Xu Huang met with the envoy sent by Hu Cai in the tent, and the envoy was very arrogant when he came in, and when he came in, he asked the main general in the tent was Tian Jing, the general of the expedition to the north. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the news he brought, and he could only tell Tian Jing alone.

Xu Huang was a little angry when he heard this, and said in his heart that this messenger was rude. Then he said: "A certain family is the chief general of the battalion with the word "Wei" under the command of General Zhengbei, Xu Huang, the general of the Han Anhan. What do you have to say to me. ”

When the envoy heard that it was not Tian Jing, he said, "When I came, my family commander Qu Shuai explained, this matter is very important, I can only tell the general of Zhengbei alone, or please send the general of Zhengbei, I will not be too late." ”

Xu Huang said angrily, "General Zhengbei is now in Anyi, here I am the commander of the first army, and you are rude as a messenger." I'll ask you again, and if you have something to say, if you don't, then don't blame me for driving you out of the camp. Xu Huang said and ordered left and right, "Come on, drag this person out for me, and beat him out with a stick." ”

When the envoy heard this, he was anxious, so he hurriedly said, "Since General Zhengbei is not here, then I have something to say." The envoy said a bunch of big truths to Xu Huang, and finally explained his intentions, it turned out that Hu Cai was willing to exchange Qi Tai for Zhang Fang.

Xu Huang felt that this was a good thing. As the son of Zhang Yan, the commander of the Montenegrin Army, Zhang Fang is naturally very important to the Montenegrin Army. Qi Tai is equally important as the vanguard of the Northern Army, and being able to exchange for Qi Tai is related to morale and the face of the Northern Army.

However, the envoy's words after that made Xu Huang a little strange, and the envoy proposed that Tian Jing must be present during the exchange of prisoners.

The envoy asked to see Tian Jing several times, which made Xu Huang more vigilant, could it be that the Montenegrin army still had some conspiracy. But Xu Huang decided to agree first, and then act at the opportunity.

Xu Huang set the time for the exchange of prisoners between the two sides to ten days later, and then asked people to hurry back to Anyi to inform Tian Jing. At the same time, the scouts were ordered to increase the search area to see if there were any ambushes in the surrounding areas. At the same time, he informed Shi Da and asked his people to quietly go north to find out the enemy situation in Binh Duong.

When Tian Jing received Xu Huang's information, it was indeed a little unexpected. Qi Tai is his eldest brother, so he naturally wants to be rescued. But what he is most interested in is Hu Cai.

In several encounters on the Hedong battlefield that day, the two sides won and lost, but Tian Jing still admired Hu Cai's scheming skills. In particular, Hu Cai set up an ambush on the ice that day, and almost made Tian Jing lose his life, if it wasn't for Li Dang's timely rescue, Tian Jing would have confessed that day. And Hu Cai, this allows you to see the situation clearly, whether it was in Pusaka that day or later in Anyi, it was impossible to defend at first sight, so he immediately made a decision and quickly retreated, which can be said to be able to afford to let go. Ordinary people don't have the courage and determination of him.

Tian Jing was most curious about Hu Cai's identity, and he had always wondered why Hu Cai was reused by Han Xian and Li Le as soon as he arrived in Hedong, and he took on the position of Sanqu Marshal. This time, Hu Cai didn't know what method he used and was reused by Zhang Yan of the Montenegrin Army, this person is really incomprehensible.

Tian Jingxin said that he would definitely return to this person this time. Let Xiao Liu lead 500 white horse guards to go north with him, and at the same time order Li Kang and Leping to lead the cavalry of the two schools to patrol near Pingyang to prevent the northern Xiongnu from moving.

After Tian Jing arrived in Linfen, the two sides changed generals as promised. The Black Shang Army really kept the contract and escorted Qi Tai out, and the Northern Army also escorted Zhang Fang out, and Tian Jing and Xiao Liu personally led the troops to exchange in front of the battle.

Both sides were very cautious for fear that the other side would cheat. But the exchange process went surprisingly smoothly. The Montenegrin army didn't ask Tian Jing if he had arrived in Linfen, and Hu Cai didn't show up, but just let his subordinates be responsible for the exchange of prisoners. The two armies were each 100 paces in front of the formation, and at the same time let go of the ropes, allowing the captives to run back to their respective teams.

When Xiao Liu Qi Tai was about to run in front of his team, he quickly took off the carved bow on his body and was about to shoot Zhang Fang, but was stopped by Tian Jing. Tell him that now is not the time for a full-scale war with the Montenegrin army, and it is better not to provoke Zhang Yan. Besides, he also wants to see what kind of fame this Hu Cai wants to make.

After Qi Tai returned to the camp of the Northern Army, he was ashamed and embarrassed. Tian Jing and Xu Huang came over to comfort him in person, telling him that Zhang Fang was cheating, and even if Qi Tai lost, it would not be a shame. To make Qi Tai feel at ease and continue to command the soldiers and horses of the former military cadet.

Qi Tai saw that his affairs were over, and his heart was much more relaxed, and then he remembered what Hu Cai had entrusted him with before leaving.

Qi Tai reported again, "Hu Cai, the second commander of the Montenegrin Army, once said to me that he intended to persuade Zhang Yan to lead 100,000 horses from Montenegro to surrender to Han, but the stakes were very high, and I hope that General Zhengbei can personally go to Linfen City to discuss this matter." If Tian Jingken goes to show that the imperial court is very sincere in this matter, the two sides can just go on and discuss the substantive matters of surrender; If Tian Jing didn't dare to go, then it would be fine, I just hoped that Tian Jing would not regret it. ”

As soon as this remark came out, Xu Huang was the first to object, and the rest of the generals also felt that Hu Cai must not be at ease, and Tian Jing could not be in danger.

