My father is Emperor Wu of Han, how can I be different from him?

Chapter 38 Something happened

The negotiations ended in failure. King Xiutu left in anger first, followed by King Hunxie with a dark face.

Beside the river.

Looking at the backs of the cavalry leaving in the distance, Liu Ju seemed to understand something.

Zhuang Qingzhai stepped forward and said, "According to Generals Huo and Li, they have blocked the road to the west. King Xiu Tu's request for help is probably just bluffing!"

"Hmm~"

Liu Ju groaned for a moment and did not comment.

Zhuang Qingzhai also looked in the direction where the Xiongnu had left, and said, "King Xiutu is not easily persuaded, and King Hunxie is active, but he is also greedy."

"Your Highness, if there is another negotiation, you should lower the conditions..."

The Prince's Tutor is giving advice to the Prince.

Liu Ju was in charge of the negotiations. If he agreed to conditions that were too generous to the Huns, it would inevitably be interpreted as weakness.

After returning to Beijing.

There will inevitably be rumors in the court!
Liu Ju didn't take it seriously when he heard it. He got on his horse and said with a smile, "Haha, it's okay."

He had agreed so readily before because he was thinking of persuading the other party to surrender first. As for King Hunxie's greed, what would it matter if he satisfied it?
He also has to live to enjoy it.

Yu Shan, the son of the Chanyu, a military minister who once competed with Yizhixie for the throne of Chanyu, fled to the Han Dynasty after his defeat and was named Marquis of She'an by the emperor!
But less than a few months.

Yu Shan died without a sound...

We do not ask King Hunxie to fight for the Han Dynasty like Gao Bushi and Puduo did. He just needs to be more restrained after surrendering to the Han Dynasty.

otherwise.

No matter how much Liu Ju promised him, he would be able to make King Hunxie spit it out intact and send him to follow in Shan's footsteps!
Just saying.

These are all considered based on normal thinking, but at the moment, Liu Ju has an idea that is not in line with common sense.

As he drove his horse forward, he suddenly told Zhuang Qingzhai about the previous scene, "When King Xiutu was talking about asking the Chanyu for help, I noticed that King Hunxie was extremely shocked."

"Hey."

"Master, if I were to die in the hands of a minister, would he dare to report this to the Emperor?"

"Aren't you looking for death?"

After saying this, Liu Ju flicked his whip, laughed and left.

Zhuang Qingzhai behind him was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses. The example given by His Highness was very unlucky, but very vivid.

The son of the Chanyu was captured alive by the Han army in Hunxie King City, which is more shameful than death. If this matter were in the hands of Your Majesty, you would definitely kill the entire Hunxie King family!
Does he still dare to ask Chanyu for help?

No.

It must be King Xiutu who acted on his own initiative.

Either King Xiu Tu didn't know that King Hun Xie had caused a big mess, or he knew and still insisted on asking for help...

After sorting out his thoughts, Zhuang Qingzhai came up with countless ways to sow discord in almost the next second!
"Hahahaha!"

The Prince's tutor finally understood why his student had laughed so loudly just now. He should have laughed. He immediately rode his horse to catch up with Liu Ju and said admiringly:

"Your Highness is quick-witted, I am not as good as you!"

Liu Ju did not respond to this half sincere, half flattering remark. He just smiled, greeted Huo Qubing, and left quickly.

That was less than a quarter of an hour after they left.

The rumbling sound of horse hooves covered the grassland, and King Xiutu, who had made a surprise attack, searched back and forth.

In the end, he gained nothing and returned to the royal city angrily...

Han army camp.

As soon as he came back, Liu Ju borrowed a few people, including some Huns, from Huo Qubing.

"Can you sneak into the city?"

"It's OK if there are few people. There are many tribes in the city. There are often tribesmen going out to collect firewood and water at the north gate. It won't be difficult to find a chance to sneak in."

"Okay, after you go in, spread the news that the Chanyu's son has been captured in Hunxie King City. If there is no commotion in the city, spread the news that the Xiutu tribe wants to annex the Hunxie tribe, and then hold on and wait for help. Remember?"

"Your Highness, remember this!"

Outside the Chinese army's tent.

Several Hun soldiers took off their armor, put on sheepskin coats, and rushed into the wilderness, disappearing after a while.

