That night, the three brothers made the library pavilion sealed, and did not return to the barracks under the mountain, but spent the night on the top of Yuhuang, and Zheng Xin wrote a report of victory and war in a colorful manner, and sent it directly to the palace of Youyan in Guangyang. At the same time, he repaired a book, and sent his cronies to invite his third brother Zheng Miao and Cui Nan to exchange and come to Yuhuangding to meet.

Although Cui Nan said little, he was extremely clear in his heart, knowing that the four brothers had important matters to discuss, he was unwilling to intervene in it, and he didn't wait for Zheng Miao to arrive, gathered his own soldiers, and set off early the next morning.

Unexpectedly, only half a day after Cui Nan left, Zheng Miao had already come to the foot of Funiu Mountain, with only more than ten cronies and attendants by his side.

Zheng Sen and the others listened to the news, hurriedly dressed up, and went down the mountain to pick them up. As soon as he reached the halfway point, he met with Zheng Miao, and before he could greet him, Zheng Miao gasped and said: "This is not a place to talk, but there is a secret place, and the younger brother has important matters to discuss with the three brothers." ”

Everyone knew that this Zheng Miao was the most elegant and calm, they had never seen him so nervous, and they knew that there must be a reason, and they had no intention of leading him to enjoy the strange scenery of the strange mountains on the top of Yuhuang, and directly led him to a house on the altar of the Tianzun Sect.

Zheng Miao followed everyone into the house, went out again to drink the guards around him, and closed the door in person, then he breathed a sigh of relief, took out a letter from his underwear, and respectfully handed it to Zheng Xin and said: "Father has something, all in this letter, please circulate it to your brothers." ”

Zheng Xin knew that it was the letter of King Youyan, and he was also busy taking it with both hands respectfully, reading it carefully, and after pondering for a while, he handed it to Zheng Sen.

Zheng Sen took it, only saw half of it, and opened his mouth to say foul words: "Lao Tzu ......" Seeing Zheng Xin raise his hand to stop it, he had to swallow half of the words in his stomach, read it patiently, and handed it to Yizhi.

Qiu Yizhi hurriedly took the letter, and saw that it was a dignified and dignified small letter, which was undoubtedly written by Zheng Rong himself, but he was shocked when he read the content.

It turned out that since Zheng Miao, Yizhi, Cui Nan, and Wei Hu led the army south to quell the rebellion, they captured more than 100,000 rebels, and they didn't know how to deal with it, so they asked their father. Zheng Rong, the king of Youyan, and his accomplice Zhong Likuang, deliberated several times and prepared a submission requesting the approval of the household department to move the 100,000 people to the border of Youyan and cultivate the newly opened land. Unexpectedly, the household department replied: "This Tianzun bandit, no king and no father, committed rebellion, heinous crimes, all the officers and soldiers of the department were killed on the spot, so as to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and leave no trouble!" ”

Seeing this, Qiu Yizhi's eyes almost erupted with anger, and he finally endured his temperament and continued to read, but it was Zheng Rong and Zhong Likuang who repeatedly discussed, and felt that this matter was never feasible, only to see Youyan Wang wrote: "Henan rebels, except for a few cult rebels, are mostly good people, only because they have no livelihood, so they take risks. ”

These few words were really written in Qiuyi's heart, and his eyes were a little moist, and he saw that the King of Youyan then wrote: I want the Youyan army to immediately pack up and evacuate Henan as soon as possible, without delay.

He also said: "Although this matter violates the decree of the imperial court, this king will ask the court again for his life." When you saw the letter, you immediately led the army to return to Youyan with the prisoners, and the king had arranged to receive the people. There must be no hesitation in this matter, otherwise more than 100,000 lives will be ruined, and it will be difficult for you to atone for your sins. Secret. Finally, it is the signature and private seal of Zheng Rong, the king of Youyan.

