Chapter 53

The king's tent in the Xianbei camp.

Budugen sat leaning on the wide long chair covered with wolf fur, Kuiwu's face was exhausted, and his pupils were as red as rabbits were bloodshot.

He stayed up all night and thought a lot.Since when did the Xianbei people, who have always been invincible, began to suffer repeated setbacks. 13 children traveled, and now less than half are left.

Is going south really wrong?
Budugen propped his arm on the seat, thought about his head with one hand, and rubbed the acupuncture points on both sides fiercely. He thought that he could easily take down Yanmen Pass with the siege equipment, but he would be killed by the Han people again and again. Retire.

Bu Dugen couldn't figure out why Han people who had always been timid suddenly became so brave and fearless.

Especially the young man rushing to the battle who appeared at dusk yesterday, his force was extremely terrifying. If Man He'er was not by his side, he might have died long ago.

One person can break through the cavalry formed by thousands of soldiers!

how...

Brave, sturdy, or invincible?

Budugen found that he couldn't find a suitable word to accurately describe the young man holding the halberd, and he felt a sense of frustration deep in his heart that he had never felt before.Even if he was set up in an ambush back then and was almost cornered, he had never felt like this before.

Budugen sighed weakly, the voice was so small that only he could hear it, if such a fierce general was under his tent, that would be great.

The curtain was lifted, and there were only a few people who could freely enter and exit the king's tent, which could be counted on one hand.

The old man wearing sheepskin fur all the year round walked in front of Bu Dugen, his eyelids under the black felt hat were wrinkled, covering his eyes with only a gap, and he said kindly: "Your Majesty, it's time to go!" gone."

Bu Dugen glanced at this wise old man in the hearts of the Xianbei people, but he didn't get up, his eyes were full of confusion, as if he was asking Fu Tuhe, and he seemed to be asking himself: "For a Yanmen Pass, how can you die in battle?" Erlang is nearly [-], is it worth it?"

Conquering the Yanmen Pass and going southward, and directly taking the Han Dynasty for [-] miles of rivers and mountains, is Futuhe's lifelong dream.

Now listening to Budugen's tone, it seems that he wants to back down. How can Fu Tuhe ruin his hard work for so many years, so he stepped forward to persuade: "Your Majesty, you should understand that war is like this. There are people, and there are people." Death. I, Xianbei, gallop across the grasslands across the northern part of the Great Wall, but I am not good at attacking the city. Such a large casualty is inevitable. Once I break through the Yanmen pass, there will be no pass to stop me in the south, and the Han people will be at their fingertips."

Budugen became silent, and he understood what Fu Tuhe said. It was not his dream to knock down the pass and go south, but in the battle of Yanmen Pass alone, he lost more than 6 soldiers. If there is a day when the Han people will be taken down At that time, there will be a few people left by his side.

Budugen didn't speak, Futuhe said again: "How can the Han people enjoy the fertile land, sit on a lot of gold, salt and iron, and rich resources, while my Xianbei people will live in the grassland for generations? , barren and desolate?"

"So, for the sake of the future of the Xianbei people, and for the sake of those dead soldiers, please take down Yanmen Pass, please!" Fu Tuhe took off his felt hat, bowed heavily to Bu Dugen bow.

When he saw the old man's gray hair, Bu Dugen stood up from the seat and helped the old man up. The confusion in his eyes faded away, and he regained a new look.Bu Dugen nodded towards Fu Tuhe, and said with great confidence in his tone, "I understand."

"Report~"

A loud and long notification sounded outside the tent.

Bu Dugen straightened his clothes a little bit, maintaining the majesty that a king should have, and said in a deep voice, "Come in."

Hearing Budugen's call, the spy outside the tent immediately got into the station, knelt down on one knee and reported: "My lord, just now I went to spy on the enemy situation at Yanmen Pass, but found that all the flags of the Han people on the top of the city It’s gone, the city gate is wide open and there’s no defenders. I don’t know why, so I came back to report to the king.”

After Bu Dugen heard the news, his first reaction was: Could it be that the Han Chinese have withdrawn their troops?
However, Bu Dugen quickly denied this naive idea. Zhang Zhongnai was a famous frontier general with a stubborn temperament, and it was absolutely impossible for him to evacuate so easily.

Then what does he mean by this?
Budugen thought about countless possibilities in his mind, but still couldn't find the answer he wanted.

As a wise man, Fu Tuhe was also a little unpredictable for a while, if Zhang Zhong let them into the city on purpose, let alone him, even a three-year-old child would not believe it.

Fu Tuhe put the felt hat back on, and said to Bu Dugen, "Your Majesty, if something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Why don't I accompany you to have a look."

Bu Dugen nodded, and felt that what Fu Tuhe said was very reasonable. Rather than thinking about it slowly here, it is better to go and have a look in person.

So he ordered to order all the soldiers and horses, and marched into Yanmen Pass again.

