National color raw owl

The snow has not yet melted, and new snow is coming.

Liuqi was galloping in the snowflakes all over the sky, all wearing fur battle clothes, wearing a leather felt hat, and a machete pinned to his waist. Seeing a snow-covered mountain appearing in the distance, Liuqi's speed slowed down.

A tall man with a thick beard like a needle slowed down his horse, then turned around and shouted, "Is that Panlong Mountain?"

"That's right, that's Panlong Mountain, and the Northwest Army is stationed on the side of Panlong Mountain." A rider next to him stepped forward and said loudly: "The Tanma has been investigated, and the Northwest Army is stationed here."

Thick bearded man said: "That Chu... Hey, what's his name?"

"Chu Huan." The rider next to him said, "Teguzhe, are we really going to see that Chu Huan?"

"Why, you don't want to see him?" the thick-bearded man Te Guzhe raised his hand and stroked his thick beard.

The cavalryman said bitterly: "I can't wait to have his skin cramped. If it wasn't for their Northwest Army, why wouldn't Shuchitai and his thousands of brothers be able to return to the grassland?" Come on, after all, he has been in contact with the Northwest Army many times, and in the eyes of other barbarians, he knows more about the Northwest Army.

"So many people in your tribe died at their hands, no wonder you feel resentful." Te Guzhe said: "But this time we are not going to kill them, but as messengers, to persuade them."

"persuade?"

"The emperor of Qin sent people to throw Qu Lv down from the top of the city. It seems that they want to fight us to the end." Te Guzhe sneered and said, "Tush Khan has ordered that until the city of Wuping is destroyed, we will not be allowed to return. Grassland, we must take down the attached city of Wuping at all costs. However, the Northwest Army has sent troops to Hexi and controlled the Hexi Corridor. They can advance and retreat. It only takes three days for the cavalry to rush to the city of Wupingfu. Tu Shihan is not willing Let them influence our siege plans."

"Could it be that the Northwest Army will really help the Qin Army?" The cavalry asked suspiciously: "They are stationed here and have not marched. Do they not want to go there?"

"The Central Plains people are full of tricks, and the Northwest Army didn't take action easily, which doesn't mean they won't take action." Te Guzhe said: "After all, they have tens of thousands of troops. If they really want to fight there, it will be a big trouble."

"But... if we negotiate with them, won't we avenge our people?" The cavalryman was unwilling.

Te Guzhe laughed and said: "Why are you so anxious? After the city of Wuping is captured, the gold and silver treasures are in hand, and there is enough food, Tushi Khan may send troops to compete with the Northwest Army. Although the Northwest Army has a lot of troops , but compared with our grassland warriors, they are just a bunch of useless lambs." Then he said solemnly: "But now is not the time, people in the Central Plains often say that ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, Shulu, you don't have to worry."

The group of people went forward and traveled less than ten miles, when they found many cavalrymen appearing like ghosts behind them, adding up to no less than a hundred people, Shulu saw the armor of those cavalrymen, and said vigilantly: "Yes. ...the Northwest Cavalry!"

Te Guzhe was very calm and asked everyone to stop their horses. At this moment, the northwest cavalry had surrounded them. Before the northwest cavalry could speak, Te Guzhe had already said loudly: "Don't get me wrong, we are the envoys sent by Tushi Khan. I want to find you, the King of Chu, Tushi Khan has a gift for the King of Chu, we are friends, not enemies." His Central Plains words were very general, rather blunt, but at least they could be heard clearly, between the words , has already pointed to the back, and there are several horses carrying burdens, which are obviously the gifts he said.

Yiqi came forward slowly, with a thin face, but it was Qiao Yin.

Qiao Yin belongs to the Xishan Imperial Guard Army, which was originally under Wei Tianqing's command. This defender Tianqing defected to Chu Huan. Qiao Yin commanded the Xishan Imperial Guard Army and was incorporated by Feng Polu. When the two armies faced each other, Wei Tianqing entered the camp alone. , persuaded Qiao Yin, and turned against him. After the war, the Xishan Imperial Guard was incorporated by Chu Huan, and Qiao Yin became one of Chu Huan's generals.

Qiao Yin looked Teguzhe up and down, and said coldly: "Hand over the weapon first!"

Teguzhe hesitated for a moment, and immediately gave orders to his followers. The barbarian soldiers all looked displeased, but there were nearly a hundred cavalry around them, and they had entered the territory of the Northwest Army at this time, so they dared not disobey after all.

Qiao Yin ordered all the weapons to be confiscated, Te Guzhe was confiscated, and then said: "Can we go to see the King of Chu?"

Qiao Yin shook his head and said, "Blindfold yourself, and we will take you away."

Hearing this, Shu Lu said angrily: "You...!" As soon as the words came out, Qiao Yin had already drawn his sword in his hand, and said coldly: "If you want to see the King of Chu, you must follow the rules, otherwise This general can only execute you as barbarian spies on the spot, the king of Chu has an order, if you see barbarians, you will be killed without mercy!"

A group of Northwestern cavalrymen were also holding knives in their hands. They were all fierce and fierce, and they all stared at Te Guzhe and his group. Feeling terrified, the six barbarians, including Te Guzhe, all took cloth strips from their bodies and blindfolded themselves in desperation.

Soon, Qiao Yin took part of the cavalry and led Teguzhe and his party to march westward. Teguzhe couldn't see the surrounding scene clearly, but could only hear the cold wind whistling in his ears. After walking for a long time, he finally heard Qiao Yin said in a deep voice, "Here we are."

