Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1778: Poor bandits, hot pursuit

If it were before, Bu Dugen would have felt that Liu He's remarks were very rude, and would have been angry because Liu He vetoed his proposal. But now, Bu Dugen glanced sideways at the heads and gold figures standing aside. Qi, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and nodded.

In this world, if it is not strong enough, no one will sit down and listen.

People on the grasslands and deserts follow the system of the weak and the strong, especially when the strong eat the weak.

Liu He smiled slightly and asked Bu Dugen to sit down.

Wuhuan Shanyu Louban stood up with a smile and gave up the host and guest seats where he was sitting to Bu Dugen.

Bu Dugen nodded and sat down. It was already getting late when Bu Dugen arrived. In addition, it gets dark quickly in winter. In just a few words, it was completely dark. Clusters of bonfires were lit, making the figures around them look longingly.

Bu Dugen naturally also thought of what Liu He had thought of before.

No matter who it is, knowing that someone can fight in the harsh winter season, or even travel long distances, is a frightening thing. Just like someone who originally thought he was wearing armor with enough defensive power, but turned out to be wearing nothing at all, the fear rising from his heart made Bu Dugen eager to get more information from Liu He. He wanted to understand More details.

However, Liu He did not immediately tell the soldiers and horses about the Hussars General, but started a celebratory bonfire dinner first. Hundreds of kumiss bags were brought out, and more than ten sheep were slaughtered and placed on the bonfire to begin barbecue. Many Wuhuan people started dancing and singing beside the bonfire, and even some of them The Han people under Yuan Xi couldn't help but clap, and even joined in.

All those who have suffered from Xianbei hope that Xianbei will be destroyed.

Bu Dugen had a smile on his face. After holding back for a while, he couldn't help it anymore. He grabbed Liu He and asked: What is going on? How did General Hussar find Kebineng?

ah? Liu He is pretending to be confused, doesn’t the king know? I thought the king already knew...

I... Bu Dugen almost wanted to yell, but he swallowed it back hard. He only felt a little sore in his throat. How could I know! Please tell me quickly and in detail!

Well... it's a long story... Liu He's smile (^-^) was very lewd. But since the king asked, let me briefly explain...

In fact, Liu He didn't know much, but Bu Dugen knew even less.

Liu He spoke with great excitement, and even added a lot of his own conjectures and conjectures. For example, the head with half a face. Liu He said that it was General Zhao Yun who combined his army and horse into one. When he met this person, he lifted the reins and He jumped into the air, crossed a hundred steps, and jumped into the air. Then when the horse fell down, he kicked half of its head away...

Such rhetoric naturally aroused continuous exclamations and admiration from the surrounding people, but it gave rise to more and more doubts in Bu Dugen's heart.

Bu Dugen knew that Liu He's words were exaggerated and not very trustworthy, but some details of the confusion were not answered.

How can an army march in the snow in winter?

How can we resist the severe cold at night?

This is the most critical question. As for how to find Kebineng's royal court in the desert, to be honest, the Han people sometimes have this kind of luck or ability. Anyway, it happened to the Huns. , this time it can only be said that Kebi is unlucky, and it is not too unacceptable. The only thing that cannot be understood is how the hussar general can march and fight in the severe cold of winter?

However, such a problem seems to have become a matter of course in Liu He's mouth. The generals under the hussar are all elites! Doesn’t the king know? Elite! So since they are elites, when can't they fight?

Bu Dugen looked at the golden and perfectly grilled lamb chops in front of him, but he felt that they were tasteless.

Elite? !

Budugen gritted his teeth. I really want to grab Liu He's collar and ask Liu He if there is any error in his understanding of the word elite?

Is it possible that the elite hussars generals are not afraid of the cold?

cold? Liu He said with a slightly strange expression, "Wear more clothes if it's cold... isn't it?"

Bu Dugen had a thought and looked at Liu He.

In addition to his original robe, Liu He also wore a woolen half-sleeved vest. This strange-looking costume was naturally produced in honor of the Hussars General.

I see! That's it... Bu Dugen felt that he had found the core of the problem.

Bu Dugen also has such clothes, and of course they bought them. At least until now, the Xianbei people still don't understand how to make the wool so thin. The Xianbei people can also make felts and knit wool, but the problem is that even the most skillful Xianbei people can knit wool that is four or five times thicker than the wool of the Hussars General.

And the sweater is expensive and worth a lot of money.

Could it be said that the hussar general equipped all his elite men with such clothes?

This is simply...

Bu Dugen let out a long sigh, just like a bricklayer who heard the price of the dog leash that the onion-striker bought for his dog.

