Jin Chuiduo's voice and smile were in front of him, Han Ruzi sat in the tent, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face, and he felt a trace of heat on his body inexplicably.
"Your Majesty." There is humanity outside.
"Come in." Han Ruzi put away his smile and retracted his distraction, his current situation is not very favorable, he only led two thousand people to go deep alone, far less than the Huns on the opposite side, and the Huns Da Danyu, who had not directly participated in the war, suddenly became a key figure in the situation.
Jin Chunzhong originally stayed in Chai Yue's army, joined the emperor in the Broken Iron City, chased the enemy with him, and happened to act as a messenger to negotiate with the Huns.
It was already dark, the Chu army was camped in a sheltered place, the grain and grass were only enough for three days, and the nearest reinforcements were also a hundred miles away, so they had to save money, and even the emperor himself could only gnaw a few pieces of dry food on the melted snow.
Jin Chunzhong's face was flushed, it didn't look like he was completely frozen outside, Han Ruzi looked at him by candlelight, "You're drinking." ”
Jin Chunzhong's face turned even redder, and he hurriedly said, "My sister left me for a few drinks, and she has nothing else to entertain there." ”
The Huns drank wine like drinking water, which not only quenched their thirst, but also kept out the cold, and the Chu army also carried wine bags outside the fortress, but it was drunk a few days ago, and there was not a drop left.
Han Ruzi smiled, of course he wouldn't care about this kind of thing, "What's the situation?" ”
Jin Chunzhong straightened his face, "The Xiongnu Da Dan Yu commanded tens of thousands of troops, and this morning he took the gods and ghosts Da Dan Yu to the camp and talked for a long time. My sister said that she would try to negotiate a negotiation with the Huns to hand over the gods, but Your Majesty would have to think about the conditions. ”
"Hey, the Huns almost died in the hands of the gods and ghosts, but now they want to protect him?"
Jin Chunzhong arched his hand and said: "My sister said that the Huns are afraid of gods and ghosts, but now they are even more afraid of Your Majesty. ”
"Afraid of me?" Han Ruzi was surprised.
Jin Chunzhong nodded, "Your Majesty won more with less, defeated the gods and ghosts Da Dan Yu that everyone in the West feared, and his reputation was shocking. ”
Han Ruzi felt even more strange, he was going to defend himself, but after thinking about it, Jin Chunzhong just relayed the thoughts of the Huns.
"What conditions do the Huns want?"
"Your Majesty can follow the practice of the previous generation, canonize the Xiongnu Dadanyu, give the seal, and agree to clear the customs."
Han Ruzi nodded, "As long as the Huns are willing to hand over the gods and ghosts, I can accept such conditions." I'm just waiting for one day, and I'm going to see people tomorrow before it gets dark. ”
Jin Chunzhong took a step forward and whispered: "There are many Hun soldiers, and Da Dan is young and vigorous, so it seems that it is not appropriate to provoke him." ”
"You just said that my prestige is far and wide, which makes the Huns afraid, and if I don't give a deadline, the Huns will still think that I am afraid of them."
Jin Chunzhong suddenly realized that the Chu army was weak and weak, and he had to behave unyieldingly to create the illusion that the Huns would not hesitate to fight.
"I'll go see my sister again, and make sure the matter is settled."
Han Ruzi nodded, and when he saw that Jin Chunzhong was about to exit the tent, he couldn't help but ask, "Can Concubine Jin come to see me?" ”
Jin Chunzhong bowed awkwardly and replied: "I'm afraid that there will be some difficulties, the Huns are ......."
Han Ruzi waved his hand, "Go early and return early." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Jin Chunzhong withdrew and went to the Hun camp overnight.
Han Ruzi was so tired that he didn't wait long, he fell asleep on the bed, and his dream was full of golden figures......
Jin Chunzhong only returned the next morning, and he saw his sister, and he also saw the Xiongnu Dashan Yu himself.
"Da Shan Yu hopes to negotiate with His Majesty in person, with my sister acting as the interpreter, and the two sides can exchange hostages......"
