Snowflakes began to fall in the dawn of time and space, finely broken, not much, like residual snow blown down by the wind from the roof, but Chai Yue did not dare to be careless: the negotiation site was more than ten miles away from the Chu army, in case of heavy snowfall, the line of sight was blocked, and it would be difficult for the rear to get news in time.

Chai Yue immediately made adjustments to the Chu army on the north bank, which was originally three miles and one outpost, but now it has become one mile and one outpost, which has continued until less than five miles in front of the Hun camp, and the message is transmitted regularly without interruption, and the Huns naturally have to make the same adjustment, so it has been delayed for some time.

It was almost noon, Han Ruzi finally rode across the river, with only ten guards, and the generals sent them to the river, Chai Yue sent a little more way, until the Hun sentry objected, he stopped, looking at the general of Zhenbei far away.

The snow had stopped, and the sky was still gloomy, Chai Yue had checked it many times before, and he was very accurate about the location of the tent, so that he could barely recognize its appearance under the gray sky.

The sentries of the two armies are all in groups of three, riding horses, separated by more than ten paces, and are not allowed to carry any weapons on their bodies, and there are two sentry lines, which are north-south and east-west, which are exactly crossed at the location of the negotiation tent, and if there is an abnormality in either direction, it will quickly spread to the camp of the army.

When Chai Yue returned to the south bank of the river, the snow began to fall in the air again, this time he no longer hesitated, when he came to the Zhongjun tent, it was already snow, looking at the north bank, he could only see three or four miles away.

The Chinese army tent was built on the old site of Liusha City, Chai Yue turned around and looked at Lingnan, tens of thousands of Chu troops were in full array, and more than a dozen simple wooden bridges built in advance were lined up, and they could be lifted to the frozen riverbed immediately with just one order, adding multiple river crossing channels.

The riverbed opposite Quicksand City was already flat, and yesterday it was covered with a lot of wood chips, and the cavalry could rush through it with little slowdown.

In short, when necessary, more than 80,000 Chu troops could cross the river at the fastest speed and fight the Huns.

"Peace!" The sentry's cry was transmitted from a distance, reaching the front of the Chinese military tent, and a soldier beside Chai Yue suddenly shouted, he was slightly startled, and his first reaction was to turn his head to look at one of his guards.

This is the guard specially arranged for him by General Zhenbei, telling him to take him with him every inch until General Zhenbei returns safely.

Chai Yue nodded to the guards and stepped into the tent.

Meng E followed, as long as she didn't say too much, no one would be able to recognize her true identity, and her task today was very simple, which was to protect Chai Yue's safety.

In the tent of the Chinese army, the others have already arrived.

Liu Kunsheng, the commander of the Northern Army, sat on the main seat, his waist was straight, and his expression was grim, but that's all, he used this look to warn everyone not to talk to him as much as possible, and he himself didn't want to speak.

Han Tong, the left general, and Feng Shili, the right general, sat on both sides, all bowing their heads, like guests who had been forcibly invited in, and from the moment they sat down, they were thinking about what excuse they would find to say goodbye.

Han Tong's lower hand sat Chai Zhi, although his position was low, he was the only one with his head held high and his eyes flexible.

Behind each stood a guard.

Chai Yue's position was in the right general Feng Shili's hand, the folding stool had been set up, he nodded to Liu Kunsheng and the others, and after sitting down, he turned sideways to the door, not only to see the snow outside the tent, but also to avoid looking at Chai Zhi.

More than a dozen generals were separated.

The tent was unusually quiet, and the shouts of the sentries on the other side could be clearly heard.

"General Zhenbei is in the account, safe!" The voice from the other side was heard, and the soldiers outside the tent repeated it.

