This *** sun, it's really dazzling! Du Yu rode the horse to stand in Panyang Mountain in the sky, like Niu Chuan and Yu Yanshui, and muttered a few words, the sun just rose higher and higher from that direction.

Liu Weichen next to him said with a smile: "Dudu, this is only the April sun, and it is not poisonous." ”

Hearing this, Du Yu turned his head and scolded Liu Weichen with a smile and said, "You kid understands!" ”

Liu Weichen has been a lieutenant under Du Yu for three years, and the two have a very tacit understanding, Liu Weichen naturally knows that Du Yu is scolding the Hun leader He Laitou by taking advantage of the dazzling sun in the east, so he said a word that was not asked, purely making a joke about Du Yu, the governor of Shuozhou.

"This He Laitou is really a character, since the twelfth year of Yonghe left Yan and returned to my Beifu, he has always behaved in a middle and middle distance, and even expanded the camp from Danhan Mountain to Niuchuan and Yuyanshui. Unexpectedly, he was a white-eyed wolf. Jokes aside, Liu Weichen quickly shifted the conversation to the main topic.

"This bastard can really pretend, for three years, this kid has been under our noses for three years, and he is actually the nail that Yan Guo buried in our northern capital Shuozhou, I really don't know what means Yan Guo used to make this He Laitou so loyal."

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Du Yu shook his head and said, there was no smile on his face, only solemnity and a faint trace of worry.

"Governor, do you mean that there is a future to Ho Lai's uprising?" Liu Weichen can also be regarded as an upper-middle talent, and when he heard Du Yu say this, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and his expression became a little dignified.

He looked down and thought for a moment. Raising his head, he said a little suspiciously: "No, there are only nearly 40,000 people in the head of He Lai's department, although there is Yan Guo behind the support, but the Danhan Mountain and Yuyanshui west where they are located have our Shuozhou blocking their way, and there are Modong General Fei Tinggu and General Nuoshui in the north to seal the army and leave the army, what can he do?" ”

Liu Weichen already knew in his heart when he heard this, in the west of Helai's head land is part of the jurisdiction of the former Yanmen and Dai County that Shuozhou is "temporarily managed", and then to the west is the hinterland of Shuozhou such as Yunzhong and Wuyuan. There are tens of thousands of soldiers in these counties alone under the jurisdiction of Du Yu, the governor of Shuozhou. More than enough to deal with the thousands of rebels at Horaitou. At the very least, it will be difficult for Ho Lai to move west half a step. And there are tens of thousands of soldiers in the north and south of the desert, and if you count the Beihai general Lu Zhen's department in the north and south of the earthquake, it is easy for He Lai to die without knowing how to die.

Seeing that Liu Weichen had understood what he meant, Du Yu couldn't help frowning slightly: "He Laitou can endure for three years, and he can be regarded as a character, how can Yan Guo easily expose this vital chess piece to the environment surrounded by strong enemies." If this is the case, we also think too highly of the Murong brothers. ”

Liu Weichen thought so. He nodded silently.

The two rode their horses and stood there in silence for a long time, still feeling clueless.

"Forget it, we will respond to all changes with the same, guard the line of Qingniu Mountain and Panyang Mountain, and don't let He Laitou enter Yunzhong County, as long as we hold on for two or three months, not only can the soldiers of the desert and the north of the desert be assembled, but also the reinforcements of the north and the state will also come up. At that time, it will be He Laitou and the Murong brothers, and no matter what tricks they have, it will be in vain. Du Yu finally said.

"That's all there is to it!" Liu Weichen said helplessly.

Du Yu kicked the spurs. The mount neighed and spread its hooves and ran down the mountain, Liu Weichen and hundreds of followers followed closely, and the entire Panyang Mountain suddenly resounded with the sound of horses' hooves. Echoing in this fertile grassland.

Forty miles away from Panyang Mountain, a continuous camp appeared in Du Yu's sight, this was his destination, Captain Yunzhong Liu Xibeqi led the military headquarters of Yunzhong Prefecture.

