"In fact, the old man and the king of Liang have already married Liangzi, when I was the middle of the imperial history, the king of Liang broke the law, and the old man punished his sins according to the law, since then he has a grudge, and let out the words, sooner or later I want my head to fall to the ground. To put it mildly, this time King Liang protected me as the vanguard to put me to death, but Qi Wannian's army was too fierce and did not want my life for the time being, and the old man was ready to die at any time from the moment he set out on the expedition! ”

"Ah, how could King Liang ignore the world for his own selfishness?"

"King Liang was originally an incompetent, selfish and profitable prince, in his eyes, the world is child's play, like Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, he is the master who wants to slap his ass and leave when something happens."

Seeing that the situation around him was so difficult, Zu Ti said, "Old general, if you don't dislike it, I am willing to stay and help you." ”

"How can this work, you don't hold a military position, you can't serve in the army!" Zhou knew that Zu Ti was a loyal and righteous person, how could he be willing to send him to death here with him.

"Old general, please fulfill the ancestor once, although I am not a person in the army, I can also serve the country!"

"Absolutely not, you will take someone back to Luoyang tomorrow!" Zhou replied firmly.

"General, Zu Ti retreated and begged for the next time, I asked to stay here for ten days, waiting for the call, all of which should be experienced in the army, so as to pave the way for the future conquest of the frontier."

"If you want to say this, the old man can barely agree, as you said, you will experience ten days of training in the army, and you will go back as soon as the ten days are up!"

"Zu Ti obeys!"

At this time, an officer came in and said: "General, the Xiongnu Hao Department is stationed in Malan Mountain, and there are tens of thousands of troops, and they often come out to plunder, which is not a shallow disaster. ”

"Got it." Then he waved his hand to signal the officer to stand back.

Zu Ti saw that Zhou was preoccupied and said; "The general is worried about Hao?" ’

"Yes, the Xiongnu Hao Department is the cause of the Guanzhong Qiang Rebellion, in the reign of King Zhao once had a department called Hao San, when he gathered people to rebel, but was defeated by Ouyang Jian of Feng Yi County, Hao San fled in all directions, and then had to surrender to the government, but King Zhao secretly ordered Ouyang Jian to kill Hao San, his younger brother Hao Duyuan heard the wind and fled with his troops, just last year under the banner of revenge for his brother rebelled again, but he could not succeed alone, so he took refuge in Qi Shuai Wannian, and with other Di and other people, The commander of the Qiang tribe supported Qi Wannian to raise troops for the emperor, and soon gathered hundreds of thousands of troops from Diqiang, and King Zhao was scared away at that time. ”

"Now Hao Duyuan is Qi Wannian's right-hand man, the army is strong, if he can be allowed to surrender to the imperial court, Qi Wannian will be alone, the soldier has a cloud: the heart is the first, the old man wants to subdue Hao Duyuan, but now he has not found a suitable person to persuade first, because the person sent must have courage and knowledge, and we must go alone to show that we have no guilt......"

"So that's the case, I agree with the general's statement, if you can recruit Hao Bu, the soldiers will not be bloody, it is really the best policy, general, Zu Ti is willing to go!"

"...... you?"

"Although Zu Ti has never been in battle, he has a brave heart and believes in treating people with sincerity, so why should Hao Bu resist."

"Luoyang Shuangxia really deserves its reputation, okay, the old man will promise you, I have prepared a letter written by the Yongzhou Thorn History Interpretation Department here, he understands what happened back then, I believe that Hao Bu will be shaken when he sees it, if you move it with affection and reason, it is not impossible for Hao Bu to return to the imperial court."

Zu Ti took the letter handed over by Zhou and said: "Zu Ti must do his best to strive for Hao to surrender to the imperial court and pacify Qi Wannian as soon as possible." ”

Zhou nodded approvingly: "Okay, you go and prepare, and leave tomorrow." ”

When Zu Ti and Yun Ru arrived at the camp, Yun Ru said worriedly: "Big brother, I am very worried that you will go to Hao Bu alone, so I will go with you too." ”

"No, didn't you listen to General Zhou, you must be alone to persuade you to surrender, otherwise it will only backfire."

"That--that--big brother, you have to be careful......" Yunru looked worried.

"Don't worry, I'll get out of the way, trust me."

Yunru yawned, and Zu Li said distressedly: "Yunru, go to sleep, tomorrow you will go back to Luoyang with the people of Sili Mansion." ”

"No, I'm not going back, I'm going to wait for you, I'm going back to Luoyang with you, when you come back, we'll go back."

Zu Ti knew that he couldn't resist her, so he had to say: "Then you can't go anywhere if you stay in the barracks, and you will go back to Luoyang when I come back." ”

"Okay."

Zu Ti made the bed for Yunru, picked up the quilt and spread it on the ground, and said to Yunru: "Sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow." ”

There was nothing to say all night, and on the second day, Zu Ti got up early, sent away the soldiers and civilians of Sili Mansion, said goodbye to Yunru and Zhou, rode a fast horse, and went straight to Malan Mountain.

Malan Mountain is in Niyang County, Beidi County, which is a settlement area for the Qiang people who moved inward. Hao Duyuan and the Huns hid in the mountains, and in the past two years, they have robbed their homes and houses, bullied the people, and done a lot of things that hurt the heavens and reason, and they became even more arrogant after Qi Wan.

It was dusk when Zu Ti came to the foot of Malan Mountain without stopping, and he stayed in an inn in the town, and walked to Malan Mountain early the next morning.

Malan Mountain is upright, the forest is luxuriant, the flowing springs and waterfalls, Zu Ti along the path coiled up, not long after, four big men with scimitars in front of him, blocking the way, one of them shouted: "Who is so bold and dares to go up the mountain alone, red-faced man, what are you doing!?" ”

Zu Ti hugged his fists and said: "I am Zu Ti, working under General Zhou's account, and today I am ordered by Lord Shi Xie and General Zhou to find Hao Dashuai to discuss something." ”

The big man shouted angrily: "Xie ordered to kill our handsome Hao San back then, we still have to settle accounts with him, you are sent by him, isn't this looking for death, this is what you sent to the door, kill you first!" ”

The big man swung his knife to slash, Zu Ti dodged and dodged, the big man slashed and chopped one after another, Zu Ti responded calmly and unscathed.

Dahan said: "Yo, the martial arts are good, brothers, give it to me." ”

The rest of the people were also eager to use their swords, and Zu Ti raised his sword and said: "Slow, today I am not here to fight and kill, I am here for the safety and way out of your tribe, are you nesting in this Malan Mountain for the rest of your life!?" ”

The big man stopped them and said, "Wait, listen to what he has to say first." Then he said to Zu Ti: "What do you want to do here alone?" Speak quickly! ”

Zu Ti said: "I said just now that I came for your tribe, as for the specific things, I will talk about it when I see your Hao Marshal." ”

Dahan looked behind Zu Li, and Zu Li said, "Don't look at it, I'm alone." ”

Dahan looked at the others again, and someone approached and said: "Anyway, he is a person, let's take him to see Dashuai, see what he says, and it's not too late to kill him if he doesn't like it." ”

Dahan nodded and said, "Okay, come with me," and said to the others: "Keep your eyes bright, and if there is a situation, immediately release wolf smoke!" ”

"Yes!"
