At Lu's Restaurant, Gan Si came to the third floor and drank wine. It was not until Lu You arrived that he raised his head and glanced at Lu You.
"Brother Gan, why is this?"
Lu You entered the private room and looked at Gan Si's unhappy look with curiosity on his face.
While he was talking, Cen Qing, who was standing beside him, happened to enter the room with two women and an artist, carrying a wooden tray.
"Brother Gan, didn't you go to the county governor's house today? Did something happen?"
Lu You came to the wooden table on the other side, slowly knelt down and looked at Gan Si.
Previously, Gan Si was promoted to Cheng Cheng in less than two years after serving as an official. The Lu family, or Lu You's father Lu Jia, secretly contributed a lot, so now he is looking at the depressed Gan Si and Lu.
You didn't understand why Gan Si, who should have been so proud, had such an expression.
"The Huns went south and attacked the Yanmen Mountain Pass and Pingcheng in Yanmen County!"
When Gan Si saw Lu You, he didn't hide it. This was just a matter of telling him in advance, not a big deal.
And looking at Xi'er, who is now quite famous in Shanwu City, Gan Si is not confused. If he remembers correctly, he had seen this woman named Xi'er with his own eyes in the restaurant.
He was whipped in the yard behind him. For some unknown reason, he was suddenly taken care of by a restaurant. I heard it was related to Bai Yan.
Gan Si did not dare to inquire about the specific matter without permission, but he also understood that this woman did not need to be too suspicious. If there was any problem, the restaurant would deal with it as soon as possible and would not let Bai Yan's reputation be misused.
Gan Si is a smart man and knows that those rumors have been circulating for a long time, but now this woman is still standing in front of him, which proves that the rumors are not from the dragon's lair. Even if this woman is not Bai Yan's woman, she must be related to her.
Bai Yan has some connections.
"What? Are the Huns really going south?"
When Lu You heard Gan Si's words, his breathing became rapid and uneasy.
Unlike Gan Si, he had experienced the Xiongnu's raids from the south when he was in Gaonu, Shangjun. At that time, if it hadn't been for Bai Yan's order, he and his parents would have been catastrophic. Later, when he returned to Gaonu, he also visited
There were countless charcoal corpses all over the city, and I had also seen countless tombs under the mountains, and the valley roads in the mountains stained red with blood.
Therefore, Lu You knew how terrifying it was for the Xiongnu to go south.
"Don't worry! The county lieutenant has already led the army and is stationed in Yanmen Mountain and Pingcheng in advance! Besides, the Huns are not really attacking Yanmen this time. The real purpose of the Huns is to fight in Yishui!"
Gan Si felt Lu You's worry and explained.
Watching the woman next to her filling the wine baron in front of her with wine, Gan Si picked it up with both hands and gestured to Lu You.
When Lu You heard what Gan Si said, he was surprised when Bai Yan came back, but after thinking about it, he quickly picked up the wine cup and drank with Gan Si.
In the private room.
Cen Qing, who was leading the woman to put the food and wine on the wooden table, was filled with surprise when she heard Gan Si's words. She didn't expect that Bai Yan had already returned to Yanmen.
When she heard that the Huns were marching south, Cen Qing was a little worried, and when she thought that the young man had led troops to Yanmen Mountain, Cen Qing was even more worried. Although she had not had much contact with the Huns, she had often heard of them.
It was very cruel, but fortunately I heard what the county magistrate said later that it seemed that the Huns were not really attacking Yanmen Mountain and Pingcheng.
"Brother Gan is saying that the Huns' purpose is to go south to Yishui? Could it be that the Huns want to help the Yan Kingdom?"
After Lu You put down the wine jue, he looked up at Gan Si.
Gan Si nodded, and then told what happened in the governor's house two days ago.
During the conversation, Lu Youdang learned that Bai Yan had already expected that the Xiongnu Chanyu would lead the Xiongnu army south to Yishui, and he was completely worried about blocking it. Since Bai Yan had already predicted the Xiongnu's plan, Yanmen was determined to
There will be no more danger.
"With the county captain at Yanmen, we have nothing to worry about!"
