Han Dao world

Chapter 285
Sending away Lu Bu and Chen Gong, Liu Bei told Jian Yong to hurry up and prepare food and supplies.

At the same time, we must be prepared to prevent Lu Bu from taking a bite instead of leaving after receiving the grain, grass and supplies.

"Lu Bu repeats, it's okay." Liu Bei said.

Jian Yong agreed.

He didn't believe that Lu Bu would save Zang Hong at all, so he still wanted to save people with Lu Bu's thousand remaining soldiers?

He had just been kicked out of Yanzhou by Yuan Shao's subordinates, how could he have the courage to face Yuan Shao himself.

This is clearly an excuse.

But Lu Bu is willing to leave Xuzhou, which is good news.No matter where Lu Bu goes, there are advantages and no disadvantages.

It was a mistake to take in Lu Bu at the beginning.

Liu Bei was willing to take in Lu Bu because he wanted to use Lu Bu's power to fight against Cao Cao, who had always coveted Xuzhou.Now that Yuan Shao's army is heading south, Cao Cao is not a concern, but Lu Bu has become a hidden danger.

Lv Bu is not enough to fight Yuan Shao, but it is possible to capture Xuzhou.

Not only did he repeat, but he also devoured the master. Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo are both lessons from the past.

Liu Bei thought for a while, and then said: "Just discuss it with Brother Mi Zizhong. Don't let Chen Yuanlong know, so as not to cause trouble. Lu Bu is brave, even if he can't be a friend, he can't be an enemy."

Jian Yong nodded again in agreement.

Needless to say, Lu Bu's military strength, he was able to fight Cao Cao back and forth in Yanzhou, which shows his ability to use troops.At least so far, Liu Bei has no such record.It is unwise to be an enemy of such a person.

Anyway, Lu Bu is going to leave, it is the best policy to get together and relax.

But Chen Deng might not think so.

Chen Deng's father, Chen Gui, not only had a close relationship with Yuan Shao, but also had friendship with Yuan Shao's general Shen Pei - Shen Pei was an old official of Chen Deng's uncle Chen Qiu.Because of this kind of friendship, when Liu Bei accepted the governor of Xuzhou, Chen Deng suggested sending an envoy to Yecheng to inform Yuan Shao and obtain Yuan Shao's support.

Now that Yuan Shao is going south, Xuzhou will definitely support Yuan Shao. If Chen Deng wants to use Lu Bu's head as a meeting ceremony, Liu Bei will not be able to stop him.

If you really want to turn your face, maybe Chen Deng will use Liu Bei's head as a meeting gift.

As Liu Bei's confidant, Jian Yong is very clear about the key points of this, so naturally he dare not be careless.

Two days later, Jian Yong prepared the supplies and sent them to Xiaopei.

Lu Bu had already packed his luggage and set off immediately after receiving the supplies, all the way west.

Liu Bei stroked his forehead and sighed, feeling relieved.

-

Among the clouds, beside Shaling Lake.

The sky is getting late and the north wind is dying.

The sun was setting, dyeing the sunset glow in the sky into blood red, and the frozen lake surface was also reflected in red.

A wisp of smoke from the shepherd's cooking soared upwards, like a hibiscus reaching up to the sky.

Liu Xie reined in his mount, looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him, suddenly became very excited about poetry, and blurted out.

"The lonely smoke in the desert is straight, and the sun is setting in the long river."

To the southwest of Shaling Lake is the Yellow River, and to the west of the Yellow River is the desert. These two lines of his poem are quite suitable for the occasion.

But it's just two sentences, and the rest is wrong.

Cai Yan who was following beside him smiled knowingly.

The Son of Heaven recites poems and cherishes words like gold, she has long been used to it.Following the poetic flavor of the Son of Heaven, continuing a good poem becomes one of the rare entertainments during the journey.

After a hard ideological struggle, Cai Yan finally rejected the emperor's advice and chose to go along with him.

This opportunity is rare, and as a historian in charge of daily life records, she is unwilling to give up this opportunity.

The two riders galloped forward and arrived in front of Liu Xie almost at the same time.A Hun knight with a shaved head and a Han knight with a turban, both wrapped in thick scarves, are travel-stained and their faces are covered with dust.

