The junction of Ye and Song.

Outside Doan.

Chu Yujia stood at the front of the military formation and looked at the rear Song camp.

When the sentries of the Later Song Dynasty saw this army, they immediately went back to report it.

Not long after, there was a commotion in the Later Song military camp, and a foot army wearing bright silver armor came out of the barracks.

This infantry army is bright and bright, and it looks dazzling under the reflection of the sun.

Then, two war horses quickly rushed out of the ranks, and the two generals on the horse, both wearing light iron chain armor and white long tassels on their heads, unhurriedly restrained the war horses in the Ye country team less than fifty paces.

One of them raised his head and said, "I am Feng Yuankai, the general of the Later Song Palace, and I am the chief general who escorted Her Royal Highness the princess here this time." ”

The general, who was in his twenties, spoke with confidence and a voice as loud as a bell.

Chu Yujia nodded and said, "In that case, can General Feng let Her Royal Highness the princess's team go to the capital with me?"

Feng Yuankai frowned, looked at Chu Yujia, and asked, "Which one are you, and how many people have you brought?"

"Ye Guo, Lieutenant General, Chu Yujia. ”

Chu Yujia pointed behind him and said, "My soldiers and horses are all here, three thousand, one is not many, and one is not less. ”

"It turned out to be only a lieutenant general, and there were only 3,000 people. ”

After hearing what Chu Yujia said, Feng Yuankai sneered and said with a mocking face: "It seems that your Ye State really suffered a lot of losses when it was at war with the Qi State, so you can only send these 3,000 people to meet our Hou Song Mission, and you can't take our Hou Song Dynasty too seriously." ”

Obviously, Feng Yuankai had not heard of Chu Yujia's deeds, let alone the background of Chu Yujia who brought this army.

Chu Yujia didn't want to explain too much, so he chuckled and said: "To protect the safety of Her Royal Highness Princess Hou Song, I, the lieutenant general, are enough to lead three thousand men and horses, and although my Ye country has barren land, it also has simple folk customs, so I don't need so many soldiers and horses to escort it." ”

"But I do want to know one thing, I don't know if General Feng remembers that in the laws of the nations, the number of envoys entering the territory of other countries must not exceed 10,000, otherwise it will be punished as invasion. ”

Chu Yujia narrowed his eyes, and deliberately glanced at the big camp behind Feng Yuankai and said, "Now your Later Song mission has entered the territory of our Ye Kingdom for nearly fifty miles, but I look at the number of people in the embassy seems to be a little too much." ”

Hearing this, Feng Yuankai's complexion changed, and then he said: "This time the Song Mission is different from the past, there is Her Royal Highness the Princess of our country in the mission, so it is natural to send more troops to garrison it." ”

"Oh, I see. ”

Chu Yujia nodded and said, "Then now that I've arrived, can General Feng withdraw his troops?"

"Naturally, no. ”

Feng Yuankai didn't give an inch: "Her Royal Highness the princess going abroad is a big deal, no matter what the reason, we people have to be casual." ”

"No way. ”

Chu Yujia's head shook like a rattle, and said: "Since you are here to be a guest in my Ye country, you naturally have to abide by the rules of my Ye country, and today I will put my words here, and the only ones who can enter the territory of Ye country this time can only be the mission, and the number of people must not exceed eight hundred, otherwise where will you come from." ”

Hearing Chu Yujia's tough words, Feng Yuankai was not happy, and asked with a frown: "General Chu, what you said is a little hurtful." ”

"You've done all the things that hurt and anger, are you still afraid of hurting and angry?"

Chu Yujia tilted his head and said: "I have already said that, as long as I am here, as long as I am still the chief general of the mission, I will definitely not let you 20,000 people cross the border, if you have any opinions, you can go back and report to the King of Song, and let the king of my family punish me, but until then, you will stay here honestly." ”

The words fell, and Chu Yujia immediately added: "If you dare to take a step further during this period, I don't mind taking your head before the two countries go to war." ”

"You're too arrogant. ”

Feng Yuankai was completely enraged by Chu Yujia, and said coldly: "Once the two countries are at war, will it be good for your Ye country?"

"Absolutely. ”

Chu Yujia pouted at the soldiers behind Feng Yuankai, and said: "Look at you all with bright armor, to tell you the truth, I am very greedy, if my soldiers of Ye Kingdom can wear such iron armor, I am afraid that half of the people will die every year, if the people of my Ye Kingdom can live in the rich land of the Later Song Dynasty, half of the people will starve to death every year, do you think that the war between the two countries will be good for me?"

"Are you so sure that you Ye Guo can beat our Hou Song?"

Feng Yuankai sneered: "We, the generals of the Later Song Dynasty, also want to enjoy the scenery of the northwest." ”

"Really?"

Chu Yujia raised his eyebrows, slightly pinched the horse's belly, the war horse took a few steps forward, approaching Feng Yuankai, and when the two were less than ten steps apart, Chu Yujia raised his hand and touched the mane of the war horse, and the war horse stopped consciously.

