Chapter Eighty-Four: The Moon Is Dark and the Wind is High

The timber and location of the camp have long been arranged by Guqiu City, and it is located in the southwest corner, about half a mile away from the camp of Yun Yaohou.

The banner of the word 'Su' hunted and flew around, Li Dao was in full armor, and the Flying Bear Army had been patrolling outside the village to observe the terrain, and Dong Zhuo commanded the Xiliang Army to erect a fence and set up a soldier's tent.

Outside the tent of the Chinese army, Fang Xuejun, who had unloaded eight knives, held a hot soup bowl, and quickly ran past Dian Wei outside, and got into the curtain, Dian Wei habitually moved his body to block all the gaps in the curtain.

"Hot ......" The woman twisted the edge of the bowl with both hands, walked quickly to the long case, and put the soup bowl down, "Drink, I specially cooked sugar water for you." ”

Behind the long case, Su Chen, who was looking at the map, looked back at Fang Xuejun who kept blowing his fingers, "Your martial arts are not low, are you also afraid of being hot?" ”

"I'm not afraid." Fang Xuejun blew her fingers and said casually: "My maid said that women should be a little weaker...... Speaking of this, she quickly closed her mouth, raised her eyes and saw Su Chen looking at herself with a smile, put her hand behind her embarrassedly, and nodded again: "That...... Do you say you are afraid or not afraid?. ”

Su Chen didn't say anything to her here, picked up the chicken soup and blew it, and took a sip, "After a long journey, you are also tired, there is no need to cook sugar water for me." ”

Honey was under water, Su Chen put down the bowl, and when he saw the woman standing motionless, he frowned: "Go back to the tent to rest, and the Marquis of Chang Yu will come over later." ”

"I'm your guard, it makes sense here!" Fang Xuejun stood still.

"There is Dian Wei, there is a battalion of shield halberds around, and there are 10,000 Xiliang and 5,000 Ding'an troops outside." Su Chen handed the empty bowl back to her, "How can something happen." ”

Fang Xuejun held the bowl, his fingers twisted and clasped the bottom of the bowl, "General Dian can't protect him personally, but I can." ”

"Huh?"

Su Chen stretched out his hand and put the back of his hand on her forehead, Fang Xuejun was excited, dodged back, and blushed: "What are you doing?" ”

"It's a little burning."

"Burn?" Fang Xuejun touched his forehead by himself, "No." ”

Seeing that she didn't react, Su Chen couldn't continue to tease her, and was about to ask Dian Wei outside to take her out, when the giant man's voice sounded first.

"Lord, what kind of marquis here has come."

Immediately, an unfamiliar voice sounded: "General, Duan Jin came to meet you!" ”

"Please enter the account of the marquis."

Su Chen shushed at Fang Xuejun, signaling her to stand next to her obediently, just be a guard, then turned around and walked back to the long case and sat down, the curtain on the opposite side was opened, and a figure came in wearing armor, no weapons at the waist, probably handed over to the guards outside, the person who came was about seven feet tall, with a long face and a high nose, about forty.

Seeing Su Chen in the first place, he didn't have an expression of 'Su Chen is so young' on his face, but arched his hand with a calm expression: "I finally saw the general, even younger than Duan imagined!" ”

"Haha, Xie Changyu praises!"

Su Chen invited the other party to sit down, asked Fang Xuejun to take the wine and pour it, and after a few words of greeting, he realized that the other party had already been to the military camp of Yonghuai Hou and Yun Yao Hou before coming here.

"You can come to Yuzhou, how can Duan not fulfill the friendship of the landlord, come here today to see what the general needs."

"You don't have to do what you need." Su Chen touched his wine glass with him, "I just don't know, when will the alliance be formed?" ”

The curtain was lowered, the tent was a little dark, the woman lit the oil lamp, moved the lamp to the long case, Duan Jin on one side glanced at Fang Xuejun, and saw that she was wearing slim leather armor, so he didn't look further.

