Hu Yanzhu was strangled to death in a dream!

Before Chen Ping started, he ordered someone to send a jar of strong soju. {First Reading} People in Northern Xinjiang like spirits. In the early years, he often traded with the Yanren to buy some home-brewed Yanjiu. After the destruction of the Yan Kingdom, Yan wine became scarce. Although there are still merchants selling it, the price is much higher. Although Hu Yanzhu is a woman, she will not be worse than those Hun men when she drinks.

However, the soju improved by Liu Kan is far from being comparable to the Yanjiu in the early years.

The alcohol is high and strong. A jar of soju went down, and Hu Yanzhu was drunk. It is precisely because of this that when the time comes, it is time to die without suffering too much sin. This is also Liu Kan's entrustment...... From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to kill Hu Yanzhu, but there was no way to kill him.

Chen Ping said well, this woman stayed, after all, it was a scourge.

Let her go, that's impossible; Staying by her side, Liu Kan was not at ease. Not to mention bringing her back to the building, it would be purely asking for trouble. This is no ordinary hatred that can be resolved over time. The revenge of killing the father is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea. Even if this Huyanzhu looks like a fairy and looks like Chang'e, Liu Kan can't let her live. It is in response to the old saying: cutting grass must be eradicated!

It's just that when he thinks of these things, Liu Kan's heart will feel uncomfortable.

The bleak autumn wind swept through the northern Xinjiang and a group of Hun cavalry appeared on the vast grassland. The number of people is not too much, about 100 people. One by one is described as haggard and looks embarrassed. They all had weapons in their hands, but most of them were broken spears. More than half of the people were empty in their quivers, and their armor was tattered, and even stained with black blood, apparently having experienced a bitter battle.

The collar was a tall and strong young man. Although it is described as embarrassed, it still can't hide the fierce spirit in his bones.

Stopping in the middle of a small river, the young man untied his legs, jumped off his horse, and moved himself.

A man in his forties untied his coat from his horse, and walked up to the young man with a flatbread and a piece of dried meat: "Eat, my lord...... You haven't eaten in two days. If it goes on like this, the body will not be able to hold on. These people are still counting on you to lead them out of the encirclement. If you fail. Everyone is finished. You eat first, and I'll get you some water. ”

King?

Yes, this young man is the second son of Touman, the second prince who was defeated in Zhaowang City. At the same time, he is also the Zuoxian King of the Huns. Ali!

Since the ambush on Jitou Mountain, Ali initially imagined that Touman would lead his troops to support.

However, he didn't expect that he and his subordinates would become Touman's outcasts. Facing the elite of Lao Qin who came from Neishi County, Ali also really persevered for a while. But in the dilemma of having no food and grass inside and no reinforcements outside. {First Reading} was finally defeated by the Zhaoping Design.

Tens of thousands of troops, all defeated.

Ali took his own pro-army. Desperately fought a bloody way out of the siege.

Along the way, some remnants were gathered, more or less two or three thousand people. After the defeat at Jitou Mountain, Ali knew that he could not return to the Xiongnu. Touman will not spare him, and those so-called land kings and princes will not give up with him. Unless...... Unless he can do a great job. Otherwise, there is only a dead end to return to the Xiongnu. At that time, Ali was indeed very distressed.

But. This distress soon disappeared!

Touman encountered a head-on attack from Meng Tian's main force in Hengshan Zhaowang City. Defeat and leave. Ali also wanted to report back to Quyan at that time. The head man was defeated, and he lost relatively speaking. It's just a small defeat. With the background behind him, it is enough to make a comeback in the Huns. However, what he didn't expect was that the Huns were defeated...... And it was so miserable. Even Qu Yan was lost, and Mao Dun retreated to the north bank of the river with personnel and materials. Touman died at the foot of the city of Quyan, and Huyanti was also killed at the ferry near the river.

And what caused all this was actually the defeat of Fuping, who was almost forgotten by Ali

Just as Ali was at a loss, Meng Tian's slaughter order was issued. The Qin army in northern Xinjiang swarmed out, and in just twenty days, Ali encountered the Qin army eleven times. After a series of bloody battles, the remnants of the defeated soldiers who had finally gathered were now only the more than 100 people around them.

Henan, can't stay!

The north bank of the Great River......

