Liu Qinghan frowned and was about to speak, but I was almost knocked down by those people. At this time, he suddenly sneered and said: "It turns out that in the eyes of the general, handing me over to the emperor is a great achievement. If I had known you would

Since his appetite is so small, we don’t have to prepare that big gift for the general.”

Tu Shuhan was startled and turned back to look at me.

"What did you say?"

I sneered and said nothing.

He looked at me and then at Liu Qinghan. Liu Qinghan didn't speak this time and just looked at him coldly.

Tu Shuhan pondered for a moment, then winked at the people who were holding me captive. Those people relaxed their grip slightly, and I managed to stand up straight. Tu Shuhan stepped forward and walked to me, looking at

My eyes said: "What is the great gift you are talking about?"

I just looked into his eyes and said nothing. Liu Qinghan stood next to him and said word by word: "Annihilate the 200,000 troops of the Eastern Chahe Department."

Tu Shuhan suddenly opened his eyes wide.

In those deep eyes, a cluster of flames seemed to light up.

Liu Qinghan and I were immediately overjoyed.

For such a general, the best way to ignite him is military merit. Liu Qinghan did not say let him go to war, but said "annihilate the 200,000 troops of the Eastern Chahe Department". Such a temptation was really too much for Tu Shuhan.

Too big!

However, just when we thought things were about to turn around, Tu Shuhan suddenly sneered.

Liu Qinghan and I were stunned and looked at each other again.

What does he mean?

Tu Shuhan looked at me with a sneer, then at Liu Qinghan, then turned around and walked back to the table while smiling, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the handle of the scimitar that was rubbed on the table, and said:

"This joke is really funny."

I frowned slightly: "General, do you think this is a joke?"

"Isn't it?" Tu Shuhan turned back and looked at us: "Or maybe, this is not a joke."

"..."

"This is sleep talk."

"..."

"You are talking nonsense!"

His suddenly aggravated tone frightened everyone around him, and Liu Qinghan and I were speechless for a moment.

The room suddenly became quiet.

Tu Shuhan sneered, pulled out the scimitar, sat down again, and slowly cut the leg of lamb on the plate.

The atmosphere in the room became cold again.

He is so hot and cold, which is the most unsettling thing, because you have no idea what is going on in his mind.

However, he didn't ask anyone to take me down again.

I also understood that Tu Shuhan did not really regard our words as "jokes" or "dream talk". If this was the case, he would have no need to talk nonsense to us anymore and arrest me directly. Liu Qinghan had liaison with foreign enemies.

He had the handle, and he didn't dare to act rashly. But he didn't do that, and left us here.

This proves that he actually needs us to convince him.

Thinking of this, Liu Qinghan and I looked at each other. It was obvious that he had seen through Tu Shuhan's current thoughts, so he winked at me. I nodded lightly and tentatively said to Tu Shuhan: "The general thinks that

, is it impossible for me to annihilate the 200,000 troops of Dongchahe Department?"

Tu Shuhan picked up a piece of meat with the tip of the knife and was about to put it into his mouth. When he heard what I said, he stopped moving his hand again. He squinted at me with a pair of eyes and sneered: "Miss Yan, do you really think

I am stationed in Longnan, but I don’t know anything about your affairs? There are indeed 200,000 troops in the Dongchahe Department, but they are now in Nian Baoyuze, attacking you Xichuan. Let me send troops, huh, this general

It’s not easy to borrow a knife!”

"General, do you mean that Xichuan killed someone with a borrowed knife?"

"The enemy is known, but the friends are not yet determined. If you lead your friends to kill the enemy, you will not use your own strength." Tu Shuhan sneered: "You people in Xichuan have read the military books a lot."

My heart sank slightly.

Yes, from the first time Yan Qingchen proposed a three-pronged attack to annihilate the Dongchahe tribe's army, I realized that he was borrowing a knife to kill people. For him, the Dongchahe tribe was the most obvious enemy.

