Xiongnu Shan Yu Yi didn't think that he would die, at least he didn't expect to die here.

Since he was not killed on the battlefield and became a prisoner, then he did not think that the generals of the Han army dared to make their own decisions about what to do to him. He is not an ordinary general, nor an ordinary tribal king, but a dignified grassland overlord, a person chosen by Immortal Heaven to lead the people of the grassland.

The generals of the Han army will definitely treat them as strange goods and send them to Chang'an under the protection of heavy troops. If he arrives in Chang'an, he will have a good talk with the emperor of the Han Dynasty, although he was defeated and captured, he still has a lot of chips in his hands, even if he has no chance to return to the grassland from now on, but his life should be fine.

During this time, he had already thought about many possibilities, but he just didn't expect that after this young Han man named Yuan Zhao came in, he said straight to the point that he was coming to take his life!

Shan Yu Yizhi bared his teeth, he thought that this was a kind of intimidation, and the other party must have wanted to put forward some conditions, so he made a fool of himself. He let out a chilling laugh, then raised his eyes and carefully examined the three people in front of him.

The man standing at the back had a fierce temperament, holding a short knife, looking very arrogant. And the person standing next to Yuan Zhao, although young, looks handsome and luxurious, and at first glance he is from an extraordinary background. Compared to them, Yuan Zhao, who was only wearing green clothes after removing his armor, looked a little ordinary.

"Say, what do you want? Gold and silver treasures, slave population, those things ....... ”

Before he finished his words, he saw a sarcastic smile on the other party's face. Then I saw Yuan Zhao knock on his head with the horsewhip he was carrying casually in his hand, and said to the people around him.

"See? These Huns have been struggling for a lifetime, and I'm afraid that's all they can do! I want them to understand the principles of being a human being, oh...... That's basically the same as playing the piano to a cow! So let's use the simplest way. ”

The person who was treated like this by him was simply furious, and tried hard to break free and stand up, but it was only in vain, the ropes on his body were very tightly bound, and there was no way to do it.

"Yuan Zhao! It's not heroes who humiliate people, you have the ability to let me go and fight hard! ”

Shan Yu Yi Zhiye roared in a low voice, but the other party's expression was indifferent, he pursed his lips disdainfully, and seemed to be a little impatient to say the last word.

"Heroes or something...... These things are useless. Moreover, there is no use in keeping you, in order to avoid trouble, so next year today, it will be your sacrifice day! ”

The last few words were very murderous, Shan Yu Yi was shocked, and when he saw the sharp glint in the other party's eyes flashing in the firelight, he finally understood that the other party was not joking!

Shan Yu wanted to say something more, Yuan Zhao pulled the prince to take a step back, and the white-clothed Goryeo boy had already stepped forward, and the Xuandao was unsheathed, like a pool of ice water across the throat of the king of the grassland, silently, and the soul died!

The huge body fell to the ground, and after a few convulsions, it stopped moving, and a bend of blood moistened the green grass of the earth under his feet. There is no difference between the blood of a king and the blood of an ordinary warrior.

The crown prince Liu Ju, who didn't say a word from beginning to end, turned a little pale. Several times he went out with the army, he didn't see blood and casualties, but the person who died in front of him was the Hun Da Danyu after all, so he killed it so easily? It seems easier than killing a dog or a pig!

"Brother Yuan...... Do you really have to kill him? Wouldn't it be better to escort him to Chang'an and hand it over to his father to deal with it personally? ”

Yuan Zhao instructed Park Yonglie to cut off the head of Shan Yuyi's childish evil, dispose of it and keep it well, although the person is dead, the head can be sent to Chang'an, which is called "Thousands of Miles of Legends". He patted the prince on the shoulder and pulled him out.

"Although the defeat of the Huns has been decided, and the army going south is almost completely killed and wounded, there are still a few forces in the old nest of Mobei...... The Xiongnu Shan Yu fell into the hands of the Han army, and they will definitely unite all their forces with the slogan of rescuing Da Shan Yu. The so-called trapped beast is still fighting, and it cannot be ignored. If that happens, it will inevitably cause too many casualties to the Han army. So in order to avoid this from happening, Shan Yu Yi Zhixiao must die! ”

The prince's footsteps were a little sluggish, and he still didn't understand the inevitable relationship between the two.

"Then killing him and killing their king so hastily, wouldn't it deepen the hatred of those Huns against the Han army even more?"

"Huh! Prince, the Huns are not from the Central Plains, the reason why they are called barbarians is because they have never received the influence of the broad Chinese civilization, they don't know what loyalty, filial piety and benevolence are, and they don't know what the righteousness of the family and country is! The only thing they believe in is the law of wolves on the grassland, that is, the survival of the fittest! ”

Yuan Zhao, who walked outside the big tent, looked at the endless grassland night, with few stars in the sky and a bright moon. He felt that it was necessary to take this opportunity to let the prince have a good understanding of the complexities of ethnic groups and human nature.

