Chapter 134: Reunion after a Long Absence (Part II)
Fan Qiang and Shi Xiu shook their heads. Shi Xiu continued: "I waited outside for a long time before the Huns swaggered out of the palace. I immediately broke in and said to King Juxian, you are so bold, you dare to rebel against the Han Dynasty, the weapons of the Xiongnu are good, are the weapons of our country not good? King Juxian was startled and hurriedly said that he didn't dare. He said, "The Huns know that you are coming, and they want me to kill you, but I refuse." The Huns got angry and threatened me with a knife. I said, there is a messenger named Shi Xiu, he has followed Geng Gong to guard Shule, you are very fond of it, what a pity to kill, why don't you surrender him, if Shi Xiu does not surrender, it is not too late to kill him. The Huns listened and deliberated for a long time before agreeing. Messenger, go tonight, or it will be too late! ”
Fan Qiang nodded and said: "Although this King Juxian is pustuple, he still has a conscience, and he uses a delaying tactic to drag the Huns and let you escape." ”
"Hehe, who is my Shi Xiu, how could he escape? I asked King Juxian, do you really want to surrender to the Xiongnu? King Juxian thought for a long time, and said, this king also wants to belong to the Han Dynasty forever, but Luoyang is far away, the whip is out of reach, the Xiongnu are strong, and they are close at hand, so they are really helpless. I was very angry and scolded him sharply, how brave and wise your father King Guangde was, he has surrendered to our country, how can you Juxian King He De dare to rebel against the Han? Are you afraid that the Huns will attack you, aren't you afraid that our country will crusade against you? Geng Gong and Ban Chao's bravery, don't you know? When King Juxian heard this, he was very frightened, and said that the Xiongnu had led 2,000 soldiers and were stationed by the moat on the west side of the palace, and if I could drive the Xiongnu away, he would definitely surrender to Han. I immediately agreed, thought about it for a while, asked the king of Juxian for a thousand guards, ambushed on the west side of the palace, as long as I saw the fire in the Xiongnu camp, five hundred guards roared gold, and the other five hundred guards drove the Huns from behind. ”
Geng Gong was shocked: "Brother Xiu, do you want to learn from the younger brother and break into the Hun camp alone?" ”
Shi Xiu nodded, and looked at Princess Yurong intentionally or unintentionally, seeing that she listened to it with relish, and her eyes were full of brilliance and even more charming. Shi Xiu continued: "Brother, the next night, sure enough, four Huns came, and they came to persuade me together, saying, the thirteen warriors of the Han Dynasty are famous all over the world, and Pu Nu Shan Yu cherishes it very much, if you surrender to the Huns, Pu Nu Shan Yu will definitely crown you as king." I immediately refused, and the Huns pulled out their knives and put them on my neck, coercing and tempting me in every way, and I said that it was okay to surrender, and I must be allowed to see the captain. The Xiongnu said, you repair a letter of surrender, and the commander will see you, and he will see you. I agreed, and the Huns rejoiced. That night, I wrote the book of descent, and put an incomparably short knife in the book of descent, rolled it into a bunch, and carried it in my arms. One day later, I went to the Hun camp, and saw that the Huns were in ruins, either sitting on the ground and chatting in twos and threes, or wrestling in circles, and discarding weapons on the ground at will, I secretly rejoiced. The Hun Lieutenant was short, but very strong, his arms were as thick as his thighs, and his palms were covered with a thick layer of cocoons, and he was very happy to see me surrender, and he sat me down, and gave me food and drink, and we drank heartily, which was very speculative. When I was half drunk, I took out the book and walked slowly to the Hun commander. ”
"You, you, you are so brave, didn't you get caught by the Huns?" At some point, Yurong sat up, her eyes full of fear and worry. She has always been timid, and when she heard this, her heart was pounding, knowing that Shi Xiu was sitting on the opposite side, she still wanted to ask if there was anything wrong.
Shi Xiu's heart was hot, and he thought, "She, she still cares about me...... It's worth it for me, me, and me to die. He couldn't speak for a while, Geng Gong and Fan Qiang thought that he was shocked, and they didn't suspect it. Shi Xiu shook his head and stabilized his mind: "I put the surrender book in front of the case of the Hun Commander, he was very happy, his face was proud, and he had no doubts. I slowly opened the book, slowly opened, and at the end, a short knife was revealed! The Hun Lieutenant was startled, I picked up the short knife, a knife into his chest, blood like a pour, he screamed, struggled to escape, a trick, how can I let go, hold him down, raise the short knife, knife after knife, knife after knife, just care about stabbing him. Suddenly, the other Huns in the camp were frightened, stunned in place, and when they reacted, I had killed the Hun Commander, shook his head, stood on the desk, raised the head, and said angrily, if you are not satisfied, come and fight to the death with Lao Tzu. Hehe, don't hide it from my brothers, I was already put to death at that time, such a roar, majestic, no one from the Huns dared to come up, they hesitated, turned around and fled out of the camp! ”
Geng Gong sighed: "Brother Xiu's courage can be compared to Brother Ban Chao!" Yurong's eyes were also full of admiration, Fan Qiang's blood was boiling, his fists were clenched, and he said hatefully: "Brother Shi Xiu, kill well!" Well done! ”
Shi Xiu said: "People, if you don't force yourself, you don't know how much power you have!" When I saw that there was no one in the camp, I took my torches and lit fires everywhere, and in a short time the flames rose to the sky. The Huns came from all directions, and the Yu Ning guards who were ambushed on one side roared with gold, magnificent, and some warriors, holding torches, rode horses and galloped, while shouting that the Han general Geng Gong was here, and the Huns did not surrender! When the Xiongnu heard his brother's name, his soul was scattered, where did he dare to resist, and fled desperately. I rushed out of the camp, led the warriors of Yu Ning, and drove them from behind. The Huns ran to the moat, and they didn't argue in the dark, and you pushed me, and I fell into the river and drowned. We fought until midnight, and there was not a single Hun in the camp. ”
Geng Gong said sadly: "Once the success is ten thousand bones, why are the Huns warlike?" ”
"Yes, brother, the moat was full of corpses, and the river was blocked, so that the water could not flow, and it took several days for Yu Ningguo to move the corpses. When the king of Juxian saw that I had killed the Huns overnight, he was very surprised, and he was even more afraid of the power of my country, and he was convinced, how dare he have any different intentions? I went to look for Li Yi, but there was no trace, after asking, I learned that Li Yi saw the west side of the palace in flames, shouting and killing, very afraid, even ran away overnight, but I don't know where he ran, now it seems that he must have disobeyed the holy decree, did not go to the Western Regions at all, but went directly to Luoyang. ”
Fan Qiang hated and said: "Exactly! When Li Yi returned to the capital, he said that you had surrendered to the Xiongnu. I don't know what's going on, but the book you wrote actually reached his hands! The emperor was furious and imprisoned his brother. The horse defense, but he didn't let go, and got a letter from somewhere, saying that it was a correspondence between the Huns and his brother. ”