Picking up Su Chen's inquiry, "...... It is estimated that it will take two days, Haixinghou is still on the road, he just drove away a Taishou a few days ago, and the rectification of soldiers and horses was delayed for a few days, Zhangzhou Hun Hou needs to make a detour to Yunzhou, and Yunzhou Wubao Marquis arrived through Huaizhou, Fenzhou's Liaoxiang Marquis did not send a message, but sent a henchman to lead five thousand soldiers over, his eldest son Wang Huaiyi is still in Yanjing, and was left by the emperor as a proton. ”

Staying in the capital?

That should be the time of the Dynasty Meeting.

If the elder brother doesn't die, it is estimated that he will be thrown into the prison and kept as a proton, then the Su family can really only swallow their anger and dare not rebel.

After all, once he rebelled, he might force Su Yong to death.

Just like Ma Chao did back then, his father and brothers were all killed.

Su Chen sighed, and the marquis of Changyu opposite thought that he was sighing at Wang Huaiyi, so he smiled and said: "The emperor's thoughts, the marquis of various states and counties are not blind, they all see it in their eyes, and the marquis of the country also has suffering, so he can only send out the only five thousand people under his command." But even so, the strength of the Seven Marquis, plus the 5,000 of the Liaoxiang Marquis, is more than 80,000 people, and if they kill Yanzhou together, I don't believe that the emperor can hold it! ”

The Marquis of Changqi said something intermittently, and he was ready to leave. Su Chen sent him outside the gate, "Chang Yuhou go slowly!" Seeing that the other party turned over and got on the horse, turned sideways and said goodbye to the horse to leave, Su Chen's eyes turned cold.

He realized a problem, and pushed the soldiers to Yanzhou and took Yanjing, and these seven marquis probably won't obediently lead the troops back to their respective fiefdoms, and then talk about it. Su Chen shook his head, turned around and walked towards the big tent of the Chinese army.

There are also three princes, one of the henchmen of the Xianghou is on the way, in the next two days, Su Chen, Marquis of Yunyao, Wu Huizhi, Marquis Yonghuai, and Marquis Changqi mostly stay in their own army, and occasionally visit each other, after all, Su Chen has fought with the imperial court several times, and several people usually come over to ask some things about the formation of soldiers and horses in the imperial court and the quality of soldiers.

On the third day of the arrival, Zhao Guangwei, Marquis of Haixing, Zhou Heng, Marquis of Hun, and Zhong Ji, the confidant general of Liaoxianghou, arrived in the morning and afternoon respectively and set up camp around Guqiu City.

At dusk, the Marquis of Changqi sent an envoy to send invitations to the seven princes to go to the city to discuss some affairs before the alliance, and the banquet was set up in the palace of the Marquis of Changqi.

In the relationship between entering the city, everyone tacitly cooperated with the rules of the master here, and only brought five hundred soldiers and horses, and Su Chen only brought Dian Wei, Fang Xuejun, and five hundred shield halberders, Dong Zhuo and Li Dao did not take off their armor or rest their horses, and the whole army camp was on standby in case of accidents.

After night fell, a curfew had been imposed on all streets of Guqiu City, and the people were not allowed to go to the streets, so as to facilitate the passage of soldiers and horses. When they arrived at the mansion of the Marquis of Changqi, it was brightly lit inside, Su Chen took Dian Wei in, and Fang Xuejun was outside with five hundred soldiers.

One is for safety reasons, and the other is for the princes to discuss, it is not good to have a female dependent.

The courtyard of the house was almost full of martial law soldiers and horses, and in the council room, the maids and servants retreated from the front yard after serving food and wine, and no one was allowed to approach it again.

"Tomorrow we will make an alliance with the heavens, but we have to discuss some things tonight. The three armies were mobilized and hurried, and they didn't know how to deal with themselves. ”

"That's right, then everyone will come up with the charter."

"Do you want a leader? We have to have someone to command the Eight Marquis Alliance, right? ”

The lights were bright, and in the hall in the front yard of the Hou Mansion, as everyone sat down, Duan Jin, as the head of the family, opened his mouth first, followed by Haixing Hou, and by the way, he also glanced at Su Chen opposite, and finally Yongxing Hou followed to say his thoughts.

