It is easy to block the news from the enemy, but it is difficult to hide it from one's own people, rumors are rife in the Hun camp, Qu Zixi can get a lot of information without deliberately inquiring or eavesdropping, but the truth of these information is difficult to distinguish, and contradictory, it is difficult to judge how useful it is.

When Qiao Wanfu came back the next day, he told the emperor in a hurry.

It is said that Deng Cui has led his army to recapture the checkpoints along the Great Wall and the entire Liaodong, which is good news, but it is impossible in terms of time.

There are also rumors that the Chu army in Yannan was defeated and was fleeing, and Da Dan Yu was transferring the Xiongnu army in Jincheng over, allegedly to herd horses in the south of the Yangtze River.

Cai Xinghai did observe the frequent movements of the Xiongnu army, but the so-called "Jiangnan herding horses" can never be trusted.

One way or another, the Huns were in a hurry to reach peace talks.

This time, Qiao Wanfu brought several Huns, two of whom could speak Chu, and refused to give an inch to Da Danyu's conditions, and demanded in a commanding tone that the emperor of Chu accept the peace talks immediately.

The king of the East China Sea put forward the conditions of the Great Chu-for-tat: the Xiongnu could stay in Liaodong, but they would become subjects of the Great Chu, and if Da Dan wished, the emperor would consider appointing him as the county guard of Liaodong......

The Huns were furious, and drew their swords on the spot, which startled the king of the East China Sea, but fortunately there were guards to protect them, and the Huns waved them a few times, put away their swords, and left angrily, claiming that they would attack the city again within an hour.

The Huns did not attack the city, but brought dozens of envoys from Chu, lined up, Qu Zixi, Zhuo Ruhe, Feng Ju and others were among them, and even Qiao Wanfu, who had been preaching for Da Dan Yu, was also tied up with five flowers, and the Hun soldiers bent their bows and arrows behind the Chu envoys, preparing to shoot the envoys in public to punish the emperor of Chu for his "untrustworthy words".

Qu Zixi and Zhuo Ruhe took the lead, and the Chu envoys knelt down and kowtowed to the city wall, and then got up, Qu Zixi begged the Chu soldiers in the city to shoot arrows so that he would not die under the bow of the Huns.

The Chu army did shoot arrows, and the arrows fell far away from the Chu envoys, but the Huns were still taken aback and left in a hurry with their captives.

In the evening of the same day, Qiao Wanfu was sent to Jincheng again, this time, he brought more accurate news.

The Huns took the initiative to reveal the situation in the north and south.

The Chu army outside the Saiwai had just arrived in Yan State, and indeed recaptured many checkpoints, and a Hun army challenged the Chu army, Deng Cui did not respond at all, and led the troops to gallop like crazy, without baggage, with only a small amount of grain and grass, and every time he captured a pass, he ate on the spot.

At this rate, Deng Cui will soon be able to kill Liaodong, and the Huns who are far away in Jincheng will not have time to return to defense, and the Huns in Yannan will not be able to return to defense.

The Chu army in Yannan was indeed defeated, but it was not dispersed, step by step, the Huns increased their troops to more than 100,000, but they still could not swallow this Chu army, but they were constrained and could not rush to the rear.

Da Dan Yu admitted that the situation was extremely unfavorable to the Huns, but reminded the emperor through Qiao Wanfu that the situation was even more unfavorable for him.

"If there is no way to retreat, the Huns have no other choice but to go south, join the Chen Qi rebels, and support the King of England as the emperor, before that, the Huns cannot just stay in Jincheng." Qiao Wanfu tried to be as tactful as possible, but the meaning was very clear, before the Huns went south, they would inevitably break through the city of Jin and kill or capture the emperor.

Han Ruzi nodded, indicating that he and Da Shan Yu were actually competing to see who could not hold their breath first.

Qiao Wanfu continued: "Once Jincheng is lost, the capital will definitely ...... Another new monarch will be established, and even if His Majesty is lucky enough to return to Beijing in the future...... It will also be difficult to regain the throne. ”

Han Ruzi nodded again, "What about Da Danyu's conditions?" ”

"Da Dan Yu said that the Huns had given in, and the current conditions could not be changed at all."

