Liu Qian waited on the mound for a long time. Every time she raised her head and looked into the distance, she would think that countless Huns would come from the other side of the road to kill. However, every time, what she saw,
They were all empty, not even a single person was seen. Time passed minute by minute, as if it had been stretched. Liu Qian felt that a long time had passed, but the sun in the sky seemed to still be hanging in the same place, not moving to the west.
Moving signs.
Finally, two cavalrymen rushed over from the other side of the road. Liu Qian was refreshed, and she tightened her grip on the hunting bow in her hand, thinking: I can't embarrass my master!
However, a burst of cheers came from the distance. Then, Zhao Yun mounted his horse with the long-awaited cavalry and surged out towards the east. Then, the two cavalry who were delivering the order ran over and shouted loudly without even having time to catch their breath.
: "My lord has defeated the Huchuquan tribe and ordered General Li Kan to stay put. The Liang Xing tribe will immediately pursue the enemy eastward!"
"Ah?" Liu Qian said in surprise: "Master brought dozens of cavalry, how could he defeat the enemy?"
She said to Li Kan: "General Li, what's going on?"
How could Li Kan understand? He also had a confused expression. If hundreds of people were used to defeat thousands of people, he could still imagine it. How could dozens of cavalry defeat 5,000 Huns?
What about the cavalry?
He was speechless and said: "This...this..."
Liang Xing led a hundred cavalrymen out from behind the mound and followed the messenger to the east.
Chen Cheng led the cavalry towards the crowd kneeling on the ground. He stopped his horse in front of Qubei and said with a smile: "Isn't this the envoy of Huchuquan, Qubei?"
Qubei raised his head from the ground and said in a more humble tone: "Sir, Qubei salutes you!"
Chen Cheng laughed twice and asked, "Where is Huchuquan?"
Qubei replied: "Master Huchuquan is already returning to Yunzhong City in Tuzhong. Sir, you and Huchuquan had agreed to meet, so why did you suddenly attack us?"
"Bold!" The soldiers on the side were furious. Many of them aimed their weapons at Qubei, waiting for Chen Cheng's order to chop the daring Huns into pieces.
Chen Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "Hu Chuquan wants to send troops to sneak attack. If I don't launch a counterattack, I would be really stupid. Don't say you don't know his plan."
Qu Bei trembled slightly, but still held his head high and said: "Even if Lord Huchuquan had such thoughts, he was defeated by the Lord's troops before he took action. If this matter spreads, wouldn't others?
Do you think it was your Excellency who took the initiative to have evil intentions? How will the people of Liangzhou view this matter? How will the people of the world view this matter? Aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of heroes all over the world?"
Chen Cheng looked at Qubei again. He was still the same Huns, but he didn't expect that even a Huns could have such sunshine and courage. He pondered for a moment and said: "What you said makes sense, so how should this matter end?
?”
Qubei leaned down and said: "Master Huchuquan already knows how brave you are. Please forgive him this time. Master Huchuquan will definitely not dare to be an enemy of you again in the future. Master Huchuquan is guarding Yunzhong."
, I can stop the intrusion of the Wuhuan people for you. If Bingzhou Mu expands westward, Master Huchuquan can also respond to you from the flank."
He put his forehead on the ground and said humbly: "This is a humble opinion of a humble person. I only ask for your understanding."
Chen Cheng said "It's a pity" again, then turned around and asked Zhao Yun beside him, "Zilong, what do you think?"
Zhao Yun nodded slightly and said: "What he said is not unreasonable."
It’s not that he really thinks what Qubei said makes sense, but he knows that Chen Cheng is unwilling to mobilize the army to fight anymore, so he said this. Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Since Zilong also said so, then I agree to go
What a humble suggestion."
Qubei breathed a sigh of relief on the ground, but Chen Cheng added: "But after all, he wants to sneak attack during the meeting. If he wants me to let him go, he must agree to a few of my conditions."
Qubei gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, please tell me."
"First, compensate for one thousand war horses and two thousand cattle and sheep."
Qu Bei originally thought that Chen Cheng would open his mouth, but when he heard this condition, his heart dropped halfway. He said decisively: "Yes!"
"Second, Hu Chuquan committed such a heinous crime. I originally wanted to take off his head before I could rest. But now I feel that the living are more important than the dead. So, after you pass the conditions back, then go to
Linrong served me for three years."
Qubei was stunned for a moment and said: "How can a young man be loved by adults if he has little talent and little knowledge?"
Chen Cheng looked around, then asked Qubei loudly: "Hey, have you heard of the Chollima?"
Qubei said: "Not only have I heard of it, but I have also seen it."
"..." Chen Cheng waved his hand and said: "That's not important. What I want to say is: there is Bole first, and then there is a thousand-mile horse. A thousand-mile horse is always there, but Bole is not.
Yes. If no one discovers it, if there is no opportunity to show its talent, even if it has the ability of a thousand-mile horse, it can only be humiliated and died in a stable at the hands of slaves. In this case, the thousand-mile horse is not a thousand-mile horse, but just a horse.
An ordinary horse."
Qubei lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked: "Sir, are you saying that I, Qubei, am a thousand-mile horse?"
