When Xiao Bu heard this, he didn't dare to be a little sloppy. He immediately ordered the Chu army to stop shooting and rushing, and replied to Deng Jiehou: "You quickly order your subordinates to let General Zhuang go, otherwise, we will bury you at the bottom of the river." ”

At this time, the back of Qin Bing sounded again, "Chong, ah...... Kill, ......".

Deng Jiehou glanced behind Qin Jun in a panic, and found that a female general with a team of thousands of people was coming over to kill him, and the momentum was extremely fierce.

Deng Jiehou looked at these embattled people, listened to these embattled people, and said to Zhuang Ji in horror: "These are all your people? Get them out of the way, or I'll kill you at once." As he spoke, he raised his long sword and shook it at Zhuang Ji's throat a few times.

"Slow." A voice crushed the chaos and knocked off the long sword in Deng Jiehou's hand.

Deng Jiehou followed the sound and shouted in a trembling voice: "General Sima? General, is it really General Sima? General, in the lower Deng decisive incompetence. Please order the general to execute Zhuang Ji immediately and execute it in the next place. ”

"Nonsense. Aren't you urging the Chu army to execute General Ben immediately? General Sima shot back harshly.

Deng Jiehou said like a wilted eggplant: "Yes, there is a mistake in the bottom." ”

This Sima general, that is, Sima Cuo, the supreme commander of the Qin army's expedition to the Western Chu Route Army.

At this moment, Sima Cuo was being held in the hands of Zhong Yitong, and came to the front line with the Chu army that was chasing the Qin army.

Since Zhuang Ji was taken away by Deng Jiehou, the more Ding Huaiyue thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and when he couldn't bear this torture, he took the initiative to find Ah Cai and said: "Aunt Ah Cai, if I don't tell the truth again, I can't stand it on my conscience, I have done things that lack morality, and I have done things that are sorry for my godfather, and I will eventually be thundered by the sky." ”

Ah Cai whispered, "What are you talking nonsense? If you have anything to say, now that the situation is urgent, you have to save General Zhuang, who listens to you to make those useless oaths. ”

"Aunt Acai, don't be afraid, they don't dare to poison my godfather." Ding Huaiyue said calmly and confidently.

Ah Cai stared at him with both eyes and said, "How do you know that the Qin army doesn't dare to attack the general?" Qin Jun's home is not for you, just talking in a dream. ”

Ding Huaiyue twisted his face to the side and said, "Aunt Cai, don't worry, the handle of the Qin army is in our hands, and they are more anxious and afraid than us." Really, they were scared to death. ”

"Tell me directly, what are they afraid of?" The more Ah Cai listened, the more confused he became, and touched Ding Huaiyue's forehead, thinking that he had a fever and was talking nonsense.

Ding Huaiyue took a sharp breath and said, "The officer of the Qin soldiers that my godfather arrested is actually Sima Cuo, the supreme commander of the Qin army, do you know?" ”

"What? The more you talk, the more unpleasant it becomes. Ah Cai said in disbelief, "I don't want to listen to your nonsense, I want to deliberately delay my time, right?" Now if we delay a little time, the general will be in more danger. After she finished speaking, she pulled her legs and wanted to leave.

Ding Huaiyue grabbed Ah Cai and cried: "Aunt Ah Cai, I'm sorry for you and my godfather." In fact, this person is Sima Cuo, the general of the Qin army, and I have never dared to say it because he personally interrogated me, and ...... And call me...... Oops, anyway, you told me to do something I'm sorry for my godfather. Let's go, we just need to bring General Sima and exchange with them, and the Qin army is willing to return my godfather. ”

"Is what you're saying true or false?" Ah Cai always felt that Ding Huaiyue's words were too unreliable.

Ding Huaiyue dragged Ah Cai to the prison where the Qin soldiers were being held, and said as he walked: "He alone is better than thousands of troops." Of course, if Aunt A Cai is not at ease, she will bet on Sima Cuo, followed by our soldiers, and it is always okay to get a double insurance. ”

In this way, they escorted the Qin officer who Zhuang Ji caught in the water, and together with the large group of men, they caught up with the Qin army.

The two armies faced each other.

The Qin army was tightly surrounded in the center by the Chu army. Deng Jiehou saw this formation, and couldn't help but be timid, and didn't know how to deal with it.

In order to rescue Zhuang Ji as soon as possible, Xiao Bu broke the dullness and said: "General Deng is decided, our army reports a good news to Your Excellency, Wushan City, which was occupied by your Qin army, has returned to the Chu State, and you have no way out, and now surrendering quickly is the only way out for you." ”

When Sima heard this, he opened his mouth in surprise and couldn't close it, but after thinking about it, he still said strongly: "This is impossible." I Qiang Qin and the Chu army have fought countless battles, winning more and losing less, how can there be such a way to lose? ”

"It's just that there has never been this kind of loss, and this time you will be asked to lose a new one." Xiaobu replied humorously.

