"Old General, in my opinion, it's superfluous to worry about the Huns. Let's just gather the army and march to Beiping City. They're just a bunch of bastards. That's it."
"General Yu, this is the emperor's order! Mo Bucheng, do you want to resist the order?"
Prince Su's expression suddenly became gloomy, and the coercive force on his body suddenly made the beating Yu Pengji finally become calmer.
After entering the border town of Yizhou, Yu Pengji settled in Prince Su and talked about some things. After walking out of the house, his face immediately changed.
When he arrived outside the hospital, he waved his hand and immediately summoned one of his men to come over.
"Go and tell Mr. Yang in Qingdu what's going on here."
But his men didn't leave, which made Yu Pengji a little confused.
"What are you doing standing here? Go ahead!"
"General, where is the letter?"
Yu Pengji suddenly became angry and kicked the man.
"Fuck your grandma, if I can write, why would I need you?"
After his men left in despair, General Yu called a few more of his men.
"You guys, go ask the chef to make proper arrangements for tonight's dinner, including singing, dancing, and playing music, everything!"
"Old General Liu Yu is an old minister of my court. When he was in glory, I didn't even grow up. Today! I must make him happy. When he gets to our Yizhou, just two words, arrange it!"
...
Now, ten days have passed. The Xiongnu outside Beiping Pass not only did not retreat, but actually got closer.
Such a situation could not help but make Liu Yin feel more and more worried.
He had even made observations. If Liu Qi made a mistake in judgment, he would quickly take his guards and escape through the small door. He could not stay here and die.
In fact, not only Liu Yin was worried, but also the generals at Beiping Pass, as well as Wood and others, were all worried.
So far, the Xiongnu army is less than ten miles away from Beiping City. You can see it clearly at a glance.
Listening to the sound of their drums every day, there is always a possibility that they may march at any time.
However, Liu Qi acted like nothing happened, sitting on the tower all day long, either drinking or sleeping, and did not take the Huns seriously at all.
Finally, it was the fourteenth day.
"Your Highness is not well! The Huns army has begun to move again."
Liu Qi rubbed his hazy eyes and slowly walked towards the city wall.
Whirring whirring!
I saw the Xiongnu army, arranged in order, slowly approaching Beiping City.
Facing such a battle, the soldiers guarding the entire wall were all frightened. What's more, the hands holding the crossbows began to tremble uncontrollably.
Wood raised his hand and immediately ordered the entire army to prepare for battle.
"General Wu, what do you want to do?"
When asked by the prince, Wood was slightly startled.
"Of course we are preparing for war, Your Highness, can't you see? The Huns can't bear it any longer. They are going to take action."
But Liu Qi shook his head and said indifferently.
"Let's take a look first and then talk. There's no rush."
However, what they didn't notice was that at this moment, Liu Yin had already walked under the city wall.
As he walked, he was still mumbling quietly.
"Fuck, if you die, you can just die. I won't accompany you all..."
The Huns were not moving very fast, but every time they got closer, they brought endless oppression.
This is not a few thousand people, nor tens of thousands, but an army of hundreds of thousands. Looking up, it looks like a vast ocean.
Although the prince has said that he needs to make further observations.
But Wood had already thought about it. As soon as the fighting started, he immediately sent people to escort the prince out of the city from the rear.
If the prince makes any mistakes, it will seriously shake the morale of the army.
If such a prince with both political integrity and talent dies because of this, then Wood will be the biggest sinner in the dynasty!
However, just as he was thinking about it.
"Look, the Huns' army has stopped."
Wood took a quick look and really stopped. But the distance is very close. By visual inspection now, it should be only about five miles away.
Liu Qi laughed.
"I'm anxious. I'm waiting for Daqing to express my position."
Wood was puzzled and asked immediately.
"What do you mean, Your Highness? Could it be that you are waiting for me, Daqing, to pay them the compensation?"
Liu Qi smiled and shook his head.
"No, what the Huns want is just a step."
After finishing speaking, he immediately said to Zhao Wenhui beside him.
"Go quickly and prepare banknotes for me."
Wood was even more confused.
"Your Highness..."
This time, Liu Qi did not explain. After the pen, ink, paper and inkstone arrived, he began to write on it eloquently.
Everyone nearby could see it, and they were all surprised.
"Your Highness, how could you..."
The reason why everyone had such a reaction was because what Liu Qi wrote on it was all words to please the Huns, words to praise the Shanyu and their army.
In addition, he also promised that in the coming year, he, Liu Qi, would definitely go there in person and send generous gifts to the Xiongnu. Gold, silver and jewelry were all trivial matters, countless beauties, countless chariots and horses, and even weapons.
After finishing writing, Liu Qi breathed a sigh of relief, folded it into an envelope, and immediately asked the soldiers to hand it over to the Hun leader outside the city.
But just as the soldier was about to leave, he was stopped by Wood.
He looked at Liu Qi with an unkind expression.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing? I am a grand Qing Dynasty. When have I behaved like this before? How can I be so humble to the Huns? Isn't this obvious and making people laugh at us?"
"And those promises you made..."
Before Wood could finish speaking, Liu Qi grabbed his arm and laughed.
"General Wu, don't worry."
"As the saying goes, a little impatience will mess up a big plan. What I wrote like this is just to give them a step down. No matter how much I say, it is just fart. When the day comes, our army is ready, and we will use our strength to Talking to them, that’s the more meaningful thing.”
"But..."
Liu Qi knew that Wood felt that Daqing would be looked down upon by the Huns and humiliated.
"General Wood, don't worry. I am definitely the kind of person who has been wronged. I bow my head today in order to strike hard in the future. I promise you that it will not be long before I will let you see that the Huns How did you beg for mercy from me, Daqing!"
"And when that day comes, he will definitely be a hundred times, a thousand times more humble than I am today!!"
Seeing Liu Qi's resolute attitude, Wood swallowed hard, and finally slowly loosened his grip on the envelope, and handed it over to the soldier's hands with some helplessness.
Not only Wood, but also the faces of other generals were full of indignation.
From the founding of Daqing until now, there has never been such a low-profile thing done to a small Huns.
The words that the prince just wrote were really disgusting to read, making it difficult to sleep or eat well.
But Liu Qi didn't care what these people thought.
He stared blankly at the direction the messenger was leaving.
Isn't he angry? Of course I was angry that a huge country was forced into this state by a small tribal country.
But there is no way. If you want to completely solve the Xiongnu problem, you have to endure the temporary injustice in your heart. All these are done for the next big plan.
But what Liu Qi didn't know was that when he was painstakingly strategizing at Beiping Pass.
Outside Yizhou.
"Old General Liu, let's hurry up. If it's any later, I'm afraid the Huns will invade our northern border."
Sitting on the horse, listening to Yu Pengji's words beside him, Prince Su said nothing.
Since coming out of Yizhou, he has always felt very strange.
Why did news come from Beiping City in just one night that the Huns had begun to attack the city?
Logically speaking, even if the news comes, it should come from the north.
Besides, how do the people in Beiping City know that they are in Yizhou? Could it be that the emperor told him?
General Yu didn't explain these things, and he couldn't understand them either. It was only said that early in the morning, news was received that the Xiongnu army had begun to attack Beiping Pass.
Although I feel very strange and don't know what the situation is, I just hope that the prince will not be in danger.
