Chapter 260 The inside should be the outside
After discussing and deciding on the strategy of future action, Qin Xufei and Feng Changqing waved goodbye to their close friends and went their separate ways. Drunken Dew Academy
On the way back, Qin Xufei finally spit out the stuffy breath in his chest. This kind of hypocrisy and grievance, your humility and respect, although he is no longer unable to do it, but he still can't really adapt to it.
It was also at this time that he finally had the opportunity to thank Fang Qingchen softly and sincerely.
Fang Qingchen scoffed at his gratitude: "You don't have to thank you." I'm just annoyed that I'm haunted by your mess every day, so I can get out of it early. ”
Qin Xufei was used to being coldly confronted by him, so he only smiled and didn't say much.
Just to get out early?
Although he gave an order not to let Fang Qingchen leave, more than two months have passed now, and no one in the whole army really dares to treat him as a prisoner. If he is determined to leave, as long as it is not the time when he is poisonous, with his martial arts, he will not be able to walk on a dark and windy night.
Even if that person is really as he said, he wants to leave but can't go, and he is a person who can be coerced and restrained, is he a person who is willing to be forced to have some helplessness and put himself in with the Chu State against his will?
It's just that since Fang Qingchen didn't admit it himself, he didn't point it out, he just smiled and walked forward with Fang Qingchen, and said softly: "No matter what, this peace negotiation is mostly a battle against you and the prestige of the Chu State, otherwise, I don't know how many years this battle will be fought, and I should thank you." ”
"Yan Jun is unwilling to fight you to the end because he is afraid of the soldiers in your hands. It's enough for you to be proud of this, and you don't have to get involved with me anymore. ”
Qin Xufei shook his head with a smile: "At the beginning on the battlefield, you personally shot Feng Changqing off the horse with an arrow. Now it is rumored everywhere that you will summon the army of Chu to fight at any time. And your willingness to come with me to this peace table and be a witness to this peace covenant is to express your position very clearly. The Drunken Dew Academy confirmed those rumors to Yan Guo. If it weren't for this layer, with only this remnant of the army in my hand, the Yan army's strength would not be lost now, and the strength would be superior, how could it be easy to negotiate peace with me. ”
What Qin Xufei didn't know was that in the capital of Yan Kingdom, thousands of miles away, Rong Qian really used the reason that the entire Chu State behind Fang Qingchen was very likely to participate in the war, and finally persuaded Yan Rin to accept it when he saw it. It was agreed to negotiate peace after trying to gain some benefits.
Fang Qingchen snorted in a low voice: "You better go to Xie Liuheng, it's his rumors that spread well." He glanced at Qin Xufei coldly: "Those swallows keep saying that they have admired me for a long time. It's a pity that I don't understand at all, I will never really sacrifice the life of any Chu person for any Qin person. ”
Fang Qingchen said extremely politely, and Qin Xufei naturally wouldn't be angry. It is also his own principle to protect the interests of his country and the people as much as possible.
It's just that, in fact, the two of them have already violated their own principles because of each other.
When Fang Qingchen appeared in the Qin State, he had already taken the risk of dragging the Chu State into the flames of war. And since Fang Qingchen is already in the Qin State. In the midst of this war, Qin Xufei should really arrange an opportunity for him to be seriously injured or even die in the hands of the coalition forces.
In that case, if you send a person who can speak well and argue into Chu, move him with affection, and know the benefits and disadvantages, he may not be able to really join Chu to fight against Yan. If successful, at least this is a huge amount of compensation. You can save a seven. After all, the State of Chu did not have the strength of the State of Yan, so he had to blask in order to sign this unequal peace treaty.
As a king, for the benefit of his country, shouldn't he be unscrupulous? I am afraid that the monarch of Yan Country also took this possibility into account, so he can decide to negotiate peace so easily.
It's just that, naturally, he has never actually thought about this. And a smart and resolute person like Fang Qingchen, if not from beginning to end. Drunken Dew Academy knew that it was impossible for him Qin Xufei to have such thoughts about him, and he could also restrain his own subordinates, and it was impossible to have such a practice, from the beginning.
How could he risk staying with him?
Come to think of it. Qin Xufei's chest warmed up for no reason, and he smiled slightly. Looking sideways at Fang Qingchen, who was lazily riding a horse beside him, his eyes were bright and bright.
This man always counts his stupidity, idiocy, ridiculousness, and stubbornness with a very disdainful tone and attitude.
However, if he wasn't the ridiculous and stubborn, unwise and stupid Qin Xufei, this smart, willful, and domineering Fang Qingchen, would he still seem to be so lazy and careless, but he would always be unhurried, riding side by side, walking on the same road?
