PS: A blacksmith who does not want to be a general is not a good diplomat

Chapter 35 of the next volume

Helian Biao's sneak attack on Chang'an failed, which scared Liu Yizhen to death, and also fulfilled Liu Yizhen, he could finally completely veto any Jianyi who sent troops out of Chang'an.

The next day, the Assassin's Mansion ordered: No soldiers should be left outside Chang'an City; The whole city is searched, and those who enter Chang'an in the past few days, if they do not have the guarantee of relatives and friends, whether they are Han, Qiang, or Xiongnu, they will be arrested and interrogated. The grain stored by the people of the whole city will be confiscated, and it will be under the jurisdiction of the Assassin's Office, and each family will receive a ration according to the number of people, and those who secretly hide grain will be disposed of from light to heavy according to the catties, and the maximum punishment can be capital punishment!

With an order, the chickens and dogs in the whole city were restless, the spies did not catch a few, and the common people offended countless people. In Chang'an City, there were Yao Qin's official treasury, as well as the private treasury of the rich and grain merchants, and the grain stock was originally abundant. However, after the Jin army conquered Chang'an, the logistics grain and grass no longer depended on Jiangdong water transportation, and all the problems were solved on the spot, and the grain stocks in the public and private warehouses were consumed quickly. This year is not a good weather, there is no catastrophe, the harvest in the Guanzhong area is not good, the grain itself that can be collected is not much, if it only supports the military and civilians of Chang'an, it can last for half a year; Now that the field troops outside the city have entered the city, more than 20,000 sets of young stomachs have been added to the city, and the food has suddenly become tight. As soon as the grain requisition order was issued, the stock of the people's homes was requisitioned, and one person and three meals suddenly had to rely on people's snorts, and they also knew that in the end, they would definitely give priority to the military and get rid of the people. The reputation that the Beifu soldiers had saved when they first entered Chang'an and that they had not committed any crimes in the autumn could be regarded as being defeated by themselves.

Liu Yizhen can't manage so much, he needs to save his life first. To save his life. You have to save the lives of the three armies first, as for the common people. Even if a few starve to death, it will not affect the overall situation. Wait until the crisis has passed. Give a little more favor, and this gap in reputation will be slowly filled.

Food lasts for a while, and there is no shortage of water. There are rivers and springs in Chang'an City, even if the Huns can dig open ice holes and poison the river water, they will not be able to harm the springs in the city. The city wall of Chang'an is high and thick enough, and now the guard force is strong enough, as long as it is carried to the open river, Jiangdong will come to the aid by land and water. Helian Bobo could only slip back.

After counting this qiē, my heart is steady, and I can sleep.

The Jin army stockpiled all kinds of materials on the city wall to deal with the siege, and the officers and soldiers changed into competent weapons to defend the city, and they were divided into shifts and shifts, leaving no gaps in the handover, waiting to break the waves of imaginary cloud ladder attacks, rushing car attacks, and attacks attached to thousands of ants, but they were nervous for many days, but they did not hear a single Hun march drum. After that sneak attack didn't work out. The Huns set up camp far away, wrestled with horses at sunrise, roasted sheep on a bonfire at sunset, and sang and heard each other. The smoke can be seen, but none of the soldiers appeared under Chang'an City, as if they came early. It is to find a good seat under the stage and wait for the show to start.

In this way, the well water does not interfere with the river water, and the land keeps watch over each other for ten days. Neither of them knew when the other would deliver an unexpected blow. God seems to have a fun mentality, and it hasn't been windy for many days. Four hours before noon, the sun was roasting warmly, and what the city wanted to do most was to lie down on the spot and take a big nap. At a certain warm winter noon, which was really not suitable for war, but suitable for turning enemies into friends, the officers and soldiers of the city saw a horse in the distance walking briskly with small steps, and immediately the knight did not wear armor or carry weapons, but carried a thing that only envoys used, that is, a yak tail tied to a long pole. The man shouted in pure Chinese from a distance:

"Brothers of the Jin Army, don't release arrows, I'm here to entertain!"

Treat!

