The Dragon Bird Ring, which was usually very handy, became extremely heavy at this time, and even swinging it became a problem.
The strength of the Han man on the other side is really too great!
Among the young commanders under King Zuo Xian, Tu Guilai was definitely among the top five in terms of strength alone. But facing Han De's attack, his little strength was of no use. This guy was riding on a horse,
He was simply a human bear. Tu Guilai couldn't figure it out. Hande's riding skills were obviously not as good as his, so how could he sit firmly on the horse?
Exerting force on the horse and exerting force on the ground are completely different concepts.
Tu Gilai grew up on a horse and was familiar with the key points of exerting force on horseback. But Hande...
Just when Tu Geilai was thinking wildly, he heard the cry of Liu Bao, the Xian King of Zuo, and he couldn't help but relax.
My king is here, what else can you do?
In his opinion, although Han De was fierce, he still had to give Liu Bao some face to Shen Tuze.
Unexpectedly, Han De ignored Liu Bao's shouting and slashed Huashan with a big disk ax, heading towards Bald Gui. Bald Gui came in a hurry and raised his big sword to meet him. But as soon as the big knife was raised, he felt
Something was wrong. The knife was so heavy that it was almost impossible to hold it. The moment the swords and axes clashed, the big knife in Tu Geilai's hand flew out directly. The disc-shaped ax carried the force of thunder and struck Tu Gui unstoppably.
The sharp ax blade sank into Tu Guilai's head, and the huge force directly smashed Tu Guilai's head to pieces, and his brains splattered.
"ah……"
Before Tu Geilai could finish screaming, he was split into two halves.
The Huns who were watching the battle suddenly became furious. They pulled out their weapons one by one and wanted to rush over to avenge Bald Gui.
As they moved, the mission's guards also took action.
The smell of gunpowder suddenly became extremely strong, and the two sides were about to clash with each other.
"Stop it all!"
The Jinhuan Huns came from a distance and shouted loudly.
At the same time, Liu Guang also said sternly: "Guard Army, retreat!"
The two of them came to the center of the arena one after another. Cao Peng slowly walked out and motioned for Han De to retreat behind him.
"Come here, take down this vicious guy!"
Liu Guang roared angrily, and the imperial troops following him were about to come up immediately.
"Let me see who dares to take action."
Cao Peng looked at the forbidden troops and shouted coldly: "The mission station is sacred and represents the sovereignty and dignity of our Han Dynasty. The Huns came to provoke us and regarded them as enemies of our Han Dynasty. Han De was ordered to go to war and kill the invading enemies, which is a meritorious service."
Your Majesty, why did the Marquis of Linyi not care about the facts and come up to capture Han De? Are you not afraid of chilling the hearts of the soldiers by doing this?"
Liu Guang was suddenly stunned!
Sovereignty? Residence of the mission?
Cao Peng's words were more based on the provisions of later embassies.
In his opinion, not to mention that Shuofang was originally the territory of the Han Dynasty, even though it was the territory of the Huns, the residence of the mission, just like the embassy of later generations, had sacred sovereignty and was inviolable. But these concepts basically did not exist in the Han Dynasty.
There is no such thing as sovereignty. What sovereignty is sacred and what is inviolable? Liu Guang simply doesn’t know where to start.
But after thinking about it carefully, I feel that there is some truth to it.
He wanted to help Liu Bao, but he didn't know where to start.
Liu Bao said sharply: "Who are you?"
"I am Cao Peng, the captain of the Zhengqiang School, and the commander-in-chief of the army guard of this mission... Who are you? Why are you showing off your horses in my mission station? Do you think that I, a big man, have nothing?"
As he spoke, Cao Peng stared up, raised his hands, and said sternly: "The guards are listening to the order, and the bows and arrows are ready."
That means telling Liu Bao that you must get off the horse for me when the Han Dynasty Mission is stationed.
Liu Bao's face was ashen.
Recently, he has been quite proud of himself.
Ever since Yu Fuluo died and Hu Chuquan succeeded Shan Yu, Liu Bao had been restless.
Yuvluo left him a great foundation. Even if he could not take on the role of Shanyu, he still had enough capital to establish himself as king.
Huchuquan?
Liu Bao never took this uncle seriously, let alone regarded him as a Chanyu.
Because, in Liu Bao's view, Huchuquan was too weak! If he were a Chanyu, he might have led the Xiongnu to sweep across Xianbei and occupy the fortress, instead of being huddled in Shuofang and being cautious like this.
Wait and see.
Today, the Han Dynasty is in decline.
It was no longer enough to make the Southern Xiongnu surrender.
So when Liu Guang contacted him secretly, Liu Bao was immediately moved.
He knew that the Han emperor was using him; but in fact, why couldn't he use the Han emperor? At least for now, the Southern Xiongnu could still be regarded as Han officials. If he could get the support of the Han emperor, he would
He was more confident and ascended to the position of Shanyu. Didn't the Han family say: Masters are famous! Now, the 'master' is in Liu Bao's hands. What he lacks is a righteous name. Liu Guang came to visit and asked Liu Bao
To be right and in mind...
Just now, he was discussing matters with Liu Guang, and unexpectedly got news that his subordinate Tu Gui had come to provoke him.
Liu Bao also hoped to take this opportunity to show Liu Guang the bravery of the Huns in order to gain more benefits and support. So after receiving the news, he was not in a hurry, but deliberately or unintentionally delayed Liu Guang's speed.
Who knew...
Liu Bao looked at Liu Guang angrily, "Marquis Linyi, what do you mean?"
