Chapter 143 Farewell
Beigong Ling was sandwiched between Liu Xuan and Lu Bu, and the Xianbei people on both sides kept falling. She didn't need to defend both sides at all.

Although her riding skills are more exquisite than the two of them, the gold-inlaid sword is inferior to the dragon spear and Fang Tian's painted halberd.
The efficiency of killing enemies is still a bit lower.

How could the proud Bei Gongling endure this?

Straightening up on his horse, Bei Gongling looked forward, and sure enough he saw the Xianbei general a hundred meters ahead.

Beigong Ling fought with the Xianbei cavalry several times and knew that in the battle formation of the Xianbei cavalry, the generals usually followed the vanguard troops, and the more cautious generals would hide in the rear formations.

Seeing that his enemy-killing efficiency was not as good as that of Liu Xuan and Lu Bu, Bei Gongling pinched the horse's belly and raised the horse to its maximum speed.

With excellent riding skills, he shuttled among the Xianbei cavalry formations.

Without deliberately fighting the oncoming Xianbei cavalry, Beigong Ling quickly led Liu Xuan and Lu Bu by a large margin.

Her target was the Xianbei cavalry general. After evading more than a dozen Xianbei cavalry attacks, the Xianbei general also discovered Beigong Ling.

How dare a mere prostitute dare to ride alone into the formation?
The Xianbei general stared at Bei Gong Ling with vulture-like eyes, and tightened his grip on the mace in his hand.

He quickened his horse speed and rushed towards Bei Gong Ling.

The cavalry next to him automatically took a detour, leaving enough space for the general.

The Xianbei general swung his mace and swiped at Bei Gong Ling. The mace had sharp iron nails. If it was rubbed, the skin and flesh would be torn.

Beigong Ling saw that the Xianbei general was attacking with all his strength. Even though she only had a short sword, she didn't dare to carry it hard. She fell backward, almost lying on her back on the horse. She raised the scimitar in her hand and lifted the mace. Get up, this round, the two of them passed each other, and no one took advantage.

Bei Gongling did not continue to rush forward, but turned around and continued to rush towards the general.

War horses galloped, gold and iron clashed, the Xianbei general was full of brute strength, and his weapons were heavy and long, and Bei Gong Ling was unable to get close for a moment.

When the Xianbei cavalry next to them saw that their general was being attacked, they stopped their horses and surrounded Beigong Ling and their general.

The situation suddenly became unfavorable for Bei Gong Ling. The Xianbei general could withdraw from the battle at any time, but Bei Gong Ling was already surrounded. If he made a careless move, Bei Gong Ling would be overwhelmed by the Xianbei cavalry.

Bei Gongling also caught a glimpse of the surrounding situation, and felt a little rash in her heart.

But the next moment, the surrounding Xianbei cavalry suddenly fell on their backs, but Liu Xuan and Lu Bu, one on the left and one on the right, broke through the encirclement of the Xianbei cavalry and came in.

The two of them had a tacit understanding and did not join the battle between Beigong Ling and the Xianbei general. Instead, they quickly rushed up from both sides with their men and horses, killing the Xianbei cavalry surrounding the perimeter one by one.

Beigong Ling immediately understood that the two of them were creating conditions for a duel with General Xianbei. He no longer hesitated at that moment. He drew a sword with a gold-encrusted sword in his hand, the horse accelerated, and General Bei of North Korea rushed over.

After several previous confrontations, Bei Gongling had figured out the tactics of the Xianbei general.
This time, facing the heavy mace of General Xianbei, Bei Gongling did not dodge, but faced the roaring mace, pulled the reins, and the war horse immediately turned and rushed towards General Xianbei.

Originally Bei Gong Ling's body was under the mace, but now because the war horse was approaching, Bei Gong Ling finally closed the distance between the two to the attack distance of the scimitar.

At this time, the wooden handle of the mace had almost hit Bei Gongling's chest.

Bei Gong Ling's expression was stern, he raised his scimitar with both hands and slashed hard in front of him.

The place where this knife struck was the wrist of the Xianbei general.

Due to the inertia caused by the heavy mace, General Xianbei had no time to make any changes and watched his hands hit Bei Gong Ling's blade.

Blood splattered as a pair of hands grasped the wooden handle of the mace and flew past Bei Gong Ling's eyes.

This was a risky attack. If Bei Gongling's sword did not hit the Xianbei general's wrist, she would be knocked away by the wooden handle of the mace.

However, it was a successful attack.

General Xianbei flew his hands and weapons together, screamed, and raised his hands without palms in front of his eyes, but Bei Gongling didn't give him another chance to look. With a swipe of the scimitar, he cut off General Xianbei's head.

As soon as the main general died, the morale of the Xianbei cavalry was suddenly depleted. The remaining people retreated to the opposite side to form a formation. A deputy general came out of the formation and said angrily to Bei Gong Ling: "Who are you? Do you know the consequences of angering us Xianbei people?" ?”

Bei Gong Ling shook the blood on his knife, pointed at the headless corpse on the ground and replied coldly: "I am Bei Gong Ling, the leader of the Qiang king. I will tell you when I go back to tell you that Xianbei Khan dares to invade my Qiang Hu territory. This is End."

