Northwest, endless grasslands.

More than ten fast horses galloped on the grassland, behind them, hundreds of light horses were in hot pursuit, and several strong men with bows on their backs were about to take bows, and a woman waved her hand and said, "The Great Khan said, all of them are alive." ”

When several people heard this, they put down their bows and arrows one after another.

A mile away, among more than ten people, a young general urged him forward, looked at Xiao Jue, and said, "General, you go first, let's stay and break the ......."

"After the break, just a few of you, how many breaths can you stop them?" Xiao Jue stuck to the horse and said, "Run separately, how many can you run, count as many ......"

"General!"

"It's an order!"

……

The young general looked at Xiao Jue with a solemn face, and turned around and said, "The general has an order, everyone runs separately!" ”

The pursuers in the rear were approaching, and when more than a dozen cavalrymen heard this, they turned their horses' heads and fled in different directions.

Half a day ago, their team of 500 people happened to encounter a large battalion of steppe cavalry, and all of the 500 people were captured alive except for a dozen of them who broke through the encirclement.

They were lucky enough to escape, but they were about to be overtaken.

In the rear, among the pursuers, one of them said loudly: "They fled separately, and they went separately to chase!" ”

Seeing this, the woman with the bow on her back took off the bow and arrow behind her back, and shot an arrow with her bow.

Shout!

The horse under Xiao Jue neighed and fell to the ground, Xiao Jue fell from the horse and rolled to the grass, and when he looked up, there was already a figure in front of him.

The woman pointed arrows at him and said in a non-standard Chinese dialect, "Surrender." ”

Xiao Jue got up from the ground, and several people had already rushed forward and grabbed him.

Although more than ten knights escaped separately, they did not escape the fate of being captured alive after all, and after a while, they were captured one by one, sitting on their horses with a big tie, and a team of hundreds of people slowly went deeper into the grassland.

A grassland man said: "The Han people have killed so many of us, and these people have captured our compatriots, so just kill them......

The woman with the bow looked at him and asked, "Do you want to disobey the orders of the fourth princess?" ”

The man's face was entangled, he lowered his head and hugged his fists and said, "My subordinates don't dare." ”

After a while, he raised his head and asked again: "The fourth princess wants the Han people to coexist peacefully with us, how is this possible, the eldest prince will not agree, the third prince will not agree, and the khan will not agree, if this continues, the khan will take back her clan ......"

"You don't have to worry about this, the fourth princess does things, and it's not our turn to teach." The woman with the bow said lightly, and the man never said a word again.

The group continued to go deeper, and not long after, the ground under their feet suddenly shook slightly.

They looked up and saw a black line in front of them, and a cavalry contingent of thousands of men was galloping towards this side.

The man looked at the flag at the front and said, "It's the eldest prince's man!" ”

The cavalry stopped dozens of feet away from them, and a muscular man drove his horse forward and laughed: "It turned out to be the commander of Ah Yue, and the Han general was captured by you?" ”

The woman with the bow said, "Yes, Butai, you are late, he is now our prisoner." ”

The man named Butai waved his hand and said, "We have been looking for them for three whole days, how did they become your captives?" ”

The woman with the bow said: "Whoever catches it is whoever, this is the rule." ”

"The rules should also be first-come, first-served." The man looked at her and said, "The eldest prince said that this man has captured too many of our compatriots, and ordered me to arrest him, send him to the Khan's tent, and execute him in public to improve the morale of our army, and then cut off his head and send it to Chen Guo for them to see...... you dare to disobey the order of the eldest prince?" ”

The woman with the bow on her back was neither humble nor arrogant: "Capturing them alive is also the order of the fourth princess, do you dare to disobey?" ”

The man looked at him and said, "This is the order of the eldest prince, Commander Ah Yue still don't embarrass us." ”

As his words fell, the thousands of cavalry behind him took a few steps forward, and the faces of the people behind the bowed woman suddenly changed.

Five hundred against thousands, they have no chance of winning.

The woman with the bow looked at him, and after a moment, gritted her teeth and said, "Give them people." ”

The person behind him breathed a sigh of relief and immediately pushed Xiao Jue out.

"Thank you." The man on the opposite side arched his hand to him and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go back!" ”

Seeing that those cavalrymen had taken people and turned back, a man beside the woman with the bow on his back said angrily: "The eldest prince's people are too bullying, and we obviously caught them!" ”

The woman with the bow glanced at him and asked, "Why didn't you say it just now?" ”

The man retracted his head and asked, "Commander, what are we going to do next?" ”

The woman with the bow shook the reins of her horse and said, "Go back and report to the princess." ”

……

Deep in the grassland, in a tent in a grassland somewhere in the Wanyan Department.

Wan Yan Yan looked at the woman with the bow on her back and asked, "What about people?" ”

The woman with the bow shook her head and said, "We captured five hundred people and some generals, and their generals were taken away by the people of the eldest prince. ”

Wan Yan Yan frowned and said, "The eldest prince? ”

"Butai personally took the man and took the man away." The woman with the bow on his back said: "He said that the eldest prince will publicly execute the general of Chen Guo to improve the morale of our army, and then send his head to Chen Guo for them to see......"

Wan Yanyan's face changed slightly, and she said: "In this way, the enmity between us and Chen Guo will only be deeper, isn't there even more possibility of peace?" ”

The woman looked at her and said, "Shall we go and see?" ”

Wan Yanyan nodded and said, "Go and see, if you can stop it, you must stop them......"

……

Chen Guo, Shengzhou.

Fengzhou and Shengzhou are very close to the grassland, which is the first line of defense laid by Chen in the northwest, and there are 300,000 troops stationed in these two states alone, and they are also the forefront of the northwest against the grassland.

A flying horse galloped from the post road and entered the barracks, and the knight on the horse stopped in front of a large tent, turned over and dismounted, ran into the tent, and said loudly: "General, there is an urgent report ahead!" ”

The middle-aged man in armor with a calm face sat firmly in the tent, glanced at him, and said, "Say." ”

The knight said: "General Huiyu, the soldiers and horses of the main headquarters of the Wanyan Department suddenly appeared in the north of Yinshan, General Xiao and the five hundred soldiers under his command were unfortunately captured by them, and there is news from the front that the Wanyan Department is going to carry out a public execution of General Xiao......"

"What!" When the middle-aged man heard this, his expression could no longer remain indifferent, he slammed the table and said loudly: "You say it again!" ”

The knight gritted his teeth and said: "Wanyan Ministry, Wanyan Ministry, Wanyan Ministry, will carry out a public execution of General Xiao, and invite Caosu Shen to watch the execution, time, time will be ...... in three days."

The middle-aged man sat down again and muttered, "Three days, it's too late......"

A staff general stood up and said anxiously: "Please send a large army into the grassland immediately to rescue General Xiao......"

"Shut up!" The middle-aged man looked at him and said sharply: "Are you going to let the whole army die in order to rescue General Xiao!" ”

The general's body trembled, and he could only sit down honestly.

The middle-aged man thought for a while, looked at the other person, and said, "Send an envoy to Wanyan to negotiate with them, and we are willing to exchange twice as many prisoners of war for the lives of General Xiao and five hundred soldiers......"

The man said: "General, the Wanyan Department has never negotiated with us......"

"Now that I've gotten my way, I can only try it first." The middle-aged man sighed and said, "In addition, eight hundred miles is urgent, and the matter will be sent to the Jingshi as soon as possible......"
