Han Dao world

Chapter 977
Jiang Qian and Xun Yun met each other and hit it off right away.

Leaning on the horse, the two talked and laughed happily.

Yang Feng led the knights to protect him, and his body was still stained with the blood of the enemy.Although he didn't say a word, he had an aggressive demeanor.The Xianbei people who were protecting Xun Yunlai were inexplicably nervous and quietly stepped aside.

Farther away, the Xianbei people were chasing and killing the remnants of the enemy.

Having just seen the indomitable momentum of the Han Qi, Jiang Gan looked down upon the fighting power of these Xianbei people.He was puzzled, are these Xianbei people really the Xianbei people who forced Emperor Xiaohuan to take the initiative to make a marriage, but were rejected by them?

Or is it because after Tan Shihuai's death, the Xianbei people's internal strife continued and their strength was greatly damaged?
Xun Yun saw Jiang Gan's doubts, and explained: "Our army has just been defeated, morale is low, and the loss of men, horses and equipment is also great. This time, we chased the barbarians from the north for more than ten days, and we were exhausted."

Jiang Gan looked Xun Yun up and down, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. "It seems that Chang Shi has regained his strength, and the emperor doesn't have to worry."

Xun Yun smiled. "Without the emperor, I can't wait for today. No matter how far I go, the emperor and the big man will always be my backing. As long as the Xianbei people are not pushed to the end, they will not kill me."

Jiang Gan took it for granted.

Xun Yun greeted Yang Feng and others again.He had known Yang Feng since he was in Liangzhou, and it was Yang Feng who passed the news to him recently, and he had become a comrade-in-arms long ago.

After the Xianbei people finished cleaning the battlefield, Xun Yun mounted his horse again and took Jiang Gan to see Ke Bineng.

He introduced the situation to Jiang Gan.

Kebi Neng was expelled from his hometown by the emperor, traveled all the way west, and after arriving between two rivers, he met Guishuang King Hupisaka.It was the civil strife in Guishuang, and King Guishuang was exhausted and unable to deal with the Xianbei people in order to calm the civil strife, so he wanted to give Ke Bineng between the two rivers in exchange for Ke Bineng to help him put down the rebellion.

But Ke Bineng had other ideas. He wanted to take the opportunity to take Guishuang and replace him.

Xun Yun opposed this decision and had a disagreement with Ke Bineng.Ke Bi Neng could not persuade Xun Yun, so he used force instead and put Xun Yun under house arrest.

But the facts are just as Xun Yun expected. Although Guishuang is in civil strife, after all, it has been in business for more than three hundred years, and its strength is not comparable to that of Xianbei.Facing the threat of national subjugation, the various tribes of Guishuang, which were originally fighting against each other, formed an alliance to fight against Ke Bineng again and again.

Kebi can advance but cannot restrain, and retreat cannot give up. When he was in a dilemma, a group of barbarians ran over from nowhere and took his way.

After this battle, Ke Bineng was no longer able to deal with the Guishuang people's counterattack.In desperation, Xun Yun had to be released, and Xun Yun negotiated with the Guishuang people.

Guishuang also fought very hard, coupled with the deep-rooted fear of the Han people, he readily accepted Xun Yun's suggestion, and he was able to negotiate peace with Ke.

But the pastures between the two rivers were gone, and the Xianbei could only retreat eastward, fighting the barbarians while looking for new pastures.

Fortunately, Kangju and Dawan also turned against Guishuang, fearing the revenge of the Guishuang people, and hoped that the Xianbei people would rush ahead to attract the attention of the Guishuang people, and provided some supplies for them to live here temporarily. Just got some respite.

After Jiang Gan listened, his interest in Guishuang increased greatly. "Why are they fighting among themselves?"

"The country has been established for too long, and there are many disadvantages." Xun Yun said concisely, with a calmness that did not match his age on his dark face. "Speaking carefully, Guishuang is somewhat similar to my big man, but they have neither a hero like the emperor nor an academic like Confucianism, and the collapse is imminent."

"Guishuang is going to die?"