Although there were still Huns there, they were all Maudun people. Under a series of blows, Ali also recognized Maudun's true face. It was a lone wolf, a lone wolf who could endure and be vicious and vicious. The defeat of the Xiongnu, to put it bluntly, was not to Meng Tian, but to himself. If everyone could have worked together at the beginning, they would have hit Xianyang City by now.

They are intrigued with each other and distrust each other.

Even fathers, sons, and brothers, at critical moments, will not hesitate to shoot deadly dark arrows behind them.

If the Xiongnu want to rise, there can only be one king. What four corners, it's all shit...... If this is a battle, when the power is in their own hands, how can they lose so miserably? Taking a hard bite of the dry and hard flatbread, Ali's nose was sour, and he couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.

Dry cake in the mouth, a little bitter.

But in this heart, it is even more bitter......

At this time, the soldier came over with a pocket of water. Footsteps sounded, and Ali quickly wiped the tears from his face and returned to his earlier calm color. No one can see their own tears. These people are still following them because they have not yet collapsed. But if you see yourself in tears, maybe you won't even want to look at the moon tonight.

Arley is no one to believe now.

"Uwe, have the spies who inquired about the news returned?"

The middle-aged man was an old slave brought by Ali's mother when she married Touman from Donghu. He has always been loyal to Ali.

Hearing Ali's inquiry, Uwe hurriedly replied, "I'm back...... It's just that the king was not in a high mood before, so he didn't dare to disturb. ”

If it had been placed in the past, Ali would have been whipped a long time ago.

But this time, instead of being angry, Ali laughed. He said softly, "Uvi, I know you're worried about me. But if you do something like this, don't make any more claims in the future. If we don't get the news in time, we can't make accurate judgments. Earlier, if I could have been careful and inquire more about the news, it would not have become the way it is now......"

Failure can be a lot more mature sometimes.

Ali closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Okay, let's talk." What's the news? ”

According to the Qin army, after the eldest prince retreated to the north bank of the Great River, he first ceded 2,000 li of land in Hebei and 30,000 cattle and sheep. He was a vassal to the Yue Clan. Then he led the remnants. About 200,000 people are ready to retreat to Wolf Juxu Mountain for rest and recuperation. ”

Ali looked up sharply and glared at Uwe. That sharp gaze made Uwe panic......

For a long time, Ali laughed. "My brother is really amazing. I wasn't convinced of him before, but now. But I really want to say that I am convinced. It's really a good plan, giving up 2,000 miles of land to the Yue Clan Country is actually pushing the Yue Clan Kingdom to the front.

Retreat to Wolf Juxu Mountain...... Hehe, to the north, you can annex Qikun and Ding Ling, and to the west, you can eat Hujie and Chongqiang. Not only did I stay away from Lao Qin's attack, but I also avoided the possibility of being annexed by my uncle...... The mountains and grasses of the Wolf Juxu Mountains are abundant, although they are not as rich as those in the north and south of the river. But it can be better developed. Better recuperation, better growth. Brother. You're really good...... Good, good, good! ”

Ali said three good things in a row, which made Uwe feel very confused.

"King, then should we go to Wolf Juxu Mountain?"

Ali shook his head, "No. With our current people, we went to Wolf Juxu Mountain, and if we don't talk about people's eyes, we will be killed if we don't get it right. Uwe, we can't go to my brother, the only way to do this now is to go back to Donghu, go to my uncle, and lie dormant for the time being.

Uncle is already old, and his children are not worth mentioning at all.

Uwe, let's go to Donghu...... In addition, you must keep the classics of the Central Plains people that we grabbed on the road.

Someday, I will definitely come back.

At that time, I will have to fight the old man again, the confrontation of the two outcasts...... Hahaha, I feel excited when I think about it now. ”

Ali couldn't help but laugh out loud.

How much bitterness and sadness there was in that laughter, outsiders couldn't hear it. Uwe and the others looked at Ali quietly, and at this moment, they only felt as if Ali had changed all of a sudden. In the sunlight, the back is extraordinarily tall.

"Uwe, divide everyone into teams of ten, two teams in a group, and take turns patrolling the surrounding movements. After dark, we set out and headed north from Gouzhu Mountain...... Although it is also the territory of Lao Qin, it is sparsely populated, and Lao Qin does not have many soldiers and horses. From today onwards, we will rest during the day and go out at night. Follow the water. As long as we can pass through the Great Wall of Yan, we will be completely safe. ”

Uwe and the others responded in unison and prepared to go.

