Yesterday, Ran Min and a few of his men went to the most famous Quandelou roast duck restaurant in Beijing to eat roast duck.

Such an expensive duck, one for each person, eats with a mouth full of oil.

Then, Ran Min invited the big guy to the red tent in the capital to have a dash.

Actually, I didn't plan to go to the Red Tent at first;

Because since you have come to the capital, you have to go to a place where you can hold up a little face to have a good time.

But the problem is that when the big guy comes to the attic,

Ran Min has traveled south and north to see the world,

These people under him directly began to cramp in their legs, and they directly begged Ran Min to change places without even looking at the girl.

It's really too dry and too gorgeous, and the brothers are all from mud legs, and they can't let go even if they hug the girl after entering, and it would be funny if they were nervous about the work below.

Therefore, after the group came to Juchun Pavilion with great interest, they turned to Xizi Hutong in the north of the city even more excitedly.

The red tent is actually a title for this kind of protégé, and in many places, a red tent is erected at the mouth of the tent, indicating that the girl inside is in the leather and meat business.

It's like the hair salon that hung a barbershop sign but didn't even have a pair of scissors;

With a simple, honest, cordial, and peaceful atmosphere.

Because of killing a savage leader, Ran Min not only got a large amount of silver, but also after being absorbed into the Jingnan Army, he was also able to be directly resigned to his fate, and he was in charge of more than a dozen people.

This time I entered Beijing because of the backwardness of the war, and it was necessary to constantly pass news and transport documents back and forth between the front line and the capital.

Ran Min's department was ordered to escort a member of the military department who participated in the front-line negotiations to return to Beijing to resume his life.

It is expected to return in three days, so there will be free time for these few days.

To put it bluntly, in fact, there is such a sense of pride in their bones, in fact, this is also a microcosm of the psychological characteristics of the people of the entire Yanguo at present.

Ran Min, a soldier dressed in the armor of the Jingnan Army, would always be paid in advance by the nearby diners when eating, and then give up:

"Brothers, eat and drink well, I didn't go to the battlefield, but I have to invite these fighting men to eat, and I hope you will give me this face."

I don't care if I will be trained by my mother-in-law after I go back, but now I have to put this score first!

The funniest thing is,

When Ran Min and his subordinates went to the red tent, they were originally going to line up for tea, but when the old and young masters who were also queuing up with signs in front of them saw the armor on their bodies, they immediately shouted for them to invite first.

Even the old bustard in the red tent was also discounted, and at the same time, a little brother was too fast and came twice without adding money.

After a few days of leisure, a lot of money was spent, but everyone had nothing to feel sorry for, after all, it was the silver that they had worked hard for, so they naturally had to spend it desperately.

Most of the people under Ran Min are from other counties in Yan Kingdom, and two of them are incorporated by the Jin people, and there is only one person from Tiancheng County who is really born and raised.

These people are really in love with Yanjing now, and they all think that in the future, they will be promoted to officials and earn money, so they will come to Yanjing to buy a small courtyard for the elderly.

Qiu Ba's dream is so simple and unpretentious.

Of course, it is also because of this city, as well as the atmosphere of Yan Country at this time, that these soldiers are given enough respect.

At the beginning, the civilian soldiers of the Qianguo were called thieves with the army, so in the battle of Yan and Qian, the Qianguo army was often crushed at the touch of a button, and now the official of the Qianguo began to suppress the scholars and doctors to improve the status of the generals.

Ran Min also deliberately sent someone to Nan'an County and gave some silver to the little head catcher he once recognized.

There is not much silver, because Ran Min knows that it is difficult to be rich and expensive on the errand of catching heads, but there is no shortage of oil and water between his fingers;

The reason why I sent some silver over was just to express my heart, my brother has been promoted from a prisoner to the main army of the Jingnan Army, and in another two or three years, my brother's position will be higher, and he will be able to really cover you.

Nan'an County is not far from the capital, and the person who sent the silver is also trying his best, go quickly, and then return quickly, on the night when he will leave for Yingdu tomorrow morning, Ran Min saw the person who sent the silver again, and the other party said that the head catcher in Nan'an County was no longer there, saying that he married the daughter of a butcher in the county and took the girl back to his hometown.

When Ran Min heard this, he didn't say anything else.

He is leaving Yanjing tomorrow, and he has no time to find that little brother for the time being, so he can only sigh with emotion, if there is fate, see you in the future.

Early the next morning, Ran Min led his men out of the capital and came to the school field outside the city to order.

As everyone knows, when they left the inn, on the second floor of the teahouse opposite, Ji Chengjue was sitting there watching them leave.

