The wind gusted, the clouds were low, the mountains of Xiaoguan were undulating, and the ice and snow covered them, like a fallen soldier wearing heavy armor.

The cold wind penetrated the bones, but Hu Zun was full of enthusiasm, and galloped back to Linjing, willing to go to the city to be dark, Hu Zun muttered: "I, Hu Shunzhi, are back again." ”

The sentry horse in front of him waved the banner of Chang'an, the defenders checked the token, put everyone in, Hu Zun took two relatives and friends, came to the mansion proudly, and handed over the documents.

Zou Qi is setting up a banquet in the mansion to entertain Huang Zhong, there has been no war in the city these days, training troops during the day, chatting in the afternoon, all waiting for Zhuge Liang's approval.

The messenger reported the arrival of the envoy from Chang'an, and Zou Qi hurriedly greeted him, but when he saw Hu Zun standing at the foot of the steps, he couldn't help but be stunned: "How did Shunzhi come back again?" ”

Hu Zun hugged his fists and said: "I came to deliver the letter on the order of Zhuge Military Division." ”

"You went to Chang'an?" Zou Qi was shocked, hurriedly greeted the steps, and said happily: "Since you came here on the orders of the military division, you will be successful in joining the army, which is gratifying." ”

Hu Zun is also a return to his hometown, this time he raised his eyebrows, he wanted to make fun of Zou Qi, but seeing that he was very enthusiastic about himself, the previous resentment disappeared, and he hugged his fists and said: "Don't hide it, the student went to Xiaoguan first, and then went to Chang'an to report the news, so that he could be reused." ”

"It's really teachable!" Zou Qi nodded with satisfaction, pulled Hu Zun into the mansion, and introduced Huang Zhong and other generals.

Hu Zun has long heard of the name of Huang Zhong, the old man is praised for his strength, and he is more than half a hundred officials and dragon generals, and he has become a beautiful talk.

The two sides saluted, Hu Zun sat next to Deng Ai, the two were the same age, looked at each other and smiled, Hu Zun saw that Deng Ai did not speak, thinking that he despised him, and was a little dissatisfied in his heart.

I secretly think that although you are Huang Zhongyi's son, you are just a moth, and you are not surnamed Huang, what is there to be arrogant?

After a pleasant greeting, Huang Zhong asked: "Can the military advisor have an answer to the surrender of the Xiongnu?" ”

Hu Zun took out the bag: "Zhuge military division told the old general to act according to the plan, and then went to Chencang to meet and support Xiliang. ”

Huang Zhong took the bag, opened it in turn, and said with a smile after reading it: "The military advisor is really clever." ”

He then ordered Hu Zun to also lead the stable garrison and be responsible for patrolling the city for public security, and the rest of the generals would go back early to rest and prepare to send troops tomorrow.

When Zou Qi heard that he was going to send troops, he was puzzled: "Since the Xiongnu asked for surrender, they should accept the surrender, in order to show that the king of Han is benevolent and the Han is tolerant, why do they still fight?" ”

Huang Zhong sneered: "The Huns were forced to surrender due to the situation, and they were not sincere, so the prince of the government could follow the orders of the military division and reply to Hu Bo, and see how he reacted." ”

Zou Qi took the bag, and suddenly realized it, praised Kong Ming's ability, and immediately replied, ordering the Hun envoy to bring it back to Xiaoguan.

At this time, in Xiao Pass, there was an indifference, and the hearts of the Hun soldiers were colder than the stones at the head of the city, and they did not return to the arrogance and recklessness when they entered the pass.

The old nest at the foot of Helan Mountain was ended, the men, women and children of the clan were hijacked by the Han army, lost their territory and cattle and sheep, hundreds of years of accumulation came to naught, and their families were imprisoned, who didn't worry?

In addition, the cattle and sheep did not come, and the grain and grass looted along the way were about to run out, and they could not attack the city, and there was nowhere to retreat, and they were completely in a desperate situation.

The shaman sacrificed to Dan La, who was greedy for pills and died, Hu Bo was alone, and the center of despair had a plan, to learn from the king of Yue, Goujian, to temporarily surrender to the Han army, and so on to get through the difficulties, rescue his family, and then rebel to take revenge.

