The army marched to Geer, and early this morning, Ni Xiaoye was woken up by this pheasant again. Flipping on the roof of the car to get the letter, the cargo didn't lift his eyelids, and continued to eat the rations of the carrier pigeons diligently with his head down, not polite at all.

This time the envelope contained two pieces of letterhead, one for Xiao Ye Guoshi, and seven words were written crookedly:

"The 12th Department of the Northern Front, gratifying"

Another letter was actually written to Wei Chukang, just three words:

"To fight or not to fight"

This is interesting, Ni Xiaoye took the letter to Wei Xikang's camp, and Xu Huaishan was also inside.

"Whose letter?" Wei took the letter.

"Helian Jue, you know him well?" Ni Xiaoye said.

"I killed his grandfather, probably his father, his brother, and maybe his brother." Wei Qi's response was as if he had eaten steamed buns this morning and rice at noon, without any waves.

Ni Xiaoye: ......

"I don't know him well, it's the first time I've corresponded." Seeing Jiang Li frowning, he hurriedly added. By the way, he handed the letter to Xu Huaishan.

"To fight or not to fight? What does this mean? Xu Huaishan was a little stunned.

"How could he write to you?" Wei was more concerned about this issue.

"Oh, his letter to Xiao Ye Guoshi, let him count eight characters. This is what I brought inside, and I brought it to you when Master Xiao Ye was meditating. Ni Xiaoye didn't have to think about it and replied casually.

Wei Qikang nodded, and then turned sideways to Xu Huaishan and said: "Yesterday night, I received news from the scouts on the northern line, Helian Jue's soldiers and horses marched all the way west from the east to the northern line, and they have pulled out the twelve tribes of Ajimu. ”

Xu Huaishan's expression froze when he heard this: "What is he going to do!" Holding the letter paper, he said to Jiang Li: "This is sent by the pheasant?" ”

"That's right! Came this morning. Ni Xiaoye nodded.

"Then the other person is not far from us! At the speed of the pheasant, it is only five days away from our fast horse. It is impossible for others to be on the northern front, and he did not personally lead the troops......"

Xu Huaishan's brows tightened, the northern line is the most bitter and cold place in northern Xinjiang, although it is vast and sparsely populated, but the Tatar savages there are more fierce and brave. In addition, the terrain is complex and the weather is bad, and the northern line is also called the line of death. This Helian Jue was able to attack the twelve camps without personally leading the troops this time, which shows that there is no shortage of handsome talents under his hands, and there is no shortage of fierce generals. This person should not be underestimated!

Not only that, he sent a direct letter, three words, "fight or not", which simply let his ambitions be put on the verge of the sun, and he was so arrogant that he did not hide it at all.

Looking up at Wei Qikang: "What is General Wei's opinion?" ”

"According to the news from the scouts, there are about 20,000 soldiers and horses on Helian Jue's northern front, and even if we fight together, it will only be 40,000. There is still a huge disparity between the 140,000 of the Upper Tarwild Royal Court. Even if they win one or two games, the royal court is the cavalry and the home field, and they can rest and make a comeback at any time, and drag it into a war of attrition, which we can't afford at all.

What's more, the Suhe army is only 20,000 horses this time, and even if the power of the royal court is disintegrated, it is impossible to be stationed in the royal court for a long time, and in the end it is just a wedding dress for another wolf on the grassland. Helian Jue thought very well this time, and used the Suhe Army as a thug for him to bite the territory of the royal court. ”

Xu Huaishan nodded: "Indeed, we are going to take Ajimu's head this time." The greatest effect for us is that if our plan fails, we can hold back the Tartars and allow us to retreat more smoothly. ”

"Have you ever considered that Helian Jue made such a tiger invitation, could it be because of some reliance, that we must agree to lend him soldiers? Otherwise, the request on this letter seems too two, uh, too reckless? Ni Xiaoye said.

Wei Xikang's eyes crooked: "You're right! Cooperation is all about bargaining chips, and now I just don't know what chips he has in his hands and to what extent he can contain us. ”

Xu Huaishan nodded: "Why don't we reply to the letter first and try it, and don't lock the reply first?" ”

Ni Xiaoye thought for a while: "I don't think it's appropriate for General Wei to reply to the letter, what if he also wrote a letter to the Tartars?" We don't know what conspiracy he has, if he shows our reply to the Tartars at that time, and then uses a ...... "20,000 people, plus Wei Qikang's soldiers are 40,000, he dares to fight with 140,000 home soldiers and horses, Ni Xiaoye has seen Helian Jue's eight characters, this person is a male lord not a reckless man, and the male lord does not fight a battle that he is not sure of."

"Well, Jiang Junjun is very thoughtful." Xu Huaishan looked at his old friend's daughter approvingly, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

"I'll send scouts north to find out Helian Jue's whereabouts. Don't reply to the letter yet, wait for his next move. If he had been more urgent, he would have written again. Wei Zhi protested.

"Why don't you ask Xiao Ye when he replies to the letter? Anyway, the last time he asked about Bazi, Xiao Ye Guoshi hasn't replied yet, this time he wrote to Cui, and Xiao Ye's identity is not so sensitive. Ni Xiaoye didn't plan to tell these two people the content of Helian Jue's second letter, more things are better than less.

"Is it convenient? Xiao Ye Guoshi is an outsider, so if she is involved in military affairs...... "Xu Huaishan's eyes lit up, this is a good proposal. However, Xiao Ye and the Remnant Burning National Teacher are in the same vein, and it is rare for the Remnant Burning National Teacher to even say a few words, and it seems that it is too difficult for the strong to ask Xiao Ye to help find out the military situation.

Wei Qikang looked at Jiang Li and also showed embarrassment, although this proposal was very good, it was very difficult to implement it in practice.

Ni Xiaoye touched his nose: "Xiaoye is a very good teacher, she knows the righteousness for the country and the people, this time the stakes are very important, I think she will definitely agree, I'll go talk to her." ”

Xu Huaishan and Wei Qikang's eyes were full of expectation and gratitude, "In this way, there will be Laojiang Junjun." ”

Ni Xiaoye walked out of the camp tent towards Puhui's tent, and Wei Chukang chased after him: "If Xiaoye Guoshi is unwilling, don't force yourself." This can also come in handy on the scout's side. "Jiang Li is taken care of by Daye Temple, and the relationship with it is very important. If he has to be absent from his side in the future, it is good for Jiang Li to take care of him, and he must not have a disagreement with Xiao Ye Guoshi because of this matter.

Ni Xiaoye nodded: "Don't worry, I'm measured." After speaking, he glanced at Wei Chukang deeply, I didn't expect you to have a good conscience, buddy.

Sitting in the tent, Ni Xiaoye suddenly slapped his head: "Oh no! ”

Pratt & Whitney hurried over: "What's the matter! Can I help? ”

Ni Xiaoye shook his head helplessly: "I wrote the reply with those four words last time!" Forget about this stubble, if you write it this time, it will be different. If I still write it, wouldn't it be easy to fall off the vest if I had to cooperate in the future! ”

Pratt & Whitney patted his chest: "I can learn the handwriting of Xiaoye Guoshi!" It's guaranteed to be exactly the same. ”

Ni Xiaoye looked at him affectionately: "Little Puhui, it's really hard for you!" ”

"No, no, no, this is another study of Xiao Ye Guoshi, I am very happy!"
