Chapter Thirty-Four: Lobbying Wuhuan
After last night's incident, Gongsun Linglong ran away without a trace, and never appeared in front of He Bai again. He Bai kept reminiscing about Gongsun Linglong's flawless body along the way, and his heart couldn't help but feel crooked. For several days, He Bai's heart was extremely excited.
He Bai originally went to save Gongsun Zhan, first, Liu Yu had this intention, and it was difficult for him to refuse; The second is that Gongsun Yue has defended himself many times, and this situation is not good; The third is that he has spent too much time in Youzhou, and he is afraid that Gongsun Zhan, the nemesis of Hulu in the north, will die early due to his own reasons, so he has to save him. Now it seems that it is not a chore to save Gongsun Zhan, there are many more.
From the second day onwards, the number of bones on the road gradually increased, and at most there were about 5,000 bones. It seems that Zhang Ju and Qiu Liju withdrew their troops all the way, and they suffered heavy casualties under Gongsun Zhan's fierce pursuit and fierce attack. If it weren't for Shanggu Wuhuan Nanlou leading the crowd to help, the 100,000 army of these two people might have been packed up by Gongsun Zhan's 3,000 people.
In just this battle, Gongsun Zhan was promoted from the Xiajun Taishou of Qianshi to the position of General Fenwu and Yihou, thus shocking Hebei. and the governor of Youzhou, most of the elite soldiers and horses, is not for nothing.
It's a pity that Gongsun Chan seems to have been born late, and has won successive victories in foreign wars, but has repeatedly failed in domestic wars for hegemony. If he lived in the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Gongsun Zhan might be another Wei Qing and Huo Quai.
He Bai led the troops for a few days, and almost because the road was unfamiliar and could not find a water source and the soldiers and horses were in chaos, fortunately, He Bai, Fu Xing, and Chengzhang were the three later generations, under a variety of methods, and boiled the sea distillation, and dug pits and condensation, and finally temporarily solved the problem of drinking water. Eight days later, I finally came to the vicinity of Yangle County, Liaoxi.
I saw that there were suddenly more Humas in Yangle County, and He Bai's army saw that he couldn't hide his whereabouts, so he generously exposed them and marched with white flags. Gongsun Linglong, who had been hiding for a long time, finally showed up, ran out angrily, came to see He Bai, and asked, "Why are you so careless and expose your whereabouts?" If we are also trapped by Hulu, how will we save my eldest brother? ”
He Bai rolled his eyes and said, "I have my own reasons for how I act, since you have been avoiding me these days, I don't need to explain it to you." Flash aside. ”
Gongsun Linglong listened, she was resentful and aggrieved, originally because of He Bai's wonderful method of taking water, and she had a good impression of He Bai, and she suddenly overturned all her good feelings. Even if he will marry He Bai as promised in the future, it will definitely be an unintentional walking corpse.
When it was not long exposed, a group of more than 2,000 Hu cavalry came to meet him, and when he saw that He Bai's army was waving a white flag, it seemed that he had no intention of fighting, so he sent someone to negotiate to see what He Bai's army was here for?
When He Bai learned that the person who came was Qiu Lijutang's nephew, Su Servant Yan, he immediately asked Su Servant to delay until a while before the battle. Su Muyan looked at the Han general in front of him who claimed to be a relative suspiciously, and asked, "Who are you?" Who am I to you? ”
He Bai arched his hand and smiled: "My name is He Bai, I am the son-in-law of Lord Qiu Liju's father-in-law, you are the cousin of Lord Yue-in-law, so naturally you are related to me." ”
Su Fuyan was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "It turns out that you are He Bai?" Hmph, I think my uncle Qiu Liju values you so much, and even married Anova, the most beautiful flower of my Wuhuan clan, to you, but I don't want you to abandon Anova, and betray my uncle. You Han people are really the most untrustworthy thing. He Bai, if you dare to come here, don't leave, stay. As he spoke, he drew his knife and prepared to fight.
He Bai hurriedly waved his hand and shouted: "Who said that I betrayed my father-in-law, but because my father-in-law invaded the Han land, I couldn't bear it as a Han person, and returned to the Han land to seek a solution between the two sides." Now that I have found a way, I naturally came to tell my father-in-law about the results of this trip. ”
Su Fu asked suspiciously, "What way?" What is the result? ”
He Bai said with a smile: "My father-in-law's wish is to unite the Wuhuan clan and become self-reliant. The second is to defeat the Xianbei clan and make them submit to the Wuhuan clan. As a son-in-law, I naturally keep it in mind all the time. After nearly two months of wandering and persuasion, the uncle of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, the new Uncle of Youzhou Mu Liu Yu and Liu Huang, finally agreed to play the Han Emperor and made his father-in-law the Da Dan Yu of the Wuhuan clan. And open and add several vertebral fields to increase commercial exchanges with Wuhuan salt and iron. ”
Su Fuyan gasped, he didn't expect Qiu Liju's ambition to be so ambitious, and Qiu Liju didn't seem to tell Su Fuyan about this ambition. Su Fuyan couldn't help but hesitate to decide whether to inform Qiu Liju of this news.
He Bai guessed Su Muyan's thoughts, if Qiu Liju wanted to pretend to be Wuhuan Shan Yu, just relying on his alliance with Badun for five or six thousand fallen people, he was afraid that it would be a little smaller in terms of power and prestige. But with the support of the Han family, Qiu Liju, the big single of the Wuhuan clan, will be stable. Transformed from an uncle and nephew to a monarch and minister, Su Fuyan's heart was difficult to accept for a while.