To say this word after such a ferocious sneak attack is unscrupulous to hear it. The captain of the team on duty at the head of the city stared at the comer, and the brethren beside him spread their bows impatiently, saying that these brutes would not have any good intentions, and that they would kill him with an arrow. The team leader agreed in his heart, but he also knew that since the other party was coming, he had to talk to his own boss, and a junior officer of his class could not do anything except ask for his intention and report it quickly:

"Who sent you? What kind of guests are invited? ”

"His Excellency the Emperor of Great Xia, His Majesty the Second Prince, the Envoy Jie, the General of Zhengnan, and the Commander of Yongliang and Qin Sanzhou, His Excellency Helian Xuan, prepared a little thin wine, and invited His Excellency General Liu Yizhen to the camp for an interview!"

The team leader frowned when he heard this. Although he is not the material of the envoys, he also knows that he will fight for face in front of the enemy's envoys. The person who came to give Helian a string of titles, but he only gave Liu Yizhen an ominous general's false name, making the highest commander of the local Beifu army inferior, which was categorically unacceptable. Moreover, the three states led by Helian Bi are exactly the same as Liu Yizhen, and it sounds as if he has already won the battle, and he wants to say goodbye to the defeated enemy who has just lost the three states. Although you can't shoot someone, you have to torture him:

"You kid say it again, who invited whom?"

The messenger was stunned for a moment, and repeated the original words.

"No, repeat!"

The messenger was a little annoyed. I've made it very clear that this is a matter between the two managers, and I hope you don't delay.

The team leader smiled coldly:

"You still know that you are the coach of both sides, so why do you have a list of titles for Helian Ghost Helian Monster, and my coach doesn't have it? If you can't figure out how to speak, just go back and ask clearly, anyway, if you don't like it, you won't report it! ”

I didn't expect that a small soldier head with the size of a sesame seed could give himself a dismount. And if he really doesn't give a report, he will have to go back if he can't even get the word on, which is an out-and-out humiliating mission. In desperation, reopened:

"His Excellency His Excellency the Emperor of Great Xia, His Majesty the Second Prince, General Zhengnan, Envoy Jiejie, and His Excellency Liu Yizhen, the Governor of the Great Jin Dynasty, Yongliang and Qin Sanzhou, are invited to come to Daying for an interview!"

Fortunately, he was familiar with the enemy situation and had sharp teeth, and finally reported Liu Yizhen's official title word for word, and changed "to" to "come" by the way, which can be regarded as a slight expression of sincerity. He thought that this level had passed, but the team leader in the city still had a hanging face:

"That's not right! Say it again! ”

The messengers are going to go crazy. Did I miss any official positions?

The team leader said that you didn't miss the official position of my family's assassination, but you said too much to the one in your family.

The messenger said that I said according to the title conferred on him by His Majesty the Emperor, and I didn't add much at all.

The team leader said you have to do what you did the first time you said about my family's assassination. Say your boss again.

Only then did the envoy understand that this junior officer of the Jin army was going to be completely equal today. Never give yourself a little advantage to take advantage of. Both sides are tightly involved in reporting official titles, which is a tie-off. But for the first humiliation, the other party is still angry, and he must treat others the way they do. I didn't have the capital to bargain, so I had to hold back the fire and start again:

"General Helian Bian prepares a little thin wine, and invites His Excellency Liu Yizhen, the Governor of the Great Jin Dynasty, Yongliang and Qin Sanzhou, General Anxi, Lingyong, and the Assassin of the Eastern Qin Prefecture, to come to the camp for an interview!"

The team leader was satisfied at this point, and said that you should wait a little longer, and I will report it.

The news was reported to the Assassin's Mansion step by step, and Liu Yi was really discussing with the generals, and when he heard that Helian had this invitation. It's all a bit of a stunt. However, this matter is not difficult to decide, one is that Liu Yizhen will never step into the enemy camp, and the other is that all his subordinates dare not risk the detention of the commander to agree to him to go. Although Liu Yizhen is a hairy boy and is really useless in fighting, if he becomes an enemy hostage, it is not difficult to imagine the blow to the morale of the army. He couldn't go, but Helian Bi's Hongmen banquet couldn't help but go, because if no one went, the Huns would be arrogant. Humiliating the Jin army under the city, saying that you don't even have the courage to drink a glass of wine with the enemy, and what kind of face is called Beifu Bing, this will also destroy our prestige. Let the soldiers lose trust in their superiors.

Fu Hongzhi couldn't go either. He was the de facto supreme commander, and if the Huns really played tricks to detain him or even kill him outright, the consequences would be unbearable for the defenders.

Who goes?

