The Tang army immediately rushed out and lined up thousands of archers on the mountain road, while several generals shouted at the people to stop. The Han army only rushed down less than 100 people, and stopped fifty meters away from the Tang army camp, a young general in red helmet and red armor held a spear in his hand, a red horse in his crotch, slowly walked forward more than 20 meters, looked at Xiao Han and shouted: "The young general is the new staff officer of the Tang Army?"

Xiao Han almost scolded, "Wu Na" you fuck you, I will change my surname if I don't want your life today. Xiao Han was secretly ruthless in his heart, and immediately stepped on the war horse, Murong Qiuyu followed on the horse, turned to Li Yueying and Chai Xinyue and said, "Sister take Miss Chai back first, and my eldest brother and I will meet him." ”

An adjutant general shouted for battle: "The last general is willing to kill this guy." Xiao Han waved his hand and shook his head and said, "No need, look at the chief of staff." The generals followed him straight forward, and the young general of the Han army did not stop at a distance of twenty meters.

Xiao Han saw that the young general was only about twenty years old, tall and strong, holding a bright silver spear, with fierce eyebrows, and a pair of triangular eyes like a wolf looking up and down.

Xiao Han sat on the horse and said with a smile on his face: "May I ask the surname of the general?" The young general saw that Xiao Han was a young man who looked like a white-faced scholar, and his contempt rose, and he shook the spear in his hand and said: "The general is the Han striker, the general Pan Lang, and the deputy general Zhao Yanrang under the general." Then he pointed the spear in his hand at Xiao Han and said, "You are Xiao Han, the new staff officer of the Tang Army?"

Xiao Han didn't see his rudeness, Murong Qiuyu's face was also pale, but dozens of Tang Army generals behind him showed a look of indignation on their faces. Originally, the momentum of the Tang army was like a rainbow, and the Han army couldn't raise its head, since Pan Lao Thief led the troops, he adopted the strategy of waiting for work at ease, and pressed Du Zhen's 400,000 Tang army to the death under the Dayu Ridge.

Xiao Han was still smiling, and he arched his hand towards Zhao Yanrang and said: "It is Xiao Han, the chief of staff of the Tang Army, I don't know if the general is challenging today, does he want to see the chief of staff or is he interested in learning martial arts with my Tang Army general?"

Zhao Yanrang stared at him coldly and said: "Your Tang army has violated my Han realm for no reason, fortunately, my Han has the blessing of God, the old general Pan is brave, let Er and the clown who jump off the beam have nowhere to hide, today the general came to order you to retreat as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late when my Han army arrives, enter Jinling City, and capture Li Congshan alive." ”

These words almost blew up the lungs of all the generals of the Southern Tang Dynasty, but Xiao Han didn't speak, and no one dared to interject at will, which shows that the military discipline is strict. Xiao Han's face changed slightly, he exhaled lightly, and a kind and moving smile still appeared on his face: "The chief of staff was ordered to come to the front line to supervise the army, because he received information from the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin intends to use troops against our Tang Dynasty, and the emperor intends to cease war with the Han army, and specially sent me as the chief of staff of the three armies to negotiate with your army, I wonder if General Zhao can report on his behalf?"

Zhao Yanrang was stunned for a moment and said: "Is this true?" Xiao Han said: "As the chief of staff of the three armies, how can this general tell a lie if he commands 400,000 soldiers and horses?" The generals of the Tang army looked at each other, and no one could have imagined that Xiao Han would actually take the initiative to sue for peace in front of the battle, and they were a little dumbfounded for a while.

