Zhang Mai was about to ask Liu An about the details of the westward migration of the Anxi army and civilians that year, when a fast horse rushed up the mountain, and immediately a young man, but it was Guo Bian, shouted: "Brother Mai, it's not good!" My daddy, he, he's going to Balasha! ”
"What!"
Everyone on the mountain stood up, and Zhang Mai hurriedly asked, "Why are you going to Balasha?" ”
Guo Bian jumped off the horse and said: "That envoy said that if the peace agreement is completed, he will go back to restore his life, and he also said that he was instructed by the Great Khan of Arslan to invite his father to meet in Balasha if the negotiation is successful." So before leaving, I invited my father to go to Balasha together. ”
"Then did Guo Lao agree?"
"Yes, they're going to leave tomorrow."
Liu An muttered: "Since the two sides have reconciled, it is normal for Hui Hui to invite the capital to move to the meeting, but ......"
"What's the matter!" Yang Yi shouted: "That must be Hui Hui's treacherous scheme!" If Uncle Guo goes to Ba Ra Sha Roll, he will fall into the trap of Hui Hui, and we can't let Dadu protect him! ”
Guo Bian also said: "Yes, my mother, my sister, and Uncle Yang are all worried, but my father said that since the alliance was formed and the Great Khan invited, it would be rude if he didn't go, and he was ready to set off regardless of everyone's dissuasion." ”
Zhang Mai thought for a while and asked, "Do those Hu envoys also have to go back?" ”
Guo Bian said: "I am making Tugan take half of the people back, and the deputy envoy is plotting to bring half of the people to stay." ”
Liu An said: "If this is the case, then there is some meaning of confession." ”
Yang Yi said angrily: "What kind of confession, how can the life of that plot to fall Wule be compared with Uncle Guo!" Brother Mai, you let me go, let's go down the mountain together and expose the treacherous conspiracy of the Hui people! ”
Guo Bian also persuaded Zhang Mai to hurry down the mountain, Tang Renxiao was worried that something would happen to Guo Shidao, and said: "Special envoy, if you want to go down the mountain this time, we won't stop it." ”
Zhang Mai asked Liu An: "Junqing, what do you think of this?" ”
Liu An said: "Dadu Hu is deep and thoughtful, since we thought that there would be danger, he wouldn't have thought of it, but he still decided to go, it seems that his mind has been decided." ”
Zhang Mai looked at the map given to him by Guo Shidao and thought: "Yes, Guo Lao has clearly thought about it: if the Hui people sincerely accept us, then there will be no danger for him to go; If the Hui man pretends to accept us, then he has made up his mind to sacrifice himself. ”
If something happens to Guo Shidao, the Tang army will unite again, and even the Lord and the faction will completely stop thinking about Hui Fu, "This is probably Guo Lao's plan." What to do? Do you want to fulfill Guo Lao's loyalty? Or do you want to stop him? ”
Liu An persuaded: "Special envoy! Let's go down the mountain! There's no need to let most of the guards take the risk. ”
Zhang Mai was about to promise him, when the camel bell rang, and another person came up the mountain, but this time it was Guo Luo: "Brother Mai, my father asks you to come down the mountain to see you." ”
"Good! I'm going down too! ”
Yang Yi suddenly shouted beside him: "Brother Mai, let go of me." I'll go with you. His tone suddenly became calm: "Don't worry, I won't mess around." I just want to follow you to meet Uncle Guo. ”
The group went down the mountain together, Guo Luo's face was heavy on the way, but he didn't say a word, Zhang Mai asked: "Guo Lao wants to go to Balasha to roll, you don't object to this?" Guo Luo snorted, and sighed after a long time: "I also persuaded my father, saying that it would be better to let me go to Balasa on his behalf, but he refused to agree." He said that he would go there in person to see our sincerity. ”
