"Xiqi?!, it's coming pretty fast. ”

Lu Chuan's eyes flashed, it seemed that he, the senior uncle, had also felt something.

Chonghou Hu said: "Your Excellency, Ben Hou will now order someone to mobilize a large army out of the city to meet the enemy. ”

"What's the hurry, now it's them beating us.

We have the city to hold on, and it is they who should be in a hurry, not us. ”

Lu Chuan said: "Chonghou, you first order people to close the gates of the Quartet and not open them, and then hang a no-war card on the city to tell them not to fight." ”

"No fighting?"

Chonghou Hu frowned and said: "My lord, I have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the headquarters of Chongcheng, plus Su Xian's nephew and General Zheng, I may not lose to them if I really fight." ”

"Chonghou, don't keep thinking about whether it's good to solve the problem by fighting and killing, don't forget, now Mrs. Zun and Miss are still in their hands. ”

Lu Chuan said speechlessly: "If the time comes, they invite Mrs. Zun and Miss out before the battle, will Chonghou fight this battle or not?"

"This"

Chonghou Hu was speechless.

Lu Chuan continued: "If they go even further and use Miss Madam to blackmail Chonghou to surrender, what choice should Chonghou make?"

Chonghou Hu scratched his head and stopped talking.

"Therefore, we still need to take a long-term view of this matter and discuss a complete solution. Lu Chuan said.

"It's up to the adults to decide!"

Chonghou Hu groaned for a while, and suddenly gritted his teeth and clenched his fists: "The safety of the lady and the little girl is all up to the adults." ”

Lu Chuan first rescued their father and son from danger, and broke the crisis with an understatement, capturing the second brother who wanted his life.

It was only at this time that he understood why Di Xin did not send elite soldiers to strengthen the future, but only sent such a civilian official.

Because this alone is worth thousands of troops.

"Chonghou, you are too polite, since this envoy is from the country, he will spare no effort to stabilize the situation in Beichong.

But there is one more important thing at the moment, that is, to have a meal first, and at the dinner, we will sum up the matter of saving Mrs. ”

Lu Chuan said: "Also, prepare a suit of armor and a good war horse for Uncle Su and General Zheng, after all, it is not appropriate to wear such shabby clothes when you are going to fight, in addition"

He turned to look at Chonghei Tiger and smiled.

"Bring the Black Tiger with you. ”

Outside the south gate of Chongcheng, three miles away.

Xiqi's 100,000 troops were assembled, and it looked like a torrent, waving flags, and the iron-blooded meaning of slaughter on the battlefield filled the frontal land.

In front of the strict army, Ji Chang stood on horseback and looked at Chongcheng in front of him.

On his left is Jiang Ziya, the prime minister of Xiqi, and on his right is Nangong Shi, the first general of Xiqi, and the two of them are now equivalent to Wen Taishi and Huang Feihu of Dashang.

Behind them are the four sages and eight horses of Xiqi.

"Lord Hou, Prime Minister, not long after the Hou of Beibo and Caozhou Hou entered, the gate of Chongcheng was closed. ”

The spies who stayed behind to observe the situation at the south gate came to report.

"Master Hou, most of the Chonghei Tiger has already had an accident. ”

Jiang Ziya looked at the city gate for a moment, shook his head, and said to Ji Chang.

"How so?"

Ji Chang frowned and said, "The plan of the Black Tiger Virtuous Brother can be said to have no flaws, how could Chonghou Hu find out?"

Chonghei Hu has sent his men to take his sister-in-law and niece out of the city first. ”

Jiang Ziya sighed: "If it has been successful, then the time has already come out, and now it has not come out, there must be something wrong in the middle." ”

"Change?"

Ji Chang's expression was solemn and silent.

"General Nangong!"

Jiang Ziya suddenly Nangong Shi said: "You go forward and call the formation to explore the reality." ”

Nangong Shi Nai is the first general in Xiqi, the force is the highest in the entire Xiqi, and he has also been included in the eighteen generals in the world.

"Yes!"

Standing on the other side of Ji Chang, wearing armor and holding a big sword, the heroic military general heard the words and stepped forward and came to the front of the city to call for battle.

"Uhhhhhh

Nangong Shi just shouted, and was about to call for a battle when he heard a bang.

The soldiers on the tower hung up a sign with the words 'Exemption from War' written on it.

"Battle-free card?!"

Nangong Shiyi, who was just about to speak, was suddenly suffocated by this brand.

