As the noble son of the Qin State, Nie Yunfeng had eaten countless delicacies from the mountains and seas in the past, but now he felt that the pot of meat that Chu Jiangmian cooked by himself tonight was the best thing he had ever eaten when he was so old.

Some things in the world are just so strange. The few people who killed each other yesterday will soon sit around and eat meat together. It has to be said that the delicious taste that exudes an enticing aroma is often more reassuring than a cold murder weapon. At least tonight, the killing intent between each other has been temporarily eliminated in this atmosphere.

If you are seen by outsiders, you will never believe this scene in front of you. On the stove, which was simply made of stones and sand, the flames licked the edge of the cauldron in the middle, and the wood crackled. In the boiling water, pieces of meat and large bones tumble up and down. Chu Jiangmian used a knife to take out the cooked ones and cut them, and then distributed them to the wooden plates in front of everyone. The people sitting around were Murong Licheng, Long Yu, Wutong Guan guards Yun Peng and Wu Sheng and several other captains on the left, while Nie Yunfeng and Wang Jian were on the right. Everyone doesn't care about anything else, and they are all burying their heads in eating.

"Don't tell Your Highness the Prince, I haven't eaten since yesterday...... Alas! This meal is so fragrant. ”

Nie Yunfeng's mouth was full of oil, but at this time, he didn't care about those noble sons. Stretched out his sleeves to wipe them clean, and involuntarily burped, after hunger, he ate such a fragrant meal, as comfortable as he wanted.

Wang Jian was silent with a tiger's face, and only gobbled it up. He's so hungry, it's so hard to eat. If he had to choose how to die, he would rather be killed by a knife and burned by fire than starved to death!

And Chu Jiangmian, who personally prepared this pot of "stewed meat" for them, just nodded lightly and said casually: "This is the game that the soldiers shot in the surrounding woods with local materials. The night is very long, Yunfeng Gongzi can eat slowly, no need to worry. ”

"Huh! I'm already full, and I can't stand it anymore...... By the way, why doesn't Your Highness eat it? ”

Nie Yunfeng arched his hand, and there was a bit of respect in his words, I am afraid that even he himself did not notice the change in his tone. However, he suddenly realized that Chu Jiangmian hadn't even eaten a bite from beginning to end.

The others also raised their heads together, and Wang Jian's eyes flashed with haze, and a thought suddenly rose in his heart, could it be that Chu Jiangmian had bad intentions? However, the next moment, Chu Jiangmian restrained his smile, and the words he said when he lowered his head made everyone a little silent.

"My father is newly deceased, I am mourning, and I will not move the meat ......."

The surroundings quieted down, and through the steaming heat in front of him, Wang Jian saw clearly that the young man on the opposite side, who had just defeated his 80,000 army, had black yarn wrapped around his arms, and he was still wearing filial piety clothes. I don't know what the reason is, but an inexplicable respect suddenly rose in his heart. If King Zhao has a son, he should also smile at Jiuquan!

"King Zhao I is a hero, and I have led the people of Zhao to fight against the Beihu cavalry for several years, and I also admire it very much...... Now that it has passed, it is really amazing! ”

After being silent for a while, Wang Jian said this sentence with a solemn look on his face, which was what he really thought in his heart. Although he is a general of the Qin State, for the sake of the country's great plan, it is incumbent on him to follow the king's order to go out to attack. But this did not prevent him from admiring King Chulie of Zhao.

Chu Jiangmian nodded at him as a sign of gratitude. However, then Wang Jian sighed and said again, directly revealing the grievances in his heart.

"Alas! My eldest son and I have meat to eat here. But he took pity on those Qin Guo's children...... Chu Jiangmian, your trick to cut off people's back roads, but it's really ruthless! ”

Hearing his words, Yun Peng, the guard general who led the soldiers and horses of Wutong Pass, wanted to throw the short knife in his hand in his face! As the most direct executor of Chu Jiangmian's plan to clear the wilderness, Yun Peng led 30,000 Zhao troops, and the hard work and sweat paid in the range of hundreds of miles from Wutong Pass to Pingling Pass were not much lighter than fighting on the battlefield. It was precisely because he carried out this order well that he indirectly caused a passive situation for the Qin and Wei armies. And the huge role he and all his subordinates played in this, Chu Jiangmian understood better than anyone else. Just now, this Wutong guard has been praised by Chu Jiangmian in public, and I believe that when the war ends soon, he will naturally have a strong mark on the credit book.

"My Royal Highness is like a god in the use of soldiers, this is just a small trick! It's just a pity that the Wei general Che Li died in the hands of General Murong, otherwise, this time he would have been broken into thousands of pieces to avenge the old general Yuanrong! ”

Yun Peng finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and said angrily. Wang Jian lowered his head a little embarrassed and kept silent. The winner is the king and the loser is the thief, and it has reached the point where there is no need to say anything.

