Chapter 194
Xiao Zhuo led the Xiliang army out of battle, and the Xirong army on the opposite side also had to go out.

There are tens of thousands on each side, with swords and guns everywhere, and flags fluttering, standing in formation on the banks of the Benniu River.

The morale of the Xiliang army is high, and everyone is eager to fight, impatient.On the other hand, on the side of the Xirong Army, the sergeants have no fighting spirit, but there is no way to escape.

The victory of the Xiliang Army is set.

Xiao Zhuo and Shen Yuexi stayed in the formation, Qiu Liming rode his horse and raised dust, came to the front of the formation, and shouted to the Xi Rong army opposite:

"I am Qiu Liming, a subordinate of Crown Prince Dayan. You are already on the verge of death, quickly put down your weapons and surrender. If you persist in your obsession, blood will flow like rivers wherever our troops go. It will be too late for regret."

Hearing Xiao Zhuo's name, some soldiers in the Xirong Army's formation couldn't help but began to retreat.

"Hold on, hold on!" The commanders of the Xirong army shouted at the sergeants one after another, ordering them to hold their ground.

Song Zhen said to Xiao Zhuo in the formation: "My lord, the enemy's morale is already in disarray, and the attack at this time is invincible."

Xiao Zhuo said: "Order the infantry to go out first, and the bows and crossbows to press down."

Song Zhen shook his feather fan, and was about to turn his head to give an order to the sergeant next to him. A general came out from the opposite formation, restrained his mount before the formation and said:

"General Qiu, I am Su Mo Nai, General of the Ten Thousand Team. Please come out, His Royal Highness, and I have something to say."

Seeing that the other party had something to say, Qiu Liming turned his horse's head, galloped back into the formation, and said to Xiao Zhuo: "My lord, the other party's general Su Mo Nai asked the lord to come out of the battle. He has something to say to the lord."

Shen Yuexi was shaking hands immediately, upon hearing this, she quickly grabbed Xiao Zhuo's hand and said, "Husband, don't go out."

She had suffered from Xiu Muye's dark arrows before, and she was deeply afraid that Su Mo Nai's old tricks would be repeated.

This time the two armies faced each other, Qiang Lin, as a Xirong native, was not suitable for the battle.She left all the hidden guards in Zhangwu City.If someone from Xirong shoots an arrow in the back, no one can block the arrow for Xiao Zhuo.

Xiao Zhuo smiled and said: "Don't worry, even Xiao Beiheng's arrows can't hurt me, let alone others. You are protected by soldiers in the formation, so don't move rashly."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Zhuo rode his horse through the army formation, came to the front of the two armies, and said loudly:

"It turned out to be General Su Mo Nai, please stay safe."

Su Mo Nai let go of the horse's reins, cupped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness, I still remember the gun you gave me when you broke into my camp alone."

Xiao Zhuo smiled and said: "You have no chance of winning, the best policy is to put down your swords and guns and surrender."

Su Mo Nai shook his head and said: "His Royal Highness, I have a message. Please listen carefully. If there is a battle in the future, I will lead the army to accompany you to the end."

"Say." Xiao Zhuo replied simply.

"In the past, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made an oath with us, King Doma, that the two sides cease fighting for a period of one year. Has it ever expired?"

Xiao Zhuo said: "No."

"His Royal Highness led the army to attack our Xirong, can it be considered a breach of contract?"

"Calculate."

Shen Yuexi couldn't help becoming anxious when she heard that Xiao Zhuo didn't hide at all in the formation.The other party was trying to force Xiao Zhuo with words.But Xiao Zhuo didn't have any excuses, and admitted it completely and frankly.

She looked at Qiu Liming and Song Zhen.Both of them frowned and remained silent.

"His Royal Highness is to understand the siege of Zhang Wu, Fang led the army to attack. I can see it as a helpless move. But now every step of the way is pressing... How will His Royal Highness win the trust of the world in the future?"

"May I ask the general's intention?" Xiao Zhuo asked after he finished speaking.

"His Royal Highness, please withdraw the troops, and let me build a bridge to cross the river." Su Mo Nai said, "In this way, I will regard His Royal Highness as keeping the agreement. When we return to Xirong territory, the two sides will fight again after the one-year agreement expires. "

"Okay." Xiao Zhuo turned his horse around.

Su Mo Nai didn't seem to expect Xiao Zhuo to be so happy, and said with some surprise: "Your Highness, once you say something, it's hard to follow!"

"Of course." Xiao Zhuo waved his hands without looking back.

He rode back to the formation, and Shen Yuexi stepped forward and said, "Husband, are we really going to let these Xirong soldiers go?"

Song Zhen also stepped forward and said: "My lord, the opportunity to annihilate these tens of thousands of enemy troops is at hand. Just let it go like this?"

"I made an oath with King Doma of Xirong. Now I lead the army to attack again. The fault is my fault," Xiao Zhuo said, "I am the prince of Dayan. Back to camp."

Xiliang army was very disappointed when they heard Xiao Zhuo's words.But the military order was like a mountain, so the troops had to be withdrawn and returned to the camp.The Xirong Army began to arrange for sergeants to find places where the ice of the Benniu River could support the brigade.

Xiao Zhuo and Shen Yuexi rode their horses back to Zhangwu and came to the eunuch's mansion.Xiliang Wang Meicheng and Mei Pu had already received the news from the scouts.Mei Pu stood next to Mei Cheng, and put on a mask again, so that he couldn't see emotions.

Mei Cheng was furious and got angry at Xiao Zhuo:
"The destruction of the Xirong Army is just around the corner, and you actually let them go."

