Chapter 187: The Far West

(On the last day of June in the Gregorian calendar, there are four days left in the lunar year of the monkey, ask for a monthly ticket and a subscription, don't wait for the next month of the monkey.) )

Jin Truiduo's Xiongnu language is not enough to deal with all the conversations, and once he deviates from the established content of the peace talks and starts chatting casually, Jin Truiduo's translation is even more clumsy.

Fang Daye's Xiongnu language is even better than her, he has been in the army in the frontier for decades, fought with the Huns during the war, and also had contacts with the Huns in peacetime, and even made friends.

Da Shan Yu first mentioned the past, he asked the old general if he had participated in the famous battle of Mayi City decades ago, Fang Daye nodded, it was the early war of Emperor Wu, that is, after that battle, Da Chu turned from defense to attack, and won successive battles, and finally forced the Huns to split into east and west.

In that battle, the two sides had many soldiers and horses, and they were not convinced by each other, the battle lasted for half a month, the battlefield gradually extended to the open land in the north, the Huns wanted to introduce the Chu army into a place more conducive to cavalry combat, the Chu army was vigorous, and really followed into the grassland.

The two sides were sharp, and in the end, the forbidden army was superior, and the Huns lost convincingly.

Da Dan Yu was still a prince at that time, and Fang Daye was just an ordinary colonel, with fifty soldiers under his command, none of whom played an important role in the war, but looking back on his career as a horseman, they were most impressed by that battle.

"General Deng Liao used his troops like a god, he said where to go, we will chase desperately, after a period of time, we can always bump into the fleeing Huns, that is the first time I made meritorious service on the battlefield......"

"The Huns did not run away, lured the enemy to chase after them, and turned around to fight again when the enemy was tired, this is our consistent way of playing."

"The general saw through your trick and followed suit, not giving you a chance to turn around at all."

The two talked and quarreled in Xiongnu. There was a table in the tent, on which were placed some cups, pots and dishes, and the two of them planned a map on it to reproduce the battlefield of that year, one proved that the Chu army had won a complete victory, and the other wanted to show that the Huns had many survivors and were not a fiasco.

Jin Chuiduo couldn't say a word, so he could only look at the "General Zhenbei" opposite.

"He doesn't understand us?"

Jin Zhuoduo nodded with a cold face.

"My name is Zhang Youcai, and I am Tihou's personal entourage." Zhang Youcai said with a smile, "We actually met, when we went north together, I was in the army, Miss Jin usually doesn't show up much, once I went to send ......"

"I remember you." Jin Tripo said.

"Miss Kim's two older brothers are okay? The two countries are at war, and the Tired Marquis cannot take special care of them. ”

"Well, they're good."

"What about dragonflies? I see her a little more. ”

"She's also very nice, we've been separated for a while...... I guess we'd better stop talking. ”

Zhang Youcai closed his mouth and occasionally smiled at Jin Chuiduo.

"Bring the wine!" Da Shan Yu shouted, not angry at all, but very excited.

Somehow, the two old men went from arguing to complaining to each other.

Jin Chuiduo came out of the tent, Zhang Youcai almost got up and went out, suddenly remembered that he was the general of Zhenbei, sat down in time, Fang Daye walked to the door of the tent, and shouted at the soldiers of the Chu army: "Bring wine, let the Huns taste the spirits of Chudi!" ”

The soldiers outside the fortress usually carry wine with them, and when the thirst is quenched to drink, the two soldiers sent a few bags of wine, and Da Shan Yu and Fang Daye talked while drinking, becoming more and more speculative, completely forgetting Jin Chuiduo and the "Zhenbei General".

Zhang Youcai finally sensed that something was wrong, "Da Dan Yu ...... Do you recognize my identity? ”

Jin Chuduo can only come to the same conclusion, since the real Zhenbei General left, Da Shan Yu has never mentioned the matter of peace talks again, and the thought that his betrayal has been seen through, Jin Chuiduo blushed.

Da Shan Yu turned his head and said a few words to Jin Chuiduo, and then drank with Fang Daye.

"What did he say?" Zhang Youcai asked.

"Old General Fang may have chased and killed Da Shan Yu on the battlefield back then."

"And he's so happy?" Zhang Youcai is difficult to understand.

Jin Chuiduo couldn't understand it, she had heard of the matter of meeting and laughing, but the Huns and the Chu army were facing off, and they were far from "enmity".

After each drank half a bag of wine, the conversation between the two old men was not so energetic, Da Shan Yu was talking seriously, Fang Daye listened, and nodded from time to time.

"What did Da Shan Yu say?" Zhang Youcai asked.

He said...... I don't understand it either, so I'll talk about it when he comes back. The two "hes" in Kim's words refer to different people.

After Da Shan Yu finished speaking, he began to drink and chat with Fang Daye again.

Time passed little by little, Zhang Youcai was sure that he had been seen through, but he didn't know what to do, he could only hope that the master would come back soon, but the Jin Chuiduo on the opposite side was calmer than him, and stood there silently.

When a Hun guard came in to report that a Chu soldier had returned, Zhang Youcai almost jumped up and cheered.

Han Ruzi walked into the tent, with no armor on his body and no helmet on his head, like a survivor who escaped after being killed, Zhang Youcai stood up quickly, finally controlled his mouth, and didn't ask more.

Da Shan Yu stood up with difficulty, walked slowly, and said a few words to this "little soldier" of the Chu army, Jin Chuiduo's face turned even redder, and translated: "Da Shan Yu said, it seems that everything is going well with you, let's talk about it here today, he is very happy, and thinks that he can continue to talk in the future." ”

Han Ruzi was stunned, "Did he recognize me?" ”

"I probably recognized it a long time ago, I said, Da Dan depends on people, not obedient."