Mao Xiuzhi, Chen Song, Guo Xu, Hu Luzheng and other generals all asked for their lives. Each does not give in to each other, and Liu Yizhen can't bear to directly designate candidates. In the end, I had to use the lottery method to decide.

Guo Xu! He grabbed the ball of paper with the word "out" written on it.

Chen Song and Hu Luzheng said almost in unison, I will accompany you.

There was no need for Guo Xu to refuse, Fu Hongzhi directly gave a death order. It is forbidden for any of them to go with them! In case the Huns were deceitful, it would be too unwise to lose two generals at once. In fact, if Helian didn't play tricks, it would be safe for anyone to go; If he set up an ambush, no matter how many people accompany him, he will be buried with him!

Guo Xu is very calm. In his opinion, it is nothing more than to come back sideways drunk or lose his life sideways, but if he is destined to fall into the trap, then he is biting with his teeth and taking a cushion with him. If God wasn't so ruthless, he would even want to die and drag Helian Bi to him.

But this time it was an extraordinary expedition, and he had to say goodbye to Xiaoqiao and his son.

He thought that Xiaoqiao would cry, but after the latter listened, he lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked up and said Then I will go with you!

Guo Xu never expected Xiaoqiao to choose like this, and he couldn't argue for a while, so he could only shake his head desperately:

"You must not go! In case this is a trap, I can't let the child be without a father and a mother all at once. ”

Xiao Qiao said that I believe Helian will not be murderous. He invited Yizhen to the banquet, in fact, he already knew that Yizhen would not go, but whether he went or not was a winner. If Yizhen goes, he can show off his strength in front of him, scare a hairy child, intimidate his courage, make him lose his heart and make more mistakes; If Yizhen doesn't go, it can be used to humiliate the Beifu soldiers and hit their morale. But if he detains or even kills a child, he will definitely be laughed at by the world, and even his own people will be despised by him. What's even stricter is that it completely offended Liu Yu. I think Helian Bobo is very cunning, he wants to take Chang'an, but he is already an enemy of Xianbei, and he may not want to form a blood feud with Song Gong again. If the Duke of Song was willing to return some land and join forces with the Xianbei people to attack him, he would even be in danger of destroying the country.

Guo Xu thought about it quietly, and couldn't help but feel that Xiao Qiao was from a big official family, although she was a woman, she could see it more clearly than him, a blacksmith.

Xiao Qiao took Guo Xu's hand and gently touched the calluses in his palm:

"When my father was alive, he told me a lot of stories about his mission. He said that the Hu people were tigers and wolves in their bones, and they never sympathized with the weak, but only obeyed the strong. If the envoys cannot overwhelm them in force, they will despise him and despise him for killing; On the contrary, if the ministers are strong and cannot take away their will, and they do not fall behind in their verbal exchanges, they will have a sense of reverence, and they will not be lightly poisoned. The last time you fought them in Chiyang, they were in awe, and they were the first to win in terms of momentum; But since the Huns have a feast. There must be some literary drama, which requires sharp words to not fall behind. And this is exactly what you are not good at, and even Hu Luzheng is much better than you. ”

Guo Xu thought that he was indeed clumsy. smiled innocently, and Xiaoqiao also laughed:

"So I'm going with you, they can't take advantage of it!"

Guo Xu still can't make up his mind:

"Then will they laugh at our Jin army and let a woman be sent to follow the envoy?"

Xiao Qiao said that the Hu people are different from the Han people, their women do a lot of things, so men do not despise them. If I can help you defeat them, they will not only not laugh at them, but they will respect them.

Xiaoqiao no longer reasoned with him, and went to the inner room to finish breastfeeding the child. Quietly told Sù Qingyu that if she didn't come back by night, she would take the child and go to Xue Mei'er. He quickly wrote a text message, stuffed it in the child's swaddling clothes, and entrusted the child and Qingyu to Xue Meier and his wife. Once she and Guo Xu have something, be sure to change the child's surname to Chen and call him Chen Xidu, and don't tell him the truth. When he grows up, he will tell his biological father that he is a big hero. sacrificed his life for the country; His mother couldn't bear him to go alone, so she decided to accompany him to the end.

settled down, put on a costume, and rode a horse with Guo Xu to the Thorn Mansion. asked Liu Yizhen to send his own luxurious Nanmu carriage. Seeing that Xiaoqiao was unstoppable, everyone felt that what she said was reasonable, so they could only accompany the couple to the north gate. Watching them one proudly on the horse, the other graceful in the car. Like a newlywed traveling, follow the Hun envoy to the enemy camp. The brothers of the hussars heard that Guo Xu and his wife went to the banquet for Liu Yizhen. While sweating for the eldest brother, he secretly complained that Liu Yizhen had no courage.

