Chapter 235 This is your family's three thousand wounded soldiers?
Wu Lita suddenly asked: "The Han people are cunning, how can you guarantee that you will not invade the Yaojin Granary again?"
Su Yu replied respectfully but resolutely: "Wuhuan and Shenghan are rare big countries in the world. A big country must have faith to conquer the barbarians. How can I, the Holy Han Dynasty, violate the treaty commitments and hold back the ridicule?
reviled by future generations
?This agreement is to be recorded in history books and passed down through the ages. We Han people will never let future generations call our ancestors liars when they mention them. Others live for themselves, and we live for future generations."
Wu Ri Lai shook his plump head, and the earrings on his ears made a jingling sound. These earrings are a characteristic of Wuhuan people. Wuhuan men must start wearing earrings after they turn eighteen, but only khans are eligible.
Wearing earrings on both ears, generally men are only allowed to wear them on the right ear. At first, Wuhuan people
In order to show their wealth, they would pierce many ears and wear them. Later, Wuhuan Khan ordered that up to three earrings can be worn on one ear, so the Wuhuan rich tried their best to decorate it. This Wuri Lai wears on his right ear.
Wearing three gold and jade earrings, they make jingling sounds when you shake your head.
Su Yu stared at his earrings and thought to himself that the habits of the Wuhuan people were really perverted. Only women in the Central Plains wore earrings. Of course, if a man wore earrings, he might be a male actor, that is, a male prostitute.
Wuri Lailai thought for a while, and suddenly said with a sinister smile: "Wuhuan people don't believe in verbal promises. In order to express sincerity, your country needs to marry a princess to my son. From then on, Wuhuan and the holy man will be married.
, only then can we believe your sincerity.”
Su Yu was surprised and said: "Marriage?"
"Please convey this request to the emperor." After Wu Ri Lai said this, he drove Su Yu out of the camp.
Su Yu returned to the camp dejectedly and told the Wuhuan people's request. Zhang Xiaowu didn't take it seriously, but Su Yu was helpless. In the more than three hundred years of the Holy Han Empire, there were only three princesses getting married, but there were hundreds of them.
The second Fanbang princess was married. Princesses from the Holy Han Empire occasionally got married, but it was the Fanbang vassal country that begged to marry the princess in order to beg for favor from the superior kingdom.
In the past hundred years, there has been no precedent for a princess to marry, let alone to beg for peace with a foreign tribe by marrying a princess. Su Yu judged that based on the integrity of the literati in the court and Du Shanbo's temper, it was absolutely impossible to negotiate peace.
Zhang Xiaowu, however, didn't take it seriously and said, "She's just a princess. The royal family has no humanity, and they never regard their brothers and sisters as relatives." He considered Su Yu's concerns and wanted to say, "Go tell Wu Huan again.
People, we also have a condition. In order to express the sincerity of the Wuhuan people, we allow three thousand wounded soldiers to be evacuated from Jincheng and returned to the Central Plains first. Wuhuan and other dog barbarians are not allowed to pursue them."
Su Yu seriously doubted whether the Wuhuan people would agree to this request, but he did not expect that the Wuhuan people agreed and allowed them to evacuate from the original Beiyi camp. Su Yu said that the Wuhuan people were so kind, Zhang Xiaowu
He sneered and said that the Wuhuan people's move was just to make the people in Jincheng
The morale of the army was in chaos. He thought that the people in Jincheng would fight among themselves for the quota of three thousand people to escape. Su Yu also expressed concern. Zhang Xiaowu said that the evacuation list would of course be left to Gu Yong to decide. You and I don't need to worry, so he sent Ruan Qingwen again.
Entered Jincheng and agreed on an evacuation time.
After Ruan Qingwen arrived in Jincheng, he notified Gu Yong of the evacuation news. Gu Yong smiled confidently and passed the news to Jincheng. The soldiers and civilians of Jincheng were greatly cheered up. Everyone wanted to leave Jincheng, but at this time
Everyone was too embarrassed to express their wish to evacuate. After holding on for half a year, more than half of the people were killed or injured. Whoever escaped first would be ridiculed.
