Chapter 14: Adults (I)

The sky was dark, and on a hillside more than thirty miles east of Liucheng, several horsemen galloped up, and a young Wuhuan warrior led by him couldn't help but gasp and ask loudly on the hillside as soon as he got off his horse:

"Uncle, why did you suddenly order the pursuit to stop? It's all a credit to being able to exchange money for food! ”

Wuhuan people have lived in the Han realm for a long time, and most of them have been sinicized, especially the nobles at the top, from their living habits to their daily speech and deeds, they are basically no different from the Han people...... Because the hillside above is surrounded by no one else, it is Mudun's own uncle and adoptive father, Liaoxi Wuhuan Shan Yu Qiu Liju.

In such a relationship, it is naturally reasonable to shout an adult.

"Collapse, come here." Qiu Liju couldn't help but sigh, but hurriedly beckoned his nephew to come forward. "What is the current situation of the Xianbei people?"

"Returning to your lordship." Crash quickly replied. "The Xianbei people are really hopeless this time, tens of thousands of people were defeated, and they were hunted by us and the Han army like livestock along the way, and the corpses were scattered for hundreds of miles...... With all due respect, this is probably the biggest defeat I've ever seen for the Xianbei people since I was a child. ”

"What about you?" Qiu Liju sighed. "It's also a loss I've never seen in my life...... It may even be the biggest defeat that the entire Xianbei has suffered since Tanshi Huai raised his army! That Ke Zitan is simply a fool, how dare he rely on a hostage warehouse to advance the army so far? ”

"But those boys of the Gongsun clan are also powerful." Crash couldn't help but shake his head. "If it weren't for them, even if this battle could have been won, it would have been such a big gain."

"Gongsun's Clan?" Qiu Liju frowned. "This family has been entrenched in Liaoxi for so many years, and they are old neighbors with us, and they don't want this group of juniors to be so good...... Don't talk about this, let me ask you, I heard that the Xianbei people left a rear guard force of two or three thousand people in Liucheng, but is there such a thing? ”

"Yes!" Collapse replied very neatly. "That's what a lot of captives say, and they can't fake it if they want to."

"In that case, I'm relieved." Qiu Liju finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Then let's collect our troops now, take advantage of the twilight, and the remaining Xianbei people are estimated to be able to escape to Liucheng tonight, and it will be much easier to escape calmly with the three thousand guards at that time......"

Hearing this, he was stunned, but he was a little puzzled.

Suddenly, he finally understood that his uncle deliberately wanted to let go of these Xianbei people, and the previous military order was not confused; What is incomprehensible is that although he did not treat any Xianbei people as an invincible enemy country, the head of the Xianbei people can be exchanged for a large number of rewards from the Han people after all, and the current battle situation, the pursuit is like picking up money......

Qiu Liju looked his nephew up and down, as if he saw the other party's doubts. Coupled with the fact that his only son was still breastfeeding, he might need to entrust the clan to the other party in the future, so he couldn't help but nod: "Collapse, let me ask you...... How many people do Xianbei people have? ”

"How do you know that?" Collapse was speechless. "I'm afraid I don't know even if it's Tanshi Huai himself."

"Then do you think that Xianbei and Wuhuan people are added together, and there are more Han people in Youzhou?"

"Surely not! Han ......"

"That's right." Qiu Liju looked at his nephew carefully and explained. "For the Han people, the death of 100,000 people is nothing, but for the Xianbei people, especially for the central Xianbei who face the western part of Liaoxi, as long as tens of thousands of young people die, it will basically break the muscles and bones...... And if we continue to chase, I'm afraid that these more than 10,000 Xianbei people will really confess under the city wall of Liucheng in front! At that time, it may take several years for Central Xianbei to recover. ”

"But...... What does it matter to us that Xianbei in the middle of the country hurts the muscles and bones? "Crash is still a little dazed.

"Idiot!" Qiu Liju was a little impatient. "Think about it, if Xianbei in the central part of the country is unable to send troops, won't Liaoxi be peaceful in the next few years? And if Liaoxi is peaceful, why should the Han give us additional rewards and ask us to send troops again and again? ”

"I see!" It dawned on him. "What do you mean by Uncle...... We Wuhuan people are hunters, and Xianbei people are prey, we can't shoot all the prey at once, so that we can harvest every year in the future! ”

Qiu Liju only felt that his eyelids couldn't help but jump several times in a row...... Actually, what he originally wanted to correct was that the Xianbei people were not prey, they were man-eating beasts, and the big Han was the real hunter, and the Wuhuan people were just hunting dogs raised by the big Han to deal with fierce beasts. It's just that the days of the big man who has been the owner of the house have not been as good as a year after year, and the hound has some careful thoughts.

