It was precisely because of this information that Zhang Chao decided to talk with Bu Dugen. Although he has now unified and merged states, his strength is still too weak.

The north had already offended the Xiongnu, and it was inevitable that the two sides would fight.

Relying on Yuan Shao in the east, the people rely on the name of the fourth world and the three dukes, the generals are like forests, the generals are like clouds, and the number of troops has reached 300,000, it is conceivable that once he takes Youzhou, the next opponent is likely to be himself. Time was running out for him now.

The south is slightly better, especially in the southwest, which is dominated by Cao Cao's forces, and he will not do anything to himself now when he reaches the pacification of Xuzhou and Qingzhou. But once he pacified the north and wanted to enter the Central Plains, this person would be the biggest obstacle.

There are enemies on the north, east, and west sides, and Zhang Chao set his sights on the west, if he can subdue Budugen, then his strength will be greatly improved, and it will also avoid the appearance of enemy troops in the west during the war. When it comes to the occasion, even in the face of Yuan Shao, it is equivalent to having the strength to fight.

With his mind decided, Zhang Chao came with the army. In order not to arouse the vigilance of the other party, he only brought five hundred cavalry this time.

It's just that for seven days in a row, I still haven't seen the existence of a single Xianbei cavalry. But Zhang Chao was not discouraged, he trusted the Tianyan Organization very much, even if their intelligence said that Budugen existed here, it would definitely not be wrong. If you can't see it now, it is likely that the other party is dodging you, and the time has not come.

The truth is just as Zhang Chao expected. As soon as they left Taiyuan County and entered the Hulian Mountains, the spies sent by Budugen learned everything and soon reported the news.

Bu Gendu didn't know why Zhang Chao was using this trip, so his subordinates hid it. Anyway, the Hulian Mountains are all connected by dense forests, and it is still easy to hide the entire part.

In seven days, the spies retrieved and sent back the letters left by Zhang Chao one by one. Looking at the above meaning of wanting to see himself, in the camp tent, Bu Gengen called his younger brother Fu Luohan and his subordinate generals to the mud.

"The general wants to see me, what do we think." Delivering the letter to the two of them, Budugen asked aloud what they meant.

The three of them are no strangers to the name of the general.

From Zhang Chao's entry into the state, every move from the beginning of the Song War has been closely watched. Until they defeated the Black Mountain Army and the Xiongnu, unified the state, captured Hedong, etc., the three of them were very clear.

Because of these deeds, the three of them are actually a little afraid of Zhang Chao. They can see that this person is not like the previous assassin of the previous state, nor is it like Ding Yuan who is just brave and unscrupulous, this is a planned and capable general of the imperial court.

Under the influence of Budugen, whether it is his brother Fu Luo Han or his general Hui Guini, they all have a good impression of the Han Dynasty army, and even have a faint idea of wanting to return in their hearts. The elders of the clan once said that some people had lived with the people of the Han Dynasty in the past, and found that the people there were technologically advanced, and they were able to make a lot of beautiful clothes and grow enough food for people to eat. It is far better than nomads like them, who feed on water, grass and livestock.

If you can learn the advanced technology of the Han Dynasty, or simply move into the Han land, it will also be very beneficial to the development of the tribe in the future.

At this point, Budugen has been infected by it since he was a child, and after becoming Shan Yu, he is ready to live in Han. However, at the wrong time, the princes in the Han realm rose together, and the wars continued, which was not as beautiful as the elders, which caused him to be indecisive and wandered around Taiyuan and Yanmen County.

The appearance of the root of the step attracted the attention of Kebineng, who was not far away. In order to strengthen himself, he asked people to convince Budugen and wanted to use it for his own purposes.

Knowing that Kebi can be a militant, it is difficult for such a person to have a good end, and Budugen naturally wants to refuse. In this way, the two sides began to have conflicts, and many people died until the later stage. Originally, Bu Dugen, who was going to be able to fight to the death with Kebi, only withdrew his forces after hearing that the general of the dynasty was going to enter the state and merge the state, so as to see the changes.

Facts have proved that Zhang Chao did not disappoint Bu Dugen, this person is brave and resourceful, and he quickly stabilized and consolidated the power of the state, such a person may be the person he is looking for.

It's just that although Zhang Chao is strong, in the Han land, there are still powerful princes like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. Budugen also can't predict what the future holds. If he had to choose, he would prefer Cao Cao's forces, after all, the Son of Heaven is in the hands of others. It's just that the current Cao Cao is too far away from him, so he will do it for the time being.

