When the main generals of the boat division of the Hu'an Mountain tribe, Tu Tianqi and Gongzi Zhu Menglong, arrived, the Chu army's first attack on Yucheng had come to an end.

The Hu'an Mountain Boat Division hurriedly participated in the battle and did not get much credit.

Samurai from other tribes have also begun to arrive.

What is even more exciting is that when the lord of Pakistan heard the news that one of the two major salt springs, Yushui Salt Spring, was about to be lost (Yishui Salt Spring had been lost among the three major salt springs), and he could no longer sit still.

Yuhou Mansion served as the temporary headquarters, and the eighth prince Ba Yuan'an gathered all the generals to discuss the matter on the night of entering Yucheng, and the torches were bright.

Ba Peng, Zheng Rong, Ba Ge, Ba Kai, Ba Xin and others fell on the ground and asked for the death penalty.

Ba Yuan'an's face was solemn, he didn't say a word, the atmosphere was tense, no one dared to speak, Yu Hou looked at the same general Ba Xiu, and knew that he was the only one who could save him at this time.

Ba Xiu didn't speak.

Yuhou general Ba Kai saw that the eighth prince Ba Yuanan was silent, and said: "Eighth prince, if you want to kill, you must kill as soon as possible! Today, I should die, die without complaint!

"I remember that when the plan was discussed, some people raised objections to the direction of the Chu army's main attack! For the long-term plan of the Pakistani country, I hope that the eighth prince will listen to the advice of the people!" Ba Kai did not directly say that he was one of the people who raised objections at that time, meaning that he said this not to avoid death, but hoped that Ba Yuanan would listen to the opinions of the people below.

As soon as Ba Kai's words came out, Ba Yuanan's face became even more pale. Everyone choked a cold sweat for Ba Kai, Yu Hou tried his best to look at him, and Ba Kai turned a blind eye.

Yuhou's eldest son Ba Sheng's martial arts are far inferior to his younger brother Ba Peng, and he is the prince of Hou, so he does not charge into battle, and hurriedly goes out of work at this time, and says on the ground: "Ask the eighth prince to spare a few people's lives!"

The generals also begged for relief.

Ditto General Ba Xiu said at this time: "Those who are good at fighting, seek the situation, and do not blame others." This defeat is due to my failure to understand my son's plan, poor planning, and the treacherous plan of Yangming's thief, the responsibility lies with me, not the generals. Please take a look. And the two armies killed the generals in front of the formation, which was more disadvantageous. ”

Ba Xiu took the responsibility at once, and at the same time hinted that Ba Yuanan was also responsible.

Ba Yuanan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and had no choice but to say: "Wear the guilt and make meritorious service!"

Ba Peng, Zheng Rong, Ba Ge, Ba Kai, and Ba Xin Xie were spared death.

Ba Peng got up and said: "The Chu army came this time, in addition to the two old foxes of Yang Ming and Qu Rong, there are also three strong generals, and in addition to the fighting eagle, two new people have been added, one is Shen Xiao, and the three generals who killed me, Zheng Zhong died at his hands, and Tingziguan was also taken by him; Now, the Chu army has taken one city and two passes, approaching Yucheng, before the flood collapses, please ask the eighth prince and the general to get an idea quickly. Ba Xiu is the same as the general, and he is often called "general." ”

Ba Yuan thought about it without saying a word.

Yu Hou said: "The Chu army is in full swing, and if the king of Chu arrives in person, it will be a lion with horns on his head." At present, it is not yet known whether the king of Chu has reached Yishui, and our side has lost one city and two passes in a short period of time, and the people are panicking. Success or failure in this battle, in the midst of panic, neither dare to make a rash decision, but in a hurry, it is necessary to make a quick decision!"

Ba Xiu said: "Yu Hou's words are exactly that, stepping on the bridge, you are in a dilemma. It is advisable to report to the king again, and urge the rescuers to arrive quickly. ”

Ba Yuanan said: "In such a short period of time, like a strong wind blowing, it is really unexpected that the Chu army is so close to Yushui Salt Spring for the first time. After that, the war was a matter of life and death in Danfushui and Yushui. We can only succeed, not fail! Everyone should go back first, recuperate and recuperate, and choose a day to fight. ”

The Chu army approached his nest, and the most anxious was Yu Hou, who didn't care about Ba Yuan'an's face, and said: "Here and now, to fight or not, in the enemy is not me, how can I choose a day of war?"

