?

Maudun withdrew to the Xiongnu in embarrassment.

Xiang Tong did not pursue for a long time, and when the Huns fled from the Xia border, he led his troops in the direction of Jiuyuan City.

His task was only to intercept the Huns and eliminate as much of the Xiongnu's living forces as possible, so that they could no longer launch an effective offensive against Great Xia in the short term.

Mao Dun led the remnants of the defeated army and fled back to the Xiongnu, and in the process of fighting the Xia State, he was undefeated.

The reason for this, although it is related to the Xia army's use of tactics beyond his prior expectations, the most important thing is the rebellion of the Hun Fox Wolf Department and the Aries Department.

If the fox wolf department did not mutiny, Xiang Ye would not have been able to defeat the king of the left valley in one fell swoop, and the rebellion of the Aries department directly led to the fact that the right valley of the king was not only attacked on all sides, but also had no reinforcements.

Mao Dun led the army all the way to the Xiongnu royal court, and when he was about to reach the royal court, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

In the past, he led the army to the expedition, and when he returned to the royal court, the Yan clan would bring the people who stayed in the royal court to greet him, but this time the army had arrived only five miles away from the royal court, and there was no quiet movement in the direction of the royal court.

Feeling a little uneasy, he squeezed his legs towards the belly of his mount, and galloped towards the royal court.

When Maudun arrived at the location of the royal court, there was still the shadow of the royal court, and in front of him appeared a piece of charcoal burned by the fire.

Charred corpses lay on the ground, including some emaciated bodies, the slain and charred Hun children.

A stick was deeply rooted in the ground, some distance from the charred area, and a snow-white linen cloth fluttered on it.

Maudon rode up to the stick and tore off the white cloth.

A passage was written on the white cloth in blood, and the color of the blood had turned a little black due to the passage of time.

"Tell the Xiongnu Dadan Yu Maodun: Your army has killed my Daxia people for a day, today's Daxia army raided your royal court, not to kill the Huns, but to taste the pain of the loss of relatives, if you are still stubborn 'confused' and do not realize that Daxia is the enemy, the iron hooves of Daxia will definitely level the Huns, so that your Xiongnu Di people will be wiped out!"

This passage was written by Jing Ao dipped in the blood of the Huns, but the 'kiss' was Xiang Ye's, Xiang Ye asked him to leave this passage word for word, and stabbed Mao Dun, if Mao Dun still cared about his people, he would never dare to covet Great Xia in the short term.

"Ahh After reading the words on the white cloth, Mao Dun's chest suffocated violently, and a mouthful of blood spurted out with a "poof".

Several guards hurriedly stepped forward to hold him up, so that he did not fall off his horse.

"Xiang Ye! I'm going to kill you! Mao Dun gritted his teeth and tore the white cloth in his hand, and shouted to the Huns who fled back with him: "The warriors of the Great Huns, the Xia people killed our relatives, we must avenge them, set foot in the Xia Kingdom, and avenge the dead Huns!" ”

"Revenge! Avenge! All the Huns raised their scimitars and shouted loudly.

At the same time, the triumphant Xiang Tong had already led the Chu army back to Jiuyuan City, and when the Chu army entered the city, they found that red lanterns were hung on both sides of the road, and groups of civilians in Jiuyuan City were singing and dancing to welcome them.

"What is this going on?" Xiang Tong asked Li Xinpeng, who went out of the city to greet him, a little puzzled.

Li Xinpeng grinned, and the thief turned his head closer to him: "Today is a good day, double happiness is coming to the 'door', one is to celebrate your triumphant return, and the other is that the king has prepared a big gift for you!" ”

"A big gift?" Xiang Tong looked at Li Xinpeng with some puzzlement: "What kind of gift?" ”

"After so many years of fighting, is it still a child's 'chicken'?" Li Xinpeng raised his eyebrows at him viciously, and said with an extremely obscene expression on his face: "I'm going to let your boy's 'chicken' be eaten tonight!" ”

"You're so cheap!" Xiang Tong looked at Li Xinpeng, and after a while, he raised his head and laughed, and after laughing, he also said to Li Xinpeng shyly: "You should be too, right?" It seems that you only have a chance to watch, but you don't have a chance to eat, right? ”

"Can I be like you?" Li Xinpeng pouted: "Tell you, Xin Tong has my baby in her belly, wait, when the time comes, we will give birth to a son, and let him marry your daughter!" ”

"Come on, you!" Xiang Tong stretched out his hand and gently punched Li Xinpeng's arm: "With your loss, can you still have a son?" I think you're a girl! I'm still waiting for my son to marry your daughter! ”

The two of them were arguing as they led the procession towards the palace.

When he was still some distance from the palace, Xiang Tong ordered a colonel to return to the garrison with the army.

The little colonel was about to beckon the army to leave together, but Li Xinpeng stopped him.

