"Prince, their troops have moved!"

In the large account of the Third Prince of Wala, the ministers came to report hurriedly.

"Oh, how many people did they leave?"

"My subordinates are looking at it. Almost all the cavalry have been mobilized and left."

"Very good! Then, it will be our turn to take action next, hehehe..."

…

Under the blue sky, vast smoke and dust rolled in again.

All the soldiers up and down the Zhanghe beach immediately gathered their spirits and prepared for battle.

However, after seeing the enemy's face clearly, all the soldiers couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.

Just because it was not inferior to the cavalry formation that appeared in the morning, it was also accompanied by a large number of infantry.

This is true for the soldiers, not to mention the civil servants of the mission, palace maids, eunuchs, and logistics servants in the central area above the river beach.

In the big tent, Xiang He urgently summoned the people in charge to discuss countermeasures.

"What should I do? What should I do? The imperial envoy has not returned yet. Now, the total number of soldiers in the camp is only more than a thousand, and almost all of them are soldiers.

As for the Tatars outside, their number is at least three to four thousand, and we're afraid they won't be able to stop them.

If we let them break through the defense line, we will give up!"

The civil servants were submissive and wailed to the sky.

I originally thought that as envoys from a higher state, they would go all the way to Oara. Although the journey was a bit more difficult, at least when they arrived at Oara, they would be treated with the highest standards. Maybe they could also enjoy some exotic customs.

Who knew that now that I didn’t feel the exotic customs, I saw the alien blade first!

At this time, when I heard the comparison of strength again, the thick haze couldn't be removed, and the breath of death shrouded the body and mind.

"Master Xiang, what should we do now..."

Facing his colleagues' questioning, Xiang He smiled bitterly and steeled himself to ask about the situation.

After hearing that the enemy did not attack immediately, but surrounded them all, Xiang He sighed: "Now we can only resist with all our lives. If we can hold on until the imperial envoy or reinforcements arrive, we can still do it."

There is a glimmer of hope.

If not...

Everyone, maybe today is the time for you and I to be loyal to His Majesty and to the Wei Dynasty!"

Xiang He's words silenced everyone in the tent.

Suddenly someone said: "Master Xiang, since the enemy did not attack immediately, do you think you can find someone to go out and negotiate with the other party...

If the other party’s purpose is just to make money, then maybe we can save money and avoid disaster.”

After hearing this, many people remained silent.

Because the possibility of this is too low.

The enemy in front of us looked like a regular Tatar army, numbering in the thousands. How could it be that they were rogue bandits seeking money?

"The Sword Comes"

But the hope of surviving still made them unopposed.

Xiang He sighed inwardly. Although he knew the chance was slim, how could he be willing to die if he could live?

Perhaps, the enemy may not want to fight them to the death. After all, the total number of people in the camp is two to three thousand. If they really fight, the enemy may not be happy!

It doesn't hurt to see what their purpose is.

So Xiang He asked who dared to be an envoy.

No one answered, everyone looked at him.

Xiang He was speechless, so he could only pack up and go to the enemy's formation.

The closer Xiang He got to the enemy formation, the heavier his heart became.

Those tall and powerful horses and the dark weapons gave him a great sense of oppression.

Fortunately, the other party seemed to know his purpose and had no intention of attacking him.

After hearing his intention, a seven-foot strong man walked slowly over with a black horse on his back, his eyes stern.

"Who are you?"

The Wei State has been entangled with the Tatars and Wala for hundreds of years, and there are many people who are well versed in the Mongolian language.

On this mission, there is naturally no shortage of such people in the mission.

"I am an official of the Wei Dynasty. May I ask who you are and why you are disturbing us?"

This alliance and marriage with Oara was a military secret, and Xiang He did not take the initiative to disclose it until he was sure that the other party knew about it.

The black horse general touched the sword on his waist and deliberately let Xiang He see clearly the Tatar totem on it. The meaning is self-evident.

After making sure that Xiang He had seen clearly, he smiled and said: "Our leader has always been hospitable, and I heard that the princess of your country has come to the grassland. Our leader specially prepared drinks and ordered us to come to welcome the princess and all the distinguished guests.

I hope you will respect me and don’t betray our leader’s good intentions.”

Xu saw that what his boss said was interesting, and the soldiers on the left and right couldn't help laughing.

Some seemed to have thought of something, with lewd expressions on their faces.

Xiang He's face darkened, and his heart sank at the same time.

Even the princess knew about the other party, so he was obviously well prepared.

There is no room for maneuver in things.

He suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for your kindness, sir. It's just that I have other important matters, so I can't accompany you."

"Haha, that's not up to you."

The black horse general said something, and the knights on the left and right immediately took a step forward and looked at Xiang He with eager eyes.

Xiang He's face changed, and he said sternly: "Do you want to provoke a war between the two countries again? Have you forgotten the pain of the Wei Dynasty's conquest last year?"

The dark horse general's face turned cold, and he raised his hand to stop him. Ran He sneered and said: "How dare you speak harshly when you are about to die. Go back, I will give you a quarter of an hour, or put down your weapons and come to my grassland as a guest.

Either..."

A cruel smile appeared on the lips of the black horse general. He pulled out the sword from his waist and gently stroked it: "Or let me chop off your heads one by one."

"you……!"

After all, Xiang He was a Confucian scholar and civil servant, not good at changing things, so he suppressed his anger and returned to the camp.

Others found out about the outcome of the negotiation and were in a dilemma.

"Otherwise, we will just agree to them... Anyway, we can't defeat them..."

A man suggested in a low voice, and from his lowered head, it was not difficult to see that he understood what his proposal meant.

surrender!

If you can't fight, then surrender.

What a simple and smart choice.

Xiang He looked at him in shock, and then realized in a daze that although the others around him did not speak, their eyes expressed their same cowardice and fear of death.

"Confused! You, you are wasting your royal salary and saying such things, how can you be worthy of being a minister of my great Wei Dynasty!"

Xiang He scolded, but the man was so ashamed that he suddenly raised his head and said angrily: "Do you think I am willing to do this?

If the Imperial Envoy is still here and we still have the strength to fight, I will never propose this.

But the current situation is that the imperial envoy has taken away all the elites. What can the remaining troops do?

If we really want to fight, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold out even a stick of incense...

Does Mr. Xiang want to watch everyone die innocently?"

In the face of life and death, whether to fight or surrender, there is never the only choice.

At least, the current leaders of the camp are not all brave men who are not afraid of death and dare to sacrifice their lives for the country.

Therefore, when Xiang He was speechless by this person, others also expressed their opinions.

"By the way, why did the Imperial Envoy leave just now? Could it be that he knew something in advance, so..."

A person suddenly made a suspicious sound.

There was a sudden silence in the tent.

Everyone knows what he means.

Xiang He was stunned, "What do you mean? General Zhu was trapped in Yinmulin. The situation was urgent, and the Imperial Envoy led people to rush to rescue. This matter was decided upon by us together. Er'an dares to speculate and slander the Imperial Envoy at will!"

This place is the boundary of Oara territory, and there are people from Oara in the mission. Zhu Dahe was besieged before, and based on the location information brought back by the soldiers asking for help, they were naturally able to determine where Zhu Dahe was besieged.

Jia Lian also found a guide and took the cavalry away with the purpose of going back quickly.
