——————————————————————————————————————————

Duan Chong's first night in the Xiongnu King's tent was much better than the treatment of the previous days. {Flash Dance} at least has a big mouthful of meat to eat and wine to drink, which is enough to make Duan Chong overjoyed. Although Duan Zhong had already made up his mind to try his courage when he was arrested, it seems that the current situation is not as bad as he imagined, and it is even much better. At least now the treatment of this slave is very different from the treatment of ordinary slaves, there is a separate tent to live in, and there is a soft bed to sleep in. It's a wonderful thing. Since Duan Zhong arrived on the grassland, he has been a bed and a quilt every day, and he has never tried such a hard day before. Imagine that when you were in Nanliang, didn't you always let Su'er warm the bed first...... Thinking of this, Duan Zhong couldn't help but feel bitter in his nose. But after more than a month, I finally survived.

pinched his fingers and calculated the time, from leaving Shuofang County to today, it took a total of ten days in a month, and in two or three days, it was almost time to reach the border with more than 100,000 troops from Yanjing in Northern Liang. It is about the case that if Beiliang adheres to the idea of the speed of soldiers, he can go deep into the grassland within ten days. However, when he would be able to attack the king's tent of the Huns, Duan Zhong actually didn't have much hope. Because this Xiongnu king's tent is where the Huns' beliefs and totems are located, it is absolutely impossible to be exposed to the enemy's swords and guns, even if Uwei Shan personally fights, he will not bring the entire king's tent over. Even if the Huns suffered defeat, this royal tent was just a continuous relocation to the depths of the steppe. If the Northern Liang people wanted to break through the royal tent of the Huns, at least before the entire steppe was leveled, it was impossible to achieve.

Moreover, the news that Beiliang was preparing to send troops to attack the Xiongnu had naturally been transmitted back to the grassland as soon as possible through the Xiongnu spies, and it was impossible for the strong enemy to take advantage of the unpreparedness of the enemy. Therefore, the Northern Liang people want to fight with the Huns who are good at riding and shooting, they can only advance slowly step by step, if they fight well and advance all the way, they may only need half a year to attack the position of the king tent where the road section is reappearing, but if they do not fight well, they are stuck in the quagmire of war, once they enter the stalemate, the Northern Liang people can not afford to consume supplies, and the only solution is to withdraw from this steppe and return the occupied land to the Huns. Therefore, for the people of Beiliang, if there is no victory in this battle, it is a direct defeat, and there is no room for return. For the Huns, they are not in a hurry, because this grassland is not suitable for establishing a city-state at all, that is to say, even if the Northern Liang people occupy the land, there is no land to defend, as long as the Huns ride on horseback and harass from time to time, it is a matter of time before the Northern Liang people withdraw from the grassland. So in this battle, Beiliang used so many troops and put on such a big posture, but it was not terrible for the Huns, and of course they could not be blindly optimistic.

And the Northern Liang never had the idea of occupying the grassland, but just wanted to suppress the arrogant momentum of the Huns, and deplete the strength of the Huns as much as possible, so that they could not pose a threat to the Northern Liang in a short period of time. The most important thing is to buy time for the Northern Liang army to move south. There will definitely be no shortage of smart people among the Huns, so this is also guessed. And this war is undoubtedly a war of wits and courage and mutual attrition. Now the scales are in a very delicate state, and it will be up to which side can break the deadlock first and gain an overwhelming advantage.

However, these are just floating clouds for Duan Chong. After all, Duan Zhong is a Dali person, and in a sense, he is an outsider. It's a pity that it's hard to protect the itself now, and there is a feeling of irony about the current situation. And his current identity is...... Slave. And when he will be able to get rid of this identity, Duan Zhong really doesn't know. After all, Duan Chong couldn't expect the Northern Liang army or Xiao Zhengrong to lead tens of thousands of troops to break through the royal tent of the Huns and rescue himself from here. And even if Zongzi and Jiang Mingchen can find here, they may not be able to rescue themselves from the tent of the master Hun King. The reason why Duan Zhong asked Jiang Mingchen to go back to find zongzi before was just to save his life. Zongzi entered the grassland, and it is estimated that they can't even distinguish between the southeast and northwest, so how can they find the king tent of the Huns? Unless the sun comes out of the west, ....... the sun will never come out.

Duan Zhong sighed, touched his nose again, and found that he had eaten too much barbecue in the past month or so, not only was he angry, but he also had more boogers, which was really helpless. Now that you sleep in a soft bed, don't think about it, who knows what tomorrow will bring? Maybe someone will come in and put away the bed in the middle of the night, and throw themselves into the sheepfold, so cherish every minute and second in bed. He pulled the quilt and was about to close his eyes to sleep, but he heard soft footsteps outside the tent.

