"Hahaha..." There was a burst of laughter from the city, and many Huns were saying dirty words.
Man Niu helped Su Ren up, and Su Ren no longer dared to look outside. Huang Shisan knocked the ax in his hand heavily on the city wall, and stood majestically on the city wall: "You guys will wait outside the wall.
The barbarians actually hurt people with cold arrows. They are not heroes, let alone soldiers. If you have the guts, come and attack the city. If grandpa doesn't kill you, you will bleed like rivers!"
Huang Shisan was tall and burly, and wore exquisite armor. His blood-red cloak was flying in the wind, and his helmet tassels were bright red. He looked quite domineering while standing on the city wall. He shouted, and the laughter of everyone in the city was silenced.
The Huns all looked up at that superior guy. Tu Xi even nodded: "This is the hero of the Han people!"
The Huns are nomadic people, and the place where they live is full of dangers. Maybe an inconspicuous waterhole or a thin animal, even if it falls while riding a horse, may kill a person. Therefore, the Huns and the Han people are very similar to each other.
They are more barbaric than others, and it is precisely because of this barbarism that they have an inexplicable respect for heroes. The history of the Xiongnu is basically a heroic interpretation. Don't expect the descendants of a wolf and a beautiful woman to know what etiquette, justice and shame are.
Huang Shisan's performance was appreciated by the Huns, so no cold arrows were fired at him. Tu Xi wanted to rush over and compete with the guy standing on the top of the city, but King Xiutu did not give the order. He glanced at the man who looked like a dog.
Huang Shisan, King Xiutu said: "Let Su Ren come out, I promise not to shoot him to death!"
The arrow was fired by King Xiutu, and his archery skills were very good. It really scared Su Ren half to death. Even if King Xiutu made the stars in the sky square, Su Ren would not show his head again. He waited for a long time.
, except for shouting and yelling on the city top, there was no news from Su Ren. King Xiutu really wanted to order an attack on the city in a rage.
A large group of people surrounded Su Ren. Some touched his chest to cheer up Su Ren, and some put the water bag to Su Ren's mouth and asked him to drink water to relieve his shock. After everyone worked for a long time, Su Ren let out a long breath.
: "I'm so scared to death! Go and ask Zaji to find a sharpshooter and shoot King Xiutu off his horse!"
Arrows filled the sky, but it was a pity that the bows and arrows of the Qiang people were not as powerful as those of the Huns. No matter how skilled the marksman was, they could not shoot the arrows near King Xiutu. King Xiutu snorted coldly, and shouted again: "
I'll give you half an hour, if Su Ren can't come out, I will order an attack on the city!"
Su Ren was really afraid that King Xiutu would kill him. If the arrow hadn't been three inches higher, or Huang Shisan hadn't pulled him, Su Ren would have had a feathered arrow stuck in his forehead right now.
, lying on the ground coldly was the right thing to do. But the matter had to be dealt with, and at least King Xiutu had to be given a step to step down. He led an army to raise an army to investigate, and what he had done was obviously unkind, and there was no way he could say anything inappropriate.
Only half of an hour passed when Huang Shisan's broken gong voice spoke again: "Listen, people in the city, our general has said that if you want to speak, you can let your king come into the city!"
"Fart! You treacherous Han people still dare to say such things. Do you think we are all fools?"
Huang Shisan chuckled: "I don't know if I'm stupid or not. My general also said that if you don't come, forget it. If you want to attack the city, you can attack the city!" After saying this, Huang Shisan turned around and jumped off the parapet.
Don't even look at the Huns again.
King Xiutu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He was just too angry to shoot Su Ren. He really didn't want to kill Su Ren. If Su Ren died here, let alone whether the Han Emperor would send troops.
, just these people in Yumen City will make his tribe uneasy. In addition, there are several groups of horse bandits outside the city. As far as he knows, these people are all Su Ren's people.
Su Ren did not come out and acted very cowardly, and the Huns laughed happily. But King Xiutu knew that Su Ren was confident, and this was a clear message to him that King Xiutu was not afraid of war. Su Ren's approach was very accurate, as stuck as a fishbone.
It's at the throat of King Xiutu. If you don't go, the only choice is to start a war. Once a war starts, there will be countless casualties, and maybe your entire tribe will suffer. Go, what if Su Ren does something to you in revenge for an arrow?
What should we do?
King Youguli glanced at King Xiutu and said, "Your Majesty, the Han people are cunning, so you must not go there!"
King Xiutu said: "Then do you have a good idea? Is it possible to really attack the city?"
King Zuo Guli immediately lowered his head. Xu Tuwang sighed: "Su Ren has already determined that we have no intention of fighting, so he is confident. This time he sent his troops mainly to intimidate. Now that they are not intimidated by our army, we are now
It’s difficult to handle, so be it! I want to see what Su Ren dares to do to me. I’m going to attack you. The army is under your command. Follow me into the city!”
Naturally, the city gate could not be opened. More than a dozen hanging baskets were thrown down from the city. King Xiutu and his party had no choice but to ride in the hanging baskets and be pulled up. Some people originally thought this was a humiliation to King Xiutu, but King Xiutu
Stopped it. King Xiutu went to the city, and someone immediately came over to collect their weapons, even if they didn't give them to them. The explanation was very interesting, and they used Su Ren's cold arrow as an excuse to show Su Ren's courage in front of the Huns.
Small.
In the city tower, Su Ren was sitting there drinking tea. Huang Shisan and Man Niu were standing behind Su Ren like two door gods. Outside the house were fifty caravan guards led by Huo Jin, all with bright helmets and heads held high.