Gonggong Zhang sat in front of Ji Chengjue to help pour tea, and said with a smile:

"Master, this man is a good man."

Ji Chengjue smiled,

This Ran Min still remembers to give himself some silver flowers, which is indeed very righteous.

Zhang Gonggong continued:

"It's only been a long time, after a war, I have been transferred from a prisoner soldier to a regular army, and in time, I can't say that I am a Hirano Uncle again."

Ji Chengjue shook his head and said:

"In this world, there is only one Zheng Fan."

……

Under the assembly of the school captain, the whole team was brought into control.

They came with a total of 300 horsemen this time, and when they went back, they found that another 300 horsemen were sent out in the capital, a total of 600 horsemen, escorted by Mao Mingcai, the secretary of the Great Yan Army, and the envoys of the Yan State.

Ran Min doesn't like these Chu people, but he is willing to see the Chu people admit defeat and bow their heads.

The matter of the Chu people coming to sue for peace and asking for an alliance has already spread, and in the handsome tent outside Yupan City, there are actually envoys from the Chu State who are doing all kinds of negotiations and arguments day and night, but to put it bluntly, it is still Yanjing City that can really play a decisive role.

Right now, looking at this situation, it should be the covenant that has been negotiated.

This big battle is about to come to an end.

But somehow, Ran Min always felt a little lost in his heart, the tens of thousands of Chu troops in Yupan City had to let them go back alive?

Although Ran Min knew that this was not something he could take care of, he still felt a little unwilling.

Although he has joined the army, the habits of the rivers and lakes in his bones still make him prefer the set of happiness and hatred, and he believes that if you are the first year of junior high school, I will inevitably return to the principle of fifteen.

The procession began to march.

Mao Mingcai, the secretary of the military department, was a member of the court, but this person's personality was very easy-going, on the way, every time he set up camp at night, he would take a stroll in the camp, take a look, and even took the initiative to come over, sit with Ran Min's group of sergeants, drink vegetable soup and chat.

The main thing is that he asked, and Ran Min answered, focusing on the battle of Wangjiang.

Jing Yang, the envoy of the Chu State, was much more low-key, and when he was in the envoy team of the Chu State during the march, he basically did not come out of the tent at night.

On the contrary, the other people in the Chu State Mission occasionally broke out some conflicts with the Yan people, and the two sides fought a few times, of course, they didn't use the sword soldiers, as long as they didn't die, the people above didn't care very much.

marched all the way like this, and when he came to the outside of Yingdu, Prince Cheng Situ Yu led a group of subordinate officials of the palace to greet him.

Mainly came to greet Mao Mingcai, after all, he was a real high-ranking official of the Yan people.

In the post station, Situ Yu bowed to Mao Mingcai first.

Since people give face like this,

Mao Mingcai was not stingy, and took a group of attachés behind him to kneel down and salute Prince Cheng in an orderly manner.

Everyone can also be regarded as "guests and hosts".

Situ Yu invited Mao Mingcai to take a look at Yingdu, and he had already set up a banquet to entertain him, although he was not prepared at all.

Mao Mingcai also refused as a matter of course, saying that he had the emperor's order, and he would bother him again after completing the emperor's order.

Then, Situ Yu left with someone.

Mao Mingcai and his entourage stayed in this post station, and tomorrow they will set off across the Wangjiang River to reach the Jingnan Wang Shuai tent.

And the messenger who reported the news had been sent out early, and the front line should have received the news.

In the evening, Mao Mingcai called Ran Min again and chatted with him.

There is a reason why Ran Min can be appreciated by the Six Princes, some people, even if they are humble, can naturally feel different and get people's attention.

The last person who achieved this way was naturally Uncle Hirano.

Ran Min's luck is actually not bad, because Mao Ming likes his conversation and heroism without restraint, and the two have the meaning of putting down their identities and "calling them brothers".

This is the fortune, the unstoppable fortune.

"So, you were supposed to go to Shengle?"

"Yes, my lord, I was first arranged to be assigned to Shengle to defend it, but because of the war in front of me, the prince of Jingnan went out to fight, and our group of people was drawn to the front line."

"It's also good luck, just in time for this battle, from a prisoner to a regular army, it is not easy."

"That's what my lord said."

"However, in other words, if you don't go to Chengsheng Le City and fail to follow that Uncle Hirano, you may also miss an opportunity."

"Uncle Hirano, the villain is extremely admired."

A few years ago, he was the head of Qian, and he belonged to the list of conscripts and people, and then climbed up quickly step by step, and while constantly being appreciated by the bigwigs, he also accumulated unquestionable military merits again and again, and was named the Earl of the General Army.

