Hearing Tu Niu'er's shout, Jing Ping was in a dilemma for a while. Liang Xiao invited him to catch up before the battle, did he go or not? Go, it can be dangerous; If you don't go, it's too weak. After thinking about it again, he still ordered a hundred guards and left the camp. Before leaving the camp, he repeatedly instructed the deputy general Qu Qianqiu to be on guard and be ready to respond at any time.

In his opinion, Liang Xiao's move was strange and could not be guarded against.

Surrounded by the guards, Jing Ping came to the front of the camp, and stopped walking a hundred steps away from Liang Xiao.

Seeing Jingping's appearance, Liang Xiao became even more courageous. He untied the war knife at his waist and handed it to Tu Niu'er, opened his arms to show that he had no weapons, rode alone, and slowly moved forward, while laughing loudly: "Senior brother, don't come to harm?" ”

In the distance, Zhao Yingqi saw this scene in his clairvoyance, and his face turned pale with fright. Liang Xiao: Is this brave or stupid. There were only more than 20 horsemen around him, and it was dangerous enough to get to Jingping's camp, and now he actually went to see Jingping alone, and he didn't even bring a weapon. If Jing Ping suddenly got up and swarmed up, no matter how good his martial arts were, he would be chopped into meat sauce.

This madman! Zhao Yingqi gritted his teeth and ordered the knights around him to prepare for the charge. In any case, Liang Xiao must be snatched back.

Jing Ping was also stunned by Liang Xiao's actions. His heart was beating like a drum, and blood was pouring up in his head. Liang Xiao was getting closer and closer, and if he ordered an attack, it would only take a few breaths for the guards to surround Liang Xiao and drag him off his horse.

Jingping held his breath as he grabbed the reins and slowed down his pace while making a gesture. The guards understood and prepared to attack, just waiting for Jingping's order.

Jing Ping stared at Liang Xiao's figure, and couldn't help but secretly mutter: Closer, closer.

Liang Xiao seemed casual, but in fact, he didn't dare to relax a little. Jing Ping's every move fell in his eyes. See this scenario. Liang Xiao did not continue forward, but grabbed the reins ten steps away, and at the same time retracted his feet on the stirrups, ready to dismount at any time. If Jingping planned to rush over, he could jump off his horse in time to fight.

At the same time, he made a gesture quietly. Get shooters like Firefox ready. The two sides are a hundred steps apart, and Firefox and the others have enough ability to provide long-range fire support.

"Senior brother, do you want to invite me to sit in your camp?"

"Huh?" Jing Ping was stunned for a moment. He wanted to wait for Liang Xiao to get closer before making a move, but he didn't expect Liang Xiao to stop ten steps away. This distance is enough to speak, but the sneak attack is a little too far, especially in the face of an opponent like Liang Xiao. If Liang Xiao turned his head and ran, they might not be able to catch him. He was entangled in his heart and didn't know how to answer Liang Xiao. His expression inevitably looked a little silly, and his momentum was three points weaker.

"Then how about I go back and discuss it with the prince of Nanyue?"

"The Prince of Nanyue?" Hearing these words, Jing Ping suddenly came back to his senses and couldn't help but gasp. Zhao Yingqi, the prince of South Vietnam, is also here? If that's the case, then how many cavalry should there be here? One thousand, two thousand, or five thousand? If not. How can you ensure Zhao Yingqi's safety.

Jing Ping thought about it again, and became suspicious. Although he didn't know the exact strength of Liang Xiao and the others. But as far as South Vietnam is concerned, it seems impossible to come up with enough cavalry to protect the crown prince. Cavalry advice is not something that can be done in a day or two.

Liang Xiao is cheating on me?

Jing Ping rolled his eyes, and pretended to smile boldly: "Okay, I have also heard of Zhao Yingqi's name a long time ago, and it is also my honor to see it." ”

"Then you can get your wish today." Liang Xiao turned around. By the way, turn the horse's head diagonally to the side to further facilitate escape. He pointed to Zhao Yingqi on the mountain in the distance. "That's His Royal Highness the Prince of Nanyue, can you see his battle flag clearly? If you can't see clearly, you might as well send a messenger over to greet you. Although they are enemies, after all, you Minyue once surrendered to South Vietnam. There should still be etiquette. ”

Jing Ping had already seen those figures in the distance, but he was too far away to see the battle flag clearly, and he didn't expect that those people would be the prince of Nanyue. Hearing Liang Xiao say this at this moment, he felt a little drumming in his heart.

Is what Liang Xiao said true or false? If it is true, this thing is too weird, the prince of Nanyue actually went deep into the territory of Minyue, and the war has a tendency to expand. If it is said to be fake, then Liang Xiao is inevitably too capable of pretending. He only needs to send someone over to take a look, and he can immediately expose Liang Xiao's lies. He didn't know Zhao Yingqi himself, at least he could see the pomp and circumstance that the prince should have. Liang Xiao wants to deceive people, and he will not use such inferior means.

