The army of Qi was encamped ten miles away from Kaiyang City, Han Bing sat alone in the big tent of the military camp, no matter what kind of bloody rain he faced in the past three years, his heart had never been disturbed, but today, he was confused by a few words from the enemy guards of Qi.

Everything the enemy general said was what Han Bing thought in his heart, yes, in the past three years, he has committed such a heavy killing, is it just to make the monarch of Qi become the lord of the world?

I thought I didn't care about all this, but why was my heart still messed up when someone pointed it out to my face?

For a day and a night, the army did not make any moves, and in the early morning, Mingchen led a group of captured soldiers back to the army, and Han Bing immediately asked Mingchen to see him after knowing it.

"General, Mingchen was defeated and captured, and hundreds of thousands of good men in my Qi country died in battle, please punish the general. Mingchen knelt on the ground, his face full of remorse.

Han Bing helped Mingchen up, shook his head and said: "It's not your fault, if it's me, I'm not necessarily an enemy general, our enemy this time is far more powerful than before, before we attacked the city, we always used the attack to break the enemy's heart, but today's cause and effect cycle, my heart is disturbed, and I won't use troops against Zhou State in a short time." ”

"General, this time the enemy general seems to know us very well, the shot is clean and fast, at a glance to see the weak point of our formation, the soldiers are divided into two, the head and tail can not take care of each other, the power of the army is greatly reduced, the general of the Zhou State is even more unparalleled, I fought with him, I was defeated in less than fifty rounds and was captured by him. Mingchen said.

"I see, you go down first. Han Bing nodded and said.

As soon as Mingchen left, Nan Yichen walked in, his face was a little not good-looking, and said: "General, the envoy of the monarch has arrived, waiting in the deputy camp, there is a holy decree for you." ”

"Hurry to the side camp. Han Bing said.

Han Bing led a group of generals to the deputy camp, and the messenger opened the holy decree and read it aloud:

General Han Bing's three-year campaign, almost all the land in the world is returned to the Qi country, the battle of Kaiyang is the last battle to pacify the world, the widow specially prepares a hundred altars of imperial wine for the general, and the cattle and sheep are rewarded by the soldiers of the three armies, and the general is expected to return triumphantly within three days, and the widow sets up an altar in the capital of the Qi country, and waits for the day of the general's return, and the meritorious deeds are rewarded, the general's merits are high and the world is covered, and the widow wants to assign the three kingdoms of Zhou, You, and Jiang to the general, and is named the king of Zhenxi. Chin this!

"Minister Han Bing, thank you Lord Longen!" Han Bing knelt on the ground and took the holy decree with both hands.

"The general has worked hard and made great achievements, and the lord is deeply concerned about the general, and hopes that the general will return to the national capital as soon as possible. The messenger said.

"Thank you for your concern, the minister will conquer Kaiyang as soon as possible and dominate the world. The envoy came from afar to work hard, and asked the envoy to rest here for a few days, and when Kaiyang was captured, he returned with the army. Han Bing said.

A trace of fear flashed in the messenger's eyes, and he said: "Thank you for the general's kindness, the lord is still waiting for the villain to return to regain his sight, it is inconvenient to disturb more, general, there will be a period later." ”

"Mingchen, send the messenger. Han Bing said.

"Congratulations to the general, you are about to become the king of Zhenxi!"

The generals were happy to Dao, Han Bing felt a little more cold in his heart, but he didn't show it, and said: "It's all your credit, how can I, Han Bing, be proud of my achievements, and I will definitely repay the monarch when the time comes, and I won't be able to treat you badly." ”

"Thank you, General, for cultivating. ”

"General, when will the general attack on Kaiyang be launched, the monarch has made it clear in the holy decree that there are only three days left. One of the generals said.

"This matter is not urgent, the Kaiyang guard is not an ordinary person, even General Mingchen was defeated in his hands, and he must think long before he can fight. Han Bing said, "Everyone is doing their duty, if there is any news of the battle, I will notify you immediately." ”

The generals dispersed, Han Bing returned to his tent, and Mingchen sent the messenger away and came to Han Bing with Nan Yichen, the two of them were Han Bing's henchmen.

"The messenger sent away?" asked Han Bing.

"Sent away, this messenger is really anxious, just say to leave, I'm really afraid that the king will be in a hurry. Mingchen said with a smile.

"He's not afraid that the monarch will be in a hurry, he's afraid that he will take a step late and his life will be lost. Han Bing pinched the holy decree in his hand and said melancholy.

"Why, why did the general say this?" Nan Yiji wondered.

"The king doesn't trust me as much as he used to. Han Bing handed the holy decree to the two of them and said: "The reason why I will return triumphantly within three days is because I am afraid that I will live in a foreign country for a long time and give birth to a rebellious heart, and promise me the king of Zhenxi, is to cut off my rebellion with a high-ranking official, the king of Zhenxi will definitely not give it to me, and even my position as a general will not be retained, since he has made this holy decree, it means that he has made up his mind to get rid of me." ”

"What? General, you fought for him in the north and south and pacified the world, how could he be so nostalgic. Nan Yichen said.

