Qin Liangyu was in a dilemma for a while, every time the ranger sent the message back, her heart sank a lot, the Heavenly Mandate Army was not any of the rogues she had seen before.

Since crossing the river, she has fallen into a well-prepared trap, the back road along the river has been cut off, and the upstream and downstream Zhongzhou and Fengdu are all soldiers and horses of the Liukou, and there is only one way forward.

In front of it is Huangcao Mountain, Jinhua Mountain, into the deep mountains, the white pole soldiers can give full play to their own advantages, however, these two mountains are northeast, southwest direction, although stretching for hundreds of miles, but the mountain is relatively thin, there is only one ridge, there is no criss-crossing complex structure, really want to enter the deep mountain...... She began to wonder if this was another trap for the Manifest Destiny!

The Mandate of Heaven Army is ravaging Sichuan, it stands to reason that the army will definitely intercept everywhere, the capital and the various guards, no matter how corrupt they are, in front of the rogues, the goal is still the same, is it possible to let the rogues harm their own territories?

Without any information from the Ming Army, her white pole soldiers have become completely alone, as if they are fighting in the land of the Mandate of Heaven!

Qin Yi suddenly entered the camp, "Auntie, the Heavenly Mandate Army sent a messenger over, do you want to see it?" ”

"Emissary?" Qin Liangyu smiled bitterly, "The Heavenly Mandate Army really treats itself as a character?" After a pause, he said, "Okay, let the messenger in, I want to see what kind of rogue the Mandate of Heaven Army is!" ”

"Yes, Auntie, I'll let the messenger in!" Qin Yiming saluted, turned around and went out.

After a while, a tall man who was nearly thirty years old followed Qin Yiming into the big tent and bowed to Qin Liangyu.

Qin Liangyu looked at the envoy, wearing a white felt hat, his face was handsome, but his skin was slightly dark, otherwise he would be a beautiful man who would have made his wife love to death if he was put in Jiangnan!

She smiled faintly and suddenly said, "Since you are a messenger, why don't you kneel?" ”

The envoy arched his hand, "I am the envoy, not your subordinate, Ao, Mrs. has many official ranks, the chief soldier of Sichuan, the governor of Zuodu, and the general of Zhendong...... This time it's a war, if Madame doesn't object, I'll call 'General Zhendong', right? ”

"Official titles are all things outside the body, it doesn't matter how you call them," Qin Liangyu smiled, his face still maintaining a kind look, "You dare to send an envoy, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" ”

"You won't!" The messenger shook his head.

"Why?" Qin Liangyu said: "Is it because the consolation envoy is in your hands?" ”

"No," the envoy said, "the Metropolitan Governor does not mean to threaten you with the Comfort Envoy, if you need to, the Metropolitan Governor can release him at any time, if you do not ask for release, after the war, no matter what the result is, the Metropolitan Governor will unconditionally release the Comfort Envoy!" ”

"Release? It's true? Qin Liangyu almost didn't believe his ears, and couldn't help but look at the messenger in front of him again, yes, his aura was magnificent, in front of him, he maintained etiquette, but he was not cowardly, why did such a character appear in the Heavenly Mandate Army?

"General Zhendong can rest assured, most of the governors have faith in their words," the envoy arched his hand and said: "If General Zhendong doesn't believe it, after the envoy goes back this time, he will release the consolation envoy, and then we will fight again!" ”

Qin Liangyu waved his hand, "Let's not talk about the consolation envoy, the governor of your family asked you to come to see the old man, what is it for?" ”

The envoy frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said: "The Metropolitan Governor asked me to bring a message to General Zhendong, it is better not to fight, no matter what the result is, many lives will be sacrificed!" ”

Qin Liangyu said angrily: "In this case, why did Li Zicheng rebel? ”

"It was a last resort," said the messenger, "we were all forced to rebel without food to eat, and if the days passed, who would want to do the act of killing our heads?" ”

Qin Liangyu seemed to have an understanding, nodded slightly, and said, "Are you willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light?" If you believe in the old body, the old body fights for all the titles, and you have to be well-thought-out! ”

"Thank you, General Zhendong!" The envoy bowed ninety degrees, "The Metropolitan Governor did not mistake General Zhendong, but there is never a way back in the world, and since he has embarked on this road, he will definitely not turn back!" ”

Qin Liangyu's face showed anger, "You want to entertain your old body?" ”

"Don't dare," the envoy said: "Just like General Zhendong cares about our suffering, the Metropolitan Governor also has special respect for General Zhendong, on the battlefield, the sword and gun have no eyes, the Metropolitan Governor does not want General Zhendong to have any mistakes, tell the truth to General Zhendong, before the battle, the Mandate of Heaven has never sent a messenger to any enemy, this is the first time!" ”

Qin Liangyu snorted coldly, "In this way, Li Zicheng has calculated whether the old body can win or not?" ”

"This ...... The Governor didn't say," the envoy clasped his fists in his hands and saluted, saying, "I'm just sending a message to the Governor!" ”

"Do you think that if you cut off the return of the Yangtze River, the old body will succumb?" Qin Liangyu said coldly: "There are more than 10,000 white pole soldiers around the old body, they are all experienced in a hundred battles, if you want to defeat the old body, first ask them if they agree." ”

"This ......"

"What else do you have to say?"

"I kindly remind you that General Zhendong is stationed in Mao'er Mountain, the mountain is extremely small, the food supply is insufficient, the Mandate of Heaven Army is hoarding heavy troops in Fengdu in the upper reaches and Chungju in the downstream, and the waterway ......of the Yangtze River has been cut off again."

