Chapter 104: Exchanging beauties for the country
Zhou Feng waited for a while before he asked lightly, "Oh?" I don't know what General Yan means? ”
Duan Lie listened to Zhou Feng's words and knew that this Zhou Feng was pretending to be confused, so he smiled before he said, "Does General Zhou really not know?" ”
"Don't sell it, you have something to say!" Zhou Feng waved his hand impatiently and shouted to this Lie, obviously he was also annoyed by this Lie's behavior.
Duan Lie shook his head, his eyes were awe-inspiring, and he said to this Zhou Feng: "Emperor Wei sent your Royal Highness King Xiang of Great Wei to serve as the commander of my Great Qin this time, I don't know what General Zhou thinks in his heart?" After finishing speaking, he showed a playful smile and looked at Zhou Feng.
When Zhou Feng heard this, his expression remained unchanged, and he explained: "It doesn't matter what the general thinks, this is the edict of His Majesty Great Wei, and I, as a general, should naturally carry it out." ”
Duan Lie listened to the words and smiled faintly: "Is General Zhou really thinking so?" Your Majesty sent King Xiang, but did not send the crown prince, this ...... What is the purpose of this, General Zhou should know it in his heart. ”
When Zhou Feng heard this, he immediately glared at that fierce and roared at him: "Bold, you little general of the Qin State dare to provoke the relationship between the two princes of my Great Wei, you should be damned!" As soon as the words fell, he raised his big knife, and if he wanted to urge him to step forward, he was about to make a gesture and cut off that section of the spirit.
Duan Lie didn't wait for Zhou Feng to make a move, but hurriedly raised his hand and shouted, "Does General Zhou want the prince of Wei to lose to King Xiang!" ”
This loud shout immediately startled Zhou Feng and stopped him from making his next move. I saw that Zhou Feng lowered his head, thought for a long time, and finally put the knife on his waist, and then raised his head and stared at that section of the spirit.
Duan Lie was a little apprehensive by Zhou Feng's cold eyes, and hurriedly said again: "If General Zhou is beheaded at this moment, then General Zhou may make meritorious contributions, but more merits will definitely be taken by your King Xiang of Great Wei, and King Xiang's merits are more and more, and his merits are getting bigger and bigger, what will your prince take to fight with King Xiang at that time?" ”
"Don't forget, this night's capture of Tongguan seems to have been done by your General Zhou, but the real mastermind behind the scenes is the king of Xiang."
When Zhou Feng heard this Lie's words, he finally calmed down, thought about the connection clearly, paused, and said again to Duan Lie: "Then I don't know General Yan, how do you want to talk about it?" ”
When Duan Lie heard this, he shook his head: "How can I talk to Nahe Xifeng and King Xiang, I can't tell you to the general for the time being." ”
"Now when I come down, what I need the general to do is to slow down the speed of the march and wait for my general to negotiate with King Xiang, if the general does not slow down, then the peace talks will not be completed."
Indeed, once Zhou Feng's footsteps reached this Hangu Pass before Yan Guang and King Xiang's peace talks, then with King Xiang's temperament, he would definitely refuse peace talks and choose to forcibly tackle key problems. And now, if you can delay the pace of this Zhou Feng, you can put the Qin army in the most advantageous position to negotiate with King Naxiang, so that the chance of success in the negotiation will be much greater.
Zhou Feng knew this, but he stayed where he was for a while, and he didn't immediately reply to this lie.
Duan Lie looked at this Zhou Feng, knowing in his heart that he must have fallen into an extremely tangled situation, and he didn't bother this Zhou Feng, just waiting for him to come up with an idea.
Duan Lie was very confident, he knew that Zhou Feng was a member of the princelings, and if he could really see the current form clearly, he would definitely agree to this request. If Zhou Feng didn't agree, then he would have to doubt whether Zhou Feng's brain was enough.
Finally, after a long period of silence, Zhou Feng nodded heavily and said in a deep voice: "Tell your family General Yan that it will be delayed for another two days, but if he can't do it after two days, Ben will have no choice but to continue marching." ”
When Duan Lie heard this, he nodded with a smile: "Two days is enough." ”
Na Mei Jingting was in front of the two armies at this time, and when he saw Zhou Feng chatting with that Duan Lie without saying a word, he had a faint bad premonition in his heart, as if he would definitely regret it if he didn't do something at this time. ,
But now that he is a partial general, he really has no way to stop or eavesdrop on the conversation between the two people, and he can only stay where he is for a while, and can only look forward to Zhou Feng coming back to tell him the content of their conversation in a while.
After a while, sure enough, when I saw that Zhou Feng bowed to Duan Lie, he turned around and urged the horse to come, and when Zhou Feng walked into the formation, he finally couldn't stop the doubts in his heart, and asked this Zhou Feng in doubt: "I don't know General Zhou, what did General Qin say to the general?" ”
Zhou Feng glanced at Mei Jingting lightly, and said slowly: "It's nothing, it's just chatting about family life." ”
When Mei Jingting heard this, he suddenly showed a suspicious look, these two people were enemies, but they talked for a long time, but now they came back and said that they were just chatting about family life, this is killing himself, and he doesn't believe it.
