The question was not answered, Agui still stared at Zhou Yafu whose expression changed drastically.
The long sword in his hand buzzed, a blue arc of light flashed faintly, and he was full of fighting spirit.
"Okay, Agui!"
A low voice sounded faintly in the room, and along with the scholar's soft cough, the tense atmosphere in the room suddenly disappeared.
Agui smiled slightly and took a step back. After holding a sword flower in his hand, the light of the long blue sword suddenly dissipated and was put into the scabbard with a swipe.
The tip of the sword left the tip of his brow, and the overwhelming cold air immediately dissipated.
Zhou Yafu, who was soaked with cold sweat, suddenly let out a long breath. He raised his hand and wiped his eyes that were covered with sweat. His eyes were filled with awe as he looked at the warrior who had pushed away three meters away.
Shocked.
"Okay, good work!"
Zhou Yafu swallowed his saliva, forced out a smile with difficulty, raised his hands and said to Agui.
Agui smiled slightly, returned his hand and said, "General, I accept it!"
Zhou Yafu shook his head, smiled, and admitted defeat openly: "What's the concession? If you lose, you lose. It's not embarrassing to lose to you. I can brag to others when I get back. I fought against Ximen Chuixue and I'm still alive."
Good job, I’m sure those envious grandsons will get pink eye! Haha!”
After saying this, Zhou Yafu completely let go of the unhappiness in his heart and burst into laughter.
Turning his head, he looked at the military advisor who was sitting on a chair, sipping tea leisurely. Zhou Yafu said sincerely: "Military advisor, I am so reckless, I hope you will forgive me!"
"General, don't be like this. From now on, you and I are comrades on the same front. We are a family! If a family says such things again, it will be a scandal!" Lu Heng waved his hand and pointed to the chair opposite with a smile.
: "Don't just stand around, sit down!"
Zhou Yafu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head. He walked over and sat down firmly.
Lu Heng personally picked up the teapot and poured a new cup of tea for Zhou Yafu: "Brick tea is very popular among the Turks in Hebei. Try it!"
Seeing Lu Heng pouring tea for himself, Zhou Yafu became anxious and quickly reached out to take the teapot from Lu Heng's hand and filled it with Lu Heng.
Only then did he pick up the tea bowl and take a sip.
"How is it?" Lu Heng smiled and asked curiously.
"Hey, the wine tastes better!" Zhou Yafu wanted to say something decent, but after being mumbling for a long time, he still told the truth.
He raised his head and glanced at the military advisor secretly. He found that the military advisor was not angry. He just pointed at another copper flask and said, "If you want to drink, pour it yourself!"
Zhou Yafu breathed a sigh of relief, but still did not pick up the wine pot.
Drinking is strictly prohibited in the military camp. As the commander-in-chief, Zhou Yafu knew this. Although he was addicted to alcohol, he still followed this military order.
Seeing that he didn't go to drink, Lu Heng didn't force him anymore.
After picking up the tea cup and taking a sip, he thought for a moment and asked: "Now, who is in charge of Tokyo's defense line? How many people are there?"
Hearing the military advisor talking about important matters, Zhou Yafu looked stern, stood up, raised his hands and replied: "There are more than 50,000 people in Fu Dahai's south camp! There are thousands of oxen in the capital to defend it!"
Lu Heng nodded, holding the tea cup, his eyes slightly focused, looking at the steam rising from the tea cup: "General Zhou, where are your troops now? When will they arrive here?"
Zhou Yafu said: "Information to the military advisor, General Bei's troops are currently stationed outside the city. We only need to give the order from the military advisor to enter the city immediately!"
Lu Heng nodded slightly, stood up, walked around for a few steps, then suddenly stopped, turned his head, looked at Zhou Yafu with burning eyes, and said in a deep voice: "You don't have to join Duan Peng's troops, Zhou Yafu
!”
"Yes!" Zhou Yafu stood at attention and listened to the order.
"You will lead the Beiying Division and set off immediately. Head to Yanmen Pass and meet up with Wang Wu's troops. The two armies will take you as the commander-in-chief and wait for orders!" Lu Heng thought for a while, stared at him and said in a deep voice.
"Yanmen Pass?" Zhou Yafu was stunned and asked in confusion: "Aren't we encircling and suppressing the rebels this time? Why did you let the general go to Yanmen Pass? Oh, don't get me wrong, military advisor, the general is just confused!"
Lu Heng smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "Our goal this time is not the rebels. Of course, the rebels are only a small part of them. The general believes that a small rebel army is worthy of His Majesty's whole country."
To mobilize so many troops?"
When Zhou Yafu heard this, he lowered his head and thought carefully. After a moment, a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes, he raised his head and asked in a low voice in surprise: "Strategic Advisor, what do you mean?"
"That's right!" Seeing his expression, Lu Heng knew that the emperor's most capable general understood the profound meaning. After nodding, he smiled slightly, pointed to the north and said, "This is an unprecedented large-scale move by the imperial court.
, targeting the wolf in the north!"
After picking up the tea and taking a sip, Lu Heng raised his head, looked calm, and said calmly: "Tujue!"
It was so quiet in the room that you could hear a needle drop.
There was only Zhou Yafu's uncontrollable beating heart and the rapid breathing of everyone.
