Early the next morning, Ji Jie took Rou Yue and led the personal guards to Kuolun's formation. Zhou Yan's coalition forces were waiting three miles away. The brightly armored coalition forces made the Huns tremble with fear.
Kuo Lun looked far into the distance, and after watching for a while he sighed: "No wonder the Rongdi people are not their opponents. In terms of horsemanship, the Rongdi people are no less than us Huns, but their troops are too small to be compared with us. !Ji Jie can beat the Xiongnu king and flee westward, he must be superior to others!"
"Yes!" The general around him nodded and said: "At first, everyone didn't understand the reason why you chose to defend. We obviously have more people than them! Now it seems that your decision is so wise. Zhou Yan's coalition forces With a hint of evil spirit, if we rashly start a war with them, we will most likely suffer the consequences!"
"Report, a team of people has arrived in front of the battle!" The messenger reported: "The person who came here calls himself Ji Jie, Zhaowen Jun of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there is also a girl wearing Xiongnu costumes who calls herself Princess Rouyue and wants to see you! "
Kuo Lun frowned. He knew that when King Baishan rebelled, Rouyue and Achi were not in the royal city of Shanyu, but in Dazhou. The two siblings escaped death because of this. Could it be that it was really her?
Then you have to see it.
"Let's go out with me and take a look!" Kuo Lun said.
"Wait a minute!" The general quickly stepped forward and said, "If it's a fake, you'll be in danger. This is probably Ji Jie's conspiracy to trick you out and then attack you!"
"But what if it's really Princess Rouyue?"
"Then bring more people with you!"
"All right!"
Surrounded by a crowd, Kuo Lun rode out of the camp. After all, his Nanyuan tribe was originally a tribe loyal to the King of the Huns. Although he was forced to bow to the King of Baishan due to the situation, in the end, this was an act of treason. .
It was really Rouyue, Kuo Lun's face became ugly.
"Brother Kuo Lun, my little sister is polite!" Rou Yue saluted Kuo Lun.
Kuo Lun shook his head and said: "Princess, my Nanyuan clan is sorry for you, and also sorry for the dead King of the Huns! My father and two younger brothers are still in their hands, and I have to obey the orders of King Baishan. Please forgive me if I offend you." Please forgive me!"
When Kuo Lun saw that there were only dozens of people behind Rou Yue, he guessed her purpose. It was obvious that she was here to lobby, so as soon as he opened his mouth, he put himself in a more active position to avoid Rou Yue's misfortune. After Yue opened her mouth, it was hard for her to refuse.
Rou Yue smiled and said: "Even my father was not aware of King Baishan's conspiracy, and King Nanyuan was even less aware of it. Brother Kuo Lun, please don't blame yourself for this matter! What I want to say is that you and I both I know the character of King Baishan very well. He is cunning and cunning, and he repays kindness with hatred. Are you willing to sacrifice your life for such a person? Even if you are sincere to him, I am afraid he will never trust you. Otherwise, why would he detain your father and brother? Woolen cloth?"
Kuo Lun understands these principles, but with his family in the hands of the White Mountain King, he can only throw the enemy away.
Kuo Lun said helplessly: "Now I can only listen to King Baishan to save the lives of my family. Your Highness, I really have no other way. Don't embarrass me. As long as you don't go north again, I won't embarrass you." Yours!"
Rou Yue wanted to continue lobbying, but Ji Jie winked.
Rou Yue understood and said: "Okay, let's go back first. Brother Kuo Lun, take care of yourself!"
"Take care, princess!"
On the way back, Rouyue asked Ji Jie why she didn't let her continue.
Ji Jie explained: "You and I both know that the Nanyuan clan was forced to become my enemy under pressure. I can see that Kuo Lun is a stubborn person, and there will be no gains if I continue. I already have an idea. When the time comes, not only will he He will make way for you, and he is very likely to join our camp."
Rouyue Bingxue was smart and quickly thought of Ji Jie's meaning, and asked with some excitement: "You want to rescue King Nanyuan and his two sons, right?"
"That's right!" Ji Jie nodded and said: "King Nanyuan was originally your father's man, and he was imprisoned in Shanyu King's City. He suffered such shame and humiliation. He must have hated King Baishan in his heart. As long as we can rescue him, he will We must join in and fight against this white-eyed wolf, King Baishan!"
"It makes sense! But I heard that the royal city is now firmly controlled by King Baishan's people, and no one knows where King Nanyuan is being held. How can he be rescued?"
"It's quite troublesome to implement it specifically. Let's discuss it carefully when we go back!"
"OK!"
Returning to the main formation, Ji Jie immediately ordered the army to retreat thirty miles and set up camp. No one was allowed to fight, and then discussed the rescue.
Rescue is a mission that goes deep behind enemy lines. It is not advisable to have too many operators. Against all opinions, Ji Jie decided to go alone with Rou Yue. During his absence, Ji Lin was solely responsible for the affairs of the coalition forces. The other generals performed their duties and strictly guarded the camp. Safety.
At night, in the Chinese army's tent, the clouds have cleared and the rain has stopped.
Ji Lin lay comfortably in Ji Jie's arms, pouted and said, "Why don't you let me go with you? My parents look like Huns, at least better than you!"
The reason Ji Jie didn't let Xiong Ba and Xiong Bi go together was that they didn't look like the Huns and could easily reveal their secrets. In fact, he himself also looked like a Central Plains person, so why wasn't he afraid of being recognized?
As for Ji Lin, there are two reasons why she is not allowed to go. Who will control the generals if she leaves? Let’s talk about Zhao Ling and Ji Jian. Once something happens, someone must stand up and take charge of the overall situation. These two guys have the same official position. , it is difficult to make one person obey the command of another, and it will inevitably lead to chaos.
Secondly, because of Ji Lin's eldest lady's temper, going to Shanyu King's City is not a trivial matter. If she loses her temper at any time, she may be exposed and the mission will be aborted.
Of course, Ji Jie would not tell her the second reason in front of her. He would emphasize her importance and look like I wouldn't be relieved if you didn't stay here.
Ji Lin was very satisfied with his explanation and happily promised him to ensure the safety of the coalition forces.
"Ji Jie, are you asleep?" Rou Yue's voice sounded outside the tent.
"I haven't slept yet!" Ji Jie replied.
"It's so late, why is she looking for you?" Ji Lin's words smelled of jealousy.
Ji Jie shrugged and said, "Maybe she's going to leave tomorrow, so she's not sure! You go to bed first, and I'll talk to her. It's not good to go on the road under pressure!"
"Oh!" Ji Lin nodded obediently.
Ji Jie put on her coat and walked out of the tent. Rou Yue was looking up at the stars in the sky.
"What's wrong?" Ji Jie asked with a smile. The early spring night was still a bit cold. Seeing that Rouyue was wearing thin clothes, he took off his cloak and wrapped it around her shoulders.
"Thank you!" Rouyue had a complicated look in her eyes.
Ji Jie could imagine the uneasiness in her heart. Shan Yu Wangcheng was the place where she grew up. It should have been a warm home, but her father died tragically there. The home was also occupied by her father's enemies. She felt like she could not return to her home.
