Chapter 1019 Under the Night
The night is vast, like a layer of black fog, making it impossible for people to see clearly or figure it out.
Lin Yinqin also couldn''t figure out why the Han people finally decided to release him back together with his tribe. This matter was really unbelievable to him.
"...Brother, you said..." Lin Yinqin threw a small piece of wood on the guard side into the bonfire, and then said, "...What do the Han people mean by doing this? Do they really want to...paint that thing?"
"Drawing something?" Alan Yi was stunned for a moment, and then she understood what Lin Yinqin was talking about. "That''s not painting something. According to the words of the Han people, it''s called turning conflicts into jade and silk, which means putting down swords and guns and truce... "
"Oh..." Lin Yinqin nodded half-understanding.
That’s what it means anyway.
Compared to the battlefield force, Linyinqin is stronger than Alanyi, but in terms of writing, Alanyi is stronger.
Do you want peace talks? It shows some sincerity, so logically speaking, there is no big problem if they are released by the Han people. So when the Han people expressed their intention to release them, although Linyinqin and Alanyi also had some doubts in their hearts, But I don''t know what the problem is.
Lin Yinqin was silent for a while and asked: "...The Han people... seem to have some advantages. Why do they need to cease the war? Don''t they want Yinshan anymore?"
Alan Yi was not sure about this, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "...Didn''t I hear that the Han people are also at war with each other before...It is said that their capitals, just like our royal court, are now fighting for it...Maybe this We also want to compete for the royal court of the Han people, and the side of Yinshan... may be less important... Of course, it may also be other things, such as no food and grass, or some other problem we don''t know about..."
Lin Yinqin nodded and used branches to make the bonfire a little brighter.
?These are naturally all guesses, and neither of us knows what they should be.
“…However, being able to come back,” Lin Yinqin said with a somewhat solemn look, “is finally a good thing…”
"A good thing?" Alan Yi repeated softly, then shook his head and showed a wry smile, "...I thought it was good before, but now...it may not be the case..."
Lin Yinqin stopped playing with his hands, turned around and asked, "Brother, what do you mean..."
Alan Yi stretched out his hand and pointed outward, and said: "...It''s been quite some time since I met the patrolling scouts, but I still haven''t received any reply... Teams of scouts have sent out quite a few... Then we There may be a lot of eyes around here... When we come back, now that I think about it, it may not be a good thing..."
Although Alanyi didn''t say it very clearly, Linyinqin also understood the meaning. He couldn''t help but angrily threw the small branch in his hand and said: "These Xianbei dogs! They still doubt us! That coward Nakrikhen from before We haven’t even settled the matter with them yet, so why do they still have the nerve to doubt us! If we really had any deal with the Han people, why would they come back here?”
"Understood? What do you want to understand? Settle accounts? What accounts to settle?" Alan Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Who are you and me? And who are the people over there? And let''s talk about the matter about Kerry... Yes , it was he who abandoned us and refused to save us, otherwise we would not have been surrounded by the Han people, but... if Na Keli really denied it, do you think Little King Tuoba believed that Na Keli was really more, or would he believe that we were more some?"
"…" Lin Yinqin gritted his teeth, but soon they softened like a punctured water bag and let out a long sigh.
After all, their clansmen, old and young, are still with the Xianbei Royal Court, which is equivalent to being hostages. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Lin Yinqin and Alan Yi try not to go against the Xianbei people as much as possible, so even if Nakli really did Such an action that made the two of them resentful, to a certain extent, could only be a loss of silence and tolerance.
What can I do if I can’t bear it?
??You can''t send your troops to kill the Krichen tribe. Maybe they will be suppressed by other Xianbei tribes before they get there...
"Didn''t the Han people''s letters also make it very clear?" Lin Yinqin also knew this, so he could only hide his true resentment towards Nakri in his heart. After a long time, he said in a depressed voice, "...and we are still separated. The reason for staying so far away from the camp is to show that we have no agreement with the Han people and will not attack Xiao Wang''s camp. We are just messengers... Is this wrong? "
The two of them had discussed it before when they were on their way back. They were worried that Tuoba Xiaowang would have any misunderstandings, so they set up camp far away from the Xianbei camp to show their innocence. , as a sign of the absence of any hostility.
?But now it seems that Tuoba Guoluo may not think so.
"It is precisely because we did not rush directly to the camp that we are still here..." Alanyi said, "If we had just gone directly to the camp, I am afraid that what would greet us now would be ropes instead of swords and guns... "
"...Brother, I say..." Lin Yinqin''s voice was a little dry, "...if, I say, if, what if something like that happens... what are we going to do..."
Alan Yi looked at the flickering bonfire and was silent for a long time before saying: "...I have thought about it. Normally, it shouldn''t be like this... After all, we don''t have many people, so we can''t send more people." It’s enough for people to keep us under guard... Once the fight with the Han people is determined, whether it’s war or peace, then we’ll have nothing to worry about..."
?Lin Yinqin nodded slowly, but after a pause, his voice became deeper and deeper: "...I''m not saying discouragement, I''m saying...if it really happens...will we...should..."
Alanyi turned his gaze to the night sky and looked at the stars in the sky. The dark night enveloped the surrounding areas. After a while, he replied in a low voice: "...I don''t know...Brother, I don''t know either...Maybe we shouldn''t come back." , maybe we shouldn’t have done it before... maybe everything we did was wrong... wrong..."
……………
The night seems to cover everything, including the human heart.
A dozen or so leaders gathered from around the camp and arrived at Tuoba Guoluo''s big tent.
??These dozen or so leaders not only include Tuoba Guoluo''s direct confidants, but also close tribes like Tuyuhun. Of course, some are leaders of other tribes, including the person involved...
