"How do you pronounce this word?"

"It's 'broken', the 'broken' that cuts off the way back."

"Oh...... Ah, what a shame, even His Royal Highness King Su knows the writing of our homeland, but we people ......"

"That's no way, after all, it's His Royal Highness King Su......"

"When you say that, you feel acceptable......

At the other end of Yaling Gorge, 20,000 merchant sailors had reached their appointed position and built a simple military camp on the side of a mountain stream on higher ground.

The above conversation took place in the tent of the Shang Shui Army, when the general Wu Ji summoned his generals and guards to study the contents of the letter after receiving another letter from Zhao Hongrun.

Obviously, these people were from the Chu State, but as a result, Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, wrote a letter written by a Wei person with "Chu Seal", but he asked this large group of people to work together to "crack", which made Wu Ji and others feel an inexplicable shame.

"It shouldn't be wrong, ......"

With a long breath, Wu Ji carefully folded the letter from His Royal Highness King Su, put it in his arms, and immediately said to the generals in the tent: "Ladies and gentlemen, according to what His Royal Highness King Su wrote in the letter, the people of Sanchuan who live in the area of Gong and Luo may defect to the Qiangjiao tribe and betray His Royal Highness King Su, therefore, His Royal Highness King Su has ordered us to be vigilant and pay attention to the Sanchuan tribe in that area. ”

"Betraying His Royal Highness King Su?"

The generals in the tent all showed expressions like "is it tolerable or unbearable" when they heard this.

It is no wonder that after all, their family is now living a life like a small aristocrat in Shangshui County, not only does the family have a large area of arable land, but also specially hired people to help take care of the farming, even if it is an ordinary soldier family in the Shangshui Army, their families have also been allocated fields.

In the Wei state, the field tax was only "tithes", which meant that their families would have more food left over at the end of the year for the winter, which meant that life would get better and better.

This made the Shang Shui army feel grateful to His Royal Highness King Su who pulled them from Chu to Wei instead of hating, after all, compared to Chu State's policy of governing the country, Wei's policy of governing the people was simply unimaginable.

"Betraying His Royal Highness King Su...... Damn it! ”

A general of the Shang Shui Army snorted coldly.

As if he had seen through the thoughts of these generals, Wu Ji hurriedly stopped: "Don't be impatient, everyone, His Royal Highness King Su means that the gang themselves will expose their 'betrayal' attempts, so that our side can gain justice." Therefore...... Just spy on them. ”

"The last will obey."

The generals of the merchant navy clasped their fists in response.

Seeing this, Wu Ji waved his hand and said, "Okay, everyone, let's step back and make arrangements, General Zhai (Huang) stays." ”

After a while, all the generals in the tent retreated, and even Wu Ji's personal guards also left the tent, except for a nearly forty-year-old veteran who remained in the tent, and this person was the deputy general that Wu Ji relied on, Zhai Huang.

"General Zhai, how is that thing going?" Wu Ji asked: "In two days at most, the Dangshan Army will withdraw from Yaling Gorge to this side, if something goes wrong on the side of our merchant army at that time, not only will it not be able to resist His Royal Highness King Su's attention to us, but it will also make the Dangshan Army despise our army even more......

Hearing this, Zhai Huang said with a smile: "General rest assured, three days of work is enough for our army to build a defensive line and erect those three hundred crossbows, not to mention five or six thousand cavalry, even fifty thousand cavalry, it will be difficult to break out of Yaling Gorge alive." ”

"Good!"

Wu Ji stood up, clenched his fists and said with great interest: "Although it is stained with the light of the new type of crossbow of the Smelting Bureau, it is ...... With this battle, we will justify the name of our merchant navy! ”

Beside him, Zhai Huang hugged his fists heavily.

"Yes!"

Just when the Shang Shui Army was in full swing preparing to ambush the five or six thousand advance cavalry of the Qiang tribe, its general Zhu Hai also received a letter from Zhao Hongrun at Chenggao Pass, which was dozens of miles away.

And the content of the letter made the general frown, and he seemed to be a little unhappy.

"I refused to fight, and I was proud of the enemy...... This is simply to lure the tribes of Gong and Lu against Gong and Yu......"

After a long time, Zhu Hai put down the letter in his hand, and stood at the window of the house with an indignant face, looking in the direction of Gong and Luo.

Inside the room, Feng Shu, the general under his command, picked up the letter on the table, glanced at it a few times, frowned and asked, "How do you respond, General?" ”

Zhu Hai did not make a decision directly, but said indignantly: "This could have been avoided!" …… Even if the position of the Qiang and Qiang tribes in Gong and Luo is not firm, as long as the Dangshan Army and the Shangshui Army quickly defeat the Qiangjiao tribe, how can the Sanchuan tribes in Gong and Luo really make a move to be the enemy of our Great Wei? …… However, the Dangshan army deliberately fled after defeat, is this a temptation? This is clearly a rebellion! ”

After saying that, his eyes were cold, and he muttered, "Is it Sima An's bastard who bewitched King Su?" ”

"The last general doesn't think much of it." Feng Shu smiled faintly.

"Oh?" Zhu Hai turned his head and asked, "Do you think this is what King Su meant?" ”

"Whether it is the meaning of King Su, it is difficult for the last general to judge in vain, but the last general can be sure that King Su agrees with this matter." Feng Shu put the letter in his hand back on the table, and said with a chuckle: "General, what do you think, Sima An's Dangshan Army, as soon as it left my Chenggao Pass, it broke away from the Shangshui Army and slaughtered several Sanchuan tribes without authorization...... But His Royal Highness King Su revealed in the letter that he was with the Dangshan Army and Sima An at the moment, and the general didn't think that Sima An took the initiative to reconcile with His Royal Highness King Su, right? ”

"......" Zhu Hai touched his chin and nodded slowly.

