"My Lü Family's Ancestors bless you! We Lü Family Village have given birth to such a promising young man!"
The Lü Family in their Lü Family Village is not even a branch of the branch of the Lü Clan, but there is actually a higher official than Lü Clan Ancestors Lu Buwei!
This is like smoke coming out of ancestral graves!
Lü Bu cast an approving look at Wuyuan Commandery Governor, then helped the village chief and went to burn incense with him.
"Let me come, I'll do it."
Seeing Lü Bu about to take action, the Lü Clan villager who was supporting the village chief said quickly and helped the village chief over.
Lü Bu looked at this person and felt that he looked familiar. After careful identification, he finally recognized it and said in surprise, "You... are Li Hu?"
This was a good friend of his when he was a boy. At that time, they practiced martial arts, hunted together, and participated in the county army's killing of Xiongnu. However, he later chose to leave Jiuyuan County and go out to explore, while the other party chose to stay in his hometown.
Lü Bu felt very happy when he suddenly met his old friend, and then he had many words that he wanted to say in a continuous stream, but he always felt like they were being blocked by something, whirling in his mind and unable to speak out.
When Lü Bu called out his name, Li Hu was stunned for a moment, then his eyes couldn't help but light up, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he opened his mouth, but remained silent.
In the end, his attitude finally became respectful, and he said solemnly to Lü Bu: "If you reply to Duke Wen, it is the grassroots."
Lü Bu seemed to shudder. Looking at his former friend with an awe-filled look in front of him, he felt that there seemed to be a sadly thick barrier between the two of them.
"Let's go."
Lü Bu didn't say much, sighed in his heart, and headed towards the ancestral grave surrounded by everyone.
Outside the customs Grasslands is vast and boundless.
However, it is winter now, and the heavy snow has just fallen, so as far as the eye can see it is completely white, with no end as far as the eye can see.
The Xiongnu people are nomadic people. They are centered on Royal Court, with the inner tribes guarding Royal Court, and the outer tribes guarding the inner tribes.
The tribes closer to the center were richer and more powerful, and the higher their status, the more abundant pasture resources and water resources they enjoyed.
Nowadays, the central area of Great Grassland is surrounded by tribes of various sizes, which is completely different from the original distribution pattern.
The reason is that not long ago, Ma Chao led Western Liang Iron Cavalry deep into Great Grassland and carried out brutal massacres on various tribes, which put everyone on Grasslands in danger and had to migrate in the winter to prevent the tribe from being slaughtered.
Among the Xiongnu Royal Court tribe, the largest and most luxurious one is Royal Tent.
Today, the leaders of all the major tribes gathered here, with lingering sadness on their faces.
"Great Chanyu, you must save us."
The leader of the Wusun Tribe said with a grimace, "Recently, the group of the Western Liang Army in the customs have gone crazy, going deep into Grasslands to massacre our major tribes."
"He said that our Cavalry entered the country to plunder and killed their Western Liang Army leader Han Sui. This is completely slander! A naked slander!"
"Tengri, how can we dare to enter the customs and plunder now? Those barbaric guys deliberately used this reason to massacre our people!"
"That person named Ma Chao is so scary! He just bullied Qiang, but now he is even bullying us Xiongnu!"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused the resonance of other tribal leaders, and they all began to complain and accuse Han Army of his crimes, and they all burst into tears.
It's so pitiful that they didn't do anything, but Western Liang Army repeatedly entered Grasslands to kill them. This is so unreasonable.
Above King's Seat.
Huchuquan felt extremely headache after listening to the complaints from the leaders of the major tribes. He raised his hands to suppress everyone's voices.
"I have investigated this matter clearly. This is a power struggle within the Western Liang Army, and Ma Chao deliberately put the blame on us."
"Western Liang Army is powerful. We are no match for them. Just hide if you can. Resistance will only lead to more crazy attacks from them."
Huchuquan sighed and said.
A tribal leader said, "Great Chanyu, you have helped Son of Heaven Return East and made great contributions. Why don't you ask Son of Heaven for help?"
"I heard that Ma Chao has surrendered to Son of Heaven. As long as Son of Heaven gives the order, he will definitely not send troops to us again."
Back then, Son of Heaven Return East, Huchuquan, as Chanyu, had sent Right Worthy King Qubei to lead the escort, which was a great contribution.
Huchuquan shook his head and said, "This matter is not that simple. Besides, Ma Chao said that we killed Han Sui. What evidence do we have to prove our innocence?"
Although he knew that Ma Chao had put the blame on them, they couldn't prove their innocence. What if Son of Heaven thought the same?
I can only find an opportunity to explain to Son of Heaven.
At this time, Right Worthy King Qubei said, "Chanyu, recently we found a team of the Han Army on Grasslands, with about a thousand people."
"They came from Bing Province. It seems that Banner is the team of Governor of Bing Province Gao Gan. They seem to be running for their lives."
"Gao Gan?"
Huchuquan was shocked and couldn't help but ask, "Why did Gao Gan's troops come to Grasslands? Bing Province What happened recently?"
Of course he knew the name of Gao Gan. This man was the nephew of Governor of Bing Province, Yuan Shao. His soldiers and horses were also very powerful, and he was someone they could not afford to offend.
