How did Deng Cui kidnap the concubine of the king of the Huns? No one knows, although the Huns claimed that it was a violent abduction, but the king of the East China Sea felt that the concubine was voluntary, Deng Cui's figure and appearance were first-class, and he could speak well, and on the first day he arrived at the Xiongnu camp, he attracted the attention of everyone around the Hun king. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But no one could have imagined that he would dare to do such a thing, the Huns could not think of it, and the king of the East China Sea could not imagine it, and he almost died because of it.

The Xiongnu woman was good at riding, put on the clothes of ordinary soldiers, and Deng Cui and four retinues, with more than 20 horses, left the camp shortly after the end of the banquet that night, and was not found until the early morning of the next day, the people had long been gone, the Hun king sent more than a dozen chasing soldiers, until the king of the East China Sea left the camp, still did not find a clue.

"Deng Cui didn't even give me a hint!" The king of the East China Sea palpitated, and his voice was still trembling, "Just run away, he wants to kill me, he deliberately wants to kill me!" ”

Cui Teng couldn't help it, stroked his palms and laughed, "What a Deng Cui, while escaping, he didn't forget to use the hands of the Huns to punish traitors for His Majesty, and when we meet next, I must give him three glasses." ”

The king of the East China Sea did not dare to stand up, knelt on the ground and said angrily: "I am not a traitor! Then he turned to the emperor and put on a serious face, "Although the plan to explore the path failed, I did not make this trip in vain, and asked for a lot of important news. ”

The King of the East Sea hid behind the seriousness and carefully observed, hoping to see a little emotion from the emperor's quiet face, but he was disappointed, the emperor was neither angry nor happy, as if he didn't care about the existence of the king of the East China Sea at all.

Han Ruzi is thinking about Deng Cui, so far, he has tried his best to send out a lot of people, most of them have not been heard, Zhuo Ruhe, who had high hopes, has been arrested, although there is a Biyuan Marquis Zhang Yin in charge, but it is a veteran who will not fall into the trap of the Huns, but it is estimated that he can't think of a strange plan to save the emperor, as for the Chu army in the south, the number is small, and it is also restrained by the Linzi rebels, and it can't be counted on, Deng Cui suddenly became the greatest hope of Jincheng and the emperor.

But Deng Cui acted perversely, using improvisation as a guideline, the enemy could not predict it, and his own people could not guess what he would do next.

Han Ruzi sighed secretly in his heart, he still had to think of more ways to protect himself, and his eyes finally fixed on the face of the King of the East China Sea, "What important news did you hear?" ”

The King of the East China Sea relaxed a little, and was about to open his mouth to answer, when Cui Teng said, "Wait." Your Majesty, let him tell me how he got the news. It's a bit strange that the Huns just let him back......"

"What's weird? The king of the Huns didn't know my true identity at all, and thought I was an ordinary noble. "The king of the East China Sea was really afraid that he would die at the mouth of Cui Teng, and after justifying himself, he still talked about the source first, "There is an interpreter by the side of the king of the Huns, who used to be a Chu person, and I spent a lot of time trying to please him, and I got the news from him. ”

Han Ruzi raised his hand and motioned for the King of the East China Sea to speak.

The King of the East China Sea was already ready, "According to the interpreter, plus my guess, the reason why Da Shan Yu sent people to talk is actually ulterior motives. ”

"You'd better guess less." Cui Teng just refused to let go of the King of the East China Sea.

The king of the East China Sea glanced at him angrily and continued: "The Linzi rebels colluded with the Huns and could not hold out, hoping to get the support of the Huns, but the north was not peaceful, and Da Danyu was unwilling to divide his troops to the south, so he only sent 10,000 cavalry to Linzi. ”

"The Huns were defeated?" Han Ruzi asked, he still had a lot of confidence in Chai Yue.

"I don't dare to lie to Your Majesty, it's a matter of the face of the Huns, and the interpreter refuses to reveal the true situation, but I guess-" The King of the East China Sea glared at Cui Teng again, "The 10,000 cavalry must not be making good progress, and the Linzi rebels have not been able to break out of the encirclement, so Da Dan Yu urgently needs a truce so that he can free up his hands to solve the war in the south." ”

Han Ruzi thought for a while, "No, if the war is stopped now, the Chu army in Mayi City will not enter the pass, and the ambush plan of the main force of the Xiongnu will be affected, and for the Huns, the north is more important than the south." Moreover, it is also easy to disrupt the deployment of the Chu army of Qi State, and it is more effective to break through Jincheng than to negotiate peace. ”

"Uh...... Anyway, that's what I heard, and the most important reason for Da Dan Yu to ask for peace talks is not in Mayi City, but in Linzi. "The King of the East Sea is also a little confused.

Cui Teng lowered his voice, but let the King of the East China Sea hear, "How do I think this is the news that the Huns deliberately leaked?" ”

The King of the East China Sea could compete with Cui Teng before, but now he can only glare angrily.

Han Ruzi didn't answer Cui Teng's words, and asked the king of the East China Sea: "If you accept the peace talks, you may be able to win the treacherous tricks of Da Shan Yu, and it will also anger the right sage king outside the city, so I should refuse the peace talks and drive the envoy out of the city?" ”

The tears on the face of the King of the East Sea had dried, and then he smiled, took the opportunity to get up, and walked a few steps closer to the emperor, until the guards and eunuchs showed a warning look, he stopped and said, "I have a clever plan. ”

"A clever plan for whom? Your Majesty or the Huns? Cui Teng asked.

