You can't gamble with your life on Lü Bu's brain.
Qubei After pondering for a moment, a light flashed in his eyes and he said, "I have a plan to ensure safety."
Huchuquan looked happy and quickly asked, "What are your plans? Tell me quickly!"
Qubei said, "We should immediately send troops to intercept and kill Gao Gan, and dedicate the heads of Gao Gan and others to Lü Bu! Only in this way can we prove our innocence!"
Since Lü Bu is after Gao Gan, they should kill all these people and send them over, lest Lü Bu misunderstand, or find no one to take out their anger on them.
"Kill Gao Gan?"
Huchuquan couldn't help showing hesitation when he heard this, "But doing so would be tantamount to intervening in the disputes between Han State's princes."
He did not want to get involved in the disputes between Central Plains princes.
The previous generation Chanyu, that is, his elder brother Yufuluo, successively joined forces with Yuan Shao, Zhang Yang, Yuan Shu and others to fight against Cao Cao. As a result, they suffered a huge defeat and eventually died of serious injuries.
Central Plains The water was too deep and he didn't think he could grasp it.
Qubei said, "Son of Heaven of Great Han is sending troops this time to Campaign Against the Rebel. It is understandable for us to help exterminate the remnants of Rebel. We are just obeying Son of Heaven's will."
"Besides..."
Qubei paused for a moment, stood up and came to Huchuquan, and said in his ear, "When we escorted Son of Heaven Return East, our soldiers and horses looted Guanzhong. Now that Son of Heaven is back in power, we must Redeem Oneself Through Meritorious Service."
"Otherwise, when Son of Heaven remembers this matter in the future and wants to settle the score, we will be doomed."
Huchuquan's expression froze slightly, he pondered for a moment and then nodded, "Well, you personally lead the troops to intercept and kill Gao Gan, and sacrifice your head to Lü Bu!"
"In addition to this, we will count the property and Han people looted in Guanzhong, and find a time to send them all to Ye City."
"Today's Son of Heaven is no longer what it used to be. Even powerful princes like Yuan Shao were defeated by Son of Heaven. We... must be careful."
Qubei's words reminded Huchuquan.
Today's Son of Heaven is not the Son of Heaven who fled in embarrassment at the time of Return East. He has truly gained power and is about to unify the north.
Son of Heaven not only has a killing god like Lü Bu under his command, but also Mighty Heavenly General Ma Chao, and his subordinate One Hundred Thousand Western Liang Army. It is easy to deal with Xiongnu!
They have to continue to behave like before, with their tail between their legs.
Grasslands, Xiuqu Tribe.
In a tent in the center of the tribe, leader Xiuqu Tribe was drinking and eating meat with many tribal warriors, talking and laughing loudly.
In the center of the tent, there were graceful women dancing, and all of these women were Han Chinese.
Not only that, every warrior in the tent was accompanied by a Han woman, and the leader sitting on the Seat of Honor had his arms around the two Beauty.
"Hahaha! Dance well! Dance well"
"Take off your coat and keep dancing!"
The leader drank Wine from the cup in one gulp, then threw the cup at the feet of the Han woman who was leading the dance, and said with a lewd smile, while one hand wandered around Beauty's body beside him.
The Han woman beside him turned slightly pale, and the hand holding the wine bottle shook slightly, accidentally spilling it on the leader.
The latter's expression suddenly changed, and he slapped her on the face with his backhand, knocking her to the ground, and cursed angrily, "Bitch! Don't you have eyes? You can't even serve people well, so what do I need from you!"
After saying that, he continued to use punches and kicks, but the woman who was beaten just closed her eyes tightly and endured silently, while the other Han women in the tent couldn't help but feel sadness in their eyes when they saw this scene.
"Chief, please calm down and don't really beat her to death. These tender Han women are not easy to buy nowadays. They will be hard to buy if they are beaten to death."
A tribal warrior spoke to persuade. After hearing his words, the leader's expression changed slightly, and then he sat back down and drank wine.
Another tribal warrior sighed, "Central Plains The major princes are fighting in a melee, each fighting more fiercely than the other. It is too dangerous to enter the customs for hunting."
The Xiongnu people call plundering in the pass a safari, and everything they grab is a trophy, among which the fair-looking Han women are the most precious.
It's just that the situation in Central Plains has changed. Nowadays, the risk of entering the customs to rob is too high, and maybe you will never come back, so we are becoming less and less afraid to enter the customs to rob.
"Yes, Western Liang Army who was stationed in Guanzhong invaded Grasslands some time ago. They slaughtered the tribesmen they saw, even the children. It was so cruel."
A warrior speaks with fear.
Previously, in order to appease Western Liang Army's military morale, Ma Chao sent Western Liang Army to go deep into Grasslands to massacre. Many tribes suffered this disaster, which was extremely frightening.
"You haven't heard of it yet."
Another warrior put down the wine in his hand, swallowed and said, "I just got the news that Lü Bu, the god of death, has also returned to the border."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
"Lü Bu is back?!"
"That legendary god of death?"
"How could this devil come back!"
"He must be here to kill us!"
