Straight man of steel

Chapter 464

Every day after Chu Da came back from Yizhixie's military tent, he could always see Han Chinese gathered in his big tent.

They were all waiting for Chu Da to bring back some effective information.

Some people want the big guy to win, and some people don't want the big guy to win.

People who hope that the big man will win are a little pitiful. Chu Da only knows that there are two embroidered messengers and one Li Ju who have the same idea as him.

He didn't dare to test other people's minds, nor could he.

Because apart from him and Li Ju, Li Shuo was the only one who didn't have his whole family killed by Liu Che.

But when the news of Li Shuo's surrender to the Huns reached the Han Dynasty, the Li family in Longxi was finished.

Chu Da was quite sure of this. He had never doubted Liu Che's ruthlessness.

You must know that the mistake he made at the beginning was an unintentional act. He was originally an official who served several masters in the palace.

Could he not listen to what Chen Ajiao said?
What happened next can only be said that he did not take his responsibilities strictly, but just because of this Liu Che asked him to go to the Huns to die.

If it weren't for Zhang Yuan, Chu Da would definitely not be alive now.

The only thing that keeps him going now is his family. He knows that if he dies, it will be unclear what will happen in the future. His people, his parents, his wife and sons may all be killed because of him.

When he entered the big tent, he gritted his teeth when he saw fellow Han Chinese.

For the sake of his family, he can only choose a few people to die.

"Everyone, Da Shanyu has other ideas today."

"Is it still possible to attack Yuyang City?"

The most anxious one is Li Shuo. If the Huns win, it's easy to say that the Han Dynasty will not know his life or death. But if the Huns lose, he won't be able to hide it.

The Han army would know that Li Shuo had surrendered to the Huns if they captured any Hun with a relatively high status.

Like Chu Da, he also has a wife and children.

If he could escape from the Huns now, he could tell Liu Che that it was an expedient measure when he returned to the Han Dynasty, that he was enduring humiliation and pretending to surrender.

But does he have a chance?

The chances are almost zero.

It’s not that none of the dozen or so Han people in the big tent thought about running away. There were only a dozen or so of them at the beginning, and it’s obvious that they didn’t run away and died.

"The fight must be big, but they only fight when they want Wei Qing to leave the city.

Just now the Great Chanyu said that I want to select a few people to go shouting under the city wall of Yuyang City.

Force Wei Qing to fight!
Who of you wants to say for yourself, if you can come back alive, your status in the Huns may be higher than mine now. "

After Chu Da finished speaking, he looked at more than a dozen people in the big tent, and found that none of them dared to look directly at him.

If Wei Qing hadn't been impulsive, they would have died at best.

But if they hadn't died, all the Huns who had ridiculed them on the walls of Yuyang City would have died.

Compared with each other, it is difficult for them to get along here.

The best result is that they can be captured by Wei Qing, and maybe say something, Wei Qing can let them go temporarily, but when they return to Chang'an City, Liu Che probably won't let them go.

The last result is to be shot on the spot.

After much deliberation, the end of the three results may be death, so why go to death.

Isn't it just for them to survive on the side of the Huns?

"No one stood up, so I chose someone myself."

"Brother Chu, we have been with you for several years, why not let Li Ju and Li Shuo go.

They may be captured by the Han army, and they may still have a chance of survival. It is said that they would rather die than surrender after being captured by the Huns!
Yes, I would rather die than surrender! "

Li Shuo's eyes lit up, this was an opportunity, an opportunity to return to Dahan safely.

"Brother Chu, let me and Li Ju go. If we can survive back to Dahan, we must take good care of your wives and children who are still alive."

Chu Da glanced at Li Shuo, I still need you to take care of my wife and children?
He immediately refused out loud.

"No, if the two of them fled to Yuyang City, do you think Da Shanyu is an idiot?

He will definitely send people there again. If the people he sends are still captured by Wei Qing, we people will not have a way to survive.

I can't let these two people live, and then I die for them. "

Chu Da pointed out the key points in a few words, and what he said was the truth.

The Huns are not fools.

How could they let the Han people run back.

If Chu Da hadn't needed to wait until the most critical moment to obtain important first-hand information, he wouldn't be choosing someone now, and it wouldn't be flattering to go directly to Yuyang City with Li Ju.