He Bai then said with a hot iron: "I know that the prestige of my father-in-law alone is not enough to deter the Wuhuan tribes, so when I persuade the Han court, I hope to enthrone the three kings in the Wuhuan clan, and use Su Fuyan to extend you, as well as Wuyan and Nanlou as auxiliary kings, to assist Lord Yuezhang in the daily actions of this big single Yu." The auxiliary king and Shan Yu are not counted as monarchs and ministers, but only the subordinates of the upper and lower levels. And the Three Kings Department also has the right to nominate the next Wuhuan Shan Yu......"
The more Su Fuyan listened, the more interested he became, and when he saw that He Bai didn't talk about it, he suddenly became anxious, and urged again and again. He Bai said with a smile: "This is a major matter of the Wuhuan clan, how can it be told here, can't you find a quiet and private place to discuss?" ”
Su Fuyan slapped his head again and again and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, I'm really stupid, this is a place to discuss important matters." Brother He Bai, please come with me. ”
As he spoke, he stepped forward and rode with He Bai to show his closeness, and ordered his cronies who had been following him to immediately go to the Wuhuan camp and quietly inform Qiu Liju that he knew.
Su Muyan has always praised He Bai's good coming, but he can't say a few good words back and forth. It's good that Wuhuan people can speak some Chinese normally, and they still want to use Chinese to pat their ass, but it's too difficult for them.
He Bai learned from Su Fuyan that Anova had also been picked up by Qiu Liju, and said that after the battle was over, he would remarry him to Bunton. He Bai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it's okay, it's okay, it's just right to come back at this time.
After traveling more than ten miles, I saw thousands of Han rebel horsemen rushing over, and a general shouted loudly: "Where is the Han army?" Our army is here to help. ”
After Su Fuyan apologized to He Bai, he stepped out and shouted, "It's not Han Jun, it's my Uncle Qiu Liju's son-in-law who has returned." ”
After hearing this, the rebel cavalry general looked at the two groups of men and horses in front of him suspiciously, and saw that the Wuhuan Tuqi was extremely enthusiastic about the Han cavalry, but the Han cavalry was always vigilant and couldn't help but be puzzled. But since Su Fuyan said that Qiu Liju's son-in-law had returned, his rebel son Zhang Ju would definitely know a little. So after bidding farewell to Su Fuyan, he turned around and rode away.
After He Bai looked at the rebels who were riding away, he whispered to Su Fuyan: "Uncle Liu Huang, the pastor of Youzhou, wants to kill Zhang Ju first to show the sincerity of Lord Yuezhang." ”
Su Fuyan patted his chest again and again and shouted, "Don't worry, this matter is on me." ”
Ten miles away from the Wuhuan camp, I saw Qiu Liju rushing to lead a hundred cavalry guards and come to meet He Bai's army. As soon as he saw He Bai, he shouted cordially: "Virtuous son-in-law, virtuous son-in-law, you can make the old husband and father and daughter suffer." The old man thought that you really abandoned Anova and ignored it, but I didn't expect you to go back to Han to help the old man run this matter. You left without saying a word, but the old man misunderstood. ”
He Bai hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "He Bai has long said that he is willing to help Lord Yuezhang unify Wuhuan, the Northern Expedition to Xianbei, and help Lord Yuezhang conquer the desert." It's just that Master Yuezhang doesn't believe it. Whether this matter will succeed or not, it was difficult to say earlier, so He Bai didn't dare to lie to you. At this time, since it will be done, He Bai and I naturally dare to return to report the good news with confidence. ”
Qiu Liju hurriedly pulled He Bai to the other side, and said: "There are people in the camp with mixed tongues, go, let's go over there, Su Fuyan, if you want to hear it, come together." ”
He Bai and the three of them went to the mountains in the north together, and Qiu Liju saw that he was far away from others, so he split his head and asked: "He Bai, you honestly confess, is this matter true or false?" ”
He Bai glanced at Qiu Liju and said, "If there is no Anova, this matter is naturally fake." But with Anova, it's true. ”
Qiu Liju pointed at He Bai and laughed, and said, "It seems that the old man really gave birth to a good daughter." Quick, tell the old man about it, how to handle this matter? ”
It turned out that when He Bai came, he proposed to Liu Yu, who intended to use Huairou to govern and appease the Wuhuan family. The Wuhuan tribe has a total population of more than 20,000 people, divided into more than 20 adults, among which Qiu Liju is the strongest.
But although Qiu Liju is strong, a single one is only 3,000 fallen people. In addition, the four departments of Badun, Su Muyan, Nanlou, and Wuyan, which are related to it, occupy 8,000 people, and they already have the potential to unify Wuhuan. In this case, why not really issue an order to canonize Qiu Liju as Wuhuan Shan Yu.
Anyway, Qiu Liju's power is not absolutely strong, and it is difficult to do everything in the unified Wuhuan tribe, and there will inevitably be a strong demand for the support of the Han family. For the sake of this support, the unified Wuhuan people have no headless leadership since then, but I am afraid that it will not be easy to rebel again. Liu Yu was deeply convinced of He Bai's words, and this is why He Bai's trip was made. It's just another good way to say it for Qiu Liju.
Through many inquiries, Qiu Liju judged that what He Bai said was true, so he decided to send an envoy to negotiate with Liu Yu in person. After getting the definite news, he killed Zhang Ju, let go of the siege, and let Gongsun Zan leave.
