It was six o'clock in the hour, and the night covered the whole land, covering up the cruelty and bloodshed of the battlefield during the day.

The Zhou army has all returned to the camp, and the casualties of the Zhou army in the daytime battle are not large, less than 2,000 people, and the battle on the plains is like this, and the casualties are like snow melting.

In the tent of Zhou Junshuai, Li Yuanbai sat behind the handsome case, and on the handsome case was Zhang Han's white silk long knife.

On the left is the second prince, on the right is the governor Sima Zhou Jing, and below are the seven Zhou army generals.

"General, Zhang Han is also a master of the head armor, is it so easy to be captured alive?" The second prince was the first to speak, if Zhang Han was captured, he, as the initiator of the campaign, would be guilty of it.

"Today's Zhao Tong, judging from her martial arts, is not impossible." Zhou Jing, the governor next to him, spoke.

"Not only Zhang Han, Wang Lin and Huangfu Qin are also in the hands of that Zhao Yingqi, in addition, the 15,000 elite cavalry of my Zhou State was wiped out, and the Shuo army has 6,000 prisoners of war of our Zhou State, Your Majesty is only afraid of thunder and anger." Li Yuanbai squinted at the second prince on the left.

The second prince also heard what Li Yuanbai meant, as the initiator of the battle against Shuo, he really didn't expect it to be so serious, originally Wang Lin didn't have any news back for six days, he only thought it was because the Shuo army blocked the news in Chunnei Road, and in any case, he couldn't imagine that in just six days, the 15,000 family funds he had saved so hard would be lost.

Thinking that this fifteen thousand elite horses had been saved by himself for three years, and the cost was huge, and it was gone, the second prince who was in pain was dripping blood in his heart.

Li Yuanbai looked at the second prince's face pale, but he only felt ashamed of the second prince, but he didn't want to continue to squeeze him.

"The biggest problem now is that Zhang Han, as my general of the Great Wednesday Pinyun Army, must not be ignored now that he is captured, not to mention that there are still 6,000 prisoners of war who are fighting for the country in the hands of the Shuo army, this matter will no longer be able to be specialized, and it must be played by Your Majesty as soon as possible, and your Majesty will decide." Li Yuanbai basically set the tone of this matter.

"No, even if it is 800 miles expedited to Tongying Mansion, it will take at least six days to go back and forth, and it will delay the fighter." The second prince was still very resistant to letting his father know about the matter here.

Li Yuanbai couldn't directly refute the second prince, so he gave Governor Sima Zhou Jing a look.

Zhou Jing has followed Li Yuanbai for more than ten years, and he understands Li Yuanbai's meaning very well, so he said: "Second prince, although the general has the right to arbitrarily make decisions on the spot, but it is limited to below the fourth grade, General Zhang is my general of the third rank of Yunlu, and he is also one of the nine top armor masters of my Great Zhou, so I can only ask Your Majesty to make a decision." ”

"Besides, the appearance of the master and servant today, and the six thousand prisoners of war, must be decided by His Majesty." Li Yuanbai then made up for it.

"But what if the Shuo army takes this opportunity to delay time and cause the battle situation to be unfavorable?" The second prince still wants to fight for it one last time.

"Today's words that Zhao Yingqi asked Zhao Tong to come over are very interesting, Zhao Yingqi is not an official of Shuoguo, and the ransom is only asked for in the name of a person, judging from these, Zhao Yingqi also wants to convey a meaning." Li Yuanbai took out the white silk, carefully observed the soft knife under the light in the tent, poured it into it with internal force, watched the blade become soft and hard, and was full of interest: "Zhao Yingqi's position may not be completely on the side of Shuoguo, and my Da Zhou can actually fight for this Zhao Yingqi." ”

"That's right, it is impossible for Zhao Tong's skills to have no news in the world, but now it has suddenly appeared, and it only appears from a personal standpoint, there is only one possibility." Zhou Jing hurriedly agreed.

"The general and Sima mean that this Zhao Yingqi may be a hero from the Hidden World Sect?" The second prince quickly understood what the two of them wanted to express when they sang and harmonized.

