. There were only Sima Dan, Cao Lie, Deng Bing, Long Er, Shi Jing and Xiao Min, who suddenly appeared, with a pale face and a cold face in the military tent.

Cao Lie analyzed: "Prince, the Huns claim to be 300,000, and the soldiers are divided into two routes, how can you say that peace is peaceful?" Even if the peace envoy is true, to say something heart-wrenching, the prince ...... If the prince returns to Beijing...... Fear of the unexpected! ”

When Deng Shi and the others heard Cao Lie say this, they both nodded solemnly.

Long Er and Sima Dan glanced at each other, but Xiao Min was still indifferent.

Cao Lie: "Either the prince's henchman or my brother here, I don't have to hide it from the prince...... During these days, we thought that the prince was really a good general, and the army was full of hot-blooded men, so I couldn't help but say this to the prince. ”

Sima Dan nodded: "I understand, since everyone believes in me, can I ask a question, what is going on with the death of the old prince?" ”

Between men, since it is time to go straight to the point, it is the time to let go and there is no turning back.

Cao Lie led Deng Shi and the others to kneel in front of the prince: "The fact is that we are also responsible. We, the military men, don't understand the affairs of the palace in the first place, but the emperor himself has no son, but he was forced by the clan to set up a prince, and we can all understand if we don't like it. So when the two fathers-in-law on the left and right threatened us to report the prince to the top, we seemed to understand what was going on. ”

"So you falsely accused him?"

"The Old Prince...... It's not a traitor, it's just that he is going to die sooner or later, so why should we be buried with him? To be honest, we really thought like this at the time, and the environmental prince of the outer land also saw that we were alone, and we had no father or mother, so how could we protect others? Moreover, they also promised to change the guard. ”

"They broke their word."

"So we suddenly feel that the old prince ...... It may not be the emperor's intention, he died at the hands of the two fathers-in-law on the left and right, as well as the people behind ......! ”

Xiao Min suddenly interjected: "Prince! I don't think there is any doubt about their loyalty, and we'll discuss how to deal with it! ”

A "prince" stabbed Sima Dan's heart to a suffocation.

Cao Lie said: "We think, how can there be such a quick turn in this long way back and forth?" If the prince returns to the court with the peace envoy, in case they detain the prince with a "collaborator", it will be a mortal crime! ”

Sima Dan's face changed, he really didn't expect anyone to do this.

Xiao Min nodded: "General Cao's words are reasonable, and it is also a capital crime to be afraid of the war, in short, returning to Beijing now can only fall into their plan." ”

Cao Lie: "The only way to do this is to ......" to make a "kill" gesture.

Xiao Min said in a deep voice: "General Cao is loyal, what does the prince think?" ”

Sima Dan was quite grateful to Cao Lie and the three of them for their determination to let go, and was speechless for a while.

Long Er smiled: "Prince, if we are still here guerrilla, and it is not the emperor's intention to summon us back, then we must be the heroes of this victory, Zhao Yan and the two marquis used money to buy peace, but gave us the first credit!" ”

If Zhao Yan and Liangzhou really sent Rouran away with money, then the prince was alone and burned the Huns' grain and grass, which must be above the two marquis, and the emperor would not be rewarded for his merits?

It's just the most normal thought.

Xiao Min shook his head: "In this case, our casualties will definitely increase, and the Huns may cooperate with them to attack us." ”

Cao Lie hurriedly said: "We are willing to be loyal to the prince!" ”

Xiao Min shook his head again: "The general and all the brothers are loyal ministers, and the prince will not sacrifice you in vain!" ”

Cao Lie and the other three had tears in their eyes and were speechless for a while.

Sima Dan clapped his fists: "Exactly, we attacked the Huns in order to protect our family and defend the country, and dying in battle like this is the real destination of men, but if it is for me alone, I will definitely not allow it." ”

Xiao Min saw that Cao Lie and the three of them were very emotional, and made a look at Long Er.