The beam of sunlight sprinkled the golden room, forming a bright beam of light.
The flying dust slowly floated in the light beam. The white spots reflected the sunlight, which was a bit dazzling.
"Yes!" After the shock, Zhou Yafu looked solemn and tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart. After taking a step back, he respectfully raised his hand and returned to Lu Heng.
Lu Heng took a deep breath, put down the tea cup that was warming his hands, stood up, walked to Zhou Yafu, reached out and patted his shoulder, and said calmly: "Rebels are not scary, and Turks are not scary either. What is scary is that they join forces.
.Once the Yanmen Defense Line is torn apart, the consequences will be disastrous. So, no matter what, the Yanmen Defense Line must not be broken through by the Turks. Even if we fight to the death, you have to defend it for me."
At the end, Lu Heng's words were already very harsh. Looking at Zhou Yafu with stern eyes, Lu Heng took a deep breath, softened his tone, and warned in a deep voice: "General Zhou, the burden on your shoulders is very heavy.
."
"Don't worry, military advisor, this humble general will definitely fulfill his mission!" Zhou Yafu's weathered face was full of determination. Seeing the expectation in the military advisor's eyes, Zhou Yafu's heart skipped a beat, and he said in a deep voice: "It's up to the person to be imprisoned, but to be imprisoned is to perish."
People die!"
Lu Heng took a deep look at him and nodded slightly. He wanted to say something like pay attention to safety, but unfortunately the Yanmen Pass defense line was too important. So, when he said it, he swallowed it back. It was just a heavy blow on his shoulder.
He pressed it and said: "Go!"
"That's right!" After Zhou Yafu finished saluting and was about to go out, Lu Heng suddenly thought of something and hurriedly called him out.
"What else does the military counselor have to say to the humble general?" Zhou Yafu stopped and asked with his hands raised.
"Qin Shihu is also in the army now, can you take him with you?" Lu Heng smiled slightly and said to Zhou Yafu.
Qin Shihu is a tough general, someone who fights with his life at risk. This time he defended Yanmen Pass with few strategies, the main focus was determination. It was a tough battle. As the saying goes, tough battles require clumsy generals.
And Qin Shihu was an indispensable clumsy general in the Yanmen defensive battle. This is why Lu Heng, at the beginning, asked the emperor to use this old general who was known as the tiger who descended from the mountain.
"Who, military advisor, are you talking about?" Zhou Yafu obviously didn't believe it, his eyes widened and he asked in surprise.
Lu Heng smiled, with a hint of confusion in his eyes, and asked with a smile: "Qin Shihu, don't you know?"
Hearing the military advisor's reaffirmation, Zhou Yafu's eyes suddenly lit up. He nodded quickly and said: "I know, I know, I'm so familiar. Haha, old man Qin, oh no, General Qin, I'm following you because I have the friendship of a comrade. I'm so familiar."
Don’t worry! Military advisor, I will definitely put him to good use! Hehe!"
As Zhou Yafu said this, he couldn't help but think of Qin Shihu who came to his house a few days ago and arrogantly said that he was a despicable villain who only knew how to use tricks. He still insisted on challenging him to a duel.
The scene of three hundred rounds of battle.
Hey, old man Qin, this time you fall into my hands, let’s see how I deal with you!
"The army will set off in three days and is expected to arrive in Shanxi in seven days. So, General Zhou, you must reach Yanmen Pass within ten days. Can you do it?" Lu Heng stared at him and asked in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, military advisor, I will reach Yanmen Pass within nine days even if I break my leg!" Zhou Yafu said in a deep voice with a voice like thunder.
Lu Heng nodded, turned around, walked to the table, picked up the teapot, and filled a cup of tea. Then he walked up to Zhou Yafu with the teacup in hand, and sent the teacup to Zhou Yafu, staring at the man in front of him.
A veteran general who has made great achievements in battle: "Drinking is strictly prohibited in the army. Lv used tea instead of wine to support General Zhou and your men. I wish General Zhou a great victory!"
Looking at the military advisor's expectant eyes, Zhou Yafu nodded, took the tea cup, raised his head and drank it all.
"I'll take my leave, general!"
After drinking tea, Zhou Yafu didn't stop for a moment. He turned around and strode towards the outside of the government office.
Looking outside the door, General Zhou with flying white beard and firm and powerful steps. Lu Heng's calm mood was gradually ignited. He took a deep breath, looked outside at the yellow sky with flying sand, and sighed.
A voice: "The army travels with thousands of chariots, carrying Yan to the south and Zhao to the north, swordsmen and wizards!"
Beside them, Agui and others looked solemn, like statues, motionless.
"Come here!" Lu Heng looked back, walked to the chair, sat down slowly, and said lightly.
"Yes!" The soldier outside the door came forward and knelt on one knee.
"General Duan Peng of Huaihua and General Wang Xirang of Xuanwei rushed to the government office immediately to discuss the matter!" Lu Heng's eyes were calm and his voice was clear and powerful.
"yes!"
The soldier took the order in a deep voice and left.
Outside, the cold wind was biting, and the whistling wind stirred up the sand and dust on the ground, blocking out the sun and filling the sky with yellow sand.
