Xian Sun of the Ning Mansion of the Red Chamber

Chapter 190

Hearing Jia Ying say Tasur's name, Zahamu, who was pretending to be an ordinary soldier, was slightly startled. The young and overly general in front of him seemed too smart.

Before I said anything, the other party guessed the person behind me.

"My name is Zahamu, and my master is Tasur Taiji."

In fact, it is not difficult for Jia Ying to guess this point. There are only two Huns in the pass, and now Shuwu has been defeated and captured. Among the remaining Huns, who are qualified to make deals with him, except Ta Su And no one else.

What he cared more about was what kind of deal Tasur wanted to make with him.

The Huns, who had lost twice in a row, had completely lost control of the battlefield in the pass, fell into a passive situation, and could only hide in the city of Pianguan.What conditions does Tasur want to use to negotiate a deal with himself?

And what does he want to trade?
Let yourself not attack sideways?

Jia Ying shook her head secretly, this is impossible, no matter how stupid Tasur is, she would not make such a request.But the chips in your own hands.
Jia Ying quietly glanced sideways at Daying behind him.

Don't do it!
Want to switch back to Shubudu?
But according to the captured Tongue, in the battle of Shilougou, Tasur personally buried thousands of Shuwudu's subordinates, while his own losses were minimal.The relationship between the two should not be so harmonious, right?

If it's not for the return of Shu Wudu, it can only be.
In an instant, Jia Ying's mind became much clearer. Although he didn't know what Tasur's purpose was, he could be sure that Tasur's purpose was definitely related to Shu Wudu.

"Tell me, what deal does he want to make with me?"

Zahamu said: "You have captured Shuwudu, my master wants Shuwudu's head!"

Sure enough.

Jia Ying's heart moved, and she said slowly, "What does Tasur want in exchange?"

"You first say whether you are willing to make this deal!" Zahamu asked.

Jia Ying shook her head, looked at the bearded and rough Zahamu and said: "You Huns really don't know how to do business. Since it is a transaction, it is natural to show the price of both parties. You have nothing Say, you have to ask me if I agree with you, hehe, do you think this official is very patient with you Huns?"

Zahamu's expression froze, a hint of anger floated up, and he suppressed it again, saying: "Shuwudu still has thousands of subordinates staying in Pianguan City. They want to send troops to rescue their leader wholeheartedly, as long as If you can meet my master's request, we don't need to send troops to help them attack you."

Jia Ying suddenly laughed, looked at Zahamu with a serious face, pointed to the army behind me and said, "Did you see the army behind me? Nearly ten thousand of you have died at the hands of my soldiers, no Speaking of the remaining thousands of remnant soldiers in Shuwudu who were defeated, so what if Tasur personally brought someone here? Don’t you know that the official is waiting for him to come, and he was lucky enough to escape last time, let’s see Will he have such good luck next time? Hmph!"

Seeing Jia Ying's indifferent appearance, Zahamu was furious in his heart, and said in his mouth: "You guys will only use some shameless tricks. If it is a real battlefield, you will lose!"

Hearing this, Jia Ying sneered in her heart, but she didn't bother to talk nonsense with the other party, she just said: "I don't have much patience to talk with you here, Tasur wants the head of Shu Wudu, so show your sincerity .”

"What do you want?" Zahamu asked in a deep voice.

Jia Ying smiled slightly and said, "If you want Shu Wudu's head, then you can exchange it with Biguan!"

"Impossible!" Zahamu knew that Jia Ying wanted the lion to open his mouth wide, but he didn't want to open it so wide.A Shuwudu is like changing a nine-border town, is he crazy?
Seeing Zahamu's refusal, Jia Ying didn't show any disappointment on his expression, but looked at the other party and said calmly: "You said that if Shuwu knew at this moment, Tasur sent you to use his subordinate's Life, what would you think in exchange for his head?"

"You are despicable!" Zahamu said angrily.

Jia Ying continued: "You said that if the official releases Shu Wu, what will he do?"

"you"

Without waiting for Zahamu to continue, Jia Ying interrupted impatiently: "Let your companion tell Tasur that if you want the head of Shuwudu, you can exchange it with Biguan, otherwise, I will The official doesn't mind sending him back to the grassland himself! As for you, stay and be with Shu Wudu as a companion!"

After all, without waiting for Zahamu to speak, he turned to the side and said, "Come here!"

"We promise you!"

