In response to Yu Shan's appointment, Su Ren and others stayed in Luoyang for a few days. The first was to wait for the good horses that Yu Shan had mentioned, and the second was to wait for the news from Hengshan Kingdom. In order to confirm the news sent by the bamboo slip
After discussing whether it was true or not, Su Ren and others decided to send someone to check it out. Regardless of whether it was true or false, it was better to be cautious.
During the few days in Luoyang, Yu Dan held a banquet every day to thank Su Ren. His injuries improved day by day, and the size of the banquet became larger and larger. Yu Dan had a good impression of Su Ren and his companions and could not drink.
Then use water instead of wine.
"Mr. Su, I realize more and more now that your Majesty is very lucky. Each of you is a hero among men and will be a pillar of the Han Dynasty in the future. But my subordinates..."
Su Ren smiled slightly and glanced at the Huns behind Yu Dan. They all seemed to be tall and powerful warriors. Except for the leader who could talk, the others were like cats in front of Yu Dan.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, the Huns have a population of no less than one million, and it is not difficult to find some heroes among them. The King of the Huns is still very strong, and the prince can slowly discover it. We Han people have a saying that women can have noodles, and women can have them."
Everything will be okay.”
"Hahaha..." Yu Dan laughed: "That's right, everything will be available. Come and drink this cup!"
Gongsun He's eyes kept glancing at the singing girls, and his mind was not on the banquet at all. After Li Danghu and Wei Qing learned about Su Ren's plan, they became silent. They were not used to this kind of doing one thing in front of others and another behind their backs.
Look.
Chun Yuyi concentrated on the plate of mutton in front of him. He had bad teeth but liked to eat meat, and it was mutton. After a while, he put his fingers into his mouth and fingered it for a long time: "The Huns also have many Han people. Your Highness, you can find them."
Let them talk about it, if it can be used, the educated Han people are better than the Huns who only know how to fight and kill."
Yu Shanle said: "Yes, sir, this is a very good idea. I will pay more attention to it when I go back!"
The wine was dry, and everyone was very excited about the banquet. Before leaving, Yu Dan gave a large number of gifts. Those who like women gave women, those who liked food gave food, and those who liked soldiers gave soldiers. Su Ren likes money.
, Yu Shan gave Su Ren a piece of rough jade he had with him, stating that it was given to his eldest grandson by the late king. Although it was not valuable, it was of great significance to the Huns.
After five days like this, the Hengshan Kingdom finally got news. The letter was sent by Liu Ci, the king of Hengshan. It was already clear that Huainan King Liu An, Guantao Princess Liu Piao and the senior official Han Yan all sent assassins.
Waiting in Huainan Kingdom, the target is Su Ren.
Gongsun He tilted his head and looked at Su Ren: "How did you offend these three people? They all want to kill you!"
Su Ren shook his head and smiled bitterly, and asked the person sent to find out the information: "How many people have they sent in total, and how are they going to act? Will they be together, or will each of them do their own thing?"
The spy said: "The number of people is unknown. According to the news from the King's Palace in Hengshan, there seem to be five hundred elites in Huainan Kingdom. The doctor and the eldest princess together only have fifty people. It is not known how they will act. After these people enter the territory of Huainan Kingdom,
Then they disappeared, and no one knew their whereabouts."
"It's quite mysterious!" Gongsun He smiled: "Let's leave now and meet them. I will take the lead."
Li Danghu frowned: "It seems that the opponent has strong soldiers and horses, so we should report the matter to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to make a decision?"
Gongsun He looked disdainfully: "I have to tell His Majesty all this. Are we all just doing it? I can't afford to disgrace this person."
Wei Qing said: "Brother Danghu is right. This matter is of great importance. They assassinated court officials and framed the King of Hengshan. These people are rebels and should be informed to Your Majesty."
"When did the two of you vent your anger out of the same nostril?" Gongsun He waved his hand: "If you are afraid, go back. Zi Heng and I will go together. Aren't we just five hundred people? They will be finished with one charge."
Su Ren shook his head: "That's not a mob. Those who can be sent out are definitely elites. What others don't know is that the palace of Princess Guantao has no less than a thousand followers, and all of them are desperadoes. Although some were taken away when the powerful moved.
, the rest are not to be trifled with, I got news that Guo Xie, the first guest of Princess Guantao's Mansion, has returned to Chang'an. This man is very skilled in martial arts and should not be underestimated."
"Are you afraid too? You shouldn't be? If you were worried about these things, what would you have done? Just don't provoke Princess Guantao."
"It's not fear, it's caution. The more critical a moment like this, the more cautious you must be. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be victorious in every battle!"
"Are you going or not?"
"Go! You must go! Now that we have come this far, there is no reason to turn back. But what Brother Danghu and Wei Qing said are right. Your Majesty should be told about this matter. This is a big deal. Liu An, Han Yan, Liu Whoring Three
People have colluded, which is extremely detrimental to His Majesty, so we should prepare as soon as possible."
Li Danghu nodded: "What Ziheng said is true, I will send someone back to Chang'an right away."
Su Ren quickly stopped: "Send more people. I'm worried that not only will they set up an ambush in front, but the way back may also be blocked."
