Be cautious in making friends, and see the truth in adversity. There are many kinds of friends, wine and meat friends can not be made, eating, drinking and having fun have him, and if there is something, you can't see people, this kind of friend is better than nothing. Confidants and friends should be cherished, as the so-called confidants are hard to find, this kind of friend may not go your way in everything, and sometimes point out your mistakes in public, but only this kind of friend, when you are in trouble, they will lend a hand to you.

People need friends, but to make friends, you must distinguish who is false and who is real, the easiest way is to see who will help when you are in trouble, those who hide and do not show up, then there is no need to communicate again.

Kebi is a bit of a failure to be a man, and blames him for being too domineering in his usual behavior, so that he has fallen into a situation where he has no friends now. When they went south, for the sake of interests, the leaders of the Xianbei tribes revolved around Kebi Neng, and Kebi could say east, but they would never say west. But now that they are in trouble, the Xianbei people are blocked in Baima County, and in the face of the encirclement of the Han army, these Xianbei leaders did not hesitate to betray Kebineng in order to preserve their strength.

The Xianbei people led by Budugen asked Kebineng to divide the troops, and the reason was reasonable, and the division of troops was each other's horns, so as not to wipe out the Han army. Kebineng didn't think much about it at the time, so he agreed to this request. But when the two families were divided, Kebi could immediately regret it. Because except for the people of the headquarters, all the people of the other tribes gathered around Budugen.

Even if Kebi Neng objected, but the people refused to obey Kebineng's orders, Kebi Neng could not force him to stay, let alone threaten with force, so he could only helplessly watch most of the Xianbei people leave the camp, and set up camp with Budugen, and Kebi Neng also took his men and horses into Baima County in order to avoid letting the Han army take advantage of the situation.

Baima County is not a big county, it was looted by the Xianbei people before, and the city wall has been dilapidated, and the Xianbei people do not know how to repair the city, although they live in the city, but they only move the camp outside the city to the city.

Kebineng thought that he and Budugen were each other's horns and could resist the Han army for a while, but he didn't expect that the Han army had just arrived, and the news that Budugen had left overnight also came. Kebineng didn't believe it at first, and when he didn't see Budugen leading people to help after a day, he had to believe it.

Giving up is helplessness, but those who are given up may not understand that helplessness. Anger is full in Kebineng's heart, if it weren't for the Han army outside the city at this time, Kebineng would be eager to take someone to catch up with Budugen, and kill him with a knife. But after all, it was just a wish, judging from the attitude of the Han army calmly arranging the defense line and not rushing to attack the city, Budugen and the Han army must have already reached an agreement.

I was betrayed! Kebi was able to realize it and figure it all out, but unfortunately it was too late, and it was impossible for the Han army to let go of the culprit who went south to rob the Han people. It can be seen from the layers of rejection horses laid by the Han army outside the city that the Han army is preparing to trap itself.

The Xianbei people have a large number of cavalry, and the impact of the plain gallop is very great, if you want to escape, only with the strength of the Han army at this time, it is really difficult to ensure that there is no fish that slips through the net. It can be seen from the layout of the Han army that the infantry is the main defense, and the cavalry is guerrilla, and the posture is to never let go of a Xianbei person.

The trapped beast is still fighting, Kebineng has never thought about surrendering, because he knows that the current Han Tianzi is different from the past, he is a very vindictive person, even if he can let go of other rebels, he will not spare himself as the mastermind. Rather than surrendering and making people laugh, it is better not to die, and even if you die, you will not leave a reputation as a coward.

Compared with the shabby when Kebi can attack the city, the siege preparations of the Han army at this time can only be described as luxurious, those with different effects, a variety of siege equipment under the city opened the eyes of Xianbei people, especially those siege crossbows, an arrow shot directly in the city wall to dig a hole, and what makes the Xianbei people feel frightened is that those Han troops did not use those siege crossbows for siege, but concentrated at the gate of the city, flat aimed at the four gates of Baima County.

Using siege crossbows against cavalry, even heavily armored cavalry, cannot resist the strong power of siege crossbows. In place of siege crossbows attacking the city walls, it was a Han-made catapult, which the Han army called a thunderbolt. A city gate is arranged with a hundred, a round of salvo, dozens of pounds of circular stone bullets will roar and smash to the city head of Baima County, after landing can still roll out of the distance, if people are unfortunate to touch, it is either killed on the spot or seriously injured.

