Chapter 345: Returning to the Han Dynasty (1)

After leaving the palace and returning to the inn, Zhuge Jing's face had long been thrown away, but instead he said with a serious face: "Liu Yuanhai's heroic posture should not be underestimated. It is difficult to travel tonight. I will immediately urge the Hu envoy to lead the way to persuade Jin troops from all over the country early tomorrow morning."

"What Xingzong said is very much. Today, I saw Liu Yuan's eyes flashing in his eyes. He either had a murderous aura against Xingzong or wanted to attack Jin troops in various places. This matter must not be delayed." A middle-aged civil servant was heroic and generous behind Zhuge Jing, and said with a similar feeling at this time.

Zhuge Jing nodded and agreed: "Today's meeting is very dangerous, but it will be difficult tonight. This trip will be Mr. Qu Jushiyan."

The middle-aged man with extraordinary temperament was Zhang Gui, a minister of the Han Dynasty. His name was Shiyan. His position and his reputation were above Zhuge Jing. The Han Dynasty general Jiang Wei used Zhuge Jing as an envoy, and Zhang Gui and others were just followers. This arrangement seemed to be according to Zhuge Jing's reputation as Zhuge Wuhou's bloodline, but in fact, the Hu people took it lightly.

If he knew that Zhuge Jing was supported by Zhang Gui, a heavy figure in the Han Dynasty, I think the Hu people would have to be very alert and would not relax their vigilance.

Zhang Gui twisted his beard and said, "It is the duty of his ministers to do his best for the country. Xingzong's performance today is enough to confuse the Hu people. Why should he be humble?"

Zhuge Jing sighed: "The plain is still close to Huguan, there should be no major problems. The rest of the places are far away, even if you arrive..."

Zhang Gui comforted: "The Hu people have strong troops, so I will do my best."

One night was not long, but it felt a lot for the Jin army, who were in various places to fight to the death! Liu Yuan, the Great Khan of the Huns, reached a consensus with Zhuge Jing and expressed his willingness to send personnel to follow Zhuge Jing to various places.

However, Zhuge Jing and other Han envoys had to follow etiquette to set out the next day, but the Hu people's military orders had already been spread out of Yecheng and went to various places! The Huns' Great Chanyu Liu Yuan said that the attacks from all over the country were cancelled, but in fact, it was naturally unclear what kind of information they were accompanied by.

But if I were thinking from the perspective of others, would I have watched tens of thousands of Jin troops who had formed mortal enemies leave Hebei with the Han envoy? Even the Han people would not give up tens of thousands of mortal enemies to their future enemy countries. Liu Yuan, who was scheming and conspiring, would naturally not let the Han envoy do so easily.

The agreement reached in the court is nothing more than a superficial phenomenon. On the basis of not violating the agreement, how many Jin troops can be rescued from this critical situation is the means of the Han envoy. Don’t forget that this is in Hebei where Hu cavalry is everywhere, and maybe it will be difficult to move forward...

...

The fierce attack on Huguan almost made the Jin army in Huguan unable to hold on. For some reason, the foreign soldiers outside the city seemed to be crazy and rushed to Huguan at any cost. If it weren't for Zu Ti, Zu Yue, Wang Huang and Li Yun, the four of them took turns to command the Jin army to resist bravely, I'm afraid that Huguan would have been broken by foreigners.

Even so, the Huguan defenders lost a lot of vitality that night, and the city walls of Huguan seemed even more decaying.

"Shizhi, please rest first, leave this place to me." Wang Huang recovered some of his physical strength after two hours of rest. At this time, he took a few personal soldiers to the top of the city. Seeing that many of the exhausted soldiers fell to the ground and fell asleep, he couldn't help feeling sad.

Zu Shi's armor was broken, and there was a cloth strip on his hand and he was faintly bleeding, which seemed to be a hasty treatment after being injured. Hearing this, he just shook his head slightly, his eyes staring at the movements of the alien soldiers in the distance, and he was very focused.

"I'm not tired, I just can't figure out why the Hu people are in a hurry." Zu Ti took a breath slowly and said just now, his words and expressions were all in thought, quite puzzled.

Wang Huang naturally knew what Zu Ti meant. The Huguan was attacked by foreign soldiers and horses on both sides and was already shaking. It was just that the Jin people in the pass gritted their teeth and insisted on not surrendering to this day. But how could the flesh and blood resist long-term high-intensity fighting be withstood? The Hu people followed the existing rhythm and captured Huguan in three or five days in another three to five days.