Du Yu reined in his mount in front of the camp gate, quickly turned over and dismounted. At this time, a few people walked out of the camp gate, and the leader was burly and majestic, about thirty years old, wearing a set of black armor of General Mingguang Shanwen, it was Liu Xibe, the captain of Yunzhong, and the bearded man next to him was his milk brother, Liu Pingchang, the deputy captain of Yunzhong.

"I've seen Lord Dudu!" Liu Xibei bowed his hand and said loudly, and everyone behind him also saluted together.

"Alright, don't come to this set." Du Yugong smiled and said, he is very familiar with the Liu family brothers, so there is not so much etiquette and politeness.

"Big brother! Hire Brother Chang! Liu Weichen said with a smile next to him.

Liu Xibe's eyes glared and said: "Be serious, there is no rule in front of the governor!" ”

When Liu Weichen heard this, he quickly shrank his head and hid behind Du Yu. The two brothers of the Liu family served in Shuozhou together, the eldest Liu Xibei was appointed as Lieutenant Yun Zhong, and Liu Weichen had always followed Du Yu's side, but they also met from time to time.

Du Yu saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but smile in his heart, he knew that Liu Xibeqi seemed to be very strict with Liu Weichen, but in fact, he loved this younger brother the most.

Everyone walked into the camp together, and Du Yu found that it was orderly inside, and the soldiers in black armor were busy, some were feeding the horses, some were washing the horses, some were sorting out the ordnance, and some were sorting out the grain and grass.

"Da Liu, how are your men gathered?" Du Yu turned to Liu Xibeqi and asked.

"Back to the governor, all the four thousand Yunzhong soldiers of my command are gathered here, and they are fully prepared, as long as the rebels of Helaitou dare to attack, we will immediately beat him and break the blood." Liu Xibeqi replied confidently. Du Yu knew that he had this confidence, although these four thousand soldiers were from the Dugu Division, the Bai Department and other original national departments, they were all brought out by Liu Xibeqi, and he was not in vain in his three years in Yunzhong County.

"I know in my heart, and it is because I have faith in you that I left the soldiers of Wuyuan and Shuofang County in the clouds to Shengle." Speaking of this, Du Yu lowered his voice and said "quietly", but everyone heard it in their ears.

"I actually want to leave this credit to you, the first five or six thousand men and horses of Ho Lai, the rabble, should not be the opponent of your four thousand soldiers."

"What do you mean, Dudu?" Liu Xibe's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked.

"As you all know, according to our Beifu military system, the military governors, captains and commanders of the Xiang army are the same. Five-year rotation. We have only been in Shuozhou for more than three years, and we shouldn't have changed guards. It's just that because of the general of Beifu's westward expedition and the unclear situation in Jizhou, it is necessary to change the guard in advance. I have already received a letter from the General's Mansion, and our brothers should be transferred after the middle of the year. Du Yudi's words made Liu Xibei stunned for a moment, the look in his eyes was a little lost, he and Liu Pingchang glanced at each other, but did not answer.

Du Yu smiled slightly: "Are you reluctant to bring out the soldiers?" "According to the military system of the Northern Prefecture. The change of lieutenant of the governor is only to rotate the leading officers. But the troops to which they belong will not move with them. Even moving is another set of regulation and defense system. According to Zeng Hua's military construction strategy for Beifu, the government soldiers and the box army are divided into infantry, cavalry, navy, chariot soldiers, baggage soldiers and other arms, all of which have a complete set of systems such as standard drills, plus non-commissioned officers and middle and low-level officers to support, so for generals and senior officers, "compatibility" is not very strict, so Zeng Hua formulated a five-year transfer system. In order to prevent someone from abusing their power and disorder.