"Good."

Han Ruzi knew how dangerous this game was, but he firmly believed that the first person who couldn't hold his breath was definitely not himself.

Early the next morning, the king of the East China Sea, Cui Teng and others formed a new delegation and were invited to the Hun camp to continue negotiations.

King Youxian recognized the King of the East China Sea, and after hearing his true identity, he was first shocked, and then furious, if he hadn't been pulled by many nobles, he would have hacked the new Chu envoy to death on the spot.

After seeing the Huns angry many times, the king of the East China Sea was not afraid, and talked eloquently in front of the king of Youxian, as if he had only infiltrated the Hun camp last time to find out about the military situation......

The negotiations on this day were still inconclusive, and the Huns repeatedly emphasized the danger faced by the emperor, and showed disapproval of their own situation, "I have heard that the water and grass in the south of the Yangtze River are abundant, and we have no problem going south to herd horses, and the Huns can live wherever they go, but the emperor may not be." ”

"The Great Chu Emperor is the Great Chu Emperor wherever he goes, and the Huns are not necessarily the Huns when they go to Jiangnan." The king of the East China Sea himself didn't know what this sentence meant, but after the interpretation passed, it made the face of the Huns on the opposite side change.

They missed the endless steppes where they could gallop to their heart's content, and the Huns shuddered at the thought of the description that the south of the Yangtze River was full of water and that the horses could not run away.

Back in Jincheng, the king of the East China Sea confidently assured the emperor that in three days at most, the Xiongnu would be relented.

Without waiting for three days, that night, the Huns suddenly attacked.

Fortunately, the Chu army in Jincheng has never slackened, and the people have not been idle, making full use of these few days to strengthen the city wall as much as possible, even if it can't prevent the siege weapon, it can also block the impact of the cavalry.

The Huns were quite cunning, first pretending to be envoys, claiming that there was an urgent matter to meet the emperor immediately, and when the city gate was opened, dozens of people swarmed in, occupied the city gate hole, and completely opened the gate.

More Hun cavalry followed.

The two sides fought fiercely under the city gate, although the Huns had the first opportunity, but the stamina was insufficient, only two or three thousand people, and there was no backup, and they were gradually repelled by the Chu army, and fled in a hurry, leaving dozens of corpses.

This attack is inexplicable, the Huns do not need to attack the city with the whole army, the strength only needs to exceed 5,000, and it is difficult to hold the Jincheng, but the Xiongnu side only used a small number of troops, and it does not last, and when they see that the momentum is not right, they immediately run.

It's harassment, but it's too serious.

The soldiers and civilians of Jincheng were tense for a night, the soldiers did not sleep, and the people moved to Beicheng to take refuge.

An hour later, the Xiongnu sent several envoys, claiming that the siege was an accident and a misunderstanding.

The Chu army was no longer fooled and refused to open the city gates for them.

Early the next morning, Qiao Wanfu came alone and finally explained the cause and effect.

Attacking the city was the idea of King Youxian, he was too angry, thinking that he could easily break through Jincheng, as long as he cut off the emperor's head, no one could do anything about him.

Jincheng was not lost, the emperor's head was still strong, and King Youxian had to pay for his impulsiveness.

Qiao Wanfu brought a gift from Da Shan Yu - the head of the Right Virtuous King was placed on the ground.

Everyone present was shocked, and the King of the East China Sea leaned over to identify it for a while, and nodded to the emperor with a pale face, "It's really him." ”

"Da Dan Yu will appoint a new envoy, and this time, the negotiation is real." Qiao Wanfu stayed in Jincheng and did not have to go back to the Huns.

It was almost noon, more than a dozen new envoys arrived, and one of them was Jin Chunzhong.

The Kim siblings have been denied permission to see the emperor, and now they can finally show their faces.

The negotiations were still in charge of the East China Sea King, and Cui Teng passed the news back and forth.

