The Yan army faced an unprecedented predicament, starvation, despair, low morale, and no fighting spirit.

The soldiers were hungry, how could Ming Chenyuan, the commander, eat food, he distributed the gruel to the guards around him for two days in a row, because he couldn't drink it at all. He couldn't figure out why a whole 50,000 people were suddenly trapped here, and where he had deployed it wrong.

He knew that the soldiers were suppressing their irritability and dissatisfaction, and for the first time he doubted his motives for continuing to fight, and for the first time he felt guilty about being the commander-in-chief. He didn't expect Nie Xingyi to come to save him, nor did he expect Wei Nong and the eldest princess, these two women were powerless and could not control the situation at all.

Maybe when people really face the inextricable predicament, they will have all kinds of radical ideas, and Ming Chenyuan has also begun to plan to exchange his own head for a way out for the 50,000 Yan army. He secretly made up his mind in his heart that if the situation did not change the day after tomorrow, he would let his subordinates cut off his head and go to the Ning army in exchange for food.

At least, he couldn't watch the soldiers starve to death.

However, just when Ming Chenyuan wanted to take advantage of the strength he still had to write his last words, Ning Jun took the initiative to send food and brought news: Ning Yan was preparing for peace talks, King Ning sent Hou Yunchen and Zijin Guanglu Doctor Shen Jue as envoys for peace talks, and Yan sent Hou Mingchenyuan of Zhenguo, Du Zhong, the general of the auxiliary state, and Hou Duhao to come forward. In order to show fairness, the place of peace talks was set on the Cangshan Mountain in the territory of Jiang State.

Time called: Cangshan Peace Talks.

In fact, Yan Guo's decision to select these candidates for peace talks is quite meaningful: Ming Chenyuan represents the opinions of the military, Du Zhong, the general of the auxiliary state, represents the forces of the DPRK and China loyal to Nie Xingji, and Hou Duhao represents the interests of Nie Xingyi, the king of Yan. The three of them had their own thoughts, each carrying a number of advisers, and rushed to Cangshan. Due to his identity, it was inconvenient for Wei Nong to appear in the list of peace talks, but he also went with him.

Compared with the Yan State, the envoys sent by the Ning State were very subtle. Anyone who knows the inside story knows what the true identities of Shen Jue and Yunchen are, Yan Ning made peace, but Ning Guo found two Chu people to come forward, which is also a little interesting.

When Ming Chen stepped out of Youzhou Mansion City, he didn't expect that the person who came to greet him would be Yunchen, as well as Hou Duhao. Before Ming Chenyuan could speak, Yunchen had already stretched out his hand to Definition Hou and said with a polite smile: "The two of you haven't seen each other for a long time, you must have something to say, I will wait on the side." With that, he ordered the coachman to lead his chariot to a distance, while he sat in the chariot and waited.

Definition Hou Duhao was quietly sent by Nie Xingyi to trade with King Ning last year, but he never wanted to be trapped in King Ning's palace for half a year, until this time the Yan army was defeated, Ming Chenyuan was trapped in Youzhou Mansion, and King Ning knew that the general trend had been decided, so he released him.

He originally wanted to go back to China to meet Nie Xingyi first and discuss the situation in Yanning, but unexpectedly, just halfway through, the news of the peace talks came, and King Ning deliberately asked Yunchen to intercept him halfway, inform Nie Xingyi of his meaning, and suggested that he go to Youzhou Mansion to pick up Ming Chenyuan and go on the road together.

After defining Hou to see Ming Chenyuan, the first sentence was: "These days I have wronged the Marquis of Zhenguo, the king sent you and me to Cangshan to participate in peace talks, the old man wants to discuss with Hou Ye first, and he is well prepared in his heart." ”

"Peace talks? Who promised the peace talks? As soon as Ming Chenyuan saw Definition Hou, he took it for granted that this was Nie Xingyi's obstinence, and he was instantly very angry and wanted to question.

Definition Hou sighed: "It is said that the decision was made after weighing several parties. ”

Ming Chenyuan narrowed his eyebrows, and he didn't care about his face, and sarcastically defined Hou with a cold face: "How many parties weigh it?" I'm afraid it's a trade-off between your father and son! Nie Xingyi wants to be a traitor? ”

Definition Hou looked solemn: "Zhenguo Hou should pay attention when he speaks, your life is saved by 'traitors', without us 'traitors', you would have starved to death in Youzhou Mansion a long time ago!" ”

"I'd rather starve to death than surrender!" Ming Chenyuan was furious: "What kind of peace talks, I won't go!" ”

Definition Hou's face sank, and he turned to say again: "The county lord of Yanlan also agreed to the peace talks, and she has already set off for Cangshan. He didn't want to force anything: "The old man is blessed, and if he doesn't have the blessing to walk with the Marquis of Zhenguo, let's go their own way." ”

After speaking, Hou walked straight to Yunchen's chariot and said goodbye: "Lord Yun forgives the sin, the old man will go first." ”

Yunchen didn't ask anything, got out of the car and saluted him back: "Master Hou go slowly, let's see you in Cangshan." ”

In fact, although Yunchen was far away, he heard the quarrel between Mingchen Yuan and Definition Hou. Seeing that the chariot of the Marquis of Definition was gradually moving away, he walked to Ming Chenyuan's side and said lightly: "The king has prepared a carriage for the Marquis of Zhenguo, and you can set off for Cangshan immediately, and the accommodation and food along the way have been arranged." ”

