As soon as he heard his father mention the words "Qipin Xianbei", Liu Qun closed his mouth.

Within a few years, many tribes arose on the grasslands in the north, but there were only four that could be called a force in them, and Qipin Xianbei was one of them.

Relying on the innate institutional advantages, Qipin Xianbei can be said to be a soldier of the whole people, plus there is Youzhou as a backing, and Chen Zhi's strategic thinking as a guide, the power has expanded very rapidly.

But also because of the constraints of Chen Zhi, the expansion of the Qipin tribe still maintained a state of restraint, and there was no reckless large-scale annexation like the rise of the normal tribe.

In the first two years, the small tribes who coveted the fertile grasslands took the initiative to attack, but they were all defeated without exception.

After the defeat, the leaders of the small tribes were either killed, or relegated to slaves, and sent to the mines to work as miners, and their tribal population, cattle and sheep, were all absorbed by the Seven Grades Xianbei.

After two years, there are no small tribes that will dare to provoke the tribe of Qipin Xianbei, a deep sea beast.

But Qipin Xianbei, who began to expand and expand in strength, will not stop there.

This tribe was created by Chen Zhi, and from top to bottom it was a system shaped for promotion, and once the desire to expand was stimulated, it was difficult for anyone to suppress it.

So, in order to reconcile the internal contradictions, Chen Jing, who was in charge of Qipin, after consulting Chen Zhi, embarked on the road of active but limited scope expansion.

This expansion still has to cooperate with the overall strategy of Youzhou, so the expansion route of the Seven Grades Department is very monotonous, mainly to take the initiative to annex all the small tribes around and incorporate them into the Seven Grades system, and will not go on an expedition.

In this process, they inevitably had contradictions and frictions with the surrounding clans, but several parties were more restrained, after all, the Youzhou Army standing behind Qipin Xianbei did not expand too much, so it still maintained a superficial peace.

In view of this, the prestige of the Qipin tribe gradually expanded, and no one dared to underestimate it.

"Do you still remember, a year ago, Qipin Xianbei clashed with the Huns in order to hunt down a small clan, and the Huns could only choose to back down in the end, it can be seen that this department is fierce, and this department is a minion, even if the Youzhou army is really weakened because it has not moved for a few years, it is enough to stand firm."

While Liu Kun said this, he also made a decision.

Many of the soldiers who accompanied him guessed his decision, and no one said anything to refute it.

Liu Qun was still a little unwilling, and said: "At that time, Liu Cong and Liu Yi in the Huns confronted each other, and the internal friction was serious, and in the face of the persecution of the Seven Grades of Xianbei, there would be some concessions. ”

Liu Kun shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, but the Xiongnu are not a monopoly, there is the imperial court in the south, Xianbei in the north, and there is the miscellaneous Hu in the west, even if it is unified, there is no way to exert all its strength, otherwise Liu Cong wants to fight us, why pretend to attack Liu Yao's name?" It's not that I'm worried about the interference of the imperial court and Youzhou, and the reason why the Tuoba Department is willing to take advantage of the Tao is not because they want to take the opportunity to attack and kill, and the rest of the surrounding tribes are also happy to see it, and the small clan hopes that the Xiongnu and the Tuoba Department, or the Liu clan will wear down each other's strength. ”

Listening to this complex analysis of the situation, Liu Qun felt a strong malice in it, and the forces of several parties did not have a good bird, calculating each other.

"You probably also realize that it's complicated," Liu Kun smiled bitterly, "This situation is chaotic, who would have expected the next thing?" Let's just say that this time he Liu Cong's Northern Expedition, beforehand, who knows whether to fight Liu Yao or Tuoba? Or just a false shot and go back to Guanzhong? Some people in our interior speculate that after Liu Cong made his move, did the imperial court take the opportunity to make a sneak attack, or did the miscellaneous Hu in the Hetao take the opportunity to enter the court? As a result, they came to beat us! It's changed too fast, and I'm a little tired of being a father, it's already like this, so it's better to go to Youzhou. ”

Seeing that his son still had something to say, Liu Kun waved his hand and said: "Don't be anxious, my father has not lost his ambition, when I and my grandfather danced when they heard the chicken, we had the heart to forge ahead for the Han, but now the mountains and rivers are broken, and the north has fallen into the hands of Hulu, and they can't be expelled all, why is it called Hanchen?" But if you lose yourself, you will have nothing, and this time you go to Youzhou, it is an opportunity to observe and learn. ”

"Observe for learning?" Liu Qun was stunned.

Liu Kun said: "The Chen family enters the seclusion, with the Daijun Wuding as a soldier, he can be invincible, everyone says that the Chen family is strong and strong, and the people are strong, but in fact, the people of the Daijun have been in ancient times, why can they win in the hands of the Chen family?" In fact, Chen is good at training and mobilizing, and has the wisdom to know people, and he is a soldier who uses his life, and has sharp weapons such as single-tip cannons, so that he can be invincible! If my father goes this time, he should learn his method of training, and in the future, he will lead another army and train his troops with it! ”

"I see!" Liu Qun nodded, showing admiration, in his impression, his father is a masterpiece, and he will not doubt his knowledge and ability, but he immediately thought of some news, and said worriedly: "But I heard that the military camps in Youzhou are all closed, and it is easy for people to enter, so it is very difficult to see ordinary soldiers......"

"There is no impermeable wall in the world, if my father goes to Youzhou, he will not be in a hurry, and he can wait for the opportunity slowly," Liu Kun once he made a decision, he quickly had a comprehensive plan in his heart, "What's more, going to Youzhou is not just to take refuge, and not to borrow troops without interest, first to fight steadily and steadily, showing ability, this training to fight for the father may not be as good as Chen Zhengbei, but there is no problem in governing a place, although he Chen is powerful, but the business may still be lacking, this is just to show him a few hands......"

As he spoke, the mood of the group improved a lot.

At this moment, the pro-soldiers who were on guard not far away suddenly made a gesture, and there was an anxious chirping.

Immediately, someone came over and reminded: "The war dogs of the Huns have discovered this place, Fu Jun, I have to leave quickly!" ”

"It's okay, I've rested for a while, I've recovered my strength, and I'm going to march into Youzhou in one go!" Liu Kun stood up with a strong spirit, he was not from a military background, even if he had practiced martial arts since he was a child, his body and bones were not weak, but he was not as good as the soldiers in the army, he was already tired, and the rest time for this meeting was not enough at all, but he knew that he couldn't stop here, so he mustered up his strength and moved with everyone.

The group hurriedly cleaned up, messed up the traces, and hit the road again.

This move, after traveling about three or four miles, was finally discovered, and immediately the crowd of black pressure besieged it, and it was another thrill.

Sou!

The arrow shot straight through the head of one of his own soldiers.

This person is blocking the arrow for Liu Kun, and when he fell, blood splashed on Liu Kun's face, which made this long-tested old assassin Shi can't help but change his complexion, and then look at the front, the enemy has been cut off from the front, and the enemies from all directions are slowly approaching!

"Not good! The Huns guessed our route, and just now they sent people to ambush us, how is this good! The big man, who is also a guide and a pioneer, exclaimed, at a loss!

"Don't panic!" Liu Kun calmed down, "How far is this place from Youzhou?" ”

When the guide heard this, he looked around and said with an ugly face: "This is already in Youzhou!" ”