Han Ruzi bowed slightly, "Please apologize to Da Shan Yu on my behalf." ”

Jin Chuiduo said a word, Da Shan Yu replied with a smile, nodded to Han Ruzi, walked out of the tent, Jin Tuiduo said: "It is not easy for the Xiongnu and the Chu people to establish mutual trust, there must be one party to show goodwill first, and Da Dan Yu is willing to start with him." ”

Jin Chuido also walked out of the tent, feeling guilty.

Fang Daye stepped forward and said: "Da Shan Yu told me something, General Zhenbei plans to listen to it now, or go back to the camp to talk about it?" ”

"Back to camp." Han Ruzi was a little confused about what was happening here, but he had to solve the problem of the Chu army first.

When he returned to the south bank, it was already dark, Han Ruzi spent most of the day on the road, and there was no moment of peace in his heart, he successfully calmed down the chaos, but this success was shaky and could collapse at any time, and he had no way to prevent it in advance.

Chai Yue gave him a surprise.

General Zhenbei's entrustment, as well as the death of his half-brother Chai Zhi, finally made Chai Yue make up his mind, he understood that no matter what the facts were, in the eyes of the Chai family, Chai Yue was already a complete traitor, standing on the side of the Chai family's enemies, and he had no other way to go except to follow General Zhenbei.

Most of the more than 80,000 Chu troops were left on the front line by him, and without the Great Sima Yin, Chai Yue personally went to the battalions to give orders.

The more than 20,000 northern troops who guarded before had already been impressed by him, and they helped Chai Yue the most, and under the influence of his comrades, the newly arrived 50,000 northern troops also accepted the young general, temporarily forgetting the chaos and death in front of the Chinese army's tent.

General Zhenbei returned safely, and there was no need to fight the battle, Chai Yue still did it himself, arranging for the army to be stationed or return to the camp, and he was so busy that he only had time to say hello to General Zhenbei from afar.

Han Ruzi needed such a general, and he didn't return to the city, so he set up a tent on the site of Quicksand City and connected with the soldiers guarding the forward line.

There are a lot of things that need to be solved by him, the first thing is to appoint a new army leader, he can't arrange his cronies in the northern army at will, send people to ask the lieutenant of the northern army in the city for advice, Liu Kunsheng, Han Tong, Feng Shili three immediately rode horses, after a humble, they recommended a veteran of the northern army to temporarily lead the military to the position, waiting for the approval of the imperial court.

The new army, together with the three generals, is interrogating Zhang Yanghao and others overnight to find out what is really going on in the chaos of the Chinese army's account, which is an extremely arduous task, which must not only convince the officers and men, but also not implicate too widely, for Liu Kunsheng, this is easier than arranging troops.

It was the second half of the night when everything was arranged, and Han Ruzi couldn't sleep, so he invited Fang Daye and asked him what Da Shan Yu said.

Fang Daye, who recounted the memories of the war, relayed an unbelievable thing, which led to the return of the Western Huns to the east, and hoped to negotiate peace with Dachu.

The West is not a wilderness, there are many countries and people, the West Huns occupy a fertile pasture, as a foundation, to the four directions, especially in the south, the western countries, the Hun cavalry penetrated thousands of miles, has defeated dozens of countries, forced the countries to pay tribute, life is quite good, has no intention of returning to the east and the Chu army to compete for power.

About ten years ago, a group of slaves in a small country rebelled, and the Huns did not take it seriously and only sent a small number of cavalry to help suppress it, but to everyone's surprise, the slaves won and killed all the Hun cavalry and the princes and nobles of the country.

The victorious slaves expanded to their neighbors, winning one after another, but Da Shan Yu did not pay attention to it in time, and the previous victories came so easily that the Huns generally despised the Western countries, let alone a group of nameless slaves.

But these slaves, attacking cities and plundering land, their power expanded rapidly, they did not only demand tribute like the Huns, but directly occupied the city, from the princes to the common people, there were only two choices: either to join the army, or to accept slavery.

Almost all countries opt for the former.

The strangest thing is that this group of slaves called themselves the Huns, supposedly descendants of the Huns who migrated west earlier, and their language was indeed very similar to the Huns.

At first, these slaves were very polite to the Huns in the north, and were willing to serve the Huns as their suzerain, send back the dead Hun cavalry, and also compensate a large amount of gold and silver.

Da Dan Yu accepted the gold and silver—which he regretted to this day—and watched the war in the surrounding countries coldly, intending to choose the most opportune time to exterminate the slaves in one fell swoop, which made him regret it even more.

In just five years, the slave armies conquered most of the countries and began to challenge the suzerain, but they were no longer just slave armies, nor were they small states, but a huge army with cavalry, infantry, chariots, and other branches of the army.

The Western Huns faced the battle, losing three games in a row, and finally understood that the enemy they faced was no longer the weak and small country they once were.

Da Dan Yu led the people to move eastward, as long as they stopped, the enemy would track them, and it took another five years for the Western Huns to return to their hometown, bordering Dachu, and subduing the Eastern Xiongnu by the way.

The whole process is indeed incredible, Han Ruzi is hard to believe, but Fang Daye tends to think that Da Shan Yu is telling the truth, "That group of slaves claimed to be the descendants of the Huns, and their leader was known as 'Da Shan Yu who was respected by all beings and worshiped by all kings by gods and ghosts', and everyone called him 'God and Ghost Shan Yu'." ”

It turned out that the so-called "haunting" of the West was like this, and Han Ruzi felt the need to see Da Shan Yu again, what he cared about was not the threat from the West, but the current situation. (To be continued.) )