Now, the legend of Uncle Zheng is popular everywhere in the Great Yan Army;

After all, no matter what era it is, this kind of grassroots rise is the most popular and recognizable, because the vast majority of people are grassroots.

"Alas, Uncle Hirano, I've always wanted to make friends, but I don't have the opportunity, and I haven't read the book "Zheng Zi's Art of War" written by him no less than three times.

For outsiders, this is undoubtedly a masterpiece of soldiers;

Actually, at the beginning, I thought that some of the things in this were written too generally, like a framework, which seemed complicated, but in fact it was empty;

But looking at the results of Uncle Zheng's troops along the way, I realized that people may just write it casually and show it to laymen. ”

"This book, this time in the Beijing Book Pavilion, I also bought it, and I've been reading it recently."

"Okay, take a look more, learn more, see the sages, I look forward to it, and I will have another famous general in Dayan!"

"Thank you, for your praise!"

"You are not a thing in the pool, I can be regarded as giving you a bottom in advance, but unfortunately, although I am now the secretary of the Ministry of War, and the affairs of the Ministry of War are under my jurisdiction, but on the side of the Jingnan Army, my hand cannot reach in at all."

After speaking, Mao Ming picked up the tea and looked at Ran Min while drinking.

The meaning of solicitation here is extremely obvious.

Ran Min naturally knew that it was time to make his own choice.

Plainly

He doesn't really have much choice.

I'm just a chief, but I'm a soldier in the book.

When people are willing to talk to themselves, they have already given themselves a big face.

After a moment's hesitation,

Ran Min got up and knelt down in front of Mao Mingcai:

"The Jingnan Army is the Jingnan Army of Dayan, the Jingnan Army of the Imperial Court, and the Jingnan Army of His Majesty.

Mao Mingcai nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his hand to help him, and said:

"Get up."

"Master Xie."

Ran Min stood up.

"After this announcement, you can go back to Beijing with me."

"Everything is at your command!"

"yes, okay."

At this time, the pro-soldier outside the tent reported:

"My lord, the envoy of the state of Chu asks to see you."

"Let him in."

After speaking, Mao Mingcai stood up and tidied up his clothes.

Ran Min was about to leave, but was stopped by Mao Mingcai with a smile and said:

"See you together."

Jingyang walked in, but he was not wearing an official uniform, but a robe with Chu characteristics.

"Brother Mao."

"Brother Jing."

The two did not call themselves officials, but rather brothers.

"Brother Jing came here late at night, what do you have to say?"

"I don't dare to see the teaching, but I just feel that tomorrow after you and I announce the decree together, we will be separated, and I feel a little reluctant, so I take the liberty to come late at night to talk about it."

Mao Mingcai nodded and said:

"It just so happens that Prince Cheng gave me some good tea during the day, so I'll send someone to make tea."

"Excellent, excellent."

Ran Min didn't need too many instructions, and took the initiative to go out to boil water with the tea leaves.

After stepping out of the tent,

He took a deep breath,

Look up at the stars in the sky.

Until now, his brain is actually still a little hot, but he knows that his road has widened.

Every time Mao Mingcai walked around the camp and talked to everyone, he would deliberately and implicitly express himself, and he finally attracted the attention of this big man.

The armor of the Jingnan army,

He really likes,

But the appreciation of the military department's book,

He couldn't give up.

Since the day he killed in court, he swore in his heart that since the rivers and lakes could not give him real freedom, then he would snatch back everything he wanted on the battlefield.

In fact, Jingyang and Mao Mingcai were really just chatting casually, not talking about anything serious, nothing more than Yandi customs and Chudi customs.

didn't talk very late, about half an hour, Jingyang got up and said goodbye and went back to his tent.

Ran Min took the initiative to put away the tea set,

Mao Mingcai sat down,

Stretched,

Opening:

"The dry people are so elegant, the Jin people are good yangfeng, and the Chu people are good manners, but I am the only Yan people, and I am not interesting;

Hehe, that's true.

That Chu State is looking for me tonight, in fact, he doesn't want to talk about anything, he just wants to get rid of the etiquette of his Chu people, but I, a Yan person, are really too tormented when talking to him. ”

I don't have anything to say, and it's really uncomfortable to chat.

And the two of them can't talk about business, and they can't even touch each other, otherwise they will be accused of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country if they are not careful.

Ran Min smiled:

"Actually, everyone will live a good life, but we Yan people have had too hard a hard time in the past."

When Mao Mingcai heard this, he nodded thoughtfully and said:

"This is insightful, why can't my Yan people chant poems in Jiangnan, why can't my Yan people indulge in songs in Daze, Chudi?