Seeing Liu Xibeqi nodding reluctantly, Du Yu encouraged

In fact, this is because the General's Mansion values us, if it weren't for the fact that our brothers are valued by the big guys, they wouldn't have replaced us in advance. ”

Du Yu paused for a moment and continued: "It is precisely because of this that I will let you lead the soldiers of Yunzhong County to resist the enemy and quell the rebellion here, as long as you grasp it well, you will get this military merit." With this transfer, he should be able to be promoted to general. ”

Liu Xibe's eyes were red. After being stunned for a while, he suddenly laughed, as if he had made up his mind: "The governor said yes." In this case, we should prepare well and fight this battle well, so as not to live up to the expectations of the governor. Speaking of this, Liu Xibei prayed to Du Yu and said solemnly: "The Governor loves and cares for our brothers, and we should keep it in mind. ”

Hearing this, Du Yu found that Liu Xibeqi and Liu Pingchang's eyes flashed a dark color, and it seemed that he was still reluctant to give up this Yunzhong Mansion soldier, and he was not like this, and it was difficult to give up this Shuozhou Mansion soldier.

But Liu Weichen said excitedly: "Governor, where do you think we will be transferred?" ”

Du Yu turned his head and replied, "I don't know about this." However, I think our brothers should be separated, and the place to go is nothing more than the Kwantung and Western Regions fronts, and the General's Mansion should want us to take responsibility for one side. ”

"It's a good feeling!" Liu Weichen became more and more happy, each responsible party meant that they could lead the army to the front line alone, maybe they could have the opportunity to lead the Xiang army, how good it would be, especially for Liu Weichen, who had been following Du Yu, it was a good thing.

But Liu Xibeqi and Liu Pingchang were not so excited, after all, the Yunzhong County where they are now located can also be regarded as the front line.

After a few people talked for a while, they soon turned to the Holaytou rebels, which was their most important purpose now. Liu Xibeqi is very familiar with the rebels, and when it comes to military intelligence, he is very reasonable.

"He Lai's head department can also be regarded as a branch of the Huns," Speaking of this, Liu Xi Beqi showed an unpredictable look on his face, Du Yu knew in his heart that Liu Xi Beqi had always thought that he was the heir of the Xiongnu, and his words always revealed nostalgia and yearning for the heyday of the Huns. Du Yu thinks that this is normal, just as the descendants of the Xiongnu like Liu Xibeqi yearn for the strength of the Maodun era, and Du Yu also yearns for the glory of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Xibeqi quickly returned to the original topic: "The head of He Lai has always been entrenched in the area of Danhan Mountain, Yuyanshui and Niuchuan, with a population of more than 40,000 and more than 5,000 soldiers and horses. According to Tanma's intelligence, the main forces of the rebels were all concentrated in Niuchuan, which was only more than 60 miles away from us. In view of this situation, I am going to send men to lure the rebels to the west first, and then ambush them on the road. ”

"Yes, this strategy is right, we can't waste it here, ambush is our Beifu army's specialty. But this He Laitou is not stupid, how to let him go west depends on your Liu Xibei prayer ability. Give you five days to get moving. Du Yu continued.

The military negotiation ended quickly, and Du Yu knew that Liu Xibeqi was also a general, so he just said a few words, and then asked Liu Xibeqi to let go and prepare. Then Du Yu walked around the barracks a few times, checked it and put his mind at ease. Originally, he wanted to meet with a few clerks and listen to their reports, but because he had to hurry back to Shengle to deal with some military information, he postponed it until later, because Du Yu would come over in a few days to see Liu Xibe's troops attack Ho Lai's head. In the minds of many, this rebel army should have been sentenced to death.

Four days later, Du Yu rushed over with Liu Weichen again, because Liu Xibeqi sent someone to report that the plan to lure the enemy should have been successful. There were signs of a stirring in Horai's head, and the ambush battle should have been these days. Du Yu hurriedly rushed over, not only to pray for Liu Xibei to suppress the formation, but also to cheer him up.

The Panyang Mountain barracks were even more tense than in the past few days, but they became more solemn, and only half of the officers and soldiers were on guard there. Du Yu knew in his heart that he knew that the other part of the officers and soldiers had already gone out in batches and were ready to go to war.

