The day before the battle of Fanhe City, the forest trail in the north of Zaoyang County, where there were few people, was accompanied by three horsemen. The wind swayed, and one of the three riders suddenly stopped. Immediately, he leaned to one side, hung his head and retched for a moment, and then raised his eyes forward, and saw that the first rider was looking over, and tears immediately slipped from the corners of his eyes.

"Good decent, what are you crying about?" The knight frowned and asked. His skin was white and delicate, and his throat and beard were light. Dressed in a long gown woven of jade-colored cloth and silk, with wide sleeves and soap edges, and a white horse under the crotch, it is quite elegant and elegant.

"Fu, Fu foreign envoy, villain, villain is afraid of ......"

The head knight's eyes drooped, and he thought for a moment: "This time to Zaoyang County, although it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, you don't have to be overly worried." He continued, "We will negotiate for the sake of public affairs and not personal affairs. Even if they disagree with our battalion, they will not be angry with us. Besides, the person who represents Zhao Ying is my Fu Xunyu and not the two of you. The two of you are only accompanying you, and even if the final situation is unpredictable, the axe should only add me alone. ”

After spending the night in the camp of the Feijie Battalion, when the sky was dark this morning, Fu Xunyu and two foreign pedestrians set off. Their destination was the northern suburbs of the county seat, and according to the information provided by Han Gon, there were many rogue camp leaders stationed there, including the "Zuojin King" He Jin, the "King of the Troubled Times" Lin Yangcheng, the "Shooting the Sky" Li Wanqing, and the "King of the World" Liu Xiyao. Before leaving the Zhao camp, Fu Xunyu specially selected two bold entourages among his foreign affairs personnel. However, they are all children of good families, and they are used to following the rules and lack of experience, and when it comes to the matter, they are still inevitably afraid of gaffes.

"Yes...... Subordinate, subordinate knows wrong. The young foreign worker wiped away his tears and apologized with red eyes.

Fu Xunyu looked at him and sighed in his heart. Although he comforted his entourage and himself with the words "the two countries are fighting each other, and they will not be killed", how can he be reasonable when he goes to the thief's cave and the thief is obedient and tyrannical. Thinking about it like this, I was also worried, but now, there is no way back, and when I think about it, all I can do is to do my best to obey the destiny of God, and the pressure suddenly disappears.

"When you get there, you two must remember that without my orders, you can't say more than half a word or do the slightest superfluous action." The sun was not big, and the forest was a little shady, but Fu Xunyu's mouth was dry at this time.

The three rode out of the forest, and the vision was wide open. Looking at the sky, the city wall of Zaoyang County can be seen in the distance, and countless milky yellow military tents that have been exposed by the wind and rain have been spread from the root of the wall to the periphery until the end of the eyesight. All kinds of bears and tigers stand in the camp, waving and waving. From time to time, soldiers and horses patrolled the process, and the soldiers were smuggling, from the head of the city to the inside and outside of the barracks, with a solemn and murderous atmosphere.

Fu Xunyu and the three of them pressed the reins, and after a while, they were detected in the camp, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten horsemen were wrapped in smoke and dust approaching, and the first knight phoenix helmet and armor saw Fu Xunyu dressed elegantly, so he put away the sheath waist knife, raised the whip and asked: "Who is coming?" ”

"In Xia Fu Xunyu, he came from the north, and he had something important to look for King Zuojin."

"King Zuojin?" The phoenix-helmeted knight was stunned for a moment, and then grinned, "You are the king of Zuo Jin, his old man is a maid who accompanies wine in the green building, no matter what kind of idle people say that pastime will not be able to do it?" ”

Fu Xunyu said bluntly: "King Zuo Jin is not here, I am afraid that my life is at risk." ”

The phoenix-helmeted knight laughed loudly, and howled like a wolf: "You stinky old nine, you are the most." King Zuo Jin holds a male soldier in his hand, and there are people in this world who can hurt his life, and he can be counted with one hand, but he has never heard of any surname Fu among them. The conversation changed, "Grandpa is in a good mood today, don't worry about you, get out of the way quickly, if you make any more noise, don't blame grandpa for killing." ”

A threatening sentence came out, Fu Xunyu saw that the two foreign affairs pedestrians on the left and right were already trembling in fright immediately, he coughed lightly, beckoned back, and said, "Take the things." ”

