————The following text——

That night, Wang Zheng took the risk of leading a thousand soldiers to sneak out of the city and headed to the western loess plateau to cut down trees.

Although they were extremely cautious, cutting down trees would inevitably make noise. How could this not attract the attention of the Qin army in the Weishui area?

Soon, a thousand general under Miao Lin found out the intentions of Wang Zheng's team and immediately sent people to the lieutenant general to report to Ying Qian.

"Qi Qian Zheng, some patrol soldiers discovered that the old Liang sent people to secretly cut down trees from the Western Mountains."

If it were on weekdays, Ying Qian would have been very happy, after all, this means that there was not much wood left in the old Liang City.

Without wood, the military and civilians in the old Liang City could not burn firewood to keep warm, nor could they boil water and rice. Even if they could use snow and dry food to fill their hunger for a while, it would definitely not last a few days.

But at this moment he couldn't be happy.

"I know." He said expressionlessly: "The command of the soldiers in the army, don't... ignore it."

The soldiers who came to report the news were stunned and asked in surprise: "Will you not send someone to expel?"

Ying Qian's brows suddenly became cold, and anger flashed in his eyes. Seeing this, Miao Lin, who was sitting in the tent, quickly scolded: "Just follow the order, don't ask more questions!"

"yes!"

The soldier was startled and turned around and left.

As soon as he walked out of the central army tent, Ying Qian slapped the table in front of him and gritted his teeth.

"Stop the anger..."

Miao Lin hurriedly persuaded him.

He could imagine how annoyed Ying Qian was at this moment. Although the old Liang was besieged by them for a long time, the city was about to be destroyed. Unexpectedly, the king of Qin was captured by the opponent's surprise soldiers, so that this war that he would win was inexplicably lost.

Not to mention that Ying Qian could not accept it, Miao Lin herself couldn't believe it.

But whether they are willing or not, the monarch of their own country has fallen into the hands of the opposite party. Unless they want to bear the reputation of "stolen the Lord", they can only hold on for the time being and wait for negotiations with Shaoliang.

The unmoved army of Miao Lin's army made Wang Zheng, who led people to cut down trees on the western loess plateau, feel inexplicably.

Although the wind was really loud tonight, there was no sound of hundreds of axes chopping on the trees, and the Qin army in the Weishui area could not have heard any of them?

At the same time, Zhai Huzheng, Wu Kang and Zhang Ben stood on the city wall together, ready to lead the army out of the city to meet Wang Zheng at any time.

But for some reason, the Qin army on the other side of the Qingshui River stopped moving, as if deaf, and no one heard the crackling sound from the Western Loess Plateau - even they could hear the sound of cutting trees coming from there.

"Is the Qin army suddenly deaf?" Wu Kang said suspiciously.

"How could it be?" Zhang Ben was amused and touched his chin and thought, "Maybe there be any tricks?"

But he couldn't say anything about the trick. After all, according to common sense, it was impossible for the Qin army to send people to expel Wang Zheng's team.

From the side, Zhai Hu stared at the Qin army camp on the other side of the river. He suddenly raised his hand and pointed his fingers, and gradually showed a look of surprise but unbelievable appearance on his face.

Wu Kang asked in confusion: "Sir Zhai Hu, what are you doing?"

Zhai Hu said with a smile: "I am counting the day when Li He and others leave..."

Wu Kang seemed to have thought of something and said in surprise: "Can it be..."

"Shh." Zhai Hu raised a finger and said, "Don't make a sound for the time being, so as not to be happy."

Zhang Ben looked around and lowered his voice, "But didn't Li He and the others leave until the thirteenth day? It's only fourteen days and nights... it's not that fast, right?"

"It's almost done."

Zhai Hu smiled and said, "Since the establishment of the system, the surprise soldiers have been aiming to overcome the Wei Wu soldiers. Wei Wu soldiers can travel a hundred miles a day, but how could Li He's surprise soldiers be inferior? Shaoliang is only 500 miles away from Liyang. Considering the inconvenience of movement in the snow, Li He and the others can reach Liyang within seven or eight days at most."

In fact, he underestimated the movement of the surprise troops. In fact, the surprise troops led by Li He only took more than five days, but it was an envoy sent by Liyang. It took only eight days to deliver the news of the attack on Liyang to Ying Qian.

It is no wonder that after all, the strange soldiers were walking straight shortcuts while wading through mountains and rivers. Although the envoys sent by Liyang were riding in a carriage, they were walking on a winding road. When the weather was cold and the road was blocked with heavy snow, it was not easy to send news from Liyang to the Jiuliang area within eight days. You should know that Li He's team was also riding in a carriage, and he was still crawling in a turtle in Heyang area.

But even though Zhai Hu underestimated the movement of the surprise soldiers, Wu Kang and Zhang Ben still felt incredible. After all, they were also generals and knew very well how difficult it was to travel a hundred miles a day.

"Don't make a statement first, we'll know in a few days."

"Um!"

About an hour later, Wang Zheng brought the thousand soldiers and brought a lot of wood back to the city.

He said to Zhai Hu in surprise: "For some reason, the Qin army will expel it in the future."

