"In your opinion, what can I exchange for you?" Qian Xiaoxing asked tentatively.

Ma Hua was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He just said that these people were the best cavalry in Dalin. It was obvious that they were adding chips to the exchange. Now he realized that he had fallen into Qian Xiaoxing's trick and immediately said: "What do you like to change is what!"

Qian Xiaoxing pretended to be meditated and thought about it and said, "I think those soldiers will change to a sheep. You are a general, and I think you will change to a cow, haha."

When Ma Hua heard Qian Xiaoxing exchange them for cattle and sheep, he felt angry and funny. He sighed at their low value and also sighed at Qian Xiaoxing's stupidity. He looked at Qian Xiaoxing a few times and stopped answering.

What Qian Xiaoxing wanted to know was almost done. He rode a horse and rushed the Lin army prisoners to Panlong Pass. At dusk, he finally arrived at Panlong Pass. He cleaned up a place inside the pass and asked the Lin army to be imprisoned and arranged soldiers to guard them closely.

Qian Xiaoxing asked the soldiers to call Ma Hua to the Panlong Pass regiment headquarters and said to Ma Hua: "General Ma, please write a letter. I will bring it to you King Lin to show it to prove that you were indeed captured by our army."

Ma Hua hesitated for a moment, but for the lives of nearly 9,000 people under his command, he had to pick up a pen and write it. The letter was as follows: Report to my king, my cavalry department was besieged by the Si army in the city of Juma. The Si army took advantage of the thief of my horse to trap my soldiers in the city of Juma. He had no food and drink for two days, and had no choice but to surrender to the Si army. Now his troops are 8,865 people, who have been captured in Panlong Guanzhong. The other soldiers died in battle while trying to break through. I also hope that my king would like to think about the soldiers' contributions to the country in the past to save our troops from the trap. Signed by: Ma Hua

Qian Xiaoxing took it and looked it, shook his head and smiled, "General Ma, if you write like this, it would be strange if Lin Guo didn't blame you for leading the army. Even if you go back, you will probably not have any good results."

Ma Hua was shocked after hearing this, but he shook his head helplessly and said, "As long as other soldiers can go back, it is worth it even if I die."

"I can't tell you are very caring about soldiers," Qian Xiaoxing nodded in agreement and said, "Since you love soldiers so much, I can help you reduce the charges. I don't know if General Ma is willing or not."

"What method is it? I wish to hear and see." Ma Hua clasped his fists and said.

Qian Xiaoxing said slowly: "Actually, our army has known about the transaction between Hu and Lin for a long time. The reason is that I received a letter of intelligence, but I don't know who gave it to me. The content is that Hu asked Lin for assistance in sending troops, so I know the movements of your troops. Now I want to come back, you Lin may have been trapped in Hu's tricks. That information was deliberately revealed to me by Hu."

"Really?" Mahua was surprised and asked, "Why did Hu Guo do this?"

Qian Xiaoxing replied: "The Hu State does this with all benefits but no harm. If you really break our army, they will pick up the ready-made occupation of the Cangqiu Pass. If you are defeated and weaken the Lin State's military strength, they can also make Lin State and Si State an enemy, and let Si State shift the focus of the war to Lin State. They can watch the fire from the other side of the river and watch our two countries fight. If the cranes and clams want to fight, he will reap the benefits of the fisherman."

After hearing this, Ma Hua slapped the table in anger and scolded loudly: "Hu Guo is so sinister!"

Qian Xiaoxing took advantage of the situation and said, "So, as long as you indicate in the letter that it was Hu's treacherous plan, your cavalry will be trapped, but Hu's intentionally designed to frame it, then you can reduce the charge."

"Yes!" Ma Hua nodded and said, "I'll write it."

Ma Hua wrote under the letter: It is reported that the besieged of Hu State this time was a traitor of Hu State. Hu State had long informed the Si State of our army, which led to the defeat. Please ask Wang Lin to check.

After reading it, Qian Xiaoxing had no objection, so he put it in his arms and said to Ma Hua: "General Ma, please take care of your soldiers strictly and not let them do anything out of order. I can only guarantee that our Si Jun will not take the initiative to attack you, but if you want to resist, we will kill you without mercy."

After hearing this, Ma Hua replied: "That's certain. Please go to Lin Country as soon as possible and let our brothers return to China as soon as possible."

"Of course, you go back first." After that, Qian Xiaoxing ordered the soldiers to take Ma Hua back.

Qian Xiaoxing then rode his horse back to Guandu and reported the matter to King Si. King Si had been understanding the battle situation through the light signal. He knew that Qian Xiaoxing had blocked the Hu army, trapped the Lin army and captured nearly 9,000 people. He was so surprised that he could not believe that more than five times the force could be surrounded by the other party, but Qian Xiaoxing only used half of the opponent's force, and it was indeed not easy to surround the Lin army.

Of course, this was accomplished only when all the conditions were met. For example, there were no people or food in the Jima City, while the Lin army had only cavalry without bows and arrows, and the moat and the suspension bridge burned. With the Si army's incendiary bombs and thunder chariots, if one condition was missing, it might not be able to be besieged.

When King Si heard that Qian Xiaoxing was going to Linguo for negotiations, he was very worried. However, if this matter was not handled properly, it would be a future problem. After he ordered Qian Xiaoxing to be careful, he nodded helplessly.

