Chapter 665 No need to say more
After the encounter, the two armies began to temporarily station for more than 30 miles apart.
The Ghost Army was blocked, and the Xuan Army was also dragged here. King Xuan did not dare to mobilize easily, otherwise the Ghost King would bypass Guangyuan from here and enter Anyang.
night.
The Xuan Army camp was heavily guarded. Every once in a while, rows of long-salted soldiers would patrol back and forth, and many secret sentries were arranged on the periphery. If the Ghost Army attacked at night, it would probably be halfway through, and warnings would come.
Due to the power of the Ghost Army cavalry, Yan Qi even set up a lot of horse-rejecting horses.
In the central army's tent, King Xuan was wearing a brocade dress, a jade hairpin and a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, reading at night with his head lamp.
"King." Soon, Xie Hongling walked in and put the tea on the table.
"Hongling." King Xuan smiled slightly, put down the bamboo slips and looked at her.
The latter said softly: "It's getting late, so take care of yourself and take a break soon."
"It's okay, it's still early." King Xuan said first, then got up and pulled Xie Hongling's hand, letting her sit beside him, and asked like a bestie: "By the way, Hongling, I want to ask you a question."
"King." Xie Hongling was obviously at a loss when the king was so close.
King Xuan looked at her, paused for a while, and asked, "Do you have someone you like?"
"Ah?" Xie Hongling was stunned, then her face turned slightly red, and she said shyly: "No...no."
"So, what does it feel like to like someone?"
"I...I don't know, maybe I miss him often..."
After Xie Hongling finished speaking, she raised her head and asked curiously: "Why did the king suddenly ask about these?"
King Xuan was silent for a moment, a hint of undetectable sadness flashed in his eyes, and then he shook his head, looking dim.
At the same time, a fast horse was galloping on the official road leading to Liaoyang.
"Go!Go—"
The soldiers were still thrusting their horses hard, obviously there was an emergency military situation.
Early the next morning.
King Xuan had just finished washing up, and before he could summon the generals to discuss the troops, a spy hurriedly came to report: "Report to the king, I discovered the envoy of the ghost clan."
"What?" Xuan Wang frowned.
The spy continued, "The man was coming to my camp with the flag of the envoy. Please decide."
The two armies fought and did not kill the envoys, so the generals below did not dare to deal with it privately.
After hearing this, King Xuan thought for a while and said, "Call Wang Su first."
"No!" The spy bowed and retreated.
Soon, Wang Su arrived hurriedly, and as soon as he came in, he bent down and bowed: "Big King."
"No need to be polite." King Xuan raised his hand and said straight to the point: "The Ghost King sent an envoy, what do you think?"
"Oh?" Wang Su raised his eyebrows first, then pondered for a moment, and said, "Watch the marching route of the Ghost Army, you should be fleeing to Anyang. Now you are blocked by our army. The Ghost King sent an envoy at this time, and his intention was,
I'm afraid it's probably because we want our army to give way, but the king can take advantage of this to lure the enemy."
"You mean..." King Xuan narrowed his eyes.
Half an hour later, the general Tan Zhen of Xuan led the ghost clan envoy into the camp.
The latter was alone, wearing interracial costumes, with a hooked nose and deep eye sockets. After entering the Xuanjun camp, it was a deer-headed and mouse-eyed look, looking around from time to time.
Seeing this, Tan Zhen sneered and asked, "What are you looking at? Isn't it because of the name of the messenger, but it's actually a spy on military intelligence?"
"No, no, no, the general misunderstood." The envoy of the ghost clan waved his hand quickly and said in a stiff Central Plains speech: "I am here to represent His Majesty the King, and I sincerely meet with King Xuan to discuss the affairs of the two armies."
"Hmph!" Tan Zhen sneered again, and as he spoke, he also came to the central army's tent, pressed the knife with his left hand, and stretched out his right hand, "Please!"
"Thank you, thank you..." The devil nodded quickly and then picked up the curtain.
In the tent, King Xuan is located directly above the commander.
The generals had already gathered together, standing on the left and right, each with armor and cloaks and fighting swords hanging on his waist. Naturally, he glared at the arrival of the ghost messenger, looking like a fierce and evil look.
Seeing this, the latter couldn't help swallowing, then calmed down, stepped forward, stood in the middle, stroked his chest with his hands, bent down and bowed to give a deep salute: "The outside envoy, I have seen King Xuan."
Your Highness.”
His language is not fluent, but it can also be heard clearly.
There was no expression on King Xuan's face, and his voice was plain: "No need to be polite. You are an envoy of the ghost clan. Now that the two armies are fighting, you come to ask for my visit. You are quite brave."
"Haha." Ono smiled and said, "It is because our king, who knows that Xuan is a country of etiquette and knows that Your Highness is a person who understands the overall situation, so I came to discuss with Your Highness."
"No need to wear a tall hat." King Xuan smiled coldly, still tepid: "What is the messenger here? Let's say, if you can't speak, please try the sword."
Her tone was plain, but she was loud and loud, with extremely strong penetrating power, and had an invisible pressure.
As soon as she finished speaking, the generals on both sides pressed the hilt of the sword at her waist with their hands, as if they were ready to draw the sword at any time.
Seeing this, Ono was startled at first, and then hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the two armies suddenly encountered each other yesterday. It was a surprise. Our King, you don't know that it was Your Highness, otherwise you would never use troops. Now,
I hope Your Highness can resolve this misunderstanding with us. Everyone is in peace and going their own way. I wonder what Your Highness wants.”
"What does this mean?" King Xuan said: "The Ghost King wants my Xuan army to evacuate here. Let you leave, right?"
"Haha." Ono laughed dryly and said, "There is no need for this war to happen at all. Your Highness just imagine that our army now has more than 200,000 elite troops. If it really continues, it will be of no benefit to everyone. It would be better to just do this.
Don't worry, we will definitely offer you a great gift."
King Xuan smiled and was angry: "What if I don't agree?"
"Your Highness." Ono was a little anxious: "This is a thing that is beneficial to everyone. If your Highness is willing, not only will there be no loss, but there will be a lot of gold. On the contrary, if you have to fight, your army will undoubtedly suffer casualties.
It's so heavy."
"You are threatening me!" Hearing this, King Xuan's face suddenly turned cold, as cold as ice.
"No, no, no." Ono waved his hand and said, "It is only based on the fact that your highness should be clear about the combat power of our army, and his troops are even more dominant. If the war between the two sides starts again, the consequences can be imagined. Your Highness,
You are a wise king and will never take advantage of the bad ones."
"I'm afraid you'll really disappoint you!" King Xuan said coldly: "You ghost clan invaded the Central Plains and harmed many of my compatriots! The bones of several cities are piled up like mountains! Hundreds of thousands of girls were raped and killed by you! Such a demon
Behavior is hard tolerated! If I give way to this and let you go, wouldn’t I become a national sinner?”
"Your Highness!" Ono became even more anxious.
He wanted to say something, but King Xuan waved his sleeves and said, "No need to say too much! If you don't retreat, your head will be unsecured!"
"But Your Highness..."
Ono was reluctant to give up, but just as he was about to speak again, the Xuan generals were already glaring and sweeping over, and at the same time, the battle sword was half-pulled.
