Chapter 137: Zhao Guo is shocked
The adjutant general beside Huo Pinglian heard Huo Pinglian say that he wanted to surrender, and said in disbelief, "General Huo, we entered the battlefield to fight, to win, not to surrender, I will never agree to surrender to the Barbarian King!" ”
Huo Pinglian knew that they would be like this, so he had already prepared his words, "General Xu, what do you say, our current troops have long been exhausted, Jingli has not responded, and support has not arrived for a long time, it is not a wise choice for our troops to defend the frontier!" Instead, sit and wait to die! ”
General Xu said, "The general died in a hundred battles, and it is our glory to be able to die on the battlefield!" We would rather defend the city to the death than surrender to the enemy! ”
Huo Pinglian looked at General Xu, who was fiercely opposed, and rubbed his brows tiredly and said, "Then what?" ”
General Xu was puzzled, "What then! Huo Pinglian said, "What about after we die, what is the use of this for Zhao State, can we hold Zhao State when we die?" ”
General Xu was speechless, but he was still not convinced, Huo Pinglian continued, "We have no benefit to the Zhao State except for sacrificing in vain, even if we resist to the death this time, they will eventually level the Zhao State!" If we surrender, we will at least save our lives, and the lives of the millions of people behind us! ”
General Shen said, "If we surrender, we will only live in humiliation!" The adjutant general sitting on the side said, "I agree with General Huo's suggestion, whether I live in humiliation or not, at least we are still alive, this is hope!" ”
One after another, some people reconsidered, General Shen had no choice but to admit it, Huo Pinglian saw that no one objected, so he asked people to send a letter asking for peace to the barbarian king Nala Haoman!
After reading Huo Pinglian's letter, Nala Haoman proposed that Huo Pinglian come to Nala Haoman's territory for a meeting and talk in detail!
'Smack! General Shen slapped the table angrily, "Nala Haoman is really too deceitful, this appointment for peace talks should have been held at the intersection in the middle, he is good, let us go directly to their territory!" ”
The adjutant general also said, "Yes, so our general goes, isn't that at the mercy of others!" What right do we have to speak in someone else's territory! ”
Huo Pinglian looked at their excited looks, and when they all finished venting their emotions, he said to them, "We now listen to peace talks on the surface, but in fact we surrender, so we don't have any right to choose, we can only obey other people's requirements!" ”
General Shen and Huo Pinglian said, "General Huo, you mean you're going!" Huo Pinglian asked him rhetorically, "Why don't you go?" Do we have a choice? ”
Nala Hao watched Huo Pinglian turn into milk with only one guard, you talked about it yourself in detail, and praised him,
Huo Pinglian saluted to Nala Haoman, "Huo Pinglian has seen the Barbarian King!" ”
Nala stood up and pointed to the seat on the side, "General Huo, please take a seat, this king has been waiting for a long time!" ”
After Huo Pinglian sat down, Nala Hao played on the side, and called for all the food and dance. After tasting the food and watching the dance, Nala Haoman said to Huo Pinglian, "This king never thought that you Huo Pinglian would take the initiative to seek peace!" ”
Huo Pinglian smiled, and listened to Nala Haoman's words, "I think that at the beginning, you followed Yuan Junfeng to fight on the battlefield, and never whispered, let alone talk about shaking hands with us invaders. To be honest, even now, I still don't believe in your sincerity! ”
Huo Pinglian held the wine glass and said to Nala Haoman, "In the past, Yuan Junfeng couldn't be any master in me, but now that he is gone, Zhao Guo has no troops, but the barbarian soldiers are strong, and Zhao Guo will continue to fight with eggs and stones, and the final outcome may not be as good as surrendering now, so, those who know the times are Junjie, I am not so old-fashioned, and this time I came to ask for a handshake and peace, and I am absolutely sincere!" ”
Nala said, "Oh! Didn't your emperor tell you? I have sent them words and letters, but they have rejected my proposal, as if surrender is only your personal will, General Huo! So, General Huo, can you really make the decision to surrender on behalf of Zhao Guo? ”
Huo Pinglian said, "King Barbarian, you are mistaken, I am not representing the Zhao State, I only represent my army, I am guarding the army on the frontier!" ”
"Oh!" Nala Haoman said with great interest, "What do you mean by that!" ”
Huo Pinglian said, "Since I came, I will never hide it from you, I have indeed asked for support from above, but so far not only has I not replied, but I have not seen any soldiers, and the ants are still stealing, since the above has ignored us, then we can also ignore them, I can understand that the Barbarian King said this!" ”
"Hehe," Nala Hao laughed, "Okay, my Nala Hao Man accepts all those who surrender, but will never let go of those who resist!" ”
Huo Pinglian toasted to Nala Haoman, "Just ask the Barbarian King, give us a way to live, I, Huo Pinglian, will open the big city gate, so that you can enter the interior of Zhao without a single soldier!" ”
Nala raised his glass happily, and the two reached an agreement, Huo Pinglian returned to his side, and ordered all the soldiers to lay down their weapons and return to their residences, no matter what sound they heard.
