Chapter 118
Just as Tuobarui's army was starting to march towards Juyang City, the capital of Shanggu County, Liu He arrived at Yan Rou to visit the Wuhuan leader Nanlou.
"Shuzhi! That guy is too ignorant! It's better to see him at first sight than to hear him! He actually treated the Han army envoys like a reprimand!" Yan Rou waved the whip angrily.
"There are always more difficult methods than difficulties." Liu He sighed helplessly: "If you don't get rid of the Wuhuan people in Shanggu County, what's the point of fighting this battle? Just give Shanggu to the Xianbei people."
Yan Rou felt embarrassed: "Follow it, I have not fulfilled my mission, I am ashamed!"
Liu He waved his hand helplessly and signaled Yan Rou not to blame himself. He thought for a moment and said, "You should tell me the details of your conversation. I want to understand the whole story and see if there is any good solution."
Then Yan Rou told the story of going to Baishan and Nanlou. It turned out that the old fox, Nanlou, did not see the rabbit or show eagle. Seeing that the Han army in Shanggu was suppressed by the Xianbei people, he neither sent troops to rescue, nor stopped his nephew Tituo and the Xianbei people's military operations.
In fact, before coming, my father Liu Yu told Liu He that among the few Wuhuan chiefs, Nanlou was closest to the prefecture. He often said that one of his ancestors was a princess of the Han Dynasty. His blood contained the blood of the Han people. The governor Liu Yu was also a relative of the Han family, so they were born closer than others. For this reason, on the one hand, he strongly supported Liu Yu, and at the same time he also gained the most benefits from Liu Yu.
The Wuhuan in Shanggu is the most powerful among the Wuhuan counties and has the deepest footprints in the Han area. As far as the Sangqian River area, there are almost all tents of the Wuhuan people.
This time, Liu He asked Yan Rou to go to the chief of Wuhuan to do comfort work. The first stop was the Nanlou District, with the purpose of which was to get the support of Nanlou to go to the other tribes. Unexpectedly, when he saw Nanlou, he turned aside before he could say a few words, Nanlou turned his face and said that Yan Rou was talking nonsense and slandering people. It was the prefect of Shanggu who was sinister and sinister to provoke trouble.
As soon as he said this, the Wuhuan people next to him drew their swords and danced with swords and cursed loudly. Yan Rou had no chance to speak anymore and had to leave Baishan in shame.
After listening quietly, Liu He looked at Yan Rou who was a little disappointed and comforted: "Brother Ziyu has worked hard! Let's be polite first and then soldiers. Since this old guy doesn't give you Ziyu's face, he will just slap me in the face! This guy is afraid that the old birthday boy will have a long life after eating arsenic. I'm afraid that this matter will be something that I'll leave in person."
Yan Rou hesitated for a moment and said cautiously: "Shunzhi, don't be careless. Nanlou is not a good person to talk to."
"If you can't talk, then hit him until he's easy to talk! He insists on toasting and not eating and punishing him." Liu He immediately said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei: "Yun Chang, Yide will follow me to Baishan to meet the old fox."
"How many soldiers should the lord bring?" Han Meng asked.
"Military Order: Now all the troops are under the control of Yan Rou! All actions are subject to command! Those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law." Liu He said seriously.
"Shun it! This... you will take Yun Chang, Yide..." Yan Rou wanted to persuade.
"No obstacle! Let Deran and Wushuang bring a personal guard." Liu He had made up his mind.
"No! Obey the general's order." Guan, Zhang, Liu and Pan said in unison.
"After I leave for two hours, you will immediately lead your troops to the foot of Baishan and make a storm." Liu He ordered Yan Rou.
"Attack Wuhuan?" Yan Rou raised her eyebrows and her eyes became colder: "Shunzhi, are you... sure?"
"Gongsun Bogui is right! These Hu people are bullying the weak and fearing the strong and only accepting the fist." Liu He said calmly: "It is of course a good thing to be able to convince, but if they do not have enough strength and determination to use force, I don't think they will be so obedient, otherwise I don't need to go in person."
At this time, Han Meng's eyebrows swayed and he couldn't help but speak: "The lord really wants to use force to force Han Lou to bow his head. Are you afraid that Han Lou will kill him because of this?"
