Chapter 25, the name of the king is the hostage

It is said that Jiang Weizhi, the general of Shu Han, has the guts of an egg - maybe a gallbladder cyst - compared to Shixun's courage is much smaller, and he sometimes looks down on himself, feeling that his courage may be below the average value of human beings......

However, people's courage, both innate factors, more acquired cultivation, is Xun in the past few years in the Qing, Xu, Yan, Ji, Jing several states, even Cao Cao has been blinded, even Liu Bei has been pitted, even Yuan Shao, Liu Biao have played, pride is born of self-confidence, and the courage is several times greater than when you first arrived in your era. If you were still in Lelang for a while, or when you first arrived in Beihai, you asked him to talk to Xiongnu Shan Yu in person? No matter whose head he killed, he wouldn't dare!

But now he was so bold that he dared to face Shan Yu, and not only that, but he also deliberately provoked Yu Fuluo. The so-called "don't hit people in the face, expose people without revealing shortcomings", that is the motto of the weak or the really loyal, now Xun is not so weak, and it has never been related to the word "loyalty", so he likes to slap people in the face the most, exposing people is short - how to say the consequences, the pleasure at that time, like taking drugs, can really make people addictive.

He asked Yu Fuluo to see it from the golden seal alone, this was a slap in the face and a short exposé, because he knew very well that the old man on the other side would not be able to take that thing at all.

Yu Fuluo is the son of the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Qiangqu, and he is the right king. In the fourth year of Zhongping, Zhang Chun colluded with Wuhuan and Xianbei to rebel, and Emperor Ling transferred Xiongnu soldiers to join the campaign, and Yu Fuluo was ordered to lead troops south. But who would have thought that he would only leave on the front foot, and the father Qiang Qu on the back foot would be killed, and the elder of the clan, the Gudu Hou of the Su Bu clan, succeeded Shan Yu. Yu Fuluo was furious when he heard the report, so on the one hand, he claimed to be Shan Yu. On the one hand, an envoy was sent to Luoyang. Request for recognition from the Han Dynasty. Originally, he was Qiangqu's sister-in-law. The right king is the first king under Shan Yu, and he has always been the first heir, so there is a great possibility that this appeal will be successful. But unfortunately, the envoy came to Luoyang, just in time for the death of Emperor Ling, and then He Jin was killed and Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and the court became a pot of porridge, and no one had time to deal with this matter at all.

Yu Fuluo was not recognized or officially appointed by the Han Dynasty. He didn't dare to return to Shan Yuting—it would inevitably lead to war, and he was not sure of victory—so he had to hang a self-styled Shan Yu title, hang around the Hedong area, and later simply settle in Pingyang. Two years later, the new Shan Yu's Gudu Hou died, and the elders simply stopped setting up Shan Yu and convened a council of elders to govern the whole clan. Although from then on, the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu was left with only one Yu Fuluo, but the Shan Yu Golden Seal given by the Han Dynasty was still in the Shan Yu Court in Xihe County, and was pinched in the hands of the elders. Yu Fuluo didn't have the courage to grab it.

It's Xun who is clear about this, and he was half-tempted at first. I was also worried that this time Yu Fuluo led the troops to defend Emperor Han Xian, and there would be a new seal, but when I saw Yu Fuluo's angry state, it was down-to-earth - this guy still didn't get the seal. Thinking about it, Emperor Xian escaped from Chang'an, and the materials around him were extremely scarce, and even in order to reward the leaders of the Kansai and Hedong armies who escorted him, he picked up a stone from the side of the road and carved two knives, even if it was a seal - this is all contained in the history - where did he still have gold for Yu Fuluo to engrave? At most, it is to write a blank check: and after I return to Luoyang, I will send an envoy to Shan Yuting to help the secretary ask for a seal.

Therefore, the more annoyed Yu Fuluo became, the more down-to-earth Shixun's heart became, and he smiled coldly at the moment: "Since there is no single golden seal, how can you prove that you are single Yu?" I only know that you and others used the excuse of protecting the Son of Heaven, but they burned and slaughtered all the way, looted the soldiers and girls, and were the bandits in Hedong, what did you say about the Hun army! A certain official who is a dignified man does not talk to thieves. Then go back and slaughter the captives first, and if you want to attack the city, then come and attack it. Our army is thirty miles behind me, and we will be able to reach it in a moment, and when the time comes, you will be able to give you all the heads, and you will die a day or two later than those in the city! As he spoke, he turned his horse's head and pretended to leave—in fact, he was planning to hide behind Sun Wen.

"Wait!" Yu Fuluo Qiang suppressed his anger and raised his horsewhip, "What conditions do you have to release King Zuoguli?" If you want to ransom it, just report the number! He estimated that it would not be difficult for him to defeat the hundred Han cavalry in front of him, but it would not be so easy to capture Yanshi City, not to mention that the other party also claimed to have reinforcements behind? Of course, the most critical problem is that there were only so many nobles he brought from Shan Yuting to the Central Plains that day, and he also pointed out that they would support him in the future to return to Shan Yuting and truly inherit Shan Yu's position.

The people of Yufuluo are poor and short-minded, and although they are so angry that they smoke from all their mouths, they really can't afford to take this risk.

