(Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to all readers!) ）

The tunnel in the city is not long, very narrow, can only crawl in it, after coming out, the seven people are all gray-faced, looking back, Jincheng towers not far away, the night is shrouded, and there is a small mound to cover it, and they can't see each other clearly.

Everyone reburied the exit, picked a hidden place and hurriedly marched, Gui Yuehua walked in the front to lead the way, one foot deep and one foot shallow, everyone had their own thoughts, and no one spoke.

They went out of the city relatively late, after walking out of ten miles, the sky was already dawning, Gui Yuehua stood under a dead tree, pursed her lips and whistled, and soon there was a response in the woods, seven or eight people came out, looking at their appearances and dresses, they were all Chu people, and the leader obviously recognized Gui Yuehua, and asked suspiciously: "Why are these few people?" Is it done? ”

Gui Yuehua sighed, "Alas, it's hard to say, bring Junhou out first, the others are still in the city, and the matter can only be postponed." ”

The man came to Hua Bin, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Junhou is safe and sound, it has finally become a big deal." ”

"How can Hua Mou dare to teach the master of Dong Zhai to come to the rescue?"

The two are also old acquaintances, and after a few words of greeting, the owner of Dong Zhai returned to that incident, frowning slightly, "Tell the king of the Huns, if you don't get anything, we won't be able to meet people." ”

Gui Yuehua was more familiar with him, and said impatiently: "So Junhou didn't even bring out his son, everyone else stayed in the city, and we went to see the Huns, and we have our own explanation." ”

Dong Zhai Lord laughed twice, glanced at the other five people, didn't say anything, led the way, entered the woods, dozens of people and horses were hidden in the forest, everyone got on the horse, no longer hid their tracks, and went straight to the Hun camp more than 20 miles away after leaving the forest.

The Huns relied on their large number of soldiers, retreated and set up camp, and could still besiege Jincheng, and at the same time it was convenient to graze cattle and horses.

There were Huns on the way to greet them, and found that there were not many people out of the city, and they did not carry anything like a head, so they immediately expressed their dissatisfaction, and one of Dong Zhai's subordinates explained in Xiongnu for a long time, and Dong Zhai said to Gui Yuehua in a whisper: "You'd better really have a rhetoric, this Hun king is not very easy to get along with." ”

"Don't worry." Gui Yuehua pointed to the other five people, "They are all the emperor's cronies and guards, and they were moved by Junhou and voluntarily defected to the Huns, which is a small merit, right?" ”

Only then did the owner of Dong Zhai smile.

The Huns' tents were very messy, and according to their size and magnificence, they could judge the dignity of their owners.

The owner of Dong Zhai politely asked Hua Bin and others to stay in an ordinary tent, and he and Gui Yuehua went to see the king of the Huns. There are many Hun kings, and everyone calls him "the king", and his status should not be low.

Hua Bin stood at the door, watched Gui Yuehua and the others leave, turned around and said, "Your Excellency is the general of the chariot and cavalry, Deng Cui, right?" ”

The four attendants were taken aback, and Deng Cui nodded in response: "It's me." ”

"I'll just say that Your Majesty won't send a person out of the city casually, ugly words are ahead, if someone recognizes General Deng, I can only push the boat down the river, claiming to persuade General Deng to surrender, as for whether the Huns believe it or not, it depends on what General Deng says."

Deng Cui smiled: "Don't worry, the Huns are easy to deceive." ”

Hua Bin smiled, not too sure about the young general.

Not long after, the owner of Dong Zhai came back alone, "Come with me, the king wants to see you." ”

Hua Bin said: "What is the name of this nobleman?" It's called 'The King'? ”

"The king is what we call him, and he likes it very much, so it's right."

The group walked towards the largest tent in the camp, and the road was full of Huns on horseback, in groups of three or five, whistling back and forth, seemingly without any rules, but there was never a collision or conflict, no matter how many horses there were on the road, they could always miss each other smoothly.