"I'm not going." Ming Chenyuan didn't appreciate it at all, he looked at Yunchen, and the killing intent in his eyes instantly rose: "The matter of peace talks, but you instigated it?" ”

"Zhenguohou's wording is inappropriate," Yunchen looked as usual, "reunification is what the people want, and I am 'making peace', not 'instigating'." ”

Ming Chenyuan sneered, raised the sword in his hand and pointed directly at Yunchen's neck: "Don't think I don't know what your idea is, Your Highness's death, I haven't settled accounts with you yet!" ”

Yun Chen turned his head expressionlessly to glance at the city gate, and inside the gate, which was surrounded by the Ning Legion, he could faintly hear the cheers of satisfaction because of the food. Yunchen said without fear: "Your 50,000 soldiers have just eaten a full meal, if you don't care about their life and death, you can kill me on the spot to vent your anger." ”

With this sentence, Yunchen was equivalent to admitting that the strategy of besieging the Yan army was his own, and he seemed to be deliberately trying to provoke Ming Chenyuan, so he didn't hide anything at all.

It is conceivable what Ming Chenyuan's mood was after hearing it, when he was trapped in Youzhou Mansion, he pondered for a long time, and he didn't know where Ning Jun came out of or how he surrounded the entire city. As a general, how can he be willing to lose inexplicably? If he doesn't ask the root cause, he won't be able to turn a blind eye to death!

He took out the transcription of the half of the anti-layout of mountains and rivers from his arms, threw it to Yunchen and asked, "Did you do anything on it?" Is this your trap? ”

Yunchen didn't even open it to look at it, he knew what the silk cloth in his arms was, and smiled back: "This is what my sister Wang deliberately left to you before she died." ”

It's Queen Jiang again! Ming Chenyuan gritted his teeth and said, "What did she do?" We've surveyed the route above, and there's no problem at all! ”

"The problem is that Sister Wang erased the most critical routes." Yunchen made no secret of it: "There is an ancient road outside Youzhou Mansion that can be ambushed, and you don't have it on this map." ”

It's another trap set by Yunchen! Ming Chenyuan was so angry that he couldn't help but smack him hard: "You are really shameless!" You can think of this way! ”

Yunchen dodged to avoid Ming Chenyuan's spit, but deliberately dusted off his clothes and cuffs, and laughed back again: "I'm just giving back to him in the way of the other, compared to the 100,000 people you slaughtered in Chu ten years ago, I just charged interest to Yan Jun." ”

"Don't pretend to be innocent in what happened back then, it was the Chu people who refused to surrender and poisoned our water source, and the first king ordered the slaughter of the city in a fit of anger! This is an explanation for our poisoned soldiers and an explanation for the whole army! If it were you, wouldn't you slaughter the city? Who knows what other tricks the Chu people have! ”

Mingchen was so angry that he held his sword and scolded Yunchen angrily: "On the battlefield, the winner is the king, and the loser is the coward, you secretly poisoned His Highness, and assassinated him with tricks, and starved our soldiers to death!" There must be its masters, there must be its people, no wonder the Chu people love to use this kind of unsightly trick! It's shameless! ”

Mingchen Yuan didn't care who was behind the scenes, in short, he counted Nie Xingji's death on Yunchen's head. He was full of murderous intent, like a bloodthirsty beast, but there was still a trace of reason restraining him, telling him that there were still 50,000 soldiers in the city whose lives were in Yunchen's hands!

And no matter what Ming Chenyuan said, Yunchen didn't refute it, and after listening to him vent, he said coldly: "Instead of scolding the street here to vent your anger, you should think carefully about the conditions of the peace talks, but don't suffer in my hands." ”

After speaking, Yun Chen gently flicked away the blade of the sword across his neck with two fingers, and said in the tone of Fang Cai Defining Hou: "In Xia Fubo, it seems that there is no luck to go to Cangshan with the Marquis of Zhenguo." If you don't have anything to say, go ahead and go. ”

"Cangshan, I won't go! I will never agree to peace talks! Your plot will not succeed! Ming Chenyuan was indignant: "I will kill you sooner or later to avenge Your Highness!" ”

"Kill me?" Yun Chen's lips hooked slightly, and he did not hide his ridicule: "How many people are available under you?" ”

After saying this, Yun Chen didn't turn back and got on the chariot, leaving him alone.

Ming Chenyuan only felt chills all over his body, hatred and depression filled his heart, but it made him even more powerless. He didn't dare to think about what kind of life the soldiers had been living these days! The bark eats the turf, and the turf eats the roots......

Just yesterday, because of the snatching of a mouse, dozens of soldiers fought with no regard for dignity! Two people were trampled to death, the rest were all injured, the person who grabbed the mouse was still a captain, he was worried that the mouse would be snatched by others again, and he actually swallowed the mouse alive in public!

Early this morning, the Ning army sent grain into the city, and immediately set off a new round of crazy looting! If he hadn't tried his best to suppress it, yesterday's tragedy would have been repeated! And when all the soldiers had eaten a full meal, the cheers of satisfaction were indescribable!

The current Yan army, where does it still have the spirit of war! In their eyes, nothing is more important than having a full meal! Yunchen's move is too vicious! It consumed the willpower of the Yan army, hit their morale, and ruined their self-esteem......

These 50,000 soldiers have been abolished! Yunchen was right, he didn't have many people to use!
