The night is boundless and the breeze is cool. {}

The sound of fighting on Siping Mountain at night, the bursts of firelight, piles of bonfires and patrol fire handles, illuminate the entire Siping Mountain for dozens of miles as if it were day. Within ten miles of the mountain, the Wu army set up eighteen company camp fortresses, which can be described as well-defended.

Even Chen Jun, who is invincible and invincible, and is the best at tackling fortifications, seems to be at a loss in front of this. After hundreds of thousands of Chen troops camped twenty miles away from Siping Mountain, the emperor of the Chen Dynasty personally went to the front of the battle to persuade him to surrender, and then there was no movement, and it seemed that he was really waiting for Shen Luoyan to lead his troops to surrender.

The two armies faced each other, but they seemed to be very quiet and peaceful. Except for the squad of armored cavalry that patrolled in front of the two armies from time to time, otherwise it really made people think that it was just a hunting game.

On Siping Mountain, the soldiers of the Wu army gathered together again.

"Your Highness, are you really thinking about what Chen Pojun said?" Seeing Shen Luoyan, who was on the top, seemed to be thinking about something on his mind, and looked restless, Du Fuwei couldn't help but speak up.

"Oh." Shen Luoyan raised his head, his eyes swept over the generals coldly, and he suddenly chuckled: "This palace thinks that the conditions that Chen Kefu said are not bad, what do you think?" ”

"Your Highness, don't fall for Chen Pojun. We are just subordinate generals, and we can descend to Chen, but our palaces cannot descend. Chen Dang exhorted loudly.

"Why?" Shen Luoyan said softly, but her true thoughts could not be seen on her face.

Chen Dang sighed and said: "Your Highness, don't you remember the king of Goguryeo, as well as Li Jing, Xue Shixiong, Li Yuan, Li Mi, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande and others?" These people are all heroes of one side, and they are all defeated by their soldiers, but how many of them were able to do it in the end? Chen Kefu is the most insidious, and he likes to settle accounts after the fact. At present, in order to achieve a quick solution, of course, he can open any conditions, and he can agree to any conditions. But Your Highness really believes it. Even if there is nothing to do for a while, there will still be no escape from liquidation in the future. ”

Chen Dang has not said some words directly, although the Shen family and the Chen family have been married for several generations. Seven emperors of the Chen family married five empresses of the Shen family, but the more so, when the Shen family betrayed the Chen family. Chen Kefu's hatred for the Shen family will also be deeper. Even if Chen Kefu wanted to stabilize Jiangdong, he would definitely pull the Shen family out and purge them in the end to make an example of Jiangdong and deter Jiangdong.

What Chen Dang didn't say in his heart was that he also had the blood of the Chen family on his hands, and he had followed Shen Faxing over the years, and in order to force Chen Shen to be obedient, he had done a lot of dirty things. Now if Chen Kefu is lowered, then how can he still survive after liquidation.

Du Fuwei, Shan Xiongxin and other generals also raised their hearts to admonish. Whether these generals are public or private, they have no better choice. Like Shan Xiongxin. At the beginning, Chen Kefu recruited him several times, and gave him a handwritten letter, but he didn't surrender. Instead, he surrendered to Nan Chen. Now let him descend Chen Kefu again. How is this possible.

Shen Luoyan sat on it and only smiled slightly, but her eyes contained an unknown meaning. However, when the last generals were against surrender. Her eyes were finally getting brighter and brighter.

"Please Your Highness refuse Chen Kefu's proposal, and the ministers are willing to lead their troops to fight to the death and never surrender!" The generals in the hall knelt down in unison and shouted loudly.

Seeing this, Shen Luoyan stood up and laughed loudly.

Suddenly, he pulled out a bright long sword from his waist, slashed off the corners of several cases with a swing of the sword, and said loudly: "Since all the generals insist on fighting to the death and not surrendering, then from today onwards, those who dare to speak out will be dealt with as the crime of disturbing the hearts of the army, and if there is such a case, it will not be forgiven!" ”

"Wait for the death battle!"

Shen Luoyan's actions immediately unified the military hearts of the generals. Although there must be many of them who are unwilling to fight to the death, and there are people who are half-hearted. But under her performance, the crowd will have to show their hearts in public. In this way, even if you have an idea in your heart, you can't express it. In order to boost morale, she immediately ordered to give wine and meat, reward the three armies, and all the turnovers immediately made the morale of the originally gloomy and worried battalion rise a lot. …,

On this night, in the mountains and forests dozens of miles east of Siping Mountain, a small army of more than 300 people was crossing the forest and mountains.

More than 300 people were dressed in black night clothes, all dressed lightly.

However, the leader is a few strong men, and there is a kind of external coercion on each of them.

When the first big man had a hideous purple scar on his face, the big man was holding a two-handed big sword, and suddenly waved his hand to signal his subordinates to stop moving.

"What's wrong, Governor?" A younger man stepped forward and asked.

is called the governor of Jiangxi, Hu Hai, who is temporarily waiting for sin.

