The general who led the army was very skilled. He used four swords and one spear to stab at the place where the sound came from. The tip of the sword tore through the tent, but where was anyone seen? The five people were in shock and surprise when they heard a voice coming from behind: "General, I'm offended!"
Bolu Jisan, Chi Doha and the other five people hurriedly turned back, only to see that Chi Hedan had been restrained: a young man held a short blade against his throat, and with a little force, he could be killed.
"Who are you? How dare you break into our Shatuo army camp at night! Let go of the general, or we will chop you into pieces with our swords!" Bolu Ji pointed at Mei Yuanchen with three swords and scolded him in a deep voice. road. Chihedan was the general of the Eastern Expedition. Once he died, the consequences would be disastrous.
Chi Doha was also anxious and said angrily: "Let go of the general! Otherwise, you will never get out of this camp alive!"
Mei Yuanchen was also quite upset at this time, but since he had sneaked into the Shatuo Camp tonight, he was naturally prepared to die. All he could think about at this time was to keep Suzhou City safe and his father safe no matter what. After listening to Chi Doha's words, he sobered up a lot, and said coldly: "Since I dare to come here, I have no intention of getting out alive. Huh, your general is in my hands. I want to kill him, so to speak. Easy as pie."
These words hit the weak point of the five people, and they were in a dilemma. Chihedan took advantage of the gap and said quickly: "What are you waiting for? Kill him! I'm dead, and Boruji San will take my place for the time being!" As soon as these words came out, the four of them looked at Boru Jisan with eyes. There was obvious dissatisfaction in all of them.
"General, we only recognize you, Chi Hedan, and I, Chi Doha, will never obey your orders!" Chi Doha said coldly, "Let go of our general!" The latter sentence was naturally addressed to Mei Yuanchen. Yes.
Another general, Puxi Jitai, also said: "Chihedan, you are the general personally appointed by the emperor, so we will naturally follow your military orders. Although Poruchisan was of noble origin, his military qualifications were far from sufficient, so he The four of us are submissive to him, so how can the tens of thousands of people below submit to him?" Polu Jisan's family is a prominent Shatuo family, and his eldest sister Polu Adele married Pu Bayin fifteen years ago. Became Queen Shatuo. However, the military always pays attention to qualifications. Boluji was only thirty-three years old in his third year and had only been in the army for seven or eight years. It was really difficult to convince these Shatuo generals.
Mei Yuanchen didn't want to hear any more from them, so he lightly cut Chihedan's neck with a short blade, and a bloodstain appeared immediately. He said in a cold voice: "If you talk more, I will cut deeper." Seeing that they were already gone. After calming down, Mei Yuanchen said to Chi Hedan again: "General, the situation has forced us, don't blame us!" Seeing that he just snorted coldly and said nothing, he continued: "I came here not to assassinate you. "
"If you didn't come to assassinate this general, why would you threaten me with swords and soldiers?" Chi Hedan said angrily.
Mei Yuanchen was stunned and replied: "If I don't force you with a short blade, how can you listen to me? I'm afraid that if you shout loudly, thousands of guards will be summoned to capture me."
"Do you think you can run away?" Chi Hedan replied coldly.
"I may not be able to escape, and I have no intention of leaving alive. But with my skills, I can still do it by killing all six of you!" Mei Yuanchen thought for a moment and replied seriously.
Everyone in the tent was a well-known general in Shatuo. When Chihedan heard that he actually said that he could kill all six of them, he couldn't help but take a breath and didn't dare to provoke him for a while. Chi Hedan was silent, but Li Donghuai, who was under his tent, spoke up: "What a shame!" His words were full of anger, hatred and disdain.
"Are you serious?" Mei Yuanchen walked from Chi Hedan to him before finishing a sentence, lightly scratched his face with a short blade, then returned behind Chi Hedan and blocked it with a short blade. He throat. All this happened in the blink of an eye.
Chi Hedan suddenly felt that the short blade at his neck had moved away. He was about to turn around and move away. As soon as he took a step, the short blade was pressed against his neck again.
Li Donghuai felt a figure rushing towards him quickly, and suddenly his face went cold, as if blood was dripping from his face. At this time, his sword was only half drawn out.
The rest of the people saw that the young man turned into a shadow in an instant, let go of Chi Hedan and walked towards Li Donghuai. They were about to protect Chi Hedan, but when they didn't want to move forward, the general was restrained by him again.
"This young man's martial arts has reached such a superb level!" All six of them couldn't help but think.
It's not that Mei Yuanchen's martial arts skills have truly reached a state of perfection, but that he just performed the unique skill of the longevity skill "Twenty-Three Fighting Turns and Diagonal Steps". Since the two meridians of Ren and Du were opened, Mei Yuanchen has only felt that his practice progress has become faster than before, especially the "Twenty-three Dou Zhuan and Slant Steps". With the deep internal strength as the foundation, his progress is even faster. At this time, he had nearly mastered this movement technique to a small level, and he was in the realm between the spiritual realm and the treacherous realm. In front of these six heavily armored generals, he was naturally able to come and go with ease. "How's it going? Do you still think I'm tricking you?" Mei Yuanchen looked at them and said coldly.
Chi Hedan still had the idea of taking the opportunity to escape before, but he no longer dared to think so. He breathed heavily and scolded: "Why don't you let me go, general? Since you can control me at any time, why bother to use a knife?" Offset? Is it possible that you just want to talk to me like this?"
When Mei Yuanchen heard this, it seemed to make sense, and he said: "General, I can let you go. But please respect yourself and don't recruit other soldiers. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to die together with you in this tent." It's gone." Although he believed that his martial arts and physical skills were not weak, if a large group of soldiers came to kill him, he was determined not to leave alive, so he made it clear to Chi Hedan first. After saying that, he slowly removed the short blade from his neck, released his grip on him, and apologized: "I'm sorry!"