Duan Zhong listened for a moment and confirmed that the footsteps were indeed coming in the direction of his tent. In the middle of the night, who will come to visit him? Could it be that Princess Soyali already has a deep love for herself, so she can't bear to be lonely at night and runs to relieve her worries? However, things will never go as Duan Zhong envisioned, because it was a man who opened the curtain and walked in. And this man Duan Zhong didn't know or seen it, and most importantly, although this man was dressed as a Huns, he had a ...... The face of the Central Plains. Who's this? Why do you come to yourself? Duan Zhong suddenly remembered that Princess Suo Yali had mentioned that there were people from the Central Plains who gave advice to Uwei Shan Yu in the king's tent.

Duan Zhong looked at the uninvited guest and didn't speak, but this "Central Plains person" took the lead in opening his mouth: "Are you from Southern Liang or Northern Liang?" ”

Duan Zhong touched his nose and thought for a moment before saying, "You say that I am the North Liang and the South Liang, but I prefer to say that I am from Dali." Unfortunately, no one believes this. ”

This "Central Plains man" was stunned when he heard this, and stared at Duan Zhong for a long time: "Since you said that you are from Dali, why did you participate in the affairs of the army of the Northern Liang people?" And the things you stirred up this month are really not small, even the king was shocked. You have to give a reason to believe you. ”

Duan Chong touched his nose and looked at the "Central Plains man" in front of him, he didn't know the origin of this person at present, whether he wanted to chat with himself or to get some information this time, of course, Duan Chong preferred to believe the latter. So he smiled and said, "Then are you from the Liang State or the Huns?" ”

This "Central Plains man" was stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly and did not speak. Duan Zhong continued to speak: "I think a person who was originally from the Liang State had to help the Huns deal with his compatriots in the end, and I am a Dali person, so what's wrong with helping Northern Liang deal with the Huns?" The Huns plundered and slaughtered the Northern Liang after the beginning of spring every year, hurting the heavens and reason, and Lie happened to be a perfectionist, who couldn't stand this kind of bad behavior and voluntarily threw himself into this war. Do you believe or don't you believe what I'm saying? ”

The man in the Central Plains was silent for a long time when he heard this, Duan Chong's words did touch his sore spot, and he let out a long sigh: "How do you know that I am doing things for the Huns?" ”

Duan Zhong stretched out his hand and showed the chain tied in his hand to the "Central Plains man" in front of him: "Except for those who do things for the Huns." I can't think of any other Central Plains person who could come and go freely in the royal tent of the Huns without carrying this thing. So that's an obvious question. ”

The "Central Plains" nodded, but suddenly smiled, and actually began to introduce himself: "My name is Han Ke, and I have been in this Hun king's tent for nearly twenty years!" "Twenty years is a terrible number. Twenty years ago, the Great Liang was in a situation of falling apart, and now the two emperors of the North and South Liang supported their own troops for the throne and the country, and the Central Plains was full of wars, and the people were struggling to make a living. "I was originally a general and military advisor in the northwest camp of the Liang State, at that time, it coincided with the civil strife in the Liang State, the two princes competed for the throne and the chassis, and the Huns took the opportunity to lead the troops to attack. The northwest camp was drained of strength by the two princes at that time, and where did they have the strength to deal with the Huns, they were beaten to the ground in a short time, and it was at that time that I was captured and brought to this king's tent. The Hun Uwei simply saw that I was literate and knew military books, so he kept me, and he has always been good to me, except that he did not leave the king's tent, there was no other restriction. So I've gotten used to life here, and I've been there for twenty years. And in the past 20 years, many things have happened in the Central Plains, and the grassland is still the grassland! ”

Duan Zhong sighed: "You said so much, I can't help but tell you your intention to come." I'm a cheerful person and don't like my mother-in-law's. ”

Han Ke nodded and said: "In the past two days, Shan Yu is not in the king's tent, so I came this time just because I heard that a new general from Northern Liang came, and I am curious to come and take a look, by the way, I would like to remind you with my experience, if Uwei Shan Yu values you, you might as well leave love, it is better than being a slave." ”

Duan Zhong touched his nose: "So you say that you are out of concern for your compatriots?" ”

Han Ke nodded: "If you have to say that, I don't object to it." I'm just here to see today, believe it or not. And when the king comes back, he will definitely meet you, you may have had a good life in the past two days, but it is lively Uwei Shan Yu, and it may be light to lose your head. So when facing Shan Yu, weigh yourself more, don't say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing! ”

Duan Zhong arched his hand and said, "Thank you for reminding me!" ”
