(a)

The two sides of the quarrel: Morick, the king of Donghu, and Mour, the new king of Xiaoxian.

Mour's face was already flushed.

"Your Majesty, I absolutely cannot agree!" He shouted loudly, "You let your people go to their deaths, but let our elite soldiers watch the scenery here? I don't know why you want to give such an order, but since you have appointed me as the commander of the whole army of the Little Virtuous King, you should tell me how to give the order, instead of giving such an order without me! ”

Morrick shook his head and sighed, "Let our elite soldiers see the scenery?" How many soldiers do we have? Have you figured it out? ”

"Our 3,000 elite soldiers are stronger than 100,000 people!" Moyur's voice was still not small, "We are only 3,000 people, but we will fight to the death!" ”

"And then we all died." Morrick replied indifferently, "You don't even have to wait for the Han army to attack." Do you really know how many people from the Geya tribe outside of Ludao City are waiting to enter the city to take revenge on us? ”

Mowuer was stunned for a moment, and his voice immediately fell: "Then you can't let the people die." ”

The muscles on Morrick's face twitched: "Most of them are people from other tribes, you know this." If we don't send them to death, they will attack us with the Geya tribe. Moyur, you have forgotten the brutal battle between the tribes, but they may not have forgotten. ”

Moyer could only sigh.

It has been nearly a hundred years since the unification of Donghu, and His Majesty the King still remembers the tribal dispute! But since the king mentioned this, he was helpless, although he thought that these people could resist the Han army to the death, and there were definitely no two, but what the king was thinking about was not whether the people had two hearts, but that it might not be possible to threaten the royal power in the future. Now that the people of the Quguo tribe have dispersed, after several battles, the young men of the Quguo tribe have been killed and wounded, and the king is worried about being counterattacked by other tribes, but he can only express his understanding, but even if this threat is lifted, will the Han army not come?

Moygur looked at the king and asked, "May I ask Your Majesty, what should we do after the people are killed?" Do you attack or defend to the death? This time he was determined to make it clear that although he was now the supreme commander of the whole army, the king had crossed him to order the people to attack, and he did not want to play a game of darkness again.

"Hold on." Morrick replied, "No one is allowed to step out of the gates of the city without my command, and not to release an arrow outward." ”

When Mowuer heard the first half of the sentence, he could only shake his head, and after listening to the second half of the sentence, he jumped up.

"Your Majesty!" His voice was louder again, "How can you defend it without releasing an arrow outward?" ”

"You just have to do what you command." Morrick replied, "I have my own measure. ”

Moyer didn't want to say a word.

He's really funny when he is a little virtuous king, he doesn't go through him when he gives orders, he doesn't discuss with him if the order is unreasonable, is he a little virtuous king or a squad leader?

Of course, he himself knows that if it weren't for the death of the big and small kings, and the entire army was scattered, not to mention the commander of ten thousand soldiers, the commander of the thousand men had run out, where did he have the position of Xiaoxian King, and he, the Xiaoxian King, only had a total of three thousand soldiers and horses, which still counted the three hundred palace guards directly controlled by the king, but since he was the Xiaoxian King, he had to seek his own government in his position, and now like this, didn't he treat him as an ornament?

He was originally enthusiastic, and when he saw that everyone else had run away, he saw the king swear allegiance in person, so to speak, from the bottom of his heart to defend the king and die with the country, but now, the king seems to be just a mouthpiece and an executive officer. In that case, what else has he to say. He said that he wanted to live and die with the Donghu Kingdom, and he did it, but how to deal with the enemy, let the king have the final say, anyway, no matter how he fights, it will be a death, even if he fights well, he will not live for half a day.

He turned and strode out, and since that was already the case, he was killed in battle in the city.

"Wait a minute." Morrick suddenly remembered something, and stopped Mowur and ordered: "I have sent someone to redeem Nina, if Nina returns, please let her in, and if there is a Han escort, let her in, but you must not bring weapons." ”

Moyer's eyes lit up suddenly.

By blood, Nina is Morrick's niece. But Nina and Morik have always been on good terms, so Morrick has always had no feelings for Nina, whether Nina is dead or alive, Morrick doesn't care at all, just as Nina doesn't care whether Morrick is dead or alive, but now, Morrick actually sent someone to redeem Nina, there must be other considerations here!

"Your Majesty, what do you mean......" Mour's gray heart warmed up again.

"I mean, don't forget to release them when the time comes." Morrick repeated.

Moyer turned and left.

He called his hot face a cold ass, and people didn't plan to tell you what he was doing this for, what else do you ask? Do you really think of yourself as a little virtuous king?

Morrick looked at Mour's back and shook his head.

There were some things he couldn't say, especially to Moyghur.

(2) In the Han military camp, the debate was also ongoing.

The crux of the debate is: whether to let Wei Changfeng send Nina into the Twin Cities.

