Chapter 118: Here Comes the Messenger
After a night's rest, the sergeants recovered a lot of physical strength. As soon as the sun came out, everyone's mood was high. Although there were brothers who were killed or wounded before the battle, the overall battle situation was very optimistic, and some people had begun to look forward to the life of the whole family after receiving military merits.
The night guard is about to change the guard, and the replacement has already arrived. A sharp-eyed man suddenly shouted: "Huns! ”
The people around him looked in the direction of his finger.
The small black dot in front of the field of vision grew larger and larger, and someone picked up a crossbow and prepared to shoot an arrow. The arrow "swished" out, but it didn't shoot accurately. Annoyed, he was about to be picked up again, and the person next to him pressed his hand and said, "Listen, are you shouting?" ”
The archer put down the guy in his hand and pricked up his ears, as if he heard someone shouting leisurely, and he couldn't hear what he was shouting, but he was definitely shouting.
The person next to him said, "It's just a few people, let's get closer first, and then talk about it, it'll be fine." I'm staring, you go and report to the chief. ”
When the arrow came just now, it almost hurt someone. But then he didn't again, and Mao Dun was relieved. He asked the little man who shouted the most sheep to come over, and he was right. This guy's voice can float far, far away.
"You keep shouting, keep shouting, I'll tell you to stop, you stop again!"
The little man opened his voice and began to shout, he shouted the tune of his sheep herding, but the content was not "come back, come back", but "don't fight, don't fight".
The Qin army in front of the field of vision became clearer and clearer. Each of them was dressed in black, heavily armoured, and each held a crossbow in his hand, as if he was about to shoot. The little man's voice began to weaken.
"Don't be afraid, I'm going to shoot early, I'm going to wait until now. They're there to scare us. Keep shouting! ”
The little man had no choice but to continue shouting, Hengzhu had come out, and he was dead, and Shan Yu should not treat his family badly.
"What is this shouting?" The tun chief asked the person next to him.
The person next to him listened carefully: "He said don't fight, don't fight." ”
"Don't fight? Do they have something to say? The tun chief asked suspiciously.
The man next to him said, "I'll ask him." He asked in simple Hun dialect: "What for?" Stood still and spoke, I couldn't move forward! ”
Hearing his words, several Hun cavalry who came really stood still. Although he stood still, the little one was still shouting "Don't fight, don't fight!" ”
The rider next to him gestured, and his bright voice finally stopped.
The person who made the gesture said loudly: "We are sending a letter, and we have a message to General Meng Tian, we can negotiate, and we will fight again if we can't negotiate." ”
The officer who shouted looked at the person suspiciously, he had not heard that his side had the intention of peace talks, but at his level, he might not be able to know the intention of the high-level? Thinking of this, he said, "Don't move, wait where you are, I'll report it." After speaking, he said to the tun chief: "Look at them, they are here to deliver the letter, they want to negotiate, but we have instigated them." With that, he left.
The news reached Meng Tian's big tent one by one, and Meng Tian thought about it quietly. He was going to fight with all his might, but he hadn't tasted Touman's Chinese army yet, but he didn't expect them to admit it so quickly. To accept or not to accept?
I always feel that it is a pity to accept the peace talks, but the current situation is improving, and it is entirely possible to achieve greater results. But if he refuses, not only will he go against the emperor's intention of sending Fusu, but he may also trap himself in it. Of course, it is not difficult for him to block the news, and he has absolute control over the whole army. He was afraid that the time would drag on too long, the logistics would not be able to keep up, the sergeants would have negative emotions, and the masters led by Li Si in the court had something to say.
Come to think of it, this battle was beautiful enough. The achievements he has made the Meng family glorious for a long time, it is better to be safe, my father always said that it is safe and secure, and it is already taken care of God to be able to fight everywhere over the years and be unscathed, and he can no longer take risks easily.
Give up some opportunities to Fusu, this is the future successor.
"Okay, you go and talk back, just say that the negotiations will be in four days, and the negotiation place will be in their so-called head Manchester City."
