Xue Muhua said: "He fought with them a few times before, and they all succeeded, and the people of the Eastern Chahe Department were originally only a small group of cavalry attacking, so he didn't bring many soldiers." ”

"And what about this time?"

"This time—" Xue Muhua's face turned pale when he said this: "An army of 200,000 was suddenly sent over there, and he was intercepted in Nian Baoyu's area. ”

200,000 troops?!

My heart twitched: "Then he-"

Yan Qingchen raised his hand, his fingertips held the paper that he took off the falcon's feet that day, and said calmly: "If you can pass on the message, it's no problem at the moment, and the message he passed on is only asking for more troops, not asking for help." ”

It's just to increase troops, not to call for help.

As soon as I heard this, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what, I don't want anything bad to happen to Pei Yuanfeng.

But—

Although it is only a request for more troops, although it is not a call for help, it is only temporary, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and any change can happen. And as soon as I remembered the qiē I experienced in Dongzhou, I saw Chang Qing's back and never came back, the tragic situation of rivers of blood and corpses all over the field, that kind of fear was like the deepest nightmare, which made me tremble when I thought about it.

I hurriedly said, "Then increase the troops immediately, no matter what, we can't let him have an accident!" ”

Yan Qingchen glanced at me and didn't answer this sentence immediately.

My heart chuckled.

Pei Yuanfeng was intercepted by 200,000 troops in Nian Baoyu, although he could still transmit the message, but the war was comparable to a fire incident, and he could not delay it at all, since Yan Qingchen had already received a message asking for more troops, why didn't he act immediately, but came to me, and Liu Qinghan.

Is this what he left us for?

Liu Qinghan said: "Yan Gongzi didn't send troops immediately, is there any other plan?" ”

Yan Qingchen smiled faintly quietly: "Actually, in addition to increasing troops, there is a better way." ”

"I want to hear about it."

Yan Qingchen turned his head to look at him: "I heard that Tu Shuhan's beard is very capable of fighting." ”

Liu Qinghan's face froze.

I also felt something, and looked at Yan Qingchen in shock.

After a while, Liu Qinghan said dumbly: "So what? ”

"I heard that it was he who drove the Dongchahe Department out of Hehuang at the beginning, and now he is heavily guarded there. He is now one of the most trusted and most important generals of the Central Plains Emperor. I heard that his sister was still the emperor's woman. ”

Liu Qinghan's face became more and more unsightly.

Anything else, Yan Qingchen actually told the emperor's harem, which must make Liu Qinghan more vigilant.

However, my heart is clear.

Of course I know where Yan Qingchen's news came from, it's just that looking at Liu Qinghan's slightly frowning eyebrows, my heart is a little heavy, and I don't know how he would feel if he knew the truth of the matter.

After being silent for a while, he spoke, and said slowly: "Do you want people from the court to send troops to help you fight?" ”

Yan Qingchen smiled slightly: "Since I opened this mouth, I didn't want the people from the court to help me." ”

“……”

"I also help the Central Plains Imperial Court."

“……”

He slowly put his two hands on the table and shook hands, and said slowly: "As an official, of course, you also know that the ambition of the Eastern Chahe Department is not small, and the constant harassment of the border fortress over the years is not as simple as plundering the border fortress town, but to test our attitude and test the strength of the eastern departments. Once given them a chance, none of us had a peaceful life. ”

I looked at Liu Qinghan, his face was solemn, but he didn't say anything immediately.

It's just me, and I'm already in a cold sweat in my palm.

I vaguely remembered that after I killed Liu Ningyan with a trick, I once asked Pei Yuanfeng if he had ever killed anyone, and he told me that he crawled out of the pile of dead people in Xidatong, he had previously mastered hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Celestial Empire, and so many brothers in life and death under his command also followed him to kill their lives from there.

It can be seen that the war between the Central Plains and the Eastern Chahe Department lasted for a long time and the battle situation was tragic.

Therefore, if this battle is to be fought, it is really not a matter of a single region in Xichuan.

Liu Qinghan was silent for a while, then raised his head to look at him: "Then the purpose of your coming to me today—"

"I want you to persuade Tu Shuhan and our department to jointly use troops to repel the Eastern Chahe Division."

“……”

Liu Qinghan did not speak.

After a long while, he spoke, and said lightly: "It is impossible for the emperor to agree." ”

Yan Qingchen also smiled faintly: "That's why I came to you." ”

"......" Liu Qinghan glanced at him: "Do you think that the emperor will not agree to something, I can persuade Tu Shuhan?" ”

Yan Qingchen smiled faintly: "The generals are outside, the military order is not subject to it, the war in the frontier has always been said to be fought, do you really have to travel thousands of miles to the capital to ask for a decree?" Nian Baoyu is not far from the bearded man's garrison, he really sent troops, it can be regarded as fighting his own battle, and uniting with our department, he can win a big victory, and he will go back to receive all the credit. ”

Liu Qinghan was silent.

