After several days, there was no disturbance in the city of Tanzhou, and the recruitment work at the four city gates was still proceeding in an orderly manner. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info There are constantly sentinels coming to report, and the Song army is getting closer and closer to Tanzhou City. Cao Bin, the commander of the Song army, kept sending people to hand over letters to Han Xiaoyue, hoping to negotiate with him. Han Xiaoyue refused seven times in a row, because he knew in his heart that Cao Bin's intention was to delay time, and he would launch a general attack when the grain and grass in the rear were ready. Li Jianwei admonished: "My lord, it seems that the last general may wish to meet with their envoy. When the last general came from the palace, the anti-war voices of the court were very strong. If the adults do not put on a 'negotiable' posture, I am afraid that the voices of those anti-war factions in the court will affect His Majesty's decision. ”

Han Xiaoyue felt that it was reasonable, and nodded in response. On the second day, someone claiming to be an envoy of the Song army asked for a meeting outside the city. Han Xiaoyue chose the meeting place in Tanzhou City, and by the way, taught the envoy to see the results of his training.

Han Xiaoyue waited in the martial arts arena early in the morning. On the martial arts field, about 5,000 soldiers led by Li Jianwei were practicing new formations, and Han Xiaoyue watched from the high platform. Within an hour, the soldier stepped forward and reported: "My lord, the envoy of the Song army has arrived outside the martial arts arena. Han Xiaoyue nodded and said, "Bring the envoy to the stage." ”

After a while, a tall figure appeared beside Han Xiaoyue, and said with a deep salute: "Lord Han, don't come to harm?" Han Xiaoyue turned his head when he heard the voice, and this person was actually Tuoba Ye, who had previously called himself a "party envoy". Tuoba Ye had already cut off the pigtails at his chin and put on the official uniform of the Song people, looking polite. Han Xiaoyue exclaimed, "Why are you?"

Tuoba Ye smiled: "My lord, I didn't expect you to become the Taishou of Tanzhou, you and I are really destined!" Han Xiaoyue said: "It turns out that you are really a fine work sent by the Song Army!

Tuoba Ye bowed deeply and said: "The contemptible Tuoba Ye is indeed a member of the Dangxiang clan. It's just that the people of the Dangxiang clan have surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, and they are now envoys of the Song army. As he spoke, he looked up and down at Han Xiaoyue, who was dressed in military uniform, and said, "How did the lord sit in this position of taishou?" Han Xiaoyue shook her head and said: "Tanzhou's position of taishou is naturally inhabited by capable people. We have dealt with each other before, so let's not talk about it! What is the matter with the arrival of the Tuoba envoy? Cao Bin will not be unaware that when the two armies are fighting, it is better to see the high and low on the battlefield. ”

Tuoba Ye said with a smile: "Although the city of Tanzhou is not big, it is indeed very rich. What I have seen and heard along the way is indeed different from the style of the Central Plains. As he spoke, he pointed to the soldiers who were training on the exercise ground and said, "The soldiers and horses brought by Lord Han are also unique in ten thousand, it seems that Lord Han is bound to win this battle!" Han Xiaoyue snorted and said, "Okay, don't beat around the corner." This official knows that in addition to your business trip, you must have come with a personal vendetta. Without those politenesses, in a nutshell, what is your business trip?"

Tuoba Ye was silent for a long time and said: "Actually, Cao Shuai, as an old minister of the Tang Kingdom, really doesn't want the people of the Tang State to be involved in this war. If nothing else, let's just say that the attrition of soldiers on both sides is in the thousands. Behind a soldier is a family, who does the old father and mother of the family want to support?" Han Xiaoyue snorted and laughed: "Joke! The Song State started a war, but taught the Tang State to consider the loss of the war? How can there be such a crooked reason in the whole world?"

Tuoba Ye said: "My lord, you and I can't control the start of the war. What can influence is your and mine's attitude towards war. As you know, my Cao Shuai is also an anti-war person, and he was forced to be helpless this time. Han Xiaoyue said: "He was forced to be helpless, is this official so happy? Originally, I planned to return to the mountains and forests with my fiancée, but how could the war burn here." If you can hide for a while, you can't hide for a lifetime. ”

Tuoba Ye bowed and said, "My lord, you might as well think about it." Could it be that the court of your country is really willing to fight this battle?" Han Xiaoyue asked rhetorically, "How did you know the attitude of the Tang Imperial Court?" Tuoba Ye smiled mysteriously and said, "Lord Han, maybe you are still in the dark. Cao Shuai's envoy has already entered Jinling to bring back a message, and your majesty is afraid that peace talks will be held soon!"

Han Xiaoyue was shocked in her heart, and said secretly: "If the emperor advocates peace talks, why am I still recruiting troops here?" Thinking of this, he looked at Tuoba Ye and said with a smile: "Before receiving His Majesty's will, you and I are still the two warring parties. This must be undeniable to you!" Tuoba Ye nodded and said, "Actually, I just came here to talk to Lord Han about some private things. If Lord Han also agrees that non-war is the best policy, then we might as well cooperate in a good show. ”

"Where did the drama come from?" Tuoba Ye lowered his voice and said, "My lord, peace talks are the trend of the times, and Your Majesty doesn't want your country to suffer from misery. Cao Shuai hoped that the army would be placed under the city at the time of the peace talks between the two sides, so that the peace talks could be reached as soon as possible. Han Xiaoyue was about to object, Tuoba Ye continued, "Don't worry, my lord, the so-called Chen Bingcheng's subordinates are just for show, and we will not attack each other. After the peace talks are over, the two sides will withdraw their troops. You are not accused of surrendering to the Song Dynasty, and you can also be criticized by the anti-war faction in the court, which is the best of both worlds. ”

After hearing this, Han Xiaoyue only felt amused and said, "The above remarks, is what Cao Shuai meant?" Tuoba Ye nodded. Han Xiaoyue laughed and said: "What a joke! Why don't we change the way and ask me to tell the Tang Army to surround your country's camp tent, how about we do the same?" Tuoba Ye shook his head and said, "Then I'm afraid it won't work! This time we have an army of 100,000 troops, and Tanzhou City is ...... I'm afraid there are only a few tens of thousands!"

