Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 257
The plan that was originally deployed was debunked by Hu Erhe, Xia Shengqing and Huang Chenyan looked at each other, feeling nervous.

"Why don't you talk anymore? Hmph, this general saw that you were cheating a long time ago, and just acted like he didn't know it, so he was talking with you. I didn't expect this general's conjecture to be true. If this general had just exchanged the talisman with you , I am afraid that this amulet has not reached the hands of this general, and your soldiers ambushing everywhere have already killed all my Hun soldiers!"

Thinking that he almost fell into the trick of the Dalai people, Hu Erhe was very angry, and the pressure on Xia Zijin with his hand became heavier.

Xia Zijin's shoulders were tightly pressed by Huerhe, she frowned in pain, and the painful expression never escaped Xia Shengqing's eyes.

"Hurhe, let Princess Mingzhu go! You should know that your Xiongnu army is now in our Dalai territory. If you dare to act rashly, if you make a mistake, you will die without a place to die."

His voice was stern, and he attacked Huerhe with three feet of freezing cold.

The current sudden situation was beyond his expectation. Although he had arranged the hidden guards to protect Xia Zijin in advance, he did not expect that Hu Erhe would suddenly attack before the formation. Xia Zijin has been captured.

But as long as he is still there, Xia Zijin will never be allowed to suffer the slightest harm.

I saw Xia Shengqing raised his hand slightly, and all the Dalai soldiers who had been serving inside and outside the pass all broke out and surrounded the few Xiongnu troops who were only there.

All the soldiers of Dalai held curved bows, quivered on their shoulders, half-filled their bows with both hands, ready to face the Xiongnu army, and only waited for the order to shoot.

"Okay...okay, you really deserve to be a wise, brave and resourceful Dalai man." Hu Erhe stood in front of the battle, clasping Xia Zijin tightly with one hand, and surrounded them with sharp eyes like scimitars. Dalai looked around among the soldiers and sneered a few times.

"It turns out that there are so many well-equipped Dalai soldiers hiding in front of and behind the battle, and this general didn't even notice it at all."

If he hadn't captured Xia Zijin as a hostage just now, then these well-equipped Dalai soldiers would probably treat the Huns like fish on a sword at this moment.

Hu Erhe is a hero of the generation of the Huns, who hates being deceived and calculated the most.Although he was trapped in the center of the formation at this time, he was not in a hurry, thinking about countermeasures quickly and calmly.

It's not like they don't have the slightest advantage right now, as long as Xia Zijin and General Jingwu are still in their hands, then the people of Dalai will not dare to act rashly, and they still have enough chips to turn defeat into victory!
Huang Chenyan commanded all the soldiers with his hands, and turned his eyebrows coldly at the Huns: "As long as I give an order, tens of thousands of Dalai elite soldiers will shoot sharp arrows together and shoot you Huns into sieves. You have to think about it. If you don’t release Princess Mingzhu and General Jingwu, your entire army will be wiped out! If you cooperate, we may be able to let you survive.”

When two armies fight, the winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit.

If the Xiongnu were really defeated, why would the Dalai people let them go?Not to mention for the peace of the people in the frontier, even for the sake of explaining to Emperor Ming, they would never allow the Huns to exist, lest they would have more nights and dreams, more worries and more troubles.

Huerhe knew this very well, so she would never believe Huang Chenyan's words.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, tightened his grip on Xia Zijin's shoulders slightly, and raised his hand to signal the Hun soldiers behind him to form a circle to resist the encirclement of the Dalai people.

"General I don't believe a word of what you said. I have learned about Miss Huang's ingenuity early in the morning. Don't make fun of this general as a fool again." Xia Zijin dragged him in front of him, then he pulled out the scimitar buckle of the Huns beside him and put it on Xia Zijin's neck.

"Hurhe... what are you going to do!" Xia Shengqing exclaimed, leaping forward to the front of the formation, he casually pulled out a saber from the waist of the soldier behind him, and pointed the sword point straight at Hu Erhe. erh.

"This general naturally wants to protect himself, not only to protect his own life, but also to protect the lives of the Huns. Look, doesn't this work? If you want to attack the Huns with a group attack, I'm afraid I made a wrong calculation. The situation is imminent, and this general has never been moral, if you act rashly, then the scimitar in this general's hand may be about to start a blood ring today!"

After all, Huerhe delivered the sharp thin blade to Xia Zijin's white and delicate neck.

Sharp anger burst out of Xia Shengqing's eyes, but because of Huerhe's actions, he didn't dare to act rashly, for fear of disturbing Huerhe and hurting Xia Zijin.

"Let your people put down all their swords and swords, and let this general and the Huns withdraw safely. Now, immediately!"

