Chapter 107: Hu Ji returns to Han
In a gorgeous tent, Helanzhi was arguing with her father, and with a cold face, she refused to agree to go to the Han area to exchange Shanyu's body.
"This time the Han people have designated you to ask for you, you must agree. If we do not return the body of Shanyu, our Helan family may be in a disaster of extermination. For the benefit of the Helan family, you must go to the Han area!" Helanzhi's father Helan Suotai rejected his daughter's begging without any room for negotiation.
He was one of the most respected ministers of the Shanyu Yufuluo, and he was also a cousin with Yufuluo. Her daughter Helanzhi was also a cousin princess in the Huns. Because of her beautiful appearance, Helanzhi was known as the most beautiful woman on the grassland. She was nicknamed "The Flower of the Grassland". She was arrogant and could not be seen by anyone. Therefore, she was eighteen years old this year and was still not married yet.
Unexpectedly, in order to get the body of Shanyu, this arrogant Hun woman was actually dragged in, which made her both ashamed and annoyed. Since she learned the news, she has been crying in front of her father.
"Father, go and talk to the two kings and ask for love for me. You, Shanyu and Zuo Xian, are relatives. When it comes to this, I have to call King Chuquan to call him cousin. You go and ask for another person for me, and change another person?" Helanzhi pulled his father's arm and begged.
Helan Suotai sighed and shook his head to refuse: "No, King Huchuquan and King Aheguai said that Yuan Mai designated you to ask for you. If someone else was replaced, he would definitely not send back the body of Shanyu."
"Then let others pretend to be their daughter, okay? Anyway, that damn Yuan Mai doesn't know me!" The Hun girl had an idea and remembered a Li Daitao Zombie's idea.
Let my daughter marry far away to the Han area. As a parent, Helan Suotai couldn't bear it. After hearing his daughter's words, he felt a little moved. After thinking for a moment, he still shook his head: "No, in the battle of Shangdang, our army was captured by a thousand people. You have a prominent reputation on our grassland, and many men know you. If these prisoners surrender to the Han people and point out that the impersonation woman is not you, things will be troublesome! The king knows your temperament. Therefore, he specifically reminds me not to make trouble. If you can't exchange for Shanyu's body this time, let all the people in our Helan family be buried with you! Therefore, for the sake of the entire family, my father must sacrifice to help you."
He heard his father say so resolutely. He Lanzhi knew that it would be useless to beg for him. He said hatefully: "Okay. Since that's the case, my daughter will go... to be the wife of the Han people!"
Helan Sotai sighed again and nodded, "Pack up your luggage!"
But I was sad in my heart. My silly daughter, do you think the Han people asked you to be the wife? Even if you were to be a concubine, treat you well, and be content with your father! The most fear is that you are like the Han women we captured, who are full of brilliance and humiliation from soldiers, and in the end you have to do the lowest physical work...
Not long after, He Lanzhi had already packed her luggage. In addition to her clothes and some jewelry, she also had the most popular Hu Zi. She knelt down to her father and bowed: "Daughter is gone, father take care of her! Daughter... will never come back."
After saying that, regardless of what my father thought, he walked out of the tent with his bag, and even though he didn't even shed a single tear.
Five hundred Hun soldiers chased three thousand war horses, surrounded by a carriage, winding eastward, and headed straight for Shangdang.
In the carriage, two beautiful women sat opposite each other, going to the same place, but their mood was completely different. Along the way, they didn't say a word.
Although Cai Yan was reluctant to part with her two sons, she was about to return to her hometown that she had been away for a long time. After passing Lishi Pass, she could see the Han people. Every time she took a step forward, she was close to her hometown. This made her unable to contain her excitement. She had picked up the curtains of the carriage and looked outside for many times along the way.
The moon is the whole hometown, and people are the relatives of the hometown. It is always a happy thing to be able to leave the barbarians and return to their hometown that has been gone for a long time!
Although he didn't know much about Yuan Mai's intention to summon him, Cai Yan felt that since the Yuan family was famous all over the world, with four generations and three masters, and as a noble family, Yuan Mai should not have any malice towards him. After all, his father was once a famous grand clan, and he also had a certain reputation among the gentry literati in the Central Plains. This Yuan Mai would not be more cruel than the Huns, right?
But for He Lanzhi, she had a different mood. After leaving Lishi Pass, she entered the territory of the Han people. Every time she took a step forward, she became farther and farther away from the fertile water and grass. From now on, I am afraid that she will never return to the grassland where she once herded horses and sheep?
"Yanshi... you must be very happy, right?" He Lanzhi, who had been holding it in for a whole day, couldn't help it and asked.
Cai Yan then withdrew his gaze and smiled at Helanzhi. His smile was full of bitter taste, and his tone was filled with sadness: "Home has been destroyed and the country is about to die. What's the joy of the people living in poverty? It's just a little relieved. After all, my hometown is a place that makes people nostalgic."
"Anyway, the Yan family is about to set foot on the land of their homeland, but I am getting further and further away from my hometown!" He Lanzhi said with a sad expression. He Lanzhi only realized that he could vaguely see his future shadow in her body. However, Wen Ji will eventually return to her country, and will she still have a day to return home?
