Han Dao world

Chapter 494
Xun Yun went out of the tent, caught up with Cao Ang, and conveyed the emperor's oral order.

Cao Ang was not surprised at all.

"Can Kebi come here often?" Xun Yun asked.

"I don't come here often, after all, it's been less than a year since he moved here." Cao Ang thought for a while, and then said: "If you don't count envoys, this should be the first time I've seen you."

"You came in such a hurry to ask for relief?" Xun Yun was a little worried.

When he encountered heavy snow on the road, he was thinking about this problem.One of the conditions for the Xianbei people to accept the court's appeasement was that they would receive relief in case of disaster.As far as the states and counties currently controlled by the imperial court are concerned, there is actually not much food for the Xianbei people.

Although the harvests in Hedong and Guanzhong are good this year, they have limited household registration and cannot afford much grain.Especially in Hedong, in addition to supplying the emperor, he is also responsible for the supply of military food in northern Xinjiang, which is actually very tight.

What's more, before the relief of the Xianbei people on the grassland, there are still people in the Bingliang frontier fortress who need relief.

"On the one hand, the relief is more about vassalization." Cao Ang briefly explained the news about the wolf riding that he had received recently.Xun Yun is eager to do things, of course he must first understand the situation.As Xun Yun's partner, he can help a little.

Xun Yun was very surprised.Lu Bu led a hundred cavalry out of the fortress, and he could achieve such a result?In this way, Ke Bi can come here in person, asking for relief is not the main task, and saying that surrender is the key.

"True elites are one against ten." Cao Ang said with a bit of envy. "Huang Yi was lucky. He was admitted to the student camp within a few months of arriving in Liangzhou. After only a few months of study in the student camp, he was appointed as the long history of the wolf rider. He never fails, and the sky rises straight up."

Xun Yun looked at Cao Ang and couldn't help laughing, "Do you think this is a good opportunity?"

"Of course. Don't you think so?"

Xun Yun smiled and said nothing.He escorted the queen all the way north, and he was already tossed by the bitter cold in Liangzhou.In other words, wolf riding out of the fortress to fight is a narrow escape.Huang Yi did this out of helplessness, so what is there to envy?

The two came to Ke Bineng and greeted each other.

Upon hearing Xun Yun's name, Ke Bineng's expression changed slightly, and he asked, "What is your relationship with General Xun Gongda?"

Xun Yun said with a smile, "He is my elder brother."

"I see." Ke Bi Neng looked Xun Yun up and down, and nodded repeatedly. "I have heard for a long time that the Xun family in Yingchuan is very talented. Now that I see it, it is indeed well-deserved. Brother Xun is now guarding the emperor, and his future is limitless."

He ordered someone to take out a short knife and put it in front of Xun Yun with both hands. "This is the weapon of a great country in the Western Regions in my collection. The workmanship is quite exquisite. I hope Brother Xun will not dislike it."

Xun Yun was a little surprised and looked at Cao Ang.Cao Ang nodded calmly, motioning for Xun Yun to accept.As the emperor's close servants, they often receive similar small gifts.It's just that Xun Yun has a brother like Xun You to support him, so the gifts he received are also very precious.

This short knife is inlaid with gold and jade, with exquisite workmanship, and it is very valuable at first glance.

Xun Yun took it away, pulled out the short knife to look at it carefully, and tried the edge with his fingers, and couldn't help secretly praising it.

Look at this edge, it is actually sharper than the weapon made by the Iron Officer of Hedong.The intricate pattern on the blade is even more exquisite than I have ever seen before, and I don't know how it was made.

"The commander-in-chief said just now that this is a weapon of a great country in the Western Regions?"

"Exactly."

"Is there a big country in the Western Regions?" Xun Yun looked puzzled.

"Yes, but it's far away and unknown to the Han people." Ke Bi Neng smiled, with a little complacency. "Of course, compared with the big man, maybe it's not that big, at most it's on par with the big man."

