Geng Yi was the general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with a silver seal and a green ribbon, and a rank of 2,000 stones, and his jurisdiction was nothing more than the border defense of the north of the Han Dynasty, including the northeast and northwest, as well as some government affairs issues related to exchanges with foreign nationalities.

General Du Liao is also a three-rank miscellaneous general, which first appeared in the period of Emperor Zhao of the Western Han Dynasty, in the third year of Emperor Zhao Yuanfeng, Zhonglang General Fan Mingyou was appointed as General Du Liao, named after the rule in Liaoshui.

The Eastern Han Dynasty started in the eighth year of Emperor Yongping of Xiaoming, and resumed the military of Liao generals, but it was not until the first year of Emperor An that his position was reset, and then gradually became customized, and Tunzha Wuyuan Manbo County.

Before the late period of Emperor Ling, most of the people who committed serious crimes in the Eastern Han Dynasty and were sent into exile came to the jurisdiction of the Liao generals and came under his control.

General Duliao was originally independent of the military and political system of the state, and the same Xiongnu Zhonglang General was directly under the imperial court, but now that Dong Zhuo is in power, where is the time to focus on the place where the bird does not, that is, even the constraints of the imperial court are almost non-existent, in this case, Geng Zhi is not a completely pure hearted person, and the world is chaotic, the collapse of the Han family is imminent, as long as it is a person with a little foresight, he can see a little bit of something; Although Geng Zhi did not dare to say that he had the ambition to compete for the world, it was inevitable to divide one side and try to protect himself.

Therefore, for Lu Bu, the complexity of the situation in Bingzhou is not only due to the eyesight of the Southern Xiongnu, Xianbei and Qianghu people, but also people like General Du Liao and General Zhonglang of the Xiongnu, who occupy a small place, and although they have an army under their hands, they are not too much, but many times, they are enough to become an important bargaining chip that affects the balance of the war, just like if now after he starts a war against the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yuting of Meiji, if Chen Gong wants to send troops from Wuyuan in the rear of the Xiongnu to invade the royal court of Meiji. In order to be able to directly smash Huanglong, this Liao general is a force that cannot be bypassed, and Geng Zhi's attitude at this time is particularly important.

However, Lu Bu didn't know much about Geng Zhi, and almost no one around him could understand it. Not to mention having to grasp the other person's mind.

But even so. He still insisted on acting, not to mention that at this time he just didn't move, the longer the time dragged on, the more fully prepared the Huns would be, the more unfavorable it would be to him, and at that time, I am afraid that even if he personally ran to Meiji to go deep into the tiger's den, he may not be able to lure the other party out, and he could not delay it indefinitely, after all, if the river thaws and crosses the river, it will be a troublesome thing to cross. And the surplus food you bring may not be able to sustain yourself, these are all issues that must be taken into account.

However, he didn't know that at this time, Geng Zhi, the general of Duliao in Manbo County, Wuyuan County, ushered in an uninvited guest.

It was indeed unfast, and Geng Zhi was obviously very surprised by the arrival of the comer, and he couldn't help but be surprised, because it was Zhang Xiu, the Hun Zhonglang general who he had never thought of, who came to visit.

Speaking of two. Because they are both in Biansai and are both Han officials, they are not without contacts and contacts, but in such a sensitive period now, and if Geng Zhi's news is correct, Zhang Xiu's people have been frequently seen in Shan Yuting in recent times. It's also worth playing.

However, Geng Zhi still asked people to invite him in. Good tea was also served, after all, the visitors came to the door anyway. Etiquette is indispensable.

However, what he didn't expect was that Zhang Xiu had a rare time to get straight to the point, and he mentioned the question that he was quite embarrassed about now: "Brother Geng Ren, this is really a treasure land, far away from the imperial court and the forces of the princes of all parties, and it is not the most direct target of the Southern Xiongnu......"

Geng Zhi smiled bitterly: "It would be nice if this was the case, but I don't know about it, and there are many difficulties." ”

"Didn't Brother Ren think about choosing a good tree to live on?"

Geng Zhi's face froze, and when he looked at Zhang Xiu again, there was something wrong with his eyes, "What does Ziqi mean ......"

Zhang Xiu's face remained unchanged, touching the short beard under his chin and smiling dryly: "Could it be that Brother Geng Ren thinks that he is a good wood?" In fact, it seems to Yi Xiu that you and I are at most birds, although we can fly freely in the world, but after all, it is not a long-term solution, unless ......"

"Eh......" Geng Zhi waved his hand, his face was ugly, and said: "Geng Zhi originally thought that Ziqi was a fellow Taoist, so he treated each other with sincerity and courtesy, but what does Ziqi mean now?" ”

Zhang Xiu knows Geng Zhi very well, he knows that the other party is not really resisting, otherwise he will directly drive himself out and never see himself again, but now he is only verbally rejected, which is obviously a drama.

