Chapter 968: The wind is sluggish and the dew is cold

Iron Horse Jingo, in the morning wind, with an icy chill.

The morning breeze caressed, Han Mo, the commander of the Yan Army, and Han Xuanling Tiekui, several generals of the Middle Route Army, were waiting on horses by a small river, and the green grass leaves of the grass by the river were rolling with crystal dew.

Suddenly, Tie Kui said: "Come here!" ”

Eleven rode fast horses and galloped, the first one was the imperial historian Jiang Siyuan, behind him, there were ten palace guards who followed him to protect him, when he set off from Yanjing City, the emperor gave him fifty Golden Palace warriors, but they were all brave and good at fighting.

Jiang Siyuan wore a brand-new doctor's robe today, wore a crown, galloped over, stopped a few meters in front of Han Mo, and then arched his hand and said: "General Han, I've been waiting for a long time!" ”

Han Mo shook his head and said with a smile: "Lord Jiang shoulders the heavy responsibility of persuading the country, and he is doing great things for the country, so if he waits a little longer, it should be." ”

Jiang Siyuan said with a straight face: "General Han, no matter what the reason, you can hand over such a mission to this official, and this official is deeply honored. This official went this time, and he wanted to make Emperor Wei surrender in Kaicheng with his incorruptible tongue, so that Liming would suffer less and the soldiers on both sides would shed less blood. ”

Han Mo urged him to take two steps forward and sighed: "Lord Jiang, my Dayan is a dignified country, and I must act first and then soldier. If the Wei people don't talk to us, let's talk to them about the army. He arched his hand and said: "Jiang Yushi has entered the city this time, everything must be taken care of!" ”

Jiang Siyuan laughed and said: "Don't worry, general, even if the Wei people are stubborn and difficult to persuade to surrender, as the so-called two countries fight each other, if they don't kill them, the Wei people should understand this truth." He said in a deep voice: "Take it!" ”

came up from behind and rode up, and respectfully presented a sword to Jiang Siyuan.

Jiang Siyuan held the sword horizontally, "choked", pulled out the sharp blade, and said solemnly: "Even if the Wei people have no faith and want to kill this official, the official dignified Great Yan envoy will never let them kill this official." This knife, from now on, will accompany the official into the city, persuasion success is not enough, if it fails, the Wei people want to take the official's head, the official will take it down first, will never let the Wei people take advantage of this. ”

Han Mo had always thought that Jiang Siyuan was just a literati, and although his mouth was sharp, he should not be bold.

It's just that he didn't expect this civil official to have the courage to see death as home, so he suddenly stood in awe, and said with a straight face: "Lord Jiang must not have such thoughts. If the Wei people refuse to surrender, you don't have to fight with them, just find a way to get out. ”

"Thank you for your concern." Jiang Siyuan put the blade into the scabbard, wore it on his waist, and said: "This official entered the city this time, that is, he wanted to enter from the main gate of Kyoto City in a dignified manner, that is, he wanted to come out, and he also had to come out from the main gate of Kyoto City openly, the general and you can rest assured, this is the first time this official has come into contact with other countries, but he will never insult the national prestige of my Dayan!" ”

Han Mo said loudly: "Bring the wine!" ”

Immediately, someone brought a marching wine bag, Han Mo took a wine bag, handed it to Jiang Siyuan, and said solemnly: "Jiang Yushi, in the army, I can only use this bag of wine to honor you and do something for you!" ”

Jiang Siyuan took the wine bag, and at this time, Han Xuanling and Tie Kui also rode forward, including Han Mo, each of them had a wine bag.

"Jiang Yushi, I will respect you!" Han Mo raised the wine bag, and was about to take a sip first, at this moment, in the military formation of Jin Ge Iron Horse, suddenly there was a very clear and rapid sound of horses' hooves, everyone followed the reputation, only to see a gray-armored general galloping on a thousand-mile horse, the general with a mask on his face, superb equestrian skills, holding a spear, and carrying a longbow and arrow box behind him, it was Zhu Xiaoyan.

Han Mo frowned, Zhu Xiaoyan should have marched in the rear of the Chinese army with more than four hundred wind cavalry now, why did he come here?

……

Zhu Xiaoyan galloped to Han Mo's side, glanced at Jiang Siyuan, who was about to leave, and then said to Han Mo: "General, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Han Mo hesitated for a moment, then turned the horse's head and took Zhu Xiaoyan to the side, at this time, the army in the middle of the Yan army marched forward in a neat shape, and the soldiers with high morale passed by one team after another.

"I'm going into the city!" Zhu Xiaoyan's eyes under the mask stared at Han Mo: "Let me enter the city with the envoy!" ”

Han Mo frowned and said lightly, "You left your post without permission, just to come and say this to me?" ”

Zhu Xiaoyan clenched the spear in his hand: "You already know my life experience." ”

Han Mo bowed slightly, when he and Zhu Xiaoyan went to the Black Tower, they learned about the past grievances and grievances of the two from the conversation between Du Wufeng and Zhu Xiaoyan, and also roughly understood Zhu Xiaoyan's life experience.

"I am a disciple of Wei Guoyan." Zhu Xiaoyan said slowly: "My real name is Yan Chixin, the former prime minister of Wei is my grandfather, you know everything!" ”

"Yes!"

