The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 1579
[Chapter 1579 would rather die than surrender]
Brother Rui was lucky. The night before it snowed, he found an abandoned hay shed by a hunter. After waking up from the cold in the middle of the night, he quickly lit a fire, and when he ran out of firewood, he burned the broken table and broken chairs in the house. Otherwise, I’m afraid it will freeze to death.
After dawn, my stomach growled. Touching his hungry stomach, Brother Rui reluctantly got up.
As soon as he walked out of the door, the cold air around him went straight into the cracks in his bones, causing Brother Rui to shiver several times, forcing him to return to the room.
After warming up by the fire, Brother Rui said to himself with a bitter face: “Why is it snowing?” Because there is a precedent for Zaozao to be a living target in the grassland, Yun Qing and Yuxi did not give specific advice. Brother Rui made a set of armor, but gave him a soft armor directly. And this soft armor is just a protective suit, not warm!
Carrying it from morning to noon, Brother Rui finally couldn’t bear it anymore and went out to find something to eat. Deep in the jungle, eat a lot, it depends on whether you have the ability.
Brother Rui was injured on his left hand before, but he suffered a minor injury. He carried the elixir to stop the bleeding and treat the wound, and it would be fine after bandaging it. In the past few days, he has been relying on wild animals to satisfy his hunger. But on such a cold day, these animals are all huddled in their nests, how can they come out.
After wandering around for a long time, Brother Rui didn’t even see chicken feathers. It was so cold that I couldn’t stand it, so I could only pick some wild vegetables and go back.
The fire in the hut was long gone, but fortunately there was still sparks. After burning the fire, Brother Rui went out to pick up firewood again. When he came back after picking up the firewood, he found that there was one more person in the grass shed.
Hearing footsteps, the man turned his head reflexively.
Seeing this person’s face, Brother Rui was so frightened that he took two steps back. No way, this person’s face is full of scars, it’s not an exaggeration to say that it is beyond recognition, it looks particularly terrifying. That’s why Brother Rui is bold, and if he were to be replaced by an ordinary person, he would be scared and faint.
The man was also very surprised to see Brother Rui, and asked a question. It’s a pity that he spoke in dialect, which Brother Rui didn’t understand.
Brother Rui asked in Mandarin, “Who are you?” In order to escape the pursuit of the Yan army, he drilled deep into the jungle. When I thought it was dangerous, I wanted to go out, but I got lost. No matter how you go, you can’t get out, and you just wander around in the mountains. If the person is familiar with the terrain, he can go out.
The ugly man couldn’t understand Brother Rui’s words, but he pointed to the things that were placed by the fire.
Brother Rui looked at the two dead pheasants and hares, and immediately understood: “Are you a hunter?” To be able to hunt wild animals in this snowy day, except for full-time hunters, ordinary people can’t do it.
Seeing that the ugly man couldn’t understand, Brother Rui made a bow-drawing gesture. How can a hunter not know how to draw a bow!
The ugly nodded, then pointed at Brother Rui.
Brother Rui thought for a while, and said in Changzhou dialect, “I’m from Changzhou, I’m lost, and I don’t know how to get out.”
The ugly man still didn’t understand, and his face was blank.
At this moment, Brother Rui’s stomach growled. Seeing the ugly man looking at him, Brother Rui touched his suffocated stomach and said embarrassedly, “I haven’t eaten for two days.”
The ugly man walked over, picked up the bloody hare and threw it to Brother Rui. The meaning is obvious, this hare is for Brother Rui.
It must have been a bad day to come out to find food in such a cold day, but this ugly man did not hesitate to give himself a hare. Brother Rui knew that although this ugly man looked scary, he had a very kind heart. Make up your mind, let the ugly take him out. It was just the language barrier that became a hindrance.
The snow stopped for a day, and then it started to rain again. It was not raining much, but it was still shivering from the cold. In the city of Shengjing, thousands of people were frozen to death because of the snow.
Under normal circumstances, the government would definitely have to rescue disasters. But the current food and things to keep out the cold are not enough for the army, how can they even distribute it to the people.
The Minister of the Household said for a long time, but Yan Wushuang did not answer. With a sigh, the Minister of the Household said: “Your Majesty, this snow will freeze all the crops to death.” The food will definitely be harvested.
Yan Wushuang didn’t want to listen anymore, he waved his hand and said, “You can handle these things.” As long as the weather warms up, the Ming army will attack the city. Now that even the capital of Shengjing can’t keep up, how can I still have the energy to manage the people starved to death and the food is not harvested.
Having said all that, the Minister of the Household did not say any more. Saying it, it’s useless.
After A Chi waited for the Minister of Household to go out, he said: “Father, if we don’t wait for the Ming army to come in, we will have to mess up ourselves.”
“I want money but no money, and I want food without food, what can I do?” For the past few days, he had been letting A Chi take A Bao and Yu Chen away first, but the three of them were unwilling. Said to go together, to stay together.
A Chi looked at Yan Wushuang, hesitated for a long time but still did not speak.
“If you have anything to say, just say it!” He always seemed to be hesitating to say anything, and he felt tired looking at it.
