Chapter 55 Entry of Missions

Li Dynasty, Yen Bai County.

In the Li army camp, the sound of shouting and killing drills could be heard all the time.

The soldiers coming and going in the camp all had gloomy faces and hurried steps. The camp was filled with an extremely urgent and depressing atmosphere. Anyone who walked in here would feel out of breath.

Since the defeat of Yongzhou, the Li Dynasty lost the best places in the four northern states and many dangerous places. Because the army was defeated, it was lost to the Yun army in a confused manner.

In this way, Yen Bai County became the last barrier for Thang Long Palace, the capital of the Li Dynasty, resisting the Yun Kingdom's military fronts from the east and the north.

In the commander's tent of the Anpei County camp, Lieutenant Chen Feng was sitting in the commanding position, concentrating on handling the military affairs at hand.

After the defeat of Xiushan County, the army that the Li Dynasty finally managed to collect was once again depleted. In order to prevent Yun Guo from retaliating with troops, Chen Feng has been using the remaining family foundation of the Li Dynasty to consolidate and stabilize Yen Bai County as much as possible.

Line of defense.

Perhaps because of the days of training, Chen Feng was now much thinner than before, and his complexion was slightly haggard. He no longer had the same fighting spirit and unwillingness to admit defeat as before.

Chen Feng put down the military report written in his hand that a small group of elite Yun troops were attacking and requesting troops to be stationed. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

All the soldiers and horses he can send out have been dispatched. Now even in the entire Anbai County camp, there are basically only some untrained recruits who have recently joined the army. How can there be soldiers and horses?

Transferred!

Just as Chen Feng was worried, the shouts of killing outside the commander's tent suddenly weakened, and then there was a faint noise.

After a while, the noise became louder and louder, and the sound of soldiers practicing became weaker and weaker, and finally stopped. Only the noisy noise seemed to be heard in the camp.

When Chen Feng heard the movement outside, he frowned, raised his head and said:

"What's going on outside?"

The soldiers and staff in the tent shook their heads.

Chen Feng frowned, stood up and led everyone out of the commander's tent, when he bumped into a general and ran towards the commander's tent happily.

Chen Feng looked at the camp. The soldiers either cheered loudly and got carried away, or they kept scolding and looked at the cheering colleagues around them with a look of shame.

"What's going on?" Chen Feng's face sank slightly and he asked the general who came.

The general who came looked happy and said:

"Lieutenant, there is news from the court that Yun State has agreed to peace talks!"

When Chen Feng heard this, he staggered suddenly and almost fell down.

"What did you say?" Chen Feng asked in disbelief.

The general thought that Chen Feng had not heard clearly, so he spoke again:

"Lieutenant, Yun Guo has agreed to peace talks, we can breathe a sigh of relief!"

Chen Feng looked at the generals with happy faces, and then at the soldiers in the camp who were mostly cheering because they were not fighting against Yun Guo. His face instantly turned from pale to red, with anger, unwillingness, and disappointment in his chest, and many emotions rushing into his heart.

.

In the end, his eyes were opened, and with a "pop" sound, a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth, and his whole body suddenly leaned back.

"Lieutenant!" The soldiers beside him rushed forward and supported Chen Feng.

Chen Feng's mouth was filled with blood, and his breathing was extremely rapid. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something. But before he could finish speaking, his vision went black and he fainted.

The soldiers and staff around him suddenly became anxious and kept shouting:

"Lieutenant! Taiwei! What's wrong with you?"

"Quick, call the doctor!"

How did everyone expect that such a sudden change would occur? The last supporter of the Li Dynasty army, Lieutenant Chen Feng, fell down like this.

The entire Anbai County camp suddenly fell into chaos.

It wasn't until the evening that Chen Feng, who was so angry and upset, finally woke up and turned around. When he saw the figure waiting beside his bed, he couldn't help but be startled and said:

"Didn't you escort the delegation to Zhongqing City in Yun Kingdom? Why are you here!"

Chen Liyan looked at the weak and thin father in front of him, a complex look flashed in his eyes, he stepped forward to help Chen Feng up from the bed, and said:

"On the other side of the Yun Kingdom, let our country and the Xia Kingdom form a tripartite agreement. The imperial court knew that the Xia Kingdom's envoy was about to enter the territory of the Yun Kingdom, and was worried that they would not be able to catch up, so they hurriedly selected new people and organized a new mission.

I still lead the troops and are responsible for the safety of the mission, so there is no need to return to Beijing. I just need to stay in Yen Bai County and wait for the meeting with the new mission."

When Chen Feng heard this, his face became stiff and he lowered his head and said:

"It's my father's fault that you have to endure this humiliation..."

