Jin Chuiduo's Huns' words are not enough to deal with all conversations. Once they deviate from the established peace talks and start chatting casually, Jin Chuiduo's translation is even more clumsy.

Fang Daye's Xiongnu spoke better than her. He served in the frontier for decades, fought with the Huns during war, had contacted the Huns in peacetime, and even made friends.

The Great Shanyu first mentioned the past. He asked the old general if he had participated in the famous Mayi City Battle decades ago. Fang Daye nodded. It was the early war of Emperor Wu. It was after that battle that the Great Chu changed from defense to offensive, and won consecutive battles, and eventually forced the Huns to split into two parts.

During that battle, there were many soldiers and horses on both sides, and they were not convinced. The battle lasted for a full half month. The battlefield gradually extended to the open land in the north. The Huns wanted to introduce the Chu army into a place that was more conducive to cavalry combat. The Chu army was in full swing and really followed closely into the grassland.

Both sides showed their edge, and in the end, the imperial guards were even better, and the Huns were convinced.

The Great Shanyu was still a prince at that time, and Fang Daye was just an ordinary school. He had fifty soldiers under his command, and was not an important role in the war. However, when he recalled his military career, he was most impressed by that battle.

"General Deng Liao used his troops like a god. He said that we would chase him desperately wherever he went. After a while, we would always run into the escaped Huns. That was the first time I made a contribution on the battlefield..."

"The Huns did not escape, lure the enemy to chase, and turn around and fight again when the enemy is tired. This is our usual way of fighting."

"The General has seen through your tricks and is reluctant to leave, and he will not give you a chance to turn around."

As the two of them were talking, they started arguing in the Huns. There was a table in the tent with some cups, pots, bowls and plates on it. The two of them planned a map on it to recreate the battlefield of that year. One tried to prove that the Chu army won a great victory, and the other wanted to show that there were many survivors of the Huns, which was not considered a crushing defeat.

Jin Chuiduo couldn't even get a word, so he could only look at each other with the "General Zhenbei" opposite.

"He doesn't understand us?"

Jin Chuiduo nodded with a cold face.

"My name is Zhang Youcai, who is the close follower of Juanhou." Zhang Youcai smiled and said, "We actually met. When we went north together, I was in the army. Miss Jin doesn't show up very much. Once I went to see you off..."

"I remember you." Jin Chuiduo said.

"Miss Jin's two brothers are okay? When the two countries are fighting, Juehou cannot take special care of them."

"Well, they're good."

"Where is the dragonfly? I've met her more often."

"She is also very good. We have been separated for a while...I think we should stop talking."

Zhang Youcai shut up and occasionally smiled at Jin Chuduo.

"Get the wine!" Da Shanyu shouted, without any anger, but was very excited.

Somehow, the two old men went from arguing to arguing with each other.

Jin Chuiduo came out of the tent, and Zhang Youcai almost got up and followed him out. Suddenly he remembered that he was the general of Zhenbei and sat down in time. Fang Daye walked to the door of the tent and shouted at the Chu soldiers: "Get wine and let the Huns taste the strong wine in Chu!"

Soldiers outside the Great Wall usually carry wine with them. When quenching water, the two soldiers brought a few bags of wine. The Da Shanyu and Fang Daye were drinking and talking while drinking, and became more and more speculative, completely forgot Jin Chuiduo and the "General Zhenbei" behind their minds.

Zhang Youcai finally realized something was wrong, "Did the Great Shanyu... recognize my identity?"

Jin Chuiduo could only draw the same conclusion. Since the real General Zhenbei left, the Great Shanyu had never mentioned peace talks again. When he thought that his betrayal had been seen through, Jin Chuiduo blushed.

The Great Chanyu turned his head and said a few words to Jin Chuiduo, and then he raised his bag to drink with Fang Daye.

"What did he say?" Zhang Youcai asked.

"The old general Fang may have chased the big Shanyu on the battlefield back then."

"Then he is so happy?" Zhang Youcai struggled to understand.

Jin Chuiduo couldn't understand it either. She had heard of the matter of losing grudges when they met, but the Huns and the Chu army were confronting each other, which was far from "removing grudges and grudges".

After each of them drank half a bag of wine, the conversation between the two old men was not so exciting. The Great Shanyu was talking about something seriously. Fang Daye listened and nodded from time to time.

"What did the Great Shanyu say?" Zhang Youcai asked.

"He said... I don't understand it very much, so I'll talk about it when he comes back." The two "hes" in Jin Chuiduo's words refer to different people respectively.

After the Great Chanyu finished speaking, he started drinking and chatting with Fang Daye again.

As time passed little by little, Zhang Youcai was sure that he had been seen through, but he didn't know what to do. He could only hope that his master would come back soon. Jin Chuiduo on the opposite side was calmer than him, standing there without saying a word.

When a Hun guard came in and told a Chu soldier back, Zhang Youcai almost jumped up and cheered.

Han Ruzi walked into the tent without armor and a helmet on her head. She seemed to be a survivor who escaped after her death. Zhang Youcai stood up and finally controlled his mouth without asking any more questions.

The Great Chanyu stood up with great effort, walked slowly, and said a few words to the "little soldier" of the Chu army. Jin Chuduo's face turned redder, and he translated: "The Great Chanyu said, it seems that everything goes well for you. Let's talk about this today. He is very happy and thinks he can continue to talk in the future."

Han Ruzi was stunned, "Has he recognized me?"

"I probably recognized it a long time ago. I said that the Great Shanyu should look at people, not obedient."

