He Liantao had already personally led the army to the south, so naturally he didn't know what happened to Wang Ting.

The ranger he sent out brought him news that tens of thousands of Han Chinese cavalry were found less than fifteen miles away from them.

This news made the generals in Dihu's army very excited. After all, their [-] Tiger Division can charge in front of the enemy at a distance of fifteen miles. .

But unexpectedly, He Liantao rejected the proposal of Dihu generals to take the initiative to attack. Instead, he set up camp on the spot in disregard of everyone's opposition, as if he was not worried that the enemy would take the opportunity to attack their camp.

But what surprised them was that after a while, the Han people just set up camp on the ground, and had no intention of attacking their camp at all.

The two sides seemed to have a tacit understanding, but they just faced each other quietly, neither sending troops to attack, nor sending envoys to each other to negotiate, as if they were silently waiting for something.

Wang Sheng was brought into the Wang Tent by several Dihu soldiers. He Liantao was the only one in the Wang Tent, looking at Wang Sheng with a half-smile, but Wang Sheng kept his mouth shut and remained silent.

He also heard about Qin King Xiao Huang leading his army to the north, but he could understand Xiao Huang's difficulty in putting the overall situation first, so he didn't resent Xiao Huang, and decided to face the fate of being used by the Dihu people to sacrifice the flag.

But to his surprise, He Liantao did not execute him in a fit of anger, but took him to the south to face Xiao Huang, which made him uneasy, worried that the Dihu people would threaten Xiao Huang with their lives , leaving Xiao Huang in a dilemma.

Now that the two armies are facing each other, He Liantao suddenly wants to see him. Although Wang Sheng can't guess the other party's intentions, he secretly made up his mind. If He Liantao wants to harm His Highness King Qin, he would rather die than let him succeed.

Just when Wang Sheng made up his mind, He Liantao finally spoke first: "Tell General Wang the good news, you will soon be able to see His Highness King Qin whom you miss day and night."

Wang Sheng couldn't help being slightly startled when he heard the words, as if he couldn't believe his ears: "What does Khan mean by that?"

He Liantao smiled faintly, and repeated his meaning: "My meaning is very simple, I intend to let you return to your Highness King Qin."

Wang Sheng couldn't help being ecstatic. After all, from the day he was detained by the Dihu people and could not return, he no longer had any hope of returning to the Central Plains, and he was even ready to die in a foreign land.

But he didn't expect that He Liantao decided to let him go back to the Central Plains now.

But after the ecstasy, Wang Sheng calmed down quickly. Guessing that things would never be so simple, he suppressed the joy in his heart forcibly, and said with a sneer, "I'm afraid that Khan's release will be conditional."

"Sure enough, he is a smart man!" He Liantao laughed, and then said, "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. The condition is very simple, and you can definitely do it."

Although He Liantao said so, Wang Sheng couldn't see any slack on his face: "Khan should just tell me what you want Wang Sheng to do."

He Liantao took a deep look at Wang Sheng: "It's very simple, I need you to say a word to your Highness King Qin for me, and tell him that I want to meet him."

Wang Sheng was stunned for a moment...

……

"Your Highness, could this be Heliantao's trick to take advantage of the opportunity to harm His Highness?"

Until he walked into Qin King Xiao Huang's camp, Wang Sheng still felt as if he was in a dream, and he couldn't believe that the Dihu people released him so easily.

Because of this, he was always a little uneasy, always felt that Heliantao had other plans, so after telling Xiao Huang about Heliantao's conditions, he subconsciously expressed his concerns.

Xiao Huang didn't speak after listening, but frowned tightly, as if he was also thinking about something.

Guo Liang who was on the side couldn't help but take the quarrel, and persuaded Xiao Huang, "Yes, Your Highness, I think Vice General Wang is right, this Helian Tao is not a kind person, and my subordinates are also worried that he will take the opportunity to set up an ambush. This will be detrimental to His Highness."

"Furthermore, now that Deputy General Wang has returned, He Liantao no longer has any bargaining chips in his hands that can threaten His Highness, so why should His Highness let him manipulate him?"

"It's because He Liantao let people go first that I'm going to meet him." Xiao Huang finally stopped being silent, but he scared Wang Sheng and Guo Liang when he opened his mouth.

Wang Sheng fell to his knees immediately, and tried hard to persuade him: "Your Highness is responsible for the safety of the army, so you can't put yourself in danger. If it's because of the Dihu people releasing me, I, Wang Sheng, would rather die in the Dihu people's army."

Xiao Huang shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "I, Xiao Huang, am not a pedantic person, and I won't feel that I owe He Liantao a favor just because he took the initiative to let him go... The reason why I am willing to meet him is because I guessed that he would let him go." The intention of Wang Sheng to come back."

Wang Sheng was a little puzzled: "According to His Highness, does He Liantao have other plans to release me?"

Xiao Huang glanced at Wang Sheng, nodded and said: "If He Liantao keeps you in Dihu, you will be the most powerful weapon in his hands to threaten me, and he can use this to detain me for colluding with Dihu people at any time. The accusation made me cast aside by the world, which is why I have never sent anyone to directly respond to whether he agrees to cooperate with him."

"It was because the subordinate was incompetent and couldn't get out early, so that he fell into the hands of He Liantao, so that His Highness was under the control of others. I hope His Highness will punish him." Wang Sheng was ashamed when he heard this.

"It's not your fault." Xiao Huang stepped forward to support Wang Sheng, shook his head, "If I hadn't sent you to the royal court, you wouldn't have been detained by Heliantao until now. I, Xiao Huang, have forgiven you."

Hearing Xiao Huang's words, Wang Sheng only felt his nose a little sore, his heart was more moved, and he felt even more ashamed.

Xiao Huang then changed the subject and continued: "But since he let you back now, he is voluntarily giving up a handle that can threaten me, in order to show his sincerity to me, and tell me that he is willing to talk to me again about cooperation. Do you think I shouldn't meet him?"

"But the Dihu people are always cunning, and He Liantao is even more ruthless." Although he said this, but Wang Shengjiu has been in the royal court for a long time, and of course he has seen Heliantao's ruthless methods, so he still has some concerns in his heart, "Subordinate I'm still worried that He Liantao will not keep his promise and set up an ambush secretly, and if there is trouble at that time, His Highness's life will be in danger, and the [-] army will be in danger."

"Just don't worry, He Liantao is not a fool." Xiao Huang sneered, "Now that Wu Ji was born out of nowhere, traveling across Mobei, He Liantao and the Dihu people should have noticed that Daning can beat them. I, Xiao Huang, are not the only ones who are barbarians. If I kill me at this time, there will be no other benefit except to increase the old and new hatred with our Daning, but it will make our Daning unite as one, and it will be even more unfavorable to them Dihu , he will also lose a potential partner, with his resourcefulness, he can't do such a stupid thing."

Speaking of this, Wang Sheng and Guo Liang naturally couldn't continue to persuade, so they could only tell Xiao Huang to be more careful.

That night, three fast horses left the Ning army's barracks overnight and headed north.
