Xu Huang found traces of the Xianbei people on the shore of Shaling Lake in the afternoon of the next day, and he hadn't seen how many people the other party had, but since the other party had bypassed Tian Yan's army and rushed here, the number of people would naturally not be small, and it was by no means comparable to him and Lu Bu, a thousand people. Now it was too late to go back and inform Liu Xiu, and after urgent consideration, he went against the normal state of caution and ordered the scout camp not to hide his traces, and to kill the scouts of the Xianbei people when he saw them.

At the same time, he urgently informed Lu Bu, who was not far behind him, that he was about to encounter the Xianbei army, so please be prepared. Unexpectedly, as soon as Lu Bu heard that he had really met Xianbei people, he immediately became excited, and he accelerated to meet him, Xu Huang had already found out at this time that the other party had more than three thousand, which was twice as large as the previous party, and if he hit it hard, the loss would be very large.

Lu Bu disagreed, he patted his chest and said, who are we? We are the Changshui Battalion of the Northern Army of the Han Dynasty, we are the victorious division under Lord Liu, what is the great thing about just 3,000 people, Gongming, look at me today.

He asked Xu Huang to lead the army to ambush behind, with a single halberd and a horse, to stop in the middle of the road, with the fiery red flag in his hand, whistling in the wind, and it was majestic.

Murong Feng, the Xianbei handsome who led the army, was already taken aback when he heard that the scout had been intercepted and killed, and then he heard that there was a Han army blocking the way, and it was a single halberd, so he was even more worried in his heart, and ordered a centurion to come and see how to understand. Unexpectedly, Lu Bu didn't say a word, planted the banner on the ground with force, urged the horse to gallop, pulled the bow and arrows, shot down three in succession, and then the dancing halberd stepped forward, and rushed straight to the Xianbei people's main formation, one took a look at the face, and overturned two, circled the horse back, and killed three more people, so frightened that the centurion's soul flew away and fled in the wilderness.

Lu Bu patted his horse and chased three hundred paces, and a halberd picked the centurion off his horse.

Seeing the situation, Xu Huang hurriedly ordered an attack, Cheng Lian, Wei Yue and others galloped on horseback, and more than 1,700 soldiers roared angrily, killing like a tide. When the Xianbei people saw the ambush, they thought that the Han people had already laid an ambush, so they were so frightened that they had no intention of fighting, so they turned around and ran.

Lu Bu and Xu Huang then covered up more than 20 miles before they stopped their footsteps, and roughly estimated that in this encounter, they killed and injured more than 800 Xianbei people, but they only lightly injured more than 30 people, and none of them died, which can not but be said to be a miracle.

And Lu Bu killed the generals in battle, killing eight people in a row in an instant, greatly frustrating the opponent's spirit, which became the biggest highlight of this battle.

Poor Murong Feng didn't figure out how many people there were in the Han army until he returned to Murong Feng.

The sneak attack failed, Murong Feng thought that Liu Xiu had arrived, and did not dare to delay any longer, so he immediately led the army to fight and retreat, and retreated to Wuquan, north of Beiyu (now Hohhot City), which was considered to have left Yunzhong County with one foot.

Liu Xiu didn't go north any further, he stopped in Shaling for two days, and sent a letter to Tian Yan, I have insufficient troops and can't eat the Hongyue tribe under Jiuyuan City, and I need your help. Tian Yan already knew about the Xianbei people's sneak attack on his grain road and was resolved by Liu Xiu at this time, and he was ashamed, seeing that Liu Xiu sent such a good step, how could it be unreasonable, and hurriedly replied, I will be there immediately.

Two days later, Tian Yan left behind the men and horses who were sticking to Beiyu, and led his army to Shaling with Shan Yu. Liu Xiu went out of the camp for ten miles to greet each other, after the two sides met, they talked about the war, this time Tian Yan fought very happily, in the face of the Xianbei famous general Murong Feng, he did not fall behind, but fought even better, and drove Murong Feng out of Yunzhong County, although something went wrong later, but fortunately Liu Xiu helped him plug the loophole, which was considered to be a thrill. This war was reported to the court, and the credit was indispensable.

The army was combined, a total of nearly 40,000 people, and then marched westward, and when he heard the news, he did not dare to slack off, and quickly gave up Jiuyuan City and retreated westward.