It was dusk at the bottom of the mountain, Zhang Mai whispered a few words to Liu An on the road, Liu An took Ding Hanshan Qiu Ziqian and separated from them, Zhang Mai and Guo Luo Yang Yi saw Guo Shidao and Yang Dingguo in a small tent at the bottom of the mountain, Yang Dingguo was quite worried, Guo Shidao looked resolute, Zhang Mai thought: "It seems that it is difficult to move him." But he still said: "Old Guo, judging from the actions of the Hui envoys, I am afraid that they still have bad intentions." I don't think you'd better go. ”
Guo Shi said: "What the envoy said is just speculation. Peace with Hui Hui was decided by the people, and as the protector of the capital, I could not believe in my words even if I agreed to Tugan. ”
Zhang Mai said: "Can it be delayed for another day or two?" Maybe we'll be able to find evidence to convince the people. ”
Guo Shidao sighed: "Special envoy, what is the idea in my heart, I think you should know that you have reached the last step now, if you don't do it suddenly, then all your previous strength will be in vain." I went to Barasa this time, hoping that Arslan would sincerely negotiate peace with us, and then we would have a good life for a few years. After I am gone, I will send someone back every seven days to deliver the letter, but if there is a letter, it is peace, if I have not heard from me for more than ten days, then something has happened to me, and you should act immediately and find another way out. Dingguo. ”
"Yes."
"After I leave, you will act on my behalf to protect the capital, if anything happens, I will discuss it with Special Envoy Zhang, and I will do what I will do, and I don't have to think about my personal safety."
Yang Dingguo said: "Dadu Hu, I don't think it's as good as ...... this matter"
"Say no more! Luoer. ”
"Yes."
"Take good care of your mother and sister."
Yang Yi stepped forward and was about to speak, but Guo Shidao had already intercepted his words: "Ah Yi, you are good at everything, but you are too impulsive, and this bad temper will have to be changed in the future." ”
Yang Yi's eyes were red, and he was speechless for a while.
The atmosphere in the tent was extremely heavy, and Guo Shidao laughed: "What are you doing, it's like life and death." Don't be like this, whether the Hui people are sincere or false, in fact, it is also in the number of five or five, maybe this time I go to Ba Ra Sha Luo, Arslan will treat me like a guest! When you come back, bring a gift for everyone, and tell me what you want. ”
Where did everyone feel this mood, Zhang Mai suddenly smiled and said: "I want a thousand-mile horse." I heard that there are thousands of miles of grassland over there in Ba Ra Sha Roll, and there are many horses, if Guo Lao is convenient over there, he will help me find one. ”
Guo Shidao laughed: "After all, it's still the envoy Kuangda!" Maxima, okay, I remember. What about you? What not? The others were speechless, and Guo Shidao sighed: "Okay, okay, let's all go to sleep." ”
Coming out of the small tent, Yang Yi asked Zhang Mai: "Brother Mai, do you really believe that the Hui people are kind?" Do you really believe that they will not do anything to Uncle Guo? ”
Zhang Mai shook his head and said, "I don't believe it." ”
"Then you still let Uncle Guo go? Now that the whole army is up and down, you can stop him. ”
Zhang Mai shook his head: "Old Guo has made up his mind, and I can't stop him." Yang Yi wanted to go back, but Zhang Mai pulled him: "Don't act rashly, come to my account tomorrow night, I have something to ask you to help." ”
Yang Yiyixi: "Brother Mai, do you have any plans?" Zhang Mai smiled but did not answer.
