Chapter 34 Lobbying Wuhuan

After last night's incident, Gongsun Linglong ran away without a trace and never appeared in front of He Bai again. He Bai kept savoring Gongsun Linglong's flawless body along the way, and his heart couldn't help but feel relieved. For several days, He Bai's heart was extremely excited.

He Bai originally went to save Gongsun Zan, because Liu Yu had such an intention, so he was not easy to refuse; second, Gongsun Yue had repeatedly defended himself, and he would not return this situation; third, he had been in Youzhou too much time, and was afraid that Gongsun Zan, the nemesis of the northern barbarians, would die early because of his own reasons, so he had to save him. Now it seems that it is not a hard job to save Gongsun Zan, and there are many places.

From the second day, the number of bones along the way gradually increased, and at most, there were about 5,000 corpses. It seems that Zhang Ju and Qiu Liju withdrew their troops along the way, and they suffered heavy casualties under Gongsun Zan's fierce pursuit. If it weren't for the Wuhuan Nanlou of Shanggu, the number of defeated men of these two people might have been dealt with by Gongsun Zan's 3,000 people.

In this battle, Gongsun Zan was promoted from the position of General Fenwu and Yihou in Qianshi's battle, thus shaking Hebei. It was not without reason that he was the governor of most elite troops in Youzhou.

It’s a pity that Gongsun Zan seemed to have been born a little late, and won consecutive victories in foreign wars, but failed repeatedly in domestic hegemony. If he lived in the era of Emperor Wu of Han, Gongsun Zan might have been Wei Qing again, Huo Qubing.

He Bai's army was in charge for several days, and the troops were almost in chaos due to the unfamiliar journey and could not find the water source. Fortunately, He Bai, the commander of the army, was a soldier who had survived training. Under various methods, he boiled the sea and distilled it, digging holes to condense the dew, and finally solved the drinking water problem temporarily. Eight days later, he finally arrived near Yangle County, western Liaoning.

I saw that there were a number of Hu horses in Yangle County. Seeing that He Bai's army could not hide their whereabouts, they exposed themselves openly and marched with the white flag. Gongsun Linglong, who had been hiding for a long time, finally showed up. He ran out angrily and came to see He Bai and asked, "Why are you so careless and exposed your whereabouts? If we are also trapped by the Hu Captains, how should we save my eldest brother?"

He Bai rolled his eyes and said, "How can I do it, I have my own reasons. Since you have been hiding from me these days, I don't need to explain it to you clearly. Go and go."

When Gongsun Linglong heard this, she was both resentful and wronged. Because of He Bai's wonderful method of obtaining water, she had a good impression of He Bai, and she immediately overturned her favor. Even if she would marry He Bai as promised in the future, she would definitely be an unintentional walking corpse.

Not long after it was exposed, a Hu cavalry with more than 2,000 people came towards him. When He Bai's army was fighting a white flag, it seemed that there was no intention of fighting, so he sent someone to negotiate and see what He Bai's army was here for?

When He Bai learned that the visitor was Su Puyan, the cousin of Qiu Liju, he immediately asked Su Puyan to come to the front of the formation for a while. Su Puyan looked at the Han general who claimed to be a relative in front of him in confusion and asked, "Who are you? Who are I with you?"

He Bai bowed and smiled, "My name is He Bai. I am the son-in-law of Qiu Liju's father-in-law. You are the cousin of your father-in-law, so you are naturally close to me."

Su Puyan was stunned, then turned and sneered, "So you are He Bai? Humph, I think my uncle Qiu Liju values ​​you so much, and marry Anova, the most beautiful flower of my Wuhuan clan, to you. He didn't want you to abandon Anova and betrayed my uncle. You Han people are really the most unreliable thing. He Bai, you dare to come here, don't leave, stay." As he said that, he pulled out his knife and prepared to fight.

He Bai waved his hand and shouted: "Who said I betrayed my father-in-law? It was just because my father-in-law invaded the Han area. As a Han person, I couldn't bear it and returned to the Han area to seek a solution to the two sides. Now that I have found a solution, I naturally came to tell my father-in-law about the results of this trip."

Su Pu hesitated and asked: "What method? What results?"

He Bai smiled and said, "My father-in-law's wish is to unite the Wuhuan clan and be self-reliant. Then it is to defeat the Xianbei clan and ask him to submit to the Wuhuan clan. As a son-in-law, I naturally remember it in my heart. After nearly two months of wandering and persuasion, the uncle of the Emperor of Han, the new Youzhou governor Liu Yu, finally agreed to submit the report to the Emperor of Han, and appointed his father-in-law as the Great Shanyu of the Wuhuan clan. He also opened up several additional vertebrae to increase commercial exchanges with the Wuhuan clan."

Su Puyan gasped, but he didn't expect that Qiu Liju's ambition was so great, and Qiu Liju didn't seem to have spoken about this ambition to Su Puyan. Su Puyan couldn't help but hesitate to decide whether to tell Qiu Liju this news.

