When Han Ruzi was still on the road, there was a mess in Shenxiong Pass.

Zuo Cha Yu Shi Xiao Sheng carefully prepared everything, but the opponent ran away in advance, and there was nowhere to vent the anger in his chest, if this was the capital, if the opponent was a senior minister, he might be able to endure it, at least on the surface, but this is the remote Shenxiong Pass, the opponent is a teenager, surrounded by a group of soldiers......

Everything made Xiao Sheng angry, even the generals who were co-opted by him looked hateful, and no one found out about such a big thing as General Zhenbei's escape back to the capital, let alone reminded him.

Xiao Sheng turned around in place, his eyes fell on Chai Yue, for this "Chai family", he had spent the most energy - of course, the so-called "most" was only compared to the tens of thousands of soldiers in Shenxiong Pass, an hour's banquet, plus half an hour of persuasion, for a small nameless general, this was definitely a high glance - but Chai Yue deceived him.

"The Chai family is a rebel." Xiao Sheng said through gritted teeth.

Chai Yue bowed slightly to Xiao Sheng, after so many things happened, Xiao Sheng actually wanted to use the "Chai family" to blackmail and lure him, it was really incredible, Chai Yue knew his family's character best, and he knew very well in his heart that from the moment he was unwilling to do his best to assassinate General Zhenbei, he was destined to not get the understanding of the Chai family.

"Since General Zhenbei is not here, it is time for Lord Xiao to be the governor of Shenxiong to pass the border military affairs." Chai Yue said politely.

Liu Kunsheng's scope of responsibility is only in the Northern Army, more than 10,000 miscellaneous troops, and coordinating the supply of grain and grass in the surrounding counties, which are not under his control.

Xiao Sheng laughed angrily, and suddenly saw several Hun envoys in the crowd, and stretched out his finger to the past, "You guys, what are you doing here?" ”

The Huns glanced at each other, walked out of one person, and arched their hands: "We have been invited to continue peace talks with Da Chu." ”

Someone next to him whispered to remind Xiao Sheng: "This is Jin Chunzhong, the second son of Guiyi Hou." ”

"Another traitor, a traitor." Xiao Sheng said coldly, unintentionally lowering his voice, "You were invited, who invited you?" ”

Jin Chunzhong's face was slightly red, but he still stepped forward and said, "At the invitation of General Zhenbei of Great Chu." ”

"General Zhenbei is the biggest traitor!" Xiao Sheng couldn't bear it anymore, "The peace talks are over, no, there are no peace talks at all, General Zhenbei has made peace talks privately and committed the crime of collaborating with the enemy." And you, all of you, who fled before the Huns, were guilty of the same crime as the surrendered enemy. If you want to atone for your sins, kill the Xiongnu envoys now, go out of the pass, defeat the Huns, kill them, capture them, raise the prestige of the Great Chu State, and make the Hun cavalry dare not approach the border pass again! ”

If it was before winter, these impassioned words would have aroused a lot of fighting spirit, but now it can only make the surrounding soldiers look at each other.

Chai Yue stepped forward and said: "The Huns have gone north and gone to the valley to spend the winter, and the Chu army is short of food and grass......"

"Grain and grass are just an excuse, you are all deceived by the general of Zhenbei, the Huns are going north, go to chase now, there is not enough grain and grass, and it will be requisitioned immediately."

Chai Yue was stunned and said: "It's winter now, the grain reserves are insufficient, and the nearby counties have been levied several times, so that the people are not able to make a living, in a hurry, how to levy it?" ”

"Chai Yue, you are no longer a general, come here, escort him down, send him to the capital by car, and be convicted by the Ministry of War."

Several officers walked towards Chai Yue, took two steps and then stopped, because there were too many people behind Chai Yue.

Everyone stood on the street in front of the Yamen of Shenxiong Pass, Chai Yue had his back to the north and facing south, and there were a large number of soldiers standing behind him, so dense that they could not see their heads, and on the steps of the Yamen, there were some soldiers who were also standing on Chai Yue's side.