But before Bu Dugen could recover from the shock of the inhumanity of the trench, he heard Liu He say from the side: I wonder how far Kebi can run this time...

Bu Dugen was stunned for a moment, stuffing half of the mutton chops into his mouth. He didn't know whether to chew the next bite or spit it out. After a while, he hurriedly swallowed the piece of meat in his mouth, turned around and asked Liu He: Could it be that General Hussar's men did not continue to pursue him? I mean, keep chasing Ke Bineng... Why did you let Ke Bineng run away like this?

Liu He was also stunned for a while, and then asked: Why should we pursue him?

Bu Dugen threw the mutton chops away and stood up: Don't you Han people have a saying that you have to mow all the grass? How could Kebi suffer such a loss and not completely defeat this guy while he was weak, but wait for him to recover and then come back for revenge? !

Liu He laughed loudly and said: He dares! If you can defeat him once this time, you can defeat him a second time in the future! It’s okay not to pursue a defeated general! Besides, the Cavalry General’s men and horses have all gone back, and they won’t come here...

What? ! Bu Dugen was stunned for a while, didn't he even come here?

Liu He nodded and said: There was no plan to come to Yuyang in the first place... Well, doesn't the king know?

Bu Dugen stared and wanted to scold Liu He, but in the end he didn't say anything and sat down again.

Liu He smiled, as if nothing was wrong, and began to hold a bag of koumiss. He no longer consumed it with Bu Dugen. He stood up, signaled, and joined the Wuhuan people by the bonfire. Huhuhahaha...

After wandering around for a while, Liu He turned around and saw that Bu Dugen had stood up, with a sullen face, groping in the dark with his men, and left without saying hello to Liu He.

Liu He can generally guess what Bu Dugen is thinking. It's not that Bu Dugen is too stupid, but because Bu Dugen's goal is too obvious, so he is naturally easy to target.

There are no two tigers in the mountain.

There is no room for two great kings in the desert.

Among all the people, the one who most hoped that Kebi would choke to death when eating, choking on drinking water, being bitten by a snake while sleeping, or falling to death immediately while sitting on horseback must be Bu Dugen.

Under such a premise, Bu Dugen's thinking mode has been exposed from the beginning. It doesn't even take too much effort to deduce and guess. Anyone with a little brain can figure it out.

After Bu Dugen was initially shocked and confused, he must have wanted to follow General Hussar's troops to take advantage. He even wanted to wait until General Hussar and Kebi Neng fought until both sides were exhausted before making a decision. The final victory or defeat.

As a result, when he heard Liu He say that General Hussar's troops had evacuated, Bu Dugen must have been unable to sit still. What was before Bu Dugen was nothing more than two options. One was to do nothing and wait. Can Kebi gather the other Xianbei tribes again, and then have a decisive battle next time, another one...

It is to beat up the drowned dog, or it is called chasing the poor bandit.

Everyone knows that it is difficult to chase a poor bandit, but for Bu Dugen, he can only chase with gritted teeth.

If Bu Dugen has a strong personal ability and can confront Ke Bi Neng head-on, Bu Du Gen will be the one to defeat Ke Bi Neng this time. Maybe Bu Du Gen will not chase him, or send some people from surrounding tribes. Just go all the way and collect them...

In addition, Bu Dugen led the army to march in, which did not bring any additional benefits to the tribe. Even if his own tribe could bear not to say anything, the people from other tribes who came with Bu Dugen might not have no complaints. So when there is an opportunity to pick up a bargain in front of him, if Bu Dugen says he will do nothing again, I am afraid that he will immediately complain and lose his morale!

Therefore, Bu Dugen could only chase after the enemy, hoping to kill Kebi in one breath.

But this weather...

Liu He smiled slightly, raised his head, and looked at the sky.

The further north you go, the colder it gets.

Bu Dugen naturally knows this, but many times people are like this. If they don't look back until they hit the south wall, it's not because they don't know how to hurt their heads when they hit the wall, but because they think they can avoid it and won't hit it.

Just like Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi also noticed something strange about Bu Dugen. After seeing Bu Dugen leave in a hurry, he also found Liu He. Yuan Xi also thought that he was still some distance away from the south wall and would not hit him, but he didn't know that now the wall was almost touching his forehead.

Liu He was the governor of Youzhou, and Yuan Xi was also the governor of Youzhou.

There is no room for two great kings in the desert, so how can a small Youzhou accommodate two governors?