Han Ruzi bowed slightly, "Please apologize to the Great Shanyu on my behalf."

Jin Chuiduo said something, and the Great Chanyu smiled and replied a few times, nodded to Han Ruzi, and walked out of the tent. Jin Chuiduo said, "It is not easy for the Xiongnu and the Chu people to establish mutual trust. One party must first express goodwill. The Great Chanyu is willing to start with him."

Jin Chuiduo also walked out of the tent, feeling guilty.

Fang Daye stepped forward and said, "The Great Shanyu told me something. General Zhenbei planned to listen now, or go back to the camp?"

"Return to the camp." Han Ruzi was a little confused about what happened here, but he had to solve the problem of the Chu army first.

When he returned to the south bank, the sky was already dark. Han Ruzi spent most of the day on the road, and there was no peace in his heart. He successfully calmed down the chaos, but this success was shaky and could collapse at any time, and he had no way to prevent it in advance.

Chai Yue gave him a surprise.

The instructions of General Zhenbei and the death of his half-brother Chai Zhi finally made Chai Yue make him determined. He understood that no matter what the facts were, in the eyes of the Chai family, Chai Yue was a complete traitor. He stood on the side of the Chai family's enemies. He had no other way except to follow General Zhenbei.

Most of the more than 80,000 Chu troops were left on the front line by him. Without Grand Sima Yin, Chai Yue went to various battalions to pass orders himself. Although there were many people, he was dispatched without any confusion. No one of the generals and officials who followed him could make mistakes.

The more than 20,000 Northern Army guards who had been guarding before were already impressed by him. They helped Chai Yue the most. Influenced by his comrades, the new 50,000 Northern Army also accepted the young general and temporarily forgot the chaos and death in front of the Central Army's tent.

General Zhenbei returned safely and there was no need to fight. Chai Yue still did his own work and arranged for the army to be stationed or returned to the camp. He was so busy that he had no time to say hello to General Zhenbei from afar.

Han Ruzi needed such a general. Before he returned to the city, he set up a tent on the former site of Liusha City and connected with the soldiers guarding the vanguard line.

There were many things he needed to solve. The first thing was to appoint a new army chief. He could not arrange his confidants at will in the Northern Army and sent people to ask for advice from the Northern Army Commander in the city. Liu Kunsheng, Han Tong and Feng Shili immediately came on horseback. After giving in, they recommended a veteran general of the Northern Army to temporarily lead the army, waiting for the court to approve it.

The new army was working with three generals to interrogate Zhang Yanghao and others overnight to find out what the chaos in the central army's tent was. This was an extremely difficult task. It not only convinced the soldiers but also could not involve them too much. For Liu Kunsheng, this was easier than deploying troops.

It was already midnight after everything was arranged. Han Ruzi couldn't sleep. He invited Fang Daye and asked him what the Da Shanyu had said.

Fang Daye's memories of the war were followed by a word, and he recounted an incredible thing, which was the incident that led to the Western Huns returning to the east and hoped to negotiate with the Great Chu.

The West is not a wilderness, but also many countries and people. The Western Huns occupied a fertile grassland and used it as the foundation to expand to all directions. Especially in the south, the Western countries, the Xiongnu cavalry went deep thousands of miles, defeated dozens of countries, forcing all countries to pay tribute, and lived a very good life. They had no intention of returning east to compete with the Chu army.

About ten years ago, a group of slaves in a small country rebelled. The Huns did not take it seriously and sent a small number of cavalry to assist in the suppression. However, to everyone's expectations, the slaves won and killed all the Hun cavalry and the princes and nobles of the country.

The winning slaves expanded to neighboring countries and won one after another, but the Great Shanyu did not pay attention to it in time. The previous victory came so easily that the Huns generally despise Western countries, let alone a group of slaves without names.

But these slaves attacked cities and plundered land and their power quickly expanded. Instead of just demanding tribute like the Huns, they directly occupied the city, from princes to people, and had only two choices: either join the army or accept slavery.

Almost all countries choose the former.

The strangest thing is that these slaves called themselves the Huns, and are said to be descendants of the Huns who moved west earlier. Their language is indeed very similar to that of the Huns.

At the beginning, these slaves were very polite to the Huns in the north, willing to worship the Huns as their sect leader, send the dead Huns back, and compensated a large amount of gold and silver.

The Great Shanyu accepted gold and silver, which made him regret that he still watched the wars of the surrounding countries coldly, and planned to choose the most appropriate time to wipe out these slaves in one fell swoop, which made him even more regretful.

In just five years, the slave army conquered most countries and began to challenge the sect leader, but they were no longer just slave army or small country, but a huge army with cavalry, infantry, chariots and other branches of military service.

The Western Huns fought and lost three consecutive games. Finally, they realized that the enemy they were facing was no longer the weak country they used to be.

The Great Shanyu led his tribe to move eastward. As soon as he stopped, the enemy would follow him. After another five years, the Western Huns returned to their hometown, bordered the Great Chu, and conquered the Eastern Huns.

The whole process was indeed incredible. Han Ruzi found it difficult to believe that Fang Daye tended to think that the Great Chanyu was telling the truth, "Those slaves called themselves descendants of the Huns, and their leaders claimed to be 'the great Chanyu established by gods and ghosts, respected by all the kings and worshipped by the kings', and everyone called him 'the Gods and ghosts'."

It turns out that this is what the so-called "haunted" in the West is like. Han Ruzi felt it was necessary to see the Great Shanyu again. What he cared about was not the threat far away from the West, but the situation in front of him. (To be continued.)
