Chapter 44: The End of the Marriage Contract.
The failure to capture Ugin City that night was something that many generals, including Ma Tan and Zhuge Song, did not expect.
Just as the city of Ugin was about to fall, Zhuge Song saw a young barbarian general appear at the head of the city, he carried his sword and shouted something loudly, while killing several soldiers who were about to run down the city. Since the city has gradually organized an effective defense, the arrows are constantly shooting, because it is dark, it is really inconvenient to attack the city, and in the end, Zhao Yun can only order to retreat first, and then use siege equipment to attack tomorrow.
After dawn the next day, when the smoke was curling, just as Zhao Yunjun began to cook and prepare to launch a final attack on Wujin City after he had eaten enough, Shamoke rushed into Zhao Yun's big tent with great anger and asked Zhao Yun why he didn't tell him anything in advance. Zhao Yun was silent, not knowing how to explain, but Ma Yan said to Shamoke: "The general has already expected that Na Guye will be eager to launch an attack after seeing you enter the city, and with your ability, the king, you will definitely be able to kill out of the city, so as not to tell you in advance that you are timid and show flaws in your heart, I didn't tell you first!" ”
Shamoke was stunned for a moment when he heard Ma Tan call him the king, Ma Tan smiled and pointed to a wooden box on Zhao Yun's case and said to Shamoke: "The rebel leader Naguye ambushed me, I think the king will know last night, you are the eldest son of the barbarian king, the barbarian king is dead, the traitor has been ambushed, in the future, you will be the undisputed king in this land!" ”
There was a hint of joy on Shamoko's face, which diluted the anger he had just had, but he still found a step for himself and complained, "Then you can't use me as bait, and treat me and my subordinates like mustard!" ”
Ma Tan smiled and walked to Shamoke's side and patted his burly body lightly and said: "Only when the king puts himself in danger and leads out the enemy to avenge his father, is it the capital to be the king smoothly in the future, General Zhao's hard work, I hope the king will forgive me!" ”
At this point, although this idea was not Zhao Yun's idea, as the commander of the first army, Zhao Yun was also open-minded, and actually stood up and hugged his fist at Shamoke, and said, "I have no choice, the king forgive me!" ”
Seeing that Zhao Yun was actually like this as the commander of the first army, Shamoke waved his hand and said, "That's it, that's it, General Zhao helped me avenge my father, forget it!" ”
At this point, everyone was happy, and they had breakfast in Zhao Yun's military tent, preparing to send troops to storm Wujin City with large siege equipment.
Because all the rebels who chased out with Na Guye last night have died to death, and now the number of rebels in Ugin City is only a few thousand, and the defense force has been greatly weakened, so it is no longer the huge price to pay for storming Ugin City when Zhao Yunjun first arrived.
Of course, the fewer casualties, the better, but after last night's defeat, it is no longer possible for the rebels in Ugin City to go out of the city to fight Zhao Yun, and the current Ugin City seems to have to solve the problem by storming.
Unexpectedly, just as the army was about to set off, a red horse suddenly ran on the avenue in the direction of Ugin City. Shamoke saw the people on the horse and excitedly rode forward accordingly, the other generals had not seen it and maybe didn't know, but Zhuge Song recognized at a glance that it was Shana who was being imprisoned in the city by Na Guye and sent someone to guard it.
Zhuge Song told the other generals about this, and the other generals were just as puzzled as him. Looking at Shana's red helmet and red armor, she looks heroic, and she doesn't look like she desperately escaped from Ugin City.
But she is the most important hostage in Ugin City at this time, if she doesn't escape, will anyone be stupid enough to let her out?
It turns out that Shana was really released, but the person who let her out was not stupid, and after asking who the main general was from Shamoke, Shana took out a letter from the horse bag and handed it to Zhao Yun, knelt down with a plop, and said to Zhao Yun: "Please ask the general to accept the surrender of the city!" ”
From beginning to end, Shana didn't look at Zhuge Song, as if Zhuge Song was just like air in her eyes. Zhuge Song never imagined that the person who asked for surrender for the city this time was Shana, who was taken captive and became the "trophy" of the rebels.
