Huo Shengnan smiled and said: "Then I will help them!" She took out an iron-tyred slingshot from her leather bag, picked up a projectile the size of a grape, looked at the position of the opponent's flag bearer, and her eyes fell on the flag bearer's horse.
On top of his mount, he shot out at the right moment.
The projectile was shot out. Although the two sides were half a mile apart, the range of the slingshot at such a distance was theoretically out of reach. However, Huo Shengnan's slingshot was specially made, and after practicing the Sun Shooting Scripture, she could already
Containing internal force into the projectile, the range doubled, and the projectile accurately hit the tail of the flag bearer's horse.
The horse screamed, spread its hooves and galloped forward. Before the flag bearer from Xichuan could figure out what happened, he was led by the horse and ran forward at high speed. He held the horse's rein with one hand,
Holding the flag high in one hand, after all, it is his duty to hold the flag and protect it. He cannot drop the flag easily at any time.
The soldiers in Xichuan didn't understand what was going on. When they saw the flag bearer suddenly running at high speed, they followed suit and followed suit, whipping their whips and running as fast as they could.
Hu Xiaotian and Huo Shengnan couldn't help laughing when they saw the scene before them, and Zhuge Guanqi couldn't help but smile. It seems that sometimes the most effective way to solve problems is to be simple and crude.
The place where the four parties agreed to hold talks is called Qingcao Garden. Although the name is elegant, when you get to the place, you feel that it is not worthy of the name. This empty place is full of loess, and there is no grass growing there. There are only a few big trees standing there.
It has long since withered. Black Sand City suffered from drought last year and the year before that. However, since this year, the weather has been smooth and the land has become full of life. But the strange thing is that this green grass garden is still barren of grass, and it still looks as lifeless as before.
Su Yuchi also had a deeper meaning in choosing this place as the location for the four-party talks. Four thousand people gathered together to be a large gathering, and most of the people coming from all directions were cavalry. Except here, there is rarely such a large open area.
, even if there is farmland, Su Yuchi certainly doesn't want to trample on people's fields because of a meeting. There is no vegetation here. The surrounding situation can be known at a glance, and it avoids anyone ambushing around.
Su Yuchi's men have already divided Qingcao Garden into four areas, named after east, west, south and north respectively. Hu Xiaotian is located in the east area.
According to the previous agreement, each side brought a team of 1,000 people to accompany them. Because Hu Xiaotian allocated 200 people to patrol the Xuanyong River, he had the smallest number among the four camps. However, the soldiers brought by Hu Xiaotian were all carefully selected.
Carefully selected, the troops are strong and the horses are strong, and every one of them is in high spirits. When it comes to the momentum of the team, they are not inferior at all.
A temporary tent has been set up in the middle of the Green Grass Garden. The four parties, including the representatives who came to negotiate, are only allowed to bring four followers. In other words, only five people from each party can enter the central tent.
Hu Xiaotian asked Huo Shengnan to take charge of the arrangements outside. He and Zhuge watched chess, and brought three more warriors into the central camp.
In the main tent, Su Yuchi had arrived first. Guo Guangbi from Xingzhou did not come in person, but his son Guo Shaoxiong came on his behalf. Li Tianheng from Xichuan also did not come in person. The person sent was Yang Daoyuan, the prefect of Xiezhou. This shows that the two
Everyone did not pay enough attention to the meeting that Su Yuchi hosted. Of course, it was also because they did not trust Su Yuchi. Hu Xiaotian had not had much interaction with these two people. After meeting, he nodded slightly, even if it was a fight.
Hello.
Yang Daoyuan had a sinister smile on his face and was polite on the surface. He didn't mention anything about the things that had just interfered with Hu Xiaotian's progress. Hu Xiaotian didn't make the matter clear either. Guo Shaoxiong, on the other hand, was a typical young and arrogant person who didn't even look at other people.
Yes, but the four followers around him looked like masters at first glance. One of them was fair-faced, kind-hearted, and kind-hearted. He was the chief wise man under Guo Guangbi, Xie Jian, known as the Literary Demon Star. Although Guo Shaoxiong appeared to be leading the team this time,
But he was the one who really made the decision.
Su Yuchi invited everyone to sit down and said with a smile: "Thanks to all the heroes for honoring me. We gather in Heisha City today to make Su's face shine."
Yang Daoyuan said: "General Su, you are so polite. You, General Su, are a famous general in Dakang. My lord has always admired General Su very much. Of course, he must give General Su this face."
Su Yuchi secretly sneered in his heart, your lord? He is just Li Tianheng, a treacherous minister. However, the three parties present are either traitors or rebels. If it were not for the livelihood of the people on this side, he would not bother to sit with these people.
Together, I suddenly remembered the conversation I had with Hu Xiaotian at Guanlan Tower last night, and I couldn't help but feel a little sad. The imperial court was indifferent to me. Seeing that the military rations were about to be in short supply, the life and death of the common people were even less concerned by the imperial court.
