PS: God never locks the door

Fifty chapters in the next volume

Captain Wu walked out of the woods from the south, and when he had walked about three hundred paces, an arrow came to his feet, and the Huns warned him to stop. Captain Wu raised his hands and spun around in place, letting the other party see clearly that he was not carrying a weapon:

"Don't let go of the arrows! Please inform General Helian Bi, I am the envoy sent by General Zhu Lingshi. ”

Suddenly, a dozen or so Hun knights ran over, gave him a horse, surrounded him in the middle, and ran into the Hun camp with a puff of smoke. The woods were under the control of the Jin army, and the Huns could not cut down trees and build fortifications, and the ground was so frozen that they could not dig trenches, so the Xiongnu camp was actually a tent one after another.

It was two hours in the afternoon, the sun was not west, and Captain Wu's shadow was cast on the ground behind him. The Huns did not go around in circles and took him all the way forward, which shows that Chen Song's judgment was right, Helian Xuan's Chinese army tent was in the south of the woods. He secretly counted the horses' steps in order to estimate the distance from the edge of the camp to the Helian tent. When he counted to more than two hundred and twenty times, a large cowhide tent appeared in front of him, which was more spacious than the others, and it was obvious that this was where Helian was located.

Helian Xuan sent a word and asked the envoy of the Jin army to wait outside. Captain Wu knew that Helian was putting on a show, but he needed this. Helian Pan's big tent was on top of a small mound, not very high, but it could also overlook the whole camp. He stood there and looked around, unable to see the location of the glacier, only the roofs of the tents. After thinking about it, he smiled at the Hun soldiers who were watching him beside him;

"Brother, can you give saliva to drink?"

The Hun soldier hesitated slightly, then untied the water bladder on his waist and handed it over.

Captain Wu took two sips. Shook the water bladder:

"There's not much water. What can you do if you don't have water to drink in this wilderness? It's been a long time since it's snowed. There is no snow to melt. ”

The Huns pouted and remained silent.

Captain Wu looked at his clean chin:

"Looks like you're not even eighteen yet. I've never seen a big battle. Let me tell you, it is more terrible for the army to be without water than without food. Without water, dry food can cut a bloody throat. When we went out of Chang'an, we thought it through, and specially used a carriage to pull water, plus our own water bladder, which lasted ten days and a half months. When the time comes, there will be no need to go to war, you will be so thirsty that you can't stand it, and you will retreat! Hehe! ”

Seeing that the besieged southern barbarians were so arrogant, the Hun baby soldiers replied angrily:

"Who said we were short of water. Guarding a river of ice, are you still worried about having no water to drink? ”

Captain Wu shrugged his shoulders:

"You just blow it with a big mouth, could it be that you Huns have grown two dicks, urinated a lot and drank too much, and God even gave you a river of ice! Why didn't I see it? ”

The Hun child's face flushed, glared at him, and kept his hand west:

"Isn't that what it is, you can get the ice back after walking a hundred and ten steps! Dig a hole, and it is a living well. An army of millions is enough, see if we can trap you! ”

Captain Wu was dumbfounded:

"Obediently, it seems that you are really not short of water, so what hope do we have!"

Now it's the turn of the Huns to be proud:

"So surrender quickly!"

Captain Wu was already absent-minded. I can't wait to turn around and go back immediately, but to do a line of work, you must love a line, and to be a messenger you must be like a messenger. You have to go through the motions seriously, not to mention that you may be able to get some more oil and water. Right now. A personal soldier came out to announce him, saying that the general was invited.

Helian Xuan's face was full of red light. Because it was warm in the tent. He has a fox fur on his body and a brazier by his side. Even more because of happiness: according to the envoy, Zhu Lingshi and Chen Song were both in the forest, and as soon as he thought of annihilating a large Jin army and using the head of his old enemy Chen Song as a night pot, all the lice all over his body were laughing.

When he saw the messenger come in, he pointed to a low table on the side, motioned for him to sit behind it, and asked for a drink to be poured for him:

"Did General Zhu Lingshi send you?"

Captain Wu said yes, come and don't be rude. Since the general sent an envoy to persuade him to surrender, my general Zhu also wanted to know whether the general was sincere. His original words were that the Hu people did not pay attention to faithfulness and had done a lot of slaughtering prisoners, so he should not be gullible, and asked me to have a good talk with the general.