The King of the East Sea arrived at this moment, with dozens of guards, all of whom were stopped outside the tent, he walked into the tent alone, and smiled at the five generals who had seats, "It's really a cold day, and the snow is so heavy, why don't you preclude the peace talks?" ”

The King of the East Sea has a unique identity, has the title of king, is the younger brother of the general of Zhenbei, but does not have any military position, since he made a mistake in guarding the Broken Iron City, he has lost the power to lead the army, but he is not subject to anyone's control.

The other four people didn't squeak, and Chai Yue had no choice but to speak: "Every step of the peace talks is not easy, General Zhenbei hopes that the peace talks will go on as usual, and the Huns have not raised any objections." ”

The King of the East China Sea nodded approvingly, turned to look at the other side, "Why are there no hostages in this peace talks?" ”

Chai Yue said patiently: "At first, it was said that hostages would be exchanged between hostages, but later General Zhenbei felt that it was unnecessary. ”

"Hey, he's so bold."

Chai Yue coughed, "The Huns wanted the King of the East China Sea as a hostage, and General Zhenbei refused because of this." ”

The King of the East Sea stopped squeaking.

No one has been carrying him to the fold, and the key is that he doesn't know where to put it.

The sound of the sentry announcing safety was heard as usual, and it was clear that there had been no progress in the peace talks ahead.

Chai Zhi got up slowly, the calm atmosphere in the tent changed subtly in an instant, Liu Kunsheng, who had always maintained his majesty, lowered his gaze, but the left and right generals raised their heads in unison, and the king of the East China Sea turned around abruptly and retreated to the side with a smile.

A general got a hint from Chai Zhi and walked to the door and lowered the thick curtains, blocking out the voices of the sentries on the other side of the river, and only the shouts of the soldiers outside the door could still be heard.

Chai Zhi walked to the middle, nodded to Liu Kunsheng first, and then said loudly: "It's past noon, if the Chu army still wants to defeat the Huns before dark, it should send troops now." ”

Chai Yue immediately stood up and saluted Liu Kunsheng with a fist, "The peace talks are still ongoing, and the Huns have no abnormal movements, so the Chu army cannot send troops." ”

"Otherwise, the Huns obviously want to use the peace talks to sneak attack the Chu army, and the Chu army must not passively meet the battle, but must strike first."

"The Chu army strikes first, what should General Zhenbei do?"

Chai Zhi finally turned around and looked at his half-brother, "If the Huns attack first, what should the Chu army do?" ”

"According to the plan, there are 10,000 Chu troops on the other side, slightly closer to the place of peace talks than the Huns, as soon as the Huns have an abnormality, they will divide their troops into five roads, four ways to resist the Huns, and rescue the general Zhenbei all the way."

"Very well, then let's assume that the Huns have already attacked."

"No, that's a last resort, it's too risky, you have to ......"

Chai Zhi waved his hand to interrupt Chai Yue, "How can you defeat the Huns without risking it?" Could it be that the 100,000 Chu army is just watching the excitement from the other side? Liu Duwei, you are the general of the palm print, say something. ”

"Hmm...... It's hard for me......"

Chai Zhi laughed, "It's simple, aren't there five generals here, everyone makes a statement, whether to attack or wait, and make a decision quickly." ”

Liu Kunsheng was still hesitating, and the king of the East China Sea at the door took two steps forward and said with a smile: "This is a way, Junzheng Chai Zhi advocates attacking, and Chai Yue advocating guarding the official city advocates waiting, left and right generals, tell me your opinion." ”

Han Tong and Feng Shili humbled each other, and the King of the East China Sea pointed to Feng Shili, "The right general is respected, so you should say it first." ”

Feng Shili got up, pondered for a while, and finally spoke: "I suggest waiting, the Huns seem to be quite sincere about this peace talks, but they are also very well prepared, the Chu army has not yet formed a situation of encirclement of the Huns, and if they attack rashly, although they will win a battle, they will not be able to completely annihilate the enemy army, and it will be more troublesome in the future." ”

Chai Zhi was silent with a cold face, and the King of the East China Sea said to Han Tong: "It's time for General Zuo to make a statement." ”

Han Tong got up and nodded to everyone in the tent, "The peace talks are very good, but they have not been allowed by the imperial court, and the peace talks are ...... Can it be done? The 100,000 Chu army has gathered in the Broken Iron City, and according to the practice of Great Chu, it should be bold to attack, but ......"

