Chapter 308: Single-mindedness
readx;? Early in the morning, Chu Lingtian took Fan Jiang and Ma Rufeng to the Chinese army's tent with high spirits, and Chu Lingtian was still holding a secret letter in his hand at this moment. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis secret letter was just received by Chu Lingtian at dawn today, and the person who sent the secret letter was Lan Shixun, who was thousands of miles away.
"General, I have sent someone to inquire again and again, Han Xiao has handed over the position of the commander of the camp to me Xi Chen before leaving, and the remaining men and horses of Han Xiao's camp have all been brought to the front of the battle by Xi Chen, and they have been fighting with the Black Armor Army of the Beast Clan for a month, and in this month, the army has never returned to the camp, except for the occasional soldiers who escort grain and grass in and out, Han Xiao's camp is already an empty camp at the moment!" Fan Jiang said excitedly while hurriedly following Chu Lingtian's footsteps, " In the next guess, now there are only more than 100 old and weak soldiers left in Han Xiao's camp, and our 100,000 army is galloping past, I am afraid that we will be able to swallow Han Xiao's camp in an instant!"
"Okay!" Ma Rufeng nodded excitedly, "This time has suffocated the one-eyed, and my two plate axes are about to rust." General, this time I will only bring fifty cavalry brothers to kill him, and I will ensure that Han Xiao's camp can be completely flattened with one meal!"
"En!" Chu Lingtian couldn't help but slow down a little when he heard Fan Jiang and Ma Rufeng's words, then his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked Fan Jiang with a thoughtful expression, "Xi Chen is cautious by nature, how could he deliberately leave us an empty camp? What's more, the grain and grass reserves of Han Xiao's army are all in the camp now, it is impossible for Xi Chen not to know the importance of the camp! Once the camp falls, the army in front of the battle will become a rootless tree and sourceless water, and in the end, it will inevitably be slaughtered and slaughtered by the beast army!"
"This can only show that he can sit in the women's pile of the Border Guard Mansion and enjoy the blessings!" Ma Rufeng snorted coldly with a disdainful face, "He doesn't know how to lead troops at all!"
"That's not right!" Chu Lingtian stopped his figure in front of the big tent of the Chinese army, and did not enter the big tent in a hurry, but reached out and gently rubbed his nose, and then slowly shook his head and said, "If Xi Chen is really so incompetent, then it is impossible for the emperor to make him the governor of the Northern Frontier Guard Mansion, you must know that the feudal officials are not just a person who can do it! And Han Xiao is by no means a fool, if Han Xiao does not know how to soldier, I am afraid that no one in the world knows how to soldier." Since Han Xiao can hand over tens of thousands of troops to Xi Chen's hands, it means that they must have a backhand!" Thinking of this, Chu Lingtian's eyes changed suddenly, and he hurriedly asked Fan Jiang, "Tell me who is the commander of the troops who is staying in Han Xiao's camp now?"
"It is said that it was a thousand households in Han Xiao's camp who were responsible for guarding grain and grass before! But yesterday at noon, Lu Yifan rushed back to the camp from the front line with more than 20 cronies, if my expectations are good......"
"What?" Before Fan Jiang finished speaking, Chu Lingtian's face changed suddenly, and his eyes instantly became solemn, only to see him ask word by word, "You said that Lu Yifan brought people back yesterday?"
"Yes, it is true that Lu Yifan is back, but it is said that Lu Yifan himself is still injured!" Fan Jiang nodded and said, "But there is nothing to worry about, after all, he only brought back more than 20 people, which is tantamount to a ......drop in the bucket for our 100,000 army."
"Why didn't you tell me about this yesterday?" Chu Lingtian shouted in a deep voice, "Twenty or so people are indeed nothing, but where in the world can there be such a coincidence? Yesterday, our 100,000 army had just entered the Zhuo Wolf Grassland, and he Lu Yifan came back, which clearly showed that he came prepared!"
"He only has more than two dozen people...... Ma Rufeng was also at a loss at the moment, looking at Fan Jiang, who was silent, Ma Rufeng, who was reckless by nature, couldn't help but ask, "Even if they are really prepared, is it possible that he Lu Yifan still wants to defeat him?"
