Fresh Bisong was holding a bowl of porridge and drinking it in a sensation. Lan Yongchuan, who was sitting beside him, looked at the porridge that could also be seen in the bowl, and smiled bitterly: "I can't hold on for a few days!"

Xian Bisong looked at Lan Yongchuan playfully: "Master Lan, you can actually leave. If you want to leave, I think they can't stop you."

Lan Yongchuan shook his head: "I can't leave, I can feel that Huo Guang is peeking at me from afar. If I really dare to leave, he only needs a team of cavalry to cooperate with him to take me down. Only when the entire army retreats together can I have a chance. General Xian, if he doesn't break through, there will be no chance. The food is gone. Look at our bowls, there are not a few rice, and you can imagine the soldiers' bowls."

"Just like Master Lan's worries, if I dare to break through, I will definitely suffer heavy losses. The other party is afraid that I will break through. If I stay here honestly, I might have a way out." Xian Bisong shook his head and said.

"What's the reason? The other party may be waiting for us to be so hungry that we can't even walk, and then take us down in one fell swoop." Lan Yongchuan looked at the other party and asked strangely.

"If I'm not wrong." Xian Bisong drank the porridge in the bowl in one sip, applied the soup stuck to her beard, and then said: "This battle cannot be fought. Now the Ming army surrounded us and did not fight, just waiting for a result."

"What's the result?" Lan Yongchuan asked.

"At this time, our Da Qi should start negotiations with the Ming Kingdom." Xian Bisong said: "In this battle, our Da Qi wanted to establish his authority, and when we were in charge of the Chu Kingdom, the Ming people did not have the strength to make trouble, but things went against our wishes. We lost, and we underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Ming army."

"Yes, it's indeed underestimated, but won't the Ming army take advantage of the victory to attack and expand the results of the battle?" Lan Yongchuan asked.

Xian Bisong smiled and said, "Master Lan, you are specialized in martial arts and are not proficient in politics. In fact, although the Ming people won, they are not easy. They have been fighting for more than half a year, fighting from the west to the east. It can be said that the country's soldiers are exhausted and the string collapses too tightly and will break. The Ming people don't want to fight again. This has been since they surrounded us but never launched the final fatal blow again."

"Now we are the strange goods in their hands, and they are bargaining chips that can be used to bargain. If we kill all of us, they will not have any other gains besides arousing the anger of Qi people. Qin Feng is a smart person, how could he do such a business of saving money!"

"In other words, as long as the negotiation is completed and we satisfy their appetite, we can go home." Lan Yong preached.

Xian Bisong nodded: "It's theoretically."

"No wonder these days, I see that every day you pass, you seem more calm. It turns out that you have seen through the reality of the Ming army." Lan Yongchuan smiled and said, "In that case, I can sleep peacefully."

"Seeing through the reality of the Ming army?" Xian Bisong smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Lan Shi, to be honest, this is the most miserable battle in my military career, and it is also a battle that I lost with confidence. The troops were equal, and I was defending him and attacking, but I failed in the end."

"Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. As long as you don't die this time, you will win back in the next game." Lan Yongchuan comforted.

"This battle gave me a basic understanding of the Ming army. I will definitely win back when I meet again next time. If I still have the opportunity to lead the army to fight." Speaking of this, Xian Bisong became a little depressed. "This time, General Guo was responsible for the big defeat, and we generals leading the army must not escape. Your Majesty needs to give an explanation to the country, and we must be responsible for this."

"Speaking of this, you still defended the defense line here. If you really want to be guilty, I'm afraid that Gauge is the culprit. If it weren't for his failure on the right wing, we wouldn't have been defeated."

"Caoge is a royal family, even if it is a remote branch, but he is also a royal family."

"Your Majesty is wise and will definitely not see the blame general." Lan Yongchuan thought for a while and said, "General Xian, if we can go back safely this time and you can still lead the army to fight, I want to stay in your army for a while."

"Well, don't you go back to the Nantianmen?" Xian Bisong looked at the other party strangely: "You are a country's priest, why should you suffer in the army?"

Lan Yongchuan shook his head: "In the past, in the sect and Chang'an, I really watched the sky by looking at the well. I thought I had reached the level of a master and could go to the world. But this battle made me truly understand that there is a difference between a master and a master. Is Huo Guang better than me? No, in terms of cultivation, he is even worse than me, but among thousands of troops, he can kill me in a mess. This reminds me of the Emperor Qin Feng of the Ming Dynasty. This man was still at the peak of level nine and could fight Deng Pu. Now, he has been promoted to a master. If I meet him on the battlefield, can I survive?"

