Ma'am, is there someone out there?
Chapter 61
In the palace of the Huns, Shan Yu's study room was brightly lit.Yan Shi is approaching her eldest son, Prince Kenton step by step.
"Mother, this won't work!" Prince Kenton shook his head in panic, looking at his mother with fear in his heart.
Yan's eyes locked him like a chain: "You are 17 years old, it's time to make a decision. When your father was this age, he had already squeezed out his brother's power little by little by his own strength, and became the next Shanyu."
Prince Kenton resisted: "But father, he is still..."
"Shut up!" Yan suddenly yelled, interrupting Prince Kenton's words, "Your father was considered a hero when he was young. Now he is just a kid who is dazzled by beauty!"
Yan tidied up her beautiful sleeves and recalled that year: "When I entered the palace, I was fifteen years old, the most delicate and beautiful age. I don't know how many princes and nobles admired my beautiful face. My father is a Hungarian. One of the most valuable family elders, as his favorite, I was married into the palace with the most solemn etiquette."
Yan's eyes were full of nostalgia for the past, and suddenly showed a bit of hatred.
"Young couples don't necessarily stay together when they get old. In just a few years, your father has moved on and found a new favorite. Even when the war is serious, he always takes that love concubine with him. It's ridiculous, he doesn't even look at it, Since ancient times, how many of them went to the battlefield with beauties, didn't they lose a complete defeat?"
Yan Shi looked at Prince Kenton and said: "Your father never taught you this truth, so I will tell you. Those who achieve great things are not limited by the love of their children. It is rare to have the best of both worlds in the world. Only by giving up can you get it. Do you understand? "
Prince Kenton stammered and replied: "I understand!" He was only 17 years old, and he was afraid of both his father and his long-standing mother.
Yan Shi looked at her son and said: "It seems that I have raised you too softly."
"But mother, do you really want to do this? Otherwise, we should discuss it with a few veteran officials..." Kenton was still hesitant.Before Hulun Shanyu led the army to set off, he let go of the power and handed over the seal to him, and let him manage the government affairs of the country on his behalf, leaving only a few veteran officials to help him study government affairs.
Yanshi didn't speak, just put the letter of surrender on the table, and then looked at Kenton.
"Mother asks you, what do you think the chances of winning this battle are?"
Kenton bit the bullet and replied, "Thirty, thirty percent."
Yan Shi asked again: "Mother will ask you again, why did we fight against the Chen Dynasty?"
"Because of the sudden plague, a large number of cattle and sheep died, and there was not enough food."
"Yes, yes." Yan showed a hint of sneer, "Our country's cattle and sheep are dead, and we don't have enough food, so instead of finding solutions from ourselves, we only remember to get them from others, ha ha, isn't this the logic of robbers? "
"Mother!" Kenton exclaimed, no one had ever told Kenton this war like this.Everyone told Kenton that this is an act of sacrifice for the country, an honor, and a noble act!
Yanshi laughed and glanced at Prince Kenton: "Why are you making such a fuss? You are the future Chanyu of our Huns. Calm down."
"But do you really want to admit defeat?"
"Just wait, even if we don't sign this letter of surrender, news of the defeat will come back soon. It is for the benefit of the Hungarian people to admit defeat early. War is always ruthless. If it is not necessary, no one should The first to provoke. Regardless of the person who first started the war or the country being invaded, no one can benefit. Some people may benefit from it, but in the end it will always be the bottom people who suffer the most."
Yanshiyu said to Kenton earnestly, "Mother hopes that you can become a good king and truly consider your people. We Huns will not fall or perish, and we will rise again!"
"Sign it, and end this boundless war as soon as possible." Yan's cold words were colder than the wind and snow in the north, and Kenton seemed to see endless wind and frost in her eyes.
----
With a bang, countless snowstorms were blown up, and huge boulders rolled down, blocking the plank road.
All of a sudden, there was an uproar in the army.
"What should I do?" the captain asked anxiously, the way ahead was blocked.
Hu Lun Danyu's eyes glowed coldly, he took out an arrow from the quiver behind his back, aimed at Shen Qing who was standing on the valley, and shot straight out, the arrow was extremely fast, aiming at Shen Qing's chest and piercing in within a few breaths .Before Shen Qing could dodge, the arrow hit his chest but suddenly fell.
Hu Lun's eyes burst into sparks, and he stared at Shen Qing who was standing tall.
Shen picked up the arrow on the ground, shook it at Hu Lun a few times, then turned around and climbed down the hill in the other direction.
Shen Qing covered his chest, although it was fine, but it did hurt a little.He opened the front of his shirt and took a look at the bright yellow soft hedgehog he was wearing inside, it was still useful.The snow accumulated on this mountain was very thick, it was quite difficult to climb up and down, Shen Qing climbed down carefully, and when he arrived at the valley entrance, the army led by Lu Chen had already assembled and guarded the valley entrance.
"This is really a catch!" Zhao Zhuang laughed boldly, and he patted Chen Yi on the shoulder several times, "We arrived in time!"
Chen Yi was about to vomit blood when he was slapped by Zhao Zhuang's big palm.
"As soon as we left the Northwest Road, we encountered the Huns' supply camp. After intercepting their belongings, only a small group of people were left to bring the food and grass back, and the others hurried back and hurried back. Fortunately, they finally made it Come on, I didn't miss it." Chen Yi said with a smile, as if asking for credit.
However, Lu Chen glanced at him silently, facing Chen Yi with a black mask, which made him shudder.
"What's the matter, General, did I say something wrong again?" Chen Yi admitted his mistake with his head in his arms.
