Lu Dayuan didn't fall asleep all night, but kept looking at the two thin-skinned coffins beside him in a daze. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThis is a craftsman who accompanied the army, and it was built by dismantling several carriages overnight yesterday, and the thin-skin coffin contained the remains of Deng Pu and Deng Su.

Deng is finished! Lu Dayuan sighed in his heart. As one of the confidant generals of the Deng family, of course he knew that after Li Zhi's death, the seemingly beautiful Deng family actually contained a great crisis, the royal family was suspicious, the Bian family hated, and another general of the Deng family, Xiao Qiang, the tiger prison with heavy troops, had ill intentions and intended to stand on his own. All kinds of factors prompted Deng Hong, Deng Pu to make up his mind to join forces with the Qi people, and the barbarians to attack the Ming Kingdom together, wanting to fight a beautiful turnaround battle, seize a large area of fertile land for the Ming Kingdom, and create a glorious record that the Great Qin Dynasty has never had in the past dynasties.

If all this becomes a reality, then there is no doubt that the merits of the Deng clan will be in the annals of history, and no one will be able to shake their position in Great Qin. At the beginning of the army, there were many discussions within the Deng clan, and they all unanimously concluded that there was no reason to lose this big battle anyway.

But it still failed.

Where is the failure? Lu Dayuan thought about it, even now, he didn't come up with a reason.

But failure is failure. A plan that seemed to have no problem, but in the end, it was a complete loss, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly when he looked at the two coffins.

If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place?

He stood up and looked at the soldiers around him. The dark circles under his eyes showed that his soldiers had also stayed awake all night. Also, surrounded by enemies and with their lives at stake, who can sleep?

In the enemy camp opposite, puffs of cooking smoke had already risen, and the fragrance wafting in the wind made him swallow a mouthful of saliva.

"Bury the pot and make a meal, so that the brethren may have a full meal." He whispered to the lieutenant beside him.

"General Lu, we don't have much food with the army." The adjutant deliberately lowered his voice and prayed to him.

Lu Dayuan smiled bitterly: "Do you think that even if we let the brothers only drink gruel, how long can we last?" ”

The adjutant general was dumbfounded.

"Let the brethren have a full meal, and then get ready to break out!" Lu Dayuan said.

The adjutant general shuddered, "General Lu, break through like this, without the cavalry to cover the formation, how much can we stand out?" ”

"How much can I go back to?" Lu Dayuan sighed.

The lieutenant general was overshadowed, lowered his head and walked silently into the distance.

Lu Dayuan carried his knife and walked to the front of the position, the Ming army seemed to have no signs of attacking, and their cavalry retreated a little farther than yesterday, and at this moment only released some sentry posts to wander around them.

In the breakthrough operation, the most difficult thing to deal with is these cavalry, and the greatest casualties will also be caused by these cavalry. But there is no way, if yesterday, those cavalry of Daqin did not escape, they would still be sure to go back with most of them, but now, one or two of the ten stops will be great. Now, Lu Dayuan didn't want to complain about the cavalry, after knowing that Deng Pu and Deng Su were both killed, didn't he also lose the courage to fight?

Taking a few steps forward, he stood alone in front of the array with a knife, looking at the Great Bright Sun and Moon Flag fluttering in the distance, but his heart was full of emotion.

A small Chu military captain who fled in embarrassment five years ago had nothing, but now he has created a huge foundation, not only destroying the Yue State, but now beating the Qin State to the brumbling ground.

Lu Dayuan didn't have much hatred for Qin Feng in his heart, on the contrary, he admired this young but legendary figure quite a lot, he knew that this person should be opposite him now, and if he could fight him, even if he died under his sword, it would be worthy of his life's career as a horseman.

At this time, from the array of the Ming army, a person actually came out, looked at him from a distance for a moment, and actually took a big stride and walked directly towards him.

Lu Dayuan was slightly stunned.

The man got closer and closer, and he didn't stop at all. He heard the sound of countless crossbows opening behind him, and he raised his hand and waved it, signaling not to move.

The man got closer and closer, and Lu Dayuan finally saw clearly, it was Huo Guang, the secretary of the Ming Kingdom's military department. Of course, he is also a master of martial arts. He was slightly angry in his heart, and said goodbye to say that you are not a grandmaster, even if you are a grandmaster, is it possible that you still want to come and single-handedly challenge my army of 10,000 people?

Even if you win the final victory, can't I still knock out a few of your teeth?

He glared at Huo Guang, held a knife, and walked over to the other party.

The two stood opposite each other, Lu Dayuan's face was full of anger, but Huo Guang was smiling.

Of course, the winner is entitled to laugh.

"General Lu, can we talk?" Huo Guang smiled and said: "Sit down and talk, don't stare at me like this, I'm not here to fight with you, heads-up, you are not my opponent, group fight, you are not our opponent now." He pointed to the infantry behind him, and then to the cavalry in the distance behind Lu Dayuan, at this moment, the cavalry there had all turned over and were looking at this place.

