64, Kebineng
Hearing Hou Luohou say this, the atmosphere in the curtain suddenly froze, and Xu Kun, who was in the seat, also snorted coldly, dropped the leg of mutton in his hand, and looked at Hou Luohou, Zonu and others with hostility.
This Xianbei envoy is said to have been sent by a tribal lord named Kebineng, who wanted to secretly help the Han army defeat Tugehu in Yanmen and other places, in exchange for the support of Yan Xing's side through various channels on the grassland.
And the importance and value of knowing the enemy's internal situation, dividing the enemy, provoking and weakening the enemy's strength was particularly prominent in the previous defeat in Yanmen.
Yan Xing was not angry, but had a new interest in this rather arrogant Xianbei envoy, he wiped his hands with a linen towel, and then got up and left the table, pressed his sword and walked out of the curtain, and said:
"Honorable envoy, please go with me!"
When Hou Luohou heard the words of the Han general, he immediately got up, and he made a gesture to signal the nervous-looking Zonu to calm down, while he himself calmly followed him.
Standing on the grass outside the curtain, looking at the vast and magnificent grassland, looking back at the Xianbei man who was still fearless under the hostage of his own guards from both sides, Yan Xing smiled, stretched out his hand and pointed to the cavalry team not far away and said:
"The defeat of Yanmen was just the arrogance and carelessness of the Huns, and they were careless for a while, so they fell into the ambush of the slaughter of various departments. Back then, with the strength of a few thousand horsemen, he was able to expel the Qianghu tribes and help the Xiongnu Shan Yu return to the Meiji royal court. ”
Hou Luo followed Yan Xing's finger and saw the elite cavalry team again, as well as the white-robed and silver-armored cavalry general, but he still smiled and said firmly:
"The general may not know that there is such a proverb in our steppe, which is called 'A strong warrior has a sharp blade, but he cleaves the softest river'. And the people who control the strings on our steppe come and go like the wind, gathering and scattering, like flowing water, although the soldiers and armor of the cavalry under the command of the general are good, but if you want to pacify the Tu various tribes on the grassland in one fell swoop, without the secret assistance of our tribe, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do it in a hurry. ”
"Oh, is it? When the autumn is high, the horses are fat, and the lonely has been determined, with the elite of light horses, the long drive comes, the army and horses follow, slaughtering all the departments for livestock, women and children are tired, how can they flee far away, only afraid of the messenger's flowing water, it is exaggerated! ”
"Haha, the general is not going to lie, although we are the people of the grassland, I don't know the etiquette, but I have been in the country for a long time, but I have also heard your so-called 'way of truth and truth' in the art of war, if the general has decided to send troops to attack and slaughter the tribes, then I am afraid that what I see today is not the cavalry of the strong armor and sharp soldiers, but some soldiers and thin horses."
For war, in the chaotic grassland, the Xianbei people who compete for grassland, plunder and anti-plunder every year are no strangers, and the cunning and treachery of war have been repeatedly staged in the duel between the Han army and the Huns hundreds of years ago.
Yan Xing couldn't help but smile when he looked at the opponent in front of him who was as sharp and cunning as a wolf, he waved his hand and said:
"It's a good way of truth and reality, so what do you Kebi Neng adults really want?"
"Reinforcements! A strong and invasive ally! ”
Hou Luo Hou said exactly.
But Yan Xing still kept his doubts, "As far as I know, your tribe is closer to Youzhou's Biansai, right?" A powerful and invasive ally, shouldn't it be someone from the Yuan family in Youzhou? ”
When Hou Luohou heard Yan Xing's questioning, he didn't defend himself, nodded and said:
"Indeed, if you only consider the distance and the strength of the strength, then your Han officials in Youzhou are indeed the allies that our tribe wants to win the most."
"But," he paused, a sly glint flashing in his eyes, "Lord Kebineng of our tribe finally chose to move closer to your side after hearing about the deeds of several great officials and generals in your Han land. ”
"Oh, why is that?"
Yan Xing looked at this Xianbei envoy with interest.
"Because Lord Kebineng heard that the general was originally just a small citizen of the Han land, and he relied on his military merits and prestige to become a general in the army step by step, while your other Han official was born in a noble, became famous at a young age, and became increasingly powerful."
"To tell you the truth, our Lord Kebineng is also from a humble race, and with the favor of God and personal wisdom and justice, he became the head of the tribe step by step. Therefore, after hearing about the general's deeds, the adults admired the general very much, and they couldn't wait to talk about it, but it was a pity that the road was far away and the mountains and rivers were blocked, so they couldn't come to visit. ”
"On the other hand, your Han noble-born official, he is just like Xianbei Budugen, Fu Luohan and others, under the pretense of the prestige and reputation of his ancestors, he can divide one side and dominate the front."
