Chapter 70: Divorce and remarriage

"What are you talking about, Uncle Habu, I've only met her once or twice, how could I like her, I just think she's as beautiful as the Gesang flowers on our grassland, and people can't take their eyes off it."

Ba Hu remembered the shocking glance he saw in the hot spring village, not why, even if he knew that Su Muwan had become another wife, and even a princess, he still couldn't forget that scene.

"Why didn't I meet her earlier, I don't know what it would be like to marry a man who could marry her." He muttered to himself.

"Second prince, don't worry, you'll see him soon." Habu thought of the secret letter he had received a few days ago, and said to Bahu firmly.

Ba Hu was a little puzzled, "Why?" ”

"The eldest prince lost the first two battles to Shangguan Yu, and he led the army unfavorably, Shan Yu sent a message to him to return to China, and you took over the position of the main general, so we are in a hurry to find you these days, the military order is in front, and we can't delay here for too long."

As he spoke, Habu took out the secret letter from his body and handed it to Bahu.

Hearing that it was a serious matter, Ba suddenly became serious, and there was a special symbol of the royal family on the secret letter, and he opened it and hurriedly read it, and his face was a little bad.

My mother sent a letter to herself, saying that my father attached great importance to this battle and hoped that after he succeeded Han Qing, he could do his best to wash away the humiliation of the first two defeats.

"Uncle Habu, when was the last time the two armies went to war?"

"Back to the second prince, it was four days ago, so we must hurry up and rush back now!"

The two armies confronted each other, and now that the eldest prince has returned to China, the Huns are equivalent to having no main general, and once they fight again, they will inevitably suffer some losses, so Habu is a little anxious in his heart.

"Okay, then let's go and meet who Shangguan Yu is!" Ba Hu wanted to see if Shangguan Yu was worthy of Su Muwan.

Habu, a man with five big and three rough faces, didn't know why he was a little twisted at this time, "My subordinates don't know if I should say something or not?" ”。

"If you have anything to say, Uncle Habu just say it." Ba Hu was a little curious when he saw him like this.

"Prince, we are the Huns, the rules of the Huns are naturally different from those of Daguan, if you really like that Princess Yu, after you win the battle, you can go to Shan Yu and say, let the Emperor of Daguan reconcile the two, and you can marry her into the door again, not to mention that I heard that Shangguan Yu already had three wives before, and now in addition to a princess, there is also a side concubine, he is so attentive, Princess Yu may not want to live with him for a long time."

After Habu finished his words in one breath, he felt that his old face was flushed, and it was really difficult for him to teach the prince who had been brought up since he was a child.

But he saw that Ba Hu was obsessed with Su Muwan, and he was worried that he would be distracted when he was fighting, so he simply said it, which could be regarded as giving Ba Hu a motivation to win the battle.

In fact, what he said was not taken out to coax him, the Xiongnu have always been open to the people, especially in the affairs of men and women.

After the death of her husband, marrying her uncle, and even after her father's death, her son married her father's concubine, such a thing is not surprising at all, so even if Su Muwan really reconciles with Shangguan Yu in the future, and then marries Bahu, in the eyes of the Huns, this is also normal, and a good woman asks for a hundred families.

If a widow remarries, there will inevitably be a lot of gossip, and she can only marry someone with worse conditions. However, in the grasslands, some widows are more popular than unmarried girls, which has to be said to be due to the different customs and cultures of the two countries.

Ba Hu wanted to stop Uncle Habu when he heard him start talking about these things, but when he heard him say that Shangguan Yu was a little distracted, he began to have some thoughts in his heart.

He saw that Su Muwan was indeed a little brows, and he heard that she came all the way here to find Shangguan Yu, but Shangguan Yu only sent these few people to escort her back, maybe she was by his side, and she was really unhappy.

If that's the case, then I'm really going to fight like Uncle Habu said!

After all, he dared to promise that if Su Muwan married him, he would be the only one in his heart, and he would not let her suffer a little grievance, so he would hold her in the palm of his hand and put her in his eyes.

Therefore, he must defeat Shangguan Yu!

With such a belief, Ba Hu led his group to the battlefield at the border pass.

……

At this time, Su Muwan, who was sitting in the carriage and hurrying, would not know that she was worried about Shangguan Yu's safety, and her brows were not spreading, and she was understood by Ba Hu that she was unhappy because of Shangguan Yu's "flowery heart", which could only be said to be a mistake and caused a misunderstanding.

Mo Yan had already sent a guard, hurried up, and rushed back to report to Shangguan Yu that there was a person from the Xiongnu royal family in Jinzhou City, and there was a Guo Duhu by his side who was afraid that there were two things, and the rest of the people continued to take Su Muwan on the road together.

Su Muwan felt that if her group was really targeted, and they were still swaggering like this, it would be a bit eye-catching.

After thinking about it for a while, she decided that her group should all come in disguise to confuse those secret enemies.

She first asked Mo Yan to change to an inconspicuous carriage, the carriage she is sitting in now is made in the army, the style and specifications are different from ordinary carriages, and it is particularly conspicuous on the road.