"Today is the day of General Xiang Tong's wedding, how can you subordinates leave?" Li Xinpeng first shouted at the Chu officers and soldiers, and then turned back to Xiang Tong and said: "What I told you earlier was not a joke, the king has prepared a wedding house for General Xiang, and thousands of tables of banquets have been set up in the square outside the palace, in order to entertain the Chu army brothers who have come from thousands of miles to support my Great Xia Kingdom!" ”

As soon as Li Xinpeng's words fell, Chu Jun suddenly let out a cheer.

General's wedding, what kind of day is this? Generally speaking, among them, only high-ranking officers can have the opportunity to attend the general's wedding, but now that King Xia has prepared a banquet for all of them, how can he not let them get carried away with joy?

When the Chu army came to the outside of the palace, Xiang Ye had already prepared a guard of honor here, and rows of brightly armored Xia troops lined up in a straight phalanx, looking mighty.

In the square, rectangular tables almost fill the square, and some of the palace 'ladies' are standing in the aisle between each row of tables.

"Brothers Chu Jun, you have worked hard!" Seeing Xiang Tong leading the Chu army here, Xiang Ye beckoned to them and shouted: "Today is a good day for your General Xiang Tong's wedding, everyone must not get drunk and not return!" ”

"Long live the Summer King!" I don't know who in the Chu army shouted first, and then tens of thousands of Chu troops shouted out at the same time.

Xiang Ye pressed his hand twice towards Chu Jun, Chu Jun calmed down, and then he shouted: "Please take a seat!" ”

After his shout fell, the palace 'women' stepped forward and led Chu Jun to sit down according to their official positions, only Xiang Tong was left aside and no one paid attention to him.

Xiang Tong scratched his head a little uncertainly, and muttered in his heart: "I got married, why not only did I not see the bride, but I also had to be left aside?" ”

Xiang Ye's next words relieved Xiang Tong's doubts: "Soldiers, in my hometown, young people get married, and the groom has the least status. Today, we don't distinguish between dignity and inferiority, you just have to catch your general and ravage him, as long as you don't 'kill' him or 'cripple' him, everything else is easy to say! ”

"Isn't it?" As soon as he heard this, Xiang Tong suddenly had a bitter face, more than 30,000 Chu troops plus the Xia State ministers who came to attend the wedding, it was no wonder that he was not 'rubbed' to death alone.

After listening to Xiang Ye's words, Chu Jun looked up at Xiang Tong who was still standing in place one by one, but no one dared to step forward to trouble him.

"Hurry up! Bring me the brazier! Xiang Ye saw that no one from the Chu army moved, and shouted to the guards beside him.

The guards hurriedly brought a clay pot lit with fire and placed it at Xiang Tong's feet steadily.

"The groom has to step over the brazier to pick up the bride!" Xiang Ye shouted at Xiang Tong with a weird smile on his face, "Why don't you jump quickly?" ”

Xiang Tong looked around with a bitter face, only to see that everyone was looking at him with an expectant look, and he had no choice but to jump over the brazier.

"Hahahaha!" Seeing Xiang Tong jumping over the brazier, Xiang Ye suddenly couldn't straighten up with laughter, and the Xia Guo ministers on the side also laughed.

Xiang Tong, who still didn't understand what was going on, looked at Xiang Ye and Xia Guoqunchen who were laughing stupidly, not knowing what they were doing.

"The brazier was supposed to be danced by the bride, which means that you want to give birth to a noble son early and live a prosperous life, but since you jumped for her, that's it!" Xiang Ye finally stopped laughing, his face flushed and said to Xiang Tong: "Anyway, it's not her business to have a child alone, and it's the same if you dance!" ”

"Okay, okay, let's not tease General Xiang Tong!" Seeing that the game was almost over, Xiang Ye said to the palace 'girl' behind him: "Please invite the general's wife out!" ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to invite the general's wife, not only Xiang Tong, but even all the Chu troops stretched their necks and looked into the palace.

After a while, the palace 'girl' really attracted a bride, but it was not just one, but a long line, with more than 100 brides!

"Xiang Tong, in order to prove that you and your wife have a heart, you must find your wife from these hundred people!" Xiang Ye glanced sideways at the hundred brides and said to Xiang Tong: "If you guess wrong, you must drink a glass of water until you guess correctly!" ”

Xiang Tong had a bitter face, looked at the bride team standing not far away, and cast a look at Xiang Ye for help.

"Don't look at me with such bitter eyes!" How did Xiang Ye not buy it at all, and said to him: "Hurry up and admit it, if you make a mistake, you will be fined a glass of water!" ”

Seeing that there was no hope of being spared, Xiang Tong had no choice but to walk towards the group of brides with a bitter face, and when he walked ten steps away from the brides, two Xia military captains stood in front of him.

"General Xiang, please stay!" A lieutenant stretched out his hand to stop in front of Xiang Tong and said to him: "To identify the bride, you need to identify it here, and then Gong E will lure the bride you think is the general's wife here." ”

"Still playing like this?" Xiang Tong's face was so bitter that he could wring out the juice, he looked at Xiang Ye, and saw that Xiang Ye was looking at him with a smug face, and there was really no way, so he had to sigh and point to one of the brides: "That should be my wife!" ”~
