Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 638
In the light mist of dawn, Ju Tu walked slowly, holding the reins of the bay red horse, personally escorting Bao Si and A Xi, and slowly approaching Shuilong Pass.

"Your Majesty, General Juetu escorted the Empress Dowager Ping and the Empress to return safely!" Before the water dragon pass, the anxious Chuxiu was wearing armor and personally driving the royal horse to search around. Suddenly, the horse bell rang, and the beaming general dismounted excitedly. Report to the first revision.

"That's right!" Chuxiu regained his spirit immediately, swung his horsewhip himself, steered the BMW, and galloped to the team of excavators.

"Long live the king, I will greet the king!" At this time, Jue Tu and Cheng Rong's cavalry joined together to greet the smiling Chuxiu.

"Get up!" Chu Xiu ignored Ju Tu and Cheng Rong's salutes, and took two steps in three steps, and ran directly in front of the bay red horse that Baosi and Axi were riding. He rushed to catch Axi's bright wrist, and with a light force, he hugged Axi off the horse.

Axi happily snuggled into Chuxiu's arms, his face flushed with embarrassment, and he slightly annoyed at Chuxiu: "Your Majesty, there are so many people here, but Axi is fine."

"It's good that it's okay, one of you empress dowagers, one empress, has mobilized everyone!" Chuxiu pinched Axi's nose with a smile and said happily.

"Your Majesty, although this trip of this palace was extremely reckless, I still want to remind my majesty that it is too cruel to fortify the walls and clear the country, especially if the people burn their houses and evacuate. Some unruly troops took the opportunity to do evil and rob the people. What's the difference between Xirong bandits and soldiers? Your Majesty, protect the people and the king, we must try to reduce the losses of the people!" Bao Si frowned, looked at Chu Xiu seriously, and expressed her worries.

"Okay, what the Queen Mother said is right, I will definitely tighten up military discipline!" Chu Xiu nodded happily, and looked back at Cheng Rong and Qu Tu.

Everyone went back to Shuilongguan talking and laughing, suddenly someone entered the commander's mansion and handed over a letter from Xirong, Chuxiu opened it disapprovingly, it turned out to be a letter from Xirong to negotiate a peace, he suddenly became puzzled, and handed the letter to Asked Cheng Rong: "Cheng Aiqing, the fortification of the wall and the clearing of the country have just begun, and Xi Rong's attack on the city has not been frustrated. Why did they suddenly write a letter to seek peace? What kind of medicine are they selling?"

Cheng Rong read the letter carefully, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the Xirong army has more than [-] cavalry, and they are recharging their energy, but they suddenly propose a peace. If they don't have the will to fight, then there must be another conspiracy. The king must not take it lightly. Promise, what Yichen means is that it is better for us to agree to the peace talks, but we can delay the peace talks as long as we can, so that Xirong's food and grass are gradually exhausted, and they can only show their true colors!"

"Well, that's very kind!" Chuxiu said with great satisfaction.

Thirty days passed in a flash. Seeing that Chuxiu refused to go out of Shuilongguan to participate in the peace talks, Xirong became angry from embarrassment. From the next day, he built a ladder and used the cloud platforms around Shuilongguan to attack Shuilongguan. The sound of killing shook the sky, arrows rained like rain, flesh and blood flew across the water dragon pass, swords and swords were indistinguishable, and due to the successful excavation and Cheng Rongjian's wall clearing, a large amount of grain and grass were hoarded in the city, so the morale of the Zhou army was very high, and they attacked in one fell swoop. Back Xi Rong stormed and killed countless enemies.

Looking at the numerous corpses on the battlefield, the joyful Dug Tu couldn't help smiling heartily, and said to Cheng Rong beside him, "My lord, thanks to your ingenious plan, our army can now advance and retreat as well as defend, and the situation is very good!"

Cheng Rong looked at Qutu happily, and suddenly shook his head lightly and said, "Qutu, it's not the time to laugh yet, you see, the Yuntai, where the soldiers and horses of the Western Army are distributed in the direction of the gates of Shuilongguan, is the greatest threat to us. Stand firm, Xirong must think that our army is afraid of field battles, the moon is dark and the wind is high tonight, we dispatched cavalry, opened the door suddenly, and burned the Xirong Yuntai with torches, this is called dredging!"
