The Great Tent of the Huns Army. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xu Bugu sat in the first seat with a gloomy face, and just now, he folded several generals in a row, including his henchmen.

Looking at the few remaining generals in the camp, Xu Bugu slowly spoke, and said: "Now that the morale is low, and the generals have been damaged, I am afraid that this Jinyang City will not be able to continue to fight, and I received a report just now that the food in the camp is only enough for half a day's food, even if it is one meal a day, it is only enough for one day's rations." ”

As soon as these words came out, the generals below couldn't sit still, and one of the generals said: "Shan Yu, the other three gates have not been raided, and they should still have a lot of food, which can be temporarily eaten by the army." ”

"Yes, fortunately, the day before yesterday just distributed the grain and grass, wait, I have already sent someone to count." Su Bugu waved his hand weakly.

"Shan Yu." This is another person from outside, who said: "I sent someone to calculate the remaining grain of the whole army, and the remaining grain and grass can probably last the whole army for two days." ”

"One day? This ......" Several generals in the tent looked at each other with panicked expressions.

From here to their tribe, there was also a recent five-day journey.

It was not impossible to go through a five-day journey of starvation, but the horse had no fodder, but it had to lose a lot of fat, and even starved to death.

Thinking that after returning to the tribe, the horses were not thin, and the faces of several generals gradually became difficult to look.

Their war horses are of great use, and such losses are too great for them to afford.

At this time, it is already March, and in a few days the grass is fat and tender, which is a good season for grazing horses and sheep, if the war horses lose weight again, then the tribe will starve.

At this time, a general said: "Shan Yu, it is better to increase the reward and encourage the warriors to break through Jinyang, the grain and grass in Jinyang City are enough for our army." ”

"No, we only have one day's food and grass left, if we can't break the city in one day, then what will our tens of thousands of warriors eat!"

"What are you afraid of, we will gather all our forces to storm one gate and break through the city gate in one day."

……

"Don't make any noise!" Seeing the constant quarrel between the generals below, Su Bugu decisively stopped a few people, and then looked at a general in the tent who had not spoken and said, "Arut, do you have any good ideas?" ”

Hearing Shan Yu speak, several generals who were arguing stopped talking and looked at Arut, hoping that he could solve the problem in front of him.

Arut was one of the few scholars on the steppe, and he had studied with the Han Chinese for several years.

Arut is in his forties, dressed in a brocade robe, dressed as a nobleman, and does not smile, like a teacher in a school, but a pair of eyes flashes from time to time with coldness, which destroys the overall image.

He thought for a moment and smiled coldly: "Shan Yu, in fact, we can mobilize troops and horses now and attack from all sides. ”

Subugu asked in surprise, "Now?" ”

"Yes, the food will definitely not be hidden if it is burned, it is better to tell the whole army now, there is a large amount of grain in Jinyang City, and as long as the city is broken at that time, the items grabbed do not need to be handed over."

Su Bugu was obviously worried that he would not be able to break the city, and then asked, "What if the city cannot be broken?" ”

"Hmph, you can't break the city, you can just use less waste to distribute food."

"Hiss......"

In the tent, everyone was stunned by Arut's ruthless words, and the two closest to him subconsciously distanced themselves from him.

"No, I can't play with the lives of the tribal warriors." Several generals who led the troops glared at him angrily and retorted one after another.

"Arut, is there anything else you can do?" Apparently he did not approve of this either, and as the leader of a race, he had to lead his race not only to prosperity, but also to protect the lives of his people.

Arut also knew the character of Su Bugu, he was not an unscrupulous hero, and said: "Since Shan Yu does not agree to the attack, then we can still buy grain from the Han people." ”

Subu asked, "Oh? Arut, where are we going to buy food...... Isn't it possible to buy it from the Han army in Jinyang? ”

"That's right, it's to buy food from the Han army."

Su Bugu frowned, thought for a while and said, "But will they sell it?" We have been besieging Jinyang City, and now we are on the same page. ”

"Of course not now...... But what if we withdraw our troops and pay some reparations? Arut said softly.

"This ...... You mean, you want us to surrender? Subgu's voice was a little cold, staring at Arut.

"No! We must not surrender. ”

There were people in the tent who objected, and some people who were clearly moved, but their hearts were still struggling.

"No, it's not surrender, it's peace, we will compensate them at most some money, and then return to the grassland."

Xu Bugu thought about it, this seemed to be the best way now, the villages and towns on the road to the grassland had been looted, and there was no way to get food supplements, so they could only buy more food.

"In that case, then this matter will be handled by you Arut, and it is best to buy more grain and grass."

The words are divided into two ends.

At this moment, in Jinyang City, Zhang Zai was discussing the next action plan with Xue Rengui.