Chu Yujia looked up at Feng Yuankai and said: "In the second national war of Ye and Qi, the Qi country dispatched a total of 250,000 troops, and 50,000 migrant workers were responsible for the logistics supply line, which can be said to be huge, but I used 3,500 horses to kill the palace of the Qi country, maybe in your eyes there is some suspicion of opportunism, but do you dare to make a bet with me, I am still these 3,500 people, and I can still hit Yongle City, the capital of the Song Dynasty after you?"

When the words fell, Chu Yujia only gave Feng Yuankai an ambiguous smile, and then urged the horse to leave, and the three thousand light horsemen also glanced back at Feng Yuankai, and then urged the horse to follow Chu Yujia behind and leave together.

When Chu Yujia left, the general beside Feng Yuankai said with anger on his face: "General Feng, this general Ye is too rampant, after returning to the capital, no matter what you do, I must report it truthfully, if the king sends troops to the Ye country, I will definitely be the pioneer of the city." ”

After glancing at the general, Feng Yuankai couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "He's really not rampant, he really has that strength." ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, the general was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "General Feng, why did you say this?"

"At first, I didn't react to who this person was, let alone what kind of soldier this was, and I didn't remember until he said the last thing to me. ”

Feng Yuankai turned his head to look at Chu Yujia's departing back and said: "Qi State and Ye State are facing each other, 250,000 troops, and 50,000 migrant workers are responsible for logistics supply lines. ”

"If the State of Qi can break through the Huling Pass, it will be a catastrophe for the State of Ye, and the State of Qi can be attacked and defended, but when the two armies were scorched, the Kingdom of Qi was suddenly breached, and Yan Kai, the king of Qi, was almost captured alive, resulting in the end of this war. ”

In the end, because Yan Kai, the king of Qi, was really afraid of that person, for fear that his head would still be on his neck today, and he would be on someone else's board tomorrow, so he chose to take the initiative to reduce his value against public opinion and negotiate peace with Ye Guo as a loser. ”

Feng Yuankai shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It is still under that person's proposition, and the Qi State has paid a large amount of gold, silver, cattle, sheep and horses to the Ye State, which can be described as a miserable one. ”

"General, I don't understand, what do you mean by saying this to me?"

"Hehe......"

Feng Yuankai turned his head to look at the general beside him and said, "Do you remember what this person's surname is?"

"His name is not Chu Yujia, isn't that his surname ......?"

This sentence, the general only said half of it, and he was immediately stunned, couldn't help but widen his eyes, looked at Feng Yuankai and said, "Could it be that this person is ......?"

"Yes, it is. ”

Feng Yuankai pursed his lips and said, "And these three thousand light horsemen are the three thousand people who survived in the Qi country at the beginning, have you seen it, if you don't say anything else, you can imagine how these three thousand people broke through the capital of Qi in the first place." ”

The general hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then what should we do?"

"What else can I do?"

Feng Yuankai said: "Ye Guo can send this person, it is enough to see that Ye Guo attaches great importance to my Later Song Dynasty, and this army is not comparable to the ordinary Ye State army, and it is also bigger than the pomp and circumstance of Ye Guo sending tens of thousands of people to welcome the mission, and the face can be said to have been enough, if we don't give in to this, with this person's personality, I am afraid that it will really make things stiff." ”

Indeed, judging from Chu Yujia's past, he and Yan Kai, the king of Qi, could be face-to-face at the beginning, not to mention that they were just a few generals of the Later Song Dynasty.

If the two countries are at war at that time, the two of them will have to bear the main responsibility, and that is not something they can afford.

But the general was still a little unconvinced: "But what he just said is too much, if we just let the princess bring someone over, won't he really be afraid of me?"

"We are not afraid of him, but is he afraid of us?"

Feng Yuankai rolled his eyes and said: "And this matter is true to our fault, without permission to lead troops into the territory of Ye State, indeed as he said, this is not allowed by the law of the princes, just listen to me in this matter, go back and report to Her Royal Highness the Princess, just say that the team of Ye Kingdom to greet the mission has arrived, don't mention anything else." ”

"In that case, then listen to you. ”

Although the general was still a little unconvinced, in this military trip to escort the princess, he was the deputy general after all, and he couldn't say anything.

On the second day, early in the morning, Feng Yuankai led a group of soldiers to escort the group to Du'an City, and restrained the war horse five hundred steps outside Du'an City.

Where Chu Yujia was waiting early, Feng Yuankai arched his hand at Chu Yujia and said, "General Chu, I have offended a lot before, please forgive me." ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

Chu Yujia waved his hand and said, "General Feng is also a person who understands the general situation, and Chu admires it." ”

"Since this is the case, I will lead the army to retreat to the territory of the Later Song Dynasty and wait, and see you in more than a month. ”

"I hope so. ”

As soon as the words fell, Feng Yuankai turned his horse's head, leaving only the carriage of the eldest princess of Hou Song and a group of entourages to lead the army to retreat.

It was only at this time that Chu Yujia saw clearly that the carriage that the eldest princess of the Later Song Dynasty was riding in was very huge, pulled by eight sturdy red and brown horses, the carriage was engraved with delicate patterns, and the doors and windows had curtains, so it was impossible to see the situation in the carriage clearly.

The knights guarding around the carriage were all female soldiers and generals, each riding a tall horse, wearing silver and delicate armor, looking heroic, just standing there became a beautiful sight.