In the future, it's all possible. ”

Ran Min responded:

"Hurry up."

"Quick?"

"Because we only have the Yang Wind in our hands now."

"You...... Hahaha........."

Mao Mingcai laughed.

Then he waved his hand, stopped laughing, and said:

"That's it, in that case, the official doesn't dare to keep you in the tent for a long time."

"Adults, you rest, villains retire first."

……

Early the next morning, the procession departed from the post station.

By noon, the team came to the Wangjiang River.

When he got on the ferry, Ran Min saw someone galloping on a horse on the other side of the river, but the horse seemed to be a little too burly.

When the ferry reached the middle of the river, the man on the other side of the horse was also holding the reins there, as if he had spotted the team and was waiting.

And Ran Min also saw clearly that what the crotch was riding was not a horse at all, but a beast.

"Who is the lord on the other side, actually riding a beast?"

Ran Min muttered to himself.

At this time, Mao Mingcai also came over and said with a smile:

"It's not a Pixiu, it's a Pixiu."

"Pixiu?"

The flag of the Yan Kingdom is the Black Dragon Flag;

But Pixiu is the real totem of Yan Kingdom, because no one has ever seen a dragon, but Pixiu has always existed.

In the case of Pi Beast, the civil and military who have reached the official position can actually have the opportunity to be given, but Pixiu is different, and it is not really a top power.

"The person on the other side should be the one who almost became your peak in the first place."

"Uncle Zheng?"

"It should be, King Jingnan once deliberately wrote to the court to ask for a Pixiu, it is said that it was to give it to him.

That was before the war, and then, sure enough, just like a sword gifted to a celebrity, Uncle Zheng did fight a very beautiful battle. ”

When Ran Min heard this, his heart yearned for it,

Five points of envy, five points of deliberate emotion:

"I want it too."

When Mao Mingcai heard this, he said:

"Do things well in the future, you will have a chance."

The flotilla docked, and everyone began to disembark.

Zheng Fan continued to sit on Pixiu, and for the past two days, he has been in contact with this Pixiu.

The effect is surprisingly good, this Pixiu is obviously different from the last time we met for the first time, and now he is very kind to himself.

General Zheng once thought that this beast had such a high IQ that he had learned to hate the poor and love the rich?

Before, when he was just General Shengle, he ignored himself, but now that he is an earl, he is close to himself?

Actually, Uncle Zheng was wrong.

Because that night, after being frightened by the "true appearance" of many demon kings, in the cognition of this Pixiu, it has become a "slave" under the hands of the demon kings.

Beasts, in fact, have this instinct to surrender and be surrendered, of course, people also have it, but people are good at covering up.

So, in this Pixiu's view,

Zheng Fan is the same as himself,

It's all the slaves under the hands of the demon king,

The same end of the earth has fallen to man and beast,

Naturally, we should huddle together to warm up and comfort our souls.

Uncle Zheng was touching Pixiu's mane while waiting for the person who put it on to come down, looking at the other party's two completely different official uniform systems, and looking at the flag raised by the other party, there is no doubt that it should be the team that came to announce the covenant.

King Jingnan has called himself here for a few days, and Uncle Zheng has actually been waiting for the so-called scenery, but he hasn't seen anything.

He didn't dare to go to Tian Wujing to get to the bottom of it, because big people always have a taste for playing dumb riddles.

Just like Patriarch Bodhi knocked Wukong on the back of the head three times,

You went directly to ask for the answer, but people were not happy.

Moreover, Tian Wujing has always regarded himself as his "student", Liang Cheng is not around, and Uncle Zheng does not even have a person to help solve the problem.

Then

A middle-aged man with an extremely generous bearing got off the boat, and after glancing at the other party's official uniform, Uncle Zheng immediately realized that there were big fish in the announcement team.

At that moment, Zheng Fan didn't dare to take it big, so he immediately turned over and took the initiative to meet him.

Mao Mingcai looked at Zheng Fan, first bowed to Zheng Fan, and said:

"Your Majesty, is it Uncle Zheng Fan?"

"It's Zheng, please ask .........?"

"This official Mao Mingcai."

"Oh."

"............" Mao Mingcai.

The scene was embarrassing all of a sudden.

Then, Zheng Fan spoke:

"Long admiration, long admiration."

Mao Mingcai could only say for a while:

"Look up for a long time, look up for a long time."

To be reasonable, Zheng Fan really didn't know that the person in front of him named Mao Mingcai was the real leader in his name, after all, he was the secretary of the Ministry of War.

But this kind of "relationship network" is usually done by blind people doing work and collecting information, and Zheng Fan directly asks the blind man when he needs it.

