Chapter 14 The Burning of Donglin

After entering the city, Chu Jinmo immediately went to see the Empress Dowager Yaotian. At this time, the severed hand of the Empress Dowager Yaotian had already been bandaged, and when she saw Chu Jinmo coming back, she showed an excited look on her face, and said, "I just know that you won't die!" ”

"Mother, the rebels of Donglin have surrounded Baishui City, and I will send someone to escort you out of the city!"

Empress Dowager Yaotian's eyes shot deep emotion, and said: "Child, the city is here, and I will never surrender to the rebels!" Your younger brother Anguo is young, if you want to send him away, send him away! ”

Chu Anguo, who was standing on the side, heard this, his whole body shook violently, and said, "Mother, I ...... it."

Empress Dowager Yaotian pulled Chu Anguo and said, "I know that the fault of Lu Dao is not you, but Donglin's ambition, he has long wanted to seize power." Just use you to drive a wedge between your brothers, you must believe in your brother! ”

Chu Anguo looked at Chu Jinmo, lowered his head and muttered, "Brother Wang, I'm sorry!" ”

Chu Jinmo shook his head and said, "Brother, you were deceived by traitors when you were young, how could I blame you." Later, I will send my cronies to protect you and send you out of the city, and you must keep the last bit of our blood in the west! ”

Chu Anguo burst into tears and said, "I'm not leaving!" ”

I saw Chu Anguo pulling and pestering, and I couldn't help but be angry, when is it, and I still have the heart to cry and cry, why don't I have any manly spirit at all!

Huo Qubing is not much different in age from Chu Anguo, but he is already an undefeated god of war who is terrifying in the desert and terrifies the Huns. This Chu Anguo is good, he was first confused by Prince Donglin's rhetoric, and now when the soldiers are in the city, they know that they are crying!

"Don't cry!" I let out a roar.

Chu Anguo's face was still full of tears, and he was shocked by my roar, and he couldn't even sobb for a while, and the mother and son all turned their heads to look at me.

I stepped forward and saluted the Empress Dowager Yaotian, turned to Chu Anguo and said loudly: "What are you crying about!" A good man should be shrouded in horse leather and die on the battlefield! Now that your mother and brother Wang plan to burn the jade and stone and defend Baishui City, if you don't help, forget it, still cry here, and disturb the morale of the army again, don't blame me for being unkind! ”

Chu Anguo looked at me blankly, shocked by my impassioned words.

Chu Jinmo's eyes showed a complicated expression, and for the first time, I saw a little ripple in these ancient well-like eyes.

After I finished speaking, I didn't look at Chu Anguo again, and said to the Empress Dowager Yaotian: "Is the Xiongnu envoy still in the city?" ”

Empress Dowager Yaotian nodded and said, "As soon as the rebellion started last night, I ordered someone to put the Xiongnu envoy under house arrest, and now I have ordered someone to strictly guard it." ”

I was secretly relieved that we still had a trump card in our hands.

I said: "The Donglin rebellion is because he wants to take refuge in the Xiongnu, and now the Xiongnu envoy is in our hands, and he is a rat taboo." We took the Xiongnu envoy to the gate of the city to sneak around, and promised that Donglin would not dare to act rashly! ”

Empress Dowager Yaotian frowned and looked at Chu Jinmo, who must have given her an affirmative look. Empress Dowager Yaotian instructed her subordinates: "Bring the Hun envoy!" ”

After a while, the Xiongnu envoy was brought up, and he didn't know what happened to Lu Dao, but he saw that everyone in the palace had a solemn face.

I stepped forward and said to the Xiongnu envoy: "Messenger, Prince Donglin has taken refuge in Huo Quai, and now he is leading the army to besiege Baishui City, trying to sacrifice your head to Huo Quai!" ”

The Xiongnu envoy was taken aback and said violently: "What?!" ”

When the Empress Dowager Yaotian saw me talking nonsense, she didn't demolish me and didn't say a word.

I continued: "Messenger, please come with me! ”

The Hun envoy followed me out, Chu Jinmo made a look, and a few people quickly came up left and right to follow the Hun envoy, seemingly protecting, but in fact escorted him to the city tower.

When approaching the city tower, there was a burst of earth-shattering shouts outside the city, and the Xiongnu envoy, who was originally very arrogant, suddenly weakened his legs and wanted to retreat, he said: "Wait, I seem to have forgotten something!" ”

The people around him didn't know whether to stop him or let him go back at this time, and they swayed from side to side.

Seeing this, I immediately drew a horsewhip hanging from the waist of one of my attendants, whipped it at the attendants who were escorting me, and exclaimed, "Something that has no eyesight! The messenger is in a hurry to go up to the city tower to inspect, and you are so slow that you don't hurry up to escort you up! ”

The retinue immediately understood when he ate my whip, and immediately approached the Hun envoy, preventing him from turning back, and almost put him on the tower.

After going up to the tower, I pushed the Hun envoy to the edge of the city, and he stumbled and almost fell. Qin Nan's eyes were quick and grabbed him.

