Chapter 58: Marriage Proposal (1)
"Okay, don't talk about it." Huangfu Jingyao spoke at the right time, Shao Zhou's face had turned the color of pig liver, and he froze there and couldn't get off the stage. Huangfu Jingyao looked down at Shao Zhou, who was restless, and asked slowly, "General Shao, do you admit that you are guilty of this battle?" ”
"The last general will not dare to deny it." Shao Zhou gritted his teeth and didn't dare to shirk his responsibilities anymore.
"However, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and General Shao is on the battlefield for the first time, and losses are inevitable. However, it is not the style of this king to have no punishment, so within this year, General Shao was also invited to practice the art of war, and as for the matter of marching and fighting, transferring troops and sending generals, there is no need for General Shao to worry about it anymore. ”
"The last will obey." Shao Zhou clenched his hands into fists and knelt on one knee. However, he held his breath in his heart, and intuitively felt that Huangfu Jingyao was too insidious, first designed to let him attack Huyan single-handedly, and then took advantage of the defeat to make a big fuss about not letting him interfere in the affairs of military power. But he didn't dare to refute, after all, he made a mistake, and the first time he led the troops was in vain, and it would be difficult to establish his prestige again.
Although the attack on Huyan failed, but the Great Zhou did not have too many casualties, coupled with the Huangfu Jingyao burned the Tata grain and grass camp, the Tata King was captured and died, the Tata for a time the six gods were ownerless, and the Xiongnu were in chaos, so this time in general, the Great Zhou still had the upper hand. Wuli's death was a good thing for Huangfu Jingyao and Helian City, and it was also the starting point for them to begin to expand their respective territories. Huangfu Jingyao can finally free up his hands and settle the affairs of the court and the central government, and Helian City, taking this opportunity, believes that with his ability, it is only a matter of time before he becomes the lord of the Xiongnu again.
"It's the third day, Alain, and it's not a good idea for you to guard your father's body without eating or drinking." Helian Cheng looked at Uloran, and it seemed that overnight, the woman had become silent. The previously innocent and lively Uroran seems to have left with her father, leaving behind only a puppet that could not cry or laugh.
"Why did my father fall into the hands of the Zhou people?" The hoarse voice is like a blunt knife that has not been sharpened for more than ten years, cutting on people's hearts will not make you die immediately, but will make people's hearts bleed because of the sparse wounds.
"At that time, I took a large army to rush to help Huyan, but I didn't expect the plan of the emperor Fu Jingyao to divert the tiger from the mountain, attacking Huyan is fake, and attacking us is real, so the main account is empty, so they have a chance to take advantage of it." Helian City's explanation seems plausible.
"It's impossible, it's impossible for my father not to think of this, and let you take everyone away." Uloran has been thinking about this for the past few days.
"Alain, it's my fault that I didn't take into account Da Zhou's tricks in time. The king is old, and the king of Huyan is his friend of life and death, and Huyan is surrounded by him in a hurry, so he will make the wrong decision. ”
"Is that really the case?"
"Why, you don't even believe me?"
"No, Helian, I'm just messed up in my head."
"Don't worry, since the king entrusted you to me on his deathbed, I will definitely take good care of you. And the enmity of your father, the enmity of my father, even if it is to gather the strength of the whole Huns, I will find the emperor to pay tribute to Yao. However, the top priority is to bury your father, let him be buried in the ground, and then reorganize the Xiongnu tribes, only the Xiongnu tribes can be condensed into a force to truly fight to the death with the Great Zhou. Helian put his hand on Uloran's shoulder, gently comforting her.
"Helian, I only have you now." Uloran took Helian Cheng's hand in her palm and held it tightly, after all, it was a teenage girl, at this time, she hoped to get some support from Helian City, the blow of her father's death, and the internal turmoil in Tata were not something that her little girl could solve. She leaned on Helian Cheng's shoulder and continued, "I have entrusted everything about Tata to you. ”
On the day of Wuli's burial, the leaders of all the tribes came, and it is difficult to say what they were rushing to.
"Princess, please mourn and be submissive. We are all very sad about the death of the king, and we are also responsible for Huyan, if there is anything needed, just say it. Hu Yanhun walked up to Uroran and comforted him politely. It could be seen that he really liked Uroran, and those eyes became obscure because of Uroran's sadness. He was very annoyed and angry, if his father hadn't sent him to the westernmost part of the West Sea to discuss an alliance, Huyan and Tata would not have been in danger at the same time. No matter who Huangfu Jingyao wants to deal with, since the various Xiongnu tribes are in the same spirit, they should take care of each other.
"Prince Huyan is serious, Zhou Jun is cunning, and the death of King Wuli is not your fault." Before Uloran could speak, Helian Cheng spoke in her place.
Hu Yanhun glanced at Helian City, didn't say anything to him, just continued to look at Wu Luolan and said: "Princess, now Tata and Xiongnu are in chaos, we are all headed by King Wuli, do you need us to stay and do something?" The implication is that someone is afraid that someone will take advantage of the opportunity to seize power.
"Thank you Prince Huyan for your kindness, I will take care of the affairs of Tata for the princess, since the king entrusted the princess to me before he died, naturally, I am responsible for the affairs of Tata."
"Prince Helian means to become the new lord of Tata?" It was King Donghu who spoke, and he also came to attend the funeral on purpose, but the condolences were fake, in fact, he wanted to come to Tata to get a piece of the pie.
"I didn't mean that, but the king of Wuli has the grace to take me in, and Princess Wuluolan has always taken good care of me, if I really want to be famous to help Tata and the Huns get back on track, I am willing to marry the princess." Helian Cheng turned in the direction of Uloran, knelt on one knee, and put his right hand into a fist on his chest, which was the etiquette of the Hun marriage proposal, and he asked aloud: "Princess, are you willing to accept my proposal?" ”
Hearing this, everyone gasped, especially Hu Yanhun, whose eyes were firmly fixed on Uroran, waiting for Uroran's answer.
"This is a good thing, the princess is about to agree, Prince Helian is the first heroic warrior of our grassland, with his leadership, revenge is just around the corner." King Kun Evil spoke out and voted in favor, he and Helian Cheng's father are brothers who grew up, after the Helian Department was destroyed, he once wanted to let Helian City go to Kunxie, but Helian City refused, because Helian City had already taken a fancy to Tata's strong strength and wanted to take it for himself.
"Princess, you have to think clearly!" Hu Yanhun persuaded on the side, he could see that Helian Cheng was not so righteous and awe-inspiring on the surface, and he didn't like Uroran much, he married her just because of Tata's power.
Wu Luolan was also stunned and couldn't come back to her senses, she didn't expect Helian City to suddenly propose to her, such a shock of joy and sorrow made her stunned at the moment, not knowing whether to agree or not.