Cai Yan reached out and slid his hair on his temples and said softly: "Zhi'er, from now on, I will no longer be the sage. Don't call me that anymore. Just call me Sister Yan!"
Helanzhi nodded silently. Yes, since the moment of departure, this legendary woman who became the King of Zuoguli of the Huns as a Han Chinese was no longer the Yan clan. I wonder what her identity is.
"Sister Yan, I now feel your mood when you were in our land. I really want to play a song of hukao. I love singing your seven beats the most. Can you and my sister play a song together and say goodbye to the land you are about to leave?"
After hearing He Lanzhi's proposal, Cai Yan suddenly remembered two sons who were unsteady. I wonder how miserable their days would be without their mother?
I couldn't help but feel sad from it and sang loudly: "The wind is so sad and the sounds are everywhere on the edge. I don't know who is sad. The fields are desolate and besieged for thousands of miles, the vulgar and old are weak and young are beautiful. I chase the water and grass to settle down and build houses, cattle and sheep are gathered all over the ground, like bees and ants. The grass is gone, the water is exhausted, and the sheep and horses are all moving. I beat the seven beats and the hate is here, and the evil lives are here..."
Helanzhi listened to Cai Yan's heart-warming singing, so she took the hujia from her bag and played it with Cai Yan's beat. One song was so sad and graceful, excited and sorrowful; the other hujia was melodious, like crying and complaining; it made people feel sad when they heard it, and all of them were crying.
After leaving Hexi for two days, the five hundred Xiongnu soldiers, led by Xiao Ping, chased three thousand good horses and surrounded Cai Yan and He Lanzhi and gradually entered Shangdang. When they were in Xiangyuan County, they met the Qianzhao who led two thousand horses to receive it.
A few days ago, Qu Yi and Hao Zhao led 20,000 troops to attack Huai County, the capital of Hanoi County, and successfully captured it. If it weren't for Yuan Mai's time travel, and according to the true trajectory of history, Zhang Yang sent troops to the East City, echoing Lu Bu, but was killed by his general Yang Chou, preparing to surrender to Cao Cao. Cao Ren, the general guarding Chenliu, then sent Shi Huan as the vanguard, and led 5,000 troops to Hanoi first, and then arrived.
Unexpectedly, the mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole was behind. Before Yang Chou had time to offer the city, he was attacked by Guan Gu, who had just surrendered because of a conflict with Zhang Yan. Guan Gu occupied the city and surrendered to Yuan Shao. Before Yuan Shao's men could be dispatched, Cao Ren and Shi Huan came to the city of Henei. Guan Gu led a group of black mountain mobs, and the panicked defenders, how could he resist Cao Cao's tiger and wolf army?
Guan Gu then abandoned the city and fled, preparing to go to Yecheng to join Yuan Shao, but was killed by Shi Huan Yushequan County. This was the first head-on confrontation in history. After being seized by Cao Cao, Yuan Shao felt deeply threatened and mobilized a large army to attack Cao Cao. The battle of Guandu broke out. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao, who was originally full of confidence and swallowed the world, was defeated by Guandu, and his vitality was severely damaged. From then on, he declined from prosperity and embarked on the road of destruction!
Because Yuan Mai's time travel caused a butterfly effect, Guan Gu did not surrender to Zhang Yang, so Yang Chou was able to continue to survive and presented the city of Hanoi to Cao Cao. Shi Huan led his troops into the city. Before he could take a breath, Qu Yi and Hao Zhao's army rushed to the city.
The people and gentry in the city were more inclined to Yuan Shao, so someone secretly opened the city gate and let Yuan's army enter the city. Qu Yi led his troops to cover the killing, but Shi Huan could not resist and led his army to retreat. Qu Yi and Hao Zhao successfully occupied the city of Hanoi. It was too late for Cao Ren to lead his troops, and saw that there were 20,000 elite Yuan troops stationed, so he had to retreat.
When the news reached Shangdang, Yuan Mai was very happy and finally had a land of his own. He didn't have to run around anymore. He led a thousand men to Hanoi with Tian Feng and rushed to Hanoi at night, leaving Qianzhao to lead two thousand men, guarding Yu Fuluo's coffin, waiting for the Huns envoys to come and exchange it. He received a report that the Huns had entered Shangdang from Lishi Pass, and Qianzhao led the team to welcome him.
He ordered the soldiers to count the horses. Seeing that they were all good horses, Qianzhao felt relieved and went to the carriage to pay homage to the two women. The curtains of the carriage were lifted, Cai Yan and He Lanzhi got out of the carriage one after another and bowed to Qianzhao Yingying: "Young woman, pay homage to you!"
"The two ladies don't have to be too polite!"
With a humble sentence, I looked at Cai Yan in white, with an extraordinary temperament, dignified appearance, and a noble lady. The Hu woman was even more beautiful. She was tall, with big eyes and high nose bridge, beautiful facial features, fair skin, and watery black hair. She was definitely a rare beauty in the world. She was indeed worthy of the reputation of "Flowers of the Grassland".
"Young Master Buy now has a blessing, it's so envious!" Qian Zhao couldn't help but sighed in his heart.
