Chapter 351 Who surrounded whom?

Chapter 351 Who surrounded whom?

Da Shanyu came to supervise the battle in person, and summoned the envoys of Chu to the tent, wanting to see how these people would react after the city was broken.

Several groups of envoys met for the first time in the Xiongnu camp. They were uninvited and lost their souls, waiting for the final result. Many people were determined to die, but they felt that it was not yet time.

Soon after dawn, three Xiongnu messengers came one after another, and they reported news to Da Shanyu nervously.

The interpreter brought by the envoy of the Great Chu himself was placed under house arrest elsewhere. The interpreter of the Huns refused to interpret a word at this time, and his expression became tense.

Da Danyu was no longer so calm, and ordered the Chu envoy to be expelled, and summoned the chiefs to discuss matters.

After about an hour, Da Chanyu summoned Qiao Wanfu and proposed that the Huns could suspend the siege of the city, on the condition that the emperor must come to Da Chanyu immediately.

Qiao Wanfu was at a loss and did not know how to deal with it. After the account was released, he discussed with his colleagues, and everyone was even more surprised. Soon, they found out that the Huns were really withdrawing their troops. The husband said, "The emperor can come."

Qiao Wanfu had heard of Qu Zixi's great name, so he accepted his suggestion, and when he was summoned by Da Shanyu again, he agreed to persuade the emperor to come to the Huns' camp, but he did not understand the reason, so he could only be vague.

Qu Zixi knew a little Xiongnu language. He never spoke it, but he could understand it. The three previous Huns reported the same news to Da Chanyu. The clearer it was, the more he could not doubt it.

Deng Cui Dongzheng - Qu Zixi has not yet fully understood the important meaning of this news, but seeing the reaction of the Huns, he understands that this matter is extremely important, both for the Great Chu and the emperor.

So, just before the emperor entered the account, he whispered the news in a low voice.

Han Ru suddenly felt at ease. Deng Cui was a somewhat eccentric general, and it was difficult to be completely reassured, but he succeeded after all. Not only did he pass through the siege of the Huns to reach Mayi City, but he also coincided with the emperor and led his troops to the east. , to seize the Great Wall checkpoint and block the Huns inside the checkpoint.

The grassland is the source of the Huns. Without it, the Huns will soon dry up. After entering the customs, they mainly rely on looting to support the entire army, but every Huns knows in their hearts that the looting will eventually end, and they still have to return. Prairie absorbs energy.

For the Huns, the ideal state is to be able to freely enter and exit the Great Wall, not far from the source, but also to enjoy the prosperity of Chu, and to be protected by the city wall when necessary.

Just the rumors that the way home was blocked was enough to cause chaos in the hearts of the Huns.

When the Emperor of Chu arrived, no Hun nobles came out to greet him, but a group of soldiers stopped the Chu envoy and the emperor's guards, and only allowed him to enter alone.

The tent was much hotter than the outside, and dozens of Xiongnu nobles crowded inside, either sitting or standing, with swords and bows on their bodies, staring at the Emperor of Chu with contempt and fierce eyes.

The emperor was too young and too weak, like a lamb that had accidentally entered a tiger's den.

This is the atmosphere that the Huns wanted to create, but what Han Ruzi saw was another truth: Da Chanyu blocked the news, and most of the Huns outside the tent did not know what was going on outside the fortress, but the nobles in the tent knew. So they put on such a stance, in fact, they are stern.

Da Danyu kept the Chu envoys outside the tent, in order to infect the emperor with their dazed fear, but he did not expect that one of them could understand the Xiongnu language.

Like many courtiers, Han Ruzi originally had the will to die, but now he has the will to win. He walked with ease, looked calm, turned a blind eye to the sharp eyes on the left and right, and walked straight to Da Chanyu.

Da Shan Yu was lying on the comfortable soft couch. When he was negotiating in Iron Broken City last year, he was a humble and wise old man. Today, he is an arrogant and proud alien monarch, aloof and ready to vent his wrath at any time.

When it comes to bluffing, Da Chanyu did better than the average Xiongnu nobles, but that was all. His performance made Han Ruzi believe that the news from outside the Great Wall was a blow to the Huns.

The Xiongnu nobles shouted in unison, signaling the emperor to kneel to Da Chanyu.

Even without Qu Zixi's reminder, Han Ruzi would not kneel, look directly into Da Chanyu's eyes, and say, "Da Chanyu will be fine."

Probably because they didn't trust the Jin brothers and sisters, Da Shanyu had another interpreter beside him, whispering to him in a low voice.

Da Chanyu's cold face slowly melted, revealing a faint smile, he sat up a little, raised his hand, ordered the nobles to shut up, then muttered a few words, the interpreter listened carefully, then straightened his back, and proudly said to the guests "Yu Jing, the Huns, asked the emperor of the state of Chu: The Huns saw the tenacity of the Chu army, and the Chu army also appreciated the strength of the Huns, but do they still need another battle?"

Han Ruzi said calmly: "Let's fight again? The battle has never ended. The soldiers of the Great Chu are on guard, waiting for the Huns in the city."

The interpreter seems to have two faces. When facing the big Dan Yu, he is humble and arrogant. When he turns to the emperor, he immediately becomes arrogant and rude. "The Xiongnu Da Shanyu respectfully told the Emperor of Chu: Jincheng will surely perish, and the Huns will give you a chance to survive. If you don't cherish it, this night will be the time when all the Chu people in the city will perish."

Han Ruzi frowned slightly and asked, "Still dying? Da Chanyu can't think of the word?"