Regardless of whether King Xiutu knew that King Hunxie had caused a disaster, Liu Ju had taken countermeasures.

leftover……

Liu Ju looked at Huo Qubing and Li Guang on both sides and said, "Two generals, wait for three more days. If nothing unexpected happens in the city after three days, then we can attack it." "Yes!"

……

……

Just one day later.

Xiu Tu Wang City, night.

Since the failure of the negotiations yesterday, King Hunxie and King Xiutu had a big quarrel after returning to the city and have never met each other since.

King Hunxie was staying in the east of the city where his family gathered. It was said that he was very angry and could often hear sounds of smashing, shouting and cursing.

King Xiutu ignored him and started to make preparations in full swing. What were he preparing for?

Annex the Hunxie tribe!
The Crown Prince of the Han Dynasty could never have imagined that without your framing him, the other party was indeed planning to do so.

The failure of the negotiations can no longer be used as an excuse for delay. In order to prevent any changes from happening, King Xiutu decided to take action early tomorrow morning!

just.

Plans cannot keep up with changes, and something unexpected happened tonight...

In the king's tent.

"Riti, has there been any response from the people we sent to the north for help?" When asking this question, King Xiutu was wiping the scimitar in his hand with a rough cloth soaked in grease in the light of the fire.

"No."

Hearing this, King Xiutu was not discouraged, as he had already guessed that this would happen.

The passage to the west was blocked, so they could only send a small number of elite troops to the north to cross the desert. Not to mention whether they would succeed, even if they did, the arrival of reinforcements would be a long way off.

The distance from the Mobei Royal Court to here is too far!
In the past, if I wanted to ask for help, I should go directly to the Right Wise King, but now...it’s better not to mention it.

"never mind!"

King Xiu Tu raised his scimitar, his face flickering in the light of the fire, "Even if there is no reinforcement, we can still protect ourselves by swallowing up the Hunxie tribe!"

talking.

He looked at his eldest son and said, "Tomorrow I will invite King Hunxie to come to discuss surrender again. You should prepare your sword outside the tent and throw the cup as a signal."

Riti played with the dagger and nodded slightly.

This plan was originally proposed by him, so it was natural for him to respond immediately.

"Once we have devoured the people of the Hunxie tribe, we will hand over the tribe to you to lead." At this time, King Xiu Tu was full of confidence, "Once we have overcome this crisis, the land west of the Yellow River will all belong to our Xiu Tu tribe!"

"Ah!"

"Crisis, crisis, danger and opportunity coexist. Haha, it's finally my turn..."

Before he finished his declaration, a man suddenly rushed in from outside the tent, his face full of sweat and panic, and he opened his mouth and said:

"Chief, something happened! The fourth prince was captured alive by the Han people!"

The fourth prince?
King Xiutu was a little surprised when he heard the first few words, but when he heard what happened, he immediately felt relieved.

"Capture him alive, what does it have to do with us? Why are you making such a fuss? Where did you get the news? Where was the fourth prince captured?"

The prime minister who came to report lowered his voice and said anxiously: "It's in Hunxie King City!"

As soon as I heard those words.

King Xiutu, who had just sat down, was stunned for a moment, then stood up. His original nonchalant expression, as if he thought it had nothing to do with him, disappeared completely.

"you……"

"I heard the news in the city, and then I went to the Hunxie tribe to capture a few tongues and interrogated them!" The prime minister gritted his teeth in anxiety.

"That bastard King Hunxie deceived us. When the Han people attacked the city, the Fourth Prince happened to be on a diplomatic mission to the Hunxie tribe."

"He left the fourth prince in the city to die! Chief!"

"We are going to be badly hurt by him now!"

The man became more and more anxious and angrier as he spoke, and finally he was so angry that he kicked over the brazier.

The tent immediately fell into darkness.

In the dark space, several roars were heard one after another. King Xiutu felt his scalp tingling when he thought about sending people to ask the Great Chanyu for help!
Amid the angry curses, a calm voice sounded, "Don't panic, as long as we kill King Hunxie and take his head, the Great Chanyu will not implicate us!"

"Damn it!" King Xiutu was still not satisfied.

That's when.

There was another voice coming from far away outside the tent, reporting quickly: "Chief, Chief, King Hunxie is here, and he wants to apologize..."