Chen Liyan's identity is very special, he is the only son of Chen Feng.

There were so many young generals in the court, but Chen Liyan was named twice in succession to serve as the general guarding the mission. He went to Yun State to endure the humiliation. Naturally, it was because he was dragged down by Chen Feng.

Some people blamed Chen Feng for the two consecutive tragic defeats. It was only because of the strong guarantee given by Li Weining, the king of Li Dynasty, that they had no choice but to anger Chen Liyan.

Chen Liyan looked at his father and said in a low voice:

"Our country's envoys came to the capital of Yun State to seek peace, but they did not even see the Emperor of Yun State. The officials in charge of the peace talks in Yun State directly put forward the terms of the peace talks and even set a deadline without any hesitation.

There is no room left, just waiting for our nod. His unruly and contemptuous meaning is clearly revealed..."

When Chen Liyan said this, his face became heavier and aggrieved, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"But even these are not the things that I feel the most shameful. What I feel most shameful is that after the court heard that the Xia State's envoy was about to arrive, they were afraid that the delay would cause the Yun State's dissatisfaction, so they made a decision before the envoy.

When I returned, I organized a new mission!"

When Chen Feng heard his son say this, his face was extremely bitter and he also said:

"Everyone in the country, whether they are high officials or small soldiers in the army, are afraid of the Yun Kingdom like a tiger and do not dare to show any hostility. Do they think that a piece of paper can maintain peace for how long? Bend and kneel in exchange for a peaceful night's sleep.

, and then I realized again, the Yun Army has arrived again! This really makes me..."

But halfway through speaking, Chen Feng couldn't help but froze, and his face turned gray again.

"All the blame still lies with me. If Xiushan County was not eager to win in this battle, how could it have destroyed the last foundation of my army..."

When Chen Liyan heard his father say this, he frowned and said:

"In such a situation, my father still has time to feel sorry for himself? Did the king blame his father? Instead, he handed over the Yen Bai County camp to his hands again. Then he should cheer up, rectify his troops, and consolidate his defense lines for the future.

!”

Being scolded like this by his son, Chen Feng was not only not angry, but his eyes turned red, and he felt even more relieved. He shook Chen Liyan's hand happily and said:

"Okay, you're right!"

Chen Liyan looked at his father, who had never looked so weak since he could remember. His throat was a little choked and he subconsciously turned his head away.

Chen Fengqiang sat up straight and said:

"By the way, do you know who is in charge of the Xia Kingdom's mission this time? Is it the third prince of the Xia Kingdom, Prince Jin, the seventh prince, Prince Gui, or the eleventh prince, Prince Ning?"

Since it is a formal peace talk, according to the current Xia Emperor's thoughts, a prince must be sent as the chief envoy. The two people Chen Feng mentioned at this time are both good at communication and good at dancing among the princes of Xia Kingdom.

Chen Liyan shook his head and said:

"No, it is said that the leader of the team is Prince Qi, the Nineteenth Prince! And it is said that the Fourteenth Princess who was sent by Emperor Xia to marry is also coming with her."

Chen Feng heard this, thought about it for a moment, suddenly chuckled and said:

"really!"

Chen Liyan was stunned and couldn't help but ask:

"What's true?"

"The three princes of Xia Kingdom I just mentioned are all well-rounded and considerate people. If Emperor Xia sends them here, it will be a sincere peace negotiation. But if King Naqi is sent here, it will not be so easy!"

When Chen Liyan heard this, he suddenly remembered and said:

"Speaking of which, I remember that this King Qi seems to be the commander-in-chief of the Xia Army who led the army to attack Yun State before?"

Chen Feng nodded and said:

"Yes, that's him. Before the four states were lost, our country directly bordered the Xia Kingdom, so I had fought against King Qi several times. This was a master who couldn't bear to lose. The Emperor of Xia sent him here, but only

I'm afraid he has the intention to let his temper go, let him cause trouble in the Yun Kingdom, and bring shame to the Yun Kingdom!"

"So, what does father mean?"

"Search for the right moment, add fuel to the flames, and sow discord!" Chen Feng said in a deep voice.

"The two countries, Yun and Xia, have forced a truce at this time because they have their own problems in the country. The two sides will not take action now, but the accumulated conflicts will promote the outbreak of the next conflict. When one party frees up its hands, both sides will inevitably

There is a big war. At that time, it will be our country’s opportunity to dynasty!"

After hearing what Chen Feng said, Chen Liyan's eyes became solemn and he nodded:

"I see!"

"My father still has some capable people, and they will all be transferred to you this time. This matter is very likely to be the key to the survival of our country. You must not make any mistakes!"