Liu He smiled: "Only you gather at the foot of the mountain, showing a crusade against the death-torn situation, and with the determination to use force, I will be safer. I want to tell the Han Han army that the power of the tiger is still there, so that they know that although my great man established the world with virtue, he not only had the classical techniques mentioned by Confucian scholars, but also the sharp ring-headed sword in our hands. It can not only bring virtue to the world, but also cross the desert and kill all directions."
Although the generals sounded Shuxin, they were still a little suspicious, because if they really wanted to start a war, it would be impossible to defeat Nanlou by these two or three thousand soldiers. Even if Nanlou did not use other nomadic tribes, the standing guards in Baishan alone would be enough to compete with them.
"Shunzhi, you know that if our subordinates have to die, there will be more than 3,000 riders." Yan Rou reminded.
"I know." Liu He nodded: "How can you get a tiger's son if you don't enter the tiger's den?"
But at this moment, Nanlou was very entangled. Since Yan Rou was bombarded by him, he had a little uneasy. Over the years, his relationship with the Han people has always been good. Although the bloodline that even he himself could not explain has helped him a lot, it was his sleekness and sophistication. He knew who could bully, who could rely on, when to be tough, and when to be humble. Such skills, not to mention that people on the grassland are not good at, even Han people may not be better than him. Because of these skills, among the more than a dozen Wuhuan chiefs, he got the most benefits and lived the most prosperous life.
But this also made him more dependent on the Han people. He was used to the fine wines of the Han people, the exquisite clothes of the Han people, and the comfort brought by various objects made by Han craftsmen. He was reluctant to give up these again and return to the nomadic life of cool clothes and drinking.
After thinking about it for a long time, I felt that the current Han Dynasty might not be the same as before. He saw obvious changes from those officials. When he was dealing with the Huns hundreds of years ago, the prefects of the border counties were furious and led their troops to attack, even if they died in battle, they would not hesitate to fight. The famous general was always fighting, while the Han people now spoke softly and politely gave a lot of money and goods so that they could get a comfortable life without fighting in exchange for peace.
Such a great man may be nothing to bully him, and he may even get greater benefits. Moreover, there have been countless precedents in such matters. After each rebellion, the Han people not only dare not punish them, but also become more polite.
This made Nanlou feel a little moved, so he didn't give Yan Rou a good look last time and made him unable to get off the stage in person.
However, after Yan Rou left, Nanlou was a little worried about gains and losses. He was not afraid of Liu Yu's actions. If nothing unexpected happened, Liu Yu would soon send another envoy to bring more gifts and a more polite smile. He was worried about what Liu He was. The lieutenant who killed Wuyan, the unlucky ghost and the Xianbei people in the east, became famous for most of the past six months, and was as famous as Gongsun Zan. Although he knew that Liu He was the son of Liu Yu, the father and son had different political views. One advocated appeasement of all races, and the other advocated the suppression of the rebellion.
What Nanlou didn’t know was that he had offended Liu He.
He was still dreaming, and within the expected time, Liu Yu would definitely send a new envoy to come - Liu He had asked Yan Rou to visit Liu Yu before.
However, two or three hours passed and no one appeared. Nanlou began to feel uneasy. He sent a large number of scouts deep into Shanggu, and even went far into Yuyang and Guangyang to inquire about the situation. The news made him even more uneasy.
The Han people were mobilizing a large number of troops, and the avenue was full of civilians and convoys transporting food. Shanggu Juyang strengthened the city defense day and night, and countless refugees were recruited into the city and prepared for the war.
I hope this is just to deal with the Xianbei people. Why are the two idiots Murong Fu and Tuobarui so ambitious? Can't they have to occupy the land and rob them?
The Han people were so nervous, so naturally they were to guard against the Xianbei people and would not provoke the Wuhuan people at this time and end up in a situation where they were both enemies.
It must be true. Nanlou comforted himself like this, but despite this, he was still nervous and sent people to the valley every day to check if there were any Han envoys appearing.
When he learned that Liu He and others were outside the mountain, he breathed a sigh of relief, but then he became nervous again.
Liu He? It’s the captain who is trying to attack the enemy! Shouldn’t he be in Bai Tan?
Nanlou was worried again. Liu He came. He definitely did not mean that Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou. What does Liu He mean? Should he fight or fight?
Standing on the hillside, Nanlou looked at Liu He and his party slowly coming, and he couldn't help but think.