Huerhe yelled frantically, and the sharp sword in his hand wobbled unsteadily because of the loudness of the voice.Xia Shengqing and Huang Chenyan didn't dare to gamble, they knew what a vicious and desperado Hurhe was, if they didn't make a compromise now, Xia Zijin and General Jingwu would be in danger, so they could only endure the anger full of anger and order, let everyone Soldiers and generals unload their soldiers and armor.

"Very good, that's it." Huerhe laughed wildly twice, put away the scimitar in his hand and put it into the scabbard, then grabbed Xia Zijin's neck with his backhand and pushed it forward.

"It seems that this Dalai princess is much more useful than a shield. Today's enmity, the general and the Xiongnu will remember it in their hearts, just wait!"

While commanding the Huns to retreat, Huerhe put down his words viciously, "I said before that if you want to replace General Jingwu, you need to take five cities, but instead of keeping your promises, you cheated secretly. , intending to harm us Huns."

"Now you are reaping the consequences. This general has two hostages in his hands. If you want them both to be safe, you can exchange the seven cities of Dalai! Before the dawn of tomorrow, if this general cannot see the order, You just wait to collect the corpses of Jingwu Qiangjun and Princess Mingzhu."

The faces of the people in Dalai Kingdom were very ugly. This time, they did not rescue General Jingwu, but also took Princess Mingzhu in. They still couldn't decide the five cities by themselves, let alone the seven cities.

"Don't go too far..." Huang Chenyan gritted his teeth and stared at Huerhe, his fists creaking.

However, Hu Erhe was not afraid of Huang Chenyan's anger at all, he just snorted and flew over the horse's back, holding Xia Zijin in his hands without relaxing for a moment.

"Remember this general's words. Before dawn, this general must see your sincerity in front of the Xiongnu camp, otherwise... hum!"

"Let's go!" Huerhe raised his hand and whipped the horse's back, and the horse raised its hoof in pain and let out a long cry before jumping forward.

The army of the Huns followed closely behind, and walked away under the dust of the horseshoes, and the dust rolled up yellow sand all the way.The people of Dalai saw the Xiongnu army retreating, but they couldn't stop it one step at a time, so they were annoyed.

General Huai gritted his teeth, grabbed a rock from the ground and threw it on Huerhe's horse, cursing and uttering a dozen foul words.

"His grandma's... Huerhe is really not a man, he even threatened a weak woman!"

Everyone stood in the same place discouraged, with weapons and armor on their bodies, whimpering and mourning as they were beaten by the howling cold wind.

The Huns camped ten li away from Baiyun Pass.This place is different from Baiyun Pass. Although Baiyun Pass belongs to the border of Dalai and the urban area is very barren, but because Dalai supplies resources for a long time, there is no shortage of food.

But the place where the Huns set up their tents was actually a barren land. There was no grass growing here, and the ground was full of yellow sand and thick soil. The old and thin branches stood alone on the desert land, and there were a few dumb dogs on the broken ends of the branches. The screaming crow is very desolate.

Xia Zijin was imprisoned by the Huns in a temporary underground cell, where the climate was very dry because of its proximity to the desert.Xia Zijin hadn't drank a drop of water for nearly three hours, and being locked up in such a dry place again, she felt as if she had been evaporated all over her body, her throat was also hoarse, and her plump red lips turned rough.

She stood in the cell, touched the cell wall with both hands, knocked left and right, trying to find some way to escape, but the echoes she heard when she knocked on the wall were very thick, it seemed that the cell was not hollow, It is impossible to break through the wall and dig out the soil.

"Girl, are you the emperor's daughter?"

Xia Zijin was worrying that she couldn't find a way to escape, but she heard a hoarse and deep questioning voice from the next door.

Across a thick wall, it was General Jingwu who was imprisoned there.

Xia Zijin was a little puzzled. The Jingwu generals all the way along the way just now looked in a daze and didn't say a word.She thought that General Jingwu had been imprisoned by the Huns for more than ten years, and he was in a trance, but at this moment, General Jingwu spoke in a very clear tone, not at all like a confused person.

"The younger generation is Dalai's Pearl Princess. I thought the general was sick and mentally weak. Chen Yan and I were still worried. Now that we hear the general's clear words, we know that we are worrying too much. The general is safe. Chen Yan must be the most gratifying."

"Dust smoke..." General Jingwu murmured in a low voice, pondering these two words between his lips and tongue, and the figure on the city wall that was almost identical to his wife when he was young appeared in his mind.

That's him and her daughter... More than ten years ago, Huang Chenyan had only grown below his knees, and her petite and weak body lay on his calf and called him father.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, and Huang Chenyan has grown into a slim and handsome general, but his first wife is no longer in this world, and has been returned to the white loess of this world, without a trace with the wind.