She was tall and still dressed as a man, pretending to be a wealthy merchant and taking concubines and guards to the capital to do business.

The concubine is naturally Xiaoliu, she is in her prime, and her appearance has a pretty word, which is the favorite woman of those rich businessmen now, so it is not conspicuous to pretend to be a concubine.

Su Muwan asked Mo Yan and them to change into coarse linen clothes, and the group of people changed their identities as soon as they changed, mixing in the carriages coming and going on the road, as inconspicuous as they were.

When she came, she couldn't go on the same road, when she came, Su Muwan took the official road, and there would be official posts every other way, holding the sign given by Shangguan Chen, and she traveled unhindered all the way.

But if you still take that road now, I'm afraid it won't work, if the enemy ambushes the post station in advance, your own group will fall directly into the trap.

So this time they changed the road that merchants often walked, although it was a little more detoured than before, but the safety was more guaranteed.

Shangguan Yu was frowning at this time, flipping through a list in the army, and thinking to himself.

Just now, one of the guards he sent to escort Su Muwan back, and in the name of saying that he was sent by the princess to deliver the letter home, but when he took it, it was Mo Yan's handwritten letter.

Shangguan Yu knew that there might be something important in it, so he hurriedly asked everyone around him to retreat, leaving only Lan Yu and the guard who came to deliver the letter.

He opened the letter and hurriedly read it at a glance, and when he saw that Su Muwan was assassinated, he felt a pang in his heart, although he knew that she was not injured at this time, he was still a little worried about her.

Jinzhou City has something to do with the people of the Xiongnu royal family, and he has some numbers in his heart.

Since the last time Khan Qing took the initiative to provoke and failed fiascoly, the Hun camp has been dormant in the past few days.

Later, the secret agent reported that it was because the Xiongnu Shan Yu saw that Khan Qing was defeated twice, and he was displeased, so he removed him from the position of master and let him go back, and sent another son of his own.

Shangguan Yu guessed that the person in the royal family that Su Muwan and the others saw was another son of Mao Dun.

But what Mo Yan said about Guo Duhu, Shangguan Yu had no impression in his mind at all, who was this person, and why did he send someone to assassinate Su Muwan?

Seeing that he really couldn't remember this person, Shangguan Yu simply asked someone to get a list, and this list was a list of all the official positions in the barracks with more than 1,000 households.

Finally on this, Shangguan Yu found the name Guo Feng, so why had he never seen him?

Shangguan Yu called the person in charge of the list, pointed to Guo Feng's position and asked him, "Why have I never seen this Guo Duhu?" ”

The man thought for a while and replied: "The general doesn't know, this Guo Duhu suddenly contracted a vicious disease before the general came, saying that it would infect people, so he is still recuperating at home, and he has never come out to see anyone." ”

Oh, how could the timing of his illness be so coincidental? Shangguan Yu felt that there might be something hidden in it.

"Has this Guo Duhu been here at Yumen Pass before?"

"It's not, Guo Duhu was transferred from the capital a few years ago, his wife and children are still waiting for him in the capital, and he is the only one in his house on weekdays, and it's strange that he is lonely." The man felt some pity for him.

Transferred from the capital, then there must be someone behind him to instruct, who will this person be? I must find out quickly, otherwise I am in the open and the enemy is in the dark, and sooner or later I will suffer a big loss.

"Okay, you go down first." After Shangguan Yu understood the situation, he asked this person to step down.

After seeing him leave, Lan Yu opened his mouth: "Lord, could it be those two people in the palace?" ”

Shangguan Yu shook his head: "I don't think so, their hands can't reach out to the army." ”

"By the way, how is the account I asked you to check?"

Since Shangguan Yu came to this pass, he felt that the accounts in the army were vague, the soldiers were all cabbage and radishes, and they didn't even have any oil and water, and their lives were too hard, but he remembered that his father sent hundreds of thousands of taels of military salaries to Yumen Pass every year.

Where did these hundreds of thousands of taels of military salaries go? Shangguan Yuming was not easy to check on his face, so he had to send Lan Yu to check the accounts secretly.

"I'm about to report to the Lord, the account reported by the army to the imperial court, there is a lot of moisture in it, take this daily meal as an example, the number of accounts reported by the army is enough to eat a good meal, but in fact, the money for the kitchen is not even a fraction of the account."

Lan Yu said with a serious face, when he first looked at the accounts, he was very surprised, no matter who did it, he was too bold.

"What's more, originally every soldier who died on the battlefield would have a pension to be returned to their relatives, and each person who fell into his hands also had a few taels of silver, although it was not much, it was a comfort, and most of the people who came to serve as soldiers were in poor family conditions, and a few taels of silver could also make their lives better.

But I asked a handyman about a fellow villager who had been given less than a tael of silver to his old mother after he had died in battle. ”

Shangguan frowned, in fact, the original intention of his father to set this pension was to appease the people, and the amount was not low, who would have thought that some people would regard this as an opportunity to make a fortune.

This is too ugly!
