Pang Jing was furious, jumped up from the ground, almost hit the top of the tent, the chair fell to the side, and stretched out his hand to point at Zhang Ji, "You, what did you say? 100,000 cavalry war?"

Zhang Ji threw a helpless look at the Dragon King, as if the two had a tacit understanding, but the Central Plains people were bad boys who didn't understand the rules, and then waved his hand downward, "Don't worry, sit down and talk, the matter has come to this, let's discuss a way." ”

Pang Jing just thought that the changes in the Western Regions would not affect him, but he didn't expect Jinpeng Fort to stab him in the back, and the 100,000 cavalry naturally did not grow in the ground, but came from the North Court.

Pang Jing immediately found that he had overreacted, this was a three-way negotiation, exposing the bottom line too early was a stupid move, which would make the Dragon King fearless, so he laughed a few times, shook his head and said: "Haha, Biyucheng is really changeable, I can't keep up, in fact, there is nothing to discuss, tomorrow I will take 20,000 Central Plains troops to flee for my life, and when you are done tossing, I will come back." ”

Pang Jing looked down at the fallen chair, feeling deeply embarrassed, even more troublesome than the 100,000 cavalry who were approaching, he was so big, and he had never lifted anything by himself, occasionally encountered this situation, he had already had a personal entourage to do it, and he would not even let the master feel that the chair had fallen.

Zhang Ji and the Dragon King were both looking up at him, Pang Jing coughed twice, "It's too boring here, I'm going to go out, anyway, it's a matter between you, I can't control it, and I can't intervene, just wait for you to discuss the result and tell me." ”

After that, without waiting for the two to speak, Pang Jing stepped out of the tent and threw down the curtain heavily, shaking the entire tent because of it.

The guards and entourage stood in the distance, and when they saw the master coming out, someone immediately wanted to come over to serve, Pang Jing waved his hand without raising his head, he wanted to be quiet.

The Dragon King's guards were like immovable statues, and Pang Jing didn't treat them as living people, just pacing slowly in front of the tent.

When he first came to Biyu City, he was full of ambition, and things were very smooth for a while, but unconsciously, everything was out of control, not only did he fail to kill the Dragon King according to the princess's orders, but also lost the apparent allegiance of Jinpeng Castle, Luo Qikang's death was a major blow, thinking of this, Pang Jing still felt heartache, and the death of the old man Mu could not calm the exuberant anger at all.

Defeated, Pang Jing silently lamented, as soon as the 100,000 Beiting cavalry arrived, no matter who won or lost, the Central Plains' strategy in the Western Regions would be temporarily frustrated, and after returning to the Beijing Division, he could find a hundred reasons to excuse himself, but the credit and prestige he had once fantasized about had no relationship with him, and he became the incompetent imperial relative again.

He was wrong from the beginning, he thought, not only underestimated the Dragon King and the Dubu King, but also set too many goals, and after the death of his beloved, he became arrogant and mischievous, and made mistakes again and again, so that he gradually degenerated from the controller of the situation in Biyu City to a bystander.

Pang Jing reflected on himself in the group of guards, hoping to find a strategy to turn the tide, and occasionally looked up and saw the two people slowly approaching.

It was the maiden guard beside Chu Nanping and the Dragon King, Pang Jing allowed himself to go down a little, and once again sighed that there would be such a perfect appearance in the world, in contrast, the so-called first beauty Luo Ningcha in the Western Regions was just a grumpy and stupid shrew, fortunately, Chu Nanping was not his favorite type, so he avoided a possible sad incident.

Probably finding that the negotiations had not yet ended, Chu Nanping and the girl turned around and quickly disappeared into the night, Pang Jing suddenly remembered that it was not the girl who left with Chu Nanping before, but a small man who often followed the Dragon King.

Pang Jing couldn't remember the name of the little man, but he still remembered the desperate expression on the man's face when he left the tent, so he suddenly realized that the little man was dead, and he was killed by Chu Nanping and the girl adhering to the will of the Dragon King.

Pang Jing was stunned, ** swept the last trace of chill in the twilight spring season, in the past few days, Biyucheng has suffered countless deaths and injuries, some of which happened around him, I don't know why, he just empathizes with this time.

He made the final decision, thinking that something might be salvageable.

He returned to the tent and found that the chair was still in its place, so he stepped forward and helped him up, smiled and sat down carefully, "A good night, I hope I didn't interrupt the negotiation between the two of you." ”

"Will the huge man lead the army out of Biyu City tomorrow?" asked Zhang Ji.

"Haha, I'm not afraid of the two of you laughing, in fact, the protector of the Western Regions doesn't have so much power, and it is a very troublesome thing to mobilize the army, and it requires the consent of several generals of Loulan Kingdom, and when everything is arranged, 100,000 iron cavalry will probably seal the way. I'd better wait, maybe the two of you have reached a compromise and everything is too good. ”

The dragon king refused. Zhang Ji looked at Pang Jing indifferently, as if an experienced teacher was observing whether the students were cheating.

"I'm sorry, I'm out, what did the Dragon King refuse?" Pang Jing asked in surprise.

The Dragon King refused to retreat, saying that the Dragon Army, as the most important ally of the Lord of Biyu City, had the obligation to help Long Chuanyun defend against all foreign enemies. ”

There is a point in that. Pang Jing nodded in agreement, "The question is that 100,000 cavalry are the enemies of Biyu City?"

