The waters of the Yellow River are surging.

There is a bridge and no walking, Wang Xiaojie has to take a boat.

Standing at the bow of the boat, blowing a cold river breeze from the north, the feeling in his heart was like this muddy and turbulent river, difficult to calm down.

When the boat was about to arrive at the shore, Wang Xiaojie saw an old acquaintance on the shore leading a horse, obviously waiting for him.

There were still a few steps offshore, Wang Xiaojie suddenly jumped into the water and rushed to the shore, pressing the old acquaintance to the ground and beating him fatly. The left hook and right hook fist and the big ear scraper were pumped continuously, as if to vent all the anger and resentment accumulated in the recent period.

The old acquaintance just covered his face with both hands, neither dodging nor resisting, which made him feel happy. It wasn't until his nose was blue and his face was swollen that Wang Xiaojie gasped and stopped his hand and pulled him up from the ground again.

Several of the entourage pawns on the ship were motionless, and they were all stunned - how could General Wang fight Ashina Zhongjie?

Ashina Zhongjie nosebleeds. Wang Xiaojie tore a corner of his clothes and barbarously blocked his nostrils, then opened the parchment wine bag and poured the wine on the wound on his face and nose.

Blood, wine, and the mud and sand on the banks of the Yellow River were all mixed together, making Ashina Zhongjie a big flower face.

"Hahaha!" Wang Xiaojie pointed to Ashina's face and laughed.

Ashina Zhongjie snatched the parchment wine bag in Wang Xiaojie's hand, and drank the wine inside in a few sips.

"Let's go!" Wang Xiaojie led his horse over and wanted to put the reins into his hands.

"Where to go?" Ashina Zhongjie asked subconsciously.

"Go back to the capital!" Wang Xiaojie said, "Isn't this exactly what you want?" ”

Ashina Zhongjie pursed his lips with a ashamed face, and whispered: "When I return to the capital, I will definitely die." ”

"Wang Xiaojie is still alive, you can't die."

Wang Xiaojie grabbed his hand and flicked his fingers, allowing him to hold the reins.

Ashina Zhongjie was stunned for a long time and muttered, "Do you hate me, Xiaojie?" ”

"Hate, hate to death." Wang Xiaojie took a long breath, "The brother I care about the most helps outsiders take away my military power." Can I not hate? ”

Ashina Zhongjie's eyelids drooped and fell silent.

"It's best now that Xue Shao can win this battle. Otherwise, ......" Wang Xiaojie paused and didn't say any more, but changed his words, "It doesn't matter if you win or lose, I will join him fiercely after returning to the court!" ”

Ashina Zhongjie remained silent.

"But I'll keep you from dying." Wang Xiaojie said, "As long as Empress Dowager Wu nods, I am willing to exchange anything with her." ”

"Why?" Ashina Zhongjie asked.

"Brother! We are brothers! Wang Xiaojie turned over and got on the horse, patting the saddle back of Ashina Zhongjie's saddle, "It's not early, can you go?" ”

Ashina Zhongjie turned over and got on his horse and said, "They don't know about you. ”

"So, I only have a brother like you!"

In the Tiger Division's camp, Xue Shao convened the generals for the first time.

Some generals said that it is taboo to change commanders in battle, and at this time our army should not fight, and it is advisable to retreat to Fengzhou to defend the city, so as not to lose.

This is obviously in Xue Shao's army.

Because everyone present knew that Xue Shao would definitely not give up Nuo Zhenshui. At this moment, the servants and the subordinates of the Tongluo tribe, who had finally been re-assembled, were climbing over Yin Mountain in a panic.

"That's a good point. So now, we can't start a fight with the Turks. Xue Shao replied.

"But Wonjin definitely doesn't think so." The ministry will continue to attack, "He will definitely seize this rare opportunity to launch a large-scale attack on our army!" ”

"He won't." Xue Shao replied calmly and with a smile.

"How so?" The generals asked together.

"Instead of launching a surprise attack, he will retreat and retreat, giving me enough time and space to be fully prepared." Xue Shao said.

The generals looked at each other, obviously no one believed Xue Shao's words. They even sneered, which is not an exaggeration to describe it as a sneer.

"That's the end of today's discussion." Xue Shao stood up, "At this time the day after tomorrow, please come to the meeting on time, there must be no mistake!" ”

The generals did not say a word, and walked out of the tent one after another.

At this moment, their antipathy towards Xue Shao, a "foreign invader", had reached its peak. Several generals even discussed privately that they would simply have a mutiny and tie him up. Before General Wang has gone far, let's go and get him back to regain military power!

But there are also those who say that there is no need to rush. Xue Shao boasted that the Turks would not attack and would move their camp and retreat. The day after tomorrow, at this time, we will see the results. If not, it's not too late to mutiny!

This proposal was approved by the generals, so it was finalized in private.

Xue Shao returned to his camp.

The dozens of Qianniu Guards were still wearing uniforms and standing guard outside Xuanyunzi's tent. It's neat and neat, and it's quite mighty.

Xue Shao looked a little amused, walked over and asked, "Whose command are you?" ”

"Back to Young Marshal Xue, we are Cheng Boxian, the general of Zuo Qianniuwei, under the command of General Cheng!" The guard replied.

Xue Shao was slightly stunned, "So, is it a real guy?" ”

All the guards laughed.

Xuan Yunzi walked out of it and said, "General Cheng has to take me back to Beijing to hand over the order to the Queen Mother, but I don't agree." He insisted on not giving up, and in the end, I had to accept the guard he had forced to stay. ”

"It's a good job." Xue Shao couldn't help but smile, good you Cheng Boxian, this matter is still hidden from me!

"Please Young Marshal Xue, talk in the tent." Xuanyunzi sent out an invitation.

