CHAPTER XXI
A few days later, on the way back to Beidaying, Sima Dan immediately called Zuo Yong and You Yong to him.
After the left and right two arrived, Sima Dan immediately ordered to tie up, and the dozens of horses following them were separated, and the left and right people were suddenly frightened and flew out of the sky, and shouted in unison: "The prince is gracious, the prince is gracious!" ”
Sima Dan looked at them coldly, but the others from Xiao Min and below were also stunned, they could no longer imagine that Sima Dan had this momentum, but their hearts also beat wildly, I don't know what Sima Dan wants to do?
Sima Dan smiled faintly: "You two, you think that I will follow you back, and you can make great contributions, right?" ”
"Don't dare...... Can't! ”
"You know it's easy to turn my face and kill you now, don't you? Even if I have to face something when I return to Jingshi, I will be buried with you, I said that you are really lard, aren't you? ”
The cold sweat of the two fell, and Zuo Yong pleaded: "Prince...... Prince! We ......"
"You didn't expect my troops to obey me, did you?"
This is indeed the reason, they really did not expect that these former accomplices would defect this time.
"They're all fierce men, but they lied to you before, but I can give you a chance!"
The left and right were overjoyed when they heard this: "The prince is gracious!" ”
"If I let you go, you will definitely fight back against me when you return to Jingshi!"
"No...... Don't dare, Prince! ”
"But I won't go back to the Beijing Division, General Cao and the Xiaocai Battalion will return to the Beijing Division to report on my behalf!"
Cao Lie was shocked: "Prince! ”
"Hear me out! When they go back, they will be rewarded for their deeds, won't they? Answer me truthfully! ”
The two were at a loss and did not dare to speak.
"If the two of you frame them, for example, if they say that they have lost the crown prince, they will suffer, but I will write the melody and let General Cao present it to the emperor, and this prince will send an envoy to the Western Regions, lead the Xiongnu to the west, and order them to return to Beijing, so that they can enjoy the reward of this great achievement!"
Cao Lie and the others rolled off their horses and shouted: "The prince must not!" ”
Xiao Min was even more stunned, everyone couldn't imagine that the prince would exile himself to complete the Xiao Cavalry Camp.
"Humph! Originally, I came here after nine deaths, and now I can't die, if I want to die, I don't want anyone to be buried with me, these brothers should have a good ending, I will never return to Beijing, they can be regarded as fulfilling their wishes, and the two of you are also called meritorious service, aren't they? ”
The left and right were at a loss, not knowing what Sima Dan wanted.
"I'm going to the Western Regions, one of you will follow me over there, one will accompany Cao Lie back to Beijing, so that they can get a reward, and the other will be released back to Beijing in about two or three years!" Anyway, I don't want to be a prince who will die sooner or later, and I can fulfill my brothers, and I don't hate you two, and I don't want to put them to death. ”
Zuo Yong's reaction was quicker: "Prince...... Does the prince mean that we take what we need in this matter? We have accomplished our task and will ...... Eradicated the thorn in their eye...... At least you can't go back to Chang'an, you don't have to die, these warriors can finally return to Middle-earth, their families have fields and land, and they don't have to be born and die anymore, it's just ...... How do you guarantee our ...... Can the prince keep his promise? ”
"My promise is nothing more than not to return to Middle-earth, I wrote in the memo that if it is not successful, it will be fine if it is dealt with by military law, and my task is to ask the Western Regions to jointly send troops to conquer the Xiongnu! The ancients did not succeed! As for you, since Zuo Yong is more clever, he has been a wolf for so many years...... Scold! Naturally, I know that Youyong has a lot of mortal sins, if my brother can't return home, Youyong will try his best to use your ruined reputation to save his life under my knife, how about it? ”
Zuo Yong didn't expect that he was smart but was mistaken, and he didn't know what to do for a while, but Zuo Yong was even more fully convinced, and he didn't dare to say half a word.
Cao Lie cried: "Why should the prince be like this? Isn't it good for us to follow the prince outside the gate and standby? ”
Sima Dan laughed: "That's just like a rogue, what's the point?" Since you want to play hard, let's play bigger! I've made up my mind! This prince is sent to the Western Regions, and he will not be cut off and swear not to return, magnificent! Say no more! ”
******
Sima Dan said that he would do it, but on the spot, there were four people who were determined to follow the prince, and Cao Lie was going to stay, so he scolded Sima Dan: "Do you want to stay and let the other brothers go home?" It's not called anything, it's called disregarding the life and death of the soldiers! ”
Cao Lie and the others could only insist on giving Sima Dan a ride.
After more than ten days of sending it like this, the two sides finally parted.