Thinking of this, Zhuge Song's heart actually chuckled: "Could it be that she has been forced to commit herself to that deer and become the wife of her son who killed her father and enemy, and now she is interceding for him?" ”
Zhao Yun helped Shana up, and while reading the letter, he asked her to tell her why the city had surrendered. After listening to Shana's narration, Zhuge Song was actually relieved that Shana did not marry Na Luduo, this feeling made him very uneasy, he felt sorry for Qing'er, but also seemed to be unable to resist this relieved emotion.
Through Shana's narration, Zhuge Song learned that it was just after the army retreated last night. Knowing that most of the city's army had been destroyed, Naludo found her and begged her to intercede with Shamoko and get him to agree to the surrender of Ugin. Because Na Luduo has never used force on Shana, but only hopes that she can marry him sincerely, and the mutiny that night was also suddenly launched by his father without him, so although Shana has no good impression of Na Luduo, she does not hate him.
Shana said that she and Na Lu Duo had grown up together, and that after she was arrested in Yuannan City, it was Na Lu Duo who asked her father to persuade the barbarian king to withdraw from the army in order to release him. And her kneeling was not just hoping that Zhao Yun could accept the surrender of Wujin City, she was so that Zhao Yun could let the deer have a way out.
Shamoke's brows were already twisted when he heard Shana's words, Zhao Yun thought about it, and asked Shana: "Letting that deer live is a condition for the surrender of Ugin City?" ”
"No!" Shana smiled bitterly and shook her head: "That Luduo said that as long as the general is willing to let his tribe live, he is willing to die." ”
She knelt down again and said to Zhao Yun with a pleading face: "This is just a request from Shana, I have already decided to do so when that Luduo took the initiative to let me come out with a surrender letter!" ”
Zhao Yun set his eyes on Shamoke, who looked away and sighed: "That's it!" That's it! As long as my sister lives, I will promise anything! ”
Zhao Yun looked at Zhuge Song again, and Shana was finally willing to look at Zhuge Song, but the plea in her eyes was for another man, Zhuge Song had the intention to avoid it, but remembering her arrogant demeanor when she first saw her, looking at her current pitiful appearance, she still nodded and agreed.
Shana's face suddenly became happy, but her gaze immediately left Zhuge Song, just looking at Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun said: "Okay! Since your brother and Zhuge Song have agreed, I can also agree privately, and I will intercede for him from the lord, as long as he is willing to submit sincerely, I can let him live! ”
After that, the deer on the head of Ugin City opened the city gate shortly after Shana entered the city alone, and a large number of Shamoko tribes in the city who had been used as slaves regained their freedom, and Shamoke, who avenged the murder of his father, after rescuing so many clansmen, with the support of Zhao Yunjun, made the surrounding tribes also send envoys to recognize him as the new barbarian king of the Wuxi barbarians, and correspondingly, the captured tribes of the Guye tribe became the slaves of their original slaves, these are the affairs of the barbarians led by Shamoke, Zhao Yun and Zhuge Song also did not interfere.
However, the deer who had spared his life and left Ugin City alone did not look back when he left Ugin City, except for giving Shana a deep salute before leaving.
Zhuge Song looked at the resolute back of the deer and felt a little uneasy to let him go, when the class teacher returned to Nanjun, Shamoke came to Zhuge Song to spread the word that Shana said that she never wanted to see Zhuge Song again, and the marriage contract between him and her was null and void, so let him go back to Nanjun and live with his wife.
Zhuge Song didn't know if this was Shana's original intention, but before leaving, Zhuge Song saw Shana and his brother go out of the city to see each other off, Shana saw Zhuge Song looking at her, her expression was not cold, but nodded at him slightly, and she didn't look at him.
It was only at this time that Zhuge Song was really convinced that what she had asked her brother to say to her before was true.