Xiao Sheng turned around to look, he attracted a lot of people, a cursory look, not less than the other side, but the morale was insufficient, the people on the other side were already holding knives, but his people were all panicked, as if they were retreating.

Of course Xiao Sheng is not convinced, if the one with more people can win, then what else does the Great Chu Imperial Court do? Why did he fight so hard to climb up?

"This official is Zuocha Yushi Xiao Sheng! Appointed by the Metropolitan Governor's Office and the Ministry of War, I have come here to take over all the Chu army, and I also have a personal letter from the Great Sima of the Northern Army, asking the generals of the Northern Army to obey the orders of this officer. Xiao Sheng did have such a letter, took it out of his arms, and held it high in his hand.

Liu Kunsheng, who was beside Chai Yue, said: "What did the Great Sima of the Northern Army say in the letter? Master Xiao read it and listened. ”

Xiao Sheng had this intention, opened the letter, and read aloud: "All the soldiers of the Northern Army listen to the order: the Great Sima of the Northern Army, the champion Hou Shiminger and others attack the Huns and bravely kill the enemy......

The letter is very long, to the effect that the northern army must defeat the Huns, not to retreat, not to listen to the bewitchment of outsiders, the great Sima Yin is transferred to the military Zheng Chai Zhi is in charge, Zuocha Yu Shi is the champion Hou cronies and important ministers, Chai Zhi and others must obey the orders of Lord Xiao, Yunyun.

The news of Chai Zhi's death has not yet reached the capital, and the champion Hou has high hopes for him in his letter.

After the letter was read, Xiao Sheng said to the generals: "General Zhenbei's return to Beijing is tantamount to throwing himself into a net, if you don't stop the precipice, you will end up with him." I might as well make it clear that the Holy One is seriously ill and dying, and the Champion Marquis will soon succeed him to the throne, and his order is the Holy Decree......"

Chai Yue asked, "Champion Hou will definitely be able to ascend the throne?" ”

Xiao Sheng hated this person the most, and sneered: "Of course, otherwise, why did I come all the way from afar?" The general trend of the capital has been decided, maybe the champion Hou has already ascended the throne at this moment, and the holy decree is on the way. ”

The street is not a court, and the soldiers are not Wenchen, Xiao Sheng's reaction is fast, he understands that he must use direct and simple words to impress these people, so as to lay the victory in one fell swoop, he has already missed the abolished emperor, once the champion Hou hears the news, he doesn't know how angry he should be, he must make meritorious contributions as soon as possible to protect himself.

These days, news about the new emperor has been quietly circulating in the army, and Xiao Sheng is the first to publicly bring it up, and everyone is not particularly surprised.

Chai Yue walked up the two steps, stood higher, and said loudly: "Lord Xiao said that the champion Hou will definitely ascend the throne, but I am stupid, but I have a doubt: the champion Hou is the great Sima of the Northern Army, and the soldiers of the Northern Army are all his arms and minions, but he did not transfer the Northern Army to the capital to help, but frequently ordered the Northern Army to attack the Huns and fight an unwinnable battle, why?" ”

Xiao Sheng was about to open his mouth to explain, but Chai Yue said again: "Lord Xiao once told me personally that the Southern Army has returned to Beijing and will assist the King of the East China Sea to become emperor, yes or no?" ”

Xiao Sheng sensed Chai Yue's intentions, and was speechless for a while, regretting revealing the news before.

Chai Yue provoked everyone's doubts, especially the news of the return of the southern army to Beijing, which made the northern army angry, the southern and northern armies have always been at odds, once the southern army supported the new emperor, the northern army no longer had a good life, but at this time, the champion Hou ordered them to go north to attack the Huns, and they were getting farther and farther away from the capital.

"Champion Hou will not treat the Northern Army badly!" Xiao Sheng shouted, waving the letter in his hand, "As long as you defeat the Huns, the champion Hou Zi will reward everyone heavily......"

