Chapter 983 The Bird of Fright
Although Vivian didn't take Xun Yun's self-confidence seriously, she was still very lucky.

At least I don't have to worry about being buried.

After inquiring about Vivian's background with Xun Yun, Shen You took Vivian back to his tent.

Without Xun Yun as the interpreter, Shen You could only communicate with Vivian through gestures.Fortunately, Vivienne had been serving Tang Suhe for a few days, so she knew what to do as a maid.Without Shen You's instructions, she tidied up Shen You's somewhat messy tent.

When Tang Suhe came to see Shen You with a Hun female slave who was proficient in Chinese, she frowned and muttered something when she looked at Vivian, who was as docile as a sheep.

"When I was there, why didn't I see her so obedient."

Shen You ignored her complaints, asked the Huns to translate for him, and asked Vivian how many relatives were still in the camp.

Vivienne's face darkened, and she said that there were more than a dozen people.

Their tribe marched eastward all the way, fighting the Xianbei people continuously, winning first and then losing, and suffered heavy losses.There were hundreds of people left in the whole tribe, and more than [-] people were captured together with her, and half of them died within a few days.

The Xianbei were cruel to their captives.

Because of the shortage of food, the prisoners could only eat one meal a day and had to do heavy work.If you don't obey, you may be killed on the spot.

Shen You was not surprised by this.

Tang Suhe was only a child less than ten years old, and he would yell, beat and kill at every turn, which was obvious to the others.If it wasn't for him, Vivienne should have survived for a few days.

Shen You immediately said to Tang Suhe, you go to your father, I want to bring those dozen captives here, I can agree to whatever conditions he wants, as long as I can do it.

Tang Suhe blinked his eyes. "Really?"

Shen You nodded solemnly. "a man of his words."

Vivienne was curious, not knowing what Shen You and Tang Suhe were talking about.The Xiongnu female slave translated to her, and she was overjoyed immediately, knelt on the ground, hugged Shen You's feet and kissed repeatedly.

Shen You was very embarrassed, and Tang Suhe curled his lips one after another.

Leaving the Huns behind, Tang Suhe happily left.

-

Ke Bineng and Cheng Gongying came back from hunting, and as soon as they entered the camp, they heard about the martial arts competition between Shen You and the female slave, which shocked everyone.

He was surprised.

He has seen the bravery of red-haired ghosts before, and women are also very dangerous.Shen You is known as the three wonders, it is not surprising that he can defeat his opponent, but it is a bit scary to defeat him so easily.

Back in the tent, before he could sit still, Tang Suhe rushed up and hugged his neck.

"Abba, I want to get married."

"Marry?" Kebi couldn't help laughing, picked up his daughter and put it on his lap. "Who did you fall in love with?"

"Mr. Shen."

"Mr. Shen?" Ke Bineng frowned and hesitated for a moment. "This is a bit difficult. Mr. Shen is not an ordinary person. He is a son of a rich family. He is both civil and military. He is young and promising. How can he marry you? Besides, you are still so young."

Tang Suhe leaned into Ke Bineng's ear and told about Shen You's plan to redeem the Vivian tribe.

Kebi could hear it, but still shook his head again and again.

A dozen captives wanted Shen You to marry Tang Suhe, which he felt was unrealistic.Even if he was willing to take a step back and let Tang Su be his concubine, Shen You might not agree.

Shen You said it frankly, so naturally he didn't expect Tang Suhe to have such thoughts.

After all, Tang Suhe was too young.

After thinking about it, he sent someone to invite Xun Yun, and asked Xun Yun to come up with some ideas, and see if he could raise them.

Xun Yun also felt that this matter was too absurd, and it was impossible for Shen You to agree.

Vivienne is just a maid, and her clan's life and death are not enough to affect Shen You's decision, let alone marriage.

Tang Suhe lost his temper and clamored to propose marriage by himself.

Kebi Neng quickly grabbed her.

Having worked with Xun Yun for so long, he already knew that the Han people valued etiquette, especially the children of the gentry.Tang Suhe's initiative to propose marriage will only make Shen You look down upon him, and the marriage has no chance of success.

Xun Yun finally had an idea.

This matter cannot be rushed, anyway, Tang Suhe is still young, and it will take at least five or six years before he can get married.

If Kebi could make meritorious service during this period, be promoted to an official rank, and become an important minister of the court, it might not be so troublesome to mention marriage at that time.

Kebi could finish listening with a look of embarrassment on his face.

He pondered for a while, then said to Xun Yun: "Has Chang Shi ever heard of the Romans?"

Xun Yun knew it well. "I heard that as early as in Liangzhou, there was a Roman businessman named Anthony beside the emperor."

"Then do you know that there are Romans on the northern shore of the Black Sea?"

"I know." Xun Yun smiled.

Ke Bi Neng felt a little guilty. "I've heard that Rome, like the great Han, is a big country that spans thousands of miles. Those red-haired ghosts fled eastward after being defeated by the Romans. I'm worried..."

"Are you worried that if you are not an opponent of the Romans, you will not be able to gain a foothold on the northern shore of the Black Sea?"

"Yes...." Ke Bi Neng gritted his teeth and admitted that he lacked self-confidence.

Xun Yun smiled, slowly lifted the teapot on the table, poured a cup of steaming milk tea, and pushed it in front of Ke Bineng.

"The commander-in-chief until now, still feel that he is fighting alone?"

Ke Bi Neng stared at Xun Yun, hesitant to speak.

"If the commander is really fighting alone, you really can't defeat the Romans. You are likely to be like the Huns, working hard with the local barbarians in order to survive. Or, like these red-haired ghosts, wandering around."

Ke Bi Neng said nothing, but his eyes flickered.

"If you change your mind and see yourself as a part of the big man, you shouldn't have such an idea. Not to mention the army led by the emperor himself, just say that now, you also have the assistance of the Western Regions Protectorate."

Xun Yun laughed twice. "Of course, it's human nature for the commander-in-chief to have concerns. Anyway, there is still time, we might as well understand the situation first, find out the strength and deployment of the Romans, and then decide whether to attack. If there are Romans on the northern shore of the Black Sea It would be too hasty to stand still."

Ke Bi Neng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

Xun Yun said a few more things and got up to leave.

Ke Bi Neng sat and thought for a while, and said to Tang Suhe: "Just according to Xun Changshi, let's give the person to Mr. Shen first, which can be regarded as a good relationship. If you study and practice martial arts with Mr. Shen, if you can be like Ma Guiren, you can do it yourself. Earn a marquis, maybe you don’t need to ask for help.”

Tang Suhe was a little frustrated, but he had no choice but to pout his lips in response.

After Xun Yun got out of the tent, he immediately went to find Shen You.

Hearing that Tang Suhe wanted to marry him, Shen You was very surprised and couldn't laugh or cry.

Although the barbarian folk customs are open and informal, but thinking about getting married at such a young age is beyond his expectations.

But Xun Yun is not concerned about this matter.

He told Shen You that Ke Bineng was too wary, and the idea of ​​preserving strength was deeply rooted, and his plan to use him as a forward might not be realized.While there is still time, maybe we can adjust the plan and make another preparation.

For example, gather barbarians and build a new army.

Barbarians like Vivienne can be used as an alternative, and their combat effectiveness may not be inferior to the Xianbei.

Of course, such a major change requires the consent of the emperor and cannot be self-assessed.When necessary, the emperor may be supported.

Shen You felt reasonable and immediately agreed.