Tian Jing didn't express his opinion, but just asked Qi Tai, "He Hu Cai is also an old acquaintance, what do you think of this matter?" ”

"It's hard to say this subordinate, when Hu Cai was in Hedong before, he was the third marshal of the Baibo Army, and I am the fifth marshal, so I naturally recognize him. But I must not know this person, including how he can be trusted by Han Xian and Li Le as soon as he arrives in Hedong, and I am also very strange. Moreover, he had just withdrawn to Shangdang not long ago, and as a result, he became the second commander of the Montenegrin Army, and I don't know what secret there is behind this person. But regardless of these, I have a hunch this time that Hu Cai really wants the Black Mountain soldiers and horses to submit to the Han this time. So I hope the general can have a good talk with Hu Cai, but I don't want the general to be suspected. Why don't we set another time and place, and then make an appointment with Hu? Qi Tai said.

Tian Jing smiled when he heard this, "No need, what if I go to Linfen as he said?" Back then, I led Xiaoliu to Langya alone to persuade Zang Ba not to surrender to Cao Cao, and as a result, the northern barrier of Xuzhou was secured. That's fashionable and not afraid, could it be that now my official position is getting bigger and bigger, but I am becoming more and more timid? And if Hu Cai really has a conspiracy, why should he release Qi Tai first, wouldn't it be better if Qi Tai was to blackmail us? Moreover, even if I entered Linfen, and General Xu led 5,000 soldiers and horses to besiege the city, Hu Cai could not escape in the city, and seeing that he had always acted in a bad way, he always retreated immediately when he saw that things were not good, and I felt that this person would definitely not resort to killing me and ending up together. In addition, although Zhang Yan of Montenegro is a remnant of the Yellow Turban, he may not have no intention of surrendering to Han, if Yuan Shao hadn't been pushing him too quickly, maybe Zhang Yan would have surrendered early. So I think there is at least about fifty percent certainty about this matter, so I decided to go to Linfen City in person and meet this Hu Cai. ”

After Tian Jing finished explaining the reason, Xu Huang still objected. He believes that the son of a daughter can't sit down, and Tian Jing, now as the commander of an army and the leader of the generals in Hedong, should not be easily involved. Once there is an accident, who should Hedong Foundation entrust?

After hearing this, Tian Jing knew that Xu Huang's concerns were not unreasonable, so he said to the generals: "I have gone from a horse boy under Gongsun Zhan to the position of the general of Zhengbei today, relying on the help of everyone. But it is precisely because I am the leader of the generals that I have to start from the overall situation of Hedong in everything. Now, if Zhang Yan can really descend to the Han Dynasty, it will be beneficial to Hedong and harmless. That's why I'm going, not being a hero in vain. After I go, if there is any accident, Xu Huang will be the lord of the first army in Hedong. All the generals listened to Xu Huang's orders. I have made up my mind, and you will not be persuaded again. ”

The generals did not dare to disobey the order, only Xiaoliu insisted on accompanying Tian Jing to Linfen. Tian Jing thought about it, so he agreed to let Xiao Liu accompany him into the city.

Early in the morning of the second day, Tian Jing led Xiao Liu's two horses to Linfen City, so that the soldiers and horses defending the city could pass through. After a while, the gate of Linfen was wide open. The Montenegrin army had already lined up on both sides of the city gate, and Hu Cai came out to greet him personally.

As soon as Hu Cai saw Tian Jing, he hugged his fists and saluted, "I have been defeated under the general of Zhengbei several times, but I don't want the general to be so young, he is really a hero and a young man. ”

Tian Jing returned the salute, "Hu Qushuai was too modest, and he set up an ambush on the ice that day, almost killing Tian, and I admire Hu Qushuai's strategy." Moreover, Hu Qushuai just left Hedong, joined the Black Mountain again, and became the second Qu Shuai of the 100,000 Black Mountain Army, this is a real person who does not show his face! ”

The two greeted politely for a long time, and then they arrived together at the Linfen County Ya, which is now Hu Cai's Chinese army tent. Hu Cai retreated left and right, but Xiao Liu behind Tian Jing stood straight like a gun, motionless. Tian Jing smiled, "This person is my sworn brother, and the two of us have always been inseparable, don't blame the general." ”

Only then did Hu know that Xiaoliu was Tian Jing's confidant and did not shy away from it, so he got straight to the point, "Presumably General Qi has already conveyed Hu's meaning, I don't know what General Tian thinks about this matter?" ”

Tian Jing smiled, "If the general can lead 100,000 Black Mountain troops to surrender to Han, it will be a blessing for the world and a blessing for the common people." If he hadn't paid attention to this matter, Tian Jing would not have come to Linfen in person. ”

Hu Cai answered, "Okay! The general speaks and does things really simply, I don't tell lies in front of the real person here, whether it is me or my family's Daqu Shuai Zhang Yan, I can say that I have this intention for a long time, the key is what conditions General Tian can give? I want to hear it first, so I have a bottom in my heart, and I will go in the future to report to Daqu Shuai, right? ”

Tian Jingxin said, this Hu Cai is really waiting for himself to open conditions, the so-called people die for money, birds die for food, it is always interests first, it seems that he still has to say it first, to see if he can impress this person.

Tian Jing smiled, "With General Zhang Yan's merits, I can ask the imperial court to reward Zhang Yan as the general of Pingbei and the Marquis of Guannei; General Hu can be the general of Fenwu and the marquis of Guannei. The soldiers and horses under the command of the two generals can still be led by themselves, and the old, weak, women and children in the Montenegrin army can come to Hedong to live in peace, and they are under the unified management of Hedong Taishou. I wonder what the general thinks? ”