Tian Yan demanded to catch up immediately, and completely crippled the Hongyue tribe with a thunderous force, and captured Helian alive. Liu Xiu disagreed, he just asked to divide the army into two parts, and take turns to speed up the pursuit, forcing the Hongyue tribe to not rest. At the same time, a group of people and horses were arranged to go out of Wuyuan and rush to Yangshu Lake to seize the nearest passage for the Hongyue tribe to return to the grassland. Although Tian Yan didn't understand, it was now within the scope of Liu Xiu's responsibility, and he couldn't force it.

Luoluo Jiuyuan ran all the way to Shuofang, originally thought that he could return to the grassland through Yangshu Lake, but he didn't expect that Yangshu Lake had been tightly guarded by the Han army, and he was waiting for him to throw himself into the net, and in a hurry, he couldn't figure out how many people and horses there were, so he had to continue to run westward. As a result, his situation became very difficult. When he invaded and merged with the state, he brought plenty of grain and grass, but he was attacked by Liu Xiu twice, and his grain and grass loss was very serious, and now he was being driven by the Han army behind, and the soldiers had no intention of fighting, so they only cared about fleeing for their lives, and the baggage team fell behind, and gradually became the spoils of the Han people.

Yinshan turned a corner in the area of Gaoque, and after the Qianluoluo arrived at Gaoque, he had to go south for more than 100 miles, from the south of Sanfeng, the northern foot of Helan Mountain went out of the stopper, compared to the plug from the Yangshu Lake, they had to walk at least 500 miles more, and these 500 miles became the sad journey of the Qianluoluo.

The 40,000 Han-Hungarian troops were together again, unhurriedly behind the Hongyue tribe, and rushed up to take a bite as soon as they seized the opportunity. Gandra did not dare to fight a decisive battle, so he had to turn around and flee again.

When he saw the shadow of Helan Mountain, there were less than 10,000 people left in the army of the Hongyue tribe, and the Wild Sand tribe that was supposed to be here to receive them couldn't even see a shadow.

He Lian, who had been silent, finally spoke, negotiate with the Han people, otherwise, even if you get out of the plug, you may not be able to return to the grassland alive, and even if you return to the grassland alive, you, a western adult, will not be able to do it.

He no longer had the vigor he had when he entered the plug, and he stared at He Lian with a pair of bloodshot eyes, and he didn't say a word. Regardless of whether or not Kazuen's original plan to besiege the Great Fortress was feasible, at least his plan to attack Shuofang and Jiuyuan was a complete fiasco. At this moment, he has come to the end of the road, as He Lian said, the Han people are likely to send some people from Gaoque or Jilu to lay an ambush on his way first, and give him a fatal blow, even if the Han people don't do this, with his current strength, he, the Xianbei Lord in the west, can't do it. The Wild Sand Tribe's Law Deduction and the Wild Wolf Tribe's Banquet Liyou did not suffer any losses, and they would definitely come to plot against him.

But the negotiation is different, not only can he return to the grassland unharmed, but also can redeem a large number of prisoners, restore a certain strength, so that those who want to eat him will not dare to act rashly.

"What can you do?"

"I can't help it, just try." He Lian said very calmly.

Gandluo had no choice but to agree to Helian's approach, and let him try to negotiate with the Han people to go back safely, and he could no longer be chased down by the Han people like this.

He Lian went to meet Liu Xiu in person, and the two people who had fought several times sat face to face for the first time.

"The prince is good-looking, not at all like a person on the grassland, if you put on my Han Confucian shirt, wear a Confucian crown, and walk in Taixue, no one will believe that you are a Xianbei person." Liu Xiu invited He Lian to drink and praised very sincerely.

"Thank you, sir, for your compliment. However, I don't have a prince in Xianbei, so please pay attention. He Lian picked up the wine glass and looked at Liu Xiu while saying quietly. He is proficient in Chinese, and he doesn't need a translator at all, so he talks directly to Liu Xiu.

"If you can't be the prince, why should I talk to you?" Liu Xiu smiled slightly, "Although you and I are heroes and cherish heroes, I also took a big risk by letting you go back." ”

"My lord, don't you worry that after I become the king of Xianbei, I will be against you."

"Not really." Liu Xiu shook his head and said: "We Han people pay attention to culture and pay attention to convincing people with morality. Soldiers, ominous weapons, will not be used until the last resort, but unlike those uneducated barbarians, they know how to fight and kill. You have also seen that killing and killing is not good for anyone, and since there is no benefit, why do it, why can't you do something that is good for both parties? ”

He Lian was silent, he had studied the culture of the Han people, but what he learned was not to convince people with virtue, but to be emperor. He didn't really care about what Liu Xiu said, and he didn't have much interest.