Zhai Hu then told Wang Zheng about his guess, and only Wang Zheng was surprised and happy.

An idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and he lowered his voice and said, "It is not difficult to find out this matter. After dawn, I will lead people to cut some wood to the west. If the Qin army still ignores it, it will indicate..."

"This idea is good." Zhai Hu nodded and praised.

So on the morning of November 28, Wang Zheng led another 500 people to the West Mountain. This time he deliberately left the city from the South City Gate and went to the West Mountain in front of the Qin army.

A Qin army soldier immediately reported the matter to Miao Lin.

When Miao Lin went to the central army tent, Ying Qian was lying on the sleeper to read a book. Miao Lin said the matter and said carefully: "It seems that our side's will last night, and the old city noticed something. They deliberately tried..."

"snort!"

Ying Qian snorted coldly and said with a calm face: "When the king arrives in the old Liang area, come and report to me again."

"yes!"

Miao Lin left the central army tent as he said, and Ying Qian also lay on the sleeper to read a book. As he looked, he smashed the bamboo book in his hand and pulled the blanket to fall asleep in a state of irritation.

Therefore, the Qin army in the Weishui area ignored Wang Zheng.

Seeing this, Zhai Hu and Wang Zheng were inexplicably surprised, but because the matter was not clear, they did not dare to make a statement, so as not to make the city happy and instead ruin their morale.

On that day, Li He's team of thirty carriages passed through Heyang and crossed Xushui.

Xun Xia was stationed in Xushui, but he had received Ying Qian's order. Although he felt unbelievable, he could only let the team of thirty carriages cross the river.

Immediately, Li He and his party passed by Dongliang again and arrived in the area of ​​Old Liang early the next morning.

At this time, Ying Qian had already learned the news in advance and led many Qin troops to block Li He and his party's must-pass path.

"Brother Li, there is a Qin army blocking the way ahead."

Hu Ben, who was driving, quickly reminded Li He.

Li He lifted the curtain and glanced at it, then saw Ying Qian standing in the middle of the road, and ordered: "It's okay."

At the warning of Li He, Hu Ben slowly lowered the speed of the carriage and stopped in front of Ying Qian and the numerous Qin troops.

At this time, Ying Qian also saw Li He and snorted coldly with an expressionless face: "Li He, I remember you... I hope my monarch of the Qin Dynasty is safe and sound, otherwise I will chop you into meat paste!"

Li He raised his eyebrows, disregarded himself, pointed to the carriage and said, "The king of your country is in the car."

He lifted the curtain of the car to let go a little, so that Ying Qian could see the King of Qin and Wei Yang sitting in the car.

Compared with the previous few days, the monarch and ministers looked a little haggard. After all, the car was exhausted along the way and they ate cold dry food. It would be strange if the monarch and ministers were in good spirits.

When brothers meet, the king and the ministers meet. Both the King and Ying Qian are a little embarrassed and don’t know what to say.

Seeing this, Wei Yang smoothed the situation as if nothing had happened: "Shao Liang asked the king to come to the meeting to discuss the dispute between the two countries, so don't delay it, so as not to spread some bad news."

Although Ying Qian was incompatible with Wei Yang, he also understood the latter's hint and turned to Li He and said hatred: "Since you Shaoliang invite the king to come to the appointment, you should treat each other with courtesy, if you are negligent..."

His face darkened, and a threatening look appeared on his face.

Unfortunately, Li He didn't take his tricks, but instead thought that the king and his ministers were very interesting: the King of Qin was obviously captured by them, but he insisted that he was invited to the meeting.

Of course he could understand, after all, Qin could not afford to lose his face.

“Let it go.”

With Ying Qian waved his hand, the Qin army blocking the road made way to both sides, allowing the team to pass.

With the eyes of Ying Qian and many Qin troops, Li He and his team's carriages slowly came outside the southern gate of the old Liang.

Just as Li He jumped out of the carriage, Wei Yang shouted at him with a nervous look: "General Li, please..."

Of course, Li He understood what he meant, nodded and walked towards the city gate, shouting loudly: "I am Li He. I invited the King of Qin to come to my Shaoliang as a guest, discussing the matter of resolute peace between the two countries, and quickly open the city gate!"

Hearing this, King Qin and Wei Yang on the carriage both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Li Wubai General?"

"It's Li Wubai General... King of Qin? General of Li Wubai invited the King of Qin?"

"hiss--"

There was a lot of discussion in the city, and then a small head appeared on the city. It turned out that Liang Ji heard Li He's voice and was looking down at the city with her feet. After seeing Li He, she shouted happily: "Li He! Li He!"

Li He also waved to her, and then he saw Dongliang Jun, Zhai Hu, Wang Zheng and others appear on the city, each with excitement.

With a loud bang, the city gate slowly opened.

A team of Shao Liang soldiers quickly left the city and lined up on both sides. Immediately, Liang Ji, Dong Liang Jun, Zhai Hu and others quickly came out.

"Li He."

To everyone's surprise, Liang Ji threw herself into Li He's arms, crying and laughing.

Even though he was excited at this moment, Dong Liangjun also twitched in the corners of his eyes. He could not imagine that Liang Ji, whom he taught himself, would be so disobedient in public.