In the past, the saying that "Hu people don't pay attention to faith and righteousness" has long made Helian Xuan angry, but today he was in a good mood, and he actually laughed out loud when he heard this:

"In that case, why didn't General Zhu come and talk to me in person?"

Captain Wu habitually shrugged his shoulders:

"He said that you don't speak of faith, how can you risk sending yourself into the mouth of the tiger?"

Helian shook his head contemptuously:

"In the final analysis, it is still under Zhu Lingshi's fame, but it is actually difficult to deserve. My father is under his city, and the archers above his head are eyeing him, and he dares to talk to him without wearing armor, why doesn't he have the courage to talk to me? If he comes, even if the talks fall apart, I will never touch a single hair of him! ”

Captain Wu said this, I can go back and tell him, now I am interested in what the general intends to do if we surrender?

Didn't Helian say that my messenger had made it clear? If you surrender, the generals are still generals, the officers are still officers, and they still bring their original team, and none of the three armies will be killed, disbanded, or incorporated into the Hun army, but where will the garrison be held, that is, His Majesty the Emperor has the final say, and I dare not say it now. In fact, it is to keep you away from the southern border, so that you do not mutiny.

Captain Wu said that in the battle of Chishui, Chen Song led his troops to kill and wound many officers and soldiers in Daxia, and now General Zhu Lingshi is going to surrender, Chen Song is the most opposed, he is worried that you will retaliate against him.

Helian pondered for a moment. He really hates Chen Song very much in his heart, and he does have the idea of revenge, but what matters now is to first come to a soldier who surrenders without a fight, and give his father a big gift package. Helian Chang went to pursue Liu Yizhen, he was bound to fight hard, and he lost a lot of troops, if he brought back a dozen generals and thousands of officers and soldiers without blood, wouldn't it be a superior judgment? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this battle is the ring of their brothers, and whoever wins more brilliantly will be able to take the lead. Soldiers in the world, who doesn't know that "the whole army is the first, and the broken army is second"? The Han people said: The big husband can bend and stretch; The Han people also said: No poison is not a husband. I'll give in today. Another day of poison, can the Nanban, who has become a captive, still bite off a piece of my meat? Say yes first. Settle accounts after the fall! Thinking of this, he raised his right hand with a solemn expression:

"Please go back and tell General Chen. I did hate him. But he is a talent and a good general, and I cherish and reuse it as much as I do. If he surrenders sincerely, I, Helian Xuan, will not be blamed in the past, and if he has the intention of causing harm, heaven and man will learn from it! ”

Captain Wu said that I was relieved, but you also know that the Beifu soldiers have not lost a battle, and the officers are arrogant. Many people think that you may not be able to eat us, general, to say something you don't like to hear, it is me, who has followed General Zhu to fight in the south and north for so many years, and I don't really believe that you can really defeat us.

Helian was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing:

"Are you people too arrogant, the infantry is trapped in the forest, surrounded by armored cavalry, and you dare to have extravagant hopes? That's fine. Hearing is false, seeing is believing, you walk with me in the camp, let you see the combat power of my Hun army! ”

Captain Wu recited it 10,000 times in his heart, thanking God and thanking the Bodhisattva. From the bottom of his heart, he happily got up and followed Helian out of the big tent.

Helian had a horse brought to him and led him eastward. There was a school yard, and a group of cavalrymen were playing sheep hunting. Helian called a school captain. said that he would call a few brothers to perform a horse shooting for the Jin envoy. Captain Wu hurriedly said that there is no need for this, just look at the sheep. It's already very eye-opening, your army's cavalry and archery armor are all over the world, we know. Helian said proudly, then let you see my family background. Then he took him to the north side of the camp, which was full of wagons, and was stocked with grain, grass and military supplies. Helian said that I don't plan to come hard this time, just drink wine, eat meat and race horses here every day, and trap you softly. When you are so hungry that your hands and feet are numb, my soldiers do not need weapons, only need ropes to achieve great victory, so you must be aware of the current affairs, now surrender is a kind of disposal, and when the time comes, it is another kind of disposal, don't toast, don't eat and drink. Captain Wu is only the only one. And then to the west. Here are the soldiers' barracks and stables, the tents are neatly set up in vertical and horizontal rows, and the aisles between the rows can accommodate three horses in parallel. When the soldiers outside the tent saw Helian coming over, they stopped saluting one after another. After walking more than 100 steps, I really arrived at the river. The sun shines on the ice, and it's hard to tell whether it's warm or cold. On the other side of the river are still tents, and you can't see the edge at a glance. Captain Wu made a visual inspection, and the nearest tent was about fifty or sixty steps away from the riverbank. In this season, the northwest wind is blowing, so the Xiongnu tents all have their backs to the glacier and open to the southeast.

