Chapter Ninety-Six: Dead
Since reaching a cooperation with Ouyang Han, Xiahou Jin has changed his previous diligence and ordered all the city defenses to be removed, and hid in the mansion all day long to relieve his sorrows in the midst of the boiling grievances of the people in the city.
Anyway, he has already been trampled on like a prostitute in a green house, and he is about to enter the Beijing Division as an official. Regarding Ouyang Han's saying that he was going to compete with Han Yu, he couldn't arouse the slightest interest.
For Xiahou Jin, who is depressed at the moment, as long as this Guazhou City is not broken, other things will have to be passed during his tenure, after all, the only wish for the rest of his life is to win the title of "Mrs. Fate" for the nurse Liang.
It's a pity that a single shot will definitely move the whole body, and the southern front, where the situation is already tense and dangerous, is no exception: as soon as Xiahou Jin withdrew from the garrison here, the southern battalion and the allied forces of various countries got the news.
Xu Feng, who had just returned to the camp for less than a few days, was anxiously worried, and was sitting in front of the handsome case and thinking about countermeasures.
"Fair! It's all at this time, what are you still hesitating about? ”
Meng Yi's face was already purple with anger, and he led the generals under the tent to ask Xu Feng for orders to fight, wanting to fight to the death with the thief army until he died.
"Hit?" Xu Feng frowned, looked at the generals, and asked with a stern expression, "How do you think you should fight?" Just like the others before, they were directly defeated and sent to the thief army together with Guazhou, the southern gateway of Daxu? ”
For Xu Feng's merciless criticism, Meng Yizhong was suddenly ashamed, blushing and bowing his head and being silent.
Feeling the oppressive and heavy atmosphere in the tent, Xu Feng also realized the inappropriateness of his words, and hurriedly relieved, "It is our duty as soldiers to sacrifice our lives for the country, but you should also think about it, in today's situation where the enemy is outnumbered, even if we fight desperately, can we defeat the enemy army?" ”
Everyone in the tent was speechless, and after a long time, Meng Yifang slowly opened his mouth, "Now the situation is all up to me, and I should bear the punishment with all my might!" But the matter has come to this point, and we must not bury the general's years of painstaking management here! ”
"How could I not have known that this was the brainchild of the great general?" Xu Feng replied worriedly, "Once the Nanda Battalion is defeated here, not only will the general's hard work be ruined, but our Daxu will inevitably be ruined." Now it is not only the life and death of our Nan Daying, but also the life and death of Da Xu! ”
"So we have to try our best to rescue the general back to the camp, only the general can save my southern camp!" Meng Yi arched his hand anxiously, and led all the generals behind him to ask Xu Feng for an order, "I am willing to enter the Beijing Division immediately to rescue the general!" ”
In the face of the emotions of the generals, Xu Feng showed bitterness and lamented, "How can Yuanshui save the near fire? When you rescue the general, I'm afraid that the daylilies will be cold! Moreover, the enemy did not dare to attack for a long time, all because of the general's previous strategy of 'besieging Wei to save Zhao', which had temporarily made them feel uneasy and look ahead! But once they find out that we are in chaos, they will inevitably rush up unscrupulously in an instant! ”
"Then what do you say!"
Although Meng Yi saw that Xu Feng's words were reasonable, but now when the crisis was at stake, when he heard him say that this would not work, it would not work, and he had already stomped his feet under the tent in a hurry.
"It's better to make peace!" Xu Feng blurted out without thinking, "I have already made contact with Feng Tai on the way back to the camp, and my southern battalion agreed to let the general stay in Beijing as a hostage, and he will mediate with the enemy on our behalf." ”
"What!"
Meng Yi and the others screamed in surprise on the spot, and immediately pointed at Xu Feng and scolded angrily.
In the midst of everyone's gossip and scolding, Meng Yi's voice was particularly loud, pointing at Xu Feng and scolding, "Do you know what you're doing?" ”
Xu Feng had already expected everyone's scolding, and replied calmly unmoved, "How can I not know? But what else can be done? ”
"Then you can't exchange the general's life and reputation for our peace!"
"That's right! We and other hot-blooded men are willing to live and die with the general! ”
"You shameless rat who is greedy for life and afraid of death, my Nanda Camp is not with you!"
In the midst of this shouting and scolding, several generals with strong temperaments had already drawn their swords and wanted to step forward and slash Xu Feng alive.
Seeing this situation, Meng Yi hurriedly blocked the front with an arrow step, shouted at the generals, and said sharply, "Stop it for me!" ”
After temporarily calming down the anger of the people, Meng Yi turned around with a solemn face and asked Xu Feng, "You have also seen - since the day my Nanda Camp was founded, there has not been a single person who is greedy for life and afraid of death!" Even if you do this, even if you temporarily relieve the siege, what you bring to the entire Nanda camp is a humiliation that can never be erased! ”
"Wen Qian......"
Xu Feng looked at the menacing Meng Yi and the others under the tent, did not speak for a long time, and suddenly raised his head with a complicated expression, as if he was making some kind of decision, and said after a long time, "The general ordered me to temporarily assume my duties and grant me the right to arbitrarily in the army, and now I have made up my mind - if Ruoer and others obstruct and intervene again, they will all be dealt with by military law!" ”
"Xu Fair ......"