"Yes," Chen Cheng said, "compensation or something is just incidental. Am I, Chen Cheng, a person who is greedy for money?"
Qu Bei agrees with this point. Even if he has never dealt with Chen Cheng before, after Chen Cheng killed Xubu Guduhou, he generously rewarded all his soldiers, regardless of whether they were Han, Huns or Qiang, as long as they had established a
Those who had made great contributions received generous rewards. For example, the two traitors, Ri Zhu and Liu Yuan, were originally just leaders of a small tribe with a few hundred people. However, after the war, they transformed and were able to guard one side.
Chen Cheng continued: "How about it? You serve me for three years in exchange for Hu Chuquan's head. This condition is already very good."
Qubei sighed, prostrated on the ground, and said, "Since you love me so much, how dare you not die in service?"
Chen Cheng said with satisfaction: "Very good, then go find Huchuquan quickly, don't let him really run back to Yunzhong City. I will go to Manbai first, and you let Huchuquan take the horses, cattle and sheep."
Send them all to Manbo."
After saying this, Chen Cheng stopped pursuing the enemy and returned directly with his troops, leaving Qubei and hundreds of Huns behind.
When the sound of horse hooves disappeared into the distance, Qubei stood up. The Huns beside him also breathed a long sigh of relief. The fear of being killed suddenly disappeared, just like a heavy stone in their hearts suddenly disappeared.
Couldn't help but whisper to each other.
"That person is the Flying General? He looks so scary!"
"Yeah, yeah, it's really scary. Just now I thought he would eat us!"
"Nonsense, General Shenweitian is a Han, not our Huns... Ahem, why are you covering my mouth?"
The Huns who had their mouths covered turned around and saw Qubei with an unkind expression. He quickly bent down and said flatteringly: "Master Qubei, you are so powerful that you dare to talk to General Shenweitian. He was standing just now.
Here, we don’t even dare to let the air out.”
Qubei smiled bitterly, "I dare to talk to him and he is called awesome?"
He sighed loudly, and suddenly remembered something again, and said: "Although Chen Shijun is a Han, he can also speak the Huns very well. He knows so much about the affairs of the Southern Huns, I am afraid that we Huns
From now on, I can only be his slave."
However, the Huns on the side were happy when they heard this, "What? The flying general is willing to accept us as his slaves? This is really great!"
These days, a good dog also needs a good owner. Many of these Huns consider themselves good dogs. What's the difference between being a dog for the Luan Di family and being a dog for a flying general? Well,
, there is still a difference, the Flying General is more powerful than the Xiongnu's Great Chanyu. We Hu people are all competitive people both inside and outside, but Sui Feng is an expert in his ancestors, so don't forget it.
But he said that he went to Bei and led the people to hurry and hurry, and finally caught up with Huchuquan before he could cross the Yellow River.
"Sir!" Qubei jumped off his horse, pulled the reins of Huchuquan's horse and shouted loudly: "Shijun Chen has withdrawn his troops!"
"That guy... Chen Shijun really retreated?"
Qubei said: "It is true that we have withdrawn our troops."
Hu Chuquan was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Hahaha, I just said, God will never stop me!"
But before he could laugh for a while, Huchuquan frowned. He looked at Qubei suspiciously and asked, "Why did Chen Shijun retreat? I heard that he pursued Xubu Guduhou in order to kill him.
A journey of thousands of miles!"
When I went to Bei, I was looked at by Hu Chuquan with suspicion, and I couldn't help but feel cold. In order to fight for power and profit, the Hu people would fight each other every few years. The blood level was no worse than that in the Central Plains. Hu Chuquan
Quan's father, Qiangqu Chanyu, was hacked to death by the Xiongnu noble group. It is normal for Huchuquan to be a little suspicious.
But Hu Chuquan's suspicion may very well cost his life. He suppressed the fear in his heart and said: "Chen Shijun said that I want you to compensate one thousand horses, two thousand cattle and sheep, and...
..."
"And what?"
"And let me be his slave for three years."
Hu Chuquan looked at Bei with strange eyes for a while, and the expression on his face kept changing, from confusion to ferocity, from happiness to doubt. Finally, he finally laughed and said: "In this case, then please go
You can go over with your cattle, sheep and horses. We Huns don't have many other things, just livestock and war horses. By the way, after you go over, help me say hello to Chen Shijun. Just say that I was temporarily confused before, but I will definitely not be the same in the future.
Don’t you dare to offend his power again.”
Qu humbly said: "No!"
Huchuquan immediately ordered people to get cattle and sheep from nearby tribes, and also asked the soldiers to free up a thousand war horses, and asked Qubei to take them to Chen Cheng. Qubei recruited hundreds of people and drove the cattle
The sheep headed in the direction of Manbai. Only when they were far away from the place where Huchuquan was located did Qubei feel relieved.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked back in the direction behind him, and said to himself: "The Han people say: Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Although Huchuquan is not a king, he is much more terrifying than a tiger. In comparison,
Although Chen Shijun is scary, at least when you are around her, you don't have to worry about losing your head for no apparent reason."
Qubei smiled bitterly and touched his head, saying: "I am also a Huns, what is this?"