"Forget about the exchange of hostages, arrange negotiations as soon as possible."
Jin Chunzhong received the order, did not dare to slack off, and then went to the Huns to deliver the message, back and forth, and finally arranged everything properly.
In the afternoon of the same day, Han Ruzi led a small group of guards to a nearby hill, which was about the same distance from the camps and had a wide field of vision, so that he would not be ambushed.
The soldiers of the Chu army temporarily set up a small tent, and the guards on both sides guarded outside, and only the emperor, Da Dan Yu and Jin Chuiduo entered.
Han Ruzi and Jin Chuiduo haven't seen each other for a long time, probably staying outside the plug for a long time, her appearance has changed slightly, there are more frost and severity in addition to beauty, and she is more difficult to approach than before, and when she saw the emperor, she just nodded slightly, except for translating the words of both sides, she didn't say a word.
Da Shan Yu was very polite, outside the tent in front of the soldiers on both sides, bowed to the emperor, and after entering the tent, he asked Jin Chuduo to say to the emperor: "The Xiongnu and Da Chu are brothers, my Yan is the princess of Da Chu, and His Majesty's concubine is the daughter of the Huns, and the relationship is more intimate." ”
Even when it comes to himself, Jin Tuoduo has no special expression.
Han Ruzi didn't come to set up friendships, so he exchanged a few words of greeting and asked directly: "When will the Xiongnu hand over the gods and ghosts?" ”
Xiongnu Da Dan Yu said a lot, Jin Chuidao frowned slightly, and seemed to argue a few words, but he still faithfully translated, "Da Dan Yu said, the battle of emperors, there are victories and defeats, it is not appropriate to kill them all, the gods and ghosts Da Dan Yu is defeated like a mountain, it is difficult to make a comeback, why doesn't Your Majesty let him go?" ”
Han Ruzi also frowned slightly, stared at Da Shan Yu and said: "This is not the content of today's negotiations, I led the army to attack thousands of miles, not to let the enemy chieftain go, but to get rid of future troubles forever." Don't the Huns remember the difficulty of extermination? The old Shan Yu never forgot the enemy, and now Shan Yu forgot about it so easily? ”
Jin Chuiduo obviously didn't hide these words, and Da Danyu's face changed slightly after hearing it.
"Da Shan Yu said, the heavens favor, the Huns are not dead, don't mention the original hatred, if it is the Emperor of Great Chu who is killed at this moment, he will also make peace in the middle."
Han Ruzi couldn't help but laugh, "Heaven favors? Da Dan Yu really thought that the Huns did not die because of the help of the sky? ”
Jin Chuiduo replied directly: "Da Danyu will not thank His Majesty in person." ”
"What I want is not thanks, but the gods and ghosts."
Jin Chuiduo translated, and Da Danyu shook his head.
"He said that the gods and ghosts were caught by the Huns, and even if they wanted to be killed, they should be killed by the Huns, in order to comfort Lao Dan's soul in the sky."
Han Ruzi thought for a while, "Yes, but I want to see the human head." Also, my younger brother is in the hands of the gods and ghosts, and he must be returned to Da Chu alive. ”
Xiongnu Da Danyu nodded and said a few words.
"Early tomorrow morning, the Huns will behead the gods and ghosts in public, and transfer the head to the Chu army before noon, and as for His Majesty's younger brother, return it together."
The negotiation went more smoothly than expected, Han Ruzi got up and stared at the Xiongnu Da Danyu, but spoke to Jin Chuiduo, "Is he credible?" ”
Jin Chuiduo remained silent, said a word to the Xiongnu Da Dan Yu, and then replied to the emperor: "I will do my best to ensure that Da Dan Yu keeps his promise, and I also ask Your Majesty to make more preparations and reserve a hand." ”
The two sides left separately, and as soon as they returned to the Chu army camp, Han Ruzi immediately ordered to attack the camp of the god and ghost Da Danyu.