Chu Jiangmian waved his hand, signaling that Yun Peng didn't need to say such things anymore. He glanced at the two people sitting across from him, and then said calmly.

"I don't like war, and I don't like killing. The reason why he went to the battlefield in person this time was just to fulfill his promise to the former king and protect his people on his behalf. General Wang Jian, the son of Yunfeng, although it is sometimes impossible to say who is right and who is wrong in war, there is a distinction between justice and injustice. The king of Qin united with the princes of the four directions, and took advantage of the mourning of the Zhao state to attack in five directions, intending to destroy the ...... This in itself is a move that defies the world's condemnation. Since ancient times, those who fight with strength have all been defeated! I hope that in the future, when you return to Qin, you will be able to convey these words of mine to the King of Qin. ”

Wang Jian's face hadn't shown anything yet, but Nie Yunfeng was already overjoyed. He hurriedly got up and asked, "What does Your Highness mean...... Will they let us go back to Qin? ”

"When the war is over and you return to Dragon City, of course I will let you go back. And the sooner or later of this time depends on the attitude of the two of you, Prince Yunfeng and General Wang Jian. Hehe! ”

Nie Yunfeng and Wang Jian glanced at each other, their hearts were secretly churning, but they didn't know what conditions Chu Jiangmian would propose, they were destined to be no longer calm tonight.

Before you know it, the sky is bright, and the next day is coming soon. The soldiers of the Zhao State, who were full of spirit and high morale, still did not attack the besieged people on the hillside. In accordance with Chu Jiangmian's order, they set up dozens of cauldrons in front of the army array, and washed and peeled all the birds and animals that were hunted from nearby, as well as the pigs and sheep that were originally in the army, and steamed them in the pot.

It's too bad! Without much effort, the smell of meat was permeated between the four fields, and the wind blew up the hillside in gusts. The Qin Wei soldiers, who were already dizzy from hunger and had not had a good rest, stretched out their noses and greedily sniffed the fragrance wafting over, and green light appeared in their eyes.

Then, something even more unbearable happened. Zhao Jun at the foot of the hill began to take turns eating. They lined up around the steaming cauldron, eating meat in large pieces and drinking soup in large bowls. Even from such a distance, it seems that you can feel their hearty pleasure.

The Qin and Wei soldiers were going crazy. People are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry! No matter how powerful a warrior is, no one can stand being hungry for so many days and one night! Under the temptation of this smell of meat, the rumbling sound of the stomach comes and goes, which is unbearable. Eventually, a jumbled chatter began to ring out among them.

"Zhao Guoren is simply too much! These nasty guys...... If only I could have a bite of meat! Alas! ”

"They just did it on purpose! Let's not be fooled. ”

"What about deliberate? Trapped here, starving to death. If I knew this, I might as well take advantage of yesterday's strength to kill it directly! ”

"Take a good look at the momentum of Zhao Guo's soldiers and horses! If you want to rush out at this time, you are just killing yourself. Even the general and the prince have been captured, what can we do with them? ”

"At this time, if I go down to eat a big meal, even if I am hacked to death, I will admit it! It's better than waiting here to be a starving ghost. ”

The lieutenant general and a few lieutenants who led them were no better, and listening to these messy voices, they wanted to stop them harshly. But as soon as I got up with the knife, I felt dizzy and shivered with hunger. At this time, don't say that you have to rush down any further, you have to take a breath when you shout loudly.

At this moment, the loud soldiers and soldiers of Zhao who had shouted last night began to shout loudly at the hillside again. The old tune of telling them to put down their weapons and surrender was repeated, but new content was added. That is, fragrant meat and a big bowl of rice have been prepared for them below, as long as they throw away their weapons and go down, they can eat as much as they want!

"Your Highness, according to the observation of the last general, the Qin Wei army has little ability to resist at all. Why don't you order our army to go up now? ”

Yun Peng was eager to try it out next to him. Last night, he had learned in detail about the impressive achievements of the Dragoon Army and the Tiger Army, which made him feel envious. This last chance on the battlefield, he really wanted Chu Jiangmian to hand over to the foot soldiers he led to complete.

Chu Jiangmian naturally understood his thoughts. He turned around and patted him on the shoulder, and smiled indifferently: "Don't worry! You can't thank you for the credit. It's just that if you can end this war without moving, why bother to shed blood? ”

"But...... Your Highness, are you sure that they will really come down and surrender on their own? ”

"Absolutely! Just wait and see...... Oh, General Wang Jian, please come here, your men will be here soon. ”

Wang Jian lowered his head gloomily, he knew that he had lost. Chu Jiangmian was right, the besieged Qin Wei army was raising his hands and slowly walking down the hillside from front to back .......

The soldiers are bloodless, and the enemy is tied! The Battle of Pingling Pass ended with the complete victory of the Zhao army.
