Chapter 101: Hun Cavalry
The envoy team composed of hundreds of cavalry and two or three hundred infantry marched from the east gate of Chang'an City, crossed the Bashui River, and marched towards Shaanxi County.
The main envoy of this team is none other than Li Su, the cavalry commander appointed by Situ Wang Yun, and the deputy envoy is Xu Rong, the Taishou of Xingyang, and the two of them will go to Shaanxi County to disband the Xiliang people and horses of Niu Fu with the edict of the Son of Heaven. Of course, along with Zhao Xue and Chen Nuo's parents.
Before leaving, Li Su was actually very hesitant about how to settle Chen Nuo's parents. He even thought about whether to learn from Dong Zhuo and leave Chen Nuo's parents in Chang'an and detain him for the future. It's just that his idea was immediately seen through by Zhao Xue, and Zhao Xue immediately refuted it with stern words, asking him to 'release' Chen Nuo's parents as soon as possible and not to make foolish plans. At the same time, Ma Yunlu next to him moved out of Xiliang Ma's family and threatened to make a wise decision as soon as possible, and not to make the same mistake as Dong Zhuo.
Zhao Xue also said that if Chen Nuo's parents could be returned to Chen Nuo in person, Chen Nuo would be grateful to him, and it would be much more upright than coercion. At the same time, for example, Dong Zhuo detained Chen Nuo's parents in the past, thinking that he was threatening, but in the end, Chen Nuo resolutely counterattacked, and also killed Xiliang Zhang Jiren and others. It can be seen that coercion is not only ineffective for Chen Nuo, but may be counterproductive, so it is not advisable to provoke Chen Nuo. persuade Li Su to think twice and not to repeat Dong Zhuo's mistakes. When Li Su heard it at the time, he was shocked, and suddenly understood, and without saying a word, he hurriedly agreed to release Chen Nuo's parents.
Ma Yunlu came to protect Chen Nuo's parents, and since she saw that Chen Nuo's parents were safe, she could only say goodbye to Zhao Xue and return to Huaili. It's just that when Ma Yunlu was about to say goodbye, he thought in his heart that although Li Su promised to release Chen Nuo's parents, after all, it was a long way to go, and he was afraid that there would be other branches along the way, and Zhao Xue was a girl's family, so it was only inappropriate for her to walk alone with these people. Ma Yunlu thought about it and hit the idea on the family general Pang De.
This Pang De has always been loyal to the Ma family, and he obeyed the orders of the head of the family, Ma Teng. It's just that although Ma Yunlu is Ma Teng's daughter and Ma Chao's sister, she is a girl after all, and it is not so easy to make Pang De obey her orders. That Pound just said that he blamed himself for protecting Miss, where was it possible to go so far to Yecheng, isn't it a joke? Even if he agrees, I'm afraid that Ma Teng, the head of the family, may not agree. Pound just ignored it, wanting to refuse on the grounds of Ma Teng.
Zhao Xue next to him seemed that although he wished there was such a relaxed entourage on the road to protect him. It's just that she heard Pound move out of Ma Teng, so she knew that this matter was not so easy, she couldn't say that she coaxed Pound away here, and she would be severely scolded by his father when she went back, so she couldn't help but persuade Ma Yunlu not to do foolish things. Where was Ma Yunlu willing to listen, and seeing that Pang De resolutely disagreed, he pulled Pang De to the side, avoided others, and cried with him.
"Uncle De, you agree with Yun'er's opinion, if you don't agree, I'll show you!"
“…… Yes, Miss, you still call me Lao Pang, or you can sell your face and call 'General Pang'." As for Uncle De, I think it's better to be free, the little ones can't stand it. ”
"Uncle De, no, you have to promise Yun'er, promise Yun'er......"
“……”
Pound saw Ma Yunlu acting like this, and he was really made to cry and laugh. This little girl has always been weird, and he has been taught by Pang De since he was a child. The matter has come to this point, what else can I do, I can only cry and nod reluctantly.
"Ahaha, Uncle De, you're so good!"
"No matter how bad it is, if you let the lord know that I 'forced to die' his precious daughter today, do you think I still have the life to go back? However, although I agreed, you also have to promise me a condition, Miss. I can go, you have to promise me to go back to Huaili obediently, hurry up and see the lord, no trouble on the way, understand? ”
"Good! As long as Uncle De agrees, I will go back to Huaili immediately......"
