Li Ru saw that Hu Chuquan was in a good mood today, and said:

"Big leader, I went to the Xianbei Department of Bingzhou this time, but I was afraid that there would be no evidence, and the leader of the Xianbei tribe in Bingzhou would not believe me and would not let me enter the camp.

Can the great chief give me a token and show it to Budu as proof? After all, the safety of the battalion comes first, no matter who it is. ”

Hu Chuquan thought about it and felt that what 'Bai Huaide' said made sense, so he took off a wrench from his hand and sent it to Li Ru, saying, "If you show this thing to Budu, he will believe you." ”

Li Ru took the wrench, looked respectful, and said, "Then Huaide has retired." ”

Hu Chuquan said to Li Ru energetically: "I look forward to Huaide's successful return." ”

......

Li Ru left the camp and arranged for Bai Hua to lead more than 40 people from the intelligence battalion to stay in the Southern Xiongnu camp and continue to investigate various intelligence of the Southern Xiongnu Department.

And Li Ru himself took Huang Zhong and others, and went straight to the Xianbei Department of Bingzhou, of course, with Li Ru went to the Xianbei Department of Bingzhou with a thousand Southern Xiongnu soldiers led by Ji Tianmu, the commander of the Southern Xiongnu, named to protect Bai Huaide's safety, in fact, to monitor Bai Huaide's actions.

A day later, Li Ru and the others arrived at the Xianbei camp in the northwest of Yunzhong County, and the Xianbei guard sergeant at the gate did not let Li Ru and others enter, nor did they give a message.

Li Ru could only hand over the wrench of Hu Chuquan, and said to the Xianbei sergeant guarding the door: "I am the envoy of Hu Chuquan, the great leader of the Southern Xiongnu Department, and I am looking for your Budu leader to discuss important matters, this wrench is the evidence, if you delay the big event, I am afraid that you will not be able to afford it." ”

The Xianbei sergeant guarding the door has always adhered to the style of greedy money of the Xianbei Department of Bingzhou, and anyone who does not have a greeting gift and does not know will not be allowed to enter.

When Li Ru took out the valuable wrench of Hu Chuquan, the Xianbei sergeant guarding the door knew that it was a 'big man', and hurriedly went in to report it.

After a while, the sergeant came back and said respectfully, "The leader of Budu has asked the envoy to enter the central tent to discuss matters, but the rest of the people can only wait in the side tent." ”

Ji Tianmu, the commander of the thousand men who came to 'escort' Li Ru, is the captain of Huchuquan's guard, when has he ever suffered such a grievance? Not only do people block the door and don't let them in, but they also have to wait for the side tent.

But thinking about the explanation of the big leader Hu Chuquan when he was leaving, he could only go to the guard sergeant and said viciously to the guard soldier:

"Dare to say that you don't know Lao Tzu, next time you will stare at your 'dog eyes' and take a closer look at who Lao Tzu is? Besides, if you don't know Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will kill you on the spot. ”

Li Ru chatted with Ji Tianmu very well all the way, and naturally knew Ji Tianmu's temper, and said in his heart: "Ji Tianmu's anger has been consumed by this sergeant, who let him not have long eyes?" ”

When Li Ru entered the central tent, he saw that the furnishings in the tent were more luxurious than the big tent of Huchuquan, and there was golden light everywhere, full of gold.

Li Ruxin said: "It seems that this greedy step has used all the gold for decorations. ”

Seeing the steps sitting in the most central position of the big tent, Li Ru was shocked: he didn't expect that the leader of the Xianbei Department of Bingzhou, who was between the Southern Xiongnu Department and the Youzhou Xianbei Department, was actually a thin old man in his fifties.

Li Ru put away his surprise, stepped forward, raised his head and said to Budu: "Bai Huaide was ordered by Hu Chuquan, the great leader of the Southern Xiongnu Tribe, to form an alliance with the leader of Budu and go to the south to make a fortune together. ”

Budu has been looking at Li Ru since he came in, and when he heard Li Ru talk about making a fortune, the little eyes that were dazed and seemed to be unable to open flashed a glimmer of light, and said with a disdainful face:

"Humph! It sounds good, but he just wants me to be a coolie in the Xianbei Division. There is a chance to make a fortune, how can Hu Chuquan think of me? ”

When Li Ru heard Budu say this, he knew that Budu had already believed something in his heart, and continued: "The leader of Budu doesn't know something. This plan was jointly carried out by the Bai family of Yanmen County, the Southern Xiongnu Huchuquan and you. It was my Bai family who strongly asked the leader of the step to participate. ”

A look of doubt flashed in Budu's eyes, and he said: "I am not related to your Bai family in Yanmen County, and I have never had a relationship, when did your Bai family become so good?" If you have the opportunity to make a fortune, you actually think about my Xianbei clan? ”

Li Ru said decently: "It's not that my Bai family is good, but because of interests."