Walked into the middle tent surrounded by Liu Xibe's pro-soldier team. Du Yu smiled and said, "Da Liu." It looks like a real war is going to be. With such a tight guard, are you still afraid that Horaitou will attack your camp? ”

Liu Xibeqi and Liu Pingchang smiled, but they laughed extremely stiffly, which made Du Yu feel a little weird, could it be that these two people were still so nervous before the war?

"By the way, Da Liu, you arrange yours. I talked to a couple of clerks, and last time they said they had something to do with me. I'll take the time to talk to them now, or I don't know how long the war will drag on when it starts. ”

Du Yu walked into the middle tent as he spoke, but saw a stranger sitting inside, holding the mare's milk wine in front of him and savoring it.

"Da Liu, what's going on?" Du Yu's heart moved, he felt that something was wrong, and frowned and asked Liu Xi not to pray.

Liu Xi didn't pray. But he didn't speak. just stood there with his head buried, and Liu Ping was also embarrassed.

"Big brother, what are you doing here?" Liu Weichen also felt that something was wrong. Asked in a loud voice.

"The contemptible man is the head of Ho Lai!" The stranger Shi Shiran stood up and arched his hand.

Liu Weichen felt like a thunderbolt sounding in his ears, his mind was clouded all of a sudden, and he looked at Liu Xibei blankly, but his hand pointed at He Lai's head, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Du Yu had already come back to his senses, looked at Liu Xibeqi coldly and said, "Liu Xibeqi, have you really thought about it?" ”

Liu Xibeqi's eyes suddenly turned red, he has been a colleague for three years, and he has both admiration and brotherly affection for this boss. The scenes of the past replayed in his mind like lightning, Du Yu's care and love for the three of their brothers, just like a caring brother, but now he wants to betray and betray this brother, how can he not let this Hun man break his liver and intestines.

"Big brother, how can you do such a thing?" Liu Weichen finally came to his senses, he roared loudly, and pulled out his waist knife in his hand.

At this time, dozens of people rushed in from outside the tent gate, it was Liu Xibeqi's personal soldiers, they surrounded Du Yu and Liu Weichen, and the blade pointed directly at Du Yu with a calm face and Liu Weichen with a sad and angry face.

"General Liu for the revival of the Huns, lying on the salary for several years, finally raised the banner of rebellion today, in order to let our Huns return to the Mobei royal court and restore the glory of the past. Second General Liu, don't you still understand General Liu's painstaking efforts? He Laitou opened his mouth to persuade Liu Weichen to come.

Liu Weichen heard this, but he understood a little in his heart. As Liu Xibeqi's own brother, although Liu Weichen did not participate in this matter, he knew that his brother had always taken it as his mission to restore the glory of the Huns, but he always thought that his brother would realize this dream under the leadership of Zeng Hua, but he did not expect that he would take such an extreme path and choose such an extreme path.

Thinking of the dreams of the clansmen for hundreds of years, especially his own Tiefu tribe, although he is a mixed breed of Xiongnu and Xianbei, and his identity is embarrassing, but because of this, he is more persistent in restoring the glorious dream of the Xiongnu. Dream, for the sake of this great and noble dream, can you betray Du Yu, betray Beifu, and betray General Zeng? Liu Weichen's heart was dripping blood in pain, and he didn't know how to choose.

"Second brother, I was as miserable as this at the beginning, but for the sake of the Huns, I would rather be a treacherous

I'm afraid it's a stinking history. Liu Xibei prayed, his eyes were red, he gritted his teeth and said word by word.

"Dreams, we all have dreams. Your dream is to restore the glory of the Huns, and my dream is to revive China! When Du Yu heard this, his eyes were also red, "You are willing to break your trust for this, and I am willing to give up everything for my dream." ”

Hearing this, Liu Xibeqi suddenly burst into tears, and his voice became choked: "Du Du ......"