General Shen and Huo Pinglian were in a residence, listening to the barbarian troops outside attacking the interior of the Zhao State. General Shen wanted to go out several times, but was stopped by Huo Pinglian.
Nala Hao took it and went to gather all his troops and set off for Zhao State. When Shen Min received the order, he was still very worried. However, I don't have the right to speak, I can only do what I am told!
Shen Min walked into Minghuan's residence, only to see that Minghuan had lost a lot of weight, and his hands were also tied in one place, Shen Min sat on the side of the princess's bed, "Princess, Zhao Guo is over, Yuan Junfeng was killed on the spot with your own eyes on that day!" You don't have to go on a hunger strike for him, trust me, I'll be good to you! ”
Minghuan saw that he was about to pick himself up when he stretched out his hand, and said with his mouth open, "Where is Shen Min going to take me!" "Because I didn't speak, I suddenly spoke, and my voice was hoarse and unpleasant.
Shen Min said, "Princess, you have always been unwilling to be by my side willingly, I can only tie you to my side and take good care of you, I really don't worry about handing you over to anyone!" ”
Minghuan yelled and struggled, "Shen Min, you are not as good as a beast!" ”
Shen Min ignored Minghuan's insults and took her away, and after meeting with Nala Haoman, Shen Min found a small farm courtyard to settle Minghuan, because Minghuan was the princess of Zhao Kingdom, and Shen Min was afraid that Nala Haoman would be unfavorable to Minghuan.
Halfway through the journey close to the capital, Nala received a messenger, "Report, Huo Pinglian led the army to attack the interior of my barbarian army, and now occupies the area of my barbarian!" And he also sent people to chase after us all the way! ”
Nala was shocked, "What! Huo Ping trained him only with a few thousand soldiers and horses, how could he ......! ”
Suddenly, another soldier hurriedly ran in, "Report, there is an ambush ahead, the number of people is huge, and the number of people in front of us has been lost!" ”
Nala Haoman almost fainted when he heard this, and Shen Min eagerly asked the little soldiers, "Can you see who their leader is!" ”
Before the soldiers could speak, they heard the sound of fighting. The generals under his command immediately said, "Quick! Escort the Barbarian King away, quick! ”
Because it was evening, the barbarians were not prepared at all, and they didn't know why so many troops suddenly appeared in the Zhao Kingdom, and they were menacing, and the people on the side of the Barbarian King were torn apart for a while, and they could only hurriedly escort Nala to leave.
Shen Min was originally going to leave together, but was ordered by Nala to stay behind to resist, Shen Min said, "King Barbarian, you let me stay here to wait for death!" There's so much more I can do for you, and you can't leave me behind! ”
Nala Hao said, "Bastard, since you want to do things for my barbarians, you must obey the orders of my barbarians, let you stay and resist, you will stay!" Someone came and let him go out to fight! ”
Shen Min was forcibly brought to the battlefield, and Nala Haoman only left him with a thousand troops to defend against the enemy. It didn't last long before he was captured by the enemy.
Yuan Junfeng walked up to Shen Min and said, "Lord Shen, long time no see!" Shen Min looked at Yuan Junfeng in shock, "How could you?" Didn't you get killed by that dynamite? ”
Yuan Junfeng said, "If I hadn't known in advance, I would have died in that explosion, but two days in advance, I would have known that you had found my traces, so the little general you saw in the next two days was not me!" It's my shadow guard pretending! ”
Shen Min looked at Yuan Junfeng and said with a wry smile, "Yuan Junfeng, you are so powerful, I can't do anything about you several times!" ”
Yuan Junfeng glanced at Shen Min and ordered the people below, "Lock Shen Min up for me, and the rest of the people will go with me to chase the Barbarian Rong King!" ”
Yuan Junfeng took people to ride a horse to chase Nala Haoman, but Nala Haoman was also a cunning old thing. Along the way, he ordered different generals to leave a small number of troops along the way to block them, delaying Yuan Junfeng's footsteps, so he let Nala Hao escape!
In the end, it was no longer possible to find the traces of Nala, Yuan Junfeng could only take the men and horses back, just arrived at the station, Yuan Junfeng returned to his tent and took off his cloak, and the people below came to report him, "General, Shen Min has escaped!" ”
Yuan Junfeng slowly put the cloak on the bed, without looking back, and said to the people below, "All the relevant personnel guarding Shen Min will each receive eighty sticks!" Step aside! ”
Shen Min's escape makes Yuan Junfeng feel uneasy. Now Xue Rou and they don't have any supporting troops in the imperial city. Even the people took out most of the strong men. Yuan Jun walked out of the camp tent and instructed the people below, "Early tomorrow morning, check the affairs of the soldiers and horses, and set off to return to Beijing!" ”
Wen Yang was a little surprised, "General, isn't this a little urgent, the battle has just ended today, and I will leave for Beijing tomorrow!" ”
Yuan Junfeng looked at Wen Yang, "Am I a general or are you a general!" ”
Wen Yang could only retire silently and do what he was told.
