Liu Xiu hid his anger under his smile, but Han Sui, Wang Yun and others could not hold back. Qiang Qu came with a large army and set up a formation five miles outside the camp, making them nervous for a while. Now they are aggressive and posing as if they are the hosts. Is it tolerant?

There was no need for Liu Xiu to instigate him or unify his opinions. Not long after the banquet began, Han Sui stood up, bowed with a smile, first bowed to Liu Xiu, then turned around and gave a bow to Qiangqu and his son, and said very politely, "I am bored with wine, so I am not talented. I am willing to sing a long song and dance a sword to cheer up the right wise king."

The Youxian King was very surprised. He stroked the short beard under his forehead and looked at Han Sui happily. It was great that the famous Han people were willing to dance swords for him to cheer him up. He didn't even dare to say anything. Han Sui didn't say much, pulled out the ring knife around his waist, used the sword as a sword, and danced and sang.

Han Sui's voice was a bit natural and hoarse, and the song came from a desolate and generous atmosphere. Although his songs were not complicated, the artistic conception was very high. It sounded very impressive in Qiangqu, which was used to seeing the grassland and desert. However, although he spoke well in Chinese, he was not familiar with the lyrics of the Han people. He could understand a few words vaguely, but he didn't understand them very much. He just felt that the artistic conception was good, so he clapped his hands to respond.

After hearing a few words, Liu Xiu immediately realized the hostility, especially when he heard the sentence "A horse stepped on the Xiongnu, and a knife killed the Xianbei. I wish to capture the Right King from the General of Guard...", he couldn't help but look at Han Sui in surprise, thinking that although this guy was a famous scholar, he was a famous scholar from Liangzhou. The murderous aura in the lyrics was really strong.

Before Qiang Qu could feel anything, Yu Fuluo felt hostility from it. He pulled the translator, and the translator looked embarrassed and said a few words. Yu Fuluo's face suddenly became dark, his black face turned red, and he pulled Qiang Qu's sleeve with his hand. Qiang Qu was fascinated by his disturbance. He could barely hear him and the joy on his face disappeared immediately.

After Han Sui finished singing, he calmly retreated as if he had not seen Qiang Qu's face.

The tent was silent, Qiang Qu did not speak with a cold face, Han Sui was calm, Wang Yun seemed to be afraid that the fire would not be burned enough, so he raised his glass and praised: "Wen Appointment of the song is enough to enhance his spirit." Yuan Shao hesitated for a moment, pushed Chen Chen away to pull his hand, and raised his glass and praised: "Wen Appointment of the song is good, and the sword is good."

Han Sui laughed loudly, very happy.

Liu Xiu laughed in his heart, but pretended not to understand it on his face, and asked curiously: "Wen Yue, is your song singing the Battle of Gaoque for General Wei Qingwei?"

Han Sui bowed and said, "That's right, if there is something wrong, please give me advice."

Liu Xiu savored the savor seriously and continued, "Wen Yue, you sang this song well, but when General Wei was still in the Great Xianbei Mountains, he had no chance to meet it." He turned his head and said to Qiang Qu apologetically: "Youxian King, you should have nothing to do with that Youxian King, right?"

Qiang Qu was angry, but he was hard to say, so he nodded and said, "It doesn't matter if you are the Lord. Not only is the Right Xian King, I, have nothing to do with that Right Xian King, but the Huns in Bingzhou, have nothing to do with the Huns at that time. We are descendants of Huhanye, with the surname Zangti, and the Right Xian King, the surname Gutu, are not a family."

Liu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief "relaxed" and "blame" Han Sui said, "I'm lucky that I'm not wrong, otherwise the Right Xian King would think you were intentionally offending, but what should I do?" He said, and changed his smile to Qiang Qu and said, "You Xian King, I think you won't have a fight for this, right?"

Qiangqu laughed dryly, "No, no."

Wang Yun stood up and said loudly: "Sir, I'm worried too much. Although the Youxian King is also a Hun, they are my Han friends. These people often go out to fight with the Han army. Back then, Douche defeated the Northern Huns, among which there were 30,000 soldiers from the Southern Huns. Their hatred towards the Northern Huns was stronger than that of us. I'm right, right?"