At present, Zu Ti, Wang Huang is responsible for defending the city wall on the east side, Zu Yue and Li Yun are responsible for defending the pass on the west side. All the Jin people in the pass are injured, which not only affects combat effectiveness and morale, but also causes the injury to worsen due to insufficient treatment.

Zu Ti and four other four were the main generals, and they were injured more and more severely. They were still wearing each other, but their long-term battle had long been in harmony with the soldiers. How did they apply the previous wave of battles and who was injured? They all became the topic of talks between the troops during resting time. Who could they hide from them?

"Can Liu Yuanhai not wait to find the country?" Wang Huang came to Zu Ti and said with a wry smile.

The news that the Jin Emperor Sima You defected to the Central Plains had long been passed on by foreigners when they persuaded surrender. To this day, the entire Jin State is already incomplete, so Zu Ti and others naturally knew very well. Emperor Sima You of Jin retreated to Henoi, but the Jin army in Henoi was wiped out under the leadership of King Sima Yizheng of Henoi. Where can the emperor of Jin run to?

Zu Ti thought for a while and said, "Liu Yuanhai's layout is profound, not a person who changes orders every day and is unscrupulous. Could it be that there is movement in the Central Plains?"

From the beginning, Jin State fell into Liu Yuan's calculations because of Wang Rong and misjudged the situation. The civil and military officials who were as conceited as Wang Rong and as wise as Jin State were unable to see Liu Yuan's strategy. Although Zu Ti and others were incompatible with Liu Yuan's strength, they had to admire the other party's ability.

"Central Plains? If the Han army moved, they would probably have moved long ago. How could they wait until now... Hum? Could it be!?" Wang Huang explained with a wry smile, and suddenly remembered the news that Emperor Jin Sima You defected to the Central Plains, and couldn't help but think of a possibility.

Zu Ti said: "If it were because of Your Majesty, the Han army would have taken action, and it would have been beyond Liu Yuanhai's expectations, but unfortunately..."

"You can't hold the knife with your arm, so you'd better go back and rest. If the Hu people attacked, everyone would die together." Wang Huang reached out and patted Zu Ti on the shoulder. Seeing the ever-expanding blood stains and his lips that were bleeding, he couldn't help but shake his head and said.

Zu Ti raised his arm with difficulty and said with a slight smile: "It's a pity that there are only 500 soldiers who can fight on this side, and I'm afraid I won't be able to survive today."

Looking around the city, there were seven or eight hundred soldiers who could keep standing. Some of them leaned on the battlements, and some of them supported their bodies with swords and guns, trying to keep their upper bodies straight. There were constant scouts from Hu people watching under the city, and the Han army still standing on the city was regarded as a combat-reading force.

Without medical conditions, the chance of wound healing is greatly reduced. What the Jin army is doing is just waiting for death, but the left and right are about to die, but they are unwilling to show weakness in front of the Hu people.

Seeing Zu Ti leaving the city with several followers with heavy steps, Wang Huang felt sad in his heart. Is the enemy so vulnerable? Is it because of the enemy too strong or too weak? Everything is meaningless. Even the warriors who refused to surrender and would rather die in battle know in their hearts that Jin is over!

"Well... I'll send our military orders to let everyone rest. The Hu people will attack after breakfast." Wang Huang saw smoke curling in the foreign camp, but there were still many soldiers and generals constantly pushing siege equipment and other objects to the battlefield ahead, and he knew that the Hu people's retreat was just to bury the pot and make rice to replenish their physical strength, and once they were meals, they would definitely come again!

The Hu people were determined to win Huguan, and Huguan would never resist the next impact... Wang Huang knew very well, because before coming to take over Zuti, he had already inquired about the situation of the western pass, which was as good as here...

Time passed by, and the Jin army was scattered on the city wall to eat. Although the Huguan was not strong enough, the money and food were enough. The military power consumed every day invisibly made the money and food more sufficient. It was just that manpower was the main force to defend the pass. Everyone died, so what's the use of having money and food?

The sound of trumpets outside the frontier sounded again, which was very familiar to the Huguan defenders. The sound of trumpets lasted for a quarter of an hour. This was a gathering of troops from the foreign races outside the frontier. Once the sound of trumpets was interrupted, it would be an overwhelming attack.

With his sword drawn in his hand, Wang Huang shouted loudly to inspire morale. The wounded soldiers who were lying on the ground were shaking and stood up and shouting hysterically. Everyone knew the result of this battle. After enduring it for a long time, it finally reached the last moment!!

