Liu Bao roared and rolled away on the spot, avoiding the blow of Cao Zhang's snake spear, at this time Cao Zhang had already reined in his horse, abandoned the spear and drew his knife and jumped off the horse to chase and slash Liu Bao. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Bao picked up the stones on the ground and threw them at Cao Zhang, these stones are the size of a fist, and Liu Bao's hand strength is not weak, so the stone has the sound of whirring wind, although Cao Zhang is wearing and Mingguang armor does not want to be hard for a while, dodging to avoid the stone but seeing Liu Bao flashing past him like a leopard, and running straight to his mount.

This person's adaptability is really amazing, and he wants to take advantage of Cao Zhang's dismount to snatch Cao Zhang's mount and escape, at this time, the cavalry behind him is still ten steps away from the two, and Liu Bao grabbed the mount and has a great chance to escape.

Cao Zhang watched him rush towards his mount, sneered, pursed his lips and whistled, and the horse let go of its four hooves and ran forward, making Liu Bao pounce.

At this time, dozens of horsemen had already surrounded Liu Bao, and Liu Bao knew that he had missed the opportunity to escape, so he could only stay in the encirclement.

Cao Zhang retracted the ring head knife from the scabbard, and laughed: "You are Liu Bao, the king of Zuoxian?" ”

Liu Bao turned around and said in a deep voice: "I am Liu Bao, the Zuoxian King of the Southern Xiongnu. "This man spoke fluent Chinese, without the slightest foreign accent, and looked very young, only about twenty-five or sixteen, tall in stature, with an angular face, and a very different appearance from the people of Middle-earth.

Cao Zhang said: "Now that you are my prisoner, whether you fight to the death or surrender, choose for yourself." ”

Liu Bao said bluntly: "I wish to surrender!" ”

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves was riding, but Zhao Yun did not see Cao Zhang in the Southern Xiongnu camp, so he came with a sergeant to answer, and saw Cao Zhang capture the leader of the other party alive, naturally very happy, so everyone took Liu Bao back to meet Gongsun Xu.

When he returned to the Southern Xiongnu camp, the fire had subsided, and Gongsun Xu was counting the lost soldiers and captured prisoners, and when he saw Cao Zhang returning, he stepped forward to pay a visit.

Cao Zhang asked, "Bo Kang, what is the result of this battle?" ”

Gongsun continued: "My lord, most of the enemy troops have either fled or have died, and there are only thirty prisoners, and there are more than seven hundred war horses that have not been burned. ”

Cao Zhang nodded and said: "These Hun war horses are worth a lot of money, and this battle is worth it, let's go back to Linfen." ”

Gongsun continued to agree, and then led the army Cao Zhangyi to Linfen, on the way he and Zhao Yun reported the loss, this station did not encounter effective resistance at all, so the four thousand knights did not die, but some people were burned by fire, and the attacker was injured by the frightened Hun war horse, this battle can be said to be a complete victory.

At this time, Liu Bao and a group of Hun prisoners and war horses were surrounded by Cao Jun in the middle, all of them were tied by the strips of cloth torn off their clothes, Liu Bao, the king of Zuoxian, walked in the front, at this time his face was as usual, there was no look of defeat, which made Cao Zhang secretly surprised.

When he returned to Linfen, it was already dark, and the Linfen defenders saw Cao Zhang's return and immediately opened the city to greet him, Cao Zhang handed over the prisoners and war horses to Manchu to deal with, and chose to take Liu Bao to Linfen County Government, and at the same time informed Zhang Yan to record the casualties of the attack on Linfen and the captured prisoner materials and present them to himself.

In the yamen of the county government, there are only Cao Zhang and Liu Bao, at this time Liu Bao has loosened his ties, standing quietly in front of Cao Zhang, waiting for Cao Zhang to speak, seeing that his expression is calm, without a little hatred, which makes Cao Zhang a little strange, he killed thousands of people under his command, but he actually has no hatred, isn't it unreasonable.

