Yeluhan gritted his teeth, and because of Hu Yanliang's words, a sarcastic smile appeared on his face.

It seems that all the efforts he has made over the years have been in vain.

He closed his eyes, opened them again, and said word by word: "You win."

Hearing this, Hu Yanliang rolled his eyes angrily: "What are you talking about? I went through all the trouble to find you, not just to hear you say this."

Yeluhan raised his head and stared at Hu Yanliang suspiciously.

Seeing this, Hu Yanliang sneered: "You must never judge a gentleman with a villain's heart. I am a gentleman, and I have no intention of killing you."

As soon as these words came out, Yeluhan was stunned.

Hu Yanliang added: "You should know that now that our Xiongnu government is unstable, it is the time when we need talents."

"It just so happens that what we lack most are generals!" Hu Yanliang said, "We don't dare to use those civil servants. We can only use some wise generals."

"But there are very few generals with brains, so I thought of you."

As soon as Hu Yanliang's words came out, Yeluhan fell into shock.

He couldn't believe that this was what Hu Yanliang said. He and Hu Yanliang had always been mortal enemies. The two had been tit-for-tat since they were selected as royal guards at a young age. Even now, he and Hu Yanliang are still sworn enemies. They dislike each other.

Yeluhan's eyes were unconcealed, and Hu Yanliang had already noticed it. At this time, he sneered: "What? You don't believe what I say?"

"Then you should trust Khan, right?" Hu Yanliang said, throwing an imperial edict to Yeluhan.

All the systems of the Xiongnu were inherited from the Chu State, and even the imperial edicts were the same as those of the Chu State, in bright yellow.

Seeing this imperial edict, Yelu Han did not dare to reach out.

He couldn't understand why Yuwen Tuo was willing to let him go?

You know, he was the one who conspired with Yu Wenxu to murder the old Khan, and he was also the one who wanted to kill Yuwen Tuo and Hu Yanliang!

Seeing that Yelu Han still refused to stretch out his hand, Hu Yanliang sneered: "Yelu Han, don't let me look down on you! You don't even dare to take this?"

After a moment, Yelu Han stretched out his hand.

It wasn't because of Hu Yanliang's aggressive tactics, but because of his curiosity.

Is Yuwen Tuo really willing to let him go?

He took a deep breath and opened the edict.

I saw that it was written clearly that he was made the general of Zhenbei, and he immediately went to Yanzhou, which bordered Yan State. From then on, no one could enter the royal court without an imperial edict.

It's equivalent to spending the rest of his life in Yanzhou, a land of long sand.

But Yeluhan was not dissatisfied.

"The imperial decree will never be false." Hu Yanliang saw the complicated look in his eyes and said coolly, "Do you finally believe what I said this time?"

Hearing this, Yelu Han nodded solemnly: "I obey your order!"

He knelt on the ground, his eyes full of admiration for Yuwen Tuo: "I will definitely live up to Khan's trust!"

Yu Wenxu hurt him too deeply, and he had no hope in Yu Wenxu.

Since Yuwen Tuo is willing to use him again, he will definitely not exterminate the Yelu clan.

In order to protect the Yelu clan and prevent him from becoming a sinner in the clan, even if he had to be cut into pieces, he would be willing to do it, let alone just go to the border to guard!

Yeluhan was so understanding, which actually made Hu Yanliang feel a lot better.

Although he was the one who recommended Yeluhan, he was very worried before Yeluhan nodded, fearing that Yeluhan would still be as arrogant and arrogant as before, and if he was unhappy, he would commit suicide and follow Yuwenxu.

fine!Fortunately, Yu Wenxu moved faster than them!Before he found Yeluhan, the killers sent by Yu Wenxu had already been dispatched twice, completely making Yeluhan give up on him.

Thinking of this, the beard at the corner of Hu Yanliang's mouth curled up. He felt very good, especially at such a critical moment, the smile in his eyes was even more obvious.

"It's better to do things quickly rather than later. After you get the imperial edict, you can take people to Yanzhou."

Hu Yanliang said: "But you must remember that Yanzhou borders Yan State, and all the people in Yan State who have contact with you have been dealt with."

"You should be careful." Hu Yanliang said meaningfully, "Don't be fooled again."

Hearing this, a look of obvious embarrassment flashed across Yeluhan's eyes.

He nodded and said solemnly: "I have all remembered it."

After saying that, Yeluhan got on his horse.

He looked at the many wounded soldiers under his command and turned his eyes to Hu Yanliang with some hesitation.

Hu Yanliang saw his intention at a glance, and waved his hand: "Don't worry, I will take them back for you."

When Yelu Han was about to leave, he suddenly asked: "Then the Huns..."

Seeing the uneasiness in Yeluhan's eyes, Hu Yanliang smiled bitterly: "Now that we are in this situation, you should stop having those sweet dreams."

"Now we are already a vassal state of the Chu State. In a few months, before the Chu State's New Year's Eve, our tribute envoys will set off, trying to deliver things before the Chu State's New Year's Eve."

Hearing this, Yeluhan said guiltily: "If it weren't for me and Yu Wenxu..."

"Even without you..." Hu Yanliang said helplessly, "There will be others who will rebel. Even if we are in peace all the time, Chu's army will break through the royal city sooner or later."

"Compared to the destruction of the country and the destruction of the family, the current situation is not bad." Hu Yanliang laughed at himself, "People can't always want everything."

Yeluhan slowly tightened the reins and wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't.

Seeing the look in Yeluhan's eyes, Hu Yanliang did not continue speaking. Instead, he patted Yeluhan on the shoulder and said, "You can go. Khan and I will take care of the rest."

Yelu Han nodded, pulled the reins, and rode away from here.