Sima Dan has been saying good things to Xiao Min, but he didn't notice that Long Er told Cao Lie when he was leaving: "Back to Beijing, the emperor will reward the Xiao cavalry camp, you find Ban Wu, and enrich the Xiao cavalry camp to 10,000 people to wait for the opportunity, Ban Wu can definitely make the emperor grace you, but we can't make the prince sad, some people who are willing to go home also try to let them go, as long as the core backbone is left, why worry about the big thing?" ”
Cao Lie was overjoyed, hurriedly rolled off the horse, and burst into tears: "Please General Long must protect the prince!" Jingshi has his own presence, General Long, how many offends have been done before! ”
Long Er also dismounted and bowed: "I was originally a Hun to throw back, it is normal for the general to be suspicious, from today on, we will be closer than flesh and blood!" ”
So the two said goodbye in tears.
*******
Ban Wu entered the Qianqing Pavilion and met those cold eyes.
Emperor Longding looked at Ban Wu with eyes like turtles, and Ban Wu knelt down and said: "The minister Ban Wu sees the emperor." ”
"I heard that you must see me, or you will go on a hunger strike?"
"The minister doesn't dare, after the emperor ascended the throne, the old minister has not been able to look up to the sky, the old minister is old, he wants to see the emperor every day, and he doesn't think about tea and dinner!"
"You keep claiming to be a minister, but are you my minister or a minister of the Western Holy Mission?"
"The ministers are Han Chen, Han Chan let Wei, Wei Chan let Jin, and the mandate of heaven is returned, so the minister should be a Jin minister."
"Destiny? Have you not changed your destiny? ”
"Emperor Qi, the ministers have only changed halfway."
“…… Do you want to talk about the "Rome theory"? ”
"The Emperor's ......"
"How many times do you want me to say this? You have written many times this time, you persuaded me to increase my troops to resist the Huns, I have already done it, and you said that you have "no suspicion" of the prince, but I don't! You asked me to send an envoy out of the Western Regions to learn from the wisdom of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and I thought so, you see, I am not obedient to you, but you want to use the system of the Roman State in the West for the Jin Dynasty, how can we accept the barbarian system of the "Senate" and the "Citizens' Assembly"? If you talk nonsense again, don't blame me for not remembering the old love. ”
Faced with such a straightforward refusal, Ban Wu's face turned pale: "That's what the first emperor promised!" The emperor thought that Ban Wu was arrogant, and even took credit for power, didn't he? If the minister and criminal deceive the king, then ask the emperor to surrender the crime. ”
Emperor Longding was also so angry that his eyes were angry, and he was speechless for a while.
The pipe string was originally hidden behind the screen, and he jumped out and knelt down: "The emperor is angry!" Ban Wu is an outsider and does not know the general situation, but their loyalty to the emperor can be seen every day. ”
Long Ding shouted angrily: "He is loyal to the Sima clan, but he may not be to me!" ”
Ban Wu didn't explain again, but Guan String said it badly and pulled Ban Wu out of the Qianqing Pavilion.
Ban Wu was still angry: "Guan String, borrowed luck back then, it has been nearly a hundred years of covenant, if you fail to implement the promise of "sharing the world with the people", the destiny of heaven will return to its original trajectory, the Jin Kingdom...... Barbarian...... Do you know what kind of troubled times it will be? ”
"Emperor Guang had to meet the fairy fate back then, and finally be able to move the heavens with sincerity, so that he could gather and annihilate the Huns in Tongguan with only thousands of people, and the iron car used by Emperor Guang could send out thunder and fire, and the Huns could not resist it, I went in and out of the palace from the emperor since I was a child, and the appearance of the iron car is still very powerful, and it can still move at that time...... Yes! We're all old, but you and I won't forget, right? Ban Wu, the emperor is eating all day long because of the reunification, and he can't sleep at night, let me persuade him again...... You really are! I want to rub his tiger whiskers, we still have decades! ”
******
When Chen Yun returned to Beidaying, she had a feeling of being in a different world, and when she saw Xiang Yun coming out, she desperately wanted to recall the surprise when she saw Xiang Yun's simple expression before, but it was like ten years ago or even like the previous life.
She rode into the village and found that the cavalry under the tent still retained their spirit, which shows that the Huns did not attack here.
Just now a military report said that there had been a fierce battle on the other side of Zhaozhou Road, and she really didn't expect Zhao Hou to really move.
The so-called bribing of the Xiongnu was actually to set aside a territory for them to plunder, and the Xiongnu and the defenders slowly developed from "mutual tacit understanding" to "forming an alliance" from this time.
So when Xiang Yun and the others tearfully asked her to fight, a nameless fire rose in her heart for some reason: "Can't you see that I let them in?" Otherwise, why are they only in the state and not in other places? Can a man with no force and no strategy make my soul take off again? ”
Chen Yun didn't pay attention to the crowd, she only learned yesterday that she had reached an agreement with the Xiongnu, and she eagerly met with a Xiongnu representative who was waiting for her, who was waiting for her in the Beida camp.
If she had known earlier, maybe she wouldn't have left him so early, anyway, there was no threat to safety, but the situation that night was the situation she would not deal with, and it was the only way for her to leave.
Since leaving the Forbidden Palace, it is no longer possible for her to be jealous.
Is that little girl serious to him?