Tong Yi's face flushed slightly, "That's what Da Chanyu meant."

Han Ruzi shook his head, "No, Da Chanyu doesn't just mean this, he is afraid, because it is not the Chu people who are lingering, but the Huns. You told him that when the Huns were withdrawing from Jincheng, I already knew everything. Who do you think arranged the whole plan? You can also tell him that the general of the Chu army outside the Great Wall at the moment is the Wei Su who took away the concubine of the King of Youxian. My will to go out to the frontier to lead the army, with the warm hospitality of Lao Youxian Wang."

The interpreter's face was blushing and uncertain, and he could no longer maintain his arrogant state, so he hurriedly interpreting to Da Shanyu.

A Xiongnu who was sitting on the side suddenly jumped up, roared, drew his sword and rushed to the emperor, was dragged by the others, and shouted loudly.

Han Ruzi didn't squint and knew that this was the King Youxian who had been besieging Jincheng for many days.

Da Shanyu coughed and said a few words, but the interpreter did not interpret it to the emperor. King Youxian put away his knife and sat down with a red face, and the other nobles were also embarrassed.

Da Chanyu turned to the emperor, stared at him for a while, then smiled again, this time with a more obvious smile, which seemed to be more kind, and then he made a call.

"It turned out to be the emperor's arrangement, but does the emperor know that the Huns were besieging the city for many days without attacking, just to lure the Chu army outside the frontier into the trap? Their every step is leading to death, and it won't be long before your chariot general, The head will be sent here."

Han Ruzi did not know that the main force of the Xiongnu army was fighting hard against the Chu army in Yannan at the moment, let alone whether Deng Cui's eastward expedition was going well, but with a confident expression on his face, he smiled and said, "Does Da Chanyu know that the millions of Chu troops have already Surrounded by the Huns, from the moment you entered the customs, you have already entered the trap?"

After listening to the interpretation, Da Chanyu laughed.

The interpreter regained his arrogant expression, "Da Shanyu of the Xiongnu respectfully told the Emperor of Chu: the trapped monarch can still speak madly, the emperor's courage is indeed not small, since we all think the other party has entered a trap, then wait and see, Emperor You don't have to go back, just stay here and wait for the good news."

Han Ruzi had no other choice.

The emperor was arranged to live in a tent near Dadanyu, and the Chu envoys were taken elsewhere, and they were not allowed to see the emperor again. Only the four guards could stay with the emperor.

It was already dark, and the Huns brought wine and meat. Han Ruzi had no appetite at all, but in order not to let the Huns look down on him, he ate a clean meal.

Three guards stood guard outside, and Meng E served the emperor alone. As before, she said she was serving. She seldom served as a servant. Most of the time, she stood by the side and listened to the sounds outside.

Han Ruzi took off his boots and planned to sleep with his clothes on. No outsiders were present. He asked, "When did it happen?"

"It should be tomorrow night." Meng E said.

Han Ruzi sat by the bed and thought for a while, "Besides Deng Cui Dongzheng, there must be more things happening. Da Danyu is waiting for news. I really hope to know what it is."

"I'll ask."

"No, I just said it casually. If you risk it, I won't be able to talk to myself in front of you in the future."

Meng E stopped, hummed, and continued to listen to the voices outside. After a while, she said, "If you need an answer, just tell me."

Han Ruzi smiled and nodded. Meng E wanted to learn the art of the emperor, but what she lacked most was those basic communication skills.

"Maybe the Huns really set up an ambush, it depends on whether Deng Cui can..." Han Ruzi felt restless.

It was destined to be a sleepless night. Although no one was disturbed and there was no worries about breaking the city, Han Ruzi couldn't sleep. It wasn't until the middle of the night that he slept in a daze for a while. I ran in to report the news, and I was interrupted every time at a critical time, but I couldn't tell the exact content...

It was dawn, and the guards outside brought cold water. Han Ruzi had just washed his face when Da Chanyu's interpreter came. He said, a little proudly, "Da Chanyu of Xiongnu invites the emperor of Chu to come over and talk."

Han Ruzi groaned in his heart, but his face remained calm, "Wait a moment, let me change."

There were far fewer Xiongnu nobles in the tent than yesterday, and King Youxian was still there, glaring at the emperor as soon as he saw him.

There were also seven generals of the Great Chu kneeling in the tent, their clothes and armor were broken, obviously after a hard fight.

Da Shanyu nodded lazily, and the interpreter immediately said: "The emperor recognizes these people, do you still think that the Chu army is besieging the Huns?"

The seven generals turned around, kowtowed to the emperor with shame on their faces, and fell to the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

Han Ruzi confirmed that most of them were generals of the Northern Army, and one of them was Feng Shili, who had led troops to interfere with the Huns on several occasions.

Feng Shili also wanted to feint a shot and run away, but failed. The Huns were able to divide a large number of troops while sieging the city to surround the Chu army. After a day and night of hard fighting, some were annihilated and some captured.

However, Han Ruzi breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Deng Cui and Chai Yue had nothing to do, it would be the best news.

"In order to keep the Huns in Jincheng, I have worked hard for the generals, and I will remember your credit in my heart."

The seven generals raised their heads with a dazed look on their faces. They soon touched the ground with their heads. Feng Shili said, "I will do my best..."

The interpreter's face changed slightly, and when he translated it to Da Chanyu, Da Chanyu's face suddenly turned gloomy.

Han Ruzi couldn't guess the changes in the outside world, but Da Chanyu couldn't guess the emperor's true thoughts.