The tent was the size of two or three ordinary houses, with a floor underneath, and it took three steps to reach the door, and the tent was covered with a thick carpet of felt.

There were many people in the tent, among which sat a stout Hun man in his forties, flanked by six or seven concubines, who did not avoid guests, and looked curiously at the new Chu people.

As soon as Deng Cui looked up, he saw the King of the East China Sea.

The King of the East China Sea was wearing the clothes of an ordinary soldier of the Honor Guard Battalion, sitting on the side seat, and also saw Deng Cui, his face changed slightly.

The two looked at each other for a moment.

Hua Bin noticed this scene, thinking that this was really not even a little accident, saying that he would meet it, and took a few steps forward, and was about to kneel down to worship the king of the Huns, and introduced the general of the Che Cavalry to surrender, hoping to get through, but Deng Cui spoke first, and smiled at the side seat: "General Chai!" I didn't expect to meet here. ”

The face of the king of the East China Sea returned to composure, "Chai Ping" was his fake identity, seeing Deng Cui wearing the clothes of the guard camp, he understood that the other party was also a fake, so he returned the salute with his fists, and said in confusion: "Forgive me for my clumsiness, Your Excellency looks familiar, it seems that he is also a person next to the emperor, but I don't know how to call it." ”

"General Chai is a noble man who forgets things, I am the ...... of the honor guard battalion"

Everyone in the tent looked sideways, Deng Cui hurriedly shut up, followed Hua Bin, and knelt on the ground together.

The king of the Xiongnu didn't seem to have any doubts, and asked with the help of an interpreter: "Are the honor guards of the emperor of Chu like you?" ”

Deng Cui is slender and handsome, and he does have the style of a guard of honor, and replied: "Chu State has a good face, and the guards selected are almost the same as me, with an empty body, and after getting on the horse, he can't pick up a gun, and he can't shoot an arrow." ”

After the translation, the king of the Huns laughed, waved his hand, and someone came over, leading Deng Cui and others to the side seat and sitting next to the king of the East China Sea.

"My name is Wei Su." Deng Cui whispered.

The King of the East China Sea hummed lightly, and also replied in a low voice: "Chai Ping." ”

The servants of the palace and the Deng mansion were not in the tent, and they were obviously not qualified to meet the king of the Huns, so Deng Cui drank wine and ate meat with confidence, as if he often came here as a guest.

Among the many Chu people, Shu Deng Cui was the most outstanding, and he was also open in front of the Huns, and immediately attracted the attention of the Hun king and a group of concubines, and the interpreter asked: "That honor guard, the king asked you, how many guards does the emperor of Chu have?" You and this General Chai are both soldiers of the same battalion, why don't you know each other well? ”

Deng Cui swallowed the meat in his mouth and replied: "There are less than 4,000 defenders in the city, and there are more than 1,000 emperor's guards. I have a low status, so I know him, he is a noble man who forgets things, and he doesn't remember me as a little soldier. ”

After listening to the translation, the concubines of the Hun king laughed and stretched out their fingers, obviously thinking that the "little soldiers" were more like honors than the "generals".

The king of the East China Sea was silent, he only wanted to escape from the encirclement of the Huns, or return to the capital, or go to see his uncle Cui Hong, hoping to be able to relieve the mustard and become a family again, and he was very jealous of Deng Cui's appearance, and always suspected that the emperor had sent him to hunt him down.

Deng Cui was very calm, said everything, and reduced the guard camp to nothing, where it was either a straw bag with a false appearance, or a noble with a ghost in his heart, few people really protected the emperor, and soon more people would come out to surrender, "Like us, we can still carry the flag and hold the halberd, those nobles, everyone calls themselves 'generals', in fact, they are all the same as this Chai general, relying on Zuyin to be the emperor's follower, and he can be a big official in a few years, how can he lead troops to fight?" ”

The interpreter said for the king of the Huns: "I see, no wonder this Chai general is so young. ”

The king of the East China Sea blushed even more, and he really wanted to open his mouth to remind Deng Cui to say a few words, but this is the territory of the Huns, and he is pretending to be someone else, how dare he speak?

