On the third day of the second month of the tenth year of Pingguang in Yanli, five days before the ancient Li year.

Outside the northwest of Yan State, the Yanqing border is very empty, except for the simple outpost towers built on both sides, there are no other buildings. However, today, a huge tent has been set up at this junction. This tent is twice as big as Han Mo's Dacheng's camp.

Five or six miles north and south of the camp, there was a cavalry of hundreds of people. Compared with the Qing State cavalry in the north, the Yan State cavalry in the south were more energetic.

Although the Qing army was ordered and did not launch an attack on Nanyang Pass, after the Wei army stabilized in Nanyang Pass, they began to attack the Qing army's positions again and again.

Lin Chengfei, the chief general of the Qing army, was well aware of the defensive way. After the Qing army missed the opportunity to capture Nanyang Pass, he guessed that the Wei army would definitely counterattack after stabilizing the position. Therefore, the construction of defensive fortifications day and night was in a hurry, and it was nothing more than digging some pits and then transporting a large number of logs across the open field attacked by the cavalry to prevent the Wei army from charging. Although the project was not big, it did cause great trouble to the Wei army. Under the leadership of Lin Chengfei, the Qing army fought continuously and defeated the Wei army's attacks again and again.

However, the Qing army suffered extremely heavy losses, and Lin Chengfei knew very well that if this continued, the Qing army would collapse sooner or later, and he himself didn't even know how long it could last.

But just two days ago, something extremely strange happened.

When he went to the capital, he actually issued an order with a flying pigeon, ordering the front-line military supervisor and general Lin Chengfei to negotiate the military alliance with the generals of the Northwest Army of Yan.

Not to mention the matter with the Yan State Military Alliance, it is extremely rare to just say that the edict is issued by Feixin. Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imperial Imp

Lin Chengfei naturally knew very well about the situation of Qing State. Wang Yanping's troops were ordered to withdraw their troops, and the two counties and three counties in the northeast were ceded to the Northern Barbarians. This made Lin Chengfei extremely sad and angry, and the situation of the southwest front he guarded was in danger. Even a strong-willed general like him was full of sadness about the future of Qing State.

While he led his army to fight hard with the Wei army, he was always worried about the movement of the Yan army. Now the Qing army is facing the attacks of the Wei army and the Northern Barbarians alone. The situation is critical. He really doesn't know whether the Yan State in the East will take the opportunity to rob.

Although both sides had just formed in-laws and became allies in name, Lin Chengfei never believed that in-laws were the solid foundation of the alliance between the two countries. He knew better that when great interests arise, any covenant was just a piece of waste paper.

Therefore, although he was under tremendous military pressure on the southwest line, since Han Mo returned to the northwest from Yanjing City to quell the rebellion, he did not dare to easily mobilize the soldiers and soldiers of the army in the south of the town.

The Wei people are terrifying, but the Yan people are equally terrifying.

When Lin Chengfei saw the decree of Shangjing City expressing the intention of forming a military alliance with Yan State, he was skeptical, but he was also quite excited. If the Yan State people were really willing to send troops to help, it would be a big deal for Qing State.

He is good at military affairs, but he is not a political idiot. He vaguely feels that the Yan people sent troops, perhaps because they did not want to see the Western Wei really defeat the Qing Kingdom, thus destroying the balance of power in the Central Plains?

...

Han Mo rode Jueying, followed by more than a dozen cavalry guards, all of whom were from the Knights of the Divine Bow Camp, and Ling Yun, commander of the Divine Bow Camp, personally led the guards. On the left and right of Han Mo, one was the new general of Linyang Pass, Tiekui, and the other was the imperial envoy with a somewhat ugly face.

Jiang Siyuan's injuries had just recovered. Since he arrived in the Northwest, although the above-mentioned Mingxiong wanted to assist Han Mo in handling Northwest military affairs, in fact, Han Mo completely slapped with rough means and had no right to make any decisions on the Northwest Army.

However, this time during the talks with Qingguo, Han Mo changed his normal behavior and invited Lord Jiang out solemnly. In the camp, he made a very modest statement that he was just a martial artist and was really not an expert in negotiations. Lord Jiang was the censor of Yan State and had outstanding eloquence. This negotiation must be carried out by Lord Jiang himself, with sincere and respectful words.

Although Jiang Siyuan felt that Han Mo's arrangement must be something else, the order from the Ministry of War that Feixin from Yanjing City did allow Han Mo and Jiang Siyuan to discuss the issue of sending troops with the people of Qing. Therefore, Jiang Siyuan could only obey Han Mo's arrangements. However, deep down he also felt that if he could make as much benefit as possible for Yan State in this negotiation, he should also become a meritorious minister.

The group approached the large tent and saw a group of people galloping from the opposite side. One of them was wearing black armor, but as agreed by both parties, the main general had no weapons on his body.

Han Mo guessed at once that the black-armored general must be Lin Chengfei, the current front-line general of Qing Kingdom.

There was one person on Lin Chengfei's side. There was also a military general on the left, and a middle-aged man dressed in civil servants. He was still a distance from the big tent. Han Mo raised his hand, and Ling Yun and the cavalrymen of the Shengong Camp stopped the horses and did not continue to move forward. The cavalry guards on Lin Chengfei also stopped. Three people from both sides arrived at the big tent. They were three or four steps away. They all stopped and stopped. They didn't say anything for a while. They just looked at each other. Lin Chengfei bowed and said first, "Is this General Han?"