"Rengui, do you think the Huns will retreat, will they fight to the death?" Zhang Zai was a little worried, afraid that the Xiongnu would counterattack, and desperately attacked the city.

These days, the fire oil in the city is basically exhausted, and the arrows are constantly rushing, but there is not much that can be used.

"Lord, the Huns don't have much grain and grass left, and it is estimated that they are more likely to retreat." Xue Rengui was relieved: "Even if they forcibly attack the city, it will only increase casualties, as long as they hold out for a day and there is no food, they will be self-defeating at that time." ”

"That's true, but we can't relax yet, and we need to be prepared to prevent them from jumping off the wall." Zhang Zai rubbed his head, in the past few days, he has been constantly arranging the defense of various places, dealing with logistics matters, and dealing with the Hun army, and he is busy and dizzy.

At this time, a sergeant suddenly came in, saw Zhang Zai, and said: "Captain Zhang, there is a Xiongnu envoy outside the city who asks to see you." ”

"What does he mean by him?" Zhang Zai and Xue Rengui glanced at each other and asked.

"The man only said that he had important matters to discuss, and asked him what was going on, but he would not say."

"Ask him to come in."

Zhang Zai and the others couldn't figure out the meaning of the Huns, and met the envoy of the Huns with questions in their heads.

Arut came in with a servant, and when he saw Zhang Zai and the others, he was also taken aback, he didn't expect that the generals who resisted his Hun army were actually two young men.

"In Lower Arut, we represent each other as Huns Shan Yu, and we have important matters to discuss with adults." Arut didn't despise them because of their age, stepped forward, and saluted respectfully.

"I wonder why the messenger came?" In his previous life, he was also an elite figure in the mall, and he had experienced many negotiations, which was completely unworthy for him.

"This general, under the orders of Shan Yu, came to negotiate peace." Arut lowered his identity very low, said politely, and then walked in front of the little guy.

"These gold, silver and jewelry of the general are a little bit of the heart of my family, and I hope the general will accept it with a smile." As he spoke, Arut tore off the red cloth, and a piece of jewels shone brightly throughout the hall.

Zhang Zai frowned and asked, "What does this mean?" ”

Arut smiled: "The general relied on thousands of people to block the onslaught of tens of thousands of people from a certain family, and a certain family admired the general's demeanor very much in his heart, and he was specially ordered to come down to make friends." ”

"Hehe, your envoy is here, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as making friends." Seeing that he wanted to get close, Zhang Zai didn't want to talk to him, so he asked directly.

"The general is quick to talk, and he will speak straight down." Arut saluted Zhang Zai.

Jang Jae made a gesture of please and waited quietly for the following.

"The general is very courageous, he sent someone to burn the grain and grass in the camp last night, and now the army has no grain and grass available, and a certain family is willing to exchange 1,000 gold for 10,000 stone grain and grass, and another 3,000 gold, which is counted as compensation for this war." Arut said what he meant, and at the same time complimented Zhang Zai lightly.

"10,000 stone of grain is too much, after making the transaction, who knows if you will regret it. Well...... One thousand gold for two thousand stone of grain, if agreed, it can be traded now. Zhang Zai and Xue Rengui glanced at each other and directly increased the price by five times.

"General, this is too ......" Arut was a little flustered, and Zhang Zai pressed the price too hard.

"In this way, if you can't be the master, you can ask your family Shan Yu first."

Zhang Zai's meaning is obvious, you are no longer qualified to negotiate the next negotiations.

Even though Alut had countless words in his heart, all of them were blocked by Zhang Zai, a reluctant smile appeared on his face, and he arched his hand and said, "I'm going to ask Shan Yu for instructions, and I ask the general to wait." ”

Zhang Zai nodded, and then said to the guards outside the door: "Come on, take the messenger out of the city." ”

The guards outside the gate entered and led Arut out of the city.

"This alone is generous, and these jewels are probably worth a thousand gold." Zhang Zai looked at the tray left in front of the hall and said with a smile.

"Yes, but the lord is calculating."

These two thousand stones of grain and grass were just enough for them for three days, and with their surplus food, it was just enough for them to return to the grassland. Xue Rengui had been beside him, and after thinking for a while, he understood Zhang Zai's intentions.

……

After about an hour, Arut came again, but his face was a little bad.

"General, a certain family Shan Yu agreed to exchange 1,000 gold for 2,000 stone of grain, but Shan Yu wants to trade immediately." Arut's tone was no longer as polite as when he first met Jang Jae.

Zhang Zai didn't care about his change, and said: "Yes, I am ready now, at noon, I will trade outside the east gate, and after handing over the grain, I hope you will withdraw immediately." ”

"That's nature." After completing the transaction, Arut's face gradually improved, and he casually agreed to Zhang Zai's request.