If Shixun hadn't predicted in advance that Fura might have such a dilemma, he really wouldn't dare to go out of the city to talk, but even if he dared to come out, he was afraid that the other party would be carried away by anger, so he simply ignored it and insisted on coming - of course, even so, that face still had to be slapped, otherwise it would be like a fish bone stuck in his throat, and he would have to be uncomfortable for many days. Now look at it, hey, your brother is good, and he is quite knowledgeable about current affairs - well, Lao Tzu will come and talk to you about the conditions.

At the moment, he put his face on the face: "A certain official of the Han Dynasty, and he is not a bandit robbery, how can I ask you for any ransom?" If you want to take King Zuogu Li and the others back, unless you send back all the Han people you have looted recently, both men and women, to the city. As for the riches you have plundered, they are considered a reward for your escort—a certain lord will not come to deal with you in large quantities! ”

When Yu Fuluo heard this, he gritted his teeth fiercely: "Okay, I promised you." Before sunset tonight, the Han people were sent to Yanshi City. I only hope that you will keep your word, and don't abuse the king of Zuogu Li. Shi Xun sneered: "The Celestial Empire has been surrounded by the Quartet with faith and righteousness, how can there be a reason to break its promise!" But you can be careful, I know the names of several of them, if one is found to be less than one, the head of the dog of the king of Zuogu will be cut off on the spot! ”

Shi Xun really didn't expect that in just one or two days after the Hun soldiers came to the suburbs of Luoyang, they would capture thousands of Han people—not counting the ones killed by them—and at dusk that day, they were driven to the city by three Hun envoys. Xiahou Lan ordered someone to open a small crack in the city gate, only allowing two people to pass through, and when they came in, they held down and searched to make sure that they did not bring weapons, so they separated men and women, and first divided the camp and detained them.

The Xiongnu envoy came to Shixun and asked him to keep his promise and let go of King Zuogu Li and others. Shi Xun shook his head lightly: "I haven't counted yet, how can I release someone?" "Tell a messenger to go out of the city to inform Shan Yu, he wants to find out whether the Huns still have Han people in private possession, and when the point is clear, at the latest around dawn, he will drive the king of Zuogu Li and others out of the city with all their tails.

So he took Sun Wen and a few other servants, and it was Xun Shi Shiran who came to the camp where the female Han people were detained. As soon as they entered the camp, they knelt down in front of "Hulala", and the women wept bitterly and pleaded at the same time, asking Shixun to let them go back to their hometowns. Seeing this, Shi Xun couldn't help but have a slightly sour nose, and immediately raised his hand and said loudly: "You and the others are all the people of my Han Dynasty, and I am an official of the imperial court, how can I hurt you?" This time, he redeemed you from the hands of the Hu people, and when Hu Cai retreated, he would let you return to his hometown. Don't be noisy anymore...... Don't be noisy...... Do you hear that? Shut up! ”

Originally, there were three women racing in the vegetable field, and the five women were like duck ponds, and there were hundreds of thousands of women here, all of whom were frightened and sad, and the crying fathers and mothers were noisy. Shi Xun didn't even scream a few times to no avail, and finally had to ask Sun Wen to come out - Sun Wen followed his instructions and shouted in a loud voice: "Shut up!" Whoever dares to speak casually will drive her out of the city and return her to those Hu Qi! ”

Sun Yunan's mouth shouted, and even the fence around the camp shook three times in a row, and the original group of female porridge immediately became silent. Shi Xun breathed a long sigh of relief, so he arched his hand and asked in a loud voice: "Among you, is there a daughter of Cai Zhonglang?" ”

After asking, after waiting for a long time, it was still silent, and no one spoke at all. Shi Xun couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and asked patiently: "A certain Yanzhou is engaged in Shi Xun, on the order of my lord Cao Mengde, to save the daughter-in-law of Bo Cai Gong, does anyone know her whereabouts?" ”

Finally, a soft voice sounded in the crowd: "The concubine body is ...... Is Meng Degong okay? ”

Shi Xun hurriedly asked the soldier to hold the torch and follow the sound to pass over, and saw a woman slowly straighten up, hang her head slightly, first brush her forehead, and then put her hands on her knees and give a slight salute. Shi Xun took a look and saw that this woman was in her early twenties, wearing a hairpin cloth skirt, and her appearance was very ordinary...... But there is a saying, called "Wang Yan, Xi Shi, the beautiful women in the world, strict makeup, light makeup is also good, rough clothes messy hair, do not hide the national color", although the woman in front of her is not a national color, but the same plain and even a little sloppy appearance, but it is also unable to hide her unique temperament - it is likely to be the only literary young woman temperament in the world!

It is a real literary and artistic style, whether it is the flow of eyes or the swing of limbs, it is all just right, but it is not lost, it does not appear too humble, and the etiquette is very thoughtful and decent. Shi Xun stared into her eyes and saw that those bright eyes exuded a true intellectual brilliance - it was not the vulgar people who dared to call themselves intellectual women in later generations wearing a pair of flat glasses and wearing a professional suit. Se-hoon didn't know her at all, and he didn't need to know her, but with just one look, he was immediately sure - yes, this is the person I'm looking for!

- Cai Yan, the original word Zhaoji, later avoided Sima Zhaozhi and was commonly known as "Cai Wenji", a female poet and writer in Chinese history, and the most famous woman in this era - the sable cicada in folklore, which is naturally not counted. (To be continued......)