So Cao Zhang asked: "Liu Bao, the 6,000 cavalry under your command are your relatives?" ”

Liu Bao said: "They are the most outstanding warriors in my tribe, and with the two thousand people who attacked your granary, they are already the most elite troops in my Zuoxian Royal Court. The tone was flat, to put it mildly.

Cao Zhangxiao asked, "Do you want revenge?" I'll give you a chance to go it alone, right now! ”

Liu Bao suddenly laughed, as if he had heard something very funny, Cao Zhang looked at him quietly, and did not stop his behavior, only to hear Liu Bao gasp and laugh: "Fighting alone? What's in it for you if I win? can only be tortured to death by the angry soldiers under your command, if you lose, it will just be humiliation, this kind of thing I Liu Bao will not do. Besides, my Southern Xiongnu often robbed you Han people and women, you should kill us, if you lose, you will lose, what revenge? ”

Cao Zhang nodded and said: "You are very open-minded, compared to many generals who lead troops in Middle-earth, we in Middle-earth, as soon as we fight, we will kill the enemy's entire family, otherwise his son will definitely seek revenge on you." ”

Liu Bao shook his head and said: "What you Han people think I don't know, the Huns, in my opinion, what the Huns, the Han Dynasty, Tuoba Xianbei, Qianghu, is just a game of people fighting for power and profit, today you are stronger than me, arrested me, I have nothing to say, how you deal with me is also your problem, my Zuoxian Wang Court now receives the news that I was captured, and will definitely establish a new Zuoxian King, after the new king succeeds me, he will not come to take revenge on me, if you defeat Qianghu and Tuoba Xianbei, then we will also be loyal to you." to guard the border for you. ”

Cao Zhang smiled: "Who did you learn Chinese with?" In Cao Zhang's view, the Huns in the late Han Dynasty were ignorant and uncivilized, but he didn't expect Liu Bao to be able to say these thought-provoking words, so he wanted to ask him who he learned Chinese.

Liu Bao said: "I didn't speak Chinese until I was 18 years old, but after I was 18 years old, I learned Chinese with Cai Yan, the wife of Youxian Wang, and now she is my wife. ”

Cai Yan, when Cao Zhang heard this name, he thought of "Hu Ji Eighteen Beats" and "Words of Grief and Indignation", and said casually: "I know your wife, his father Cai Yong is an old friend of my father, I don't know how many years she has been in the Southern Xiongnu?" ”

Liu Bao smiled: "I am twenty-six years old this year, and he came to the Xiongnu when I was eighteen years old, and it has been eight years now. ”

In this way, he is the Hun who arrived in the second year of Xingping, that is, in 195 AD, Cao Zhang secretly calculated, no wonder Liu Bao is extraordinary, it turned out that Cai Yan taught him Chinese, which is not surprising, Cai Yan is a talented woman who is famous in later generations, and it is reasonable to have this knowledge.

Then Cao Zhang said: "Okay, let's get to the point!" I can let you go and continue to go back to your Zuoxian court to be your Zuoxian King, but there is one condition, that is, let your Shan Yu stay in the Hetao area in peace, and don't come to Pingyang to disturb my Han people. “

Liu Bao shook his head and said, "I'm not going back!" ”

Cao Zhang asked, "Why?" ”

Liu Bao said: "I, the king of Zuoxian, now have no horses, no soldiers, and I will no longer be the king of Zuoxian when I go back, and even if I can continue to be the king of Zuoxian, I can't affect the Shan Yu of the Southern Xiongnu, in the Southern Xiongnu, the tribes are as many as the mountains in Pingyang, they want to come to Pingyang to loot, but it is not my Zuoxian King can manage, only after Shan Yu gives an order, these tribes will be settled." ”

Cao Zhang was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Then do you have a way to regain the throne of Zuoxian?" ”

Liu Bao replied: "There is a way, as long as you return my thirty clansmen to me, and give me another thirty horses, I will naturally summon new soldiers in the tribes attached to me when I return to my land, and return to the Zuoxian royal court to regain power." ”

Cao Zhangxiao asked, "Let you go?" So what's in it for me? (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
