On the side of the Han army in the fourth section, there are too many cattle, sheep, carriages, etc., which are naturally not suitable for escape. The men only added rudimentary horses around the camp, and then hurriedly lined up in the camp to meet the enemy.

The Persians came very quickly, twenty miles away, in about an hour.

It was nearly noon and the sun was blazing. From afar, I saw a long line of war elephants in front of this team.

The elephant soldiers have also been seen by everyone before, and during the Cangqian War, the troops that the southern barbarians finally used to break through the prince's main formation were the elephant soldiers. It's just that the elephant army is very different from the one in front of them. The elephant soldiers of the Southern Barbarians were just soldiers sitting on elephants with javelins, and even the basic defensive equipment was lacking, and they were extremely rudimentary. But these war elephants are armed almost from head to toe. The whole body is wrapped with a thick copper sheet to protect the vital points of the whole body. Even the riders above have special cushions. Like a mobile fortress.

About three hundred paces away from the Han camp, the Persians stopped.

The whole team was blocked by tall war elephants, Wu Ming looked far away, only felt that there were also swords and guns in the back, and he didn't know how many people there were. So many people stood there quietly, but it was very quiet, except for the occasional elephant stepping restlessly, and the sound of heavy footsteps made everyone's hearts even more anxious.

Wu Ming's heart was churning. During the battle in front of the cang, the terrifying scene of the hundreds of elephant soldiers charging in the rain is still like a nightmare, lingering in their hearts, if they take advantage of this advance momentum to rush over, although the Han army is waiting for work, can it really withstand the thunderous momentum of the elephant soldiers? Even if Li Yuan's black armor army has rare combat power in the world, if it is tough, it is estimated that it will only be able to hold back, right?

He turned his head and glanced at Li Yuan next to him, only to see that the other party's face was solemn, but he was quite calm. He couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Lord Li, if the other party rushes over, are you sure to block it?" ”

"I can't."

Li Yuan's answer to these words was categorical and unpromising. However, he immediately continued: "But to deal with these big things, you don't need to be tough at all, just avoid their edges and scatter them." ”

Wu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the Eastern Han Dynasty is also studying how to deal with the elephant soldiers. He took over: "It's good to have a way to deal with this thing......"

Li Yuan shook his head and said softly: "Lord Wu, it's so easy, to deal with this thing, the important thing is a mobility, but this is exactly what our army lacks." Wu Ming's heart sank, now the entire Han army, cattle and sheep, carriages and the like are too much, if they really fight, Li Yuan can't leave Tao Yu to fight mobile warfare, this is his own weakness.

The team stood there, orderly, as immovable as a wall of copper. Probably because of the neat queue of the Black Armor Army, the other party was a little surprised, and it was much more unexpected than the other party. In the middle of the night, the war elephants parted from it, and then slowly came out and rode along.

The knight was slender, dressed in white, hunting in the wind and veiled.

This person Wu Ming naturally knows, it is Esther who has made herself suffer, but what is she doing alone?

Esther walked to the center of the two armies and stood still, and her voice flashed like a silver bell in the wind: "Esther is here, there is a letter from Persian Martial Father, please read it from the Eastern Han Dynasty Crown Princess." ”

What exactly are these Persians going to do?

Tao Yu's voice floated out of the carriage: "Lord Wu, you go and take the letter, I want to see what these Persians are going to do?" Her tone was full of anger. In the battle of Wangxiang Valley, the prince's ashes were left there forever, and it was these Persians who did it, and it was really a hell of a good temper that she could have a good temper.

Wu Ming responded, "Yes." He stepped forward, went out of the gate, and walked toward Esther.

Esther didn't seem to expect that it was Wu Ming who came to answer the letter, so she let out a chuckle: "Yo, it's Lord Wu, we really have a fate, we have met." He said this very loudly, it is estimated that people on both sides heard it, Wu Ming had already seen the power of her mouth, and he didn't answer, but rushed to her with a dull head and said in a deep voice: "Letter." ”

Esther muttered softly, "It's not fun." He took an envelope from his hand and handed it to Wu Ming. When the two hands touched, the tail finger of her right hand quickly touched Wu Ming's palm, smiled lightly, and said in a low voice: "Lord Wu, tell your crown princess to think about it carefully, we in Persia were also forced to do it last time, I hope she can understand." ”

After finishing speaking, he laughed tiredly: "Remember." Without waiting for Wu Ming to answer, he turned around and walked back, and there was still a faint fragrance of the other party in the air. Wu Ming was in full view of everyone, and he couldn't advance or retreat.

