"Did you hear, there was an accident on the Chinese side yesterday."

"Oh? What do you mean? ”

Sha Zhou, who was wandering around the camp because he was bored, suddenly slowed down when he heard this, and he eavesdropped on Song Jun's conversation as he walked.

"It seems that General Zhengnan proposed to withdraw the troops, but several other generals disagreed. The two sides of the quarrel started to move, and when they heard that the fight was still very fierce, even General Li Kui's beard was torn off. ”

"Hey, that's pretty intense."

"Not really."

Sha Zhou actually didn't hold on to things, and things would definitely develop as he thought. Originally, he was still a little apprehensive, but the big stone that had always hung in his heart quietly fell at this moment.

……

As night fell, the prisoners of war began to rest in the camp lying in their rows. Sha Zhou, who was about to lie down, heard the sound of footsteps and sat up from the ground.

Seeing the two Song Army armor soldiers walking towards him, Sha Zhou couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.

"You're Sha Zhou." The two armor soldiers stopped in front of Sha Zhou and whispered, "Come with us." ”

Sha Zhou stood up, "What are you doing?" ”

"Don't ask what you shouldn't."

The armor snorted coldly, turned around and walked directly towards the outside of the camp, and Sha Zhou had to follow. The Song soldiers standing guard around seemed to be unable to see them, and Sha Zhou followed the two out of the camp where he had been locked up for more than half a month.

The two men in front of them were on a rampage, and finally stopped in front of a military tent. One of the soldiers whispered to the inside of the tent, "General, the man has arrived." ”

"Let him in."

A very young voice came from the military tent, which couldn't help but make Sha Zhou's heart beat violently.

At the urging of the two armorers, Sha Zhou lifted the curtain and walked into the military tent. As Sha Zhou thought, there was only one young man in a white robe in the military tent, who was smiling at him right now.

"General Sha, sit." Guo Yu smiled and raised his hand at Sha Zhou, motioning for him to sit down.

Sha Zhou was not hypocritical, he sat in front of Guo Yu generously, and then said: "This big night, I don't know what General Zhengnan wants to see me, a prisoner?" ”

"I called General Sha to come here to ask..."

Guo Yu said with a smile: "General Sha, how much is your good head worth?" ”

Sha Zhou, who was already very sure in his heart, naturally would not be frightened by Guo Yu, and sneered at the moment: "A rotten life is not worth much." If you want, take it. ”

"Then it's better to be respectful."

Sha Zhou's expression froze, and he was about to speak, when he suddenly saw a silver light light in front of him.

He subconsciously closed his eyes, and even felt a chill in his neck.

"It seems that General Sha doesn't see death as he says."

Hearing Guo Yu's voice, Sha Zhou opened his eyes, and then saw a long sword firmly resting on his neck.

"You..."

Looking at this long sword that was close at hand and could cut his throat with just a slight forward, Sha Zhou couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and his heart also wavered.

Could it be that this Guo Yu didn't want to withdraw from the army at all, so he called himself at this moment.

Do you just want to use your own head to stabilize the morale of the army?

Sha Zhou swallowed his saliva, and didn't dare to act rashly for a while.

"Come on now, we can have a good talk."

Seeing Guo Yu put down his sword, Sha Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Anyway, it's not just about you." Guo Yu smelled the stench on Sha Zhou's body, fanned it with his hand, frowned and said, "General Sha, as Che Tian's henchman and favorite general, presumably Che Tian should attach great importance to you..."

Guo Yu chuckled and said, "It's not a secret, Chen Xi was seriously injured by Zhao Wenqi and couldn't go into battle." There was a vacancy in command of the Song army, and in such a difficult situation, no one wanted to do this thankless job, so I was pushed out by them. ”

"You also know Chen Xi's influence, where would those gang of Song Jun be willing to let me, the Qi State Descendant, lead them in the future? Although my name is General Zhengnan, in fact, the military order cannot be passed on at all. Except for the 5,000 scattered city troops under his command, even a Song pawn couldn't move. ”

Hearing this, Sha Zhou couldn't help but think of what he had seen in the camp two days ago, and he believed Guo Yu's words a little more in his heart.

"The grain and grass are urgent, the subordinates do not listen, and there are 100,000 Qi troops eyeing the Tianwei Pass, and the Song army is doomed to defeat in this battle. Those Song generals also knew this, so they asked me to be the commander of these three armies, just waiting for the defeat of the Song army, and then put all the blame on me. ”

Sha Zhou said a little strangely: "In that case, why don't you just withdraw the army?" ”

Guo Yu smiled bitterly: "Do you think I don't want to, I have proposed to withdraw several times in the past few days, but those generals have refused every time on the grounds that they have no face to see the elders of Yanzhou, and today we even fought for it." ”

Sha Zhou remembered the conversation between the two Song soldiers he overheard in the evening, and couldn't help but be silent.

