Plan to cut off the nine states

Because of its insignificance, a flaw can sometimes arouse more anger. It is like a humming little flying insect that constantly harasses the ears. Occasionally it flies past the eyes, showing off its own victory and laughing at the opponent's helplessness. .

This was Shan Yu's mood at this time. He had captured Xijing and won the planned victory, but the person he was looking for was not there.

He had never taken Princess Tiancheng seriously. Even after hearing about her beauty, he was only slightly interested. It was not until he had to ask He Rongpingshan to commit suicide that he elevated the princess to a slightly higher position.

But these are only trivial details. What makes Shan Yu angry is that he has already said that he will use the princess to bury He Rongpingshan. The whole army knows it, but the result cannot be realized.

He stared at Xu Chu and began to suspect that he had been deceived by this person. Suddenly he saw an excited face out of the corner of his eye. That was Kou Daogu. A man who had always been as cold and arrogant as ice suddenly showed cracks on the ice. This It's a little unusual.

Shanyu calmed down a little and sent an order in He Rong language, and the two adults took the order and went out of the tent.

Shanyu returned to his original position and sat down, silent in thought, seeming to have forgotten about Xu Chu.

Soon, several soldiers brought in a prisoner.

He was a strong man, taller than everyone in the tent, with disheveled hair and a few pieces of armor left on his body. His hands were tied behind his back. Even if he fell into the enemy's hands, he refused to give in. Every step he took To twist it, it would take three or four soldiers to push it.

The prisoner proudly refused to kneel, and a soldier kicked him in the knees, making the prisoner straighten his legs even more.

The soldier was about to draw his sword, but Shanyu raised his hand to stop him and said, "Are you a tough enemy? The leader of the Xijing World Army?"

"It's your father. I am the Grand Marshal of the Incarnation Army, not a big boss."

Shan Yu laughed and said, "Anyway, it's you who makes the decision in Xijing?"

"Yes, it's me. The fall of Xijing is all my fault, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. No, there are also those traitors. If they hadn't been bribed, Xijing could have held on for at least a year, but you will have to do it before winter. Escape back beyond the Great Wall.”

"Ha, you have a good tone. How do you drink?"

Xiong Duryodhana was stunned for a moment, but he was not afraid of anything and replied: "I don't know because I have never been drunk before."

"Okay, loosen the ties and give me some wine."

There were many people in He Rong's tent, and they were not afraid of a single prisoner. The soldiers immediately untied the ropes, and someone else came over with half a bag of strong liquor and handed it to the prisoners.

Duryodhana was determined to die, but he didn't expect to have a chance to drink. He was stunned again, and without asking any questions, he took the wine bag, pulled out the cork, raised his neck and drank deeply. In a moment, he drank the wine completely. , he shook it hard twice more, and after confirming that there was indeed no alcohol in it, he threw it to the ground, raised his hand to wipe the corners of his mouth, and said contemptuously: "Stingy."

There was a lot of wine in the tent. Shanyu nodded and immediately sent over a dozen bags.

Male Duryodhana drank heavily, finishing the bag in three or four gulps. His belly slowly swelled, but his face was only slightly red.

Everyone in the tent began to feel amused, especially Shan Yu, who smiled and seemed to have completely forgotten his anger.

After drinking three bags of strong liquor, Xiong Duryodi let out a wine belch and swayed slightly.

"The wine outside the Great Wall is stronger than that in the Central Plains." Shan Yu said.

"No matter how strong it is, it's still wine. I was caught by you and cannot be freed until I relax..." As he spoke, Xiong Duryodhana untied his belt, took out something, and urinated in public.

Everyone was horrified and shouted in unison, but Xiong Duryo found it interesting and slowly spun around in a circle, forcing the nearby soldiers back while laughing loudly.

Duryodhana turned exactly in a circle, drew a circle on the ground, enclosed himself in it, and carefully avoided the wine bag placed at his feet.

Shan Yu was startled at first, but he did not get angry or order anyone to stop him. Instead, he turned around and talked quietly with several He Rong people. They seemed to remember some interesting past events and they all laughed out loud.

Duryodhana picked up a new bag of wine and wanted to drink more.

Shan Yu said: "Wine without meat will harm the body."

Two servants brought a pot of meat and wrinkled their noses as they approached the "boundary".

Duryodhana also didn't want others to enter his "turf", so he stretched out his hand and said: "Put it aside. If you want to enter my 'circle of subduing demons', you have not practiced enough."

The servant was eager for this, so he put down the iron pot and left in a hurry.

The meat in the pot was half-cooked and cold. The male enemy didn't care at all or what he had just done. He grabbed the meat with his bare hands and chewed it in his mouth.

After drinking two more bottles of wine and finishing a pot of meat, Duryodhana patted his belly and let out a sigh of relief, "Well, I'm full. If you want to kill or cut into pieces, please feel free to do so."

Shanyu stood up and praised: "He is a good man!"

But Xiong Nandi shook his head, "If you can't capture Shanyu alive and wipe out all He Rong's cavalry on the battlefield, you can't be considered a hero."

"You're talking about a hero, not a hero."

"What, you don't think I'm a hero?" Xiong Duryodhana's eyes widened, as if he was about to break out of the "circle of subduing demons" and rush towards Shan Yu.

"With hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, the defense of Xijing was breached in less than a month. Such people cannot be considered heroes."

Xiong Duryodhana's eyes widened and he suddenly became discouraged and sighed: "You're right, I'm not a hero, I'm just a foodie who can eat and drink. Just kill me. I have nothing to say, I'm just ashamed." The descendant king and his godmother.”

"Godmother?"

"Golden Saint is my godmother."