One of the pedestrians was stunned, and then agreed, and when he dismounted, he was so nervous that his left foot hooked in the horse's pedal and almost fell into the mud. When the knight of the phoenix helmet and the soldiers on the opposite side saw it, they all laughed loudly and unscrupulously. The foreign affairs pedestrian's face turned red, and he shook his hand to untie a long package hanging next to the horse's belly, and carefully sent it to Fu Xunyu's horse, but Fu Xunyu stretched out his hand and said, "Give it to the military master." ”

When the foreign minister heard this, his face frowned, and he almost cried, Fu Xunyu changed his gentle face in the past, and said solemnly: "Take it!" ”

"Yes......" The foreign traveler did not dare to disobey, and stubbornly held the long package, trembling and walking towards the knight of the phoenix helmet.

When he arrived, the knight of the phoenix helmet deliberately clamped the horse's belly, provoked his mount to shake his head and snort, and instantly startled the foreign pedestrian, who hurriedly took a few steps back, and almost fell.

"Hahahaha!"

In the laughter of the rogues, the foreign pedestrian, who was embarrassed, finally handed the long package to the knight of the phoenix helmet, who was curious, but no longer embarrassed him, he turned around and ran back, and opened the package by himself. After only dismantling it a little, he saw that the phoenix helmet knight had a heavy expression, but he did not continue to dismantle it, but rewrapped the package tightly.

"Where did you get this?"

Fu Xunyu immediately arched his hand and said: "King Zuojin gave it away." ”

The phoenix-helmeted knight asked again: "Gift?" You said you came from the north, don't you ......?"

Fu Xunyu didn't wait for him to finish, and then arched his hand and said: "Please ask the military master to pass the word on your behalf, just say that King Zuo Jin is asking to see him." ”

The phoenix-helmeted knight put away his playful smile at this time, looked at Fu Xunyu carefully with his eyes, didn't make a sound, pulled the reins, turned his horse and led the crowd away, and it didn't take long for him to disappear into the vast army tent.

When the two foreign affairs pedestrians saw him leaving, they were shocked and worried: "Foreign Envoy Fu, he is ......"

Fu Xunyu looked forward and said, "As soon as this thing comes out, King Zuojin will not see us for no reason." ”

The two foreign affairs pedestrians were suspicious, and waited in place with Fu Xunyu with a nervous heart. When he was young, the phoenix-helmeted knight led his troops back, but he didn't have the long package in his hand, and he heard him raise his horse and raise his hooves and say loudly: "King Zuojin invites the three of them to enter the camp to talk to each other." "Let's go back. Fu Xunyu did not hesitate, patted the horse to follow, and the two foreign affairs pedestrians could only hurriedly climb on the horse's back.

After running for a while, as soon as he approached the camp, the phoenix helmet knight stood with his right hand, rushed out of nowhere, and grabbed the horses of Fu Xunyu and the others. The two foreign pedestrians were in shock, their eyes had already been blindfolded with a black cloth, and at the same time, the rough voice of the knight with the phoenix helmet came again: "The rules have always been in the camp, forgive me." Then each of them led the three horses slowly.

After walking for a while, the horse's hooves stopped, and the three of them were helped down one after another, and after their feet hit the ground, the black cloth was untied. The knight of the phoenix helmet opened the tent in front of him and said, "Please come inside." ”

Fu Xunyu nodded and said, "Thank you for leading the way." Turning back to the two outsiders, "You two don't need to go inside, just wait outside the tent." ”

Judging from today's performance, these two people really can't get on the stage. What to do after entering the account is the most important thing of this trip, Fu Xunyu is worried that the two of them will have an unbearable attitude in the account, which will not only affect him, but also discredit Zhao Ying, so he ordered. The two foreign servants nodded like pounded garlic, their steps stiffened, and they stood by the tent door with their hands tied. Fu Xunyu adjusted his breathing slightly, shook his long sleeves, held his head high, and strode into the tent.

The light in the tent was dim, but Fu Xunyu could still clearly see that on the top tiger skin chair, a big man was sitting on it. The man had a triangular face, a pair of squinting eyes, and looked quite cunning, Fu Xunyu's footsteps slowed down, thought for a while, and then stepped forward, bowed and saluted: "Under Fu Xunyu, I have seen King Zuojin." ”

"This man claims to be your old man, do you know him?" The knight of the phoenix helmet came from behind with a big grin, and dragged a bench at random to the side of the man above.