"Since ancient times, the ruthless emperor family, talking to them about feelings, you are too naïve, his attitude towards you depends on your value to him, if there is no value, it is a hidden danger, how can he not find a way to get rid of it. Han Bing shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Then what should we do now, or while we still have military power in our hands......" Before Nan Yichen finished speaking, he was glared at by Mingchen, and he also noticed the change in Han Bing's face, and did not continue.

"Report! Zhou sent an envoy to arrive. ”

Han Bing and the two glanced at each other and said, "Let the envoy of the Zhou State come in." ”

The man was a young man in his twenties, dressed in fine clothes and carrying no weapons, and came to the barracks alone.

"General, in the next Zhou Qi, I have heard the general's name for a long time. The envoy of Zhou said.

"Zhou Qi, are you the royal family of the Zhou Kingdom?" Han Bing sat on the big chair and asked.

"General Hui, the twelfth son of the monarch of Zhou Guojun, is the most unsuccessful of the brothers, and he knows that he will die here for a lifetime, so he sent me here. Zhou Qi said, but from his face, there was never any look of fear.

"It's ridiculous, the two armies don't fight and don't kill each other, how can we not understand this truth, how can we say that nine deaths and one life. Nan Yiji said unhappily.

"Haha, my father sent me to persuade the general to surrender to my Zhou country, isn't this the same reason as letting me die, everyone knows that General Han was born in a family of generals of Qi State, three generations of generals, and he is very loyal to Qi State, and now he is highly accomplished, how can he join me in a Zhou State that is about to perish. Zhou Qi said.

"You have a bit of knowledge. Nan Yichen said.

"Zhou Qi, you are very smart, have you guessed my current situation, so you want to persuade me to rebel in this way, so that the Zhou State will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, so as to avoid the catastrophe of annihilation, the discord between the monarchs and ministers of the Qi State will definitely lose great vitality, maybe you Zhou Guo can also take advantage of the fire to rob and strengthen your own strength. Han Bing said.

Zhou Qi nodded, did not hide it at all, and said: "The general is really like a god, I still can't escape the general's eyes with this little bit of caution, since you have seen through it, do you want to kill me to sacrifice the banner to strengthen the momentum of the three armies." ”

"The two armies are fighting and don't come to the envoy, you go, go back and tell the monarch of Zhou and the general who defended the city, Zhou Guo, I am destroyed, scarred, send off. Han Bing waved his hand and said.

"Slow down!" Zhou Qi shouted, his face no longer smiling as before, and he looked at Han Bing with a serious face.

"Zhou Qi, don't toast or eat and drink, our general is already merciful enough to you, how can you be allowed to shout here above the barracks. Mingchen said unhappily, pulled out his sword and put it on Zhou Qi's neck, but his face still did not change.

"General, yesterday before the city wall, the general of my Zhou State asked you a few questions, and today I will ask you a few questions. Zhou Qi said.

"Mingchen, let him go and let him speak. Han Bing said.

"General, you said yesterday that the purpose of fighting a war is to make no more wars in the world, I want to ask, if you withdraw your troops now, Qi State occupies nine-tenths of the world, and Zhou State occupies less than one-tenth, under such a disparity in strength, will there be more wars?" Zhou Qi asked.

"Why not?" said Han Bing.

At that time, the Zhou State will only protect itself and will not take the initiative to fight, and the general will retreat to the mountains and forests, and no one in the Qi State will be able to capture the Zhou State, and of course the war will be stopped. And the safety of the general will also be guaranteed, after all, we have a figure like the general who defends the city, and he is afraid of the general, so he will not make a move, if the general is killed, it will not be long before the Qi State will face the same situation as the current Zhou State, I think the monarch of the Qi State will not be unable to understand this matter. Zhou Qi said.

"Everything must be reversed, and if it is full, it will be lost, and knowing how to retreat bravely from the rapids is the way to protect oneself. The general feels that it is difficult to ride a tiger now, which is exactly the best of both worlds. Zhou Qi said.

"Scarlets, send-offs. Han Bing said very blandly.

"General, listen to me......" Zhou Qi wanted to continue to speak, Han Bing said impatiently: "Trace, blast him out for me, if he dares to come again, he will be shot to death directly." ”

Zhou Qi sighed and left a sentence: "I hope the general will do it himself." Then he turned and walked away.

"General, what Zhou Qi said is reasonable, but it is better to ......," Mingchen said.

"It's just messing with the hearts of our army, Mingchen, you are now the vanguard, how can you say such a thing, pass on the order, the soldiers of the three armies are resting now, tonight the first watch cooks, the third watch launches a general attack, the Zhou State disturbs the hearts of our army, I want to let them die in vain." Han Bing said.

When night fell, the three armies of Qi were brightly lit, and all the wine and meat rewarded by the monarch were given to the soldiers, for them, this was the last battle, and after this war, they could be disarmed and returned to the field, and there would be no more war in the world.

Han Bing was in the tent, looking at the fire beating outside the tent, looking at Kaiyang City in the distance, thinking about the conversation with Zhou Guoshou, there were a few more distracting thoughts in his heart, that person's words had a great impact on Han Bing.

"Everything will end tonight. Han Bing muttered to himself, "Father, I will help you realize your unfinished dream, and I will accompany you when this battle is over." ”
