Four hundred and sixtieth IX clues
Liu He was slightly surprised that it was really commendable for a woman to be so tolerant of the man who just tried to insult him.
"Miss Wen Ji is generous and kind-hearted, and I admire her. However, the state has national laws and military disciplines, so the girl doesn't have to worry about it. Now that the battle has been won, we will rest for one night with the Huns camp and meet up tomorrow morning. I will send someone to escort the girl and the corpse of the husband first, and return to Luoyang. After seeing Ling Zun, Ling Zun will accompany him to explain the matter to Wei. I will also submit a letter to the emperor and posthumously enthrone the husband."
After Liu He said this, Cai Yan didn't say anything more.
Liu He looked at her expression, then looked into the distance.
"The girl is kind-hearted, and Liu admires and is grateful. The general's name is Wang Han, whose courtesy name is Changheng. He was a clan brother of a trusted soldier under his command when He was the magistrate of Langdiao County. He suffered from childhood and left sequelae after he became sick. Later, I finally sent someone to find him and brought him to the army, and he caught up with the Yellow Turban Army to attack. Before he could enjoy his happiness, he went to the camp of the thief army, causing chaos in the thief army, and we could take advantage of the situation to defeat him."
"After that, he followed me to fight in the east for six years, and I don't know how much injuries he suffered, his brother died in battle under the Xianbei-speaking Huns coalition of Shuofang County. If you want to punish him, the person who is the most unbearable in the world is Liu. However, Liu is very strict in his army and must not be abolished."
Cai Yan looked a little moved and saluted respectfully at Liu He.
"I heard for a long time that the general was strict in his military management and did not avoid relatives. Today, when the young woman saw him, she realized that this was true."
"The girl is too good. The war here has been over. Our army will take advantage of the Huns camp to rest for a night and return to Shangjun early tomorrow morning. At that time, I will send someone to send the girl back to Luoyang to meet Lingzun first."
"Thank you, General..."
Liu He looked up at the starry sky.
"Since the army of Zuo Xianwang encountered it here, there was nothing wrong with Gao Shun. The Qiang people were semi-grass and half-cultivated, not like the Xianbei Xiongnu, who completely lived in water and grass. What's more, with Ma Teng's assistance, he lived in Xiliang for a long time and had been dealing with the Qiang people for decades. I thought it would be fine if he had the fourth brother. I just didn't know how the battle was going on with Yun Chang. With Yun Chang's always doing this, Zhang Liao, Zhou Yuan, Qin Chu, Yan Quan and others would divide their troops to search for the whereabouts of Kebineng's troops. Among these people, Zhang Liao was the youngest, but the most brave. I hope he could perform and live up to the name of "Just the Child in Jiangdong's Night Crying."
Zhang Liao, who was far away on the grassland somewhere northeast of Yanmen County, suddenly sneeze three times in a row.
"Did General Zhang catch a cold? The wind on the grassland is strong, you have to take care of yourself. Whether our attack will be successful this time depends on you."
A soldier took a pot of hot water from the fire and handed it to Zhang Liao.
"Brother Lao is worried. I, Zhang Liao, are in good health. I think it's because my new wife is worried about me, so she sneezes."
After entering Luoyang, Zhang Liao trained troops with Guan Yu and patrolled everywhere. He happened to meet a woman washing clothes by the stream. After ten minutes of his thoughts, he reported to Guan Yu and Liu He and then went to propose marriage.
The woman was the daughter of an ordinary local family. She was sixteen years old at that time. Although her family was not poor, she was only slightly better than Liu He's family when she was a child. Zhang Liao was already the general of Yamen and the deputy general of Guan Yu. In terms of his status in the army, compared with Qian Ning, the commander of Guan Yu's personal guard camp, he was half a level higher than Zhou Yuan and others.
When he came to propose marriage, the family was very happy. Not to mention his wife, even if he was a concubine, he had accumulated virtue from his ancestors. Their marriage was also held by Liu He himself, which made the people of the whole county envious.