As for Tu Shuhan and Luo Shi, these two people are both enemies and friends, enemies and friends. It is he who can draw the killing knife!

But he didn't expect that Tu Shuhan could see through it at a glance.

What I didn't expect was that he was so well-informed.

Of course, this is not too surprising. He is a general guarding the border. Naturally, he must know every move of the enemy. Not to mention every move of the enemy five hundred miles away, he must also be aware of the enemy's every move even thousands of miles away.

You need to be informed in order to be prepared in advance.

Therefore, he could guess the purpose of my visit with Liu Qinghan.

At this time, Liu Qinghan smiled and said to him: "The general has really good ears and eyes."

After all, people like to be wearing high hats. There was no expression on Tu Shuhan's face, but there was still a hint of amusement in his eyes. But I immediately said: "It's a pity, if the 200,000 troops from the Dongchahe Department come over,

I wonder if the general’s ears and eyes can still be so clear?”

His expression changed: "What did you say?!"

I smiled without changing my expression: "General, how big the ambition of Dongchahebu is. Don't others know? General has been fighting with them for so long. Don't you know? Now they are stationed in Nian Baoyuze, which is a few miles away from here.

A hundred miles away, but what happens after they are defeated? Do you really believe they will go south? Although Xichuan is small and exhausted, the mountainous terrain is dangerous and acts as a natural barrier. The cavalry on the grassland are not good at fighting in such terrain, so they cannot

It may really go deep into the Shu region. In contrast, the flat plains heading east are not a terrain more suitable for their cavalry operations?"

Tu Shuhan's face darkened and he said nothing.

Liu Qinghan took the opportunity to say: "However, if the general sends troops now and defeats the troops of the Dongchahe Department together with Xichuan, this will not only be a great victory, but it will also eliminate their idea of ​​marching eastward!"

"..."

"General, for this great victory, if the general returns to the court, he will receive full credit!"

Sure enough, officials still have to speak Mandarin. When Tu Shuhan heard the word "Quan Gong", his whole demeanor changed.

His eyes clearly became hot, and when he raised his head to look at Liu Qinghan, it seemed as if there was a flame burning.

I couldn't help but become nervous.

According to Pei Yuanfeng's opinion, if you can persuade Tu Shuhan, it's best not to let Luo Shi move. But whether you can persuade Tu Shuhan, success or failure depends on this!

Just as we both looked at him nervously, Tu Shuhan finally raised his head and looked at us after a long silence.

"..."

I couldn't help but clenched my fists, and my palms were covered in cold sweat.

"Here comes someone."

As soon as he opened his mouth, his tone was neither urgent nor slow, and a guard immediately stepped forward.

"In."

"Invite the two guests down and take a short rest."

Liu Qinghan and I were both stunned: "General——?"

"The two of you have come a long way, and it's been a long and dusty journey. You must be tired and exhausted." Tu Shuhan looked at us calmly, and then ordered: "Let them quickly boil hot water for the two distinguished guests to wash away the dust."

Liu Qinghan and I looked at each other.

I thought that the matter would be decided no matter what, but I didn't expect that Tu Shuhan suddenly changed the subject and actually asked us to rest first.

This——

I hesitated a little: "General, the matter of sending troops——"

Tu Shuhan had already stretched out his hand: "You two, please go ahead."

"..."

As the saying goes, guests do as they please, not to mention that we have something to ask for. Seeing that he has spoken like this, we have no other choice but to thank him and follow his guards down.

|

When I reached a fork in a long corridor, several maids walked towards me and said to me: "Madam, please come this way."

Liu Qinghan immediately asked: "Where are you taking her?"

The maids replied respectfully: "Sir, the general has ordered two distinguished guests to take a bath first."

"..."

"Don't worry, distinguished guest, we won't let you two get too far away."

"..."

I looked at Liu Qinghan and was startled, and couldn't help but smile lightly.