Kebineng didn't organize a breakthrough, but the Han army was obviously prepared, and a large number of crossbow arrows forced Kebineng's breakthrough back to the city, and the Xianbei cavalry who were shot into hedgehogs fell on the way to charge outside the city, reminding the Xianbei people in the city that this road was not passable.

Sitting still is not Kebineng's character, although he was abandoned by his allies, Kebineng did not lose his fighting spirit, but another practical problem was also placed in front of him. There is not much grain and grass in the army, and this time the troops are looting, and the Xianbei people themselves do not carry too much grain and grass. When attacking Shangdang before, Kebineng also carried some of the capture, but most of the capture remained in Jinyang.

During this time, people ate horses and chewed and used a lot, the party did not fight down, and the grain and grass were naturally not replenished, and because of the three-light policy adopted by the Xianbei people to the Han people before, Kebineng who returned to the north could not find a target even if he wanted to raise grain on the spot. Jinyang asked the Han army to recapture, and the capture of the Kebineng Department in the south was basically consumed. The other tribes have surplus food, but who is willing to lend Kebineng in vain, and they all pretend to be poor in front of Kebineng, and when Budugen abandons Kebineng with everyone, those Xianbei leaders are even more unwilling to give the hard-earned grain and grass to Kebineng.

Five days is the limit of what the grain and grass can support in the army. After five days, if you don't want to go hungry, you have to kill the horse. But without horses, it would be even more impossible to break through the encirclement of the Han Chinese.

"Father, the Han people outside the city have sent an envoy." Yu Zhujian reported to Kebi Neng outside the tent. Yu Zhujian is Kebineng's son-in-law, and it stands to reason that Kebineng should be called his father-in-law, but Kebineng doesn't like to hear the word father-in-law. A son-in-law is half a son, and there is nothing wrong with shouting at his father.

"Who's coming?"

"The man claimed to be a nobody, and refused to give his name."

"Where is that man now?"

"They are waiting outside the city, and if the father does not want to see him, the child will drive him away."

“…… Let's bring it into the city, for my father, I want to see what the Han family child wants to say to me at this time? Kebineng thought about it and instructed Yu Zhujiandao.

It is better to die than to live, since there is a way to live, who wants to die. Yu Zhujian received Kebineng's instructions, and led the Han army envoy into the city with people and came to Kebineng's face.

In order to give the Han army envoy a dismount, Kebineng specially ordered someone to set up an oil pot outside his tent, which was boiling hot oil and steaming white. It's just that the envoy of the Han army was not afraid of this at all, glanced at the oil pot, and asked Kebineng with a sneer: "It seems that King Kebineng has had a good life recently, and he is still in the mood to prepare for a big meal." ”

"Hmph, Han people, don't play tricks in front of this king, otherwise this king will let you taste the taste of being fried." Kebineng snorted coldly and threatened.

"Huh...... Since Xiao Sheng had the courage to recommend himself to the Holy Master to come here, he had already put life and death out of the way. On the contrary, it is the king, which Han book did you see the allusion of this oil pot to people getting off the horse? Aren't you ready to point a knife and axe hand to drop the cup for a while? ”

"The Han people are presumptuous! Don't you think this king won't dare to kill you? Kebineng shouted angrily.

"Hehe, the king wants to kill Xiaosheng but with a single effort. However, Xiaosheng also knew that if Xiaosheng died here, the saint would let the king return blood for blood, and tens of thousands of Xianbei people would accompany Xiaosheng to bury him, but Xiaosheng earned it. ”

"Father, please put out the wrath of the thunder for a while, and ask the messenger about his intentions before making a decision." Seeing that Kebi could not get off the stage, Yu Zhujian hurriedly persuaded him.