At this point, the meaning of the letter is very clear, and there is no room for negotiation between the four brothers. But after all, the matter is big, Qiu Yizhi read the letter again, and then handed it back to his eldest brother Zheng Xin, and said: "Since my father-in-law has this book, I can't wait for any more to do it, but only act according to the order." It's just how to act, and ask the eldest brother to command in the center. ”

Zheng Xin frowned, took the letter, and slowly folded it as before, while thinking about it, he said: "What Yizhi said is very true, for today's plan, only to obey my father's orders." If the foolish brother is not talented, he will give an order! ”

When the other three heard this, they said, "I want to listen to the eldest brother!" ”

Zheng Xin cleared his throat and said: "Our army has captured the rebels, mostly on the western front, but fortunately, they have been prepared for a long time and have concentrated on the border of Henan and Youyan. The third and fourth brothers returned to the camp today in the starry night, and immediately set off with Cui and Wei to remove the camp and take all the chaotic people into Youyan, and then discuss the long-term. ”

Zheng Miao and Yizhi listened, and said, "Get an order!" ”

Zheng Xin nodded, and then said: "Brother Fool also has thousands of prisoners here, and there are dozens of backbone cult members, and the property and ordnance in this general altar also need to be counted. The second brother immediately packed up his men and horses, escorted the prisoners, collected the garrisons from all over the country along the way, and was sure to enter the Youyan territory within ten days. Brother Yu led 300 soldiers and 2,000 Chinese troops, waiting for the handover of local officials and troops in Henan, and was the queen of the brothers. ”

Zheng Miao was about to speak when he heard this, but Zheng Xin knew that he meant nothing more than to be the queen of his palace, and said with an extremely serious expression: "Brother Xian's kindness and foolish brother understand, today's situation is tense, and we can't wait to argue for a long time." I also hope that the third brother will have a smooth journey, be careful, and don't let down your father and foolish brother! ”

Zheng Xin said very earnestly, so that the two of them had nothing to say, only bowed again, said: "Take care", and then withdrew from the house and went down the mountain.

Qiu Yizhi went north with Zheng Rong to the grassland to meet the alliance with the Bohai Dali Khan, and when he first entered the battlefield, he offered a clever plan to help the Han Bohai Coalition Army kill the invincible Visimi Khan only to save his life. This Yizhi was just a yellow-mouthed child at that time, where would he raise horses, and his father-in-law Zheng Rong adopted this group of horses in the palace stable for him. Zheng Rong had been at war with the Turks for a long time, and of course he knew the importance of good horses and horses on the grassland, and this group of horses was only used for breeding to improve the bloodline of Youyan war horses, and even he was reluctant to ride. But after all, these sweaty horses were given to Qiu Yizhi by Dali by name, and because of this relationship, Zheng Rong finally gave him one when Qiu Yizhi was eighteen years old, which also made the other three brothers envious and jealous for a few days.

Yizhi knew that he had a powerful BMW under his crotch, so he discussed with Zheng Miao, and he went back to the camp to arrange the matter first.

This Qiu Yizhi has to act alone, which is naturally a little more risky, but Zheng Miao knows that although his righteous brother has a stubborn personality, he is extremely shrewd and capable, and he has also walked the road from his own camp to Yuhuangding, so there must be no accidents. So Zheng Miao had no choice but to rush back to the barracks by Yizhi under repeated instructions, and he immediately ordered the military horses, and then set off.

As soon as Yizhi left the camp, he suddenly thought that there was still another important matter that needed to be entrusted, so he turned his horse's head again, found Zheng Miao, and said to him: "Third brother, don't forget, the younger brother has seized countless cult classics in the Yuhuang Ding Altar, but he wants to help me bring them back." The eldest brother and the second brother already knew about it, and the third brother knew it as soon as he asked. After that, before Zheng Miao agreed, he grabbed the horse's belly and left again.

This sweaty and bloody BMW is really extraordinary, and without whipping, it clears the anxious heart of the master, and spreads its hooves and goes north.

This sweaty BMW not only ran fast, but also extremely resistant to hunger and thirst, ran all night and day in a row, only rested for less than two hours, and arrived at the base camp of Qiuyi only at dusk the next day. It's just that it was June, and the scorching sun was in the sky, and the horse had traces of blood oozing from its pores, dyeing the pure white hair mottled - worthy of the name of "sweat and blood"!