I said softly, "Light cold? ”

He looked at me and shook his head.

Li'er has been quiet, looking at us adults without saying a word, maybe she can't understand a lot of things we say, only "fighting" and "fighting" back and forth, which makes her look more and more frightened.

However, she still kept pinching Liu Qinghan's fingers.

Liu Qinghan said: "This is not enough to say that Tu Shuhan is moving. It is impossible to think only about winning and defeating in a war. His successive victories were very prestigious in the DPRK, and the expulsion of the Dongchahe tribe from Hehuang was already a great achievement, and if it failed at this time, it would be a complete defeat. ”

Yan Qingchen also fell silent.

Liu Qinghan's consideration is not unreasonable, we start from the best side in everything, but as a general, he must still consider the point of "10,000 steps back", if this battle is lost, all his previous victories will be zero.

Therefore, what Yan Qingchen said is not enough to say that he slaughtered Shuhan.

Because Tu Shuhan can't afford to lose.

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

Xue Muhua looked at us, stood up at this time, and said, "No matter what, I still have to go to him." Childe, no matter whether it is an increase in troops or a union, if he has something, I must be by his side. I have to go. ”

After saying that, she was about to turn and leave.

I hurriedly called her, "Miss Muhua! ”

She glanced back at me, her eyes a little flustered and a little helpless, which made her delicate little face look more and more weak and pale, but her words were extremely firm.

"My wedding date with him is approaching, and I can't leave him alone that day anyway. I'm going to be with him. ”

“……”

Seeing that she was about to turn around and leave again, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and something suddenly came to mind: "You wait! ”

She paused abruptly and looked back at me.

I said, "I'...... I might have a way. ”

Her eyes widened all of a sudden, and she looked at me in surprise and joy: "You? What can you do?! ”

“……”

The initial thoughts took shape in my mind in an instant, but then there was a burst of almost suffocating depression, and I turned my head to look at Liu Qinghan.

He looked at me with some confusion, as if asking "what's wrong", I bit my lower lip and said, "I have a way, maybe I can persuade him." ”

"What's the solution?"

“…… Also, you are needed. ”

"Me?"

He looked at me hesitantly, as if he wanted to ask again, but I had already turned my head to look at Yan Qingchen - after all, the situation is not too clear now, and it is impossible for me to release all my hole cards. On the contrary, I still have some things that Yan Qingchen needs to solve for me.

I asked, "You want Lord Liu and them to help you win over the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, why did you leave me and Yuan Xiu behind?" ”

He looked at me with a smile: "Sister, shouldn't you stay?" This is your home. ”

"My home? Even if it is, it's not here. ”

“……”

"In the West Hills."

This sentence also stabbed him, and a crack appeared on the mask-like smile on Yan Qingchen's handsome face, and he said slowly: "Sister, I really haven't forgiven the original thing." You still have resentment in your heart. ”

"I can't talk about it, and I don't want to talk about it." I was indifferent, but I also said with a cold and hard attitude: "I just want you to sue me and leave me and Yuan Xiu behind, what is your purpose?" ”

He looked at me for a while and said, "Yuanfeng and Tu Shuhan, the two ways are still not enough. ”

I'm a little chaotic for a while, two ways are not enough, do you want three ways? Now there are people from Xichuan, Central Plains, and Jiangnan. He left me and Pei Yuanxiu behind, it is impossible for Jiangnan to send troops, right? With thousands of miles and thousands of mountains and rivers, how could it be possible for Jiangnan's soldiers to cross the entire Central Plains Continent?

It's impossible!

And what he meant-

Yan Qingchen looked at me and said with a smile: "I heard that the Iron Halberd Prince of Saibei has a good relationship with Pei Yuanxiu. ”

My eyes widened.

What he said was-

"I heard that he is also a war maniac, but I don't know why, he has been quiet all these years," Yan Qingchen smiled slightly, and the corners of his mouth showed a shallow smile, as if he was still very happy: "I heard that the East Chahe Department crossed the Hexi and met him in Saibei, and the two iron cavalry fought very well, but later Tu Shuhan cut off the middle road, and the people of the East Chahe Department retreated." ”

My head was buzzing.

Looking at the two thin lips that kept moving, and what was still being said, I couldn't tell the difference, but at this time, I turned my head and looked at Xue Muhua, who was standing aside, anxious, but didn't know anything about the torment in my heart.

I just felt like blood was pouring up my head.

Saibei ......

Prince of the Iron Halberd......

Huang Ye!
