Chapter 546 Return

The gods and ghosts, the great Shanyu, actually fled like this. Han Ruzi was furious. He didn't want to escape and still had to attack at night. Although the number of people was far less than that of the Huns, he was still not afraid.?

"The evil is the Great Khan of the Huns. If he lets the enemy chief go, he will be punished. Jin Chunzhong, you should go to the Huns camp immediately and say that I miss my younger brother and will visit him in person tonight."

"But Donghai King has been taken away and is not in the camp." Jin Chunzhong did not react.

Han Ruzi sneered, "Of course, so the Great Shanyu would personally explain to me when he was panicked. What I want is this moment."

Jin Chunzhong was stunned, looked at Zhao Ruosu in the corner, and said blankly: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty wants..."

"I'll be an assassin."

Jin Chunzhong rarely expressed his objection to the emperor, but then shook his head vigorously, "No, Your Majesty, the Huns already have the will to attack the camp. Isn't your Majesty going to fall into the trap?"

"The Great Khan of the Huns did not react so quickly. This person was not strong in his will and was easily influenced by others when doing things. If I suddenly visited, it would be beyond his expectations. He could not make a quick decision and would definitely meet me and want to kill me away with words."

Jin Chunzhong recognized the emperor's judgment on the character of the Great Khan of the Xiongnu, but he could not agree with the emperor's adventure plan. He was about to persuade him, but the emperor said: "Jin Chunzhong, execute the order."

Jin Chunzhong felt a little nervous, and he didn't dare to talk too much anymore, so he bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I, I'll go now."

"Wait a moment, the generals in the camp will arrive soon. When I arrange some things, I will take the guards to the Huns camp with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards outside the tent preached: "Your Majesty, the generals are here."

Zhao Ruosu took a few steps forward and said to the outside before the emperor: "Please wait a few generals."

It was unimaginable to make a decision before the emperor, even when the emperor's position was not too stable, and it was an unimaginable usurpation and bold move. Jin Chunzhong was extremely surprised and stared at Zhao Ruosu.

Zhao Ruosu was not afraid, so he turned around and said to the emperor: "When will your Majesty stop using strange tricks?"

"Isn't the strange move good?" Han Ruzi was not so surprised and was not angry.

"Okay, but it cannot last long, unless there is no better choice, it cannot be used frequently. In this battle with the West, Your Majesty won a great victory in Guanzhong, which is a strange move. General Deng went deep into the West, and it was even more strange moves. However, the one who really defeated the enemy was the Chu army outside the frontier. Without their restraint, the so-called strange moves would be used."

"I understand what you mean. Now there is no better choice. It is very disrespectful for the Huns to let the enemy chief go. How could the Chu army endure such humiliation? Besides, my strategy seems to be risky, but in fact it is almost certain. Once the Huns lose the Great Shanyu, they will immediately fall into chaos and lose without fighting."

"The problem is that if you are an ordinary person, you only look at the 'nine stability'. Your Majesty is the emperor. If you have the 'one mistake', can your Majesty be worthy of the previous 'nine stability'? The Great Chu finally stabilized, Your Majesty is rich in spring and autumn, and there will be no more rebels within decades. Many previous problems will be solved. The revival of the Great Chu is just around the corner. If Your Majesty has a 'one mistake' in this ice and snow, the prince is young, the queen and the queen are disagreeing, and there is another open and secret struggle, the ministers are at a loss and hopeless revival."

Jin Chunzhong couldn't believe his ears. Zhao Ruosu was originally a guilty person and had just been rescued from the enemy camp. It would be fine if he was not grateful. He even "lost" the emperor. Everyone in the world called the emperor "Long Live", but he only gave it to "decades".

What made Jin Chunzhong even more unbelievable was that the emperor, who had already said the truth, was not angry, but instead lowered his head to ponder.

Zhao Ruosu refused to stop when he saw the good news and said, "There is another problem with the so-called strange trick. Everything is decided by Your Majesty. Instead, the ministers hand over to rule. If this continues, Your Majesty will have to govern the world by his own strength. Therefore, I have to ask again, has Your Majesty figured out how to be the emperor of the word "Just"?"

Han Ruzi pondered for a moment and said, "Let the generals come in."

Jin Chunzhong did not dare to disobey the emperor at all, so he hurried to the door to summon him.

The five generals continued to enter the tent and respectfully saluted the emperor, not knowing the debates that had been in the past.

Han Ruzi talked about the situation in front of him and did not mention the plan to assassinate the Great Shanyu of the Xiongnu, but solicited opinions from the generals.

The five generals looked at each other, and 6 continued to speak, and they all suggested retreating at night.

Han Ruzi asked again how to withdraw his troops, "Once the Huns retreated, they would inevitably pursue them. The Chu army was already fewer, and it was even more difficult to resist the Hun cavalry on the way back."

The five generals were not panicked and made suggestions: there were many torches in the camp to confuse the Huns, and at least ensure that they were not awakened before dawn; the troops were divided into two teams, and the emperor led a few light cavalry in front of them, so as to contact the Chu army a hundred miles away as soon as possible. Due to previous arrangements, there were multiple Chu army camps on the way back, and the camps protected each other and were not afraid of the attack of the Huns.

Jin Chunzhong also became brave and said, "I will go to the Huns' camp and try my best to delay the Great Shanyu."

After everyone finished speaking, Han Ruzi carefully weighed the pros and cons. He had once relied on the court and let the prime minister and others take charge of the affairs. The result was not very satisfactory. Could it be that after the great victory, he would have to repeat the old mistakes?