Although the eight have already reversed, they are too far away after all, and it is okay for each state to send troops at the same time, but to concentrate troops directly to the north, it is obvious that an alliance leader is needed.

In the room, you say everything to me, Su Chen is not conspicuous when he sits in the banquet, he is more than ten or twenty years younger than them, but the army is the strongest. This is clear to everyone, but it is naturally not very happy to obey someone younger than them.

After the words in the banquet stopped, Su Chen slowly spoke, saying what he had just thought.

"It's better to fight each other, I am in Rongzhou with Yun Yaohou, go directly north to the west of Yanzhou, beware of the border army of Yantang Pass at the same time, and advance east to Yanjing. Haixinghou went north along the coast, hit Wanghai County in Yanzhou, crossed Feiyungang, and then turned west. Marquis Chang, Marquis Hun, Marquis Yonghuai and General Zhong, the four troops went north out of Yuzhou and went straight to the south of Yanjing! ”

Su Chen's gaze swept over everyone in the banquet, all of them were Hou Ye, who had only recently started fighting, for such a proposal, it was actually not bad, there was no need to be restrained, it all depended on their own abilities.

They thought about it and nodded. Haixing Marquis Zhao Guangwei looked at him seriously: "But this also has drawbacks, the imperial court still has a lot of soldiers and horses in Gyeonggi, and the equipment is better than ours and other places. ”

"Look ahead, then you don't have to fight." Yun Yaohou put down his chopsticks, he was rude, and slapped the table heavily, "Join the troops in one place, there are many concerns, divide the troops and advance together, and I am afraid of being broken one by one, indecisive, it is better to lie at home, play more with women, enjoy enough, wait for the court to cut your neck!" ”

When he said this, he looked at Su Chen, and most of the people followed his line of sight and glanced at Su Chen. Zhong Ji, the confidant general of the Xianghou, pursed his lips and arched his hand to everyone: "I actually think that the general's suggestion is good, even if the road is broken, there are other ways to kill Yanzhou, and the capital is exposed to our troops, the emperor will be shocked and recall other soldiers and horses, and the frustrated Hou Lu, the pressure has plummeted, and he can still wave his troops to Yanjing." ”

The others were silent for a while, and then they all agreed to do so.

As for the interests, everyone tacitly did not put forward them at the moment, and on the bright side, there is just a glimpse of the eight characters at the moment, and it is easy to talk about the alliance when it comes to this content.

Everyone added some details, time, and route of the march, and only when it was almost time did they withdraw from the banquet and come out of the hall.

Marquis Chang Yu sent it to the gate of the mansion with a smile and said to everyone: "You really don't want to stay overnight? ”

He looked at the six marquis and the first general who walked back to the team, and pointed to the house.

"The house at home is comfortable, you have traveled a long way, you have worked the way, and the family has prepared a concubine, if you are not satisfied, I can also recruit a few Qinglou top brands to come over to relieve your fatigue."

"Haha, Xie Changqi is hospitable, forget those beautiful concubines, it's late at night, it's not like sending each other!" Marquis Yun arched his hand, said goodbye to Su Chen, who got into the carriage over there, and left with his soldiers first.

The rest of the people also arched their hands and scattered from different streets. Su Chen also arched his hand towards Duan Jin at the gate of the mansion, and sat back in the car, and Dian Wei, who was standing on the side, raised his hand: "Get out of the city!" ”

The wheels pressed against the ground and walked slowly, and the five hundred halberds stepped forward and quickly stepped forward to guard the carriage around.

……

It's two o'clock.

There were few lights in the city, and under the dark sky, figures stepped on the tiles and swept silently through the air. It seems that after looking at other places, I chose this street.

The crescent moon in the night sky is gradually obscured by black clouds.

On the long street, the wind whimpered and ran by, blowing the lanterns under the eaves of the street, squeaking and moaning.

The night cat's voice rang out in the darkness, and the distant procession turned the corner and headed this way.

The carriage shook slightly, and the curtain was lifted, the woman knelt and sat down, poured a cup of tea, and Su Chen picked up the teacup and put it to her lips to blow the heat dissipation.