He Bai guessed Su Puyan's idea. If Qiu Liju wanted to claim to be the Wuhuan Shanyu, he would probably have a little less power and reputation based on his alliance with Tadun. But with the support of the Han Dynasty, Qiu Liju, the great Shanyu of the Wuhuan clan, would have been stable. From a united cousin and nephew to a monarch and minister, Su Puyan's heart would be difficult to accept for a while.

He Bai then took the heat and said, "I know that the prestige of my father-in-law alone is not enough to intimidate the Wuhuan tribes. So when he persuaded the Han court, he hoped that he could enthrone the Three Kings again in the Wuhuan tribe, and use Su Puyan, you, Wuyan, and Nanlou as the auxiliary kings to assist the daily activities of the Da Shanyu. The auxiliary kings and the Shanyu are not considered monarchs and ministers, but only subordinates. The Three Kings tribes also have the power to elect the next Wuhuan Shanyu..."

The more Su Puyan heard, the more interested he became. When he saw He Bai not talking, he became anxious and urged him repeatedly. He Bai smiled and said, "This is a major event of the Wuhuan clan. How can he tell it here? Can't we find a quiet and hidden place to discuss it?"

Su Puyan slapped his head repeatedly and smiled, "Yes, yes, yes, I'm so stupid. This is not a place to discuss major issues. Brother He Bai, please follow me."

As he said that, he went up to ride with He Bai with his arms to show his closeness. He ordered his confidants who had been following him to go to the Wuhuan camp and quietly informed Qiu Liju to know.

Along the way, Su Puyan praised He Bai's good luck, but he couldn't speak a few good words back and forth. It would be great for the Wuhuan people to speak Chinese normally. They also wanted to flatter themselves in Chinese, but they were too embarrassed.

He Bai learned from Su Puyan that Anova had also been taken back by Qiu Liju, and said that after the war ended, he would remarry him to Tadun. He Bai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was just right to come back at this time.

After traveling for more than ten miles, thousands of Han rebels rushed over in a hurry. A general shouted: "Master Su Puyan, where is the Han army? Our army is here to help."

After Su Puyan apologized to He Bai, he went out and shouted: "It's not the Han army, but my uncle Qiu Liju's son-in-law is back."

After hearing this, the rebel general looked suspiciously at the two horses in front of him. He saw that the Wuhuan cavalry was extremely enthusiastic about the Han cavalry, but the Han cavalry was always vigilant and confused. However, since Su Puyan said that it was Qiu Liju's son-in-law who had returned, his rebel emperor Zhang Ju would definitely know something. So he said goodbye to Su Puyan, and turned around and left.

After seeing the rebels who were riding a horse, He Bai whispered to Su Puyan: "The request of the uncle Liu of Youzhou's governor, is to kill Zhang Ju first to show his sincerity."

Su Puyan patted his chest and shouted: "Don't worry, this matter is for me."

Ten miles away from the Wuhuan camp, Qiu Liju was excitedly leading the hundred cavalry guards to greet He Bai's army. When he saw He Bai, he shouted cordially: "Son-in-law, you have suffered from my husband and daughter. I thought you really abandoned Anova, but I didn't expect you to go back to the Han area to help me run around this matter. You left without saying a word, but I made me misunderstood it."

He Bai hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "He Bai had said a long time ago that he was willing to help his father-in-law unify the Wuhuan, attack the Xianbei in the north, and help his father-in-law conquer the desert. But his father-in-law didn't believe it. Whether this happened or not was difficult to say earlier, so He Bai did not dare to lie to you. Since it was about to be done, He Bai naturally dared to return to report the good news with confidence."

Qiu Liju hurriedly pulled He Bai to the other side and said, "There are people in the camp who are mixed with their tongues. Come on, you, my husband and son-in-law and you, my husband and son-in-law, go there for a walk. Su Puyan, if you want to hear it, come together."

He Bai and the other two went to the mountains in the north together. Seeing that they were far away from others, Qiu Liju asked, "He Bai, honestly, is this matter true or false?"

He Bai gave Qiu Liju a blank look and said, "If there were no Anova, this matter would be false. But with Anova, this matter would be true."

Qiu Liju pointed at He Bai and laughed, saying, "It seems that I really have a good daughter. Hurry up, tell me, how to handle this matter?"

It turned out that when He Bai came, he proposed to Liu Yu, who was interested in using Huairou strategy to govern and appease the Wuhuan clan. The Wuhuan clan had a total population of more than 20,000, and was divided into more than 20 tribes, among which Qiu Liju had the strongest.

However, although Qiu Liju is strong, only more than 3,000 fallen people. In addition, Tadun, Su Puyan, Nanlou and Wuyan, who are close to him, occupy eight thousand fallen people and have the power to unify the Wuhuan. Since this is the case, why not really issue an order to enthrone Qiu Liju as the Wuhuan Shanyu?

Anyway, Qiu Liju's power is not absolutely strong, and it is difficult to make a word in the unified Wuhuan tribe, and it will inevitably strongly need the support of the Han Dynasty. For this support, the unified Wuhuan people have no heads and are afraid that they will not be easily betrayed again. Liu Yu deeply obeyed He Bai's words, which led to He Bai's trip. It is only a good idea to Qiu Liju.