Pound listened to her promise, so he shook his head helplessly and came out with Ma Yunlu. As soon as Ma Yunlu saw Zhao Xue, he immediately told Pang De about his promise to protect them to Yecheng, only laughed twice, his expression darkened, and he pouted: "Sister Xue, if you go back this time, we don't know when we will meet again?" ”
Zhao Xue looked at her face and knew what was on her mind, her eyes turned, and she joked with her: "I'm afraid it's the next year when we meet, otherwise, if you can't let go of your heart, go back with me?" ”
"Okay......"
Ma Yunlu shouted, and then shook his head and said: "No, I tricked Sister Xue into coming to Chang'an this time, I'm afraid that General Chen will hate me to death, didn't I fall into the net in the past?" ”
Zhao Xue saw her cowardly expression, and smiled: "Is this self-defeating...... There should be. But let the big brother know that although you lied to him, but in the end you helped him, and you also made a lot of efforts, I think the big brother will definitely forgive Sister Yunlu for you, right? If Sister Yunlu shows your lovesickness in front of the big brother when you arrive, the big brother maybe...... Giggle......"
"What did Sister Xue say, see if I don't kill you little girl!"
Ma Yunlu suddenly jumped up and played with Zhao Xue.
……
The envoy team was finally about to set off, and the hands held by Ma Yunlu and Zhao Xue were finally slowly separated.
"Ahem, ahem!"
Pang De stepped forward and deliberately explained Ma Yunlu two sentences, asking her to abide by the agreement between them and return to Huaili as soon as possible. Seeing Ma Yunlu nodding, he knocked the horse's belly, took away thirty fine horses, and went on the road with Zhao Xue and the others.
"Snow Sister ......"
Seeing the backs of Zhao Xue and the others drifting away, Ma Yunlu stayed in Ma for a long time and did not leave. Perhaps, she felt guilty about Zhao Xue, after all, she really shouldn't have deceived her as a substitute in order not to kill Chen Nuo. Although in the end, she reined in the precipice and did not betray it to Dong Zhuo, she also felt deeply guilty because of the evil thoughts for a moment. And open-minded like Zhao Xue, she is ashamed of herself, not only forgave her, but also did not complain about her because of this matter, it is really rare to be as good to her as ever.
She couldn't help but think at this time, was it merciful or cruel for her to capture Chen Nuo's sweetheart instead of killing Chen Nuo in the first place? And she obviously has nothing to do with Chen Nuo, why was Zhao Xue said that she liked it? This...... It doesn't seem to be the case.
To say that she likes Chen Nuo, she really shouldn't. After all, she and Chen Nuo have no chance of direct contact at all, how can she like it without feelings? If this is also called liking, then is this kind of 'liking' too superficial? She thought about it carefully at this time, in fact, she was mistaken by Zhao Xue for liking Chen Nuo, probably because she didn't kill Chen Nuo in the end, right? However, did she let him go really because she liked it? No, it's not, maybe it's the 'good feelings' to blame for it.
So where does this 'goodwill' come from? In fact, it is very simple, this 'goodwill' comes from the people. I remember that she was scattered for Gongsun Yue and lost contact with Chen Nuo and others for a period of time. And she, during this time, because she was recuperating from her injuries among the people, heard some things about Chen Nuo from the villagers. At that time, she heard that Chen Nuo was not only able to fight, but also to cherish the people, and was a good official. The reason is that when Chen Nuo was the county commander of Xiuxian County, he was besieged by the Yellow Turbans at that time, and in this case, he not only successfully organized men and horses to defend the city to repel the invading enemy, but also was able to do nothing against the people in autumn, which is really rare. And it was precisely because she heard about this at that time, and because she was not bad in her heart, that she had 'repentance', so she did not kill Chen Nuo in the end.
It's just that she didn't kill Chen Nuo and was mistaken by Zhao Xue for liking Chen Nuo, but now that I think about it, it's not the case at all. It's just that how could she think so for so much time without refuting Zhao Xue? This is probably because she was instilled in Chen Nuo's ears by Zhao Xue all day long, so that she confused the things before and after, so that she had a wrong judgment, so that she didn't react to being 'teased' by her several times, right?
