Chapter 112: A dilemma
On the way out, Liu Bao repeatedly chewed on Liu Yuan's bold words, but he didn't expect his son to have such great ambitions, which completely exceeded his expectations.
Could it be that his son can really dominate the Huns, the Han Dynasty, and eventually dominate the world?
Liu Bao shook his head, and instantly denied this possibility, this kind of earth-shattering feat, even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could not achieve it, how could his son do it? Don't think about it, let's solve it first.
Liu Bao led an army of 20,000 men along the Yellow River all the way to the north, and then turned east, heading in the direction of Jiuyuan City.
Less than ten days after the departure of his army, Jiang Wei's army also set off from Lanzhou and began to roll towards his base camp.
Liu Bao's army originally lived in the Hetao area, but it was transferred to Liangzhou, which can be regarded as a disguised suppression of Liu Bao.
But this kind of suppression, to a certain extent, has also allowed Liu Bao to stay away from the ruling core of humility, but has obtained a relatively independent space for development and growth, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, so every time he thinks of this, Liu Bao feels that it seems to be smart to be humble, but it is actually very stupid.
The army marched for five days and gradually arrived at the outskirts of Jiuyuan City.
Jiuyuan City is a city built by Qin Shi Huang after he ruled the world, and sent the general Meng Tian to lead an army of 300,000 to attack the Xiongnu in the north and conquer the Hetao area.
After the Qin Dynasty, the Jiuyuan region continued to fight, when the Han Dynasty was strong, it was often under the rule of the Han Dynasty, and when the Han dynasty declined, it would be occupied by the Xiongnu, whether it was the Western Han Dynasty or the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the national strength declined, Jiuyuan would be occupied by the Xiongnu.
And this city, said to be a city, because of repeated wars, the Huns are not good at building cities, so the part of the city wall that collapsed, the Huns will not repair.
Strictly speaking, it can be regarded as an undefended city.
After arriving in Jiuyuan, because he came back in the name of visiting his uncle, the clansmen who went to the Bei tribe could not stop Liu Bao from entering Jiuyuan City.
However, when everyone saw the 20,000 Hun army, they all showed a look of panic. This made Liu Bao very proud, he thought that with the military resources of Jincheng, the army under his command could definitely be regarded as the elite of the Huns.
He ordered his troops to be stationed outside the city of Jiuyuan, and he himself led his own troops to visit his uncle to go to Bei.
Under the guidance of the servants, Liu Bao came to the residence of Qubei.
I saw Qubei lying on the bed, looking haggard.
Liu Bao hurriedly walked in front of him and asked with concern, "Uncle, how long have you been injured?" Can it be diagnosed? Is it getting better? ”
He said, "It's you!" Liu Bao. You're afraid you've been hoping that I'll die sooner, right? ”
Liu Bao was asked by Qubei like this, and suddenly felt that his mind had already been guessed by Qubei, so he simply didn't pretend, and sneered directly at Qubei:
"Uncle, you're right, the position of the Huns alone belongs to me, so you can go on the road with peace of mind!"
With that, he reluctantly pulled out the dagger at his waist and stabbed it towards the humble couch.
Liu Bao's assassination with his hand, with enough strength, was estimated to be stabbed towards the heart of the debei, and he was confident that this stab would definitely be able to assassinate the degraded with one blow.
But the dagger in his hand, after easily piercing the quilt, was like piercing a piece of iron and stone, and it couldn't be pierced.
Liu Bao was shocked, countless questions appeared in his mind, he did not hesitate, lifted the quilt of Qubei, but found that Qubei was actually wearing a heavy iron armor.
The blow he hit just now only stabbed the heart shield on the humble iron armor.
"How can a patient be bedridden and wear iron armor?!" Liu Bao was shocked, but he reluctantly understood.
I suddenly woke up in my heart: "This humiliation is pretending to be sick, this is a trap set by humbleness!" ”
As soon as he thought this, the guards beside him suddenly swarmed in.
He jumped up from his couch and said to the people:
"Liu Bao wants to assassinate this king, he is plotting against him, come on, take down Liu Bao!"
Liu Bao suddenly panicked in his heart, seeing that there were more and more Hun swords and axes rushing in, and the number of his own soldiers was obviously less than that of the soldiers who went to Bei, and Qubei was simply pretending to be sick, and he had already held the scimitar in his hand.
Liu Bao knew that he would not be able to subdue and humiliate in a short period of time, and for the sake of today's plan, only by killing out of Jiuyuan City first and joining his own troops could he have a chance of survival.
Otherwise, he will be pitted to death by the old fox of Qubei in Jiuyuan City today.
"Warriors, follow me out of Jiuyuan City!" Liu Bao shouted, and then took the lead in drawing his knife and fighting with the Daobei knife and axe men who rushed in.
Liu Bao's personal soldiers also guarded around Liu Bao, in the direction of the city gate, and fought and retreated.
After finally killing out of Qubei's residence, Liu Bao's personal soldiers had lost nearly half.
There are more and more people who are going to be humble, and they gradually surround Liu Bao and his own soldiers, and they are about to be killed. Suddenly, there was a burst of shouts of killing outside the city.
Liu Bao knew that this must be his cavalry, who discovered the strangeness in the city and entered the city, so Liu Bao shouted: "Warriors, today we will fight to the death with the despicable and decide the time for the overlord of the grassland!" ”
His shout instantly aroused the fighting spirit of the pro-soldiers, and the pro-soldiers, together with Liu Bao, fought bravely to kill the enemy desperately.
Although the number of people in the Beibu is large, it is not as elite as Liu Bao's own soldiers, and after a while, more and more Liu Bao's troops entered the city, and Liu Bao finally insisted on his troops entering the city.
But at this moment, the pro-soldiers around him have already lost their ways, and he himself is also wearing several wounds.
Fortunately, Liu Bao himself wore iron armor and did not suffer any fatal injuries, and after Liu Bao's large army entered the city, he began to shoot arrows and set fire everywhere, and fought with the soldiers who went to Beibu.
Liu Bao originally thought that if at this time, there was only one part of Qubei near Jiuyuan, then his army would definitely be able to level Jiuyuan City, completely defeat Qubei, and seize the rule of the Xiongnu.
But after fighting, Liu Bao found that the situation was not right, and the number of troops who went to the Beibu was obviously beyond his expectations, and it seemed that other tribes had sent troops.
"This damn humble, he must have made an appointment with other tribes a long time ago and set such a big trap for me, just waiting for me to drill into it, wanting to kill me!"
So he immediately made a decision and said to his people:
"Warriors, go and humble this dog thief, set a trap for us, and if we continue to fight like this, we will only increase the casualties, we will withdraw!"
immediately led the soldiers under his command and quickly withdrew from Jiuyuan City.
On the way back, Liu Bao's army was extremely demoralized, originally thinking that Qubei would take advantage of your illness to kill you, but he didn't expect that this was a trap set by Qubei for himself.
Of the 20,000 troops he had worked so hard to train, more than 1,000 people died in Jiuyuan City, and more than 2,000 people fled on the way to retreat.
Liu Bao looked lost, and walked on the way home in a trance.
Suddenly, a sentry came in a hurry, and after finding Liu Bao, he hurriedly reported:
"Report! …… Baozuo Xianwang, Jiang Wei, the Liangzhou assassin of Shu Han, led the army and was coming towards the camp of our Lucheng! ”
"What?!"
Liu Bao was so shocked when he heard this that he almost fell off his horse in fright.
"Oops, now I have Jiang Wei in front of me, and I have been humbled in the back, and I am in a desperate situation!"
