The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 853
On April [-]th of the first year of Guangwu, a large number of soldiers stood on the wall of Tianyu Pass with weapons.

The soldiers were well-groomed, all of them looked murderous, and their eyes were focused on the approaching troops in the distance.

On the south side of Tianyuguan, there is a large open area, and a large number of troops have gathered, and there are long lines on both sides of the city gate.

The most important pass in the northwest, Tianyuguan, has two Wengcheng gates inside and outside, so there are three gates in the north, middle and south.

At this moment, the south gate and the middle gate have been opened, Meng Hai, Commander of Wu Dingwei, and Zhang Ziming, a member of the Northwest Governor's Office, are standing side by side in the south gate.

The two looked solemn and did not communicate with each other, blending in with the entire chilling atmosphere.

As time passed, there was an announcement from the city gate.

"My lord, the barbarian has arrived outside the north gate!"

Hearing this, Meng Hai turned his eyes to Zhang Ziming, waiting for the order from the envoy of the Governor's Office.

"Open the city gate!" Zhang Ziming said calmly.

At this moment, he is much more vicissitudes than before, because he has too many things to be busy with.

"Open the city gate!" Meng Hai shouted at the soldiers in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers at the north city gate tens of meters away began to push the extremely heavy city gate.

The sound of "rumbling" sounded, and a bright light appeared between the city gates, and as the gap widened, the Huns outside the gate appeared in front of Meng Hai.

Of course, the Huns outside the city gate looked in from the outside, but it was another scene.

The deep city gate, the oppressive urn city, and the soldiers staring at the city wall all made Dingling Wang Yu Lixi feel uneasy.

But at this time, Yu Lixi would never be stage fright, so when all the city gates were opened, Yu Lixi walked into the city gate on horseback.

As he passed, the situation in the first urn city gradually unfolded before his eyes.

On the left and right sides, there were hundreds of armed soldiers standing on each side. Those spears shining with cold light reminded Yu Lixi of some unpleasant memories.

The soldiers of the Jin army stared at him coldly, which also brought great pressure to Yu Lixi, which made his heart beat faster.

Pass through the urn city, and then enter the middle gate, the inside of the urn city is almost the same as the previous layout.

At the south gate further ahead, although the city gate had already been opened, it was stopped by soldiers of the Jin army in formation.

In the end, Yu Lixi stopped in Nanurn City because he could no longer move forward.

At this moment, the north gate of Wengcheng was closed, and there was a dull sound when the gate collided.

A large number of Jin troops lined up at the front and back, and there were even more Jin troops standing on the city wall with crossbows. Yu Lixi and his party became the turtles in the urn.

Behind Yu Lixi, more than a hundred attendants who followed into the city showed panic on their faces at this moment.

Even a warrior who has survived a hundred battles will feel panic and fear when encountering the current mortal situation.

"Everything is quiet..." Yu Lixi called out.

Although he also had fear, but as the backbone of the entire team, Yu Lixi did not show any fear.

With his loud roar, the people behind him became quiet one after another, putting their hands on the hilt of the knife one by one, ready to fight to the death.

"There is a saying in your Jin court that when the two armies go to war, they will not kill the envoys who come!"

"Now we are not at war, are you going to kill us?"

Zhemu shouted loudly to Meng Hai, conveying Yu Lixi's anger at the moment.

"You Jin people say that you are a state of etiquette. Is this the reason for your hospitality?"

Hearing these words, Zhang and Meng didn't feel anything, obviously they didn't take it to heart.

"We do not allow foreign weapons to set foot on our land!" Zhang Ziming shouted loudly.

After Oreki translated, Yu Lixi was furious: "As fighters, knives are our hands and feet. Are you going to cut off our hands and feet?"

"It's you who are going to talk, and you are the ones who are messing around. I think you are not sincere..."

"Since this is the case, you should go back to your grassland, where is the place for you to play with knives!" Zhang Ziming scolded angrily.

The Governor's Office judged that the Huns were already on the verge of collapse, so they sent envoys to ask for peace.

So Zhang Ziming's current "making things difficult" is actually not only to kill his prestige, but also to test these Huns.

If these people endured it, it would indeed prove that the Huns could hardly hold on.

Putting down the knife was indeed an unacceptable condition for Ding Lingwang, and it made him more uncomfortable than losing a battle.

At this time, a person behind Yu Lixi reminded: "My lord, everything is for the overall situation!"

Although he was only a commander, he was sent by the court of the Huns, so his words carried a lot of weight.

This person chattered a lot, and Yu Lixi was finally persuaded.

"Warriors, the sun will rise after sunset, and the sword we put down can be picked up again!"

After saying this, Yu Lixi said with a serious face: "Throw away the knives in your hands!"

Right now, "strong enemies are on the lookout", but the king let himself throw away the sword for self-protection, which made Ding Lingren very incomprehensible.

But in the end, as Yu Lixi himself put down his weapons, the rest of the Huns in the Weng City also dropped their weapons one after another.

Grief and indignation could be seen on everyone's faces, which was indeed a great shame to them.

"Our weapons are our brothers and sisters. I hope you can collect them easily and return them to us intact!" Oreki shouted loudly, conveying Yu Lixi's will.

Zhang Ziming said calmly: "We don't know about this, so we don't need you to remind us!"

Yu Lixi shouted again and asked: "Now, can you give way?"

The purpose of probing and suppressing had been achieved, Zhang Ziming didn't waste time now, and immediately ordered the sergeants blocking the way to get out of the way.

After the army retreated, Yu Lixi rode forward and passed the south gate with one of his men.

After leaving the Wengcheng, feeling the vast world, their frightened mentality gradually reversed, at least they no longer felt oppressed.

At this time, the soldiers in the Urn City withdrew one after another, and the middle and south gates were also closed one after another.

These retreating soldiers had a well-organized formation and high morale. Yu Lixi felt that they were very different from the previous Jin army just by observing them a little.

"Perhaps the last defeat was not only caused by our clan underestimating the enemy!" Yu Lixi thought to himself.

"Let's go, I'll take you to quarantine first!" Zhang Ziming said calmly.

"Isolation?" Oreki was surprised, this was the first time he heard this word.

"That's right!"

"What is isolation?"

"I just want to find a place for you to live in for three days and see if any of you are infected with corpse poison!" Zhang Ziming explained.

"What is corpse poison?" Oreki asked again.

"Those monsters that bite people are like walking corpses. The poison they carry on their bodies should naturally be called corpse poison!"

"You...you are deceiving people too much!" Oreki couldn't help roaring.

These people are obviously normal people, but Jin people suspect that they have been infected with evil spirits. This is a very vicious curse.

Hearing Zhemu's roar, although they didn't know what happened, the warriors of the other tribes clenched their fists and were ready to fight.

And their actions aroused the vigilance of the soldiers of the Jin army, and the atmosphere at the scene froze for a while.

After listening to Oreki's narration, although Yu Lixi also felt angry, he didn't say much.

A few minutes later, Yu Lixi and others dismounted, and under the "escort" of soldiers from the Jin Army, they went to an empty village not far away, where they would be quarantined.

Standing at the back, looking at Yu Lixi and his party, Zhang Ziming looked puzzled.

"They let us fiddle with it at will, so... I'm afraid there is really something we need!"

Meng Hai nodded, now he felt that there was hope for a peace negotiation, after all, it was the Huns who were the first to persuade.