Wei Qing knew about him, so he would definitely not attack him, and if the Huns chased him out, Wei Qing would send an army out of the city to protect him.

The way Chu Da thought of forcing Wei Qing to send an army out of the city was to use himself as bait.

But he would never tell anyone about this method until he died.

"Brother Chu, choose someone, I won't go anyway!"

A person said forcefully.

His family members were all dead, and Liu Che only showed affection to Chu Da.

For the rest of the people who didn't know the details, if they surrendered to the big man, they really surrendered, and it was normal for Liu Che to kill their family members.

"Only you, and you!"

Chu Da pointed to this person, and also pointed to another person whom he suspected to be the embroidered clothes messenger.

"Everyone else get out, and you two get ready too.

Write down everything you want to say, and if there is a chance in the future, I will pass it to the people you want to give it to. "

Chuda first wanted to drive out the irrelevant people inside.

Seeing that they had nothing to do with themselves, staying here would be no different from gloating, so they all dispersed.

The two people who stayed in the big tent also understood their fate, so they didn't say much, and really started writing on the animal skin.

"Brother Chu, I don't know if anyone in the family is still alive, if anyone is alive, then you can give him this letter.

If no one is alive, then please help me adopt a Han child, whether it is on the side of the Xiongnu or the side of the big man, please change his surname to mine so that my ethnic group can continue. "

Chu Da nodded and agreed.

In fact, they are all hard-fated people. If they were not forced to be helpless, who would be willing to surrender to the Huns.

They are all ignorant people, and it is very difficult to be absolutely loyal to the big man.

In particular, there was news from the Huns that their family members had been killed, which made them completely surrender to the Huns.

Even so, they still miss the big man in their hearts.

Chu Da knew that this person would not live long, but he couldn't tell the truth.

Although their family members were all dead, the reality was only after they actually surrendered.

Instead of what they knew, it was Liu Che who killed their family members first and then they surrendered.

In fact, Liu Che gave their family a chance to survive, but he didn't make this chance public.

Although the other person wrote a letter, he didn't say much.

This further confirmed Chuda's thoughts.

Then he pulled the man aside and stuffed a letter into his arms.

"Hide this letter, maybe it can save your life."

I didn't say anything else, Chu Da just patted his chest where the letter was placed.

Then Chu Da saw that the two had sent out the big tent.

Watch them mount their horses and leave the military camp.

Chu Da thought about it, and in order to prevent accidents, he also led a horse out of the barracks.

The Huns knew that the two Han people were there to make a scene, and many people followed to watch the excitement.

Chu Da followed slowly on his horse, until he was almost visible to the people on the city wall before stopping.

"General, that person seems to be Chu Da."

Gongsun He and Chu Da knew each other very well, and recognized him from a few hundred meters away.

In fact, a large part of the reason is that Chu Dachuan wears the official uniform of a big man, and the quality is something that only a high official can wear.

On the Huns side, only Chu Da had this dress, and the Huns didn't care about it. Even if they knew this, Chu Da could fool him.

Just say that wearing an official uniform can make Wei Qing more angry, and no one will doubt anything about such a statement.

Put yourself in their shoes, if the Huns saw someone wearing their uniforms and provoking them, they wouldn't feel good about it.

"That's Chu Da. The two people who came in front are Han Chinese."

"It should be the official of the mission who surrendered to the Huns together with Chu Da."

Wei Qing nodded, secretly thinking about what Chu Da had done.

As a result, the two Han people began to curse as soon as they approached the city wall of Yuyang City.

Wei Qing frowned and immediately ordered.

"Shoot these two!"

"Really killed?"

"What pity do traitors have? You can't kill them."

"No! Do it!"

The two arrows were shot immediately, and of course the two Han Chinese who were sent by Chu Da to make noise had no hope of surviving.

Chu Da stared at Wei Qing and hit his chest.

Because his back was facing the Huns, no one saw his movements.

This action was noticed by Wei Qing and Gongsun He.

"After nightfall, send someone down from the city wall, and then bring these two corpses back."

Gongsun He didn't understand.

People are dead and why bring the corpses back.

"What is the general's intention?"

"When people are dead, the hatred is gone.

