In this way, starting from the Shao Mansion, coupled with the heavy profits promised by the imperial court, the merchants in Jiangnan took out money to donate, and soon they had enough food and salary. And Gao Wei is in full swing with Xiou, and it is inextricable. The forward battalion led by Li Hongyi passed five levels and killed six generals all the way, leaving behind a bloody storm.

When more than half of the lost territory was recovered, the Turks, who had been holding their ground, suddenly moved.

Originally, Jiang Jiamin and Dong Qiming were ordered to go to the Turks to delay with them. The Turks may have sensed that this was a delaying tactic, but they did not expose it. After all, the Turks are also watching the fire from the other side, paying close attention to the war situation in the northwest, and wanting to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

It was safe and sound for a month, but for some reason, the Turks suddenly seized the mission and attacked Jingzhou in the south, and the troops approached Chang'an. Seeing this, Gao Wei dared to abandon the capital, and immediately reported to the imperial court, and privately dispatched troops to prepare to support the north. However, in this way, the good form of the Northwest was reversed in an instant.

"Negotiate and negotiate peace, this is the result of peace? Shao Xiang, we implemented a plan to delay the army, but they were secretly crossing Chen Cang and unexpectedly took our army. The generals were completely enraged and sprinkled all the evil fire on Shao An, who was the lord and the peace.

"If it weren't for the villain's words, we would have already sent troops to the north, how could the Turks hit Jingzhou so easily?"

"The soldiers are already coming to the city, so I hope that the saint will make a decision and send troops to meet the battle."

Sun Yi said angrily: "How can you blame Shao Xiang, it is because the Turks did not keep their promises and detained the envoys. ”

"Hmph. Turkic barbarians, where can they be credited? It would be a mistake to make peace with them. ”

"When the big war comes, you still have to fight?" The emperor also said angrily, "The military department is still the book, you say." ”

"Gao Shuai sent an urgent report of 800 miles, requesting that the troops be divided into two routes and send 50,000 people to support the northern border. It's just that in this way, the northwest may only be able to maintain defense, and the north will not be able to fight against it. Zhao Wei proposed, "Your Majesty, why don't you transfer the forbidden army and the Huguangxiang army again to support Jingzhou?" ”

The emperor was upset, turned his head to look at the prime minister at the head of the city, and saw that Shao An was just listening silently, frowning and studying the map of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and he didn't make a sound.

The emperor asked, "What does the prime minister think?" ”

"Minister, I still advocate peace." Shao An said, "Do they want to occupy Chang'an with only a hundred thousand horses?" Obviously, this is a plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao. Presumably, the war in the northwest was tight, and Xiou couldn't hold on, so he promised to use the Turks to make heavy profits and let him besiege Chang'an. ”

General Guide said angrily: "The prime minister thinks that I can't see that this is Wei Wei to save Zhao?" But what can be done, is it possible to abandon Chang'an and protect the northwest? ”

Shao An knelt down, "The Turks are just trying to grab some gold and silver treasures, Xiou can give them, we ...... I can give it, too. ”

"How can you get such humiliation?" General Guide couldn't agree, and knelt on the ground and complained bitterly, "Your Majesty, the last general would rather die in battle than be insulted by this." ”

"Your Majesty, our country's military strength is not as weak as the prime minister thinks, and it is completely possible to fight to the death with the Turks." Song Qi knelt down and petitioned slowly, "The last general is willing to lead the troops again and make a military order, which is not suitable for the emperor's disposal." ”

The emperor motioned to the ministers to calm down, and persuaded with a smile: "I know that the old general is loyal, but there are many talents in the court, how can I let the old general go to the battlefield again?" ”

General Song felt uncomfortable when he heard this, and his mind was full of Xin Qiji's sentence, "Who asks, Lian Po is old, can he still eat?" Song Qi's cloudy old eyes glared angrily at Shao An in the front row, and he took it for granted that he was slandering with the emperor, saying that he was old and useless.

