Chapter 897 Bet

"I know you won't believe me easily, after all, you and I belong to different camps." Chen Yufei was not surprised by Peng Chuan's attitude. It would be strange if Peng Chuan believed him without a doubt just by listening to his one-sided words.

"Then how does General Chen plan to make me eliminate my doubts?" Peng Chuan said lightly.

"Myself, okay?" Chen Yufei said to Peng Chuan: "I will take myself as a hostage. Before they break through Shanling Pass, I will stay in your camp. If your people are ambushed after entering Shanling Pass, you can kill me."

Peng Chuan stared at Chen Yufei who was calm and composed, and there was still doubt in his eyes: "I still can't accept that a former commander of Shanling Pass would make such a decision."

In Peng Chuan's view, no matter how Chen Yufei is now, he was the commander of Shanling Pass before and one of the important generals of Nanping State. It is indeed incredible that he suddenly changed his position in just a few days, because if it were him, Peng Chuan, even if he was suddenly removed from his position, he would not make such a crazy move.

"I said, I just want to take back what belongs to me." Chen Yufei insisted: "I guarantee it with my own life, General Peng, are you still not assured?"

"No." Peng Chuan shook his head without hesitation and said: "If it is a trap, you will only die in Nanping, but we will have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people sacrificed in Heishui. I dare not bet, and I can't bet."

As the chief general of Heishui, Peng Chuan must be responsible for his team. Although Chen Yufei's proposal made him very tempted, in his opinion, this proposal is more likely to be a trap. If it is really a trap, only one Chen Yufei will die in Nanping, but the casualties on their side will be too great, and it may even cause their Heishui to fall from the sky.

"Don't dare to bet, and can't bet?" Chen Yufei was so angry that he laughed. He always thought highly of himself and thought that Peng Chuan would definitely agree to his proposal. However, he didn't expect that he didn't seem to have much weight in Peng Chuan's eyes.

"According to my observation, your offensive these days is very fierce, more fierce than ever before. If I am not mistaken, you must break through Shanling Pass in a short time for some reason, right?" Chen Yufei said to Peng Chuan.

"What do you want to say?" Peng Chuan's face changed slightly.

"What I want to say, don't you know it in your heart?" Chen Yufei sneered: "Although I don't want to admit it, Pei Yu is indeed capable. You have also experienced it in the past few days. Under this circumstance, do you think that your army of Heishui can break through Shanling Pass in a short time?"

Peng Chuan's face changed again. Through the battles in the past few days, he has also discovered that Shanling Pass this time is more difficult to fight than ever before. Not only is the commander in the city more properly commanded, but also because of the increasing number of battlefield weapons on the top of the city, so Chen Yufei is right. Under the current circumstances, it is very difficult for him to break through Shanling Pass in a short time.

But he didn't have much time left. He was not only under pressure from the emperor of his own country, but also from Shuiyue. In particular, Shuiyue required him to break through Shanling Pass in a short time, and then attack other cities in Nanping. This was already a pressure. Now Yelu Zhen died inexplicably. In this way, he was under more pressure. If the people of Shuiyue knew that he not only failed to break through Shanling Pass in a short time, but also caused Yelu Zhen's death, they would probably not let him go.

Therefore, Peng Chuan was really anxious to break through Shanling Pass.

Chen Yufei looked at Peng Chuan, whose face had changed, and smiled: "Now, the opportunity to break through Shanling Pass is in front of you. It depends on what you think. It's up to you to decide whether to take this gamble or not."

After that, Chen Yufei drank tea slowly, looking very calm.

But in fact, Chen Yufei's heart was definitely not as calm as he showed. It was true that Peng Chuan was anxious to break through Shanling Pass. Chen Yufei was also looking forward to Shanling Pass being broken, so that he would have the opportunity to regain power. Once Peng Chuan failed in front of Shanling Pass, he would completely lose the opportunity to regain his power.

Therefore, Chen Yufei hoped that Peng Chuan could cooperate with him, but he could not show too much eagerness, otherwise, Peng Chuan might suspect that he had other plans.

The tent was very quiet, with only the sound of Chen Yufei drinking tea, and Peng Chuan staring at the table in silence.

"Okay, I promise you!"

After a long time, Peng Chuan finally spoke, and what he said was what Chen Yufei wanted to hear. After hearing Peng Chuan's words, Chen Yufei's heart fell to the ground, and the expression on his face relaxed.

"General Peng, you have made a wise decision. We can cooperate with each other and break through Shanling Pass." Chen Yufei said to Peng Chuan with a relaxed smile on his face.

"I hope so." Peng Chuan did not have the same smile as Chen Yufei. After all, this was not a trivial matter. It could be said that he was gambling: "However, before we break through Shanling Pass, I would like to trouble General Chen to stay here."

"Okay." Chen Yufei nodded without hesitation.

Then, Peng Chuan stood up and walked outside the tent, and said to the soldiers standing guard around the tent: "All troops assemble! Be careful not to make too much noise."

"Yes!"

Under Peng Chuan's order, the soldiers of Black Water Kingdom walked out of the tents and quickly gathered. Because of Peng Chuan's order, the soldiers of Black Water Kingdom moved very lightly, and did not light any other torches, but gathered with the weak light from before.

Peng Chuan looked at the gathering team calmly, and was somewhat nervous. Although he had fought many battles, this one was the most important and the most incredible. He actually had to trust an old opponent for many years and cooperate with him. He had never thought of this before, but he had no better way at the moment, so he could only choose this.

This was a gamble, a gamble that Chen Yufei did not lie to him. Although there was a great risk, he had to gamble for his own future and personal safety. If he lost the gamble, the army would inevitably be severely damaged, and even if he did not die here, he would be sentenced to death by the emperor.

If this battle is successful, he will surely be able to take Shanling Pass and at the same time, sweep across other towns in Nanping State and complete his previously established goals. Not only will he be able to save his own life and future, but he will also be able to achieve great achievements and leave his name in history.
