Chapter 549
The god and ghost Danyu escaped like this. Han Ruzi was furious. He did not want to escape, but he still attacked at night. Although the number of people was far fewer than the Huns, he was still not afraid.
"The first evil is Da Shanyu of the Huns. He let the enemy chiefs go, and he will be punished. Jin Chunzhong, if you go to the Huns camp immediately, you will say that I miss my brother, and I will go to visit in person tonight."
"But the King of the East Sea has been taken away and is not in the camp." Jin Chunzhong did not respond.
Han Ruzi sneered, "Of course, so Da Shanyu will explain to me in person when he is panicked. What I want is this moment."
Jin Chunzhong was stunned, glanced at Zhao Ruosu in the corner, and said blankly, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty wants to..."
"I'll be an assassin too."
Jin Chunzhong rarely expressed his opposition to the emperor, but at this time he shook his head vigorously, "Absolutely not, Your Majesty, the Huns already have the intention of attacking the camp. If your Majesty is here, isn't it self-defeating?"
"Da Chanyu, the Xiongnu, didn't react so quickly. This man is not strong-willed, he acts forward and backward, and he is easily influenced by others. When I visit suddenly, it will definitely surprise him. He can't make a decisive decision. Send me away with words."
Jin Chunzhong recognized the emperor's judgment on the character of the Xiongnu Da Chanyu, but he could not agree with the emperor's adventure plan. He was about to persuade him when the emperor said, "Jin Chunzhong, execute the order."
Jin Chunzhong froze in his heart, and dared not speak any more, he bowed and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, I, I will go."
"Wait a minute, the commander of the battalion will be here soon. After I arrange it, I will bring the guards to the Huns camp with you."
As soon as the voice fell, the guard outside the tent preached: "Your Majesty, the generals are here."
Zhao Ruosu took a few steps forward and said to the outside before the emperor, "A few generals please wait a moment."
Dare to make a decision before the emperor, even when the emperor's position is not too stable, it is unimaginable arrogance and boldness, Jin Chunzhong was extremely surprised and stared at Zhao Ruosu.
Zhao Ruosu was not afraid, turned to the emperor and said, "When will your majesty stop using strange tricks?"
"Aren't the tricks bad?" Han Ruzi was not so surprised, nor was he angry.
"Okay, but it can't last, unless there is no better choice, it can't be used often. In this battle with the West, His Majesty's great victory in Guanzhong is a strange move. The enemy's army is still the Chu army outside the Great Wall, without their restraint, the so-called magic tricks will not be used."
"I understand what you mean. Now is the time when there is no better choice. The Huns let the enemy chiefs go. This is disrespectful. How can the Chu army endure such humiliation? Besides, my strategy seems to be risky. If you lose Da Chanyu, you will immediately fall into chaos, and you will be defeated without a fight."
"The problem is to take nine out of ten. If you are an ordinary person, you only look at the 'nine certainties'. Your Majesty is the emperor, and it depends on the 'one loss'. If your majesty has a 'one loss', can it be worth the previous 'nine certainties'? Da Chu has finally stabilized. His Majesty is young and there will be no rebels for decades. Many previous problems will be solved. The revival of Da Chu is just around the corner. Young, the empress dowager and the queen are at odds, and there is another open and secret struggle, the ministers are at a loss, and there is no hope of revival."
Jin Chunzhong couldn't believe his ears. Zhao Ruosu was a guilty person. He was rescued from the enemy camp just now. It's okay to be ungrateful. ", but he really only gave "decades".
What made Jin Chunzhong even more unbelievable was that the emperor, who had already said one thing, was not angry, but lowered his head and pondered.
Zhao Ruosu refused to accept it as soon as he saw it, and added: "There is another problem with the so-called magic trick. Everything is decided by Your Majesty. Instead, the ministers will hand in hand. If things go on like this, His Majesty will have to govern the world by himself. I have to ask again, Has Your Majesty decided how to be the emperor who speaks his mind?"
Han Ruzi pondered for a moment, then said, "Let the generals come in."
Jin Chunzhong did not dare to disobey the emperor at all, and hurried to the door to summon him.
The five generals entered the tent one after another and bowed respectfully to the emperor, unaware of the previous controversy.
Han Ruzi recounted the situation in front of him, and did not mention the plan to assassinate the Xiongnu Da Chanyu, but asked the generals for their opinions.
The five generals looked at each other and spoke one after another, all suggesting to retreat at night.
Han Ruzi asked how to retreat, "Once the Huns find that the Chu army is retreating, they will certainly pursue them. The Chu army is already small, and it will be more difficult to resist the Huns' cavalry on the way to retreat."
The five generals did not panic, and made suggestions one after another: there should be more torches in the camp to confuse the Huns, at least to ensure that they will not be detected before dawn; the troops should be divided into two teams, the emperor led a few people to ride lightly in front, and get in touch with the Chu army a hundred miles away as soon as possible. , Due to the previous arrangement, there were several Chu army camps on the way back, and they were guarding each other, not afraid of the attack of the Huns.
Jin Chunzhong also became more courageous and said, "I will go to the Huns camp and try to delay Da Chanyu as much as possible."