After hearing this, Lu You said with a smile. Seeing that the woman beside him had already poured the wine, he picked up the wine cup and motioned Gan Si to have another drink.
After drinking.
Lu You, who felt at ease, thought of the Xiongnu and mentioned with a smile the battle at Gaonu in Shangjun a long time ago. At the beginning of the battle, Bai Yan issued an order. At that time, he and his father shook their heads helplessly.
I believed Bai Yan's words until later.
The quiet private room was filled with Lu You's voice.
But Cen Qing was a little lost in thought, and she had a better understanding of the young man's experience. It was not until a woman reminded her that Cen Qing came back to her senses. After seeing that the food and drinks had been served, she stood up and left.
Shortly after Cen Qing left, the door to the private room opened again, but this time two men entered.
Under the curious gazes of Gan Si and Lu You, the leading man came to Gan Si and bowed his hands in front of Gan Si.
"Gancheng Cheng, General Bai asked the two of us to come and hand this letter to Cheng Cheng!"
After the man finished speaking, he stepped forward and took out a roll of bamboo slips from his arms and handed it to Gan Si.
Gan Si was confused when he heard the letter was brought by Bai Yan's order, but he still reached out to take it. When he saw the content, it said that Peng Yi of the Gate Tower might rebel against Qin, Gan Si's pupils shrank and his face changed drastically.
.
After reading it, Gan Si put away the bamboo slips and tried to calm down.
First of all, what Gan Si is most confused about is why Bai Yan gave this news to him and asked him to investigate secretly, instead of directly letting people bring a letter to inform the censor Shi Mijing.
After thinking of something, Gan Si's face suddenly became ecstatic.
"When will General Bai come back?"
Gan Si raised his head and looked at the leading man.
However, when the man faced Gan Si's inquiry, he shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
See the situation.
Lu You couldn't help but want to wait for the man to leave and ask Gan Si what happened, but he never thought that Gan Si had already stood up, said goodbye to him in a hurry, then turned and walked out of the private room.
Lu You stood up and stood behind the wooden table, looking at all this with a blank expression, confused.
Northern grasslands.
As the sun scorched, thousands of men in different clothes appeared on the grassland riding horses.
The sound of thousands of horses galloping became louder and louder. Without exception, everyone was a Huns.
And just behind a hill, another army of tens of thousands of people on horseback also appeared in front of the Huns. Under the order of Touman Shanyu, the leader of the Huns, all the Huns stopped in place.
Touman Shanyu, leader of the Huns, brought
Less than two years later, the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu gathered together again. However, the combined number of the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu once totaled 150,000. Now, the number is less than 120,000.
It was not that the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu did not have fresh blood to replenish, but the main reason was that after the failure of the southward raid on the Qin Shangjun, the two tribes continued to fight together to the death.
"Woohoooooooo~!"
I saw a Yuezhi man coming on horseback in the distance, and a young Huns beside Touman Shanyu opened his mouth and made a strange roar, like a strange bird. This Huns had been writing a book tightly in his hand.
A scimitar dagger.
Judging from the age of the young Huns, he is only in his early twenties. However, half of his naked upper body reveals extremely strong and strong muscles, and a few scars are very conspicuous. It is obvious that in the Xiongnu tribe, although this young Xiongnu is not old, he is very powerful.
But extremely powerful.
There was a sudden strange sound, and the Yuezhi people riding horses not far away could not hear the strong provocation.
Especially when I saw that after the Huns provoked me, countless shouts rang out from the Huns army in the distance.
As Yuezhi people, next to Princess Yangjin, the two young Yuezhi people also had red eyes.
"Oooh~!!!"
Following the shouts of two young Yuezhi people.
Among the Yuezhi tribe, there were countless Yuezhi men on horseback who responded with scimitars raised, their eyes and expressions revealing madness.
Suddenly, the atmosphere between the Yuezhi people and the Huns, who had not yet approached each other, began to become tense.
"Gu Jaw!"
Touman Shanyu turned his head and scolded the young Huns.
If it were anyone else, Touman Chanyu would have already drawn his sword and killed the other person. However, looking at Gu Jaw, whose eyes were red and filled with hatred and ferociousness, Touman Chanyu was rare and did not get angry.
