Chapter 197: The Next Move

"Zhou Cheng is indeed very powerful, but the war has never ended simply after one or two battles, military and politics have always been inseparable, but unfortunately, Zhou Cheng he doesn't understand, or rather, he is just a pure martial artist. Han Ming said with emotion.

Everyone nodded as if they didn't understand, Han Ming did have some truth in saying this, but it was simple on the surface, and it was still not easy to understand when he studied it deeply.

After Liu Zhixian nodded, he hurriedly asked, "General, now that Pingguan has been taken, where should we fight next?"

Hearing this, Han Ming didn't answer, but just glanced in the direction of the Pingguan City Wall.

Then he said: "Let's go down first, let the soldiers have a good rest, everyone is tired during this time." ”

After everyone left, Han Ming picked up a volume of letters on the table and walked out of the tent.

As soon as he came out of the camp, he walked to a civilian residential area in the Han Ming Dynasty.

Although Pingguan is a military fortress, because of the perennial treatment of the hinterland of the country, it has not been baptized by war, and there are many soldiers' families who have settled in Pingguan.

And the families of these soldiers live in the civilian residential area of Pingguan. Because the war of the Chu army burned to Pingguan, the people who originally lived in Pingguan fled one after another, leaving only empty houses.

Now this residential area is home to many wounded members of the Chu army, as well as the families of some officials and generals who have surrendered.

Han Ming came to the residential area and walked straight towards the best-built one of them.

As soon as I entered the courtyard gate, I heard a crackling sound, which made people wonder what was going on?

However, Han Ming didn't care, and walked in calmly.

As soon as you enter the courtyard, you can see that a house on the left is locked, and the sound is coming from inside.

Before Han Ming could take a closer look, a person came out of the hall, and as soon as this person saw Han Ming, he immediately rushed up and saluted, "My lord, why are you here?"

"I'll take care of your troubles. After speaking, Han Ming also stretched out his head towards the locked room.

"My lord, my subordinates have no choice but to lock her up temporarily, so that she doesn't cause trouble everywhere. ”

Han Ming shook his head, "Hey, Han Yu, Han Yu, are you going to lock her up for the rest of your life, you must know that if some things are not resolved, you will not be able to delay it." ”

Hearing Han Ming's words, Han Yu was a little embarrassed, he really didn't think of any good way, he was sorry for Zhou Churou, but she had saved her life, and she couldn't die without saving it.

Besides, Han Yu has always had an inexplicable affection for Zhou Churou, but because of his identity, he has always been hidden in his heart.

Han Ming patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, I'm here today to solve this problem for you." ”

Solve the problem for yourself? Han Yu was a little puzzled when he heard this, he knew his own problem best, this was an unsolvable situation in itself, but what way did Han Ming have to solve this problem?

Seeing that Han Yupestle was in place, Han Ming shouted at him: "Hey, what are you doing? ”

"Oh...... Oooh. Han Yu reacted and hurriedly opened it for Han Ming.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw a woman sitting with her back to the two of them, looking puffed up, the floor was full of broken porcelain bottles and teacups, and the whole room was messy.

As soon as Han Ming entered the door, he immediately mocked: "I didn't expect that the eldest lady of the Zhou family, who is famous all over the world, is such a sloppy person in private. ”

Hearing Han Ming say this, Zhou Churou immediately turned her head.

"Who are you?" Zhou Churou asked coldly.

Han Ming smiled, "I'm your father's friend. ”

"Hehe!" Hearing this, Zhou Churou also smiled, but it was just a sneer.

"You are a dignified general of the Chu Army, and you actually said that you are friends with my father, and you simply laughed off your big teeth. ”

"What, don't you believe it?" Han Ming asked rhetorically.

Zhou Churou shook her head, "I don't believe it." ”

As he spoke, Han Ming took out a secret letter from his chest, "Look at it, is this your father's handwriting." ”

When Zhou Churou heard this, she immediately took the letter handed by Han Ming, the letter was indeed his father's handwriting, which she knew best, but as for the content of the letter, she didn't care too much.

"This is a letter from my father to you?" asked Zhou Churou with a suspicious expression.

Han Ming nodded, "That's right. ”

Han Ming replied calmly, but Zhou Kerou had a deeply doubtful expression and couldn't accept it.

"Impossible, impossible, my father will never know the general of the Chu State!"

"Uh...... Let me interrupt, it is not the general of the Chu State, but the general of the Chu State, the generalissimo of the three armies, the fake festival, and the second-class hero, Han Ming. ”

"Hmph, then my dad can't be friends with you. Zhou Kerou retorted coldly.

"Miss Zhou, it seems that you still don't know much about your father, you may not know, although your father is on the surface with me Zhongchu, but we have a very good relationship in private, and you can see the clues from the letter in your hand. ”

I saw Zhou Churou say with a hard face: "With only one letter, why do you make me believe you?"