Of course, in front of many Wuhuan warriors, this is impossible to say no matter what.

In this way, the Wuhuan people secretly collected their troops and let the Xianbei people escape. On the second day, when the low-level sergeants continued to collect the spoils of war and cut the heads between Liucheng and Yanglecheng, Zhao Bao, the Taishou of Liaoxi, also officially moved his position to Liucheng at night, and then began various post-war work......

In other words, now, Zhao Taishou naturally doesn't need to find out the Ke Zitan who has stepped into a meat puree and stew it, but ordinary stew still has to be made. In fact, Zhao Bao issued an order that night, saying that a banquet would be held in Liucheng in a few days to reward the soldiers and meritorious soldiers!

Needless to say, the officials of Liaodong and Liaodong vassal states who participated in the war also quickly disbanded the temporary patchwork troops who were so shocked by this victory that their jaws fell in Lulongsai, and then those who had heads and faces rode to Liucheng to congratulate them. Even, this banquet also alarmed Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou, who had just arrived in Lulongsai, and Wang Taishou, who had just arrived in Youbeiping, and these two simply came directly to Liucheng, saying that they wanted to congratulate this great victory!

However, Liaoxi Wuhuan Shan Yu Qiu Liju, who had made great contributions, suddenly felt unwell, and directly turned back to the headquarters, only letting his nephew go to the banquet on his behalf, which was quite ...... Sigh.

And in such a state, Gongsun Xun waited for the expected storm in the Amway semicolon in Liucheng.

"Why did you do this again?" Aunt Gongsun was still in the courtyard, and the sound of anger had already reached the house.

It was the first time for Gongsun Fan and Lou Gui to see such a situation, and they were shocked and didn't know whether to salute or dodge, but Han Dang and Cheng Pu already had experience this time...... I saw the two of them greet calmly, and the former even greeted Aunt Jin who was behind Aunt Gongsun, and then calmly walked out and gossiped with Gongsun Yue, who escorted his aunt here.

Seeing this, Gongsun Fan and Lou Gui hurriedly followed suit, and also escaped instantly.

"You guys go out too!" Aunt Gongsun came to the house and saw her son kneeling there to plead guilty, as if she had been prepared, so she became more and more annoyed, turned around and drove out all the henchmen such as Aunt Jin and Aunt Quan Liu, and then she took off her glasses and sat down on the high chair above. "Did you really grow up like this? Did you think of something good to deal with me a long time ago? In that case, I want to see if you have anything to defend this time?! ”

"Mother." Gongsun Xun was really much calmer this time, kneeling there neither in a hurry nor in a hurry. "It's a bit risky this time......"

"Some?" Gongsun Lady is not angry, where can the other party be allowed to say it first? "The matter of your five people drilling into the tens of thousands of troops in Xianbei has been spread throughout Liaoxi, and it won't be long before the entire Youzhou, the entire Hebei, and even the whole Han will know about it! If you want to be famous all over the world, is it what you want? Some? Five people, 10,000 people? If you really die, you really deserve to die! I really deserve to have raised you for 20 years! ”

Gongsun Xun bowed his head and was silent, until his wife finished scolding and began to gasp, then he hurriedly walked two steps to the other party and took the other party's hand: "Mother, although this matter is risky...... But it's worth it! ”

"Life is gone, no matter how much credit it is, it's not worth it!" Aunt Gongsun unceremoniously scolded back. "I'll tell you Gongsun Xun, you have to thank Ah Yue when you go back, if this kid hadn't deliberately delayed his efforts halfway and let me get here two days earlier, your face would have been swollen by me now!"

"Mother is reluctant."