The king of the Huns feasted all the Chu people but was not only polite, after three rounds of wine, the king of the Huns clapped his hands, and a prisoner was quickly brought in outside.

The captives had obviously been locked up for a long time, their clothes were in tatters, their faces and bodies were full of scars, their expressions were haggard, but they had no intention of timidity, they stood up with their heads held high in front of the Hun king, and were pressed down by the Huns, and after getting rid of their restraints, they immediately stood up again, and their bodies shook, but they refused to give in.

The King of the East China Sea and Deng Cui glanced at each other, and they were both taken aback, but they didn't expect that there were still many acquaintances in the Xiongnu camp.

The king of the Huns noticed the change in the expressions of the two, and the interpreter asked, "Do you recognize this person?" ”

The king of the East China Sea nodded, he was too flustered now, and he didn't know how to answer, Deng Cui said flatly: "This person's name is Zhuo Ruhe, and he is the concubine of the Chu State, the county guard of Hongnong, and the Qincha of grain. ”

When Zhuo Ruhe toured the counties of the world, he went to Daiguo and met Deng Cui, as for the King of the East China Sea and Hua Bin, he was a person he had known for a long time, but he just stood with his head held high, as if the tent was full of strangers.

The king of the Huns was very satisfied with this answer, which showed that the guard of honor was more honest and did not lie, so he said a bunch of words, and translated: "Zhuo Ruhe, you are a concubine in the Chu State, and you can also be a concubine in the Xiongnu, and the daughters and granddaughters of Da Shan Yu are younger and more beautiful, which is worthy of you." You say that Chu is full of loyal ministers and good generals, but you see, the nobles of Chu and the emperor's guards have all come to surrender to the Huns, what else do you have to say? ”

Zhuo Ruhe didn't squint, "Great Chu has a large population, a hundred times that of the Huns, it's normal to have a few black sheep, aren't more Chu troops still holding on to Jincheng?" ”

The interpreter was about to speak again, but Deng Cui stood up and said to himself, "Zhuo Ruhe, do you still recognize me?" ”

"Zhuo is a good man, and he doesn't recognize the chaotic ministers and thieves." Zhuo Ruru raised his head like a crane, his gaze still not moving.

Deng Cui said: "Zhuo Yuma, you can not recognize me, but you can't fail to recognize the situation, now Jincheng is lonely, the emperor is seriously ill, and he can't hold on for too long, and the emperor's ascension to the throne is shallow, and he can't be supported by his subjects. The number of Great Chu Qi has been exhausted, everyone knows, why should Zhuo Horse hold it alone? ”

Zhuo Ruhe glanced at Deng Cui, "Hey, the eyes of the rebellious ministers and thieves are naturally all rebellious ministers and thieves." You said that the emperor ascended the throne of the Qing Dynasty, but the Great Chu Dingding had a hundred years, and the ancestors were meritorious and descendants; You said that the emperor must not be supported by his subjects, but the emperor has been helping the peasants all the way, and the people of the world are all wishing the emperor to live long for a long time to keep him safe; You said that Jincheng was alone, but what Zhuo saw was that reinforcements from all over the country were coming, and the Huns were proud for a while, and it would be difficult to return to the grassland in the future; You say the emperor is seriously ill...... I don't believe it. ”

Deng Cui said with a smile: "The reinforcements are on the way, why is Zhuo Horse here?" ”

"It will take a while for reinforcements to gather, but I can't let the Huns think that there is no one to save Dachu, so I voluntarily brought troops here, not for anything else, I just want the emperor to know that Jincheng is not alone."

"So you die without regrets?"

"No regrets."

Deng Cui turned to the king of the Huns, "This kind of person is desperate for the emperor, the so-called foolish loyalty is also, and he is still fantasizing that someone can gather the Chu army outside the Saiwai and attack the Xiongnu with Cui Hong's army in the south and the north, kill him, it is useless to leave him."