After everyone finished speaking, Han Ruzi carefully weighed it. He once relied on the imperial court and let Zai and others take care of things, but the result was not very satisfactory. After the victory, he would have to repeat the old mistakes?
Han Ruzi glanced at Zhao Ruosu, turned his head and said to the generals: "Just follow your plan, send orders immediately, and set off as soon as possible. Jin Chunzhong, you don't have to go to the Huns camp, it's too dangerous, and it's useless."
"With my sister here, there will be no danger. Just as His Majesty said, the Xiongnu Dan was hesitant to be a man. Hearing that His Majesty has left, he might give up the pursuit, so as not to break with the Great Chu."
Once Han Ruzi made a decision, he didn't hesitate, "Okay, you go and greet the Xiongnu Da Chanyu for me, and said that I had to go because of an urgent matter. Da Chu and the Huns joined forces to defeat the strong enemy, and the brotherhood became deeper and deeper. , I hope that one day I will be able to drink happily. If I meet in a hurry, I will not take it as a courtesy.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Just two quarters of an hour later, the soldiers of the Chu army led their horses out of the camp quietly, leaving tents, torches and other items in place, walked several miles, mounted their horses and galloped.
Han Ruzi did not leave the team, only sent a small number of scouts to vanguard. He himself stayed with the army, and would never let the team have any confusion.
On the afternoon of the third day, the figures of the Huns appeared in the north. There were not many figures. It seemed that they were scouts who came to inquire about the situation.
After obtaining the consent of the emperor, the general of the army ordered the soldiers to dismount and walk, with bows and crossbows full of strings, and to be vigilant.
There were more and more Huns, and the number had surpassed the Chu army, but they never launched an attack.
On the fifth day, the Chu army was forced to feed on war horses, and finally welcomed the Chu army in the rear. The two armies merged and their strength exceeded 4,000, but the number was still weak.
The soldiers were still nervous, but Han Ruzi was relieved. The Xiongnu Dadan wanted to kill the Emperor of Chu in a fit of anger, but after losing the opportunity, he became hesitant again, apparently wanting to find a way between Chu and the West. Both sources.
Jin Chunzhong's eloquence looks good.
Another group of Chu troops came to greet them, and the Huns retreated completely. Before leaving, they sent messengers over, claiming that they were escorting the emperor under the order of Da Chanyu. Seeing that the emperor was no longer in danger, they stopped sending them away. A gift left by the emperor, and a batch of food such as wine, meat and cheese.
The food was delivered in a timely manner, and Han Ruzi of course accepted it and sent someone to express his gratitude to the Hun envoy without mentioning the ghosts and ghosts.
The Great Chu and the Xiongnu did not openly break with each other.
Han Ruzi understood that the Great Chu and the Huns could not become true "brothers" after all, and the millennium war would continue.
The return journey was relatively slow, and after a few days, the Chu army met the first batch of Western troops returning home.
Different from the Huns, the Western soldiers were only grateful to the Emperor of Chu and had no objection.
The Chu army stayed for a few days, rested and replenished supplies by the way.
Han Ruzi still had one important thing to do. On a nearby mountain, he sacrificed to the heaven in the manner of the Great Chu. Western generals also sacrificed to the gods in their own way, and then paid homage to the emperor and officially became a minister.
The Western armies passed through batch by batch, and Han Ruzi successively divided more than 70 princes and swore together, and they would sweep away the ghosts and ghosts. It will also be sent to Da Chu, and there will be those who surrender to the common enemy of all countries in the world.
The oath did not mention the Huns.
Perhaps Da Danyu felt panic, and sent his uncle to come to accuse him, claiming that the god and ghost Da Danyu had escaped while the Huns were unprepared.
Han Ruzi agreed to let the envoy of the Huns take an oath on the top of the mountain on behalf of Da Shanyu. He understood that the war was not a temporary thing, and now was not the time to turn against the Huns.
When Han Ruzi returned to Broken Iron City a year later, he met with the generals, discussed meritorious deeds, and at the same time transferred a large number of troops back to the gate.
The north is still cold, but the capital has begun to thaw. The palace, the court and the people have all returned to the city. Looking back on the previous crisis, it seems like a lifetime.
When the emperor arrived, he was greeted with an unprecedented grand welcome. The prime minister led a hundred officials to pick him up in Yingfengzhai, kneeling in the dust, and no one dared to look up.
In Baiqiao Town, the ministers congratulated again, the people almost poured out of the city, knelt on both sides of the road, and the voice of long live continued.
Returning to the capital, it was another time of merit and reward. At the same time, he had to formulate a plan to fight back against the gods and ghosts. Han Ruzi had promised the Western armies that within three years, he would send a large army to the west.
After everything was done, Han Ruzi fell ill. It was not serious, but the injury on his chest had not healed, and he needed to rest and recuperate. Now he is most concerned about Deng Cui and Huang Pugong.
Thousands of miles away, a lonely Chu army was walking, hesitating whether to move on or return to their homeland.
Above the boundless sea, another Chu army had already seen the land, but had not decided whether to land or not.
Dyeing green outside the fortress, Jin Chunzhong, who had been stranded in the Huns for a long time, finally set off on his return journey, bringing with him the hypocrisy of Da Chanyu of the Huns, a letter from his sister Jin Chuiduo, and a young child.