The alien army gathered at the Pass and was eager to try it out. The corpses everywhere under the Hu Pass were enough to show how much the alien coalition had paid. These prices were about to bring rewards. How could the alien soldiers not be extremely excited?

The long horn sound came to an abrupt end, and the alien coalition surprisingly did not launch an offensive. Instead, more than a hundred arrows rushed towards the periphery.

Seeing that the other party was about to start an attack before the formation was ready, Wang Huang couldn't help but feel nervous. It was obvious that there was also a riot in the alien formation, and he was immediately curious.

"Is it a reinforcement?" Zu Ti came to his side with his personal soldiers, locked his eyes at the more than a hundred riders at the far end and observed carefully. However, the distance was too far and there was no sign, so it was difficult to identify the other party's identity for a while.

After a warm heart, Wang Huang knew that Zu Ti had not rested at all after leaving the city, but was just preparing to return at this time to fight with him side by side with life and death.

"I don't know what Hu people are playing, so everyone stay alert!" Wang Huang shouted loudly.

"The Hu people retreated!" Zu Ti couldn't help but say coldly when he saw the opponent's formation move back nearly a hundred steps, but his heart was tight!

The Huguan defenders pretended to behave, but they could not hide it from the Hu people. The general judgments between the two sides were not much different when they could defend Huguan for a long time. Why did the Hu people retreat instead of coming to attack the city? Not only Zu Ti, but Wang Huang and others were also very surprised.

More than a hundred cavalry rushed over, and the knight who was the first to open the road rolled up the flag on the long spear. It was the big word "Han"!

"It's the Han army!?!" Zu Ti said in surprise when he saw this.

"I am Zhang Gui, the general of the Han army, and I came to proclaim the edict of Jin State. I have no choice but to let the ancestors let me enter the pass!" A Han man dressed in a literati raised the edict in his hand and shouted.

When the Jin army heard this, the look of suspicion appeared on their faces. The Han Dynasty came with the imperial edict of the emperor of Jin, and it was the matter of the Hu people's permission. What is this?

"Put the rope down to the top of the city!" Zu Ti hesitated for a moment and said firmly.

"Shizhi, I'm afraid there will be fraud!" Wang Huang said sternly when he heard this.

Zu Ti smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay if you enter alone, even if you are an assassin, please help me, Brother Wang, go to Xiguan to support you!"

The shouts of killing behind him had already remembered that the Hu army on one side of the pass was stopped by the Han Dynasty, but the foreign soldiers on the other side of the pass were unaware of it and had already launched a fierce attack at this moment! He woke up with a loud voice, and Wang Huang yelled and hurried to the western pass with more than 300 soldiers.

The big basket slowly fell to the top of the city. When Zhang Gui saw it, he did not hesitate to fly off the horse and sit in the rope basket. Seeing that it was still stable, he reached out to stop the followers who came forward, and at the same time bowed to the Hun envoy who followed him, "I'm sorry, please use the token."

The Hun envoy looked at Zhang Gui with a gloomy face, and unwilling to take out the token of the Great Hun Chanyu Liu Yuan in his arms and handed it to Zhang Gui. The Hun envoys had designed many difficulties along the way, trying to lead the Han Dynasty envoys astray and use this to delay time.

But I don’t expect that most of the more than 100 people under Zhang Gui were officials of the Wei State and extraordinary people from Hebei. It was no problem how to walk from Yecheng to Huguan, and even took many shortcuts. Zhuge Jing and the leader of the Huns Liu Yuan had already agreed. There was no problem with any means in secret, but they could not hurt people and could not express them in person.

The failure to complete the tasks ordered by the above was even shorter, which made the Han Dynasty envoys arrived before the launch of the foreign army outside Huguan. How could this envoy not be depressed?

After getting the token, Zhang Zhi signaled that the Jin army on the top of the city to start pulling the rope. The city gate of Huguan had been blocked for a long time, and everyone was leaning against the rope when entering and leaving the city.

Before the big basket reached the battlement, Zhang Gui lifted his robe and jumped to the top of the city. The Jin soldiers around him were shocked to see this and raised their swords and spears to stab!

"Stop!" Zu Ti shouted in a deep voice when he saw this.

"No need to delay, go to Xiguan to stop the battle!" When approaching Huguan, Zhang Gui heard the shouts of killing shocking the world. He thought it was a fierce battle on the other side of Huguan. If Huguan had not been broken, he could still stop the war with the unique token of Liu Yuan of the Great Khan of the Huns. If Huguan was broken, I am afraid that he would not have the chance to defend himself and would have been cut into mud...