Chen Liyan looked extremely serious, held Chen Feng's thin and withered palm tightly, and nodded solemnly.

-------------------

King Qi sat on the horse and looked back at the majestic Sanping Pass behind him. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said to the soldiers around him:

"Such a great gate in the world was not able to stop Emperor Yun in the first place? If it wasn't absolutely true, who would dare to believe it?"

When the soldiers heard this, they also said:

"I once went to inquire with the border army brothers who were stationed at Sanping Pass. It is really unbelievable to say that Emperor Yun Guo used force to forcefully break the door open!"

When King Qi heard this, he sighed with a heavy heart and said:

"Land gods, warriors in the realm of land gods! The Emperor of Yun Kingdom is only fifteen this year. Even if he practiced cultivation in his mother's womb, he would only be sixteen years old!"

The soldiers around me felt sorry for each other and said:

"Beyond the Sanping Pass is the boundary of the Yun Kingdom, so the border troops and people here can often hear rumors from the Yun Kingdom. It is said that many people saw clouds and mist gathering behind the Emperor of the Yun Kingdom, and a divine dragon hovering in it.

"

King Qi showed disdain and sneered:

"It's just a little trick to fool the people. Who would think of such outrageous rumors..."

But halfway through, even he himself couldn't speak anymore.

The rhetoric of the divine dragon protecting the body is very outrageous. But it is also extremely outrageous to smash open the city gate with the power of just one person. No matter how outrageous it is, according to the investigation of Xia Guochaotang, this matter is just

It's absolutely true.

King Qi sighed, shook his head and said:

"This Emperor of Yun Kingdom is really outrageous!"

The soldier heard this and nodded in agreement.

King Qi shook his head and said:

"Forget it, go back. How much does the Emperor of the Yun Kingdom weigh? You can find out by going to Zhongqing City this time!"

After saying that, King Qi clamped his horse's belly under his crotch, led several soldiers around him, and headed towards the envoy's main force.

At this time, on the official road in front of Sanping Pass, more than a thousand elite Xia troops escorted a large convoy of envoys, waiting here quietly.

King Qi rode up, reined in the horse for the last time, looked around the motorcade, raised his eyebrows, and asked the deputy envoy:

"Not back yet?"

The deputy envoy of the mission was a gentle civil servant. When he heard about King Qi’s culture, he helplessly spread his hands and said:

"Yes! The two sides couldn't argue. If they couldn't fight with each other, they went over there to fight with each other under the leadership of the leading disciples."

King Qi looked up in the direction pointed by the deputy envoy.

Then I saw a lot of dust rising over there, and I could vaguely see the figure of a person flying quickly among them, displaying the two martial arts. At first glance, it looked like they were tit for tat, fighting each other.

King Qi shook his riding whip and asked boredly:

"What's the reason this time?"

The deputy envoy of the mission sighed softly and said:

"Isn't it still the same topic that has been debated over and over again! Legalist disciples advocate the theory of human nature of 'loving benefits and hating harms', emphasizing the rule of law to restrain the world. Confucian disciples advocate 'rule by etiquette, rule by virtue, and rule by people', which can make

The country is stable."

King Qi wanted to laugh a little, so he shook his head and said:

"How many years have we been arguing about this? No one admits defeat, and the party who can't overcome it will take the initiative to take action. In the end, you don't have to use force to convince others? You talk about 'rule by etiquette' and 'rule by law' all the time. It's really funny..."

Upon hearing this, the deputy envoy of the mission nodded with approval and said:

"That's right! If you want to lower your official rank, you should govern the country with simplicity and let nature take its course! No matter what kind of rule of law or rule of etiquette, it is better to govern by doing nothing!"

King Qi's mouth twitched and he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

I forgot that he was a Taoist.

King Qi shook his head and ignored the group of Bai family members who were stunned by fighting demons. He drove his horse to a gorgeous carriage in the motorcade, his face softened and he said in a gentle tone:

"Yingyao, let's go!"

Beside the carriage, a palace maid raised her eyebrows, looked at King Qi and said:

"Your Highness King Qi, don't you need to wait for them?"

King Qi looked at the palace maid and said warmly:

"The two disciples who came together are elite disciples of various schools with advanced martial arts skills. They can catch up."

When King Qi said this, a meaningful smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he continued:

"Anyway, they are the disciples sent to Jixia Academy. I don't care what they do... Emperor Yun wants hundreds of families to work for him, so he has to swallow the bitter fruit of hundreds of families fighting and criticizing each other!"

King Qi gave an order, and the Xia Kingdom's envoy's convoy moved slowly, formally entering the territory of Yun Kingdom, and slowly headed towards Zhongqing City.