After Nina relieved the people of the danger of being slaughtered, the Han army moved forward and approached Shuangcheng the next day. However, fifty miles away from the twin cities, an envoy from the king of Donghu came to meet him, asked for the redemption of Nina, and said that the king was willing to use Nina as an intermediary to negotiate peace, and the conditions were very reasonable: first, to ensure the safety of the king and his family, second, to ensure the safety of those who surrendered, and third, to ensure the safety of the people, then the king was willing to surrender the city. But there is one that you must ask Nina to enter the city to believe.

According to Fang Zhenhai's meaning, this condition was rejected in one bite. Let Nina enter the city, what if Nina is killed? But Nina agreed to this request, and the prince also said that the request was reasonable, although Fang Zhenhai should listen to the prince on this issue, he still insisted on asking the prince to say what was reasonable. You must know that this is a big responsibility, how can I agree casually if you don't explain it.

During the period of the prince and the princess, Ai Ai couldn't say why, but Nina made it clear in one sentence: "I entered the city to persuade him to surrender." If he really doesn't kill me, won't you find a second person to be the king of Donghu? ”

Fang Zhenhai was convinced.

As far as the king of Donghu is concerned, he must not feel at ease to let Nina outside, God knows if Nina wants to kill him, if Nina enters the city, it will be against the Han army, whether it is killed, the guards of 3,000 people in the twin cities, the Han army will not be able to take it? As for Nina, she is just a puppet that the Han people want to support, if she is really killed, won't it be over if she changes it?

This matter was not harmful to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and with the consent of Nina and the prince-in-law, Fang Zhenhai had neither the responsibility of not carrying out the order, nor the moral burden - except for Nina.

But Nina's request made Fang Zhenhai embarrassed.

Nina asked Wei Changfeng to enter the city with her.

Because according to Donghu custom, Nina has not been redeemed yet, and if the master does not move, the slave cannot stay away from the master. Now Nina is going back to Donghu City, but the master is in the Han camp, which means that Nina is running away, which is a great shame in Donghu customs.

Fang Zhenhai could not care about Nina's life, but if he wanted him not to care about Wei Changfeng's life, it was absolutely impossible. This time, his answer was extremely resolute: "No." Not negotiable. I can respect Donghu customs for other things, but this matter, not respectful. ”

Seeing that Fang Zhenhai was so decisive, Nina proposed a compromise plan: the Han army camped on the spot, informed the king of Donghu, and each side sent people to march twenty-five miles to redeem Nina with property in the middle of the two cities, and the money was brought back to the Han camp by Wei Changfeng, and Nina followed the Donghu people back to Shuangcheng.

Fang Zhenhai was quite satisfied with this plan, and nodded: "That's okay." In this way, General Wei will lead the men and horses of his headquarters to go, and then exchange at twenty-five miles. ”

Nina disagreed.

"General Wei is leading the troops? That's a slave robbery, alas. General Fang, you can disrespect the customs of Donghu, but you should rotate as a soldier and change someone else to escort the troops? I don't ask you to respect the customs of Donghu, I only ask you to raise your soldiers, okay? ”

Fang Zhenhai thought about it too. Not to mention the customs of the Donghu people, you are the master, and you take 10,000 people to lead your slaves to exchange, is that robbing people or exchanging? Nina only asked for a different team escort, which had no effect at all, which was indispensable.

"I'll let General Zhao go." Fang Zhenhai looked at Zhao Zi'an, "Your troops are next to the third team, so it's easier to dispatch." ”

Zhao Zi'an nodded and said with a smile: "The third team always takes the lead, this time let's let the fourth team take the lead, and the soldiers of the third team have a good rest."

Wei Changfeng smiled, thinking that he couldn't help but accept this feeling, no matter what, Zhao Zi'an was his boss, so he simply passed the order in front of Zhao Zi'an and ordered the third team to repair for a day.

After the plan was completed, Fang Zhenhai sent the Donghu envoy to report back and agreed to meet twenty-five miles away in two hours, and ordered each to act separately.

Nina returned to the tent and packed her clothes, took all the three hundred Donghu retinue, and followed the fourth team of 10,000 soldiers with Wei Changfeng to march twenty-five miles away.

Twenty miles forward, I saw a horse running towards me, but it was still the envoy of Nadonghu, and the envoy reported that the king was waiting for him five miles away with fifty men, without weapons.

Wei Changfeng and Zhao Zi'an looked forward, and sure enough, five miles away, there were dozens of people faintly. Wei Changfeng said with a smile: "In this case, we are afraid that we will not be able to take 10,000 people with us, General Zhao, please order 50 people for me to bring." ”

Zhao Zi'an had a worried face, shook his head and said: "What he said may be true, but who knows if there is an ambush in the four corners of the road?" ”

Nina chuckled and asked, "What are they ambushing for?" ”

Nina's meaning is obvious, even the soldiers are gone, what to ambush?

Zhao Zi'an still shook his head: "Fifty of us don't take weapons, they only need to ambush a hundred people." ”

It seems that Zhao Zi'an would rather be overly cautious than overly careful, if there is a mistake in such a task, his problem will be big, he turned his head and ordered: "The whole team will spread out for five miles left and right, search the left and right sides, and prevent the enemy from appearing." ”
