However, in violation of military law, Wei Changfeng can control whether Zhu Ling's head is still on his neck.

Zhu Ling finally realized that this time he was playing too much. If he wins this game, he will certainly win big, but he didn't think about it, what if he loses? He thought that there was no need to think about this problem, everything had already been done properly, and Wei Changfeng had no possibility of turning the tables around. However, Wei Changfeng really turned the tables, and it was a big turnaround.

He said suddenly: "This official can release General Tong, and after returning to Beijing, he will immediately write to His Majesty and ask for Lord Tong to be released." The release of the child from prison is on this official. ”

After that, he looked at Wei Changfeng.

Wei Changfeng was stunned.

He thought that Zhu Ling would find a bunch of reasons, or make a big official statement, or even threaten himself as a scholar, these, he, Bai Qi and the generals have already studied the countermeasures, but he didn't expect Zhu Ling to talk about the price directly.

If according to Zhu Ling's statement, this price is acceptable, but Zhu Ling is saying so now, will he do it in the future? You can't trust this man, this person's reputation is far worse than that of the Huns.

Bai Qi watched Wei Changfeng hesitate on the side, knowing that Wei Changfeng didn't dare to trust Zhu Ling's character, he said, "How long will it take for Zhu Shangshu to return to Beijing?" How long will it take for the child to be released? ”

Zhu Ling glanced at Bai Qi hatefully, and now he fully affirmed that this vicious idea must have come from Bai Qi. But now the situation is seriously unfavorable to him, so he can only answer honestly: "I will go to Beijing within half a month, and I will release Tong from prison within a month. ”

Bai Qi nodded and looked at Wei Changfeng, the meaning was obvious: Agreed.

Wei Changfeng really didn't want to agree.

It's easy to set up such a bureau to take out Zhu Ling, once he gets out of the game, God knows what Zhu Ling will do in the future? But what if you don't say yes? Could it be that Zhu Ling was cut off if it didn't come true?

He finally nodded: "In this way, Zhu Shangshu, because you have official business, this capital crime will be sent down first, I hope Zhu Shangshu will be born as an official and benefit the people, if he can't, this handsome will chase you for today's capital crime!" ”

Wei Changfeng's words were also full of officialdom, and the reason for this was that he was afraid that Zhu Ling would break his promise and refuse to let Tong Yun go. As for Tong Haoran, he doesn't have to worry about whether he lets it go or not, if he doesn't let it go, he can catch Zhu Ling more and more at any time and cut it again, anyway, the chief guard in the barracks has the final say, I'm afraid that I'm afraid of leaving the barracks.

Zhu Ling nodded, looked around, and said with a wry smile: "Can the official go?" There won't be any more drumming tonight, will it? ”

Wei Changfeng waved his hand.

He was also anxious to send Zhu Ling away, so that he could ask Bai Qiwei why he agreed to this condition.

As soon as Zhu Lingcai came out of the account, Bai Qi immediately said: "Don't talk to anyone, I'll explain." ”

This sentence blocked everyone's open mouths, otherwise there would be a lot of noise in the tent.

Seeing that the generals were silent, Bai Qi said slowly: "Of course, we arrested Zhu Shangshu, but can we really cut off his head?" This cannot be done without being pushed to the point of exhaustion. So our goal now is first to release General Tong, which Zhu Shangshu has promised, and he is not afraid of breaking his promise, otherwise we can arrest him at any time and cut him again, and we have the final say on what is in the barracks. ”

All the generals nodded, everyone understands this truth, even if there is something they don't understand, they can understand it when they hear Bai Qi.

Bai Qijian explained this matter clearly, and then said: "As for saving Tong Shangshu, this can only be saved by Zhu Ling back to Beijing, in addition, there is no way to think about it, you will not let Zhu Shangshu repair a book here, as soon as the letter arrives in front of His Majesty, His Majesty will release Tong Shangshu, right?" ”

"But can Zhu Ling, the dog official, count?" General Li Ya asked, now he doesn't plan to call Zhu Ling Zhu Shangshu, just call it its essence: dog official.

Bai Qi smiled: "First, no matter whether his words count or not, we can only do this, we can only gamble." Second, he promised in front of everyone that Tong Shangshu would be released from prison, what would happen if this word reached the emperor? If you really want to confront it, you won't dare. ”

The generals suddenly realized.

Yes, this is not to release the military department, but the emperor's power, you Zhu Ling actually promised to go to Beijing to release, and also set a time limit, this is to seize the emperor's power, only this is the crime of killing the head and copying the family, dare to break the promise, a piece of imperial complaint, Zhu Ling's whole family will not live.

Seeing that everyone had already understood, Bai Qi said: "Zhu Shangshu understands the way of intrigue very well, he just promised directly in front of everyone, just to gain trust, if he doesn't have a handle in our hands, we can't let him go." So he deliberately gave us this handle. It's just that this matter, if it drags on for three or five years, even if it's a handle, it doesn't make much sense, and His Majesty won't have any great interest in this kind of thing three or five years ago, so I just asked him the time, and made it clear that the period of one month will be clear, if it is not released within one month, our paper will go directly to His Majesty. ”

"Yes!"

"Not bad!"

The generals chimed in.

Bai Qi yawned and looked at Wei Changfeng: "General Wei, can we disperse?" ”

Early the next morning, Zhu Ling set off for Beijing.