"I thought it was possible." Li Yuanbai put the knife back into its sheath and put it on the handsome case aside.

"There have been several times in history, the descendants of the hermit sect have come out of the mountain, there are those with outstanding intelligence, and there are also those who dominate the world with martial arts, all of them are like this about 20 years old, and they are a blockbuster. This Zhao Yingqi publicly stated that he was not an official of Shuoguo, which shows that Zhao Yingqi has no intention of entering Shuoguo as a official, for you and me, isn't it good news? Zhou Jing cooperated with Li Yuanbai to guide the second prince step by step.

"In that case, then the Emperor will decide, but will we wait for five or six days here in vain?" The second prince has been convinced, and he is even thinking about how to recruit this Zhao Yingqi master and servant, this kind of credit is definitely more than the capture of Jia and Nei counties.

Li Yuanbai and Zhou Jing looked at each other and smiled, Jiang is still old and spicy, this second prince wants to conceal it and not report it, how could Li Yuanbai and Zhou Jing take the blame for him, the emperor of Zhou has been on the throne for almost forty years, in addition to their superintendent Sima, I don't know how many emperors' eyeliner there are, it is really wishful thinking to hide it and not report it, and in the end, his second prince has the support of the imperial concubine, at most he reprimands a few words and then grounds, and in the end, it is the two of them who have to take the blame.

Li Yuanbai personally stated the events of today's battlefield clearly, and added a sentence at the end: "Zhao Yingqi's master and servant, Zhao Yingqi's art of war is extraordinary, Zhao Tong's martial arts are outstanding, fortunately it was not used by Shuo, the minister will try his best to stabilize the situation, and do not let the two of them enter Shuo as officials, and hope that His Majesty will make a decision as soon as possible." ”

I read the urgent music up and down, and there were no mistakes or omissions, put it in an oiled paper envelope and seal it with a sealing tube, covered it with its own seal, and handed it over to the Hongling messenger to send it to the capital of Zhou Guoguo and the British Mansion to enter the palace directly.

Li Yuanbai ordered each battalion to send additional manpower to inspect to prevent the Shuo army from taking advantage of the opportunity to sneak attack, and asked the two battalions of the front army to send more scouts to keep an eye on the movements of the Shuo army.

At noon the next day, next to Shuojun County, in Guan Zhengnong's barracks, Zhao Yingqi woke up from a hangover.

Zhao Tong had already prepared the hot water towel early, sat on the edge of the bed and helped Zhao Yingqi stir the brazier, and after a night of burning, the charcoal in the brazier was almost burned out, and the warmth in the tent receded, and Zhao Tong added some new carbon.

Seeing Zhao Yingqi wake up, he hurriedly put down the fire clip.

Zhao Yingqi sat up, sat in a daze for a while, and sighed twice.

Seeing this, Zhao Tong knew that Zhao Yingqi was thirsty, and poured a cup of tea for Zhao Yingqi, Zhao Tong really served Zhao Yingqi very thoughtfully, this tea was neither lukewarm nor hot, so that Zhao Yingqi drank very comfortably.

After a hangover, he must be thirsty, Zhao Yingqi had already experienced it in his previous life, and took the teapot from Zhao Tong's hand and began to pour it directly to the spout.

"Sir, drink slowly, it's all flowing to your body." Zhao Tong hurriedly took out a silk handkerchief from the placket on his chest and wiped Zhao Yingqi's neck and chest.

"Huh... This Guan Zhengnong's wine is really good, I was greedy for a cup last night. "In general, Zhao Yingqi's drink is still quite refreshing, at least although the body practicing martial arts in this life will get drunk if he drinks too much, at least he doesn't have a headache after a hangover.

Zhao Tong waited for Zhao Yingqi to get up and freshen up and change clothes, Zhao Yingqi came to this world, and was originally very dissatisfied with this kind of long hair that can reach the chest, but in the past few days, he has become accustomed to it, and he especially likes to tie his long hair into a long ponytail at the back of his head.

