32. Lobbyists arrived, and three were not conducive to lobbying the Chu army

The three armies parted ways, and Master Jing'an also divided the monks into three teams, and he himself set off with the Qi army, which was not much, only three thousand.

Mo Xian and Xie Cao'er set off with the Qi army, and the Daoxuan brothers followed behind Gongzi Rui, Mo Xian was very relaxed.

After all, today is not him and Xie Cao'er on duty, but Gongzirui did not let him go, Gongzirui experienced life and death last night, and was easily resolved by Mo Xian, and he didn't even get up.

Gongzi Rui seemed to have forgotten Mo Xian's disrespect to him, and kept talking to Mo Xian in the carriage, he experienced what happened last night, and finally understood, and began to want to establish his own power.

However, Mo Xian was not enthusiastic, he followed Gongzi Rui, on the one hand, it was the arrangement of Jing'an, on the other hand, he had no good impression of the Yama Palace at all, otherwise, he would have left a long time ago, even if he had the orders of the Immortal Sect, it would not be difficult for Mo Xian, after all, he would not be subject to the order of the monarch outside.

The Qi army is divided into cavalry, chariots and foot soldiers, chariots are ancient soldiers, chariots are used for charging, and have long been eliminated, but due to the existence of monks, chariots are used as a kind of vehicle, monks and Taoists and other monks stand on chariots and use spells to carry out long-range strikes.

The chariot soldiers are located in the middle, each car except for the emperor, there are only two people, less than a hundred vehicles, in addition to the outsiders, there are also warlock troops, they are the chariot system, which is cultivated by the vassal states, but the number is not large, after all, cultivators generally do not participate in secular hegemony, except for the cultivators who have no hope, these cultivators, as well as the people cultivated by various families, are full of warlocks.

Just like the vassal states of Qi, there are only a hundred warlocks, and when Mo Xian saw them for the first time, he was taken aback, thinking that they were disciples of a certain sect, and their cultivation was lower than that of Zhuji, but they were wearing soldiers' clothes, and when they inquired, they knew what was going on.

Three thousand soldiers and horses arrived at Pingyang, a small city on the border of Zheng State, which was a small city of five miles, but Zheng Guo had already prepared for it, and the Qi army set up camp.

At the same time, the other two routes of soldiers and horses also encountered obstacles, the general of the state of Chu Yi Wu soldiers to Yuanli, and Zheng an army across the river;

It was getting late, and a guest came to the tent of the Yi Yi Wu army, and it was not accurate to say that it was a guest, but a lobbyist of Zheng Guo.

When Zheng Hou Baili Cong sent troops with Chu, he already knew that he summoned all the doctors: "Qi, Sui, and Chu attack me, how to retreat from the enemy?"

Bo faint said: "Your Majesty, the three families can't be united, and the ministers think they can be divided." ”

"How?"

"Qi and Sui two families, each with Gongzi Rui and Zhi, each with its own strange goods, if I succeed, the two can even divide Zheng Guo, with Gongzi Rui and Zhi as puppets to rule, and Chu has no bargaining chips, the minister recommends one person to say that the army of Chu State. ”

"Who?"

"It is the minister's retainer Yizhen, who will definitely be able to retreat from the Chu State, and the Chu State will go, and the two countries will lose their arms, and the king will send another army, and the people of Zheng will fight to the death. ”

"Okay! According to what the Qing family said, but the widow still sent you to lead a thousand soldiers and horses to meet the Chu soldiers, as a backing for Yizhen, if you succeed this way, the remaining two roads will be easy to handle. ”

"Thank you. "He bowed his hand.

"What about the other two ways?" asked Zheng Hou Baili Cong, who glanced at the others.

"The minister is willing to lead an army to Pingyang to meet the Qi army. Duanmu said.

"How many soldiers do you want?"

"The minister only needs a thousand elite soldiers. ”

"Is it too little?" said Zheng Hou, "how do you defend against the enemy?"

"One thousand is enough! The ministers defend the city, even if the enemy has 10,000 people, they can't conquer it, the Qi army is on an expedition, if the Chu State retreats, then the Qi State will not last, it is difficult to defeat the enemy with a thousand, but it is not difficult to retreat from the enemy. Duanmu said.

"Okay! I'll see you retreat. Zheng Hou said happily, "Now there is the last way left, everyone, what other good ideas do you have?"

The ram came out and said, "Follow the country all the way, I will go." ”

"The Qing family is loyal, and the widow has long known it, but the Qing family is a civil servant, how can they lead the army?" Zheng Hou immediately shook his head and said.

"Your Majesty, the leader does not necessarily have to be a general, Wenchen has the benefits of Wenchen, and if he is not brave, he will not advance, I am good at defending and not good at attacking, blocking the soldiers and horses along the way with the country, be careful, if you are not at ease, you can choose a deputy general to go with me. Ram Quan said.

Zheng Hou hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "Then send General Huaxili and the doctor, Doctor Wenchen, there must be a unique method?!"

"There is no good way, only to improvise, as the saying goes, capture the thief first capture the king, my army guards the Shangshe Pass, send warriors to sneak into the enemy army, assassinate the enemy chieftain, success is better, even if it is not successful, it will not affect my army. Ram Quan said.

As soon as he said this, Duanmu Kin's eyes lit up and he fell into deep thought.

