To the west of Leyang, the remnant sun dyed the sky red, and the iron hooves flew like thunder.

Guan Ning and Bing Yuan followed this Xianbei cavalry all the way east, after passing Liucheng, along the way, occasionally saw one or two tribes destroyed by fire, the killed people spread out their field of vision, charred, hacked corpses appeared shockingly, and a little further, behind a mountain, another Wuhuan tribe was also slaughtered, and then burned by the fire.

There were no more living people, and the heads of men, women, and children were cut off and inserted into wooden sticks, expelled for miles, like road signs guiding the direction of the Xianbei cavalry.

"This is Gongsun Zhi's cavalry......" Bing Yuan had vaguely guessed the situation here.

Next to him, Guan Ning, who was walking side by horse, was still expressionless, closed his eyes and said nothing, still being carried by the horse towards the target, as if what happened in this world had nothing to do with him, at a certain moment, he opened his eyes and looked ahead: "It's here." ”

In the distance, the sound of noisy crying, shouting and wailing continued, and the air was faintly filled with blood.

Bing Yuan thought that he smelled blood, frowned, and the Xianbei leader in front raised his hand to stop the team, and the other party strode towards them, knowing a little simple Chinese, and learning etiquette to bow his hand: "The two of you...... bit, the leader is over there...... Please. ”

The two of them straightened their appearance, did not speak, but followed behind the slave, behind the forest in front, the sound of crying and wailing became clear, Guan Ning and Bing Yuan passed through one checkpoint after another under the leadership of the leader of Xianbei, the terrain behind the forest was open, and a temporary camp was erected, and the patrolling cavalry was hovering nearby with swords and bows, and a little farther away, the neighing of the war horses could be faintly heard.

Outside the camp, there were kneeling circles full of captured Wuhuan people, these people were tied with ropes, their hands were tied with ropes, and their bodies were somewhat wounded, and the pain in their bodies made them roll up, wailing and crying in pain, and the situation was quite miserable. Soon, a soldier came over and said with a smile: "It's your turn!" "It was to raise dozens of people, drag them into the distance, press down the struggling figure, and then the knife rose and fell-

The head rolled on the ground.

Bing Yuan clenched his fists, trembling all over, almost making a sound to stop such an atrocity, next to him, his hand stretched out, Guan Ning shook his head at him, and pulled him to continue walking, the lock slave who led the way in front stopped outside the camp gate and made a gesture of please, without transmission, he could not enter at will.

"Two ...... Here please! ”

“…… What a good dog. Bing Yuan glanced at the other party, and he and Guan Ning strode into the camp, and the people who had come all the way with them were already in the middle of the camp, bound and kneeling there, with a lot of marks of beatings and whips on their faces. King Gongsun trembled with fear, and his eyes pitifully asked for help from Guan and Bing, while next to him, Badon looked at the figures on the high platform opposite with hatred.

Gongsun Zhi held the dagger and cut off a piece of lamb meat and ate it in his mouth, staring at the center of the stage, two shirtless soldiers wrestling with each other, when one side was fallen, the generals on both sides of the seats Dian Wei, Yan Rou and other generals slapped the table and applauded loudly, and only when Guan Ning and the two walked on the stage did he wave his hand: "Reward a leg of mutton, and reward a piece of mutton for the defeated." ”

After the two soldiers received the reward, Gongsun Zhi put down the dagger and instructed Li Ke: "Give the two great sages a seat." ”

Guan and Bing arched their hands in silence, knelt upright on the seat in front of them, and did not squint, Gongsun Zhi stared at the two of them for a while, and smiled and arched his hand: "I heard my military advisor talk about two great sages, noble character, and generous and simple who can teach people. ”

Guan Ning nodded indifferently, turned around and closed his eyes again, which was considered a response. Only Bing Yuan's eyes were staring at Gongsun Zhi, his personality was rigid and stubborn, for what had just happened outside, he still had a mustard in his heart, his eyes were full of anger, and he arched his hand and said in a polite tone: "It's not easy for Gongsun Assassin Shi to invite the two of me, just say something." ”

"It's straightforward." Gongsun Zhi smiled even more: "Liaodong has long been governed by the political and general people, and it is inevitable that the two of you will be a little overkill if you stay here, so it is better to go back to Youzhou with me." ”

Bing Yuan stroked his beard and looked outside: "The assassin is good at training Xianbei, and the people under his rule must be polite and courteous, why do you need the two of us to go?" ”

On the seat next to him, Dian Wei stretched his neck, stared at the copper bell with big eyes, and roared in a deep voice: "My lord will let you go, where do you come from so many words." ”

"Dian Wei, don't talk like this to the two great sages." Above, the figure waved his hand to stop the giant man's words.

After a while, Guan Ning, who had been closing his eyes, spoke.

“…… Thorn Shi thought that his temperament was not as polite and virtuous as he is now, and the wolf was a dog that couldn't be pretended to be a likable, so he didn't have to play it. Guan Ning's speech speed was slow, and his words were clear, and when he said this, he looked at Gongsun Zhi calmly, and arched his hand: "It's just that the assassin wants me to be officials, I'm afraid it's a little difficult, Ning is determined to wear a cloth shirt, walk in the field and educate the people, and has no ambition to be an official." ”

"Then the people of the gentleman can be divided into kinds?"

Guan Ning sat upright and tilted his head, "Kind? ”

"Races, such as Xianbei and Xiongnu, probably you also know that Xianbei and Xiongnu were forced, but it is not a long-term way......" After a pause in his tone, Gongsun leaned forward, raised his fingers, and looked cold: "...... The battlefield is cold and arrowy, and you may die one day, so I have to think about the aftermath, for the people on my border in a hundred years, you are good at educating, and that Sinicizes them step by step and breaks their roots. ”

"It's not a short day." Over there, Guan Ning shook his head.