"It's not easy to say!" Chu Lingtian's face became more and more gloomy, only to see him shake his head again and again, "Lu Yifan is not simple, Xi Chen dares to let him come back to guard the camp single-handedly, it is enough to show that Lu Yifan must already have something in his heart that we don't know yet! And you must not forget, Xi Chen is not the only person who reuses Lu Yifan, even Han Xiao promoted him to the forward general before leaving, even if Xi Chen sees the wrong person, is it possible that Han Xiao will also see the wrong person?"
"To the general means ......"
"We can't wait any longer! Late will change!" Without waiting for Fan Jiang to ask, Chu Lingtian said quickly, "Yesterday, I was allowed to rest all night for the sake of the army's long journey and snowy march, and today I have to let Lan Chen Gongzi officially order that Han Xiao's camp must be completely wiped out before sunset, so as not to have too many dreams at night!"
"Yes!" Seeing Chu Lingtian's solemn expression, Fan Jiang and Ma Rufeng couldn't help but glance at each other, and then the two agreed respectfully at the same time.
Chu Lingtian didn't say anything more, opened the tent curtain and took Fan Jiang and Ma Rufeng into the big tent of the Chinese army, and at this moment in the big tent of the Chinese army, Lan Chen, Hai Lao, and Sanchun had been waiting here for a long time.
"Childe, this matter must not be done, we have won the battle, and there must be no more accidents!"
As soon as Chu Lingtian stepped into the big tent of the Chinese army, he heard Hai Lao's bitter voice, and then looked at Hai Lao's anxious appearance, and the whole person was so anxious that he was about to jump up.
Hearing this, although it was not clear what was going on, a hint of foreboding had quietly risen to Chu Lingtian's heart.
"Childe, Hai Lao, what's wrong?" Chu Lingtian looked at Lan Chen, who was sitting on the front seat with a serious face, with a puzzled expression, and then turned his gaze to Hai Lao who was standing in the tent, "Hai Lao, what did you just say that you must not do?"
"General Chu, you came just in time!" As soon as Hai Lao saw Chu Lingtian, as if he had seen a savior, he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Chu Lingtian's arm, pulled him straight to Lan Chen, and then stretched out his hand and pointed at the handsome case in front of Lan Chen, at this moment, I saw a war book on top of the handsome case, "No! Look at it, this is the war letter that Lu Yifan gave to Gongzi late yesterday night!"
"Sure enough, something happened!" As soon as Chu Lingtian saw the war book, a roar immediately flashed in his mind, and his heart became more firm in his guess just now, Lu Yifan really came prepared, "Lu Yifan's war letter to Gongzi, what did he write in the war book?"
Hai Lao stretched out his hand to pick up the battle book on the handsome case, and handed it directly to Chu Lingtian, at this moment his old face was already pale with anger, only to see him say indignantly: "General Chu, do you say that Lu Yifan is a fool's dream? He actually wants to meet with Lan Chen Gongzi and have a one-on-one competition with Lan Chen Gongzi, so he also wants to make a bet with Gongzi!"
"Bet, what bet?" Fan Jiang also had a gloomy look on his face when he heard this, and it was only at this moment that he realized that it was not a coincidence that Lu Yifan suddenly rushed back.
"Lu Yifan actually wants to gamble with his life with Lan Chen's 100,000 army!" Hai Lao shouted angrily, "If Lu Yifan wins, then he wants Lan Chen Gongzi to order the retreat back to the Northern Xinjiang camp, and our 100,000 army must no longer attack their men!"
"Hmph!" Ma Rufeng snorted coldly when he heard this, "Lu Yifan, this little cub, is really a good fighter, how can his little life be worth my 100,000 army?
"I also think this must not be done!" Hai Lao quickly nodded in agreement.
"But what?" Before Hai Lao's voice completely fell, Chu Lingtian changed his words, stared straight at Hai Lao with a pair of cold eyes, and asked word by word, "But how?"
"But Gongzi Lanchen actually wants to take Lu Yifan's battle letter!" Hai Lao couldn't help but sigh, shook his head again and again, "Childe is confused, Lu Yifan is not qualified to negotiate terms with Gongzi now, and Gongzi doesn't need to condescend to agree to Lu Yifan's childish request!"
