I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 67 The Hun Prince
Outside the city, in the camp of the Xiongnu Central Army, the generals surrounded a man with a face full of flesh and blood, who was none other than King Xiutu.At this time, everyone looked at him, waiting for the king to issue the final attack order.

Looking at the expectant eyes of everyone, King Xiutu did not respond immediately, but asked a middle-aged man who looked like a scribe: "Sir, according to you, can our army attack the city immediately and enter Taiyuan County?" ?”

The generals looked suspiciously at the sound, and there was a white-clothed scholar with disheveled hair and a very pale complexion sitting at the corner of the big tent.Everyone is even more puzzled, who is this person?Why did the king ask him for advice?

This person is Qibili who escaped from the royal court of Budugen, he is very clever, and he is also very lucky.At that time, when he realized that Qianshan's army hadn't attacked in time, he already felt that something was wrong, but it was too late to tell Bu Dugen, so he had no choice but to run away secretly.

When fleeing all the way south, he was caught by the Huns and became their slave. Later, by coincidence, he entered Xiutu Hu's tribe by mistake, and was favored by King Xiutu and became his staff.

When the Xiongnu King asked himself, he didn't dare to trust himself, so he got up quickly and said respectfully: "My lord, I got the news that Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou, is in Jiexiu, and his power is weak, with less than five thousand troops. Why don't you go?" We attacked and killed him first, and when he is dead, the Bingzhou army will be leaderless, so naturally they will no longer be the king's opponent."

King Xiutu was naturally overjoyed when he heard it, and said to Qibilli: "Mr. is really a celebrity in the world. Why should I worry about my success? Haha."

"Your Majesty is absurd." Qibilli said modestly.

Immediately, King Xiutu ordered: "The army will attack the city, and after the city is broken, the city will be slaughtered for three days..."

…………

Guan Yu's army galloped all the way south after leaving Guancen Mountain, heading towards Xihe County against the clock. Along the way, they also encountered many Xiutuhu tribes, all of whom were uprooted by Guan Yu.Killed all the young and strong of the tribe, took away horses and other supplies, and burned the yurts of the barbarians, leaving only some old, weak, sick and disabled to fend for themselves.

At the same time, along the way, they kept gathering the defeated soldiers of the Southern Huns. On the way, they also met Buxugu, the youngest son of Qiang Qu Shanyu, who was going to Yanmen for help.

The Southern Xiongnu Wangting Meiji City is relatively close to Yanmen County. Li Shimin once led his generals to visit the old Shanyu, mainly hoping that the two sides can work closely together to deal with the Xianbei people.

It's just that the old Shanyu may be old and doesn't want to be troublesome, or he may be afraid that the Han Dynasty will continue to recruit his own soldiers to fight the rebellion, so he didn't agree, but agreed to send him thousands of horses.

Therefore, Guan Yu also has some impressions of Bu Xugu. This man is good at martial arts, has a high prestige among the Southern Huns, and what is even more rare is his loyalty to the great man.

Seeing that he met Guan Yu, the general under the command of Li Shimin, the prefect of Yanmen, he knew that he had met a savior, and before meeting him, he cried out in tears: "General Guan, you want to avenge the old Shanyu. Hugh Tuhu!" They are all white-eyed wolves who killed the old Shanyu and took the royal court, general, you must help us regain our homeland."

Seeing this, Guan Yu could only comfort him with kind words: "Don't worry, General Bu Xugu, this time I was ordered by my lord to conquer Xiu Tuhu. My lord has also set off to rescue Taiyuan County from the south of Yanmen Pass. I happened to meet you here, gather the remnants of the Southern Huns quickly, and avenge Lao Shanyu with me."

Hearing that Li Shimin led the army to the rescue, Bu Xugu suddenly regained his spirits and said excitedly: "Thank you General Li Gao Yi, I will set off with the general to Xihe County.

…………

Li Shimin went south from Yanmen Pass, and rushed to Jinyang all the way, and Baiqisi also sent a lot of information along the way, among them was Ding Yuan who led the army and escaped from Jiexiu, leaving Zhang Yi and five thousand recruits trapped in Jiexiu alone. Xiu Gucheng.

After Li Shimin heard the news, he was very angry. He didn't expect this person to be so shameless that he wanted to use a knife to kill people and get rid of Zhang Yi.

If this is the case, Zhang Yi is very dangerous. Could it be that he was killed by Ding Yuan in history?This also makes sense, why Ding Yuan, who was indifferent before, can quickly take over Bingzhou.

The army traveled all the way south through starry night, and finally arrived at Yangcheng, north of Jinyang. Li Shimin ordered the army to rest for the night, and continue on their way tomorrow morning.

Li Shimin hadn't received a secret report from Baiqisi for several days, and Li Shimin felt uneasy. It seemed that the situation of the Jiexiu battle was not optimistic.

…………

In Xiaoyi City, Ding Yuan was restless. He led the main force and escaped from Jiexiu, leaving Zhang Yi and others alone in the city. He was both nervous and excited.Excited that Zhang Yi can finally be eradicated this time, nervous because he is more suspected of framing Zhang Yi, which is bad for his reputation.

All the generals and school under his command also couldn't bear it. Such a withdrawal would be equivalent to sending Zhang Yi to death. Everyone really couldn't bear it.

What makes everyone even more anxious right now is that there is no danger to defend the flat river in Taiyuan County.At that time, the governor will sacrifice his life for the country, and the soldiers under his command will definitely be unstable. How should this battle be fought!

At this moment, Zhang Yang, one of Ding Yuan's subordinates, stood up and asked, "General, Taiyuan County is in danger now, how should we retreat from the enemy, please come up with an idea."

Zhang Yang is Ding Yuan's confidant, although he did not dare to accuse his own general of fleeing, but the generals of Bingzhou are responsible for defending the territory, and how to retreat the enemy is the most important thing right now.

Ding Yuan said impatiently: "Now Xiutu Hu is very powerful, our army is only tens of thousands of horses, and it is invincible. Besides, the barbarians will only rob at most, and they will not occupy the city. Wait for them If you get enough treasure, you will naturally retreat, and I am going to retreat to Jinyang and defend the strong city."

"What? Retreat to Jinyang?" Everyone was blown up.

Lu Bu, who went to Ding Yuan before, also had a look of disbelief when he heard it. In his heart, he felt that even if he couldn't beat him, he would have to fight. It would be too shameful to run away. I, Lu Bu, claim to be number one in the world. Let the heroes of the world laugh.

At the same time, he also secretly slandered, why is this Ding Yuan so cowardly, timid and afraid of getting into trouble, he doesn't seem to be a wise master, he is not as good as Li Shimin.

Immediately, he didn't care about anything else, stood up suddenly, and said angrily: "General, the barbarians burned, killed and looted, and committed numerous crimes. As soldiers of the Han Dynasty, we should guard the land for the people. How can we abandon the city and run away? Damage to the general's reputation."

Although he spoke politely, there was disappointment and disdain in his words.

Ding Yuan saw that he was the number one general under his command. Although he was very angry, he didn't want to explode on the spot. Instead, he comforted him: "Fengxian is brave and invincible in the world, so he is not afraid, but if he fights the barbarians for his life today, It can only be that the remnants of the Yellow Turbans and the villains of the Baibo Army have taken advantage of it, and they can save their useful bodies and rebuild the mountains and rivers, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds."

Lu Bu was also at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.

Because Lu's father is still alive, Lu Bu did not identify Yuan as his adoptive father.So he didn't obey Ding Yuanyan like he did in his previous life.

Moreover, he was very disdainful of Ding Yuan's behavior, and he began to care about it in his heart.