Ma Yunlu thought about this clearly, his eyes lit up, and he was so excited that he wanted to go to Zhao Xue for a theory. Just looked up, Zhao Xue and her party had already disappeared from her sight, who did she ask to reason with? She was guilty a moment ago that she not only abducted Zhao Xue, but also fell in love with her man, so the center couldn't help but feel worried. However, at this time, once she thought clearly about what she was thinking, she also felt relaxed physically and mentally.
"Ah, Sister Xue has returned to Yecheng, let's go back to Huaili too!"
"No!"
Ma Yunlu lifted the reins and took the rest of the men and horses to look around to the west. Only she, when she turned around, clearly saw Chen Nuo's face. The face was full of urgency, and he smiled at her: "The silver candle autumn light is cold on the screen, and the light small fan flutters fireflies." Haha, so wet, so wet! ”
"Ahh
"What's wrong with Miss?"
"I didn't ...... It's okay......"
On the same day, Chen Nuo in Yuan Tan's mansion took her fake name 'Liu Ying' to joke about Ma Yunlu's mind, Ma Yunlu remembered it vividly, and was almost teased by his two connected 'good wet'. She suddenly remembered at this time, her face couldn't help but turn red, and she muttered in her heart: "It turns out that Chen Nuo is not right, hmph, if there is a chance, this girl will go to meet him again!" At the same time, I was asking, "But I, really don't mean anything to him at all?" ”
Ahh
Whew! Sitting down, the horse was suddenly taken away by Ma Yunlu's hand with a strong force, and he turned to the side. When Ma Yunlu reacted, he saw a burst of shouts left and right, followed, sat down and limped the front hooves of the horse, and fell into the tripping pit. And Ma Yunlu, who was sitting on horseback, was lifted by the horse's buttocks and thrown directly to the ground. Only Ma Yunlu landed on the ground, and the fall was broken bones and tendons, and she gritted her teeth in pain.
The cavalry on the left and right hurriedly dismounted and wanted to come over to help her, but she screamed and kicked her hard, and no one dared to approach. She grabbed a bunch of grass in her hand, threw it into the air, and shouted: "Good you Chen Nuo, 'so wet' and 'so wet', this girl hates you!" ”
……
"Ah, who's scolding me!"
Chen Nuo rubbed his nose, raised his head and explained to Zhu Rong Qingyi: "Okay, hurry up and pack your things and get ready to go!" ”
……
Chang'an, Baling.
Zhao Xue and his entourage followed, following the large army all the way to the east. This time, it's much faster than when I got up, and it shouldn't take long to get back to Yecheng after seeing the trip, right? Zhao Xue took care of Chen Nuo's parents all the way, and thought all the way about meeting Chen Nuo after returning, and she was happy in her heart. However, thinking of Ma Yunlu's words at the time of parting, she hesitated a little. Come to think of it, although she is the 'victim' in this matter, she was deceived by Ma Yunlu. However, if Chen Nuo investigates it carefully, isn't it also deeply related to himself? Thinking about it, did he, a big living person, have no idea at all, and was so easily deceived by others?
Although, she can tell herself in her heart that this is not being deceived, but her plan. Speaking of which, it's unclear who will use whom. What's more, she is for Chen Nuo's family. It's just that she looked down and thought about it, and in the end, she was ashamed of Chen Nuo. Thinking that she left like this, and hadn't seen her for such a long time, maybe Brother Chen Nuo should be very worried about her, right? Big brother won't be angry, will he ......
"If you don't obey in the future, I'll spank you!"
"Yikes!"
Zhao Xue recalled in her mind the scene of being spanked by him in the past, she was hot in her ass, and she exclaimed unconsciously in her mouth. She thought about it, she didn't say goodbye this time, and she was disobedient? Ass encounter is woody? Thinking of Chen Nuo's thick slap falling on her hind buttocks, snapping, her buttocks didn't hurt, but her face was already crawling with red clouds, and she was inexplicably shy.
Hearing this exclamation, Pound, who was riding next to her, couldn't help but turn his head and wanted to ask her what was going on. But seeing that her little face suddenly turned red, she shook her head unconsciously, this girl probably thought of something good. It was Zhao Xue who suddenly touched the puzzled eyes cast by Pang De, as if he had seen through his heart, and he was suddenly shy, I don't know why, don't turn my head in a hurry. However, just as she was parting heads, she suddenly saw a team of people rushing out of the oblique spurs, and the smoke and dust followed.