All the tribal warriors trembled with fear when they heard this name, which was even greater than when they heard Western Liang Army or Ma Chao.
Lü Bu's reputation has spread too widely in this land.
Only the leader looked disdainful and snorted, "Bullshit God of Killing! Ten knights killed five hundred Royal Court Elite Troops. Do you really believe the legend that was circulated more than ten years ago?"
"And that Western Liang Army, and that mighty general Ma Chao, they are just relying on the number of people, there is nothing to brag about!"
"How can the Han people be stronger than our warriors!"
One Han is equivalent to ten barbarians. This saying may have been applicable when Emperor Wu was in power two hundred years ago, but he did not pay attention to the current Han people at all.
Faced with the leader's arrogance, the other warriors in the tent did not dare to object and could only agree with him, which made the leader even more arrogant.
But at this moment, they suddenly heard an earth-shattering sound of horse hooves coming from a distance, and even the ground beneath their feet was faintly shaking!
"What's going on?!"
The leader of the Xiuqu Tribe's expression changed and he quickly ran out of Camp Tent. Then they were stunned by what they saw in front of them.
I saw Snowfield in a vast expanse of white.
A force of thousands Iron Cavalry is attacking the tribe!
"Han Army! It's Han Army!"
Looking at the armor, weapons and Banner of the army in front of him, a tribal warrior looked pale, with unstoppable fear on his face!
"Fight! Fight now!"
Xiuqu Tribe leader was the first to react, and immediately shouted at the top of his lungs without even bothering to straighten his clothes.
However, before he could turn around, a Spear shot came from nowhere, tearing a horrific wound directly through his body.
Kill with one shot!
Immediately afterwards, a Military Generals flew over, pulled out the Spear, shook off the blood on the tip of the gun, and coldly gave the order, "Kill!"
This Military Generals is exactly Gao Gan!
"Kill--!"
Thousands of Iron Cavalry rushed directly into the Xiuqu Tribe, killing everyone on sight, just like the devil coming, there is no way to stop it!
No, this is a one-sided massacre!
Xiuqu Tribe is a small tribe with a population of 3,000. There are more than 800 adult males in the tribe, all of whom are powerful warriors with strong bodies and capable of fighting on horseback.
But at this moment, they faced the army led by Gao Gan but could only be massacred. This was a battle that had no suspense at all!
Gao Gan's soldiers and horses are like tigers entering the flock of sheep, mercilessly harvesting one life after another. During this period, some people wanted to rise up to resist, but what greeted them was only death!
The sound of howling and crying echoed in the vast Grasslands.
Soon after, in addition to the old, young, women and children squatting on the ground crying with their heads in their hands, there were hundreds of tribal warriors kneeling on the ground in the Xiuqu Tribe.
As for the leader, he was already dead.
Gao Gan rode on the horse, glanced at the group of prisoners, and ordered to the Soldierss behind him, "Everyone replenish Grain and Fodder food, change horses, and continue on the road in an hour!"
He slaughtered this tribe just to plunder food and horses. In the vast Grasslands, this was the only way to obtain supplies.
For him, direct slaughter is much easier than communication.
There is no need to talk nonsense if you can grab it.
Although he couldn't defeat Lü Bu's army, it was easy to kill these Xiongnu people. This was how he plundered all the way after entering Grasslands.
"General, if we fight all the way here, we won't attract Royal Court's attention, right? This is the territory of the Xiongnu people after all."
Guo Yuan came over and asked worriedly.
They escaped from Bing Province all the way out of the pass, and only a thousand people were left. If they encountered a large force of Xiongnu, they would definitely not be their opponents.
Gao Gan said, "As long as we don't kill the Xianbei tribe, it will be fine. Let's speed up our march and we will reach Wuhuan's territory in a few days. We will be safe by then."
"How is the young master?"
The young master he was talking about was Yuan Mai, the youngest son of Yuan Shao.
Guo Yuan heard this and couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Young Master is already weak, and the continuous march is really too much. I think it's better to rest more."
"There is no time to rest." Gao Gan sighed and said, "Lü Bu has arrived at the border. If he finds our traces and chases us, we will definitely die."
"Lü Bu's army is not as weak as Xiongnu."
He had already received news of Lü Bu's arrival at the border from the tribe he had slaughtered before, which was why he was on the road day and night.
Guo Yuan looked a little bitter when he heard this.
Yes, if Lü Bu's army is as weak as these Xiongnu people, why would they run away?
The conversation between Gao Gan and Guo Yuan fell into the ears of the captives, which immediately filled their hearts with horror and disbelief.
The Han army with terrifying combat power in front of us was actually just the defeated general of Lü Bu, being chased by Lü Bu?
A group of defeated soldiers who were being hunted were actually able to kill them until they were unable to fight back!
Just when many soldiers and horses of Gaogan were resting, they heard the thundering sound of horse hooves. On the vast snowfield, a mighty army was rushing towards this place!
"Royal Court's army! It's Royal Court's army!"
"Royal Court is here to save us!"
After a captured soldier saw Banner from that army, he couldn't help but exclaimed with joy and almost cried!
