Hanbo

Chapter 315 If it works, it's a great achievement! (4.1K)

"what?"

Zhao Chongguo frowned and looked at the scout in front of him with some doubts.

The scout had to repeat it again:
"General, there are Hun envoys waiting ahead."

Zhao Chongguo was a little confused. What is the purpose of the Huns envoy coming at this time?
And they are still on their marching road, so they obviously know their arrival!

After Zhao Chongguo thought for a while, he ordered:

"Bring it over and see you."

After the scouts had arrived, he ordered his personal guards:

"Send someone to tell Shangguan Jie, and let him be more vigilant in the future."

Zhao Chongguo also knew that this operation was a very risky thing. He was afraid of being ambushed on the road, so he opened the distance between the first and second parts.

Even if they suffer heavy losses from an ambush, the entire army will not be wiped out, and the two armies are each other's horns, which is safer.

After a while, the Huns envoy was brought before Zhao Chongguo, who was the personal guard of King Youguli.

Sitting on the horse, Zhao Chongguo lowered his head and glanced at him, probably knowing something in his mind.

From his point of view, this person is a general. After entering, he lowered his head, but peeking at him from time to time, it seems that he is not a peaceful master.

"What happened?"

General Qin Wei looked at Zhao Chongguo, and then asked suspiciously:
"Are you the champion?"

Zhao Chongguo looked him up and down, and didn't understand why he asked this, but he still replied:
"No, that's my master."

"I don't think so. I heard that the champion Hou is a young man of sixteen or seventeen. You are so old."

Hearing the muttering of General Qinwei, he was a little speechless, he didn't think how old he was, he was still very young, okay!

He also felt a little impatient in his heart, and he suspected that this guy was just here to delay time.

"Ask again, what's the matter?"

The personal guard shook his head and waved his hands:

"I can't tell you that, I have to talk to Champion Hou."

Zhao Chongguo was very impatient with this big fool, but he was also afraid of bad things, so he asked:
"My lord is not here, so tell me anything, will you tell me?"

The general of the personal guard shook his head decisively.

"Come on, drag me out, break my legs, and throw it to the side of the road."

Zhao Chongguo still abides by the rule of the two armies fighting and not beheading envoys. Although the Huns don't often follow this rule, we are different from them.

Just break the messenger's leg and throw it to the side of the road.

More than a dozen soldiers rushed in and went straight to the general guard, but he was a little flustered when he saw this scene, and shouted while moving to avoid:

"What, what is this for?"

More than a dozen soldiers rushed over, pressed the personal guard general to the ground, dragged him and prepared to leave.

"I said, I said."

Zhao Chongguo could hear some simple Hun language. Although his tone was a little accented compared to the central Xiongnu, he still understood it. After all, it was relatively simple.

But he pretended not to understand, and asked the translator next to him:

"what did he say?"

Translate the slow salute:
"Back to the general, this person is ready to speak."

"Really?"

"Yes, General."

"He was pretty tough just now, didn't he want to say it?"

"Well, he may have softened again and changed his mind."

Zhao Chongguo looked at the guard general who was about to be carried away with his mouth covered and whimpering, and then he said:
"Wait, let go."

As soon as the soldiers let go, the general guard stood up and ran not far from Zhao Chongguo, looking at the soldiers with lingering fear, one of them bared his teeth when he saw him looking over, which startled the general guard, and hurriedly Turned.

Zhao Chongguo wanted to laugh when he saw this scene, but he didn't expect this man to be tall and burly, and he also had a tough look on him, and he didn't expect him to be so timid.

"Speak!"

"My king is ready to surrender."

Zhao Chongguo nodded after listening to the translator's words, then he was taken aback after reacting, and asked quickly:

"What did you say?"

The translation is also a bit stunned:

"I didn't say it, he said it, he said his king was going to surrender!"

Zhao Chongguo scratched his head, thought for a while and said:

"Ask him, who is his king!"

When General Qin Wei heard this, he straightened his chest and said something proudly. Zhao Chongguo could understand it without translation.

Because he was talking about King Youguli.

Zhao Chongguo sneered when he heard it:
"Heh, King Youguli wants to surrender? Are you lying to ghosts?"

After the original translation, General Qin Wei saw that Zhao Chongguo didn't believe it, so he was in a hurry:

"My king is really going to surrender to the champion, the soldiers and horses of the tribes have been controlled by us, and the leaders of the tribes are the same.