"The last general thinks that His Royal Highness King Su must have already had a confrontation with Sima An at this moment, although Sima An is one of the generals of the 'Six Battalion Army', and like you, the general, he was once the Son of Heaven's side of Zongwei, but His Royal Highness King Su, that is His Majesty's own son...... No matter how bold Sima An is, he doesn't dare to do anything to His Royal Highness King Su. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Hai's eyes flashed a little different, and he muttered, "That's right...... Although Sima Tuzi was not virtuous, he was loyal to His Majesty and my Great Wei, and he categorically did not dare to coerce King Su. According to his character of "I'd rather be a broken jade than a whole tile", if His Royal Highness King Su forced him, he would most likely hand over the military power of the Dangshan Army and then return to Great Wei alone...... Hey! It's strange, that Sima Tuzi is still staying with King Su at this moment? ”

Zhu Hai couldn't help but wonder a little, after all, according to his understanding, Sima An is a person who does his own thing and never likes to be criticized by others, such a person, it stands to reason that he will never compromise.

"I can't say, it was His Royal Highness King Su who convinced General Sima An!" Feng Shu said with a smile.

"Convinced Sima Tuzi?" Zhu Hai glanced at Feng Shu in shock, as an old acquaintance who had known each other for decades, Zhu Hai really couldn't imagine that the unruly Sima An would also have the possibility of being subdued by the rest except Wei Tianzi.

"But ......"

Zhu Hai turned around and walked a few steps, picked up the letter again, and looked at the contents of the letter with a pair of tiger eyes.

"Could it really be His Royal Highness King Su's idea? Speaking of which, when His Highness attacked the Chu State last year, he was not a soft-hearted person...... It's not good, leaving Sima Tuzi next to that highness, bewitching and instigating......

Zhu Hai thought to himself.

"General?" Seeing that Zhu Hai was silent for a long time, the general Feng Shu asked: "Do you want to respond to what you said in the letter?" ”

I saw Zhu Hai let out a long breath and said melancholy: "If it is Sima Tuzi, forget it, since it is a petition written by King Su himself, how can he refuse...... That's it! If the Sanchuan tribes in Gong and Luo really make a move to be the enemy of our Great Wei, I will become Gaoguan and fight against it! ”

After that, Zhu Hai immediately wrote a reply letter, handed it to Feng Shu, and solemnly advised: "Feng Shu, you lead the hundred horses, and you must personally hand over this letter to His Royal Highness King Su." After that, you will stay with Your Highness for the time being. …… Remember, you must not let Sima Tuzi bewitch and instigate His Royal Highness King Su. Otherwise, if His Royal Highness King Su is deceived by Sima Tuzi, then the people of Sanchuan will die without a place to be buried! Got it? ”

"The last general obeys!" Feng Shu took the letter and responded with his fists clenched.

About half an hour later, Feng Shu led more than 100 cavalry from Chenggao Pass to the direction of Luodi, after all, according to Zhao Hongrun's letter, the Dangshan Army is currently stationed in Changchuan, southwest of Luodi.

But a day later, when Feng Shu and his party came to the vicinity of the land, he frowned and found that he would encounter many sheep grazing by local tribes along the way, but this time, those sheep seemed to have been moved elsewhere, replaced by a felt tent that stretched for more than ten miles.

In the process, they even encountered a cavalry of a local tribe.

There were not many people, only thirty or forty people, and it was very likely that they were sentinels who inquired about the hostile forces.

It stands to reason that the people of Sanchuan who live in the land of Luo, whether they are the Qiang people or the Shan people, will not show hostility to the cavalry of Chenggao Pass.

But the sentry made a hostile move: they sounded their horns to warn and summon friendly troops.

"Damn! Are you really seduced?'

Feng Shu scolded secretly in his heart, and did not dare to go directly to Changchuan, but turned into the nearby hills, and finally got rid of those sentry horses.

Because of such obstacles along the way, it was not until August 7 that Feng Shu led more than 100 Chenggaoguan cavalry to Changchuan.

When Chang Chuan took a look, Feng Shu was almost startled by what he saw, because he found that under the military camp built by the Dangshan Army on a low hill, under that low hill, there were actually five or six thousand suspected cavalry of the Qian tribe.

These cavalrymen, who did not know whether they were tempting the enemy or simply looking down on the Dangshan army on the low hills, rarely dismounted their horses and lay on the ground to take a nap in the sun.

In the face of such a good opportunity to sneak attack, the Dangshan army closed the camp gate, and did not see the slightest intention of going to war.

It is hard to imagine that the Dangshan Army will have a time when they will not be able to fight.

"It seems that it was really expected by the general, His Royal Highness King Su and General Sima An, this is to lure those Sanchuan tribes who are not firm in their position, so that they can be wiped out!"

Frowning, Feng Shu took more than 100 horsemen straight up the mountain, and after reporting his identity, he was led to the handsome tent by Bai Fangming, the general of the Dangshan Army, and saw Sima An, the general of the Dangshan Army, and handed over the letter of General Zhu Hai to Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su who heard the news.

And at this time, Sima An's words made Feng Shu slightly shocked in his heart, and he didn't know how to reply.

"Humph! …… It took General Feng nearly three days to deliver a letter, and it seems that the obstacles encountered along the way are not small. (To be continued.) )