In less than an hour, the [-] Xianbei army arrived outside Yanmen Pass, and stopped half a mile away from Yanmen Pass.

As reported by the rebuke dish, Yanmen Pass did not see a defender on the top of the city, nor a Han Chinese flag. Through the collapsed city gate, a large amount of flying dust could be vaguely seen in the pass.

Could it be that there is really an ambush in this?

Bu Dugen stroked his thick braided beard, and began to think with low brows.

At this time, two figures appeared on the top of the wall, an old man in a brocade robe, and a tall young man in clean clothes.

Neither of them were wearing military uniforms, but Bu Dugen recognized them at a glance, General Zhang Zhong of Zhenbei, and the unknown young general who broke through the formation alone yesterday afternoon.

Zhang Zhong and Lu Bu didn't seem to pay attention to the tens of thousands of Xianbei soldiers who were imprisoned. They walked leisurely to a desk that had already been set up, and knelt down face to face.

There is a jug of wine, a plate of meat, and several plates of cooked vegetables that are still warm on the desk.

Zhang Zhong and Lv Bu first greeted each other politely, then picked up the chopsticks, picked up the small dishes on the plate, and put them in their mouths under the eyes of everyone, took a sip of the fine wine, and a smile appeared on their faces. The vice president is enjoying the expression of eating.

The [-] Xianbei soldiers outside the pass are heartbroken at this moment, these two guys actually started eating and drinking, and now they are fighting, hey, please respect the next occasion, please!
Bu Dugen also had no idea, looked at Zhang Zhong and Lu Bu, who were no one else around, and fell into deep thought. They must not be crazy, so what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd!

On the tower, Lu Bu picked Zhang Yi's chopsticks meat, his smile doubled, but he blamed himself: "It's really wrong for you to put yourself in danger, General."

Now there are only more than 1000 soldiers left at Yanmen Pass, and they will definitely not be able to defend it. It is better to have a psychological game with the Xianbei people.

For this reason, Lu Bu specially invited the old general to sing the song "Empty City", and with Zhang Zhong personally leading the battle, the credibility has naturally increased a lot.

Lu Bu's bet was that Bu Dugen would not dare to enter the city.

Not only that, Lu Bu also ordered dozens of riders to go in various directions in the county, spreading news along the way, falsely claiming that Zhang Zhong died in Yanmen Pass, leaving only the fourth son of the Yan family still defending.Zhang Yi, who is lurking, will definitely come to Yanmen Pass as soon as he hears the news. Not only can he reap the benefits, but he can also save Yan Xin's life so that he can tie the Yan family together. Such a good thing that kills two birds with one stone, Zhang Yi Yi definitely won't miss it.

For Zhang Zhong, as long as he can keep Yanmen Pass and prevent Xianbei people from going south, it is nothing to be involved in danger.

Zhang Zhong also had a smile on his face, although he had not been in contact with Lu Bu for a long time, he had extra trust in Lu Bu, and he was very optimistic about this young man, and asked softly, "Feng Xian, are you also proficient in the art of war? "

The smile on Lu Bu's face remained undiminished, he held up the wine bottle to pay respects to the old general, and while covering the wine bottle with his hand, he said: "I have only read two ancient books, and I dare not use an ax in front of the general."

The smile on Zhang Zhong's face was even wider, the wine bottle in his hand touched Lu Bu's, and he said with a smile: "Feng Xian, you are too self-effacing, you are definitely not someone with great courage, and you definitely dare not use it."

Lu Bu shook his head slightly, picked up the jug and poured another glass for the old general, "General, you're admiring me. I only hope that there will be one or two smart people among the Xianbei people. Otherwise, this empty city strategy will be useless." gone."

Zhang Zhong is deeply convinced of this. The empty city plan uses people's psychological contradictions. The smarter the person, the easier it is to fall into it.

The Xianbei people were separated by half a mile outside the customs, so naturally they couldn't hear the content of the conversation between the two. They only saw the smiles on the faces of the two from the beginning, and now, they don't know the truth. .

Budugen's brows were tightly wrinkled, almost forming a straight line.Ever since the Xianbei army arrived at Yanmen Pass, Zhang Zhong had never sent a single unit out of the pass to attack the camp. It can be seen that he was cautious in using troops, even if he defended the city every time, he never used a dangerous move.

When Zhang Zhong used his troops, what he wanted was the word "stability".

So this time, Bu Dugen believes that there will be no exception.

At this moment, Lu Bu got up and looked at Budugen in the distance, and invited loudly: "I heard that the king of Bei has always been arrogant, why don't you come up and have a drink?"

Lu Bu's voice was so loud that even the soldiers at the rear of the Xianbei army heard everything verbatim.

Bu Dugen's complexion changed drastically, and it was as dark as the bottom of a pot in an instant. Lu Bu's seemingly gracious "invitation" undoubtedly posed a huge problem for him.When it comes to drinking alone, Budugen is naturally not afraid, but Lu Bu's words are clearly trying to lure him into the city.

