It's night.

The dark night sky covered the earth, and the light of the torches in Ningping City swayed in the cold wind, and the Chu army did not rush to send troops to the Heavenly Burial Pass, and the army was stationed in Ningping City to rest for one night.

The moonlight was dim, the cold wind roared, the bloody gas in the air dissipated, and the four gates of Ningping City were heavily guarded by the Chu army.

At this time.

General Yue Fei, Ran Min, and Wei Qing have already begun to heal, Bai Qi, Li Jing, Huo Quai, and Ma Yuanzhu will discuss in the big tent, and tomorrow will send troops to bury the customs.

Long.

At the end of the military discussion, the soldiers who cleaned up the battlefield entered the big tent and reported: "Report, in the battle of Ningping City, 80,000 enemy soldiers were killed, 20,000 soldiers were captured, and one general was killed." ”

Bai Qi waved his hand to signal the soldiers to retreat, and asked: "There are 20,000 prisoners and one general, what should I do." ”

"The soldiers are about to be buried, and they are left behind for fear of trouble, it is better to kill them, one hundred!"

"Don't be reckless, our army is famous for attacking the Dongying Empire, if you kill the prisoners, it will be true, on the contrary, we treat the prisoners well, which can show that our army is a benevolent and righteous division."

"My emperor will definitely win the world in the future, the people will be the foundation of the country, their support is indispensable, and treating the captives well can resolve the people's hostility towards the Wuchu army, which is a multi-pronged move."

"As for the fact that 20,000 captives can be handed over to the enemy generals, it's just that Zhang Han has a strong temperament, and I'm afraid it won't be easy for him to surrender."

Li Jing squinted his eyes slightly, and a sonorous voice sounded, he was different from Bai Qi, only those who should be killed in the battlefield confrontation, and the prisoners and civilians were not killed.

He took this opportunity to persuade Zhang Han to return to the state of Chu, and the next battle in Ningping City, Zhang Han's toughness made the generals admire, and it was a pity to be so brave and fierce.

If they can successfully persuade them to submit to Chu, they can increase the strength of the army and solve the problem of 20,000 prisoners at the same time.

"The two marshals, the last general and Zhang Han have a few faces, and they are willing to go and persuade him to return!"

Li Cunxiao suddenly stood up and saluted, Li Jing glanced sideways, and said, "It's so good, General Li will come forward." ”

The generals left the big tent, Li Cunxiao shouted Shi Dakai to stop, and the two walked together to the barracks where Zhang Han was held.

When the soldiers on guard saw Li Cunxiao and Shi Dakai coming, they bowed down one after another, and when they saw the two of them, they raised their hands and quickly opened the barracks gate.

"Squeak!"

The sound of the door opening spread, Li Cunxiao and Shi Dakai entered it, and in the dim light, Zhang Han sat on the ground, his back straight like a sword.

"General Zhang, the old man came to see him, and the general doesn't plan to look back?"

Li Cunxiao's voice was loud, but Zhang Han kept his mouth shut, ignoring the arrival of the two, Shi Dakai's face was not angry, but he was stopped when he wanted to get up.

"In the past, in the battle of Jinchang City, you and I fought side by side, and today we meet, and we are just here to reminisce about the past."

"General Li is already one of the top ten marshals of the Chu State, and the Shenwu Legion under his command is incomparable, and he is just a prisoner in the eyes of the general, and we still need to catch up with each other?"

Zhang Han never looked back, the majestic voice spread, the voice was full of melancholy, throughout his life, he participated in countless battles on behalf of the War College.

If he had known that he would end up like this, he would have abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and it is estimated that he is now a general of another country, loyal to the War College for a long time, without reflecting his own value, nor having a high-ranking official, but in the end he was ruthlessly abandoned.

Resentment.

Unwilling.

Aggrieved.

Now Zhang Han only wants to die, which is his best belonging, why Li Cunxiao came, he knows it, but he is disheartened, depressed, and does not want to be involved in the endless war.