"As long as Yu Yi is alive, then he is a banner, and those forces with similar strength on the grassland will use this banner as a call to organize against the Han army, such a situation is not what we want. On the contrary, as long as the news of Shan Yu's death spreads, those forces belonging to different forces will fight separately to protect their own interests, and even fight against each other in order to grab the title of Shan Yu! In this way, the entire grassland has become a plate of scattered sand, and the hooves of the Han army are everywhere, destroying the withered and decaying and stepping on the north of the desert, which is as easy as a snap! ”

Yuan Zhao said very calmly, such a small measure is not worth mentioning. It's like just killing the King of the Prairie, but it's just executing a captive who must die. As long as it is for the sake of the righteousness of his family and country and the heroic Han soldiers, he sheds less blood and does these things, and there is no ripple in his heart.

The crown prince Liu Ju listened to his words carefully, and his eyes sparkled in the night. The person in front of him taught him many truths, which were impossible to learn by going through all the books in Bowangyuan.

"Brother Yuan, do you know? You've been my idol ever since you saved my life when you were six years old...... Until now you have become my brother-in-law. Hehe! Everything you do, I have to think about it several times before I can find the wonder! ”

"Oh, I'm not that great...... Hehe! In fact, to kill him, in addition to such a great use, there are also some other selfish motives. I promised someone to help him achieve this goal, and now I have got what I wanted. ”

The crown prince Liu Ju nodded, of course he knew who Yuan Zhao was talking about. After a moment of silence, the two of them turned around together and came to the campfire more than a dozen feet away. There was a man who had been sitting here for a long time, and had drunk a jar of wine with little left.

More than ten years ago, it was also such a night. Under the starry sky of Changle Plateau in the west of Chang'an City, Yuan Zhao, who was still an ordinary teenager, met two friends. Liu Ju, the little prince who came out of the palace in casual clothes, and Yu Dan, the prince of the Huns, who followed the Xiongnu delegation to Chang'an.

Yu Dan gave Yuan Zhao a golden knife to thank him for the fine salt he had gifted. That small bag of fine salt later returned to the grassland with him thousands of miles, just so that his Eminem could eat the Central Plains style meal. Yu Dan didn't remember whether Eminem, who used to be a big man and a princess, ate more for this, the only thing he remembered was the appearance of the soft woman holding him in her arms and looking south. The long sky flew over the lonely goose, the cry was desolate, and the tears fell on his forehead, but they were as hot as burning!

Ten years later, the three people sitting together again are no longer what they used to be. Yuan Zhao didn't say anything to the tearful Xiongnu exiled prince, but just casually carried the wine jar and began to drink. The meaning of a friend, in some cases, does not require a thousand words of persuasion, but only companionship.

The crown prince Liu Ju also sat on the ground, his alcohol consumption was not good, so naturally he couldn't talk about it with a wine altar like those two people. I found a cup, took a sip gently, looked at the starlight night between heaven and earth, and silently thought about something.

"Brother Yuan, thank you!"

After a long time, Yu Dan, who drank the wine in the jar, wiped away his tears and let out a long breath of dullness in his chest. Yuan Zhao put down the wine jar and smiled faintly.

"Your heart is still too soft! Originally, killing the enemy himself was the happiest thing in the world. ”

"I know. A few years ago, he shot my father, and later forced my Eminem to death, including sending people to hunt me down without stopping...... These hatreds, even if they cut a hundred and ten knives on him, it is difficult to solve the resentment in his heart. It's just that along the way, I saw with my own eyes that thousands of soldiers of the two armies died in the fight against each other, blood-stained grass and bone wasteland...... I don't know, what the point of this will be in the end! ”

Speaking of this, Yu Dan hugged his head in some pain. In any case, he was a Hun born in the grassland, although he had half of the Han family blood in his body, but seeing the Xiongnu fall to today's tragic situation, the guilt of betrayal in his heart could not be shaken.

The corners of the crown prince Liu Ju's mouth moved, and he was about to say something comforting, but he saw Yuan Zhao wave his hand, and then pulled them to stand up together.

The wind passed through the grassland, the fire was extinguished, the Han army camps near and far were endless, the reflection of blades and armor glittered in the moonlight, the majestic war horses neighed in the depths of the grassland, and the banner in the army was rolled up in the fierce Han heroic wind.

"War is for the ultimate peace! Only those who have endured the most brutal tests of death can cherish the peaceful life in the future...... Our ultimate goal is that in the near future, all the ethnic groups living on this land, from south to north, from east to west, whether they are Han, Yue, Goryeo, Western Regions, Xiongnu or Donghu...... They're all family! ”
