(Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription)
Han Ruzi has never been so nervous, there are thousands of people around, but they are all unpredictable, they may become the most powerful help, or they may suddenly raise their knives and guns to kill, the key to deciding everything may be just a word, an action, a voice, a snowflake......
Han Ruzi looked at the three corpses on the ground, not knowing what to say in the first sentence.
In the tent of the Chinese army, more than a dozen generals slowly walked out, they were afraid of being affected by the Avengers, so they all hid in the innermost, and only then did they dare to show their faces.
Liu Kunsheng, the commander of the Northern Army, was always hesitating, and the moment he looked at General Zhenbei, he knelt down, this was the second time, and the young man appeared at the most unexpected time.
The other generals also knelt down, even the few people who had previously supported Chai Zhi were no exception.
Han Ruzi calmly accepted their kneeling, and did not ask them to get up as usual, he turned around, took off his cloak, and then began to take off his armor, Cai Xinghai had already jumped off his horse and stood aside, and then stepped forward to help General Zhenbei unarm.
Han Ruzi's movements were relatively slow, no one knew what he was doing, Liu Kunsheng and the others looked up at his back, and hurriedly lowered their heads.
Chai Yue ran over with a group of people and knelt down on both sides of the general in Zhenbei, but Han Ruzi still didn't speak, and he didn't ask the generals to get up, and continued to take off his armor one by one.
The ordinary soldiers around him were inexplicable at first, and gradually felt panic, it was a capital crime to use swords and guns in front of the Chinese army's tent, and the enemy was currently disturbing the morale of the army, and it was an unforgivable crime.
"It's the king of the East China Sea......" someone shouted loudly, wanting to justify his actions, but he closed his mouth halfway through the words, and his heart was even more panicked.
Han Ruzi didn't know what he was doing, he just wanted to attract attention and delay time, and when he took off all his outer armor, only cotton clothes were left on his body, he opened his arms, and was about to speak, when a voice suddenly sounded nearby: "Ping, peace!" ”
The sentinel in front of the tent was still doing his duty, and the voice on the other side was not too loud, and when he came to him, he was close to the tent of the Chinese army, and the voice was very abrupt, and after shouting, he puffed up his chest and looked into the air without squinting.
The impact of his voice was far beyond his imagination, and the panic that shrouded the heads of the soldiers in front of the Chinese army's tent was greatly weakened, and finally someone shouted: "The entourage of the king of the East China Sea killed Chai Junzheng!" "We're taking revenge!"
Han Ruzi waved his hand and ordered Cai Xinghai's soldiers to retreat, so that he would face the troublesome soldiers directly.
He walked a few steps forward and got closer to everyone, Chai Yue, Cai Xinghai and the others were taken aback, did not answer the hint, and did not dare to follow, only Meng E followed as an ordinary soldier.
"We just want to get revenge......" said one of the officers closest to the general of Zhenbei, nervously.
"I'm here." Han Ruzi kept walking within five steps of this person before stopping, "No armor, no sword, if you want revenge, shoot." ”
The officer became even more nervous, and hurriedly shook his head, "It's the king of the East China Sea......" found that he was holding a knife in his hand, and hurriedly threw it on the ground, "It's the retinue of the king of the East China Sea......"
"The King of the East Sea is my younger brother." Han Ruzi would rather say this fact by himself than be poked out by others, he raised his voice, "How many descendants of the Han family are here?" ”
Some people bowed their heads in shame, there are indeed many clan children in the Northern Army, and the highest status is the right general Han Tong, who is also the same as other generals at this moment, kneeling in front of the tent of the Chinese army, with three corpses beside him.
"How many other people are relatives of the emperor? Is it a descendant of honorable people? ”
More people bowed their heads, and there were already many noble sons and daughters of the Northern Army, especially in front of the Chinese army's tents, all of whom were related to the clan.
These words alone could not stop the dissatisfaction in everyone's hearts, and Han Ruzi finally thought of a way: there was only one thing that could make the soldiers temporarily give up disputes and contradictions, and that was to share the same hatred and hatred.
Han Ruzi pointed to the north, the snowflakes were still fluttering, and the view was blocked, making the distance even more mysterious.
