Zhuang Ji asked puzzledly: "We didn't want to fight them, why did we take the initiative to find the door?" ”

Liu Huaibei sighed and said: "Oh, General Zhuang, you don't know, it is said that Huai Yue called the son-in-law of the head of Zhiyue was tied up by Tu Dengfu." This head man came to ask for someone, but he was insulted by Zhiyue, and he went home in a fit of anger to move troops, and the momentum of the coming was violent, and we must be on guard. ”

Zhuang Ji slammed the water bowl and said angrily: "This guy, just cause trouble." ”

Liu Huaibei persuaded Zhuang Ji again: "Don't get angry, I just heard about it." But this is one thing that was seen with your own eyes. When the head of the tribe brought the troops, his daughter begged her father not to use troops and negotiate peace with us so that her husband could go back, but the head man did not agree, and his daughter blocked the road and committed suicide in front of him......"

Zhuang Ji said disgracefully: "Huh? There is such a martyr in this Nanxiyi? ”

Liu Huaibei nodded and said affirmatively: "Really, this is what I saw with my own eyes." After his daughter committed suicide, another soldier dissuaded the headman and was stabbed to death by the headman. Alas, it was a terrible scene. ”

When Zhuang Ji heard this, he knew that the person who came was not good. Especially since this head of the man challenged with such great anger, the result was even more unpredictable. He said to Liu Huaibei: "Where are Zhiyue and Tu Dengfu now?" ”

Liu Huaibei said hesitantly: "Princess Jingyin...... She brought a soldier ......"

When Zhuang Ji heard this, he understood that this matter might be led by Jing Yin, so he ordered a guard: "Quickly call Wu Shixun to come, there is something important to discuss." ”

Wu Shixun came quickly.

When Zhuang Ji saw it, he hurriedly said: "It seems that this trouble is not small, you quickly organize the troops, and deploy and hide in two ways, as for whether to attack or not, wait until I see the head of the man." ”

Liu Huaibei said in astonishment after hearing this: "What? The general wants to meet with the head of the tribe? This is absolutely unacceptable, he came with troops in anger, there is no room for talking, and it explodes when he talks, which is too dangerous. ”

Wu Shixun also said: "Yes, General Zhuang, you see that this leader is angry, if you want to see it, you can't go, send a soldier to test and test ...... first."

Zhuang Ji suppressed with a gesture: "Hey, hey, you stop." Why should soldiers try dangerous things? That's not right. ”

Wu Shixun patted his chest and said: "In this way, you don't want the soldier to go, I'll go, he wants to use force, I will do it with him on the spot, what are you afraid of." ”

Zhuang Ji said decisively: "Don't fight, go and act." When the leader comes, I will go out to meet him, which is a must. ”

Wu Shixun had no choice but to obey the order and run to deploy the army.

After Zhuang Ji saw Wu Shixun leave, he said to Liu Huaibei: "You go to Jing Yin, find out what happened, and Zhiyue, ask him to come back, just stab the mess, alas, the longer it is, the more uneasy it is." ”

Liu Huaibei persuaded: "General, don't worry, what I just said is just heard, what is the specific situation, wait until I go to investigate, I believe that Zhiyue will not do a thing." ”

Zhuang Ji said smoothly: "If only it was really as you said." ”

Zhuang Zhiyue, Huai Yue, and the kidnapped Tu Dengfu were waiting for the tribal leader to change their minds and come to the peace talks, when a soldier from the tribe ran to Tu Dengfu to report that Mrs. Tu had committed suicide in order to prevent her father from attacking the Chu army.

Tu Dengfu didn't believe it at all, he kicked the soldier away and said, "What news can't you send, but send such an unreliable letter?" ”

Zhiyue listened and said: "It can't be said that it is unreliable, because we don't know the truth." ”

Tu Dengfu said affirmatively: "I know my own wife, how can she stop her father? Besides, for whom is this suicide for? Is it worth killing yourself for me? Therefore, this news cannot be trusted. ”

Jing Yin brought Liu Huaibei and heard their words and asked, "What is not credible?" ”

Huai Yue didn't expect their words to be heard by Jing Yin, so he said: "What this soldier said, what he said on the battlefield, is mostly gossip and cannot be trusted. ”

Jing Yin lifted the soldier who was crooked on the ground, pulled him outside and asked, "What news did you say, why don't they believe it?" ”

Zhiyue went out and said to Jing Yin: "Princess, you don't have to ask him, they are all here to let go of the wind so that we can give in." If you believe what he says, you will fall for the leader. ”

Jing Yin refused: "Don't interject, I'll listen to him." ”

Huai Yue and Liu Huaibei had no choice but to enter the house.

As soon as Liu Huaibei saw Tu Dengfu, he asked, "Commander Tu, which one are you singing with them?" I was put here by myself, but my father-in-law led the army to recruit us. ”

When Tu Dengfu heard this, he said in surprise: "Did he really lead a large army to fight the Chu army camp?" ”

Liu Huaibei said affirmatively: "Is this still fake? I saw it with my own eyes, and it took a lot of effort to report it to General Zhuang a little bit earlier than their team. ”

Tu Dengfu said in surprise: "Then aren't the two sides fighting now?" ”

Liu Huaibei nodded and said, "It's very likely, but General Zhuang said that no matter what, he wants to meet with the tribal leader first, so that it can be resolved peacefully." ”

After Tu Dengfu heard this, he said with a little comfort: "Oh, that's good, maybe General Zhuang can resolve this war when he sees my father-in-law." ”

Wu Shixun's troops were ambushed on both sides of the valley, and he watched as the team led by the tribal leader quickly approached the Chu army camp, but he did not come out to block it.

Zhuang Ji was alone, righteously facing the approaching tribal army,

The tribal leader held the most advanced copper broadsword in the southwest with great momentum, strode in front of Zhuang Ji, waved it non-stop, and said, "You, why are you blocking my way?" ”

Zhuang Ji said very politely: "Welcome to the arrival of distinguished guests, can you please put away your big knife and go to the barracks to talk?" ”

The head of the tribe said arrogantly: "I'll collect your heads, what's there to talk about?" ”

After listening to the soldier's statement, Jing Yin here listened to the urgent news of Liu Huaibei's military camp, and without saying a word, he hurriedly ordered: "Huaiyue and Zhiyue, you take Tu Dengfu and others to the barracks to see General Zhuang quickly, otherwise, the consequences will be unsolved." ”

After she made arrangements, she led a hundred soldiers to the barracks in a hurry.

Zhuang Ji in front of the barracks, facing the arrogance of the tribal leader, said calmly: "If you don't have something to talk about, then there is nothing to fight, you lead so many troops to threaten us, there must be a reason, right?" That's why I'm going to talk about it. ”

The tribal leader said: "There is nothing to talk about, if you don't leave, I will take your military camp to the pot." ”

Zhuang Ji pointed to the barracks and said: "We are here, the station is a wasteland, and there is no one and no smoke in the four fields, how can we occupy your territory?" ”

The tribal leader pointed to the edge of the sky and said, "From here to the edge of the sky, it is ours, and there is a large pond in it, which is ours, without a drop of water from you, without a grain of soil from you." ”