It was Shan Yu's turn to be stunned, then he smiled and said, "What a coincidence, your godfather is here."

"I don't have a godfather!" Xiong Duryodhana shouted, causing the ears of the two soldiers in front to tingle. "I only recognize my godmother. I...I...who is Xu Chu?"

Xiong Duryodhana's eyes turned and quickly looked at the few Central Plains people in the tent. After a little identification, his eyes fell on the tallest person, "Are you Xu Chu?"

Kou Daogu snorted coldly and turned away.

Xu Chu took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "I am Xu Chu."

Duryodhana looked him up and down three times, took a sip on the ground, and uttered two words: "Unworthy."

Xu Chu didn't say anything, but Shan Yu said: "Isn't he worthy of being your godfather?"

"Bah, you are not worthy to be the husband of the Golden Saint. I thought Xu Chu was some kind of hero, but it turns out he is just a pretty boy who is willing to be a lackey of a foreign race. It is shameful."

Xu Chu didn't do anything, Zhang Shiyu and others looked ashamed, but Kou Daogu remained unmoved.

Shan Yu took two steps forward, but stayed away from the "Devil Circle", "Do you know who came up with the strategy of buying off the defenders?"

Xiong Duryo immediately looked at Xu Chu.

Xu Chu did not explain. He had a reputation for being scheming and could not blame others for doubting him.

"He was originally the King of Wu, and it was easy to bribe individual people in the World Army." Xiong Duryo's face showed even more contempt.

Another Lord He Rong who went out before came in, walked to Shan Yu, and whispered back.

Shan Yu nodded and looked at Xu Chu, "Your servants are asking everywhere for details of the broken city - you really don't know anything?"

"I guessed a few things, that's all."

Kou Daogu opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing.

Chanyu seemed to believe it, but took another step closer to Duryodhana, "You defended the city for the Golden Saint, but it was attacked by her husband. It's not worth it for me to defend you."

"Young man sells himself for glory, what's wrong with the Golden Saint?" Xiong Duryodhana was furious and took a few steps forward, only stopping when he reached the edge of the "Devil Circle".

Several He Rong soldiers immediately ran over and stood between him and Shan Yu.

"I drank your wine and ate your meat, but I did not surrender. You barbarians don't have to be complacent. Although you have captured Xijing, the Advent Army is still alive. They will come back soon and kill you all. Don’t stay!”

"Come back from where?"

"Since... Hey, do you think I'm stupid?"

"There's nothing to hide. It's either Hanzhou or Liangzhou. Liangzhou has long surrendered to my He Rong tribe. Going there is throwing yourself into a trap. I will go to Hanzhou in person soon. Where is the Golden Saint? You won’t be able to hide for long. The people of the Central Plains are naturally cowardly, and there are at most a few heroes like you. None of them can be called a hero, and even a woman like the Golden Saint is not worth mentioning..."

The method of stimulating generals is indeed more effective. Xiong Di said angrily: "There are heroes everywhere in the Central Plains. If you pick one at random, he will be a hundred times stronger than you. Although the Golden Saint is a female, she can be called the first female hero in the Central Plains. She has already guessed it. You He Rong people's little tricks, she led the troops north to take advantage of you..."

Xiong Duryo quickly shut up, but the words still came out.

Shanyu's expression changed slightly, and he immediately smiled and said: "I see, it doesn't matter. How much should I worry about others, Golden Saint?" Shanyu shook his head.

Duryodhana became even angrier, "You will know when you are homeless..." Duryodhana suddenly rushed forward, left the "circle of subduing demons", and pounced on Chanyu.

The soldiers were on guard for a long time, six of them in total, and tried to stop him at the same time, but they still underestimated the strength of the hero.

Xiong Duranti knocked the two men away, pushed them away, kicked one person away, and still pounced on Shanyu with another person hanging on his body.

The soldier was shocked, and then he thought of drawing his sword, but it was too late.

Shan Yu also showed a hint of fear on his face.

The He Rong people in the tent took action one after another. A young adult moved the fastest. He stopped in front of Shan Yu with an arrow step. At the same time, he drew his sword out of its sheath and slashed diagonally from bottom to top.

Male Duryodhana shouted, took two steps back, looked down at the long scars and oozing blood on his body, "The technique is good, but the knife is not sharp enough, use another one." After that, he rushed forward again.

But the soldiers had come to their senses, and together with the seven or eight Lord He Rong who came to help, they chopped and slashed with more than a dozen knives, stopping Xiong Duryodhana. The poor soldier who was hanging on it also received several blows. , fell to the ground and died first.

Duryodhana sustained dozens of wounds on his body, but he still refused to fall. He punched several people and knocked them over. Finally, he suddenly stopped, looked up to the sky, screamed, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell straight to the ground.

There was silence in the big tent. After waiting for a while, someone came forward and stabbed Duryodhana in the face with the tip of a knife. After confirming that he was dead, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

"What a good man." Shan Yu praised, and then switched to He Rong language, hugging Lord He Rong who was the first to kill the hero, and praised him loudly.

Finally, Chanyu walked up to several Central Plains people and said to Xu Chu: "It's none of your business here, that's fine. But as you can see, no one in the Central Plains can stop He Rong's cavalry."

"Just clear up the misunderstanding."

"Golden Saint has gone to the north, and Princess Tiancheng must be there too. This will save me a lot of trouble. The 'guests' I invited happen to be outside the Great Wall. I will ask them to give me a 'gift'. You should too Make your decision early, Xu Chu, the game can’t go on forever.”

Xu Chu nodded. Everyone could see that he was frustrated.

After returning to the tent and sitting blankly for a while, Xu Chu said to Chang Yan: "Pack your things, it's time for us to leave."