If Zhao Yanrang knew about Xiao Han's past, he would naturally not take his words seriously. However, in front of the two armies, Xiao Han was also the chief of staff, how could he go back on his word and make people laugh? Zhao Yanrang hesitated for a moment and said, "What you said is true?" Xiao Han said with a serious face: "Naturally, take it seriously." Our 400,000-strong army was delayed for dozens of days in Da Yuling, and the Han army was victorious, and if the stalemate continued, both sides would lose and lose, which might not be a good thing for both the Tang and Han sides. If the Han and Tang dynasties continue to stalemate, the Zhao clan will take the opportunity to send troops to annex Wuyue in the southeast, and with the combat strength of the Tang army, the Song army will inevitably not win, and they will turn around and attack the Han in the south, and then the Han will either die in the hands of the Tang or in the hands of the Song, wouldn't it be in vain for people to pick up the cheap?"

This is purely a fallacy, as long as a sober person can quickly find the error in Xiao Han's words. That is, if Zhao and Song sent troops to annex Wu Yue, the Tang army would definitely not agree, the two sides fought a war, and it happened to be cheaper than the Han Dynasty, how could it be as Xiao Han said that he would either die in Tang or Song?

It's a pity that Zhao Yanrang is a rough person, and when he heard this, he thought about it: "There is a point of truth in what Staff Officer Xiao said, do you Tang Jun really have the heart to discuss peace?" Xiao Han nodded solemnly and said: "Exactly, this general has always been a promise, and this time the peace is also the meaning of my emperor, please General Pan return to your emperor, as long as the Han agrees to make peace, my Tang Dynasty will immediately withdraw from the army, and will send a lot of money and goods to thank you." ”

Seeing that Zhao Yanrang had already believed three points in his eyes, Xiao Han continued: "In order to show sincerity, the general has prepared 100 heads of cattle and 100 stones of grain to reward all the Han army brothers first. General Zhao then asked him to go back and tell General Pan Lang Pan that as long as he agreed, he would immediately take twenty of his brothers to the labor army in person. ”

Zhao Yanrang was completely stunned by Xiao Han, in fact, the reason why the Han army camped on the mountain was also miserable, they had already learned the combat power of the Tang army, and the Han army was not at all a grade compared to it. If it weren't for Pan Chongche's strategy of being honest and waiting for work during the Warring States Period and not being able to confront him, and the elephant soldiers beat the Tang army unprepared, this would have reluctantly formed the current situation.

In fact, the Han army is also pessimistic, the Tang army of 400,000 people pressed the border, I heard that there are also soldiers in Hunan are gathering, if it blooms everywhere, there will always be a day when it will be broken. Now that Xiao Han has taken the initiative to seek peace, it is really good news for the Han army.

After Zhao Yanrang thought about it, he looked at Xiao Han for a few minutes. Xiao Han had an extremely humble smile on his face, trying to show endless sincerity. Zhao Yanrang finally turned his head to Xiao Han and said, "I'll go back and tell you, please wait a moment for Chief of Staff Xiao." ”

Seeing the Han army beating his horse and leaving, Xiao Han slowly exhaled a breath, turned his head to Murong Qiuyu with an indifferent face and said, "It's done." Murong Qiuyu said lightly: "Can you cross the ridge today?" Xiao Han nodded and said: "At least you can occupy the commanding heights of the ridge, as long as you attack the top of the mountain and transpose the attack and defense, with the combat strength of our Tang army, I will tear the hole and rush to Xiongzhou." ”

Murong Qiuyu nodded slightly and said, "What about those elephant soldiers?" Xiao Han laughed and said, "No matter how powerful an elephant is, to put it bluntly, it is just a group of animals, compared to the twelve fierce cows, horses, snakes and monkeys?"

The two were talking, and they saw Guo Ran and Yan Ze each leading people and things back, and the quartermaster envoy Fang Shiting followed to report that everything was ready to stop.

Xiao Han looked at the more than twenty blacksmiths behind Guo Ran and said, "You help me make a gadget, I'm going to use it soon." Then he asked for a pen and paper, drew a picture and handed it to them. Those blacksmiths took it in their hands and looked at it again, and they all looked blank, not knowing what Xiao Han meant.

Xiao Han sighed and called more than 20 people to one place to tell alone. After more than ten minutes, the blacksmiths dispersed in a hurry and rushed straight to the craftsmen in the army to build a furnace.