Looking at Yelu Han's retreating back, his confidant stepped forward cautiously: "Isn't Khan worried that he will rebel again?"

"Yelu Han is not a kind person." A confidant reminded him, "Even if we are short of people, we shouldn't let him guard the border, right?"

Hearing this, Hu Yanliang snorted coldly: "Is it a good job for you to be stationed at the border?"

"Aren't my subordinates worried that he will have those thoughts again after he holds the military power..." The confidant said cautiously, "After all, such a person with an army can be considered a huge hidden danger."

Hu Yanliang waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. The Khan doesn't have such a good heart and would let him take charge of a powerful army."

"Today, there are only a few remaining soldiers in Yanzhou, and the rest have died in the hands of the Yan army." Hu Yanliang sighed, "Let him pass just to keep Yanzhou still under our control. If the Yan state is serious Send troops, his life..."

At this point, there was no need for him to explain anymore. The confidant understood everything and suddenly realized: "That's it!"

After talking to his cronies, Hu Yanliang hurried back to the royal city.

When the royal city was in a state of ruin, when Yu Wenxu died, the entire royal court was in chaos. Fortunately, the private soldiers raised by the Huyan clan in the clan's territory appeared in time and suppressed all the chaos.

Those families who took advantage of the chaos and wanted to support themselves with troops were all suppressed by Yuwen Tuo's ruthless tactics. For a time, the royal city flowed with blood, and even the moat was dyed red.

By the time Hu Yanliang returned to the royal city, everything had settled and the entire royal city had a completely new look. If it weren't for the lack of many pedestrians on the road, Hu Yanliang would have thought that he had returned to the heyday of the Xiongnu.

As soon as he got off his horse, he hurried to Chongde Hall.

The middle hall where Khan originally handled political affairs has been renamed by him.

Hu Yanliang's eyes were complicated when he saw the word Chongde.

"Why does Khan use these two words?" Hu Yanliang whispered, "Isn't this what Chu people admire most? Even if we are a vassal state of Chu, we shouldn't imitate Chu in everything!"

"What a mouthful!" Hu Yanliang complained.

After hearing this, Yuwen Tuo shook his head: "This is just a cover-up. Since it has become a vassal state of Chu State, it should make some appearances. It's just a name on the left and right, and it won't affect anything."

After saying that, he stared at Hu Yanliang and asked, "How did things go?"

"Yelühan has already set off for Yanzhou. Counting the days, he should arrive in Yanzhou as well." Hu Yanliang said hurriedly.

Yuwen Tuo nodded noncommittally, but his eyes were always fixed on Hu Yanliang. Obviously, this was not the answer he wanted.

Hu Yanliang was stunned under his gaze.

But soon, Hu Yanliang suddenly realized.

"Are you thinking about Princess Changning?" Hu Yanliang couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he mentioned this name, "My speed is already very fast, but I still haven't seen any trace of the Chu team."

Hearing this, Yuwen Tuo just nodded slightly and had no other emotions.

But in Hu Yanliang's eyes, Yuwen Tuo's move was worth 300 taels of silver.

He sighed and comforted Yuwen Tuo in the tone of an elder: "I know that the princess is a rare beauty and a smart woman that is rare in the world."

"But she is in love with the prince of Chu, and she will definitely not abandon him to join the Huns." Hu Yanliang paused, and then continued, "Besides, your throne is unstable now. What you really want to do now is not to miss someone." For those who are unlikely to come back, you should think carefully about which family’s daughter you should choose to enter the royal court.”

After saying that, Hu Yanliang fell silent and waited quietly for Yuwen Tuo's answer.

Yuwen Tuo's eyes were full of struggle, but before he could speak, Hu Yanliang seemed to be able to predict his thoughts and said: "Khan, for the sake of the throne that you finally got, you have to do this, there is no other choice. .”

"Uncle..." Yuwen Tuo said with difficulty, "But I don't know anything about men and women..."

"What those families want is your attitude." Hu Yanliang shook his head, "Whether you favor them or not, as long as you connect them to the royal court, it represents your attitude and they will be sincere. to assist you."

"Now is the time when everything needs to be restored. Without the help of these families, every step we take will be much more difficult."

After a moment, Yuwen Tuo closed his eyes and said with a trembling voice: "I understand what uncle said."

"That's all." His voice was faint, "Just take them all into the royal court."

Hu Yanliang saw that he had finally figured it out, and a slightly kind smile finally appeared on his face: "Your Highness, you will not regret what you did today."

While speaking, Hu Yanliang took out something from his arms with a smile on his face.

"This is what Yelu Han gave me before I entered the royal court."

Yuwen Tuo's thoughts were brought back a little. Staring at the rag on the table, Yuwen Tuo frowned and asked doubtfully: "What is this?"

"You can tell just by looking at it." Hu Yanliang said with a smile, "This is a good thing!"

After hearing what Hu Yanliang said, Yuwen Tuo became interested and carefully took the rag in his hand.

When he picked up a corner of the rag, several lines on the rag appeared before his eyes.

Hu Yanliang laughed so hard that his eyes almost disappeared: "Yelühan said that this is where Yu Wenxu hides salt!"

Hearing this, Yuwen Tuo's eyes burst out with dazzling light: "Seriously?"

"Ye Luhan was Yu Wenxu's most trusted person before, and his words cannot be false." Hu Yanliang shook his head, "It must be true!"

After Yuwen Tuo had this idea, he threw it away. His eyes were filled with brilliance and he said to Hu Yanliang: "Call Grandpa immediately, and we'll set off right away!"

As a country that cannot produce salt, the existence of salt is extremely important to the Xiongnu. No amount of salt is enough!