Shao An naturally couldn't see General Song's resentful eyes, and he said: "If we pour the strength of the whole country into a battle, we may not lose." If you can endure for a while, when the national strength is strong in the future, you will win the war again. ”

"Fight now, and we will win! The last general is willing to make a military order, not to repel the enemy, and vow not to return to the court! ”

"Alright." The emperor waved his hand to stop the argument among the ministers, and said, "I have decided to endure humiliation and bear the burden in order to seek the transformation of national strength. Shao An, this peace negotiation is very important, who to send? ”

Shao An asked, "If the emperor doesn't give up, the minister is willing to give it a try." ”

The emperor waited for his words, and immediately agreed, allowing him to choose his entourage and granting him the privilege of "arbitrariness on the spot".

Shao An was ordered, but he also put forward several requirements: first, let Gao Wei continue to deal with Xiou and not stop fighting. Second, Gao Wei only needs to send 20,000 horses to support the northern border. Third, order the Huguangxiang army to go north to support.

Above, the emperor played all the time.

Two days later, the delegation headed by Shao An set off in a majestic manner, and Ni Hongyu followed as a deputy envoy. In addition, the emperor sent Zhang San and other hidden guards to secretly protect it, just in case.

※※※※※

Gao Wei received the holy order, and it was not difficult for each battalion to mobilize some soldiers and horses, and gather 20,000. The choice of the leading general made him think about it for a long time, and finally decided that Song Yi would be the main general and Li Hongyi would be the deputy general, and he would lead his troops to the north.

Li Hongyi was ordered to go to the most difficult battlefield. The younger brother Li Honghui was anxious and resolutely said: "General Li, the last general asks to accompany you." ”

"No way!" Li Hongyi vetoed, "You follow Xu Lei, stay here, and don't move." ”

"Brother, you have injuries on your body, I don't worry about you." Li Honghui was so anxious that he even changed his name.

Li Hongyi smiled, "It's okay, it's just a small injury." ”

"Even that's a minor injury, I don't know what a serious injury is." Li Honghui pursed his lips, thinking that the enemy soldier pierced Hongyi's shoulder blade with a shot that day, and the blood gushed out like a spring, and he couldn't stop it. Until now, my brother's left arm is not able to move freely.

Li Hongyi stretched out his left arm and said indifferently: "I think it's already good." ”

"Where's the good? Big brother, don't take your body seriously, don't recuperate now, and the days of suffering are ahead. ”

Li Hongyi raised his hand to give him a popping chestnut, "Boy, I want you to take care of it?" Stay and hear? ”

At this moment, Xu Lei entered the tent, and he heard the dispute between their brothers outside the tent, so he followed and persuaded: "Let Li Honghui follow, so that there is a response." If you don't comply, I'll tell Gao Shuai that you're injured and that it's not appropriate for you to go on the expedition. ”

Li Hongyi stopped Xu Lei, "I've convinced you, just follow me." Hao Jun, when I am away, you take good care of the forward battalion for me. ”

Seeing that the plan succeeded, Xu Leiwaner, "Yes." The last general commands! ”

Before the army left, Gao Wei told Song Yiqian to only hold on and not meet the enemy. Then he looked at Li Hongyi, who was accompanying him, and saw that he was really following Li Honghui, and he was a lot more relieved, and he nodded from Li Honghui, who was sitting on the horse, leaning forward slightly, bowing his head and bowing in return.

With the horns sounding in unison, the gale gusting and the wind and dust rolling up, Li Hongyi faced the scorching sun and yellow sand and walked towards the ethereal future. At that time, he did not know that what he would encounter in front of him was not only the smoke and flames of war, but also the brothers and best friends who fought side by side in the past.

The gears of fate have slowly turned, and the wind and clouds will meet.