Ba Yuan'an was speechless for a while, and when the son of Hu'an Mountain, Meng Long, saw this, he said, "Send Yang Ming a truce." ”

Some people scoffed.

Ba Xiu said: "Don't laugh, I think it's okay." Come and don't be rude, even if Yang Ming is unwilling to truce, at least he has to write a letter back, and once he goes, he can also buy a little time, and the armies of Jiangzhou and other roads may arrive. ”

Ba Yuanan said: "Menglong, tell me what you think first. ”

"Be humble and convince Yang Ming that we will scorch the earth against the enemy and threaten to destroy the Yushui Salt Spring that he wants most. ”

Ba Yuanan said: "Okay, the dead horse is regarded as a live horse doctor." ”

After speaking, Ba Yuanan got up and said: "The generals listen to the order: If the Chu army does not attack, our army will not move! Strictly prevent the Chu army from sneaking attack! Without an order, no one is allowed to attack without authorization! Those who violate the order will be beheaded!"

The generals retreated, and the dream-dragon deliberately delayed.

Ba Xiu said: "Is there anything else wrong with Menglong?"

"Report to the eighth prince and the general, the red-faced tiger Fan Yuntong is here with the last general!"

Ba Yuanan was surprised and delighted, and said, "He's still alive?"

Ba Xiu was pretended to be surprised.

Yu Menglong said: "At the beginning, he escaped from Danfu Water and hid in the Ten Thousand Winds Forest Sea. Come with me this time. ”

Yuan'an was overjoyed and said: "At the moment of the great enemy, when the army is defeated, when the hero is needed, let him make contributions with your subordinates before he can resume his duties." ”

The dream dragon thanked him and left.

When Gu Menglong returned to the camp, Fan Yuntong knew that his brother Fan Jin had died in battle, and he was crying sadly, which was a rare scene.

The pavilion closes.

General Chu Yangming received the truce letter from Ba Yuanan, the commander of the Pakistani army, held it in his hand, and read it softly: "...... The soldiers are like gods, and they are admired by Yuan'an...... Please ask the general to make a truce for five days, and he is willing to open a frame with the general, do not use tricks, fight fairly, decide the winner, and recognize the destiny of heaven. If not, Yuan'an led the people to destroy the salt spring, burn Yucheng, and scorch the earth to fight to the death to comfort the ancestors......"

After reading it, Yang Ming laughed and said: "This is a plan to delay the army." "Gather the generals, proclaim a truce, and discuss the capture of Yucheng.

Chu general Qu Rong has arrived at the pavilion the day before yesterday, he has studied Ba for many years, quite a bit of experience, he thinks he has a big plan to take Ba, the previous defeat to Ba Xiu, he is angry, just had a chance to show, Pakistan is now one of the two major salt springs Yushui salt spring is about to become someone else's military exploits, a moment of jealousy, said: "What Ba Yuanan said is not alarmist. If he really destroyed the salt springs, buildings, and the city of Yucheng, which took thousands of years to complete, even if he took it, it would take a lot of work to rebuild. The truce will only take a few days, but how can it be rebuilt for a few years or decades? Yucheng is like a turtle in an urn, so why not breathe a sigh of relief and make a truce for a few days according to what he calls a fair decisive battle. ”

There will be some in favor and some against.

Zhao Yun, one of Yangming's most trusted generals, said: "Our army is newly defeated, and there are not a few casualties, and the most important thing is that it will take time to replenish the troops." Depending on the end, you can also push the boat along the water. ”

Yang Ming then replied to Ba Yuanan: a truce of five days.

On the evening of the fourth day, an urgent messenger arrived, urging Yang Ming to meet the king of Chu. At this time, the king of Chu was about to arrive in Yicheng.

Yang Ming didn't know what he meant, and he was confused, but the king didn't dare to disobey the order, and temporarily handed over the military power to his deputy Qu Rong, and told him to guard the newly taken Tingzi Pass, Shicheng, Xiaoguan and other key passes.

General Chu Yangming, stepped on the fast horse, hurriedly and doubtfully left the front line, stirring his brain to think about what happened, and the king wanted to summon him at this juncture?
