In Yingzhou Shuoxi army camp, Yan Chi welcomed Qin Wan and his party into the Chinese army tent.
As soon as the account was entered, Qin Wan said, "The queen is seriously injured and the old general is not in good health. In addition, the current situation is different from before, so the old general and the crown prince gave up and came back to fight for Lin'an. The fifth princess is now alive. In the border towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty, if you want to come to see the old general, there are nearly 70,000 soldiers outside, except for General Cheng and General Sun, all of whom are direct descendants of the Northern Army. Those who have been with the general for many years and have no family are still staying with the old general, and there are still some relatives at home who have no intention of defecting, and have left the Beifu army and returned home on their own."
Qin Wan summed it up in a few words, and as soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Wei, Sun Qi and others came forward to greet him. This time, there were more than a dozen generals of the Beifu Army, Cheng Wei, Sun Qi, and others. He met four or five people during the alliance, and the rest of them had never fought even face to face. However, since the Beifu army came to join him this time, Yan Chi naturally wanted to treat them kindly, even though he was not at the moment. Don't rely on them to fight for Lin'an, but one more friend is better than one more enemy.
Yan Chi immediately said, "Everyone, please, you have been stationed in the northern border for many years. This king knows this feeling best. Now that you have come to vote, this king naturally treats you like the Shuoxi army. Please hurry up Bar-"
Yan Chi's words can be said to have touched the hearts of Cheng Wei and the others.
Garrisoning the northern border is as hard as stationing in Shuoxi, but it is incomparable to the troops stationed elsewhere, and they have to face two fierce tribes, the Rong and the barbarians. From this point of view, the Shuoxi army and the Beifu army are almost the same Seeing that Yan Chi understands their difficulties, even though Yan Chi doesn't need troops now, but still treats them very politely, Cheng Wei and the others' heart fell to the ground. The meaning of surrender is stronger.
After getting up, Yan Chi asked Qin Wan to rest, and immediately called Chu Feisheng and Xiao Cheng in, and ordered them to command the number of Beifu troops and the number of generals, so that they could arrange for the two armies to join forces. Cheng Wei and the others saw the decisive and agile behavior of the Shuoxi Army, and Yan Chi immediately arranged for the merger of the two armies, and did not intend to demote the generals of the Beifu Army, which showed that he had no grudge against the Beifu Army, and Chu Fei Sheng, Xiao Cheng and others are also veterans in the army, and their actions are quite frank and forthright, so let alone the soldiers below, the generals on both sides talked very happily and very harmoniously.
After roughly summing up the number of people, Chu Feicheng, Cheng Wei, Sun Qi and others went to arrange for the army to set up camp, and then the tents of the Chinese army were emptied. Wan hugged it into his arms and said, "This is such a generous gift."
Qin Wan smiled and said, "I set off two days late, so I had to bring a generous gift, lest you blame me, what should I do?"
Yan Chi pinched Qin Wan's waist, "How dare you say that!"
Qin Wan couldn't help being pinched and giggled, Yan Chi's heart was full of affection, and he had to spend some time with her. After the lovesickness was relieved, Yan Chi let Qin Wan go to freshen up, and he didn't talk to her until Qin Wan finished changing. "Zhao You suddenly made such a decision, the Beifu army may be quite confused."
Qin Wan sat down to drink tea, and said, "Exactly, the Beifu army knew that the Shuoxi army had been plotted against, and also knew that you went south to Lin'an in a fit of anger, and the Beifu army is now short of food and grass, so they can't last long. If they go up against the Shuoxi army , there is no doubt that you will be defeated, even if it is too difficult to procrastinate with troops in the north, it is better to choose to join us right now than that. In this way, it is not difficult to make this decision. Taking a step back, their master has no fighting spirit, and there is no way for them to be loyal even if they want to be loyal. In this case, why not choose another master? The day when I serve my country and become an official and a nobleman."
Yan Chi smiled, "It's also thanks to you. You saved the queen. The old general is grateful to you from the bottom of his heart. Otherwise, I'm afraid he wouldn't have handed over the Beifu army so easily."
Zhao You can be so decisive, naturally because of Qin Wan, but now that the situation has changed, Zhao You can only follow the general trend.
"The old general saw very clearly that he was not someone who was desperately greedy for the throne. Now that he knew the result, he would not ask so many soldiers of the Beifu army to follow him to endure hardships. Therefore, it is best to choose a trustworthy person to entrust your direct lineage." s Choice."
At this point, Qin Wan sighed again, "The incident in Cangzhou has dealt a heavy blow to the old general. Now his health is deteriorating, and it is difficult to cure the stone. If there is a good medicine to continue, there may be another year or two, or even longer. Maybe, if you are exhausted and exhausted, it may only take half a year."
Zhao You spent half his life in the northern region for the sake of Great Zhou, and he is so similar to Yan Lin. In this regard, Yan Chi admires him a lot.
Yan Chi said, "So, the current situation is good for everyone."
The two talked for a while, and the sky had completely darkened. Now that it's early autumn, the weather is not as long as summer. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Yan Chi ordered someone to prepare a simple meal for Cheng Wei and the others. Chu Feisheng and the others have been tense since Gu Ling and Yu Qi's accident. Tonight, Yanchi allowed them to drink alcohol. The cups are changed, but after three rounds of drinking, he can't help but think of Gu Ling and Yu Qilai!
Chu Feicheng said with red eyes, "It was supposed to go back to Shuoxi with a big victory, and we all had a good drink together, but now we are going to Lin'an with His Highness, but there are two people missing. This glass of wine , I respect Gu Ling and Yu Qi—"
As he spoke, he sighed again, "I didn't die at the hands of the enemy, but I died under the schemes of my own people. This is really...unwilling! It's unfair!"
Xiao Cheng and the others also blushed when they heard the words, and poured wine on the ground to worship the souls of the dead. Cheng Wei, Sun Qi and the others were also quite sighed when they saw this, thinking of the 10,000 brothers who stayed behind in Cangzhou, they also felt sad Well, people who have never been in the army may not know this feeling. In this way, the generals on both sides have reached a three-point agreement.
Mentioning Gu Ling and Yu Qi, Yan Chi's heart ached unavoidably. Although he could have a drink tonight, the wine cup in front of Yan Chi did not move at all.
At this time, the night was dark, and the sky covered the earth like a net of ghosts and monsters. Yan Chi said coolly, "Send troops tomorrow morning and attack Lin'an directly. Although Gu Ling and Yu Qi are dead, their spirits are in the sky Look at us, let's go to the emperor and ask for justice!"
