"Why?" Hearing the soldier's words, Shi Tinghan and Tan Du were shocked, and anxiously asked: "What happened to General Yuanhong?"
"This ?" Without waiting for the soldiers to reply, Wei Zheng walked out of the camp. Seeing the two people, he rushed forward and cupped his hands in a salute, and smiled: "I didn't know that the two masters would be arriving today, excuse me for not welcoming you!" Wei Zheng's official rank was much higher than Shi Tinghan's and Tan Tan Tan's, but the two of them were after all envoys sent by the imperial government, so Wei Zheng was still extremely courteous to them.
The two knew Wei Zheng and when they saw him, their eyes lit up. They asked softly: "General Wei, what happened to General Yuanhong?"
"Ai!" Wei Zheng pretended to sigh, and waved his hand: "Masters, let's talk after you enter the camp!" As they spoke, he brought Shi Tinghan and his owner into the Ning Army Camp. When heading to Zhangsun Yuanhong's tent, Wei Zheng said: "I presume the two of you have already heard about the matter of General Yuanhong being seriously injured during the battle between Hedong?"
Shi Tinghan and his brother also nodded their heads, then shook it and said: "Didn't you guys say that it was just a small injury?"
Wei Zheng shook his head and sighed, then said: "That was said intentionally to confuse the Feng Army, in truth, General Yuanhong's injuries were extremely serious, and he was in danger of losing his life. At that time, he should have retreated back to the country to recuperate, but General Yuanhong was not worried about the war in the Hedong, and refused to return to the capital. He would need to personally take care of everything that happened in the army, especially the two days ago when General Yuanhong predicted that the Feng Army would slip by, and set up an ambush in the West Bank to personally direct the battle. He deliberately did not finish his words, only shaking his head.
Ah!" "We heard about the war two days ago while we were on the road. General Yuan Hong had a good fight with him, but he should still take care of himself!" Right now, the only one in Ning Country who could resist the invasion of the Wind Army was Zhangsun Yuanhong. If he couldn't join the war because of his injuries, who else could defend against the Wind Army?
With Wei Zheng leading the way, the two of them arrived at Zhangsun Yuanhong's tent. When they just arrived, the two of them frowned, the tent was filled with the pungent smell of medicine, and with a sniff, their heads started to hurt. He looked inside and saw a man lying on a bed at the end of the tent. He was thin and sallow, with blue lips and a sickly face. Although it was a hot day and there was no wind in the tent, he was covered by a thick blanket and his body was trembling.
Shi Tinghan and Tan Du could not believe what was happening in front of them. Where was the burly, robust, vigorous, and unrivaled Zhangsun Yuanhong? Was the dying patient lying on the bed Zhangsun Yuanhong? The two of them were unable to react at all, and only after being stunned for a while did they regain their senses. Stretching out their trembling hands, they pointed at the patient lying on the bed, and then turned around to look at Wei Zheng, who was behind them. They seemed to be asking him, was this really Zhangsun Yuanhong?
Wei Zheng's face was filled with grief as he nodded his head slightly. Then, he carefully walked to the front of the bed, swallowed his saliva and called out softly, "General Yuanhong, General Yuanhong?"
"Oh ?" Zhangsun Yuanhong who was on the ground let out a moan that was as low as a mosquito's buzz, indicating that he heard it.
Wei Zheng said softly: "The two emissaries sent by the imperial government to negotiate with the Feng Country have come. They have specially come to the camp to visit the general."
At this time, Shi Tinghan and his master also rushed forward, kneeling by the side, she looked around carefully, and finally recognized Zhangsun Yuanhong. Thinking back to Zhangsun Yuanhong's beautiful demeanor, then looking at Zhangsun Yuanhong who was not even human, the two of them could not help but feel a sense of sorrow, their eyes became red, and tears started flowing down their faces. The two of them choked with sobs and whispered: "General Yuanhong recuperate well, there is no need to worry about the war, the two of us are only going to negotiate with the Feng Country, there will be no more wars."
Seeing that, Wei Zheng frowned, although he did not interact much with Shi Tinghan and Tan Du, but he could see that the two of them had good character, and felt that Zhangsun Yuanhong should tell the truth to the two of them, to deceive them like that was going too far.
Lying on the collapsed bed, Zhangsun Yuanhong secretly sneered as he muttered in his heart: Idiot! Would negotiation be able to stop the invasion of Feng Country to the west, it would only let the windman see the weakness of the Ning Country, and then, it would only increase his bullying of the Ning Country. The national policy of Feng Country was a wolf's way, and Feng Country was also a nation of wolves, so how could its appetite be satiated by a mere gold and silver silk?
However, Zhangsun Yuanhong did not dare to show it right now. It was not because he did not trust Shi Tinghan and his uncle, but because the two of them were scholars after all, so once they went to the Feng Army Camp, they might be able to be scared by Tang Yin and say whatever he wanted to say.
Zhangsun Yuanhong was not only good at strategy, but he also knew how his opponents were thinking. He knew that Tang Yin was extremely ambitious, and the successful outcome of the Hedong caused Tang Yin's ambitions to expand, leading to him wanting to annex the entire Ning Country. It was meaningless to negotiate with him now, as the envoys of his side would definitely be pressured by Tang Yin when they reach the wind camp. He would take this opportunity to understand through the mouth of the envoy the situation of his side in the West Bank, the state of their military and other details. Zhangsun Yuanhong decided that he would deal with it this time, he might as well trick the envoys on his side, pretend to be ill, and lure Tang Yin to attack.
