When Gao Shun heard what Lu Yi said, he immediately waved his hand.
Two soldiers trapped in the camp captured Zuoxian Wang Liu Bao and escorted him away.
Others beheaded the Hun envoys and swept the halls.
Lu Yi, Nangong Yan, Shi Huan, Cai Yan and others left the hall and came to the garden.
The group came to the stone pavilion in the garden and sat down.
Cai Yan sat opposite Lu Yi, a little nervous that his hands were shaking.
This was the first time she had seen someone dare to do such a cruel thing to people like the Huns.
Historically, she had only seen the Huns treat the Han people like this.
The imperial court and its princes have always been tolerant of the Xiongnu.
Over the years, she had devoted herself to the Huns and had seen too much.
The Huns burned, killed and looted everywhere.
The imperial court and its princes just turned a blind eye to this matter.
Seeing Cai Yan's body trembling slightly, Lu Yi smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. Now, you are safe. From now on, you don't have to go back to the Huns, just go back to your family!"
"I remember, you have a younger sister, she seems to be in Mount Tai?"
"Mount Taishan is already within the territory of Wu State."
"In the past two years, things have calmed down. There are no civil strife and no bandits."
"However, before you set off, Gu will still send someone to take you there."
“Don’t worry about the road.”
After hearing what Lu Yi said, Cai Yan raised his head, suppressed a trace of panic in his heart, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Lu Yi laughed indifferently and said to Shi Huan, who was sitting next to him: "Old Shi, please arrange a room for Miss Cai to rest in. Tomorrow, let two soldiers drive a carriage and send her to Mount Tai to find her sister."
Lao Shi is what Lu Yi has called Shi Huan in the past two years.
After all, Zhu Ran was already married and had children.
Shi Huan, Zhu Ran's biological father, is indeed older.
Shi Huan responded, stood up, and made a gesture of invitation towards Cai Yan.
Cai Yan looked at Lu Yi.
Lu Yi nodded towards her.
Cai Yan then stood up and followed Shi Huan away.
Shi Huan took Cai Yan to a room in the west wing of the government office, and said apologetically: "There are no servants here, only us rough guys, so there is no one to serve, so I ask Miss Cai to take care of me."
Cai Yan asked curiously: "Are there no women in the city? The king is here, so it should be natural for him to arrest a few, right?"
Shi Huan laughed and said: "Miss Cai doesn't understand our King of Wu. Our King of Wu puts benevolence first and will never force the people to do these things."
"After Miss Cai comes back, you will gradually know."
"Moreover, the people in the city have now been cleared out."
"Because the Huns may unite with Bingzhou, and war may break out here, so King Wu asked soldiers to escort all the people stranded in the city to leave Chang'an and go south to Wancheng, Xudu and other places for resettlement."
Cai Yan was a little surprised and said: "If we send all the people away, then when the enemy attacks the city, won't we need the help of the people to defend the city?"
Shi Huan laughed.
Cai Yan looked embarrassed.
Shi Huan laughed for a while and then said: "Miss Cai, don't get me wrong, I'm not laughing at you, I just feel that Miss Cai really doesn't understand our country of Wu."
"Since we, the King of Wu, took over as the master of Jiangdong, we have never involved the common people in wars."
"We were weak before and didn't need it."
"It's even less necessary now."
"We, the Wu State, have great strength and are not afraid of anyone."
Cai Yan was very surprised and said: "I was in the Huns before, and I have never heard of Wu."
Shi Huan said seriously: "Because, we have been south of Shouchun and Xuzhou before."
"It was this year that the Liang Kingdom surrendered, and our Wu Kingdom took over the major cities in the Liang Kingdom, and then came into contact with the Xiongnu."
"In a word, Miss Cai, don't worry."
"You have returned to your homeland."
"From now on, you will be safe."
Cai Yan hummed.
Shi Huan then said: "Then, Miss Cai, take a rest early. I will have someone bring you dinner later."
Cai Yan saluted Shi Huan and watched Shi Huan leave.
Pingyang City.
The Huns’ base camp.
At this time, the government office.
Huchuquan, the Xiongnu Chanyu, was sitting in the hall.
In his hand he held a piece of writing paper.
In front of him, there was a wooden box.
Inside the wooden box were heads.
One of them, was it not King Youxian Qubei, or who was it?
After Hu Chuquan read the content on the letter, his eyes fell on the head of King Youxian Qubei. He punched the desk in front of him and roared: "Ah! I'm so angry! King Wu bullies people too much." ! This is too much!"
In the hall, several generals were silent.
Huchuquan turned around several times before looking at the generals. His eyes were bloodshot and he shouted: "Dead people? Are they all dead? Didn't you see me angry? Didn't any of you ask what happened?"
Pointing at the heads of You Xian Wang Qubei and others in the wooden box, Hu Chuquan said with a trembling voice: "Can't you see who those are? Can't you see?"
"Our Xiongnu men were massacred by the Wu people!"
"Not one of the more than 30,000 people that King Youxian brought out survived!"
"The King of Wu also ordered me to go to Chang'an in person and ask for his surrender."
"What a shame!"
"What a disgrace!"
"Not to mention that the Han Dynasty is now falling apart and in chaos. No princes have the strength of the Han Dynasty."
