There are many nobles in the Northern Army, and several generations of generals abound, here, it is not only the level of the position, but also the foundation of the family lineage, and sometimes, even the great Sima does not instruct his subordinates.

Liu Kun was promoted to the lieutenant of the Northern Army, but he was the deputy of the Great Sima, according to the convention, the Great Sima was not in the camp, and the Commander was in charge of the whole army, but going back to the top, the Liu family only had two generations in the army, and his grandfather was a farmer.

Liu Kunsheng can do it, he has served as a palace guard for many years, and he can not say a word for several days in a row, although he is not respected, he is quite trusted by his boss.

So, he watched the Great Sima Champion Hou quietly leave the camp with a small entourage, watched the generals flying in front of him, watched the messenger sent by General Zhenbei ask for help, and watched everyone arguing......

He doesn't say anything, no matter how much he thinks in his heart, and doesn't let them pop his head until a new guest arrives.

Fang Daye and Zuo General Han Tong came at the right time, the news of the death of more than 100 noble sons had just reached the Northern Army, the generals were full of righteous indignation, and vowed to avenge their brothers and nephews, but the means were different, some refused to send troops, and wanted to kill the enemy by the hands of the Hun cavalry, and some people hoped to go to the Broken Iron City immediately, and bring the surviving children back to the Guannei first, and other things would be talked about later.

As Han Ruzi expected, although it was the king of the East China Sea who sent Xungui's children to death, the Zhenbei general bore more hatred, it was he who brought the Xungui camp to the Broken Iron City despite his opposition, it was he who insisted on leaving Xungui's children in danger when the enemy was present, and he was also the brother of the king of the East China Sea, the fight between the two was little known to outsiders, but they felt that their relationship was very close.

Like Liu Kunsheng, the taciturn lieutenant of the Northern Army, General Zuo Han Tong also preferred to stay away from all disputes, in the Chinese military tent, the two were humble to each other, and both hoped that each other's palm prints, and dozens of generals would argue fiercely and even speak wildly as if the two did not exist.

"Emperor Heng's two sons are hopeless, the palace has long wanted to get rid of them, but they didn't announce it, let's kill these two bastards, there is no merit!"

Fang Daye sat on the side, listening quietly as a guest, occasionally drinking a cup of tea and pouring himself a drink, although he had come with Han Tong all the way, he never expected to get help from this clan descendant, he was waiting for this quarrel to come to light.

Quarrels can't go on forever, some people will be persuaded, some people will be subdued, and there are people who are simply tired and willing to accept any outcome, as long as everyone can shut up.

At last a general had the upper hand, and he had more supporters at first, and in the process of arguing, he gathered a group of people, and gradually gained the upper hand, and with the strength of the numbers, he threw several of his most stubborn opponents out of the tent, and freed up his hands to deal with the two generals who were not more than humble.

His name is Chai Zhi, the younger brother of the Marquis of Hengyang, the uncle of Chai Yue and Chai Yun, and is now the head of the Northern Army, in charge of military law.

Chai Zhi strode in front of Liu Kunsheng and Han Tong, stretched out his hand and pointed to the side, "Please go over there and talk." ”

Han Tong's face was slightly red, but Liu Kunsheng was indifferent, smiling and nodding, for who took the first step and humbly conceded for a while, and really walked to the side with General Zuo and continued to discuss who should hold the seal.

No matter how bold Chai Zhi was, he didn't dare to take the seal, and he didn't need the Great Sima Seal.

After Han Tong and Liu Kunsheng got out of the way, Fang Daye was exposed in front of Chai Zhi, and dozens of generals came over and stood behind Chai Zhi, eyeing each other.

"What do you call Your Excellency?" Chai Zhi spread his legs, held the knife in his left hand, and pressed his right hand on the belt.

Fang Daye stood up slowly, "Under the command of General Xia Zhenbei, General Fang Daye." ”

"Fang Daye? Are you the ...... Housing Daye? ”

"I haven't heard of any other big real estate business."

Although Fang Daye is not from a family, but he has been in the army for a long time, and has made great achievements in the frontier, he was famous for his bravery when he was young, and his courage did not decline after he was old, and he dared to rob the savior in the capital, although he failed, his reputation was not small, especially in the Chu army, many people had heard of his name and deeds.

Chai Zhi's expression softened slightly, and he nodded slightly, "General Zhenbei has a bit of eyesight, and he chose Your Excellency as a general." Your Excellency came from the north of the Saibei and saw the Huns? ”

"Seen?"

"Are there really 100,000 people?"

"After several battles, the Huns suffered some casualties, and the remaining at least 80,000."

"What about Chu Jun?"

"There were more than 27,000 people, excluding casualties, plus reinforcements in the later stage, there were still more than 31,000 people when I left."

Chai Zhi glanced back, "There are 50,000 people in the northern army, and if you rush to the broken iron city, you will be able to be evenly matched with the Huns, and with the strength of the Chu army, you will definitely win a complete victory, but it is a pity that the troops are not enough to encircle and annihilate the Huns." ”

The generals said yes, and some people asked: "Don't the Huns have no backup?" ”

"It's winter, where will the Huns get food and grass to support more troops?" Chai Zhi himself answered this question and turned to Fang Daye, "Your Excellency is a veteran, who has made military merits and violated the royal law, so he just gives us a little advice: how much military function makes up for the crime of killing the prince's son and grandson?" ”

Han Tong, who was standing on the side, made a stirring spirit, and was more resolute, refusing to accept the Great Sima Yin no matter what.

When the generals were arguing, Fang Daye heard it clearly, knowing that Chai Zhi and others were going to kill General Zhenbei and the King of the East China Sea, and then defeat the Huns to atone for their crimes.