His act was flawless, causing Shi Tinghan and the others to think that Zhangsun Yuanhong was about to die. When the two planned to stay in the tent for a while longer, a few military doctors walked over and changed the medicine for Zhangsun Yuanhong. Zhangsun Yuanhong's body did indeed have a wound, the knife wound on his back. Seeing the shocking and blood-red wound, Shi Tinghan and his brother secretly grinned. They turned their heads, not daring to look anymore. Wei Zheng stepped forward and said softly, "Masters, let's go out first and not disturb the general's rest any longer."
"Good, good, good!" Shi and Tan both nodded, and followed Wei Zheng out of the big tent. Now, the two of them finally understood why the Western Army that they had always been strict with discipline was so lax, and why everyone had a sorrowful look on their faces. From the looks of Zhangsun Yuanhong's current condition, he could die at any moment!
Seems like the decision to negotiate with the imperial government was right. While Zhangsun Yuanhong was still around, he had to quickly settle this matter! The two of us did not dare tarry any longer at Ning Army Camp, and we clasped our hands at Wei Zheng and said: "General Wei, the two of us must immediately rush to Hedong, and request to see Feng King to negotiate peace, General Yuanhong will trouble you to take care of us."
Wei Zheng was startled, and asked them to stay: "Sir and Madam, you came from afar, why are you leaving right after arriving at the main camp? It's better to rest for a day, and then go to the wind camp tomorrow! "
"Aiya, matters of peace are related to the survival of the nation, we cannot afford to delay them, not to mention that General Yuanhong is still ? "Sigh!" Shi Tinghan and Tan Du looked at each other, shaking their heads and sighing.
Understanding the intentions of the two, Wei Zheng did not urge them to stay any longer, he nodded and said: "That's fine, it's better to settle the peace agreement as soon as possible." After pausing for a moment, he worriedly reminded them, "Masters, the matter of General Yuanhong's illness must not be mentioned to Feng Army. Once Feng Army finds out, our army will be in danger.
"Don't worry General Wei, the two of us understand."
and his owner believed that Zhangsun Yuanhong was in serious danger, and the two panicked in their hearts, not daring to stay for a moment, they went through the Ning Army Camp and rushed straight to the Wind Camp. As they were negotiating rather than fighting, the two of them only brought less than ten attendants, and did not board the large ship. They sat on an ordinary little fish boat to cross Zhang River.
The two of them had not even landed on the shore before the Feng Soldier on the east side discovered them. They were quite a distance away from each other when the Feng Soldier shouted loudly, "What are you doing? If we continue forward, we will have to shoot arrows! "
Shi Tinghan and his owner were shocked, they anxiously went to the bow of the ship and shouted: "Brother Feng Army, do not shoot arrows, we are envoys sent by the Ning Country court, we want to negotiate with the Feng King!"
Ouch! Hearing that it was an envoy from the Ning Country, and also that they were here to negotiate, the Feng Soldier looked at each other and revealed a confused expression. The leader of the soldiers called one of his men and told him to return to the camp and report.
Not long after, the news of the Ning Country envoys coming to negotiate passed to the Central Army Tent where Tang Yin was. These two days, Tang Yin was at a loss of what to do for the war, when he suddenly heard that the Ning Country envoys wanted to discuss peace talks, he thought that it was weird, Ning Jun Wu Yi had just obtained a victory, and had the help of Maiden Linglong, who was disguised as a expert, and was at a disadvantage at the moment, why did he suddenly come to negotiate peace? In addition, negotiation was also not in line with Zhangsun Yuanhong's personality!
He did not understand what was going on in the Ning Country gourd, but since he had already sent envoys over, there was no harm in seeing it for himself. However, after thinking about it again, Tang Yin felt that the agreement made by the Ning Country envoys was fake, and wanted to find out whether or not the truth behind their own military camps. His eyes turned, and he immediately summoned his subordinates, and when all his subordinates were gathered, he told the rest of the news, which made the other generals feel very surprised, it was just right, what was the agreement on Ning Country?
Tang Yin's mouth raised, and said with a sneer: I think that the agreement of Ning Country is fake, and exploring the truth of our army is the real deal, our army cannot let the Ning people underestimate us, and pass down the order, let all the soldiers gather their spirits, and let them see the might of our army!1
"Yes!" "Great King!"
The generals followed one after another, while at the same time, Shi Tinghan and his owner who had come to negotiate with them, had their Feng Army Camp activated by the soldiers.
Just as the two of them walked into the Feng Army Camp, their hearts turned cold, as if they had been cut in half.
Whether they were looking at it horizontally, vertically or diagonally, they were all in a straight line. The soldiers were like wooden stakes, standing motionless on the ground, each of them wearing bright armor, the spears and halberds in their hands flashing with a ghastly cold light.
Whether it was the general or the soldiers below, they were all filled with vigor and killing intent, unfazed by anger, pairs of eyes stared straight at Shi Tinghan and Su Yi, eyes as though they were a pack of wolves looking at their prey, ready to pounce and tear them to shreds at any time.