No one else! This Gu Jia’s father is named Sangjia. He was once the most loyal tribal leader under his command. After he was ambushed by the Qin army in Shangjun, he asked Sangjia to lead the Huns army to guard the Yunshan Pass.
, but unexpectedly, the Yuezhi suddenly rebelled and almost killed all the Huns staying at Yunshan Pass.
Although Sangjia escaped, he was seriously injured and managed to save his life. Later in the fight with the Yuezhi, he was caught by the Yuezhi because of his injuries and was hung alive to feed the wolves.
"Ah~!"
When Gu Jia heard Tou Man Shan Yu's words, he looked up to the sky and roared unwillingly, and then looked at the Yuezhi people with red eyes, his toothy mouth full of saliva.
this moment.
Gu Jia's hand holding the scimitar handle was bleeding slowly.
When Touman Shanyu saw Gu Jia calm down, he was relieved. He turned to look at Yang Jin walking in the distance. Touman Shanyu's heart was full of sneers. This time, he must catch this woman, every day.
Play with it under the body.
“I’ve met Princess Yangjin!”
Touman Shanyu rode forward, raised a hand on his chest, and said to Yang Jin.
His appearance was to say hello, but Touman Shanyu's appearance and the anger in his eyes were undisguised.
"Touman Shanyu!"
Yang Jin also raised his hand and spoke to Touman Shanyu.
Both sides understand that the other wants to die, but at the moment, no one says anything.
"Presumably Princess Yangjin also received a gift from Zhao Ren Guo Zong!"
Touman Shanyu said.
For Touman Shanyu, this was the most angry thing. When he learned that Guo Zong actually sent horseshoe nails and stirrups to the Yuezhi, Touman Shanyu was so angry that he directly killed Guo Zong's people with his own hands.
Kill him and chop his head off.
But no matter how angry he was, Touman Shanyu knew that if he fell out with Guo Zong and reneged on his promise to Guo Zong, Guo Zong would definitely turn around and support Donghu and Yuezhi, and let the two tribes unite and eliminate them.
He is a Huns.
"This time, I hope Princess Yangjin won't go back on her word again! She'll do something dirty behind her back!"
When Touman Shanyu said this, his rough face looked straight at Yang Jin with two eyes.
Yang Jin naturally knew what Touman Shanyu was talking about, and a sneer appeared on his face.
"Then I hope Touman Chanyu won't take any more things that don't belong to the Xiongnu!"
Yang Jin said.
The Huns resented what happened to the Yuezhi at Yunshan Pass. The Yuezhi people also resented the Huns. When they were in Gaonu, Shangjun, more than 30,000 Yuezhi people were burned to death.
As Touman Shanyu and Yang Jin looked at each other, Touman Shanyu smiled and looked at Yang Jin with eyes full of contempt.
"It's useless to talk more. Let's go south as agreed!"
After Touman Shanyu finished speaking, he turned his horse and headed back in the direction of the Huns army.
Gu Jia and the other Huns, riding horses, looked at the Yuezhi people beside Princess Yangjin with murderous intent.
The same is true for the Yuezhi people next to Princess Yangjin. Especially among the two-month men who responded to Gu Jia just now, the father of one of them was still beheaded by Gu Jia himself. I heard that
After Gu Jia inherited his father's women, he also used it to pee on those women at night.
And these are just the tip of the iceberg in the deadly feud between the Yuezhi people and the Huns.
But just as Touman Shanyu was about to leave, he suddenly noticed that there were several Yuezhi people on horseback not far away, riding in a hurry.
With doubts.
Touman Chanyu reined in his horse and left in no hurry.
And after waiting for a while, under the gaze of Touman Shanyu, although Touman Shanyu didn't know what those Yueshi people said to Yang Jin, it was obvious that Yang Jin raised his head in panic.
, the expression was extremely frightening, and even the other people around Princess Yangjin seemed to be panicking, and even forgot to look at Gu Jia with hostility.
Seeing this scene, Touman Chanyu frowned slightly. As the leader of the Xiongnu, he had led the Xiongnu tribe to fight against the Yuezhi countless times. He was keenly aware that something had happened to the Yuezhi.
