The snow has not melted, and new snow has arrived.

The six horsemen galloped through the snowflakes, all of them were fur suits, wore leather felt hats, and had scimitars pinned to their waists, and saw a snow-covered mountain appear in the distance, and the speed of the six horsemen slowed down.

The first person was burly, with a beard as thick as a needle, and after slowing down the horse's speed, he turned around and shouted: "Is that Panlong Mountain?" ”

"That's right, that's Panlong Mountain, and the Northwest Army is stationed on the side of Panlong Mountain." A horse on the side stepped forward and said loudly: "The horse has been investigated, and the Northwest Army is stationed here." ”

Rough beard said: "That Chu He, what's your name?" ”

"Chu Huan." The rider next to him said: "Teguzhe, do we really want to see that Chu Huan?" ”

"What, you don't want to see him?" The thick-bearded man Teguzhe raised his hand and touched the rough-bearded road.

The cavalry said hatefully: "I can't wait to skin him and cramp, if it weren't for their Northwest Army, how could Jochitai and thousands of brothers not be able to return to the grassland?" "This person was originally a subordinate of Jochitai, but this time he also came with him, after all, he had many contacts with the Northwest Army, and in the eyes of other barbarians, he knew more about the Northwest Army.

"With so many people in your tribe dying at their hands, it's no wonder you're resentful." Teguzhe said: "But this time we are not going to kill them, but as messengers, we want to persuade them." ”

"Persuasion?"

"The emperor of the Qin State sent people to throw Qu Lu from the city, and he was crushed to pieces, it seems that they are going to fight us to the death." Teguzhe sneered: "Tushi Khan has ordered that if you don't break the city of Wuping, you must not return to the grassland, and you must take the city of Wuping at all costs." However, the Northwest Army has already sent troops to Hexi, and controls the Hexi Corridor, they can advance and retreat, and the cavalry will only need three days to rush to the city of Wuping Mansion, Tu Shihan is not willing to let them affect our plan to attack the city. ”

"Could it be that the Northwest Army will really go to help the Qin Army?" The cavalry wondered: "They are stationed here, and they have not marched, do they not want to go over?" ”

"The Central Plains people are scheming, and the Northwest Army didn't make an easy move, which doesn't mean they won't make a move." Teguzhe said: "After all, they have tens of thousands of troops, and if they really want to fight over, it will be a big trouble." ”

"But if you negotiate with them, won't the revenge of my people be avenged?" The cavalry was unwilling.

Tegu Zhe laughed and said: "What are you anxious about, when the city of Wuping Mansion is conquered, the gold and silver treasures are in hand, and there is enough food, Tushi Khan may send troops to compete with the Northwest Army, although the Northwest Army has a lot of men and horses, but compared with our steppe warriors, it is just a group of useless lambs." Then he said solemnly: "But now is not the time, the Central Plains people often say, a gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, Shulu, you don't have to be anxious." ”

The group walked forward and walked less than ten miles, and found that behind them, there were many cavalry like ghosts, adding up to no less than a hundred, Shulu saw the armor of those cavalry, and said vigilantly: "It's the northwest cavalry!" ”

At this time, the Northwest Cavalry had already surrounded him, and without waiting for the Northwest Cavalry to speak, Te Guzhe had already said in a loud voice: "Don't get me wrong, we are the envoys sent by Tushi Khan, and we want to find you King Chu, Tushi Khan has a gift to give to the King of Chu, we are friends, not enemies." His original words were very ordinary, quite stiff, but they were still able to be heard clearly, and as he spoke, he had already pointed to the back, and there were a few horses carrying burdens, which were obviously the gifts he was talking about.

Yiqi stepped forward slowly, his face was thin, but it was Qiao Yin.

Qiao Yin belonged to the Xishan Praetorian Guard, originally under Wei Tianqing, after which Wei Tianqing defected to Chu Huan, Qiao Yin commanded the Xishan Praetorian Guard, and was absorbed by Feng Polu, when the two armies were facing each other, Wei Tianqing entered the camp alone, persuaded Qiao Yin, and defected, after the war, the Xishan Praetorian Guard was absorbed by Chu Huan, and Qiao Yin also became a general under Chu Huan.

Qiao Yin looked Te Guzhe up and down, and said coldly: "Hand over the weapon first!" ”

Teguzhe hesitated, and immediately gave an order to his entourage, and the barbarian soldiers were all displeased, but there were nearly 100 horsemen around, and they had already entered the territory of the Northwest Army at this time, so they did not dare to disobey after all.

Qiao Yin asked all the weapons to be confiscated, and Teguzhe was collected from the weapons, so he said, "Can we go to see the King of Chu?" ”

Qiao Yin shook his head and said, "Blindfold yourself, and we will take you away." ”

When Shulu heard this, he said angrily: "You guys! As soon as the words came out, Qiao Yin had already drawn his knife in his hand, and said coldly: "If you want to see the king of Chu, you must act according to this rule, otherwise you will only be executed on the spot as barbarian spies. ”

A group of northwest cavalry are also holding knives in their hands, one by one, they are all staring at the group of people with fierce eyes, although the people are brave, but when they see such a formation, they are still furious in their hearts, and in desperation, the six barbarians, including the special bones, took strips of cloth from their bodies and blindfolded themselves.