Da Dan Yu made a big concession, Liaodong can be returned to Da Chu, but a passage must be left for the Xiongnu army to return to the grassland safely, and the annual gifts given by the two sides to each other will be reduced by half, as for Chen Qi, it is not in the negotiation content at all, and Da Dan Yu has long been out of mind about the rebels.

Jin Chunzhong revealed that the rebels had been completely annihilated, and only a few leaders were left to flee, no longer posing a threat to Dachu, and there was no help to the Huns.

Running back and forth between the negotiation site and the emperor's residence, Cui Teng was tired of it, and he was happier and happier every time, "Haha, Da Danyu has given in again, Your Majesty is really accurate." ”

When he came to report the situation to the emperor for the seventh time, Cui Teng changed his face, he was angry, his hands were clenched into fists, the eunuch stepped forward to greet him, he raised his fist and was about to hit, and the guards guarding the door had to stop him, and after getting clear permission, he was let in.

"It's too much!" Cui Teng's face turned red with anger, "It's too much, Your Majesty, I can't bear it anymore!" ”

"What's going on?" Han Ruzi couldn't think of any condition of the Huns that could provoke Cui Teng so angry.

"Didn't the Huns ask for peace?"

"Hmm."

"It's nothing, Da Shan Yu will marry a few daughters or granddaughters to His Majesty, and he doesn't ask to be a queen, as for Da Chu, just find a 'princess' and send it over, who knows...... Who knows......" Cui Teng's face turned even redder, "The Huns actually named someone!" ”

"Roll call? Whose name is it called? Han Ruzi was also surprised.

"My sister."

"Huh?" Han Ruzi was also angry.

Seeing that the emperor's expression was wrong, Cui Teng calmed down instead, and hurriedly said: "It's not the queen's sister in the capital, it's the third sister Cui Zhao here." ”

Han Ruzi realized that he had misunderstood, shook his head, and then frowned: "Cui Zhao? This...... How did Da Shan Yu know her name? ”

"Aren't the two servants of the Acting Palace?" Cui Teng's face turned red again, because this matter was inextricably linked to him.

At that time, the two servants chatted privately about the peculiarities of the champion Mrs. Hou, but unfortunately Cui Teng heard it, and the two were punched and kicked, but they were not injured, but they were afraid in their hearts, and they fled from the city to surrender to the Huns.

These two people were later killed, but the rumors in the city were left among the Huns, and the more they spread, the more exaggerated they became, the right Xian King was very interested in this beautiful and hard-fought woman, and asked Da Chu to compensate the princess when he had already had a heart, but he didn't have time to find out.

Da Shan Yu ruthlessly killed King Youxian, but he was also interested in his interest.

Han Ruzi was very surprised, the two countries exchanged arms, and both sides were now standing on the edge of the cliff, and Da Shan Yu was still thinking about this kind of thing.

"It's okay to refuse, and the big order won't insist." Han Ruzi said.

"No, of course no, I am...... It's just that you can't be angry, the Huns did it on purpose, right? Just to embarrass our Cui family, the third sister is unlucky enough during this time......"

Cui Teng said goodbye and left, angry in his heart.

Han Ruzi was thinking about how to restore contact with the Chu army in the outside world, when Zhang Youcai, who was standing beside him, suddenly said: "I don't know who Da Shan Yu will marry Your Majesty?" ”

Han Ruzi glanced at him coldly, and Zhang Youcai stepped aside in disdain.

The negotiations did not end that day, but there was some progress, the king of the East China Sea was more confident, and the soldiers and civilians in the city were also happy, but they didn't dare to show it too obviously, for fear of being disappointed in the future, and afraid of not being brave and loyal enough, but when they thought of being able to live, everyone was much more down-to-earth.

Soon after dark, Cui Teng came again, this time he was not so annoyed, but seemed a little confused, "The third sister asked me to bring a message, she wants to see His Majesty." ”

"Now is not the time, tell her that Da Chu is not going to exchange a weak woman for peace." Han Ruzi didn't want to see outsiders.

The third sister said that she wanted to see His Majesty no matter what, and explain the matter clearly to his face, and if His Majesty was not seen, she would rather ...... Death is a clear will. ”
