In the first year of Yuanting, late at night on the eighth day of the first month of October, dawn had not yet arrived, and the attack of the Mad King's army on Chigu Castle had lasted all day.Although Atami does not freeze all year round, there is also rain and snow in winter, which is not good for the attackers, and even the fire attacks that can be used for wooden castles on weekdays have no effect.In addition, Fu Jiezi led the soldiers to garrison, and Princess Xie Wei took precautions, hoarded a large number of crossbow arrows and arrows early, and strengthened the defense in more than 20 days after the death of the fat king.The Wusun people, who were not good at siege warfare, tried to attack twice, suffering hundreds of casualties, but did not achieve any results.After all, Akatani is not a turtle, and the city is a Han army rather than a city soldier.This mad king was witty, probably listening to his brother Wu Yutu tell the horror of the Han army defeating tens of thousands of Wusun light cavalry with 2,000, so he used a trick to attack the heart, so that the translator chanted under the city.The general meaning is to reaffirm the traditional friendly and good-neighborly relations between Han and Wu, and say that the mad king is willing to continue the peaceful alliance between Kunmi and Han in the past dynasties.This battle is an internal affair of Wusun, I hope that the Han will not interfere, he only targets Yuan Guimi and the Wusun nobles who have not yet surrendered, as long as the Han army is willing to evacuate Chigu City, the mad king will definitely let them go, will not hurt them at all, and also give horses and food.Fu Jiezi was naturally not fooled, but these words reached the ears of Princess Xie Wu.In the brightly lit Xijun Palace, after Princess Xie Wu inspected the wounded, she was silently meditating in front of a spiritual seat, but Mrs.
Feng reported that Chang Hui was visiting.Xie thought about it for a while, and let Feng Yan and a few attendants stay at the door of the hall, where they could see her and Chang Hui, but they couldn't hear the conversation.He sat upright, covering the spiritual position behind him, and when Chang Hui came to visit, he said, "What happened to Doctor Chang late at night?"
”Chang Hui said: "There is no him, but in the evening, the crossbowmen under the Marquis of Yiyang wanted to shoot the mad king Yichang who came to the city gate to persuade him to surrender, but the princess stopped it, saying that she would not kill the messenger, and finally let him go back. ”He raised his head and looked directly into the eyes of Xie Yue: "Could it be that Lord Chu believes the deceitful words of the mad king, and he can't negotiate peace with him?"
”Xie Wei avoided Chang Hui's gaze: "My son has been defeated, we are trapped in the lonely city, what else can we do except for peace talks?"
”Chang Hui shook his head: "To this extent, it's already endless, how can you talk about it?"
If the princess does this, it will shake the heart of the army. ”"Muddy is ambitious."
Xie Wei knew that he couldn't hide his heart from this old man, she was too familiar with him, so she simply told Chang Hui her judgment: "Nimi is definitely not willing to be a puppet of the Huns, and after seizing the position of Kunmi, let Wusun continue the position of the fat king in the Han and Huns, which is beneficial to him." ”"So what does the princess want to talk about?"
Chang Hui asked.Xie Wu didn't answer directly, let go of the body, and pointed to the spiritual position behind him: "This is the spirit card of Princess Xijun, although I haven't seen her, I have been lighting a lamp for her and continuing the blood food, after all, she and I are both princesses from the Han Dynasty, and both are surnamed Liu." ”"Thirty years ago, Princess Xijun didn't want to marry Cen Chen, the grandson of the Wolf King, and asked the Han for help, but Emperor Xiaowu said that it was customary.""
So Xijun married Cen Chen, and after she died, I filled the position.After Cen Chen, the fat king married me again and accepted his widowed sister-in-law and stepmother, which is also the custom of Wusun. ”"What I can do is to marry Nimi as a stepmother.It would be better for him to keep me than to kill me.In this way, he could end the war, persuade him to continue the strategy of the fat king, and minimize the losses of the Han in the Western Regions. ”When she said this, Xie Wei gritted her teeth, of course she hated the mud, hated the person who killed Weng Guimi, and knew that she would be humiliated if she went, but so what?
When she drove Ruohu out of Akaya Castle with her slaves, she did not believe in her fate and would rather die than give in.When the Han army first arrived, she was full of confidence, but the fiasco of Yuan Guimi told Xie that there was no miracle.Now that her son is defeated and lives and dies, the sun has set, and after struggling for half a life, she suddenly found that her fate is the same as that of Xijun, which has been doomed from the moment she left Dahan, and has not changed at all.No matter how strong your heart is, you will feel tired.Whether as an old man or a messenger, Chang Hui felt extremely sad about the decision to solve his worries, and strongly persuaded: "This time is different from the past, why should the princess sacrifice herself again!"
”"Doctor Chang is wrong."
Xie Wei said with a smile: "I know that there is a saying among the Han people in the Western Regions. ”"Saying that I am a great Han and a pro-Wusun is like a brightly colored sacrifice on the altar.""
But that's because everyone doesn't understand the truth and praises me too highly.""
