After Zhao Bing left again, Yang Hu thought while walking beside Qi Hou's car: "According to the current situation, Zhao Bing may launch an attack tomorrow, the army is in chaos, and there is nowhere to escape in the snow, I have to find a way to get out." ”

If Yang Hu was still a trusted guest of Qi Hou when he just went south, he would naturally be well protected. But now that he has become the target of public criticism, he is not even sure that the Marquis of Qi will suddenly kill him alive and pray for better weather.

After all, the soldiers spread the word, and they swore an oath: "It's all because Yang Hu has done too much evil in the Lu country that he provoked the anger of the local god lord, and it rained heavy snow that only happened once in decades!" “

So Yang Hu had to worry about his future: "According to the posture of the last time the Marquis of Qi was still close to me in the evening, and after listening to Bao Guo's words at night, he would tie me up and send me back to the Lu State, no matter whether I can go back to the Qi State this time, I will definitely die if I stay in the Qi army." ”

Yang Hu has also been the "governing" of the Lu State, and knows some self-evident conventions of politicians, whenever the country encounters a famine or a defeated army, in order to calm the dissatisfaction of the people afterwards, someone must take responsibility. Of course, the person responsible will not be the monarch, but will be delegated to the courtiers, when the Chu State was defeated by the Jin State twice, the battle of Chengpu Ziyu committed suicide, and the battle of Yanling died reflexively, all of which are the same.

In Yang Hu's view, this time the Qi State was defeated, and the Marquis of Qi would definitely shirk all the responsibilities after he returned, and Gao Zhang had always advocated retiring the army earlier, and he would not suffer. Then, using Yang Hu as a scapegoat is the most appropriate.

Thinking of the tragic end of being killed in the army in the future, or being killed in Linzi City with the anger of the civilians, Yang Hu finally made up his mind. He straightened his shirt. Walked to Qi Hou's wide chariot and asked for an audience again.

He had an idea. Although there are some yin damages, some adventures. But it's still possible to gamble!

Qi Hou's personal guards were holding halberds and staring at Yang Hu coldly, with unkindness in their eyes, but after Qi Hou's message came from inside, no one stopped him.

Qi Hou's carriage was large, with eight good horses outside, and thick leather was used to prevent wind and cold air from entering. The inside is spacious, with a copper furnace burning and steaming. Yang Hu felt that the frost on the tip of his nose melted in an instant, turning into sweat dripping, and there was no chill outside.

That's right, although Qi Hou pretended to be a corporal in front of the soldiers, he actually had high requirements for a luxurious and comfortable life.

It was a real coincidence that Gao Zhang, Dong Guo Shu, Li Mi and others were all kneeling in the car, as if they were discussing the military situation.

"The widow will never abandon the army!" When Yang Hu walked in. I happened to hear this.

……

Abandon the army?

Yang Hu almost didn't laugh out loud, whose bad idea was this? Of course he couldn't go, the reason why Qi Hou was safe and sound was thanks to the protection of these more than 30,000 Qi pawns. If you abandon the army and leave first, as soon as the front foot is gone, the Qi army behind will completely collapse.

And since Zhao Bing has hundreds of light horsemen. There are also "bamboo horses" that come and go like the wind on the snow, and Qi Hou does not have Hua Buzhu Mountain to go around three times this time. There is no emperor who suffers for his ugly father, and maybe the king will be captured. Laughter is tomorrow!

Qi Hou should be able to figure out what is at stake, so he flatly refused, and blasted the person who suggested it out and threw it into the snow.

But the problem is still not solved, the car is staggering, from time to time because the wheels are stuck in the snow and stop, more than 100 people push back, at this speed, this road still has to go.

Subsequently, it was Dongguo Shu and Li Mi who asked for thousands of people to break off, and Qi Hou hesitated about this, no matter when, dividing the army was a dangerous move.

Gao Zhang also disagreed, and his suggestion was that if the whole army left together, maybe the final loss would not be so great. Yang Hu could only laugh at him in his heart for being naïve, Zhao Wuxian was even more insidious and cunning than the cangjuan he hunted in Haidai in winter, how could he easily let go of any opportunity that could weaken the Qi people?

Everyone argued, and in the end, the irritable Qi Hou turned his gaze back to Yang Hu and asked angrily, "Why is Yang Zi here?" Didn't you ask the horses for food again? He really blamed all the mistakes in the decision-making of this attack on Yang Hu's suggestion when he first entered Qi.

