Qiao Fang said: "First of all, the old man promised General Liu's words, and he still counts. And General Liu might as well just come to inform the old man about the matter of the third prince today. Hurry back today, control your tens of thousands of people, and the old man promises that even if he attacks, he will not fight. To tell the truth, the old man must take people to Beijing. For the sake of former colleagues, for those who stand in the way, the old man will salute first and then soldier. If General Liu and the others have the same intention of defecting to the old man, the old man will naturally welcome it. If you don't want to, the old man will naturally not be reluctant, but I don't want you to block the old man's way. Let's go to the road, and go to each side. What does General Liu think? ”

"Thank you for your leniency."

Qiao Fang said: "Originally, this kind of thing should be talked back and forth a few more times, and it is the best policy to negotiate the conditions." Unfortunately, the timing is not good, so we can only take 'harmony as precious' as the guideline. The old man had already ordered the siege of Ge Hong's troops. ”

"Surrounding? How can the Weizhou army have such strength? Two hundred thousand surround two hundred thousand? Liu Zhi couldn't believe it.

"General Liu also believes that Ge Hong sent troops with 200,000 soldiers and horses this time? Do you not know how many of your army are paid empty salaries? Qiao Fang's words almost made Liu Zhi unable to raise his head, "But the Weizhou army is a real 200,000. ”

"Shame on you! And all that was done according to the words of the Grand Governor. ”

"Wait, the old man will send a few more people to follow you, and if there is news, it will be convenient to pass on." Qiao Fang high-fived three times, and three strong men walked in from the outside, all of whom were in their thirties, and they knew that they had been in the army for many years at a glance. One of the eyebrows seemed to be somewhat similar to Qiao Fang's. Liu Zhi thought that he heard that Qiao Fang's two sons were in the army, and the fourth son, Qiao Xing, had already seen it, could this person be the third son, Qiao Yue? But Sanrao's posture was very low, and they all hugged their fists at Liu Zhi: "I am willing to listen to General Liu's dispatch." ”

The military situation was urgent, Liu Zhi didn't have time to ask any more, nodded and said goodbye to Qiao Fang.

When changing horses and resting on the way, Liu Zhi noticed that a man like Qiao Fang was called "Third Brother" by the other two, and the "Third Brother" called the other two "Lao Li" and "Lao Liu". There was no difference in the others, the three of them ate and drank the same, without deliberate humility.

Although Qiao Fang's military order was issued, it took time for the army to move, and in order to fully realize the encirclement, coupled with Qiao Fang's arrangement, several people galloped along the way, bypassing Zhu Li's front army and Ge Hong's Chinese army, and returned to Jin Fu's rear army that night.

From afar, Liu Zhi and the others found that something was wrong with the rear army. There were torches everywhere, and in the dark of night, it was impossible to tell which side of the centaur it was.

From the night wind came a uniform shout:

"Adulteration of military rations is intolerable!"

"Arrest the corrupt and return my innocence!"

"Yuantai people don't fight Yuantai people!"

Several Rao eyes looked in the direction where the voice came from, and there was undoubtedly Wei Zhoujun.

"Password!" In the darkness of the night, someone suddenly asked a loud question.

"Summer solstice." Liu Zhi replied subconsciously. Unexpectedly, an arrow swished over, and several people heard the arrow and dodged quickly, and there was still a horse with an arrow that neighed miserably

Shoot the man before the horse! The other party's target is the horse!

It's too late, it's too soon! I only heard someone shouting: "Hai Dongqing! I'm Qiao Yue, I want to see General Yuan Lie! ”

Liu looked straight at the person who shouted, it was the "third brother". It seems that "Hai Dongqing" is Wei Jiajun's password today. Yuan Lie, he knows, is Qiao Fang's right-hand man.

Three men stood up in the darkness, each with a large mass of thatch for cover, bows in their hands, and arrows already set. One of the sentinels asked, "Is there a way?" ”

"Here." Qiao Yue replied.

Click, another dark sentinel lit an oil lamp, held it up, and looked at the visitor.

After checking the road guide, the dark sentry led a few people to Yuan Lie's tent.

Yuan Lie naturally knew Qiao Yue, and the two had no extra words, Qiao Yue said: "General Yuan, we urgently need to go to the Jin Fu army." What is the current situation? ”

Yuan Lieqi said: "The third prince came so fast! Did you meet the messenger halfway? ”

Qiao Yue said in a word: "Father has already made arrangements. ”

Yuan Lie hurriedly introduced the battle situation: "This morning, the last general was ordered to surround the other party, but he saw that the two armies of Jin Fu and Ge Hong were already strong and stubborn, and they looked at each other angrily. There seemed to be a mutiny in the Jin Fu army, but there was no chaos and it was controlled. Coupled with us, the three parties are now facing each other and forming horns against each other. Jin Fu sent someone over to spread the word, willing to negotiate with the Grand Governor. The last general knew that the matter was extraordinary, so he sent someone to report the expedited army to the Grand Governor. I thought it would be at least clear before there was a reply. The third prince is actually here now. The last general will send the third prince over. ”

Qiao Yue, Liu Zhi and others were sent out of the defense area by Yuan Lie and entered Jin Fu's formation. With Liu Zhi there, naturally no one stopped him, and he soon saw Jin Fu.

Retreating, Liu Zhi introduced Qiao Yue to Jin Fu, and asked, "General, what's going on with the confrontation between the three armies?" ”

Jin Fu said: "The general sent ten personal soldiers to call me over, and I felt that something was wrong, so I disobeyed." did not go with those pro-soldiers, but detained the people, and gave orders to prepare for battle. When the general learned of the movement on my side, he immediately set up a defensive position...... Who knows, Yuan Lie happened to call at this time, and you didn't reply, so I sent him a message to see Governor Qiao. Yuan Lie also stopped. No, here you are. ”

As soon as Liu Zhi saw that Jin Fu had already made a choice, his original concerns were put out of his mind, and he chose the main point of his conversation with Qiao Xing and Qiao Fang: "The Metropolitan Governor welcomes us to join." Let's do it!"

Jin Fu looked at Qiao Yue: "It's just that I'm looking at the meaning of the Metropolitan Governor, it seems that he is just surrounding and not fighting?" ”

Qiao Yue lowered his posture very low: "Father and handsome think of the friendship of his comrades, and he can't bear to use the sword." However, Wei Zhoujun's justice could not be ignored, so he could only make this decision. I also ask the generals to let the Weizhou army go. The practice of shouting trumpets at night is also to let the soldiers know that Wei Zhoujun's trip is definitely not aimed at his own people! ”

Jin Fu said: "Everyone is here to survive, if not, who wants to make a fish die and break the net?" ”

Qiao Yue said: "The father and the commander are also hoping to stabilize both sides, and if they can, they won't do it." In addition, the father also hopes to ally with General Ge. ”

Jin Fu was surprised: "Can the Metropolitan Governor move General Ge?" With his understanding of the general, he only listens to His Majesty's orders, and he will never listen to his words. ”

Qiao Yue said: "No matter what, you have to try to know." After all, when it comes to fighting, all the lives are paid, and all Yuantai spares his life. ”

Jin Fu said: "To fight is to become a king and to lose a king." The skills are not as good as others, and there is nothing to lose for. In that case, let's wait for the time being. However, can Yuan Lie's shouting at me stop for a while? ”

Qiao Yue said: "Previously, it was General Yuan who sent us over, and since General Jin is a friend, he will naturally stop shouting." 166 Reading Network