When the sergeant who delivered the letter returned to the camp, Fusu, Xiaohan and Zhang Long were listening to Ergouzi's experience of visiting their fellow villagers.
Ergouzi said: "The old man said that he had heard that someone had dug up black stones when digging kilns, but he couldn't tell where they were. ”
Xiao Shanzi said: "Well, when I went to that village, some people also said that. ”
Fusu asked, "What is the name of that village?" ”
Ergouzi said: "Sour jujube puzi." ”
Xiao Han repeated: "Sour jujube puzi? ”
Ergouzi nodded affirmatively: "Well, it is said that the crooked trees near them are all sour jujube trees. ”
Xiao Han nodded, it's easy to talk about the location.
I was about to let the second dog take it to see it, but Kansai at the door said, "Someone is looking for the eldest son." ”
Fusu stood up and walked outside the door, only to see a few sergeants coming from a distance, one of whom was a personal soldier who often followed Meng Tian, and Fusu hurriedly greeted him.
"How? How's it going? ”
The pro-soldier hurriedly saluted, and then said: "Report to the eldest prince, the fight is very good, the east and west fronts have basically defeated the left and right armies of the Huns, forcing them to have no choice, and sent someone to send a letter, saying that they want peace talks." General Meng Tian asked me to wait to inform the eldest prince, looking forward to the eldest prince's departure and presiding over the negotiations. ”
When Fusu heard this, he was overjoyed, he had achieved such a result in just a few days, Meng Tian was indeed powerful. He looked at the dust on the sergeants and said with concern: "We have won, what about the casualties of the soldiers?" ”
The soldier's heart warmed and said, "It's okay." This time it was mainly intelligence work that was done well, so there were few casualties. Everyone is very energetic now. The injured were already in transit, and we hurried back to report the news. General Meng Tian asked the Huns to negotiate in four days at their original head, Manchester City. So, Childe, you have to get ready to go. ”
"Okay, okay, I'm ready to leave here."
The next step is to prepare for departure.
Fusu flipped through the clothes Mu Mu had prepared for him and nodded with satisfaction. He can wear old clothes in front of his father, but not in front of the Huns, his image is the image of the country, and the dignified China can only be looked up to.
"Hey, Xiaohan, are you still wearing men's clothes?"
Xiao Han nodded and said, "Well, it's convenient on the road." Besides, it was the son who negotiated, and we entourages didn't need to be so bright. ”
Fusu said "oh". In his heart, Xiao Han should play a very important role in the negotiation, and she has been involved in this matter from beginning to end. But now Xiao Han thinks that Cain is behind him, so he takes the initiative to hide, which makes him very moved.
In Xiao Han's heart, there are hundreds of thousands of troops pressing opposite the Huns, and at this time, there is basically no need for a few back and forth, you can do whatever you want, and if you can't negotiate, you can fight. In the face of true strength, all cunning is a floating cloud.
Moreover, she can't make it pretty. In this negotiation, we will definitely see Maudun.
That Maudun, who is said in the history books to be a famous pervert, provokes women everywhere, which makes him jealous. The strategist Chen Ping took advantage of this and sent a letter to his Yan clan, saying that the woman in Niangzi Village was so beautiful, and if Mao Dunshan continued to hover around Bai Mountain, I am afraid that her position would be unstable. So, the stupid girl blew the pillow wind and relieved the siege of Han Gaozu Baideng.
Although it is a story, it cannot be fully believed, but it is not comfortable for the pervert to look at it a few times. Although Fusu is also quite colorful, she can happily accept his color, and the Huns forget it.
Everything was ready to stop, and Mu Mu, Ding Man, Peng Peng, Youzhi, Youliang, and all the guards followed.