Zhang Chao, who is the second consideration candidate, has indeed suddenly come to his own territory, which has led Bu Dugen to face it squarely. And just an hour ago, he had just gotten the news of the battle between Zhang Chao's forces and Kebineng's forces in Pingcheng. I heard that the Hou Luo Hou Department was also defeated, so Bu Dugen had to gather his henchmen to make a decision.

After seven days, Zhang Chao, a Xianbei person, did not see it, but he still had no intention of retreating, so the other party wanted to see his own intentions and expressed it very clearly.

Only with 500 cavalry, there is no army to press the border, and this sincerity is also there.

That is, to see or not to see? If you do, you have to think about what to do.

"Brother, my suggestion is that we should meet us, no matter what, the other party only took five hundred soldiers to stay in the mountains for seven days, full of sincerity, if they don't see it, I am afraid that they will be led to the enemy. Now we have plenty of water and grass for cattle and horses, but what about winter days? We don't have much food left. After hearing Budugen's inquiry, Fu Luohan was the first to stand up and express his opinion.

"Hmm." Budugen nodded after hearing this.

That's where Shan Yu gets a headache.

To say that the population of the tribe to which Budugen belongs is really quite large, it has reached 300,000, of which 50,000 are in the prime of life alone, and in addition to young women and children, there are tens of thousands of old people. They are people who only know how to consume food, but they can't contribute much.

In summer, as long as there is enough rain, the grass will be one after another, which can be used for the growth of cattle, sheep and horses, but what about winter? At that time, they can only be killed, but what will happen in the coming year, so the life of killing chickens and eggs is destined not to last long.

Budugen also hopes that he can be like those people in the Han realm, and he can grow his own village and marry. It's just that there aren't enough technology and seeds; Second, there is no fertile land in the area, and once the heavy rain comes, it is likely to be inundated, resulting in no harvest, if so, what will 300,000 people eat? Do you want to starve to death?

The looming problem led Budugen to think about the future.

A good leader must know the foresight and solve the short-term worries, otherwise, it will not be possible to have a long-term future. Seeing that the hopes of 300,000 people were pinned on him, he felt more and more that he had to find a path to immortality, so that the tribe's trust in him would not be lost.

And Zhang Chao's arrival led Budugen to seem to find hope. As a close neighbor, he knows exactly what kind of life the people of Bingzhou are living now, and if he can unite with them, at least the problem of food will be solved first.

When Budugen was still about to think, the sound of returning to the mud sounded. "Shan Yu, as long as I can kill Kebineng, I am my friend."

He was the general of the army in this tribe, and he was extremely powerful and powerful, and once had a record of killing a cow with one punch, and was called Battle (the title of warrior) by the people of this tribe. He was originally a general under Kebineng, but because his father offended this person, he was killed, so he had the revenge of killing his father, and he was lobbied by Bu Dugen.

For the leaking mud, it is enough to avenge the murder of his father, and it doesn't matter who he unites with.

Du Gen nodded and said, "In this way, it seems that the only one who can avenge your father is this general." ”

Yuan Shao is very hopeful that he can defeat Kebineng, but now the hope of uniting with him has become slim, but Zhang Chao, Pingcheng battle, everyone seems to have fallen into a situation of not dying.

...... ......

Zhang Chao came to the Hulian Mountains for seven days.

For seven days, he had been wandering around with five hundred Zhangjia light cavalry, but he didn't even see a shadow of the Xianbei cavalry, Zhao Yun and General Zhang Liao were so anxious that he did smile like a flower on his face.

"Mr. Jia, why is the lord so happy?" Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao were very puzzled, and they couldn't ask each other, so they had to ask Jia Xu, who was accompanying him, what was going on.

Jia Xu chuckled, "Isn't this difficult to be happy about?" ”

"What's the joy of not even seeing anyone?" The two generals looked puzzled.

Jia Xu smiled again: "Let me ask you, is this Hulian Mountain Range the territory of the Budugen tribe?" ”

"yes." The two generals nodded, although they didn't see the Xianbei cavalry, but they could see a lot of horses' hoof prints on the roads beside some mountain ranges, which was enough to show that this was the place where the Xianbei cavalry was active.

"If so, we have been here for seven days, and how can they not know it? But if we didn't show up once, doesn't that mean that they have no intention of attacking us, and shouldn't we be happy on that basis? When Jia Xu said this, his face also smiled like a flower towards Zhang Chao.

At the earliest, he still had some disapproval of Zhang Chao only bringing 500 cavalry into the Hulian Mountains. Although all kinds of signs show that Budugen has no intention of making enemies with them, after all, this is an act of entering the tiger's den, and it is still too risky for only five hundred cavalry.
