The Thirteenth Princess

Only until dusk did Vice General Zhang return to Wu Shan's tent.

Wu Shan was still lying prone on the ground, reading the military report. Upon hearing Vice General Zhang walk in, he nodded without even raising his head, then called Vice General Zhang and said, "You're back."

Vice General Zhang walked in front of Wu Shan, bent down, and bowed as he said, "Reporting to General Wu, this one has already placed the southwestern envoy in the middle of the army camp, and has sent a special person to take care of the affairs of the army. Please do not worry, General."

The Vice General Zhang had always been cautious when doing things, so Wu Shan nodded lightly. He did not forget to remind the Vice General Zhang: "This southwest official is just a scholar and has never seen a bloody battlefield before. Furthermore, since ancient times, there has been a saying that the two armies have not fought each other since, so you only need to send people to watch. All of those who have come are guests, so you can't be stingy to us Jin Country. "

"This lowly general has remembered, rest assured, General." The Vice General Zhang cupped his hands and bowed to Wu Shan.

Wu Shan laughed, then raised his head and looked at Vice General Zhang. He gestured for him to come forward.

Only, the Vice General Zhang was frowning, there were a lot of questions in his mind.

"Looking at Vice General Zhang's anxious face, you must have something important to say to this general." Wu Shan raised his head and looked at Vice General Zhang, and could not help but laugh, as he said this to him calmly.

The Vice General Zhang had never been a person who hid his worries. After standing by Wu Shan's side and muttering to himself for a while, he could not help but ask Wu Shan: "General, you are not an indecisive person, but in the tent today, why are you unwilling to say anything? The envoy must have thought that we were afraid of him. Right now, I still don't know how to be complacent. "

Vice General Zhang looked at Wu Shan with a hidden bitterness as he spoke, causing Wu Shan to laugh uncontrollably.

"Vice General Zhang need not be angry. The reason why this general is unwilling to speak today is actually to wait for a piece of news." Wu Shan extended his hand and patted Vice General Zhang's shoulder, then stopped smiling and said to him.

Hearing Wu Shan's words, Vice General Zhang became even more doubtful. He raised his head and looked at Wu Shan, then asked him in a low voice, "General, why do you say that? What exactly are you waiting for?"

As the sky darkened, the patrols outside the camp became even tighter.

Ever since Wu Shan had led the soldiers in the southwest, the military discipline had been strict and there were praises from the military.

Hearing Vice General Zhang's question, Wu Shan hesitated for a moment, before telling him what had happened today. Today, the enemy troops had suddenly sent someone over to ask for peace. This general was also extremely suspicious, and did not know what had happened. That is why we sent our spies to inquire about the details of the incident. We were afraid that it was a trap set up by the enemy troops, so I did not answer them when we were in the tent.

"So General Wu had already made such arrangements. I was reckless." Hearing Wu Shan's words, Vice General Zhang could not help but be a little surprised. He thought that since Wu Shan was young and didn't have any experience fighting on the battlefield, he wouldn't be able to get excited when facing enemy troops. Unexpectedly, he had already arranged everything in secret.

After Wu Shan told the Vice General Zhang about the details, he sat down at a table and studied the map, showing a calm and composed look. On the other hand, Vice General Zhang stood at the entrance of the camp and looked around. He gripped his treasured sword tightly, and revealed a look of anxiousness.

Vice General Zhang was walking around the tent. Looking at how calm and composed Wu Shan looked, he became even more nervous. He couldn't help but walk to Wu Shan and ask, "General Wu, when will this news arrive?"

However, Wu Shan remained calm and smiled to the Vice General Zhang, then waved his hand: "General Zhang, don't be impatient, wait here with me for a while, I think it will be in a short while."

The torches outside the camp were lit all night, and the candles in Wu Shan's tent were also flickering. It was already deep into the night, and the patrolling soldiers didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest, afraid that something would go wrong. As Wu Shan was talking with the Vice General Zhang, the cooing of pigeons came from outside the camp.

Vice General Zhang was still frowning tightly as he looked nervously at Wu Shan. Wu Shan took a glance outside the tent, and a faint trace of joy surfaced on his face as he turned around and nodded towards Vice General Zhang. "We're here!"

Vice General Zhang then reacted and rushed out of the camp to carry the carrier pigeon to the entrance. He carefully removed the letter from the carrier pigeon's leg and touched the carrier pigeon's wings as he said to himself, "Little fellow, it's been hard on you."

Wu Shan slowly stood up and couldn't help but laugh when he saw Vice General Zhang's excited expression. Although Vice General Zhang was a military brute, he was very meticulous sometimes. He looked at the carrier pigeon with a face of love, making Wu Shan really want to laugh.

Vice General Zhang did not notice anything amiss and immediately passed the letter to Wu Shan and respectfully said, "Please examine it, General Wu."

The order was like a mountain. Although the Vice General Zhang was a lot older than Wu Shan, Wu Shan was after all, the commander of the army, and no one dared to disrespect him.

Looking at the small letter in Vice General Zhang's hands, Wu Shan lightly nodded his head. Only then did he naturally receive it.

"General Wu, what exactly is in the letter?" Vice General Zhang stood at the side, feeling anxious.

Wu Shan looked carefully, and then slowly let out a breath of relief. His eyes flickered as he looked out of the tent. Then, he muttered to himself, "I was just wondering why Southwest sent people down in such a hurry. So that's how it is."

"But what's the matter?" Vice General Zhang still did not know what happened as he asked anxiously.

Wu Shan turned his head to look at Vice General Zhang, and then said to him: "Our army's spy wrote that there was a plague in the Southwest Army Camp, and the plague is approaching menacingly, causing many soldiers to fall ill. Even the imperial physicians were sent to the army to help treat the army's doctors, but they were still unable to do anything. And it is precisely because of this that they decided at the last moment to send people to surrender and negotiate peace. "

Hearing Wu Shan's words, the Vice General Zhang finally understood and nodded his head. So it was like this, the enemy's plague broke out, causing the fighting strength of the soldiers to be reduced. It is impossible for them to continue to fight against our army. It would be a wise choice for them to send people here at this time to negotiate. "

The news had been confirmed, and it seemed that the enemy's surrender would not be false.

Thinking of this, Wu Shan also slightly calmed down.