"Even the big men back then didn't dare to be so arrogant and domineering towards us!"
"More than 30,000 people!"
"Leave no one behind!"
"How brave!"
"How brave!"
"That bastard King Wu, doesn't he really think that the Huns are afraid of him?"
"We were afraid of Yuan Shao, we were afraid of Cao Cao, but never were we afraid of him, the King of Wu!"
"Say something!"
"Give me your advice!"
Seeing that these big men were still motionless, Hu Chuquan kicked one of them to the ground.
At this moment, a middle-aged scholar who looked like a Han man walked in from the outside and said with a smile: "Hu Chu Dan, why are you so angry?"
The anger on Hu Chuquan's face quickly calmed down.
Seeing the middle-aged scribe walking over, Hu Chuquan said angrily: "Sir, you are here! If you don't come, I will really go crazy!"
The middle-aged scribe's surname is Sun, given name is Yan, and courtesy name is Shuran. He is from Le'an and is a disciple of Zheng Xuan, a famous scholar.
Hu Chuquan led his army to attack Cao Cao before, but was defeated by Cao Cao. He had no place to stay. Sun Yan came to him and asked him to cross the river and rush to the east of Hedong. He used Pingyang as his base camp and made friends everywhere.
Sure enough, in these years, although the Han Dynasty was fighting all over the country.
However, there has been no fighting near Pingyang.
In recent years, the Huns have also continued to rely on capturing Han women and babies to rapidly increase their population.
Before, Cao Cao defeated Wu and surrendered to Wu. It was Sun Yan who suggested to Huchuquan that he ask for surrender.
At this time, Hu Chuquan was quite depressed when he saw Sun Yan. He pointed at the head in the wooden box and said, "Look! I listened to your suggestion and asked Wu to surrender."
"But this is how Wu Guo responded to me."
Putting the letter directly into Sun Yan's hand, Hu Chuquan said angrily: "Look at this again, the letter from Tai Shici who is in Chang'an!"
"It's full of threats!"
"Look at this, I, the Xiongnu, have no other way out except surrendering to Wu and becoming a slave!"
"You still want me to go to Chang'an in person?"
"Are you kidding me?"
"If they take me into custody once I leave, what will happen to me, the Huns?"
Sun Yan opened the crumpled paper, glanced at the contents of the letter, and frowned slightly.
After a while, he looked at Huchuquan and said, "Huchudan, given the current situation, do you think our chances of Xiongnu still being as good as before?"
Huchuquan said with a cold face: "Nonsense! I, the Xiongnu, originated from Emperor Jie of the Xia Dynasty. We have existed for more than two thousand years. We have gone through countless hardships and have never given up hope! Now, we are just trapped here. Once we return to our homeland, we will The glory will surely be restored!”
Sun Yan breathed out and said: "Hu Chu Dan, I can tell you clearly that this is impossible."
Huchuquan glared angrily.
Sun Yan was not afraid and continued: "Hu Chu Dan, you should know that I confide in you."
"You also know how much I helped the Huns."
"Do I need to lie to you?"
"The situation is different now."
"In the past few years, Yuan Shao of Zhao State has been extremely stupid. After defeating Gongsun Zan, he actually missed the opportunity to let Cao Cao and the King of Wu fight each other. Later, he went out to fight in person and was defeated by the King of Wu."
"After that, he even hunkered down in Hebei, watching helplessly as the state of Wu recuperated and became stronger step by step."
"Now, in the territory of Wu State, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, the people are abundant, and the soldiers are working together."
"The bandits will be eliminated within the territory, and merchants will be able to come and go freely."
"This situation has already indicated that Wu will definitely dominate the world."
"Recently, my master also wrote a letter and analyzed the current situation with me, so I asked Hu Chudan to ask the King of Wu for surrender."
"Now, let the Xiongnu integrate into the new dynasty, and Huchudan will start from a high-ranking official with a good salary. There may not be opportunities in the future for you and your descendants to control the world."
Shaking the paper in his hand, he glanced at the heads in the wooden box and said: "The content on this letter, as well as the heads of King Youxian and his generals, don't they just confirm my judgment that the Wu Kingdom is extremely powerful? ?”
"King Wu has enough confidence, that's why he is so tough."
"Hu Chudan, please control your temper now and go to Chang'an in person. Can King Wu really kill you?"
"Once he takes action against you, Hu Chu Dan, how will everyone in the world view him?"
"King Wu is not the kind of person without short-sightedness."
"I have analyzed King Wu with Hu Chudan before."
"He can reach this level from a branch of the Lu family in less than ten years. He is the chosen one."
"Believe me, not only the Xiongnu, but also the Zhao Kingdom will be gone in the future."
"Now seize the opportunity, Huchudan, while you still have the Xiongnu as your backing, and you can take refuge in the past. There is still a lot to be done in the future."
Hu Chuquan squinted his eyes and looked at Sun Yan with a sinister expression.
However, he did not have another attack.
He just kept pace.
Sun Yan has indeed helped him a lot over the years.
He can doubt others, but he will not doubt Sun Yan's intentions.
Just hand over the Huns.
To be honest, he was still scared.
At this moment, a big man walked quickly outside and said, "Report, Bingzhou Mu sent envoy Guo Yuan to ask for an audience!"