Guo Xu and his wife came to the Hun camp, and Helian was already in position at the door of the barracks. Seeing a ride and a bicycle from a distance, Helian was a little puzzled. If Liu Yizhen came in person, he would never be so light-hearted; But if he hadn't come, who would have been qualified to use such a magnificent carriage. In the sound of drums, he stepped forward and found that the person who got out of the car was actually a beautiful woman, and he didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd of the Jin army. Look at the person who helped this woman get out of the car, although he had no armor or armor, but just by dismounting, he knew that he was a general. I vaguely felt familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it. When I heard the name Guo Xu, I suddenly remembered that this was the fierce general of the Jin army who lured him into the ambush circle in Chiyang a year ago, and he was full of heart for a while to knock over the five-flavor bottle. Hearing that Xiaoqiao is Guo Xu's wife, I was impressed by this woman: Among Han women, it is really rare to have such courage!

In the whispers of the Xiongnu officers and soldiers, Guo Xu and his wife entered Helian Xuan's big tent. As soon as you enter, you can smell the aroma of barbecue. In the center of the tent, there was a large pile of charcoal, roasting a whole cow, and two strong men turned the iron frame and turned the cow body with force, and the butter squeaked and fell on the charcoal, making a stinging and stinging temptation sound. When the cow's belly turned around, I saw that there was something inside, and on closer inspection, it seemed to be a sheep. Around the charcoal fire, there were many sticks stuck vertically, and they were full of fish! The smell of grilled fish mingles with the smoke of roasting whole beef, creating an appetite that will last a lifetime. Only then did I notice that this was a large cowhide tent that could accommodate at least 300 people, and a round skylight was opened on the dome, and the smoke of the charcoal fire drifted away from there, leaving the warmth of the tent. Xiao Qiao once stayed in the Xianbei military camp, and it is not uncommon for such a big tent, but Guo Xu was amazed, remembering what the madman said when he was alive, "Southerners don't dream of camels, and northerners don't dream of elephants; The northerners don't believe that the southerners have a hundred-foot ship, and the southerners don't believe that the northerners have a thousand-foot big tent."

The guest and the host sat down, and Helian said that I sincerely invited General Liu Yizhen to the banquet, maybe he had a misunderstanding and refused to appreciate it! Could it be that he really thought that I would put on a grand banquet to detain him or even kill him?

Guo Xu has just learned Xiaoqiao's analysis, and at this time, he is now learning and selling, and he is familiar with it:

"To tell the truth, the people below are worried that you will use this trick, but Yizhen Assassin Shi himself is not worried, he said that you are the prince of Great Xia, and everyone in the world will watch what you do, and you will not have the idea of doing this!"

Helian Xuan's face was slightly red, he actually didn't have such a "thought of doing the next thing". Fortunately, the charcoal fire reflected his face, so that the guests would not see that he had a ghost in his heart. Guo Xu was unaware of this, and said to himself:

"Assassin Shi said that although he is in a high position, he is a child after all, and without him, the Beifu soldiers will still win the battle; If Daxia kills him, it will not damage the enemy, but only ruin his reputation. If General Helian does such a thing, who will dare to deal with him in the future? I'm afraid that even the subjects of Great Xia will despise it! ”

It's still the meaning of Xiaoqiao, but Guo Xu learns and uses it. With his thick eyebrows and big eyes, he has a different kind of shock. Xiaoqiao can't help but be surprised that her stupid husband is actually still an inner show.

Helian was secretly sweating on his back. That's how he persuaded himself not to kill. Invite Liu Yizhen here. To persuade him to withdraw from Chang'an, the two sides can only use swords and soldiers. Do not harm his life.

"Since Yizhen Thorn Shi thinks so clearly, why don't you come?"

After speaking, his head tilted, and there was a hint of sarcasm on his face, watching how Guo Xu answered.

This is the question that Guo Xu thinks about the most, and he can say whatever he thinks at the moment:

"He said that he was unaccustomed to eating the poor food of the Huns, and if General Helian was willing to enter Chang'an, he would entertain him with food and wine!"

