Looking at Tu Qi's hurried figure, Zhou Tong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and after a while, he said with a wry smile: "This Tu Qi!" I haven't seen you for so long, and it's so hot to do things! This character, if he is allowed to negotiate, I don't know if it is a good thing! "What the general confessed, he has always regarded as more important than his own life. In my opinion, it should be the end of the year, and he is afraid that he will be delayed on the road for too long and delay the big event. When he arrives in Guzang County, it shouldn't be like this. Moreover, since the general had arranged for him to be in charge of this matter, he must have considered it carefully! Hearing this, Peng Lin said.

"That's right! When did the general do things, when did he make a mistake! Let's hurry up and arrange everything and wait for news over there! Zhou Tong nodded, and then said.

After Tu Qi and his entourage left Yuanwei County, under the escort of a group of soldiers, they hurried day and night in the direction of Guzang County. After seeing Hu Tian in the Reverse Water Valley, he immediately rushed to Gulangxia Pass.

When he arrived at the gates, the battle was raging. Fortunately, the terrain of this Gulangxia Pass is dangerous, and the middle line is connected, and the opponent's army cannot be fully deployed. For Sun Tie and the others who guarded, it was an advantage.

Tu Qi's arrival made Sun Tie and Deng Qiang both breathe a sigh of relief. After all, facing the fierce attack of the army outside the city day and night, although he said that he had 3,000 soldiers and horses here, he was not an iron man after all.

In order to recapture Gulangxia Pass and rescue Zhang Ju's army, Zhang Qian and others can be said to have launched an attack at any cost.

In addition, because this is the territory of Wuwei County, it is very close to Guzang and other places. Therefore, it is not difficult for Zhang Qian and others to obtain large-scale instruments.

If it is attacked fiercely all the time, even if the Huashan army in the city can support it, I am afraid that the pass will not be able to support it first.

"Tu Qi, it's good that you're here, just let us take a breath first!" Sun Tie's first sentence when he saw Tu Qi was this.

Tu Qi saw that many soldiers were already injured, but they still stuck to the pass, knowing that everyone was fighting very hard, so he said to everyone: "Everyone has worked hard!" Brothers, before I came, the general asked me to bring you a message, saying that when you go back in the future, he will personally toast you all! ”

"Defend to the death, never retreat!" When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but get excited, and they didn't know who shouted first, and then a rolling sound was formed!

What everyone is most afraid of is that no one knows about their own achievements, and no one feels sorry for their own efforts! Now when I hear this, although it is just an ordinary sentence, it makes everyone feel that the effort is worth it.

"I'll go out of the city to negotiate with the enemy later, and there may be a period of calm to come. Take advantage of this time to find a way to recuperate. Especially these wounded brothers, send them back to Jincheng County first! Tu Qi then said to Sun Tie and Deng Qiang.

"I'll send you out!" Sun Tie nodded and proposed.

"No need, the brothers are already working very hard, besides, I'm going to negotiate, not to fight, and the people I bring are enough!" Tu Qi shook his head and refused.

After saying this, Tu Qi ordered someone to send a message to the enemy troops outside the city, indicating the identity of his envoy. After the other party suspended the attack, he was escorted by soldiers and headed towards the county seat where Zhang Qian was located.

The reason why I want to go there instead of Guzang County is because Zhang Qian is there now.

At the beginning, Zhang Qian was waiting for Zhang Ju's good news in Liangzhou, hoping to achieve a big victory against the Huashan Army this time. Not only will the two counties of Jincheng and Xiping be recovered, but also can further seize Longxi and other places in Qinzhou.

In that case, his prestige in Liangzhou would inevitably reach an unprecedented height, thus providing greater support for his ambitions.

But who would have thought that Zhang Ju led 30,000 cavalry to the expedition, but the result was that he was always blocked north of Jincheng, and he couldn't advance a single step at all. In this case, he naturally sent someone to reprimand Zhang Ju and Niu Ba, who led the troops.

It's just that he didn't expect that a few days after the messenger sent out to reprimand came back, he ran back on a fast horse and reported to himself a thunderbolt on a sunny day. Gulangxia Pass, which is regarded as the southern gate of Wuwei, actually fell into the hands of the Huashan Army inexplicably.

When he heard the news, he almost fell to the ground. After all, everyone understands the importance of that place to Wuwei County, once it falls into the hands of the enemy, it is equivalent to the complete opening of the Guzang Portal~.

At that time, after being surprised, he immediately convened his ministers to discuss countermeasures. In the end, two methods were discussed, one was to strengthen the guard forces in the counties of Wuwei County, and the other was naturally to find a way to take back the Gulangxia Pass.

When they found out that the Huashan Army occupying Gulangxia Pass had no intention of seizing other places further, they were finally relieved. And Zhang Qian was furious, so he personally led the army to kill him, wanting to take this pass back.