"Well, you are so well prepared, I think I will not escape your palm, I wait for your decision." After finishing speaking, Du Yu sighed and walked out of the middle tent under the "escort" of the Liu family's personal soldiers. It seems that Liu Xibeqi has been preparing for a long time for today, and he has prepared very carefully, and he didn't notice it at all, and he didn't know what the Horse Detective Division and the Detective Horse Department had detected? Maybe it's just a little bit of a rumor, and I haven't had time to investigate in detail yet. And those clerks may have to talk to themselves about some clues.

Du Yu is now able to deduce the cause and effect of this incident. Liu Xibei should pray the same as He Laitou. It's all Yan Guo's secret chess, but I don't know when he will be on the line with Yan Guo. Yan wanted to defeat Beifu and occupy the Central Plains, and Liu Xibei prayed to recover the Xiongnu, and the two naturally hit it off. According to the scene a few days ago, Du Yu speculated that Liu Xibeqi should have been hesitating, after all, he was still a man. But he told him that he was about to adjust his defense after a while, so Liu Xibeqi had no choice but to make a desperate bet. He has been operating in the cloud for three years. secretly gathered a lot of people who had different intentions for the Northern Mansion. Thought it was a confidant. Once you move to a new place, you have to start all over again.

Walking out of the middle tent, Du Yu saw that his entourage was surrounded by thousands of men and horses and disarmed, and although these people looked at him, although their eyes were still a little flickering, the hand holding the knife was still so powerful. Some of these people were the old subordinates of Tiefu who Liu Xibeqi had transferred over with an excuse, and some were the Dugu tribe who were like-minded with him, and they were all the same ancestors before. There are also some other tribes that should be bewitched by Liu Xibe.

Liu Xibeqi really spent a lot of hard work, and he was able to develop so many people and horses under the noses of himself, the horse scanners, and the detectives, it seems that he still has some means.

Just as Du Yu was secretly sighing in his heart, several people in the middle tent began to argue.

"Da Shan Yu, what do you want to do with Du Yu?"

"Lock it up before you plan!" Liu Xibeqi frowned and replied.

"Da Danyu, this is not the time to be soft-hearted, Du Yu does not get rid of it, I'm afraid there will be more repetitions!" He Lai said gloomily.

"What. You still dare to kill the governor! Liu Weichen, who had just been quiet for a while, jumped up. Shouted reprimanded.

"Du Du supervises the army in a good way, loves the soldiers like relatives, and has a very high prestige in Shuozhou Mansion. If we try to harm him, I am afraid it will not be right. Liu Ping glanced at Liu Xibei and said hesitantly.

"It is precisely because Du Yu has a very high prestige in Shuozhou that he wants to get rid of him, if he has the opportunity to raise his arms, Da Shan Yu dares to guarantee that his soldiers and horses will not be rebelled by him?"

Liu Xibei didn't dare to guarantee it, he took great pains to win over more than 1,000 hardcore henchmen, and the remaining more than 2,000 people were more than co-opted, who dared to guarantee that they would not be rebelled by Du Yu.

Seeing Liu Xibeqi hesitating in silence, He Laitou continued: "Only by killing Du Yu can the army follow Da Shan Yu with all their hearts, and they dare not have two hearts. ”

He Lai paused for a moment, glanced at Liu Xibeqi and said: "Is it that Da Shan Yu is not determined enough to recover the great cause, so he is so hesitant, if this is the case, I am afraid that Da Sima will be suspicious and support ...... in the future."

Liu Xibeqi slapped his palm on the coffee table with a "bang", and actually broke half of the coffee table, and his hands were full of blood. He sat there silently, sighing but not making a sound.

"Big brother!" Liu Weichen roared and ran out, knelt in front of Liu Xibeqi and cried loudly. In Liu Weichen's howling and crying, He Laitou found that Liu Xibeqi was already in tears.