And since General Zheng debuted, he has been following King Jingnan, basically not using any regulations from the Ministry of War, sometimes even if he comes into contact, it is just a normal process.

The most important thing is that Mao Mingcai is the newly appointed secretary of the military department.

Jing Yang, the envoy of the State of Chu, walked out at this time, glanced at Zheng Fan, and then at the Pixiu behind Zheng Fan, and said:

"Jingyang, the envoy of the State of Chu, has seen Uncle Pingye of the Yan State."

"I've seen the Chu envoy."

Mao Ming is a little depressed, and the key to depression is that Zheng Fan doesn't seem to really want to give himself a blow or anything, but people may really not know about it.

And the people around him were afraid of Zheng Fan's identity, even if they saw it, they didn't dare to say anything to remind them.

You can't point at Zheng Fan arrogantly like in the play and shout:

"Uh, boy, do you know who is standing in front of you!"

In fact, it stands to reason that when the chief military officer sees the military department, it is really equivalent to seeing the direct leader, but Zheng Fan has the title of Earl of Pingye personally awarded by Emperor Yan, and while Da Yan is heavy on military merits, he is also extremely stingy with the title.

Therefore, with the identity of Uncle Hirano, he can also afford to be on an equal footing with Mao Mingcai.

As a last resort, Mao Mingcai could only speak again:

"Uncle Hirano, this official is the secretary of the military department of the dynasty."

"Ah......h

Zheng Fan smiled,

I know I'm going too far,

So very sincerely:

"Please also ask Lord Mao for forgiveness."

Saying,

Zheng Fan made a gesture and prepared to kneel down,

Mao Mingcai hurriedly stretched out his hand to support,

Also laughed and said:

"Uncle Hirano is the border for the country, and he conquers the snow field and the customs, although I sit in this position, but after all, I live in Yanjing, how dare I accept the gift of Uncle Hirano."

Zheng Fan also straightened up, and the speed was so fast that Mao Mingcai stumbled.

Mao Mingcai didn't say anything.

Ran Min on the side saw this scene and silently gritted his back molars.

In fact, Zheng Fan is really "acting in his true colors", he simply doesn't know him, and he doesn't want to deliberately lose face.

But in Ran Min's view, this kind of "casualness" is what he really yearns for, and he can still be so calm and calm in the face of a book of the current dynasty, this is the kind of identity and status he wants.

At the same time, this chief, who had just joined the army for less than a year, also sighed slightly in his heart, because he would have been transferred to Shengle City under the man in front of him.

"Dare to ask where the prince of Jingnan is?" Mao Mingcai asked.

"The marshal's tent of the Chinese army."

"Okay."

This embarrassing meeting finally came to an end, and when the follow-up teams crossed the river by ferry, the receiving team of the Jingnan Army arrived there.

It's not that it's deliberately lazy, but that today's announcement team is in a hurry, and originally according to the message from yesterday's fast horse, it said that it would be about dusk before crossing the river.

Zheng Fan rode on his Pixiu, and together with Mao Mingcai, he went to the Chinese army camp.

Mao Mingcai didn't mind Zheng Fan's previous "rudeness", and still talked to Zheng Fan very kindly;

General Zheng finally regained his acting skills, and he and Mao Mingcai "talked very happily" and "hated to see each other late".

Actually, it's because both sides want to resolve the previous embarrassment.

When the announcement team entered the gate of the Chinese army camp, Chen Yang, the chief soldier of the Jingnan Army, went out to greet him instead of the king of Jingnan.

Chen Yang rode on a horse and gave a military salute to Mao Mingcai,

Road:

"The prince has a lot of military affairs, and the special general will come to receive Lord Mao."

Chen Yang is an old man in the Jingnan Army, and he was promoted by Tian Wujing ten years ago, and sat all the way to the position of the chief soldier of the Jingnan Army.

Moreover, his attitude, which was really quite cold, with a very clear disrespectful gesture.

King Jingnan's refusal to accept the holy decree in the past caused the two eunuchs to crash into the stone lion and die, but it was not far away, and these big army leaders in the Jingnan army were not so cold to the so-called holy decree team, and even to the so-called military department Shangshu.

After all, Tian Wujing was personally in charge of the Jingnan Army for more than ten years, and during these years, the Jingnan Army was completely separated from the imperial military department and self-contained.

You can't control me, so why should I be afraid of you?

But

With Chen Yang as a comparison,

Mao Mingcai and others also felt that the previous Uncle Hirano was really a little rare kind and cute.

"The prince has a lot of military affairs, so he doesn't need to bother with these false courtesies, but he still bothers to report to the prince, so I said that today, the envoy and I will announce the letters of state of the two countries."

