159 Xianbei Raiders. Assimilation, Slavery, Killing (M)
Not long after, the number of horsemen rode directly up the hill, stopped the horse in front of Lu Bu's horse, and the leader said loudly: "My lord, someone claims to be the old man of the lord, and Mr. is escorted to Yanmen Pass, Xu Duwei does not dare to call the shots without permission, and sends additional people to escort Donglai."
"The deceased?"
Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, thought about half of the salary, but still didn't remember which old man it was, since the herald did not report the name and surname of the old man, that is, the person did not report the name and surname.
And such an old man, Jia Xu even sent someone to escort him all the way north from Taiyuan and chased him to Pingcheng.
Lu Bu was a little surprised in his heart, and in the blink of an eye, he still gave up the hard thought of searching his intestines and scraping his stomach, and asked, "Where is the person who came now?"
"The group walked very slowly, and it is expected to arrive in Pingcheng in three days."
Lu Bu nodded and ordered: "Okay, let him wait in Pingcheng, and if he is attacked by the enemy, be sure to escort him back safely."
The herald promised to leave, Lu Bu's original mood of chasing the past and the present, was completely destroyed by this episode, taking advantage of the fact that it was still early, he simply knocked the red rabbit horse, relaxed down the hill like a gust of wind, and directly did not even say hello, and rode the horse to the northeast.
Pingcheng to the northeast is only thirty miles, that is, into the territory of Youzhou Daijun, and then more than 100 miles, that is, Daijun County Zhigaoliu is located; Go to the southeast for only 100 miles, that is, the Daijun Beipingyi, stand on the bank of the Zhishui River, go down the river, that is, the Yishi, the Taoist, the East Anyang, the Sanggan Zhucheng.
Now these cities are all occupied by the Xianbei tribes, and Budugen's brother Fu Luohan is stationed in the Sanggan area.
Lu Bu walked to the northeast, just to see Gao Liu and try the reaction of the Xianbei tribes of Daijun.
As a result, after two short rests on the way, Lu Bu and his party rode a total of 500 horses until they approached 30 miles from Gaoliu. Only then did I see a team of elite horsemen in the distance, galloping at high speed.
Lu Bu simply led the crowd to line up in the local area, and waited there, and after a while, a fine cavalry of about less than a thousand people, with the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, rushed straight to a place where they could stop.
The whole fine ride, from the high-speed gallop to the formation of a formation, the transition between movement and static is quite smooth. There is no sense of stagnation.
Lu Bu's eyes narrowed slightly, and after seeing the shock brought by the seven thousand elite cavalry led by Budugen, and defeating it in one fell swoop, the elite cavalry in front of him was less than a thousand, although the cavalry controlled the horse Jishu has always been exquisite. Between retreats, it shows that it is skillful. But it still couldn't stir up even the slightest ripple in his heart.
The two teams of elite horsemen just looked at each other in the air. The scorching sun has begun to set in the west, and it is no longer as hot as in the afternoon, but the atmosphere here is heating up little by little.
Lu Bu knocked the red rabbit horse lightly and walked out slowly, almost at the same time. On the opposite side, there was also a rider who came out of the crowd, carrying an iron rod shaped like a mace, but the mace was stretched.
Seeing the vigilance on the face of the person opposite. Lu Bu couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, and he was also secretly thinking about whether he would be picked up with a halberd later.
"Lu Bu?"
After dozens of paces, the people who came stopped their horses and asked in a loud voice.
Lu Bu haha smiled, also stopped the red rabbit horse, pointed forward slightly with the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, and replied in Xianbei words: "Even if you have a little eye, you actually recognize me, what, are you here to fight, or are you here to submit?" β
"I'm here to ask for cooperation!"
"Cooperation?!"
Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, then he was on horseback, his face was cold, and he said coldly: "Who are you, why do you think that you are qualified to cooperate with me?" β
The reaction of the visitor surprised Lu Bu a little, he neither became angry because of this, nor did he retreat, but as if he was indifferent to Lu Bu's words, he was silent there.
Lu Bu was also silent there, time passed little by little, Lu Bu's surprise in his heart became more and more intense, just by intuition, he felt that the person in front of him was either the kind of reckless man who didn't know the seriousness, or he was an outlier among the Xianbei people, not like the ordinary Xianbei people, irritable and arrogant, but forbearing, and ambitious.
If it is the former, it is easy to deal with, whether it is taming and assimilating, or forcibly enslaving, or killing, it is not a problem; But if it is the latter, then we must be more vigilant, because if we are not careful, this kind of person may become the first wolf on the grassland or even the existence of the wolf king, and become a major threat in the future.
Therefore, for this kind of person, there is only one countermeasure that Lu Bu has drawn up in his heart, and that is to kill, either to strangle it now before it arises, or to kill it on the grassland in the future.
After a long while, the person who came to speak said: "In Xia Kebineng, the account is nearly two thousand, and in cooperation with the general, you can provide the general with war horses, cattle and sheep." β
"Oh, where Daijun is, isn't it a matter of Fu Luo Han, when will a Kobi come to come?"
Lu Bu asked this very plainly, but there was arrogance and disdain in his words, but in his heart, it was quite turbulent at this time.
The name Kebineng, he remembers, after Cao Cao unified the north, he was a powerful leader of Xianbei outside the Saiwai, and even Fu Luohan, as well as Budugen, the direct descendants of the two Xianbei kings Tanshi Huai, were killed by Kebineng.
Of course, the trajectory of the times has quietly changed now, Budugen has been killed by Lu Bu, and Fu Luo Han, who is entrenched in Dai County, if the great Sima Liu Yu who is stranded in Youzhou, Mu Lu Zhi of Youzhou, and Sun Zhan, the Taishou Gong of Youbeiping, are unwilling to respond to Lu Bu's suggestion and send troops to attack Fu Luo Han, Lu Bu does not mind sending troops alone, and will also include Dai County in Yanmen County and arrange defense affairs in a unified manner.