And the strange thing is.
Yamucha, who Touman Shanyu has always been very afraid of, actually did not follow Yang Jin. Among the Yuezhi tribe, there are many people who can make Touman Shanyu admit that he cannot kill easily, but Touman can make Shanyu admit that he cannot kill easily.
There are not many people who are afraid of Shan Yu.
Yamucha is one of them.
Even compared to all the Yuezhi kings, Yuezhi elders, etc., in the eyes of Touman Shanyu, the most dangerous one is Yamucha.
But this time when going south, Yang Jin came in person for such an important matter, but Yao Mucha was not there.
"Gu Jaw!"
Touman Shanyu turned his head and spoke to Gu Jia.
Then, under the gaze of other tribal leaders around him, Touman Chanyu glanced at the Yuezhi army opposite.
"I have a premonition that something big will happen to the Yuezhi. Remember, after you go south, you and Murto will lead the people from your respective tribes to stay behind. Once the Yuezhi returns, you will follow them secretly. Remember
Stop, don't act rashly, or I will kill you all!"
Touman Shanyu turned to Gu Jia and Murto and ordered.
This time, Touman Shanyu's eyes were extremely serious. Whether it was Gu Jia, Murtuo, or the leaders of other tribes, they could see that even Gu Jia, if Touman Shanyu disobeyed Touman Shanyu's order this time, Touman
Shan Yu would kill him with his own hands.
"Gu Jaw obeys your orders!"
"Murto obeys!!"
Gu Jia and Murto quickly raised their hands and put them on their chests, lowered their heads, and expressed their submission and respect to Man Shanyu.
"Chanyu, if something goes wrong with the Yuezhi tribe, do you want it?"
After Muertuo saluted, he glanced at the Yuezhi tribe. Seeing something strange about the Yuezhi tribe, he turned to look at Touman Chanyu.
His meaning is extremely simple. Since there is a problem somewhere with the Yuezhi, should we stop going south? If there is really a problem with the Yuezhi, then if there is a chance, the Huns may not be able to take the opportunity to destroy the Yuezhi.
"Don't worry, I haven't figured out what happened to the Yuezhi yet. Remember, if you want to get rid of the Yuezhi, you have to do it when the Yuezhi is at its weakest, instead of supporting the Yuezhi."
Touman Chanyu naturally understood what Murtuo meant, but Touman Chanyu was able to unite all the tribes and form the Hun Empire, so it was naturally more than just force.
When he sensed that something might have happened to Yuezhi, but did not see Yamucha, Touman Shanyu had already vaguely guessed something, but could not guarantee it.
Under such circumstances, Touman Shanyu would naturally choose to go south first. Anyway, Yanmen was already the meat of the Huns' pot. After plundering Yanmen and getting news about the Yuezhi, he would decide whether to help Guo Guo.
If he wants to do something wrong, he should immediately return to the north and rush to Yuezhi.
"As you command!"
Murto heard Touman Shanyu's words and responded.
Seeing Tou Man Shanyu riding away, Murto and Gu Jia looked at each other. Then they both turned to look in the direction of the Yuezhi army. After taking a look, they turned around and followed Tou Man Shan Yu.
Half an hour later.
Amidst the thunderous sound of tens of thousands of horse hooves, the Huns army, like a black sea of people, rushed southward on the northern grasslands.
And just to the south of the Xiongnu army, what comes into view is a tall, rolling mountain range.
north.
After seeing the Xiongnu army moving south, the news that the Yuezhi army had been suppressed by Yang Jin finally dissipated.
In the Yuezhi tribe, Yamucha led his tribe to rebel and has captured the Yuezhi King!
For a moment, the entire Yuezhi army was in panic! Full of uneasiness!
Cen Qing's identity is destined to be exposed, but not now, but in the future when other noble families investigate. She is the best witness to prove Bai Yan's origins.
This is also the reason why Cen Qing is in Shanwu City, Yanmen. The reason, excluding Tian Feiyan, is a coincidence of fate, or Tian Feiyan's good husband appearance.