Han Ruzi glanced at Zhao Ruosu, turned his head to the generals and said, "Just follow your plan, and immediately send an order to get out as soon as possible. Jin Chunzhong, you don't have to go to the Huns camp. It's too dangerous and useless."

"With my sister here, there will be no danger. As Your Majesty said, the Great Khan of the Huns was hesitant. He heard that His Majesty had left, and he might give up the pursuit to avoid breaking with the Great Chu."

Once Han Ruzi made a decision, he would not drag it down. "Okay, go and greet me with the Great Khan of the Huns for me, and say that I have to leave if I have urgent matters. The Great Chu and the Huns join forces to defeat the powerful enemy. The deeper the brotherhood, I hope that one day I can drink happily. Meeting hastily and there is no way to be polite. All things in the Chu army camp should be treated as minor rituals, so please ask the Great Khan to store them."

"Yes, your Majesty."

Just two quarters of an hour later, the Chu soldiers led their horses to quietly leave the camp, leaving tents, torches and other items in place, walked out for several miles, and boarded the horse and galloped.

Han Ruzi did not leave the team, but only sent a small number of scouts to the front. He himself was still with the army and would never let the team get confused.

On the afternoon of the third day, the figures of Huns appeared in the north, not many, and it seemed that they were scouts who came to inquire about the situation.

After obtaining the emperor's consent, the generals in the army ordered all soldiers to dismount and walk, with bows and crossbows full of strings to the outside world, and remain vigilant.

The Huns were increasing, and the number was already above the Chu army, but they did not attack.

On the fifth day, the Chu army was forced to feed on war horses, and finally ushered in the Chu army in the rear. The two armies merged, with more than 4,000 troops, and the number was still weak, but the Huns retreated and did not dare to press forward step by step.

The soldiers were still nervous, but Han Ruzi had already felt relieved. The Great Khan of the Huns wanted to kill the Emperor of Great Chu in anger. After losing the opportunity, he became hesitant. Obviously, he wanted to get along with the big Chu and the West.

Jin Chunzhong's eloquence seems to be good.

Another group of Chu troops came to welcome the emperor, and the Huns completely retreated. Before leaving, they sent envoys to escort the emperor, claiming that they were ordered by the Great Shanyu to escort the emperor. Seeing that the emperor was no longer in danger, they did not continue to send it. The Great Shanyu thanked the emperor for the gifts left by the emperor and gave him a batch of food such as wine, meat, cheese, etc.

The food was delivered very promptly, so Han Ruzi of course accepted it and sent someone to express his gratitude to the Xiongnu envoy, without mentioning the gods and ghosts.

The Great Chu and the Huns did not break openly.

Han Ruzi understood that the Great Chu and the Huns could not become real "brothers" in the end, and the thousand-year war would continue.

The return journey was relatively slow, and a few days later, the Chu army welcomed the first Western troops to return home.

Unlike the Huns, Western soldiers were only grateful to the Emperor of Chu, but had no dissatisfaction. They stopped far away. The generals came to the Chu military camp to pay homage to the emperor, as humble as slaves.

The Chu army stayed for several days, took a break, and supplemented supplies.

Han Ruzi had another important thing to do. On the top of a nearby mountain, he sacrificed the heavens with the etiquette of the Great Chu. Western generals also sacrificed the gods in their own tribes, and then worshiped the emperor and formally praised them.

The Western army passed by in batches, and Han Ruzi successively enfeoffed more than 70 princes and made a vow together to eliminate all the remnants of the gods and ghosts. After anyone obtains the head of the gods and ghosts, he will send it to the Great Chu even if he is thousands of miles away. If anyone surrenders to the enemy, he will share the hatred of the countries in the world.

The Huns were not mentioned in the oath.

The Great Shanyu might have felt panic and sent his uncle to sue the crime, claiming that the gods and ghosts, the Great Shanyu had already fled while the Huns were unprepared, and the Huns were pursuing and hoping to participate in the oath.

Han Ruzi agreed to let the Xiongnu envoys represent the Great Shanyu to swear on the top of the mountain. He understood that war was not a temporary matter, and it was not the time to turn against the Xiongnu.

It was already the New Year when Han Ruzi returned to Shattered Iron City. He met with all the generals and rewarded them according to their merits. At the same time, he transferred a large number of troops back to the pass.

The north is still cold, but the capital has begun to thaw. In the palace, the court and the people have returned to the city. Looking back on the previous crisis, it seems like a different life.

When the emperor arrived, he received an unprecedented grand welcome. The prime minister led all officials to Yingfeng Village to pick him up, kneeling in the dust, no one dared to look up to him.

In Baiqiao Town, the ministers congratulated each other again, and the people almost came out of the city and knelt on both sides of the road, and the sound of long live continued.

When he returned to the capital, he had another reward for his merits and practiced his merits. At the same time, he had to formulate a plan to fight back against the gods and ghosts. Han Ruzi had promised the Western army that he would send a large army to the West within three years.

After everything was done, Han Ruzi fell ill. It was not serious. It was just that the chest injury had not been cured and needed rest and treatment. He was most concerned about Deng Cui and Huang Pugong.

Thousands of miles away, a lonely Chu army was walking around, hesitating whether to continue moving forward or return to his homeland.

Above the vast sea, another Chu army had already seen six places, but did not decide whether to land.

Jin Chunzhong, who was stranded in the Hun army for a long time, finally set out on his return journey, carrying the false intentions of the Huns' Great Chanyu, a letter from his sister Jin Chuiduo, and a young child.