Liu Guang also felt shameless, "Cao Peng, what do you want to do?"
Cao Peng smiled, looked around at the people around him, and said to Liu Guang: "Marquis of Linyi, I don't want to do anything, I just want to protect the face of my Han family."
He emphasized the word 'face' so hard that Liu Guang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
But the frightened look disappeared immediately. Liu Guang gritted his teeth and said sternly: "The Xiongnu and my Han family are brothers. How dare you kill someone without authorization and defend the murderer? I am now ordering you to hand over the murderer in the name of the emperor."
murderer."
"Marquis Linyi, are you confused?"
Cao Peng raised his head and said sternly: "I am the captain of the Qiang army ordered by Sikong Mansion. I am responsible for the safety of the mission and the dignity of our great Han Dynasty. The Huns who came to provoke us were provoking a provocation against our Han Dynasty. Those who were killed by Xin Zhi were intruders."
This is a great achievement. If I hand him over, wouldn't it mean that my Han Dynasty will lose face? That's the way I am. I don't want to return to Xudu in the future and tell my children that I will kill him with my own hands.
The hero who protects the dignity of my great man is handed over to outsiders... If I really do this, I will never be able to raise my head in front of my children in my life, let alone see Sikong again."
"you……"
"Linyi Marquis, it is your business to negotiate with the Huns.
But the guard army is under my command, you'd better not interfere... Also, King Zuo Xian, right? Let me say it again, the sovereignty of the envoy's residence is sacred. Take your people and dismount immediately, otherwise I will violate the sovereignty of my residence.
For this crime, I ordered the bows to be fired... If King Zuo Xian is smart, you should know that I am not a joke. I will count three times now. After three times, you will bear the consequences."
Cao Peng raised his hand again, and behind him, the archers of the legion's army came forward with a cheer, ready to go.
Liu Guang couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.
Cao Peng made it clear that he was loyal to Cao Cao.
Although he had known such a result for a long time, he still felt a little sad in his heart.
"Cao Peng, I am the envoy of the mission. I order you now..."
"one!"
Cao Peng didn't wait for Liu Guang to finish speaking and started counting.
He and Liu Guang are each their own masters.
He knew from the beginning that the two of them could not be friends.
At the Jade Emperor Mountain Beacon Tower, Cao Peng wanted to remind Liu Guang not to disregard the country and the people for his own selfish interests. However, Liu Guang's final choice disappointed Cao Peng. The assassination above the river,
This made Cao Peng completely cut off the weak friendship between him and Liu Guang. From then on, they were enemies, everlasting enemies...
Liu Bao suddenly laughed!
"My sons, dismount!"
He shouted loudly and jumped off his horse.
Liu Bao is not a flower in a greenhouse, but has experienced the fierce wind in Shuofang.
He could see that Cao Peng was an extremely tough person who would never bow his head, let alone compromise easily with anyone.
Liu Guangkong has the title of official envoy, but his actual control over the envoy is limited to the Imperial Army.
This also shows that the current situation of the Han Emperor is not very good... But the more this happens, the happier Liu Bao is. The reason is very simple! All he needs is a name of righteousness, the more powerful the Han Emperor becomes
Being sidelined means that the greater his desire for the Xiongnu soldiers and horses. The greater the desire, the more benefits Liu Bao can obtain...
As for Cao Peng, Liu Bao didn't care.
After he dismounted, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Cao Peng, and suddenly sneered: "It is indeed a great blessing for the Han family to have such a brave man as Captain Cao. I heard that the sons of the Han family are brave and good at fighting. It will happen in a few days."
, it’s our Southern Huns’ sheep-catching competition. I wonder if Captain Cao has the courage to participate? Let me explain first that the sheep-catching competition is very dangerous.
If Lieutenant Cao dared to come and attend, I would have said that what happened today would not have happened.
If you don't dare to come, just go back to the Central Plains and stop acting like a hero in front of me..."
Liu Guangze smiled solemnly on his horse and said: "Since King Zuo Xian invited Captain Cao, I will order you to participate on behalf of my sons of the Han family. What do you think?"
This is a big hat!
Cao Peng, didn’t you keep saying that you wanted to protect the face of the Han family?
So now is your chance to show off. Not only must you participate, but you must also win, otherwise you will lose the dignity of our Han family.
Cao Peng did not agree immediately, but stared at Liu Guang quietly.
The clear eyes made Liu Guang's heart tremble. But immediately, he put aside his guilt: Since you and I are our own masters, don't blame me for being ruthless. Do you, Cao Youxue, want to be a hero? Then, I will let you
Do it enough.
"Why, Captain Cao doesn't want to accept the offer?"
Cao Peng withdrew his gaze and looked towards Liu Bao.
After a moment, he smiled slightly and said, "Since King Zuo Xian invited me, how could Cao Peng refuse? However, if King Zuo Xian sent a character like Bald Geilai, then the name 'Hun Warrior' might not be real.
…”
Liu Bao's pupils suddenly shrank, and he gritted his teeth and said: "When the time comes, I will naturally let you see how powerful the Hun son is."
"Then I'll wait and see!"
Cao Peng didn't show any weakness, looked at Liu Bao and replied loudly.
"Okay, let's see the outcome of the sheep-catching competition in ten days."
Liu Bao snorted coldly, rolled up his sleeves and left.
Liu Guang, on the other hand, looked at Cao Peng blankly. After a moment, he sighed in his heart, turned his horse and left with Liu Bao...
Youxue, you and I are our own masters, don’t blame me!
