Bai He, with a letter from Bailiyan, led 10,000 cavalry, quickly left the city, crossed the Dolandon River on the ice, and arrived near Mooney's camp two days later.

"Commander of the Qiyu Legion, an unknown horse team was found in the west, about 10,000 people, probably the northerner cavalry!" A report by the head of the regiment.

"Hmph, it's really a long skill, even the cavalry has it! Go, all armies strictly guard the camp and do not attack! ”

"Yes!"

Not long after the regimental commander withdrew, about an hour passed, and the soldiers entered the account and reported:

"Commander of the Qiqi Army, a messenger sent by the northerners has arrived outside the camp."

Mooney was shocked to hear the news:

"The Messenger? What kind of tricks are you playing? ”

Mooney didn't expect that Bailiyan would know that there was a truce in Cupigon. He was about to continue to observe Montina's reality until he could no longer hold it back, and then put the armistice on the table to force Montina's coalition forces to compromise. But as everyone knows, the armistice was concocted by Bailiyan from beginning to end.

After a moment's thought, Mooney continued:

"Bring people in!"

"Yes!"

After a while, Bai He was brought into the tent, and this time there was no big tie compared to the last time he went to see Gudapa and Nolunga.

Entering the account, his eyes looked around, Bai He was calm, and his eyes quickly fell on the middle-aged Jin Xuedi man wearing gorgeous armor behind the charcoal furnace in the middle.

"You're Captain Mooney, aren't you?"

Bai He's voice fell, and Mooney glanced at him, and said in a Song Guo accent:

"It's the general, if you guess correctly, your general is Bailiyan, right!"

With the lesson of Gudappa last time, Bai He was not surprised this time, and continued to remain silent:

"It seems that the name of my general's name has already been famous."

"Humph! I don't argue with you with words, let's say, what did Bailiyan send you to do? ”

"On the orders of my general, I will hand over this letter to the general."

Bai He took out the letter and handed it to Mooney.

The contents of the letter were simple: two days later, Baillyon gave a feast on the Dolandon River, and invited Mooney to the feast, when the armies of both sides retreated a hundred paces to the shore, each with only fifty men with him, and ate on the ice, and nothing else.

Seeing this, Mooney was suspicious, he always felt that eating was not so simple, and eighty percent was Bailiyan's trick. But if you don't go, maybe it's a ruse.

After pondering for a moment, he said:

"Bai Liyan led hundreds of thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled rabble, there is no way out, and it is useless to continue to play any tricks. Go back and tell him that the commander of the legion will be on time, and let him be ready to say what he needs to say, and not regret it when the time comes. ”

Bai He sneered:

"I remember that our army has been here for more than two years and three thousand miles to the east, and now it is really retreating farther and farther, I am afraid that if I retreat again, I will have to retreat to the pass, which is probably not what the corps commander wants to see."

"You!" Mooney was so angry that he really wanted to stab Bai He's face with a sword: "Hmph, you can go, the captain of this legion doesn't care about you." ”

"Then I will take my leave!"

Bai Hacao arched his hand, and then turned to leave.

At this time, Bailiyan had already fallen and set up camp on the banks of the Dolanton River, and the cold wind blew on his face, scraping people like a knife.

"General, on such a cold day, eating on the ice, this is not freezing and sick." Fang Liang said.

"You know what, it's not eating, it's a temptation to understand the truth. I've got to let Mooney know that I'm not going to stop him from crossing the river, I've got to reassure him that he understands. ”

Fang Liang was confused when he heard it, and he was puzzled:

"My subordinates don't understand."

"If you don't understand, it's right, this meal is for people who understand. You say you, you all know that this is a trap, will you let the cavalry swim across the river from it? ”

"I won't be killed!"

"That's not the end, it means you're confused. Only sober people will insist on their own opinions, and this meal is for those who understand, and after eating, they will understand better. ”

"But the more my subordinates listen, the more confused they become, how could Mooney fall into the trap of the lieutenant general because of a meal?"

"This is called being smart but being mistaken by being smart, you will know in a few days, and now you don't understand it, go and continue to prepare."

The Dolanton River was the only obstacle to Montina, and if the Allied forces were to hold on to the west bank, it would be very difficult to cross the river once the temperature warmed up in March, and the ice thawed and thinned, or even melted.

Let Bai He lead 10,000 cavalry to demonstrate, which is to clearly convey to Mooney the message that the coalition army has been equipped with cavalry and its mobility has been greatly improved. There is no need to rely on infantry to garrison the river bank as before, and it is completely possible to maneuver back and forth along the upper, middle and lower three routes.

Once the snow melts, it will be very difficult to cross the river farther away from the coalition forces. In this way, Mooney is bound to use the truce as a pretext to cross the Dolandon River before the ice thaws, which is obviously not good for Bailiyan at the moment.

Bai He returned at noon the next day, told the story in detail, and when he heard that the coalition forces were going to retreat into the pass, Bai Liyan laughed. Although Bai He doesn't have any big ambitions, he still has some skills in his mouth.

Mooney's cavalry advanced slowly, and did not reach forty miles east of the Dolanton River until late the next day, and sent messengers to confirm the meeting place.