It means that we don't need to be vain, but when we do the right thing, we still need King Jingnan to come forward.

Chen Yang nodded and said:

"The last general will go to the prince."

Next, the proclamation procession began to prepare.

In fact, the reason why he is so eager is because of Jingyang's urging, the Qingluan army is still starving in Yupan City, and the sooner he conveys his will, he will be able to die less Chu ** soldiers.

Zheng Fan did not stay here at the mission, but entered the military village with Chen Yang.

"You're going to greet you?" Chen Yang asked.

"Am I that idle?" Zheng Fan replied, "I just happened to be walking there and ran into it." ”

Hearing this, Chen Yang looked down at the Pixiu under Zheng Fan's crotch.

It can be seen that he is indeed very envious of Zheng Fan's treatment, and at the same time, he did not hide it in the slightest:

"I'm going to have one of these, and I'm going to go out for a walk a lot."

Chen Yang's temper is still very appetizing to Zheng Fan, what do you say, it seems to be cold and a little disrespectful, but it is really not pretending.

Hearing this, Uncle Zheng also patted Pixiu's head and said:

"Not really."

Chen Yang let out a "heh", and when the two of them were about to get close to the handsome tent, they got off their mounts together and walked into it.

It just so happened that the King of Jingnan was sitting on a chair outside the tent.

Chen Yang stepped forward to report:

"Lord Wang, the announcement team is here, and Mao Mingcai, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is outside, and they can't wait."

King Jingnan waved his hand and said:

"Help them set up the field."

"Yes, the last will obey."

Chen Yang immediately went down to make arrangements, but Zheng Fan didn't have anything to do, and his soldiers and horses were not here, so he didn't need to arrange anything.

King Jingnan stretched out his hand and pointed to the Yupan City in the distance,

Road:

"It's time for peace talks."

Zheng Fan also followed Tian Wujing's tone, sighed, and said:

"It's a pity."

"What a pity?"

Zheng Fan replied with a smile:

"It's a pity that we couldn't let the Chu people starve to death a few more."

King Jingnan stretched out his hand and pointed at Zheng Fan, and said:

"For generals, there should be a big picture."

"Yes, the end will be taught."

Tian Wujing stood up,

Road:

"Come, help this king to put on armor."

……

On the wall of Yupan City, there have always been Chu troops guarding, they stand very straight, and there are many people, but in fact, this is only a superficial project.

The real situation in Yupan City is that the shortage of food is too serious.

Except for the day when the main army of savages was defeated, the Yan army made a feint, and after that, the Yan army never launched any siege battles.

The Chu people waited on the city wall, and the Yan people built a "wall" around Yupan City.

It's like a two-person stubble,

One shouted: "Come up!"

The other disdainfully "hehe" and responded: You come out!

In fact, at the beginning, the Chu army tried to break through the outer wall several times, but the counterattack of the Yan people was also quite fierce, and the Chu people could kill it for a while, but they did not have enough time to tear down the "wall".

After a few times, the Chu people gave up, because the demolition of the wall did not have a particularly big meaning for them.

Outside Yupan City, Pingchuan, the Qingluan army was dominated by foot soldiers, while the Yan army was dominated by cavalry.

Under the premise that there are no reinforcements from outside, the breakthrough of the Qingluan army will inevitably turn into a tragic rout, and the Yan people don't even need to directly attack your military formation, but keep attacking you in the way of wheel warfare, and you can't hold out for long at all.

But the food dilemma in the city is already extremely serious.

Qu Tiannan stood on the city tower, and he saw several times people in Chu official uniforms passing under the city wall, shouting from afar.

But whenever he tried to send someone out of the city to contact, the Yan army on the periphery would immediately shoot the people he sent out with arrows.

It's a really weird scene.

Obviously, the envoys and officials of their own country are in the tent of the Yan army marshal,

Obviously, the so-called peace negotiation has been going on for so long,

But now the Chu army, which is still holding on to Yupan City, has no way to participate in it at all.

It's as if they're just a hanging ornament.

If it's really just a hanging ornament, that's actually pretty good.

What made Qu Tiannan unbearable the most was that he couldn't send people out on his side, but many officials sent by his own family over there liked to shout outside the city wall.

The effect of their shouting was also obvious, and the morale of the army, which was already floating due to lack of food, began to dissipate more and more.

To tell the truth, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't get out now, according to Qu Tiannan's temper in the past, he would really directly slaughter all those civilian officials who like to go to the city wall to shout to "appease" the hearts of the army!