Now the two have been married for about four months, and it was the time when they were newlyweds. After he said this, the soldiers around him began to tease him. Zhang Liao was shy and quickly changed the subject.
"Okay, don't laugh anymore. Now it's eight days since the ten-day period that General Guan said, and now we have never seen the shadow of Ke Bineng. We are now nearly 200 miles away from Pingcheng County, and it will take a day to rush back. If we can't find it tomorrow, we can only go back empty-handed."
Everyone's faces became solemn.
"Oh, I hope that those brothers will gain something when they go out to find clues this time."
Just as the few people were thinking about this, suddenly a sound of horse hooves came from a distance.
Several soldiers looked up from afar, and as the man got closer, they recognized the person.
"It's Yan Laoliu who is back..."
Everyone surrounded them.
"How is it? Can you find the main force of that guy Kebineng?"
Everyone, including Zhang Liao, asked anxiously.
Unexpectedly, Yan Laoliu shook his head. The hope that everyone had just raised was instantly lost again.
Just as everyone looked lonely and walked back and sat down again with heavy steps, Yan Laoliu said another sentence.
"But I found a group of Xianbei people..."
Before he could finish his words, the soldiers who were walking back surrounded him again in almost a blink of an eye.
"Xianbei people? Where are they? How many people are there? Could it be the soldiers of that guy Kebineng?"
Zhang Liao also looked at him with anticipation.
Yan Laoliu said, "They are only a hundred people. They look dusty and thin, and they should be just ordinary Xianbei people. They are about seventeen or eighteen miles northeast of this place. I wanted to go up and ask, but when I think I don't know how to speak Xianbei, I will come back to report to you, General Zhang."
"It turns out that it's just the Xianbei people..."
The soldiers sighed and looked disappointed.
However, Zhang Liao held his chin and began to think.
"We have searched this place for more than ten miles in radius. We have never seen any Xianbei people during the day. In this way, they should have arrived here by the way."
Yan Laoliu nodded repeatedly: "That's right, right. When I saw them, they were setting up tents on the spot. It seemed like they were going to camp for a night of rest. I didn't know where to go. However, after I checked the footprints on the grassland, I could see that they were coming from the east."
Zhang Liao frowned slightly, touching his beard that was not a farmer.
"Now the season is when grass grows and birds fly and all things are revived. Look, we are all over the grassland, and it is probably the time when they grazed animals and let those animals reproduce. Why bother busy rushing all day and delaying good opportunities in vain?"
Everyone around them also began to meditate.
"Yes, why? There's no reason."
"General Zhang, what do you think they want to do?"
Zhang Liao seemed to suddenly think of something and slapped his hands.
"Ah, I get it!"
The soldiers around came over one after another.
"God talk, General."
Zhang Liao said: "My lord has said many times that these Xianbei and Xiongnu are of very strict ranks. The lower class people live more miserable than our great men, while those nobles acted as mighty and fought and looted everywhere. Therefore, after the lord defeated the two tribes, he established Hu City in Bingzhou, and hundreds of thousands of Hu people came to naturalize and surrender, because they believed that under the rule of our great men, their lives would be better than before."
"Well, what General Zhang said makes sense. My lord has used this to educate us a lot in the past."
Many soldiers agreed.
"That's it. I think this group of Xianbei people must be like this. They came from the east, and 80% of them were the people of the Xianbei tribe under Kebineng. Now they want to escape from Kebineng's rule, or surrender to our great man, or surrender to the other three Xianbei leaders."
"Ah, I understand. General Zhang means that Kebi Neng's troops must be on the east side of us at this moment?"
"Yes, it must be so!"
Zhang Liao suddenly stuffed the half-eat Hu cake into his mouth in one bite, and then gave it a few "gudonggudong" drinks of water.
"Brothers, victory, defeat, honor and disgrace are all here tonight. As long as you find Ke Bineng, you will be able to glorify your ancestors and win over your wife and sons. You can follow me to try it!"
"I wish to fight with General Zhang!"
"Okay! Put both the man and the horse in armor, find Ke Bineng, and fight for life and death!"
