For five days in a row, the Eastern Chu army hung up the exemption card, no matter how the Eastern Yue army called the battle, the Eastern Chu army only used bows and crossbows to shoot the camp fence and hold on to it.

At this time, the East Vietnamese army has gradually become disordered, most of the grain and grass were burned by the East Chu army, and a small part of the grain and grass was transported to the East Chu camp, and when Wu Zhu fled, there was little grain and grass left, although there was still some grain in Wusheng County, but these insignificant stocks of grain could not supply the daily consumption of the 70,000 army.

On the other side, in the south of the city of Damo to the west of Wusheng, here is the camp of the East Vietnamese army, there are more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the long-term attack on Damo has made Suyao's subordinates scarred, and the original 40,000 troops no longer exist at this time, but Wuzhu has repeatedly urged Suyao to storm Damo, which makes Suyao resentful.

As long as the two armies join forces, they can recapture the land of Yue, and it is precisely because of this that Su Shao will be humble in every way, but at this time, Su Shao gradually realized that the East Vietnamese Army has fallen into a passive situation, and is led by the East Chu Army everywhere, even at the end of the day, it is so strong and difficult to shake at this time.

Su Shao also wanted to win the big end, but he couldn't see the point of winning the big end at this time.

Moreover, since Wuzhu's camp was disturbed by the Eastern Chu army at night, Su Shao fled, and when he returned to his camp at first, he was still shocked, but when he came back to taste, he realized that all this was caused by Wuzhu's light enemy.

Of course, he also underestimated Xiang Zhuang too much, which led to such a passive today, but in any case, Su Shao must plan the way back, can't steal chickens and rice, and then put his own troops in, so thinking, Su shook his right hand and clenched his fist, slamming the table, at this time, a personal report sounded outside the tent: "General, we caught a fisherman east of Damo City, he claimed to be a messenger of Eastern Chu, and asked to see the king." ”

"Eastern Chu envoy?" After a while, he fell into deep thought again, and said to himself: "When the two countries go to war, Xiang Zhuang sent an envoy for what? ”

Su Shao was still thinking about it, and on the side, the general Shu Hongna arched his hand and said: "General, since the Chu envoy has arrived, why not see it?" ”

Shu Hongna's words reminded Su Shao, instead of avoiding it, it is better to see what kind of medicine is sold in Xiang Zhuang's gourd, thinking of this, Qi Yao shouted outside the tent: "Bring Chu envoy in." ”

About a cup of tea, several East Vietnamese soldiers escorted the Chu envoy to the Shuai account, and when he saw that the Chu envoy had brought it, he couldn't help but shout: "Who are you?" ”

"I joined the army in the Tiger Battalion of the Eastern Chu State, Zhou Sheng, on the order of the king of my family, I took a boat from Zhejiang to the south and sent an envoy to the Dongou Kingdom." Zhou took out his token from his arms and handed it to a Dongyue soldier, the Dongyue soldier took the token and turned around and came to the side of the Dongyue soldier, who was surprised by the intention of the Dongchu envoy at this time, and saw him hand over the token, so he took it and looked at it, sure enough, it was the token of the Dongchu army, but he thought about it, it is impossible for the Dongchu State not to know, the Dongou State has long ceased to exist, since the beginning of the Qin State, it has not recognized the existence of the Dongou State, but Xiang Zhuang has sent an envoy to Eastern Europe to come here, what is its purpose?

After thinking for a moment, he sneered: "I'm afraid you're in the wrong place, I'm here is the Dongyue ** camp, not the Dongou country." ”

"Do you want to work for others for the rest of your life?" Zhou Sheng sneered and asked Shu Hongna, who was on the side, shouted: "Bold, do you dare to talk to my general like this?" ”

Zhou Sheng hurriedly arched his hand and said: "I didn't mean to offend your king, but I came this time to bring your king a chance to restore the country, if you don't cherish it, once the Dongyue Kingdom is defeated, my Eastern Chu Kingdom army will go south, and the Dongou Kingdom may not have a chance to rise to the south." ”

As soon as Zhou Sheng's words fell, Su Shao asked with interest: "Give me a chance to return to the country?" Let's hear it. ”

Zhou Sheng saw that his heart was a little shaken, and he was more confident in his heart, so he smiled and said: "The alliance between Eastern European countries and Dongyue is going north, just to look at the land of my Eastern Chu, just imagine, my Eastern Chu country has 100,000 armor, the country is rich and the people are strong, and there is the Ming lord Xiangzhuang to defend it, how can the little Dongyue be able to conquer it?" ”

Zhou Sheng paused, his eyes were like torches looking at the donkey, and said: "Although the Eastern European countries are not recognized in the Qin State, it does not mean that the king of my family does not recognize the Dongou Kingdom, the king of my family has always advocated that peace is precious, and he does not want frequent wars in the land of Jiangdong, so he has never had the real strength to fight with the Dongyue Kingdom, but he has endured it again and again, but the king of the Dongyue Kingdom has no one in his eyes, and he is aggressive, and my Eastern Chu Kingdom is already on the bow and has to be sent, therefore, the king of my family hopes that the Dongou Kingdom will not be involved in this war, and the casualties will only increase." ”

After Zhou Sheng finished saying this, Su Shao had lowered his head and pondered, at this time, Zhou Shen said: "Besides, our military region Damo County, your army has not been able to conquer so far, and now our reinforcements are camped on the south bank of Zhejiang, and they can go south to reinforce Da Mo at any time. ”