This group of men and horses is said to be no more than a hundred horses, under the banner of the Hun royal court. They were dressed in fox furs, with scimitars at their waists, bows on their backs, and spears in their hands. They rode like the wind, turned from the spurs, and immediately blocked the road. Originally, these Huns didn't want to be later, so they shouted arrogantly and unreasonably, scolded loudly, and wanted Li Su and his party to give way. And Li Su and his entourage, when they suddenly encountered this group of Huns, they also had an inexplicable headache, and they were almost washed away by this group of Huns for a while.
When Xu Rong, the Xingyang Taishou who was standing next to Li Su, saw it, he was very angry, his hand pressed the big knife, and his eyes looked at Li Su: "Lord Duwei, how should I deal with it, please speak!" ”
Li Su is the main envoy, and he has to listen to him in this trip.
Probably, if Li Su said 'don't let go', the two sides would have to fight.
However, is it that simple? Of course not. It would be fine if it were a gang of bandits, but they ......
He frowned, looking at this group of Huns, and his heart was bitter. For the Huns, he was born in a state, and he knows best, and he also knows that the Huns are not easy to mess with.
Although the Xiongnu were nominally attached to the Han Dynasty, their original Dadan Yu Fuluo was also exiled because he could not be established, and he could only call himself the Right Xian King, and his power was much less than before. However, in the end, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and the cruelty and ferocity of the Huns were really very unimaginable. Moreover, even if it is 'attached' to the Han Dynasty, the royal court is still standing in Bingzhou, but everyone knows that the current Han Dynasty is difficult to protect itself, where is there the effort to govern the Xiongnu, so that Dong Zhuo's rebellion, there are often shadows of the Xiongnu in Sanfu. And because these people are fast, they come and go without a trace, they are tyrannical in the township, and they are rampant, and it is not easy to deal with them.
Although there were only a hundred horses in front of Li Su, and there were several times as many people behind him as he was, he also knew that once he calculated it, he might not be able to bargain. On the contrary, if you anger this group of Huns, I am afraid that he may be 'killed before he gets out of the school', and he will be beaten back home by the Huns before he goes out. Thinking about this, he Li Su could only swallow this breath dryly, and motioned to give way to the Huns.
Those Huns looked at each other and passed by the team, not only did they not have the slightest gratitude, but they also cheered and shouted because of the victory, and in the disgruntled eyes of a group of people behind Li Su, they slapped their horses out like the wind. Seeing that the Hun cavalry ran away with smoke and dust, Li Su Fang wiped the beads of sweat on his face, shouted in his heart, and immediately drank the horse to continue to advance.
And the soldiers behind him were clearly angry, but they didn't dare to move because they were hindered by Li Su's order. At this time, although he was doing it, his morale had fallen to the point that he could hear scolding at any time. It was Xingyang who guarded Xu Rong too much, and he was also angry. He thought that Li Su probably had a little temper under the loud scolding of those Huns, but he didn't know that in the end, he let people go without letting a single fart go, which was really a loss of face.
You know, they are acting on behalf of the Son of Heaven in this business, can the Son of Heaven be so cowardly?
After the Xiongnu, although everyone continued on the road, they no longer had the previous momentum. It was Zhao Xue who was behind, after seeing this scene, she also felt angry, but after all, she was a woman, and she had the responsibility to protect Chen Nuo's parents, and she relied on Li Su, so it was really inconvenient to speak. Pang De next to him was different, and when he saw it, he scolded Li Su for being a bad seed. Thinking of how majestic he was when he and General Ma Teng crossed the desert to kill Qianghu in Xiliang, how the Han family didn't dare to use a knife when they saw a little Hun, it was a shame.
Zhao Xue didn't understand the resentment in his heart, but just followed silently all the way. I don't know how long I walked all the way, and suddenly, in an open place in front of me, there were people and horses camping in the middle of the road, and the banner erected was clearly the court of the Huns. Zhao Xue raised her eyebrows, it was this group of Huns again, probably because it was going to be dark and they were sleeping outside, right? In Li Su's opinion, this group of Huns saw it like a plague god, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to leave quickly, and then rushed to the front town to rest.
However, in the quiet Hun tent, a woman's exclamation suddenly sounded. Then, I saw a woman holding a long piano in her hand, dressed as a Han girl, suddenly looking into the distance and running, and was scolded and chased by the Huns.