Gu Shenwei also noticed the change in Pang Jing, and this Central Plains nobleman quietly lowered his posture, as if he had changed a person, "No matter what, Long Chuanyun is the first city lord of Biyu City, so he naturally wants to take over Tongtian Pass and Qianqi Pass, as for the 100,000 cavalry that Mr. Zhang said, if you want to enter the pass, you are the enemy, and if you stop outside the pass, you are just cavalry." ”

"Doesn't this negotiation have anything to do with Tieshan and Dubu Wang?" Pang Jing was slightly surprised.

"The city lord of Tieshan has no right to intervene in what he did before, but after Long Chuanyun became the city lord, Tieshan plundered the Four Truths Garan, kidnapped the Dubu King, and wanted to break out of the Thousand Cavalry Pass, and the Dragon Army couldn't sit idly by. ”

The Dragon King used to be official, and it was not much worse than the old fritters in the Central Plains, Pang Jing couldn't help nodding, "It makes sense, all the actions of the Dragon King are within the power of the city lord." ”

Zhang Ji stood up, he had completed the task and achieved his goal, no longer need to listen to insincere clichés, "I'm going to leave first, the Dragon King is a reasonable person, and he will definitely allow the Jinpeng Army to pass through the Thousand Cavalry Pass." ”

Zhang Ji said with irony, because Qianqi Pass is still under the control of Jinpeng Castle at the moment, and he doesn't need the permission of the Dragon King to clear the customs.

Gu Shenwei also stood up and said formally: "Well, on behalf of the city lord of Biyu City, I will allow all the Jinpeng troops to pass through the Thousand Cavalry Pass, provided that they are not allowed to provoke **." ”

Zhang Ji nodded slightly, turned around to leave, Pang Jing didn't get up, and said, "I want to stay and talk to the Dragon King about something, Mr. Zhang won't have a misunderstanding, right?"

"Of course. Zhang Ji gave an ambiguous answer, walked out of the tent, and after a while, the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside.

Pang Jing sighed, "Zhang Ji is not here to negotiate, but to demonstrate." ”

Gu Shenwei sat down again, and sighed, Zhang Ji knew very well in his heart that the Dragon King would never let go of the Dubu King, and he knew that Jinpeng Castle was in a weak position at the moment, and if he didn't add a little bit of chips, he would soon lose cleanly, he wanted to stabilize the morale of the army, and wanted to restore the equal situation of the two kings competing for hegemony, so he showed Luo Luo's 100,000 cavalry in advance.

"I don't know what the Dragon King thinks, I think this matter is very simple, we will start a war tomorrow, and destroy the Jinpeng Army and Tieshan in one fell swoop. 100,000 cavalry were borrowed, and when the borrower was gone, they naturally retreated. Pang Jing came up with an idea.

"Doesn't the Central Plains want the two powers to stand side by side?"

"Time has changed, Jinpeng Castle openly colluded with Beiting, why does the Central Plains still support Dubu Wang?"

Gu Shenwei sneered in his heart, less than a year ago, Zhang Ji brought back the larger Beiting army, and he didn't see the Central Plains express anger at this, "The huge people are willing to join forces with the Dragon Army?"

"I can immediately give an order to transfer all the soldiers in the rear, 20,000 Central Plains troops, and the Dragon King can be dispatched at will. ”

Gu Shenwei pondered for a while, "The proposal of the huge man is very good, there is a problem, east of Tieshan until the Qianqi Pass, there is not a single soldier of the Dragon Army, let's start a war with the Jinpeng Army, Tieshan is frightened, and will flee all the way to the gate with the Dubu King, killing Zhang Ji but missing the Dubu King, it will not help." ”

"Iron Mountain is easy to convince, right?"

"I just don't want to take any chances. ”

Pang Jing smiled, the Dragon King was still as suspicious as before, trying to convince him to believe in himself, but it was not possible to succeed in a few words, "The Dragon King is worried that the 20,000 Central Plains army is not easy to control, right?"

"Since the huge person is clear, I don't need to pretend to be confused, I trust the Central Plains Army, I don't trust you. ”

Pang Jing nodded in acceptance, "This is as it should be, I am competing with the Dragon King for the Meng family's property, and I am burdened with the princess's secret order, as well as Luo Qikang's matter, the Dragon King really shouldn't trust me, but can I give an explanation?"

"Please. Gu Shenwei was a little curious.

"The Pang family is a big family in the Central Plains, my sister is the queen mother, my brother is a general who leans towards the government and the opposition, and my wife is the powerful Princess of Huaping. Pang Jing opened with an introduction to his family background, and then sighed, without the slightest smugness about his illustrious background, "But I'm nothing, I have dozens of false titles, and I won't bow him down when I walk with the prime minister of the dynasty, but I'm still nothing." What I say, some people listen to but no one takes it seriously, and everything I do, someone watches but it doesn't have any effect. I'm just a pampered pride and plaything. ”

Gu Shenwei didn't speak, he believed that in the eyes of the vast majority of people, Pang Jing really had no reason to complain, he was living the life that everyone expected.

"The trip to the Western Regions was an opportunity. Pang Jing didn't think about it so much, he just wanted to express his meaning clearly and completely, "I want to prove my ability, and I can only get real power after returning to the Central Plains, I need power, just like the Dragon King wants revenge, for this, I can give up the task of the princess, I can forget about Luo Qikang's murder, as for money, it has never been something I value." ”

"So you, like King Xiao, must defeat these 100,000 Beiting cavalry and achieve a military feat. ”

Pang Jing spread his hands, this is his decision, he wants to be frank as never before, in order to gain the trust of the Dragon King, this is the core of his entire plan, "The enemy of the Dragon King is not just the Dubu King, the source is in the Central Plains, the person who gave the order is the princess, maybe there are others, in order to show sincerity, I am willing to hand over the princess to the Dragon King, let the Dragon King take revenge." ”