Fortunately, the Qingluan Army can be regarded as the Qu family's private soldiers to a certain extent, so even at this time, Qu Tiannan can still roughly control this army.

But how long it can last, Qu Tiannan is not clear.

As one of the pillars of the Chu State, he could understand the meaning of the imperial court's desire to negotiate peace, because the Chu State was not completely stable, and at the same time, at this time, sending a large army out of Zhennanguan to come here to relieve the siege was not to mention the long road, and it was easy to be attacked by the Yan people.

But Qu Tiannan's thought in his heart was that this battle should continue.

Da Chu has his own problems, so is it possible that there is no problem at all if he becomes a Yan person?

The confrontation between major powers is often a matter of who can carry it better and who can hold that breath better.

But

Looking back at the Qingluan sergeant he brought out behind him,

seem

It is also a gratifying thing to be able to bring them back to China safely.

but

Can I really do it?

"Woo woo woo ........................"

In the army of the Yan people, there was a horn sound. This is the first time in recent times that the Yan army on the opposite side has made another move.

Qu Tiannan came to the battlements and looked into the distance, his eyes narrowed slightly.

The Yan army camp moved, and a group of Yan cavalry began to detour in the north and south directions of Yupan City on a large scale, but it didn't look like it was going to attack the city, because the Yan army did not push up the siege equipment.

After the Yan army's military formation was arranged, two teams of officials dressed in different official uniforms walked towards the city wall of Yupan City.

The two leaders on both sides both held the holy decree with both hands, and the followers behind them also played the black dragon flag of the Yan State and the phoenix flag of the Chu State respectively.

Qu Tiannan's heart was a little panicked for a while,

But there is a little bit of luck.

At the same time, the Chu army on the city wall let out cheers.

The Qingluan Army is the top-ranked army of the Chu State, and it stands to reason that the quality and toughness will not be bad, but no matter how elite the troops are, they have been besieged for so long in a state of lack of food, even if they are boiling bloody, they will be weakened.

The soldiers also knew that the peace talks had been successful, the covenant had been concluded, and they could leave the damn place and return home.

Mao Mingcai and Jingyang are one right and one left,

Spread out the decree separately,

It was read out by Mao Mingcai first,

This was followed by Jingyang.

When the decree is read,

Jingyang entered Yupan City with the national letter, and Mao Mingcai retreated.

Half an hour later,

On the city tower above the west gate of Yupan City, Qu Tiannan's figure appeared.

"Let's open the city gate, it's okay, but I want you Yan Guo Jing Nanhou to personally come out with a credential to vouch!"

After the covenant was made,

The kingdoms of Yan and Chu will become countries of brothers.

The Qingluan army, which was trapped in Yupan City, will be able to leave the city and return to China.

According to the details on the national letter, the Qingluan army can not remove its armor, but it must hand over the blades such as crossbow arrows and arrows.

So

As the commander of the Qingluan Army,

Qu Tiannan needed Tian Wujing to come out alone and assure him.

Of course, he didn't know that Nanhou of Yan State had been promoted to prince, so he was still called Jingnanhou.

Time

The Chu army inside the city and the Yan army outside the city were solemn.

The oppressive atmosphere didn't last long, though;

When a majestic figure wearing gilded armor and riding a Pixiu slowly came out of the Yan army array,

The defenders of the Chu State on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts almost at the same time.

Tian Wujing came to the city wall, and Pixiu stopped.

Qu Tiannan jumped and slipped down from the city wall, without a blade, and naturally without horses, so he walked to Tian Wujing in a grand manner.

"Tut-tut........."

Zheng Fan couldn't help but smack his lips.

Is it handsome to go alone? Of course handsome.

But to be honest, not everyone dares to have the courage to play anything with King Jingnan and go to the meeting alone.

Without him,

Tian Wujing is an existence that can defeat the Sword Master!

And not long ago, Uncle Zheng had just used the force bug of the Sword Saint to successfully go to the meeting with a single knife against the savage Wanhu Gerim.

However, it seems that King Jingnan is not as shameless as himself.

Qu Tiannan stood in front of King Jingnan,

King Jingnan did not dismount.

To put it nicely, it was the two countries that signed an alliance with their troops, but in fact, Chu was the one who bowed his head, so, as the victor, sit on Pixiu and look down at you a little,

Is there something wrong?

Qu Tiannan didn't mind this,

He just slowly raised the holy decree of the Chu State in the palm of his hand.

King Jingnan also raised the holy decree of the Yan Kingdom in his hand.

Although the alliance between the two countries has a lot of details and involves a wide range of aspects, the speed is actually very fast, because the Chu State cannot afford to delay.