"100,000 Huns are waiting on the opposite side, and another 100,000 Huns have already killed Mayi City, just waiting for Da Dan to attack the city under an order, and there are more Huns hiding in the north, ready to go south to support." Han Ruzi doubled the number of Huns attacking Mayi City, and the two "100,000" were more comfortable and more afraid of deterrence.
Sure enough, after hearing these words, everyone was shocked, the generals dared to make trouble, the most important reason is that there is a ready-made "great achievement" on the other side, if the Huns are stronger than expected, and the Chu army is not sure of victory, what they did just now is not "nonsense", but "serious crime".
"You are the soldiers of Great Chu and the elite of Great Chu, the current strong enemy, without a fight and self-chaos, what face do you have to return to the Guannei?" Han Ruzi walked into the crowd, and all the soldiers got out of the way and threw down the weapons in their hands.
Han Ruzi walked to the highest place, looked at the north and said: "The Eastern and Western Xiongnu have been merged, but the Chu army is going to split, even if the monarchs don't care about the survival of the Great Chu, do they even regard their own lives as child's play?" ”
This is a little heavier, most of the soldiers around are from noble families, and what they are most afraid of is not military law, but being involved with "disloyalty", more and more people knelt down, and finally everyone knelt together, shouting for war.
Han Ruzi felt a little relieved, strode to the front of the Chinese military tent, and the first order was to send the three corpses into the tent, and then let all the senior generals form a circle around him and discuss military affairs in front of everyone.
Chai Yue only had the opportunity to remind General Zhenbei that the Great Sima Yin had been taken away by the King of the East China Sea.
"Printing is not important." Han Ruzi had to downplay the impact of this matter, otherwise, it might cause another chaos, and he didn't even immediately send someone to chase after the King of the East China Sea, really treating the Great Sima Yin as nothing, "Captain Liu continues to be in charge of the Northern Army. ”
Liu Kunsheng was ashamed, "Liu is incompetent and unbearable." Then he knelt down again.
Han Ruzi stopped him from kneeling this time, "I promise you to make meritorious service for your crimes, gather the whole army, take a defensive position, and you are not allowed to cross the river without my order." ”
One of the generals asked in surprise: "Don't you fight the Huns?" ”
"At least not today." Han Ruzi has just eliminated the chaos, the stability of the Chu army is still very fragile, and it is impossible to fight with the Huns at this time, "General Feng You and General Tongzuo assisted Liu Duwei to escort the Chinese army tent back to the broken iron city, and General Chai stayed on the front line......"
Han Ruzi issued several orders one after another, and finally said: "I have to go back to negotiate with Da Shan Yu." ”
This decision surprised and surprised everyone even more than General Zhenbei riding back to the camp alone.
"General Zhenbei, don't ......" Liu Kunsheng and the others didn't want General Zhenbei to leave at this time, and they didn't have the confidence to control the whole army.
Han Ruzi waved his hand to stop their persuasion, "You have your duty, I have mine, no matter what happens in the negotiations, no matter whether I can come back or not, the Chu army must not cross the river today, understand?" ”
Liu Kunsheng looked at each other for a while before nodding in agreement.
Due to the loss of the Great Sima Seal, Liu Kunsheng and the left and right generals had to go to the order in person, and Han Ruzi left Chai Yue and said in a low voice: "It is your duty to have as many soldiers as possible to stay on the front line." ”
Chai Yue nodded, still uneasy, "General Zhenbei really wants to go back and continue the peace talks?" ”
"The generals are not in harmony, they are separated from each other, do you think this battle can still be fought?"
Chai Yue was silent, after 50,000 reinforcements came, the combat effectiveness of the Chu army declined, and it was indeed not suitable for an attack.
Cai Xinghai stayed by his side and stepped forward and said, "I'll send General Zhenbei back......"
Han Ruzi shook his head, "It must be me alone." Cai Xinghai, you immediately take a hundred men to Shenxiong Pass, write a letter to the general, remind him of the danger of Mayi City, and, if possible, persuade the king of the East China Sea to return. ”
Cai Xinghai took the order to leave, and Han Ruzi said to Chai Yue again: "The other side is the Xiongnu army, the Chu army has no big Sima Yin at the moment, and there is no real commander, you have proven your ability, and then you have to fight for your position." ”
"Me?" Chai Yue felt uneasy in her heart.