Liu Xiu continued, we Han people have always been very interesting to you Xianbei people, at the beginning you Xianbei people were enslaved by the Northern Xiongnu, we defeated the Northern Xiongnu and rescued you, and then we protected for us, we gave you sixty or seventy million a year, but you were not satisfied, and defected, there were no sixty or seventy million a year, and it was better? Is it better to invade every year, or to take the money in peace? You should be able to count this battle.

Liu Xiu said a great truth, and finally said, you go back now to persuade Luo Zhi Qianluo to bow his head, let him hand over the table, admit the mistake of this invasion, and promise not to make it next time. I can consider letting him go back safely, otherwise, I guarantee that none of the people and horses he has entered will be able to return to a single hoof, including you, who could have become the next Xianbei King. Look outside, I have an army of 40,000 and morale is at high level, and besieging your more than 10,000 defeated soldiers is no different from hunting.

Drop the table? How is this possible. He Lian waved his hand and shook his head again and again.

You have to know that my big man is a good face, if you don't surrender, what else will I talk to you about?

He Lian followed up and asked, then you have face, what good do I have?

You've got the lining. Liu Xiu said, I will suggest that Hu City be set up in Shuofang or Jiuyuan to trade with you. You should know who is most beneficial to trade here, and what is the significance of opening Hu City to the Hongyue tribe.

And Lian was heartbeat. The so-called surrender is just empty words, as long as you can return to the grassland, who will really believe that the paper surrender table can have any effect. However, the benefits of opening the market and trading were real, they could sell their hides and livestock in the Hu market in exchange for much-needed salt and iron and fine goods of the Han people, and there was no need for war, no need to pay a huge price, and it had a very positive effect on the strength of a tribe.

If he had facilitated this and saved the Red Tribe, Gandhara would have been grateful to him. In the future, when the Hongyue tribe is strong, it will be able to give him more powerful support. Western Xianbei remains intact, and the king will also look at him differently, and in the face of a strong competitor like Murong Feng, he has a few more chances of winning.

He Lian weighed the pros and cons in a very short period of time, and finally agreed to Liu Xiu's suggestion.

Liu Xiu immediately gave him a big gift: a "secret letter" from Murong Feng to Yan Liyou that he had robbed. In the letter, Murong Feng asked Yan Liyou to delay time, not to rush to join Helian, and let Helian face the strong pressure of the Han army alone, saying that it was to train Helian's combat level.

He Lian smiled silently, and said two words of thanks to Murong Feng, but Liu Xiu could see from the green tendons jumping from the corners of his eyes that this guy hated Murong Feng to the bone and wanted to bite him to death.

He Lian quickly persuaded the Luozhi Gandluoluo to hand over a despicable surrender table and offer a gift, and Liu Xiu accepted his surrender, and then arranged for them to have a hot meal, arranging for them to be stuffed out of the plug by chicken deer. As for the captives, wait for them to bring the ransom before releasing them, the price is easy for everyone to discuss.

For Liu Xiu agreed to the surrender of the Xianbei people, everyone has a different opinion, the Confucian scholars feel that it is better to reconcile, no need to fight, it is now the end of the first month, and it is about to enter the preparatory stage of spring ploughing, and it is good for the next Tuntian to solve the war as soon as possible. Chen Chen and Wang Lie were the main ones who held this view, and Yuan Shao and Wang Yun agreed. The generals felt that it was unnecessary, at this time, how clean and refreshing it was to directly destroy the Hongyue tribe, the Xianbei people were all white-eyed wolves, let them go back now, and when they relieved themselves, they would come to bite people. Lu Bu is the main one who holds this view, and Han Sui and other Western Liang are in agreement.

No matter how they argued, Liu Xiu had his own idea of Liu Xiu, and he asked Liu Biao to immediately write a detailed note, writing out his intentions in detail and detail, and at the same time attaching the descending table of the falling of Gandluoluo.

Liu Biao did not participate in the debate, although he agreed with Chen Chen and others, but he maintained his neutrality very well. In fact, he also knows that the Son of Heaven is now in Luoyang, and he is looking forward to the news of Liu Xiu's victory, no matter how many days this peace can last, this reduction table is always real, at least it can make the Son of Heaven straighten up in the face of the reproach of the ministers.