Hu Hai climbed a big tree in a few steps, looked to the west for a while, and then jumped down and said, "Okay, we have reached the ridge, and then we will reach the source of Qingxi after ten miles over the ridge." ”

"Governor, do you think this plan will work?"

Hu Hai grinned, but the smile was very hideous: "Of course it can be done, this is a plan set by His Majesty himself, you say that Your Majesty has made a move, when has it not succeeded?" ”

Another man also smiled, but it was Xu Shiji. Xu Shiji looked at the backpacks carried by the three hundred soldiers, and his face couldn't help but show a solemn meaning, which contained awe.

"Generals, you're all here, I think you might as well go back here. For the rest, we'll do the trick. ”

Su Lie immediately nodded: "General Chengyi, General Chengli, General Chen Feng, General Chen Shan, and General Ke Enemy, this incident was provoked by our Jiangdu commanders, Your Majesty gave us this opportunity to atone for our crimes, how can we pull a few more generals into the water." I was already very reluctant to go to a few generals before, so I won't trouble you if I go. ”

The other big men are Li Chengyi, Li Chengli, Chen Feng, Chen Shan, and Chen Kedi, these generals, except for Feng An's father and daughter, the leading generals of this Jiangdong attack are basically here.

These generals, including Hu Hai Dauchi, are basically one side guard, and the lowest is a commander and envoy-level general from the third grade. Such as Chen Feng, Chen Shan, Hu Hai and others are the generals of Yuanzuo who are all spoken by the emperor. At this time, they were all here, and they were still carrying more than 300 people, which was obviously a secret operation.

Among the generals, the only general below the third rank is Chen Kedi, the official position of the leading official of the imperial guard who came to pass the decree is only six grades, but after these days of fighting, everyone has long agreed that this young general is only one word different from the emperor's name. He smiled and said: "Everyone has long been brothers in life and death who have lived and died together, why do you still say such things, how many military sects refuse to treat us as brothers?" ”

"Of course not, of course not." Hu Hai hurriedly shook his hand, everyone here is not an idle person, not to mention that everyone is a little closer to Jiangdong after this incident.

"That's it, we've all passed through the previous nine deaths, what are we afraid of in this last level? What's more, there is nothing dangerous for us to go, what is there to worry about. ”

"Okay, just think it's my Hu people, the Jiangxi Commander and the three of us owe you a favor." Hu Hai didn't say anything more, nodded to everyone, and after finally checking the equipment he was carrying, he touched the darkness again and walked down by the moonlight.

Daqing Creek is a small stream that originates in a valley south of Maoshan Mountain. Along the foot of the Maoshan Mountain Range, it flows all the way. It's not a big stream, but the water is clear. More importantly, this stream flows right after Siping Mountain, and the daily drinking water of more than 100,000 Wu troops stationed in Siping Mountain comes from this stream.

Because there was an entire mountain range in front of them, and eighteen companies and battalions guarding the passage, Wu Jun was not worried that Chen's army would suddenly detour behind them. And if it was just a few squad scouts or something, it wouldn't be able to do anything to the entire battalion, so behind Siping Mountain, there was no defensive force except for thousands of rangers patrolling and guarding. …,

"Stop." Hu Hai waved his hand again, and the team stopped again.

"That's it, in front of you is the twenty-mile warning range of the Wu Army's rangers. Do it! ”

As his words fell, more than 300 soldiers of the Chen Army quickly opened their backpacks. The backpack was opened, and each soldier pulled out a clay altar from it.

"Let's do it!" Xu Shiji said a little lonely.

One jar after another was opened, and the soldiers poured the liquid into the river that was flowing towards Siping Mountain.

"Let's go!" emptied the last water altar, Hu Hai did not hesitate for a moment, and immediately led his troops to leave.

The night was fine, the red sun rose, and a new day came again.

"Report! Reporting to His Royal Highness the Regent, the envoy of the Chen army shouted in front of the battle, saying that he was asking His Highness how His Royal Highness considered the Emperor of the Chen Dynasty yesterday's discussion, and they were waiting for a reply. A guard hurried to report.

Shen Luoyan smiled lightly: "My cousin is an anxious man, and told the messenger that the palace basically agreed to Emperor Chen's proposal, but there are still some soldiers in the army who refuse to follow the righteousness, please Emperor Chen give the palace some more time to persuade, and it will take some time, and our army will definitely surrender to Emperor Chen." ”

The envoy of the Wu army soon came to the front of the battle and told Shen Luoyan's obvious plan to delay the army.

Chen Jun's envoy didn't seem surprised when he heard this, but he was most expected. The messenger smiled at him, then turned and walked away. Not long after, bursts of snare drums suddenly sounded in Chen's camp, and then one after another Chen's infantry cavalry had already rushed out, quickly lining up in front of the formation!

Chen Jun's sudden move made Wu Jun nervous. Shen Luoyan was also a little shocked by Chen Jun's silent and immediate turnaround. Originally, she thought that judging from the situation of yesterday's meeting, Chen Kefu didn't seem to want to lose both, and had plans to negotiate peace.

It is precisely because of this that she has the intention of delaying the army, and plans to come directly to a pretext. But Chen Jun's reaction now made her a little unable to react for a while.