"Master Lan thought too much. No one could tell what the battle in Hengdian was. Whether Qin Feng fought alone to kill Deng Pu or someone helped the boxing, who knows? It's not the Ming people who have the final say now." Xian Bisong said: "But if the Lan Master wants to stay in the army, as long as I can still lead the army, it will naturally be welcome."

"It will definitely happen. The Ming and Qi countries will eventually fight again. I have the opportunity to compete with Huo Guang again." Lan Yongchuan said quietly.

A fast horse drove from a distance like flying. When he got closer, a scout turned over and got off the horse, but his face was filled with joy and incomprehension.

"General, the Ming army's Fuyuan Camp suddenly withdrew, and the Ming army surrounding us suddenly revealed a huge gap." The scout swallowed and said.

Xian Bisong took a long breath and looked at Lan Yongchuan, "It seems that the agreement between the two countries has been reached. Master Lan, we can go home."

"You guessed it's really accurate. General Xian, are we going to set off now?" Lan Yongchuan looked at Xian Bisong with some admiration.

"No, we have to go there with our spirits and spirits!" Xian Bisong shouted.

An officer ran over from a distance, "General, what are the instructions?"

"Go to my Central Army camp, where there is still food, enough for our entire army to have a full meal. Today we can have a full meal and have a good night's sleep. Tomorrow, we will go home." Xian Bisong said loudly.

"Yes, General!" The officer was stunned at first, then showed an ecstatic expression. He originally thought that this time he was either killed in battle or became a prisoner of war, but he did not expect that he could go home with all his heart.

"So you still have some food hidden?" Lan Yongchuan looked at the fresh pine and said happily.

"A general always hides some tricks. If we have no porridge to drink, and when there is no news coming over there, I will go alone. My bottom line was originally to stay here for another three days." Xian Bisong smiled and said, "Okay, Master Lan, you go back and have a good sleep, tomorrow, we will go home."

On this night, the entire Qi army camp was happy. Not only did he eat enough, but he also had orders from the superiors that they would go home tomorrow and there would be no war along the way.

That night, Xian Bisong also welcomed a big shot in his tent, Cao Hui.

"So, General Guo is responsible for the defeat this time?" Xian Bisong was in a heavy mood: "It's not all General Guo's responsibility, it's our Daqi that underestimates this opponent."

"His tribe members were only imprisoned, and His Majesty also gave him a chance to atone for sins. If he could defeat the Qin people, and if we win a great victory on the Eastern Front, Guo Xiancheng would have a good ending. No matter what the battlefield has problems, Guo Xiancheng will be dead." Cao Hui sighed and said, "Your Majesty transferred Guo Xiancheng to deal with the Qin people at this time, which was originally to let him avoid the storm. We need a big victory to forget this miserable defeat."

"What price did we pay?" asked Xian Bisong.

"The three counties of Yiyang, Wuling and Taoyuan, north of Zhaoguan, are no longer ours." Cao Hui said.

With a thud, Xian Bisong punched the table hard, her face full of grief and anger. "One day, I will take back these places myself."

"You will have this opportunity." Cao Hui said: "Your Majesty has issued an order to deprive you of your title, but you have retained your military post. This time you will be commanded to retreat in the entire army. Xian Bisong. This time, the retreat is not simply a matter of leaving, but to retreat while fighting."

"War while retreating?" Xian Bisong was stunned.

"Yes, fight and retreat! We must let the Chu people know that we are still fighting with the Ming army." Cao Hui said.

Xian Bisong immediately understood, but at the same time he also knew that a huge blame was also carried on his back, and the loss of the three counties of Yiyang would be carried on by himself. What Cao Hui said before was not only Guo Xiancheng's fate, but also his own.

"Your Majesty will not let you suffer any losses, you must understand this." Cao Hui said.

Xian Bisong nodded: "As long as it is beneficial to the country, Xian's honor and disgrace are not worth mentioning."

"Just understand. Your Majesty has decided to set up a governor in Changning County, to control the army and dismount to manage the people. You are the first governor of Changning, with only one purpose, to prepare for the war against Ming. Your Majesty will give you three years to build a new army in Changning, asking for money and armies. Three years is enough for you to build a team that is enough to be better than the Ming army in the United States. Your Majesty hopes that you, a general who has experienced this war and knows the background of the Ming army, will build a new army that is not inferior to the Longxiang army." Cao Hui said.