Yang Hu bowed down and said: "The foreign minister has a plan to solve the current crisis!" ”

The carriage was silent, Qi Hou looked at Yang Hu fixedly, suddenly smiled dumbly, and his attitude took a big turn: "Yangzi has been tired for the past few days, I don't know what the plan is, and you can ask me for advice." ”

Yang Hu sneered in his heart, and said earnestly: "Now the plan, it is better to let the foreign minister go to Zhao Ying to ask for peace with the Jin State Central Army." ”

……

"Ping!?" Everyone in the carriage was amazed.

This is a tactful way of peace talks.

As soon as Yang Hu's voice ended, he was already disgusted and dissatisfied with him, and Gao Zhang reprimanded: "Please Ping? Do you think that it is still the time when you can't run more than a hundred steps, and you can't run more than three houses? Is Zhao Meng the half-crossed Song Xianggong? Now that they have the advantage, how can they accept our invitation, not to mention that you and your son Zhao Wuxian still have a holiday. “

He pointed at Yang Hu, and his words were heartfelt: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this person wants to take the opportunity to get out!" Don't believe it! ”

You're half right, Yang Hu thought to himself.

He made a weak and apprehensive appearance, the tiger's back was so stiff that he couldn't do it, and his voice trembled: "The minister's next words are from the bottom of my heart, and Gao Zi also knows that I have promoted and sheltered Zhao Qing's son Wuxi, helped him enter Lu, and gave him the position of doctor. However, this son was treacherous and colluded with Sanhuan to calculate me, causing the foreign ministers to suffer difficulties in Lucheng, but fortunately they were accepted by the king, so they survived. Zhao's heart is weak, he and Sanhuan both want to kill me and then quickly, even if the minister wants to get out, why do they want to hit the head of the Zhao family's light horse? ”

What he said was reasonable, Qi Hou listened to it, and Gao Zhang couldn't find fault with it.

Yang Hu continued: "As for whether it is feasible to ask Ping, please also ask the king to allow the ministers to come carefully. "The foreign minister met Zhao Meng at the Wazhi meeting last year and knew that he was a man of temperament and acted casually. Jun Shang knew that the Zhao family had a bad relationship with Fan and Zhongxing, and the Qi State had previously said that he wanted to attack Xilu, but Fan Ji shot and Zhongxingyin did not save it, this time the Qi State attacked the Yiyi of the Zhongxing Clan, Zhao Meng was not happy enough, how could he be an enemy of the king? Later, the reason why he fought with the Qi army was nothing more than because his son was unsympathetic. Because of the defense of the country and Punan. As long as the foreign minister is sent forward, he threatens to say that if Qi Zhao is injured. Fan and Bank of China will attack the Zhao clan in the Jin Dynasty, and Zhao Meng must be worried. At that time, it was promised that Qi would not take Xilu and Punan. The two sides can naturally turn hostility into jade. “

Qi Hou's face turned red, please be even, that is to admit defeat, his dignified quasi-overlord, there is actually a day to admit defeat to the vice secretary of the Jin State! What is the difference between that and decades ago, when Duke Qi Qing was humiliated by Jin Qing, and Cui Shu killed Duke Qi Zhuang to appease the anger of Fan Kuo of Jin Qing?

But the situation is stronger than people, Qi Hou has now lost the pride and momentum when he first broke Yiyi, and Qi Huan Gong still has the embarrassment of being shot by Guan Yiwu and pretending to be dead. And when the long spoon was defeated by the Lu people's tricks, what was it to be a female ambush? It is better to avoid the big humiliation after the defeat of the army with a small humiliation in peace talks.

Anyway, after getting out, he could turn his face and deny people, put the blame on the people who went to the peace talks, and kill him in Linzidong City to calm the anger of the people.

But Gao Zhang's words are also reasonable, but in the selection of equals, we have to consider it again.

So Qi Hou asked in a flat tone: "Please be even, but also." But since Yangzi and Zhao Wuxian are at odds, why did the widow send you to ask for peace? Maybe just you. Zhao Wuxian will be furious and kill you on the spot, so that the peace talks will fail. ”

Yang Hu looked indifferent: "The son of the Zhao family knows more than his father, as long as I am under the banner of the king's envoy." He will never embarrass me. ”

His face with a swarthy beard turned back and looked at Gao Zhang and smiled maliciously.

"Moreover, among those present. Only I have met with Gao Zi and Zhao Meng, and if you are a king, you can't trust the ministers. Why don't you let Gaozi go? ”

Gao Zhang is loyal to state affairs. It's just that he is not bold enough, and he is shocked at this time, and he wants to shirk it.