Meng Yi still wanted to say something, but saw that Xu Feng had already drunk and ordered the soldiers to enter the account to send off the guests. I had to bite my back molars and stomp my feet, and withdrew from the tent with the angry generals.
After everyone left, Xu Feng immediately wrote a secret letter and sent someone to send a flying pigeon to Beijing; Another secret envoy infiltrated Guangyang City and interviewed Tian Tu, who was the commander of the Yue State this time.
After everything was arranged, Xu Fengfang stretched his stiff body, looked at the oil lamp flickering in front of the desk, and muttered to himself, "Success or failure depends on this......
However, on the side of the Jingshi, Xia Fan waited for many days, but he had already passed the deadline promised by Zhou Ning but did not reply for a long time, as for Feng Tai, it was even more like a stone sinking into the sea, and the resurgence of complaints in the army couldn't help but start to be anxious.
"And Lu Mo panic!" Xu Yun smiled and toasted the bowl of wine, and after drinking it all first, he said, "Isn't this all expected?" ”
Xia Fan glanced at Xu Yun angrily and took a perfunctory sip, "They are all deliberately delaying, but I can't wait!" ”
"Lin Xiong has already reached a consensus on cooperation with us, why worry?" Xu Yun leaned back indifferently, his eyebrows fluttering and outlining the grand blueprint in his heart, "Now whether it is Your Majesty, Feng Tai or Lin Xiong, no one dares to take the lead, otherwise they will be jointly exterminated by the other two parties, and this situation has become a dead end." So we have become a sweet and sweet in their eyes, and they are like a tiger with our help, so why not take this opportunity to maximize our interests? ”
"Unite with Lin Xiong, earn Your Majesty to return to Beijing, and eradicate Feng Tai, right?" Xia Fan sneered disdainfully, "But Your Majesty and Feng Tai are extremely calm!" There is no rush at all! ”
"The reason why they are so calm is that the time is not yet ripe, but they have not been idle for a moment these days." Xu Yuan stretched his body, looking particularly comfortable with a little drunkenness.
Xia Fan scoffed at this and said, "But if it drags on, my army's heart will be chaotic!" ”
"Then why can't you get the sergeants to find something else to do?" Xu Yuan took another sip of wine, and his face became even redder.
"For example?"
Xia Fan suddenly frowned, stared at Xu Yuan and asked.
"For example......" Xu Yuan burped and approached Xia Fan with a malicious smile, "The purpose of the brothers who want to enter the Beijing Division is nothing more than money and women, so isn't there a North County now?" ”
Xia Fan's eyes widened immediately, and he shouted, "Are you crazy?!" We haven't gotten to the point where we're tearing our faces with the court and Feng Tai! Once we do this kind of thing, we will be the first to be beaten! ”
"Shh Xu Yuan laughed and motioned to Xia Fan to be quieter, shook his body and leaned in front of him again, and said in a low voice, "What if you let the brothers disguise themselves as bandits?" This place has been plagued by bandits for many years! ”
"Still not right!" Xia Fan waved his hand and said, "The brothers have been holding back for a long time, if they are allowed to plunder, it will inevitably make things bigger!" How could the court not know that we had done it? ”
"Helu ......" Xu Yuan was not lightly drunk, and his eyes began to overlap, shaking his head desperately to stay awake, "Are you afraid of Lin Xiong's palace guards, or are you afraid of Feng Tai's Yulin Army?" ”
"Don't say one, even if these two join forces, I don't have to worry! It's just that what I want is not a temporary gain or loss, but to be able to stand on it for a long time in the future! Xia Fan said, pouring the wine from the bowl directly into his throat.
"Helu is really sober! What we are doing is for us to gain a foothold and open up hegemony, how can we let them lead the way? Xu Yuan was a little drunk, trying to stay sober, and explained, "Since the current situation has become a dead end, they are secretly preparing again!" Why don't we take them by surprise and break this deadlock for them first! ”
"Be clear!" Xia Fan suddenly sank his face and stared at Xu Yuan, who was drunk and red, "What if the imperial court sends them to join forces?" ”
"No, it won't!" Xu Yuan smiled with great confidence, "Although we are pretending to be rogues, everyone in the court knows in our hearts that we did it!" But in the current situation, we can only suffer a dumb loss, which will make Your Majesty and Feng Tai start to get nervous, so that they will reply to us! ”
"Hanzhou Taishou!"
Xia Fan raised his head, he had been thinking about this position for a long time, and he never forgot it. Now that Xu Yuan said this, he felt that this position seemed to be close at hand and within reach.
I couldn't help but start to be overjoyed in my heart, especially when I thought that I could use this to force the court to kill Han Xiaozhi, I couldn't hold back the excitement in my heart, my eyes suddenly lit up, and I immediately remembered something, and hurriedly asked Xu Yuan, "You said that I was allowed to see the princess in five days, how many days have passed...... What about people! ”
As soon as the words fell, he heard a snoring sound, Xia Fan looked back suspiciously, but saw that Xu Yuan had already fallen drunk to the ground and fell asleep......