Zhuang Tianyou brought more than twenty Wudang disciples over, and these people knew that they were going to the front line, and they were all very excited. Xiao Han called them together alone and said the battle plan, everyone heard that he led the team, a lot of peace of mind, everyone was gearing up, eager to rush forward immediately, seeing that the Tang soldiers were dumbfounded, I don't know how these so-called Jianghu people can be so belligerent.

A hundred cows were gathered in a barracks, and each cow had two large pockets on its left and right, which naturally contained grain. Xiao Han ordered Fang Shiting to pour out a small part of the grain in each pocket for later use, soak all the oxtails in lamp oil, and put all the four hundred fire thunders into his pocket.

Hundreds of meters of leads strung all the fire and thunder together in a series of ways, and the twenty Wudang disciples were each responsible for guarding the five oxen, just waiting for the secret weapon to be ready and set off.

When they got here, Guo Ran and Yan Ze also saw what Xiao Han wanted to do. Guo Ran said with a smile: "Chief of Staff Xiao, do you want to play Tiandan's Fire Bull Formation during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?" Xiao Han shook his head and said: "The Fire Bull Formation is too old-fashioned, this chief of staff will give him an innovative way to play, you just need to be responsible for watching the battle." Then he said to Yan Ze: "Go back and tell Marshal Du, and when I rush up the mountain, everything will go according to plan." ”

Yan Ze won the pioneer and was very grateful to Xiao Han, so he immediately responded and left. Li Yueying and Chai Xinyue turned back again, and when they heard Xiao Han say the battle plan, Li Yueying was very interested and asked for battle again and again.

At the same time, Zhao Yanrang had told Pan Lang, the general in the big tent on the top of the mountain, the news of the Southern Tang Dynasty's peace, and Pan Lang didn't know whether it was true or not, so he immediately sent someone to report to Pan Chongche under the mountain.

Pan Chongche was shocked and immediately sent someone to inform Pan Lang not to be fooled. Nanhan also has intelligence officers, and he already knows the details of Xiao Han, and even knows everything about his killing of the Wuji Gang. Pan Chongche knew that Xiao Han was cunning, and was afraid that Pan Lang would be deceived by one accident, so he immediately led several of his generals to come in person.

Pan Lang welcomed him into the tent on the top of the mountain, and after hearing Zhao Yanrang's report again, Pan Chongche frowned and pondered for a moment before suddenly laughing and laughing: "This thief should die here, Zhao Yanrang immediately went down to inform the Tang Army, Marshal Ben agreed to negotiate peace, but asked Xiao Han to personally bring someone to meet with Ben Shuai, if he didn't agree, Ben Shuai immediately ordered the three armies to capture the mountain." ”

Pan Lang nodded and smiled: "We will do what we want, as long as this thief comes, we will immediately detain him and force the Tang army to retreat." Xiao Han is the princess's husband and Li Congshan's brother-in-law, and when he heard that Li Yueying was extremely rude, he naturally forced Li Congshan to withdraw from the army and compensate. ”

Pan Chongche stroked the long beard under his chin and said: "This thief is quite cunning and shameless, and wants to delay time under the guise of peace and words. Pan Lang and a group of generals even boasted about their good plans, but only coaxed an old man to be excited, and he was very proud.

However, Pan Chongche was able to resist the 400,000 people of the Tang army with more than 100,000 people, and he had his own outstanding points. Just in case, the Han army sent 3,000 elite ambushes in the recesses of the mountain, and ambushed several elite crossbowmen in the dark, and the big tent also ambushed knife and axe men. Pan Lang's personal soldiers were all replaced by Pan Chongche's generals, and it was best if they could be captured on the spot, and if they couldn't, they would be killed on the spot.

After the Han army was ready to stop, Zhao Yanrang had already returned again, and said happily: "Xiao Han has agreed to come to the labor army to negotiate, and he is preparing the labor army items at this time, and he will come in half an hour." ”