Long Er: "There is a plan, for the prince and the generals to refer to, although we are guerrillas, but we can retreat to the west, leaning towards the countries of the Western Regions, with our maneuvers and good horses, they should not be able to catch up with us, and then when the battle is decided, the brothers can calmly come back to receive the merit." ”

Sima Dan frowned: "In this way, if there are any rumors, these brothers can't even return to their roots, how can this work?" ”

Xiao Min raised his voice: "At least everyone's lives will be saved, and if there are any rumors in the future, you can find another way." ”

Sima Dan shook his head: "I am already to blame at every turn, and I have to stay away from the battlefield, the brothers will only give me a burden, don't worry!" Don't act rashly, I have a way. ”

Xiao Min was furious: "You just don't listen to my advice? In that case, I'm not interested here! ”

Sima Dan was shocked: "Xiaomin! I have a better way, you wait for me for half a day! I'll explain to you, if you don't agree, do as you say, what? ”

Xiao Min snorted coldly and brushed his sleeves away.

Cao Lie was anxious: "Aunt ...... Mother is right, the prince has to think twice! ”

Sima Dan nodded: "I have calculated, the brothers brought out this time have been broken in half, and I must make you return to your hometown with the rest of the people, you must listen to me, in short, the family of the dead brother can only be entrusted to you." ”

Long Er nodded: "Prince! Xiao Min enlightened her slowly, as for what the prince's plan is, he must discuss it with us! ”

Outside the Great Wall of Zhaozhou Road, the banners of the Xiongnu are connected, and the camp tents are dense.

The commander of the Western Route Army was Helian of the Xianbei tribe, and at this time he was inspecting the defense of the Great Wall, and by his side was Cai Ban, the leader of the party. These two Huns were the pillars of the Western Route Army, Helian was only twenty miles away, burly, well-defined, with blonde hair tied behind his back, Cai Ban was a stout man, only in his thirties, his hair was tied into two whips, and his two arms were exposed outside the animal skin under the ice and snow, thicker than the thighs of ordinary people.

Helian looked at the soldiers on the Great Wall: "With such a guard, you want to defend against our attack!" ”

Cai Ban: "Da Dan Yu no longer has the ambitions he had in the past, this time there is no army to prepare any siege weapons, fart!" Going south is just an excuse, and being afraid of ghosts is the real reason! ”

"It's understandable to be afraid of ghosts, and you can't rob the colorful rivers and mountains, but you can't say it!"

"Humph! It turns out that Helian is also afraid! ”

"You don't understand! I don't blame you! There is no difference between the ghost side and **, instead of competing with this kind of person for the icy and snowy grassland, why not the warm and comfortable south? The food, play, and living there are not comparable to the grassland, just like a flock of sheep waiting for us to go! There are many men and women in our tribe who voluntarily sold themselves into slavery in the south, and they all say that even if they are slaves there, they are better than our Shan Yu here. ”

"Phew! I don't believe that! ”

"Humph! Let's just say that you haven't seen a big snake peeing! For hundreds of years, there have been many people in our tribe who have communicated with the south, and they all speak the same thing. ”

Cai Ban couldn't help but believe it, he often heard the Xianbei people's statement, and he pointed to the soldiers on the Great Wall: "If it was really so good that our ancestors grabbed it early, could we wait until now?" ”

Helian was thoughtful, but he didn't understand either.

"This can only be said to be a treasure left to us by the Immortal Heaven, but it's a pity that Da Danyu doesn't have the courage!"

"I cāo they are big single, what if Lao Tzu is attacked?"