There were only more than 100 people left in the camp, and when they saw the Chu army, they immediately knelt down and surrendered, and the soldiers searched the camp, but did not see the king of the East China Sea, only found Zhao Ruosu.
The other Chu envoys were all killed on the way, and Zhao Ruosu was also extremely weak, and was carried back to the camp by the Chu soldiers, and after eating a little, he finally got a little better.
"The King of the East China Sea was taken away by the gods and ghosts." After Zhao Ruosu got up and spoke, he immediately came to see the emperor.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Zhao Ruosu squeezed out a smile, "Crime on crime, it should be like this." ”
"Almost, I will forgive you all your sins today, and you can make meritorious service again."
"Can Your Majesty be one day later to forgive me my sin?"
Han Ruzi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Do you still have something to say?" ”
Zhao Ruosu nodded, "Wechen has something to say, it may be a little too early, but only at this moment, Wechen can still speak freely to His Majesty." ”
"Well, I give you 'guilt,' and say it."
"After this battle, the stability of Your Majesty's throne has surpassed Emperor Wu and Taizu, and no minister will dare to compete with Your Majesty from now on.
"Hey, I don't want to be thousands of miles away, as long as the Huns on the other side are willing to hand over the head of the god and ghost Da Shan Yu."
"The Huns were rampant for a while, so they should not be afraid, but Your Majesty, have you figured out how to be the emperor of your word?"
Han Ruzi thought for a while, "Now is not the time to talk about this, your 'sin on top of sin' should continue for a while." Have you ever seen a god and a ghost in person? ”
"The gods and ghosts don't like to show up, although they are on the way to escape, they also cover their faces with heavy helmets, Wechen has never seen his appearance, only heard his voice, Wechen guesses, the gods and ghosts Dadan must have a disease on his face."
"The Huns claim that they will behead the gods and ghosts early tomorrow morning, and I am a little worried."
Zhao Ruosu thought for a moment, "Your Majesty should indeed be worried. ”
"Huh?"
"As far as Weichen knows, the gods and ghosts Da Dan Yu was not captured by the Huns, but took the initiative to surrender, and there must have been a way to persuade the Huns Da Dan Yu."
"Xiongnu Da Danyu won't be stupid enough to believe his words, right?"
Zhao Ruosu said: "There is one thing, the emperors of the world want it, the gods and ghosts can give it to the Huns, but Your Majesty can't." ”
"Name." Han Ruzi stood up and understood what Zhao Ruosu meant, "The gods and ghosts want to dedicate their name to the Huns, with this name, the Huns will be able to dominate the western countries." ”
"Presumably, this is the only thing in the hands of the gods and ghosts that can impress the Huns."
Han Ruzi paced back and forth, and suddenly stopped, "In this way, the Huns will not keep the covenant tomorrow, and the Chu army must strike first, and kill the gods and ghosts Da Shan Yu no matter what." ”
Zhao Ruosu didn't squeak, when it came to the war, he couldn't come up with an idea.
Han Ruzi didn't ask him, walked to the tent, and ordered the guards to pass on the main generals in the army, he wanted to arrange a night attack, although the Chu army had few soldiers, but the momentum was flourishing, and the Huns were not prepared, maybe they could win.
Before the generals arrived, Jin Chunzhong hurried over, he took a nap, went to the Hun camp to check the situation, just came back, rode straight to the emperor's tent, and did not let the guards report, and broke in directly.
"Your Majesty, don't ...... big things" Jin Chunzhong saw Zhao Ruosu and hurriedly shut up.
"Say it, it's okay."
"My sister hopes that Your Majesty will withdraw immediately, and the Huns will not send the head of the god and ghost Da Danyu at noon tomorrow, but will attack the Chu army."
"Sure enough, how did Concubine Jin find out?"
"Da Shan Yu has my sister's eyeliner by his side, saying that the god and ghost Da Shan Yu left the camp yesterday and went west under the escort of the Huns. The Xiongnu Da Dan Yu wanted to delay time, but the Chu army had just attacked the camp of the gods and ghosts Da Dan Yu, which made him angry and determined to start a war tomorrow!