Helian was stunned, of course he didn't know that this was Guo Xu's statement. And this rhetoric is too much like the style of a thirteen-year-old noble son. This sentence has no military atmosphere, but it is related to the taste of the Hu and Han and the rich and poor of material resources, which lifted the Han people to the sky at once, reduced the Huns to the ground, and instantly sent Helian Bi's pride back to the barbaric era when Ru Mao drank blood. The latter snorted for a long time, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said that it seems that today I have to entertain the two of you with the shoddy food that the noble son looks down on.

Guo Xu said, I like your way of eating. I came to you without eating, my stomach growled, can I eat?

Helian beckoned. Several samurai came in and poured milk wine on everyone in the tent, and one man with a knife cut the charred beef from the roast cow. It was served on a small plate and placed on the low table in front of Guo Xu first. There are no chopsticks on the low table, so you can only use your hands. Guo Xu pinched the beef. When I dipped it in salt and put it in my mouth, I immediately felt a fresh and rich aroma of meat spread all over my teeth and cheeks. After swallowing it, I couldn't help but applaud continuously. Xiao Qiao tasted it carefully. It is different from the Yizhou beef, Jingzhou beef and Xuzhou beef that I have eaten in my life, although it is not cooked enough, but it has a real taste in it, think about the Huns who live on this kind of food all year round, no wonder it is so wild.

Although Helian was full of scheming, he was also infected by Guo Xu's arrogance, and liked his unpretentious bearing, so he raised the wine bowl and asked him to do it. Guo Xu killed a bowl, felt that the milk wine was mellow but not strong, liked it very much, and called to come again. After a few bowls of wine, Helian said that General Guo didn't look like a southerner at all. Guo Xu said that my ancestral home is Guanzhong, and my grandfather's generation only went to Jiangdong. As soon as Helian saw that the conversation was on the right track, he immediately said that General Guo had never thought about staying in Guanzhong. Guo Xu said that I am in Guanzhong, what is there to stay? I want to bring back the coffins of my grandfather and my parents. Helian Bi said I mean that if Great Xia captures Guanzhong and those southerners have to go back, can you stay and serve Great Xia? Guo Xu was stunned for a moment, and wanted to fight back with righteous words, but when he saw Xiaoqiao, he suddenly had an idea.

"My ancestral home is Guanzhong, and my wife's ancestral home is Huiji, and the two of us will not be separated. The only way is for the Great Jin Dynasty to rule the world, and Guanzhong and Jiangdong are within our territory, so that I can accompany my wife back to Jiangdong Province, but I don't have to say goodbye to Guanzhong forever! ”

Without waiting for Helian to speak, a middle-aged man opposite Guo Xu jumped up, threw the knife in his hand on the low table, and pointed at Guo Xu through the charcoal fire:

"Don't talk big! Now that Great Xia is about to take the pass, what other tricks do you have besides hiding in Chang'an City as a shrinking turtle? ”

Here it comes! The Hongmen Banquet is the Hongmen Banquet, no matter how fragrant the beef is, how sweet the wine is.

Guo Xu looked at this person, and Yu Guang saw that Helian had no intention of stopping it, and knew that it was all arranged in advance. Nai calmed down and beckoned the samurai to pour him full of wine:

"To tell the truth, our trick is to stay in Chang'an City, and when you are almost consumed, we will come out and beat you hard. There is no shortage of food, water, or soldiers in Chang'an City, and the soldiers are in a hurry, and they are more fierce than wolves! ”

Helian Huang suddenly laughed:

"General Guo, it seems that we know wolves better than you. The person talking to you is an expert in wolf fighting, and he is also one of the best wrestling masters in our army. ”

Guo Xu's heart instantly flashed with what Hu Luzheng said. On weekdays, he has studied with Hu Luzheng many times, but he is always thrown into the dark by Hu Luzheng. Hu Luzheng said that wrestling not only relies on strength, but also relies on flexibility and flexibility, which is precisely your shortcoming. Wrestlers are all about melee combat, and as long as you don't let him get close to you and don't give him a chance to unload your strength, you won't suffer. To put it bluntly, you rely on your height, legs, legs, and arms, before he pounces into your arms. Or a punch, or a kick. Just hit him, don't fight him. And don't let him grab you by the arm or leg, once that's the case, he can take you down.

