Dong Heng and Dong Chao didn't expect that this Duke Chu would get straight to the point, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he would directly ask about the final result of his own general.

And what surprised them even more was that Pound actually directly stated the result of his consideration.

I saw Pound sigh, bow down and salute and say, "The last general is willing to submit." ”

"Huh? It turned out to be these few words? At the very least, you should pretend to disobey first, and then listen to how he persuades him, and then reluctantly agree, right? In this case, at least you will not be despised by the Duke of Chu, and you will only be reused after surrendering in the future, how can there be such a thing? I agreed so happily. ”

The two brothers had the same thought in their hearts, glanced at their master, and shook their heads tacitly.

But they saw that Chu Gong Liu Qi's face suddenly appeared with a strong joy, only to see him help Pang De, laugh and say: "Pang Lingming is lonely, why worry about the big thing?" ”

After that, I saw that the Duke of Chu appointed Pang De as the assassin of the state and the general of the tiger wing, and ordered him to command the original 20,000 cavalry, and added another 30,000 infantry and 20,000 horses to his command, so that he could guard the northern frontier for a long time.

Seeing that Liu Qi trusted him so much, and even raised the strength under his command to such a degree, Pang De naturally understood that Liu Qi was ready to make a move on these nomads, and he couldn't help but feel his blood surging, and from then on, he no longer had to look up to people and look at the faces of the nomads, as long as he was happy, he could even raze those nomads to the ground.

And this feeling is for a general like Pang De, who is deeply influenced by the traditional concept of Yixia, especially for seeing with his own eyes that the barbaric alien race often plunders the people and invades the frontiers. After the evil deeds that caused great disasters to the people in the border areas, it was really unimaginable joy.

"From now on, my Han army can finally raise its eyebrows, and no longer have to fear the oppression of foreign races." The excited Pang De immediately bowed down and thanked Liu Qi, not because he gave him how much official position and how many troops. Instead, he thanked him for giving him the strength to show his ambitions and destroy the alien race.

"Thank you for the kindness of the lord, even if the last general is broken, he will not be able to repay the kindness of the lord." Pound's face was agitated, and it was more like a fire was burning in his chest.

Liu Qi naturally knew that Pound was not a power-hungry person, seeing the other party's expression, combined with Pound's usual behavior and personal personality characteristics, he knew the reason why Pound was so excited.

But Liu Qi didn't deliberately say anything, because he knew. With Pang De's strength and talent, he can definitely fulfill his trust, and in the near future, he will defeat the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and even Xianbei, recover the territory of the Han family, and become a generation of famous generals.

Liu Qi entered Pound's camp and insisted on refusing to sit on Pound's handsome seat, but sat down at the head of the next one.

After you have to sit down. Liu Qi said to Pang De: "Ling Mingjiu has been in Bingzhou for a long time, and he has dealt with the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Chuquan, right?" ”

"The full name of this Hu Chu Spring is Luan Ti Hu Chu Spring. It is the descendant of Mao Dun Shan Yu, his father is the Southern Xiongnu Qiangqu Shan Yu, and his brother is Yu Fuluo, and later the Southern Xiongnu rebelled, and Qiangqu Shan Yu was killed, so because of the Fu Luo ascended the throne. However, Yu Fuluo escaped from the Xiongnu court after the civil strife in the Southern Xiongnu, and never went back after that, but led his remnants to join forces with Bai Bo and other thieves, attacking the counties and counties, bringing many disasters to the people in the interior. However, he also led the army to rescue today's son, and was rewarded, and later he relied on his strong troops, and even started the idea of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, but was defeated by Yuan Shao first, and then twice defeated by Cao Cao, and had no choice but to surrender to Cao Cao, was forcibly detained by Cao Cao, and died in a depressed mood. ”

Pang De glanced at Liu Qi, saw that Liu Qi was silent, and continued: "After the death of Yu Fuluo, he inherited the position of Xiongnu Shan Yu by Hu Chuquan, after he succeeded to the throne, the old king of the Southern Xiongnu who managed the old department died, and took the opportunity to return to his country, and finally became the real Xiongnu Shan Yu, this person changed the strategy of fighting against Fu Luo and the Han people, led the troops to attach to Yuan Shao, and had accompanied Yuan Shao to attack Hedong, but later the coalition army was defeated, and he had to return to his hometown, and later the Duke of Qin occupied Guanzhong and Bingzhou, and Hu Chuquan was attached to the Duke of Qin. ”

In fact, the matter is not that Hu Chuquan is attached to Liu Bei, but that Liu Bei is humbly and thickly encircled, and Hu Chuquan has gained real benefits, so he often sends troops to help Liu Bei fight, but at the beginning of the battle of Hanzhong, Liu Bei was defeated, Hu Chuquan saw the strength of the Chu army, and thought that the Qin army was not Erer, so he despised Liu Bei even more later, but he was afraid of Pang De's bravery, so he did not dare to force each other too much.

In fact, Liu Qi knew all this, but Liu Qi didn't say all these words, after all, Liu Bei is dead, and it is useless to say these unfavorable words now, but it makes others think that he is narrow-minded, and it also makes Pang De feel embarrassed.

