When Huangfu Ke learned that An Lushan's secret envoys had all been killed, he immediately realized that the fragile balance he had been maintaining had been completely broken. He and the tens of thousands of soldiers under his command lost their most powerful bargaining chip in front of Qin Jin.

Just when Huangfu Ke was lost and depressed, his subordinates also roared and felt it.

Among them, the young scribe Chen Zai was the first to arrive, and as soon as he stepped into the door, he shouted:

"The general must calm his anger, and do not hide his anger and kill!"

Chen Zheng rushed over, the first sentence was not to report the funeral, nor to exhort, but to keep warning the emperor not to kill people out of anger, what he said, the listener naturally knew in his heart, except for Pei Jing, who was blocked outside the door early in the morning?

Huangfu Ke smiled bitterly, and it took a long time for him to ask weakly:

"Chen Zai, is such a brave and unscrupulous person in your heart?"

Chen Zheng bowed down and replied:

"Ten thousand lives are at stake, and I have to be cautious to advise when I leave, please forgive the general!"

"What are you guilty of? At this time, so-and-so should not kill out of anger!"

While speaking, Huangfu Ke secretly asked himself, even if Chen Zheng didn't stop him, would he be able to kill Pei Jing and the others? This assumption turned around in his mind twice and finally failed to get a result.

"With the general's words, you can rest assured when you go down. The reason why we came in a hurry was because we were afraid that the generals in the army would fan the flames, and if it made a big mistake, we wouldn't even have to choose the last way. ”

Sure enough, Chen Zai's worries were not groundless, and his voice just fell. As soon as the generals and lieutenants arrived, they roared loudly and angrily to cut off all the spies sent by the Shenwu Army.

"Those few milky little shafts are counted as balls, stirring up wind and rain on the territory of our Shuo Fang army, and they must be severely punished!"

"Yes, you must not be spared, you must kill them all!"

All of a sudden, the crowd was furious, and everyone who saw it was moved.

Huangfu Ke secretly sighed, if it wasn't for Chen Zheng rushing over to pour a basin of cold water on him, it was really unknown whether he could withstand the instigation of his subordinates.

When the generals present almost vented the anger in their chests, Huang Fu Ke coughed dryly, raised his hand to suppress it, and motioned for everyone to be silent.

"All the things that should be vented are done, then everyone will go, and the rest will not be your turn to decide!"

One sentence seems to be light and ingenious, but all the generals are not able to make a sound, because Huang Fu Ke's words are extremely serious, and if anyone is no longer interested, will he have to mention the general to be the master?

However, not speaking does not mean that these people have no complaints, and they all stand in place one by one, refusing to leave.

Chen Zai added at the right time.

"How? The general asked you all to return, which is not clear enough?"

Among them, the Lang general who was closest to Chen Zheng held back for a long time before he said two words: "Clear!"

"Since you can hear it clearly, don't let the general repeat it again, it's all gone, the general has his own proper arrangements!"

Under Chen Zaihu's scolding of fake tiger power, all the generals reluctantly left.

Huangfu Ke let out a long sigh, then cheered up again and straightened his body even higher.

"Sir must be confident, can you teach me?"

Chen Zheng waved his hand and said:

"I'm ashamed to go down, how dare I say that I am confident? Doesn't the general already have a fixed opinion?"

Huang Fu Ke nodded.

"I do have a fixed opinion, but if I don't listen to my husband's opinion, I always feel unsteady. ”

He was telling the truth. In front of Chen Zheng, Huangfu Ke never put on the shelf of the chief general of the army.

Chen Zheng pondered for a while, his eyes were fixed on Huangfu Ke, and he asked solemnly:

"Let's go down and ask first, and the general must have a practical answer. ”

"Ask, tell the truth!"

"Dare to ask the general, do you still have your heart for Datang?"

Huangfu Ke did not answer the rhetorical question:

"What if the heart is to Datang, and what if not to Datang?"

After receiving Huang Fuke's rhetorical question, Chen Zheng did not stop for a moment, and his speed of speech was extremely fast.

"If it is the former, there is no other way, make peace with Qin Jin, maintain the status quo, and wait for the situation to change. ”

"How easy is it to maintain the status quo? When we had the chips in our hands, we tossed too hard, how could Qin Jin's shaft not retaliate happily now?"

Chen Zheng said:

"Not necessarily! Looking down, Qin Jin is definitely not a person who confuses public and private, and he may have a place to control the general, but after all, he will focus on the overall situation!"

Huang Fu Ke asked again:

"What if the heart is no longer in Datang?"

"If you are not in Datang, the general should immediately lead his troops out of Pujin, cross the Yellow River, go to the east of the river, rely on the mountains, and may not be able to do something!"

Huangfu Ke got up, walked two steps back and forth in the room, and returned to the military couch.

"A certain flag is a last resort, and there is no desire to seek hegemony on his own!"

After receiving a positive answer, Chen Zai said:

"Since this is the case, the general should not hesitate to ask Qin Jin to talk openly and honestly. ”

"Make an appointment to meet Qin Jin's erector?"

Faced with Huang Fuke's incomprehension, Chen Zheng nodded.

