Chapter 21: The Runaway Lou Ban
Looking at Tian Pengzu and Fan A, who had left, the smile slowly faded on Lou Ban's face, and finally painted an endless pale and cold, if it weren't for the faint tear in the corner of the eye, the whole face would be no different from a dead person.
"Uncle, when Ban'er grows up, he will no longer be willful and naΓ―ve."
"Uncle said that kindness is necessary, because kindness can win people's hearts, but kindness cannot be eternal, people, you must learn to be ruthless."
"I will learn what you have taught me, and I will live well, not only to be responsible for them, but also to avenge them!"
"Uyan, soon, soon, we'll meet."
The next day, as soon as the sun rose, the tribe remembered the heavy sound of the trumpet, and the people who were about to start a busy day walked to the center of the camp in turn, which was the call of gathering.
On the high platform, Lou Ban stood there indifferently, as if there was no joy or sorrow, the last time he stood here, below were hundreds of thousands of Wuhuan warriors, the leaders of various departments, and all the warriors worshiped him as the master, his uncle, and looked at the high-spirited self to guide the country, and was gratified.
Seeing that the people had almost arrived, Lou Ban cleaned up his mood, licked his lips, and a smile appeared.
"Dear relatives, I am your king and the master of this tribe, and I am sorry that I did not bring back the booty and more slaves, or even your relatives completely."
Looking at the sparse cries below and the crowd of people who all showed sad and grief-stricken expressions, Lou Ban coughed loudly and pulled back their attention.
"You should have all known yesterday, because of our mistakes, we have failed, we have lost too many warriors, cattle, sheep, horses, food, and relatives, and we have fallen into unprecedented weakness."
"But when we are at our weakest, Uyan will fall into the grave, and he will make us doomed, he will give our lives in exchange for benefits in order to satisfy his own desires, he will take our children, our women as his slaves, he will take our remaining grain and cattle and sheep, he will slaughter our relatives and friends, he is like a villain, disturbing our lives."
"I should lead you to resist, and even I should lead you to fight him and fight him, but I'm sorry, our warriors don't have the strength to fight anymore, I admit my mistakes, and I admit my cowardice, and I am willing to give up all my rights and hand them over to someone more capable, so that he can lead you to strength."
"But, before that, I want to take you to escape for your life, if you continue to stay here, we will be surrounded by those hateful Xianbei people led by Uyan, slaughtered by them, bullied by them, we can't leave our fate to them to decide, before we have the ability to fight them, we have to leave here first, a short departure, in order to return more brilliantly."
Lou Ban looked at the crowd that had slowly raised his head, and his face became solemn, "Let's put down our sadness first, go pack our bags, let's leave here, we will go to Sangqian County before noon, there are other of our compatriots, and some of our cattle and sheep, we will start anew there." β
Lou Ban looked at the scattered crowd and called a personal attendant. "Go and arrange people to inspect, keep patrolling, beware of Wuyan's sneak attack, I know him, he also understands me, he didn't stop me on the road, then Wuyan, who was cornered, will definitely make a desperate bet, cut off our roots, and he will die with us."
"Yes."
Lou Ban was waiting for the assembly of the crowd at the camp gate, one, two, more and more people appeared, they carried large bags and small bags, drove a few cattle and sheep, and even pushed the broken car at home, and the door was full of all kinds of things, just one by one outside the camp gate, they will be led by Lou Ban, leaving this almost since childhood.
"Let's go, let's take one last look at this place, and the next time we come, we'll wash ourselves with the blood of our enemies!" Lou Ban yelled at the crowd and bowed deeply, then turned around and led them down the distant road.
At this time, Wuyan also led the Xianbei people to the tribe of Louban, and a group of people were flying and hurrying away.
"Report~" A scout came from afar, and the roar came, "Lou Ban abandoned the tribe and led the crowd to leave the tribe and go elsewhere!" β
More than 10,000 people, with cattle, sheep and all kinds of sundries, there is no way to hide the whereabouts of such a huge crowd.
"Damn Lou Ban, he knew I was going to come to him, and he ran away, but this fool actually took the whole tribe with him, which will drag him all down, haha, what a merciful king, it's so pathetic!" When Wu Yan got the news, he was angry and a little glad that Lou Ban's "kindness" would completely bury him.
"Leader Murong, where is Lou Ban now?"
"According to this, it is less than a hundred miles!"
"Hundred miles, hundreds of miles, we set off on a light horse, throw away all the baggage, and we can arrive in half a day!"
Murong Mao looked at Wu Yan, who was full of interest, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and when he raised his head, his face became extremely entangled, "No, we haven't had a good rest for several days, and if we march in a hurry, even if it's only half a day, if we don't resist, we will die without a place to be buried." β
"Leader Murong, don't miss the opportunity, that's tens of thousands of people, ninety percent are old and weak, if someone else is eyeing it, then it really has nothing to do with us!"