At this time, the Hun wrestler had already walked to the empty field of the big tent, jumped over and over again, and beckoned to Guo Xu to challenge. Guo Xu clenched his fist at Helian and walked to a place three steps away from the wrestler and stopped. He stared into the other's eyes, keeping an eye on the shoulder that might reveal his intentions. The wrestler circled around Guo Xu, and suddenly pounced on him with open arms, wanting to hug Guo Xu's waist. Guo Xu had already flashed in his mind several times about how to deal with him. At this point, he jumped up and flew his right foot in the air. The top of the foot's boot arced briefly in the air, meeting the wrestler's left cheek. After a clear crackling sound, several bloody teeth flew out of the wrestler's mouth, bringing out the man's heavy screams. While Guo Xu stood firm, the wrestlers also returned to the ground, but one was upright and the other was lying flat.

Except for Helian Bi, all the Huns in the tent jumped up. shouted one after another:

"You're foolish, can this be considered wrestling?"

Guo Xu didn't look at them, picked up two grilled fish by the fire, and put them on the case between himself and Xiaoqiao. After sitting down, he bowed his hand to Helian Xuan:

"You and I are both war generals, and we should know what it means to be a soldier and not get tired of cheating. Whatever it was, it was he who lay down. It's me who sits, and that's enough. Didn't you also attack Chang'an a few days ago? ”

Guo Xu made a quick decision, and Xiaoqiao couldn't wait to stand up and applaud. It's not unusual for him to be able to fight. The key is that I don't know who he learned the word chicken and dog thief from. After thinking about it, I felt that Liu Yizhen should have been scolded like this and collected by her husband.

Helian smiled awkwardly and beckoned for someone to lift the wrestler who had passed out to the ground. If this had happened in front of his father, the hapless wrestler would have lost his head in a coma!

Roast beef, roast mutton, roast fish, milk skin, cheese, mutton bone soup, after five flavors, Helian made a gesture, a Hun man walked outside the tent and clapped his hands, brought in a few young Hun men in costumes, accompanied by the Qiang flute, Xun and pipa, they danced. It is a bearded eyebrow, and the dance posture can not be described gracefully, but can only be said to be strong and vigorous, and it is more like galloping horses and chopping. After the dance began, a handsome-faced Hun officer stood up and sang a song in Chinese:

"Mo Dao Chang'an Tie,

Coming from the north.

Ten thousand horses step on thunder,

Dancing ice and snow. ”

Singing this, the dancers stomp their feet together, sonorously harmonizing.

"The Huns have a past,

Bai Deng is known all over the world.

Henkel is also tied,

Son of Helian Tian. ”

After singing and dancing, the singer Si Siwen toasted Guo Xu. Helian said that General Guo can also have a song.

Guo Xu secretly thanked Xiao Qiao for accompanying him, otherwise although he won the martial arts drama just now, the literary drama at this time would definitely be embarrassing. The lyrics sung by the Hun singers, he could roughly hear that it was a demonstration, but he couldn't understand what the mechanism was, so he could only see how Xiaoqiao coped.

Xiao Qiao smiled slightly, got up and saluted Helian Xuan:

"The clumsy man is a rough man, and he must not be as good as this gentleman in song. Why don't you let him dance the sword, and the little girl will make a song! ”

The Xiongnu singer used the allusion of the Xiongnu in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty when the Huns besieged Liu Bang in Baideng, said that the Hun cavalry was invincible in the world, and also used Helian in the Xiongnu language to mean heaven, implying that they wanted to seize the world. She had already made up her mind that she couldn't force it. If she wants, she can respond to them by taking Wei Qing and Huo Qu to plow the court and sweep the holes. But first, it seems stingy, and secondly, the woman makes heroic words, after all, the momentum is insufficient, so it is better to win it with grace. It was attached to Guo Xu, asking him to dance as slowly as possible, and the more serious the better. Guo Xu had to slow down, because the stamina of mare's milk wine had already risen, and he couldn't be as fast as lightning. A scimitar of the Huns came and swung it slowly and heavily.

Xiaoqiao wanted to come to the Huns' pipa, and by the way, she called the Hun youths outside the door to listen. They didn't dare to step into the big tent without Helian Xuan's order, but when they saw a Han woman about to sing, they all rushed over and surrounded the big tent several times. Xiaoqiao tried the pipa, found a note in Jiangnan minor, plucked the strings with her hand, and sang softly:

"Helan Mountain is like a picturesque screen,

The Hun daughter burst into tears.

I don't know the suffering of the people,

Often to the south to raise sword soldiers.

