Within a few days, the Li army broke through the kiln pass and garrisoned the city.

The kiln is within the boundaries of Luzhou, and it is only six cities away from the imperial city. The army penetrated deep into the hinterland, and with it came a boundless panic. To attack the imperial city, the Li army must attack with the whole army, and it is impossible to draw half of the troops and horses left to guard the city that has been laid, so it has to plunder the grain, grass and military resources. Although the Li army was full of supplies, the division was tired of labor, and Wang Yang was about to pursue, and now there were blockages in front of the troops and chasing soldiers after the pursuers, and the situation was very tense.

Cangluan was in the north, as long as he died in a foreign country, Shu Jin could avoid dozens of vicious battles.

In the empty hall, Shu Jin was furious, clenched his fists and buried his head on the desk to pretend to sleep. The Xiongnu went against his will, did not hijack Cangluan, but attacked the Central Plains, and trapped him in dire straits, which was no less than pushing him to the precipice. He is now a fish in a rut, and it is difficult to advance or retreat. As for Feng Danmiao, he only believed in him sixty percent, I don't know if his expectations were too high, or the strength of the Yan army was too strong, and the speed of the Li army's march was far less than he wanted, he suspected that Feng Danmiao had reservations and did not go all out. Fortunately, the princes did not move, and they did not assist Cangluan, which shows that there is a lot of contention.

Now that Cangluan is one foot closer to the Central Plains, the threat to Shu Jin will be one more zhang, and once Cangluan returns to Luzhou, it will be a catastrophe for Shu Jin. The situation is urgent, and if the Huns don't do it, he has to do it.

Shu Jin got up and sat up straight, summoned a general, and ordered: "Draw 30,000 troops, immediately go to the north to ambush Cangluan, remember to be quiet, you must be fast, you must take his life." ”

"Yes, King Li." The general nodded firmly, turned and left.

After the general left, the minister who sent the envoy to Qianzhou came back to reply to Shu Jin, briefly saying what Lin Zhiling meant. "Back to King Li, Qianshou promised to join forces with King Li, on the condition that King Li promised to expand another two hundred miles above the original fief."

Shu Jin didn't hesitate when he heard this, and said: "Yes, please reply to Lord Zhen, and say that the northern territory is thousands of miles up to him." ”

Seeing that Shu Jin was unthinking and child's play, Li Chen dissuaded: "Expanding the fief is not trivial, it is not a market sale, and I ask King Li to consider it again." ”

"No, my lordship will do as the king says. I remember to tell them that the king had only reluctantly accepted their terms after careful consideration, and that he had to make a gesture of being willing to do so. ”

Shu Jin was not without careful consideration, but planned to seal the land that he had negotiated with the Xiongnu to Zhen Bing, the Xiongnu wanted to take a thousand miles of land, while the Qianren only took Bailier, and they would make a profit without loss. Moreover, the Xiongnu had completely provoked him, and if one day the deer died at his hands, he would inevitably have to suffer some hardships for the Xiongnu, and instead of assigning the land to an outsider who poisoned him and betrayed him, it was better to divide the land to the people who were also the sons of Zhou Tian.

Hearing all of Shu Jin's plans, Li Chen was relieved and said: "Since King Li has a measured heart, the minister immediately replied to Qian Shou, and the minister retired." ”

After the minister left, Shu Jin was left alone in the hall, accompanied by a green lamp and his lonely black shadow, and his heart was unprecedentedly lonely. He was in prison, even though in the warmer season, the surroundings were like snow and ice, and he had nowhere to hide. If he were by his side, he would still have a reliable arm, but where is he now? Wei Ya's meaning for him is not a lover who stays together for a lifetime, but his lifelong spiritual support. Now he had to look back on the time when he had taken care of himself in every possible way, and find a little solace in it.

However, in the end, it only increased his sadness, and he returned to his senses weakly, and once again buried his head in thinking about the motives of the Huns. And in the Hun camp there, Shan Yu was also figuring out Shu Jin's thoughts.