Back at the big tent, Helian said that the envoy should come in and have a drink before leaving. Captain Wu said thank you for the general's kindness, I have seen the general's sincerity and the majesty of your army, so I will go back to restore my life, so that the commanders can hurry up and make a decision, and the brothers will do their best to get out of trouble and eat a hot meal.

Helian laughed and said that if it is not just a hot meal, I will kill the cow and set the wine for them to catch the wind.

Captain Wu was just about to dismount and walk back, Helian said you don't have to dismount, this horse is a gift from me, you can ride back. Captain Wu thanked him again and again, and returned to the camp.

Zhu Lingshi and Chen Song actually waited for less than an hour, but they seemed to have waited for a hundred years, and now they saw that Captain Wu not only came back, but also brought a horse, and their hearts were only half relieved, and when Captain Wu drew a topographical map, that half was also put back into his chest.

Chen Song immediately gathered the thirty dead soldiers selected by Zhu Lingshi and explained his intentions. In the second half of the night, when people were sleeping the deepest, he wanted to lead the dead soldiers to sneak into the Hun camp along the glacier and kidnap Helian Bi. If this move is successful, the Jin army will be reborn from the dead.

From the time he left the woods to the time he arrived at the big tent, Captain Wu walked about 300 steps, and the horses walked 220 steps, and the big tent was a thousand steps away from the woods. That is to say, the dead men had to walk so far along the Glacier Bridge silently and then sneak a hundred steps to the east. If no one notices, they can achieve their goal without bloodshed; Even if someone was shocked, at that time when everyone was sleeping softly, it was an easy task for thirty brave swordsmen to kill a hundred steps.

Each man had a long sword, a dagger, and a beaded crossbow, and his weapons were blackened with smoke; Rushing lightly, without wearing armor, his leather coat was covered with black cloth, and his face was covered with a mask. Tonight they are not soldiers, they are a silent puff of black smoke.

According to the agreement, once Chen Song succeeded, he would launch three ringing arrows. Zhu Lingshi received this signal and immediately reorganized the three armies and prepared to set off.

Zhu Lingshi said what if it fails?

Chen Song said that there was no such thing as failure. I'm worried that Helian Tent is too far away from the river, and now that it's this distance, we're going to play this way. You won't miss a shot.

Zhu Lingshi was silent for a while, and said what if it fails? For example, what if Helian didn't live in the big tent tonight?

Chen Song was speechless for a long time. Finally, he said, then, I will catch a live at his big tent and ask him where he lives. If that doesn't work, then I'll go to the stables and steal the horses. Then you set fire to the grain in the rear camp, and when you see the fire, you immediately turn the defense into an attack, set fire to the arrows, shout loudly, and immediately break away after a quick battle, and the whole army desperately goes east. There is no better way.

Zhu Lingshi nodded. If that's all I can do, I'll fight for it.

The hour was between ugliness, and Chen Song took thirty dead soldiers. Assembled on the ice south of the woods.

Looking to both sides, the Huns lit numerous bonfires at the edge of the barracks, and there were people staring at the woods next to them. The rangers were patrolling back and forth, but they didn't dare to get too close to the woods.

They tied thick hay mats and tribulus strips to the boot floor to prevent them from slipping. In the dark, Zhu Lingshi hugged Chen Song heavily, didn't say anything, made a gesture to leave, and then patted the shoulders of each dead soldier. All of them were young officers. The combat power is by no means comparable to that of ordinary soldiers. Although this blow was light, it was bound to kill with one blow; But if things don't work out, the best middle and lower-level officers in the army will all be lost. Good steel is used on the cutting edge. When the blade is missing, the sword is useless.

Chen Song walked at the forefront, and the dead soldiers followed.

It was a sunny day. The moon is not round, but it shines brightly. The good thing is that they can see the target clearly. The downside is that they are easily exposed.

Chen Song bent his waist and stopped every few steps to listen to the movements on the left and right shores. He'd rather be slower. It's not far from a slight miss.

There was no sound except their own wheezing.

Not even the sound of the night owl.

The night of midwinter is so solemn.