"Da Liu, can you tell me how Jizhou is doing?" Du Yu was dressed in a green shirt and had already removed his armor.

"Sima Murong Ke, the great Sima of Yan State, led the army to steal into Jizhou, and the King of Wei is afraid that there will be more luck than lucky." Liu Xibeqi gloomily told the report he had received. And on this day, Ran Min, the king of Wei, was surrounded on a lonely mountain.

"It seems that Murong Yan is also desperate this time." Du Yu's face was very calm, as if he was going to a banquet rather than a sentence.

"Da Liu, don't insult my corpse for the sake of you and my colleagues, how about it?" Du Yu continued to say lightly.

"Whoa!" Liu Xibeqi stood in front of Du Yu, didn't dare to raise his head, but responded in a low voice.

Du Yu stood there silently, closed his eyes and listened attentively, as if there was moving music in the wind.

"Da Liu, did you hear that? It is the sound of the general's piano, "Su Wu Shepherd", as if it came from the shore of the North Sea. With an intoxicated face, Du Yu suddenly spoke.

When Liu Xibei heard this, it was like a lightning strike, and he couldn't move for a long time.

Du Yu knelt down in the direction of Chang'an in the southeast, saluted three times in a row, and then sighed leisurely: "It's a pity that I can't hear the sound of the general's diqin anymore!" With that, he walked peacefully towards the execution ground.

When Liu Xibeqi and Liu Weichen heard this, they couldn't help but think of Du Yu's affection for them in the past, remembered the armor and weapons given by the general when they went out of Chang'an, stroked their backs and told them earnestly, and couldn't help but burst into tears and knelt on the ground facing Du Yu. Without anyone giving an order, the three thousand soldiers and horses around him knelt down with a bang and saluted Du Yu.

Seeing this, He Lai couldn't help but sigh, nodded to the executioner who was served as the executioner by his cronies, and then shouted: "Send Du Dudu on the road!" ”

Liu Xibeqi, who was kneeling on the ground, really didn't have the courage to raise his head, he just continued to lie on the ground, speechless. At that moment, he heard the sound of blood splattering on Du Yu's neck, and in the hissing sound like a knife wind, Liu Xibeqi seemed to have heard his "Su Wu Shepherd" coming from a leisurely manner.

After killing Du Yu, Liu Xi Beqi buried him, and none of Du Yu's nearly 100 followers surrendered, and all of them begged for death, and Liu Xi Beqi more than 4,000 troops dispersed a thousand.

On April 20, Liu Xibeqi joined forces with He Laitou, led the governor of the capital, and waved his army directly at Shengle.

The three thousand Shuozhou soldiers who gathered in Shengle City heard the bad news of Du Yu, and all of them cried, and then raised Shuozhou Assassin Shi Xie Shu as the temporary acting governor, wearing filial piety armor, Zhang Suqi, and lined up in front of Wuzhou City, and confronted Liu Xibe's army.

The soldiers of Shuozhou Mansion all shouted to avenge the governor, one after another, forgetting to die and moving forward. Du Yuzi Du Ling was only fourteen years old, studying in the Shuozhou Military Preparation School, temporarily serving as a forward lieutenant when it was critical, bravely in the front, suffering dozens of wounds, and the blood soaked the filial piety armor and turned red. He put aside the advice from the left and right, and said: "If all the soldiers forget to die to avenge my father, how can I stand behind the battle!" "Still shouting forward, fighting with the army.

The 3,000 Shuozhou soldiers fought to the death, and actually repelled more than 10,000 Liu Xibeqi's troops three times, making it difficult for them to advance half a step west. The rebels were frightened, and Liu Xibeqi saw that the front was blocked, but the government soldiers of Wuyuan and Shuofang quickly came up to support, so they had to give up the plan to hit the hometown of Hetao, turn south, and capture Pingcheng (now Datong, Shanxi) as the foundation, and then continue to go south and merge with Li Tianzheng, the captain of Yanmen, on the line of Mayi and Yanmen Pass.