On the thirtieth day of the first month of the seventh year of Xiping, a fast horse galloped south along the ancient Qin Straight Road, and sent the good news of the end of the war to Luoyang.

…… The Son of Heaven sat listlessly on the throne, looking at the noisy ministers below, with a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth, but his mind was blank. From last winter to now, he has been tired of watching such pilgrimages, these people have not even let him live in peace on the first day of the first lunar month, and the thought of the upcoming suburban festival makes the Son of Heaven scratch his head.

The suburbs are the Son of Heaven to report the results to the ancestors and the ancestors, last year the suburbs just came back, the flat city gate collapsed, if there is no report today, will he collapse when he passes through the city gate, directly crushed him to death below? Even if the city gate does not collapse, but the pressure of public opinion from the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs will overwhelm him, he feels that although he is only in his early twenties, his back is already a little burdened, and Yuan Meiren, who newly entered the palace two days ago, actually plucked a white hair from his head.

Thinking of Yuan Hui, who had just entered the palace, the Son of Heaven couldn't help laughing. Yuan Yu, the middle attendant, gave the queen mother a gift of 20 million, and the queen mother agreed to summon Yuan Hui into the palace as a female official, and the Son of Heaven knew that this was the ghost idea of the Yuan family when he heard it, but he was not opposed to taking advantage of this opportunity to humiliate the Yuan family, so he asked Yuan Hui to make the maid book of Lantai, and then one night, he dismissed everyone, and between the bookshelves full of classics, stripped Yuan Hui's clothes, and took possession of Yuan Hui with the most brutal means. What made him even happier was that he also ordered Yuan Hui to recite the "Legend of the Daughters" when he accepted his favor in various silver postures.

Looking at the tears on Yuan Hui's face, the Son of Heaven felt more excited than usual, and finally screamed at Yuan Hui with a pleasure that he had never felt before. Looking at the white semen on Yuan Wei's jet-black hair, Tianzi felt a strange pleasure.

He fell in love with the game of insulting Yuan Hui and liked this strange pleasure. Only at this time did he feel that he was the omnipotent Son of Heaven and the emperor who was high above.

The Fourth and Third Princes? Isn't it just a woman under Lao Tzu's crotch, I can play how I want?

The Son of Heaven slowly developed a habit, once he was angry in the court, he returned to the harem and changed his way to torture Yuan Hui once. Thanks to Yuan Hui's physique, he is also the same age as the Son of Heaven, not the kind of little girl who is only thirteen or fourteen years old, she can barely withstand the torture of the Son of Heaven, and can explain the Son of Heaven in an ingenious way, gradually, the Son of Heaven got used to torturing her while listening to her analyze the inner thoughts of those ministers in an incoherent voice.

This feeling is very weird, but the Son of Heaven is hopelessly fond of this feeling, and his attitude towards Yuan Hui has slowly changed, and he feels that she is not so annoying.

In return, Yuan Hui's father Yuan Feng was promoted to Shaofu by Hu Ben Zhonglang, Yuan Shu also rose and was promoted to Hu Ben Zhonglang General, Yuan Hui was very happy, and he flattered again, and almost broke the waist of the Son of Heaven.

The Son of Heaven regretted it a little, it seemed that Yuan Hui now liked that kind of game more perverted than him, and he was tired of it every time, and the gloss on his face became more and more abundant, but on the other hand, he had a little sore back and weak legs recently, and he couldn't do it anymore. Even the tricks taught by Zhang Jiao couldn't be used, and he was defeated by Yuan Hui's counterattack several times, losing his armor and abandoning his armor, which was very faceless.

I have to let Zhang Jiao find some good tonics, otherwise this body really can't stand it. The Son of Heaven watched the courtiers arguing, thinking about his thoughts, and unconsciously had a feeling of being ready to move. The Son of Heaven quietly changed his posture, scratched his thigh with one hand, and hooked his fingers at Zhang Rang behind him with the other.

Zhang Rang hurriedly leaned over and asked the Son of Heaven with his eyes.

"Listen here, tell me if there's anything new." The Son of Heaven whispered a few words, quietly slipped off the throne, dodged into the curtain, opened a secret door, and left.

The courtiers below were arguing fiercely, and no one noticed that the Son of Heaven had left.

The Son of Heaven walked out of the main hall, walked a few steps, and just arrived at the Lantai where Yuan Hui was, but suddenly lost interest. He stopped in a daze, stood distracted for a while, and was just about to go back, when Yuan Hui saw it inside and hurriedly greeted him.