Chai Yue stepped on the highest step and stretched out his hand to point at Xiao Sheng, "Lord Xiao, on the way to Shenxiong Pass, who did you get the Great Sima Seal from?" ”

"There is no need for this official to answer......" Xiao Sheng glanced left and right, and found that he had to answer this question, Chai Yue's words were too demagogic, and even the people behind Xiao Sheng began to talk one after another, "I got the Great Sima Seal from the King of the East China Sea." ”

This is not new news, many people have known about this matter for a long time, Chai Yue just wants to mention it again in public, "The southern army has returned to Beijing, and the person who is ready to assist is the king of the East China Sea." Lord Xiao claimed to have come to Shenxiong Pass on the order of the champion Hou, but he had a good relationship with the opponent of the champion Hou, may I ask Lord Xiao, is it true or false that the government and the opposition are talking about Lord Xiao only Cui Taifu is the first to look forward? ”

Xiao Sheng was shocked and angry in his heart, three days ago, he lost to the young deposed emperor, and now he is about to fall into the young general's trap, he has already seen Chai Yue, why didn't he see that this submissive Chai family was a wolf?

"I have a letter from the champion Hou...... Xiao Sheng firmly grasped the last straw.

Chai Yue was ready to stab the last sword, "The facts couldn't be clearer, the champion Hou has been placed under house arrest in the capital, and even killed, Lord Xiao is not here at all on the orders of the champion Hou, he is on the orders of Cui Taifu and the King of the East China Sea!" There is only one purpose, to send the northern army to the battlefield, destroy the northern army with the hands of the Huns, and eliminate the worries for the king of the East China Sea to ascend the throne! ”

"Nonsense! Framed! Xiao Sheng was so angry that his voice trembled, "I have a handwritten letter from Champion Hou, you fools, Champion Hou can convince the Southern Army to ......"

It would be superfluous to say anything, Chai Yue had already persuaded all the soldiers on the street.

"The Northern Army is not going to send them to death!"

"Avenge the champion!"

"Back to Beijing! Back to Beijing! "The screams are getting louder and louder.

Xiao Sheng's defense was completely swallowed up, and he angrily tried to grab a few people and force them to listen to him, only to be unceremoniously pushed away.

Liu Kunsheng and the others looked at Chai Yue in surprise, they knew that Chai Yue had been prepared, but they didn't expect him to be able to defeat Zuo Cha Yushi so thoroughly, and they didn't expect that the reason he used to persuade the soldiers of the Northern Army was not General Zhenbei, but the champion Hou!

Chai Yue walked down the steps and said to Liu Kunsheng: "Duwei Liu, are you going back to Beijing?" ”

"When, of course." Liu Kunsheng palm print, the order to return to Beijing can only be given by him, "but for what reason...... And what about Kamio-pass? ”

"The northern army returned to Beijing, and the rest of the people guarded Shenxiong Pass, where the grain and grass were not enough to feed the northern army for a long time, and there were several granaries on the way back to Beijing, which could be eaten. As for the reason--"Chai Yue looked at Jin Chunzhong," the Huns sent an envoy to negotiate peace with Dachu, and the northern army escorted the envoy into Beijing. ”

Liu Kunsheng was at peace in his heart, for him, conforming to the will of the army was the best choice, and he only had one question left: "What about General Zhenbei?" ”

Chai Yue smiled: "This is exactly General Zhenbei's strategy. ”

Liu Kunsheng suddenly realized: General Zhenbei doesn't want to be the first bird at this time, and the champion Hou and the king of the East China Sea, the southern army and the northern army, should be the protagonists of the battle. After being transferred back to the Northern Army in the name of Champion Hou and angering this great Sima who was far away from the Northern Army, General Zhenbei would have a chance to fully control this army. In this process, Chai Yue acted as a "liar" and did not affect the prestige of General Zhenbei.

In the abandoned temple outside Baiqiao Town, Han Ruzi and Meng E are watching the cavalry on the official road, this is his most vulnerable moment, as a force that can affect "thousands of miles away", the northern army is still marching on the road, "within ten steps", he only has Meng E.
