Chapter 50: The Kindness of Soldiers, Where Is the Prestige of the Country?
South Chang'an City, Si Street on a rainy night.
This place has been besieged layer by layer by the Han army.
Li Xi, the leader of the army, had an angry look on his face. He stood beside a carriage and stared at the building where the Huns envoys were in front: "These Huns are so rampant."
Because it was related to the Xiongnu mission, the Yushi Dafu clan had also just arrived, with equally gloomy expressions.
At this time, a vehicle frame broke through the rain curtain, and the drivers, Zhao Ponu and Yao Zhao, jumped out of the vehicle first.
Xiong San opened an umbrella, and Huo Qubing, wearing a thin cloak, walked out of the carriage.
"Huo Shizhong, why are you here?" Li Xi and Wei Qing fought against the Huns together and were familiar with Huo Qubing.
"What's going on here?" Huo Qubing asked without answering.
"We found that a library official had been stabbed to death, and we asked the Huns for questioning. Perhaps they thought we were going to deal with them, so they started to resist and wounded several people in the library." Li Xi said.
Huo Qubing glanced at the closed door of the building.
According to his investigation just before Subna's death, although Subna was manic, he was not a fool and left no escape route.
Subna sneaked out. He used secret techniques to control the waiters in the tavern, and explored the location of Huo Qubing's mansion. He later withdrew the secret technique. The attendants in the tavern who were questioned were just ordinary people and did not know that they had been investigated.
Subna's idea was to come to Huo Qubing's house in the dark at night, attack and kill Huo Qubing, and then sneak back to the building. As long as no evidence was left during the whole process, even if he was suspected, he was still a Huns envoy, which gave him a chance of survival.
So...he didn't kill the people in the building?
Who is that?
Tonight, including Xubu Na, who knew that Huo Qubing had killed Xubuhui, and someone died in the embassy, the Huns envoys began to resist.
Taken together, it looks more like someone is secretly pushing things forward!
Huo Qubing had already noticed something abnormal.
At this time, Fan Xi's eyes fell on the back of his carriage, and when he saw Shubna and the two corpses that followed him, he was shocked: "This...is the Huns envoy? When did he leave the embassy, and why did he die?"
"
"He sneaked into my house late at night to commit murder, and I beat him to death!"
Huo Qubing said: "The Huns dared to resist with weapons, why didn't they break down the door?"
Li Xi said awkwardly: "The entourage of these Xiongnu envoys is quite elite. According to etiquette, when they are not entering the palace, in addition to long-range weapons such as bows and arrows, they are allowed to carry close-range weapons.
There were more than thirty people in total, guarding the front and back gates. The Censor did not want to suffer too many casualties, so he directly charged and killed the Huns envoys..."
Huo Qubing waved his hand: "Break the door first."
"Wait a moment, Mr. Huo."
Fan Xi said: "When the two countries are at war, the envoys who come are not killed. This is a national ritual inherited from the Spring and Autumn Period. How can we use weapons without authorization?"
"Teaching etiquette to the Huns?"
Huo Qubing said: "Soldiers are kind-hearted, but where is the country's prestige! Take action, and those who resist will be killed without mercy!"
Zhao Ponu, Xiong San, and Yao Zhao only listened to Huo Qubing's orders and turned a deaf ear to Fan Xi's words, and had already begun to take action.
The building where the Huns envoys lived was a square courtyard with two entrances and two exits.
At the front and back gates of the courtyard, including behind the courtyard wall, there are Huns retinues standing with weapons in hand, creating a solemn atmosphere.
Hu Yanye and Timan stood in the middle of the courtyard, their faces also gloomy.
They were also caught off guard. When they realized that Han people were killed in the building, Li Xi had already received the report and rushed over with his people.
Hu Yanye and Timan couldn't find Xubuna because they were not sure whether the people in the building were killed by him. Seeing Li Xi's aggressive attitude, they subconsciously chose to resist.
The situation evolved into an armed confrontation.
It's not that Li Xi and others can't attack, but they have a rule of not killing the envoys even if they fight, so they are still hesitant about whether to attack by force.
At this time, outside the closed door of the building, Yao Zhao put his hands together.
Xiong San raised his foot and stepped on Yao Zhao's hand. Yao Zhao took advantage of the situation and pushed him upwards. His huge body rushed up like a cannonball and immediately turned over into the courtyard wall.
When the Hun soldiers in the courtyard saw someone climbing over the wall, they raised their weapons and slashed at Xiong San who had fallen down. They happened to meet her and let out a breath.
It was like a storm had rolled up in the courtyard, and the weapons that were coming towards him seemed to have been hit by the torrent, their positions shifted, and they fell into pieces one after another.
