Yecheng, Guo Wei's Jiedu Embassy, the civil officials led by the strategist Wei Renpu, are arguing fiercely with the generals.

"Liu Chengyou poisoned Liu Zhiyuan and established himself as the king, but we have no evidence, and Liu Chengxun did not come in Huaxia City, we have no reasonable condemnation, and it is difficult to say how the military will gather into combat power. Moreover, this time, Liu Chengyou brought the troops of the three jiedu envoys to come, and the momentum was huge, as long as our army could not hold out, when their morale declined, they would go to battle again, and they would have a greater grasp. Wei Renpu said.

Guo Wei's nephew Li Chongjin said: "The enemy army is coming from afar, and it will inevitably be tired. ”

General Han Daodao: "But our army is less than 10,000, Liu Chengyou is known as 100,000 people, how can he retreat in a battle, and in case the war is stalemate, not only can not frustrate the enemy's spirit, but let our army fall into a predicament." ”

Guo Wei teased his beard slightly, and said: "Although Liu Chengyou is menacing, Li Shouzhen, the envoy of the Yongxing Festival, Zhao Sijuan, and Wang Jingchong, the Fengxiang Jiedu, all have an old relationship with me. ”

The crowd listened to orders.

"Chai Rong, you have business dealings with Li Shouzhen, the envoy of the Hezhong Festival, you can go out of the city in advance and persuade him to retreat, if you wait and see. I should repay him well. ”

Chai Rong stepped forward to receive the order, Zhao Kuangyin and Zheng En asked for orders to go together, and Guo Wei agreed to arrange for the three of them to prepare first.

Chai Rong Mansion.

Chai Rong said to Zhao Kuangyin and Zheng En: "Two virtuous brothers, it is very dangerous to go to the enemy camp to lobby, I can't do it, why should the two brothers risk their lives?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin said: "I have several people to worship as brothers, and now that the second brother is in trouble, how can Zheng En and I stand by and watch, when we advance and retreat together, and return triumphantly." ”

Zheng Eun nodded yes.

The three brothers were busy packing their bags without mentioning it.

That night, the river festival made a team of soldiers outside Li Shouzhen's camp tent to patrol back and forth.

Chai Rong and the three of them lightly touched the vicinity and crouched in the grass.

Chai Rong said to Zhao Kuangyin and Zheng En: "Two brothers, I will go to Li Shouzhen's camp first, and the two of you will respond outside. ”

Zheng En whispered: "Second brother, what are you talking about going back to the army and fighting or something, there is danger that our three brothers will go out side by side, I'm afraid of what's wrong." ”

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Second brother and go with relief, the two of us will go back to the camp with the second brother, even if we want to fight, why be afraid?" ”

Chai Rong said movingly: "So, go for my brother." After that, he touched Li Shouzhen's tent, and when he came to a position not far away, he stood up to meet the soldiers who were patrolling.

"In Xia Chai Dalang, a relative of General Li Shouzhen, the envoy of the festival, came to visit." Chai Rong said that his previous business dealings with Li Shouzhen were all self-proclaimed Chai Dalang.

The patrol soldier stopped Chai Rong and shouted, "You stay here and wait for us to inform the general." After saying that, the soldiers surrounded Chai Rongtuan, and one of the soldiers walked to the door of the camp tent and said loudly: "Report to the general, there is a person who claims to be your relative, and his name is Chai Dalang and asks to see him." ”

Li Shouzhen was puzzled in the camp tent, this is about to be a war, which family relatives came, I heard that it was Chai Dalang, and I had a certain number in my heart, so I shouted and said, "Bring it in." ”

Chai Rong calmly walked into the camp tent, and Li Shouzhen said to the soldiers: "This person is my relative, you go down and give an order, no one is allowed within ten meters of my camp tent." ”

The soldiers were ordered to retreat.

Li Shouzhen said in a cold voice and whispered: "Good Chai Dalang, so bold, aren't you afraid that I will relieve you and receive the reward in front of His Majesty the Han Emperor?" ”

Chai Rong said lightly: "General Li can arrange it as much as possible, I didn't expect my uncle to look away, because he often talks about his friendship with you, I'm afraid that I am today, and I will be you at Liu Chengyou's feet tomorrow." ”

"Don't come to this set, now the two armies are fighting, each for its own master. What are you doing here? ”

"Liu Chengyou was brutal, poisoned his father, and the court killed the minister at will, this time the army came, it is easy to attack my Yecheng, I'm afraid that the next Guo Wei will be the general's disaster of tomorrow, right?"

Li Shouzhen smiled: "I'm afraid that the virtuous nephew is alarmist, poisoning the emperor is a rumor, and the army is pressing, Guo Wei is afraid, right?" Why don't you lead the army to surrender, if you want to come to the Han Emperor's mercy, or spare your life. ”

"Yang Wei and Shi Hongzhao are in front, the minister of Gu Ming has become a minister of life, my uncle has been favored by the ancestors, and he often thinks about repaying the kindness of the king, and now Liu Chengyou is rebellious and poisons the ancestors in the front, intending to assassinate the prince in the back, General Li doesn't know that the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooking?"

Li Shouzhen pondered: "Guo Harrier has something to teach me?" ”

Chai Rong saluted and said: "My uncle asked General Li to lead the army to retreat, and then the general will work with the general to welcome the eldest prince to the throne, prove the emperor's unity, and repay the favor of the ancestors." And I am willing to take the general as the head and support the Han family. ”

Li Shouzhen smiled and helped Chai Rong, and said: "Guo Harrier did not deceive me, the retreat still needs to see the Yongxing Festival and Fengxiang Jie Du to make the will, I can not move, if the battle starts, I can attack my department, and I will retreat to cater to Guo Jun." ”

Chai Rong thanked him, and went back to Yecheng with Zhao Kuangyin and Zheng En to report Guo Wei's decision.