"I can tell you the story of your father's murder. ”

After speaking, Han Ming began to narrate while reminiscing.

"Although your father and I are good friends, after all, we are our own masters, and we naturally have to see each other on the battlefield, and I was lucky enough to win a game against your father. After that, he began to defend the Pingguan, your father was very strong, under the Pingguan, I lost more than 20,000 people and failed to defeat it, and finally had no choice but to retreat. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Churou's tone also softened slightly, "Then what did you let Han Yu do in Tiandu City?"

"Of course, I'm going to let him do the same thing as last time - spread rumors about your father, and let Emperor Liguo replace him from Pingguan. ”

Han Ming looked confident, as if this was a matter of course.

Hearing this, Zhou Churou's tone began to be cold again, "So, you are all responsible for my father's death?"

"No!" I saw Han Ming reply categorically.

Such an answer made Han Yu next to him stunned, he didn't expect Han Ming's ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense to be so strong.

"Isn't it?" This time it was Zhou Kerou's turn to be puzzled, obviously Han Yu had already admitted it, but he didn't expect that the generalissimo of the three armies of the Chu State in front of him would deny it.

"I know you must have doubts in your heart, don't worry, and listen to me. ”

"I did let Han Yu go to Tiandu City to spread the rumors about your father, but this is all a harmless prank, it doesn't pose a threat to your father at all, it's my subordinates who are really threatened, I believe you should also understand it." ”

"And why was your father urged back by the emperor with eight tokens, the truth is here!"

After speaking, Han Ming took out another letter from his arms.

"This is a letter written by Fan Chun, the guardian of Pingguan City, to his brother, but before he could send it, Pingguan was taken down by me, and this letter happened to be placed on Fan Chun's desk at that time. Fan Chun himself was hacked to death with a knife in the process of fleeing. ”

Zhou Kerou took the letter suspiciously and read it carefully.

The letter recounted in detail how Fan Chun reported Zhou Quan's deeds with fuel and vinegar, and charged him with supporting the army and trying to rebel.

Seeing the end, Zhou Kerou's eyes had turned red, and she clenched her teeth, as if she wanted to eat the other party alive.

"I also organized an army counterattack after learning that Brother Zhou was killed, firstly to take Pingguan, and secondly, to avenge your father. Han Ming said without changing his face, leaving Han Yu on the side speechless.

"You know, the previous siege has knocked out the only remaining morale of our army, but when I learned of Brother Zhou's death, I didn't care about anything else, and personally led the troops to take Pingguan, although the brothers suffered heavy casualties, but I felt that I avenged Brother Zhou, it was worth it!"

In fact, when Han Ming took out the envelope with Zhou Quan's handwriting, Zhou Churou had already believed what Han Ming had just said, but she was not sure, and now that there was Fan Chun's letter, she could be completely relieved.

"The dead are gone, but the living are strong. We have avenged your father's revenge for you, and I hope that you can live a chic and uninhibited life in the future, and you can also be worthy of my friend's spirit in the sky. After speaking, Han Ming specially lowered his head and mourned in silence for a while.

On the other hand, Zhou Churou has already cried into tears.

Han Ming was embarrassed to see his role as a light bulb between the two, and turned away very knowingly, leaving the two alone in the room.

The next day, Han Yu reacted to Han Ming, saying that Zhou Churou had already started eating, and he was not taking any ill will towards him.

But she also occasionally asks people about her father.

"Haha, let her ask, she can ask as much as she wants, no need to stop. Han Yu, I'll tell you a truth today. Remember, to deceive people, you must be true in nine out of ten sentences, so that people can't distinguish between good and bad, and this is the highest level of deception. Don't worry, what I said yesterday, even if she asked God, the answer she got was still this. Unless I am resurrected, I cannot be proven to have lied. ”

When Han Yu heard this, he scratched his head a little embarrassed, after all, he was still clear about this, although he knew that Han Ming was doing this for him, but when he thought that this kind of behavior was called deception, he felt uncomfortable.

Han Ming may have seen Han Yu's thoughts, put his right hand on his shoulder, and comforted: "Sometimes, a white lie can save more than just one person. ”

While Han Yu was still thinking about this, Han Ming began to say again: "Okay, you go and call everyone here, I have something important to announce." ”

"No!" As soon as he heard that he had something to do, Han Yu didn't think about anything else, and was busy going out to do errands.

Half an hour later, all the generals of Pingguan were gathering in the hall, Han Ming glanced at everyone, nodded, and began to say: "I have something to announce next, I hope everyone will not be excited after hearing it." ”

As soon as they heard this, everyone knew that Han Ming was about to arrange a plan to go on an expedition, and when the time came, there would definitely be someone who would stay behind to guard Pingguan, and someone would go out to fight with the troops.

Everyone is looking forward to who will go out with the army to fight.

"Early in the morning, I have sent a team of envoys to formally initiate peace talks with Liguo. “