Qi Hou thought about it, Gao Zhang is now his right-hand man, and it is really difficult to coordinate the whole army without him, at this time it is too late to regret not bringing Guoxia out, it seems that except for Yang Hu, there is really no good candidate for peace.

Yang Hu said: "If the king is not at ease, just send another warrior by his side." “

Qi Hou felt justified, so he named Dongguo Shu again, and asked him to be an escort, but in fact, he monitored Yang Hu to Zhao Ying.

But before leaving, Qi Hou pulled Li Mi and whispered almost, and later, Li Mi handed over a sharp short sword to the brave Dongguo Shu, and instructed: "Zhao Qing can Xu Ping naturally best, if not, you must find an opportunity to assassinate him!" If Zhao Meng dies, Zhao Wuxian will not be able to control the crowd in a short time, and the army will be able to escape from danger when Zhao Bing is in chaos! “

Dongguo Shu was stunned: "This is what the king meant?" "Such a thing, how can you let the king be notorious, this is just that you and I are privately following Cao Mo and Zhuzhu, but do you still have the courage to go to Zhao Ying?"

This must be done by a dead man, because regardless of whether the assassination succeeds or fails, he will be executed by the angry Jin people.

Dong Guoshu gritted his teeth, looked at the life and death robe in front of him, and his answer was only eight words: "Martial arts, Gonghou Gancheng!" “

……

The wind whistled from the side of the car, and Yang Hu stood still in the face of the cold wind, although his legs were throbbing in the snow for dozens of miles before, and his head was the same. He is very weak now, maybe he is sick, but in order to get out, he still has to complete his mission.

But at least, as the envoy of the Qi people, Yang Hu was dressed decently and warmly, and rode in the same car as Dongguo Shu. This great hero of Yiyi, the tiger ben who the Marquis of Qi relied on the most after the death of the three scholars and the Wu Wuxian, was very preoccupied, and the Dongguo book was the same inside and out, it was too simple, so that what he was worried about, Yang Hu would know as soon as he guessed.

Even if he is really given to him by the Son of Heaven, Qi Hou's style is still full of stock market speculation and speculation, and he will never be able to get up, which is also a point that Yang Hu despises, how can this kind of person be worthy of being his convincing lord? "Don't worry, there won't be too many accidents on this trip." Yang Hu comforted him, this sentence came from the bottom of his heart, if things went according to his plan, he could indeed let Dongguo Shu not have to worry about anything.

When the time comes, you can tie your hands and wait for them to fall, what else do you need to worry about?

They returned along the road they had come, and the wreckage of abandoned cars and broken tents appeared on the way. There were also bodies that were frozen or wounded and died, scattered on the snow, obscured by the shadows of dark clouds.

Yang Hu sincerely hoped that he could meet Zhao Ying instead of Zhao Wuxian, he still had hope for the secretary of the Jin State who made him admire, but he only disliked and avoided Zhao Wuxian.

Therefore, the small convoy did not go to the southwest side where the cavalry was infested, but walked towards the place where the main force of the Zhao soldiers might be, and the conspicuous Xuanyao banner was erected high on the car - in fact, the attacking Zhao soldiers also had a time when their horses lost their hooves, which was a military flag captured by the Qi people. It's funny to say, just now they also prayed for the protection of Haotian and the local gods, so that they would not meet Zhao Bing's elusive ski team when they were alone, but now they would like to meet one.

Not long after they set off, they were discovered by Zhao Bing, and Dong Guoshu loudly expressed his intention after the other party shot an arrow. On the opposite side, there happened to be a Wendi soldier, who could understand the dialect of Qi State, and waved his hand to stop the attack of Paoze, which did not cause the tragedy that the Jin people thought that the other party was scolding because they could not understand Linzi's words......

So Yang Hu found that the car he was in was faintly surrounded by a group of Zhao soldiers, and slowly moved forward under their escort, and finally a rider appeared in front of him, coming on.

Zhao Bing is also currently on the move, and Yang Hu doesn't know if Zhao Ying will come to the middle ground to negotiate in person. As the distance closed, he found that the other party was a slender young general, and he stood out from the crowd on a dark horse. His copper-inlaid sand gently kicked the horse's belly, his big bow and sword hung on the saddle, and his body was a little thin from the tightened red leather armor, but the chin of a little short fluff made him energetic.

"Phew!" After the meeting, Zhao Wuxian reined in the horse and shouted: "It's Yangzi, it's really a place in life where you don't meet, a goodbye is a whole year, and the kid is afraid that he won't be able to see the face of the king again!" (To be continued......)
