Ji Han Liu Zhang

Wudu, Hechi.

Fa Zheng and Meng Da rode horses, escorted by a small group of knights, to the vicinity of Hechi County and inspected the defense situation in Hechi County. Now that they had captured most of Wudu County, they only had this in front of them. Zuohechi County has not yet come down.

But seeing that the Hechi County seat occupied by Di Wang Dou Mao was fully equipped with moats, urns, and turrets. The shape of the county seat was almost exactly the same as that of the Han family, and it was even better than some Han family counties with incomplete fortifications. One chip.

Fazheng took a quick look around Hechi County, then pointed at Hechi County with his whip and said to Meng Da beside him: "Zijing, in the past I thought that King Dou Mao of Di was nothing more than a barbarian. Since we have already captured the county government of Wudu, it will be easy for us to come here and capture Hechi. Although it is not easy to win, it should not take much effort..."

"Hiss." Fazheng's tone was slightly lower: "But looking at the defense of Hechi County today, you can tell that King Dou Mao of Di is not an ordinary barbarian. You see... the width of the moat in Hechi County is the width of Wudu County. It is not as good as debating under the jurisdiction of the county, and then there is the Wengcheng, how can any other city build an Wengcheng..."

"There are also several Wubao on the periphery, which are like fortresses and form a horn with Hechi County... If we attack Hechi County, the Di people in the Wubao will come out and harass our rear army. , but if we attack Wubao, the Di people from Hechi County may also attack our rear army."

Meng Da nodded and said helplessly: "This Hechi County is more like the county government of Wudu County than the county government... The Di people have been living together with me and other Han children since the beginning of the country. It seems that King Dou Mao of Di has learned a thing or two about our skills, and he should not take them lightly..."

"It's just that it's difficult to paint the bones of a tiger. Hechi County has a good style, but I don't know what Dou Maozhen's ability is." Meng Da half-squinted his eyes, with cold light sputtering in his eyes, staring straight at Hechi County, as if Hechi County will be swept away in the next moment.

Fazheng chuckled softly: "That's right. Animals are not that eager to learn how to walk like humans. No matter how beautiful and prosperous the outside is, if there is a mass of decay on the inside, it is nothing more than withered bones in a tomb... You have to try to attack. Let’s try the quality of Dou Mao.”

"We don't have much time." Here Fazheng raised his head and looked at the dark clouds as dark as lead silently rising in the distant sky. Soon the whole sky was dark gray, and the cold winter wind was howling in his ears. , it is impossible to say that a heavy snow will fall in the next second.

"We don't have much time." Meng Da followed Fazheng's gaze and noticed the change in the sky: "We have to capture Hechi County as soon as possible before the heavy snow falls. Otherwise, once the heavy snow falls, it will be difficult to attack the city. It’s inconvenient.”

"We can't put it off until next year." Meng Da frowned, his beautiful eyebrows bunched together, losing his original sense of beauty.

Fazheng withdrew his gaze to the sky. He twisted his gaze into a thin slit and slashed towards Hechi County like a sharp ring-headed knife. His tone was as cold as the wind in his ears: "Next year? How is it possible? Postponing it until next year, we must capture Hechi County before the end of the year..."

"This year has things to do this year, and next year has things to do next year. If we don't capture Hechi County this year, we won't be able to attack Guanzhong next year. Things in Hechi County cannot be delayed." Fa Zheng shook his head firmly: "Besides, let's talk about the end of the year. If we can't take Hechi County now, General Wu Zhonglang, you, and me will not be able to explain it to Duke Ming."

"Yes." Meng Da took a deep breath, as if there was a huge weight on his heart: "If we don't take Hechi, Ming Gong can't justify it. As wanderers in Guanzhong, we are all so procrastinating about returning home. , I can’t even explain it to my subordinates.”

"I will ask General Wu Zhonglang for orders in the future. In the battle of returning home, I will be the first to ascend. Even if I die at the top of the city in Hechi County, it will be enough." Meng Da's eyes were firm, staring at the top of the city in Hechi County. . Fazheng smiled and said: "Brother Zijing is so spirited, why worry about Hechi County not being conquered and King Dou Mao of Di not surrendering?"

"Let's go back to the camp and report the situation in Hechi County to General Wu Zhonglang... In the coming days, we will prepare for war and take over Hechi County in one go." Fa Zheng turned his horse's head and signaled to Meng Da to return to the barracks.

Meng Da nodded, turned the horse's head, and headed towards the camp with Fazheng.

When Fazheng and Mengda returned to the military camp and came to the outside of the Chinese army's tent, they were about to open the curtain and enter, but they heard a slightly doubtful question coming from inside: "So, you Aren’t you here to ask for surrender? But are you here to invite a fight?”

Hearing this, Fazheng withdrew his hand that opened the tent curtain. He looked questioningly at Wu Yi's personal guards outside the tent, and pointed a finger at the Chinese army's tent.

Wu Yi's personal guard standing outside the tent understood him. He lowered his voice and said, "He is the envoy of King Dou Mao of Di."

'What a coincidence, I didn't bump into this group of messengers. "Fazheng nodded with a smile. He and Meng Da had just walked around Hechi County to check, and they actually missed Dou Mao's envoy and did not hit him.

Now that Wu Yi was entertaining the envoy, Fazheng thought for a moment, then he stretched out his hand to signal Meng Da to come with him to the side of the tent and stand quietly, listening to what was going on in the tent. He did not interact with the envoy Dou Mao. Wu Yi can just let Wu Yi deal with his thoughts.

In the Chinese army's tent, envoy Dou Mao, who heard the commander Wu Yi asking him about the purpose of his trip, immediately responded: "My king is not asking for surrender, and he is not inviting the general to fight..."

Seeing Wu Yi's brows furrowed when he heard this, as if he was a little confused, envoy Dou Mao explained: "General, the land of rivers and ponds has been the residence of the Di people since ancient times. My king has lived here for a long time, and he and the general are wells." Without violating the river, the two families have no reason to fight, and there is no need to fight... Therefore, my king ordered me to come here, not to ask for surrender, nor to invite war, but to ask me to make peace with the general, and the two families to stop fighting. Isn’t it wonderful that the country is safe and the people are happy!”

When he said the words "Wouldn't it be beautiful if the country is safe and the people are happy?", Ambassador Dou Mao spread his hands with a humble smile on his face.

"Fuck you." Xu Meng, the captain who was attending the meeting, swore when he heard this: "Hechi belongs to Wudu, and Wudu is a county under the rule of my Han Dynasty. When did it become the ancestral land of you barbarians? Since ancient times. Now it’s your turn to speak…”

The school captain Xi Su mocked disdainfully, and he had a bad look on the barbarians who were ignorant of current affairs: "As the old saying goes, the whole world is not the land of the king, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers. The rivers and ponds undoubtedly belong to the Han. Your master Dou Mao is also a subject under my rule... You barbarians just don't study." (End of Chapter)