The chest, the cold light coming from the weapon, most people don't even dare to enter.
King Xiutu smiled slightly, waved his men to wait outside, and entered the tower alone. The hot tea was ready, and the pastries were freshly baked and still steaming. Su Ren put down the tea cup, stood up and bowed.
: "Your Majesty, you are so brave. Come and have a taste. It's just come out of the pot. Your Majesty must be tired and hungry after a long journey. It's time to eat something first. Eat and drink enough before talking about anything else."
King Xiutu was not polite, he grabbed it and ate it. Maybe he was really hungry, so he ate no crumbs from the plate of cakes. He raised his head and drank a large bowl of hot tea. He wiped his mouth with his hand and said, "You Han people are the best."
, but the food of the Han people is better than ours, even the taste of beef and mutton is different. If you can use the wisdom you use in this to govern the country, maybe we will pay tribute to you Han people in the past hundred years, hahaha.
"
Su Ren also laughed: "Your Majesty is absolutely right, the wisdom of the Han people is the best in the world, but there are many reasons for this. We Han people and you Huns, who are better and worse cannot be said in a few words, but I
I can guarantee that it won’t be long before you Huns are no longer just a matter of paying tribute, what do you think?”
King Xiutu rolled his eyes: "A battle won by cleverly remembering foot patterns, do you think you Han people have the power to defeat us Huns?"
Su Ren shook his head slightly: "We never expected to decide in one battle! The Huns have been outside the Great Wall for hundreds of years. It would be a joke to defeat them in one battle! In fact, the outcome of the war depends on many aspects, and national strength is the best explanation. Ma
The Xiongnu almost fell apart in the First World War, and civil wars have continued in the past few years. It goes without saying that your Majesty should know how much stronger the Xiongnu is now compared to the military minister Shan Yu at the beginning? The Xiongnu is declining day by day, while the Han Dynasty is getting stronger. As time goes by, your Majesty
Do you think the water will win in the outcome of the war?"
King Xiutu stopped talking, and after a while he said: "It's useless for you and me to talk about this matter, let's talk about it now! I suffered heavy losses in the battle of Lengfengkou, but I didn't get many of the benefits that General Su said. Don't use it.
What kind of Qiang people, horse thieves and the like deceive this king? Everyone knows that in the five hundred miles radius of Yumen, General Su's words are more effective than anything else! Both the people from the Western Regions and the horse thieves are under Mr. Su's control.
Is the king right?"
Su Ren drank tea with a smile, without admitting or denying. King Xiutu continued: "I don't want more, I can retreat with 30,000 livestock!"
Su Ren nodded and said: "Your Majesty does not ask for much, and the conditions offered are suitable!"
"That's good, let people gather the livestock immediately and prepare it. My army cannot stay outside for too long!"
Su Ren waved his hand: "Don't worry, I haven't finished what I said. Thirty thousand livestock are indeed not many, and it is not impossible to give them to the king. The only thing I am worried about is whether the king can transport them back? Even if the king transports 30,000 livestock
When you go back, will you make wedding clothes for others? I’m afraid the king doesn’t know that when the king sent troops to Yumen, a group of horse thieves had already gone to the king’s tribe!”
King Xiutu was shocked and stood up: "Su Ren, you actually..."
Su Ren waved his hand: "Don't worry, these people have nothing to do with me. Have you ever heard of Hai Hu'er's name? Tell the truth to your Majesty, this Hai Hu'er is the fifth son of the former King of Huainan, the Han Dynasty. King Huainan will be convicted of rebellion.
, this son escaped from the Han Dynasty and has been hiding under the command of Yin Zhixie. It was just two years ago that this son suddenly left Yin Zhixie and came to the Western Regions, creating a reputation as a terrible man in the Western Regions!"
Having said this, Su Ren paused for a moment, glanced at King Xiutu, and then said: "Since this son is a traitor to our great Han Dynasty, I must pay more attention to it, so I sent people to keep an eye on Hai Hu'er as soon as he came to the Western Regions.
, it is certain that a large part of the goods and livestock that Hui Hu'er robbed in the Western Regions were sent to Yinshan! The king has turned a blind eye to Yin Zhixie's recruitment several times, so he is not worried about Yizhixie suddenly sending troops? "
"Perhaps the king feels that Yin Zhixie is competing with Yu Dan for the position of Shan Yu, and he has no soldiers to send! But he doesn't know that they have already placed a chess piece beside the king!"
King Xiutu listened quietly and pondered for a long time. Suddenly he raised his head and looked directly at Su Ren: "Are you lying to me?"
Su Ren smiled: "Whether you believe it or not is up to you, your Majesty. I'm just telling you this! What's more, things will soon become clear on the grassland. If I were your Majesty, I would never lead an army to the smiling town of Yumen. Instead, we should immediately enter the grassland and go to the Yinshan Mountains to help Yu Yi Zhixie, the future great Dan of the Xiongnu, defeat Yu Dan! We Han people have a saying that we can give to the king, which is that icing on the cake is not as good as providing charcoal in the snow! Although the charcoal is delivered late Some is worse than nothing, don’t you think?”
"You want me to go eastward and give you the entire Western Region?"
Su Ren smiled and said: "As long as the king goes eastward, he will be provided with 100,000 livestock, 100,000 shi of grain, as much salt and cloth as the king wants. You can send people to exchange for it. The price will only be based on the price of Chang'an City."
King Xiutu quickly made a calculation in his mind and laughed loudly: "Hahaha... They say that you, Su Ren, are the number one profiteer in the world. I still don't believe it, but today I finally saw it!" (To be completed!)
