The king of the East China Sea silently prayed that the gods and ghosts Da Dan Yu would refuse the peace talks, but the progress of the situation was not satisfactory, and the two sides communicated back and forth for several days, and the enemy actually agreed to meet with the envoy of Da Chu. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The king of the East Sea had no choice but to start thinking about how to deliver the message, which was not an easy task, first of all, the language was not comprehensible, and it took three interpreters to work together so that the two sides could understand each other.

Before leaving, the king of the East China Sea asked Zhao Ruosu: "Do you have a plan?" ”

Zhao Ruosu sighed heavily, "Let's act when the opportunity arises." ”

This is the same as not saying this, the king of the East China Sea had to think of his own idea, just sat on the horse, Cui Teng hurriedly ran out, and said to the king of the East China Sea: "Your Majesty said that he will not see him off, I wish you a smooth journey, it doesn't matter if you can come back or not, the key is to complete the task assigned by Your Majesty." ”

"Is this what His Majesty said?" The King of the East Sea looked annoyed.

Cui Teng said with a smile: "Your Majesty said that he would not see him off, and I said the other things, I really envy you and have the opportunity to be loyal to Your Majesty." ”

"Then come with me." The King of the East Sea said coldly.

Cui Teng shook his head again and again, "Hehe, I am not as good as you, my status is not as high as yours, my eloquence is not as good as yours, and my luck is not as good as yours, so I won't go with you to make trouble." Remember, it's important to get the mission done, and even if you can't startle the enemy, try to delay for a few more days so that you can gather enough troops. ”

The King of the East China Sea slapped his horse and left, and Cui Teng said loudly behind him: "King of the East China Sea, Da Chu needs a loyal minister like you!" ”

A team of more than ten people galloped out of Hangu Pass, escorted by generals from all over the country, passing through one barrier after another, and every time they passed the East China Sea King, they thought, how long can this pass last? The guards are still alive now, and they will be lying in the snow in a short time, do these people know in their hearts? Aren't you afraid?

The King of the East Sea almost asked.

That night, the group stayed in a small military camp, the king of the East China Sea invited Zhao Ruosu to dine together, drank a few glasses of hot wine to ward off the cold, the king of the East China Sea asked: "When you set off this morning, why did you sigh?" ”

Zhao Ruosu doesn't like to talk very much, and the king of the East China Sea smiled: "You are 'sin on crime', I am 'nine deaths and one life', what else can't you say or dare not say?" ”

Zhao Ruosu finally spoke, "I sigh that Your Majesty still likes to use strange tricks and false tricks, hoping to frighten the enemy with two pieces of news that are both true and false. ”

The King of the East Sea slapped his thigh, "Yes, I also think this trick will not work." ”

Zhao Ruosu squinted at the East China Sea King, "You don't believe this trick is useful?" ”

"Huh? Don't you mean that? ”

Zhao Ruosu shook his head, "I only said that this is a strange trick and a false move, but I didn't say that it won't work, on the contrary, I think this move is likely to anger the enemy chieftain, as long as the Chu army can block the initial anger, these two pieces of news will be effective, causing the morale of the enemy army to drop greatly, and even split." ”

"And you still sigh?"

"I sigh that after this enrollment effect, Your Majesty likes to use wonder and void more, which is definitely not the art of the emperor and the blessing of Great Chu."

The king of the East China Sea blinked, he was the opposite of Zhao Ruosu, thinking that any trick could be used at this time, but he was worried that this trick would be useless.

"Why did Your Majesty send you with you?" The king of the East China Sea asked suspiciously, he was the emperor's younger brother and the great Sima of the Su Guard, at least on the surface, his status was extremely respectful, but Zhao Ruosu was an idler who didn't even have a position.

"There must be one among the messengers who is not afraid of death." Zhao Ruosu said flatly.

The king of the East China Sea was stunned for a while, drank all the wine in the cup, found that the wine was already cold, and muttered: "Your Majesty's methods are really getting more and more ruthless, I finally understand why Your Majesty is often tolerant of those who offend, and it is clear that he wants to make the best use of everything, so that we can be loyal to death." ”

Zhao Ruosu nodded and praised: "This is the real emperor's technique, if Your Majesty insists on governing the country with this, the world will be peaceful." ”

Both of them recognized the same facts, but their attitudes were diametrically opposed, and the king of the East Sea laughed heavily, not wanting to argue about who was right and who was wrong.

The next morning, the envoy and his party sped up. The weather was cold, and the king of the East China Sea was so cold that he burst into tears, but he still noticed one thing, "The Chu army is hoarding ice, which is a way to stop the enemy in winter." ”

Zhao Ruosu snorted, and only said after a while: "The enemy's refusal to launch an attack must be well prepared, how long can the ice block it?" ”

The king of the East China Sea stopped squeaking, and wondered in his heart, how could the emperor appreciate such a strange person, and he was against him everywhere, and he was willing to speak to himself once.

After three days, the Chu army could no longer escort, and from here, the king of the East China Sea and his party were led by enemy troops.

"It's such a short distance." The King of the East Sea muttered to himself, a little panicked in his heart.

The first enemy army was the Huns, and then they kept changing, and the enemy soldiers were dressed in all kinds of clothes, and the further back they went, the more gorgeous they became, and some people's armor was studded with precious stones, and the sun was shining, and it was dizzying.

The envoy bypassed the capital and continued to go north, the king of the East China Sea glanced at it from a distance, the capital was still standing, but the city wall was damaged, and there were many scars and burn marks, which was shocking.

"The capital won't last long." The King of the East China Sea said even more quietly and glanced at Zhao Ruosu.

Since entering the range of the enemy, Zhao Ruosu does not like to talk, but his waist has become more and more straight, even if he runs on a horse all day, he never bends down to show fatigue.