Kebi Neng nodded slightly when he heard this, looked at the envoy and asked, "What did your emperor ask you to do here?" ”

"Ever since Budugen learned about the king's lack of food and grass at the moment, he was very worried about the safety of the Han people who had been captured by the king. Therefore I have been commanded to come and consult with the king about the exchange of prisoners. The saint is willing to exchange the grain and grass that the king urgently needs for those captive Han people, I don't know what the king wants? ”

Grain and grass is a piece of Kebineng's heart disease, if this problem is not solved, there is no need for Han people to attack the city, and the Xianbei people can starve to death if they are hungry. At that time, it will not cost a single soldier to completely destroy his own tribe. So before the messenger came, Kobi Neng really had the idea of cannibalism.

People are omnivores, and if you are really hungry, then there is really nothing you can't eat. This kind of thing is not just a record in the history books, but a real thing. And on the grassland, if there is a disaster year and you don't get enough food from the Han people, it is not uncommon for that person to eat people.

During the Wuhu Rebellion, the Hu people killed all the old, weak, young and strong people who captured the Han people, leaving only young women and children, who were not only the tools of their Hu people's lustful pleasures but also the military rations for the army. The reason why the Han people are called two-legged sheep is because the Hu people do not regard the Han people as human beings, but only as livestock in captivity.

Kebineng could refuse the proposal of the Han Emperor, but he also knew that rejecting the proposal of the Han Emperor was equivalent to killing himself, and at this time he rejected the Han Emperor, and it would not be long before the Han Emperor would use the heads of their Xianbei people to pay tribute to the Han people who were used as military food by their Xianbei people.

“…… How is your emperor going to exchange? Kebi thought about the consequences and asked in a deep voice.

"Two ways, one by weight and the other by quantity. The first is according to the weight of each person, if one person weighs two stones, then give you two stones of grain; The second is that no matter how heavy the person is, one person will give you a stone of grain. I don't know which way the king chooses? "The unit of measurement in the Han Dynasty is different from that of modern times, and one catty in the Han Dynasty is about half a catty converted into a modern measurement, that is, about two hundred and fifty grams. A stone in the Han Dynasty is divided into four jun, and one jun is about 30 catties, so after conversion, a stone in the Han Dynasty is equivalent to more than 60 catties in modern times, and the normal weight of an adult is about 100 catties.

"The second type." Kebineng replied almost without hesitation. Hearing that Lu Yu, who was the messenger, felt a pain in his heart, if most of the Han captives in Kebineng's hands were young and strong, then the first method of exchange was obviously more beneficial to Kebineng, but Kebineng chose the second type, which means that the situation of those Han people is probably not enough to describe it with the word miserable.

When Bu Dugen led the Xianbei people to leave, he handed over the Han people captured in the south according to Liu Xie's requirements, and the situation of those Han people was very bad, the proportion of young and strong people was very small, and there was no old man, and the most were women, children and children who had been repeatedly humiliated.

“…… Since the king chose the second option, I don't know when to exchange? Please also ask the king to give an exact time, and at the same time tell Xiaosheng how much food to exchange? Lu Yu took a deep breath, tried to suppress the anger in his heart, and asked Kebi Nengdao.

"Uh...... This still needs to be counted and will be answered tomorrow. Kebi Neng knew how many Han prisoners there were in his army, so he had to say to Lu Yu.

"Okay, then I'll come back tomorrow. By the way, I almost forgot to remind the king that my family's saint wants to change all the Han people in the king's hands, not only a part, if the king wants to change half and keep half, then please dispel this idea as soon as possible. Lu Yu said to Kebineng as if he had just remembered suddenly.

Kebineng originally really had the idea of only changing part of the Han people and leaving some of them to continue to be hostages, but when Lu Yu said this, Kebineng had to dispel this idea and promised Lu Yu: "Don't worry, if you want to change it, you will change it all, and this king will never say one thing and do another." ”

"I hope so, but even if the king leaves some Han people, it's useless, the saint said, after this change, even if there are Han people in the king's hands, the Han army will not admit it."

Kebi could let Yu Zhujian send Lu Yu out of the city, and he himself took people to the army to gather those Han prisoners. Those Han captives are now the private property of the Xianbei people, and only Kebi can personally come forward to make those Xianbei people hand over to them. Some Xianbei people were reluctant to hand it over, but under the threat of steel knives and starvation, they could only hand over the Han captives in their hands to Kebineng. After gathering the Han captives in one place for inventory, Kebi could find that he had a total of 3,000 Han captives in his hands, no more and no less, of which women and children accounted for most of them.

