Chapter 1104 hate the river
Mobei, before the Zhou army camp commander's tent.
The handsome chair that Xue Shao usually sits on is empty, but the camp is still fluttering with flags and sharp swords and swords. The Zhonghou is mighty and majestic. Xue Chuyu stands in front of the handsome chair with a strong and strong stern look, looking at the distance not far ahead. A team of Turkic knights are protecting several cars and horses slowly walking.
The hundreds of generals on the field were all staring at the team of chariots and horses like Xue Chuyu.
This is a very important moment. There should be several very important figures sitting in those carriages. It is so important that they can determine the life and death of 100,000 people, and even the fate of the country.
The carriage and horse stopped. The leading Turkic envoy was already an old acquaintance of everyone. He got off the horse and walked respectfully to Xue Chuyu, bent down and bowed, "General, I am lucky to have fulfilled my fate and sent the person that Marshal Xue wanted. I wonder where Marshal Xue is?"
"Thank you for your hard work," said Xue Chuyu, "Just bring the person to me."
The envoy showed joy, "In this way, Marshal Xue hasn't returned from Shuozhou yet?"
Xue Chuyu didn't say anything.
The envoy called for a grand and glorious look at his forehead, "It's good, it's good!"
Everyone knows that the deadline given to him by Xue Shao in advance was that he had to meet the person he wanted to meet when he came back from Shuozhou, otherwise the war would start. No wonder the Turkic envoy was in this mood.
"Where is a person?" Xue Chuyu didn't care about his mood.
"Yes, my envoy will come immediately to invite him to meet the general." After that, the envoy immediately walked towards the carriage.
"He?" Xue Chuyu pondered inwardly, "No-them?"
Everyone turned their eyes to the carriage.
A man, a man in Turkic aristocratic costume, was tied up with ropes and walked down from the carriage.
Everyone let out a shout!
——Wang Yu?!
Xue Chuyu also widened his eyes instantly, but he immediately recovered his calmness, raised his hand and shouted angrily, "Why do you want to tie it?"
"God General!" The Turkic envoy was a little hurried, "Please listen to my explanation!"
"I asked them to tie them up." It was Wang Yu's voice.
People were even more surprised and the scene became quiet.
Wang Yu walked towards the commander's tent, lowered his head, no one looked at it, and there was no expression on his face.
Xue Chuyu's eyes narrowed slightly. After a long time, he still clearly remembered the scene when Yu Dujinshan was sneaking into the Turkic tooth tent and almost killed Wang Yu.
At that time, Wang Yu should be the most difficult, helpless and painful person among everyone Xue Chuyu had ever met in her life.
At that time, he even wanted to die.
Finally, he mustered up the courage to survive. Not only did he protect the lives of Xue Chuyu, Ai Yan and his son, Xuan Yunzi and others, but he led his troops to destroy the rebellion of Ashinamochu. It was after that rebellion that Ashinagutulu, the founder of the Turkic Khanate, also passed away.
That civil strife on the grassland and the death of the Gutulu brothers was a great weakening for the Turkic Khanate. If it weren't for the emergence of the Hanyu Valley, the Turkic Khanate might have perished at that time.
The decline of the Turks was undoubtedly the victory of the Great Zhou. One fell swoop and the other rose. From then on, the Turks were no longer able to launch an aggressive war against the south. As a result, the Great Zhou saved military spending and killed fewer people, which was uncountable. It was precisely because the Turks had freed up their hands that the Great Zhou won the war against Tubo.
In this way, Wang Yu is a typical example of "being in Cao's camp and being in Han", and has made great contributions to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But now, Wang Yu has indeed become a "Turkish man". Not only because he is now wearing Turkic noble clothes, but also because he has already started a family and had a son in the Turkic Republic, and married a Turkic princess with a strong root. In addition, he was once a general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and after being captured, he betrayed the enemy and held a high position, these are things that cannot be recognized by traditional Chinese moral concepts.
Therefore, all the soldiers of the Great Zhou present looked at Wang Yu with complex eyes.
Under everyone's attention, Wang Yu walked to Xue Chuyu, knelt down on his knees, and touched the ground with his forehead.
"The sinner Wang Yu, come and die."
Eight words, like eight needles piercing Xue Chuyu's heart.
With his temperament, he wanted to strode forward, so he tore Wang Yu's annoying Turkic clothes first and then give him a strong bear hug.
But Xue Chuyu did not move, and said calmly but majesticly: "Come here, please relax the ties to General Wang first and ask him to go down and rest. Have a good hospitality."
"yes."
The soldiers from both sides came up and helped Wang Yu up from the ground.
Wang Yu followed the sergeant silently. From beginning to end, he never looked up at anyone.
Xue Chuyu took a few steps forward, finally squeezed out a smile on her face, and said to the Turkic envoy: "Where are anyone else?"
"Who else?" the Turkic envoy asked with a confused look on his face.
Xue Chuyu frowned and said calmly in a calm voice: "Wang Yu's family, and Xuan Yunzi."
"This..." The envoy was embarrassed, "I would like to ask the general, how about the secret talk in the tent?"
Xue Chuyu knew that those people were not in other carriages and was so angry that he was so angry that he couldn't bear it for the time being, but he had to endure it for a while and said loudly: "All the generals obey the orders--there are no private discussions on what happened today. Violators will be severely punished!"
"Yes!" All the generals received the order.
In fact, everyone knows that Xue Chuyu did not give orders. Wang Yu was not simple at first. He was not only Shangguan Wan'er's cousin and Xue Shao's only personal student. He was once very favored by the queen, as if his future was bright. Now he has become a key figure in the war in front of him. Things about him are almost equivalent to military and national affairs, and no one dares to gossip.