Soon, Qiao Yin led some cavalry to the west with Te Guzhe and his party, Te Guzhe couldn't see the surrounding scene clearly, only heard the cold wind whistling in his ears, and walked for a long time before he heard Qiao Yin say in a deep voice: "It's here." ”

Te Guzhe didn't believe it, in his consciousness, Qiao Yin should take himself to the military camp to see Chu Huan, and the military camp is a heavy place, there are many people and horses, it is impossible not to have a sound, but at this moment he didn't hear any sound in his ears, raised his hand and tore off the strip of cloth covering his eyes, and immediately saw that he was really in a big camp, surrounded by camp tents, he was already in the camp, his eyes were rolling, but he wanted to take this opportunity to observe the Northwest Army barracks, but layer after layer of camp tents, blocked the view, and in the camp, I couldn't see anything.

It's just that except for the howling of the cold wind, there is not the slightest noise that the barracks should have, which is completely different from the noisy roar of the barbarian barracks.

There were tens of thousands of mercenaries in the entire battalion, but the silence was terrifying, and this kind of atmosphere made Teguzhe and the others even more furious.

At this moment, a burly man in armor walked over in front of him, Qiao Yin stepped forward and whispered a few words, the man glanced at Te Guzhe twice, his steps were calm, his eyes were cold, it was Qi Hong, the captain of the personal soldiers beside Chu Huan.

Qi Hong looked at Te Guzhe's eyes, but Te Guzhe was very uncomfortable by Qi Hong's eyes, in Qi Hong's gaze, Te Guzhe actually felt like a lamb staying, he was slightly surprised, coughed, stood up straight, and even carried his hands behind his back, adding some confidence to himself.

"You, come here, follow me to see the King of Chu." Qi Hong raised his hand and pointed at Teguzhe, making Teguzhe feel like the other party was picking lambs in the sheepfold, "You guys, stay." The tone was unquestionable, and without saying a word, he turned and left.

Teguzhe thought that Shulu knew a little bit about the Northwest Army, so it was better to bring someone with him, and if there was a problem later, he would have a good response, and said loudly: "Wait a minute, can I bring someone with me?" ”

"If you ramble any more, get back now." Qi Hong said angrily.

Te Guzhe was annoyed, but Shulu had already clenched his fists, but now that they were in Chu Huan's territory, although their tempers were hot, they didn't dare to attack at this time.

Teguzhe followed behind Qi Hong, and when he arrived in front of a big tent, Qi Hong lifted the tent, and after entering, he quickly came out and said to Teguzhe: "The King of Chu let you in." ”

Teguzhe thought to himself that this Chu Huan really didn't know how to be polite, he was also a messenger sent by Tushi Khan, and he didn't even use the word "please", although this Chu Huan was the king of Chu, but if he really wanted to compare, Yiman had fifty or sixty thousand elite horsemen who could fight well, and his strength could only be above Chu Huan, and the strength of Tushi Khan was stronger than this king of Chu.

Te Guzhe was dissatisfied, and when he saw Chu Huan, he was even more disappointed, of course, not because of Chu Huan's appearance, but because Chu Huan was sitting on a chair at this time, and his two legs were on the small table on the side, when Te Guzhe came in, Chu Huan was still holding a book in his hand, and Te Guzhe saw that Chu Huan obviously heard his footsteps, but he didn't turn his head to look at himself, and he was even more dissatisfied, and said loudly: "Grassland messenger Te Guzhe, I have seen the King of Chu!" ”

Chu Huan raised his eyelids slightly, saw Te Guzhe, looked up and down, and casually put the scroll on the side, his feet still did not put down, but said lightly: "You were sent by Tushi?" ”

Teguzhe was stunned, thinking that this King of Chu already knew about Tushi Khan, and nodded: "Yes, King Chu, our Tushi Khan led an army of 100,000!" ”

Before he finished speaking, Chu Huan had already smiled and said: "The 100,000 army is heading south, don't you even have soldiers and horses to guard the old nest in the barbarian grassland?" You are looking at the emptiness of Hexi, so you seized the weakness of the Qin State and attacked it on a large scale. It's just that you only see the shortcomings of others, but you don't care about your own ass exposed, and now that your grassland is empty, aren't you afraid that someone will attack your lair? ”

Teguzhe was slightly shocked in his heart, but Tushi Khan was able to select him from tens of thousands of barbarians as a messenger, his psychological quality was naturally very strong, and he reluctantly smiled: "The king of Chu said that he laughed, my prairie is full of brave warriors, sending 100,000 troops, and hundreds of thousands of people are guarding the grassland, no matter who wants to enter the grassland, he can only kill himself." ”

Chu Huan didn't argue with him either, and asked, "You said that Tu Shi led 100,000 troops to the south, and he sent you over, could it be that he wants to hunt with this king in Hexi?" ”

Hearing Chu Huan get straight to the point, Teguzhe breathed a sigh of relief and said, "King Chu, Tushi Khan sent me here to make friends with you. Tushi Khan admires the king of Chu very much, now the Qin State is unpopular, your Central Plains swords and soldiers are everywhere, Tushi Khan feels that the emperor of Qin is no longer suitable to be the emperor of your Central Plains, he is willing to help you, destroy the Qin State, let the King of Chu become the master of the Central Plains, Tushi Khan's 100,000 troops are all warriors with one enemy and ten, with the help of these 100,000 troops, King Chu! ”

Chu Huan interrupted again: "With one enemy and ten, in this way, if you want to deal with the barbarian army, you need a million troops?" The emperor of Qin did not have so many people, and it seemed that he would definitely be defeated. He sighed: "Even the king does not have a million people under his command, in this case, why doesn't Tu Shi lead your 100,000 army to sweep through the Central Plains, wouldn't it be better for him to be the emperor himself?" ”