He kept counting the steps under his feet. People walk on the ice, and their steps are small, so they have to walk more than Captain Wu said.

One of the brothers slipped suddenly. Everyone immediately crouched down, as if this ordinary sound could immediately attract a salvo of ten thousand arrows.

There was no sound except for their wheezing.

Not even the sound of the night owl.

Chen Song estimated that it was almost over, and gestured backwards, asking everyone to gather over. He poked his head out of the river bank and looked east, the sky was clear, and their assembly point was stuck in the passage between the two rows of tents, and along the passage, a large tent stood impressively on a gentle slope, and a large flag was faintly floating on the top, which matched Captain Wu's description.

Chen Song suppressed his heartbeat and asked everyone to check the weapons again, and then asked everyone to gently cut off the shrubs on the shore so that they would not get in the way; Everyone takes off the withered grass and thistle mats from their shoes, and walking on the ground only makes a prickly noise. He made a gesture and took the lead in turning over to the shore.

He walked lightly, with a cat's waist.

Chen Song was very satisfied, and more than 30 people were silent.

They are not soldiers, they are silent black smoke.

There was thunder in the tents on both sides.

They don't disturb anyone's dreams.

Chen Song observed from all sides and found that the Huns were tight on the outside and loose on the inside, and there was no one patrolling the camp at all.

Heaven will not die, this lone army!

When he walked to about thirty steps away from the big tent, Chen Song gestured to everyone to squat, and asked a dead soldier to put down his weapon, take off his combat boots, and go around to see the reality and reality.

Soon the brother returned, saying that there were only a dozen guards in the tent, but they were all sleeping.

Chen Song secretly recited the Buddha's name again, thanking God for handing over the enemy to him.

They quietly touched the mouth of the big tent, and the bridge silently cut the throats of the guards, and the bridge entered the big tent silently, and the dead soldiers left outside immediately changed into the clothes of the Hun soldiers and dragged the corpses into the big tent.

Chen Song let out a sigh of relief and asked someone to light the lamp.

In the dim light, he glanced at Helian Xuan, who was sleeping on a thick leather cushion and covered with a brocade quilt, and couldn't help but shake his head.

It's hard to change your nature!

There were two people sleeping in the quilt, and the other half of his body was exposed, it was a man.

Chen Song remembered that Guo Xu had killed the male pet in the Battle of Chishui to anger Helian Xuan, and felt that this was a good sign. He glanced around the tent and saw Helian Pyro's scimitar on a low table, so he drew it.

Good knives!

Looking under the lamp, the murderous aura turns into light and flashes people's eyes.

He took the knife, squatted down, and gently picked open Helian Bi's quilt with the tip of the knife. The latter muttered in his dream and rolled over and put a hand on the male pet's body.

Chen Song put the cold back of the knife on Helian Xuan's shoulder.

The owner of the knife was a spirit, and opened his eyes. He first saw a deformed knife pointed at him, the tip of which was wide. Then at the back of the knife I saw a face covered in a black cloth.

He brought three male pets with him, and the youngest of them was the one who went to bed tonight. He thought it was another male pet playing a prank. lazily scolded in Hun dialect. At this time, Chen Song took off the black cloth on his face, and Helian found that this was an extremely calm but murderous face.

He sat up at once, and was about to shout that there was an assassin, when several dead men covered his mouth and nose, shoved a mass of cloth into his mouth, and bound him naked.

The male pet next to him has woken up, and the result is the same, and he has not heard his voice. The seer became a rice dumpling.

Chen Song suddenly remembered that he had captured A Bogan in battle, but unfortunately he was disturbed by Hu Luzheng. Today is very good, Helian Liang does not have a Hu Luzheng as a savior, he has been firmly in his hands, and he can make good use of it.

Tell his subordinates to bring over a hu bed, sit down, condescendingly, and fiddle with the scimitar:

"General Helian, don't come unharmed. I am the Chen Song you think about day and night. ”

Helian Xuan's eyes instantly tightened larger than a fist.

Chen Song said that the envoy walked on the front foot, and I came on the back foot, but I did not come to surrender. Next, I'm going to talk to you. So you are allowed to open your mouth to speak. But if you dare to shout for help, this knife will not recognize its owner. If you agree with me, please nod.

Tears of humiliation welled up in Helian Pyro's eyes. But he nodded again and again.

Chen Song motioned to pull the cloth off his mouth.