With the arrogance of the Song people, they would not be willing to retreat, let alone retreat in the war of the Qi State, which had a deep hatred with them.

Even if they withdraw, it is estimated that they will be drowned by the saliva of the common people of the Song Kingdom after returning to China.

Thinking about it this way, Sha Zhou also understood why Guo Yu became the general of the expedition to the south.

Born in Sancheng, and not long after the surrender of the Song Dynasty, the general of the Qi State without any background is simply suitable to be a scapegoat in this situation where whoever goes up and who dies.

"Since they are unkind, do not blame me for being unjust. If you want Lao Tzu to be a substitute for the dead ghost, there is no door. ”

A cold glint flashed in Guo Yu's eyes, and he looked up at Sha Zhou: "So I want to use you, as well as the 10,000 Qi soldiers in the camp, in exchange for the stability of me and Sancheng." ”

"What do you mean..."Guo Yu's words surprised Sha Zhou, he thought that Guo Yu just wanted to use himself and 10,000 prisoners of war as bargaining chips to negotiate peace with Qi State, but he didn't expect Guo Yu to be even more ruthless.

"I have sent someone to contact Che Tian, and he has agreed. Tonight, I will quietly release all the prisoners of war of the Qi army out of the Song army camp. ”

"What?!"

Sha Zhou became more and more shocked: "All? If you don't laugh anymore, or no matter how hidden, it's 10,000 people, how can they all go out. ”

Guo Yu waved his hand: "Don't worry, the guards around the camp have long been replaced by me as my own." When the time comes, I will set a fire in the barracks, and you will be able to escape while there is chaos.

At that time, as long as the Qi army kills it, the Song army will definitely be defeated. And General Sha, you are naturally considered to have made great contributions, and presumably the reward is indispensable. I just hope that General Sha won't forget my little brother when the time comes. ”

Looking at Guo Yu's smile, Sha Zhou suddenly felt that something was wrong, and then asked, "How do you know that General Che will definitely speak?" Not to mention that your Sancheng army made him suffer a great defeat under the Yumen Pass, and you yourself even took away the famous sword Lou Lan, which he regarded as a treasure. General Che has long hated you, so you are not afraid of him backsliding. ”

When Guo Yu heard this, he looked at Sha Zhou with a smile.

It was the first time he had seen such an honest man who thought about his enemies.

"You're right." Guo Yu nodded and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, I can only wronged General Sha." ”

"Huh?"

Seeing Guo Yu's increasingly bright smile, a bad premonition suddenly appeared in Sha Zhou's heart.

"Later you will go back and find a trustworthy man among the ten thousand and tell him of my plan. When he arrived, he took advantage of the fire in the military camp to lead the Qi army to escape. As for General Sha, you..."

Guo Yu grinned at Sha Zhou: "After General Sha finishes explaining, come back to me." If Che Tian goes back on his word, I don't mind showing General Sha another performance of my self-proclaimed swordsmanship. ”

"It's not... That one... I..."

Sha Zhou was remorseful, and at this time he couldn't wait to raise his hand and slap himself in the mouth. He wanted to struggle a little more, but he saw Guo Yu standing up with a smile.

"General Sha, don't do anything superfluous." Guo Yu's eyes narrowed slightly: "You must know that although the Song army in the camp is unwilling to listen to my orders, if I order to kill all the prisoners of war, I think these Song army armor soldiers who are holding back a bad breath will still be happy to accept it." ”

Guo Yu patted Sha Zhou on the shoulder, left a sentence of "see you later", and then left the military tent.

He had just gone out when the two armor soldiers who had brought Sha Zhou here earlier walked in.

"General Sha, please."

Sha Zhou sighed, hung his head and followed the armor back to the camp, found the previous commander, and after explaining the matter, he was taken away by the Song army again.

Now that people are swords and I am fish and meat, Sha Zhou can't resist, he can only pray that his general can keep the agreement.

However, Sha Zhou naturally didn't know that all this was just made up by Guo Yu.

……

After Guo Yu and Sha Zhou separated, they came to the big tent of the Chinese army.

He took a deep breath and lifted the curtain to enter.

When the generals of the armies who had already gathered in the tent saw Guo Yu coming, they stood up from their seats together and shouted in unison: "I have seen General Zhengnan!" ”

Amid the shouts of the crowd, Guo Yu walked to the handsome chair in the center and leaned down to sit down.

Guo Yu smiled: "Sit down." ”
