Text Chapter 43: The East Battalion borrows troops

Seeing Nangong Yuan's reaction, he naturally understood what he was thinking at this time, but it was not that he didn't trust Nangong Yuan, but that the soldiers were in line with the two into one, and they were in Nangong Yuan's hands, if this matter was spread, I was afraid that he would cause trouble, not only that, but many people in Fengdu were afraid that they would not be able to sit still.

Yan Li felt the need to make it clear to Nangong Yuan, so he said meaningfully: "General Nangong, listen to me, the military talisman is for you, His Royal Highness King Kang and I are the most assured, otherwise I won't tell you that the talisman is here with me." But do you know why His Royal Highness King Kang didn't hand it over to you directly"?

"Why"? Nangong Yuan said coldly.

"General Nangong, if the soldiers meet the requirements and show them in front of people, they will soon be transmitted to Fengdu, is this really good for General Nangong, and is it really good for the current Fire Phoenix Kingdom?"

After hearing this, Nangong Yuan turned his head and looked at Yan Li, admittedly, he woke up with a word, Nangong Yuan thought about it again, the matter of the military talisman should not be too public, otherwise after this incident, the general's mansion is afraid that it will not be peaceful. Nangong Yuan's face softened a little, looked at Yan Li and said, "If Zhai Hong doesn't recognize it, how sure are you?"

"Five points", he grinned.

"Hmm...", Nangong Yuan's brows furrowed again.

"General Nangong, I think you should think about how to deal with it if you really mobilize the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Battalion, after returning to Fengdu, someone asks how to deal with it."

"If you can let Zhai Hong be dispatched at will, I will deal with it after returning to Fengdu."

"Okay, in this case, I just try my best to convince General Zhai", Zhan Li shrugged his eyebrows with a smile, and left the camp without waiting for Nangong Yuan to say anything.

"High priest", Zhai Hong greeted him when he saw him leaving.

"Mr. Zhai, where do I live"?

"This way, please...", Zhai Hong pulled out a big smile and walked in front of Zhan Li.

Bypassing a Chinese military tent, a few steps away, Zhai Hong lifted the tent curtain and said, "High priest, please."

As soon as he lowered his head, he raised his feet and stepped in, looking shabby, but he knew that he had put a lot of thought into it. The low bed is soft, a fur cushion is collapsed, an ancient wooden bookcase in front of the left, an oil lamp on the table, and a hanger and a cane and some washbasins in the corner.

"High priest, if there is any need, just say that I am not as good as Fengdu in this army, but I also have general items."

"Okay...", Yu Li looked at Zhai Hong and cast a grateful look.

Zhai Hong was happy when he saw that he was not outside.

"Mr. Zhai, what do you think of the matter in East Dragon City"? Yan Li looked at Zhai Hong and asked.

"Didn't the high priest and General Nangong come here for this matter, they must have made a decision, and the last general will not dare to speak falsely."

"It's just you and me here, Zhai Zongbing just has to tell me what you think."

Zhai Hong hesitated for a while, and saw that Zhan Li's eyes were honest, completely out of friendliness, so he thought for a while and said: "For the country, for peace, for oneself, for war."

As he listened, the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually closed, and he looked at Zhai Hong and said, "Zhai Zongbing, do you think there is a possibility of peace talks?"

"To be honest, I have been sending people to pay close attention to the situation in Donglong City, and I am afraid that the peace talks will be very difficult."

"Wow, if it's a war, is General Zhai willing to send troops"?

"Of course", as soon as Zhai Hong's words came out, he felt that he was taking advantage of his own words, so he added: "High priest, since I am in charge of the soldiers and horses of the East Battalion, I will never make my own decisions if I don't see the soldiers."

"What if it's urgent"? Zhan Li asked.

"I will make a decision in the face of danger, and I will bear all the responsibility."

"Okay, Mr. Zhai is really a bloody hero, I admire him", he said, and he bowed to Zhai Hong.

Seeing this, Zhai Hong hurriedly helped Yan Li and said, "The high priest is serious."

Yan Li straightened his waist, looked at Zhai Hong and smiled, took out a talisman from his arms and handed it to Zhai Hong.

Zhai Hong saw the talisman, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Zhan Li in disbelief, although he heard about the relationship between Zhan Li and His Royal Highness King Kang, but he never expected that Zhan Li was the person entrusted by His Royal Highness King Kang, thinking about His Royal Highness King Kang's own grace and the righteousness of his comrades, the person whom His Royal Highness King Kang trusted so much must also be trustworthy by himself.

"Can Mr. Zhai recognize"?

"Of course", Zhai Hong continued: "This talisman is exclusive to His Royal Highness King Kang, when the four major battalions of the southeast, northwest and northwest were established, it was ordered with this, how could I not recognize it."

"That's good", Zhan Li retracted the soldier talisman into his arms and said: "Chief Soldier Zhai, this time I will go to Donglong City for peace talks, if the peace talks fail, I hope that General Zhai can cooperate with General Nangong to recover Donglong City and rescue innocent people."

"High Priest", Zhai Hong paused, turned his face sideways and pondered for a moment, then looked back at Yan Li and said: "High Priest, Zhai Hong listens to orders."

"Thank you Zhai Zongbing, I am grateful."

"High Priest, you're welcome."

