How did Deng Cui kidnap the concubine of the Hun King? No one knew that although the Huns claimed that it was a violent kidnapping, the King of Donghai felt that the concubine was most likely voluntary. Deng Cui's figure and appearance were all first-class, and he was eloquent. On the first day he arrived at the Hun camp, he attracted the attention of everyone around the Hun King.

But no one would have thought that he would really dare to do such a thing. The Huns would have thought that, and the King of East China would have thought that he would have almost died because of this.

The Hun woman was good at riding. She put on the clothes of ordinary soldiers, and accompanied Deng Cui and four followers, and carried more than twenty horses. She left the camp shortly after the banquet that night. She was not seen until the morning of the next day. She had long disappeared. The Hun king sent more than a dozen pursuers, but he still found no clues until the King of Donghai left the camp.

"Deng Cui didn't even give me any hint!" Donghai King was still scared, his voice was still trembling, "I ran away when I said I was running away. He wanted to kill me, but he deliberately wanted to kill me!"

Cui Tengshi couldn't help but laughed, "What a Deng Cui. While escaping, he still didn't forget to use the hands of the Huns to punish the traitors for His Majesty. I will meet him. I must give him three cups."

King Donghai did not dare to stand up, and knelt on the ground and said angrily: "I am not a traitor!" Then he turned to the emperor and changed into a serious face. "Although the plan to explore the way failed, I did not go there in vain and inquire about a lot of important news."

King Donghai hid behind the seriousness and observed carefully, hoping to see a little emotion from the emperor's calm face, but he was disappointed. The emperor was neither angry nor happy, as if he didn't care about the existence of King Donghai at all.

Han Ruzi was thinking about Deng Cui. So far, he had tried every means to send out many people, most of which had no news. Zhuo Ruhe, who had been highly expected, had been arrested. Although Zhang Yin, the Marquis of Piyuan outside the Great Wall, was in charge, but he was a veteran who would not easily fall into the trap of the Huns. But he probably could not come up with a surprising plan to save the emperor. As for the Chu army in the south, the number of people was small and restrained by the Linzi rebels, he could not count on it. Deng Cui suddenly became the greatest hope for Jincheng and the emperor.

But Deng Cui acted erraticly and took the principle of adapting to circumstances. The enemy could not predict and his own people could not guess what he would do next.

Han Ruzi sighed in his heart. He still had to think of more ways to protect himself. His eyes finally set on the face of Donghai King, "What important news have you heard?"

The King of Donghai was feeling a little relaxed and was about to answer, Cui Teng said, "Let's go. Your Majesty, let him tell me how he got the news first. The Huns just put him back, which is a bit strange..."

"What's strange about it? The King of the Huns didn't know my true identity at all and thought I was an ordinary noble." The King of Donghai was really afraid that he would die under Cui Teng's mouth. After defending, he would talk about the source of the news first. "The King of the Huns had a general interpreter who used to be a Chu native. I spent a lot of thoughts to please him and got the news from him."

Han Ruzi raised his hand and signaled that King Donghai could continue.

King Donghai was ready, "According to the general translation and my guess, the reason why the Great Shanyu sent people to negotiate was actually ulterior motives."

"It's better you guess less." Cui Teng just refused to let go of King Donghai.

The King of Donghai glanced at him angrily and continued: "The Linzi rebels colluded with the Huns and could not stand up, hoping to get support from the Huns. However, the north was not pacified, and the Great Shanyu was unwilling to divide his troops south, so he only sent 10,000 cavalry to Linzi. He thought he could cooperate with the rebels inside and outside and defeat the Chu army while the chaos was in trouble, but he failed."

"The Huns were defeated?" Han Ruzi asked. He was still very confident in Chai Yue.

"I dare not lie to Your Majesty. It is related to the face of the Huns. The general translator refuses to reveal the truth, but I guess." The King of Donghai glared at Cui Teng again, "Those ten thousand cavalry must have made a bad progress, and the Linzi rebels were unable to break out of the siege, so the Great Shanyu urgently needed a ceasefire to free up his hands to resolve the war in the south."

Han Ruzi thought for a while, "No, if the war is in handicap now, the Chu army in Mayi City will not enter the pass, and the ambush plan of the main Huns will be affected. For the Huns, the north is more important than the south. Moreover, it is easy to disrupt the deployment of the Chu army of Qi, and it is more effective to break through Jincheng than to negotiate."

"Uh... I heard that anyway, the most important reason for the Great Shanyu requesting peace talks is not in Mayi City, but in Linzi." Donghai King was also a little confused.

Cui Teng lowered his voice, but let the King of Donghai hear it, "Why do I think this is the news that the Huns deliberately leaked?"

King Donghai was able to compete with Cui Teng before, but now he can only glar at him.

Han Ruzi did not accept Cui Teng's words and asked the King of East China: "If you accept the peace talks, you may be the evil plan of the Grand Shanyu, and you may anger the Right King outside the city. In this way, should I refuse the peace talks and drive the envoy out of the city?"

The tears on King Donghai's face had dried up. He smiled and took the opportunity to get up and walked closer to the emperor. He stopped until the guards and eunuchs showed warning expressions. He said, "I have a clever plan."

"Who is the clever plan for? Your Majesty or the Huns?" Cui Teng asked.