My king said that he would give these people to Champion Hou as a gift. "

After listening to his explanation, Zhao Chongguo still didn't believe it, but what if it was true, his eyes flickered, and he looked suspiciously at General Qin Wei:

"Why did your king surrender, and why didn't you say it directly when you came in just now?"

When General Qinwei heard his words, he was also a little puzzled, because he didn't know why King Youguli wanted to surrender, he just obeyed the order, as for why he came in and didn't say anything...

"My king told me to find the champion, and then report the news to the champion."

Zhao Chongguo looked at him with blazing eyes, and tentatively asked with an interested look:

"Then you didn't violate the military order?"

General Qin Wei frowned and scratched his head:

"It doesn't count. I just thought about it. My king seems to be talking about the champion Hou's department."

Zhao Chongguo was [-]% certain about the news in his heart, because he found that the person in front of him was really a fool.

In fact, what King Youguli said was that he asked the general of the personal guard to pass the news of his surrender to the champion.

Because he knew that as long as it was passed on to the soldiers and horses under the command of the champion, it would be equivalent to the champion knowing.

But in the simple head of the personal guard general, what he heard was pass to the champion, and he didn't even think of the last two words in the panic just now.

The last two words were just remembered.

In fact, what General Qinwei didn't know was that if it wasn't for the fact that this matter was too critical, the other King Youguli wouldn't have sent this idiot over if he didn't feel at ease.

King Youguli was still afraid that something bad would happen to him, and it was really bad.

Zhao Chongguo is very calm at this moment, he is thinking about the possibility of this matter, if it is true, then needless to say, it is a great thing.

If it is false, then he is in danger at this moment, and his coming can be predicted, this King Youguli is definitely not a simple person, what if there is an ambush?
So he said to the personal guard general:

"Go back and tell King Youguli that if you want to surrender, let him come to see me in person, otherwise I won't believe you."

The general guard wanted to say something, but Zhao Chongguo waved his hand and was taken out by the waiting soldiers.

After the general guard left, Zhao Chongguo got off his horse, walked around thinking about something while touching his chin, raised his head after a while and quickly told the guard:
"Send an order to Zhenxi No. [-], and ask Shangguan Jie to come immediately."

"promise."

He needs someone to discuss it now, and here, only Shangguan Jie can discuss it with him.

And don't think Shangguan Jie is stupid just because he looks like a fierce general, he is actually very smart.

However, Zhao Chongguo is the type of great wisdom and foolishness, while Shangguan Jie is a type of cleverness. There are also great cleverness, but not many, basically they are all clever.

"Wait for the scout battalion to investigate the surrounding situation and ask them to report the situation to me immediately."

The scouts under Huo Shan's command had always had a wide range of scouts. When the scouts came back, he had a general understanding of the situation.

If there is something wrong, he is ready to set off ahead of time, regardless of whether you surrender or not, he will directly rush to your camp.

As for the retreat, it has come to this point, and he has never had this idea in his heart.

Although he is calm and not as passionate as Li Ling, but that is only compared to Li Ling, if the reward is too great, he will take the risk.

After finishing the order, Zhao Chongguo raised his head and shouted:
"Little black?"

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Hei flew over from nowhere and landed on his saddle. Zhao Chongguo immediately said:
"Xiao Hei, can you help me check the surrounding area to see if there are soldiers and horses in other places? Is it chaotic?"

Xiao Hei made a cooing sound, then fluttered his wings and flew high, then flew higher and higher and disappeared.

After Xiao Hei left, Zhao Chongguo grabbed two handfuls of stones on the side of the road, found a flat ground, arranged them neatly according to the general deployment of the Huns' military camp, and threw them together.

After waiting for a while, Shangguan Jie hadn't arrived, and Xiao Hei hadn't come back yet, but the scouts arrived first.

"General, within 35 miles of the surrounding area, there is no enemy's whereabouts, except for the horseshoe prints of the Huns' rout."

Zhao Chongguo breathed a sigh of relief:

"Okay, thank you, let the soldiers take a good rest after changing defenses."

There are no soldiers and horses around, so he can feel more at ease, because he is much safer.

Thirty-five miles is not a short distance. When the enemy appears, scouts will find it immediately. He can retreat calmly with the soldiers or horses, or bypass the soldiers and horses and attack the Huns' camp directly.

After waiting for a while, Xiao Heifei came back, and after a few simple questions, he confirmed that there were no soldiers and horses in the surrounding hundred miles except the Huns camp, and the smile appeared on Zhao Chongguo's face.

Then he pointed to two piles of stones on the ground and asked about the situation of the Xiongnu camp about eighty miles to the northwest.