But after fighting for so long, it has never had any effect. As a result, Zhang Qian handed over the war to other generals, and he himself sat in the nearest county town and was responsible for supervising the war.

"It's been so long, Zhang Ju and they don't know what's going on?" In the county office, Zhang Qian paced back and forth, and his face was quite melancholy.

"The Huashan army occupied the Gulang Gorge Pass, but did not advance further. Obviously, they want to cut off General Zhang's back road, most likely, in order to block our side from rescuing General Zhang and them. What I am most worried about now is that General Zhang and their troops have been wiped out under the siege of the Huashan Army! Shang Shufu shot Song Chao sighed and said.

"That's what I'm worried about! If the 30,000 army is wiped out in one day, the consequences will be worrying! Hearing this, Zhang Qian nodded, looking worried.

Of course, what he was worried about should be different from what Song Chao was worried about.

"Report, Qi Yu envoy, there is an urgent military situation sent from the front, saying that the Huashan Army has sent a messenger to ask for a meeting!" Just as the two were discussing, someone outside the door came to report.

Hearing this, Zhang Qian was stunned for a moment, then looked at Song Chao on the side, and said, "What does Song Servant think?" ”

"See you! The Huashan Army sent an envoy at this time, which was a good thing anyway. It's just right, let's find out about General Zhang's situation! Song Chao said immediately.

"That's right! Then let's see it! Come on, let them in! Zhang Qian nodded, and then commanded.

Soon, Tu Qi walked in from outside, and his entourage was left outside.

"It's you!" When Song Chao saw Tu Qi, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"What? Song Servant knows him? Zhang Qian heard it and hurriedly asked.

"Envoy, the last time I went to Wushi County to negotiate with Li Xin, this person stood beside Li Xin. Later, I inquired, and this person's name was Tu Qi, who was the person in charge of Li Xin's subordinate department, and he was very respected by Li Xin. This time he actually came, it seems that most of them were sent by Li Xin! Seeing the question, Song Chao hurriedly leaned over and replied in a low voice.

"Oh? Li Xin's cronies? That's a good thing! When Zhang Qian heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Tu Qi who came over, and whispered.

Soon, Tu Qi came to the front of the two of them, and first bowed slightly to Zhang Qian and said: "Tu Qi, the head of the Huashan Military Department, has come to meet Zhang Yuanjun on the order of the champion general!" ”

Seeing that Song Chao was also on the side, he arched his hand and said, "I've seen Song Servant!" ”

"Excuse me! Since you were sent by Li Xin, you don't know what's going on? You must know that our two armies are now facing each other on the battlefield, if you don't have a good reason, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave! "Zhang Qian was angry with Huashan Jun, so he was a little unkind when he spoke.

"I came here to be entrusted by the general, for the sake of General Zhang Ju Zhang and the 20,000 army! The two armies fought without slashing, and Zhang Yuanjun was also a famous person in the world, so he must not even know this minimum truth! Tu Qi didn't care about Zhang Qiang's words, and said lightly.

"Twenty thousand troops? Our army clearly has 30,000 people, when did it become 20,000 troops? Hearing this, Zhang Qiang's attention was on the first half of the sentence, and he hurriedly asked.

"It is good to teach Zhang Zhijun to know that some time ago, General Niu Ba Niu returned from a defeat outside Haokang County, and now he has joined forces with General Zhang. In addition, General Zhang attacked the city outside Yuanwei County for several days, but gained nothing, which can be described as a heavy loss. In this way, by now, there are less than 20,000 horses left! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Qian and Song Chao couldn't help but be speechless. Both of them understand that there is no need to lie about this kind of thing, so they do not doubt its authenticity. It's just that none of them expected that Zhang Ju's army would suffer such heavy losses.

"You said you came here for them, but did you mean peace?" After being silent for a while, Song Chao said on the side.

"Not bad! What my general meant, although Liangzhou took advantage of the fire to rob this time, after all, he was provoked by others and blinded by the benefits in front of him. In addition, among the 20,000 troops, most of them were innocent soldiers, so the general was merciful and determined to negotiate with Zhang Zhijun! As long as the negotiation is settled, General Zhang and the 20,000 troops can return to Guzang safely! I wonder if Zhang Yuanjun is willing to talk? Tu Qi nodded and said slowly.

"You kill my soldiers first, and then take my Gulang Gorge Pass, and now you still want to negotiate? How can there be such a beautiful thing in the world? When Zhang Qian heard this, he immediately said angrily.

"So, is Zhang Yuanjun willing to fight? If this is the case, I have no choice but to go back and tell the general, saying that the king is more willing to fight! Hearing this, Tu Qi sneered and said slowly.