The King of Donghai ignored Cui Teng this time. He had lost most of the emperor's trust and had to fight back as soon as possible. "Accept peace talks, but there is no stop to fight."

"Um?"

"The purpose of the Great Shanyu is to allow His Majesty to issue an order to temporarily truce the war. Peace talks are just an excuse. Our best way is to use this excuse to gain some time, but we will never issue orders to truce the war."

"How many days can this be delayed?" Cui Teng asked disdainfully.

"It's time to delay for a day. Then find a way to find out what happened to Qi State, which made the Great Shanyu so nervous. He would rather give up the plan to lure the Chu army in Mayi City for a while than to negotiate with His Majesty?"

"There is no reason at all, you guessed it."

King Donghai forced himself not to look at Cui Teng and only stared at the emperor. He was indeed guessing many things. If he guessed correctly, he would make a contribution in front of the emperor. He would not dare to think about it if he could not guess accurately.

"Transfer to the Xiongnu envoy Jin Chunzhong." Han Ruzi ordered an eunuch to take the order to retreat.

King Donghai and Cui Teng both looked at the emperor, but Han Ruzi just refused to express his opinion.

The King of Donghai said a little embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, can I change my clothes? The Huns' things are so stinking."

"Go."

King Donghai thanked him and hurriedly ran out. Cui Teng saw him disappear and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Hua Bin and the others' mission is to assassinate. King Donghai might have received the same task. Be careful and be careful. Just keep him and Hua Bin and the others together."

"Beware of your guard, but don't need to be detained for now." Han Ruzi turned his head and looked at Cui Teng, "Leave this matter to you, and you will be on guard against me in the future."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Cui Teng took the order happily and was about to leave.

"Why do you go?"

"Start at Tokai Neptune."

"That doesn't need to be every moment."

"Oh." Cui Teng was a little disappointed.

When King Donghai guessed that when he was not here, Cui Teng would slander, so he came back very quickly and changed into his former clothes, but his face was still sweating and he didn't have time to clean it.

Jin Chunzhong arrived not long after.

"I decided to accept the peace talks."

As soon as this said, Jin Chunzhong kowtowed and King Donghai breathed a sigh of relief, but Cui Teng frowned, thinking that the emperor was convinced by King Donghai.

Han Ruzi actually made this decision a long time ago. Now he doesn’t have many choices. The speculations of King Donghai are just for him to give him some reference. "You can leave the city early tomorrow morning and go back to tell the Great Chanyu: I have sent the second envoy of the chief and deputy, and the Great Chanyu should have met. The meeting between me and the Great Chanyu will be agreed upon at their discretion."

"When will Your Majesty issue an order to cease the war? This is something that the Great Shanyu cares about." Jin Chunzhong must first complete his mission.

"Next time you bring an envoy from Great Chu to Jincheng to discuss the truce."

"Yes." Jin Chunzhong kowtowed again and said, "Wei Chen was originally from Chu, and was wandering outside the border. He had to act as an envoy of the Huns. Wei Chen would rather stay in the city to serve His Majesty."

Jin Chunzhong had expressed this intention many times, but Han Ruzi was even more unacceptable at this time, "The time has not come yet. No matter what, you are now an envoy of the Huns, which is related to the national system. I cannot keep you."

Jin Chunzhong had no choice but to kowtow again and get up and leave.

The next morning, the envoy of the Huns left. The Right King of the Huns learned from this that the Emperor of Great Chu was not sick at all. He realized that he had been deceived and became even more angry. He sent troops to challenge him all day long, but with the strict order of the Great Shanyu, he did not dare to attack the city directly.

The guardian of the city did not dare to be careless. Fan Chishan lived on the city wall and did not even leave to sleep. He woke up on call, for fear of being caught off guard.

Han Ruzi also had several times to bench the city, and had a premonition that the Right Xian King of the Huns might try every means to attack the city during the few days when the envoy went and went back.

Only one day later, his premonition became a reality.

Instead of directly attacking the city, the Huns sent a support army into the city.

It was afternoon, and smoke and dust were rolling in the southwest. A Chu army was struggling to kill Jincheng. Although the Huns were also intercepting, they were not very careful and had few people. This Chu army was getting closer and closer to the city.

Fan Chuanshan was worried that this was the trick of the Huns, so he ordered the city gate to be strictly guarded and not allowed to be opened. However, after seeing the flag of the Chu army outside the city, he was shocked and immediately sent someone to notify the emperor.

This Chu army had thousands of people, some of which looked like the private part of Juehou who was incorporated into the Suwei Army.

Han Ruzi immediately climbed the city to check. At this time, reinforcements were only a few miles away from Jincheng. Han Ruzi could even recognize some soldiers. That was indeed his original troops. The leader was Chao Hua and the eunuch Cai Xinghai.

He immediately ordered the door to be opened to welcome him. This was different from the previous support situation. The Right Xian King would make excuses to attack the city no matter what. Instead of sacrificing the support army for nothing, it would be better to welcome him into the city.

The city gate opened, and Fan Chuanshan personally led his troops out of the city to welcome reinforcements. At this moment, the Xiongnu people from all directions took action and followed the reinforcements.

Before fighting wits with the Great Shanyu, Han Ruzi must fight bravely with the besieged Huns. If you can't hold on to this battle, there is no way to talk about it. (To be continued.)8