Song Yi's army arrived in Jingzhou before the mission, and faced the Turks from a distance, and the stalemate lasted for several days, just waiting for the prime minister and his party to enter the enemy camp to negotiate. On this day, hearing the news that Shao Xiang was coming, Song Yi hurriedly led the senior generals out of the camp to greet him.

When the mission arrived in Jingzhou, they saw rolling dust in the distance, and the sound of horses' hooves was endless. Shao An raised his eyes, and at first glance, he saw his brother who was haunted by his dreams, as in previous years, holding a silver spear and riding a majestic horse.

When the group of people came to the mission, they dismounted neatly, and knelt on one knee in unison, Shao Anxin trembled, and hurriedly stepped forward to let the generals get up.

Song Yi said politely: "The end will be late, and the prime minister will forgive his sins." ”

Shao An smiled faintly: "It doesn't matter, the general has worked the border." ”

Song Yi once heard his father Song Qi say that Shao Xiang was difficult. Now when I saw him, I didn't expect him to speak so easily, and I was stunned, and I didn't know how to speak. But Shao An didn't notice General Song's embarrassment, he looked at the accompanying generals quietly, and all his faces were very angry, except for Li Hongyi.

And Li Hongyi was mixed in the crowd, looking at Shao An generously, with a kind smile on his face. In his few memories, this is the third time he has seen Shao An, but he feels like he has met an old man.

"The stakes are very high in this peace meeting, and I don't know if the general has chosen a general to lead the escort." Ni Hongyu was concerned about the errand and asked busily.

"Of course. These generals have experienced a hundred battles and are strong in martial arts. Then he introduced the names and official positions of the generals to each of them.

With Song Yi's introduction, Shao An's gaze slowly slid over the generals, and finally fell on Li Hongyi. He raised his hand, interrupted Song Yi's follow-up words, and looked at his brother and smiled softly, "Then I will bother General Li." ”

"What? It's me! Suddenly being selected, Li Hongyi was surprised and delighted, and he couldn't react for a while, until the military generals around him stepped on him, and then he remembered to say something decent, "Ah? Oh! Xie, Xie Chengxiang. Kindness...... The last general and the last general must protect the safety of the prime minister. ”

Seeing his brother's stupid appearance again, Shao An couldn't help but upturn the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help but think back to the past, and his brother wouldn't have said anything at that time. Unexpectedly, after so many years, he still hasn't grown at all. However, if he can really make progress, Li Hongyi will not be Li Hongyi.

Song Yi was afraid that Li Hongyi would provoke Shao Xiang, so he hurriedly changed the topic and greeted warmly: "Presumably after a long journey, you adults are also tired, it is better for everyone to enter the camp early to rest, and it is not too late to talk about business tomorrow." The last general has cleaned up a few private houses, prepared a little coarse tea and light rice, and the conditions are poor during the war, and the prime minister is not strange. ”

Shao An raised the corners of his eyes slightly, and looked at Song Yi playfully, so exquisite, more than his father Song Qi knew how to behave. There is such a big difference between father and son, I don't know if Song Qi has become stubborn due to old age, or if he is conservative by nature and does not know how to be flexible.

Facing the unruly Li Hongyi, Song Yizhen didn't know where to teach him. It's not good for so many generals to pick anyone, I really don't understand how Shao An could fall in love with such a big grin? The dangers in negotiations are not as hidden in the shadows, as they are in war. The so-called open guns are easy to dodge, and hidden arrows are difficult to defend, that's the reason.

But will Li Hongyi meet with Wei Zhizhi? Do you know how to read words? Will it be prevented? Song Yi pressed his aching temples, in such a short period of time, how could a person who could only fight and kill give birth to a seven-trick exquisite heart?

Don't say a few days, even if you give it a hundred years, Li Hongyi won't be able to understand the seven tricks. Fortunately, Li Honghui suddenly looked for him and asked to go with his brother, and Song Yi immediately agreed, after all, there was a clever younger brother on the side, and Li Hongyi would not be confused.

Three days later, the mission was ready to set off for the enemy camp.