Te Guzhe didn't believe it. In his consciousness, Qiao Yin should take him to the barracks to meet Chu Huan. The barracks is an important place with a large number of people. He raised his hand and tore off the cloth strips covering his eyes, and immediately saw that he was really in a big camp, with tents stretching all around him, and he was already in the camp, his eyeballs rolled around, thinking Take this opportunity to observe the Northwest Army's large barracks, but there are layers of tents, blocking the view, and you can't see what's going on in the camp.

It's just that apart from the whistling of the cold wind, there was not even the slightest noise from the barracks, which was completely different from the barbarian barracks.

The entire battalion had tens of thousands of mercenaries, but it was eerily silent. This kind of atmosphere made Te Guzhe and the others even more nervous.

At this moment, a burly man in armor came up in front of him, Qiao Yin stepped forward and whispered a few words, the man glanced at Te Guzhe twice, his steps were calm, his eyes were stern, it was Chu Huan Qi Hong, the captain of the personal army, was by his side.

Qi Hong sized Teguzhe's eyes, but Teguzhe felt very uncomfortable being looked at by Qi Hong. Under Qi Hong's gaze, Teguzhe felt like a lamb staying behind. Slightly surprised, he coughed, stood up straight, and put his hands behind his back, to give himself some confidence.

"You, come here, follow me to see the King of Chu." Qi Hong raised his finger to Teguzhe, making Teguzhe feel like he was picking lambs in the sheepfold, "You guys, stay here." His tone was unquestionable, Without saying a word, he turned around and left.

Te Guzhe thought that Shulu knew a little bit about the Northwest Army, so he should take someone with him, so that if something goes wrong later, he would have someone to take care of him, and said loudly: "Wait a minute, can I take someone with me? "

"If you keep talking, get out now." Qi Hong said angrily.

Teguzhe was annoyed, but Shulu had already clenched his fists, but now that they were in Chu Huan's territory, although their tempers were hot, they didn't dare to explode at this time.

Te Guzhe followed behind Qi Hong and arrived in front of a large tent. Qi Hong opened the tent, and after entering, he came out quickly and said to Te Guzhe, "The king of Chu asked you to come in."

Te Guzhe thought that this Chu Huan was really not polite, he was the envoy sent by Tushi Khan anyway, he didn't even need to say "please". There are [-] to [-] elite cavalry who are good at fighting, and their strength can only be higher than that of Chu Huan. The strength of Tu Shihan is stronger than that of the King of Chu.

Te Guzhe was dissatisfied in his heart, and when he saw Chu Huan, he was even more disappointed. Of course, this was not because of Chu Huan's appearance, but because Chu Huan was sitting on a chair at this time, and his legs were even worse. On the small table next to it, when Teguzhe came in, Chu Huan was still holding a volume of books in his hand. Teguzhe saw that Chu Huan clearly heard his footsteps, but he didn't turn his head to look at him. Dissatisfied, he shouted loudly: "The Messenger of the Grassland, Te Guzhe, has met the King of Chu!"

Only then did Chu Huan raise his eyelids slightly, and when he saw Teguzhe, he looked him up and down, put the scroll on the side, and still did not put his feet down, he just said calmly, "Are you sent by Tushi?"

Te Guzhe was startled, thinking that the King of Chu already knew Tushi Khan, nodded and said, "That's right, King Chu, we Tushi Khan led an army of [-]...!"

Before he finished speaking, Chu Huan had already smiled and said: "A hundred thousand troops marched south, don't you have no soldiers and horses to guard the old nest in your barbarian grassland? You are looking at the emptiness of Hexi, so you grasp the weakness of Qin State, It’s just that you only see the shortcomings of others, but you don’t care about showing your own buttocks. Now that your army is empty on the grassland, aren’t you afraid that someone will attack your lair?”

Teguzhe was slightly startled, but Tushi Khan was able to choose him as an envoy from tens of thousands of barbarians. His psychological quality was naturally very strong, and he smiled reluctantly: "The king of Chu is joking, and all the young and old in my prairie are brave. Soldiers sent out 10 troops, and there are tens of thousands of people guarding the grasslands, no matter who wants to enter the grasslands, they can only seek their own death."

Chu Huan didn't argue with him, and asked, "You said that Tushi led a hundred thousand soldiers to the south, and he sent you here again. Could it be that he wants to hunt with the king in Hexi?"

Teguzhe heaved a sigh of relief when Chu Huan got straight to the point, and said, "King Chu, Tushi Khan sent me here to make friends with you. Tushi Khan appreciates King Chu very much. The Qin State is unpopular, and your Central Plains is full of swords and soldiers. Tushi Khan feels that the emperor of Qin State is no longer suitable to be the emperor of your Central Plains. He is willing to help you, destroy Qin State, and make you the master of the Central Plains... ., Tushi Khan's [-] troops are all warriors with one against ten, with the help of these one hundred thousand troops, the King of Chu...!"

Chu Huan interrupted again: "One is against ten. In this way, to deal with the barbarian army, it takes millions of troops? The emperor of Qin does not have so many people, so it seems that he will definitely be defeated." He sighed: "Even this king doesn't have millions of people under his command. If that's the case, why didn't Tu Shi lead your [-] army to sweep across the Central Plains? Wouldn't it be better for him to be the emperor himself?"