"Grandpa has been an official in Wei for decades, there are many peaches and plums, and there are also a number of virtuous ministers in the court, headed by grandpa, to jointly assist Emperor Wei." Zhu Xiaoyan's voice was flat: "The Dog Emperor was brutal and unkind, regardless of the livelihood of the Li people, and under the instigation of Sima Qingtian, he worked hard to develop armaments. Grandpa is an old minister in the court, and his words are quite weighty, he opposes the Dog Emperor and Sima Qingtian's arming war, and he is naturally a thorn in the eye of the Dog Emperor! ”

"So...... Your family is flying into trouble? Han Mo sighed.

Zhu Xiaoyan's right hand holding the spear was bruised, and he said coldly: "The Dog Emperor didn't dare to attack my grandfather openly, but he secretly sent Du Wufeng's black flag to assassinate my family. That**, my Yan family suffered a catastrophe, except for my Yan Chixin, there is no living person. ”

Han Mo frowned and said, "That's why you arrived in the East China Sea?" ”

Zhu Xiaoyan nodded slightly: "Not bad." I knew that I was alone at the time, and I was weak, and it was absolutely impossible to avenge this annihilation, if I was impulsive, I would kill myself, and the blood feud of my Yan family would never be avenged. ”

Han Mo sighed lightly: "When you went to the East China Sea, did you have the intention to join my Han clan?" ”

Zhu Xiaoyan shook his head and said, "At first, I just took refuge, if I didn't meet you, I might soon leave the East China Sea and go elsewhere." But when I met you that day, you wanted to take me in, and at that time I suddenly thought that if I really devoted myself to your Korean people, maybe one day I would really be able to take revenge! ”

Han Mo said: "It seems that you look at it very much]}} just come o have foresight, at least Du Wufeng has been killed by you!" ”

"The Dog Emperor and Sima Qingtian are armed, and this big battle is going to happen sooner or later." Zhu Xiaoyan said calmly: "Wei State is attacking Qing, and your Yan Kingdom will be involved sooner or later, at that time, I just thought, if I am under your Han clan, maybe one day I can really take advantage of the momentum of your Han family and appear on the battlefield, and then I will have the opportunity to snow my hatred." ”

Han Mo's expression was indifferent and he didn't speak.

Zhu Xiaoyan stared at Han Mo and said slowly: "Han Mo, if it weren't for you, my revenge might not be able to be avenged, I keep your kindness in my heart." ”

Han Mo pondered for a moment, and finally said, "If you want to enter the city, are you preparing to enter the city to assassinate Emperor Wei?" ”

Xiao Yan did not hide it: "Du Wufeng is dead, he is my last enemy, as long as he takes off his head, the blood feud of my Yan family will be avenged." You sent an envoy into the city to persuade you to surrender, and there is a great chance that you can meet the dog emperor, and this is also my chance! ”

"It is not easy to assassinate Emperor Wei." Han Mo sighed: "Jiang Siyuan entered the city this time, there are only ten guards, even if you are added, there are only twelve people in total, how can he assassinate Emperor Wei?" And Jiang Siyuan may not cooperate with you to do such a dangerous thing......! ”

"Don't forget, I'm a disciple of Yanmen, and you shouldn't forget that the Dog Emperor is mediocre, cruel and unkind, and there are countless people persecuted by him, and there may not be no one like me in this Kyoto City." Zhu Xiaoyan's voice was low and slow: "If I can succeed, I will certainly have to take revenge, and you will also benefit a lot." As soon as the Dog Emperor died, there would inevitably be chaos in Kyoto City, and it would be much easier to break through Kyoto Castle when the time came. ”

"Have you ever thought that assassinating Emperor Wei is extremely dangerous, not to mention that the probability of success is not high, even if it is successful, you have a way to get out?" Han Mo shook his head and said, "If you want to kill him, after the city is broken, you will naturally have a chance." I promised you that once the city is broken and Emperor Wei falls into my hands, I will let you take revenge! ”

"Once Kyoto Castle is broken, anyone can kill him." Zhu Xiaoyan's voice was resolute: "And I, I will never allow the Dog Emperor to die in the hands of others, even if he dies, I will take the head of the Dog Emperor." ”

Han Mo looked up at the still hazy and dim sky, pondered for a moment, and finally said, "You have made up your mind?" ”

"Yes!" Zhu Xiaoyan nodded, "But before leaving, you must promise me one condition!" ”

"On what terms?"

"After the city is broken, you must restrain your army, and you must not kill the people of the city in vain." Zhu Xiaoyan said slowly: "Wei and Yan are of the same root, they are both descendants of Yan and Huang, the general trend of the world, and they will be united for a long time, if the four countries are unified, the people will be much more stable than they are now." I don't care if you attack Wei, or even if you annex Wei, but you must not slaughter the people of Wei...... Han Mo, this is my only condition. ”

Han Mo immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you!" ”

Zhu Xiaoyan's eyes, which had always been indifferent, showed a smile that he had never seen before, he stretched out his left hand and said calmly: "Han Mo, I am deeply honored to have known you for two years, if I can come out alive, I will repay your favor in the second half of my life!" ”

Han Mo also stretched out his hand and shook it with Zhu Xiaoyan, "Xiao Zhu, my brother, take care!" ”
