"Look at this. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Chen Jin handed the two letters to Wu Bengong and Lu Gu. A copy of Xu Jin's report, and a letter of surrender sent by Wei Wuyu.

"'Su Ling won a big victory. Wu Zuojun retreated to Yanhui Pass'. Are they blockading the geese back to the customs?! Wu Bengong exclaimed.

"Wu Wangwei is fake to save Chen, and it is true that he wants to reap the benefits of the fisherman. The way of soldiers is insidious, and it has been since ancient times! He is in the name of rescuing Chen Guo! The vanguard of Wu is here, but he can't kill it. ”

If Chen Jin killed Zhang De in anger, it would be Chen Guo's treachery, and who in the world would be willing to help Chen Guo again. When the time comes, Wu Guo will take down Chen Guo in one fell swoop, and no one can say anything. If Chen Jin doesn't kill Zhang De, Zhang De can just watch Qiheng. If the right army is defeated, he controls Qiheng, although he does not coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but he can get a division and become famous. This King Wu is really greedy and ruthless!

Chen Jin knew it, but he was helpless!

"Xinling has insufficient soldiers and horses, Su Ling can sneak attack once, but he doesn't have the troops to pursue." Lu Gu wondered. "Now that the Wu soldiers occupy Yanhui Pass, Xinling has not been able to attack it for a long time. Wei Wuyu's way back south was blocked, and he must step up his attack. ”

"But it's not certain who will die or who will live!" Chen Jinfa said ruthlessly. It's just that although the voice is loud, the confidence is insufficient.

"What do General Xu and General Hu say?" Wu Bengong said.

Chen Jin sighed, "Nagano Pass is also difficult to hold. ”

Wu Bengong said, "Then don't keep it." The troops can't go back, there is no danger to defend, and they must be in a hurry to go north. If you can force him into the Trapped Beast Valley, the East and West Tiger Pass will be easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the two passes and one will be blocked with a small number of troops. ”

Chen Jin's eyes lit up, and he groped for the route from Nagano Pass to the Valley of the Trapped Beasts on the map. "Good! The valley of the trapped beast is long and narrow, and it is useless for him to have soldiers. Outside the Leopard Pass is the place of the decisive battle! ”

"Your Highness, do you know what is the chance of winning this move?" Wu Bengong said.

How much? If it is counted in terms of military strength alone, it is only two percent, and there is a possibility of a war, which also depends on the terrain. Chen Jin was speechless, and only said after a while, "Forty percent." ”

"Forty percent odds is risky enough. But did Your Highness ever think that there is no room for turning around in this battle, and if it is defeated, the whole army will be annihilated! Chen Guo had no brave soldiers in ten years. ”

Chen Jin closed his eyes and clenched his fists, "It is obvious that I have a grudge against my father and a hatred of aggression against Chen Guo, if you want to surrender, there is no way to surrender, you can only fight to the death!" ”

"Your Highness!" Wu Bengong suddenly raised his sword and knelt half-way, "Even if there is only a chance of winning, I am willing to fight to the death." But there is one thing, which is related to all living beings in the world, and you can't take half of the risk. ”

――

Chen Xiu pushed open the door and saw Chen Jin sitting in front of the table thoughtfully. Chen Xiu suddenly felt a little familiar, and he didn't shout out a 'third brother' stuck in his throat, and he was stunned for a moment before stepping in. Why did Chen Jin suddenly want to see him at this time?

When Chen Jin heard the movement, he didn't look at him, buried his head in the report, and said, "Brother Hugh, if I ask you, you have to tell me honestly." I asked you to go to Weiguo to find the eldest brother, can you do it? ”

Chen Xiu was slightly shocked, "Go to defend the country?" "Every time he gets into trouble, he thinks about escaping, and he doesn't know how many times he has studied the route from Gaoqu to Weiguo.

"I won't stop you this time, and I can't help you."

Chen Xiu looked at Chen Jin, not knowing what he meant, "It should be...... No problem. ”

Chen Jin put down his pen and looked up at Chen Xiu, "That's good." Tomorrow you will go. Wait for me at the West Gate tomorrow morning. ”

"You've got to tell me what to do, don't you?" Chen Xiu exclaimed.

Chen Jin was silent. Chen Xiu knew his temper and sighed, "Chen Guo is in this ...... At the critical moment, I ran away in a smoke, not like words, didn't I? ”

Chen Jin smiled bitterly and stared up at him, "What can you do here?" If someone else is as idle and useless as you, I won't let you go. ”

In Gaoqu West City, Chen Xiu sat in the carriage and waved the whip in his hand. Muttering and complaining. Hmph, it's useless for me! I'm idle!

A reining sound. Chen Xiu looked up at the person and jumped out of the car in shock.

Lu Yu!

What's going on? Chen Xiu didn't sit or sit when he stood up, he just felt that there was no place to put his hands and feet. Seeing that Chen Jin had also arrived, Chen Xiu seemed to see a savior, so he ran over, and saw the burden in Chen Jin's arms, and was immediately dumbfounded.

"Third brother, what are you doing with a child?" Chen Xiu exclaimed.

"I asked you to defend the country, naturally there is something for you to do, you take this child to defend the country and go to the eldest brother."

Lu Gu was also shocked, "Third Highness! Seeing that Chen Jin didn't react, he simply turned aside. Thousands of miles away from Gaoqu to Weiguo, let Chen Xiu take His Royal Highness with him?

