"Your Highness, an hour has passed."
The soldiers who delivered the message had already returned, but there was still no movement from the Xiongnu side.
Wood looked at the scene below the city worriedly.
When he thought about it, it was impossible for the Xiongnu to retreat easily because of the few words from the prince.
Not only Wood, but other generals also had this idea, but they just didn't say it because they were concerned about the identity of the prince.
But Liu Qi's state seemed very relaxed, leaning back on the chair leisurely, drinking and eating meat leisurely.
"Why are you so anxious? If you are leading the Xiongnu army, even though it's just a formality, but if you just send a letter, you will immediately retreat. Isn't it a bit embarrassing to save face?"
Wood didn't think so. He walked around the city wall for a long time, and from time to time he would tell the city defense troops to be prepared to defend against the invasion of the army.
Finally, another hour passed.
"Look, the Huns are coming!"
Liu Qi stood up slowly, as if everything was expected.
After sending out soldiers, they again received a message from the Huns.
After hearing what the soldiers said, all the generals were angry.
The Xiongnu actually said that since Daqing was willing to bow his head, Da Shanyu would no longer care about Daqing. By the coming year, gold, silver, jewelry, and beautiful slaves would be all ready and specially sent to the grassland.
Otherwise, the next time the Huns come over, they won’t be so easy to talk to.
"Damn it, when did I, Daqing, ever experience such a bird-like attitude!"
"The little Xiongnu can be so arrogant in front of me, Daqing. Your Highness, it is better to wait for the reinforcements to come. The general is willing to lead the troops to destroy them. If you cannot win, come and see me!"
...
The generals were cursing and indignant, and some of them wanted to rush out of the city right now and fight the Huns desperately.
Some generals even took out the weapons from their waists, looking very angry.
But Liu Qi smiled and waved his hand.
"Generals, I understand your feelings."
"You have also seen that in the peaceful days all year round, I, Daqing, have always treated the Xiongnu with great courtesy, but how have I spoiled the Huns? Now, they no longer take our country seriously."
“Is this still the all-powerful Daqing of yesteryear!?”
"The imperial court has always thought of getting closer to the Xiongnu and putting more energy on other enemy countries. But if a small Xiongnu can't solve it, how can it talk about being a hero with other countries."
"This is why, even if I only bring 30,000 soldiers and horses, I still want to attack the Huns in the north. In order to prevent these young people from doing anything wrong to me, Daqing."
With that said, Liu Qi stood up and glanced at the ministers.
"Generals, please remember today, remember this day of humiliation."
"It's not a big deal to bow your head today. The embarrassing thing is all my fault, Liu Qi's fault, and has nothing to do with the generals."
"In the coming days, I will definitely give all generals a chance to avenge their shame!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a soldier shouting.
"The Huns have retreated! The Huns have retreated!"
Everyone looked up and saw the Xiongnu army slowly retreating like a tide.
However, although the crisis in Beiping City was resolved, no one showed a happy expression on their faces.
Because everyone knows that today's Xiongnu retreat was obtained in exchange for Daqing's surrender!
.......
Qin Wei, who had been away from Beiping City for many days, had traveled to many places, starting from Jinzhou
All the way to Qingdu.
After learning that Prince Dasu had led the army to Yizhou, he quickly
The horse galloped, and it took almost three days and three nights to finally arrive.
A border town in Yizhou.
However, he was still one step late.
I learned from the border officers and soldiers that just two days ago, Prince Su had
Following General Yu Pengji, he led the army to the northern border for support.
Hearing this, Wei Qin frowned slightly and secretly complained in his heart. I only regret that I didn’t
Somewhat faster.
"There is no fighting situation in the north and we are asking for help. Why did General Yu lead his troops?"
Faced with Qin Wei's questioning, the guard at the pass looked unreasonable.
"I don't know. This is General Yu's decision."
Even if he hadn't rested for two consecutive days, Qin Wei couldn't rest at this time.
Dare to stay for a moment.
After asking the direction in which General Yu led the army to leave, he galloped forward, hoping that
I hope that I can catch up with the army before reaching Beiping City...
The one who understands the reason best is Yu, who is currently galloping on horseback.
General.
According to Yang Wenyuan's instructions, he will receive the detective news soon.
Tell him that the Xiongnu army is approaching Beiping City and is about to launch an attack.
General Yu does not need to identify the authenticity of the news, nor does he need to ask for help from relatives.
According to the king's opinion, it is enough to lead troops to Beiping City.
Moreover, after arriving at Beiping City, no matter how the prince explained,
It doesn’t matter whether other people obstruct it or not, just make your own judgment, as long as you think that the Huns have
If you threaten, you can lead your troops to attack!
On the way, Prince Su warned Yu Pengji many times that the emperor's edict was,
If the Huns had not marched to Beiping Pass, their army would never have left Yizhou.
step.
General Nai Heyu didn't buy it at all. Relying on his status as a leader, he repeatedly
To deny Prince Su’s idea, one must see with one’s own eyes that nothing happened in Beiping City.
Let go if you can.
.....
At this moment, a small team was walking on the official road.
On his carriage, Liu Yin, who was leaning with a sad face, was leaning.
"Fortunately, labor and capital came out quickly enough. At this moment, I am afraid that the northern border has already
It must be a raging war. "
The attendant on the side came forward with a smile.
"Your Highness is right, the fight must be fierce now, said
No, the Xiongnu army has already entered the northern border. You leave early
Yes, it's really a wise choice. "
Just when Liu Yin heard the words, he was happy and proud, and suddenly a car
The horse stopped and an attendant immediately stepped forward.
"Your Highness, not far ahead, it seems that a large army is approaching."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yin immediately held back the pain in his body and jumped down quickly
carriage.
Just then, the vanguard troops passed by, and a soldier shouted.
"The army is marching, get out of the way!"
Liu Yin raised his eyebrows.
"How dare you, I am the Fourth Prince of Daqing, whose army are you?"
Upon hearing that it was the Fourth Prince, the former soldiers who chased them away immediately dismounted.
"See His Highness the Prince."
"We are the subordinates of General Yupeng Jiyu, and we are currently rushing to Beiping City.
Provide support. "
When he heard that he was going to support Beiping City, Liu Yin's eyes suddenly shone.
flash.
"Quick! Take me to see your general!"
After a while, Liu Yin came to Prince Su, Yu Pengji and other loyal people.
In front of the general.
"Yin'er? Why are you here? Shouldn't you be with the prince?
Well? "
Liu Yin also did not expect that Prince Su would be among the reinforcements.
Liu Yin was still very afraid of him.
Plop!
In an instant, he knelt on the ground, crying with a mournful face, and shouted very sadly.
With.
"Uncle Emperor! It's not good! The Huns have begun to attack the city. I'm afraid that now, the North
Pingcheng has fallen! "
