Chapter 1104: Hate River
Mobei, before the tent of the Zhou army's battalion.
The handsome chair that Xue Shao usually sat on was empty, but the camp was still full of flags fluttering and swords were shining, and the middle marquis was majestic and majestic. Xue Chuyu stood in front of the handsome chair with a stubborn and high-spirited face, and looked solemnly at the not far ahead, a team of Turkic knights escorted several carriages and horses slowly coming.
The hundreds of generals on the field also looked at the team of carriages and horses as intently as Xue Chuyu.
This is a very important moment. Inside those carriages, there should be several very important people. It is important that they can decide the life and death of 100,000 people, and even the fate of the country.
The carriage stopped. The leading Turkic envoy was already an old acquaintance of everyone, he got off his horse first and walked in front of Xue Chuyu respectfully, bent down and saluted, "General, my envoy is fortunate to live up to his life and sent the person Marshal Xue wants." I don't know Marshal Xue, where is the person? β
"Your work hard." Xue Chuyu said, "You can just bring people to me." β
The envoy's face was happy, "So, Marshal Xue hasn't returned from Shuozhou yet?" β
Xue Chuyu was silent.
The minister shouted and rejoiced, "That's good, that's good!" β
Everyone knows that the deadline given to him by Xue Shao in advance is that when he comes back from Shuozhou, he must meet the people he wants to see, otherwise he will go to war. It is no wonder that the Turkic envoys were in such a mood.
"What about people?" Xue Chuyu didn't care about his mood.
"Yes, the envoy will go and invite him to come over and meet the general." With that, the envoy immediately walked towards the carriage.
"Him?" Xue Chuyu groaned secretly, "Isn't they? β
Everyone, all eyes on the carriage.
A man, dressed in the costume of a Turkic nobility, bound all in ropes, stepped out of the carriage.
Everyone let out a shout!
- Wang Yu?!
Xue Chuyu's eyes widened instantly, but he immediately regained his composure, raised his hand and pointed at it and shouted angrily, "Why do you want to tie up?" β
"The Great General forgives the sins!" The Turkic envoy was a little flustered, "Please listen to my explanation!" β¦β¦β
"I told them to tie them up." It was Wang Yu's voice.
People were even more skeptical. The scene became quiet.
Wang Yu walked towards the handsome tent, lowered his head, didn't look at anyone, and there was no expression on his face.
Xue Chuyu's eyes narrowed slightly. After a long time, he still clearly remembers the scene when he sneaked into the Turkic tent and almost killed Wang Yu in Dujin Mountain.
At that time, Wang Yu should be the most difficult, helpless and painful one among all the people Xue Chuyu has ever seen in his life.
At that time, it was a luxury for him to even beg for death.
Finally, he mustered up the courage to survive. not only protected the lives of Xue Chuyu, Ai Yan's mother and son, Xuan Yunzi and others, but also led troops to extinguish Ashina Mosi's rebellion. It was also after that rebellion that the founder of the Turkic Khanate, Ashina Gulu, also died.
The civil strife in the steppes and the death of the Bone Brothers was a great weakening for the Turkic Khanate. If it weren't for the Valley of Desire, the Turkic Khanate might have perished at that time.
The weakening of the Turks was undoubtedly the victory of the Great Zhou. From then on, the Turks were no longer able to wage wars of aggression against the south. It is impossible to calculate how much military spending and how many fewer people died in the Great Zhou as a result. It was precisely because of the free hands of the Turks that the Great Zhou won the war against Tibet.
In this way, Wang Yu is a typical "being in Cao Ying's heart in Han", and he has made great contributions to Da Zhou.
But now, Wang Yu has indeed become a "Turk". Not only because he is now wearing the clothes of a Turkic nobleman, but also because he has already married a Turkic family and has children, and he is still married to a skinny daughter, a Turkic princess with strong roots. In addition, he was once a general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and after being captured, he betrayed the enemy and held a high position, which is not recognized by traditional Chinese moral concepts.
Therefore, all the Great Zhou soldiers present looked at Wang Yu with very complicated eyes.
Under everyone's attention, Wang Yu walked in front of Xue Chuyu, knelt down on his knees, and touched the ground with his forehead.
"Sinner Wang Yu, come to die."
Eight words, like eight needles, pierced Xue Chuyu's heart.
With his temperament, he wanted to stride forward to meet him, first tore Wang Yu's eye-catching Turkic clothes, and then gave him a strong bear hug.
But Xue Chuyu didn't move, and said lightly but majestically: "Come on, first loosen the tie for General Wang, and ask him to go down to rest." Good student hospitality. β
"Yes."
The left and right sergeants stepped forward and helped Wang Yu up from the ground.
Wang Yu silently followed the sergeant. He didn't look up at anyone the whole time.
Xue Chuyu took a few steps forward, finally squeezed out a smile on his face, and said to the Turkic envoy: "What about others?" β
"And ...... Who? The Turkic envoy asked rhetorically with a blank face.
Xue Chuyu frowned, and said patiently: "Wang Yu's family." And Xuanyunzi. β
"This ......," the envoy squeaked, "and please general, how about a secret conversation in the tent?" β
Xue Chuyu knew that those people were not in the other carriages, so he didn't have to hate itchy, but he had to endure it for the time being, and said loudly: "The generals will listen to the order - today's matter must not be discussed in private." Violators, severe punishment! β
"Yes!" All the generals took the order.
In fact, Xue Chuyu didn't give an order, and everyone knew it. Wang Yu is not a simple person, he is not only Shangguan Wan'er's cousin but also Xue Shao's only personal student, and he was once very favored by the empress, as if he had a bright future. Now he is a key figure in the war in front of him. The matter about him is almost equivalent to a military matter, and no one dares to chew on the root of the tongue.