When Jia Ying heard this, she waved her hand to let the guards who rushed over leave, looked at Zahamu and said, "Can you be the master?"

Zahamu didn't speak, but took out a delicate dagger from his arms and handed it over, saying, "This is my master's belongings."

Jia Ying took the dagger and played with it, but he didn't doubt the authenticity and function of the dagger. Whether the dagger is real or not is not important, what matters is Tasur's attitude.

Jia Ying's suggestion of exchanging a side pass for Shuwudu's head was nothing but a wild asking price that all merchants and peddlers in the Central Plains knew, but they didn't expect that the other party would not even return the price.

This shows that Tasur has long thought about going to the other side to make a replacement.

Who is Taiji?Is Shududu so valuable as a pawnbroker?

In fact, Tasul didn't mean to pay back the money without asking the sky-high price, so Zahamu said at the beginning that he would exchange his head with two thousand subordinates from Shuwudu because he was afraid that Jia Ying would kill him too hard.

As for the side pass, he really didn't want to stay any longer.

Originally thought that the most elite frontier soldiers of Daqian were dragged into the Nine Sides, and the troops of the Dagan Guards in the pass were not worth mentioning at all. After entering the pass, there would be countless women's wealth waiting for him to collect.But in just a few days, tens of thousands of Xiongnu warriors disappeared without a sound. The boulder fell into the pond without even a splash. How deep is the water!

Daqian is too dangerous, and the grassland is more suitable for him.

The most important thing is that before Shuwu was blocking the front, he could use Taiji's identity to suppress the opponent and let his subordinates go down to fight with the former army, but now Shuwu is gone.But Da Khan's plan to attack Dagan will not change because of the loss of a household. Ningwu and Yanmen still need someone to lead troops to attack.

Who else could this person be besides him?

If he continued to stay in the side pass, the soldiers and horses he had acquired with great difficulty would be exhausted in a short time.

"You stay here, let your companions go back and sue Tasur, and say that the official has agreed. After destroying the remnants of Shuwudu, he must immediately lead people to withdraw from Pianguan City, and attack the remnants of Shuwudu. , your people also need to take action, or I won't trust you!" Jia Ying put away the dagger, looked at Zahamu and said.

Seeing that Jia Ying once added conditions, Zahamu said firmly: "No, we have shown the greatest sincerity. Your Excellency exchanged a useless human head for a tall city. Isn't that enough? The Xiongnu A warrior's scimitar will never cut at one of his own."

Jia Ying sneered and said, "There is a saying in our Central Plains, I will give it to you today, don't be a whore and want to set up a memorial archway. Your sword, from the moment you stepped into my camp, has been It fell on your own people. Also, you have to make it clear that you have begged me, if you don’t want to, then tell Tasur, get ready for my army to attack the city.”

"What if your people attack us?" Zahamu said.

"How many people are there in the remnants of Shuwudu? Don't use lies to scare me anymore. The main force of Shuwudu is gone. There won't be too many people left behind in the side pass. I want an exact number. "Jia Ying asked.

"More than 300 people."

Jia Ying nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I will send two thousand cavalry, and you will also send two thousand cavalry, one-on-one, two-on-one, you won't be afraid, will you?"

Zahamu puffed up his chest: "The warriors in the grassland will not be afraid of any enemies. But I can't decide this matter. I will let my companions report to my master. You need to wait for the news."

wait for news?
"It seems that Tasur is not far away." Jia Ying thought to herself.

But he wasn't going to deal with Tasur. Compared with Pianguan, Tasur's life was nothing to Jia Ying.

"The remnants of Shuwudu are almost here, and you don't have much time left."

As he spoke, Jia Ying looked outside the tent: "Come here, bring the other one up."

After Zahamu's companions left, Jia Ying immediately called Mu Enshi Babu Shou and others together, and told everyone about the deal proposed by Tasur.

"My lord, will there be fraud?" Babu Shou asked worriedly.

Jia Ying looked at Mu Enci.

Mu Enci supported his chin and said: "As long as you can get back the side pass, no matter if it's fraudulent or not, you have to try it. Besides, the opponent's military strength is far from ours. With the thousands of horses left by Shu Wudu, If we face the cavalry of the Huns again, we will not be at a great disadvantage. At that time, Lao Ba will lead 2000 people as the main attacking force, and Zhao Hezhong will lead another force to follow behind. If the situation changes, there will be time for rescue. "

Jia Ying also nodded, and said, "That's right, as long as there is any chance to win the partial pass without bloodshed, it's worth a try. The water level of the Yellow River has already started to drop, and in a day or two, we can allow the army to cross the river." Now, time is the most precious thing for us. If you attack the pass by force, can you guarantee to take it down before the follow-up soldiers of the Huns arrive?"