After returning to the camp, he walked straight to Tao Yu's cart and presented the letter. There was a sound of opening the letter on both sides, and then there was no movement for a long time, and after a while, just when Wu Ming suspected that the Southern Barbarians had done anything about the letter, he heard Tao Yu sigh faintly in the carriage and said, "Let's camp in place." Lord Wu, you will come to my tent later, and we have important matters to discuss. ”

And that's the end of it? Wu Ming was also a little confused, what did this Persian say in the letter, and let Tao Yu camp in the same place?

He glanced back, and saw that the Persians had also slowly retreated, and then set up camp two miles away.

What the hell are they doing?

※※※Tao Yu's tent is very large, and it is used for deliberations, but it is just right.

When he arrived, Li Yuan had not yet arrived, and the entire camp was empty. A black curtain hung down inside, dividing the tent into two spaces, inside and outside, and several vases of palace maids stood in front of the black curtain. On the left side of the curtain, Liao Gang was sitting there at a loss, and when he saw Wu Ming coming, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

With Tao Yu's current physical condition, it is indeed inconvenient to show his head, but Wu Ming looked at the shadowy shadow behind the camp tent, and felt uncomfortable for no reason.

"Lord Wu, sit down first, and when Lord Li comes, let's discuss the specific methods." Tao Yu whispered through the curtain.

Wu Ming Dynasty bowed inside, then sat down next to Liao Gang next to him, and said softly: "The young governor is really punctual." Liao Gang's face was swollen red, he moved his buttocks, and said: "Lord Wu said that he laughed, in the past, there was my place there, and Niangniang invited me warmly this time, so why should I come in advance, so as not to delay the hour." ”

Liao Gang's position is a six-rank protector, and when the prince was in the past, he could only attend the heavy dà incident, and he rarely had the opportunity to enter the account. It's just that now the team is about to enter his Lao Tzu's territory, so he has to give him some face, Tao Yu invited him, and it is estimated that he also has this feeling.

The two chatted casually for a while, and a soldier outside said loudly, "Master Li has arrived." Before he finished shouting, Li Yuan had already broken in in and shouted, "Niangniang, what did the Persian girls say in the letter?" ”

Tao Yu was silent for a while, and then replied unhurriedly: "The Persians want us to hand over Pabri, as long as we hand it over, they promise not to invade us and leave immediately." ”

"What?" Li Yuan exclaimed. He exclaimed, "Fuck, I've long since gotten tired of this old boy Pabri, so give him to the Persians and let them eat dogs." After catching Pabri, the Black Armor Army became the other party's free thugs, and Li Yuan was angry for a long time.

Tao Yu said softly: "General Li, can't you be serious?" Master Wu, do you think this is feasible? Li Yuan smiled and sat on the chair next to him.

Wu Ming looked at Li Yuan, shook his head, hugged his fists at the black curtain, and said, "Niangniang, give Pabri to the Persians, this matter must not be done." First of all, we have made an agreement with Nanban that after we leave the country and before their receiving troops arrive, we will ensure the safety of Pabri, and only by keeping our word can we show the power of Niangniang. Secondly, this is the most important thing, once Pabri has an accident, the entire Southern Diplomatic Relations will definitely fall apart and become a mess, and when the time comes, the Persian ** will invade, once the Nanban falls into the hands of Persia, we will become sinners in history. At the same time, Persia will inevitably use the southern barbarians as a springboard, and then march northward to threaten the five provinces south of the Yangtze River. When the time comes, with Li Tie in the north, we will be in a dilemma. ”

He didn't speak behind the curtain for a long time, and now Tao Yu's character, he is becoming more and more uncertain. Wu Ming finished speaking impassionedly, and he was also a little apprehensive in his heart.

After a long while, Tao Yu's faint voice came out of the curtain: "Lord Wu, you are really powerful, no wonder His Highness admires you so much." You can see so far away. It's just that if we try to protect Pabri, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. ”