Now Ke Bineng, looking at the scale of the fine cavalry under his tent, Lu Bu judged that what he said about leading nearly 2,000 tents should be true.
It's just that Lu Bu has doubts in his heart, Kebi can come to him with such fanfare and talk about cooperation, although he doesn't know what Kebi can really want to cooperate with, but isn't he afraid of this news being found out by Fu Luohan.
With this doubt, when Lu Bu looked at Ke Bineng, who was silent again, he couldn't help but look at it a few more times, looking at his body shape and appearance, Lu Bu judged that he should have passed the age of standing, and according to the actual age of Xianbei people, he was always much younger than his appearance, and Lu Bu judged that Ke Bineng might be in his twenties.
Yiluo Xiaoshuai, who is in his twenties, does not seem to be the kind of reckless man, but a forbearant and ambitious Xianbei anomaly.
Needless to say, in a quiet moment, the Ke in front of him can be bone. has been included in the list of must-kill by Lu Bu, for such a person, there is no possibility of taming and assimilation, let alone enslaving, only to kill them to prevent future troubles.
No matter how Kebi could endure it, what intentions he had, he would never guess Lu Bu's thoughts, and after a moment of silence, his face remained unchanged. He replied: "Marshal Fuluo Han is stationed in Mudai County, and he is only leading the people to join him, not his subordinates, and besides, he is cooperating with the general. Not a betrayal, but just a collaboration. β
"Hmm. I see. But you did this because you thought that I wouldn't be stationed in Daijun in a big way? β
Kebi Neng showed surprise and asked, "The general is the pastor of the state, and this place is the county of Dai, which belongs to Youzhou." General ......"
Lu Bu interrupted Kebineng's words and said coldly: "Whether the Dai County belongs to the merger state or not, it is the territory of the Han Dynasty. I am the minister of the Han Dynasty, protecting the land and the people, it is my essence, if you want to cooperate, you should also withdraw from the territory of the Han Dynasty first, and then talk about other things. β
Kebineng was silent again, Lu Bu Haha smiled, the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand pointed at Kebineng, and sneered repeatedly: "I knew that if you want to withdraw from the territory of the Han Dynasty, there is no other way except to fight and wait for you to withdraw." Well, go back and tell Fu Luohan that I will lead a large army in a short time. β
After speaking, Lu Bu pulled his horse and left.
It was an accident to meet Ke Bineng this time, and it was not expected by Lu Bu, he led the crowd here, the original intention was to test the reaction of the Xianbei tribes of Daijun, and he was not ready to fight with the Xianbei tribes.
Therefore, if you want to kill Kebineng, you are not in a hurry for a while, the cities of Daijun are already connected with the Datong Basin outside Yanmen Pass, and between them and the Zhuolu area of Shanggu County in Youzhou, there are several steep passes that can be garrisoned, no matter from which aspect, Lu Bu is not ready to let go of such a large area of excellent pasture for grazing.
At this time, it was almost the end of the Shen time, and in more than an hour, the sun would disappear below the horizon of the grassland skyline, and Lu Bu led five hundred Han and Xianbei mixed elite horses, and turned south, where Beipingyi was located.
Beiping-eup is located on the bank of the Zhishui River, down the river, and there are also the cities of Yi, Daoren, Donganyang and Sanggan, which are the provinces of Fuluohan that are entrenched in Dai County.
If you want to attack Daijun, this area is the focus of Lu Bu's attack, and after defeating Fuluohan, the entire Daijun will be in the same situation as the current Dingxiang and Yanmen County Beidi, and will be in a situation where Lu Bu can take it and let it go.
Galloping more than ten miles away, when he was resting, Lu Bu stopped his horse and looked back, and he could see that Kebineng also led his army to retreat in the direction of Gaoliu, and did not try to catch up, or make a detour to intercept it.
That night, LΓΌ Bu led his army to spend the night nearly 100 miles east of Pingcheng, and the next morning, he led his army to continue southward, and then turned southeast, approaching 30 miles outside the city of Beipingyi, and was also intercepted by Xianbei Jingcai.
The whole process of testing was quite smooth, and Lu Bu almost detected the attitude of the Xianbei tribes of Daijun, they should not have raised a large army in the near future and marched west to Jihua in the Datong Basin, but if Lu Bu led an army to the east, they would also lead an army to stop it.
From this, Lu Bu thought deeply, and compared Fu Luo Han with Bu Du Gen, Fu Luo Han was obviously weaker than Bu Du Gen in terms of killing decisions, and in terms of prestige among the Xianbei tribes, he was also weaker than Bu Du Gen.
This can be seen from Kebineng's strange reaction, as well as the fact that Fu Luo Han has not yet unified the Xianbei tribes of Daijun to this day.
With this understanding, Lu Bu was quite satisfied with the results of this eastward temptation, and retreated straight from Beipingyi to Pingcheng, waiting there, waiting for the arrival of the so-called old man who rushed here.
After waiting for a day, in the evening, the sunset hung on the horizon, there was still a zhang high, a line of more than ten horses, carrying the afterglow of the sunset, galloping, and Lu Bu, only a few horses, greeted outside the city of Pingcheng.
He was bathed in the afterglow of the sunset, with a man and a horse, holding a halberd painted by Fang Tian, completely forgetting the curiosity in his heart, and immersed in the magnificent sunset scenery of the prairie.
It wasn't until the sound of the horse's hooves that he woke up from his intoxication, and when he saw the leader of the man, the lightning flashed in his head, and his whole body shook slightly, and he said secretly: "It turned out to be him!" (To be continued......)
