Chapter 14: Staying in another place
The old man laughed and said, "I didn't expect that you, a Han general, are so good, you woke up so quickly. When you wake up, you are flirting with my daughter."
He Bai didn't expect that the old man Wuhuan was so fluent in Chinese, and he didn't expect that he would catch up with him in taking advantage of his own affairs. He Bai felt very ashamed and didn't know what to explain.
Unexpectedly, the old man said again: "Don't worry, my Wuhuan woman is not as squeamish as a Han woman. If my daughter Anova really likes you, I will not interfere with you."
He Bai was stunned. Since this old guy used the beauty trick, how could he interfere with himself? It seems that he can take advantage of the situation in the future. He Bai asked, "I wonder what the old man calls him? Which adult is from?"
The old man laughed and said, "What? You kept chasing me that night, breaking through several elite cavalry under my command, and assisting Gongsun Zan in defeating all my 30,000 Wuhuan army. Isn't getting to know me after just a few days?"
He Bai was shocked and looked at him carefully. It was Qiu Liju, who was so powerful that night with a helmet and armor, who was commanding 30,000 cavalrymen. And the girl Anova, who was just now, was almost the princess of the Wuhuan tribe, but was sent to take care of him?
He Bai was shocked and said, "You are Qiu Liju?! I helped Gongsun Prefect defeat you. It should be your enemy. Why did you save me?"
Qiu Liju raised his head and laughed, saying, "Yes, you helped Gongsun Zan defeat me. But when the two armies were fighting, how could there be any enemy? Could it be that I went to the Han area to plunder, and the Han army and the Han people did not resist me? You are a rare warrior. If my nephew Tadun hadn't blocked you halfway that night, I would have been killed by you. But I am ambitious. If I want to accomplish things, I must have the help of many warriors. How could I not love warriors?"
He Bai said, "You want me to surrender? You should just give up your heart! I am a Han Chinese and it is absolutely impossible for you to help you invade Han territory."
Qiu Liju smiled and said, "My ambition is to unify the Wuhuan tribe and be self-reliant and self-reliant. It is not to let the Han emperor and Han officials bully our tribe repeatedly, but to defeat the Xianbei tribe and ask them to submit to our tribe, not to invade and rob the Han territory."
He Bai smiled and said, "Unifying the Wuhuan tribe is only the first step, defeating the Xianbei is only the second step, and invading the Han area is the third step. People like you who are ambitious are very clear about what they are thinking in their hearts, so there is no need to hide it from me."
Qiu Liju shook his head, sat down beside He Bai's bed and said, "It's okay if you don't want to surrender, but do you know how you were injured that night?"
He Bai was stunned and said with certainty: "Of course, he was first blocked by Tadun, and then shot from behind by your Wuhuan archer, and then was hit by Tadun off the horse."
Qiu Liju smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, you were wearing iron armor that day, and ordinary arrows could not be penetrated. The arrows of my Wuhuan people are mostly made of copper and bones, and a small number of iron arrows are mostly used by warriors and a tribe leader. However, armor-breaking arrows made of fine iron can penetrate your chest with one arrow, and I have almost no Wuhuan people." As he said that, he took out a fine iron armor-breaking arrow with a shining cold light from his arms.
He Bai was shocked again. After taking a closer look, he found that the arrow seemed to be no different from ordinary feather arrows, but the arrow was smaller and sharper, and the dark red edges and corners of the arrow tips showed a cold light, showing its unique sharpness. Moreover, the shape was very beautiful, almost like a specially made craft.
Qiu Liju smiled and said, "That night, Tadun faintly saw a Han military officer running away from a distance with a double hammer. What do you think? Who did you guess it was?"
Yan Ji! This name suddenly appeared in He Bai's mind. If Qiu Liju hadn't lie, Yan Ji would have been the one who secretly shot himself that night. But He Bai never expected that the battle in his post would trigger a cold arrow on the battlefield.
Qiu Liju smiled again and said, "A few days ago, I destroyed the Sangmaha tribe. Before her death, Sangmaha said, "You once thought you were excluded by Gongsun Yuezhi in Youbeiping. Now it seems that there are still some exclusions, but it shouldn't be Gongsun Yue, but there are others, right?"
He Bai felt cold in his heart. Sangmaha died because of himself. However, he was in ancient times and a minority, such things were normal. However, He Bai was not used to Qiu Liju's approach at this time, so Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Hahaha, even if there is exclusion, I will go back to take revenge in this hidden arrow in the battle. If I stayed in Wuhuan, wouldn't this revenge be revenge for the rest of my life?"
Qiu Liju shook his head and said, "The 30,000 coalition forces of our troops were defeated by Gongsun Zan. He had no choice but to send an envoy to present a surrender to the governor of Youzhou. When the envoy passed by Youbeiping, he accidentally discovered a wanted order signed by Gongsun Zan, saying that a Han military officer named He Bai surrendered to the enemy and surrendered to our Wuhuan clan. He Bai was also the deputy commander of the White Horse Yicong, the Jing of Youbeiping."
He Bai opened his mouth wide in shock when he heard this. What's going on? Was Yan Gang framed himself? Or was Qiu Liju lying? Or was Qiu Liju sent someone to pretend to be a fool, forcing him to be desperate and surrender to him?
