Chapter 16: Sudden Change
Duan He woke up and pushed the door open. The first person I saw was Chu Xiao.
If Chu Xiao had stood at Duan He's door all night, Duan He would definitely believe it. Chu Xiao looked a little haggard now, and as soon as he opened the door, he could see him, as if he had been waiting here for a long time.
"King of Chu." Duan He said.
Chu Xiao nodded and said, "Duan He, you're awake, let's go and eat." ”
With that, Chu Xiao stepped forward and dragged Duan He's arm and walked to another room with Duan He.
In the room, not only Duan He and Chu Xiao, but also several other people were all Chu Xiao's followers. Some people seem to have seen it, but their memories are too vague and difficult to identify for a while.
"Let's eat." Chu said with a smile.
A few people sat down, and then they started, Chu Xiao did not have a king's shelf, a group of people sat here, and the food was very hearty, just like various relatives of a wealthy family sitting together to eat. Even if the food is not good, it is like a group of poor relatives getting together.
All in all, it's all beautiful. Chu Xiao sat here to eat, and everyone ate next to him.
No matter how hearty it is, this is also breakfast, so porridge is indispensable. A thick bowl of porridge with mustard jumps is already a delicious meal in the world. Autumn mornings are also very cold, and it is a blessing in life to have a beautiful porridge at such a time.
Duan He was eating porridge, and when he saw that everyone didn't speak, he was not embarrassed to stir up a topic. The person next to him kept smiling at Duan He, and Duan He could only smile at him. He had a slight impression of the man. However, this is a bit of an impression, and it's not much different from nothing.
After eating for a while, there was something in my stomach. Only then did Chu Xiao get up and said, "Everyone, everyone must know about today's events. This north is unbearable. Now that we've miscalculated, we should continue to think about the next step instead of getting upset here. Everyone, if you still trust me Chu Xiao, please take a cup. ”
Serve the cup, and the cup is soy milk. Duan He got up, Li Siqiu on the side also got up, and everyone saluted Chu Xiao with a bowl.
After drinking this, Duan He whispered to Li Siqiu beside him: "Sister, what did you give birth to?" ”
Li Siqiu leaned on Duan He's ear and whispered: "The war in the north has changed, it seems that there is a truce. ”
"Truce?"
Duan He was a little puzzled, this kind of time is not good for both sides, how can there be a truce at such a time?
Chu Xiao saw Duan He's expression and said, "Duan He, don't think about it. I'll tell you about it in a moment. ”
Duan He was relieved at this time, so he continued to eat with everyone. The atmosphere at the table was not good, and it was clear that this was not a cause for joy.
After eating this meal, Chu Xiao found Duan He.
"Duan He, I'll tell you what happened now. We're not safe right now. ”
"Please make it clear."
The two of them opened the topic in two simple sentences.
"Now that the small countries in the north are attacking the Tang Dynasty here, our Shenwu Kingdom did not send troops, just so that the two families would not make a big fuss because of this. Now, the two countries are truce, which is a good thing. ”
Chu Xiao said this more or less unfortunately, but he quickly continued: "The battle situation of the Huns and others is not good now, although they have an advantage, but the supply line is too long, and it will take a certain amount of time to really supply here. Autumn is coming, and winter is about to begin, and this is not a good time to fight. Therefore, the two families decided to stop fighting to harvest the wheat and fight again next year. ”
After saying this, Duan He pondered for a moment and said, "For Datang, this is a good opportunity. They, just give up? ”
"Not only that, but they even agreed to land cession. Now one-third of the four northern states are Xiongnu. Chu Xiao sighed.
Duan He's face was expressionless, but he was very surprised in his heart. This Datang is absolutely incomprehensible. The supply lines of the Xiongnu themselves are long, and the Tang Dynasty is relatively a big country. This should be Datang's advantage. But now for this matter, he actually gave up a piece of land. This is really a morale-destroying thing, and for Datang, it is a great decadence.
"Why would Datang agree to such conditions?" Duan He asked Chu Xiao.
Chu smiled: "Among them, there should be multiple considerations. Now Datang is like this, and no one knows whether it is rich or not. There was internal chaos, and no one knew whether the emperor was the condition of this agreement. Moreover, the longer this war lasts, the greater the loss for Datang. Such a court that has just been in turmoil absolutely needs to let the war stabilize quickly in order to stabilize itself. ”
"And because of that, you gave up the land?"
Duan He's face was full of disbelief, he was not hiding his current thoughts. He is a person from Datang no matter what, and now that Datang is like this, Duan He's heart will not feel good.
Chu Xiao smiled and said, "Duan He, these things are not what we think. If we could really think it through, we wouldn't have to do it now. Only this time, the Xiongnu in the north will get a huge territory. I, a god-martial country, are difficult to be peaceful. ”
When it comes to Shenwu Kingdom, Chu Xiao will be a little lonely, and it can be seen that he is really concerned about his country.
"Duan He, do you know why I didn't send troops?" Chu Xiao said suddenly.
"But please be clear."
Duan He knew a little better, but Chu Xiao asked this, which meant that there was a reason why he didn't think about it.
Chu Xiao sighed and said, "I, the Divine Martial Kingdom, live in the cracks of this Tang Dynasty. Datang swept the world but only left us, because the whole people are united. If Datang wants to fight us, it's naturally very simple. But if we want to be bitten down, Datang will definitely have to work hard. ”
"But then, everything was fine for us, and we didn't need anything. In such a situation, everyone began to live and work in peace. From the day I can remember, what my family has said to me is why we are in the Kingdom of Jimmu. So life here is simple and clean. This place can make people really live like a person, and it can also allow us to exist simply. ”
"So, I don't crave war. I have no hostility towards Datang, what I want is just to let my people live well. ”
When he said this, Chu Xiao was obviously excited, and said, "That's why I left my hometown here, and everything in the court was handled by Jiang Han." I'm here to watch every move and fumble for what's inside. At the same time, look for talent and arm yourself. In this way, my people can live well. But now, the Xiongnu are strong, and we have become their first opponent. ”
When he said this, Chu Xiao was stunned for a moment, then looked at Duan He, and said, "Perhaps, this is the conspiracy of the Tang Dynasty?" ”
Perhaps.