Helian Peng spit out the thread in his mouth, and the first thing he said was that you are too despicable and despicable! I call you in for you with all my heart. Give you a way to live, and you are fighting like this without declaring. Chickens and dogs sneak up on me!

Chen Song smiled:

"If I had known that General Helian was romantic tonight, I wouldn't have been so despicable, and I would have chosen another auspicious day. Nope."

Helian heard that his words were sarcastic, ashamed and annoyed, and hung his head silently.

Chen Song said, let's get down to business. Our brethren are tired of being in the woods and want to move, but you are so busy that we can't move. If you break in, you and I will die, not good! In my opinion, you will give an order tomorrow morning to tell your people to get out of the way, and call my people to be polite, so that everyone will not be harmed. As for me, I will always be with you with these brothers, and as long as our army has passed through the mud, and has not been ambushed or pursued by you on the way, and when we reach a safe place, I will let you go. Do you think it's fair to do that?

Helian wanted to die at this moment.

He thought he could pluck a ripe fruit, but the fruit fell and broke his head. He has been defeated in the pond once, for which he was exiled to the north by his father for a year, this time he will be full of strength to be ashamed, but the golden drum has not sounded, the knife has not been handed over, and he was pressed in the bed with his bare buttocks, and there is a male pet by his side. If this matter spreads, not to mention fighting for the throne, it is to protect the official position, I am afraid that it will be very hanging.

Thinking of this, he twisted his head and didn't look at Chen Song's sneering face and the knife in his hand;

"If you love to kill, you will kill, if you like, the prince of Great Xia, how can you be entangled with you dogs!"

Chen Songle said:

"Admire! Admire! The prince of Great Xia would rather die than give in, there is a kind! But listen to me, you have two options. One is that I still stuff your mouth, and then, as you said, we brothers each cut off a dozen or so cuts of flesh and skin, and finally cut off the root of your life, and hang your head in the big tent, and you don't move us, so that the next day your subordinates will know everything, and then your father will know everything, and even though you are dead, you are also despised by others, and your death is disgraceful, and it is not worth it! The second is that you do what I say, so that you leave a life, and in time, there will still be one. We'll take care of this male pet so that the three armies won't know about your affair tonight, and you'll be attacked in your sleep, resist, outnumbered, and captured, doesn't that sound much grandiose! ”

Helian hung his head and was silent for a long time, and finally sighed:

"Do you know that you won't kill me treacherously after you achieve your goal?"

Chen Song smiled coldly:

"Actually, you don't have the bargaining capital now, but I can tell you the truth, my original intention here is not to kill you, otherwise I wouldn't have to spend so much words! I want to borrow you to open the way, whether you want to or not, you are meritorious to us, if I kill you, heaven and earth will not tolerate it, and man and God will punish you. ”

Helian calmed down a little and said what do you want me to do.

Chen Song said that you get up and dress neatly, and give an order to your generals, asking them to get out of the way to the east, and when our army in the forest is cleared, we will go east together until I think we can release you.

Helian Bi's own soldiers outside the tent were already dead. One of Chen Song's dead soldiers stood at the mouth of the tent and shouted:

"Someone, someone, an errand boy!"

In the nearest tent, a Hun lieutenant sat up sleepily and walked out, he was very strange, how could he have issued an order at this time? And how can there be an order in Chinese?

He saw Helian standing at the door of the tent with a very strange expression; There was a group of people around, some wearing Hun clothes, but none of them knew each other; Others were dressed in black. His first reaction was that this was probably a secret envoy sent by the emperor, but looking at Helian Bi's neck, with at least three swords on his neck, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. The man closest to him picked up his crossbow and aimed it at him, and his back suddenly became cold.

Helian said don't be in a daze, hurry up and call all the generals and building masters, I have an urgent order.

The lieutenant knew what to say, and stumbled into a tent and shouted that everyone should split up and summon people, and that the prince had been kidnapped.

Chen Song asked someone to escort Helian back to the tent, poured himself a small bowl of wine, and drank it in small sips. Outside the tent, the noise gradually rose, and the whole camp was full of people shouting and neighing. He suddenly remembered a scene he had seen: the chef of the restaurant would sprinkle a handful of salt into the fire when he was not angry, and the fire would be provoked in seconds.

They are the salt.

Hearing the sound of footsteps and the neighing of horses converging in this direction, like the tide of the Qiantang pounding on the embankment, he put down his wine bowl and nodded to a dead man:

"Shoot three arrows!" (To be continued......)