Jing Ping thought about it for a while, called a shrewd guard, and asked him to meet Zhao Yingqi. The guards understood, and strode away.

The situation was not settled, and Jing Ping did not dare to act rashly, and signaled the guards to suspend the attack and wait a while. In order to delay time, he and Liang Xiao reminisced about the past. "Senior brother, is the master okay in Chang'an?"

"You haven't met the little junior sister?" Liang Xiao did not answer the rhetorical question. After all, he always has the initiative and does not allow Jingping to have time to think freely.

"Little junior sister is back?"

"Not only is my junior sister back, but Wei Qing is also here, and she is also here with tens of thousands of troops." Liang Xiao grinned. "If you want to say that the little junior sister has a vision, she fell in love with Wei Qing at a glance. Would you have thought that Wei Qing would be where it is today? ”

Jingping was gloomy. Of course, he knew about Zheng Er's return, and it was no longer news that Zheng was reversed. Han Anguo and Wei Qing led the army to attack the northern border of Minyue, which is also a major event involving the survival of Minyue, and it is even more impossible for them not to know.

"Senior brother, your father is the old department of Wu State, and working hard for Liu Ju is the first word of righteousness, no one will say anything about you. Now that Liu Ju is doing his Lou Hou in Huiji, there is no problem for you to switch to Minyue. Minyue is also a vassal state of the Han Dynasty. But now, you follow Yu Shan and confront the imperial court, what is this? ”

Jing Ping frowned, speechless.

"The imperial court is magnificent, and when the master arrived in Chang'an, the Son of Heaven treated him as a mentor and friend, and did not treat him unfavorably because he was once the old department of the Wu State. Jing is the old surname of Chu State, why do you father and son have to work hard for Yu Shan? Now the situation is clear, the rainy season has passed, and a big war is about to break out. The Han army marched from Huiji and Yuzhang, and the South Vietnamese attacked from the south, how long can you hold out? Little junior brother, go back and persuade your father, it's too late to regret it now, wait until the soldiers come to the city. It's too late to regret it. ”

Jing Ping bit his lip tightly and said nothing. He was afraid that he would be persuaded by Liang Xiao with one mouth. He himself felt that this matter was unreliable, but it was not his turn to call the shots.

Jingping's momentum was completely suppressed by Liang Xiao, the initiative was lost, his heart was depressed and sad, and he didn't care about attacking Liang Xiao for a while. Until the guards returned. Telling him that the cavalry in the distance was indeed like Zhao Yingqi, the prince of South Vietnam, he pulled his thoughts back.

"Senior brother, is that really the prince of Nanyue?"

Liang Xiao smiled: "You have sent someone to see it, and you still ask me?" ”

"You ......" Jing Ping wanted to say and stopped. He really wanted to ask Liang Xiao, how many of you are there. But reason told him that it was too idiotic to ask. Can Liang Xiao tell him the truth? One thing is certain: if it is really the prince of Nanyue, then the number of troops will definitely not be small, at least he will not give himself the opportunity to catch Zhao Yingqi and make a great contribution.

Jing Ping's heart became more and more uneasy. Zhao Yingqi appeared here. Is it really like Liang Xiao said, South Vietnam should do its best to cooperate with the Han army to attack Minyue? This news is important and must be reported to the father immediately. Minyue may face a catastrophe, and if you don't make a decision, it may be too late.

Of course, since Zhao Yingqi is here, it makes no difference whether Liang Xiao is caught or not. The South Vietnamese were weak. It is impossible to make the prince Liang Xiao's lieutenant. Perhaps, Liang Xiao was persuaded to surrender by Zhao Yingqi's order.

Jingping was in a low mood. I had no intention of catching up with Liang Xiao again and saying goodbye.

Liang Xiao turned his horse back. He didn't expect to explain Jingping at all, and he reminisced with Jingping before the battle, but he just wanted to take a closer look at Jingping, confirm his mentality, and fight for the initiative. Now it seems. Jingping simply did not have the courage to take the initiative to attack. Until Jing Zhao's main force arrived, they were safe.

Seeing Liang Xiao return safely, Zhao Yingqi's tense breath finally came out. He smiled, took the initiative to greet him, and patted Liang Xiao's shoulder hard. Half-truths and half-truths said: "Junhou, you scared me. ”

"Senior brother reminiscence, what's there to be nervous about?"

"Renewing? I'm afraid Jing Ping won't think so. Just now he clearly wanted to attack you. ”

"Haha, that's right, he was trying to attack me. However, His Highness swept the battle for me, and he did not dare to act rashly. Liang Xiao put away his smile and spit out the sullen breath that he had been holding for a long time. Your Highness, we have limited time. Jing Ping is young and doesn't dare to take risks, but Jing Zhao is experienced, and we can't fool him with this little trick. We must seize the time and be prepared for a bitter battle. ”

Zhao Yingqi agreed. He has already admired Liang Xiao to the ground, and he will do whatever Liang Xiao says.

