On the fifth day of the seventh month, the troops were assembled, and the Northern Expeditionary Army of 120,000 suppressed the 50,000 male Jia army within the sixteen states of Yanyun.

He gave up the mobile battle plan of letting Yan Zhan Shiya and Wanyan Trout in the area of Fanyang, and prepared to retreat to Yanyun and trap the beast fight, he said that when it was the most dangerous, his people would burst out with god-like combat power, and every male Jia Han was a warrior favored by God.

"I have always believed that I am the most wise and martial male king after the ancestor king, I led my people from the grassland to the Central Plains, occupied the sixteen states of Yanyun, and occupied the land of Hebei. If it weren't for the rebellion of the Fuyu people at the beginning, we would have overthrown Daliang with the Sangla people and shared China. ”

He closed his eyes and recuperated himself, but he read words.

The big trout beside him was silent.

There are also a few old ministers sitting next to the male Jia king, they were originally the pillars of the male Jia country, but they were later confiscated by the male Jia king, and they didn't have much strength to speak, and over time, they were reluctant to speak.

"I don't think we can defend it like this, King, we might as well give up the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and return to the grassland." A gray-bearded **** said.

"Ariza, if you had said this ten years ago, it would have been too late, but now, where is our grassland?" Wanyan Trout was very dissatisfied with Ariza's words, and continued: "Now, with the Great Wall of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, we will have a final battle with the Han people, and they will not be able to defeat us. ”

"Huh." Ariza chuckled: "The Great Wall was originally used by the Han people to defend against the Hu people, the purpose was to block the Hu people's cavalry south, and now our advantage is cavalry, but instead use the Great Wall to block the Han people's infantry, it's really funny." ”

Wanyan Trout said angrily: "Ariza, I think you want to surrender!" ”

"Surrender?" Ariza stood up angrily and said, "When I, Ariza led the troops, I only thought about dying in battle, not about surrendering. In this battle, as the coach, how many right decisions have you made? ”

Ariza turned her head to look at the male Jia King and roared, "Wanyan Trout is the sinner of our male Jia people! ”

"Alright." Wan Yan Qiankun waved his hand and signaled everyone to stop arguing.

But the people below didn't listen to him at all, and continued to quarrel there, arguing for a long time, but they couldn't come up with a reason, and the male king got annoyed and left the table.

Back in the apse, he summoned Wanyan Da Trout, Ariza, and Yan Zhan Shiya together, and said with relief: "You are all the ministers of this king, and the quarrel above the hall is also for the sake of the male Jia country, I don't blame you." But arguing won't solve the problem. Let's talk calmly now about what to do next. ”

The crowd was silent.

Nan Jia Wang continued: "I think, in fact, you still have two paths to choose. First, you take the men to the north, where there is a vast steppe, and I write a letter to the king of Xinwaihan, asking you to take your people to him, and I think he will take you in; Second, you surrender to the Liang Dynasty, and the Liang Dynasty has always had the saying of 'not killing Xiang', and it should be able to take you in. ”

"What about the king?" Ariza asked.

"Me?" The male Jia Wang smiled bitterly: "I don't have so many ways to choose, because I am the king, I have to fight, and in the end, the troops are gone, and I want to go to the battlefield in person." Even if I die, I will die like a king. We can't disgrace our male kings, ancestors, and ancestors. ”

——

"Report, the male envoy said that he will only accept peace talks, not surrender." Surrender the messenger returns.

"Then what else is there to say, three days later, the three fronts will attack at the same time, and strive to sweep away the male Jia before August." Northern Expedition coach Huo Zizhen said.

After giving this order, the scouts ran out one after another, rushing to the various camps.

At this time, there were three extraordinarily stout war horses, galloping to Luoyang, these three scouts were the most elite scouts under Huo Zizhen, and he held a letter in his hand, which was given to the Queen Mother.

But as soon as the man left, several war horses flew out behind him at the same time and followed him.

The horses did not follow very closely at first, but after a day, they began to exert their strength, and on the way they had prepared the horses to be transferred, and they pursued them closely, passing one post after another.

Finally, near Zhengzhou, a group of people came out and crossed the road.

The military newspaper scout said angrily: "Are you blind? The military newspaper also dares to stop it? ”

"Hehe, if it weren't for the military scouts, we wouldn't stop it." A masked man, who said a word of compassion, suddenly pulled out the long sword in his hand.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the three scouts stayed behind, and the other two rode away, but they did not think that countless arrows flew from all directions, shooting them on the spot.

The sword-wielder jumped up, jumped onto the horse, grabbed the scout by the neck and said, "I guess, it must be a message, Huo Zizhen will never leave a text handle in your hands, right?" ”

"No, I have written letterhead here, and if you're willing to spare me, I can tell you the text code." The scout was horrified.

"Hehe, show it to me."

"Will you let me go?" The scout's cunning eyes swept over the letter, and he felt that the other party would not believe it and would not let him go, but he still asked this question, and he seemed to be afraid.

"Yes, of course." The swordsman sneered.

The scout handed the letter to the masked swordsman.

The swordsman took the letter, and without even looking at it, handed it to a blue-robed masked man behind him, who opened his heart and glanced at it, and said, "This is fake." ”

"No, it's true, it's true!" Scout said.

The blue-robed masked man said: "Yes, it's true that it's just about war strategy, but this letter is just a trick, and it can never be the true message you want to convey." It seems that you kid is very cunning, and if you don't use some means, you won't say it. ”

The scout was then taken away by the masked men.

The gang didn't seem to be afraid of being recognized, and went to a secret place and took off their masks.

The swordsman is Ji Yifa, the swordsman of the Meng family, and the man who read the letter is Meng Yang's younger brother Meng Yin, who is seven years old Chinese New Year's Eve this year.

He is not good at military politics, and he does not have regular military power in his hands, and his strength is espionage.

In the spy network of the Meng clan gate, he is the central mediator, and the information he knows is by no means less than that of the patriarch Meng Danqing, in a sense, he sometimes even selectively tells Meng Danqing information.

"Fortunately, we came in time, otherwise let your kid run over, and Huo Zizhen and the Queen Mother's plan would have succeeded." Meng Yin sneered and said, "Not only have we suspected Huo Zizhen for a long time, but we have also inquired about the details of you dead scouts. ”

Meng Yin had a pair of long eyes, treacherous and cunning, staring at the scout and said, "The names of the three of you are Li Hao, Fu Han, and Chu Changqing, right?" So which one are you? Is it Li Hao, who has two illegitimate children, or Fu Han, who conceals his family situation, or Chu Changqing, whose parents are still alive? ”。

Hearing this, the scout was terrified and hurriedly begged for mercy: "I say, I will say everything, please let me go." ”

"Okay, okay, okay, don't worry, speak slowly, hahaha. As long as you cooperate, I will not only let you go, but also ensure that you will be prosperous and rich in the future. It's just a little bit of money, and it's a drop in the bucket for our Meng gate valve. ”