I said coldly, "Messenger, please look down!" ”

The Xiongnu envoy raised his eyes and saw that the black pressure on a group of troops surrounded Baishui City, and his face was bloodless with fright, and said, "How is this good?" ”

The soldiers besieging the city downstairs shouted: "It's the Hun envoy, it's the Xiongnu envoy!" ”

I saw that the plan had been accomplished, and if the show continued, I would go through the gangs, and immediately pulled the Hun envoy downstairs.

Back in the main hall, I said to the Hun envoy who was already frightened: "Don't panic, envoy, we will definitely not let the Donglin rebels hurt you." You are in danger right now, and everything is up to me. ”

The Hun envoy stammered: "Everything is at your command!" ”

I glanced at the entourage next to me and said, "Take the messenger down to rest!" ”

The Hun envoy staggered back, but he didn't forget to salute me.

Seeing my move, Chu Jinmo asked puzzledly, "What do you have in mind?" ”

I winked at him and said, "Please send someone to tell Donglin that we are willing to exchange the Xiongnu envoy for him to stop the siege." ”

Chu Jinmo frowned and said, "Who are you?" ”

Chu Anguo on the side immediately shouted: "The Xiongnu envoy is our hostage, let him go, will Donglin let us go?" ”

I sneered and said, "Who said that I was going to give Donglin a real Hun envoy?" ”

Chu Anguo looked confused and said, "Didn't you say that you would exchange the Hun envoy?" ”

I shook my head, what a straw bag! I didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said to Chu Jinmo: "Is there a map?" ”

Chu Jinmo nodded and said to his entourage, "Go get the map immediately!" ”

The retinue took the order, and a moment later brought a sheepskin map.

I picked up the map and spread it out on the ground and asked, "Is there a place around here where the road is long and narrow, surrounded by trees?" ”

Chu Jinmo thought for a while, pointed to a place on the map and said, "There is such a place, and the eagle's intestine is ten miles south of the city. ”

I breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "There are thousands of troops besieging Donglin City, this small Baishui City will be breached in a few days, it is impossible to break through from the front, the only way is to surrender!" ”

Chu Jinmo's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he said, "What are you going to do?" ”

I laughed and said, "Burn the eagle's intestines, so that he Donglin has no return!" ”

Chu Jinmo's body shook violently, and he looked at me with an incredible look, as if he was looking at a monster.

Chu Anguo clapped his hands and praised: "This idea is simply too good! How did you come up with it? ”

Of course, I can't tell him that he learned from Zhuge Liang in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms on TV, but that happened in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and only I, a person from the future, know the Tao.

I blinked my eyes and said, "Prince An, do you want to be a good man like your brother?" ”

Chu Anguo probably hadn't said anything to him like this in his life, he was stunned for a moment when he heard it, then puffed up his chest and said loudly: "That's!" ”

I said unhurriedly: "I have an errand here, but I don't know if you dare to do it, if you are timid, forget it." After speaking, he deliberately squinted at him with his eyes.

Chu Anguo said unconvinced: "I will do whatever you tell me to do!" ”

"Good! Go and pluck the clothes of the Hun envoy for me! ”

"What!" Chu Jinmo and Chu Anguo blurted out almost at the same time.

Empress Dowager Yaotian didn't speak, just looked at the two brothers with a smile on her face, perhaps in her heart, she was very much looking forward to Chu Anguo being able to have the same success as Chu Jinmo.

Chu Anguo took my order to go down, and I had already bathed and changed into women's clothes under Chu Jinmo's arrangement. Empress Dowager Yaotian looked at me with a puzzled look and looked at Chu Jinmo, but Chu Jinmo's dark eyes were staring at me.

I saluted the Empress Dowager Yaotian and said, "Empress Dowager Yaotian was so offended just now, but the situation is compelling, I hope you don't mind." ”

Empress Dowager Yaotian helped me up with one hand and said, "I've offended a lot before, don't you mind." By the way, what's your name? ”

"Mulan"

"Mulan, how did you retreat?"

I said: "Please rest assured that the Empress Dowager Yaotian has my own strategy for retreating." ”

After speaking, he looked at Chu Jinmo and said, "Prince Jinmo, let's go!" ”

Chu Jinmo and I set off together, and the person who sent Lu to deliver the letter before had already negotiated with Prince Donglin. Donglin was afraid of hurting the Xiongnu envoy, and when the Huns poured their anger on his head and sent troops to destroy him, he immediately agreed to exchange.

This old fox must not be so kind, and when he welcomes back the Hun envoys, he will continue to attack the city, but I will not give him this chance again.

At this time, one of Chu Jinmo's entourage had already put on the clothes that had been plucked from the Hun envoy and dressed up as if he had been held hostage by us.

All the trees around the eagle's intestine have been doused with fire oil, and dozens of people are lying in ambush in the woods with flints, just waiting for an order.

It didn't take long for me to see Donglin bring someone here, and I sneered, and sure enough, as I expected, he must have come to greet the Xiongnu envoy in person.

Donglin had more than a hundred and ten people, and he walked in the front with one head and one horse, not expecting that this would be a road of no return.

Chu Jinmo stood at the end of the eagle's intestine, and Donglin stopped when he walked to a distance of twenty or thirty meters.