The Han knight got off his horse, threw his mount to his fellow Huns, rushed to the emperor himself, untied the scarf covering his face, and held up the waist badge indicating his identity as a scout.

"Your Majesty, it is safe within a hundred miles."

Liu Xie nodded, turned to Hu Chuquan and said, "Shan Yu, let's camp here today."

Hu Chuquan nodded quickly. "Your Majesty is holy."

These four characters are the four Chinese characters he has spoken most smoothly in more than a month, and the characters are correct and round.

Starting from Anyi in Hedong, passing through Taiyuan, Yanmen, and Dingxiang all the way, under the cover of the Great Wall, sneaking all the way to Shaling in the northeast of Meiji. The Han army did not attract anyone's attention. The Huns were amazed.

Although there are few knights in the Han army, they are truly elite. They are not only well equipped and well trained, but also have amazing learning ability.

Liu Xie picked out two hundred knights of the Han army, one-on-one with the knights of the Huns, and formed partner knights, and together they took on the task of reconnaissance.After the two sides got along for more than ten days, most of the knights of the Han army were able to communicate in the Hun language initially, but very few of the Huns could speak Chinese.

Just as he himself got along with Liu Xie day and night, Liu Xie quickly learned the simple Hun language, but it was difficult for him to understand what the Han people were saying.

He couldn't understand the poem that Liu Xie read just now.

He couldn't even guarantee whether it was a poem or not, he just thought it might be.

"It's early February now, are they still in Meiji?"

"Should...not be here anymore." Hu Chuquan said with some uncertainty.

Liu Xie got off his horse, threw the reins to Shi A, went to the river, knelt down, untied the cloth covering his face, scooped water from the ice hole broken by the tiger's ben, and washed his face.

The icy cold water stung his nerves, giving him a little feeling on his frozen face.

Liu Xie patted his face carefully to make sure that no part was frozen.

Outside the fortress, the wind was obviously stronger.Some of the original knights didn't know the dominance of Shuofeng outside the Great Wall, they didn't have enough protection, and many of them lost their noses and ears from the cold.

Liu Xie studied in Bingcheng in his previous life and heard similar stories, so he paid special attention to protection.

He doesn't want to wear a golden mask every day and pretend to be the high priest of Sanxingdui.

Xun You hurried over and stood beside Liu Xie with a serious expression.

"What's wrong?" Liu Xie didn't look up, he could see Xun You's face from the swaying water.

"Your Majesty, the Huns have not reacted at all after they have been out of the fortress for so long. They are either too stupid or have a conspiracy. We must guard against it."

Liu Xie hummed, but didn't respond too much.

In fact, Xun You didn't need to say, he also noticed something abnormal.

It stands to reason that the news of his stay in Lidu in Anyi should have reached Meiji, and going north to Taiyuan was no exception.Even if the Huns didn't know whether he would leave the fortress, they would not be so negligent.

With Hu Chuquan accompanying him, those traitors who killed Qiang Qu were not at all worried, not even the most basic vigilance.

If so, would they still be alive today?
So, there is probably a conspiracy here.

"If the Huns want to ambush us, this should be the best battlefield." Liu Xie stood up and wiped his hands on his body. "Since the scouts can't find them, they must be hiding in a place that is not easy to find."

The corner of Xun You's mouth twitched slightly. "In the desert thirty miles away."

It is difficult to live in the desert for a long time, so the scouts will subconsciously avoid the desert, and at most look at the edge.If there are Huns ambushing nearby, they can only hide in the desert thirty miles away without being discovered by scouts.

This conclusion may seem groundless, but it is actually the most logical.

Liu Xie turned around, looked at Xun You, and smiled knowingly. "So, guess again, when will they appear?"

Xun You looked at the distant horizon, his eyes narrowed. "It will take at least an hour for a thirty-mile gallop. I estimate that they should set off at midnight, and the friend of Chou Yin rushed to the vicinity. When they rested until Mao, when our army just opened their eyes and buried the pot for cooking, they launched an attack."

"Then let's have a good night's rest and wait for them to come."