Xiao Hei first tapped the neatly arranged pile on the left with his head, and when Zhao Chongguo frowned seeing this action, Xiao Hei grabbed the pile of rocks next to him and threw them into the middle of the neatly arranged pile of stones.

Zhao Chongguo didn't understand, although he watched Huo Shan and Xiao Hei communicate a lot, he also learned a little bit.

But he doesn't have the kind of tacit understanding between Huo Shan and Xiao Hei, who can understand what it means with just one move.

When Xiao Hei saw that Zhao Chongguo didn't understand, he grunted dissatisfiedly, stretched out his wings, and carefully gathered the pile of rocks in the middle together with his wing feathers.

After Zhao Chongguo wrinkled his face and scratched the back of his neck and thought hard for a while, suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and he seemed to understand a little bit.

He stretched out his hand, circled above the neatly arranged stone piles, and asked hastily:
"You mean that they are neatly arranged around, but there are many people gathered in the middle."

Finally, Zhao Chongguo clicked on the middle again, and then looked at Xiao Hei expectantly.

And Xiao Hei understood, and gave his own response, he nodded.

After seeing Xiao Hei nodding, Zhao Chongguo sat down on the ground with a dazed expression.

When Shangguan Jie came over, he only saw Zhao Chongguo sitting on the ground in the middle, surrounded by a group of personal guards, but he didn't see Xiao Hei.

He thought something happened to Zhao Chongguo, he was shocked, and ran over quickly, shouting:
"What's the matter, what's the matter, what happened?"

Only then did the shout wake up the thoughtful Zhao Chongguo.

Shangguan Jie rushed over and half knelt on the ground, looking nervously at Zhao Chongguo:

"It's not hurt, is it sick?"

Zhao Chongguo patted his hand away, then grabbed Shangguan Jie's shoulder, and said solemnly:

"The two of us may have made a great contribution, enough to be named a marquis, and enough to be famous in history!"

Shangguan Jie still looked at Zhao Chongguo worriedly. He stretched out his hand and touched Zhao Chongguo's head, muttering to himself:
"Could it be that I've been tired these days, thinking too much and burning my brain out?"

While muttering, Shangguan Jie cast questioning glances at the surrounding guards, and then he saw a group of people holding back their laughter.

Zhao Chongguo was speechless in his heart, he raised his hand and slapped Shangguan Jie on the back of the head, scolding with a smile:

"You just burned your head!"

Then he stood up and patted the dirt on his buttocks.

Shangguan Jie also stood up and looked at Zhao Chongguo carefully.

Zhao Chongguo said angrily:

"Look at what?"

Shangguan Jie breathed a sigh of relief:

"It's okay, it's okay!"

The Lord will have an accident, that is a big deal, especially at such a critical moment.

Moreover, these generals under Huo Shan's command have a very good relationship.

After confirming that Zhao Chongguo was fine, Shangguan Jie suddenly thought of the great achievement Zhao Chongguo said:
"What is the great achievement you just said?"

Zhao Chongguo glanced at Shangguan Jie, then put his arm around his shoulder, and said solemnly:

"I'm [-]% sure that the Huns are ready to surrender."

Shangguan Jie immediately stared wide-eyed and froze on the spot. After realizing it, he quickly asked in a trembling voice:

"real or fake?"

Zhao Chongguo nodded with a serious face:
"I'm [-]% sure!"

Shangguan Jie's excited lips trembled. This is not a trivial matter, it is a huge event.

If this matter is really done, let alone the two of them are named Liehou, it will not be a problem to have two small family Liehou.

Shangguan Jie then asked what was going on, and Zhao Chongguo told him exactly what he had learned.

After Shangguan Jie listened to it, he finally believed it in his heart.

"Since it's almost confirmed, why don't you hurry up and report the news to the lord?"

But Zhao Chongguo shook his head:

"No, you can't report it to the lord. Although we have a [-]% possibility, but this kind of thing has too many variables, and it may become [-]% in an instant.

So I want to confirm it and report it to the lord, otherwise we will be guilty of lying about the military situation and will be beheaded. "

Although Shangguan Jie felt that something was wrong, he still thought it would be better to report to the past first. Xiao Hei is here, and it only takes less than an hour to go back and forth, but he still asked:
"What now?"

"I think we should find a way to meet King Youguli first, and after confirming the news, we will inform the lord whether to accept or not, or if there are other arrangements, and ask what to do."

Shangguan Jie thought for a while, this is indeed the safest way, and it won't waste much time. It is estimated that it will be confirmed today, so he also nodded:
"That's fine, let's do it!"