"It's very likely." Xun Yun breathed out. "The King of Guishuang, Hu Biserga, died of overwork last year. Now that the five princes are vying for the throne, if the Xianbei people hadn't pushed too hard, maybe they would have fought hard. This is exactly what I saw. , Ke Bineng felt that he could take advantage of the situation."

Jiang Gan smiled. "Ke Bineng can also be regarded as a hero among Xianbei people. How could he underestimate the enemy so much? When he first arrived, he wanted to occupy the magpie's nest."

Xun Yun was silent for a moment. "Haste makes waste. Let's not talk about him, let's talk about the situation in the Central Plains. Has the emperor settled Jizhou?"

Jiang Gan then recounted the information he knew.

Xun Yun breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that the city of Ye was destroyed without attack.

Since there is no war, the Ruying people in the city will not be in danger, and Ruying's vitality is preserved, which is undoubtedly good news for him.

Hearing that Zhang Zhao was practicing moral government in Bohai, he couldn't help shaking his head. "Zhang Zhao is really stupid in studying. Governing the country should pay equal attention to etiquette and law, how can he be purely taught by morality. Half of the family's wealth is in the land and half in the house. Even if Bohai can compensate the land, what about the house? I guess few people will be willing to move to Bohai. "

Jiang Gan also felt the same, and the two talked more speculatively.

After traveling for more than ten li, they encountered the main force led by Ke Bineng.

The army was already camping, and the tents stretched for miles, forming a large circle.

Some Xianbei knights were patrolling around, keeping vigilant, and some knights were not disarmed, and they were busy setting up camp.Women, old people, and children are busy in and out. The milkers milk the milk, and the water fetchers fetch water. None of them is idle.

Some half-grown children with weapons were busy cleaning the battlefield, picking up the trophies left by the barbarians, and checking the wounded on the ground.Those who could be saved were taken back, and those who could not be saved were simply killed and buried in a centralized pit.

Kebi Neng waited outside the camp with some knights.

His face is full of weather, and even his beard and hair are a little gray. It's hard to believe that he hasn't reached the age of forty.

Seeing Jiang Gan, he was very polite, got off his horse all the way, and saluted his chest.

"Chen Xianbei Shuai Ke Bineng, I have seen the emperor's envoy, dare to ask the emperor how he is."

Jiang Gan got off his horse quickly and bowed to return the gift. "The emperor is well, ask the general for news."

"The emperor is concerned, and I am grateful." Ke Bi Neng bowed respectfully to the east.

After seeing the ceremony, Ke Bi Neng led Jiang Gan into the camp and came to the big tent in the center of the camp.

This tent is extraordinarily large and looks much more refined, it can accommodate a hundred people.The tent has already been carpeted, and a fire is lit, and an iron kettle is hung on the fire, boiling goat milk.A few women were busy inside and outside the tent, grilling and cutting meat, filling a table.

"Envoy please." Ke Bineng warmly invited Jiang Gan and others to take their seats.

Jiang Gan took the chief seat on the right, and Yang Feng and others sat with him.Xun Yun took the seat on the left, and several Xianbei generals took their seats one by one.

Ke Bi Neng clapped his hands, and several musicians sat down at the door of the tent and began to play.Several blond orchids with deep noses and high eyes came over, took off their heavy coats, revealed light dance clothes, kicked off the leather boots on their feet, stepped on the thick carpet with white soles, tiptoed ,dance to tune.

Listening to exotic music and looking at Hu Ji's soft and boneless waist, Jiang Gan raised his glass with a smile.

"Thank you, Marshal, for your kind hospitality, I am very grateful."

Ke Bineng also laughed. "The envoys came all the way, how dare I neglect it. It's just that after the new defeat, the supplies are limited, and that's all I can get. When the emperor's reinforcements arrive and help me defeat Guishuang, then I will reward you with generous gifts."

Jiang Gan and Xun Yun exchanged glances and smiled slightly. "Why should the commander-in-chief fight for a moment? Although Guishuang is good, how can it compare to the vast grassland promised by the emperor?"