, if everything Hu Xiaotian said is true, then the person in charge now has become Princess Yongyang, and the emperor has passed away. The future is slim, and he can only do what he can.
Su Yuchi said: "You must already know the main purpose of Su's invitation. Summer has already entered, and the flood season for the Yongjiang River and major tributaries has also arrived..." Before he could finish his words, something suddenly sounded outside.
There was a thunder on the ground.
The thunder was like falling on the ground nearby, shaking the whole earth. Everyone was startled. When they walked into the camp just now, it was clear that the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly. Why did it suddenly thunder?
The nearly 4,000 soldiers who were waiting for the news outside were also startled by the sudden thunder. Huo Shengnan looked up and saw a thick cloud rolling in from the eastern sky. The clouds were moving at an extremely fast speed.
To cover their location, Huo Shengnan secretly admired that Mr. Zhuge was really a god. She originally thought that it would not rain today, but looking at the dark clouds covering the sky, it seemed that the rain was coming with great force.
Dark clouds were accumulating, and the hot wind began to intensify, but it still did not start to rain. Purple lightning flashed in the distant sky, and dull thunder came one after another, which shocked the soul but made people feel an indescribable feeling.
of depression.
Su Yuchi said: "There have been constant natural disasters in the past few years, and we have finally hoped for a good year. If there is a good harvest this autumn, the people will see a turn for the better and rekindle their hope in life..."
Guo Shaoxiong interrupted him unceremoniously: "What exactly does General Su want to do when he comes to us?"
Su Yuchi smiled slightly, this young man had a hot temper.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Master Guo, please be patient and listen to what General Su has to say."
Guo Shaoxiong snorted coldly, his eyes full of disdain, and said in a strange manner: "We have agreed to the four-party talks, but hospitality can also be divided into distant and distant guests. Since you have already negotiated, who are you asking us to show off to?"
Su Yuchi was startled. He heard that there was something in Guo Shaoxiong's words, and these words obviously meant something and were clearly directed at him. Could it be that his invitation to Hu Xiaotian to discuss alone in Guanlan Tower last night had been leaked? It should be so, otherwise Guo Shaoxiong
Why do you say this?
Su Yuchi said: "What do you think Mr. Guo said? When Su invited everyone here, he treated everyone equally and was absolutely unbiased."
Guo Shaoxiong laughed loudly, pointed at Hu Xiaotian and said, "Let him tell you, where did he go last night?"
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but frowned. This guy was so arrogant that he dared to point fingers at himself in public. He was clearly insulting himself on such an occasion.
Before Hu Xiaotian could speak, Zhuge Guanqi said calmly: "My lord can go wherever he wants. It seems that he doesn't have to explain to you!"
Guo Shaoxiong raised his palm and slapped it on the long case with a bang, then pointed at Zhuge Guanqi and said: "Do you have the right to speak here?"
Hu Xiaotian said coldly: "Guo Shaoxiong, even if I am here, you still have to be polite to me. Who do you think you are? It is your turn to point fingers here?"
Guo Shaoxiong became angry when he slapped the case. Xie Jian, who was standing by, hurriedly stopped him and said with a smile: "Don't hurt your harmony, please don't hurt your harmony."
Su Yuchi also quickly spoke up: "Everyone was invited here by Mr. Su, and we hope to give Mr. Su some face."
Hu Xiaotian chuckled and said: "General Su, I don't mean to disrespect you. You are the host. If something unpleasant happens here, your face will be hurt first."
Yang Daoyuan, who had been silent, sighed and said: "Actually, I came here with sincerity before coming here, but I didn't expect that General Su still had a steelyard in his heart!" He was also mocking Su Yuchi for inviting Hu Xiaotian to meet in advance,
Things that ignore them.
Su Yuchi was secretly annoyed that he was not thoughtful enough in this matter. He met with Hu Xiaotian in advance in order to reach a consensus. Deep in his heart, Hu Xiaotian was actually the one with the most weight, but he did not expect that the news would eventually come to an end.
It was leaked anyway. As the saying goes, there is no airtight wall in the world. This aroused the resentment of Xichuan and Xingzhou, but it was self-defeating.
Although Hu Xiaotian was provoked by Guo Shaoxiong, he was not really angry in his heart. He was just an impulsive boy. Now it was Su Yuchi's territory. Guo Shaoxiong was attacking him, but the person with a shameless face was Su Yuchi. Let's see how he dealt with it.
Su Yuchi said: "I met Mr. Hu for a private matter."
Guo Shaoxiong chuckled and said: "That means you can't see the light of day?"
Hu Xiaotian handed Zhuge Guanqi a sign, and Zhuge Guanqi understood and sighed softly: "Use the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman." The two of them sang and sang to anger Guo Shaoxiong. This peace negotiation was a big deal for Hu Xiaotian.
Not important, he found that Guo Shaoxiong and Yang Daoyuan were not sincere enough, so he immediately decided to stimulate them appropriately and let them reveal their true purpose.
I, Zhang Shiyilang, am back again, so... is it destined by God? (To be continued.)