Xiao Zhuo didn't answer, just kept silent.

Shen Yuexi didn't know what Xiao Zhuo was thinking, and couldn't bear to let him suffer this grievance, so she stood up and defended: "My husband and King Doma had a one-year armistice agreement. You also know it, my lord."

"The armistice agreement is a fart, the great opportunity is right in front of you, how can you miss it." Xiliang Wang Meicheng waved his sleeves and walked quickly to the entrance of the hall.

Seeing the oppressive atmosphere in the hall, Shen Yuexi quietly tugged on Xiao Zhuo's sleeve, and whispered, "Husband, what do you say?"

"I have nothing to say." Xiao Zhuo shook his head.

Mei Cheng walked to the entrance of the hall, turned to Mei Pu and said, "Come with me as father."

Mei Pu took a look at Xiao Zhuo and Shen Yuexi, walked quickly to catch up with Mei Cheng, and followed.

"I went out to fight to break the siege of Zhang Wu. Although I saved my friend, I am already a dishonest person," Xiao Zhuo said with a bit of desolation, "I think I always do what I say, but in the end I found that I am just an ordinary person."

Seeing that Xiao Zhuo was unhappy, Shen Yuexi comforted: "We are all ordinary people, and no one has ever broken his promise. Besides, you did this to save Mei Pu."

Xiao Zhuo shook his head and said: "Before I left the battle, I had the idea of ​​going on like this. Anyway, I have broken my promise, so it's fine to go on like this. But when Su Mo Nai questioned me in front of tens of thousands of people, I wished I could find a place I don’t have a real status as a crown prince, but I have been holding on myself, I don’t want to give up, I think my father will rehabilitate me..."

Shen Yuexi said: "If you keep your word, you will have to watch Mei Pu die. Your husband saved his friend, which is also an act of righteousness. And the agreement with King Doma is just an agreement with the enemy, and it doesn't matter if you violate it."

"I only wanted to save my friends, but I broke the trust of the world," Xiao Zhuo said, "If I were an emperor, how would I govern the world?"

"In my memory, there was an emperor who gave up the whole country in order to avenge his brother." Shen Yuexi tried to cheer up Xiao Zhuo, "There is also an emperor who once said that he would never meet his mother, and he also violated the law later. I said what I said. I don’t think there is any right or wrong in things, just do what you think is right, and don’t have to worry about these imaginary things.”

"Where did I hear this?" Xiao Zhuo reached out and pinched her tender cheeks, "Could it be that you made it up?"

"It's all true." Shen Yuexi swore.

Xiao Zhuo smiled and said: "Although I spend more time practicing martial arts, I also read a lot of books, so why don't I know that such an emperor exists. Not much to say, I want to drink some wine, you come with me."

"Drink when you are happy, and drink when you are in a bad mood." Shen Yuexi disagreed, pulled Xiao Zhuo up and said, "Let's not think about those troubles, you go back to your room and rest, I will cook for you a dish."

"I want to drink chicken soup. Since I left Xiaogang Village, I haven't eaten the chicken soup you made."

"It's been so long, and you still miss it?" Shen Yuexi smiled and took Xiao Zhuo's hand and walked towards the bedroom.

"Of course, the chicken soup you made, Yuexi, is the most delicious soup I've ever had."

Shen Yuexi asked Xiao Zhuo to rest on the bed, and she went to the kitchen next door to start working.

Zhang Wu had just gone through the war, and there were very few people in the city, and there were no servants in the prefect's mansion, but the kitchen was full of ingredients.She didn't care, as long as she didn't have to kill the chicken herself.

She made a pot of rice first, then chopped up chicken pieces with a knife on the chopping board, and asked while chopping, "What did Meipu and his father go to do?"

"They won't let go of this opportunity, they should go to attack Xirong." Xiao Zhuo's voice sounded from the bedroom.

"You won't be defeated, right?" Shen Yuexi was a little worried.Xiliang King is famous for its vegetable chicken.

"The Xirong army is in a desperate situation, and the morale of the army is already confused. Even if you send an armadillo to lead the Xiliang army to fight, as long as it can talk, it will not fail." Xiao Zhuo seemed to be in a better mood, and joked.

"That's good. I think Maple is quite pitiful. I plan to make him a prosthetic arm..."

The two chatted and worked, and spent a rare leisure time. The chicken soup was stewed for an hour and a half, and the kitchen was steaming, full of the aroma of chicken and rice.

"It's out of the pot." Shen Yuexi dipped a spoon into the hot chicken soup, scooped up a spoonful of chicken nuggets, poked it with chopsticks, and it was almost stewed.

Xiao Zhuo led the soldiers to fight very hard. He had to drink a big bowl of chicken soup and a big bowl of rice.

Before the soup was ready, Qiu Liming's voice sounded outside the door: "His Royal Highness, there will be an urgent military report at the end."

Shen Yuexi didn't have time to put down the spoon and ran to the door.Xiao Zhuo also got up, and the two came to the door together.He ran into Qiu Liming who looked nervous.

"My lord, Mei Cheng and his son led an army to attack the Xirong army on the Benniu River. At first, the battle went smoothly. Unexpectedly, the Xirong counterattacked desperately and intercepted the Xiliang army. Mei Cheng and his son are currently surrounded by a mountain on the east side of the Benniu River. critical."

The spoon in Shen Yuexi's hand fell to the ground.

Xiao Zhuo said that even an armadillo can win. Unexpectedly, the king of Xiliang can't even compare with an armadillo...