Zhou Sheng's words obviously had an effect, and Su Shao was still pondering, but he no longer had the domineering attitude he had just now, and Shu Hongna on the side shouted unconvinced: "It's just the end, do you think we can't take it?" I'm going to lead the troops to attack the city, and I'm going to show you that our Dongou Kingdom can also fight well! ”

Shu Hongna wanted to get up, but he hurriedly scolded: "Hugh is rude! ”

At this time, Su Shao had woken up from his contemplation, he looked at Zhou Sheng, and wondered: "Is the Eastern Chu Kingdom really willing to recognize our Dongou Kingdom?" ”

"We not only recognize the existence of Dongou State, but also, our battle will definitely defeat the Dongyue Army, then the Dongyue Army is no longer strong, and the land of Minyue is no longer the dominant country of Dongyue, the king of my family will also send a letter to inform the world, recognize the existence of Dongou State, and form an alliance with your country forever, if the Dongyue State dares to invade your country, our country should send a righteous army to help, at that time, Dongou State can be strong, no longer under the control of Dongyue State, wouldn't it be better?"

Zhou Sheng's words completely touched Su Shao, Su Shao's heart began to move, he got up and wandered around the table, after walking for a while, Su Shao resolutely looked at Zhou Sheng, and said angrily: "I agree to your request, and please fulfill your promise, if there is the slightest deception, although my Dongou Kingdom is small, although there are only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, I will go north to step on the border, so that the Eastern Chu Kingdom will never have peace." ”

Zhou Sheng also smiled and arched his hand: "Then it's a word." ”

……

Zhou Sheng left, only Su Shao and Shu Hongna were left in the big tent, at this time Su Shao had sat back in his position, he ordered someone to send wine and meat, at this time Su Shao was in a good mood, he poured a glass of wine, raised his glass to look at Shu Hongna, and laughed: "Come, let's make this glass." ”

Shu Hongna was a little worried, and sighed: "If we break the covenant, I'm afraid that the Dongyue Kingdom will not give up." ”

"You mallet!" He shook off his drink and drank all the wine in his cup, then laughed and said, "No master, he can go back alive and settle accounts with me." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Shu Hongna was slightly surprised, but he sneered: "Does Xiang Zhuang think his plan is seamless? He wants me to withdraw my troops, and then blockade Damo County, cutting off Wuzhu's retreat, so that he can fight with Wuzhu with all his might, but this is okay, Wuzhu is defeated, and Dongyue is greatly damaged, I can rise to one side, officially announce the restoration of Dongou State, and then try to be strong, recruit troops, recruit talented people, and in less than two years, I can fight with Dongyue! ”

Shu Hongna seemed to see the ambition of the sway, and he couldn't help laughing: "As long as there is foreign aid from the Eastern Chu State, we can annex Dongyue, at that time, we will be strong and strong, and if we fight Eastern Chu again, will we have a greater chance of winning?" ”

"That's it!" He poured another glass of wine, laughed and said, "After this glass of wine, we will withdraw our troops tonight." ”

……

After Zhou Sheng left the camp, he hurried north.

In fact, Zhou Sheng went south with Ying Liang, and the reason why he wanted to tell Su Yao that he came from the north of Zhejiang was to make a time difference, so that he would not let Su Yao know that he was temporarily ordained, so that he could also feel that Xiang Zhuang had always been very concerned about the affairs of Dongou Kingdom.

At this time, Zhou Sheng rushed all the way, and finally rushed back to the camp on the south bank of Zhejiang in the afternoon, there are two thousand garrisons here, all of which are the elite of the Tiger Battalion, just to cooperate with Xiang Zhuang's southern front operation, and Ying Liang since receiving Xiang Zhuang's flying pigeon urgency letter, he let Zhou Sheng set off to the south to persuade the donkey, at this time Ying Liang has been wandering outside the camp, he is waiting for Zhou Sheng to return, at this time he is very worried, worried that Zhou Sheng will be shaken and killed.

Although it is said that the two armies do not fight each other, in many cases, the killing of the envoy is also a kind of deterrent to the enemy.

Just when Ying Liang was pacing back and forth in front of the camp, Zhou Sheng's figure on horseback appeared in the distance, and behind him, a team of scouts guarded him tightly, far away, Ying Liang shouted anxiously: "How is the negotiation?" ”

Zhou Sheng didn't wait to come to Ying Liang, so he shouted on the horse: "It's done, it's done, Su Shao agreed." ”

Ying Liang stomped his foot and said with great joy: "Great! ”

Soon, Zhou Sheng rode his horse to the front, and after Ying Liang and Zhou Sheng talked for a while, the two hurriedly walked to the camp.

At the time of Shen, a scout sent back the news that the East Vietnamese army, which had been besieging Damo County, had pulled out of the village and hurriedly withdrew south.

Half an hour later, Ying Liang's team arrived at Damo County, the defenders on the city tower are still in full array, although the East Vietnamese army has withdrawn, but they dare not have half a minute of negligence, at this time a cavalry has hurried to the city, on the horse shouted: "Listen to the city, we are the sergeants of the Tiger Battalion, ordered to follow General Ying Liang to the south to help the end of the city, please open the city gate quickly!" ”

"Wait a minute, I'll go and call the general over." A military marquis on the city tower replied.

Immediately, some soldiers happily rushed down the city tower and rushed to the county office.

A tea time, Ding Hong and Jun Zi Yu hurried to the city tower, Jun Zi Yu has been beside Xiang Zhuang for a long time, he knows Ying Liang, at this time to see the arrival of reinforcements, nearly a month of tension finally eased, he looked at a pro-soldier and said: "Go and open the city gate!" ”

Then, a carrier pigeon was released from the head of Damoe City, and it crossed the mountains and mountains and hurried eastward.