My father buried his bones under the Great Wall,

My brother's severed head Jinjiling,

Last year, the lover entered the customs,

Leave your name in the death register.

Although the southern soil is good and uninhabitable,

What a million acres of grassland.

A hundred battles and riches follow the princes,

Ten thousand deaths and sores left the people.

Heaven has set Helan as a boundary,

Hu Han could not have been superior.

Persuade the king not to dance the scimitar snow,

Cherish the love of children on the prairie! ”

Singing here, the pipa swallows quietly, the voice is low, and after a round of fingers, it ends gently:

"Helan Mountain is like a picturesque screen,

The Hun daughter is in tears"

After the singing and piano had subsided, there was silence in the tent, and all the murderous, vicious, and ferocious aura was soothed by this crying song. Suddenly, the Huns outside the tent cried, and although the nobles and generals in the tent were reprimanded by the lyrics, they were also moved by the sadness in the song, and they hid their faces and wept. Guo Xu stopped moving, glanced at the scimitar in his hand, and sighed:

"So much iron, why not use it to make hoes, you have to forge so many weapons! It's something that drinks human blood! ”

After speaking, he slashed at the ground violently, and cut off the scimitar.

The Huns outside the tent couldn't help but applaud when they saw him with such divine power.

Helian had an uncontrollable sense of failure rolling in his heart. He originally wanted to show the majesty of Great Xia, kill Guo Xu's sharpness, let the latter return to Chang'an City with a sense of frustration, and then transmit this frustration to his superiors, colleagues, and subordinates. Who knew that it was their battalion of Hun warriors who were defeated. He couldn't help but want to turn his face and hack the Han couple to death on the spot, but this could only make the enemy more bitter, and these Hun children outside the tent would not agree to him to do such a shameless deed.

It doesn't matter, being beaten on the wine field is a bird! Victory or defeat on the battlefield is what matters.

The general trend of Chang'an is irreversible, so let the southern barbarians enjoy the dregs of the last bit of victory.

It's a pity that such a warrior will be burned and can't be used by me.

Thinking of this, he got up and toasted Guo Xu:

"Getting to know General Guo today, Helian is fortunate to have three lives. The general and his wife are both outstanding people, and they should know the current affairs and know how to choose trees to live in. Don't say anything superfluous, my thoughts, General Guo understands, I hope to return to Chang'an, and suggest to Yizhen Assassin Shi: Instead of the two armies fighting and bloodshed, it is better for your army to give up Chang'an, and the whole division will retreat to Jiangdong, Daxia guarantees that there will not be a single soldier to stop it, and there will be generous gifts! The land lost by the Great Jin here can be brought back from the Xianbei people, if the Duke of Song sends a division to attack Wei, the Great Xia will definitely send troops to echo! ”

After listening to this, Guo Xu smiled slightly, and said that we have understood the general's good intentions. However, I advise the general not to have illusions, Chang'an was obtained by my Beifu soldiers in exchange for human heads, and if it is given away, the fallen soldiers will not agree, and neither will the government and the opposition. You and I are fortunate to drink today, and we are also fated in our previous lives. If you want to truly turn enemies into friends, you can only withdraw your troops, otherwise the day the two armies will clash, that is, the end of fate. Guo Xu can only fight hard, nothing else!

At this point, the host and guest had nothing to say, Helian Bi gave off the banquet, and a group of people sent Guo Xu and his wife to the gate of the camp. After Guo Xu got on the horse and Xiaoqiao boarded the car, Helian beckoned, and a Hun colonel sent a long wooden box, asking Guo Xu to hand it over to Liu Yizhen himself.

The couple returned to Chang'an, accompanied by the previous Xiongnu envoy.

The Chen Song brothers have been looking at the city, and they are overjoyed to see Guo Xu and his wife retreating. When the two of them saw Liu Yizhen and Fu Hongzhi, they told them as they were, and everyone gave them a thumbs up, praising the two of them for fulfilling their mission and giving the Great Jin Dynasty a prestige.

Helian Xuan's gift box, everyone didn't dare to open it for a long time, for fear that it would be harmful to people, but in the end, Guo Xu opened it himself.

No surprises.

Not only are the things not valuable, they are simply shabby, and Liu Yizhen almost thinks that Helian is playing a prank.

A bony piece of firewood!

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what kind of trick it was.

Suddenly, Fu Hongzhi shouted:

Broken! (To be continued......)