The line is hurried and alone.

He didn't ask anyone to see him off now, and it would be good if no one came to kill his head. What's more, he promised a month for a month, and he really had to hurry up, and with Bai Qi here, he was afraid that he would not be able to turn this disk back, so he could only take a step back to protect himself. Fortunately, he has successfully obtained the right to be the secretary of the Ministry of War, which can be regarded as a success, but he did not force Tong Yun to a dead end.

An hour later, the Han army also set off.

Although everyone was worried about whether Zhu Ling would break his promise, no matter what, the battle still had to be fought, and the military plane had been seriously delayed and could not be delayed any longer.

This time, their target was Xilin Gol, 600 miles away.

Soon after setting off, Wei Changfeng received a letter from Fang Zhenhai, in which he first reported the news that Zhu Ling might want to arrest Tong Haoran, and then asked Wei Changfeng what he planned to do. Although it was not explicitly stated in the letter, looking at the meaning between the lines, I am afraid that it was intended to cooperate with Wei Changfeng to rebel.

Wei Changfeng read the letter and immediately lit it on fire, he didn't want such a letter to fall into the hands of others. He immediately replied to a letter and ordered the messenger to send it immediately, the main thing in the letter was about the war, saying that the Northern Route Army had been dispatched, and the Southern Route Army was invited to do the same. At the end of the letter, he said "incidentally" that Zhu Shangshu had arrived, and the generals and Zhu Shangshu "had a very happy conversation", and Zhu Shangshu and General Tong "released their previous suspicions", and they were in a hurry to return to Beijing to "discuss" Tong Shangshu's matter.

In addition to the military plane, this letter is a faint statement of some facts, but I believe that General Fang can understand these statements.

After dealing with the letters, Wei Changfeng marched forward from the army, and only traveled for three days, but it rained, and Wei Changfeng saw that the rain was not small, although it was only after the afternoon, he also ordered to set up camp. This is not only difficult to travel in the rain, but also when the Northern Route Army raised its troops, the Southern Route Army had not yet moved, so the Northern Route Army should not be too fast.

Everyone set up camp, but the sky was eyed, and I couldn't cry or laugh, Wei Changfeng called the Huns to inquire, only to know that this kind of "child rain" is very common on the grassland.

The Huns called this kind of rain "children's rain", which means that the weather is like a child's face, saying that it will change, and the change is very fast, the sky is clear, and in the blink of an eye, the rain is pouring down, and you have not waited for the reaction, it will rain again and the sky will be clear.

Wei Changfeng saw that the Han army had already set up camp, so there was no need to camp again, and it would not be long before it would be dark after a while, so he simply ordered all soldiers to dry their clothes and take a half-day holiday.

Giving the order, he walked towards Tong Haoran's tent.

In the past three days, he was busy marching, Wei Changfeng really didn't have time to see Tong Haoran, but he kept thinking about Tong Haoran in his heart, he guessed that Tong Haoran must be full of worry, after all, father and daughter are connected, how can they not be worried?

After only a few steps, Tong Haoran's tent in the distance was already in sight, but someone behind him was calling him urgently.

Wei Changfeng turned his head to look, but it was An Ran, the new general of the third team.

An Ran did not have much contact with Wei Changfeng, but before the first battle with the Huns, although he was not on the front line, he supplied crossbow arrows in time, and he was really stable, and he was promoted two levels in a row these times and became the general of the third team.

Wei Changfeng had to wait for An Ran to come, not knowing what was going on in the road.

An Ran hurriedly ran over, saw Wei Changfeng from a distance, his face was happy, and he hurriedly rushed up to salute, and said: "General Wei, the last general is rude, there is a particularly important matter, I want you to instruct immediately." ”

Wei Changfeng sighed secretly in his heart, thinking that this An Ran was long-winded enough, is it okay to say anything if he has time to say this?

"Tell me, what's the matter?" He asked.

"The Huns have sent an envoy." Lian Zijie replied, "Now wait outside the camp gate." ”

Wei Changfeng was taken aback.

After fighting with the Huns for several months, there was no interaction between the two sides, but now they sent envoys, who came to sue for peace? I'm afraid that it won't, and they also know that it's useless to make peace, so what will they do? Wei Changfeng's mind raced, and he asked casually, "Where are they at the camp gate?" ”

"East Gate." Lian Zijie replied.

Wei Changfeng nodded, and was about to take a step to take a look, when he suddenly stumbled under his feet and almost fell. An Ran was startled on the side, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him, wondering in his heart, this has no pits and no hurdles, how can General Wei not walk on flat ground?

Wei Changfeng stood there and thought for a while, and said to An Ran: "Let them come to the West Gate to meet them, I will change my clothes before meeting them." ”

An Ran agreed, turned around and went to give the order. Wei Changfeng looked at An Ran's back, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Just in time." He whispered to himself.

The three envoys of the Xiongnu waited in front of the west gate for a long time, looking at the scene of the chaos in front of the door, and the three of them stood away a little, so as not to crowd together with the crowd of people.

They saw the chaotic flow of people, heard the angry scolding of the Han generals, and even saw a group of Han soldiers with crooked armor.

These people don't mean it, but they really are. The reason is simple: they just dried their clothes and came back from a relaxing trip.
