Xue Muhua said: "He fought with them several times before and achieved success. Moreover, the Dongchahe troops originally only attacked with a small group of cavalry, so he did not lead many troops."

"What about this time?"

"This time -" Xue Muhua's face turned pale when he said this: "Suddenly, an army of 200,000 troops was sent over there, and they intercepted Nian Baoyu in the area."

Two hundred thousand troops?!

My heart suddenly twitched: "Then he——"

Yan Qingchen raised his hand, holding the piece of paper he had taken off the falcon's feet that day between his fingertips, and said calmly: "There is no problem in being able to convey the message, and the message he conveyed was just a request for more information."

Soldiers are not asking for help."

I'm just asking for more troops, not asking for help.

As soon as I heard this, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what, I don’t want anything bad to happen to Pei Yuanfeng.

But——

Although it is just a request for additional troops, although it is not a request for help, it is only temporary. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and any accident may happen. But when I recall what I experienced in Dongzhou, I watched Chang Qing go away.

His back never came back, and the tragic scene of a river of blood and corpses strewn across the field was like the deepest nightmare, making me tremble every time I think about it.

I hurriedly said: "Then add more troops immediately. No matter what, we can't let anything happen to him!"

Yan Qingchen glanced at me and did not answer this sentence immediately.

My heart skipped a beat.

Pei Yuanfeng was intercepted by 200,000 troops in Nian Baoyu. Although he could still send messages, the war was like a fire and nothing could be delayed. Since Yan Qingchen had received the message requesting additional troops, why didn't he act immediately?

Come to me and Liu Qinghan.

Is this the reason why he left us here?

Liu Qinghan said: "Master Yan didn't send troops immediately, does he have other plans?"

Yan Qingchen smiled calmly: "Actually, besides increasing troops, there are better ways."

"Want to hear the details."

Yan Qingchen turned his head and looked at him: "I heard that Tu Shuhan's beard is very good at beating."

Liu Qinghan's expression froze.

I also felt something and looked at Yan Qingchen in shock.

After a long while, Liu Qinghan said dumbly: "So what?"

"I heard that he was also the one who drove the Dongchahe tribe out of Hehuang. Now he is heavily guarded there. He is probably one of the most trusted and most important generals of the Central Plains Emperor. I heard that his sister is still

The emperor's woman."

Liu Qinghan's face became increasingly ugly.

Among other things, Yan Qingchen actually told everything about the emperor's harem, which must have made Liu Qinghan more vigilant.

However, my heart is clear.

Of course I knew where Yan Qingchen's news came from, but - looking at Liu Qinghan's frown, my heart felt a little heavy. I didn't know what he would think if he knew the truth of the matter.

After being silent for a while, he finally spoke and said slowly: "Do you want people from the court to send troops to help you fight?"

Yan Qingchen smiled slightly: "Since I have said this, I won't ask people from the court to help me."

"..."

"I also help the Central Plains court."

"..."

He slowly put his hands on the table and clasped them, and said slowly: "As an official, of course you also know that the Dongchahe Department has great ambitions. Over the years, it has been harassing the border fortress, not plundering the border towns.

It's so simple, but it's testing our attitude and testing the strength of the various Eastern ministries. Once we give them a chance, we won't have a peaceful life."

I looked at Liu Qinghan. His face was solemn, but he didn't say anything immediately.

It’s just me, my palms are already sweating.

I vaguely remembered that after I used a trick to kill Liu Ningyan, I asked Pei Yuanfeng if he had killed anyone, and he told me that he climbed out of the pile of dead people in Xidatong, and that he had previously controlled the Celestial Dynasty.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and so many brothers of life and death, all followed him to fight their way out from there.

It can be seen that the war between the Central Plains and the Eastern Chachahe Department lasted for a long time and the battle situation was tragic.

Therefore, if this battle is to be fought, it really is not a matter for Xichuan alone.

Liu Qinghan was silent for a while, then raised his head and looked at him: "Then why you came to me today-"

"I want you to persuade Tu Shuhan to join forces with our troops to repel the Dongchahe troops."

"..."

Liu Qinghan said nothing.

After a while, he finally spoke and said calmly: "It is impossible for the emperor to agree."

Yan Qingchen also smiled faintly: "That's why I came to find you."

"..." Liu Qinghan glanced at him: "Do you think I can persuade Tu Shuhan to do something that the emperor will not agree to?"

Yan Qingchen smiled faintly and said: "The general is out, and military orders are not obeyed. War on the border has always been fought at will. Do we really have to go all the way to the capital to ask for an order? Nian Baoyu left the bearded garrison.

The land is not far away. If he really sends troops, it can be regarded as fighting his own battle. If he joins forces with our troops and can achieve a complete victory, he will get full credit when he goes back."

Liu Qinghan remained silent.

I said softly: "Qinghan?"

He glanced at me and shook his head.

Li'er has been quiet and looked at us adults without saying a word. Maybe she couldn't understand many of the things we said. She could only "beat" and "beat" back and forth, which made her look more and more frightened.

However, she still squeezed Liu Qinghan's fingers.

Liu Qinghan said: "This is not enough to persuade Tu Shuhan. In a war, you cannot only think about winning, but also thinking about defeat. His successive victories have high prestige in the court, and he drove the Dongchahe tribe out of the river.

Huang, it is already a great achievement. If it fails at this time, it will be a complete failure."

Yan Qingchen also fell silent.

Liu Qinghan's considerations are not unreasonable. We always consider the best in everything, but as a general, he must also consider "taking ten thousand steps back". If he loses this battle, his previous

All victories are zero.

Therefore, what Yan Qingchen said was not enough to persuade Tu Shuhan.

Because Tu Shuhan cannot afford to lose.

For a while, everyone fell silent.

Xue Muhua looked at us, stood up at this time, and said: "No matter what, I still have to go find him. Master, no matter whether we increase our troops or join forces, I will always be by his side if something happens to him."

.I’m leaving.”

After saying that, she turned around and left.

I called her hurriedly: "Miss Muhua!"

She turned back and looked at me, her eyes a little flustered and helpless, which made her pretty little face look even more weak and pale, but her words were extremely firm.

"His and I are about to get married. No matter what, I can't let him stay so far away alone on that day. I want to be with him."

"..."

Seeing her turn around and leave again, an idea flashed in my mind, and I suddenly thought of something: "Wait a minute!"

She stopped suddenly and looked back at me.

I said: "I...I may have a way."

She suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at me in surprise and joy: "You? What can you do?!"

"..."

The initial idea took shape in my mind in an instant, but what followed was a burst of almost suffocating depression. I turned back and took a look at Liu Qinghan.

He looked at me with some confusion, as if asking "What's wrong?" I bit my lower lip and said, "I have a way, maybe I can persuade him."

"What can I do?"

"...I also need you."

"Me?"

He looked at me hesitantly, as if he wanted to ask again, but I had already turned my head to look at Yan Qingchen - after all, the situation is not too clear now, and it is impossible for me to reveal all my trump cards. On the contrary, I

There are still some things that I need Yan Qingchen to explain to me.

I asked: "You want Mr. Liu and others to help you win over the troops of the imperial court, why did you leave me and Yuan Xiu behind?"