At this time, everyone is worried.
In the past, people called Ma Xi, and the Hu people were relatively loose and had no so-called sense of confidentiality, so most people knew the news about the return of the Huns.
Some people couldn''t help but look at Nakriya, probably looking a little weird. It was already approaching late at night. Normally, if it hadn''t been for this news, everyone would have taken a rest. At most, they would have explained some matters such as patrolling and arranging horse feeding at night. Everyone relaxed and lay down on the straw mats to stretch. After working hard all day, their bodies and bones had to get up and come to Tuoba Guoluo''s tent.
?Of course, even if they feel a little unhappy, most people don’t dare to complain.
When there is nothing to do, Xiao Wang has a good temper, and most of the time he just smiles and no one takes him seriously. However, it is a major military matter at the moment. Anyone who talks more is simply seeking death. Really If Xiao Wang gets angry, marches and chops off his head with a knife, there will be no place to cry.
So although everyone had suppressed their questions and thoughts, they all just looked at each other with their eyes, and no one took the initiative to speak.
ifies.
??Damn Huns, why the **** are they back?
How can I come back?
How can it be possible?
?Nakri gritted his teeth, and the muscles on his cheeks were twitching. If the Huns had revealed how he behaved in front of the Han people...
People on the grassland respect brave men. Even if they knew about it, no one would want to support the Huns and vent their anger or anything, but after all, it doesn’t sound good, and his reputation will be completely ruined. So wouldn’t it mean that I would no longer be able to look up and see people?
Thousands of thoughts were swirling in Krichen''s mind at once...
When everyone was gathered, Tuoba Guoluo still didn''t speak immediately. Instead, after a while, he slowly said: "The Huns are back, interesting... Then Krichen... Hey, where is Krichen?"
??The leader sitting next to Kristen quickly moved back, revealing the figure of Kristen.
?Na Keli really had to bite the bullet, put on a stiff smile, lowered his head and said, "Yes, I''m here, my dear little king..."
"Well," Tuoba Guoluo glanced at Krichen, and then said unhurriedly, with a calm voice, as if nothing happened, "...I remember, you said before that you found that something was wrong. , when you rushed to the battlefield, the Han people had already surrounded the Huns... Then you led the troops to rescue several times, but were stopped by the Han people and failed to save them... Then you saw Lin Yinqin and Alan Yi''s big oxtails. The jing also fell... Then you saw that there was nothing you could do... and then you had no choice but to withdraw... Well, is that right? Or... did I remember it wrong? "
Tuoba Guoluo repeated a few times and then came down. Although his tone was calm, it was night, and the temperature was low, but there was a thin layer of sweat on Krichen''s forehead. Under the firelight inside the tent, Shiny.
?Several Xianbei people put their heads together and whispered:
“Look at this guy’s bad attitude, he’s probably not telling the truth…”
“What 80%, I guess it must be!”
“Damn it, I’ve already seen that this guy is a coward, but I didn’t expect that he is also a guy who tells lies with a long tongue!”
"Why are you so polite? If I had asked someone to tie me up and give me a whip first..."
For a time, there was a constant buzz in the big tent. Some seemed to be joining in the fun, while others were gloating. Although their attitudes were different, everyone was staring at Kristen to see how he would answer.
"...This...this...respected little king, I..." Nakrizhen lowered his head and said, "...what I said is all the truth, and I dare not deceive the little king in the slightest..."
"Oh?" Tuoba Guoluo said with a half-smile, "That''s a bit strange... Not only did the Huns not die under the siege of the Han people, but they also came back... You know, the ox-tailed banners have all fallen... tsk tsk …You think it’s because these Huns are lucky, or that the Han people’s hands are too soft... Then tell me, what do you think?”
“This…” Nakrishna was speechless for a moment.
Everyone knows that every tribe on the grassland has an ox-tail banner that represents its own tribe, and this ox-tail banner is like the Han people''s handsome flag. It is the core of the entire army. Once it falls, it will It means defeat, or the entire army is annihilated...
??And now the Huns'' ox-tailed banner that Krishen saw arrived, and in the blink of an eye the Huns came back. This thing is quite interesting.
?The sweat on Krishen''s forehead was flowing down his cheeks. He didn''t dare to reach out to apply it, but he felt like millions of ants were crawling on his face...
People are like this. When they tell a lie, they often blurt it out, but in order to make up for the lie, they have to spend more actions and words.
Everyone hates mistakes and hates showing their mistakes in front of other people, and Krichen is no exception. In order to maintain his image in front of the Xianbei leaders, he gritted his teeth and said bravely: " ...Reporting to the respected little king, this...I don''t know...When I arrived with my tribe, the Huns were indeed at war with the Han people...and those Huns could no longer hold on...I did see They couldn''t be saved, so they came back with their clansmen... These are all true. If Xiao Wang doesn''t believe it, you can ask my clansmen!"
Kriken spoke slowly at first. There was still some lag at the beginning, but later it became smoother and smoother. In the end, he even patted his chest and made a loud noise, and his tone gradually became more affirmative, but then Kristen is still hiding some things...
?Because all the things Nakrizhen said were true to a certain extent, Nakrizhen spoke in a very decisive manner, which made Tuoba Guoluo hesitate a little about his previous judgment.
?Perhaps there are some hidden secrets that Nakli really doesn’t know about?
?Tuoba Guoluo stared at Krichen for a while, noncommittal, neither nodding nor shaking his head. Instead, he lowered his head and read the letter on his hand...
The Han people want to negotiate peace?
A delaying tactic?
Or do you have other plans?
What does Han people mean and what do they want to do?