Liang Xiao only left his troops to frolic and wander in front of the camp of the Minyue army, deliberately stimulating the Minyue army and making a provocative appearance, and the rest of the people all went to carry grain and grass, build positions, and prepare to hold on and wait for help.

Four or five hundred South Vietnamese knights, five or six hundred captives, a total of more than a thousand people, and hundreds of carriages, like ant colonies, carried day and night, moving the Minyue camp stationed in the open field to the nearby Shiliuling.

With Liang Xiao guarding in front of the camp, Jingping didn't dare to be careless, so he closed the camp and couldn't come out. He sent a large number of scouts to find out the movements of the South Vietnamese knights, and although he paid a lot of money, he also learned a lot about it. But he couldn't believe it. Only four or five hundred people, more than a thousand horses? How is this possible. Needless to say, this must have been Liang Xiao hiding the main force, and letting people carry grain and grass to lure him to attack.

Jingping adheres to his father's consistent teachings, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault, and it is important to hold the camp. No matter what tricks you Liang Xiao arranged, if I don't go out of the camp, what can you do to me?

――

Zhao Guang received Zhao Yingqi's battle report, and he was suspicious, mixed with a little jealousy.

Zhao Yingqi and Liang Xiao actually robbed Jing Zhao's baggage camp and got a large amount of grain and grass? I fought with Jing Zhao for so long, and I didn't make any decent progress, and I couldn't even drive Jing Zhao north of Liangshan. As soon as Zhao Yingqi made a move, he not only attacked the territory of Minyue, but also robbed Jingzhao's baggage camp.

That's a lot of luck.

Zhao Guang was depressed. He threw Zhao Yingqi's battle report aside and ignored it. What he has to think about now is how to explain the futility of his labor after returning to Panyu, instead of chasing Jing Zhao and relieving the siege of Zhao Yingqi. For him, it would be good for Zhao Yingqi to win first and then lose. It would be even more perfect if he died. Who told you not to listen to the persuasion and have to take the risk?

Going deep alone, this can only be the result. Young and crazy, see how long you can be frivolous.

Zhao Guang did not move, even if he received the news of Jing Zhao's retreat, he only symbolically chased after it, and then collected his troops and returned to the camp. He wrote a letter to Lu Jia, telling him about the situation in front of him, so that Lu Jia could be mentally prepared to blow the wind in front of Zhao Hu first, lest the news of Zhao Yingqi's death reach Panyu, and Zhao Hu couldn't bear it.

――

When Jing Zhao received the news from Jing Ping, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately set up the class teacher.

After several months of campaigning, it was in vain, and now even the former battalion of Liangshan has been thrown away, and there is no harvest at all.

He had a bad feeling that the outcome of the battle might not be good.

Two days later, Jing Zhao led the army back to Pukui Pass. He didn't care about resting, handed over the army to the adjutant general, and rushed to Jingping's camp with his own personal guard battalion. Jing Ping reported the situation in the past few days to Jing Zhao as it was, and accompanied Jing Zhao to observe the new camp built by Liang Xiao and others in Pomegranate Ridge from a distance. Jing Zhao frowned, pondered for a long time, and sighed softly.

"Kid, you're probably thinking too much about it this time."

Jingping didn't know what he meant.

"I sent scouts to inspect the large camp in South Vietnam. Judging from the size of the camp, the cavalry brought by Zhao Yingqi and Liang Xiao is indeed not very many, and it should not exceed 1,000. They crossed Liangshan from Caopuling, which was too far beyond our exploration range, and we were all negligent and exploited by him. Judging from various news, he moved the camp to Pomegranate Ridge, not as a trick to lure the enemy, but as a real adventure. ”

Jing Ping's face immediately swelled red. If this is the case, then he was not only deceived by Liang Xiao, but also lost a great opportunity. Zhao Yingqi, the crown prince of Nanyue, Hou Liangxiao, the champion of the Han Dynasty, what a valuable goal this is, it is completely worth his gamble. But he was frightened by Liang Xiao, not only let go of this opportunity, but also gave Liang Xiao enough time to build a position in Pomegranate Ridge.

Now, Liang Xiao's position has been completed, and even if his father comes back to help, it will be useless.

Opportunity, fleeting.

"This ...... What can I do? ”

"Let's get some of the baggage back first." Jing Zhao sighed helplessly. "Besiege Pomegranate Ridge, trap Zhao Yingqi, pass on the letter to the Prime Minister, and ask him to decide. At this time of survival, we cannot afford to take another wrong step. Zhao Yingqi and Liang Xiao finally have a bit of weight, if we can catch them, we will not be busy in vain. ”――