"Tian Wujing, I lost, but I have to be responsible for these sons and daughters under my command.

I want you to take this letter of swear,

Immediately after the oath, I will order the gates of the city to be opened! ”

After that,

Qu Tiannan looked at Tian Wujing.

Shaoqing,

Tian Wujing said:

"Huang Tian is on the earth as a witness, I, Tian Wujing, if I violate the covenant, my body will rot, my soul will fall forever, and the sky will abandon it!"

Qu Tiannan looked at Tian Wujing and swore an oath,

Turning around,

Beckoned to the back.

"Squeak.........

The gates of Yupan City, which had been closed for several months, were slowly opened from the inside at this time.

A group of Chu soldiers who could clearly see that they were hungry and even pale-faced, walked out of the city gate in a queue.

And their weapons were laid at the gates of the city.

Qu Tiannan turned his head, looked at Tian Wujing on Pixiu, and said:

"If there is a chance in this life, I will also let you Tian Wujing once."

King Jingnan ignored it,

Pixiu turned around and returned to the army.

Jingyang also walked out of the city gate, came to Qu Tiannan's side, and said:

"Zhuguo, the regent knows that your hard work is not easy."

Qu Tiannan shook his head and said:

"I have to say this after I go back to China."

forthwith

Feeling that his words were a little too cold, he said:

"It's also hard work, you've worked hard."

"Zhu Guo's words are serious, Zhu Guo can collect the team, I will go to the Yan Army Lieutenant General to make a final conclusion to the covenant, and at the same time, let the Yan people give us some food first according to the covenant.

Soldiers, they have worked hard. ”

Qu Tiannan let out a sigh when he heard this.

When he set out on the expedition, he really never imagined that this battle would end in such a humiliating way.

……

"Heh, you still have such fun."

Although he had known the approximate outcome of the covenant for a long time, Uncle Zheng still found it interesting that in this era, there was still such an act of releasing prisoners of war.

Of course, the Chu people did not feel that they were prisoners of war, because they had concluded an alliance, so the Chu ** team should return to China.

The Yan State also used this Qingluan army as a bargaining chip, hoping to exchange more benefits from the Chu State.

However, Zheng Fan had also heard the blind man say that the habits of the Chu people were different from those in other places, because the Chu people were the model of the great nobles governing their families and countries.

Therefore, there will be a situation where several big nobles meet each other in arms, and in the end, even if the opposing general is captured, they will be sent back

In battle, the soldiers can die, but the nobles must live.

In fact, the Spring and Autumn Period, which Zheng Fan is familiar with, is also such a play, the main generals and nobles will be placed, and then sent back after receiving the ransom.

It was the same in the Middle Ages in Europe, even in war, where both sides would protect the lives of the nobles with great tacit understanding.

Because they both feel that they are nobles, this life is naturally much more valuable than that of ordinary soldiers.

The untouchables are the heads, and if they are consumed, they will be consumed, it doesn't matter.

The Chu people were leaving the city, and Jingyang found Mao Mingcai and asked Mao Mingcai to follow the covenant and allocate a batch of grain and grass first.

After King Jingnan returned to the army, he did not stop, but rode Pixiu directly to the riverside.

Zheng Fan and a group of guards followed.

The king of Jingnan got down from Pixiu and stood on the edge of the Wangjiang River.

The guards did not dare to step forward and disturb the prince at this time.

Only Zheng Fan walked over.

King Jingnan stretched out his hand and pointed to the Wangjiang River in front of him,

Road:

"What do you think of the scenery?"

Zheng Fan said: "The river is vast, the sky is high and the clouds are light. ”

"yes, that's too light."

"Lord Wang, let them go this time, wait for a few years of recuperation, and then accompany the prince again, and then pick them up again."

Tian Wujing smiled,

Turning around,

Looking at Zheng Fan,

Road:

"I just told you, as a general, you should be bold. Do you think that's what the king cares about right now? ”

"No, the prince, I don't mean that, the prince's mind is naturally broader than the sun and the moon, and the general's admiration for the prince is like this endless water ......... the river."

Tian Wujing raised his hand and interrupted Zheng Fan's cumbersome ass.

Zheng Fan also closed his mouth knowingly.

Tian Wujing turned to face Wangjiang and stood with his hands in his hands.

Zheng Fan has been standing here with him.

Long

Tian Wujing said:

"Zheng Fan, the chief soldier of the Snow Customs, obeyed the order."

Zheng Fan was stunned for a moment, but immediately knelt down on one knee and said sincerely:

"The last general!"

Tian Wujing squatted down,

Holding a handful of river water with both hands,

While washing his hands, he said very calmly:

"Punish it."