Bailiyan spread the newly attached people's army along the river from south to north, putting on a posture as if facing a great enemy, and asked people to erect a flagpole on the west bank of the meeting place, play the Bailiyan flag, and set up a square table and two wooden chairs on the ice in the lake.

Mooney took advantage of the night to come to the east coast to spy on Bailiyan's defenses, looking for all opportunities to take advantage of. But when he saw the military camp haphazardly entrenched in the West Bank, Mooney's face immediately became complicated, and he alternated between confusion and incomprehension.

He couldn't understand why Bailiyan let a rabble resist the iron hooves of his 80,000 cavalry, and at this moment, as long as he crossed the Dolandon River in the starry night, he could wipe out hundreds of thousands of rabbles overnight.

That night, Bai Liyan didn't sleep all night, and he was also worried that Mooney would rush to the Dolandon River in the starry night and kill him by surprise.

The next day, Mooney led his army to the east bank, and when he was a hundred paces away, the cavalry swung out from south to north, and the army was ready to cross the river at any time under the city.

Around the clock, Bailiyan asked Bai He to take forty-nine people to the ice in the lake, and placed tableware and charcoal stoves on the preset tabletop, while Mooney rode on a horse and used a telescope to try to pull Bailiyan out of the crowd on the other side, but he couldn't see any targets worth paying attention to.

After a while, Bai He and the others finished their preparations, stood in two rows, and stood three steps west of the table and chairs on the river. At this time, a man walked out of the crowd on the west bank, wearing a tiger skin windbreaker and a wolf skin hat, a young and handsome face of the Central Plains hidden deep in the fur, his eyes were deep and energetic, and he was faintly and secretly amazing.

Mooney was a little surprised, he knew that Bai Liyan was a man under thirty years old, in his twenties to assist the king, commanding hundreds of thousands of troops, but he didn't believe this rumor. All along, he thought that this was just the apotheosis of the Central Plains people boasting about themselves.

Putting away the binoculars, Mooney motioned to his entourage of fifty men to go out to the shore before breaking away from the large formation, but he still did not mean to dismount, and continued to ride to the river.

At this time, the surface of the river was frozen as a rock, covered with a thick layer of snow, and the horses' hooves creaked slowly to the middle of the river.

Bai Liyan stood two steps in front of Bai He and the others, only one step away from the table and chairs, Mooney's horse team swung out from south to north, Mooney urged the horse to take two steps forward, looking at the Central Plains man eight steps away.

Under the four eyes, a sly smile flashed at the corner of Bailiyan's mouth, and she shouted in fluent Jin Xuedi first:

"Your Excellency is Muni Yar Quika!"

Mooney's brows furrowed when he heard the news, and although he had to report Baili Yantong in advance that they knew their language, he was still shocked at first glance. After settling down, Mooney said in a Song accent:

"Then you are Baili Yan!"

"It's the general, how about it, whether you feel too late to see an opponent you have never met."

"Hmph, let's say, what is Joben going to say here today, my cavalry is impatient."

"But I believe that there is still an hour. Why don't you sit down and taste the delicacies of my Central Plains first, and talk about it while eating. ”

"I advise you, don't play any tricks, your soldiers will soon be crushed by my iron cavalry."

"Oh, yes, it looks like we don't have much to talk about."

When the words fell, Bai Liyan turned to Bai He and said:

"Bai He, go put down the handsome flag and carry it away, let's retreat!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Bai Liyan said to go, that is, he turned around and left, and Mu Ni suddenly felt inexplicably annoyed:

"Bailiyan, you dare to play the general, don't deceive people too much!"

Bailiyan stopped and turned around and said:

"This general has already stated in his letter that today is for a banquet, not for anything else, it is Your Excellency who broke his promise first, why did you deceive Your Excellency too much!"

"You!" Mooney was speechless for a while, and said after holding it for a long time: "The two armies are fighting, and it is not child's play to hold a banquet. ”

"That's what you think, we Central Plains people always talk about faith and righteousness, and eating is eating. Unlike you, who have been attacking the Central Plains for hundreds of years, when have you seen the Central Plains army attacking your land?

Of course, this general is really helpless this time, desperate, accidentally offended the sacred land of your state, if your Excellency is willing to let this general return to the north, let's talk about everything, sit down and talk while eating, maybe the negotiation is completed, and any trouble will disappear, isn't it. ”

Bai He and the others wanted to laugh when they heard this, and Mooney's face twitched with anger:

"Killing and plundering my people, you still want to return to the north, dreaming!"

Bai Liyan suddenly laughed:

"Haha......"

"What are you laughing at!"

"Ben will dare to ask Your Excellency, do you know how to write the word shame!"

"You!"

Mooney's eyes were like a tiger and he was annoyed and angry, and Bai Liyan said again:

"Killing a few of you will make you feel distressed, you have been at the expense of thousands of miles away for hundreds of years to wage war against our Central Plains, and have taken millions of people into slavery, don't you think it's ridiculous?"

"The Moon God has already given the land of the north to our clan, and it is you who have encroached on the land that our clan deserves, and you are the culprit in starting this war."

"Don't come to this set, you were still in the Guannai hundreds of years ago, a thousand years ago you were still playing in the snow in the south, 15,000 miles away from the Central Plains, the road is inaccessible and uninhabited, you say that the Central Plains is your land, do you have wings and fly over!"