Zhang Xiu was overjoyed in his heart, and hit the railway while it was hot: "Don't Brother Geng Ren know that General Fenwei and Wenhou Lu Fengxian have now arrived near Meiji?" ”

"Huh?" Geng Zhi was puzzled, Zhang Xiu said: "He is going to be a bait to lure the Southern Hun army out of Meiji, and when the time comes, Shan Yuting will be empty......" He didn't finish all the words that followed, but what he meant was clear, and Geng Zhi raised his eyebrows, showing the turmoil in his heart at the moment.

Zhang Xiu dared to tell Geng Zhi all the news directly, of course, he thought that Geng Zhi was still hesitating, in line with the idea of wanting to help this old friend; Of course, he is not so stupid, he has already taken precautions, in case Geng Zhi still didn't follow Lu Bu with him in the end, or directly went to the Huns, he had the means to solve him before that, anyway, he has done his best to be benevolent, and Geng Zhi should not blame him for being unjust.

In fact, Geng Zhi was indeed hesitating in his heart at this time, he was not like Zhang Xiu had the idea of self-reliance before, until the appearance of Lu Bu and the persuasion of that Mr. Liang, he took another path, and the reason why Geng Zhi has been hesitating is just hesitating who to follow, is it the Huns, or Lu Bu who returned to the state strongly, or other Han forces?

Logically speaking, it is natural to follow the Han forces, including Lu Bu, after all, he is a Han himself, and emotionally he will also be biased to the side of the Han people, but now the Central Plains is in chaos, the Han court is stormy, the princes are attacking each other, and disputes are continuous, even if a superficial peace is maintained temporarily, the expected future will inevitably not be peaceful, he does not want to participate in it, it will inevitably become a pawn in the game between the big forces, he just wants to survive, In this way, it seems that the Huns are more in line with his requirements, but the Huns are alien, and psychologically they can't pass that hurdle.

And the appearance of Lu Bu, it can be said that he can meet his needs in both aspects, but Geng Zhi does not want to make a rash decision, as the head snake in the central region of Bingzhou, Geng Zhi can't not know the current situation on Lu Bu's side, facing a huge challenge from at least 100,000 Xiongnu people, they are now thinking about whether they can win the war, but how long they can hold out, in this case, what is the benefit of going to the past, is it going to be a prisoner of the Huns again the next day?

It is precisely because of such worries that Geng Zhi hesitates, but today's arrival of Zhang Xiu made him see some hope, after all, he understands Zhang Xiu as a person, if he is not necessarily sure, he will not give himself to anyone lightly, and Zhang Xiu's frankness also made him somewhat moved, although he still couldn't give him any guarantees.

But Geng Zhi also saw very clearly, it is easy to send charcoal in the snow, but it is difficult to add icing on the cake, what if, even if it is just in case, Lu Bu still wins in the end? At that time, even if he is sent to the door, he will be despised, so why not just gamble like this, just bet that Lu Bu will win, even if he fails in the end, he can have a peace of mind.

Perhaps it was also from the depths of his heart that the balance was gradually tilting towards Lu Bu, so at this time, even if he was not so sure in his heart, Geng Zhi finally nodded solemnly to Zhang Xiu and said, "Okay, I will listen to you this time, I just hope that God will bless me as a big man!" ”

"Hehe, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty is the Son of Heaven, God does not bless his son, do you want to protect the steppe wolf?"

"Hahaha......"

……

It was getting late, and east of Guangyan County, Xihe County, Bingzhou, and the boundary monument land bordering Meiji County, the twilight sun shone on the dark yellow earth of the Han Frontier, but there was a group of people and horses flying from here.

On closer inspection, this is an army of less than 3,000 Han Chinese, and they are light and simple, but they are very fast, and only on some occasions and sometimes they will stop, and then kill, set fire, and extinguish the mouth.

These occasions are nothing more than those tribes inhabited by the Huns, large or small, but because the Huns have always lived in a very scattered place, the largest population of these tribes is only a few thousand, but it is not a problem for these Han cavalry, after all, one other party is not prepared, they occupy a first-mover advantage, and the other tribe of thousands of people is also difficult to really achieve all the people, excluding the old and weak, women and children, the real combatable soldiers are about the same number as them, but these are obviously the elite of the Han army, Even after such a long journey, there is hardly any tiredness, so it is easy to eliminate the other party.

Of course, they were only human beings after all, whether it was due to exhaustion or other reasons, and many people were lost one after another, most of them were buried on the spot, and then the group hurried on their way without the slightest stop.

Doing these things, each of them had no expression on their faces, silent, but they were so familiar and quick to do each of them, as if they had become a habit, although it didn't seem to be a good habit.

And often not wait for them to move for a long time, this place will usher in a group of people and horses dressed in completely different costumes, looking at the obvious dress of the Hun army, these people have anger and hatred on their faces, but in the end there seems to be a trace of fear, they often rush behind to appear in these trampled Hun tribes, there is no trace of the enemy as far as the eye can see, but it is always a miserable scene of their own people being slaughtered and injured.