Han Mo saw that Lin Chengfei was less than forty years old, with a square face and a national face. According to ordinary people, it was a righteous face, but this face looked like a sense of fatigue that came from his bones at this time, but that feeling of fatigue could not conceal his iron blood power.

"It's Han Mo!" Han Mo bowed and smiled, "Han Mo has long heard of General Lin's name. Everyone is called Tiger Thunder. When I see him today, he is indeed well-known and has the power of a fierce tiger!"

Lin Chengfei laughed and said, "General Han was joking. General Han was able to take on this position at a young age, but this general admired me!"

Both sides introduced the people around them, but the civil servant in Qing State was the military supervisor Yu Hai, and the military general was Deng Guozhong, deputy general under Lin Chengfei.

Yu Hai was extremely enthusiastic towards Han Mo, and he bowed his hands repeatedly, and there were endless praises, which made Han Mo even doubt whether the military supervisor had recited these words before he came.

Both sides got off the horse and entered the big tent together. Tables and chairs had already been prepared in the tent. Although the conditions were harsh, there was still wine and food here.

This big tent was jointly built by the two countries. For safety reasons, before meeting, they sent people to check it carefully. This time it will be a meeting between the leaders of both sides, so they have to be careful.

After sitting down, he was silent and Lin Chengfei took the lead: "My emperor sent a decree. Your country is doing a moral act and wants to send troops to help you. Your brotherly alliance between our two countries. Such a just act will be expressed to your country's highest respect!"

Han Mo smiled and said, "As the princess of a country now as the queen of your country, your country is equivalent to a country of despair. If my family is in trouble, they will naturally send troops to expel them. General Lin does not need to thank you!"

Lin Chengfei frowned slightly when he heard this.

Yu Hai asked anxiously: "General Han, but I don't know when your country will be deploying troops? Now that the Wei people are strong, our Qing army has suffered heavy losses, I am afraid that I can't hold on..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Chengfei had already started coughing and glanced at Yu Hai.

When negotiating, it is best to show your own eagerness and difficulties. A real negotiator will not only not expose his weaknesses, but will try its best to cover up the urgentness and weaknesses of his own as a bargaining chip for negotiation.

Yu Hai's exit was urgent and even said bluntly that the Qing army could not support it. Not only did it not hide its own difficulties, but it revealed its shortcomings. This was a taboo in negotiations. Lin Chengfei naturally interrupted him immediately with a cough.

Yu Hai obviously reacted, knowing that he had made a mistake, his expression on his face was a little embarrassed.

Han Mo had already pretended to be surprised and said, "Why, your country is in big trouble? I thought your country could last for more than half a year... This... I really didn't expect it!"

Lin Chengfei smiled indifferently and said, "General Han, you and me are brothers, and we are also considered alliance brothers. I will tell you the truth. My Qing army is under great pressure. After repeated attacks by the Wei army, the losses are not small. General Han said that we can hold on for half a year, which is a compliment, but it can still be supported in three or four months. Moreover, the Wei army's current offensive is blocked and its morale is sluggish. I am not ready to defend all the time. If possible, I will launch a large-scale offensive in the near future, and take the defensive as an offensive, and catch the Wei people off guard. I am still very confident about this counterattack!"

When Yu Hai heard this, he couldn't help but look at Lin Chengfei.

In the past, I only felt that Lin Chengfei was upright and a powerful general on the battlefield, but I really didn't expect that this guy was so full of energy when he spoke big words.

The current strength of the Qing army is far weaker than that of the Wei army, and its combat effectiveness is even lower. Even if the troops are transferred from the Zhennan Army to supplement, it may not be able to launch a so-called large-scale attack on the Wei army, let alone the pitiful tens of thousands of troops on hand.

The Qing army can resist the Wei army now. Firstly, Lin Chengfei is indeed good at defensive battles, and secondly, because the Wei army has no Sima Qingtian, its offensive ability has been greatly reduced. Another reason is that Qing army itself does not know that Shang Zhongli is dead. Lin Chengfei once inspired the Qing army soldiers to fight bloody battles with the "Shang" flag flying on Longshan.

Han Mo's face relaxed and he smiled and said, "So that's it, General Lin, once you say this, I will feel relieved. If you can't hold on now, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Lin Chengfei calmly smiled and said, "General Han, don't worry, my Qing army has enough ability to fight to the death. Now that your country is sending troops, you and I will join forces to attack Wei, you and I will definitely win!"

"This...!" Han Mo looked solemn and said, "General Lin, it is inevitable that my Dayan will send troops to help your country. Moreover, I even hope to send troops to help your country tomorrow and drive the Wei people back, but... My Dayan will not be able to send troops to you within these two months." Without waiting for the other party to speak, he smiled and said, "Fortunately, your country can still last for three or four months, which is still too late!"

Lin Chengfei changed color slightly.

Support for three or four months?

Support a lot.

According to the current situation, as long as the Wei army continues to maintain its offensive, the Qing army will definitely retreat across the board within less than a month. The so-called three or four months is just a boast of Dahaikou.

But he did not expect that the young commander of Yan State would instantly catch the topic and start selling airs.

Yu Hai said anxiously: "General Han, your country cannot send troops in one or two months? Then... why is that?"

When Han Mo heard this, he looked sad and said, "This matter is, I... Alas, Lord Jiang, please explain our army's difficulties to General Lin and Yu Jianjun!"