"I protest." Deng Jiehou said like crazy, "You are not sincere, and you are good at sneak attacks." said that he was going to play land warfare, but as a result, so many warships came, and they marched in three batches, deceived me into the Qin outpost, and entered my battlefield, it was really despicable and shameless, and the next three rotten means were exhausted. ”

Zhuang Ji, who was still being kidnapped, opened his mouth and said: "General Sima Cuo and I have fought many times underwater, and at the general level, it is difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat, and we are tied. However, General Sima Cuo ate and drank spicy food at my place under a false identity, and drank a lot of fine wine, right? He's the real winner. Zhuang is a loser in this regard. General Sima Cuo, Zhuang has the courage to propose a plan, do you think it is feasible? ”

Sima Coo opened his mouth and responded: "What does the general have to say, I am willing to listen." ”

Zhuang Ji was originally speaking to Deng Jiehou, but when he heard Sima staggered Jinkou, he continued: "Okay, General Sima agreed." Just now, our general Xiaobu Zuo said that the Chu army has occupied Wushan City, but your Deng Duhou said that it is impossible. We will follow this, each side will send ten people, and immediately rush to Wushan City, if our side lies, then we will lose; Otherwise, you should admit defeat, end the war, and return my Great Chu Jiangshan. ”

Deng Jiehou looked at Sima Cuo and waited for him to make a decision.

Sima Cao had left Wushan City for some time, and he didn't count Zhuang Ji's proposal in his heart, so he hesitated.

"You don't have to go into the city anymore, I have brought you a witness." A voice came from the back of the Chu army.

The crowd looked up, but saw nothing.

After waiting for a while, two soldiers of the Chu army came over with a beautiful woman.

What's going on?

Sima Cuo, who was in the hands of Chu Jun, immediately wilted up and down when he saw the beauty, but he couldn't help but exclaim: "Xiao Yelian, you ...... You ......"

Liu Huaibei said to everyone: "The Chu army has not recaptured Wucheng, and this beauty will speak, everyone should believe that she will say it fairly." ”

Deng Jiehou looked at it and shouted wildly: "General Sima, can you bear to watch your favorite being insulted by the Chu army like this?" Xiao Yelian, you said, how did Chu Jun insult you. ”

Xiao Yelian just kept crying and kept silent.

Deng Jiehou suddenly drew his sword, put the blade of the sword against Zhuang Ji's throat, and shouted arrogantly: "If you insult General Sima again, I will kill him with a sword." ”

The officers and soldiers of Chu were sweating at Deng Jiehou's crazy actions, seeing that General Zhuang's life was hanging by a thread and in danger, many soldiers secretly prepared to take down this inhumane Qin officer Deng Jiehou in one fell swoop and rescue their beloved general.

Liu Huaibei saw that Zhuang Ji was still being held up by the Qin army and was in extreme danger, where could he still hold his breath? He handed Xiao Yelian over to the soldiers around him to escort, and he was alone like lightning, rushing up, as if entering a no-man's land, only to see the blade of the sword flash, and the long sword in Deng Jiehou's hand fell to the ground with a bang; In another flash, the rope on Zhuang Ji's arm was broken.

Tens of thousands of soldiers on both sides of the duel saw this scene as silent as death, and then suddenly burst into thunderous applause.

When the Qin soldiers who captured Zhuang Ji saw it, they stared at him in fright and retreated straight back with panicked eyes.

Deng Jiehou moved his legs and stuck out his tongue to look at the long sword on the ground.

Liu Huaibei took the opportunity to block Zhuang Ji with his body.

Deng Jiehou, who was frightened, suddenly woke up, and he shouted to the soldiers: "What are you doing in a daze? If you don't arrest Zhuang Ji quickly, how can you let him get away with Qiang Qin? ”

Xiao Bu was extremely clever, and when Liu Huaibei broke the rope on Zhuang Ji's arm with his sword, he secretly arranged for his soldiers to swarm up and carry Zhuang Ji out of the Qin army's encirclement and back to the Chu army.

Sima Cuo saw that Chu Jun's actions were so swift and unconscious, and he sighed to himself in his heart. He raised his hand to get everyone's attention, and then shouted, "General Ben protests." Now is the time for the two armies to discuss, how can they secretly attack each other? As soon as you sneak attack like this, our two sides will lose their balance, lose their balance, how can we negotiate? ”

Zhuang Ji, who was shocked, responded: "Why can't you talk? It's still the same as just now, you must admit defeat and return the city of Chu that you forcibly occupied, otherwise, there will be no talk. ”

"General, you can promise them." Xiao Yelian, who had been silent, suddenly said with a golden mouth, "Now, Wucheng has been lost, and we are all homeless, what victory or defeat are we talking about?" The little woman does not seek glory and wealth, but only seeks to be consistent with the general's food and clothing, and live together until she grows old. ”

"Do you hear that, General Sima?" Liu Huaibei reminded, "What your pet says, will it be fake?" Honestly admit defeat, what is the difference between forcibly occupying other people's land and stealing? Come out and steal, you always have to pay it back. ”

"General Sima, don't believe her, it's ...... ruined." Deng Jiehou gritted his teeth and said, "A woman's heart is like a poplar catkins, floating in the wind and flowing with the water, how can you believe it?" The strong Qin fought against the weak Chu, and there was no reason to admit defeat. As long as the general gives an order, I should die for my country and never regret it. ”

"Don't say any more." Sima Coo stopped Deng Jiehou, thought for a while, and then said, "General Zhuang, you are free now, what about me?" You can't let me be like this forever. ”

Zhuang Ji said confidently: "General Sima, whether you can be free or not is completely up to you. Zhuang fights for the freedom of the Chu State, and will definitely not give orders for the freedom of those who occupy the land of the Chu State. 166 Reading Network