"It's a good improvisation, if you say this, I will rest assured, I will be dignified and Zhengguo, let the world see, even if the world is my enemy, what am I afraid of. Zheng Hou was also arrogant.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, everyone went to prepare, and Zheng Hou Baili Cong asked Bai Wuchang next to him: "Soul Hook Envoy, are the manpower of our Yama Hall ready?"

"Lord, get ready, I will personally take the eighteen ghosts to Pingyang, and ten people are the masters of the eight heavenly dragons, so that Baili Rui will die in the army; Bai Wuchang said.

"Don't worry, Xiao Ming Wang Ranyue is still in my country, I will invite him, this face will always be given. Zheng Hou Baili Cong laughed, "It's Baili Ming, last time in the Guhua Temple, Bo fainted and carefully checked the body, but he was not in the temple, where did he go?"

"In this way, all three roads are stable. Bai Wuchang said happily.

"There is one more thing, the Son of Heaven will send someone to mediate the dispute between us. "Bari Cong said one more thing.

Bai Wuchang's eyes lit up: "This is great, the development of the situation is completely beneficial to us, why does Daan Tianzi think of being a middleman, it's not that Daan Tianzi can't control the affairs of the princes?"

"Shufei Liji is our person, she is being favored, the Netherworld Sect Master instructed her, blowing the wind on the pillow, Emperor Yuding can't stand her excitement, and wants to meddle in the affairs of the vassal states, so he sent Xiangguo Concubine to mediate, although he can't manage the affairs of the princes, but he is the Son of Heaven after all, Emperor Yuding has a lot of ambitions, and he wants to show the glory of Taizu, but not in terms of ability. As long as there is a stalemate between us, the royal family will come and there will be a place for us. Bai Li Cong smiled faintly.

In Yuanli, Yi Zhen went to see the general of the Chu State, Meng Yiwu, who knew that he was coming to be a lobbyist, and ordered his subordinates to set up a fire in the big tent, and in a big ding, the water was boiling and tumbling.

Yi Zhen raised his head and entered, and he sat high on the handsome seat, his face gloomy.

"Who's coming?" said Ichigo.

Yi Zhen didn't seem to see Da Ding, his face was as usual, and he arched his hand: "Cao Min Yi Zhen has seen the general, dare to ask the general, why did you lead the army into our territory?"

"My country raises volunteers, helps the weak, punishes the unreasonable, Zheng Guojun kills his son-in-law and drives his brothers, I am here for justice! As a Zheng Guoren, you actually dare to be a lobbyist, don't you see the boiling water in the big ding under the hall? "Yi Yi Wu stared at Yi Zhen.

Yi Zhen laughed: "I heard that the general is a hero of the world, and when I saw it today, I was greatly disappointed, is the general afraid that I am a grass citizen?"

Qi Yiwu's face sank, and he smiled angrily: "I am a dignified general of the Chu State, how can I be afraid of you!"

"Don't be afraid of me, what is in the hall, you are not afraid that I will move you, if it is a righteous thing, are you afraid of people saying it. A sneer tugged at the corner of his mouth, and he looked directly at Yi Wu.

Yi Wu was a little embarrassed, but he quickly smiled: "I'll try the guts of the gentleman, come here, and remove the ding." Sir, you may be seated. ”

A soldier stepped forward and withdrew Dading.

"Thank you, General, I came this time for the Chu State, not for the Zheng State, I dare to ask the general, is the Chu State adjacent to the Zheng State?"

"Everyone in the world knows that the state of Chu and the state of Zheng do not border. ”

"Is there a prince of Zheng Guo in Chu?"

"Nope. ”

"The general is here, but in the name?"

"Yes, there is no way to cut down, help the weak, and it should be the voice of the Chu State. Yi Yi said.

"The country does not border, Zheng Guo is gone, there is no benefit to Chu, only to strengthen Qi Sui, Chu State Labor Division Expedition, Cao Chen small country, only Chu State is the head of the horse, if there is no interest, Cao Chen and other countries although they dare not say it, I am afraid that they will complain in their hearts, and even in the future and Chu State have a gap heart, fall to Qi Sui and other countries, this is a disadvantage; , will fall into a long-term war, a long time, contradictions are numerous, this is three disadvantages.

I couldn't bear the general to come, and in the end I ended up losing my master, so I was the general's plan. Yi Zhen lobbied Yi Yi Wu from several aspects, and Yi Yi Wu heard Yi Zhen say this and fell into deep thought.

A soldier came in and whispered in his ear that the Zheng army in Yuanli had begun to increase its troops, estimated according to the tents and lights. At least three or four thousand.

This is the strategy agreed between Yi Zhen and Bo Duan, Yuanli originally had a thousand men and horses, and Bo Duan brought another thousand soldiers and horses, but Bo Duan bluffed, using a large number of empty tents and lamps to create the illusion of three or four thousand men and horses, helping Yi Zhen behind his back.

Even if Yi Zhen lobbied Yi Wu, he still needed strength, and Bo Xuan did this to prove that Yi Zhen's words were credible, and Zheng Guo was all as one.

On the one hand, the state of Chu is an important force in the Qi Sui coalition army, able to be autonomous, and more importantly, in Yi Zhen's words, in terms of profit, name, or Zheng Guo's determination to resist, so that Qi Yiwu has to think about it, once he considers himself, then the situation is immediately self-evident.

Yi Zhen used his three-inch tongue to lobby the Chu army, and among the three-way soldiers and horses, the Chu State withdrew its troops.