Li Danghu nodded and left. Ying Guangji sat aside and did not interrupt. If he were put in Su Ren's position, there were only so many best ways to deal with it. Ying Guangji felt more and more
How knowing it was that I didn't go against Su Ren in the first place, otherwise it would have been a real fight between dragon and tiger.
The atmosphere in the team suddenly became tense. The soldiers and guards more or less figured out something from the unusual behavior of their master during this period. To be qualified to follow him is to protect the safety of the little master with his own life. Everyone
As a veteran, even if he goes to the battlefield now, he can immediately adjust his condition.
Huo Jin is polishing his sword. Su Ren gave it to him when he went to Yelang. It is not a good sword, but it has drank human blood. It has not been unsheathed for a long time, and there are some small marks on the sword.
Rust. Bronze swords are bad at this, they oxidize easily, but iron swords are better. Yesterday, Huo Jin discovered that the scimitar on Yu Dan's waist was pretty good. He knew it was a good knife at a glance.
Shi Bao came over and squatted in front of Hawking to watch Hawking sharpen his sword. Hawking asked: "Is something wrong?"
Shi Bao shook his head, with an excited look on his face: "I haven't done anything for a long time. Ever since I followed my husband, I have been staying at home. I didn't even go to Shu County to suppress the bandits. This time I can finally do it happily."
"Yes! Those little thieves can't succeed. When the time comes, you will lead a team and I will lead a team. We will besiege them from both sides. They will definitely die."
"Then who will protect sir?"
"Isn't there still Lao Huang?"
Shi Bao nodded repeatedly: "Just listen to big brother. If sir lets me stay, big brother will have to say something nice for me."
"Don't worry, we are brothers, I will take care of this matter."
People neighed and horses neighed, and suddenly there was a commotion in the yard. Several guards and soldiers ran to the front yard. Huo Jin and Shi Bao didn't know what happened, so they quickly called a guard over: "What's wrong? What's going on in the front yard?"
?”
The guard looked excited: "Horses! The horses sent by the Huns are here. They are all good horses. There are fifty of them! They are in the front yard!"
When Shi Bao heard this, he turned around and ran away. Hawking looked at it for a long time, sat down again, and continued to sharpen his sword: "What's so good about a horse?"
Su Ren and his men stood on the steps. There was a large group of horses in the yard. The leader of the Huns crossed his arms and saluted Su Ren respectfully: "Dear Mr. Su, my master specially selected fifty good horses from the grassland.
I gave the horse to you, sir. I would like to thank you for saving your life. These are all the best horses on the grassland. Please check them out, sir."
Su Ren nodded, and the Huns began to introduce: "The name of this red horse is Chi Yan. It is extremely fast and can run five hundred miles in a day and night; the name of this black horse is Ta Xue. It is all black and has only four hooves."
White, has the best endurance, and no horse can keep up with it when traveling long distances; this white horse is called Feidian, and it is the best of these horses. Please accept it, Mr. Su."
"Okay, okay!" After saying three good words in a row, Su Ren couldn't close his mouth.
The Huns said: "His Royal Highness said that this white horse was specially given to Mr. Su. He knew that Mr. Su liked white horses, so he specially asked the best shepherds from his own pasture to select this white horse as a gift to Mr. Su."
Su Ren reached out and touched the head of the white horse. The white horse slowly lowered its head and rubbed its head in Su Ren's palm: "It is really a good horse? Thank you to His Highness the Crown Prince for his small efforts to receive such a generous gift from His Highness the Crown Prince."
, I don’t even know what to say.”
The Huns followed Su Ren and said with a smile: "Mr. Su saved our Highness. He saved those of us who follow His Highness and also saved us Huns. The meager gift made Sir laugh."
"Haha, I have accepted these horses. I will go back and tell His Highness the Crown Prince. Don't hesitate any longer about what I said to him. Otherwise, things will change!"
"The villain will definitely tell you."
After seeing off the Huns, the courtyard was already surrounded by soldiers and guards. Gongsun He and others also came over. These people all came from the general's family, and even Wei Qing was also a stable boy. What kind of horse is a good horse?
It was clear. Yu Dan made a very generous move, with fifty war horses, each of which was a good horse. These people almost drooled when they saw it.
Su Ren looked around and said with a smile: "Don't even look at it. I will keep twenty of the fifty horses. The remaining thirty will be given to my brothers, Mr. Gongsun and Wei Qing, and you will each have ten."
"
"Okay! I love hearing this!" Gongsun He was the first to rush over, calling for his people to come over and lead the horses.
Li Danghu and Wei Qing were polite to each other, but Su Ren said: "If you say such kind words again, then none of them will be lost. Hurry up and do it. If it's too late, that kid will pick all the good ones away."
The horses were divided up in a lively manner, and everyone was happy. Ying Guangji came over and said to Su Ren, "Why don't you have mine?"
Su Ren rolled his eyes at him and pointed to his original white horse: "That one is yours. It is a fine Qiang horse. It has much more endurance than these. Without it in the past few years, I would have been exhausted."
.”
Ying Guangji looked at the white horse and said with a smile: "You are so generous." (To be continued)