Zhao Tong also likes to tie a long ponytail like her husband, but Zhao Tong's hair is slightly longer than Zhao Yingqi's, so the ponytail is slightly higher.

Zhao Yingqi is also very satisfied with Zhao Tong's hairstyle, in his previous life, Zhao Yingqi especially liked ponytail girls, and after her hair was tied up, a neck was exposed, and the whole person looked slim.

Zhao Yingqi sat there, feeling the gentle movement of Zhao Tong's hand behind him behind his head, and asked, "Xiaotong, how was the injury yesterday?" ”

"Sir, don't worry, it's just a minor injury, and it's no longer a major problem. But sir, too, is injured, so he shouldn't have drunk so much. Zhao Tong's subordinates kept moving, carefully adjusting Zhao Yingqi's ponytail.

"It's okay, your medicine is very good, I already felt itchy yesterday, and it seems to be healing." Zhao Yingqi rubbed the wound on his left arm slightly.

After Zhao Tong returned to the battle yesterday, their master and servant received an extremely grand welcome from the Shuo army, of course, mainly because of Zhao Tong.

Guan Zhengnong invited his master and servant to the newly set up military camp outside the county to celebrate, and Zhao Yingqi originally wanted to reason that drinking alcohol during the war was not in accordance with military law. However, Guan Zhengnong said that according to Li Ping's dictation to the emperor of Shuoguo, the current military commander of the Zhou State is his Li Ping's department, and Guan Zhengnong and the second line troops are only cooperating, so it is not a matter of matter, and after Li Yuanbai collected his troops, a messenger had already been sent to the armistice for five days.

Now the initiative on the frontal battlefield is in the Zhou army, and the Shuo army can't wait for a temporary truce, thinking that he Li Ping doesn't have the courage to rush out and fight against the Zhou iron cavalry on the plain.

Therefore, last night, Guan Zhengnong's military camp next to Neixian County was brightly lit and cheered and shook the sky, but Li Ping's barracks at the Chunnei Road Crossing was brightly lit.

Zhao Yingqi woke up and it was already three poles in the morning, and it was almost noon.

Guan Zhengnong had already arrived outside Zhao Yingqi's tent when Zhao Yingqi woke up, and Zhao Tong had come out to ask the soldiers to prepare meals before Zhao Yingqi washed up, and Guan Zhengnong came as soon as he got the news.

Zhao Yingqi walked out of the military tent, took a long breath of fresh air outside, and couldn't help but look back at the brazier inside the tent, feeling that this thing was really unsafe without a stove.

Guan Zhengnong hurriedly stepped forward: "My brother slept very sweetly this night." ”

"It's not because Brother Guan's wine is good."

"Hehe, these two counties are the only way for the Zhou Kingdom to trade southward, and naturally many businessmen will give my brother some filial piety." Guan Zhengnong did not hide it at all.

"I don't know if my brother doesn't hurry up to build a new position, why do you come to me?" Zhao Yingqi pushed away Zhao Tong's hand to put a cloak on him, the weather was good today, Zhao Yingqi didn't feel too cold, mainly because he got up too late.

"Brother doesn't know, early in the morning, the Zhou army sent a messenger, saying that Li Yuanbai, the general of the town army of Zhou, and Lian Yongding, the second prince, invited the two to meet and chat in front of the battle, and they have been waiting all morning." Guan Zhengnong saw Zhao Tong show his might in the Zhou army yesterday, and he also drew with Li Yuanbai, the number one master in the Zhou army, and admired Zhao Tong even more.

"What are they looking for me for? What gold brings? Zhao Yingqi asked as he walked through the barracks.

"Hey, brother, don't talk about gold, brother, if you are short of money, you tell my brother, five thousand taels of gold can be taken out by the brother, you just need to hand over Wang Lin and the three of you to the brother, and you will definitely give the gold to the brother within three days." Guan Zhengnong was afraid that Zhao Yingqi would really hand over Wang Lin and the others, especially Zhang Han.