Han Tong was about to retract his attitude a little, but Chai Zhi interrupted him: "General Zuo has already stated that the two of them will fight, and the two will wait, and it will still be up to Captain Liu to make a decision." ”

Liu Kunsheng had no choice, he also stood up, pondered for a long time, and said: "The imperial court has not had a holy decree for a long time, and at this time, the frontier Chu army is under the command of the general. He paused for a long time, "General Zhenbei is assigned by the general, and the governor of Shenxiong Pass and Broken Iron City is the commander of the 100,000 Chu army here. "Another long pause," General Zhenbei had made a plan in advance, and it could not be changed unless there was an accident. ”

Although he did not say it explicitly, Liu Kunsheng's opinion was already very clear, and he advocated waiting, unless the Huns made a change, the Chu army could not cross the river.

The King of the East Sea stretched out his arms, "Since Duwei Liu said so, then let's wait." ”

As several generals spoke, the sound of safety outside the tent sounded on time, and there was no fall.

Chai Zhi was not surprised by this result, he lowered his head and laughed, and turned to the more than ten generals on both sides, "Look, I told you a long time ago that the safety and fame of the 100,000 Chu army are not as good as a young and ignorant Zhenbei general, and the prestige of Great Chu has been lost by the incompetent!" ”

With such an open provocation, everyone's faces changed, and Liu Kunsheng's face turned pale, "Chai Junzheng, as a law enforcement general, pay attention to your words." ”

Chai Zhi sneered, took out a piece of paper from his arms, held it in his hand and said loudly: "This is the secret order left to me by the Great Sima Champion Hou of the Northern Army before leaving, allowing me to act at the opportunity and take back the Great Sima Seal from Liu Duwei's hands!" ”

Everyone was shocked again, Chai Yue and the King of the East China Sea were even more surprised, they didn't expect Chai Zhi to have such a trick.

Liu Kunsheng said angrily: "Secret order? Where did the secret order come from? ”

Chai Zhi beckoned to a military official, "Send the secret order of the champion Hou to the generals and Liu Duwei to see, and recognize the handwriting and seal." ”

The military officer stepped forward quickly, took the paper with both hands, read it himself, nodded, and handed it to General Zuo Han Tong first, Han Tong only glanced at it, and immediately said: "This is indeed the secret order of the champion Hou, Liu Duwei, you should hand over the Great Sima Yin." ”

Liu Kunsheng stretched out his hand to ask for a secret order, but the military official was Chai Zhi's person, holding the paper to show others first, and finally sending it to the captain of the Northern Army.

Chai Yue and the King of the East China Sea also saw it, but they couldn't find a flaw, Liu Kunsheng was speechless for a long time after seeing it, and his eyes swept over everyone's faces, looking for someone who could stand up at this time.

The right general Feng Shili spoke, but he was no longer a supporter of General Zhenbei, "The secret order is true, Chai Jun is the chief general of the Northern Army from now on, I take back my previous words, only Chai Jun is the first to pay attention." ”

Chai Zhi turned around, disdainful of his younger brother Chai Yue, and looked at the King of the East China Sea, "What is your opinion?" ”

The King of the East Sea laughed a few times and retreated to the door, "Champion Hou left his post without permission, and the Great Sima of the Northern Army has long been at the end, so his orders are naturally invalid." ”

The king of the East Sea turned around and ran out of the tent, ready to shout for help, but as soon as he lifted the curtain, he was bumped in by someone outside.

Zhang Yanghao led several people to enter with knives. (To be continued.) )