Therefore, Liu Bei just listened to Pang De quietly, and then said slowly: "Lone knows that whether it is Huchuquan or Nalou, or even Pufulu of Daijun, the reason why he does not dare to force each other too much, in addition to the prestige of Duke Qin, the general's bravery is also an important reason, so Lone is ready to ask the general to write to the Xiongnu Shan Yu Huchuquan, saying that Lone is willing to ally with him in Baitu City north of the Great Wall, and invite him to go to a story." ”

"No." Seeing that Liu Qi was so solemn, Pang De hurriedly nodded and agreed, and asked the clerk to write a letter to Hu Chuquan in his own name, telling him about the alliance, and sending an envoy to the court of the Xiongnu king.

As early as after Pound's surrender, Liu Qi ordered his two personal troops to set up camp near Pound's camp, and then ordered people to transport a batch of materials from nearby Beidi, Zuo Fengyi and other places to solve the problem of grain, grass and military funds urgently needed by Pound's garrison, and then waited for the news of Huchuquan.

But said that the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Huchuquan these days are really not good, because the weather is cold, a few days ago there was a rare snow disaster, a large number of cattle and sheep in the tribe froze to death, which made food a strict problem, many herdsmen were forced to eat frozen cattle and sheep, but a small number of people were infected with infectious diseases because of this, which made the panic within the group even worse, so he ordered all departments to absolutely prohibit eating frozen cattle and sheep, but now the cattle and sheep have decreased significantly, where are the herdsmen willing to eat those cattle and sheep that are still alive? Because if they continue to eat like this, even if they can survive the beginning of spring, I am afraid that the breeding of cattle and sheep will definitely not last for the next year.

So it's still not that some people break the ban and dig up the dead cattle and sheep that have been buried and eat them, which makes the infectious disease even worse.

In addition, many hungry tribesmen are constantly protesting, demanding that their chiefs and chiefs can help solve the food problem, and many tribesmen are forced to join the gang by horse bandits, and guide horse bandits to their tribe to rob cattle, sheep and horses for food.

In short, the current situation is chaotic, and in desperation, Hu Chuquan summoned the chiefs and chiefs of various tribes to discuss the solution, and finally these chiefs and chiefs went to the Han people to rob them.

However, Hu Chuquan is afraid of Pound's prestige, for fear of annoying Pound, and fighting with himself to break the net, even if he can barely win, he will definitely be swallowed up by the Wuhuan and Xianbei people who fell into the well.

But Hu Chuquan couldn't find a solution to the problem, and he was very troubled. And at this moment, Hu Chuquan suddenly received a letter from Pang De, saying that the Duke of Chu was willing to ally with him.

Hu Chuquan couldn't help but be overjoyed, because he immediately thought of a solution to the problem, if this Duke of Chu was willing to provide him with medicine and food, he was willing to form an alliance with him, if this Duke of Chu refused, he had to listen to everyone's opinions, bribe Lord Wuhuan, form an alliance with him, and jointly plunder the territory of the Han people.

Although Nalou may not agree to send troops and is willing to see his clan's jokes, he believes that Nalou will not refuse as long as he pays a sufficient price.

Of course, this will definitely make the Xiongnu subordinate to Wuhuan from now on, and may even be annexed by Wuhuan, and such an outcome is obviously not what he wants to see.

Therefore, Hu Chuquan immediately told those patriarchs and chiefs of his thoughts, and those patriarchs and chieftains thought that this Duke of Chu would also be like the Duke of Qin, as long as he obeyed him and was willing to help him send troops to fight, he would be able to provide a large amount of supplies for his side, so they all agreed.

After unanimous consent from everyone. Hu Chuquan couldn't help but feel relieved, and immediately led a team to personally greet the Han envoys, immediately agreed to the request of the alliance, and ordered the secretary who was proficient in Chinese to write a sincere letter, and sent an envoy to accompany him, first expressing his admiration for Liu Qi, the Duke of Chu, and explaining the difficulties encountered by the ethnic group, and finally explaining that if the Duke of Chu agreed to provide them with food and medicine, they were willing to submit to the Duke of Chu from now on, and could help the Duke of Chu to send troops to fight.

After waiting anxiously for a few days, the envoy sent by Hu Chuquan returned, saying that the Duke of Chu had agreed to their request, but the specific details needed to be negotiated at the time of the meeting. In addition, the Duke of Chu also made a request, that is, to redeem Cai Wenji, a talented woman of the Han Dynasty who was snatched back by their clan.

"Cai Wenji? Who's that? Hu Chuquan couldn't help but be puzzled when he heard the report, and asked in surprise.

But suddenly I heard a thunderous voice beside me shouting: "No, uncle, Cai's family has lived with the little nephew for ten years, and also gave birth to two sons for the little nephew, our husband and wife have always been harmonious and loving, how can the uncle bear to let the little nephew and his wife separate, let the two children lose their mother?" ”

When Hu Chuquan heard that it was this person, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and secretly thought: "Hehe, Liu Bao boy, I didn't expect that the person Chu Gong wanted turned out to be your woman, since this is the case, then don't blame the old man for being polite." (To be continued......)