After the death of Princess Xijun, Xiaowu looked for a woman in the clan and relatives, but no one wanted to go, and the reason why Liu Jiewu asked Zongzheng to be a princess was not to share the worries of the Son of Heaven.Instead, he wanted to take this opportunity to let his family get rid of the identity of the sin king of the Chu domain. ”She retracted her hand into her sleeve and hid it behind Wusun, still weaving the cocoon left on her fingers by herself all the year round: "It is also for myself, so that I don't have to sleep all night and weave and toil, in order to have meat to eat every day, in order to get brocade clothes and wealth." ”"Now my sons and daughters are all princes and princesses, who is disrespectful in the Western Regions?
When Yaoguang got married, he was also generously gifted by the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, and my brother's family also had a good life in Chang'an, and my niece and nephew were husbands, and even entered Shanglin Lefu to learn etiquette and music with the ladies of the Sangong and Jiuqing families. ”"This is what I got after I came to Wusun, isn't it better than living a miserable life in the poor alleys of Chang'an?"
Xie Wei tried her best to make herself like an ordinary lady who was satisfied with all this: "So Xie Wei did this, but it was an exchange, I didn't want Chang'an at all, I didn't want to be a big man" Chang Hui was silent, more than 20 years, Xie Wu is still the same, when lying, his eyes will glance to the side, and his voice will be louder.Her voice was low, and this time it was her turn to tell the truth: "On the contrary, the hundreds of wedding slaves who accompanied Princess Xijun and me to Wusun, all of them were hard-working people, forced to migrate, and parted with relatives and friends, and accompanied me in Wusun for decades. ”"And now, because I insisted on accompanying my son to defend Atami, I rejected the evacuation strategy proposed by Dr.
Chang and Yiyang Hou, so that everyone and I were in danger."
Xie Wei bowed to Chang Hui for a long time, and his words were full of apologies: "And Dr.
Chang, the Marquis of Yiyang, and the soldiers who crossed the mountains and mountains to save me were also trapped in a lonely city because of my own mistakes. ”The Han army is very strong, and can break 2,000 cavalry in the field, but in the face of a siege by an enemy army ten times its size, even if it holds out until spring, the losses will be heavy, and will reinforcements really come?
Will it repeat the defeat of Xiaowu in his later years.Xie Wu didn't want them to sacrifice for themselves anymore, so he said: "Xie Wei is ashamed in my heart, I can't repay it, you accompany me to help me, now, it's my turn to stand up and end this lost war in the easiest way, let my slaves return home, and let the soldiers go home." ”"When the princess said this, did she want to kill Chang Hui and the thousands of Han family sons in the city?"
Chang Hui was really angry, he got up and took a few steps forward, crossing the appropriate distance between the Empress Dowager Wusun and the foreign minister, and his voice was also emotional."
Solve your worries, Chang Hui was detained by the Huns back then, and it was even rumored that Su Gong and I were dead, so I couldn't stop you from being a Han and a pro-Wusun.But today, Chang Hui will never let you be humiliated again!
”"Doctor Chang."
Xie Wei noticed the change in Chang Hui's title, and said solemnly: "Please pay attention to your behavior, I am no longer the daughter and grandson of the King of Chang'an Qili, but the princess of Dahan, the Empress Dowager Wusun, who has three sons and two daughters for the fat king." ”"And you are no longer a false official of the mission that no one knows, but a doctor of Guanglu, a messenger of festivals."
Her words are heartless and practical: "These words with personal feelings should not come out of the mouth of Dr.
Chang, that is insulting the Han Festival you hold!"
”"I don't know what the court is thinking about, deliberately letting Doctor Chang be the envoy, but remember, you are not An Guo Shaoji, and I am not the queen!"
Queen Hui of Nanyue is a Han Chinese, and before marrying Zhao Yingqi, the third monarch of Nanyue who went to Chang'an as a proton, she had a love affair with Anguo Shaoji.After the death of Zhao Yingqi, Queen Xuan became the queen mother.Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty specially sent An Guo Shaoji and the final army to send an envoy to South Vietnam, and successfully served the Queen Mother of South Vietnam, so that she could plan the affairs of South Vietnam's internal subordinates, although this matter was finally broken by the rebellion of South Yue Minister Lu Jia.Chang Hui knew that he was out of shape, so he had to take a few steps back.Yes, the torrent of the times has divided them.The torrent of the times reunited them.But he can only be affectionate and polite.Chang Hui sighed in his heart, if they could die together in Akaya City, it would be a good story."
Lord Chu is right."
Chang Hui calmed down: "I am Chang Hui, and Jun is to relieve worries, which is naturally different from Anguo Shaoji and Queen Xu." ”"So I know that the Lord of Chu is by no means a person who speaks lightly, and he must not do anything about surrender in peace talks.""
The Lord of Chu should also know that Chang Hui is here, it is based on the public heart, and the mission given to me by the general is to protect the Lord of Chu, which is related to the national body of the Han Dynasty!
If the princess is humiliated, the big man will be humiliated!
”He pointed to the Han soldiers who were standing guard outside: "Everyone who comes here either takes the initiative to apply, for the sake of money, for the sake of rewarding the marquis, or has heard of the deeds of the princess, and takes the initiative to invite Ying to participate in the war."