Chu Jinmo took a step forward and said: "Prince Donglin, you have to talk and count, we will hand over the Xiongnu envoy to you, you will not be able to attack the city again, Yuexi is still ruled by the Empress Dowager Yaotian!" ”

Donglin shook his face and said, "That's nature!" What about the Hun envoys? ”

Chu Jinmo pushed the fake Hun envoy forward and said, "Here!" ”

When Donglin saw the Xiongnu envoy, he did not doubt him, and took a step forward excitedly, saying, "Is the envoy okay?" ”

I looked at the man who was lying in ambush above, and saw that the man gave me a gesture that all the people of the Eastern Forest had entered the eagle's intestines. I shouted, "Action!" ”

Suddenly, there were flames in all directions, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and the branches of the trees drenched with fire oil spread rapidly in this dry weather, and in an instant the eagle's intestines became a purgatory of fire.

Chu Jinmo took my hand and quickly retreated, and the soldiers who had been in ambush before quickly stepped forward to break off, and countless lit hayballs rolled down the long slope.

Donglin was not spared, and I saw him hit by a ball of fire, which ignited instantly.

The rebels trapped in the fire let out a scream, but none of them could escape this hell, and they were all engulfed in flames.

I stood on the slope in the distance and watched the shocking sight of how my little ploy had killed so many people. The heart-rending wail reached my ears in the flames, and I slowly closed my eyes.

Chu Jinmo said lightly: "It's done, go back!" ”

A total of 120 Donglin and his cronies were killed in this battle, and the remaining rebels surrendered one after another when they saw that the general trend had gone.

The Xiongnu envoy was very grateful to the Empress Dowager Yaotian, and scolded Donglin for being despicable and shameless, and even joined forces with Huo Qubing to fight against the Xiongnu. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager Yaotian saw the opportunity and subdued the Donglin rebels in one fell swoop. He also promised that after going back, he would make great progress with the Xiongnu and protect the west.

Empress Dowager Yaotian expressed her willingness to coexist peacefully with the Xiongnu, and gave the Xiongnu envoy a generous gift, sending someone to return him to the Xiongnu.

The soldiers of Yuexi knew that the crisis of the road had been eliminated, and everyone cheered for the power of the Empress Dowager Yaotian, and the royal power was more stable in the hands of the Empress Dowager Yaotian.

In order to celebrate the victory, the Empress Dowager Yaotian ordered Baishui City to celebrate for three days, and everyone was rewarded.

I asked the Empress Dowager Yao Tian to resign several times, but she refused to let me leave on the grounds of celebration and warmly invited me to join them in their celebrations.

I sat in the middle of the room with a sad face, staring at the bronze mirror on the table in a daze. The three-day celebration has long passed, but the Empress Dowager Yaotian still doesn't let me go, and Chu Jinmo disappears as if the world has evaporated.

I'm secretly anxious in my heart, I don't know where Lu Daohuo's illness is now, how can I get out of here?

I was in distress when someone suddenly blindfolded me from behind, and I reacted very quickly, immediately grabbing the hairpin in front of the bronze mirror and stabbing it behind me.

"Ouch!" Chu Anguo let out a strange scream, and my sharp hairpin was already against his throat.

Chu Anguo didn't dare to move, and said fearfully: "You are really fierce!" ”

I let go of the hairpin against his throat and said lightly, "What are you doing here?" ”

Chu Anguo breathed a sigh of relief, winked at me, and said, "There will be a great event in the city in ten days. ”

"What's the happy event?"

"Hehe, you'll know the truth then."

I turned my head away from him and said, "Hmph, it's a mystery!" ”

Chu Anguo stuffed something into my hand, turned around and ran.

I stretched out my hand and saw that it was a warm jade ring, engraved with the ornament of a phoenix, and I felt vaguely uneasy in my heart, and threw the jade ring on the table with a snap.

At night, I was lying in bed tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep, when suddenly I heard a slight noise from the window, and someone was pulling the window outside.

I quietly got out of bed, walked to the window, and said, "What people! ”

"It's me"

I opened the window and saw Chu Jinmo standing outside the window, he threw a burden in his hand to me, and said, "Change it and follow me immediately." ”

"What's going on?"

After a period of silence, Chu Jinmo said slowly: "Mother has promised you to An Guo, and you will get married in ten days." ”

"What!" My whole body shook violently, this Empress Dowager Yaotian actually crossed the river and demolished the bridge, making her own opinion?

"Change your clothes and I'll send you away."

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ Hussar General laughed and passed on the seventeenth chapter, saying that Chu Jinmo and I stood on the slope of a small hill and watched the burning of the Donglin rebels.

I took a goose feather fan and fanned it, "This time the fire burns Donglin, what does the prince think of my plan?" ”

Chu Jinmo said: "You came from time travel, what kind of Zhuge Liang do you use a goose feather fan!" ”

I said angrily: "Is it okay for Lao Tzu to pretend to be noble and cold? You dare to talk to me for the first time in "The Legend of the Hussar General's Laughter"? If you don't look handsome, be careful that Lao Tzu will write you to death in the next chapter! ”
