"How?" Siqin raised half of his lips and smiled sarcastically, "Ben Khan thought that Patriarch Lu would have an idea, but he didn't expect to ask me when the matter was imminent?"
Lu Heng shook his head with a wry smile, "Don't joke about it, Khan. I just took up an official position in Dazhou. In fact, the Lu family is just a businessman, and I'm just a businessman. You think, a businessman can be a businessman. How much knowledge do you have?"
"You don't need to belittle yourself." Siqin hugged his shoulders and said sarcastically, "Now my Tatar warriors have been driven to a corner. No matter how much money you have, you can't get here even if you buy food, grass, and bedding. Don't you want to? Do your best to fight for this?"
Lu Heng smiled bitterly, sighed and turned to the no-man's-land desert. Pointed to the west side, then pointed to the east side.
"Over there, there is a city, and you can go straight to Dadu. Here, it is a desert. Now this solar term, the weather in the desert is changing rapidly, and we people have no food or drink. Entering this desert is equivalent to a dead end. If you don't move, Da Zhou's troops will directly press you, or you may still have the strength to fight, if you retreat, you will either be buried in the desert, or you will retreat directly to Dadu."
Si Qin shook his head impatiently when he heard the words, "Isn't the situation you mentioned obvious? Either retreat to the capital, or stand here and carry it. I want to ask, if it were you, what would you choose?"
Lu Heng put one hand behind him, his fist clenched tightly.
"If it were me, I would naturally choose to carry it to the death. Although I am not talented, I cannot allow the soldiers and horses I bring to retreat, causing the people in the city to suffer from military disasters."
"I can't see, you are still a man of righteousness." There was a bit of sarcasm in Siqin's words, and his eyes when he looked at Lu Heng's back also seemed extremely cold, "I sometimes think that this time, I will join your alliance with you to attack Da Zhou. , did you fall into your trap?"
"Trap?" Lu Heng's heart skipped a beat, but he still kept his face calm, turned around slowly, and looked at Siqin openly, "What kind of trap can I set up? Not to mention a hero with both wisdom and courage like Khan. , If I really encountered any trap, I would have seen it at a glance, can it still allow me to be mad to this day?"
"I don't want to allow you to be arrogant." Siqin smiled and leaned in front of Lu Heng, staring at Lu Heng with eagle-like eyes, and the smile on the corners of his lips made him even colder, "You are really a good dog of the Zhou Dynasty. , even if you are hunted down by your emperor, you still do not forget to put us together to persuade Ben Khan to say that now is the best time to attack, taking advantage of the continuous natural and man-made disasters in the Great Zhou Dynasty, just to take it down in one fell swoop. But now what? ?"
Siqin suddenly took a step forward, forcing Lu Heng to take a step back.
"What kind of natural disasters and man-made disasters are you talking about, it can't help at all. What kind of famine, your Prince Zhongshun has the ability to get food for emergency. In the end, you can get so many soldiers and horses to fight against Ben Khan. . What do you call this? Is this the good time you're talking about?"
Lu Heng's face was really calm, but he was already a little panicked in his heart.
Now that the war is unfavorable, Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu are aggressive, and they seem to be in decline. If the Tatar were defeated, Siqin really needed an outlet to vent his anger. He and Siqin had only had a cooperative relationship in the first place, and there was no way of trusting him. Now that Siqin suspected him, it wasn't a surprise.
However, at the time of the defeat, Siqin was so suspicious that if he wanted to kill him, the people under him might not be his opponents.
Lu Heng's thoughts turned a hundred times in the blink of an eye, he smiled slightly and cupped his hands: "Khan really thinks too much. I have long been a criminal minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty chased and killed everywhere, if I lied to the Khan. , what's the benefit to me?"
Siqin stared at Lu Heng's eyes, the suspicion in his eyes undisguised. It was as if he didn't know whether to believe him or not.
Lu Heng said again: "Khan can rest assured. My wife and servants, I add up to only a few people, and now we are still living in the Khan's camp. If the Khan thinks that I am telling a lie, You can take my life at any time, what do you think there is room for resistance with my little power?"
Having said that, Si Qin's expression softened a little.
However, with his ability, he was losing ground at this time, as if the right time and place were not equal to him. Such a trend of decadence is really unacceptable.
Seeing that Siqin's expression had softened, Lu Heng's heart finally quietly returned to its original position, and he stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Khan, in fact, I was just thinking, can I secretly send someone to Dadu for help? If the opponent strikes back and forth unexpectedly, there may be room for a counterattack.”
Siqin pondered.
"Khan, if the Great Zhou army is pressed directly, our warriors will be outnumbered, and then it will be difficult to do."
Today, Dazhou has 480,000 soldiers and horses, and they only came to 200,000 elite soldiers when they raided the whole country. It is not unheard of in history to win more with less, but if it really happens to oneself, it is not so easy.
If this is not the case, Siqin can't think of any other solution for a while.
But if he just listened to Lu Heng's suggestion, Siqin felt like he was a marionette, being led by the nose by the person in front of him.
"Ben Khan think again."
When Lu Heng heard the words, he didn't persuade him any more, and he should surrender.
Siqin went back to the tent with a sullen face, and Lu Heng quickly returned to his tent.
When Bian Ruohan saw Lu Heng coming back, he hurriedly got up and threw himself up: "You're back, go and tell them that I want to take a bath. They don't even have hot water here, how can they bear it if they don't take a bath!"
Lu Heng was full of thoughts, and this time he added another precaution against Siqin, for fear that if Siqin lost to Pang Xiao, he would anger him.
"Where is this place, where is it that you can do what you want?"
Bian Ruohan stomped, "Where do you say this is? You didn't bring me with you back then! I'm your wife, you have to do your best to satisfy what I want. If you can't satisfy it, you're incompetent. Why are you saying mine? I just want to take a bath, what's wrong with me!"
"Shower, bathe." Lu Heng grabbed Bian Ruohan's neck, pressed her head and walked out of the tent door.
When the curtain was opened, Tartar soldiers followed immediately.
Under their strict surveillance, Bian Ruohan was too frightened to speak for a while, so Lu Heng pinched his neck and took it out.
After staggering away for a moment, Lu Heng pushed her to the ground.
Bian Ruohan fell to the ground with an "Oops", and when she looked up, what broke into her line of sight was the boundless sea of sand.
The dark sky, the dirty air, the gust of wind, and the yellow sand flying all over the sky, even if you didn't walk into the desert, it still made people feel a suffocation from the heart.
