Cao Shuo and Tian Feng were looking at the map, trying to find a route into the Hetao area, when Cai Ji's voice came from outside the tent: "General Lu, Gongzi is discussing important matters with Tian Gong......"

"I just have something important to report to my son." Before Cai Ji finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Bu: "Hurry up and report to the prince, just say that I can lead the way for the army." ”

Hearing Lu Bu shouting outside, Cao Shuo and Tian Feng glanced at each other.

Slapping his forehead violently, Cao Shuo said: "I'm really confused, Wuyuan is in Hetao, General Lu is from Wuyuan, of course he is very familiar with there." ”

"That's what Childe said." Tian Feng said with a smile: "The two of us only thought about where to march from, but we forgot about General Lu, no wonder he was noisy outside." ”

Cao Shuo shouted outside the tent: "Cai Ji, please General Lu come in." ”

Hearing Cao Shuo's order, Cai Ji, who was blocking Lu Bu from entering, stepped aside and said to Lu Bu: "General Lu, please." ”

Glaring at him fiercely, Lu Bu strode into the tent.

He first saluted Cao Shuo, and then arched his hand towards Tian Feng.

"General Lu said that he had something important to look for me, what is the matter?" Although he thought that Lu Bu could lead the army to choose the most suitable path into the Hetao, Cao Shuo didn't know what he came to ask for a meeting, so he asked.

"I heard that Gongzi is going to march into the Hetao and exterminate the Southern Xiongnu?" Lu Bu asked.

"Exactly." Cao Shuo said: "The Southern Xiongnu are too close to us, and we made them suffer a few days ago, even if we don't fight them, they will come to find our bad luck." It is better for us to go first and pull the battlefield to their homes. ”

"The Southern Xiongnu are in the Hetao." Lu Bu said: "But Hetao is not only the Huns, Gongzi wants to exterminate the Southern Xiongnu, but when he arrives at Hetao, he raises his arms and shouts, saying that all the people of the Han family, follow Gongzi to kill the Huns, and many people will definitely join him." ”

"Could it be that in the Hetao area, the people also hate the Huns very much?" Cao Shuo asked Lu Bu.

"Not only our Central Plains people, but even the Qiang people, Di people, and Donghu people hate the Huns to the core." Lu Bu said: "The Xiongnu are used to being powerful and blessed in Hetao, and the army of Gongzi is gone, as long as they can win one or two battles, there will be people who will come to guide Gongzi, and there will also be people who will send military rations to Gongzi." ”

He Tian Feng glanced at each other, and Cao Shuo asked, "General Lu has been absent from Wuyuan for a long time, why do you remember these things so clearly?" ”

"I've lived in Wuyuan for many years." Lu Bu said: "I don't know anything else, but I can still be familiar with the Huns." The Huns have always been powerful, and they have all kinds of bullying to the people of all ethnic groups in the Hetao area, and some people's daughters are married, and the Huns will go to sleep first, and then let them go to their in-laws' houses. Most of the Qiang and Di people will throw the children born from the first womb to death, so as not to be made by the Huns. ”

"The Huns will know quite a lot." Cao Shuo grinned.

He'd heard about the head drop.

In Wuhu Chaohua and later in the Yuan Dynasty, most of the Han people who were bullied would fall to death the firstborn child born to a woman of a different race, so as not to give birth to a family member who was not their own.

Unexpectedly, this kind of atmosphere was already prevalent in the Hetao in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

And the people who prescribe this practice are not known to be the Han people, as well as the Qiang and Di people.

"General Lu is here, meaning that I want to lead the army from Wuyuan County into the Hetao?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Wuyuan is my hometown." Lu Bu said: "I still have some hope there, if Gongzi is willing to go, I will definitely be able to recruit many people for Gongzi in Wuyuan, and even grain and grass can be purchased together." ”

Lu Bu's words were very sure, Cao Shuo looked at Tian Feng and asked, "What does Yuan Hao think?" ”

"General Lu was originally from Wuyuan, and this time he sent troops to Hetao, it is better to ask General Lu to be the vanguard." Tian Feng said: "Gongzi led the army into the Hetao later, and General Lu should be ready by then. ”

"The terrain of the loop is simple." Lu Bu said: "After passing the five plains, it is a lush grassland. The Huns have always been uncertain, and when we get there, all we have to do is to find the tribes of the Huns and uproot them. In fact, as long as our army solves the Huns guarding the tribe, even if the soldiers don't have to do it, there will be no Huns left, and all of them will be killed. ”

"It seems that the Huns have done a lot of evil." Cao Shuo said: "Since General Lu is familiar with the Hetao, according to what Yuan Hao said, please ask the general to be the vanguard, and lead the vanguard to go one step ahead before the army is about to set out." ”

"Thank you, Childe!" Lu Bu originally asked Cao Shuo for the position of pioneer.

When Cao Shuo said this, he fell into his arms.

He hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed down to thank Cao Shuo.

Cao Shuo's army had not yet come to Hedong, and had already appointed Lü Bu as the vanguard to go to Hetao first after the army arrived.

The war against the Xiongnu was in full swing.

At this time, the Hetao Xiongnu royal court.

Da Shan Yu stared coldly at Qu Bei, who was standing in front of him with his head bowed.

"20,000 Hun warriors followed you to the Central Plains, but they were destroyed by the Cao family in a battle." Da Shan Yu said coldly: "I heard that Cao Shuo also built 20,000 Hun warriors into Jingguan, and now he is in Hedong. Have you ever seen that Jingguan? ”

"Back to the big order." Go and said uneasily, "I see ......"

"What did Cao Shuo say?" Da Shan Yu said: "I heard that you and he talked about reconciliation? ”

"It's not me talking to him, it's him talking to me." Qubei lowered his head and said: "He said that he had no intention of being an enemy of the Great Huns, but the soldiers under his command really hated us Huns too much, so they built the dead warriors into a Jingguan ......"

"That's not what I'm asking." Da Shan Yu said: "I want to know, how will Cao Zirong demolish that Jingguan?" ”

"What he means is that if the Great Huns can agree with him not to attack each other, ten years later, he will demolish that Jingguan!" Go to the humble road.

"Ten years? Still not attacking each other? Da Shan Yu smiled coldly: "I think he is dreaming!" Didn't you put forward some conditions for peace talks? ”

"Yes!" Qubei replied: "I said that the best way to appease the Great Huns is to be friendly." Ask him to pick some of the Cao family's daughters and send them to the royal court......"

To mention Heqin, Da Shan Yu nodded and said: "This method is feasible, but Jingguan can't stay that long!" ”

Da Dan Yu said before he spoke, and he continued: "But Cao Zirong doesn't agree to such a way of making peace with his son, he wants us to send Ju Ji to the Cao family and marry the sons of the Cao family!" ”

slapped on the table in front of him, and Da Danyu's eyes were round: "What a Cao Zirong, it has always been their Central Plains people who sent the princess over, but there is no precedent for the Huns to send Juci to the Central Plains!" ”