A Chi mustered up his courage and said, “Father, as long as they let us leave the Central Plains, we will give Liaodong to them. Father, I believe they will agree.” He was not afraid of death, but he hoped that his family would be well alive.
Yan Wushuang smiled and said, “Even if she agrees, it’s for the sake of the world. She won’t let me go after the incident.” How could Han Yuxi’s arrogant temperament really let him go! If he surrendered, he would become a piece of fish on the chopping board, and Han Yuxi would be slaughtered.
There is no king’s soil under the whole world, and there is no king’s ministers on the coast of leading the soil. If Han Yuxi really wanted the lives of their family, they would definitely not be able to escape by staying in the Central Plains. Achi understands this.
A Chi said, “Father, then we’ll go overseas.” In this way, even if Han Yuxi wanted to take revenge on them afterwards, he wouldn’t be able to stretch his hand out that long. Their family can live happily and happily.
Yan Wushuang glanced at A Chi and said, “It’s useless. Once they know where they are, they won’t let us go even if they go overseas.”
A Chi said: “Father, the emperor, there is only one death left. If you don’t surrender now, the whole family will die.” Even if Han Yuxi wants to kill their family in the future, it will be at least a few years later. And as long as you live, there is always a way.
After staying in Tongcheng for so many years, Achi deeply understood a truth. Living is not easy, but as long as you live there is hope. When you die, you’re gone, there’s nothing left.
Yan Wushuang shook his head: “People from the Yan family would rather die than surrender.”
When Achi heard this, he lowered his head.
That night, Yun Qing was very surprised when he heard that Han Jianming was coming. Seeing the person, Yun Qing asked, “Brother, why are you here? Are you here for Brother Rui?”
Han Jianming nodded and said, “The Empress was so anxious when she found out that the Second Prince was arrested.”
Qi Hao hurriedly asked, “Uncle, is there any good way for my mother?”
“The empress’s meaning is that she wants to recruit Yan Wushuang again. In this way, not only can the war be avoided, but also the safety of the second prince.” It can be said that this is a way to kill two birds with one stone.
Yun Qing’s face was sullen.
Seeing this, Han Jianming knew that Yun Qing was not happy: “Your Majesty, there are still 100,000 soldiers and horses in Shengjing City. Tongcheng also has 200,000 soldiers and horses. Even if we take Shengjing, Yan Wushuang will not be able to. You can also retreat to Xincheng and continue to fight with us. At that time, they will occupy favorable terrain, and we will have to pay a huge price to win Liaodong.”
“The arrow is on the string, and it has to be sent.” The army was all under the city, even if Yan Wushuang said he was unwilling to surrender, let alone to recruit surrender.
Han Jianming has been with Yun Qing and Oak Xi for more than 20 years, and he knows the temperament of the two. Therefore, he also knows how to persuade Yunqing: “Your Majesty, this snow will inevitably lead to no harvest of food in the fields. The people of Liaodong will definitely have no food for the winter this year.”
After a pause, Han Jianming looked at Yun Qing and said, “Your Majesty, if we don’t fight the Yan army, we can use this money for disaster relief.” Not fighting can not only reduce casualties, but also save countless people. But if there is a war, even if Liaodong is defeated, disaster relief will be difficult. After all, the imperial court is now said to be stretched thin.
Seeing that Yun Qing had loosened up, Qi Hao hurriedly added a fire: “Father, I think what my uncle said is very reasonable. What are we fighting for? It is so that the people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment. If you fight, you will solve the problem of Liaodong, why not do it.”
Yun Qing was able to conspire against Yu Xi’s words back then because the soldiers and the common people had suffered too much. He hopes to change all of this with his own power. Therefore, Qi Hao’s words hit his weakness.
If this war could be avoided, at least tens of thousands of soldiers would not have to die. Thinking of Yuxi’s statement that the world’s population must be recuperating, Yun Qing was relieved: “Let me think about it.”
After thinking about it all night, Yun Qing agreed to recruit Yan Wushuang. However, Yun Qing and Yu Xi thought differently. His request was that Yan Wushuang must surrender unconditionally. I want to bargain with him, but there is no door.
It is no longer easy for Yun Qing to let go. Han Jianming didn’t say what Yuxi said, just nodded and said, “Okay.”
Qi Hao sent Han Jianming out, and when he went outside, he lowered his voice and asked, “Uncle, are you sure?”
“There is a 30% certainty.” He heard that it was snowing on Shengjing’s side on the road, and he was 70% certain to convince Yan Wushuang. It’s just that Yunqing’s requirements are a bit harsh, so he only has a 30% certainty now.
Qi Hao said, “Uncle, if you can talk, you can talk. It’s okay if you can’t. You must take care of yourself.” Qi Hao supported the surrender, half of the reason was that Yan Wushuang captured Qi Rui. Otherwise, how could it be possible to send someone to recruit Yan Wushuang when they had all the advantages.
Han Jianming nodded.
Brother Hua looked at Han Jianming and said in a deep voice, “Dad, you must return safely, the Han family cannot live without you,” Han Jianming is the backbone of the Han family. If he falls, it will definitely hurt the Han family’s vitality.
“Don’t worry, I will return safely.” If he was not sure, he would not ask Ying automatically.