And Ali stood quietly at the edge of the forest, and the corners of his mouth suddenly turned slightly: Old man, we will see each other again after all.

Liu Kan shuddered for no reason, and then sneezed twice in succession.

Rubbing his nose, Liu Kan smiled bitterly: "Who has such a good relationship with me, and actually cares about me so much...... Li Cheng, you go on, what kind of business is this Surabaya? Why haven't I heard of this official position? Also, isn't the eldest prince going to summon me?

It's been almost fifty days, and it's past mid-autumn.

All other departments have been assigned, why is it that only my troops and horses have no news so far? Do you want to stay, or do you want to go? I stayed in this barracks all day and couldn't move...... Look at Tu Tu, that kid is about to go crazy, he should give an explanation. ”

Tu Tu rolled his eyes, "There is food and drink here, why am I in a hurry?" I don't think I'm crazy, it's the military marquis, you're about to go crazy. ”

Everyone in the tent couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

Fan Hao said the truth, "Cheng Sima, it's really time to give an explanation." If we didn't have anything to do, I would still want to go home for the New Year. ”

yes, count on your fingers, it's been a year since I left home.

Not to mention that people with families like Liu Kan are homesick, Fan Hao and Ren Ao also miss their homeland a little. Of course, most of all, these people are not the ones who can be idle. It's really uncomfortable to be encircled all day long to raise fat.

Li Cheng said with a smile: "The general also knows that the military marquis may be impatient to wait here, so he summoned me over today, that is, to talk about this matter."

Xianyang's reward was only sent to Quyan today.

This time, the military marquis killed Tu Qi in northern Xinjiang, beheaded Hu Yanti, and beheaded countless people, and made military achievements. Therefore, he was the third level of the military marquis, the chief of the left, and three days later he returned to Surabaya County, and was promoted to the captain of Surabaya, and he was still stationed in Loucang. However, in addition to continuing to be in charge of the building, the military marquis also has to take on greater responsibilities. It is mainly based on the Huaishui line, from Daze Township in the west, to the sea in the east, to Dongyang County in the south, and to Huling in the north...... supervise the administration and law and order of the two counties and one county...... The rank ratio is 2,000 stones, although it is not as good as the county guards, but it is larger than the county guards. ”

"Ahh Liu Kan's eyes widened and he was dumbfounded.

And in the military tent, a series of boos sounded.

Li Cheng said: "This is a joint performance of the general, Pinghou and the eldest prince. The Prime Minister's Office did not agree at first, but eventually agreed.

Pinghou also asked me to tell the military marquis: When Your Majesty was in the court, he also asked Lord Shangqing curiously, who is this Liu Kan? Three of the four principals in Northern Xinjiang actually signed a joint performance? Marquis, from now on, you have already entered the ears of His Majesty. ”

Liu Kan couldn't help but take another breath of cool air.

Meddlesome? Bad?

He couldn't tell...... But one thing is certain, that is, he has been promoted and has great power, but from now on, his every move will be noticed by Xianyang. In the past, he could rely on the emperor to be far away, and he showed his power in obscurity.

But from now on, everything will be laid out in the open, and it will be difficult to have any secrets.

I can't tell what it's like in my heart, so I can only nod very mechanically.

"The eldest prince has now returned to Xianyang to report on his work, and I am afraid that I will not be able to summon you...... It's not easy for the Admiral and the Marquis of Peace to summon you now.

Pinghou said that the reason for this has already been told to you, and you will act on your own after three days.

Also, you were summoned to come to Northern Xinjiang this time, and your troops suffered heavy losses. And your task of turning back to Surabaya will also become more difficult, and without soldiers and horses in hand, it is obviously unlikely. Therefore, the general will transfer 500 floors of annoying troops under your command tomorrow. In addition, the establishment of the old battalion remains unchanged, and now all the 600 soldiers in the battalion will be taken away by you. As for the three hundred armorers guarding the Zhuang County, you don't need to worry about it...... The general will compensate the manpower to the Zhuang county guard. However, the general said that if there is a change in Surabaya, it must be for you to ask! ”

Liu Kan was a little confused!

He looked at Li Cheng in a daze for a long time, and it took a long time before he stood up, arched his hand and said, "Please tell the general that Liu Kan will not fail in his mission." ”

But in this heart, there are mixed flavors, and I really can't describe the taste of this.