He rode back like a fly with an ugly face.

"Prime Minister, they actually hung up the war-free card. "Nangong is not suitable.

A war-free card is a tool on the battlefield, which is a sign that one side is facing the other or asking for a truce.

It means that you don't want to fight today, and you can fight again at another date.

In Lu Chuan's words, this is equivalent to an unspoken rule on the battlefield, and many combatants will abide by it.

Of course, there are some people who are unwilling to comply.

In short, the listing is a matter here, and it is up to the opponent to decide whether to fight or not.

"Exempt from war, could it be that Chongcheng also has a master?"

Jiang Ziya's eyes moved, and he groaned.

In the past, Chongheihu's strategy failed, and then this war-free card came out, so he couldn't help but think too much.

No matter what Chonghou Hu says, he is also one of the four princes in the world, he is arrogant and arrogant and has a good face, how can he hang up the battle card and be a shrunken turtle that is ridiculed?

He had studied the father and son.

They are all irritable, they don't know how to use soldiers, and they can only fight a one-man sea of tactics, as long as someone calls for battle, it is absolutely unbearable.

But today they actually hung up a war-free card over there, which is a bit too abnormal.

"Prime Minister, what should I do?"

Nangong Shi asked.

He was very uncomfortable.

Before he came, he was ready to fight a big battle, but he encountered such a broken brand

"Don't care about the free card, continue to call the battle. ”

Jiang Ziya looked at Nangong Shi's eyes flashing, swept away the imposing army, and laughed loudly: "It's just a group of cowardly rabble, why can't you take it?"

"Yes!"

Nangong Shi was shocked after hearing this, shook his spirits, and came to the front of the army with a knife to call for battle.

"Prime Minister, Bei Chongdu has hung up the war exemption card, most likely he doesn't want to play anymore today. ”

Ji Chang came over and asked, "Why did you call General Nangong again?"

"The lord doesn't know that the most important thing in this way of using soldiers is morale. ”

Jiang Ziya said in a low voice: "This time, we are pouring out of the nest and our morale is flourishing, if we return in vain, I am afraid that it will affect the morale of the army."

Therefore, the minister asked General Nangong to call for battle, so that our army thought that Beichong was afraid of us and did not dare to fight, so that not only would the morale be weakened, but I was afraid that it would also rise sharply. ”

"Understood, the prime minister is clever. ”

Ji Chang was overjoyed after hearing this, and sat quietly and immediately looked at Nangong Shi.

It didn't take long to see a wooden pole erected on the tower of Chongcheng.

Then several soldiers took the black tiger and tied it to a wooden pole.

"What's the situation?"

Ji Chang and Jiang Ziya looked far away on their horses and found that there was movement on the tower of Chongcheng.

But three miles away was too far, and they couldn't see it very clearly, and even Jiang Ziya could only see a few vague shadows of people moving.

"Master Hou, Prime Minister, my lord was tied up on the city tower by the people of Beichong. ”

Suddenly, a panicked general in armor and helmet came to ask for an audience.

This person's name is Shen Gang, and he is a subordinate of Chongheihu, who sent him to arrest his sister-in-law and niece to Zhou Ying.

"Chonghei Tiger really missed. ”

Jiang Ziya shook his head, his eyes were more puzzled and confused.

Chonghei Tiger itself has good martial arts, and there are secret techniques taught by strangers, so even if you miss it, it's no problem to get out.

If he wants to leave, no one in the entire Beichong can stop him, how can he be caught?

"Phew!"

At this time, Nangong Shi rode over again, and dropped a three-inch short beard, a scribe in his thirties, from the horse.

"My lord, prime minister, this person said that he came to negotiate with us on behalf of the Northern Bohou. ”

"I've seen Xibohou, Prime Minister Jiang. ”

The scribe got up, patted the dirt off his body, and bowed.

Jiang Ziya glanced at the scribe, stared at him, and said condescendingly on the horse, "What do you want to talk about?"

"Quite simply, it's an exchange. ”

The scribe said, "Our lord wants to exchange the life of Chongheihu, who is ambitious to kill his brother, for his family. ”

"Black Tiger"

Jiang Ziya's eyes flashed after hearing this, and he drove his horse to Ji Chang to discuss in a low voice.

"Xibohou, you are the king of benevolence and righteousness, but you must not care about the life or death of my lord!"

Shen Gang was anxious, knelt down and said anxiously.
