The news of Wu's attack soon spread all over the north and south of the Chu State, reaching the outside of the Saiwai.

There are rebels rising inside, and there are two million Wu troops besieging Chishui outside.

Jiuyuan City, the majestic and magnificent first city of Great Chu has experienced countless years of war, and is still firmly on the front line of guarding against enemy countries.

Meng Zhan, as usual, leaned on the old bamboo and rattan chair handmade by the old craftsman in the courtyard, sipping a pot of spirits, the cold in the courtyard was pressing, the spirits entered his throat, and his body was burning.

Meng Zhan's eyes were hazy, he glanced at the latest information handed over by his subordinates, and then said: "It seems that you have to speed up, you go and inform a few generals, just say that I will have a banquet for them tonight, and everyone must be there." ”

The border soldiers standing beside Meng Zhan did not hesitate at all, and respectfully hugged their fists and retreated: "Obey." ”

After seeing the people retreat, Meng Zhan said to the empty courtyard: "Let Meng Da come to see me and tell him that I will give him a great fortune." ”

……

The platform is original, the grass is flying, fresh and pleasant.

Zao Wou-Ki looked tired and lay in the dragon chariot, the door curtain bead jade blocked his body, and outsiders could not see the calm and indifference in his sharp eyes.

Bai Xuanye stood quietly outside the dragon chariot, without squinting, looking at the pearl jade that was occasionally blown and swayed by the majestic wind, without saying a word, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

A monarch and a minister, from beginning to end, no one took the initiative to speak.

"Ahem......"

With a gust of breeze passing by, Bai Xuanye couldn't help but feel the itch in his throat, covered his mouth, and coughed gently.

This cough is like a key to open the conversation.

Zhao Wouji's voice came from behind the door curtain: "The Xuanyi army rebelled in Jiangnan and swept the land of the three counties overnight, and the general Meng Zhan also led the border army, one of the two elites of Great Chu, to betray me in Jiuyuan County, and now Wu Guo Lu Yan personally led a million troops to attack, internal and external troubles, it is estimated that many people are beginning to sit still." ”

Bai Xuanye listened quietly to Zhao Wouji's story, and waited for him to lose his voice before he spoke: "Your Majesty is far-sighted, behind all this seems that the fortunes of the Great Chu are about to die, but behind it is the vitality that is hidden and then established, and after that, the future troubles will be eliminated forever." ”

Zhao Wou-Ki snorted: "Yes, it's a pity that there are not a few smart people, and there are too few who can see through, otherwise there wouldn't be so many stupid people secretly communicating with each other." ”

Bai Xuanye also sighed and nodded, when Lu Yan's power was coming, there were actually many ministers in the court of Chu who secretly communicated with Meng Zhan to express their goodwill, although these people did not directly express their surrender, they just wanted to leave a way back for their future, but in the eyes of Zhao Wouji, this kind of practice is rebellion, that is, damned!

"It's just that I still have the heart of a woman after all, otherwise it wouldn't be you who came this time, but Li Wenfeng."

When Zhao Wuji said Li Wenfeng, Bai Xuanye's eyes, which had always been calm, also jumped slightly, and a trace of jealousy flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Pingxi General Li Wenfeng, nicknamed Li Maniac.

This person is known for leading troops for being strict and severe, his style of marching and fighting is different from Qiu Ze'an's ruthlessness, and Bai Xuanye's stability is also different, and he pays attention to a poisonous word.

Wherever he led his troops through, there must be no grass and rivers of blood, and he would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one, and in his hands, there has never been a prisoner, and even if there is, it is in order to kill more people.

Outsiders say that Qiu Ze'an is a butcher, but his butcher's knife is only aimed at outsiders, and Li Wenfeng is not only ruthless to outsiders, but also even more ruthless to his own people, or poisonous.

His words in the army have always been true, and there is no room for a trace of opposition, when he marches and fights, even if the current saint wants to intervene, he will be ruthlessly refused, coupled with that unique and vicious style of acting, it can be said that he has enemies all over the world, but it is precisely because of this that Zao Wou-Ki is extremely relieved and trusting of him.

Even some secretly dirty deeds, Zao Wou-Ki will let him do it.

The four generals of Great Chu were: Pingdong General Qi Zhongyi, Pingnan General Qiu Ze'an, Pingxi General Li Wenfeng, and Pingbei General Bai Xuanye.

General Siping has different styles of marching and fighting, and has made countless achievements, if it weren't for the fact that the generals of the four towns above are some old generals who have also made countless meritorious contributions back then, I am afraid that the four of them would have already taken their place.

Qi Zhongyi's fastness, Qiu Ze'an's ruthlessness, Li Wenfeng's poison, and Bai Xuanye's stability.

General Siping, each with his own good tricks and tricks, these are brought together, all of which show that the high-level talents of the Great Chu military are abundant.

"If Li Wenfeng comes, I'm afraid Jiuyuan City will be a river of blood, and without March and May, the smell of blood will be difficult to dissipate." There was no other look on Bai Xuanye's pale face, but his tone was stiff, and he seemed to be resolutely opposed to Li Wenfeng coming to Jiuyuan City.

Zao Wou-Ki nodded: "Yes, I have taken this into account, after this battle, the country is empty, if you are killing people, I am afraid that it will inevitably cause panic, which is not conducive to subsequent development, so I will temporarily endure it and let you preside over this battle." ”

Bai Xuanye shook his long sleeves slightly, looked in the direction of Jiuyuan City, and muttered to himself: "The wind and rain are coming......

……

In Jiuyuan City, the general Meng Zhan personally ordered to reward the brothers who have been fighting day and night in the past few days, in addition to the eight deputy generals, the officers with slightly greater power in the army also arrived one after another, plus eight deputy generals, a total of twenty-eight people.

Because it was the time of the battle, plus the Mongolian battle, a total of twenty-nine people, all of whom were in armor, even if they drank the best military spirits, all of them had a dignified look on their faces.

Meng Da also arrived, when Meng Zhan announced his separation from Da Chu, he was used to staying alone in the barracks, depressed, he was very conflicted, on the one hand, he was the general of Meng Da who had the grace of their three brothers, and on the other hand, he was the current saint to whom he wanted to be loyal, he didn't know how to choose, so he simply didn't care, and stayed in the barracks every day and got drunk.

And today, Monta came, which made everyone present feel strange and curious, but they didn't dare to ask anything.

There are not so many rules for the night banquet in the military camp, Meng Zhan sat on the main seat, looked at the people sitting on both sides, and said with a smile: "Everyone eat and drink well tonight, and there are still a few pots of good burning knives later, I will let people send them one by one, which is considered to be a reward for everyone." ”

There have been drunkards in the barracks since ancient times, and when they heard about burning knives, many people's eyes lit up, and Meng Zhan had a few pots of burning knives that had not been drunk for many years, but they knew it clearly, and it seemed that they could get over it today.

Thinking about it, the generals still raised their hands to express their gratitude, and shouted in unison: "Thank you, General." ”