Alone in the experience of a hundred battles, he told him that the so-called war is nothing more than a psychological contest between the boss and the manager. If a coach is fragile and mentally weak, then even if he leads a million heroes, even if he has many virtuous ministers to assist, no matter how favorable the conditions he occupies, he will only end in failure. And Shu Jin is a person who can stand up to scrutiny, he is young but not vigorous, smart but not stubborn.

After previous negotiations, Shan Yu admired Shu Jin's courage very much, and once said frankly that if Shu Jin was a woman, she would definitely be his favorite imperial concubine.

However, appreciating and appreciating, Shu Jin is his enemy in the end. Shu Jin and Cangluan are young and promising, no matter who among them is the lord of the Central Plains, they can work hard, enrich the country and strengthen the army, and if the neighboring countries are strong, they will be afraid of their own country, which he does not want to see. As another huge empire in the world, he doesn't need a strong neighbor, he wants an incompetent small country that has paid tribute to him year after year, he wants the fall of Zhou Tianxia, and he wants Yan Li to lose both. The "joint forces" he made with Shu Jin were just to trick Shu Jin into sending troops, weakening Cangluan's strength, and provoking civil strife in the Central Plains in order to take advantage of the situation. Now compared to the blocking of King Wu and King Ji in front of him, he was more worried about whether Cangluan would be able to return safely.

Shan Yu said to his ministers: "King Li ordered me to kidnap Emperor Yan, I have broken the contract, and I am bound to turn against me." Guess what King Li will do? ”

The Xiongnu ministers exchanged heads and discussions, and then one of them stood up and said: "If King Li wants to attack Luzhou, it will cost thousands of troops and horses, and it will only take tens of thousands of people to kidnap Emperor Yan, and King Li will not be unaware of the stakes." So I think King Li will definitely do it himself and send someone to intercept and kill Emperor Yan. ”

Shan Yu: "What you said is as I thought, I plan to send 20,000 soldiers and horses to secretly escort Emperor Yan back to Luzhong, how about it?" ”

The Xiongnu ministers hesitated and asked: "The ministers have something unclear, if we return to the mountain, will Emperor Yan clean up King Li first or counterattack us first?" If Emperor Yan fights King Li first, in this way, King Li said that he will give all the soldiers and horses to Emperor Yan, and when Emperor Yan has heavy troops, we have no certainty of victory. ”

Shan Yu laughed loudly: "Ignorant people, you don't understand the Li people, if you don't exhaust a single soldier, King Li will not admit defeat, once the Li State was annexed by the Emperor Xing, which of the Li soldiers can succumb?" What's more, Feng Danmiao is under his command, and he is bound to be desperate. Besides, how could I let King Li admit defeat when he had plenty of troops? I assisted him when he fell, and I attacked Emperor Yan when he fell, and we didn't attack until they were dead. ”

Minister: "If King Li hates us to the core, takes revenge instead of yielding, and surrenders his soldiers and horses to Cangluan, won't we invite trouble?" ”

Shan Yu's expression suddenly became stern, but the minister's words alerted him, he did not deny the occurrence of this situation, so the war was a psychological contest. Shu Jin naturally will not give in, but it is not ruled out that he will retaliate. If that is the case, Cangluan will definitely concentrate his forces to drive him out of the Central Plains, although the Xiongnu will not die, but huge losses will be inevitable. But if you are afraid of losing soldiers and don't gamble, what kind of soldiers are you talking about?

Shan Yu glared angrily and said fiercely: "Then fight!" ”

Outside the customs.

The battle situation in Luzhou was frequently reported, and Cangluan was already restless, eager to return to the imperial capital immediately with the skill of flying away. Let's not talk about returning to Luzhou, I am afraid it will be half a month before I return to the Central Plains. Although Yan Jun was not ambushed by traitors along the way, Cangluan consciously told him that this day was coming.

Cangluan ordered the prisoner cart with fish to be moved to the head of the army, and his co-conspirators sat in the chariot and followed behind the prisoner cart. The poison on Cangluan's body has not yet been resolved, and he has lost a lot of weight, but his anger is still gone, but he has lost his former courage. He has been staring at Youyu's back for a morning, secretly imitating the charm of Youyu, but he can't catch the "magic pen" in Youyu's bones. He imitated, far-fetched to make an aggrieved expression, sniffed, and then put his fingers in his nostrils...

