Chapter 175: Words and Harmony (3)

Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo is a very resolute person.

On the same day, he asked the slaves to prepare a carriage, and called a horseman to drive the carriage to carry him and Huang Arsenic towards Zhengyang County.

Except for one groom, Xiong Tuo only brought two guards, and the rest of the people, including Huang Arsenic's entourage, were left behind in Yangcheng.

This can be regarded as going to the enemy camp alone, and this courage is admired even by the scholar Huang Arsenic.

At this time, there was still heavy snow and snow blocking the road, so that the carriage of Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo had to travel for two days, and then came to Zhengyang County at noon the next day.

The carriage slowly drove towards the southern gate of Zhengyang County.

During this period, Huang Arsenic lifted the curtain of the carriage window and glanced in the direction of the city gate of Zhengyang County.

"What's going on?" Wasn't Zhengyang County conquered by the Wei army?'

Huang Arsenic asked Xiong Tuo about the matter in shock.

Unexpectedly, Xiong Tuo told him: "Those ...... It was originally a soldier under the command of a certain commander, but now, they have surrendered to Ji Run, known as the 'Pingyang Army'......"

As he spoke, he told Huang Arsenic about the return of more than 50,000 Chu soldiers to Zhao Hongrun, the king of Wei.

Speaking of which, whenever he thinks of this number, Xiong Tuo is a little unhappy, after all, the meaning of the name "Pingyang Army" is too obvious.

"Is there such a thing?" Huang Arsenic was surprised when he heard this, after all, according to Xiong Tuo, there were only more than 30,000 Wei soldiers under the hands of Ji Run, the king of Wei State, and it was hard to imagine where he got the courage to recruit more than 50,000 Chu soldiers in one go.

The reason for him was that Xiong Tuo, who dared to come to Zhengyang County alone, was bold enough, but he didn't expect it. In terms of courage, the king of Wei is not inferior.

This made him pay attention to Xiong Tuo and Ji Run.

Not to mention, Huang Arsenic really thought of their old enemies, Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, and Wang Xi of Qi.

"What a guts!"

Huang Arsenic praised sincerely.

Xiong Tuo pursed his lips when he heard this, but to be honest, he did admire Na Ji Run, or Zhao Hongrun.

Even he didn't expect it. Zhao Hongrun dared to use the Pingyang Army to guard Zhengyang County, this courage is really admirable.

"Squeak ......"

The carriage stopped at the Nancheng Gate in Zhengyang County, because the Pingyang sergeant on duty was about to search the carriage.

After all, this is Zhengyang County, and it is the frontline city of Zhao Hongrun's attack on Yangcheng Jun Xiongtuo, even if the two sides are in the cold winter now, it is impossible to relax the search, after all, every time at this time, it is more to find a way to blend into the enemy city. or spying on intelligence, or disturbing the peace, we have to guard against it.

But then again, these soldiers of the Pingyang Army, I'm afraid they would never have imagined which two big men of the Chu State were carrying in this carriage.

"Huh?"

No, when he lifted the door curtain of the carriage and looked inside, a Pingyang sergeant was a little stunned, because he was in the car. Xiong Tuo and Huang Arsenic sat opposite each other and drank, without looking at him. The kind of momentum that seems to be high up in the sky, at first glance, you know that it is from an aristocratic background.

If in the past, whenever such a nobleman was encountered, ordinary pawns would never dare to interrogate, after all, in the Chu State, a nobleman could decide the life and death of a commoner with a word. But now, hmph, it's different!

"What's the gas?"

The Pingyang sergeant saw that Xiong Tuo and Huang Arsenic in the carriage ignored him at all, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, knowing that at present, this Zhengyang County is the Wei army in charge. And he, as a member of the Pingyang Army, can also be called half of the Wei people, how can he allow the nobles of the Chu State who bullied them to be the same as in the past in front of them?

Thinking of this, he plucked up his courage and shouted at the two people who were suspected of being nobles of the Chu State: "Who are the two of you, and you are reporting your names, what is the so-called matter in Zhengyang County here?!" ”

Unexpectedly, Xiong Tuo glanced at him coldly, and said without concealment: "Xiong Tuo! ”

"Xiong Tuo...... It's a familiar name.'"

The Pingyang sergeant tilted his head and thought about it, and then his face changed greatly: "Yang...... Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo? ”

"Humph!" Xiong Tuo snorted coldly.

It may be that he has been accumulating power for a long time, so just by Xiong Tuo's glance, the Pingyang sergeant was sweating profusely, and hurriedly lowered the door curtain and shouted at the nearby Pingyang sergeants: "Xiong Tuo!" Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo is here! ”

"What?" The nearby Pingyang soldiers were surprised and frightened when they heard this, and they all held their weapons to surround the carriages, but no one dared to be presumptuous, after all, once upon a time, Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuona was the king of Chu Guoyi who ruled this land, and the great nobleman among the great nobles.

At this time, Hou Bai, the 2,000-man general in charge of the defense of this city gate, was standing near the city wall, and when he heard the shouts of the Pingyang soldiers under the city gate, he was also shocked, and hurriedly ran down the city gate and came to the carriage.

It can be seen that Hou Bai, the two thousand people, is also a little hesitant, he has the intention to take down Xiong Tuo in the car immediately, after all, His Royal Highness King Su of the King of Wei promised a lot of money to capture Xiong Tuo, but in the face of the old master, Hou Bai really didn't have the courage to take Xiong Tuo and go to Zhao Hongrun in exchange for a bounty.