Three thousand people, if you follow the first exchange method, you can exchange it for 6,000 stone of food, but looking at the situation of those Han prisoners, Kebi can understand that his previous choice was right. Those Han people are so hungry that they are left with skin and bones, and if they really have to calculate according to the first conversion method, they will "lose money" if they don't do it well.

……

Liu Xie did not regret the practice of redeeming hostages with grain, only without the constraints of those Han people, Liu Xie could let go of his hands and feet to deal with Kebineng. What is 6,000 stone of grain? Even if it is given to the Xianbei people, whether those Xianbei people have the life to eat it is still two words. Liu Xiecai is not interested in comparing energy consumption time with Ke, he has a large number of siege equipment, and there are elite Han army on his side, so why waste time to compare energy consumption with Kebi.

The Han captives were redeemed by Liu Xie with 6,000 stone of grain, looking at the grain transported into the granary, Kebineng's heart was temporarily a little more steady, but before he could completely relax, the news of the Han army's siege reached his ears.

The roaring stone rain smashed the head of the city and could not occupy people, and the Xianbei people who defended the city could only shrink in the corner and pray for the protection of the god in their hearts. Kebi Neng wanted to go to the city to observe the enemy situation, but was hugged by Yu Zhujian, and no matter what, Kebi could not go to the city at this time.

When the stone rain rested for a while, Kebi Neng could finally go to the city, but when he got to the city, what Kebi could see was a miserable situation in the city. The attack of the Han army was so sudden that the Xianbei people at the head of the city were caught off guard, only a few lucky ones escaped the baptism of stone rain, and most of the Xianbei people were killed under the baptism, and stumps and broken arms can be seen everywhere. Even Kebineng, who has experienced a lot of Shura fields, can't help but want to vomit when he sees this scene.

It's so miserable!

Knowing that he couldn't continue to stay in Baima County, Kebi Neng decided to break through, no matter how big the casualties were, it was better than being stoned to death by a stone ball falling from the sky. There is at least one chance to break through and exchange lives with the Han army, but if you continue to stay in the city, there is only a dead end, and you don't even have a chance to find someone to die with.

Kebineng distributed all the 6,000 stone of food that had just arrived and had not yet been hot, and then selected the warriors in the army to form a death squad, intending to play the role of a spearhead when breaking through.

In the middle of the night, it is the time when people feel the most sleepy, the north gate of Baima County is wide open, and Kebi Neng Department goes out of the city to break through. But what Kebineng didn't expect was that the Han army had already taken precautions, and before Kebi could order people to move away and reject the horse, the Han army's ambush soldiers came out, the front row of shield soldiers, the middle row of spearmen, and the back row of crossbowmen, step by step towards Kebineng's men and horses.

"Rush, rush!" Kebineng screamed in a hurry.

The trapped cavalry is not as good as the infantry, and once the cavalry calls the infantry to surround it, then it will only be slaughtered. The Xianbei cavalry knew the importance of running, and could no longer care about cherishing the war horse under the crotch, so he pulled out a short knife and stabbed it at the back buttocks of his war horse.

Although the Han army tried its best to intercept, it still did not block the crazy Xianbei war horse, so that the Xianbei people rushed out of the encirclement, Kebi Neng also rushed out with the flow of people, but his son-in-law Yu Zhujian was not so lucky, in the chaos of the army was shot by a cold arrow and fell off the horse, and in the chaos of the army, the consequences of falling off the horse were very serious, and even the whole corpse was difficult to preserve, and later when the Han army cleaned up the battlefield, if it were not for the saber that Yu Zhujian wore to prove his identity, no one would have recognized that the corpse called the war horse trampling was Kebineng's son-in-law before his death.

And Kebineng, who broke out of the encirclement, didn't have a good fate, breaking through the first encirclement of the Han army, and there were second and third lanes outside...... The war horse is a living creature, and the living creature will feel tired, and when it rushes out of the second encirclement of the Han army, Kebineng's war horse finally neighs and falls.

Losing the war horse is equivalent to losing the chance to live, and when he sees the Han army surrounded by a person in front of him, Kebi can feel that his death time has come.