There was a breeze coming in the distance, and everyone's hooves became more and more anxious, Qin Xufei smiled in the wind, and asked softly: "Qingchen, the operation of attacking the capital, you are with me, okay?" ”
This was the first time he called that person with the word "light dust", but he said it again
Naturally relaxed, without the slightest restraint and discomfort, as if he had been so light over his countless "light dust", "light dust" and "light dust".
His attitude was too natural, his tone was too peaceful, Fang Qingchen didn't even notice the change in his title at the first time, he was stunned for a moment, Fang Dao: "With Yan Jun's secret help, this kind of thing is nine out of ten, what are you going to drag me to do with your life?" ”
Qin Xufei just smiled: "You don't have to make a move, it's okay to just watch the excitement from the side." ”
Fang Qingchen glanced at him coldly: "You are not a beauty, what do I have to see." ”
He whipped the horse with his hand, and the horse ached, and immediately galloped forward, leaving only a puff of smoke and dust, choking and coughing the unprepared people behind him.
Qin Xufei shook his head with a sigh and a smile, and also whipped his horse and chased away.
After waiting for a dry group of people behind him, he gasped for breath, and he was choked by the dust brought up by Qin Xufei and coughed violently, smiling bitterly at each other, all of them dared to be annoyed but did not dare to speak.
――――――――――――
Qin Xufei raised his troops to attack, and the news of attacking the capital all the way finally made the Three Kingdoms Alliance army, which had been fighting in the capital all day, panic.
Even if you don't count the 150,000 individual Yan troops that are still on the border, the military strength of the Three Kingdoms Alliance is still above the military strength of Qin Xu's enclave in the hinterland of Qin, and the territory they occupy is not only the city where they originally attacked the city and plundered the land, but also the neighboring city checkpoints that were forced to surrender by the way after occupying the capital.
It's just that now is not as good as in the past, the Qin army is like a rainbow and extremely brave, while the Three Kingdoms Alliance has exhausted all the little friendship and tacit understanding that was not much at the beginning in the internal conflict and struggle for more than two months.
The three coalition forces, with different orders and disorganized, each wants to protect itself, each wants to spy on the other, and cannot be each other's horns at all, helping each other.
After Xu Fengzhong and Feng Changqing discussed urgently, both of them decided that they could not stay in the capital and waited for Qin Xufei to attack all the way. Therefore, Wu Yan's two armies each led heavy troops to the front to support their own checkpoint city defense, and each place borrowed the power of the city pass to consume the strength of the Qin army as much as possible, and if it was really impossible to hold it, it was not necessary to hold it hard, so as to retreat to the next city checkpoint as quickly as possible, continue to defend the city, and grind out the soldiers and horses of the Qin army little by little.
Although the guards are useless, they are now the most numerous, and with the coordination of the two families, it is still possible to help defend the city. After the consultation, the generals of the guard army finally had to reluctantly take a large group of men out of the city.
This rich, meaningful capital is still unwilling to give up to anyone. Each of the three families left a large number of people and horses to sit in the town, once the checkpoint in front of them could not be stopped, they could not defend it, and they retreated all the way back to the capital, and with the high walls of the city, they could also fight 100,000 elite soldiers, not to mention that the people of the city, the royal family, and the civil and military officials were also extremely valuable hostages.
Even so, Feng Changqing and Xu Feng were afraid that the guards would not be able to be used, and they each transferred many horses from their headquarters to assist the guards, which can be regarded as well-intentioned.
With such careful planning, if it weren't for Qin Yan's private alliance and a hard attack all the way, Qin Xufei's army would definitely suffer heavy losses, and in the end, it would be difficult to advance or retreat under the capital.
Naturally, the outcome of the actual battle was quite different......
The checkpoints guarded by the guards could have been firmly defended with the help of the elites sent by the two kingdoms of Qin and Yan. But on a dark and windy night, the gates of the city would be opened from the inside by someone else.
The Qin army roared in, and the Wei army's spirit was killed before it could turn around, and even the men and horses sent by the Wu army to help were also heavily wounded, and the Yan army knew the opportunity quickly, and slipped away early, so that a few people would not fall.
The Qin army changed into the clothes of the captured guards, and then rushed all the way, and when they encountered a pass, they could cheat, and if they couldn't deceive, they would suddenly attack, and each attack would not have to cost too much to take it.
When the main force of the Wu army, which was struggling to fight in the front, found that something was wrong in the rear, Xu Chongfeng gritted his teeth, abandoned the city, and rushed to the rear, just hoping to return to the capital as soon as possible, take advantage of the strength of the capital, and protect the elite of the army, and with his understanding of the ability of the Yan army, I believe that on the way back, he should be able to successfully join forces with Feng Changqing, who also rushed back to Beijing, and at that time, it is not impossible to fight with Qin Xufei head-on.
Of course, he couldn't wait for Yan Jun.
When his heart was burning like a fire, and when there was chaos, Xu Chongfeng's main force of Wu Army only crashed headlong into the front of Qin Xufei's elite army.
