Section 321 The cunning man
"Okay, I'll give you the talisman!"
"Don't worry!" Liu Yu stretched out his hand to stop, a hint of sleepiness appeared in the corner of his eyes, "The inferior general is too sleepy, he needs to sleep, and he will come back at night to receive the talisman, and at that time it happened to be a night attack." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Jerusherus nodded.
......
This night, Liu Yu slept soundly. In his sleep, he was still talking about martial arts with the monk Puzhen, discussing those mystical secrets that were out of reach for him in the past.
Because he had been thinking about the agreement with Jerusher, his head was still a little heavy, but he still woke up. He tried his luck in the dantian, but found that he still couldn't raise the slightest true qi, it seemed that even if he understood more martial arts principles, he was only a waste person after all, so he shook his head helplessly.
He sat up from the bumpy ox cart and found Xie Anniang sitting on the side with her legs in a daze, so he asked, "Dare to ask Miss Xie, how long have I been asleep?"
"Not long, two hours. Xie Anniang glanced at the slanting sun in the west and replied lightly. She didn't know that Liu Yu had not slept for three days and three nights before, otherwise her expression would never be so relaxed.
Liu Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, "It's okay, I didn't miss the time." β
At this moment, a group of three hundred light horsemen roared in. He realized that his talisman had arrived, and ordered the coachman to stop the cart.
Behind these 300 light horsemen, there were also about 200 Central Plains martial arts people. These men were either riding ox carts or horses. Judging from the twinkling eyes in their eyes, they did not follow willingly.
Yelu Shilu couldn't believe in these Central Plains warriors, so except for those who planned to escape, he also sent all the rest of the Central Plains idlers, including the crazy bronze horse, only the Quanzhong Sect Master Zhu Wen somehow did not appear.
The leader of the three hundred light horsemen was a medium-sized Khitan man, and he dismounted and walked up to Liu Yu, his legs showing a little outward because of his perennial horseback. He respectfully presented the talisman with both hands, which was an old jade talisman, warm and shiny, a rare delicate object on the grassland.
He turned his head and shouted, ordering everyone to dismount and kneel to salute Liu Yu. Although those Central Plains warriors were not angry in their hearts, no one dared to be a thorn in the head at this juncture, after all, no one had two heads on their necks.
Just when everyone was about to kneel, Liu Yu stopped him, "From today on, everyone is a good brother who lives and dies together, and should draw a knife as a courtesy, and congratulate the enemy leader, as for kneeling, there is no need to do this kind of thing." β
Through his time with Jerusherus these days, he learned a lot of ways to control people's hearts. He once asked Yelu Shilu why people can't get along with each other frankly? Yelu Shilu blinked his eyes and replied that although you can be frank and open, others may not think of you as frank and open, and the so-called "frank and open" of you is not necessarily the "frank and open" in the eyes of others.
When everybody is preoccupied with intrigues, you have to be more cunning than they are if you want to harness them. Although Liu Yu has not learned to be cunning, he has learned how to make everyone more willing to obey him.
Sure enough, these Khitan light horsemen looked very excited after hearing his words, and their leader drew Ming Yaoyao's saber in the setting sun and replied: "General Zuo doesn't let us kowtow, this is really treating us as brothers." If we can't fight the enemy, we're in vain. β
The sound of the leader drawing his saber behind him rang out, and the sword suddenly shone brightly.
Liu Yu nodded slightly, no matter what these people were thinking, they were already expressing their allegiance on the scene. Of course, except for those Central Plains warriors present.
The Han people are the most fond of seniority, and most of those Central Plains warriors are older than Liu Yu, and they are not very happy to kowtow to a teenager in the first place. At this time, I heard that there was no need to kowtow, and everyone was relieved. Yet they still refused to draw their weapons as a sign of allegiance, and one by one they bowed their heads as if they had not heard what had just happened.
Seeing that the people who came looked relaxed, Liu Yu immediately frowned, and asked the leader of the three hundred light horsemen, "Did the Khan tell you where we are going tonight?"
The leader was stunned for a moment, "Where would the honorable khan summon a humble little person like me, he just sent someone to give me an order, ordering me to come to the right general with this talisman, and he didn't say anything else." β
Liu Yu patted his forehead, he was indeed a little negligent, he thought of everyone as if he was himself, and he could see Yelu Shilu himself so easily, "Tonight's trip is very dangerous, maybe we won't survive tonight, will you be afraid?"
When he said this, his blood swelled a little, hoping that he would be able to respond to every call, but he didn't expect it to cause a lot of discussion. These Khitans are ordinary herdsmen's children, and of course they want to make contributions and earn a great glory for their families. However, when the danger far exceeds the glory itself, anyone will unconsciously retreat.
Those martial arts people in the Central Plains were unwilling to give their lives to the Khitans, and at this time, they all lowered their heads deeper and refused to squeak. Liu Yu saw a good pre-war incentive, and fell into such an embarrassing situation, he didn't know what to do. He regretted a little that he shouldn't have told these soldiers the truth so early.
Perhaps, as Jerushhrus suggests, he lacks the cunning necessary to control the multitude. What Jerushe once said to him, he deeply engraved in his heart.
"If you can't be a cunning person yourself, find a way to find a cunning helper. β
Xie Anniang saw that these soldiers squeaked and refused to respond one by one, she got up from the ox cart quickly, "Do you know that the little woman is a guilty body, but she can live until now, why is this matter?"
These light cavalry soldiers and martial arts people in the Central Plains have long heard some rumors in the army, and it was Liu Yu who pleaded with Lord Khan, which saved Princess Liu Ge and Tongma and others. However, this kind of words could not be said explicitly, and they looked up at the first beauty of the grassland in front of them, and rubbed their eyes as if in a dream. If you are a beauty, of course you must get it back as a man.
"The princess has to be helped by nobles, so that she can survive!"
"The princess's life is good, others can't compare!"
"The princess's appearance is overwhelming, and the khan must not bear to do it. β
Xie Anniang chuckled and shook her head, and said, "You guys are wrong, maybe in your opinion, the reason why I survived was because Liu Yu interceded for me, and at the same time, the khan still remembered the old friendship." But the truth is that although I have rebelled, I have never rebelled against the Khan's command. The Khan hated the disobedient more than the rebels. (To be continued.) )