Xue Shao smiled, "Okay." ”

Some guards couldn't help but laugh, Xue Shao's face was blank, "What are you laughing at?" We're here to discuss official business! ”

So the guards stopped laughing.

Xue Shao suddenly felt that he was so stupid, it was okay if I didn't say this, but if I did, I would be suspected of covering my ears and stealing the bell.

Xuan Yunzi was just Wan'er, "Young marshal, please!" ”

The two walked into the tent, and Xue Shao said in the first sentence: "That order, can it still be true?" ”

"Of course it's fake." Xuan Yunzi smiled indifferently and said, "Thousands of miles away, how can I have time to go back and forth and ask for such an order?" ”

Xue Shao frowned slightly, "You planned it?" ”

Xuan Yunzi smiled mysteriously, "What do you think?" ”

"Ashina Zhongjie is not so smart, let alone so bold." Xue Shao said.

Xuan Yunzi smiled but didn't answer, sat down and poured a cup of tea for Xue Shao, "Young marshal, please use tea." ”

Xue Shao breathed a sigh of relief, sat down and took a sip of tea.

"The top priority is how you can win the trust and support of the tiger generals in the shortest possible time." Xuan Yunzi said, "Other things are not important. ”

Xue Shao nodded, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: few people can prioritize their kung fu and practice it so well. If Xuanyunzi is born into a man, whether he is in politics or leading soldiers, I Xue Shaogan will be a green leaf as her foil!

"Do you have a solution?" Xuan Yunzi asked.

"Yes." Xue Shao also put aside his distracting thoughts and said, "I plan to give Yuan Zhen a good gift." There is a way to take people's hands short. With my advantage, he will temporarily withdraw from the army and not come to embarrass me. ”

Xuan Yunzi was curious, "What kind of gift, such a magical power?" ”

"Of course it's one, he has to accept it, but after accepting it, it's very uncomfortable, a special gift!"

In the early morning of the next day, Xue Shao sent one of his own subordinates as an envoy to deliver a letter of his own hand to Yuanzhen's camp.

After lunch, the messenger returned, and instead of embarrassing him, Yuan Zhen gave him a good horse as a thank-you gift. And replied that he could accept Xue Shao's proposal.

So in the evening, Xue Shao took a flag bearer to unfurl his own Xue character flag, and then rode a horse and led a horse out of the camp.

On the horse he was leading, sat a Turkic Ye Hu with his hands tied behind his back.

"Xue Shao, are you really going to let me go like this?" After walking out of the barracks for more than 100 steps, he couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, let the tiger go back to the mountain!" Xue Shao said with a smile. Smiled calmly.

"I will definitely repay your kindness today with a hundredfold hatred!" ”

"Ho, that's exactly what I was expecting!" Xue Shao smiled more calmly.

"What's going on in your mind?" "If it was just to humiliate me, you've already done it!" ”

"At most, I have only interest, and I want to humiliate Gu Lulu and Yuan Zhen." Xue Shao replied indifferently, "You? Sorry, I'm really not interested! ”

"You! …… You!! "I'm angry. If he hadn't been tied, he really wanted to jump off the horse and fight with Xue Shao.

Xue Shao laughed, "Don't be impatient." I advise you to think about it, how to face Yuanzhen and your Khan brother after you go back! ”

He gritted his teeth so hard that he couldn't speak anymore.

After walking a few miles, Xue Shao stopped. The flag envoy raised the Xue character banner high.

A moment later, a large red wolf-headed banner appeared on the horizon ahead. Three horsemen came running.

"Yuanzhen!" Duxilu screamed in surprise.

"And now you believe it?" Xue Shao smiled, and said in his heart that Yuanzhen only came with three horses, a flag envoy and an attendant.

He began to look around non-stop, looking nervous.

"Don't look at it." Xue Shao said, "I didn't set up an ambush, and neither did Yuan Zhen. ”

"You two ......" Halfway through speaking, he was suddenly speechless, and only hated in his heart: Two freaks!

Horses are running.

Xue Shao and Ashide Yuanzhen slowly approached, their horses' heads staggered to a stop, facing each other, looking at each other.

"Young Marshal Xue, Yuan Zhen came to the appointment." Wonjin's opening remarks.

"I also did as promised, and brought Ye Hu. Now, hand it back to you. Xue Shao waved his hand, and the flag bearer led the reluctant horse forward and handed the person over.

"Thank you." Yuan Zhen nodded and smiled, as if there was no follow-up. But he also stood still, and didn't seem to have any intention of leaving immediately.

"Apodagan, why don't you bring soldiers and horses and kill this person in front of the battle, so as to get rid of the khanate's henchmen!!" After he was untied, he screamed angrily.

"Send Ye Hu first, and go back to the camp to rest." Yuan Zhen gave the order, and his attendant led the horse to Lu Xilu's side.

He gritted his teeth with hatred, and had no choice but to turn over and ride on his horse, and go first with the attendant.

Now, only Xue Shao and Yuan Zhen are left, as well as two flag envoys, and two red boss banners waving in the wind.

"You and I have been fighting for so long, but this is the first time we have met." With a peculiar smile, Yuan Zhen said to Xue Shao, "Thank you for the meeting gift you gave me." I also have a gift here, for you. ”

"Then I'll thank you in advance." Xue Shao also replied with a smile.

Yuan Zhen took a small package from the saddle and threw it to Xue Shao. Xue Shao caught it, a little heavy.

"What is this?"

"The caramels in the south of the Yangtze River, the fruits in the Western Regions, the roast sheep in the desert, and the milk wine I brew myself." Yuanzhen smiled, "Uchiko said, our wedding banquet deserves your share!" ”