The general who guarded the camp saw from a distance that a single man was galloping towards the camp gate, bringing up a puff of smoke and dust, and when the man ran closer, he had already recognized that it was Qiu Yizhi, the son of the king of Youyan, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Seeing this, Qiu Yizhi turned over and dismounted, panting and said, "No courtesy, open the gate quickly, I have something important to deal with." ”

Seeing that he was very anxious to speak, the officer hurriedly ordered someone to open the gate of the village, followed closely behind Qiu Yizhi, and said: "Your Highness, there is a person who asks to see His Highness here for a few days, whether he sees it or not, and asks His Highness to decide." ”

Qiu Yizhi nodded and said: "I know, it's just that I am in a hurry at the moment, and it is inconvenient to meet him, so you can find out the identity of that person, and then report calmly." As he spoke, his breath calmed down a little, and he handed the reins in his hand to the officer and said, "This horse has been injured, so you can take it down and personally choose a few liters of clean and fine bean feed to feed, don't feed it too much, but it will break the stomach." ”

The officer took the reins and promised, "Order." It's just that the person who asked to see him claimed to be named Zhao Heizi, saying that His Highness knew about it and would meet him......"

"Oh? It's actually Brother Zhao Hei? When Yizhi heard this, his eyes lit up, and he commanded, "This Zhao Heizi is my old friend, you take him to my tent to rest and wait first, and I will go to see him." After that, without looking back, he went to Wei Hu, the chief officer in the barracks.

Since Zheng Miao left the camp and went to Yuhuangding of Funiu Mountain to do business, only Wei Hu, a general in the army, sat firmly in the big tent of the Chinese army and presided over daily affairs. He already knew the contents of King Youyan's letter, and expected that Zheng Miao, Qiu Yizhi and Cui Nan would immediately return to the camp to deal with military affairs in the event of this big change, but he didn't expect Qiu Yizhi to travel nearly hundreds of miles in a day and night to rush back to the camp.

Just when I was stunned, I heard Qiu Yizhi ask, "Has General Cui Nan returned to the camp?" ”

"General Cui hasn't arrived yet, I don't know why His Highness asks this?"

Only then did Qiu Yizhi know that he had inadvertently arrived first, exceeding Cui Nan's itinerary, and he didn't answer Wei Hu's question, and said straightforwardly: "Presumably, the third brother has informed General Wei of his father's order, I don't know what the general thinks?" ”

Wei Hu replied: "His Royal Highness has already told the last general, and he originally planned to obey the general's order and immediately escort the prisoners to departure. However, His Royal Highness insisted on consulting with the other three princes before taking action, so the last general had not yet given any orders, so he would first stabilize the morale of the army. ”

Yizhi listened, nodded, and knew that Wei Hu's disposition was the only correct choice under the unclear situation, so he said: "General Wei's soldiers are seamless, and they really live up to their reputation. Our brother has already discussed and agreed, so according to the order of our father, the whole army will immediately withdraw to Youyan Road, and my father will order someone to respond. ”

Wei Hu listened and thought about it, frowned and said, "The prince's order is very urgent, this withdrawal is too hasty. After thinking about it, only by stabilizing the Chinese army first, and then ordering the battalions to slowly retreat with prisoners and baggage, can chaos be avoided. ”

Although this Qiu Yizhi is full of tricks, his experience in marching and arranging the formation is not as good as Wei Hu's after all, so he said: "If General Wei has an arrangement, he should fully cooperate with him!" ”

This Wei Hu started in the ranks, he was a general who fought hard with a knife and a gun from a small soldier, his status was low, although he didn't say it in his heart, he always had some inferiority, and when he saw that His Royal Highness Youyan Wang Yizi wanted to look forward to his own horse, his vanity was instantly satisfied, and he said: "How dare the last general, we are all serving for Youyan King Jingzhong." Halfway through his words, he knew that he was wrong, and coughed lightly, "The last general plans to directly bypass the generals at all levels, inspectors, captains, etc., and directly give orders to the thousands of households in each battalion." Arrange for each battalion to escort 500 captives, and the captives will be responsible for transporting heavy grain and grass, and return to Youyan one by one. I wonder what His Highness thinks? ”

Qiu Yi knew that this method was extremely clever, with high efficiency and good order, and the non-general Liangshuai couldn't come up with it, but the general of the Chinese army had to do everything in detail, and the workload increased a lot, so he said: "General Wei's strategy is excellent, presumably General Cui and the third brother will not have any objections, it can be implemented now, if there is anything, it will all be on the next person." He added, "Let's go to change clothes and freshen up, and then I will handle it with the general, and I ......will retire first."

Wei Hu sent Yizhi out of the military tent, and before he could go far, he shouted loudly: "Little ones, come here, there is work to do!" ”