After all, Cangluan was defeated by Lang Dang, who had a fish, and slapped his right hand with his left hand in disgust, he was ashamed of having a fish.

He was not extremely bored, but he had a plan, and asked the advisors around him knowingly: "In your opinion, is it safe for me to sit here?" ”

The minister lowered his head and said solemnly: "Your Majesty is really sitting here and waiting to die. ”

Cangluan: "You are telling the truth about what you are afraid of, raise your head." ”

"Yes."

Cangluan ruled the country strictly, and the minister was probably a little afraid in his heart, so he reluctantly raised his head and analyzed, "Whoever plots Da Yan will seek His Majesty, whether it is the Li people or the Huns, it is possible to intercept and kill His Majesty, and His Majesty must not be guarded against." ”

"So," Cangluan curled the corners of his mouth wickedly, pointing to Youyu, "I plan to let him wear this dragon robe. ”

"Let the enemy miss the passenger car?" The minister suddenly realized and said with admiration, "Your Majesty is wise." ”

Cangluan: "Go ahead and do it." ”

The army stopped, and the fish looked around curiously, only to see a group of guards in the distance unraveling the curtain and forming a closed circle. There is such a picture that fish has seen on TV - the emperor fights in the wild/war, and he is surrounded by shame like this.

Youyu didn't think about what Cangluan wanted, he just squatted by himself, he hadn't bathed for a long time, unkempt, and uncomfortable. He was tickling his body, not wanting to be dragged out of the car by a group of people, so he dragged straight to the side of the curtain.

In the curtain, Cangluan sat precariously with a cold face, and some fish only felt panicked.

"Do what?" Youyu plucked up the courage to ask.

Cangluan said ruthlessly: "Do it." ”

The guards obeyed the order, knocked down Youyu in three or two blows, then pulled off his prison clothes, splashed a large bucket of water on him, and then scrubbed his whole body with a damp cloth, with full force.

"What's the situation? Hey, hey, what do you want! ”

Youyu was stunned and messy, instinctively resisting the guard's hands, and the more he struggled, the more rude the guard's movements became. As if he was being beaten by a pack, he shuddered like a wounded wolf cub in front of his predators. And under Cangluan's cold eyelids, the red striped body made his Yuzun even more devastated.

And there are fish on this side who are still in a daze, and Cangluan over there has begun to strip expressionlessly. Youyu's eyes widened in horror, and he kicked wildly, and a terrible consciousness suddenly appeared in his mind, although it was not boundary, but he couldn't think of any more reasonable explanation other than that—Cangluan wouldn't be trying to whitewash himself and... And then slept? Just Cangluan's "sexual/cold" face... Youyu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, he had heard of rape/corpse, but he had never heard of corpse/rape! He struggled even harder, and let him be a slave and a prisoner, and he accepted his fate, if he wanted to be a prostitute... Is it tolerable or unbearable!

"I'd rather die!" A fish looked up and bit down on the guard's arm.

Cangluan couldn't understand the meaning of Youyu's "I'd rather die than obey", and only felt that Youyu toasted and didn't eat and drink, which made people whip him.

The hot whip marks were burned on the back, and there were big drops of sweat secreted from the fish brain, and the pain was so painful that he didn't dare to complain, so he only bit the end of his hair.

"Huh? Learned to enjoy? Cangluan's impression of a fish would only complain, but now it seems to be a lot more mature, and he raised his hand to signal the guards to stop.

The guard stopped whipped his whip, and a fish breathed through the air, and then looked at Cangluan, who had already put on a dirty prison coat and tied his hair to a wolf.

It turned out that I was thinking too much... There are fish with red faces and red ears, and they swallow their anger.

At the last moment, he didn't know why Cangluan was wearing a prison robe, but at this moment, he only knew that he was inexplicably wrapped in a dragon robe. He didn't know Cangluan's intentions, but subconsciously told him that it was definitely a trick.