I saw him circle around the carriage twice, and asked respectfully, "Inside the car, but Lord Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiong Tuo in the car lifted the curtain of the car window, glanced at Hou Bai, and snorted lightly: "Two thousand people will ...... Hum! ”

Hou Bai's face was full of shame, after all, in the past, he was only a thousand generals, and later surrendered to the Wei army, so he sat in the position of two thousand generals.

But even when he was sarcastic, he didn't dare to attack, just stood there respectfully.

Seeing this, Xiong Tuo didn't bother to taunt him anymore, and said a little unhappily: "Take Benjun to see Ji Run!" ”

"Ji Run...... Is that His Royal Highness the King of Su?'

Hou Bai hesitated when he heard this.

At this time, the figure of Huang Arsenic appeared in the car window, and I saw him smile and say, "Don't be surprised! In addition to Tuo Gongzi and Huang, there was only one groom, two guards, and only five people on this trip, and I was bothered that the general sent someone to lead us to the place where the Rungongzi stayed. ”

Hou Bai looked at Huang Arsenic in surprise, after all, Huang Arsenic's bearing proved that he was also from a great aristocratic background. I just don't know who the other party is.

But when he thought about it, he was suddenly stunned.

"Strike the army and make peace? Is there going to be a truce?'

Hou Bai couldn't help but rejoice in his heart.

After all, although he said that he had surrendered to Wei, he was always from Chu, and now he had no choice but to follow the Wei army to attack Chu, and he was not comfortable to be honest.

He longed for an immediate truce, because it would be so. He could take the reward given by Zhao Hongrun, take his family and leave the Wei State, and settle down in the country where the tax is only "tithe".

"Words...... Peace? Want to make peace? He couldn't help but ask.

Xiong Tuo frowned unhappily when he heard this, and said in his heart that this kind of thing is also something you can ask about?

However, Huang Arsenic answered Hou Bai's inquiry with a smile: "We have shown sincerity, and the rest depends on the meaning of that Run Gongzi." …… It was not early, and General Lao sent someone to guide the place where the prince was staying. ”

"Yes, yes."

Hearing that there was a very likely truce, Hou Bai was overjoyed and nodded again and again. Said respectfully: "The last general will personally lead the two of them." ”

With that, he ordered the Pingyang sergeant from the side to continue to guard the city gate, while he himself sat in the position of the coachman and guided the carriage to slowly drive the carriage towards the city.

In the carriage, Huang Arsenic sat back in his original position and said with a smile: "It can be seen that 'they' are still in awe of Tuo Gongzi. ”

Xiong Tuo snorted lightly when he heard this, he naturally understood the "they" in Huang Arsenic's mouth. refers to those soldiers of the "Pingyang Army".

"So what? Since they have surrendered to Wei, as long as they are not stupid. I won't go back to so-and-so......"

"Hmm." Huang Arsenic nodded.

Indeed, it is not uncommon for surrendered troops who have surrendered to the enemy to be trusted even if they return to their home countries in the future. Therefore, as long as those former Chu soldiers were not so stupid, it was categorically impossible to return to the Chu army. Not to mention that Zhao Hongrun's treatment of them is quite good.

Fortunately, the territory of Chu is vast and densely populated, so Huang Arsenic didn't care much about the Chu soldiers who surrendered to Wei, and he forgot about this little matter after a while.

What he cares about most now is to meet the King of Wei Guosu who defeated Xiong Tuo. The prince of Wei who doesn't look like a fourteen-year-old child in terms of ability and courage.

At the same time, Zhao Hongrun was in the house where he was staying, boredly looking through the books in the study, and from the side, the little girl sheep's tongue apricot was waiting, serving tea and pouring water.

It is undeniable that this young little Lori is indeed well-behaved and docile, so well-behaved that Zhao Hongrun really can't bear to drive her back to Runan.

"Are you really not going back to Runan? …… Don't worry, this king won't kill your family. ”

As soon as this incident was mentioned, Zhao Hongrun gritted his teeth with hatred for the old man, and he didn't know what the old man said to his granddaughter, so that his granddaughter was so afraid of Zhao Hongrun that even if she accidentally broke a bowl, she would cry in horror, begging Zhao Hongrun not to kill her family, and hated Zhao Hongrun sometimes really had the heart to slaughter the sheep's tongue.

"Am I like the kind of guy who will kill people if I don't like it?"

Glancing at the trembling sheep's tongue apricot, Zhao Hongrun was very interested in not asking what he wanted to ask, because it would scare the little girl who was not deeply involved in the world.

But then again, although it feels a little weird, Zhao Hongrun still slowly got used to the feeling of having a little follower by his side.

It is undeniable that having a wholehearted woman by her side is much better than Shen Yu and Zhang Biao's gang of five big and three rough guards, and the tea made by those rough people, not to mention, Zhao Hongrun really can't imagine how he drank it in the past.

The only regret is that this woman who serves him wholeheartedly is too young, so Zhao Hongrun has a faint sense of guilt in her heart every time she sends her.

"Tuk-tuk."

Just when Zhao Hongrun was thinking about how to place the little follower of Yangyu Xing in the future, Zongwei Shen Yu knocked on the door and came in.

I saw that he sneakily took a look into the house first, and saw Zhao Hongrun sitting in the study reading a book, and then the thief walked in with a smile, hating Zhao Hongrun's teeth itching.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Hongrun asked angrily.

To his surprise, Shen Yu didn't make fun of him today, but quickly restrained the smile on his face and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo is here......

"Who's coming?" Zhao Hongrun was stunned when he heard this, and asked in disbelief.

"Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo." Shen Yu repeated affirmation.

"What a guts......

Zhao Hongrun slowly put down the book in his hand.

"Please!" (To be continued.) )