Everyone is silent.

Seeing that everyone no longer objected, Jia Ying began to issue an order: "The troops should be divided into two groups. Cousin, I will leave 5000 troops for you, and half of the captured war horses. I will take the rest with me." The soldiers and horses made a detour and rushed to the city of Pianguan. As soon as the battle here goes smoothly, you send someone to inform me that we will block the two thousand cavalry from Tasur outside the city of Pianguan and force him to give up Pianguan. If If he dares to repent, eat his cavalry in front of him."

As he said that, Jia Ying said quite proudly: "Nowadays, I want people, guns, guns, and horses. I'm not afraid of Tasur's tricks in this battle of wealth."

Everyone in the big tent also laughed heartily.Most of the people sitting here are old people from the Hunan Army Camp. When they started their business, there were more than 3000 people patched together, and there were only two to three hundred horses. Most of them were small Dian horses and Guizhou horses. Not to mention firearms.And after one battle, more than half of them were gone.Today's Hunan Army Camp is indeed quite different.

"My lord, why don't we just eat this cavalry from Tasur?" Xu Kuta eagerly asked.

Jia Ying shook her head and said with a smile, "It would be a pity to throw away such a good partner after using them once. Let them go and leave a good impression on each other. Maybe there will be a chance to cooperate next time?"

After the agreement, everyone began to split up. The distance from this place is not too far. If you go fast, it will take more than two hours. The speed of the army may be slower, but it will not take half a day at most.

Although Zahamu was left in the Hunan army camp, Jia Ying did not let him be imprisoned, but allowed him some freedom.Zahamu saw that Jia Ying's army was divided into two groups, marching all the way towards the Pianguan, while he was left behind in the Bajiao Fort, thinking that it was Jia Ying who was going to use some kind of conspiracy, he kept clamoring to see Xiang who was staying behind. The chief officer of the barracks, but the soldiers who guarded him turned a deaf ear.

Tasur was indeed waiting ten miles away from the Octagonal Fort. As for Tukule, he had ordered to send support to Tukule’s subordinates to slow down Tukule’s marching speed. Tukule only had two thousand soldiers and horses. No matter how displeased he was when he got reinforcements, he could only endure it.

After Tasur learned about Jia Ying's request from Zahamu's personal soldiers, he agreed without hesitation.

His goal is very clear, that is, not to leave hidden dangers for himself, Shu Wudu and his subordinates must die.As for wielding knives against people of the same clan, he has already reached this point, so there is nothing he can't do.

On the one hand, Tasul sent someone to answer Jia Ying, and on the other hand, he sent someone to inform the subordinates who were with Tukule. He took a detour and flew back to the city with his personal guards. He was too close to the camp of the former army. It made him feel insecure, even if his riding skills were superb on the grasslands.

Tukule, who was dedicated to the savior, was extremely angry at Lu Jinha's procrastination along the way, but even though he sent people to urge him repeatedly, the other party seemed to ignore him and avoided seeing him.Tukule, who was so angry, wanted to lead his generals alone, but he knew that the army was powerful, and his strength alone was not enough. He needed Tasur's help, so he could only endure it Come down, the constant prayer in my heart can't last until the moment when the reinforcements arrive.

It took more than 150 miles from Pianguan to Bajiaobao, but it took an hour to leave the city for the army to travel less than [-] miles.

Is this fucking cavalry galloping on the grassland?

Fortunately, all this finally changed. Shilu Hajin's attitude suddenly became positive, and even sent someone to urge him to speed up.

Although Tukule was a little puzzled by the performance before and after the loss of Lu Hajin, he didn't care about it right now, and the most important thing was to rush to the Octagonal Fort.

Immediately Tukule ordered the army to speed up the march. On the way, he sent someone to check on the Shiluhajin Department that was following behind. Hearing his subordinates report that the other party was closely following, Tutuule was completely relieved. Hurry up and prepare for the next big battle.

When he arrived at the Octagonal Fort with his soldiers and horses, he found a cavalry cavalry lined up neatly in a long queue a few miles away, as if waiting for them. The battle here had long since ended.