"General Zhang's words are wrong, in the past, you and I killed the enemy side by side, but today's general should not be like this, he can't bear to be filial piety, and he doesn't want to see a generation of famous generals fall."

"The end of the battle of Ningping City is the best time for the general to be reborn from the ashes, my emperor is the king of benevolence and righteousness, with the people of the world in mind, the general will abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and he will definitely be respected."

"Born in troubled times, as a general, with a thousand burdens, and then thousands of troops, will have the heart to die, and the soldiers have no greed for life."

"With the ability of a general, it is easy to unify thousands of armies, so why not live a peaceful life for the people of the world and make a modest contribution."

Li Cunxiao moved with affection, knew with reason, and a few simple words made Zhang Han more and more embarrassed, sighed, and his resolute cheeks were covered with haze.

"General Zhang, in the battle of Ningping City, 30,000 soldiers were captured, and the generals of Wuchu hope to hand them over to the general."

"Cun Xiao, that's all I say, I hope the general will make the right choice, burying his skills and talents."

Li Cunxiao's words were exquisite, and the sonorous and powerful voice kept knocking on Zhang Han's heart, and just as the two of them left the barracks, Zhang Han suddenly stood up, and an abrupt voice came.

"Wait~"

"General Li's words are like thunder and a dream, although it is already a candle in the wind, it is a great blessing to be loyal to the emperor of the world in his lifetime."

....................

The wolf smoke is billowing, the war drums are everywhere, there is no gunpowder smoke everywhere in the world, and at this time, three days have passed since the battle of Ningping City.

General Bai Qizhong led the Fifth Route Army to the Heavenly Burial Pass, as early as three days ago, Kawashima Jingren received the news that the 100,000-strong army of the War College was wiped out, and he was not the slightest surprised.

"Gongzi Jingren, the Chu army is really not to be underestimated, the battle of Fukushima City was defeated, this time the War College poured out, but no one escaped from Ningping City, it makes people feel terrifying when they think about it."

"What, the prison general is scared?"

"The dignified commander of the Flying Snake Army, a defeat will make you disheartened and treat the enemy like a snake?"

"The strength of the Chu army, my son has already understood, and my thirty years of precise deployment were all destroyed by the Chu Emperor in less than three months."

"He is qualified to be my opponent!"

"As for the six enemy generals who came to the unified army, my son really didn't pay attention to it, and the spies came to report that the Chu army was only one day away from the pass, and there was some impulse to wait to fight them."

Kawashima Keihito's disdainful voice sounded, letting the cold wind whistle past the figure, looking at the Tianqian Canyon in front of him, and the gloomy smile on his face became even stronger.

At this moment.

Outside Hanya Pass.

The sound of rumbling horses' hooves shook the sky, the group stood on their horses, the gate of the pass was open, Su Lie and Pang De wore military uniforms, clutched the long sword at their waists, and strode forward.

"The last general (Su Lie, Pang De), meet Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

That's right, it was Emperor Chu who came to Hangu Pass, and he led Luo Shixin, Na Ya'a, Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry and a thousand Iron Eagle Warriors, and finally arrived after three days of running.

Before the Duke Di Renjie did not return to the imperial city, Emperor Chu received an urgent military report of 800 miles from Su Lie that an unknown army had appeared outside Hangu Pass.

They attacked Hangu Pass one after another, but did not launch a fierce attack, and Su Lie and Pang De led troops out of the pass to meet the battle, but they all ended in failure.

The army reported to Beijing, hoping that Emperor Chu would send strong generals to help, but he didn't expect Emperor Chu to come in person, which surprised Su Lie and Pang De.

Emperor Chu's eyes crossed the armor of the two of them, and when he saw their dusty appearance, he raised his arm and motioned for the second general to get up and speak.

"Have the two generals found out who the people who attacked Hangu Pass and what empire they belong to?"