It has been nearly ten days since the letter was sent to Linjing, the only remaining dry food was eaten, and the whole army slaughtered horses to satisfy hunger, and the reply of the Han army was the last hope of the whole army.

Da Da Da –

The sound of empty horses' hooves sounded in front of the pass, and the sleepy defenders, who looked like messengers, were in good spirits and hurriedly opened and closed for release.

Hu Bo hurriedly rushed out when he heard the news, hurriedly opened the letter, looked at it, the joy on his face turned into shock, and then he became angry, tore the letter to pieces, and yelled: "Zhuge villager, deceive people too much!" ”

The envoy was so frightened that he took a few steps back, and said in surprise: "King, Zou Taishou said that Zhuge Liang had agreed to surrender, why are you angry?" ”

Hu Bo scolded: "That Zhuge Liang is scheming, he actually wants to move my people to all parts of Longshang, and he wants this king to go to Luoyang Xinghantai to study hard for three years, and become an official in the court, which is obviously to divide us and exterminate our clan." ”

The messenger was astonished, "What then?" ”

"Hmph, the rabbit is in a hurry and bites!" Hu Bo saw that his revenge plan could not succeed, so he simply fought to the death, and immediately sent an order: "Everyone obeys the order, follow the king to kill Linjing, as long as the occupation is stable, we can also take revenge." ”

When the news came out, the entire Xiao Pass was shaken, and several leaders surrounded the envoy to ask questions, the envoy was just an ordinary soldier, how dare he hide it, so he had to answer truthfully.

After listening to the conditions of the Han Ting, some of them were furious, some of them bowed their heads and were silent, and when they were living and dying, they had to make a careful choice.

Zhuge Liang did not want to exterminate them, as long as he surrendered, not only did he properly resettle his family, but also moved the land within the Guannai, and the government decree was the same as that of the Han people.

Now Xiliang is turbulent, the imperial court is recruiting troops to quell the rebellion, and those who are willing to serve in the army can go to Xiliang to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, seal their wives and sons, and glorify their ancestors, Jin Riyan is a good example for them.

Half an hour later, Hu Bo raised the account to order troops, but half of the people were unwilling to go out, so angry that they jumped like thunder, and scolded the leaders on the spot, and so on to capture Linjing, they were not allowed to enter the city, life and death were at their own convenience, if they joined the Han army, they would betray their ancestors.

After drinking those leaders back, they came to the stone tablet in the Guannei with the remaining leaders, sacrificed to the immortal heaven with blood, selected the best war horses and weapons and armor, and led more than 5,000 cavalry to Linjing.

A horse explorer had already reported into the city, and Zou Qi sighed: "Sure enough, as Kong Ming expected, that Hu Bo was not sincere in submission, and tried in vain to hide from the sky and the sea." ”

Huang Zhong stroked his beard and smiled: "Today's people, who can hide from Mr. Wolong?" ”

Zhuge Liang's reply can be described as neither hard nor soft, the key depends on how Hu Bo looks at it, the mentality is different, and the choice is different.

If Hu Bo is truly obedient, and the court is so magnanimous, he will be grateful to Dade, and if he deliberately takes revenge, he must think that this is Zhuge Liang's trick, and he will be annoyed and angry.

Now Hu Bo resolutely sent troops and fought to the death, as Zhuge Liang expected, he had already harbored evil intentions, and he could get rid of them in one fell swoop and never suffer in the future.

Not a day the Huns killed the city, the five thousand cavalry were still violent, Hu Bo beat the horse to the city, and scolded: "Zou Qi old thief, open the city quickly, spare you from death, if the king breaks the city gate, the chicken and dog will not stay." ”

Huang Zhong pressed his hand on the city wall, glanced at the Xiongnu soldiers and horses with cold eyes, and turned around and asked: "The thieves are rampant, and there is no one in my city, so they should be killed to destroy their morale." Who of you and you dare to fight? ”

Deng Ai and Hu Zun hugged their fists at the same time and said: "The last general is willing to go!" ”

Huang Zhong stroked his beard and groaned, looked at Deng Ai, and Hu Zun hurriedly said: "General Huang, I heard that the military law of the Han army is strict, but you can't be cronyistic and partial to your own family. ”

"Hahaha......" Huang Zhong looked up to the sky and laughed, pointing at Hu Zun: "Okay, General Hu will take the lead." ”
