On April 20th of the first year of Guangwu, a large number of soldiers stood on the wall of Tianyu Pass with weapons.
The soldiers were well-dressed and all looked murderous. Their eyes were focused on the approaching team in the distance.
On the south side of Tianyu Pass, there is a large open space where a large number of troops gathered and long queues lined up on both sides of the city gate.
The most important pass in the northwest, Tianyu Pass has two inner and outer gates, so there are three gates in the north, middle and south.
At this moment, the south gate and the middle gate have been opened. Meng Hai, the commander of Wu Dingwei, and Zhang Ziming, a soldier of the Northwest Governor's Office, are standing side by side in the south gate.
The two people looked solemn and had no communication with each other, blending into the entire solemn atmosphere.
As time passed, a warning came from the city gate.
"Your Majesty, the barbarians have arrived outside the north gate!"
Upon hearing this, Meng Hai glanced at Zhang Ziming, waiting for the order from the envoy from the Governor's Office.
"Open the city gate!" Zhang Ziming said calmly.
At this moment, he is much more vicissitudes than before, simply because he has too many things to be busy with.
"Open the city gate!" Meng Hai shouted at the soldiers in the distance.
Immediately afterwards, soldiers from the North City Gate dozens of meters away began to push the extremely heavy city gate.
The sound of "rumbling" sounded, and a bright light appeared between the city gates. As the gap widened, the Huns outside the gate appeared in front of Meng Hai.
Of course, when the Huns outside the city gate looked inside from the outside, it was a different scene.
The deep city gate, the oppressive barbican, and the eager soldiers on the city wall all made Ding Ling King Yurich feel uneasy.
But at this time, Yurich would never have stage fright, so when all the city gates were opened, Yurich rode into the city gate.
As he passed, the situation inside the first urn city gradually unfolded before his eyes.
On the left and right sides, there were hundreds of armed sergeants standing on each side. The shining spears reminded Yurich of some unpleasant memories.
The cold stares of the Jin soldiers also gave Yu Rich a great sense of oppression, which made his heart beat faster.
Pass through the urn city and then enter the middle gate. Inside the urn city, the layout is almost the same as the previous one.
Further ahead at the south gate, although the city gate had been opened, it was blocked by Jin soldiers in formation.
In the end, Yu Rich stopped in Nanweng City because he could no longer move forward.
At this moment, the north gate of Wengcheng was closed, and the gates collided with each other and made a dull sound.
There were a large number of Jin troops arrayed in front and behind, and there were even Jin troops standing on the city wall holding crossbows. Yu Lixi and his party became turtles in a urn.
Behind Yu Richi, there were more than a hundred followers who had entered the city, with a look of panic on their faces at this moment.
Even a warrior who has fought hundreds of battles for the rest of his life will feel panic and fear when he encounters a certain death situation.
"Everyone be quiet..." Yu Richi shouted.
Although he was also afraid, Yurich, as the backbone of the entire team, did not show any fear.
After his roar, the people behind him gradually became quiet, and each of them put their hands on the handles of their knives, preparing for a desperate fight.
"Your Jin court has a saying that when the two armies go to war, they will not kill the envoys who come!"
"Now that we are not at war, do you want to kill us?"
Oreki shouted loudly to Meng Hai, conveying Yu Lixi's anger at this moment.
"You Jin people say that you are a country of etiquette. Is this how you treat guests?"
Hearing these words, Zhang and Meng were completely unaware, and obviously did not take them to heart.
"We do not allow foreigners to set foot on our land in Jin Dynasty with weapons!" Zhang Ziming shouted loudly.
After Oreki translated, Yurich became furious: "As warriors, swords are our hands and feet. Do you want to chop off our hands and feet?"
"You are the ones we are talking about, and you are the ones who are causing trouble. I think you have no sincerity..."
Gu Tiao
"In this case, you should go back to your grassland, where is the place where you are showing off your knives!" Zhang Ziming angrily yelled.
The governor-general's office judged that the Huns were on the verge of collapse, so they sent envoys to actively seek peace.
Therefore, Zhang Ziming's current "making things difficult" is actually not only to kill his prestige, but also to test these Huns.
If these people can endure it, it will indeed prove that the Huns can no longer hold on.
Putting down the sword was indeed a condition that was difficult for King Ding Ling to accept. It was even more uncomfortable for him than losing the battle.
At this time, a person behind Yu Lixi reminded: "Your Majesty, everything is for the sake of the overall situation!"
Although he was only a captain, he was sent by the Xiongnu royal court, so his words carried great weight.
The man babbled a lot more, and Yu Richi was finally convinced.
"Warriors, the sun will rise after it sets, and the sword we put down can be picked up again!"
After saying this, Yu Richi said with a heavy face: "Throw away the knives in your hands!"
At present, "strong enemies are everywhere", but the king allows himself to throw away his self-protection knife, which makes Ding Ling people very incomprehensible.
But in the end, as Yurich himself laid down his weapons, the other Huns in the Wengcheng also dropped their weapons one after another.
The look of grief and anger can be seen on everyone's face. This is indeed a great shame and humiliation for them.
"Our weapons are our brothers and sisters. I hope you can collect them easily and return them to us intact when the time comes!" Oreki shouted loudly, conveying Yurich's will.
Zhang Ziming said calmly: "We don't know this, and you don't need to remind us!"
Yu Richi shouted again and asked: "Now, can you give way?"
The purpose of probing and suppressing was achieved. At this moment, Zhang Ziming no longer wasted time and immediately ordered the sergeant blocking the road to get out of the way.
After the military formation withdrew, Yurich rode forward and led one of his men through the south city gate.
After leaving the Wengcheng and feeling the vastness of the world, their fearful mentality gradually changed, at least they no longer felt oppressed.
At this time, the soldiers in the Wengcheng gradually withdrew, and the middle gate and south gate were gradually closed.
These evacuated soldiers were in strict formation and their morale was high. Yurich only made a brief observation and felt that they were very different from the previous Jin army.
"Perhaps the defeat last time was not just caused by our clan underestimating the enemy!" Yu Lixi thought secretly in his heart.
"Let's go, I'll take you to quarantine first!" Zhang Ziming said calmly.
"Isolation?" Oreki was surprised. This was the first time he heard this word.
"That's right!"
“What is isolation?”
"I just want to find a place for you to stay for three days to see if any of you are infected with corpse poison!" Zhang Ziming explained.
"What is corpse poison?" Oreki asked again.
"Those biting monsters are like walking zombies, and the toxins they carry should naturally be called corpse poison!"
"You...you go too far!" Oreki couldn't help but roar.
These people are obviously normal people, but the Jin people suspect that they are infected with evil spirits. This is a very vicious curse.
Hearing Oreki's roar, although they didn't know what happened, the other tribe warriors clenched their fists and were ready to fight at any time.
And their behavior made the Jin soldiers wary, and the atmosphere at the scene solidified for a while.
After listening to Oreki's story, Yurich felt angry, but he didn't say much.
A few minutes later, Yu Lixi and others got off their horses and were "escorted" by Jin army soldiers to a vacant village not far away, where they would be isolated.
Standing at the back, Zhang Ziming looked puzzled as he watched Yu Lixi and his party go away.
"They let us do whatever we want, so... I'm afraid they really want something from us!"
Meng Hai nodded. Now he felt that there was hope for peace talks. After all, it was the Huns who gave in first.