Qiang Qu's old face turned red. Although he felt it was very uncomfortable, he could not refute it. They were indeed even more cruel than the Han people when they killed the Northern Huns. Every time the Han army went out of the frontier, the shadow of their Southern Huns was indispensable.

"Since that's the case, I'm relieved." Liu Xiu raised his cup and said loudly: "Cheer to our friendship with the Right Xian King. This time we will fight side by side again, hoping to kill all the Xianbei people and regain the homes that the Huns occupied by them."

Qiang Qu then calmed down, and raised his glass with Wang Yun and others tacitly raised his glass. Next, Wang Yun sang another song, and Yuan Shao was not willing to be outdone, so he sang one along. Perhaps because he felt that their anger was too strong, Chen Chen also took the initiative to chant a Han fu, but he chanted too much, not only did Qiang Qu and others not understand, but even Liu Xiu seemed to understand.

Seeing the performance talents of the Han people, Qiang Qu and his son were both envious and ashamed. Although they didn't understand it very much, they also knew that this was a symbol of culture. No matter how good the riding and shooting was, it was useless. If they could not recite poems and essays, they were barbarians after all and could not be recognized by the Han people. They felt that the Han people were weak and did not want to become like them, and they also felt that the Han people were elegant, hoping that they could speak like them and be accepted by them. The complex feelings made them feel at a loss.

After the banquet, Qiangqu and his son invited Liu Xiu and others to the banquet tomorrow. After receiving their promise, they got on the horse and left. However, Han Sui and others did not end. They stayed around Liu Xiu, and almost said in unison that the Huns were too arrogant. If they did not hit their arrogance, it would be difficult to drive them smoothly.

Only Chen Chen expressed his different opinions fiercely. The Huns were arrogant, but if there were no cavalry of the Huns, what could you do? What are the benefits of angering the Huns at this time? If they counterattack on the battlefield, can you still return to Luoyang alive? A gentleman conquers people with virtue, not with tongues to fight for victory or defeat. Since the Huns have already belonged to our Han Dynasty, we should have the master's measure and don't care too much about those details. They are barbarians, but you are not.

Liu Xiu had always had a bad impression of Chen Chen. He subconsciously regarded their father and son as hypocrites, at least as fake famous scholars who could only speak but not speak. However, after hearing Chen Chen's words this time, he did not simply sneer. It was not that he agreed with Chen Chen's competing with virtue, but that he thought Chen Chen was right, and he had some advantage when drinking and gained some advantage in words. It looked very pleasant, but in fact it didn't work much, and sometimes it might even backfire.

Especially when dealing with the Huns, lip service is useless. The key is whether the fists are hard enough.

"Qiang Qu said that the Xianbei people might have actions. What do you think?" Liu Xiu asked the most important question quietly. Qiang Qu might just say it casually, but what if it is true? When he arrived in the northern border, the news would inevitably spread to the grassland. Although Huai Zong was not dead at his hands, it was unrelated to him. It would be reasonable if Tan Shihuai wanted to kill him to avenge Huai Zong. There are less than 4,000 people in the Northern Army now. Not to mention the newly trained soldiers, even if it is a powerful army in a hundred battles, it is impossible to deal with the Xianbei people alone.

"From the safest point, we should immediately notify Tan Zhonglang to summon the Huns." Wang Yun thought for a while and said straight to the point: "At the same time, we can notify General Du Liao and Chief of Xihe, so that we can have nearly 10,000 Han troops and have a certain strength to shock the Huns."

Yuan Shao stroked his palm and asked a question: "There are nearly 500 miles east and west of Wuyuan County, and dozens of fortresses. The large fortresses are just Wuyuan Pass, Shuofang Pass, Gaoque Pass and Jilu Pass everywhere. How can we defend our troops?"

Liu Xiu also scratched his head. Insufficient troops were his biggest problem at present. Every time the Xianbei people invaded, they never fought alone. They went out in several ways, and each way had at least three or four thousand cavalry, which was hard to defend. Even with the help of the Huns, it was difficult to completely block the Xianbei people. There were always several ways to break into Senei.