The man above looked at Fu Xunyu carefully, shook his head and said, "I don't recognize it." ”

Fu Xunyu said: "It's not that there is an old relationship with King Zuo Jin, but that the owner of the knife has an old relationship with King Zuo Jin." As he spoke, he said, "King Zuojin once said that seeing a knife is like seeing a person. Who did you give this knife to in the first place, have you forgotten? ”

The man above and the man in the phoenix helmet glanced at each other, and replied, "Are you from Zhao Dangshi?" ”

Fu Xunyu arched his hand high in the direction of Zhao Ying in the northeast, and said in a loud voice: "I am here to see King Zuojin on the order of the lord!" And asked, "The two are the king of Zuojin, and ......?"

The man on the top leaned back in the chair, tilted his head towards the man in the phoenix helmet, and said, "I am the king of Zuojin." This is the one who shot the sky. Zhao Dangshi betrayed his treachery and gave up his righteous army to join the official army. The official and the thief are not separated, he sent you, is it because you are uncomfortable as an official, and you want to ask for a name from me, and fall into the grass again? He smiled at the knight with the phoenix helmet.

Fu Xunyu laughed a few times, his face changed sharply, and he said in a loud voice: "On the contrary, my lord hopes that King Zuo Jin will abandon the darkness and turn to the light!" ”

The man above muttered disdainfully: "Abandon the darkness and turn to the light? "Again," I thought that as soon as the surname Zhao became an official soldier, he would become a phoenix like a pheasant, and he would soar from then on. But now it seems that this may not be the case. ”

At this time, the knight of the phoenix helmet interjected: "Yes, I heard that the Zhao camp has been repeatedly defeated in the north and returned to the camp recently, and in the south, he has pulled out the walled city for my Cao Ying, and there is almost no resistance. This kind of cowardice, and the face to ask us to 'abandon the darkness and turn to the light', is ridiculous! I'm afraid that I have nothing to do, and I want to take advantage of us! ”

After the two sang and finished speaking, their eyes went straight to Fu Xunyu. Fu Xunyu's face did not change, and replied: "As a general, he never counts the gains and losses of a city or a place. This sentence originated from the views expressed by Zhao Dangshi at a military conference, and it is also a widely circulated sentence of Zhao Ying, which is borrowed at this time, "What the two of them focus on is really the most insignificant." The two of them only saw a little bit of small profit in front of them, but they ignored the three virtues of bravery, wisdom and faith. With the help of these three virtues, my Zhao Ying will undoubtedly win! ”

The phoenix helmet knight smiled: "Zhao Dangshi has three virtues? Haha, I would like Mr. Wen to talk about it. ”

Fu Xunyu said: "The second battalion of Hui and Cao has tens of thousands of soldiers, and there are only two soldiers and horses, not to mention nearly 10,000 people. And my lord dared to return to the camp in the north and reject the Cao camp in the south without half a point of retreat, just ask if this move can be called 'brave'? "Continued," and the two of you don't know, whether it is Huyang Town, Qingtan or Chungling Zhucheng, they are just chess pieces for my Zhao Ying. Sacrificing chess to save life, not being obsessed with one domain, and looking at the overall situation is the right way. It is irrelevant whether the two believe it or not, three days at most, and the fastest day, there will be news of our battalion's victory in the north! This is the 'wisdom' virtue of my lord. Finally, he said, "In addition, my lord has already sent someone to contact the two of them before, promising to seek official status for the two of them and enjoy wealth and prosperity together." Even though the two sides have now met each other, my head of the family has always done what he says, and he still never gave up the opportunity to work side by side with the two. The two of them think that this righteous act is not the word 'faith'? ”

The knight of the phoenix helmet was silent when he heard this, and the man above shouted: "This is all your empty mouth and white teeth, what 'my Zhao Ying will undoubtedly win', you are blowing nonsense, we have to follow you around?" ”

"Definitely!" Fu Xunyu shook out the sleeves that had been behind him and stood proudly, "When I come here, I am not for my Zhao Ying, but for the sake of the two of you." If you still can't see through the situation, you may be in danger of raspberries! ”