Tukule's heart sank suddenly, and a strong resentment rose in his heart for Tasur and Shiluhajin, and his eyes were full of hatred and anger when he looked at the Qianjun ahead.

For this Southern Expedition, King Zuoguli ordered Shuwudu to use all the young and strong members of the tribe, and all the adult males of their Zhazhitri tribe were brought here, and now only these people are left around.

What would happen to the prairie tribe that lost more than half of the adult men, Tutuli knew better than anyone else, how could he not be very happy!

"withdraw!"

Tukule suppressed the anger in his heart, and made a choice that everyone couldn't think of.His people have died enough, they can't die anymore, the women and children in the tribe are still waiting for them to go home, they need the protection of the men, and they must leave a spark for the resurgence of the Zhazhi tribe.

But when he led his men to turn the horse's head, he suddenly found that Lu Hajin's men and horses had pulled away from him at some point. At this moment, the soldiers had already held the scimitar in their hands, and this distance, It is the best interval for the cavalry to charge.

Tukule suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, but he still sent someone to inform Shiruhajin of his decision to retreat, but he didn't rashly lead his troops to approach.

Rumble!
The sound of large-scale cavalry marching came from behind, and Tukule turned his head to see that the dry army had already charged them.

"Gu Qu, our people have been killed!" Suddenly, a soldier beside him pointed in the direction where Lu Hajin was, and exclaimed.

Tukule turned his head to look forward, and the clansman he sent had fallen off his horse.

"Shilu Hajin! Are you going to betray the Great Khan?" Tukule shouted sharply.

It's just that Shilu Hajin didn't look at him, but raised the scimitar in his hand and shouted: "Come on!"

On the other side, Tasur, who had returned to Pianguan City, finally had a big stone in his heart. In order to vent the pressure of the past few days, he ordered people to bring two Han women who were imprisoned in the sheepfold, and violently tore them off. He took off the clothes on them, grabbed one of them, and pressed it hard.

As for the big win Jia Ying's request to withdraw from the side pass, after the troubles in front of him disappeared, he had already left it behind.

There were men's roars and women's screams in the house.

After one woman passed out, another was replaced immediately. He liked to hear the helpless screams of Han women.

But at this time, the voice of the guard suddenly sounded outside the door: "Taiji is not good, the army is besieging the city!"

Tasur, who was in high spirits, was startled suddenly, and his body trembled violently.

Tasur, whose interest was interrupted, looked gloomy, and tightly clenched the big hand of the Han woman.

Click!

The woman's neck bone snapped.

Tasul hurriedly put on his clothes and rushed to the top of the city tower. Looking at the army of thousands of people gradually approaching Pianguan City, and the faintly visible "Jia" and "Xiang" banners waving in the wind, A kind of anger after being teased appeared on Tasur's sinister face.

Tasul was about to send someone out of the city to ask for clarification, but saw the opposing army suddenly stop, and then a cavalryman drove out from the camp towards the city gate.

call out!
An arrow grazed Tasur's arrow and nailed it to the pillar of the tower behind him, with an envelope tied to it.

Tasur opened the envelope, and saw a concise sentence written on the envelope:

"Exit the side pass, but the army of Baoer's army is safe, and the heads will be offered together. Otherwise, don't say it was unpredictable."

Signed, there is only one word Jia!
Tasur clenched the letter paper in his hand into a ball, with the veins on his face exposed, he stared at the people under the "Jia" banner under the city, wanting to breathe out fire.

Immediately afterwards, another group of soldiers came out of the opposing camp. The soldiers escorted a prisoner and stopped a stone's throw away from the city gate.

Another arrow shot over:
"Open the city gate and allow a group of hundreds of soldiers from me to enter the city, and I will offer you a head."

At the same time, in the Hunan army camp, two sub-mother cannons and eight tiger cannons were also pushed out, and dozens of soldiers carried long ladders in teams, ready to attack the city at any time!

At this moment, there are only less than 3000 guards in Pianguan City.

He promised to give way, and never thought of going back on his word, but it's not such a way to give in!
But he was also worried that Jia Ying would turn his back on him, let alone whether he could withstand the opponent's attack, what if the other side turned his back and revealed the things between them?
Tasur was completely cornered.

Tasur grew up so big, and he had never seen such a brazen person like Jia Ying. Before the transaction was over, he was about to turn his face. Is this still a human thing?

After struggling for a long time, Tasur still ordered: "Open the city gate!"