Xue Chuyu invited the Turkic envoys to the tent, and without saying a word, "Speak." β
The Turkic envoys also saw that although Xue Chuyu, a great general, did not have the eloquence and domineering spirit of Xue Shao, his whole person was like a sword that had just been unsheathed, or the kind of sword that would kill people and see blood if he disagreed.
It seems that it is not only useless to go around the bend with Xue Chuyu, but it may also be fatal.
So the Turkic envoy succinctly talked about the key point: "The meaning of our country's tooth tent, please ask the general to retreat a hundred miles first after receiving Wang Yu." After the withdrawal of the army, the Diet sent the rest of the people. Just show each other's sincerity, and ask the general not to be responsible. β
Xue Chuyu took a deep breath, twisted his eyebrows, gritted his teeth, and pondered.
The Turkic envoy suddenly felt a chill in his heart inexplicably...... This General Xue, if he moves casually, he is angry, how many people has he killed?
"Someone." Xue Chuyu suddenly shouted, "Pass on my general's order, the whole army will immediately set out of camp and set off for a hundred miles south to set up camp again." β
"Huh?" The Turkic envoys could hardly believe their ears, was that too simple?
"I'm impatient." Xue Chuyu's voice was almost emotionless, "I hope you keep your promise, otherwise you will bear the consequences." β
With that, Xue Chuyu left.
Suddenly, the envoy shed a cold sweat on his head, kept waving his sleeves to wipe it, and whispered in a broken voice: "Why are all these people I met more strange than the other?" β
100,000 laborers moved in an instant, and migrated to the south.
Wang Yu was well taken care of, he ate well and lived well, and no one bothered him when he was served, but no one said a word to him, including Xue Chuyu, whom he wanted to see the most.
Five days later, the 100,000-strong army retreated 100 miles south and re-camped and stationed.
The Turkic envoys arrived as promised, and sent several more wagons. This time, it was Wang Yu's family who was sent - the princess he married in the Turks, and his two children, all came.
Everyone was surprised, including Wang Yu himself. No one expected that the Turks would promise to send these people back.
However, Xuan Yunzi still did not come.
The Turkic envoy said that if he asked the Zhou army to retreat a hundred miles south, he would naturally send Xuanyunzi at that time.
Xue Chuyu didn't say a word, the quick knife on his waist flashed, and the Turkic envoy covered his ears and screamed loudly. Blood flowed all over his face, and there was already an ear on the ground. He shouted loudly: "The country of etiquette in China, the two countries are at war and do not kill them. But why is the general ......?"
"Ben will be a martial artist, and he doesn't know etiquette and only admits right and wrong." Xue Chuyu said coldly: "Since you dare to deceive me, you will have to bear the consequences." β
The Turkic envoy covered his bloody face in pain, "Even if the general kills me, it won't change the decision of the tooth tent." If you want to see Xuan Yunzi, the general can only ...... Retreat a hundred miles! β
"Order, retire." Xue Chuyu gave the order.
The Turkic envoy was almost ready to cry without tears, "Since the general knows the matter and knows the festival, why should he embarrass the envoy...... Tiny ears? β
"I remember telling you that I was impatient." Xue Chuyu said indifferently, "I'm very impatient to borrow your ear and tell your tooth tent again this time." β
"Well, the envoy takes his leave! β¦β¦β
The Turkic envoys didn't dare to say anything, so the left and right attendants gave him a brief medical treatment and hurried away.
The Zhou army once again set up camp and headed south.
The next night, the Zhou army settled down by a river.
Xue Chuyu called Wang Yu to the river, and the two talked alone.
"You're finally willing to see me?" Wang Yu took the initiative to speak.
"Why do you sayβfinally?" Xue Chuyu's expression was very natural, just like an ordinary old friend talking, "Actually, I've always wanted to see you, so I just wanted to have a good chat with you." But there are too many things to do, and it is rare to have a moment to spare. β
Wang Yu smiled bitterly, "Let's talk about something?" β
"A lot, a lot." Xue Chuyu let out a long breath softly, "However, I really don't know where to start." β
The two men looked at the river in front of them in a daze, and they were stunned.
"I remember when I was seriously injured and endangered lying in the carriage, I fled north along this river. Many people have walked for a long time and walked very hard. Xue Chuyu said with full of memories: "If there was no river at that time, I would have died, and many people would have died." β
"Yes. Walking in the desert, without water is far more terrifying than without food. Wang Yu pointed to the river, "Do you know what it's called?" β
"Does the river still have a name?"
"Hate the river." Wang Yu said, "The Turkic Khan Gu Lu - that is, my father-in-law, gave it a name. β
"Why is it called Hate River?" Xue Chuyu was quite curious, "As you said, if it weren't for it, many people would die in the desert." β
"Back then, the Bone Khan was once ......" Wang Yu paused, smiled bitterly, and then said: "I was captured by Marshal Xue." Later, he was lucky enough to flee back, and together with his younger brother Mo Si, he led more than ten horsemen, and it was along the river that he went north to the grassland. He said that at that time, his heart was full of shame and anger, and he often ran to the river alone to vent his life. The river seemed to sense his emotions, and the waves became more turbulent. In order to remember the pain of defeat and the humiliation of being captured, the Khan of Gulu gave the river a name, the River of Hatred. β
"Regardless of his position, Gu Lu is indeed a person who has achieved great things." Xue Chuyu said, "Worthy of respect." β
Wang Yu did not answer. He looked at the river again, and was stunned.
Xue Chuyu knew that what Wang Yu was thinking about the most now must be how to face Xue Shao after he went back.
At this moment, is his mood just like this river of hatred, churning around?
