Chapter 696: Courage
Huaiyuan General's Mansion, Yao Rong was rarely idle, and a while ago, there was a drastic change in Beijing, which shook the entire border army.
He was an old man who followed the emperor, and he was very sad after knowing that the emperor died, but he immediately received the emperor's edict and knew all the truth, so he could only cheer up, obey the will of the first emperor, and sit in the border army without any changes.
The first emperor died, the rebellious second prince was exterminated, and the third prince ascended the throne in accordance with the emperor's edict, and everything developed according to the first emperor's hope, which made him feel a little relieved.
Now he only hopes that the day of the crusade against the temple will come soon, and maybe there will really be a day when he will rule the world!
No, there must be!
"General Qiyu, the barbarians have come down from the city!" The guards of the city gate hurried to report it.
Yao Rong raised his eyebrows and said, "Hey, why did the barbarians kill at this time?" Is the beacon fire lit? ”
"General Qiyu, the last general did not light the beacon fire, because there are only a few barbarians in the city, and they claim to enter Beijing to congratulate the emperor on his accession to the throne, so the last general came to ask the general, do you want to shoot them to death on the spot?"
Yao Rong couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this, there were only a few people here, and they were going to enter Beijing to congratulate the emperor on his accession to the throne?
This is new, did Da Zhou have envoy dealings with the barbarians? He hadn't experienced it anyway!
However, Yao Rong remembered what the emperor had said, the barbarians were not born war-loving, they just had to fight for survival.
Yao Rong pondered for a long time, and then said: "Whether to let them enter Beijing or not, I don't count if I say it, I have to ask the emperor." However, these people are not small, they dare to come to Shuozhou City, I will go and see it in person! ”
The number of horsemen stopped under the city, and the people on the horse did not move, but sat on the horse all the time, not only did not move, but there was a sense of calmness.
General Huaiyuan strode to the city wall, and saw at a glance the number of horses under the city, and there were indeed only a few horses.
Yao Rong waved his hand and said: "Put down the bow and arrow, there are only a few people, why be so cautious, you have fallen into the prestige of our border army!" ”
The bows and arrows around him were all put down, and Yao Rong raised his voice and said: "I am Yao Rong, the general of Huaiyuan, my Great Zhou is at war with you barbarians, why are you coming to my Great Zhou?" ”
"I am Yunye of the Desolate Clan, and I went to the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty to congratulate the new emperor on his accession to the throne, and I hope that Shuozhou City will release it!" The first one said loudly.
Yao Rong said loudly: "Desolate Yunye? What a boldness, I dare to come to my Shuozhou City! However, it doesn't matter if you want to let you go to the capital, you have to ask the emperor! ”
"I don't know if you dare to enter the city to wait for the news, this will be said in front, if the emperor refuses your request, then you, as barbarians, don't want to get out of Shuozhou City! Do you dare to enter the city? ”
Yun Ye laughed loudly: "Why don't you dare? It's the Longtan Tiger's Den, and I can break through Yunye! ”
Sure enough, Yao Rong ordered: "Open the city gate and let them in!" ”
The generals defending the city did not object, and immediately shouted to open the city gates. It's just a few people, even if it's a master, their border army is not afraid of facing a barbarian army, and they are afraid that only a few people won't succeed?
The gate of Shuozhou City was suddenly opened, and several horsemen slowly entered the city gate, and the soldiers guarding the city were all staring at them, and the people walking on the horses were all burly men, and there was no sign of deformity or decay.
However, to their surprise, there were not only five burly men among the horses, but also two horses carrying two bound beasts and two vicious wolves!
Master! These people are all masters! Yao Rong could see it at a glance, but this was not surprising, after all, the barbarians were already masters, and the people who could be selected to be envoys must be the talents of the clan.
It's just that Yao Rong is a little curious, why are there still two horses carrying two evil wolves? Could it be the prey along the way? Or food?
Yun Ye also saw Yao Rong's doubts, and laughed: "This is the congratulatory gift we prepared for the emperor!" ”
The surrounding soldiers pouted their lips when they heard this, and the congratulatory gifts prepared for the emperor turned out to be two wolves? It's really cold enough, I don't have anything to do, let alone two wolves! It is estimated that the emperor went out hunting, and he was too lazy to shoot when he saw a wolf, and this barbarian even gave two wolves as a gift.
Because the Great Zhou and the barbarians have been fighting for many years, these soldiers did not have the slightest idea of respecting the barbarians, and the expressions on their faces were not hidden at all, and they were completely disdainful.
Yao Rong also couldn't help but pout, because he also thought that this barbarian's gift was a bit funny, and it stands to reason that barbarians wouldn't be so rude.
Yao Rong also noticed that the soldiers around him all looked pouting and disdainful, but he didn't care, although this was very rude, but what kind of etiquette did he have to deal with the barbarians?
These barbarians obviously also noticed the disdainful looks on the faces of the surrounding soldiers, except for Yun Ye, who was still calm, the rest of them had a faint look of anger on their faces.
Yao Rong said in a deep voice: "I will send someone to the capital to report to the emperor, you will stay in the city and wait for news, if the emperor agrees to let you go to the capital, I will send someone to escort you to the capital, if the emperor does not let you go to the capital, then you will stay in Shuozhou City forever!" ”
Yun Ye said in a deep voice: "Okay, we are waiting for news here!" ”
Yao Rong turned around and ordered: "Chang San, arrange a place for them to live, and they will be taken care of by you during their time in Shuozhou City, understand?" ”
Take care? Chang San naturally understood the meaning of this care, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the general will definitely take care of it properly, and there will be absolutely no mistakes or omissions!" ”
If the emperor's will comes and refuses them to enter Beijing, then the meaning of care becomes to send them on the road.
Chang San arranged them in a separate courtyard and guarded them with heavy soldiers, but they were also safe, so they stayed in the courtyard honestly.
The news of several barbarians swaggering into Shuozhou City spread quickly, and the generals of Shuozhou City did not feel nervous or afraid.
This is their home base, and wouldn't it be funny if you became nervous because you entered a few barbarians?
They just felt a little surprised that there were barbarians who dared to enter Shuozhou City, which was really unusual. What's even more strange is that these barbarians even went to the capital to congratulate the emperor on his accession to the throne.
When did the barbarians and the Great Zhou pass the envoys? This is the first time in history.
But what made them quite amusing was that these barbarians actually brought two evil wolves into the emperor as a congratulatory gift, and they actually regarded the evil wolf as a treasure, which was really funny.