If you don't go, you may be ridiculed and criticized in the future; if you go, you will fall into Lu Bu's arms again.

To go, or not to go?

Bu Dugen fell into a dilemma for a while.

And at a place not far from the Yanmenguan tower, Cao Xing, who heard Lu Bu's words, exclaimed in a low voice: "Is the boss crazy? He even invited the Xianbei people to enter the city. Once they come in, we will all ask for help." What a disaster!"

The faces of the people around them were also not very good-looking, obviously they did not understand why Lu Bu would take the initiative to invite Bu Dugen into the city.If it was said that Lu Bu took the initiative to rebel, they would not believe it even if they were killed.

"There is a saying in the art of war that 'the false is the real, the real is the false, the soldier is impermanent, showing weakness and deceiving the strong!' Sometimes, the more you show weakness to others, the more they will not believe it. Lu Fengxian is deliberately deceiving him. Yan Xin explained to everyone with a smile on his face, recalling Lu Bu's expression and movements last night, the corners of his mouth were slanted, as if he had found a rare treasure, and said: "Interesting, interesting."

The actions of Bu Dugen outside the pass exceeded the expectations of Lu Bu and others.

I saw Budugen riding forward on his horse, and the [-] soldiers behind him followed slowly. The horseshoes stepped on the ground like thunder.

The old general was startled, and made a gesture to get up.

Lu Bu clasped the old general's wrist with his right hand, his face remained unchanged, but murderous intent was already present in his heart, he picked up the jug with his left hand to refill the old general's wine, the jug overflowed and wet the entire desk.

Cao Xing and the others swallowed their parched throats with difficulty, and tightly held the weapons in their hands.

When he walked a hundred meters outside the pass, Budugen reined in the horse rope without warning. He had been secretly watching Lu Bu's expression changes just now, but found that not only was there no panic or fear on Lu Bu's face, there was even a trace of fear hidden on Lu Bu's face. happy,
It seems that there is indeed an ambush in the pass!
Bu Dugen had already made up his mind at this time, and sneered in his heart at the same time: I really think that the king is a three-year-old child, so easy to deceive?
After Bu Dugen stopped walking, he asked Lu Bu loudly: "Shut up the young general, do you dare to report your name?"

Lu Bu deliberately showed a bit of disappointment on his face, and replied loudly: "Wuyuan Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian is also!"

Seeing Lu Bu's inadvertent disappointment, Bu Dugen felt even more proud. I have been marching and fighting for so many years, how could I not see through your little trick.

When he was happy, Bu Dugen loved Lu Bu again, so he said in front of everyone: "Your bravery is no less than that of General Li Guang when Emperor Wu was in power. How about belonging to this king?"

"Lü Bu is just a man, so he can't be called a 'flying general'. Someone sincerely invited King Bei to go to the city for a drink. Could it be that the majestic King Xianbei wouldn't dare?" Taking the opportunity to drive a wedge between Lu Bu and Zhang Zhong, Lu Bu simply paid him back in public.

Just as Bu Dugen was about to speak, Fu Tuhe grabbed his arm and shook his head slightly.

At first, Fu Tuhe thought it was nothing, but when he thought about it carefully, why did a group of soldiers suddenly appear to rescue when Yanmen Pass was alive and dead again and again, and every time it was just so timely, it was just like a coincidence It was deliberately arranged.

Thinking about it now, I was really careless at the beginning.There are 3 soldiers in Bingzhou. Excluding those killed and captured, there should be at least 2 troops.But the most killed here is no more than [-] people, so where are the other [-] people?With Zhang Zhong's character, it is impossible not to deploy troops to defend. It is certain that the waiters are waiting in ambush in the pass, waiting for them to enter the pass, so that they can be wiped out in one fell swoop.

Futuhe Xisi was terrified, it seemed that he still underestimated the Han people.

Even without Fu Tuhe's reminder, Bu Dugen would not enter the pass rashly. He believed that there were ambushes hidden in the pass.

Facing Lu Bu's sarcasm, Bu Dugen could only suppress the anger in his heart, and said: "The king has been ill for the past few days and can't drink alcohol. Next time, he will definitely take you to my royal court for a drink!"

After finishing speaking, Bu Dugen turned his horse's head and led the [-] troops to retreat back from Yanmen Pass in a desperate manner.

Looking at the Xianbei army walking away, the old general finally showed a real gratified smile on his face, touched his sweaty back, and stood up with Lu Bu's support. The old man still has lingering fears, "Just now Bu Dugen When I was moving forward, the old man almost didn't hold back, but fortunately, Feng Xian, you caught me in time."

Lu Bu took several deep breaths in a row, the feeling that his life was in other people's hands and he still had to worry about it was really uncomfortable.

The next day, Lu Bu was the only one left drinking on the tower.

On the evening of the third day, a force of more than [-] people finally arrived at the city south of Yanmen Pass.