The king of the East China Sea ignored Cui Teng this time, he had lost most of the emperor's trust, and he had to win it back as soon as possible and as much as possible, "Accept peace talks, but don't stop fighting." ”

"Huh?"

"The purpose of Da Shan Yu is to let His Majesty issue a temporary truce, and the peace talks are just an excuse, our best way is to use this excuse to buy a little time, but never issue a truce."

"How many days can this drag?" Cui Teng asked disdainfully.

"It has to be delayed for a day, and then find a way to find out what happened in the Qi State, so that Da Danyu is so nervous, would rather temporarily give up the plan to lure the Chu army in Mayi City, and make peace with His Majesty?"

"There's no reason at all, it's all your guess."

The king of the East China Sea forced himself not to look at Cui Teng, only to stare at the emperor, many things were indeed guessed by him, guessed correctly, he could make a contribution in front of the emperor, he couldn't guess - he didn't dare to think about it.

"Spread the Xiongnu envoy Jin Chunzhong." Han Ruzi ordered, and a eunuch was ordered to retreat.

The King of the East China Sea and Cui Teng both looked at the emperor, but Han Ruzi just refused to express his position.

The King of the East Sea said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, can I go and change my clothes?" The Huns' stuff stinks to death. ”

"Go ahead."

The king of the East China Sea thanked him and hurriedly ran out, Cui Teng saw him disappear, and hurried up and said: "Your Majesty, Hua Bin's task is to assassinate them, and the king of the East China Sea may have received the same task, so you must be careful and just lock him up with Hua Bin." ”

"Beware, but don't detain them yet." Han Ruzi turned his head to look at Cui Teng, "This matter will be handed over to you, and in the future, you will keep an eye on the King of the East China Sea and watch out for me." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Cui Teng happily received the order, and he was about to leave.

"Why are you going?"

"Keep an eye on the King of the East Sea."

"It doesn't take any moment."

"Oh." Cui Teng was a little disappointed.

The king of the East China Sea guessed that when he was not there, Cui Teng would slander, so he came back quickly and changed into his former clothes, but his face was still sweaty and he didn't have time to wash it.

It didn't take long for Jin Chunzhong to arrive.

"I have decided to accept peace talks."

As soon as these words came out, Jin Chunzhong kowtowed, and the king of the East China Sea breathed a sigh of relief, but Cui Teng frowned, thinking that the emperor was persuaded by the king of the East China Sea.

Han Ruzi had actually made this decision a long time ago, and now he didn't have much choice, and the various speculations of the East China Sea King were just a little reference for him, "You can go out of the city early tomorrow morning and go back to tell Da Shan Yu: I have sent the second envoy to Da Shan Yu, Da Shan Yu should have met, and the meeting between me and Da Shan Yu will also be agreed upon by them as appropriate." ”

"When will Your Majesty decree an armistice? This is something that Da Shan Yu is particularly concerned about. "Kim Chun-chung must first complete his own mission.

"Next time, you will bring an envoy from Great Chu to Jincheng to discuss the truce together."

"Yes." Jin Chunzhong kowtowed again and said: "Weichen was originally a Chu person, living outside the fortress, and had to act as a Xiongnu envoy, Weichen would rather stay in the city to serve His Majesty." ”

Jin Chunzhong has expressed this intention many times, but Han Ruzi can't accept it at this time, "The time has not yet come, no matter what, you are now a Xiongnu envoy, it is a matter of the national body, and I can't keep you." ”

Jin Chunzhong had to kowtow again and get up to leave.

Early the next morning, the Xiongnu envoy left, and the Xiongnu Youxian King learned that the Great Chu Emperor was not sick at all, and understood that he had been deceived, so he was even more angry, and sent troops to challenge all day, but there was a strict order of Da Dan Yu, and he did not dare to attack the city directly.

The defenders of the city did not dare to be careless, Fan Bangshan lived on the city wall, did not even leave to sleep, and woke up at any time, for fear of being caught off guard.

Han Ruzi also visited the city several times, and had a premonition that the Xiongnu Right Xian King might try his best to attack the city in the few days when the envoy was gone.

Only one day later, his hunch came true.

The Huns did not attack the city directly, but instead put a support army into the city.

In the afternoon, the smoke and dust were billowing in the southwest, a Chu army was struggling to kill Jincheng, although the Huns were also intercepting, but they were not too careful, and the number was small, and the Chu army was getting closer and closer to the city.

Fan Bangshan was worried that this was a trick of the Huns, so he ordered the city gate to be strictly guarded and not allowed to be opened, but after seeing the banner of the Chu army outside the city, he was taken aback and immediately sent someone to inform the emperor.

This Chu army numbered in the thousands, and some of them resembled the personal troops of the Tired Marquis who had been incorporated into the Su Guard.

Han Ruzi immediately went to the city to check, at this time the reinforcements were only a few miles away from Jincheng, and Han Ruzi could even recognize some soldiers, which was indeed his original ministry, and the leader was Chao Hua, as well as the eunuch Cai Xinghai.

He immediately ordered the door to be opened to greet him, which was different from the previous support situation, and King Youxian would make an excuse to attack the city anyway, and it was better to welcome the city into the city than to sacrifice this support army in vain.

The city gate opened, Fan Bangshan personally led the troops out of the city to meet the reinforcements, and the right Xianwang was waiting for this moment, and the Huns from all directions immediately acted and followed the reinforcements.

Before fighting with Da Dan Yu, Han Ruzi had to fight bravely with the Xiongnu besieging the city, and if he couldn't hold on to this battle, everything would be impossible to talk about. (To be continued.) )