Liu Xiu was amused and crying. Meng Tian attacked the Huns in the north and Wei Qing attacked the Huns in 100,000. He was better than 10,000. He was still divided into three people. It was really Wang Xiaoer's New Year, and every year was worse than that. He touched his head in despair, "Jing Sheng, report to Your Majesty the situation here quickly and ask Your Majesty to transfer troops to help."

"Alas." Liu Biao bowed to respond. He hesitated for a moment and asked again: "Sir, what strategy do you have?"

"Strategy?" Liu Xiu smiled even worse: "What strategy do you think you can have now?"

Liu Biao was stunned and had no objection at all. What would His Majesty say?

"The magic of using troops lies in one's heart." Seeing that Yuan Shao and others' faces were a little dull, Liu Xiu said in a flash: "When you attack with less, you will be more important. If you can fight, you will fight. If you can't fight, you will leave. How can you decide the following strategy in advance? I have said these words to Your Majesty before I came, and I think Your Majesty should be able to understand."

"What the lord said is very much." Han Sui touched his chin and looked at the fortress marked on the map. His tone was calm, but he was full of confidence: "We lack troops. If we are satisfied with defending, we will not be fully guarded. Instead of doing this, it is better to turn our backs and take the initiative."

"Take an initiative?" Yuan Shao felt something, and his eyes lit up: "Shanxi, the Xianbei people are used to being arrogant. They are not concentrating their troops, but the intersection of the troops. If this is the case, there must be not too many people on each route. We are not fully guarded, but if we concentrate our troops to attack them all the way, we still have a chance."

After hearing this, Liu Biao agreed very much. The three of them turned their eyes to Liu Xiukou and Liu Xiu nodded repeatedly: "A clever plan!"

"Sir, can you do it?" Han Sui and Yuan Shao looked at each other and became excited.

"Of course it is available." Liu Xiu laughed, his thoughts suddenly became clear. He turned to the map and glanced quickly: "Shi Zi, as far as you know, how many places do Xianbei people often go in and out?"

Wang Yun also reacted at this time. He quickly walked to the map, pointed at it, and said loudly: "There are three large tribes in the Xianbei in the West, namely the Red Ridge, the Kuangsha Tribe and the Wild Wolf Tribe. They generally do not act in concert, but instead face the invasion entrance of the Red Ridge. They usually have three places where they invade, one is Yunzhongsai, the other is Jilusai, and the other is Yangshu Lake area here."

Wang Yun pointed to the map and explained in detail. Liu Xiu and others listened intently, and discussed with each other from time to time. Although they found a breakthrough point, the situation was still not optimistic. The Red Ridge tribe was strong and strong. Even if the troops were divided into three groups, each group was as good as them. Any way they encountered was a tough battle.

"It seems that the Huns are still indispensable." Liu Xiu clanged his knuckles and slowly turned around in the tent: "This is the first attack in Changshui Camp, and he will win the first battle, otherwise we will never be able to boost our morale in the future. This battle must be motivated, and we cannot rely entirely on the Huns, otherwise their arrogance will become more and more arrogant."

Wang Yun and others nodded.

"Let's do this, we use battle instead of training. First pick up easy gnaws, accumulate small victories into big victories, and then chew hard bones when the teeth are sharpened." Liu Xiu made up his mind and turned his head to look at them: "How?"

Wang Yun smiled: "What lord said is exactly what I want."

Han Sui and Yuan Shao also nodded.

"Since that's the case, don't stimulate Qiangqu these two days." Liu Xiu smiled helplessly: "It's better to suppress the anger first when facing the enemy."

Wang Yun disagreed and said nothing. Han Sui smiled unanimously, but Yuan Shao agreed with Liu Xiu's opinion very much. He also felt that there was no practical significance in a fight of will at this time.

"Everyone, go and prepare. I have to think about how to deal with Qiangqu tomorrow." Liu Xiu sighed, feeling very unhappy. He looked at the Huns and had to win him over. Although a real man can bend and stretched, he is not the kind of person who suffers face, but he always feels uncomfortable when he thinks of saying good things to the Huns.

Yuan Shao and others surrendered one after another. Just as they were about to turn around and leave the tent, Liu Xiu said, "Sir, I know you are both civil and military. You will be led by you for the time being in charge of the soldiers recruited from Taiyuan and Yanmen."

Wang Yun was overjoyed and thanked him again: "Thank you sir."