With a bang, his palm pressed against the table, and Gongsun stopped looking at the other party: "- ten years, twenty years!" I can afford to wait, you just have to do it, if you don't agree, you have to agree, you can't help it in my hands, of course, if you want to kill you, please! ”

The disguise was removed, and the fierce words were spoken, leaving Guan and Bing speechless and silent.

The white wolf flag hunted in the wind, the lit bonfire swayed, and someone walked over quickly from outside, pounced on the high platform with bloody breath, and the soldier arched his hand: "Lord Qi, Gongsun Du is here." ”

Here, Guan Ning and the others still wanted to speak, but they were interrupted by Gongsun Zhi waving his hand and ordering: "Let him come over." After a few words, he leaned back in his chair, picked up a bowl of wine and poured it down, and a moment later, under the high platform, dozens of figures strode up with a big nose, a long face, a thick beard, and a tall figure with armor.

"Gongsun Zhi-"

"What do you want to do all the way to Liaodong!" Gongsun Du is in his forties, he is in the prime of life, his body is quite powerful, and he is not polite when he comes up, and he doesn't look at Guan Ning and the two people on the side when he walks to the middle, he raises his hand and points over: "...... first kidnapped the two great Confucians in the world, and then went to Liaodong to burn and loot, do you want to provoke a war? If you want to fight, you go back and bring all the soldiers and horses, and I will fight with you in a dignified manner, and the province will make people think that my grandson is bullying the younger generation. ”

The surrounding generals Dian Wei and Yan Rou, and even Gongsun Xu, who had always been a little weak, frowned, and looked at him unkindly. Gongsun Du was not afraid of them at all, his footsteps walked in the middle, and his eyes looked straight ahead: "Do you know, Liaodong finally settled down, Wuhuan people, Liaodong Xianbei have been peaceful all these years, as soon as you come, you will slaughter the surrounding alien corpses all over the field, want to disrupt this situation, and let the people be displaced?!" ”

After Gongsun Du finished speaking, he looked at the guards and Bing, his tone was a little slower, and he said: "I came from Leyang all the way, what I saw, the cavalry under your command cleared the Wuhuan people within a radius of hundreds of miles within a few days, do you know, Wuhuan and Xianbei also have outstanding people, and the people of Badun, Nanlou, Su Fuyan, and Wuyan are not good at it, and Liaodong Xianbei Suli, Mijia, and Que Ji also control more than 20 cities such as Fuyu and Hao, and you are young and wandering in the grassland, and you don't know the situation here. In the case of your father, General Hakuba, who couldn't completely defeat them after years of fighting, is also the reason. ”

"As soon as you came, you used a butcher's knife to kill indiscriminately, do you know, the army of Xianbei and Wuhuan people is already on the way, and when you leave, what will I do with the people of Liaodong? You hand over the captured Wuhuan people to me, I am willing to lobby, send some money and food over, and settle the matter, I have run Liaodong for many years, and I have dealt with them a lot, and there will always be a little thin face...... What do you think? ”

Gongsun Zhi played with the dagger in his hand, and quietly listened to him say this half-reasonable, half-threatening words, and the corners of his mouth outlined a sneer: "I have killed so many people, how can they give up, it is better for you and me to join forces to kill these people." ”

"You...... You are truly rotten wood that cannot be carved. ”

Oh, Gongsun Du took a step forward, and the wooden plank under his feet sounded: "...... If you want to fight, that's your business, but if you forcibly kidnap Guan and Bing, you have to let them come back. ”

Gongsun Zhi poured a bowl of wine in his hand, got up and walked over, looking at each other calmly: "Then I also want to ask the two Confucians if they are willing to go back?" ”

Here, Gongsun Du's eyes fell on the seat, Guan Ning and Bing Yuan glanced at each other, the latter wanted to speak, Guan Ning lowered his voice: "Talking indiscriminately on the wrong occasion will cause trouble." ”

"Look, it seems that the two great Confucians are unwilling to go back with you." Gongsun Zhi lifted the wine and handed it to the other party: "Then the two things are finished, let's talk about another thing." ”

After speaking, his gaze gradually changed, Gongsun Du turned his gaze and opened his mouth slightly: "What else ......" met the fierce gaze.

Before he finished speaking, the next moment, almost everyone present did not react, the pottery bowl in front of him turned hard, and smashed on Gongsun Du's head, the wine and broken pottery shards splashed away, and dozens of guards drew their swords and wanted to rush up, but they were stopped by the wolf rider with a bow.

The blood on Gongsun Du's head flowed out from under the bun, and the whole person shook in place in a shaky manner, and his footsteps did not fall down after stepping on it a few times, however, the big hand reached out and grabbed his hair and dragged it in front of him, Gongsun Zhi stared at his eyes, "What you say is really a good official who is dedicated to the people...... Where were you when the Yellow Turbans were in trouble? When Dong Zhuo entered Beijing to bully the young emperor, where were you? When Yuan Shao united Xianbei and Wuhuan to attack Youzhou, he broke Youbeiping, as Hanchen, why didn't he save it? Are you waiting...... You're recuperating...... I'm telling you, I want to be the king of Liaodong......"

With a flick of his hand, he threw out the bloodied figure, rolled to the ground, and with a big blow, Gongsun Zhi turned around and walked back to his seat, the words fell, and the figure sat down.

“…… Have you asked me no? ”