Everyone was very energetic, before leaving, Zhang Long asked Xiaohu to take the lead and sang "Loyal to the Country" together, the lyrics were too short, and everyone couldn't enjoy singing, so they came again. This pose surprised the soldiers who led the way, and thought to themselves, you are here from Xianyang to have fun! There are only more than 20 of you, and there are more than 200,000 people when we set out on the expedition, if so many people sing together, obediently, can't they shake the birds in the sky?
Youzhi and Youliang also looked very fresh, and seeing everyone's respect and closeness to Fusu Gongzi, they felt more and more that this errand was good, and there was a future for the eldest son.
The chariots and horses left the camp and went all the way north, and when they were compared, it was indeed cold.
There were many military trips on the road, so in addition to potholes and hooves on the road, there was the manure of the animals. From time to time, nearby farmers carry dung bags back and forth to pick up dung.
"Fusu, are we going to cross the Great Wall?"
"Well, it shouldn't be far away."
"Can I take a look at the construction?"
"Huh?" Fusu glanced at Xiao Han amusedly, his Xiao Han always asked some questions that ordinary women don't ask.
Xiao Han shook his hand embarrassedly and said, "Forget it, everyone is in a hurry, so I won't join in the fun." ”
Fusu touched her face lovingly, what kind of excessive request is this, other women don't want to be with the eldest prince.
He said softly: "I don't know the progress of the project, let's stop by and see, and we won't delay anything." If this is already done, then we will come back from the negotiations and look at the part that is under construction. I have to fulfill your little wish. ”
"Well, okay. I haven't seen the Great Wall since I painted it, so it's a shame to say! ”
"You haven't seen it and it's painted so well, maybe you've seen it and you're going to be disappointed, maybe the real Great Wall is not as good as the painting."
"Hmm. There is always an element of imagination in artistic creation. Fusu, if you can get to that position in the future, will you continue to build the Great Wall? ”
Fusu thought for a while and said, "Xiaohan, this Great Wall still needs to be repaired. If it weren't for this Great Wall, with the Huns' catastrophic behavior, I don't know how many people would have suffered. In this negotiation, we want to drive the Huns to the north of the desert, and it is better to have the Great Wall in that place, and our people should be stationed there, so that the people south of the Great Wall can live in peace. I know that you are very worried about the consumption of people's power, and I always remember what you said, success or failure is an arithmetic problem. But this matter is a big deal, and other things can be put on hold. ”
Xiao Han nodded and sighed in his heart. This is necessary, that is necessary, and in the end, I'm afraid I have to do everything! The question is, will God give you a chance?
She thought to herself with annoyance, she was a bystander before, but now she has become an insider, God doesn't give Daqin a chance, and she doesn't even have a chance with her. She doesn't want to soar, she just wants to live well. However, no matter what the course of events, she was dead, either killed by Hu Hai as a woman who helped Su, or by the rebels as a vested interest in the old regime.
It seems that there are no other options.
Fusu looked at her frowning and was also a little annoyed. He wanted to make her happy, but she was always unhappy. Sometimes it's worrying about his future position, and sometimes it's worrying about the world.
He thought it would be nice if she could be simpler, he just wanted her to be his close lover.
"Xiao Han, there is a woman who has made great efforts in the construction of this Great Wall. You'll be as amazing as she is in the future. ”
In order to get rid of Xiaohan's troubles, Fusu had to bring up a new topic.
"Ah, will I?" Xiao Han said casually. In fact, she knew who he was talking about.
"Yes! She's good at business. But, in my opinion, she is not as good as you are in business. She was just lucky enough to find a Dan cave and keep digging and digging. ”
"Then tell me about her. I heard that her name was Qing, and she was from the place of Bashu. ”
"She, I've only seen her once. It's nothing peculiar, it's old. She donated so much money to repair the Great Wall, and her father remembered her merits and took her to the palace to recuperate. ”
"That's all?"
"Hmm. What else? Oh, I heard that she has a good character, and when her husband dies, she lives alone, and she doesn't hook up, and she is very chaste. ”
Xiao Han "sneered" in his heart, this is typical of men's logic. Forget it, if you can't tell them, just forget it.