King Si recently arranged for the people who fled to Macheng and Longzhan City to come to Guandu and Liufeng City for temporary refuge, and they were also very busy and tired. Qian Xiaoxing asked King Si to rest and take care of his health, and the two said goodbye and separated.

Qian Xiaoxing left Si Wang's residence and saw Si Yingying outside the door. Si Yingying lowered her head and stood outside the door. When she saw Qian Xiaoxing coming out, she asked in a low voice: "Brother Xing, are you really going to Lin Country? Can you not go?"

Qian Xiaoxing took Si Yingying's hand and said seriously: "Yingying, for the future of Si Guo, I must go. Only by getting Huju Pass can we not be bullied by Lin Guo. By the way, let me tell you a good news. Lin Guo is no longer ready to continue your marriage, so you are free now, and you will marry whoever you want."

"Really!" Si Yingying jumped happily when she heard this. For a long time, this matter has been in my heart. Now that I finally don't need to marry Lin Guo, I feel particularly relaxed.

"Do you think about being your husband?" Qian Xiaoxing was happy for Si Yingying's happy expression.

Si Yingying stepped forward and kissed Qian Xiaoxing, and said angrily: "I don't want you to be so fickle."

Qian Xiaoxing sighed and said, "Forgive me for being unruly and indulging in love with freedom all my life."

"You love freedom, I think you love beauty, you love each other," Si Yingying smiled.

"I have a heart that cannot be bound, so there is nothing I can do about that." Qian Xiaoxing defended.

Si Yingying had no choice but to sigh: "Yes, it would be strange if a person like you only loves one woman."

Qian Xiaoxing smiled wickedly and said, "But, the person I love the most now is you. Why don't we enhance our relationship at night?"

"Bah, I ignore you. Brother Xing, why are you sweating all over? I'll ask someone to boil water to take a shower for you." Si Yingying said.

Qian Xiaoxing raised his arms and smelled it. He had been busy with war for several days and had not taken a shower. He smiled and said, "Okay, then can you serve me to take a shower?"

Si Yingying's pretty face turned red and she said, "You and I haven't gotten married yet, how can I serve you?"

Qian Xiaoxing remembered that the last time Si Yingying promised to retake Longzhan City, she got married with him, but the war was busy and there was no time at all. Si Yingying's wedding must be grand. If she didn't prepare well, she couldn't hold it. So she said, "It's okay, Lin Guo's marriage has been cancelled. You will be mine sooner or later, so you should practice it first."

Si Yingying was also a little moved by Qian Xiaoxing's words. The engagement with Lin Guo was cancelled, and she felt no burden in her heart. She replied: "Then you have to wear shorts, I will wash it for you."

Qian Xiaoxing didn't expect that Si Yingying really agreed. Such a pretty and beautiful princess actually served her to take a bath. That was a great pleasure.

Not long after, Si Yingying asked someone to put a large bathtub in the house, add hot water, and colorful petals floated on the water surface. As soon as the hot water evaporated, the fragrance suddenly overflowed.

"Madam, give me clothes to my husband." Qian Xiaoxing raised his arms and said with a smile.

Si Yingying was shy and took off Qian Xiaoxing's black military uniform from behind. Looking at the two bars and two stars, she suddenly felt that the pressure on Qian Xiaoxing's shoulders was so great. After taking off her clothes, Qian Xiaoxing's white body suddenly showed up. Although her muscles were not well developed enough, she had some shapes.

"Pants, and pants," Qian Xiaoxing reminded.

Si Yingying glanced at Qian Xiaoxing. He was too lazy to do anything. He had no choice but to untie Qian Xiaoxing's belt, took off his pants, leaving only white boxer shorts.

Qian Xiaoxing immediately jumped into the bathtub with both hands. Si Yingying quickly raised her hand to cover it, but she was also wet.

"It's a rush," Si Yingying cursed, put Qian Xiaoxing's clothes and returned to the next to the bathtub. Seeing Qian Xiaoxing lying comfortably with his eyes closed, slowly untied Qian Xiaoxing's hair, scooped water with a small spoon and washed Qian Xiaoxing's head first.

With the warm water and comfortable backrest, Qian Xiaoxing relaxed all over and was immersed in a comfortable feeling. Si Yingying washed Qian Xiaoxing's head and began to rub his arms from Qian Xiaoxing's palm with a towel.

Qian Xiaoxing felt that his hand was grabbed by Si Yingying's soft little hand, and began to feel distracted. Seeing that his hand was only a little distance from Si Yingying's chest, his palm immediately pressed against Si Yingying's plump chest, feeling the soft and elastic mountain.

Si Yingying was shocked, raised her beautiful eyes and looked at Qian Xiaoxing, but she didn't stop Qian Xiaoxing. She continued to rub her arms and scolded, "You just like to take advantage."

Qian Xiaoxing laughed, but his hands didn't stop and replied, "Oh, your chest seems to be attractive, I can't help but touch it. Wow, it's too soft, good ball."

Si Yingying spread Qian Xiaoxing's hand and said, "Okay, we've changed hands, we haven't stopped yet."

"Oh, that's right. Both the left and right hands must be fair. You can't enjoy it all the time." As he said that, Qian Xiaoxing stretched out his right hand and put it on.

Si Yingying resisted Qian Xiaoxing's attack on her chest, carefully rubbed Qian Xiaoxing's arms, and began to scrub Qian Xiaoxing's back.