"Follow me!" Seeing that Zhang Gui was so anxious, Zu Ti had already felt a little confident in his identity. He waved his hand to signal the deputy general to guard the city and took Zhang Gui to Huguanxi City.

The foreign soldiers and horses on the west side of Huguan continued to attack, and the generals of Jin gritted their teeth to resist. Seeing this, Zhang Gui looked solemn, and after he waved his hand, he was the Hun envoy...

It turned out that Zhang Gui and his entourage had planned everything long ago. After he entered the city, he signaled Zu Ti to continue to put down the rope. It was not easy for more than a hundred Han cavalry under the city to force a Xiongnu envoy to climb the city? Zu Ti was also a smart person. He and Zhang Gui went to the west city first to see what happened. Later, there were soldiers and generals who forced the Xiongnu envoys to come over.

With the knife drawn in his hand, Zhang Gui put the knife on the neck of the Hun envoy and said viciously: "The order to retreat can save his life!"

The messenger was so angry that he was trembling like a sieve, but he did not dare to resist, but he said that he was the only one. The attack of foreign soldiers was fierce, so what was the use of escorting the messenger to the top of the city? But seeing the flags of the Jin army swaying on the top of the city, it was the verb of the Xiongnu army!

The alien army under the city did not care at first, but it was obvious that the flag utterances were continuous and he was immediately confused and ordered the army to slow down the offensive.

After teaching the flag language of the clan, the Huns envoy kept yelling in the words of the Huns! The flag language was a private request made by Zhuge Jing to Liu Yuan, the Great Chan of the Huns. He was thinking that if there was a conflict, he could use this to ease the situation. This request was not excessive, and the Huns naturally could not refuse, but invisibly, it gave the Han envoy some guarantees for the rescue operations.

The Chinese people couldn't understand the discourse of aliens, but everyone was very excited at this moment. The purpose of the Han envoy was not yet clear, but the one who could survive was not only the Jin soldiers with swords and guns in hand, but also a large number of wounded soldiers in the city!

About a quarter of an hour later, the aliens reluctantly retreated, and the Hun envoys recovered a little bloody and looked at Zhang Gui and others, and were taken aside by several soldiers to rest.

After Zhang Gui sorted out his clothes, he looked at Zu Ti and others and said slowly: "The generals are loyal and brave, and they would rather die than surrender. The world praised it. This time, it was not Zhang Gui's intention, but our dynasty was entrusted by the Lord of Jin. This is inconvenient to read the edict. After reading it, I asked the people to hand it over intact. There are still many soldiers waiting for Zhang Gui to rescue him in life and death."

Zu Ti and others exchanged eyes, and when they took the imperial edict of Jin, they couldn't help but frown. The texture of the edict was not used by the royal family of Jin, and the handwriting was not something that the four people could tell the authenticity.

"This..." Zu Ti frowned and wanted to speak.

Zhang Gui raised his hand to stop him and said, "This time I came with Zhuge Xingzong and went in two ways. The original version is in the hands of Zhuge Xingzong. What you see is the book I copied overnight. Jin State has been destroyed and cannot be promoted again. If you are determined to die in this, Zhang Gui will never stop him. However, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. If he is willing to follow the Jin lord into the Han Dynasty, Zhang Gui will try to send you away from Hebei and enter the Central Plains. One day he will be humiliated!"

Time is precious, and Zhang Gui also knew that these Jin soldiers were still unyielding under all difficulties, and they were by no means able to convince him with sweet words. The easiest and direct way was to let these Jin soldiers decide their own life and death and their way back.

Zu Ti, Zu Yue, Wang Huang, and Li Yun all pondered silently when they heard this. The other party's simple words were even more realistic. One answer determines their own future and destiny, and no matter who they are, they must consider it carefully. What's more, this is also the life and death of the two or three thousand soldiers who can still breathe in Huguan.

"What's wrong with Your Majesty?" After silence, Zu Ti looked at each other and asked.

Zhang Gui said truthfully: "The general has sent the Lord of Jin to Sichuan, and the emperor sent him to the emperor." Since Emperor Jin Sima You surrendered to the Han Dynasty, he was naturally at the mercy of others. Although Jiang Wei had the power to surrender, only the Emperor of Han could enfeoff. Therefore, it was a normal procedure to escort Sima You to Sichuan, and it was not an intention or intention.