Zhao Zhuang was about to cry stupidly because of Chen Yi's Yumu brain. Zhao Zhuang pushed Chen Yi away and told him to look behind, and Chen Yi realized it later.I saw a snow-riding horse approaching from a distance, neither too fast nor too slow, and the man on the horse was dressed in green clothes, with a faintly romantic appearance.Before the poor and dull Chen Yi could react, he saw that Lu Chen had already moved, and stepped forward a few steps to the white horse.
Shen Qing learned how to ride a horse in the military camp these days, he is still not very good at it, and because he is in the snow, so he rides very slowly. In another scene, he is like a flower lover riding a big horse through the streets to enjoy the flowers.Lu Chen took the reins and stopped the horse, only then did Shen Qing jump off the horse.
As soon as he jumped off the horse, Lu Chen rushed over and hugged him tightly.
"What's wrong?" Shen Qing smiled.
Lu Chen shook his head.He let go of his hand, holding the horse with one hand and Shen Qing's hand with the other, and the two of them walked back slowly.Shen Qing raised his head and looked into the distance, and sure enough, he saw a group of spectators looking up at the sky and the ground.
Shen Qing pointed to the group of men: "They're all watching." The implication was that Lu Chen was holding him too tightly, and this was in front of tens of thousands of his subordinates.
Lu Chen didn't care: "Let them see." As he said that, his hands tightened.
"What happened?" Shen Qing asked again.
Lu Chen paused for a while before saying, "Zhao Ji is dead."
Shen Qing didn't make a sound, he knew that Lu Chen would continue talking.
"When I rescued her, she was in her teens, and she was only in her 20s when she died." Lu Chen said, looking at Shen Qing, "It's about your age."
"Life and death are really impermanent." Lu Chen finally said.
Then neither of them spoke, and walked back to the barracks in silence.Shen Qing's face remained unmoved, but the hand held by Lu Chen scratched Lu Chen's palm a little.Itchy, but warm.Even if Shen Qing didn't say it, Lu Chen knew it was telling himself that he was always there.
When they walked back to the barracks, several generals coughed non-stop as if they were suffering from asthma. Shocked by the cold air on Lu Chen's body, they touched their hands and looked up at the sky and the earth.
They guarded the mouth of the valley, not planning to rush in at all, so they guarded the exit, boiled the frogs in warm water, and ground them slowly without any effort, that's what they wanted.
"Brothers, pack up, let's set up camp here tonight!" Zhao Zhuang passed on Lu Chen's intention.After a while, the tents were quickly set up one by one, and even the stoves were lit, ready to fire for dinner.
"What shall we eat today?" The soldiers slapped their bowls and chopsticks, grinning.
Shen Qing stood up and said loudly: "There's mutton! There's good wine! There's big sesame cakes!"
Shen Qing was hurt more than the others.He asked the Fire Head Army to set up a simple stove closest to the valley. When the fire was lit, the meat was stewed, sprinkled with salt and pepper powder, and the spicy and pungent smell spread everywhere.All of Chen Jun's soldiers were ready to move when they heard it, and the Huns naturally smelled it too.
smell good.Many men couldn't stand it any longer, their stomachs growled.
They didn't have much food left, only a few cold and hard pancakes left on their bodies.A few who couldn't keep the military discipline sneaked away to peek at Chen Jun's stewed meat in a big pot.
Shen Qing could see those men.In this snow-covered valley, there is not even a place to hide, and no one can hide.Shen Qing greeted a few times: "Hey, can you understand Chinese?"
"What's the matter?" Someone hesitated for a long time before answering.When the military was not tense, the Chen people and the Huns often intermarried, and there were not many Huns who were familiar with Chinese.
It's good to understand.Shen Qing picked up a large spoon and scooped out a large spoonful of meat. As soon as he scooped it out of the pot, there was steaming steam. Shen Qing tasted it twice, raised the large spoon, and asked the Hun soldiers: "Do you want to eat?"
eat?The Xiongnu soldier licked his lips, feeling very greedy, just looking at it from afar, he seemed to really smell the smell of meat from the big spoon Shen Qing held in his hand.
"Can I eat it?" The Xiongnu soldier held back his answer, but couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted back.
Shen Qing shook, picked up the bowl, and took out a bowl first: "You can eat if you want, you surrender!"
Hearing this answer, the Hun man knew that he couldn't eat it, so he really admitted defeat.Even if he wanted to, Shan Yu would definitely agree.Biting the cold and hard pancakes, the Xiongnu soldiers silently tightened their belts as they watched the steaming meat cooked in a cauldron by Chen Jun.It's good to have pancakes. Tomorrow, they won't even be able to eat the pancakes they dislike.
The captain shook his head, he had already seen some soldiers who couldn't help running over to watch.
"Why don't we kill a few horses and cook them to eat?" A young general suggested, "Or kill my horses first."
The young general said, stroking the back of the horse comfortingly. As a soldier, the horse is their best partner. No one will kill the horse with his own hands unless it is absolutely necessary.
"No." Shan Yu refused.Any horse is more important than a person in the army. , and even if you want to kill, you should start with him.
The Huns were still struggling with the lack of food here, and Shen Qing had already returned to Lu Chen with a bowl of broth.Lu Chen didn't like to eat mutton, but at this time, he was extremely picky.Didn't you see that brother over there can't even eat meat scraps?
"Eat it, this will be warm after eating." Shen Qing put the bowl into Lu Chen's hand, seeing Lu Chen hesitated for a moment, he added, "I stewed this pot separately."
After Shen Qing finished speaking, Lu Chen put down his chopsticks.
Shen Qing wiped his sweat, why did he feel that Lu Chen was more picky eaters than before.
"Mother, this won't work!" Prince Kenton shook his head in panic, looking at his mother with fear in his heart.
Yan's eyes locked him like a chain: "You are 17 years old, it's time to make a decision. When your father was this age, he had already squeezed out his brother's power little by little by his own strength, and became the next Shanyu."
