The whine of the horn horn was very penetrating. King Xiutu's army was still twenty miles away, and the advancing horn had floated from the sky. Gou Tianming and Huo Jin immediately got out of the tent, followed closely by their men.
Officer, since the last time we were attacked, everyone in the convoy has let out a sigh of relief. Unfortunately, we didn't even meet a thief along the way. This breath can't be released, and it feels suffocating.
Huo Jin had already turned around, holding his halberd in his hand and leading the people to rush out of the camp with a roar. Gou Tianming swallowed the dough in his mouth and called on the people who stayed behind to take a defensive position. This time, there must be no more people who were wiped out.
In the end, a thousand-man escort must be killed quickly even if they die.
A horse ran over from a distance, raising a long plume of smoke. When blown by the wind, it immediately dispersed and drifted to the east. Hawking immediately stood on the hillside, his halberd giving off a cold light in the sun. The knight on the fast horse ran as he ran.
While shouting: "Huns, five hundred cavalry, distance is twenty miles!"
"Huns! Five hundred cavalry, fifteen miles away!"
"Huns! Five hundred cavalry, ten miles away!"
"Huns! Five hundred cavalry, five miles away, camp!"
Five miles is exactly the distance for a cavalry charge. The Huns' use of cavalry has almost reached its peak. Five hundred cavalry can crush everything in front of them, including Su Ren's small camp and the former guards who have just climbed on horseback.
Huo Jin wanted to rush down, but was pulled by Shi Bao. He looked back behind him. Huo Jin was a little helpless. He also knew that Su Ren stayed at Yumen for so long because he was waiting for someone. He also knew that the person waiting was the Huns, but he just couldn't swallow it.
Tone. Since the Battle of Mayi, others have not known what happened to the Huns. Hawking, who witnessed it with his own eyes, knows it well. After this battle, the Huns no longer have the ability to make enemies of the Han, and the Han will not go to them.
You've given me so much face, but you still dare to do anything to the big man?
Su Ren was standing at the entrance of the camp. Gou Tianming, Huang Shisan, and Man Niu were all covered in clothes, waiting for the Huns' envoy. This was a gesture. Since they wanted to build a city at Yumen, they had to give the Huns some face.
No matter how we look for them in the future, it is better not to offend them now. The Han Dynasty must have no plans to use large-scale force against the Huns in the short term, and if they do, they will not move the front to the west so quickly.
King Xiutu's envoy came very quickly, with five horses and five people. The leader turned out to be a Han householder. This person was unknown, at least Su Ren'er had never heard of this person's name. According to the person himself,
Bao's life, whose surname is Meng, must have something to do with Meng Tian, the general who guarded the border in the Qin Dynasty. At that time, when the heroes were competing for the throne, Meng Tian's army stayed at the border. Even though King Xiang's army had reached Xianyang, Meng Tian's descendants did not return to the army, and they still felt in their hearts
He blamed Zhao Gao and Hu Hai for killing Fusu and Meng Tian. It is said that the army dispersed in the end and it was not impossible that they ended up living with the Huns.
Meng Danghu looked arrogant and looked at Su Ren with his lips curled up: "My king has an order for you who are true to your word to go to the big tent and kowtow!"
Gou Tianming snorted coldly: "King Xiutu is nothing, but do you know who my husband is?"
"You don't need to know, just go."
"Hmph! You dog-eyed thing, if you don't get off your horse and bow to the King of Heaven, do you want me to knock you off your horse?" Gou Tianming gave the order, and more than a dozen guards rushed forward, sweeping the halberds in their hands, and they were done in two or three strokes.
He dismounted the five Huns cavalry and said: "Open your dog eyes and see clearly, my husband is your Shanyu's professed king of heaven. Not to mention you, even King Xiutu will come to see you!"
Meng Danghu still tried to show off his strength, and was immediately hit with two sticks on his back and the crooks of his legs, and he fell to the ground. Su Ren threw the Heavenly King Seal in front of Meng Danghu: "Hey! A good man from the Han family doesn't do this.
, but you want to be a Huns, take this to see King Xiutu, and tell him to be on the hill in front at three quarters noon, and I will prepare wine to entertain you."
Mengdanghu didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore. He grabbed the seal on the ground, quickly got on his horse and ran away. Su Ren smiled: "It's only been a hundred years, but the descendants of the heroes who fought against the Huns are so miserable. It's a shame!"
Han Qing smiled: "It's current events! It's not surprising. A hundred years have passed and two generations have passed. It's understandable that these people don't remember the past."
"Then why do you still remember it so clearly? Your Majesty wants to restore your title of Marquis of Huaiyin to you, but you have no intention of refusing. If His Majesty makes you King of Chu, I guess you can accept it calmly."
Han Qing shook his head and smiled: "It's different!"
King Xiutu also gave Su Ren enough face. Faced with Su Ren's rudeness, he actually brought two guards to the hill. The mountain on the Gobi Desert was actually a big stone. The wind and sand erosion on the scene made the surface rough.
It is very loose. The small stones ground out by the gravel fall to the ground and are piled up around the big stones, which becomes a mountain. Such a mountain has a distinctive feature. The windward side is often smooth and hard, while the leeward side is soft. Su Ren's
The camp was set up on the leeward side of the small earthbag, so the climb up was very smooth. However, the way King Xiutu came was on the windward side, so it took some effort to climb up.