Xiong San's breath, accompanied by a deep roar, caused the Huns soldiers to pause in their offensive involuntarily. They felt that their spirits were unstable, and their ears were buzzing like they were deafened.
On the other side, Yao Zhao and Zhao Ponu took the opportunity to shrug their shoulders and hit the door of the building.
Two wooden doors banged and cracked!
The two rushed in and joined forces with Xiong San. They cooperated with each other and started a close combat with the Huns.
Other Han troops surrounding the area also poured in, and in an instant the Huns were surrounded.
Huo Qubing held an umbrella with one hand and walked at the end.
Although the fans did not agree with the storming of the building, they could not help but admire it from the sidelines.
These few people under Huo Qubing are all strong men. They display the aesthetics of violence in a pleasing way and their coordination is smooth, especially there is a woman!
Fan Xi and Li Xi also followed the post.
When they came in, they saw Huo Qubing walking forward, not very fast, but wherever he passed, the Huns seemed to be trapped in a nightmare and looked frightened, but they did not dare to attack him.
But it was Huo Qubing who pushed the soul to soar into the snake, releasing magical powers similar to fear projection.
When he approached, the Huns soldiers suddenly lost all senses, and a big snake raising black mist appeared in their consciousness, and they couldn't help but panic.
Huo Qubing suddenly arrived in front of Hu Yanye.
In this Xiongnu delegation, the strongest individual was Xubuna who broke into the Huo Mansion.
In other words, Hu Yanye's skill is slightly weaker than that of Xubu Naxian.
After Huo Qubing came closer, his fingers suddenly thrust out like a spear.
Hu Yanye was about to dodge the block, but felt huge pain in his legs.
It turned out that Huo Qubing's offensive was in perfect harmony. Just like using a soldier, his fingers stabbed forward like a spear to attract the opponent's attention. At the same time, he thrust out a kick and kicked the tibia of Hu Yanye's calf as fast as lightning.
The force of this kick caused Hu Yanye to suffer unbearable pain, and he fell to the ground spinning.
Xiong San followed up, stretched out his big foot and stepped hard on Hu Yanye's chest.
Timan on the other side also fought with Zhao Ponu, Yao Zhao, and two Huns retainers.
By the time Fan Xi and Li Xi came in, the Han army had lifted the resistance of the Xiongnu mission, and the situation was settled.
Seeing that they were heavily surrounded, several Xiongnu soldiers took the initiative to lay down their weapons. They were restrained by the Han troops who followed and knelt in a row.
Huo Qubing looked at Hu Yanye: "What is your official position in the Xiongnu?"
Hu Yanye spat: "You Han people don't abide by the rules and humiliate me. The Huns are here to envoy. If you dare, kill me, otherwise I will avenge you today."
He was an envoy, and as usual, he didn't think Huo Qubing dared to kill him.
Huo Qubing pointed to Xubuna's body which was dragged in by a Han army: "Is he from your mission?"
Hu Yanye was shocked and angry: "You actually killed him?"
The purpose of Huo Qubing's visit was not only to hold the Huns accountable, but also because he felt that the situation tonight was strange.
The secret behind it needs to be clarified.
Unfortunately, Hu Yanye, the Hun commander-in-chief, and Timan, his deputy, were unaware of Subuna's infiltration into the Huo Mansion.
Huo Qubing used some means to interrogate the Huns mission, but did not get any valuable information.
The pattering rain also obscured some possible clues.
Huo Qubing thought for a moment, turned his head and saw Hu Yanye, Timan, and even a group of Huns soldiers kneeling on the ground, all with angry and angry expressions on their faces.
It would undoubtedly be a disaster if we let them go back.
Huo Qubing walked toward the door: "Let's go."
"What to do with these Huns?" Zhao Ponu asked.
"This still needs to be asked." Huo Qubing's meaning was obvious.
Zhao Ponu and Yao Zhao grinned at the same time.
Fan Xi was stunned for a moment and shouted: "Stop! The enemy has sent envoys, how can they be killed like this... I should inform His Majesty about this matter before making a decision."
Zhao Ponu and Yao Zhao were an iron-blooded army. They acted cleanly and killed the Huns envoys one after another.
When some Han soldiers heard Huo Qubing's order, they immediately took action and cut the Huns' throats with a single stroke of their swords.
The war between the Huns and the Han people has lasted for hundreds of years, and the blood hatred has been deeply rooted in their bones. If they can kill the Huns, even ordinary people will not hesitate to talk about etiquette!
"The Great Chanyu will definitely avenge us..."
Before Hu Yanye could even finish his voice, his throat was cut and he fell to the ground!
Huo Qubing stopped at the entrance of the building and turned around to ask Li Xi: "Which team of the Chang'an Guards are the guards tonight?"
