The Huan Imperial Court decided to cut the land, how could it be possible to discuss with the civilians, it was normal for the people to be kept in the dark.

And before, there was some kind of agreement between the two sides on the matter of peace.

Now that the news has spread, it has been learned that the ghost clan is about to enter Zhenyang, and while the people are secretly scolding King Huan, they are also scattering and fleeing for their lives, some running to relatives, and some going into exile.

On the official roads behind Zhenyang, you can see refugees pushing wooden carts or dragging families everywhere, and there is no end in sight.

The Ghost Army Battalion.

The ghost king who heard the news was furious, and when he got up, he directly overturned the table in front of him, and the things fell to the ground.

A ghost army general stood below, frightened and lowered.

"In the previous peace negotiation, it was clearly written in the treaty that the Huan army should immediately withdraw from the battlefield and not relocate the people, so as to facilitate our country and smoothly take over Zhenyang! What's going on now!? ”

When the general heard this, his Adam's apple slid and he swallowed his saliva fiercely: "I...... The vanguard of our army stationed in Zhenyang was attacked by Yan Zheng's department at the Nanguan Pass, and there was no ...... Unable to enter customs. ”

"How can it be!" The ghost king's face was hideous, and he said sharply: "Immediately let Dok, on behalf of this king, put pressure on Huan Guo!" Let this unit of the Huan army immediately withdraw from the South Pass! Tell him it's not a request! ”

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty is angry......" the general replied hurriedly.

Sometimes, through diplomatic means, it is possible to solve the problem of war without spending a single soldier, which is the most perfect method, and the ghost king will of course take it first.

And the Doke in his mouth is proficient in the Central Plains language, and he is also an official on the ghost clan's side, mainly responsible for diplomacy.

Under his orders, Doc soon met with Guo Kai, and the two sides began urgent talks on the matter.

Guo Kai was originally a weak and incompetent person, and the ghost clan had a tough attitude, grasping the matter of the peace agreement, making a big fuss about it, and wanted to hold Huan Guo responsible.

On the side of Huan Guo, he was afraid that the peace that had been reached with great difficulty would be torn up by the ghost clan, so he tried his best to curry favor with him, and on the other hand, he ordered Yan Zheng to retreat again.

As a result, this order was once again ignored by Yan Zheng.

The news came back to Xiang Ge, who also took the case and said angrily:

"What does he want to do!? Kindness!? ”

The generals on the left and right were silent, obviously, Yan did what they wanted to do but didn't dare to do, which made them admire from the bottom of their hearts.

But how could Xiang Ge think so, he only knew that Yan Zheng had already disobeyed the two military orders of his supreme commander.

Seeing that the generals were silent, he looked at a military Chinese officer again and said sharply: "You personally go to the South Pass and tell Yan Zheng that if you come back now and bear the guilt, this commander can give him another chance!" If you dare to disobey again, military law will be engaged! ”

"This ......," the civil official swallowed.

"Don't go yet!" Xiang Ge glared.

"Yes, yes, the lower official obeys ......"

The South Pass is the main road leading to Zhenyang by the ghost army, and it is not far from the current camp of the Huan army, so the civil officials rushed here the next morning.

The two met at the barracks.

The civil official first bowed his hand, and said almost in a way: "I haven't seen you for many days, don't come to the general." ”

Yan Zheng is not a fool, so he can naturally guess the purpose of the civil official's visit, so he doesn't have a good face, and says directly: "Master Kang, if you have anything to say, just say it directly." ”

"Huh." The civil official smiled, organized the language, and said: "That's the case, in view of the general's previous disobedience to the military order, Xiang Shuai asked me to convey that maybe there was a reason for the incident, as long as the general is willing to go back and give a reasonable explanation, this matter can be reversed." ”

"Roundabout?" Yan Zheng sneered: "What kind of bullshit military order is this!" I can't accept it! As a soldier, my duty is to defend my family and country! ”

"General." The civil official persuaded: "Why do you want to be strong for a while, the so-called stay in the green mountains, and you are not afraid of no firewood......"

"It's not a reckless effort!" Yan Zheng interrupted him: "If our troops retreat now, the ghost army will enter Zhenyang immediately, and there are more than 1.3 million people around, will there be time to evacuate!" Can you still escape the clutches of the ghost clan? ”

"This, these ordinary people, why care." Civil Official.

"What kind of bullshit are you!" Yan Zheng was furious and said sharply: "It is because of you soft bones!" Our army will be defeated and retreated! It is better to say that it is a request for peace, but it is better to simply say that it is a surrender! I'll ask you! If you want to humiliate the country and cut the land, why don't you notify the people of Zhenyang and let the people evacuate!? ”

"That'...... That's at the request of the ghost clan, and we can't do anything about it......" explained the civil official.

"What did you say!?" Hearing this, Yan Zheng couldn't hold back any longer, grabbed the collar of the civil official's neck, and glared and shouted: "Don't let Zhenyang go!" And send my compatriots to the ghost clan to be enslaved!? ”

He is a military general, where can the civil official resist, he was caught in front of him, and he couldn't help grinning: "General, the general is angry, it is all a decision of the imperial court, and it has nothing to do with me......"

"Get out of here! Go back and tell Xiang Ge! I swear not to retreat! Even if you fight to the last man! This is the determination of all the officers and men of my department! ”

After drinking hard, he also pushed away the civil official.

The latter stumbled and almost fell to the ground, and in such anger, where did he dare to say more, he hurriedly ran out of the barracks with his tail between his legs.

After he ran away, a commander moved the corners of his mouth and tentatively shouted: "General......"

Yan Zheng took a deep breath, and then closed his eyes in pain: "The family and the country are in trouble, the husband is responsible, the hateful generals in the army, all the rats, the court is weak and incompetent, although my generation has the heart to serve the country, but it is also difficult to support ......"

He knew very well in his heart that 5,000 people would not be able to hold the southern pass, but he still decided to fight to the death, in order to be able to keep one more day, one more day, that is, to give the people one more day to escape.

And he refused to accept the order three times, and the news was transmitted back to Xiang Ge, who was so angry that he couldn't help but scold:

"Piff Yan Zheng! Don't say anything about disobeying military orders! Dare to call Ben Shuai by his name! What a sin deserves death! ”

can be scolded and scolded, but now, he has no way to take Yan Zheng.

On the other side, Yan Zheng held the pass and did not retreat, and the ghost king naturally began to hold Guo Kai accountable, and the latter was in the midst of maneuvering, while currying favor, he also directly said that Yan Zheng was a rebel, saying that he was no longer in the Huan army and was not under command.

Diplomacy was useless, the ghost king was furious, and immediately did not delay, because if this continued, the people around Zhenyang fled one after another, and when the time came, it would become an empty city.

He also immediately called a general, and said in a loud voice:

"Immediately launch a strong assault on the South Pass! Be sure to exterminate Yan Zheng's department within three days! ”

"Yes!" The general's body was shocked and he took the order and left.