The King of the East Sea also stood up.

The Chu envoy was sent to a huge military camp more than 100 miles north of Beijing, and the king of the East China Sea was shocked in his heart, there were too many enemy troops, and the camps were one after another, and the horses had to run for several days and nights.

The Chu envoy was not immediately received, but was sent to a tent, where several nobles in fancy clothes came, and with the help of an interpreter, they conveyed to them the rules of meeting the "Son of Heaven":

When kneeling, put your hands on the ground, rush your palms up, kiss the ground three times, and then touch the ground with your forehead, and do not raise your head without permission.

Ask and answer whatever you want, and don't open your mouth without permission.

Every time he answers a question, he must call himself "the co-master of the world" and call himself "a slave of fear".

First of all, you have to take a bath and change clothes, only drink water and do not eat within a day, and only after there is no peculiar smell on your body can you meet the "Son of Heaven".

……

There were many rules for the enemy chieftain, and after he finished speaking, he took out a roll of paper, on which each rule was clearly listed in three languages, including the Chu language.

The nobleman withdrew, and the king of the East China Sea took the paper and said to Zhao Ruosu: "If we do it all, we will not have the face to go back to see Your Majesty." ”

"Let's take one step at a time."

Zhao Ruosu was assigned to another tent and turned around to leave, when the King of the East China Sea stepped forward to stop, "Zhao Ruosu, what do you want to do, tell me in advance, it's all here, I can't have any other thoughts, to die Mingzhi?" Yes, I can do it, just be prepared. ”

Zhao Ruosu stared at the East China Sea King for a while, and spit out a few words: "Then prepare." ”

The king of the East China Sea really wanted to kick it hard, but he barely held it back, and replied: "Okay, go to see the enemy chieftain, but don't kneel?" ”

Zhao Ruosu nodded, "Don't kneel." ”

Zhao Ruosu left, and the king of the East China Sea was empty, trying not to think about anything.

Soon several servants brought a large bucket for the guests to bathe.

Taking a hot bath in the cold winter should be a very comfortable thing, but the king of the East China Sea can't get rid of a thought: this is not a bath, but a cleaning similar to washing clothes, changing the water several times, each time adding different spices, some of which are quite pungent and gradually become fragrant.

The bath lasted for more than half a day, and he did not give any food except drinking water, and the king of the East China Sea was tired and hungry, and was about to collapse, but he could not sleep while lying on the bed, tossing and turning, thinking to himself, he and the princess were not yet a man and a woman, and it was really a failure.

After noon the next day, the king of the East China Sea was called out, rode in a soft sedan chair with a strange style, and went to meet the gods and ghosts.

"What about the others?" The king of the East China Sea asked, he was the only one in the sedan chair, and Zhao Ruosu and the others were nowhere to be seen.

The interpreter was not there, and the escort walked forward with his head bowed and did not say a word.

The East China Sea King's face changed slightly, no matter what, Zhao Ruosu was a kind of supervision and a spur, he was not there, and the East China Sea King was even more bottomless in his heart.

"Death is a clear will." The King of the East Sea whispered.

Almost an hour later, the king of the East China Sea was already shivering from the cold, and the sedan chair finally stopped in front of a huge tent, and several servants stepped forward to carry the guests down from the sedan chair and send another small sedan chair, this time the journey was relatively short, and they were carried directly into the tent.

The tent was more than one person high, and the curtains were heavy, all of which were in charge of the nobles in gorgeous clothes, and the king of the East China Sea got off the sedan chair, stepped on the soft carpet, and walked forward step by step, his stomach was empty, his legs were weak, and his heart was weak, but he could still stand upright.

At least thirty people turned their heads to look at the guests at the same time, including richly dressed men and veiled women who were not shy.

The king of the East China Sea was ready to fight, his gaze swept over, and soon fell on a middle-aged man, among a group of aliens with high noses and deep eyes, this person was more like a Chu or Xiongnu, no one approached by him, and his status should be the highest.

The king of the East China Sea was about to speak, when he suddenly woke up, this person was not a god and ghost, and this room was not even the main hall, but the front room waiting to be summoned.

The King of the East Sea found himself nervous, coughed, squeezed a smile on his face, and said loudly, "Does anyone speak Chu?" ”

The middle-aged man walked over, and the others gave way.

"I'll say a few words." The man said stiffly.

"What do you call Your Excellency?"

"I am the cousin of the Son of Heaven, you should call me 'Your Highness'."

"I am the younger brother of the Great Chu Tianzi, and you should also call me 'Your Highness'."

The man smiled, "Sure enough, I'm here to die." ”

The man's contempt made the king of the East China Sea lose his fear, and Zhengse said: "I'm here to send a letter to negotiate, and the Great Chu Tianzi has something to say to the gods and ghosts." ”

The man's face changed, "Pay attention to your words, send the dead, there are many ways to die, do you want to try them one by one?" ”

Some words should have been said when he saw the gods and ghosts Da Shan Yu, but the king of the East China Sea couldn't help it, worried that the fighting spirit and sharpness in his heart would be news after a while, so he said loudly: "I only know one way to die, that is, die unyieldingly, please tell the gods and ghosts Da Shan Yu, the Great Chu Heavenly Son made a condition: If you withdraw from Chu immediately, Da Chu will recall the two Chu armies that have invaded your country." ”

"Two?"

"One set out from Tiger City in the Western Regions, and the other attacked by sea a year ago, and at this time it has already landed." The East Sea King tried to act as confident as possible.

The man laughed and said a few words in another language, and all the people in the tent burst into laughter.

The East Sea King's heart tightened, these two pieces of news were obviously not an accident to the enemy. (To be continued.) )