"What Hai Lao said is good!" Fan Jiang nodded and said, "We now have an army of 100,000, and Lu Yifan's camp at the moment may only be more than a hundred people, and their opposition to us is tantamount to a mayfly shaking a tree." And the reason why Lu Yifan did this, in fact, he himself has realized that he is definitely not our opponent, and now they have reached the end of the road, when our 100,000 soldiers are approaching the city, they are nothing more than a group of lambs waiting to die, there is really nothing to be done, so they made this decision, and please ask Gongzi Mingjian!"
"Hmph! What does Lu Yifan think, how can this son not know?" Under the repeated persuasion of Hai Lao and others, Lan Chen finally spoke, but his tone was blunt and a little scary, "But now you want me to beat them with 100,000 people, this kind of bullying and bullying of the weak cannot be done by this son!"
"Then the son, please allow One-Eyed and I will also take a hundred people to exterminate them!" Ma Rufeng surrendered his hand and asked, "This is finally fair, right?"
"The current situation, Lu Yifan, they are destined to die, and the reason why this son wants to take over the battle book before his death is not because he is afraid that he will not die, on the contrary, I am afraid that he will die so easily!" Lan Chen said coldly, his mind was not shaken by anyone's words in the slightest.
"What do you mean by this, Childe?" Chu Lingtian asked puzzledly, "Do you want Lu Yifan to die?"
"Yes!" Lan Chen sneered, "But I just want him to die in my hands! I might as well tell you the truth, I want to agree to Lu Yifan's appointment because I want to really win him once before he dies!"
"Win him once?" It ......was not until this moment that everyone understood Lan Chen's true thoughts, Hai Lao, Chu Lingtian, Fan Jiang, and Ma Rufeng all looked at each other with embarrassment.
In the eyes of Hai Lao and others, personal grievances are not worth anything in the face of military affairs, so when Lan Chen said what he thought in his heart, Hai Lao and the others couldn't understand it at all, in their consciousness, Lan Chen's move was naïve, ignorant, and stupid!
"Don't be like this, in fact, the reason why Childe wants to win Lu Yifan in a dignified manner is also because of his suffering!" Miharu explained with a look of embarrassment, Lu Yifan and Gongzi have been rivals since childhood, everyone in the world knows that our son is a genius, whether it is personality or cultivation talent, and even life is far beyond his peers, but only a Lu Yifan appeared, and my son was-for-tat everywhere, and they lived in Jinling City at the same time, so many years of big and small battles have not stopped, although both sides have their own victories and defeats, but in fact, the really well-known battle is the Heavenly Grace Contest that shook the Holy Domain! The Heavenly Grace Contest is to select the strongest person in the Holy Domain under the age of sixteen, and it is also the person with the most cultivation talent, this battle is already in our hands, but in the final finals, it was a narrow defeat to Lu Yifan, although the discerning people know that the gap between Gongzi and Lu Yifan at that time can actually be described as insignificant, and it can even be said that there is an element of luck in Lu Yifan's victory, but the world does not know! In the end, people in the world only know that Lu Yifan is the first, and my son-in-law will always be ranked after Lu Yifan, which is also a heart disease that my son-in-law has been thinking about for so many years......!
"So I can't let Lu Yifan die so easily!" Lan Chen continued Sanchun's words, "This time may be my last chance to compete with him, I will definitely not let it go!Otherwise, even if Lu Yifan dies, I will always be subservient to him! If the result is really like this, I will not be at ease in this life!"
"I ...... Understood......" Hai Lao said with a pale face, obviously he was ready to give up and continue to dissuade.
"Childe!" Chu Lingtian suddenly raised the secret letter in his hand, and then said aloud with an eager face, "This secret letter was written by Lord Lan Shixun himself, he said that he has now won the full trust of the emperor, and sent him an additional 50,000 troops, ordering him to personally lead the army to the north a month ago to preside over the overall situation and quell the rebellion in the north of Xinjiang! This is an opportunity for Lord Lan to achieve a great cause, we have no way out, if this matter is successful, it will be famous for eternity, if it is not successful, it can only be killed, there is no other choice!" Therefore, the arrow is on the bow, I have to send Ah Childe......" Chu Lingtian said and knelt down in front of Lan Chen with a 'poof', "Please also ask Childe to focus on the overall situation, and don't delay Lord Lan's major event for a little personal grudge......"