On the second day, the Tang army came to see off Guo Shidao, men, women and children, helping each other and crying, and children came to hold Guo Shidao's clothes, crying: "Grandpa, don't go, don't go." ”
Tugan said on the horse: "What do you do!" I came back a few days later, and what was it to cry like this. ”
Guo Shidao smiled: "Not bad! I was a guest at Barasa Roll, and I will be back in a while, so why should you do this? He made a ring: "All fathers and elders take care, all sons, take care of the homeland, take care of the fathers and brothers and sisters, the farmer, the shepherd, don't miss the farming time, I don't want to come back to see that the fields are still barren, the cattle and sheep are hungry and thin, hehe." ”
Yang Dingguo searched the crowd all over the crowd, but he didn't see any trace of Zhang Mai, and said in his heart: "Where did he go?" ”
Guo Shidao went with a team of guards, after he left, Yang Dingguo moved his three battalions to the site of the new Broken Leaf City, although everyone was worried about Guo Shidao's safety, but he thought that his instructions were not wrong, so they all planned to sow seeds and shepherds, gather and hunt. As for the rebuilding of New Shattered Leaf City, it will be a year or two away.
Look at Guo Shidao has been gone for two days, the Tang Army in Anxi is fine, Guo Shiyong on the front line is also safe, and everyone's hearts are gradually settled. On this day, Xi Sheng finished feeding his mother and said, "Mother, when Dadu comes back, we will have a few years of good life." Suddenly, Tang Renxiao knocked on the door outside, Xi Sheng came out, and asked, "What?" ”
Tang Renxiao said: "The envoy has something to call. ”
Xi Sheng nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, I'll come." "Go back and wait for his mother to sleep, then go with Tang Renxiao, the houses in the new Broken Leaf City are destroyed, the soldiers and civilians in Anxi live in temporary marching tents, the Tang army camp at night is quiet, only the sound of fighting remains, Xi Sheng followed Tang Renxiao to a high ground nearby, and wondered: "What does the envoy want me to do here?" After walking for a while, he saw Zhang Mai behind a ruin and asked, "...... envoy?"
Zhang Mai had already raised his finger and "shh ”
Xi Sheng couldn't figure out what he meant, but he still did what he said, and when he acted, he faintly found that there were other people around him in ambush, and thought, "What the hell is going on?" ”
After waiting for a long time, he was a little breathless, and suddenly saw someone sneaking over and climbing up to the high ground, Xi Sheng was taken aback: "What person?" Spies? ”
After a while, I saw the two people climb to the hill and look down, and one of them said: "It's dark at night, and these Tang Kou don't light the lamp, so they can't see clearly." He said that he was replying to the words. Xi Sheng was even more shocked in his heart, and heard another person say: "Fortunately, these Tang Kou are very stupid, as soon as they heard that Arslan Khan Xu He was very happy, and the supervision of us was also relaxed, otherwise how could we get out, don't talk about it, let's take a look." This is supposed to be their lair. Well, I've been paying close attention to the past two days, and their numbers seem to be good, how can they kill Masouuddhkan in one fell swoop? ”
The man said, "Maybe they have someone else hiding somewhere else." ”
The other person smiled and said: "No matter how many men and horses he has, Bogra Khan has already sent people to recruit and mobilize people to find people, and when the time comes, he will fight back and forth with the garrison of Kudan, and he is afraid that they will not be able to fly into the sky?" Besides, these Tang Kou are stupid enough, and now they have no defense against us, and even their own heads have been sent to us, so what are you afraid of? Instead, we have to think about how we are going to get out. ”
As he spoke, his voice grew lower and lower.
Xi Sheng has two times in the past few days, and he recognized the figure of one of them, who was one of the Hui envoys, and then listened to their conversation, and felt a chill in his heart: "Not good!" Hui is really uneasy and kind! There is no doubt that these two people are spies! Then Guo Dadu protects ......"
A cold sweat broke out at the thought of this.
The two of them were squirming on the mountain, not knowing what to do, Xi Sheng endured it, and finally saw Zhang Mai waved his hand, his heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly rushed up, the two didn't want to have an ambush here, and they fled for their lives in surprise, but where could they escape? Xi Sheng recognized the people who surrounded him from all sides, in addition to Zhang Mai and Tang Renxiao, there were also Guo Luo, Yang Yi and others, and even Yang Dingguo was among them! ___________________________________ wish you all a happy ^_^ Lantern Festival