Qubei replied, "Not long ago, Son of Heaven sent troops to attack Bing Province. Now Gao Gan appears at Grasslands. It seems that Son of Heaven has defeated Jinyang City."
"Yuan Shao rebelled, and Gao Gan is the remnant of Yuan Shao's faction. He may be avoiding Han Army's pursuit, so he fled to Grasslands."
"Looking at the route, they seem to be going to Wuhuan."
Huchuquan felt quite Shock after hearing this.
Let's not talk about how difficult it is to send troops to fight in winter. The key is that Gao Gan was defeated so quickly? Bing Province had a lot of troops!
In just a few years, Son of Heaven's army... has become so powerful!
Just when Huchuquan was deep in thought, suddenly a Scouts rushed into Royal Tent. The face of this Scouts was full of surprise. Afraid, before he could ask a question, he said in a trembling voice, "Chanyu, it's Han Army! Han Army has arrived at Jiuyuan County!"
This sentence directly made everyone present turn pale!
Huchuquan turned pale and asked in disbelief, "How many Han Army are there? Have you found out?"
Scouts nodded and said, "I found out clearly, there are three thousand people."
Everyone was slightly relieved after hearing this, Huchuquan felt annoyed, and couldn't help shouting, "It's only three thousand Han Army, not thirty thousand, did you scare you like this?"
Although Han Army is powerful, three thousand Han Army is not a big threat to them, so they should not be so afraid.
But Scouts looked sad and said in a voice suppressed with fear, "But Chanyu, the commander of those three thousand Han Army... is Lü Bu!"
Hearing this, dark clouds suddenly filled Royal Tent.
Everyone, including Khan, looked pale.
Chapter 288 One man is worth ten barbarians! Xiongnu little bastard, you will kill
Lü Bu.
This simple name was like a devil's whisper, making everyone in the tent couldn't help but tremble.
Because this name is so scary!
Many years ago, when Lü Bu was still Bing Province, he often led his troops to fight with them, and his hands were stained with the blood of countless Xiongnu people!
At that time, Lü Bu's name was synonymous with evil spirits. Among the Grasslands tribes, it was once able to stop children from crying, and even gained the reputation of Flying General!
Even though more than ten years have passed, everyone still feels fear from the bottom of their hearts when they hear the name Lü Bu.
"Why is this killer star back again!"
Huchuquan said in horror after coming back to his senses.
Many years ago, he was not Chanyu. Because he was young and frivolous and did not believe in the reputation of Lü Bu, he found an opportunity and led five hundred Cavalry to surround and kill the lone Lü Bu with only a dozen riders.
At that time, Lü Bu was less than thirty years old. The five hundred Royal Court Elite Cavalry he led were directly killed by Lü Bu, but he only managed to save his life under the desperate protection of a group of Elite Troops!
Lü Bu and his subordinate Bing Province Wolf Cavalry made him clearly understand what it means to be unparalleled in the world, and what it means to be a man equal to ten barbarians!
Since then, he has avoided Lü Bu.
When I heard the name Bing Province Wolf Cavalry, I couldn't help but tremble.
"Lü Bu left Bing Province a long time ago and went to work for Son of Heaven at Ye City. Why did he return to Jiuyuan after so many years?"
Qubei said bitterly, "Chanyu, this time Son of Heaven Faction soldiers attack Bing Province, and the leader of the troops is Lü Bu."
The leader of the Wusun Tribe was horrified when he heard this. "Did Son of Heaven also think that we killed Han Sui, so he sent Lü Bu to come and cause trouble for us?"
"If this is the case, then this Three Thousand Troops must be just a vanguard force, and the Han army will arrive soon!"
"Migrate! We need to migrate now!"
Not only Wusun Tribe leader, but also other tribe leaders have the same idea.
The horror of Lü Bu is imprinted in everyone's heart. They can't resist Lü Bu at all, and now they just want to escape as soon as possible!
"Everyone, please be quiet!"
Huchuquan suddenly shouted loudly, the angry voice suppressed all the voices in the tent, and the leaders of each tribe turned their attention to him.
Huchuquan paid no attention to them, but stared at Qubei with sharp eyes, asking, "When did Gao Gan's troops enter Grasslands?"
Qubei thought for a while and said, "About two days ago."
"That's right." After hearing this, Huchuquan relaxed his frown and said, "Lü Bu didn't come for us, otherwise it would be impossible to bring only Three Thousand Troops."
"Gao Gan just escaped into Grasslands and Lü Bu arrived in Jiuyuan soon. If my guess is correct, he came to hunt down Gao Gan."
After hearing this analysis, the leaders were relieved.
Lü Bu As long as it's not for them.
But Qubei was still a little worried and couldn't help but said, "Chanyu, I don't think we can rule out the possibility of Lü Bu taking action against us."
"Because Gao Gan and the others have now fled into Great Grassland, and Ma Chao slandered us for killing Han Sui, he might think that we are colluding with Gao Gan."
"I'm afraid he won't give up when the time comes."
With these words, everyone's hearts were lifted again.
Indeed, this possibility cannot be denied.
Lü Bu is famous for his bloodthirsty and recklessness, especially towards Xiongnu people, he shows no mercy!
"What do you think we should do?"
Huchuquan thinks what Qubei said makes sense.