Han Xiaoyue said with a smile: "If my guess is correct, Cao Shuai bullied the official when he was young, thinking that the official was a yellow-haired boy who was so easy to deceive?" You go back and tell Cao Shuai and ask him to investigate the official's life experience!" If you bully me when I'm young and ignorant, let's call Cao Shuai to save it!" Tuoba Ye listened, and scolded secretly in his heart: "What a Han Xiaoyue who doesn't know how to lift, Dashuai is really a bad move." It seems that another way is needed. Thinking of this, Tuoba Ye gave a deep salute and said: "What Fang Cai said is true, and I hope that Lord Han will think deeply." ”

Han Xiaoyue ignored it and instructed Li Jianwei: "General Li, Lord Song wants to see if we deduce the formation, you can show him your hand!" Li Jianwei nodded yes, waved the colorful flag in his hand, and said in his mouth: "All the soldiers, change the formation!"

As soon as the words fell, 5,000 soldiers were densely packed and moved with the order. Within a moment, the Eight Golden Lock Array was laid out. The formation was arranged in an orderly manner, and Tuoba Ye was amazed to see it. "Change the formation!" Li Jianwei shouted again, and the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation immediately changed again. It seems that the array is scattered, but it is actually orderly, from the eight gates of the eight golden lock arrays, such as "Hugh Gate", "Life Gate", and "Injury Gate", to eighty-eight sixty-four doors in an instant. This is a set of formations that are changed from the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation and named the "Hongmen Array". The original Eight Gates Golden Lock Array entered from the Shengmen, and there was no major problem. And in this Hongmen Formation, no matter what gate the participants enter from, they will be stripped of a layer of skin.

Tuoba Ye somewhat recognized the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation, and the Eight Gates had become a sixty-four Gate Formation, how could he recognize them? Just looking at these Tang Army's orderly appearance, which was not at all like the appearance when he first came to Tanzhou and disguised himself as a party envoy, he couldn't help but feel awe: "This Han Xiaoyue in front of him really has his own means!" Just thinking about it, Li Jianwei shouted again: "Change the formation!" The sixty-four gates suddenly scattered separately to form a zigzag formation. The three sets of formations are completed in one go, and those who break into the formation are either killed or injured.

At the end of the exercise, Li Jianwei and the five thousand soldiers bowed deeply to the stage and said, "Lord Yu, the final general will finish the formation!" Han Xiaoyue nodded and said, "Okay, General Li will continue to train in martial arts!" After that, he looked at Tuoba Yedao, "What, is the envoy interested in seeing our army's fighting techniques?"

Tuoba Ambition understood in his heart that these five thousand people must have been carefully selected, and looking at it would only increase the other party's sharpness, so he shook his head and said, "Okay, don't bother too much." I hope that the adults will think about it carefully. Han Xiaoyue said with a smile: "The official's suggestion should also be asked to Cao Shuai to think about it carefully!"

After hearing this, Tuoba Ye already knew in his heart that Han Xiaoyue had actually rejected him, so he gave a deep salute and said, "Okay, I have retired!" When he left, he looked back and saw that the five thousand soldiers were not only well trained in formation, but also very skilled in fists and feet, and secretly admired them in his heart. It can be seen that on weekdays, Li Jianwei has already applied his kung fu to military training.

As soon as Tuoba Ye left, Han Xiaoyue waved his hand and summoned Li Jianwei to his side and said, "Thank you General Li for raising the momentum of my Tang Army! Do you know why the envoy came?" General Li shook his head and said, "The last general has no right to know." Han Xiaoyue shook her head and said, "At an extraordinary moment, there are not so many rules, I will tell you in detail." As he spoke, he told Tuoba Ye what he said one by one. Li Jianwei nodded frequently when he listened.

"My lord, what Song Jun thinks is too child's play!" Li Jianwei said, snorting and laughing, "Such a trick is okay to deceive a three-year-old child." Han Xiaoyue nodded and smiled: "Yes, now that they have seen our formations and soldiers' drills, they must be cautious in their next moves!"

Li Jianwei nodded and continued: "However, what he said is not unreasonable. Above the court, it was indeed the voice of anti-war that was louder, and His Majesty also took a great risk to agree to the war. Moreover, thanks to the prince's recommendation, the last general was fortunate to come to this front line to help in the war. Han Xiaoyue frowned when she heard this: "So, Your Majesty wants to negotiate peace with Song Jun, is this true?"

Li Jianwei nodded, sighed and said, "The last general is only afraid, not just peace talks." If once the negotiations start, the anti-war faction fanned the flames, His Majesty may surrender directly!" Han Xiaoyue listened and fell into deep thought. He didn't expect at this moment that what Li Jianwei said now would become a prophecy in the future.