Xue Chuyu invited the Turkic envoy to the commander's tent, without saying a word, "Tell me."
The Turkic envoy also realized that although the general Xue Chuyu did not have the eloquence and domineering spirit of Xue Shao, he was like a sword that had just been unsheathed, and he was still the kind of sword that would kill people with blood if he had a disagreement.
It seems that going around with Xue Chuyu is not only useless, but may also be fatal.
So the Turkic envoy briefly mentioned the key point: "The meaning of my country's tooth tent is to ask the general to retreat 100 miles after receiving Wang Yu. After retreating, the general will send the rest. Just treat it as a show of sincerity, and ask the general not to blame him."
Xue Chuyu took a deep breath, frowned, gritted her teeth, and pondered.
The Turkic envoy suddenly felt a chill in his heart... General Xue was angry and angry. How many people had he killed?
"Come here." Xue Chuyu suddenly shouted, "I will order you to set off immediately and go south to re-establish camps and set up camps."
"Ah?" The Turkic envoy could hardly believe his ears. Isn't this too straightforward?
"I'm very impatient." Xue Chuyu's voice had almost no emotion, "I hope you keep your promise, otherwise you will bear the consequences."
After saying that, Xue Chuyu left.
Suddenly, the envoy was sweating all over his head, and kept waving his sleeves to wipe it, and whispered in a low voice: "Why are all the people I met more strange than the other?"
A hundred thousand great laborers moved in an instant and moved towards the south in a mighty way.
Wang Yu received good care, had good food and accommodation, no one disturbed him, but no one said anything more to him, including Xue Chuyu, whom he wanted to see the most.
Five days later, a hundred thousand troops retreated a hundred miles south and settled down again and stationed.
The Turkic envoy arrived as promised and brought several more carriages. This time, they were sent to Wang Yu's family - the princess he married in the Turks, and his children, all of them.
Everyone was surprised, including Wang Yu himself. No one expected that the Turks would agree to send these people back.
However, Xuan Yunzi still did not come.
The Turkic envoy said that if the Zhou army was asked to retreat a hundred miles south, he would naturally send Xuan Yunzi to him.
Xue Chuyu didn't say anything, and the quick knife flashed on his waist. The Turkic envoy covered his ears and screamed loudly. Blood flowed all over his face, and there were already ears on the ground. He shouted loudly: "The country of Chinese etiquette, the two countries will not be killed even when they fight. Why is the general..."
"I am a martial artist who doesn't know etiquette and only recognizes right or wrong." Xue Chuyu said coldly: "Since you dare to deceive me, you will bear the consequences."
The Turkic envoy covered his bloody face in pain, "Even if the general kills me, he will not be able to change the decision of the tooth tent. If he wants to see Xuan Yunzi, the general can only... retreat a hundred miles away!"
"Transfer the order, withdraw the army." Xue Chuyu issued the order.
The Turkic envoy was almost crying, "Since the general knows the truth and knows the great qualities, why do you have to make things difficult for me... your little ear?"
"I remember I told you that I was impatient." Xue Chuyu said calmly, "This time I borrowed a piece of ear to tell you about your teeth. I was impatient."
"Okay, my envoy said goodbye!..."
The Turkic envoys didn't dare to say anything more. The left and right entourages gave him a brief treatment and hurriedly went again.
The Zhou army once again set up camp and headed south.
The next night, the Zhou army stationed down by a river.
Xue Chuyu called Wang Yu to the riverside, and the two talked alone.
"You are finally willing to see me?" Wang Yu took the initiative to speak.
"Why do you want to say - finally?" Xue Chuyu's expression was very natural, just like an ordinary old friend said, "Actually, I always wanted to see you, so I wanted to have a good chat with you. But I had too many things to do, and I had a rare moment of free time."
Wang Yu smiled bitterly, "What should we talk about?"
"Many, a lot." Xue Chuyu let out a sigh of relief, "But I really don't know where to start."
Both men stared at the river in front of them in a daze and became stunned.
"I remember that I was seriously injured and endangered, and I was lying on the carriage, and I went north along this river to flee. Many people walked for a long time and it was very hard to walk." Xue Chuyu said with memories: "If there was no such river at that time, I would have died, and many people would have died."
"Yes. Walking in the desert, without water is far more terrifying than having no food." Wang Yu pointed to the river, "Do you know what it is called?"
"There is still a name for this river?"
"Henhe River." Wang Yu said, "The Turkic Khan Gu Dulu - that is, my father-in-law, gave it the name."
"Why call it, Hell River?" Xue Chuyu was very curious, "As you said, if it weren't for it, many people would die in the desert."
"At that time, Gutulu Khan was once..." Wang Yu paused for a moment, smiled bitterly, and said again: "I was captured by Marshal Xue. Later, he escaped by luck and led more than ten cavalry with his younger brother Mochu, which was the grassland that went north along the river. He said that at that time, he was full of shame and anger, and often ran to the river alone to vent his vent. The river seemed to sense his emotions, and the waves became even more surging. In order to remember the pain of defeat and the humiliation of being captured, Gutulu Khan gave the river a name, called Hen River."
"Put aside, Gu Dulu is indeed a person who accomplishes great things." Xue Chuyu said, "It deserves respect."
Wang Yu did not answer. He looked at the river again and became stunned.
Xue Chuyu knew that what Wang Yu thought the most now was definitely how to face Xue Shao after he went back.