There are a total of six counties in Yanmen County, if only one side of the Southern Xiongnu Department enters the customs, with the greed of Huchuquan, will there still be a place for my Bai family? We are taking back our own land from the Fenwu Army, not trying to send it to Yanmen County.

In this case, if the leader of Budu can lead the Xianbei army into the pass, then my Bai family can survive in the gap between you and the Southern Xiongnu by relying on its own means. ”

Budu still looked disbelieving, and said: "I think you are not sincere enough, just an excuse to trick me into sending troops." ”

When Li Ru heard Budu say the word sincerity, he understood Budu's thoughts, and said with a smile: "In order to achieve this, the head of my Bai family said that he would give 10,000 taels of gold to the head of Budu as a gift for meeting. Please step the leader to send troops! ”

Budu thought for a moment, and thought in his heart: "The number of my own Xianbei tribe in Bingzhou is scarce, and it is already difficult to survive between the Southern Xiongnu Department and the Xianbei Department of Youzhou, if it weren't for the high tribute, they would have been wiped out long ago."

The Bai family's small abacus played well, and they wanted to empty the gloves of the white wolf. If there is no gold, why should I send troops to the Xianbei Department of the Prefecture? With gold, I have a reason to send troops, even if Kebi can ask anyone in Huchuquan later, I will say that it is for gold, and I can prevaricate. ”

Thinking of this, Budu must have said with a smile: "You kid is telling the truth." All right! For the sake of these ten thousand taels of gold, I promise you. When will Hu Chuquan send troops? How do we fight? ”

Li Ru saw that Budu agreed so happily, and said in his heart: "This step is really as the intelligence said, there is no gold to say all good things." ”

I could only follow Budu's words and say: "Please lead the leader of Budu to lead an army of 30,000 and send troops to Yanmen County on the first day of the seventh month." The leader of Budu was responsible for attacking Yanmen Pass, while the leader of Huchuquan of the Southern Xiongnu Department was responsible for attacking Loufu Pass. ”

Budu said with a displeased face: "Hehe, you have a good calculation." I heard that the Southern Xiongnu Department suffered a big defeat at Yanmen Pass, losing more than 20,000 people, you won't let me gnaw this 'hard bone'. When our Xianbei clan and the Fenwu army are both defeated, you two will benefit from it. ”

Li Ru said without changing his face: "Leader Bu, please rest assured, this is just a feint, my Bai family's 'dark son' will open the gate of one of the two passes at the right time, and there will be an army that can attack Yanmen County without much effort."

Budu leader, please think about it: whether it is the army of the Xianbei tribe entering the pass, or the army of the Southern Xiongnu entering the pass, how can the Fenwu army be able to hold Yanmen County? Another level is bound to open. ”

Budu smiled: "It seems that your Bai family has already prepared. It's good to have an inside.

My ugly words are ahead, if there is no internal response, I will turn around and leave, I can't lose my Xianbei warriors in vain. ”

Li Ru replied: "Please rest assured that the leader of Budu is this, and my Bai family does not dare to joke with their lives." ”

Budu looked like a send-off, and said: "Then go back and tell Hu Chuquan, on July 1st, I will definitely start the army on time." Hopefully, he'll keep his promises. ”

Li Ru bowed slightly, and said, "Huai Deding will bring the words of the step leader." ”

Li Ru got out of the big tent and did not stay too much in the Xianbei tribe in Bingzhou, so he led people back to the Southern Xiongnu tribe.

When he returned to the Southern Xiongnu tribe, he saw Hu Chuquan saying with enthusiasm on his face: "Brother Bai, I knew that as soon as you got out of the horse, you would definitely be able to succeed, so Budu agreed!" ”

Li Ru saw that Hu Chuquan's name for himself had changed, and he secretly felt bad in his heart, so he could only say: "Living up to the expectations of the big leader, the head of the Xianbei clan agreed." I'll leave first, so I can go back to Yanmen County to make arrangements. ”

Hu Chuquan's face changed and said: "Brother Bai, what's the hurry, just arrange for someone to go back and report a message."

From now on, Brother Bai will stay in my Southern Xiongnu clan honestly, and on the first day of July, we will go back to Yanmen County together and go to your Bai family to drink. ”

When Li Ru heard this, he knew that Hu Chuquan had two meanings, one was to detain himself, and the other was to threaten himself with the Bai family.

In the final analysis, Hu Chuquan, who is suspicious by nature, is not worried about himself, if he insists on leaving, then Hu Chuquan will be suspicious, so he can only arrange for the thirteen guards of the Dong family to return to the 'Bai family' in Yanmen County to report the news.