There was only one table and two small tables set up on the top of the mountain. The table was not big and there were no dishes, only wine. In a place like this, even if the dishes were set, it would be impossible to take a bite. It would not take a moment or three for the wind and sand to fill the entire plate.
At first glance, King Xiutu looks like a typical Huns, with a tall build and a rude appearance. His flat face has a pair of small eyes shining brightly, and the two bird feathers on his head are particularly eye-catching. Unlike Yu Shan and Yi Zhixie,
King Xiutu's clothes are very simple, and his furry chest is exposed under his fur. Especially the scar in the middle of his chest is very eye-catching. You can tell at a glance that this posture is not a good one.
"King of heaven, haha, I didn't expect that you are still the king of the Huns?" King Xiutu put the seal on the table in front of Su Ren, and sat down opposite Su Ren unceremoniously.
Su Ren put the seal in place, picked up the wine pot and took King Xiutu's wine glass. He blew a few breaths to blow away the wind and sand in the wine glass, and then poured wine into the wine glass: "It's a pity that I, the king of heaven, don't have anything.
There are no herdsmen or pastures, so we can only show off our power in front of your Han boss. Doesn’t King Xiutu take it seriously?”
"That's true!" King Xiutu picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Su Ren glanced at King Xiutu: "Aren't you afraid of me poisoning you? You know, we are enemies now."
King Xiutu smiled and said: "Don't be afraid. You have something to ask of me, so you won't poison me. If you poison me, not only will your matter never be accomplished, but from now on, the Han people will never want to come here again. So your adventure this time
It’s meaningless! Speaking of which, I admire you businessmen who dare to take any risk as long as you have money to make, and are even more courageous than those of us who lick blood with a knife tip."
Su Ren poured another glass of wine for King Xiutu: "Then is King Xiutu interested in cooperating with bold people like us?"
King Xiutu shook his head repeatedly: "I am not Yu Dan. Although my fiefdom is here, thousands of miles away from Mayi, I still know something about the things there. Yi Zhixie invited me several times, but I didn't agree.
I won’t change my mind just because of your words.”
"I have no intention of tempting the king to go east to die. What I want to cooperate with the king is business, nothing more."
"Oh? Tell me!"
Su Ren waved his hand, and Han Qing placed the silk in his arms on the small table. The table was not big, and the silk cloth was not big either. It was only a palm-sized piece. The lines on it were very new, and King Xiutu probably drew them.
It will not take more than three days. Although there are only a few strokes, it depicts the forces of the Qiang, Huns, Han, and Westerners in Ganliang Road. In the middle of the silk cloth, a black spot caused King Xiutu to
Please note that the black dots are not big, nor are they caused by ink dots during the painting, because two Chinese characters, Yumen, are written below the black dots.
King Xiutu raised his head and glanced at Su Ren. Su Ren smiled and said, "I wonder if your Majesty is interested?"
"You want to control Yumen?"
Su Ren shook his head: "It's not control, I just want to build a city here. Your Majesty doesn't have to do anything. 20% of the profits every year will belong to Your Majesty. How about it?"
King Xiutu picked up the wine glass and turned it around in his hand. His small eyes flickered at Su Ren: "Twenty percent is not necessarily too little, right? Judging from this map, Yumen is an important road.
, whether it is the Western Regions, the Han people, or us Huns and Qiang people who want to get things from other places, this is the best place, not to mention this place is the territory of our Huns. As a Han, you occupy this place, and I, Hugh,
King Tu needs to bear a great responsibility."
After finishing the glass of wine, King Xiutu continued: "I have heard of Mr. Su's name for a long time. I built a city in Lingnan to destroy the Yue people. I built a city in Huainan and made the king of Huainan lose his head. I built a city in Mayi.
The hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu troops were wiped out, and now that they want to build a city at Yumen, I have to think about it carefully, otherwise I won’t know how I died!"
Su Ren said with a smile: "Your Majesty, tell me what you have to say. There is no need to explain it in such eloquent terms. I still know what I have done."
"Okay! Since Mr. Su is also a happy person, I will make it clear!" King Xiutu stretched out a hand and turned it twice: "Such a profit, no matter how big the responsibility is, is not negotiable."
"Fifty percent?"
King Xiutu shook his head: "Five thousand taels of gold per year, I don't care what you do, as long as the number of guards stationed here does not exceed one thousand, if Mr. Su does not agree, just pretend that the king has not said anything, and we will decide what we should do tomorrow morning
What to do."
"Is five thousand taels of gold too much?"
King Xiutu sneered and stood up suddenly: "In that case, leave!"
Su Ren did not persuade him to stay. King Xiutu took two steps but stopped. He turned around and said to Su Ren: "I will wait until sunset today. In addition, you can attach a note about the Mohist and Fang who are hidden in my territory."
Immortal King Renben will also clean up and say goodbye!"
King Xiutu did not stay any longer, and went straight down the mountain. Su Ren was left standing on the hillside smiling and shaking his head. The Huns were suffering from the cold, and there were not many people who could not be blinded by the immediate interests. It happened to be this King Xiutu.