"No, no, if you fail...."
"Lou Ban is not dead, we have no peace, and Kebineng is here, if he intervenes sideways, don't say that this huge Wuhuan is the lives of you and me, it is difficult to protect!" Wu Yan looked at Murong Mao, who was hesitant, and his heart was full of anxiety.
Murong Mao seemed to be moved by what he said, and the look in his eyes was obviously shaken, but in the end, he still said with a tangled face, "But if I wait for all of them to go, this is too risky." β
"Leader Murong, in this way, if you can trust a certain family, two thousand, no, as long as 1,500 people, I will personally lead people to behead the Lou Ban, and when the victory comes, I will not forget the favor of the leader!"
Murong Mao's face was still full of confusion, "This... I can trust you, but I ....."
"It's not just that, the opportunity can't be missed, if it fails, it's a big deal for a certain family's life, and the leader will not hurt his muscles and bones if he returns to Xianbei!"
β..... Anyway, I'll pick out 1,500 people and you. β
"Thank you, Chief!" Wu Yan looked at Murong Mao, who finally agreed, and let out a sigh of relief, feeling that the position of King Wuhuan was getting closer and closer to him.
After Wu Yan led fifteen hundred Xianbei knights, threw away all their baggage, rode out lightly, and rushed in the direction of Lou Ban, the worry on Murong Mao's face gradually disappeared, and a look called "bloodthirsty" appeared on his face.
"Chief, what are you worried about about such a good thing?"
Now those who remain by Murong Mao's side are the cronies who have followed Murong Mao early in the morning, and they are also the children of the real Murong tribe, and they have great trust in their own leader, and they also know each other very well.
"What kind of person do you think Zhang Ju is?"
"A cunning and cold-blooded old fox!"
"Yes, a cunning and cold-blooded old fox, a person who is so cunning, so experienced and so cold-blooded, how can he be a soft-hearted person."
"What does the chief mean is that there is a deception in this matter?"
"Ah, although the whole Wuhuan said that this Louban King is benevolent, soft-hearted, cowardly and even incompetent!" Murong looked at the sky in the distance, as if he could see Wuhuan under this sky, "But how did a benevolent, soft-hearted, and even cowardly incompetent guy survive under the oppression of the Great Han, and let the Wuhuan people slowly recover so vigor!" β
"Shhhh
As we all know, in recent decades, the first Wuhuan king was Qiu Juli, and Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun formed the Youzhou Triumvirate, not only rebelled, but also plundered Youji, so that this time saw the power of Wuhuan for the first time, and then was broken up by Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan A combination of punches, Qiu Juli was first persuaded to surrender, and then to the Han people, and finally was beaten by Gongsun Zhan, and the glorious years are gone.
The second Wuhuan King was Bandun, he did not rebel, but he had to get involved in the civil war of the Han Dynasty, as a result, every time he participated in the war, who he helped, who perished, he helped Gongsun Chan beat Yuan Shao, Gongsun Chan committed suicide, he helped Yuan Shao fight Cao Cao, he himself died, and by the way, the entire Wuhuan was brought into the abyss, and was almost served by Cao Cao and his general Zhang Liao.
When the third Wuhuan Wanglou class came up, Wuhuan could be described as a mess, the old people had followed General Mitian to fight the world before, and they didn't know if they had the ability, anyway, they didn't have the cheeks, they wanted any benefits, and they didn't want to mix up any bad things.
The Han people divided Wuhuan while beating that Wuhuan, and the prestige of Tian Guorang, the god of war in northern Xinjiang, was made by beating that Wuhuan, and Xianbei only came into contact with Tian Yu later.
As a result, as soon as Murong Mao said this, the Xianbei people around him remembered that in the past ten years or so, Lou Ban has been silent, one has not rebelled, two has not made trouble, and three has not fought in the grass valley, but it has secretly restored the Wuhuan people, the old qualifications are dead, the retreat is retreating, and the emerging tribes are gradually growing, and there has not been any big fight, but this Wuhuan king, just like a transparent person, makes people slowly forget.
"I know, no king is a simple person, and no one who is on the throne can simply ascend to the throne, so I want to underestimate the people of the world."
"That'..... Then this Uyan..."
"Wu Yan is too flustered, he has known Lou Ban for more than ten or twenty years, and it stands to reason that he should know Lou Ban better, but he is too flustered, Zhang Ju's death, Lou Ban's rumors, let him be completely messed up, he won't succeed."
"Then we're going to work with him."
"It's all here, you can't go back so empty-handed."
"Hahaha, I know that the leader will not suffer."
"Tell the brothers, rest well, and the next thing is to watch the play, but when they finish the performance, we will go and receive our booty, and if we can't get this Wuhuan and get a few thousand slaves, we won't lose anything."
"Yes!"