Gu Yong personally selected 20,000 civilians and wounded soldiers, carried weapons and supplies, and evacuated from the Beiyi camp overnight.
Zhang Xiaowu's 300 cavalrymen thought that Jincheng would evacuate 3,000 wounded soldiers, but they did not expect that Jincheng evacuated as many as 20,000 people, and they were stunned.
Zhang Xiaowu grabbed Ruan Qingwen's collar and said, "What's going on? These are your three thousand wounded soldiers? They don't have more than 10,000, so I ate the black tiger!" Heihu, the war horse, sat down and sneezed, as if to say
What did you do to me when you were angry? Why did you eat me?
Ruan Qingwen smiled bitterly and did not explain. He handed over a letter and said, "General Gu's explanations are all in the letter. You will understand after reading it."
Zhang Xiaowu opened the letter, but only saw eight big words: "Unparalleled scholar of the country, pillar of the empire." He couldn't help but cursed: "Gu Yong, you big liar! Why are you pretending to be such a big-tailed wolf! I will never believe you again!" Zhang Xiaowu said to Gu Yong
Yong didn't have a good impression, and it became even worse now.
Seeing that he had thrown away the letter, Ruan Qingwen hurriedly picked it up and said with a wry smile: "Now that the enemy is facing us, we must not do this, and the military advisor has worked very hard."
"Now, is the enemy facing us?" Zhang Xiaowu said with a disdainful smile, "When Tucheng fell last year, it was also the enemy that faced the enemy. How come we didn't see him so righteous and righteous?"
"The fault is not with the military advisor, but with the prince..." Ruan Qingwen argued, "Depose the prince."
Zhang Xiaowu sneered and said: "The deposed prince is a murderer, but he is also the same, so an accomplice is not a murderer? As far as I am concerned, the deposed prince is an enemy, and he Gu Yong is also one of the enemies. Now I am saving the soldiers and civilians of Jincheng, but not
He cares about Yong."
Ruan Qingwen urged: "Sir, so many people have died in Saibei, do you still want more people to die? The Qinglong Army has 270,000 people, nearly 300,000 people, how many people are there now? Look, you
See how many more there are?"
Zhang Xiaowu gritted his teeth and glanced at the 20,000 wounded civilians. Each of their faces was filled with the desire to survive and the excitement of seeing reinforcements. Zhang Xiaowu knew that his personal grudges were in front of so many lives.
It was really not worth mentioning, so he had to endure this tone for the time being, turned around and said: "Ruan Sima, I will not forgive the prince and Gu Yong.
I can't avenge myself now, but I must seek justice for them in the future. However, these soldiers are innocent, and I must save them. Li Yuan led people to explore the road and lead the army. I personally ordered them, and we withdrew the army overnight. Those gangsters
Although the Huan people have acquiesced to our withdrawal, if they go back on their word, tens of thousands of us, the old, weak, sick and disabled, will be the targets of the Wuhuan cavalry."
"Here!" Li Yuan turned his horse and led a group of cavalry to quickly explore the road and lead the army. The 20,000 wounded soldiers and civilians saw that although the number of reinforcements was wrong, they were in order. The leader was confident and proud of the future, and immediately followed him with peace of mind.
They evacuated very quickly. They passed Yashan in one day and one night, and then turned to Guan Road and moved forward quickly. Fortunately, the weather was warm at this time, and occasionally small lakes were formed in some low-lying places due to the melting of snow.
People would die on the road due to lack of water and cold weather. However, dozens of people died from the disease every day, and Zhang Xiaowu had nothing to do about it. There were not only markers along the way, but also new graves.
The road signs leading home became graveyards. Under the afterglow of the northern part of the Great Wall, a group of hyenas began to dig holes and hunt for corpses, but no one paid attention.
