Chapter 415 Xingshi asks the crime Li Yuan is worried
In mid-July, the [-] Hengshan Northern Army, which had just been formed, suddenly marched south.Within ten days or so, he went to Jing'an City in Anzhou to join Qin Yuanhao's Anzhou Army, and he was temporarily in command of the entire army.

Qin Yuanhao had already received Lin Yifan's order for the purpose of the Zhenbei Army's arrival, and immediately recruited tens of thousands of civilians and strong men on the spot, and a hundred thousand people were assembled to march to the Jishan Pass.

At this time, the [-] defenders at Jishan Pass were terrified. While sending people to the capital of Huayuan to ask for help, they organized the soldiers to stand by and wait for help.

At this time, Qin Yuanhao was not in a hurry to tackle key problems, but set up camp slowly.Just when the guard was in doubt, Jiang Yunchuan, head of Hengshan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, appeared and asked to be sent to the Li family.

The guard didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately sent Jiang Yunchuan and his party into the pass.Because he used to be a member of Li's family, the guard recognized him, so he eagerly asked him why Hengshan came to attack.

Naturally, Jiang Yunchuan would not mention the secret of Hengshan's plan to extort, but only reprimanded the Li family for deliberately making things difficult for the Hengshan caravan when Hengshan was defending against foreign enemies, secretly gathering troops, hoarding them in the south of Jishan Pass, and plotting to covet Hengshan.For this reason, Hengshan was furious, so he sent troops to ask for an explanation.

This reprimand made the guard break out in cold sweat, and he couldn't help but secretly scolded the good idea of ​​the group of idiots under the Patriarch.Now Hengshan Xingshi came here to ask for his crimes, but he himself was the one who died in front of him.

Seeing his resentment, Jiang Yunchuan calmed down immediately, and comforted him: "General Xu, there is no need to worry. Although my lord was very angry this time, he didn't want to hurt the friendship between our two families, so he sent Jiang here. In order to leave a room for relaxation. Otherwise, our Hengshan Army would have attacked Jishan Pass long ago."

When General Xu heard this, his face relaxed slightly, and he said happily: "So, Mr. Jiang's visit will definitely resolve the conflict between the two families. It is not too late, I will send Mr. south here."

"No hurry, General Xu, can you tell me why the Li family suddenly coveted me in Hengshan? Who is the mastermind?" Jiang Yunchuan smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to stop him.

"This?" General Xu looked puzzled.

"General Xu, Jiang Mou came here for peace between the two families. If he wants to put an end to the war, it is all at Jiang Mou's mouth. If he can't get a satisfactory result, I'm afraid this mountain pass will be in danger of war again." Jiang Yunchuan Gently stroking his long beard, he said solemnly.

"Okay, since that's the case, let me tell you one or two." General Xu hesitated for a moment, and immediately confided some information about the Li family to Jiang Yunchuan.

After listening to General Xu's words, Jiang Yunchuan nodded knowingly, bid him farewell immediately, and left for Huayuan City in a carriage.

When the military news passed to Huayuan City, Li Yuan was immediately petrified.He never imagined that after several consecutive battles, Hengshan would brazenly attack Jishan Pass regardless of recuperation.Could it be that he pretended to be sick to dispel Hengshan's vigilance, and Hengshan was aware of his secret plan to move northward?
If so, then Huazhou is in danger.Today's Hengshan Army not only has huge cavalry, gunpowder capable of destroying cities and villages, but also mysterious weapons that have played miraculous effects in the three battles. The army formed by the state is not necessarily their opponent.After all, even the three great powers were defeated in front of the Hengshan Army, and he still knew how much he weighed.

Feeling uneasy, Li Yuan immediately called everyone to discuss.

When they learned that the Hengshan army was coming, everyone had different expressions. The faces of those who had dealt with Hengshan changed, and they all showed fear; after occupying Huazhou, the new recruits who came in showed indifferent expressions, even Still a little excited.