"Lord Kebineng said that the general is a true hero among the Han people, so we will use the help of the grassland caravan to hurriedly come to meet the general, hoping that the general will be clear!"
After listening to the words of this Xianbei envoy, Yan Xing laughed, pointed at him and said:
"Lone heard that you Xianbei people live in a bitter cold place, tenacious and war-resistant, how can you talk to the envoy, but Lone heard flattery?"
"No, General, I'm telling the truth. Our tribe is close to the border of your Han people, and we also know some inside information about the Han land. Nowadays, the Han Dynasty is fighting against the heroes, although the cavalry under your command is elite and good at fighting, but for the Huns to consume on the grassland, with the wisdom of the general, I am afraid that I also know that this is more than worth the loss! ”
"So instead of using your elite men and horses to fight the Tu Ge tribes that have long been on guard this autumn, it is better to temporarily withdraw the troops, and wait until the combined forces of Tu Ge, Xianbei, and Wuhuan are disbanded and retreated, and then surprise and suddenly use the Huns' cavalry to attack the Tu Ge tribes. At that time, with the information provided by our tribe and the relationship between Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Tu Ge, it would not be as easy for the general to defeat Tu Ge as it was to shoot the prey that was surrounded in the field. ”
"It's a lot easier to look at it this way. And then your tribe can get a strong reinforcement from the outside with just this contribution, and a steady stream of caravan trade, which will bring your tribe much-needed goods on the grassland, and also bring your warriors excellent armor to help your Kobineng-sama defeat other tribesmen such as Budugen and Furohan, right? ”
Hou Luohou smiled when he heard this, he had already heard that the Han army general in front of him had already moved, but because of the price of the sale, he was not willing to go straight to the shot.
"General, in fact, in the long run, your hegemony also needs the help of our Xianbei tribe!"
"Oh, really?"
"We know that you are currently fighting with another of your Han people who controls You, Ji and other places, he has established contact with the tribes of Budugen, Fu Luohan and others, and our tribe is close to the border of Youzhou, if our Lord Kebineng defeats Bu Dugen, Fu Luo Han and others, after the tribe becomes stronger, not only will he cut off the opponent's arm, but he can also send the most brave warrior of our Xianbei people, cross the horse and hold a bow, cooperate with your army, and sweep your enemies in You, Ji and other places."
"What's more, if there is only one Xiongnu Shan Yu on the grassland who is gradually regaining his strength, will it really be beneficial to you?"
Hearing the last words of Hou Luohou in front of him, Yan Xing's breathing became heavier unconsciously, and after he looked at this humble man for a long time, he suddenly let out a hearty laugh.
"Haha, what a Xianbei messenger, come on, bring the portrait."
Yan Xing didn't answer Tho Luohou directly, he stretched out his hand and asked the guards around him to bring a silk painting to him, and he casually unfolded it in front of Tho Luohou, Tho Luohou just glanced at the figure on the portrait, and his face immediately became solemn.
The portrait shows a Xianbei man on horseback, holding a bow in one hand and waving a command flag in the other, while the knights around him are looking back and shouting, as if they are ordering the cavalry team to change formation and outflank them from both sides.
Isn't this what your own tribe was like when they hunted?
"The envoy is quite familiar with this painting, right?"
Hou Luo smiled reluctantly, nodded and said:
"The general is really hand-eyed, this is our tribe's Lord Kebineng commanding the crowd to hunt."
"That envoy is Kebineng's younger brother, Lord Tho Luohou, right?"
Yan Xing caught the strangeness of the Xianbei face in front of him, he smiled indifferently and continued to ask.
Hou Luohou's face was strange, and he nodded again and said:
"Yes."
"Hahaha, that envoy is really a grassland eagle that is not inferior to his brother, all the benefits you mentioned earlier, Lone really can't refuse, Lone does need a steppe eagle like Lord Kebineng as an ally on the grassland, but, for you, Lord Tho Luohou, Lone decided that he should keep you."
At this time, Hou Luohou gradually recovered from the strange appearance just now, he tried his best to suppress the panic in his heart, and asked nervously:
"Why, General, I'm afraid this is not the reason you Han people treat your allies, right?"
"Leaving a brave and capable younger brother for a long time can not only stabilize the alliance between Gu and Lord Kebineng, but also help Lord Kebineng reduce the hidden dangers within the tribe in the future, isn't this the best of both worlds for the short-term and long-term covenant between the two sides?"
After finishing speaking, Yan Xing no longer paid attention to the Xianbei envoy in front of him, and waved his hand to let the guards around him step forward and take down the Hou Luohou, watching the armor soldier who was holding the soldier approaching in front of him, facing the sharp weapon, this Xianbei man who had been hiding his true identity with the name of "Hou Luohou" along the way finally looked up to the sky and let out a burst of laughter.
"Lord Xianbei can be Bi Neng, see the general!"