Zhou Feng didn't care whether Mei Jingting believed it or not, thought for a while, looked up at the dim sky, and lightly ordered: "Order the whole army, slow down and march." ”
"Why?" When Mei Jingting heard this, he was very surprised, seeing that he could reach the Nahan Valley Pass in less than a day after marching rapidly, why did he have to slow down now.
Referring to the fact that Zhou Feng and that Duan Lie chatted for a long time just now, Mei Jingting squinted his eyes and looked at this Zhou Feng, only feeling that there was a ghost in Zhou Feng's heart.
Listening to Mei Jingting's doubts, Zhou Feng turned around and said sharply: "Commander Mei, are you the chief general or am I?" ”
When Mei Jingting heard this, his face turned straight, and he arched his hand and said in a deep voice: "General Zhou, although you are the chief general in the army, if there are no special circumstances, you must not order to slow down the speed of this march. ”
Zhou Feng heard this, and the anger in his heart soared, but he didn't expect that he was the main general, but Mei Jingting still dared to openly challenge his authority, it seemed that he didn't take himself seriously at all, if he left it to make his own decisions normally, which general would dare to jump out against him?
At the moment, he was furious, and shouted at Mei Jingting: "I am the chief general in the army, I have the final say!" ”
After finishing speaking, he shouted to the other generals: "Pass my general's order, the army will slow down its march!" ”
Although the other generals looked embarrassed and hesitated in their hearts, they thought for a while, and finally came forward to convey the military order, although most of the generals were people in the military camp, and they also respected Mei Jingting on weekdays, but the military order was like a mountain, not to say that it would be changed, since Zhou Feng was now the main general, even if they were unwilling in their hearts, they did not dare to refute Zhou Feng's face, so they had to obey his orders.
Mei Jingting looked at such a scene, and finally sighed immediately, and then thought of something, and immediately ordered a general beside him: "Immediately report the situation here to His Royal Highness King Xiang, and let His Highness make plans early." ”
When the general heard this, he also knew that the current situation was very complicated, so he did not hesitate, but hurried down to do things.
Mei Jingting looked at the back of the general who was far away, sat on the horse and touched his chin, his eyes were up, and he couldn't guess his inner thoughts from the outside.
Finally, after meditating for a while, he shook his head:
"Don't let this battle for succession delay the war."
---------------------
Just after Duan Lie and Zhou Feng reached an agreement, the same wave was about to rise in the Wei army's tent outside Hangu Pass at this time.
Late at night, the Wei army camped
All the main generals of the Wei army are now gathered in the camp, and everyone's expressions are extremely solemn, only the eyes of King Xiang flashed with an indescribable strange color.
In the big tent, the generals were distributed in two columns, each standing on the side, but everyone's eyes were intersecting in the middle of the big tent, because there was a person standing there, who was a strategist under Yan Guang, named Li Kun. At this time, Li Kun was looking at King Xiang on the tent and He Xifeng on the side with a smile, calm and relaxed, revealing a look of victory.
"You mean, Yan Guang wants to ask for peace?" King Xiang held a bamboo slip in his hand and said slowly.
When Li Kun heard this, he straightened his clothes, and then said slowly: "His Royal Highness King Xiang, General Yan's original words are to ask for peace, not to seek peace. ”
"Daring, what are you, dare to talk to His Highness like this!" Before the king of Xiang could reply, one of the generals under the tent stepped out immediately, clenched his fists and scolded Li Kun angrily.
Li Kun heard the general's words, glanced at him a few times, then turned his head to look at King Xiang on the high tent and said, "Your Highness, you should also take care of this subordinate, how can this general be as presumptuous as a dog?" There is a lot of irony in the words.
When the general heard this, he immediately blushed with anger, raised a hand and pointed at Li Kun's nose and was about to scold, but before he could scold, he heard He Xifeng, who was standing quietly on the side, cough twice, and immediately kept silent, but scraped Li Kun fiercely with a pair of eyes that seemed to breathe fire.
When the general stood in the queue, King Xiang shook his head, took the bamboo slip and said lightly: "This king doesn't understand, why do I have to accept your invitation to peace, now Tongguan has been captured by our army, and the battle situation is extremely favorable to us, as long as we wait until the defenders of Tongguan come to break through your Hangu Pass, isn't it as simple as digging for something?" ”
When Li Kun heard this, he actually smiled and nodded: "Your Highness is right. ”
"Oh? Why, then, did the king grant this meaningless request? When King Xiang heard Li Kun admit it cheerfully, he was also a little surprised in his heart, so he chased after him.
When Li Kun heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said: "Indeed, as King Xiang said, it stands to reason that my Great Qin has such a request, and no one can agree to it." ”
"However, His Highness will definitely agree."
"Why?" King Xiang said with some curiosity.
Li Kun didn't answer this question immediately, his eyes rolled, and instead asked, "I heard that His Royal Highness has not had a princess yet?" ”
When King Xiang heard this, he nodded slowly and said, "It's true that I haven't married." ”
Li Kun listened to King Xiang's answer, the corners of his mouth rose, revealing a trace of arc that seemed to have succeeded in his trick, he deliberately paused, and finally slowly said a few words: "If you talk about the country, Your Highness will not want it, but if you exchange beauty for the country, will Your Highness want it?" ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked!