“……”

"Mother is on top...... It's not that I'm maliciously taking risks, but the world clearly tells me that it's really difficult to be a peace dog! Gongsun Xun exhaled and said with a little sincerity. I asked my mother that day, if you want to live your life in troubled times, why do you want to try to reach the princes? My mother told me that no matter how the world changes, it is the people at the top who are the easiest to survive...... If you are not a big person, you are not qualified to live in troubled times. ”

"But you can't give your life first just to be a big man, right?" As she spoke, Aunt Gongsun couldn't help but burst into tears again. "I really don't have any other thoughts in my life, I just want you to live in peace."

"Mother listened to me...... I didn't refute your meaning, I just want to tell you that after this incident, I can see it clearly, I don't have to wait until the troubled times, even now, even the two thousand stone Liaoxi Taishou can't save the lives of his family! Gongsun Xun's expression became more and more earnest. A high-ranking official of 2,000 stones, his own mother is in a good hurry under the escort of dozens of cavalry, and he may be taken hostage, and then chopped off before the battle...... Then I dare to ask my mother, after seeing this kind of thing, do you still think that living in today's world, life and death can really be avoided? In other words, in the face of life and death, is it more likely to turn around and flee and survive, or is it more likely to survive in a head-on fight? ”

Aunt Gongsun took off her precious glasses, held her forehead and thought for a long time: "You really didn't do this kind of thing for meritorious service?" ”

"I'm here to make meritorious contributions." Gongsun Xun hurriedly replied. "But meritorious service is to live better...... Mother, don't be angry, and listen to me...... Plague aside, do you know where the greatest danger to you, my mother and son came from before the war began? ”

Aunt Gongsun was speechless for a while...... She really hadn't thought about this problem before, but now it seems that this world is going on step by step, even if the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms have not been opened, her only baby son is not so safe.

"There are only two places, one is the border war, and the other is crushed by the DPRK and China." Gongsun Xun sneered. "Needless to say, the former is also between the so-called eunuchs and the party, and the blood is flowing like a river!"

Aunt Gongsun has seen people after all, and she also knows a little bit about her son, so she instantly woke up: "You mean that if you want to avoid the former, you have to be promoted quickly, and when the time comes, it is good to escape from here or become a powerful figure in your hands; And if you want to avoid the latter, you have to have a big backstage...... Do you fancy Zhao Bao's relationship and want to follow his path? ”

"After all, my son is a student of Liu Shi and Lu Shi, no matter what the party is, they will not treat me as an enemy...... And this Zhao Taishou, didn't you say it? On the surface, he is at odds with his brother Zhao Zhong, but in fact, I am afraid that he has a tacit understanding. You said, I have made such a contribution in this adventure, if I take this line again, then in the next seven or eight years, no matter how the situation changes, will it not be as stable as Mount Tai? ”

Aunt Gongsun was slightly stunned, but she couldn't refute for a while: "That's why you took such a risk to save that Zhao Changshi's aunt?" ”

"Yes." Gongsun Xun replied calmly. "But it's not enough...... It's not enough for that Zhao Changzhi to remember my name thoroughly and secretly take care of me. ”

"What else do you want?" Aunt Gongsun couldn't help but be vigilant.

"Don't hide it from your mother...... I've been crowned. ”

"And then?"

"That Zhao Taishou has an only daughter, this time I was carried out from the knife of the Xianbei people, I didn't think much about it at the time, but when I think about it, maybe it's ......"

“……”

“……”

The mother and son looked at each other for a long time, but suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

"That ......" Gongsun Xun was furious by his own mother, and the first one couldn't help but break the silence.

"Is it pretty?" Aunt Gongsun suddenly patted the armrest of the chair and asked.

"At the beginning of Emperor Ling, there were more than 9,000 people in the upper valley of Lord Wuhuan, and there were more than 9,000 people in Liaoxi, and more than 5,000 people in Liaoxi, all of whom claimed to be kings; and Liaodong Su Fuyan, more than a thousand falls, claiming to be the king of the cliff; Right Beiping Wuyan, more than 100 people, proclaimed himself the king of Khanlu; and be brave and resourceful. —Book of the Later Han Dynasty. Volume 90. Wuhuan Xianbei Liebiography. eightieth

PS: Sun in the previous chapter naturally refers to Sun Quan...... And I think in the official history, except for Zhang Liao and Chen Deng...... Is Yu Ban also counted as one? After he was captured, he should have been sent to Sun Quan's side, and before in Xu Du, with his status, there was no reason why he hadn't seen big ears.