People who are afraid of death will not cross the desert snow mountains to this desperate region.Not only will Chang Hui dissuade the princess, but every soldier outside will stop him with death!
”It was discovered when he was inspecting the wounds and illnesses that although Yuan Gui was defeated and Akatani was besieged, the Han army did not fall into despair.She saw Fu Jiezi leaning against the wooden wall and snoring, not afraid of the arrow clanging outside; Feng Fengshi silently recorded his observations on the slip by the light of the torch; Sun Qian was still talking and laughing while gnawing on the food, and Zheng Ji was shivering while muttering that this Chigu was much colder than Huiji.It sounded homesick, but none of them looked hopeless, as if they were besieged, and being outnumbered was just routine for them.This is Fu Jiezi's soldiers, are they Ren Hong's robes?
Chang Hui said: "Please also ask the princess to trust us, and please believe that the Han reinforcements will be able to break through the Xiongnu and reach Atami, and Daoyuan will definitely come, maybe he is not far from here." ”Xie Wei was a little puzzled, she had only met Ren Hong once after all, and she saw that he was an excellent young man, brave and strategic, and able to capture his daughter's heart, but his wisdom and courage really reached this level of supernatural ability?"
Obviously, my son-in-law doesn't have any news, and he doesn't even know the whereabouts, why did Doctor Chang and Fu Gong expect him to travel thousands of miles to help?"
She asked Fu Jiezi, but the old man was a silent guy in front of the woman, and only replied at that time: "I just know." ”At this moment, Chang Hui laughed and said, "It seems that the Lord of Chu understands your son-in-law far less than me and the Marquis of Yiyang."
This conversation made Xie worry feel a block.Although the two suns that illuminate her life have set one after another, as long as she is willing to raise her head, she can find that there is still warmth and hope everywhere around.That's Chang Hui, it's Feng Yan, and it's the son-in-law who came to help.There are also hundreds of loyal servants who are willing to die together, and more than 2,000 good sons from the mother state who protect her."
It's to relieve my worries and show my timidity, and I'm ashamed."
Xie apologizes to Chang Hui, and regardless of the outcome, she decides to believe it again.Choose Hope!
At this moment, Mrs.
Feng, who was standing by the door with a few slaves and looked over from time to time, heard the report from outside, and immediately hurried over and interrupted the conversation between the two: "Princess, Doctor Chang." ”"There's something going on outside the city!"
Outside Akaya Castle, dozens of large clay kettles were filled with salt water from Atami and placed on earthen stoves, and the pine wood crackled and burned, making the kettles boiling hot, which was the spoils of war captured by the Mad King from the military camp of Yuan Guimi.The day's assault had not worked, and there were many casualties, which caused the mad king's good and bad rage to fare up again.He was extremely anxious, and in order to intimidate the defenders in the city, he actually tied up several captured Yuan Guimi's cronies to the front of the city and beheaded them, and then tied their heads to the tail of a horse and dragged them around until they were out of shape.Even more cruel was still to come, and the mad king gave an order, and threw dozens of prisoners captured in the battle a few days ago into the kettle and cooked them alive with boiling water in front of everyone in Akatani Castle.In this scene, even the nobles on the mad king's side couldn't stand it anymore and turned their heads over.And the mad king drank wine, and had nowhere to vent, when he saw that a noble man could not bear to see it, he actually had him arrested, and forced him to pour down the terrible-colored human broth, and looked at the noble man who vomited and laughed."
When you catch Yuan Guimi, let you and the others drink his broth!"

The mad king is still the mad king, and the reason at the time of battle has been replaced by arrogance after the great victory.But what he didn't expect was that the Han people in Chigu City were not shaken by this terrible scene, Fu Jiezi watched the mad king's performance like watching an idiot, Feng Fengshi was even more happy, and said directly: "This mad king is helping the defenders in the city to set up a heart to die!"
”Indeed, the most vulnerable link in the city, the 1,000 Shacha soldiers under Liu Wannian, turned pale and had no luck: such a brutal enemy threatened to avoid death if he left the city, who would believe it!
But the Mad King didn't seem to realize this, and continued to let the translator ride close to Akiti Castle on his horse to persuade him to surrender!
Probably because the princess was not going to shoot him in the evening, the interpreter was even more daring, leaning closer with a torch, pointing to the atrocities outside the city and threatening: those who do not surrender will be cooked and killed!
In the shout of the interpreter, a figure approached the battlements, it was Princess Xie Wu, she had been looking at the captives worriedly, but there was no figure of Yuan Guimi and the right general.But the atrocities outside the city made Xie Wei's heart more and more angry, she stepped forward a few steps, stretched out her hand to take the crossbow machine in Zheng Ji's hand, and under the slightly surprised gaze of Fu Jiezi and Chang Hui, she skillfully wound it, took it up and aimed at the translator, and shot an arrow!
The interpreter's horse was thrown off by an arrow, and he was so frightened that he threw down his torch, held his head, and fled backwards in embarrassment, with the voice of the princess of relief behind him."
Go back and tell the muddy boys.""
If he wants to fight, then he will fight!