The two chatted a little more, talking about King Kang Yan Moyu, talking about the situation in Donglong City, talking about how An Lu attacked the city, and talking about the current situation in Xiaoyao Kingdom, all the information that Zhai Hong knew told Yu Li, and they talked until late at night.

As soon as dawn broke, Zhan Li heard the sound of military training, rubbed his worried eyes, walked out, and saw more than a dozen soldiers shuttling and carrying bags of things, and saw a familiar back, so he walked over.

"Zhang Shenling", Zhan Li stopped three steps away from him.

Zheng Ke heard someone calling him, turned around, and when he saw that it was Yu Li, he clasped his fists and nodded: "High priest, morning."

"What are you"?

"This is the grain and grass that has just been delivered."

"Where do you get your food and grass"?

"It's not a secret, originally Donglong City was enough, but now, I have to go to the nearest villages and towns, and then the adjacent Yingzhou City and Qizhou City."

"Sufficient"?

"How is it enough, the main thing is that the military salary is insufficient", Zhang Duo said and deliberately glanced at the separation.

He was silent, and he knew in his heart that over the years, the treasury had not been full, and the military salary had always been insufficient.

"High Priest", Zheng Ke suddenly came, clasped his fists and saluted: "General Zhai invites you to go to the Zhongjun tent."

When he heard this, he followed Zheng Ke away.

In the Chinese military tent, Nangong Yuan and Zhai Hong were already waiting, and a huge map was hanging on the display shelf, and at a glance, it was a topographic map of Donglong City.

"High Priest", Zhai Hong said directly after greeting: "Yesterday, the peace envoy of the Emperor Xiaoyao arrived in Donglong City."

"Seriously"?

"Exactly".

"That's good, it shows that the Emperor Xiaoyao is considering peace talks," Zhan Li thinks more optimistically.

"That's not necessarily", Nangong Yuan turned his back to the terrain around Donglong City, turned around and said, "The messenger sent by Qihou to deliver the peace talks was detained by him."

"This...", he was stunned for a moment, and his eyebrows were deep in thought.

"Is it possible that the envoys of the peace talks in the country of Xiaoyao are just a trick, and they actually have the next step," Zhai Hong analyzed.

"Well, it's not impossible, we have to be ready for battle", Nangong Yuan turned around and continued to look at the topographic map.

"Who is the envoy to the peace talks from the free country"? He asked.

"This... I don't know, they have been acting in secret, they came in plain clothes, and they only entered the city last night after the third watch," Zhai Hong replied.

When he heard this, he smiled and said, "Very good."

"Huh"? Nangong Yuan looked back at Zhan Li, and Zhai Hong ignored him.

Yan Li glanced at the two of them and said, "You think, there is only one possibility to keep it secret, and the identity of the person who came is not low."

"Yes, in this situation, they do this, just as we do", Zhai Hong suddenly realized that the arrival of Nangong Yuan and Zhan Li was also very secretive, and there were not many people accompanying him, and it was estimated that the other party also knew a little about our situation.

"So, I think it's time for me to take a trip to Donglong City", a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he was very curious about the identity of the envoy of the Easy Country.

"High Priest, no, the situation in Donglong City is unknown now", Zhai Hong said a little nervously.

"It's okay, besides, that East Dragon City was originally the place of my Fire Phoenix Country, and there are people in it from my Fire Phoenix Country."

Zhai Hong didn't say anything anymore, and Nangong Yuan also agreed with Zhan Li's decision: "If you don't go, it will seem like we're scared, but your safety must also be guaranteed, and I will send some people with you."

"High Priest, General Nangong, why don't you take a trip with Vice General Zheng", Zhai Hong said and looked at Zheng Kedao: "Vice General Zheng is very familiar with Donglong City."

When Zheng Ke heard this, he looked at Zhai Hong with a look of emotion in his eyes.

Yan Li looked at it in his eyes, and thought that there must be some reason for this, so he said: "General Nangong, let Vice General Zheng accompany me on a trip."

"This..., okay", Nangong looked at Zheng Ke from a distance and said, "You have to ensure the safety of the high priest."

"Yes, the last general commands".

"Then let's go and prepare", Yu Li looked at Zheng Ke, and the two walked out.

After a cup of tea, at the gate of the camp, everything was ready, and Zheng Keyue got on the horse.

Yan Li walked far away from Nangong and said in a low voice: "General Nangong, I have already agreed with General Zhai that if there is any change, I will be at your disposal when I see the talisman in your hand."

"So very good", Nangong Yuan nodded, his joy was not obvious, and he raised his eyes and said coldly: "Three days, after three days, there is no result, I will come to the city."

He pursed his lips and smiled, turned around and got on his horse, holding the reins in his hand and said, "General Nangong, no matter the result within three days, I will send someone to deliver a message to you."

"High priest, be careful in everything," Zhai Hong said with concern.

"Well, wait for my news", Zhan Li gave Zheng Ke a look, and the two rode away.

"Vice General Zheng, after entering the city in a while, you will be busy with you first when you have the opportunity."

"High priest", Zheng Ke was startled, bowed his head and was silent, as if he had a bitterness, and it was inconvenient to explain.

Yan Li glanced at Zheng Ke and said, "Vice General Zheng, is your family in the city?"

Zheng Ke was even more surprised when he heard it, so he had to admit: "Exactly."

"If you are always on the side, it is not good, if you are in the dark, maybe you can find out something else, don't worry, I can protect myself."

"Yes...", Zheng Ke no longer refused.