Liu Xiu turned around and said seriously: "Zi Shi, Benchu, Wen Yue, you are all rare generals. As the saying goes, it is easy to get a thousand troops, but it is hard to find a general. It is my honor to be able to fight side by side with you. I hope that we can fight the power of Changshui Camp this time and the power of the Han army, not only to make the Xianbei people and our Han army not insult, but also to let the Huns know that our Han swords are still sharp!"

Wang Yun and the other two put away their smiles and responded in unison: "Alas!"

After seeing off Wang Yun and the others, Liu Xiu still felt a little uncomfortable. He was frustrated, angry, and unwilling to join him, which made him feel a little upset. At that time, Emperor Wu of Han was 600,000 border troops, and the Huns fled. Now the Han people have a population of 60 million, but the number of border troops is only more than 10,000. He still has to rely on the enemy of that year to fight. This is victory? Many people think so. Countless Confucian scholars like Cai Yong boasted that Emperor Guangwu's civil rule was better than Emperor Wu of Han's martial arts, and even famous generals like Zhang Huan had this idea.

Yes, it is indeed economically cost-effective to use the Huns to defend the border. Although the Han Dynasty gave nearly 200 million yuan to the Huns a year, it would definitely not be able to support so many people if they had to raise soldiers. The most basic expenses for each soldier were more than 6,000 or 7,000 yuan per year. If a battle occurred, the cost would rise sharply. Two hundred million yuan would mean 20,000 yuan to raise soldiers, but 20,000 yuan is far from enough.

However, can we put the heavy responsibility of border defense on the shoulders of the Huns because of the little money? The Huns are not trustworthy security companies. Besides, I have heard of companies asking for security guards, and I have never heard of a great country who handed over national security to mercenaries.

Liu Xiu paced back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back.

"Sir, you're in a mess." Wang Zhi, who had been standing in the corner, suddenly said.

"Hmm?" Liu Xiu didn't understand for a moment. After a while, he nodded embarrassedly: "To be honest, I only now know how heavy the burden on my shoulders is. Once my decision is wrong, it is likely to ruin the lives of thousands of soldiers in Changshui Camp."

Wang Zhi raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I thought the adults were worried about not being able to fulfill His Majesty's trust, but I didn't expect that what he was worried about is that the lives of the soldiers of Changshui Camp are really compassionate. But I thought it was not necessary. Since I joined the army, life and death should be left alone. Although I am not in military affairs, I have heard that the more I am afraid of death, the more likely I can make a contribution."

Liu Xiu shook his head: "That's right, but after all, these live lives, one person may be a broken family. How can I remain indifferent?"

Wang Zhi raised his eyebrows: "It is rare for an adult to have this kind of kindness, but since an adult is a general, he cannot have the kindness of a woman. Laojun said that the great way is abolished and there is benevolence and righteousness. A true saint is unkind, and it is the same as the real way of heaven is unkind."

Liu Xiu's heart moved, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, but he couldn't catch it for a while. He stood there in a daze, tilting his head, as if he was looking at Wang Zhi, but in fact his mind was not on Wang Zhi at all. He didn't even pay attention to what Wang Zhi was saying or whether he was talking.

Until Li Yifeng interrupted his thoughts: "Sir, there is someone who wants to see you."

"Who?" Liu Xiu was interrupted by him and was a little unhappy for a moment.

"He refused to say that he just wanted me to hand over this to the adults, saying that he would definitely meet him when he saw this."

Liu Xiu took a bamboo piece handed over by Li Yifeng, glanced at him and immediately became excited: "Please come in."

Li Yifeng turned around and walked in quickly with an ordinary middle-aged man. The man was wearing thick clothes and covered in a bitter cold air. His legs were tied with leather ropes and his feet were covered with snow mud. It seemed that he had walked a long way.

He stood in the tent, motionless. Liu Xiu waved his hand and signaled Li Yifeng and Wang Zhi to go out. Wang Zhi glanced at the man in surprise, and without saying anything, he turned around and went out.

The man reached out and touched his hair for a while, took out a small black paper roll, and handed it to Liu Xiu with both hands: "Sir, this is the news from Master Xi."

Liu Xiu took it in his hand and did not open it immediately, but said solemnly: "Thank you!"