"In the eyes of the Shenwu Army, we are all wolves, if we don't establish trust with Qin Jin, how can he be willing to take out food with real money?"

If it weren't for the lack of food, why would he swallow his anger among all sides? In the final analysis, the root of all his disadvantageous situations was the word lack of food.

"Yes, in order for the soldiers to have something to eat, I will ask the shaft to see it!"

However, Chen Zheng changed his words again.

"I'm only afraid that Qin Jin will take care of the general, so I am willing to give up......"

All the mess was cut off, and after the final decision, Huang Fuke regained his former composure, and said with a smile:

"Mr. despised so-and-so, and he still knew the truth of being able to bend and stretch. ”

After that, Huangfu Ke shouted at the entourage waiting outside: "Go, invite Pei Jing in, remember that it is invited! Be polite, don't be slow!"

About half an hour later, Pei Jing appeared in front of Huangfu Ke.

"The younger generation Pei respects and sees General Huangfu!"

Huangfu Ke sneered: "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and now it has been broken into sand, and it has been slapped on the bank of the river by you juniors, how dare you be a virtuous nephew?"

He said these words of indignation, but he also stopped at the point, never to the point of tearing his face.

Fortunately, Pei Jing did not get the rampant after the calculation, and he was even more respectful in front of Huangfu Ke.

"The little nephew heard that Uncle Huangfu was in poor health, so he privately speculated that he must be having a headache for the thief and the traitor. So the little nephew took matters into his own hands and solved the trouble for Uncle Huangfu! ”

Seeing Pei Jing saying something serious with a straight face, Huangfu Ke actually laughed loudly, and tears of laughter flowed out.

The so-called blue is better than blue, and he is sincerely happy to see the younger generations, so brave and strategic, but it is a pity that at this time, things are wrong, loyal and good, and traitors are in charge. The Hugou rebels are rampant, and it is the time for these young generations to show their skills and serve the imperial court, now?

Huang Fu Ke let out a heavy sigh in his chest.

Those are too far to consider, and now as long as you can keep your head for eating, it is not easy.

Pei Jing keenly caught a trace of decadence in Huang Fu Ke's eyes, although this trace of decadence was fleeting, he was still sure that he was not wrong.

"Uncle Huangfu, Qin Envoy Jun knows your difficulties, as long as Uncle Huangfu cuts off contact with the thief, guards Pujin, and does not let Hugou cross the Yellow River one step, he will ask for food and food, and ask people to give people, and there is no ambiguity!"

Huangfu Ke's eyebrows suddenly raised.

"This is what Qin Jin said?"

Pei Jing nodded and said, "When the little nephew was leaving, Qin Envoy Jun said it himself, how can it be fake?"

Seeing that Pei Jing easily said his promise, Huang Fu Ke hesitated.

Huangfu is more than half a hundred years old, has experienced countless storms, knows that the struggle is not easy, and the other party promises so easily, is there any cat in it?

Up to now, he no longer dares to underestimate Pei Jing, a junior who is a junior, since this son dares to yin himself once, who can guarantee that he will not yin himself a second time? If Pei Jing spoke cautiously and did not promise easily, Huang Fu Ke would not be so suspicious, and now once he is suspicious, no matter how much he promises, it is an empty word that has no meaning.

"Go back and tell Qin Jin that he plans to meet with him before discussing big things. ”

Pei Jingzheng said the rise, but he never expected that Huangfu Ke didn't take it seriously at all, and only asked to see Qin Envoy, and only after seeing Qin Envoy Jun had everything to talk about.

……

Pei Jing left Pujin Pass with him, and Huangfu Ke and Chen Zai sat together to discuss how the situation would develop.

Pei Jing easily promised, and thought it was not a good sign when he went down. How could such a general remark as asking for food and giving food and asking people to give people to people be said by people like Qin Jin? As a person in a higher position, how could he not know that promises should not be made lightly?"

Chen Zheng counted Pei Jing's suspicious points one by one, and Huangfu Ke agreed.

"Now that it's done, take a step, look at it!"

"The general must be ready to be embarrassed by Qin Jin, judging from Pei Jing's picky attitude, it is still underestimated before leaving!"

A day and night later, Pei Jing rushed back to Tongzhou City non-stop.

After Qin Jin learned that many of the thieves' secret envoys had been killed, he shouted excitedly: "Pei Er is comparable to the Marquis of Dingyuan!"

Huang Fu Ke had lost a bargaining chip that could be used as a bargaining chip, and Qin Jin could go to Tongguan with peace of mind, and dissuade Ge Shuhan's crazy actions no matter what.

Pei Jing finally raised his eyebrows and was ashamed, but the situation has not been satisfactorily resolved so far.

"Huangfu Ke insisted on asking to meet the envoy ......"

"Want to see me?"

Qin Jin was stunned for a moment, but immediately replied happily: "He doesn't see me, I want to see him too, Pei Er, you work hard, go back and tell Huangfu Ke that you can meet." Three days later, the ruins of Chaoyi ......"

When Pei Jing arrived at Pujin Pass with Qin Jin's handwritten letter, Huangfu Ke and Chen Zheng were taken aback. They couldn't have imagined that Qin Jin didn't have the slightest pretentiousness, but directly agreed to meet.