Chen Jin smiled at Chen Xiu and said, "Brother Xiu, you take him first." ”

Chen Xiu avoided it from afar, "I won't take it." Doesn't he look like he's full moon yet? What to do if you cry, what to do when you are hungry? ”

Chen Jin smiled bitterly, "Come here." ”

"No, you obviously said that you were giving me something, who knows it's a child. It's such a big burden, it's better for you to give me nothing than this. On the way, he was thirsty and hungry, crying and couldn't speak, how do I know! Chen Xiu didn't look at it.

Chen Xiu was talking endlessly, but he didn't see Chen Jin's face gradually change, "Chen Xiu! ”

The voice was not too loud, but it startled Chen Xiu. Chen Jin called him by name and surname, which was really angry.

The child was startled and cried at the top of his throat. Lu Yu took the child over.

"It's not a joke! Brother Hugh, you are not a stupid person, so I gave this child to you. If you are still willing to call me a third brother, listen to me and protect your eternal life. It can also help me fulfill this promise. Chen Jin said in a deep voice.

Chen Xiu was stunned and stared at Chen Jin for a while before nodding. "But I can't take him with me."

Chen Jin looked at Lu Yu on the side again and said, "Lu Yu will also go with him." ”

Chen Xiu looked at Lu Yu and felt a chill down his spine.

His expression was funny, but now Chen Jin really couldn't laugh. Lu Yu looked at it and twisted his face.

Chen Jin took out a wooden box and handed it to Chen Xiu, "You must put away this thing, take it to Weiguo and hand it over to the eldest brother, you must not lose it." ”

Chen Xiu saw him serious, and his heart was shocked, this matter is very important, "Okay." I lost my life, and I won't lose it! ”

"Alright, let's go!" Chen Jin smiled bitterly.

Chen Xiu replied and jumped into the car with the wooden box, looked at Chen Jin again, and finally said solemnly, "You look!" This time I'm going to do it beautifully! ”

Chen Jin smiled when he heard this, and waited until the carriage left the city gate before he sighed lightly.

Shinling

The rain finally fell, the clouds cleared and the fog dispersed, and the faint sound of spring cicadas drowned out the bustling crowd of Xinling City. The siege of Xinling has been lifted, and the 80,000 elite soldiers transferred from the south have also arrived. Su Ling was a general and led the troops to pursue Wu Guo! I don't know life and death, I don't know success or failure, and I don't know when we will see each other again!

The periphery of the palace gate was full of people who were talking to each other. After a while, I don't know who shouted, 'Come out'! The crowd was bustling all of a sudden, the front ones excitedly hooked their heads to look at the Zhengtian Gate, and the back ones squeezed forward desperately. The side doors on both sides opened, and the guards ran out to line up the crowd and open a path.

In the Zhengtian Gate, a team of people and horses advanced silently.

Wanyi followed slowly on Su Lingma's side.

"If you return victorious, you may marry a princess too." There were a few sourness in Wanyi's voice.

"Look at the princess of Xinling, but there are people of the same age as me?" Su Ling smiled bitterly in a low voice.

"There is no princess, and there is no princess. There is no county lord, and there are daughters of other princes and ministers! Wanyi also smiled bitterly. After that, there was no sound, only the sound of horses' hooves trampling. The gate of heaven has arrived. Su Ling Lerma stopped.

"You're waiting for me in Shinling." Su Ling said in a deep voice.

"Can you wait?"

"Yes."

Wan Yi lowered her head and smiled, "I don't lie to you, I just said this to ask you for this promise." ”

The ceremonial officer sang, "The general of the expedition to the west has arrived!" The gatekeeper opened the inner door.

Wanyi looked at Su Ling, "Life and death go hand in hand." ”

Su Ling was stunned, and then looked at Wanyi. At this time, the outer door is about to open. "Life and death go hand in hand." Su Ling said.

The ceremonial officer sang again, "The general of the expedition to the west has arrived!" ”

Su Ling rode out of the horse, and all the generals followed him, and there was a cheer outside the door. The young general, the first battle was a great victory, and at this time he led the troops to the expedition and the whole city sent him off, the heroic boy, that's what he said.

And behind the cheering crowd, there was also a big fight.

Yanzi sat on the eaves and looked down at the guards of the Hou Mansion who had already controlled the scene, "How is it?" I just said that at this time, someone will come out and make trouble! ”

"Thanks!" Wei Chengwu nodded and arched his hand, looking in the direction where Su Ling had gone.

"I didn't hear the thanks." Yanzi laughed, "Don't worry, there is a beautiful woman waiting, and he is reluctant not to come back." ”

At this time, the last masked man had also been controlled, and the swallow jumped off the eaves and quickly clicked on the acupuncture point. Wei Chengwu was suspicious, but saw that the other masked people who were held had already committed suicide.

The swallow ripped the man's mask off and grabbed him by the throat and slapped him back, and the man immediately spat out a green pill. "Suicide is out of the question. Say, why kill Su Sheng? ”

The man couldn't beg for death, but he refused to give in, and straightened up coldly, "I wish I had killed him." ”

"Huh! Not you? Swallow laughed, "Then why did you come to assassinate Su Ling?" Don't say you're killing on a whim. ”

"Revenge."

"What kind of enmity does the little marquis have with you?" Wei Chengwu said in a low voice.

The man glared at Wei Chengwu and sneered, "Which of the Xianguo people has no enmity with us?!" ”

Yanzi frowned lightly and said with a wry smile, "You are smart, and you will take revenge in advance." But you don't have a chance. ”

"No chance? Have you finished killing the people of Wu? The man was taken away and sneered, "The enemyity of the countrymen will be avenged!" He Su Ling will die sooner or later! ”

Yanzi chased and smiled bitterly, even if Su Ling died, what could he do? The people of Wu can't kill them all, and how can the people of Xianguo kill them all! Swallow looked at the tiger head mask in his hand. A small gambling house.