Qiu Liju patted He Bai's shoulder and smiled and said, "How about it, if you surrender to me, I can marry Anova to you and give you all the more than 300 former subordinates of Sanmaha. No matter how good the White Horse Yicheng is, it is not your own subordinate, and it will be bad."
He Bai was shocked again, more than 300 falls. In just a short time, the more than 500 falls in Sangmaha shrank by half. The situation of this grassland nation is really dangerous, and there will be disasters for the deceased tribe at every turn.
However, He Bai was also shocked by Qiu Liju's big money. Unlike the Han people, their household registration is based on the unit of the fall, and once the fall is a family, the fewer than seven or eight people, and more than ten people, and more than three hundred people are about three thousand people.
This was just a larger village in later generations. But at this time, it was the population of a small town, and it was all its own population. I would have the greatest authority over these more than 300 people who had fallen into life and death. It can be said that I am the king of grass.
Not to mention other things, just the wealth of more than 300 fallen, He Bai, this pauper, was jealous of more than 10,000 sheep, more than 4,000 crossbow horses, more than 1,000 war horses and hundreds of cows. If these materials were placed in later generations, they would be a huge wealth of hundreds of millions. Even if they were placed in the present, they would be a huge wealth of 100 million yuan for five zhu coins. Not to mention that there was a huge beauty waiting for him.
The two voices in He Bai's heart were fighting fiercely at this time. One called He Bai Yingxia, which was a wealth that he would never get in his life. The other said coldly, compared to the entire world of the future Han Dynasty, what is this thing? One said it was for nothing. Instead of working hard to die, it would be better to pick up this huge wealth for nothing. The other said coldly...
He Bai frowned and thought, and accidentally saw Qiu Liju's gradually cold face, and his heart felt cold. His life was not guaranteed at this time, and he was still thinking about becoming the emperor of the Han Dynasty. This is really a brainless arrogant person.
He Bai quickly pretended to be sad and said, "Oh, I can't think of him even now. It's just that I'm not familiar with the place in Wuhuan and have no choice but to adapt to both language and customs. I hope my father-in-law will take care of him in the future."
Qiu Liju slapped He Bai's shoulder with joy and said, "Don't worry, wise son-in-law in the sky. If you are loyal to me, I will definitely not let you down." As he said, he said many compliments. At the same time, He Bai also opened his mouth and made many worthless vows, vowing to be loyal to Qiu Liju.
Since agreeing to Qiu Liju's persuasion, He Bai's life has been significantly better than before. Not only are there many more beautiful maids waiting for orders in the tent, but even Anova has come a lot more and more diligently. Although he cannot communicate with anything in words, Anova is getting closer and closer to He Bai. When Anova learned that she would become He Bai's wife, the deep affection in her eyes was about to burst out, and almost burned He Bai's entire body.
Finally, in a night half a month later, He Bai, whose injuries had just improved, and He Bai, who was tempted by Anova's desire, finally coaxed and deceived Anova into bed, allowing He Bai to enjoy Anova's tenderness. In the days that followed, He Bai was even more happy and was tired of being with Anova day and night, almost forgot where he was.
He Bai's body was trained to be strong by Dian Wei. The arrow wound that was almost on the verge of death was cured in March without a doctor. This was because He Bai could not bear the temptation of women and was with Anova Huwei when he was recuperating.
Time turned to October, Qiu Liju came to He Bai worriedly this day and said, "Since our troops surrendered to the governor of Youzhou, they thought that the rebellion in the past few years would make the Han court a little tolerant of our tribe. They did not expect that this time, the conscript order was issued, saying that the Qiang Rebellion in Xiliang was difficult to quell, and the court's conquest was insufficient. They wanted to recruit three thousand elite cavalry from all the tribes of our Wuhuan to go to Xiliang to assist in the war."
As he said that, Qiu Liju talked about the conflict between the Wuhuan tribe and the Han court one by one, and He Bai realized the reason. It turned out that the Wuhuan belonged to a branch of the Donghu, and lived a miserable life when the Huns were rampant in the northern desert. Later, when Huo Qubing conquered the Huns, he surrendered to the Han army and was taken outside the Great Wall of Youzhou to guard the border for the Han Dynasty.
Since the decline of the Huns, the Xianbei people, who were also the Donghu branch, occupied the old land of the Huns, and received the surrender of most of the Huns, and their strength increased greatly. Ten years ago, they almost became another powerful enemy of the Han Dynasty, and their Han Dynasty. Fortunately, the Xianbei Shanyu, known as the "Second of Maodun", died early, and the successor was not virtuous, so the Xianbei became chaotic again.
The success of the Xianbei people was so vassal of the great Han Dynasty that the Wuhuan people, who were vassed and regretted the surrender in their hearts. In addition, in recent years, rebellions have often occurred in the Han territory. The Wuhuan cavalry were summoned every time, and many soldiers died in the fight against the rebellion. Although the Han court gave them money to recruit money, the Wuhuan people, especially Qiu Liju, were still dissatisfied, and thus they had the heart to be self-reliant and unwilling to work hard for the great Han Dynasty.