Chi Hedan has been a general for more than 20 years and has never been in such a mess as he is today. Moreover, his embarrassment was seen by several subordinates, and he was really angry. At this time, he was freed from Mei Yuanchen's hold, and sat down on the low stool, took the wine glass, and downed the wine in one gulp.
"Tell me, what brings you here?" Chihedan put the wine glass heavily on the case and asked loudly.
Mei Yuanchen remembered that he had important things to do, and did not bother to apologize any more. He held his hand and replied: "My dear, Mei Yuanchen, is the son of Mei Siyuan, Secretary of the Salt Transportation Department of Dahua Anxian. He works with his father to help defend Suzhou City."
Chi Hedan and Bolu Ji were both shocked. They looked at Mei Yuanchen with complicated expressions, as if they were saying: "Oh, what a pair of tiger generals and tiger cubs! How can they be from the enemy country?"
Seeing that they didn't answer for a while, Mei Yuanchen continued: "I'm sneaking into the Shatuo camp at night just for one thing. I'm asking the general to plan for the soldiers of the two countries and lead the troops back to Shatuo territory!" Several people in the tent had expected it at first! Mei Yuanchen came to assassinate his own general, but he gradually guessed that he was probably here to persuade him to retreat, so he was not very surprised at this time. The six of us looked at me, and I looked at you, as if we were in a trance.
Mei Yuanchen had heard their discussion before and knew that Bolu Jisan had wanted to retreat. At this time, he continued: "We came from the wounded barracks on the next road. Wherever we went, the soldiers groaned and cried. Absolutely, it's really miserable." None of these people expected that he would sympathize with his own soldiers when the two sides were fighting.
"Several of my senior brothers and nephews were also killed or injured in today's battle. Many of my relatives and friends are also suffering from serious injuries, which is no different from the wounded soldiers in the army." Mei Yuanchen's words were true. , everyone was very affected by what they heard, and they heard him say again: "These people didn't have to die or get hurt. They could have stayed with their parents, wives and children, chatting and amusing themselves, instead of leaving their corpses in the wilderness. , lying on the hospital bed struggling to survive! General, do you know?" At this time, he could no longer hold back his sadness and shed tears.
When Chihedan was asked, he felt that someone was grabbing at his heart. He couldn't help but ask himself: "Am I really the one who caused these people to die or be injured? Did I really cause so many people to fall into this miserable situation? I, I, I I'm just leading the army under orders, I'm just following orders."
Polo Jisan and Chi Doha saw him weeping for the dead and wounded on the battlefield, but he did not distinguish between friend and foe, and they felt a lot in their hearts. At this time, Chi Doha's forward battalion had killed more than 20,000 people and seriously injured five to six thousand people. Naturally, he felt deeply about this matter. He also remembered Bolu Jisan's words, "Is it possible that you really want to kill them all?" Unconsciously, my mind was in a trance, and it seemed that I no longer wanted to capture Suzhou so much.
"General, you should know that today the armored troops from Prince Zhuge's Mansion have arrived for reinforcements. You must already know what their combat strength is." Mei Yuanchen collected his thoughts and continued: "Anxian Military Camp, Shengjun Military Camp and Fuyang Military Camp The military camp is also on its way to Suzhou and will arrive the day after tomorrow at the latest!"
"What?" Li Donghuai asked in surprise. Then he sneered: "Hmph, if so many reinforcements are coming, why would you come to persuade us to retreat?"
The reinforcements in these three places were indeed organized by Mei Yuanchen. At this time, he did not dare to show any flaws and said seriously: "These reinforcements are all here under military orders. I think I will never let you retreat easily. It will inevitably happen again." It's a bloody fight, and I don't know how many people will lose their lives! Is this what you and I hope for when humanity becomes good?"
Batila, the deputy general of the Chinese army, refuted: "Haha, you just said all this, how can you know the truth or falsehood? We were ordered to march eastward, how could we return without success?" Batila is a veteran general in his fifties. He won the respect of Emperor Shatuo Pu Bayin, and this time he also accompanied Chihedan on his expedition to Anxian.
"I don't mean to underestimate you, but I can tell you for sure that you have no chance of winning this battle!" Mei Yuanchen looked at Batila and said solemnly.
Batila's face turned cold, and he suddenly laughed and said: "Hahaha! What an arrogant and ignorant kid!" Bolu Jisan, Chi Doha, Li Donghuai and others on the side also looked at Mei Yuanchen, with doubts on their faces. color.
"In that case, I will tell you one more thing: your food and grass will soon run out." Mei Yuanchen said sternly.
Chi Hedan couldn't help but be shocked after hearing what he said. This was exactly what he had been worried about in recent days, and he immediately scolded him: "You kid with a yellow mouth, you are talking nonsense!"
Mei Yuanchen looked at him and saw the panic in his eyes. He knew that his trip was probably a success. He couldn't help but feel overjoyed. After a long while, he slowly said: "Three days ago, I led the cavalry into Shatuo territory. The Xiaoxiankou in Kaye completely wiped out a grain-guarding camp there, and we burned all the noodles in the bamboo hut. But I don’t know if what they were storing was your grain and grass?"
shock!
angry!
Panic!
fear!
The faces of the six people could no longer hide their expressions, and they were experiencing changes from fright to anger, from anger to panic, and then from panic to fear. Xiaoxiankou is where the food and grass for the Eastern Expedition are stored. It is far away from the border and can be said to be extremely secretive. Now that Mei Yuanchen has said it, there is no truth to it. So the food rations for these 170,000 troops are really about to run out. How can they not be surprised? Not angry? Not panic? Not afraid?