"If I can't come back, the Chu army needs a general, and if I come back safely, I need a competent helper. Chai Yue, if you want to make a contribution and pay homage to the prime minister, there is no better opportunity than now. ”
Chai Yue's face was red, and she didn't know what to say.
Han Ruzi beckoned, ordered someone to take his mount, turned over his horse, glanced at Meng E, nodded at her, and slowly drove towards the river meander.
The generals had already heard that General Zhenbei was going back to negotiate with the Huns, and they were all puzzled, and someone slowly gave an explanation: "The Chu army was in civil strife, and it was not enough to fight with the Huns, and General Zhenbei had to go to peace talks in order to contain the Huns in order to keep the soldiers of the Chu army." ”
This explanation convinced many and made many feel ashamed.
Chai Yue stood stunned for a while, and Meng E stepped forward and said, "General Chai." ”
Chai Yue suddenly came to his senses, waved his hand to call a group of generals from the Broken Iron City, and assigned tasks to them, "The attitude of the Huns towards the general of Zhenbei depends on the strength of the Chu army, and the Chu army will withdraw to the south bank and fight again, just like the previous two wars." ”
Chai Yue slightly modified General Zhenbei's statement, not mentioning the civil strife of the Chu army, not mentioning that the strength was slightly inferior, not to mention retreating to self-defense, he admired General Zhenbei, but he had his own ideas on how to command the army.
In Chai Yue's order, the retreat of the 10,000 Chu troops in front was more like a build-up.
Then, he walked towards Liu Kunsheng and the others with more than a dozen generals, who were moving more slowly, and were directing the guards to carry out the corpses and dismantle the Chinese military tent.
Chai Yue walked up to Liu Kunsheng and arched his hand: "The Chinese army is back in the city, please leave the soldiers of the Northern Army on the front line." ”
"All?" Liu Kunsheng asked in surprise.
"Yes."
"General Zhenbei made it very clear that he will not cross the river today." Right General Feng Shili said.
"It is precisely because I do not cross the river today that I have to make a posture of war, so that the Huns do not dare to act rashly, I will immediately erect all the wooden bridges, and the whole army will assemble by the river."
Liu Kunsheng was dumbfounded, "You're not ...... Didn't they force the Huns to shoot at General Zhenbei? ”
"Otherwise, the Huns proposed peace talks because they felt that the Chu army was strong, so the more weak they were, the more unfavorable it would be to General Zhenbei."
Liu Kunsheng was speechless, Feng Shili and Han Tong looked at Chai Yue, not understanding why this young nobleman suddenly became tough.
"General Zhenbei appointed me to take charge of the front line." Chai Yue said.
Feng Shili snorted, and was about to speak, when Liu Kunsheng said, "Just follow what General Chai said." ”
Liu Kunsheng realized that he was not a close confidant of General Zhenbei, and he was not capable of commanding the whole army, so it might be a better choice to "cede" power to Chai Yue.
Having just experienced a chaos, the generals on the left and right did not want to rebel against the lieutenants of the Northern Army.
The tent was still being dismantled, and Chai Yue escorted the lieutenant of the Northern Army and the generals of the left and right to return to the city in advance, and along the way passed orders to the generals of the battalions under the ridge, asking them to obey the orders of General Chai Yue.
Liu Kunsheng became the living Great Sima Yin.
On the other side of the river, Han Ruzi, who had taken off his armor, was galloping his horse back to the peace tent at a faster speed.
The Hun sentinels had already discovered the abnormality, passed the word all the way back, and soon got the order not to pay attention, in Da Danyu's view, this was the embodiment of General Zhenbei's "commitment to retreat".
Han Ruzi returned to his place smoothly, but he could not enter the account immediately, and a Hun went in to ask for instructions, and only after getting permission from Da Shan Yu did he let this strange guard in.
In the tent, Da Shan Yu and Fang Daye also took off their armor and were drinking and talking. (To be continued.) )