The man smiled faintly, gave a gift, and turned around and went out. Liu Xiu slowly opened the paper roll, glanced at it, and his eyes narrowed. He curled his lips, showed a disdainful smile, and threw the note into the fire pit. Huo Zhengwang in the fire pit suddenly licked the note, and the note quickly burned to ashes. Liu Xiu raised his hand and the ashes flew away everywhere.

Lu Bu ran on the snowy field, with more than a thousand people behind him. With his reputation among horse thieves and the brand new military uniforms given to him by Liu Xiu, he had just walked out of the frontier and recruited more than 1,200 horse thieves. Of course, there were also those who were ignorant, but they had just vomited a word and were in a bad mood and drove their horses and slapped them cleanly. Then Cheng Lian, Wei Xu and others rushed forward with their personal guards, killing the horse thieves who dared to reject him, Lu Fengxian's kindness.

It was cold and the ground was freezing, which made it easier to preserve the heads. With the heads of the horse thief leaders helping to speak, the recruitment missions later went very smoothly. Almost all the horse thieves within two or three hundred miles from Jiuyuan to Shuofang were incorporated by Lu Bu.

When Lu Buyu thought of what Liu Xiu said, he finally felt relieved after asking for many days.

"Fengxian, do you think sir would really let you be Sima?" Cheng Lian rushed up and ran side by side with Lu Bu.

"If he dares to break his promise, I will kill him with one spear." Lu Bu said gritting his teeth.

"Hahaha..." Wei Xu laughed and said, "Fengxian, do you think the lord is a horse thief, and you can pick it up with a spear?"

Lu Bu's face suddenly became mute. Wei Xu wanted to say something else, Cheng Lian shouted: "Xuzi!" Wei Xu then noticed Lu Bu's face, shrank his neck, and swallowed the words behind him.

"Lianzi, you said... can't I really beat Lord Liu?" Lu Bu was silent for a long time and suddenly asked, "What does what he said mean?"

Cheng Lian touched his head and said with a confused look on his face: "I don't understand either. Their scholars' minds are the same as those of women's belts. Sometimes they can be untied as soon as they are untied, and sometimes they are twisted and can't be untied."

"And, it's your promising prospect." Lu Bu spitted on him, and while rising and falling as the horse galloped, he said to himself: "I have been thinking about that for the past two days. It's so frustrating. This is the first time I'm so grown up to meet such a sinister person. He actually used a trick to attack me with his halberd tail."

Wei Xu curled his lips and disagreed.

If you lose, you lose. It’s a bit unreasonable to say that people use evil moves. If you go to the battlefield, you can use whatever moves are easy to use. There are no evil moves or no evil moves.

When Lu Bu saw Wei Xu's expression, he opened his mouth, but was embarrassed to say it. He himself felt that this reason could not be said. Cheng Lian pulled the war horse hard and suddenly said, "I thought of something in Fengguang, I don't know if it's right?"

"Tell me."

"I think it's not an exaggeration to say that Lord Liu is insidious. You think, you compete with him for a temporary purpose and you have no preparation at all, but he is different. He is asking your mother to come and testify again, and he also made so many formations. Not to mention anything else, I was a little panicked at that time when the thousand people stood there. Didn't you panic at that time?"

Lu Bu frowned and did not accept Cheng Lian's words. Cheng Lian didn't care. He continued to say to himself: "If you want me to see, he is just ready to go to the competition. Compared with the number of people, he is one hundred times that of us. He shouted, "Compare weapons. The halberd in his hand is definitely not a common weapon in the army. Compared with war horses, how can you compare with his fire-like war horse? I dare say that his horse is one in a thousand even on the grassland."

Lu Bu nodded and said with some fascination: "That's indeed a good horse. Starting together, that horse is much faster than mine, otherwise I wouldn't have suffered such a big loss." He suddenly understood, "That's what he said?"

"What does he mean? As long as he keeps his word and lets you be Sima, we are all military marquis, then that's all." Cheng Lian touched his mind for a while, and felt a headache. He added a whip and laughed: "I think that Youzhouer is pretty good. Even if his martial arts skills are not as good as you, he will not be much worse. It will be very satisfying to follow him to fight."!!!