"Could it be that Dad's big event will be blocked by a little Lu Yifan?" Lan Chen said with disdain, "If a Lu Yifan can decide the success or failure of Dad, then I think we can directly kill and become a benevolent person now, what big deal is there to talk about?"
"But ......"
"General Chu doesn't need to say it anymore!" Without waiting for Chu Lingtian to persuade again, Lan Chen waved his hand violently, and then said in a cold tone, "I have made up my mind about this matter, Lu Yifan can't make it to the climate, it's just a matter of dying early and dying later!"
"Childe ......" Chu Lingtian was unwilling, and wanted to persuade again.
"General Chu doesn't need to be persuaded!" Hai Lao suddenly stepped forward and helped Chu Lingtian up, "Since Gongzi has made up his mind, it is useless for me to talk too much!" Saying that, Hai Lao turned his head to Lan Chen, and then arched his hand and said, "I only ask Gongzi one thing, if Gongzi wins, then this matter naturally has nothing to do with the overall situation, and Han Xiao's camp will definitely die." But what if Childe loses? Do we really have to retreat......
"This time this son will never lose!" Hai Lao's words seemed to touch Lan Chen's heart, Lan Chen's face changed, only to see his eyes staring straight at Hai Lao, his tone instantly became ruthless, and he said word by word, "Never!"
"Childe, since you have made up your mind, then Chu has only one thing to ask for, and I hope Childe can agree!"
"Say!"
"Lu Yifan's war letter has been issued, then Chu thinks that this matter should not be sooner rather than later, and the prince must not give Lu Yifan the opportunity to deliberately delay time! So this matter must be fast!" Chu Ling Tian said righteously.
"That makes sense!" Lan Chen nodded with a frown, then raised his eyebrows, and said slowly, "What does General Yichu mean......"
"It's noon today!" Chu Lingtian arched his hand and said, "We are only twenty miles away from Lu Yifan's camp, and it only takes a cup of tea to go quickly, so I immediately sent someone to inform Lu Yifan, ordering him to come to our camp alone at noon today, and inform him that Prince Lan Chen has set up a first-class banquet in the big tent of the Chinese army, just waiting for Lu Yifan to go to the banquet alone!"
"This ......"
"Childe doesn't have to hesitate!" Without waiting for Lan Chen to ponder, Chu Lingtian hurriedly continued, "In this way, Childe's wish can be satisfied." Second, it can show that the son is kind-hearted, and he is willing to let go of the 100,000 army and give him a chance to survive. Third, you can use this to test Lu Yifan's courage to see if he has the courage to go to the banquet alone. If he didn't have the courage to come, then he couldn't complain about others, so Gongzi could give an order without any scruples, and the army instantly leveled Han Xiao's camp. If he has the courage to come, that son will win him once, as long as Lu Yifan dies, Chu can still send troops to level Han Xiao's camp in the afternoon! All in all, before sunset today, Han Xiao's camp must disappear from the Zhuo Wolf Grassland!"
Hearing Chu Lingtian's words, Hai Lao, Fan Jiang, Ma Rufeng and others all nodded in agreement, but only one Lan Chen seemed to have concerns: "But what if Gongzi loses the bet......"
"Childe!" Without waiting for Lan Chen to hesitate, Chu Lingtian took a step forward with both hands in fists, a pair of confident eyes staring straight at Lan Chen, and after the two looked at each other for a long time, Chu Lingtian said word by word, "Don't forget, Childe will definitely not lose to Lu Yifan this time!
As soon as Chu Lingtian said this, Lan Chen's eyes suddenly gathered, and then a strong battle intent also surged out instantly.
"This matter is decided!"
In fact, Chu Lingtian's words were only half said, he said that Lan Chen would never lose, not all because he had confidence in Lan Chen. It's that he already has another trick in his heart, as long as Lu Yifan has the courage to come to the camp alone for the banquet, then Chu Lingtian will have the confidence to let him come and not return!