Bring their corpses back into the city to avoid being devoured by wild beasts outside. They are all Han people anyway. "

"I understand."

Gongsun He said he understood, but in fact he was still confused.

After Chuda finished this action, he took the reins of the war horse and left the scene.

King Yizhixie Hunxie and the others knew about it immediately. It seemed that it was the same for Wei Qing whether they were Han or Huns.

I also know how determined Wei Qing is.

Just don't follow the Huns' tricks and stay in the city and don't come out.

Seeing Wei Qing's attitude, King Hunxie guessed in his heart that Zhang Yuan must not be in Yuyang City.

The Han envoy who went to him at the beginning had a very tough attitude, and even asked him to take the initiative to join the army of the Huns headquarters, without any worry that he would support the Huns.

King Hunxie also vaguely guessed that if the Han army had the next move, it would only be carried out when Zhang Yuan arrived.

The two Han corpses were left just outside Yuyang City. It was impossible for the Huns to collect the corpses, because collecting the corpses would have to be within the range of the Han army. That would be to die.

Chu Da also understood this in his heart, so he put the letter into the clothes of the person who was suspected to be the embroidered clothes messenger.

At night, Gongsun He and Wei Qing stood on the top of the city, and asked people to specifically extinguish the torches on the city wall on the side of the corpse.

Several soldiers lowered the rope, then climbed down themselves, moved the two bodies to the bottom of the city, put them into a large bamboo basket, and pulled the rope.

The soldiers on the city wall immediately pulled the bamboo basket up.

"Let's put these two corpses in a private house and cremate them in the daytime tomorrow."

"Here."

In order not to make people suspicious, Wei Qing made such an arrangement first.

After everyone left, Wei Qing secretly transferred away the soldiers guarding outside the houses.

He went in and took off all the clothes of the two corpses, and then found the letter from Chu Da.

But he didn't open it to read, but restored the scene to its original state, and opened the letter after he returned to the prefect's mansion in Yuyang City and closed the gate tightly.

"What are the characters on this?"

Wei Qing was taken aback when he opened the letter.

'90, hx, 20, xn, 50, wh, 20.
LJHR, LSYTX.

XNYSQJZJH. '

Not to mention Wei Qing, even Zhang Yuan probably had to study for a long time to find the correct answer when he saw Chu Da's coded letter.

After knowing that the letter was not for him, Wei Qing hid the letter.

He knew that there was a special way of contact between Zhang Yuan and Chu Da, but he didn't expect it to be so cruel, so cruel that he couldn't understand it at all.

After hiding the letter, Wei Qing lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

As for sending the letter to Zhang Yuan, Wei Qing didn't even think about the possibility.

Nearly a million cavalry surrounded Yuyang County on three levels and three levels outside. Except for flying over from the sky, it was impossible to pass through this line of defense even by tunneling.

Zhang Yuanren also waited for Wei Qing's letter in Zhuoxian County.

And fifty thousand well-armed cavalry,

These [-] cavalry are the strongest cavalry in the entire Han Dynasty except for the Eighth Colonel of the Northern Army and the Habayashi Army of the Qimen Army.

Wei Qing has always held the military power.

That's why Zhang Yuan said that Wei Qing was Liu Che's most favored minister.

When Zhang Yuan was asked to stop King Xiutu and King Hunxie, the [-] cavalry given to Zhang Yuan was far inferior to the [-] cavalry.

If it weren't for Zhang Yuan's cleverness, he would have taken the Habayashi Army and the Qimen Army.

The battle of Husband Yangju Shanzao was really over.

King Hunxie completely felt that if he fought recklessly with the Han army, he might lose his family fortune, so he sent someone to negotiate with Zhang Yuan.

But if Zhang Yuan didn't have a trump card in his hand, King Hunxie would not have such an idea and would directly choose to fight the Han army instead of selling King Xiutu.

Although Zhang Yuan was very happy that the [-] troops came, the smile on his face disappeared when he saw who was leading the troops.

Wei Qing's ability to bring Zhang Yuan's old enemy Gongsun Ao over was something Zhang Yuan never expected.

But after thinking about it, Zhang Yuan felt that it might not be Wei Qing's idea, but Liu Che's.