"What do we have to talk about?" Lu Dayuan said hatefully: "General Deng Pu, General Deng Su died in your hands, you say, we have something to talk about." ”

Huo Guang snorted coldly and pointed to his feet, "General Lu, what is this?" ”

"What else could it be?" Lu Dayuan was stunned and said.

"Yes, land, whose land is this?" Huo Guang looked directly at the other party, "Is it our Da Ming's, or your Da Qin's?" Deng Pu, Deng Su died on the land of our Ming Dynasty, do you blame us? When the robber comes to the door, the owner is not allowed to defend himself? What kind of logic is this? Could this be the truth of your Great Qin? ”

Lu Dayuan was silent.

"Our Ming doctrine is that people don't offend me, I don't offend people, if people offend me, I will kill people, they come, then don't go back, don't they want our land? Then stay on this land forever. Huo Guang said proudly. General Lu, what about you, you also want to stay on this land forever? ”

"The general died in a hundred battles, and there is only death!" Lu Dayuan said abruptly.

"What about them?" Huo Guang pointed behind Lu Dayuan.

"The warriors of the Qin Kingdom have never been afraid of death." Lu Dayuan closed his eyes slightly, and his voice suddenly became heavy.

"10,000 Qin warriors, how many old and weak women and children are behind them?" Huo Guang stared at Lu Dayuan and asked. "It's easy to die, but after they die, what about those people?"

Lu Dayuan raised his head and looked at Huo Guang, "You want to persuade me?" ”

"Yes, I'm here to persuade you to surrender, General Lu, you have also seen the current situation, you can't escape, you can't win, you are stubborn, you are destined to die here in vain, and this can be avoided." Huo Guangdao.

The corners of Lu Daguang's mouth twitched: "Lord Huo, in the history of Great Qin, there has never been a precedent for the surrender of the establishment, and I will not be the first person to create this precedent." ”

"Afraid of being infamy?" Huo Guang smiled: "With a mere infamy on his back, but he can save tens of thousands of lives, how should General Lu choose?" ”

Lu Dayuan closed his eyes in pain and shook his head silently.

Huo Guang simply sat down and looked up at Lu Dayuan, who hesitated for a moment, but still sat down.

"General Lu, Great Qin Daming, the relationship has always been good, it's a pity, your Kaiping King Deng Hong, was bewitched by the Qin people, thinking that there was an opportunity, but stealing chickens and rice was not a loss, this battle is not what we want to fight, even now, we don't want to continue to expand the war, I think you also know that now we are in the east, and we are still facing the offensive of the Qi people, so I think that soon, we will have a negotiation with you Daqin." Huo Guang said lightly.

"Peace talks?" Lu Dayuan Huo Ran raised his head.

"Of course, there will definitely be negotiations, and now, I don't think you can fight anymore, and we don't want to fight either. Deng's, hehe, I'm afraid it's stormy now, but I know that this Deng's border army, known as the 100,000-strong army, has a real elite of 50,000 at most, and the rest of the people are inevitably too shabby. Now these 50,000 elites and 20,000 cavalry can be regarded as the destruction of the entire army, and the 20,000 in Longyou have also suffered great losses, and next, they will lose even more. Let me tell you this, your 10,000 people, or it will become Deng Hong's lifeline, surrender to us now, and if the negotiations go well in the future, it is not impossible for us to put you back as a whole? As long as Deng Hong is willing to pay the price. Huo Guang said leisurely: "I think Deng Hong must not be able to count on Xiao Qiang now, right?" ”

Lu Dayuan took a deep breath.

"King Kaiping organized this raid on you, and you are still willing to support King Kaiping?" He asked, confused.

"Of course, if I'm not mistaken, we are more willing to support King Kaiping than before, because he is much weaker than before, without Deng Pu, the grandmaster, and without Deng Su's 20,000 cavalry, he will rely on us more than before. Do you think that's right? Huo Guangpi looked at Lu Daguang with a smile. A weak Kaiping king who can't help the wind makes us like it more than a strong Kaiping king. ”

Lu Dayuan glared at Huo Guang, the other party's words were heart-wrenching, and the meaning was also obvious, that is, the Ming Kingdom hoped that Daqin would continue to maintain the fierce internal political struggle, King Kaiping became weaker, the Bian family became stronger, and Xiao Qiang would be more confident in his self-reliance. And the Ming State will inevitably add fuel to the flames, increase the contradictions of all parties, and continue to weaken the Qin State.

I understand the reason, but can I refuse? If you die here, it is impossible to prevent the defeat of King Kaiping, King Kaiping has completely lost power, not to mention the glory of dying in honor, I am afraid that even my family will be implicated, I am the confidant of the Deng family.

He bit his lip and closed his eyes in pain.