Qin Liangyu said: "Surrounding three queyi, aren't there Huangcao Mountain and Jinhua Mountain in the northwest?" The mountains are denser, and in such a mountain, even if the Heavenly Mandate Army has more people, what can I do? ”

"Leaving a way is not actually a road," the messenger said, "The Governor of the Metropolitan has no last resort, and will not leave such a big gap!" ”

Qin Liangyu was shocked in his heart, but his face did not change color, "You mean, since the old body crossed the Yangtze River, everything is in Li Zicheng's calculations?" ”

"This, I really don't know," the envoy said: "However, the Metropolitan Governor has been in love with General Zhendong for a long time, and in order to wait for General Zhendong, we have slowed down the speed of the march, otherwise, at this moment, I am afraid that we have already entered the boundary of Kuizhou!" ”

Qin Liangyu became more and more surprised, what kind of character is this Li Zicheng? Could it be that he deliberately left a gap to allow himself to cross the river, and then swept the Yangtze River with a naval army, captured all the transport ships, cut off his way back, and then surrounded his white pole soldiers and swallowed them step by step?

If this is the case, then wouldn't the entire Stone Pillar Propaganda Division be finished?

Only in this way can everything make sense, no wonder everything has changed when you enter Jiangbei......

She suddenly realized that she had completely fallen into the trap of the messenger, so she straightened her face and said, "Why do you think that on the battlefield, the white pole soldiers are vulnerable? ”

"The Metropolitan Governor has already seen the white pole soldiers," the envoy bowed and said, "According to the Metropolitan Governor's estimate, to deal with the 10,000 white pole soldiers of General Zhendong, 5,000 Heavenly Mandate Army is enough!" ”

"Five thousand?" Qin Yiming couldn't listen to it anymore, "On that day in Liaodong, three thousand white-pole soldiers fought out five or six thousand Tartars, could it be that the combat effectiveness of the Heavenly Mandate Army is stronger than that of Tartars?" ”

"This is not what I want to convey, I just kindly remind General Zhendong that he might as well consider it himself," the envoy smiled faintly and said: "The meaning of the Metropolitan Governor is not a bloody battle, but to use 5,000 soldiers to annihilate 10,000 white pole soldiers......"

"Annihilation?" Qin Yiming was furious, he rushed forward, grabbed the envoy's collar, and wanted to lift him up, but his height was not as good as the envoy, and he used his strength twice, but it was unsuccessful.

"Yiming, don't mess around!" Qin Liangyu drank in a deep voice, but said to the messenger: "Are you trying to help the old body?" ”

"General Zhendong misunderstood, I will not betray the Metropolitan Governor, I will not betray the Mandate of Heaven Army," the messenger said: "In the Mandate of Heaven Army, this is not a secret, even the Metropolitan Governor is here, I can also say the same thing, before every battle of the Mandate of Heaven Army, the Metropolitan Governor will make a prediction, to defeat the enemy army, how many soldiers will be needed to participate in the battle, and how many casualties of our soldiers will be......"

"Ah...... How can there be such a talent? Qin Liangyu suddenly found that she had almost forgotten an extremely important question, "How long have you been joining the Heavenly Mandate Army?" ”

The envoy bowed slightly, "In the third year of Chongzhen, when the Heavenly Mandate Army was just formed, I joined, and I can be regarded as a veteran!" ”

"Chongzhen for three years?" Qin Liangyu almost exclaimed, "For such a long time, why didn't the old body know about the existence of the Heavenly Mandate Army?" ”

"That's because the territory of the Mandate of Heaven is in Xining and Lanzhou," the envoy said, "This is the first time I have come to Sichuan!" ”

Qin Liangyu said: "No wonder...... It's not right, for such a long time, could it be that the army of the imperial court will not conquer the Mandate of Heaven Army? ”

"The army of the imperial court will naturally be expropriated," the envoy's face showed a smug smile, "Cao Wenzhao and Hong Chengchou can't win, so they don't dare to return to the imperial court, and let the Heavenly Mandate Army be west of Longshan, as long as they don't harm the people, they don't bother to care!" ”

"What? The court doesn't care? Qin Liangyu was so angry that he stood up from his seat, but then slowly sat down again, such a situation is completely possible, but the combat power of the Heavenly Mandate Army is really strong enough to be arrogant? She is most concerned about Sichuan, "This time the Mandate of Heaven Army came to Sichuan, when do you plan to leave?" ”

"Leave?" The envoy said with a smile: "The Governor of the Metropolitan has been strategizing and has long been ready to come to Sichuan, so how can he leave easily?" Unless the court has the means to drive us away......"

"Not leaving?" Qin Liangyu was taken aback, the Heavenly Mandate Army was really not a rogue, "What are you going to do?" ”

"I can't answer this question only if I ask our governor," the envoy said, "I just have to summon the message, I don't know if General Zhendong agrees to dismiss the army?" ”

"Li Zicheng has a good dream!" Qin Liangyu smiled and said, "Go back and tell Li Zicheng to return my son's body to me, I am grateful to him, and when we meet on the battlefield in the future, I will also leave him a whole corpse!" ”

The envoy's face changed, and then he smiled, "The Governor's intentions seem to be going to be wasted, since General Zhendong is determined to start a war, the Heavenly Mandate Army will try with five thousand soldiers, and we will win or lose the battle?" ”

"Do you think it's in a casino?" Qin Liangyu didn't seem to appreciate it, "The battlefield is changing rapidly, and anything can happen!" ”

"Then, I have to take my leave!" The envoy saluted Qin Liangyu and prepared to get up.

"Farewell?" Qin Yi got up suddenly, "You dare to come here to entertain my aunt, and now you still want to leave?" ”

The envoy was stunned for a moment, glanced at Qin Liangyu, and didn't speak, Qin Liangyu waved his hand very elegantly, and slowly put down the tea cup in his hand, "Yiming, he's just an ordinary messenger, don't embarrass him, let him go!" ”