Liu He had always claimed that he was just the governor of Changshan, and Yuan Xi also pretended not to know about this matter, but after all, this is a problem that needs to be solved, and the problem will never disappear on its own.

The most direct way is to deal with Liu He, but the problem is that Yuan Xi doesn't dare. After all, Liu He had Wuhuan people beside him, and a hussar general behind him. If there were only Wuhuan people, Yuan Xi would not be so cruel as to stamp his feet, but General Hussar...

Looking at the golden crown shining with golden light under the firelight, Yuan Xi knew that he might never be able to obtain a trophy like this. While he was envious, he also felt a deep sense of powerlessness. It's like feeling that if the difference in strength is not big, you still have the courage to fight bravely, but as the gap level increases, this courage will become smaller and smaller until it disappears.

So since you don't dare, you should build a good relationship and at least have one more favor. When a conflict breaks out in the future, you will have one more retreat. Even if there were some disputes among the nobles, they would not completely lose face.

However, Yuan Xi, who grew up in the circle of the top gentry, is not completely aware of the cruelty and ruthlessness of people at the bottom who bite and devour each other. Just like Liu He's current smile, there are still some shadows flickering under the gentleness...

Mr. Yuan... Liu He said with a smile, now that the battle of Xianbei is over and Kebi Neng is defeated, the crisis in Youzhou has been resolved. After a while, I will withdraw to Changshan...

Yuan Xi originally just wanted to get closer, but he didn't expect to hear such words in front of him, which made his forehead buzz and hurt. Want, want to go back?

Liu He nodded, and there seemed to be some longing on his face. It was bitterly cold in the north... This time, the family's father's last wish was fulfilled, and secondly, he also obeyed the orders of the hussar general... Now that the war has been completed, it is natural to accept it. !

Yuan Xi was so anxious that a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.

During this period of time, Cao Cao was aggressively conquering the territory of Jizhou. Although the name of Yuan Tan was still mentioned in the description, in fact everyone knew what was going on.

Yuan Xi secretly sent a few people to look for Yuan Tan, but there was no news. I don't know whether it was because Yuan Tan was unwilling to reply, or because Yuan Tan had no way to receive information from the outside world. No matter which possibility it was, It means a rather unfavorable result.

Yuan Xi originally thought that if Liu He was here, he could naturally use Liu He, no, use the momentum of General Hussars to fight against Cao Cao's invasion, but now Liu He actually said that he was leaving and going back!

So what should you do in Youzhou?

What should I do about my future?

After all the original plans were disrupted, everyone would be at a loss, let alone someone like Yuan Xi who was not even the second-rater among the Three Kingdoms.

Yuan Xi was a little flustered, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. He hesitated, and lost the opportunity to talk to Liu He in detail amidst the noise around him. In the end, he could only return to Yuyang in a depressed mood, and then Regardless of the fact that it was late at night, he found Jushou and repeated what Liu He said.

In the original plan, the decisive battle of Xianbei was to be held in Yuyang. Yuan Xi could use this battle to re-establish his identity and reputation. However, Yuan Xi was not given less in terms of materials and materials. As a result, Although Xianbei was also defeated, the problem was that the focus of the entire battle was not on Yuyang at all, and there was nothing wrong with Yuan Xi. Even if Yuan Xi wanted to put gold on his face, he couldn't find anything concrete to point to. The place.

Jushou was silent for a while, then sighed slightly.

Sir, do you have any good ideas? When Yuan Xi saw Jushou sighing, his heart felt cold.

This matter was not Liu Shijun's intention, but the Hussar General's excuse... Jushou said slowly, this battle was not for Youzhou, but the Hussar General showed his power...

If possible, who doesn't want to always have two kings and four twos when playing cards? But the problem is that most of the time, what you have in your hand is a bunch of bad cards that are out of reach.

Although Jushou clearly deduced the true meaning of Liu He's words, facing a bunch of bad cards in his hand, even a clever wife could not make a living without straw, so he could only say slowly: I have three strategies...

Yuan Xi said eagerly: The best policy is of course the best policy! Only a fool would choose the middle or the worst strategy after hearing three methods. Yuan Xi felt that he should be considered a smart person and should choose the best strategy.

Jushou shook his head and said: It is not the upper, middle and lower strategies, but the left, middle and right... It is now, there is no distinction between up and down, a bad hand, no matter how you play left or right, you will be caught, but you can choose Just send that side to check.

Aha? ! Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment.

Left, choose Cao Sikong, middle, choose the third young master, right, choose... Jushou sighed and pointed outside the city, Hussar General... The final outcome of the current situation depends on how the young master chooses...