"Hmm-" Fang Daye thought seriously for a while, "Military merit can atone for sin, but killing the prince and grandson for no reason is an unforgivable crime, and no amount of military merit can redeem it." ”

"Killing without a cause is unforgivable, but what about 'for a reason'?" Chai Zhi asked coldly.

"It depends on what the 'reason' is, if you catch up with the time of the imperial court to employ people, the atonement may be a little higher."

Chai Zhi turned to face the generals again, "I will come up with a suitable reason, Da Chu has constant internal and external troubles, and it is the time for the imperial court to reuse my generation to calm the world." He paused, "Champion Hou has arrived in the capital, with him, what is the inredeemable sin?" ”

If this was a group of ordinary generals, Chai Zhizhu would not dare to say such things in public, and everyone would not be convinced, but these people are different, not only nobles, but also nobles in power, and well-informed, even if they are far away from the capital, they can feel the wind and rain in the court in advance, which gives them the courage to do great things.

Others just want to stay out of the matter, Liu Kunsheng, who is from an ordinary background, is like this, and Han Tong, a child of the clan, is no exception, the foreign surname Xungui can choose to support a certain party in the midst of chaos, but the descendants of the Han family will inevitably be subject to too much suspicion, the champion Hou showed enough trust in Han Tong, but Han Tong still didn't dare to show his face, and firmly pressed the big Sima Yin in Liu Kunsheng's hands, but he refused to accept it.

There was only one thing that Han Tong expected, he thought that Fang Daye was a close confidant of General Zhenbei, but he didn't expect that the old general not only did not speak for General Zhenbei, but nodded to the plan of Chai Zhi and others.

Chai Zhi took a step forward, "Your Excellency is a veteran of the Chu army, and he is also a body of guilt, and he intends to follow the Northern Army to make meritorious contributions, or do you want to be loyal to the Lord like he did with the prince of Qi?" ”

Chai Zhi and the others had already had murderous intentions towards the envoy sent by General Zhenbei, but it was entirely because of Fang Daye's reputation that they did not act immediately.

"I am a Fu in the Qi State, I was appointed by the imperial court, so I naturally have to be loyal to the Lord, General Zhenbei gave me the title of a general, and I have never been recognized by the imperial court, he is not the 'lord'. I am only loyal to the Great Chu, and to the soldiers of the Chu army who resisted the Huns and waited for reinforcements in the broken iron city. ”

"The whole army set off, and immediately go to Shenxiong Pass and Broken Iron City!" Chai Zhi gave a direct order, and then said to Fang Daye: "I want you to write a letter to General Zhenbei, saying that reinforcements will arrive soon, so don't worry." ”

"Okay."

"Don't say anything else."

"I've got reinforcements, and I don't have anything else to say." Fang Daye was very cooperative.

Chai Zhi walked in front of the two "Seal Pushers" again, glanced left and right, Han Tong immediately took two steps back, he had suffered in Shenxiong Pass, and the last bit of courage in his heart had been exhausted, he would rather be ridiculed than take responsibility, "Liu Duwei's palm seal is the arrangement of the champion Hou, I would rather die than take the seal." ”

Chai Zhi was more satisfied with Liu Kunsheng, and he didn't want to change people, "Captain Liu, give the order." ”

Liu Kunsheng was helpless, "This ...... Now that everyone has made a decision, I have nothing to say, whoever will write the order, I will seal it. ”

Several military officials stepped forward, spread paper and ink on the bookcase, Chai Zhi dictated, and another person wrote, Liu Kunsheng held the big Sima seal, with a helpless face, and inadvertently met Fang Daye's gaze, and immediately turned his head to look away.

Fang Daye's face was expressionless, but there was no helplessness in his eyes.

On the third day of the departure of the 50,000 Northern Army, Han Ruzi led all the remaining soldiers of Shenxiong Pass to go out of the pass to the Broken Iron City, at the same time, the king of the East China Sea was restless about the news that had just arrived from the capital, Chai Yue stood on the ruins of the quicksand city and looked at the Xiongnu camp from afar, trying to guess the details of the Huns, and his heart became more and more uneasy.

In the camp on the other side, which stretched for dozens of miles, Jin Chuiduo stepped on the broken snow and broke into a tent, and the guards at the gate respected her quite respectfully and did not step forward to stop her.

The tent was covered with felt carpets, more than a dozen copper braziers were placed everywhere, baking a spring mood in the tent, a fat old man leaned on the bed, surrounded by several concubines, and more than 30 people on the opposite side were sitting or standing, all of them were Hun generals and famous kings, and Da Shan Yu talked very happily, laughing from time to time.

As soon as Jin Chuiduo came in, the conversation stopped, and all the generals and kings looked back one after another, and Da Shan Yu said with a smile: "Welcome my daughter, are you still used to living?" Is there something missing? ”

Da Shan Yu spoke Xiongnu language, Jin Chuiduo could only barely understand, and stepped forward to say in the Central Plains dialect: "My daughter is fine, there is only one question: Da Shan Yu wants to negotiate peace with the Chu army, but the frequent transfer of officers and soldiers in the battalion, what does it mean?" ”

Someone translated her words to Da Shan Yu, Da Dan Yu couldn't help nodding his head, and quickly gave an answer, Jin Chuiduo didn't understand, and looked at the translator.

The Hun translator said: "Da Dan Yu said, the Chu people are cunning, the Huns should learn this, there must be peace talks, but they must also be ready to fight, the Huns have no way to retreat, they must seize a piece of horse grazing land from the Chu people before the snow exceeds their knees." ”