At this time, a civil official stood up and said: "Master, for the current plan, we should quickly dispatch reinforcements to Jishan Pass to support and block the Hengshan Army's advance. Then send envoys to Hengshan to seek peace. Although we had plans to go north , but after all, he did not cross the Jishan Pass, so it can be explained clearly. I believe that Hengshan should not pursue us too much. Now that Hengshan has just experienced several wars, it is really inappropriate to rashly launch an offensive against Huazhou. The subordinates think that this move is intended to intimidate I am Huazhou, to deter us."

Li Yuan pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly, indeed, why not station troops anywhere in the territory?If Hengshan wants to launch a war against Huazhou with this excuse, it is obviously untenable.What's more, now that the Hengshan battle has just come to an end, there is no reason to start the war again, it must be to use this as a warning to himself.Now, in order to appease Hengshan's anger, he can only send envoys to appease him, and even pay some money and food, which should be able to make Hengshan forget the past.

At this moment, a civil official on the other side heard the words, stood up angrily and reprimanded: "Why are you so cowardly? My lord, my Huazhou Army has 30 soldiers, can't it stop the Hengshan Army's [-] soldiers? ?Being cowardly before fighting, making an apology can only fuel the enemy's arrogance. We can completely block the Hengshan Army's attack at the Jishan Pass, and even take advantage of the weakness of the Hengshan Army to launch the Northern Expedition and recover Anzhou in one fell swoop. There are two states, so why be afraid of Hengshan?"

Li Yuan frowned slightly, looked at this person with displeasure, and said lightly: "Mr. Pei doesn't know something, and the combat power of the Hengshan Army should not be underestimated. How can it be our Huazhou Army who can defeat the three major powers in one fell swoop?" What can be provoked? Once the Hengshan army is angered, I am afraid that Huazhou will be in danger."

"Hmph, it must be that the lord is so afraid of the Hengshan army that now he only dares to hide in this three-acre field, and he has no intention of making progress?" This young man looks elegant, but his words are sharp Mr. Pei, with a cold smile, mocked.

"You!" Li Yuan was furious, pointed at him, and shouted tremblingly: "Pei Yan, you are too presumptuous, do you really dare not punish you as an old man?"

Pei Yan narrowed her eyes slightly, quickly lowered her head, cupped her hands and said apologetically, "My subordinate Meng Lang, please forgive me, my lord."

Li Yuan looked at him coldly, his heavy breathing echoed in the silent lobby.For a long time, "Pei Yan, the old man loves your talent, so I have always been courteous to you. But you can't be too rude, the difference between superior and inferior, how can you trample on it at will?"

Pei Yan lowered her head, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, but she didn't dare to be noticed at the moment, so she gritted her teeth and said, "This subordinate is guilty, please punish me."

Seeing that he compromised, Li Yuan turned pale, "Since you are convicted, I will forgive you this time, let's not make an example, just sit down."

"Thank you, my lord, for your generosity." Pei Yan thanked quickly.

After he sat down, Li Yuan looked around at the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, Hengshan is very aggressive here, we must choose a person who can speak eloquently to go to Hengshan, so as to persuade them to stop fighting. Are you willing to send an envoy to Hengshan to persuade him to retreat?"

Everyone looked at each other, but they were all silent.

When Li Yuan saw this, his heart was filled with anger, and he wished he could expel these people.However, many of them are representatives of Huazhou aristocratic families, so they cannot be easily offended.Otherwise, with a man like Meng Lang like Pei Yan, how could he be left here to speak out.Alas, if Jiang Yunchuan was still there back then, I wouldn't have to be in trouble here.

At this moment, Pei Yan, who had just been reprimanded, couldn't hold back, stood up again, and said loudly: "My lord, my subordinates are willing to go."

Li Yuan rolled his eyes, waved his hand immediately, and said impatiently, "You are not suitable."

What a joke, if he is sent as an envoy to Hengshan, with his character, I'm afraid it will anger Hengshan even more. When the time comes, Hengshan's army will come out, how can the Jishan Pass be kept?
Pei Yan blushed, and was about to defend herself, when suddenly a guard came in from outside the door and came to report, "I want to report to the Patriarch, General Xu, the gate guard of Jishan, has sent news that Hengshan has sent Jiang Yunchuan as an envoy, and he is coming to Huayuan."

"What? Hengshan sent an envoy on his own initiative?" Li Yuan was stunned, showing disbelief. What exactly did they want to do?