"Your Majesty?"

"Ah, I'm upset, just go around, you can do your business."

"Your Majesty is upset, the concubine plays a song for the drum and piano, how about it?" Yuan Hui said knowingly.

The Son of Heaven thought about it and felt that he had nowhere to go. Empress Song is pregnant with Liujia, with a big belly, she has no energy to wait for him, and there is nothing fun for He Guiren, since Yuan Hui entered the palace, He Guiren has to quarrel a few words every time he sees her, which makes him very annoyed.

"It's fine." The Son of Heaven nodded and stepped into the Lantai. Lantai is mainly a stone building, with a long corridor connecting more than a dozen study rooms full of secret books, and the middle one is where the clerks stay, and Yuan Hui now lives here most of the time.

"Your Majesty, I found a volume of guqin scores in Lantai." Yuan Hui led the Son of Heaven into a study room at the end of the corridor, which contained a lot of messy silk books.

"What sheet music?"

"I don't know the name, the concubine's piano skills are limited, I can't guess it, so I'm waiting for Your Majesty to hear it." Yuan Hui smiled, looking at the Son of Heaven's eyes sparkling, with a hint of mischievousness. The Son of Heaven was in a mood, but when he thought of his soft and collapsed lower body, his face drooped again.

He sat down listlessly, watched Yuan Hui tune the piano audition, and slowly became a little fascinated, the piano music became more and more excited, as if there was a killing atmosphere, déjà vu, but very unfamiliar. He thought about it in a trance, but he couldn't think of anything.

"Your Majesty, what kind of music is this?" Yuan Hui leaned over, his face was only a stone's throw away from the Son of Heaven, and bursts of faint fragrance poured into the Son of Heaven's nose. The Son of Heaven sniffed, a little emotional for a while, but he was still addicted to the music and couldn't extricate himself.

"This qin song is so heavy and murderous, and there is a hidden sound of golden drums, could it be a song in the army?" The Son of Heaven blinked his slender eyes, and his wandering eyes glanced at Yuan Hui's face, but there was no usual violence, but a reassuring sense of power.

Yuan Hui's heart moved, his nose was sore, and tears almost flowed out. She hurriedly lowered her head, wiped the corners of her eyes, sniffed, and said with a forced smile: "Your Majesty is really good at hearing, and the concubine also feels murderous." However, this song sounds high-pitched, without haze, even if it is a song in the army, it is also a song that won a battle. ”

"Winning the battle......" The Son of Heaven thought of the war in the northern Xinjiang, and his face couldn't help but darken. He has received Liu Biao's secret music, Liu Xiu with the strength of the Changshui battalion alone against the 40,000 army of the Hongyue tribe, but the Xiongnu Zhonglang general Tian Yan is interested in fighting for merit, unwilling to actively cooperate, Liu Xiu's battle is very difficult, so far, just seize the opportunity to fight a battle in Qingyanze, and then retreat to the big city to hold on. He was very angry, Liu Xiu's qualifications were insufficient, he couldn't give Liu Xiu too much power, he originally thought that Tian Yan and the others were all Duan Cheng's generals, even if there was no order from the imperial court, they should fully support Liu Xiu in the battle, let him fight a big victory, and in the future, he would be promoted logically and have greater military power.

Unexpectedly, Tian Yan actually played this hand. Without troops, how can Liu Xiu fight and win the battle? If I don't get beaten up, I'll be satisfied. He was very annoyed at the thought that Changshui Ying and Liu Xiu, who had put so much effort into it, could not bring him victory as expected.

When Yuan Hui saw it, he felt a little unbearable, but he didn't say anything, just quietly accompanied the Son of Heaven, and his slender fingers slid unconsciously on the strings. She is also paying attention to the war in Northern Xinjiang, which not only has her brother Yuan Shao, but also an enemy that she will never forget.

If it weren't for Liu Xiu's refusal to marry, if it wasn't for Liu Xiu embarrassing the Yuan family, why would she have come to this point?

Just when the two of them were thinking about their own thoughts, there was a rush of footsteps outside, Jian Shuo pushed the door open, his eyes swept away, he knelt in front of the Son of Heaven on one leg, and presented an urgent report with three cinnabar painted with both hands.

"Your Majesty, and the state of six hundred miles of urgent military report!"

(To be continued)
