Your Highness, has he stopped today?

three months later.Dingyuan army camp in Lianzhou.

The night wind blows the yellow sand, and the handsome flag with the word "landing" written on it is wedged on the shaft gate, making a sound of hunting.In the tent of the Chinese army, Lu Zheyu sat behind the table in black armor, looking down at the map on the table.

A soldier entered the tent and knelt down on one knee: "General, the Beidi army retreated just now, do you want to continue the pursuit?"

Lu Zheyu straightened up slowly, but his eyes continued to fall on the map without moving half a minute.

Since the troops of the Dingyuan Army stationed in Lizhou two months ago, Beidi's open provocation at the beginning has turned into a covert harassment, and it has become more frequent.Until the end of last month, Lu Zheyu sent more than a dozen people to attack the camp secretly, and set fire to a large area of ​​their granaries. The Beidi army began to attack the city the next day, and the two armies began to fight.

Lu Zheyu stared at the map for a long time, then raised his eyes and said lightly: "If they failed to attack the city today, they will definitely come back again. They must have been exhausted in the past few days of continuous battle. Send an order to send another 500 people to pursue and capture the leader. Soldiers, rewards."

The soldier cupped his fists and said loudly: "Yes!"

Feng Yang walked into the tent of the Chinese Army just in time to hear this conversation.Don't chase after the poor, this is the truth that all military strategists know.But since Lu Zheyu gave this order, there is only one reason.

Feng Yang stepped forward and picked a place to sit beside him: "My lord, are you planning to defeat the enemy camp in one fell swoop this time?"

Lu Zheyu's expression darkened, and he said: "The people of Beidi have always been cunning. They must withdraw their troops to wait for reinforcements. Why should we give them this opportunity?"

He stared blankly at the map.Lizhou is located in the northwestern plateau area, and it is the farthest place from the capital in Chen State. Although the land is vast and sparsely populated, it is not that there are no people living here.A hundred years ago, this place belonged to the Turks. Later, the Turks were annexed by Beidi. Beidi wanted to expand to the south, but it was seized by Chen Guo.Because of this, the mountains and ridges are criss-crossed, which is inherently dangerous and has become a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.

"Beidi has wanted to take over Lizhou for too long. This time, why not let them give up this idea forever."

Lu Zheyu said lightly.

The plateau area in the northwest area enters autumn too quickly, and the weather gradually cools down in early August.The Beidi army took the initiative to attack and harass at the beginning, but they won less and lost more. In a few months, more than half of their troops and horses were lost, so they had to specialize in attack and defense.And Lu Zheyu never let those remnant soldiers go, until he chased them to the Beidi camp, he often fought hard all night, making the Beidi army miserable.

a few days later.

One of the generals entered the tent of the Chinese army and knelt on one knee: "General, the envoy from Beidi sent a letter of peace, accompanied by seven or eight followers."

The peace petition was presented to Lu Zheyu, and Lu Zheyu glanced at it, then threw it on the table.

"This barbarian is cunning, you still have to be cautious." Feng Yang sat aside and said in a low voice.

Lu Zheyu nodded and said: "Since they are here to seek peace, no matter if they are sincere or false, they should go through the motions to find out the truth."

So that night, Lu Zheyu ordered to go down and hold a banquet in honor of Beidi's envoy.

The envoy was a military advisor of the Beidi Army. Feng Yang deliberately tested his martial arts on the pretext of pouring wine, and sure enough he didn't even know how to do it.Lu Zheyu gave him a meaningful look, but he couldn't see what kind of trick they were playing.

Did you really come here with sincerity?

The military adviser stood up, with a smile on his face, and said: "To tell you the truth, General Lu, my lord's siege was actually slandered by villains in the court. Bei Di and Da Chen had already signed an agreement four years ago. , It is really our army's fault to attack rashly now. If we can restore the old relationship with Chen Chao, I, Beidi, would like to compensate for the loss and pay tribute every year, how about it?"

Lu Zheyu was about to speak, but Feng Yang took the first step and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, the military division came here empty-handed this time, but I didn't see any sincerity."

The envoy hurriedly said: "As long as General Lu agrees to our army's peace request, my lord will immediately kill the treacherous minister who offered the plan, and I will personally send his head. What do you think, General?"

Lu Zheyu hesitated for a moment, and looked at Feng Yang, Feng Yang whispered beside him: "Master, you might as well agree to them first, let's see what tricks they will come up with next."

The envoy showed a earnest expression, and added: "Lianzhou is an important place of the Chen Kingdom, and there are still people in the city. General Lu must not bear to disturb the people in the flames of war, right?"

When Feng Yang heard this, he wanted to laugh.I'm about to surrender, and now I know that Lizhou is Chen Guo's territory.

Lu Zheyu nodded slightly, and said: "Since your army has such sincerity, this general will consider it."

The envoy raised his eyebrows and smiled, raised his glass and said, "Well, I would like to toast the general." After finishing speaking, he drank the wine first, and then showed the glass to the outside, and it was indeed empty.

Lu Zheyu raised his glass to drink, but was stopped by Feng Yang, Feng Yang showed a playful smile, playing with taste: "Since you are asking for peace, shouldn't you drink three cups first?"

