Six hundred and fiftieth IX aspirations of the ear and nose
Many people present knew the name Yu Erbi, but regarding his identity, except for a few people in Xuzhou who knew the inside story, the rest did not know the true identity of Erbi, including Guo Jia
.
Xu Rong, the only high-ranking general who knew about this incident, was still guarding Pengcheng with Lu Su and was not here.
Most people thought that he was just a refugee from the Huns who had fled to the Central Plains, and was responsible for raising horses full-time under the pottery merchant.
Since the pottery merchants hijacked more than 4,000 war horses from Li Jue and Guo Si and delivered them to the Jinling Racecourse for breeding and training, the quantity and quality of the Jinling Army's horse troops have been completely inferior compared to those of the past.
Same thing.
Among them, the horses of Li Jue and Guo Si were certainly important, but Ernose also contributed indispensably.
In today's Northern Expedition, although the number of cavalry under Tao Shang's command is still not as high as that of Yuan Shao, they have enough capital to compete with him.
It's just that although Yu Erbi has gained some fame under the pottery merchant, his reputation for raising good horses is not as good as his military merit. In everyone's mind, he has always been a logistics support personnel.
Now the pottery merchant actually wants him to pretend to surrender... What kind of plan is this?
Moreover, in this Northern Expedition, what kind of trouble will the pottery merchant lead with a horse-breeding army?
Naturally, the function of the ears and nose is not something that others can know, and the pottery merchant does not want to tell everyone.
This Northern Expedition is not just about dealing with Yuan Shao. Such a large-scale campaign in Hebei will inevitably attract the attention of the Xianbei, Xiongnu, Wuhuan and other tribes, and they will inevitably take action. For the pottery merchants, Yu Erbi
It's a secret move against the alien race's layout.
Everyone left temporarily with doubts, but the pottery merchant ordered Pei Qianyu to bring him over.
The potter had raised this little Hun prince for many years, but this time he could finally be put to use.
Raising an army for a thousand days, using it for a while... Little wolf dog, the time has come to let you go back to the grassland to eat shit.
The pottery merchant has really treated Ernose well these years, and has always treated him with delicious food and drinks.
And Yu Erbi has lived up to expectations. After seven years of raising horses in Xuzhou, he has become a veritable fat man.
The stocky prairie-type standard figure of the past is gone. With his thick double chin, six-pack abs and two mustaches, he looks like a fat wine shop owner.
Who dares to call such a man a grassland warrior and the king of the southern Huns?
Judging from his size, this prairie warrior is probably almost unable to ride a horse now.
After quietly looking at Yu Ernose for a while, the pottery merchant suddenly sighed: "Your Highness, compared to the last time you reported to me the increase in the number of Jinling war horses, you seem to have gained a lot of weight."
"Really?" Yu Erbi raised his hand and pinched his chubby face, and said, "Why don't you feel it, my subordinate? On the contrary, I feel that I have lost a little weight recently and my body is very uncomfortable."
The potter rolled his eyes and said: "After so many years, I never expected that you would become like this bird... This is all my fault... That's all, let's not talk about it for the time being. Yu Ernsu, I need your help with something.
Do it.”
Yu Erbi quickly said: "Prime Minister, if you have anything to do, just give me your orders. Could it be that you got some good horses from somewhere?"
The pottery merchant couldn't help but be happy when he heard this.
This guy is very dedicated to his job.
"Yu Erbi, you have raised horses for me for seven years. Now it's time to give you back the status you deserve. Now that the imperial court is newly established in Nanchang, Tao plans to let you make contributions and bring glory to the clan. Are you willing?"
"
"My own tribe?" Yu Erbi blinked in confusion and asked, "Isn't this subordinate Han?"
Suddenly a black line appeared on the potter's head.
This old boy has been well educated, but now he considers himself Han?
The assimilation of Chinese civilization across Hainan and hundreds of rivers is truly breathtaking. The capacity of our nation to absorb is truly unfathomable... We have been brainwashed in just seven years?
You are Han, so who am I? Divine?
The pottery merchant slammed the table and shouted: "What Han, you forgot, you are a great Huns!"
Yu Erbi's face suddenly showed a look of horror: "I? Am a Huns?"
"Yes, and he is an authentic little Hun prince."
Hearing the words in his ears and nose, he bit his lip and remained silent for a long time.
"Luan Tiyufuluo! Have you forgotten your identity as a Southern Huns? Have you forgotten the shame of being expelled from the tribe? Have you forgotten your people and your inheritance?"
Yu Erbi was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "It seems that there is such a thing. I have already forgotten all this, why does the Prime Minister want me to remember it again."
The pottery merchant said dryly: "Let me recall your eight generations of ancestors for you. Is there anything wrong with you?"
Yu Erbi: "..."
"I have remembered all the things I should be thinking about, so we can talk about this matter. Tao's purpose in bringing you to Hebei is to give you a chance to return to the royal court of the Southern Huns and regain power. Do you intend to take it?
?”
Yu Erbi shook his head vigorously: "No."
The potter was immediately confused by the answer.
"That's not right...Er and Nose, you don't follow the routine. Now I am giving you a chance to return to the Southern Huns Palace. Didn't you hear clearly?"
Yu Erbi nodded and said: "I heard you clearly... But there is really nothing good about going back to the royal palace of the Huns in the south. To be honest, life on the grassland is not that good. It is exposed to wind and sun every day, and there is a lack of food and clothing.
The climate is also cold, so what can a prince do? He leads the people to move around and suffers a lot. How can it compare with the splendid hometown of Jinling City and the comfort and ease of life in a wealthy city?"
The potter's eyes were fixed on Yu Erbi's big belly.
"Well, I can see that you have been extremely comfortable these past few years." The pottery merchant frowned.
"Prime Minister, my current wish is to raise horses safely in Jinling City, eat and drink, and live a carefree life. As for the things that Xu Bu Gudu did to me back then, I have long forgotten.
Let all those grievances and grudges drift away with the wind. The position of the Great Chanyu of the Southern Huns is already dispensable to me..."
Tao Shang laughed when he heard this: "The position of the Great Chanyu in the royal court of the Southern Huns is dispensable to you, but it is very important to me. You can't try to shirk it. This time, Tao will definitely take the position of the Great Chanyu."
I want to take it back for your whole family. If you don’t sit down, I will ask your son Liu Hu to do it, and I will also cut off your salary in Jinling! I will let you drink the northwest wind."
Yu Erbi was shocked when he heard this: "Prime Minister, aren't you forcing people? This is too much."
The potter smiled and said, "Then do you agree or not?"
Yu Erbi bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and said, "What does the Prime Minister want me to do?"
"..."
After a while, Yu Erbi left the camp and prepared to go according to the potter's request.
Pei Qian, who was guarding outside the tent, heard the whole process, walked in and said to Tao Shang: "Prime Minister, I didn't expect that this Yufuluo had been raising horses for seven or eight years, and all the ambitions in his chest were wiped out, and he fell into this hopeless situation.
.”
The pottery merchant snorted: "Really? Not necessarily. After the conversation just now, I actually think that he is trying his best to survive. Moreover, the city has grown a lot compared to the past. What he said just now was all just pretentious.
I see that he is thinking about how to restore his former position and become the King of Mobei again all the time."