Helian shook his head: "If the big order is not successful, Rouran will naturally have warriors to kill and replace it, there is no need for us to do this kind of thing!" ”

"So let's leave it at that? The area opened to us by Zhao Hou has no oil and water at all. ”

"We don't have siege ladders or enough arrows, what do you think we can do? Exercise! None of those women raised on thin fields are pretty! ”

"We can do anything! As long as you give the order! ”

Helian smiled and pointed with a horsewhip: "You see that although there is a Great Wall built along the mountain, but the mountain is very sloping, as long as we attack this side, and wait for them to support this side, and then go back to attack the other side, it will not be easy for them to climb this road to go back to rescue, as long as we shoot more arrows at the top of the mountain, we can stop them from saving, so that we can break this section, as long as we occupy that section, the Central Plains is under our feet." ”

Cai Ban was overjoyed: "But Da Danyu told us not to attack first, and besides, what's the use of capturing this section?" ”

"More ransom! But that's not my purpose! ”

"What's that?"

"Since Da Danyu didn't take the road to the south, he had to arrange for us to go west, anyway, now he can't go back to the grassland, there is a battle here, and we can be pioneers when we go west."

That night, the crazy Huns attacked this thing called "Arrow Kettle Pass" like ants, they climbed up according to the climbing rope, and the rain of arrows behind them covered them, and in a blink of an eye, the area of the Great Wall was covered with clusters of arrows.

The soldiers of Zhaozhou Road are also very brave, they support from the west, they just blocked the onslaught of the Huns, the head of the city changed hands several times, when dozens of Huns finally stood hidden in the city, a team of heavy infantry arrived, they used spears to push the Huns back to the edge of the city wall, but those Huns were ferocious, several big men with armpits clamped a few spears, hard to throw the heavy armor soldiers under the wall, they themselves were pierced by other spears, but the break has been opened, the other Huns flashed to the formation with knives to slash and kill, at this time, the Huns behind them poured up dozens, It was seen that this area was about to fall into the hands of the enemy.

At this time, the crossbowmen finally arrived, and when the dense roar sounded, the Huns were attacked one after another, and in the blink of an eye, they wiped out this group of enemies who were in danger of becoming wings.

At this time, a rain of arrows from the Huns came again, and many soldiers who rushed to reinforce were unable to move.

The Xiongnu suddenly turned to concentrate their forces on another section of the Great Wall to the west of the "Arrow Kettle Pass".

This time, it was a tall and strong man with a giant shield who climbed up, and the attack was more dense and the rain of arrows was more fierce.

The soldiers in this area were transferred to support part of the east, but they did not expect that there were ambushes in the west, because at night, the attack from the east was also large, but in the darkness the Jin generals naturally did not know that there was no way to continue, and the attack from the west quickly occupied the city wall position a stone's throw away.

The two sides fought until dawn, and the walls were full of corpses, and even Helian was covered in blood, panting as he watched the sun rise over the horizon.

If the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom are all so brave, this Jin Kingdom is really difficult to attack.

Among the Jin soldiers, there was a young general, whose face was like a crown of jade, but his iron armor was full of bloodstains and flesh, and he was murderous.

"General Zu......!" Jin Bing can be called out by many people.

The person who came saw Helian shouted: "The surname of the general is Chong, you are the headman?" ”

Helian also understands Chinese: "Yes, can you take care of things?" ”

"Zhao Hou has an order, tell you to go back as soon as possible, you see that inside the Great Wall, there are also barren mountains and mountains, and there is nothing you want here."

"Joke! Ha ha! Thousands of our warriors died here! Get back? No. ”

"We've also had a lot of deaths! You didn't turn the city last night, but here you wanted, nothing more than gold and silver! To whom do our dead warriors ask for silver and gold? ”

"The Jin people are rich, but we were born to live in the wilderness, how can anyone cry out for us?"

Zu Chong was silent, and Helian didn't speak either.

Zu Chong waited for a while: "Zhao Hou will discuss gold and silver with Da Dan Yu, if you don't go back, we can only push you down the city!" If you want to borrow some food, then I can call the shots. ”

When the Huns in and below the city heard this, they all cheered in understanding, and the others shouted, and in the blink of an eye, the shouts and echoes of the tide filled the inside and outside of the Great Wall.