Lai Shi was taken aback for a moment, smiled, picked up the flagon and continued to pour wine into the glass.

When he raised his glass again, a silver needle used as a hidden weapon slipped out of Feng Yang's sleeve, and it happened to fall into Lu Zheyu's glass.Immediately afterwards, the silver needle immediately turned black, and the wine in the glass was clearly poisoned.

Lu Zheyu frowned, and Feng Yang realized that the envoy brought nine followers with him, but now there are only eight left in the tent.

No matter how much he thought, this young General Lu actually had such capable subordinates beside him. He had already taken the antidote and drank alcohol beforehand, but he could still be noticed by him.

The guards in the Chinese army's big tent drew their swords one after another, seeing that they still missed the poisoning incident, the envoy's attendants also showed their weapons, and in a blink of an eye, the two sides immediately fought in the Chinese army's tent.

Feng Yang jumped in front of the envoy, kicked away a follower protecting him, and captured the envoy who didn't know martial arts at all, then pointed at his nose and cursed: "It's amazing, ah A little carelessness can cause people to poison me right under my nose." He didn't even bother to draw his sword, so he slapped it twice with his hands.

There were only a few followers, so they were naturally not opponents, and they were quickly captured by Dingyuan's army.

The eight attendants plus one who had just been captured, and the messenger whose mouth was red and swollen from the slap, were all tied up and knelt in the big tent.

Lu Zheyu walked over, stood in front of them with his hands behind his back, and looked down at these people with condescending eyes: "Is this the sincerity of your Beidi seeking peace?"

The envoy gave him a vicious look, and the next moment, black blood flowed from the corners of his mouths, and he and his subordinates fell to the ground unconscious.

Feng Yang frowned, took a step forward to sniff the man, then looked up at Lu Zheyu, shaking his head.

Feng Yang said: "I don't think this person is a military advisor at all. There are many dead soldiers in the Beidi Army. It seems that they are the people."

Lu Zheyu said: "If it is a dead soldier, if they don't return to the camp on time, then the mission has failed. Beidi must have other plans."

Feng Yang asked: "What are you planning, Young Master?"

Lu Zheyu walked up to those corpses, looked at them indifferently, and said lightly: "Take off their clothes and dispose of the corpses."

Twenty days later.

Yecheng.royal palace.Bixiao Palace.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Yu Deye quickly walked into the hall, bowed and said, "There is a postman outside asking to see you, saying that the frontier has sent an urgent report from eight hundred miles away."

Emperor Chongde raised his head and put down the vermilion pen: "Quick, hurry up and declare."

The post soldiers enter the hall and bow down, and the general submits the report.Yu Deye took it.Emperor Chongde opened it and looked happy.

"Your Majesty, did General Lu win the battle?" Yu Deye asked tentatively.

Emperor Chongde nodded: "The Beidi army was defeated and asked for peace, but they sent dead soldiers disguised as envoys with the intention of poisoning them. They ordered the elite troops to ambush near their camp, wiped them out in one fell swoop, and captured their general Isilein."

Yu Deye said with a smile on his face: "As expected, General Lu won the battle in three months. As expected, he was born in Dingyuan Houfu. He is really a young talent. Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Emperor Chongde smiled and smiled, but gradually suppressed his smile when he heard the words "Dingyuanhoufu". It is really thanks to the loyal family of Marquis Dingyuan."

A man dressed as a guard trotted into the mansion, and was about to push the door, but was stopped by the housekeeper at the door.The steward recognized this person as a spy placed in the palace, so he said, "My lord is still taking a nap, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

The guard said hurriedly: "It's a military report from Lizhou, it's very important, you must inform Mr. Han immediately."

The butler thought for a while and said, "Wait, I'll go and see if your lord is awake first."

Woke up softly by the housekeeper, Han Qingsleep sat up with sleepy eyes, her hair was disheveled, her complexion was already dark, plus she was getting older, and when she frowned, the creases on her face were thicker than those on dumpling wrappers. many.

Han Qing asked impatiently, "When did you panic?"

The housekeeper bowed his head and said respectfully: "The spies came to report, it seems to be news from Lizhou."

Han Qing woke up instantly: "It's such an important matter, why don't you hurry up and let people in!"

The guard was passed in, whispered a few words in Han Qing's ear, and then stood aside with his hands down, waiting for orders.

Han Qing gradually narrowed his eyes: "It's only been three months, and I won so quickly... I really underestimated this young master of the Dingyuan Hou Mansion." Then he looked up at the little guard again, "Your Majesty What should I say?"

The guard thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty seems to be quite happy, nothing else..."

Han Qing sneered, and his voice was old and hoarse: "It's nothing? That's not okay."

The guard asked cautiously: "My lord, what else do you need to do?"

Han Qing glanced at him, very contemptuously: "What can you do as a young man?" He was about to get out of bed, but the housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward to put on boots for him.

Han Qing continued: "Let's go, let's go to the palace. The young master of Dingyuanhou's mansion won the battle, why don't we congratulate our majesty?"