"Really?" Xun Yun became interested and bowed his hands in greeting. "Yun Chu is here for the first time, and I hope the commander-in-chief will give me some advice."

Ke Bi Neng hits the nail on the head.

He knew that there was a gentleman named Xunyou beside the emperor, who was Xunyou's younger sister.This young man is also Xun You's younger brother, maybe he is that Xun Guiren's brother.Being able to become friends with such a person was an opportunity he longed for, so he gave him his treasured weapon as soon as they met.

Xun Yun took the initiative to ask for advice, and he couldn't ask for it.

Ke Bi Neng invited Xun Yun and Cao Ang to be seated, and took out another gift and gave it to Cao Ang.Seeing Cao Ang and Xun Yun getting close, he knew that this young man was also different, so he didn't dare to neglect, and the gift he gave was also very expensive.

Cao Ang first conveyed the edict of the emperor, asking Ke Bi Neng to wait for two days, and then arranged for him to camp.Taking advantage of the opportunity of camping, the two asked Ke Bi Neng about the situation in the Western Regions.

Kebi can tell all the news he has inquired in the past six months.

Xun Yun was fascinated by what he heard. Cao Ang listened for a while, but realized that what Ke Bineng said was not true.As for whether he has limited knowledge or did it on purpose, it's hard to say.Ke Bineng just moved here from Daijun area, so it's understandable that he doesn't know the situation.

In short, most of what Kebi can understand is hearsay, or even speculation, as if he was fooled by profiteers like Anthony.As a close servant of the emperor, Cao Ang knew very well how good a profiteer like Anthony was at lying in order to monopolize business routes.Before being questioned and exposed by the emperor, Anthony was almost invincible, and no one ever doubted him.

After all, everyone has never seen what the Western Regions look like.

Half of Fu Luohan's death in battle was because he was deceived by Anthony's mouth.

If nothing else, Ke Bineng will be next.

After saying goodbye to Ke Bineng and returning to the imperial camp, Xun Yun was immersed in the vastness of the Western Regions, which surprised Cao Ang.

Cao Ang has always admired Xun Yu and Xun Yun, and regards Xun Yun as his elder brother and best friend.He was happy for a while when he learned that Xun Yun was here, and felt that he could get along with Xun Yun day and night again, so he asked Xun Yun for advice.

But now, he felt that Xun Yun was a little naive, and he believed in what Ke Bineng said.

Cao Ang didn't want to say it, so as not to hurt Xun Yun's self-esteem.But when he thought that Xun Yun might speak to the emperor, he couldn't help reminding: "Changqian, Hu Lu is cunning, what he says is false and true, you can't believe it."

"I know." Xun Yun nodded with a smile. "He tried to exaggerate the strength of the countries in the Western Regions. He just wanted to form an alliance with me and fight against powerful enemies. It is understandable that he is not true. But his understanding of the Western Regions really opened my eyes."

"Hmm." Cao Ang coughed: "Changqian, your guess is naturally good, but don't forget that Ke Bineng has only been here for less than half a year, and most of the information he knows has not been verified."

Xun Yun was startled slightly. "You mean, he didn't necessarily exaggerate on purpose, but was deceived?"

Cao Ang nodded. "Hearsay is prone to corruption. Most of the people who often come and go on the grassland are businessmen. In order to make profits, they hardly have a few truths in their mouths. They can cheat as much as they can."

"Then are there any big countries in the Western Regions?"

"I don't know if there is a big country, but I know that Xianbei was once very powerful. Back then, Tan Shihuai was so arrogant that he refused to make a marriage. Now, he was defeated by our Han army's cavalry in two battles, and the wind has disappeared since then." Cao Ang said lightly: "Western Region If there is really a big country that can rival my big man, it must be beyond the blade of Pohuhou (Chen Tang) and Dingyuanhou (Ban Chao), and it is definitely not what Ke Bineng needs to worry about right now."

Xun Yun couldn't help laughing. "Zi Xiu is domineering."