The Xianbei deputy general stared straight at Beigong Ling and said, "So you are the leader of the Qiang and Hu, and you are indeed ruthless. Okay, we Xianbei people will remember this."

The deputy general of Xianbei said a harsh word, and it seemed that he was not planning to attack again.

In this wave of charge just now, his two thousand Xianbei cavalry were attacked by Liu Xuan in three directions. There were 700 casualties, including the general, who was also beheaded by Beigong Ling in the formation.

Obviously, if the battle continues at this moment, his more than 1000 Xianbei cavalry will definitely not get any benefits. He can only report the matter to the Khan and let the Khan make a decision.

The deputy general raised his hand and said unwillingly: "Back off."

"Stop!" Liu Xuan's voice came, calling the deputy general to a stop.

"By the way, Khan, the Qiang and Hu territory has come under the jurisdiction of my big Han. If the Xianbei people want to take action against the Qiang and Hu, they will be enemies of my big Han. I will never sit idly by."

"who are you?"

"General Liu Xuan of the Han Dynasty conquering the north."

The deputy general turned to look at Bei Gong Ling. Seeing that Bei Gong Ling, the leader of the Qiang and Hu, did not refute, he knew that what Liu Xuan said was true.

"Okay," Xianbei Lieutenant General said fiercely, "I will report the truth to the Khan."

The Xianbei cavalry left Chilechuan in a hurry and retreated along the Yinshan Mountains in the distance.

Liu Xuan and the others continued walking west for a while, and Bei Gongling took the initiative and said,

"General, there is no need to be like this. The Xianbei people are powerful and warlike. They will not give up the southern invasion just because of your threats."

"I guess this time the Xianbei people went south because the news of our defeat in Hedong had spread. They have been coveting the rich water and grassland in the Hetao Plain. After this winter, it is estimated that there will be no peace here."

Bei Gongling said this with a tone full of worry and a sense of powerlessness.

In the battle between the Qianghu and Liu Xuan, almost all the people who could fight were killed or injured. If Xianbei really went south, the remaining Qianghu people would not be able to escape.

Liu Xuan said calmly: "This is not a threat. Since the Qiang and Hu clan have surrendered to the Han Dynasty, the Qiang and Hu people's affairs are my Liu Xuan's business. As long as the Xianbei people don't come, if they dare to invade, then I have to kill them all in advance." Destroy."

Beigong Ling couldn't help but trembled when she heard Liu Xuan's words.

When Liu Xuan said "annihilate them all", they really meant "annihilate them all" literally.

When the Qiang and Hu cavalry invaded Hedong County, Liu Xuan also said this on the day he sent troops.

At that time, this sentence reached Bei Gong Ling's ears, and Bei Gong Ling dismissed it.

Just a few months later, the Qiang and Hu cavalry in Hedong were really killed and wounded, and Bei Gongling himself became Liu Xuan's prisoner.Only this time Liu Xuan said these words to protect the Qiang and Hu clan.

Bei Gongling had complicated emotions for a while, with mixed feelings.

"With him here, I shouldn't have to worry so much, right?" Thinking of this, Bei Gongling felt a little relaxed.

It was already a month later when everyone returned to Jincheng again.

The chill of early winter has set in, and the grasslands outside Jincheng are all withered and yellow, but the pasture where grass seeds were sown last time is green.

Bei Gongling followed Liu Xuan to the pasture, and saw that the pasture was very lush, with green leaves, full and juicy leaves, and it looked like high-quality pasture.

The war horses in the pasture are chewing the grass greedily. In just over a month, these war horses, which were originally emaciated due to lack of food, have become fat and strong, with shiny coats and look very healthy.

Bei Gongling was finally convinced that Liu Xuan was right before and that this kind of grass could indeed grow in winter.

Then the problem of wintering for herdsmen on the grassland will be solved.

Bei Gongling felt much relaxed both physically and mentally for a moment.

On the way back, Liu Xuan and Bei Gongling passed by several yurts, which were inhabited by Qiang Hu who had stayed in the Hetao Plain.

However, there is no young man outside these yurts, only a few old men and women, plus a group of women and children.

Some old men and women are herding sheep outside, while the remaining women take care of the children and do some housework together.

To Bei Gongling's surprise, when they passed the yurt, they heard the sound of children playing inside.

Bei Gongling couldn't help being attracted by these happy sounds and walked into the yurt to take a look.

It happened that several women came out of the tent. They were all herdsmen near Jincheng, so they naturally recognized Bei Gongling.

He quickly fell to the ground and greeted Bei Gongling.

Bei Gongling asked the question she was most concerned about: "Winter is coming, are you all ready?"

The Qiang Hu woman said: "Thank you, Chief, for your concern. The food for winter this year is very abundant, and you no longer have to go hungry."

"Really?" Bei Gongling said happily.

"It's true. The Han soldiers have allocated enough food to us, and the cattle and sheep still have tender grass to eat. The food for the winter is definitely enough."

The woman explained to Bei Gong Ling with joy on her face. She looked up and saw Liu Xuan behind Bei Gong Ling. Although her face was a little unnatural, after all, the young and strong soldiers in this area were all killed by Liu Xuan's army.

But after thinking about it, the woman still said timidly to Liu Xuan: "Thank you, General."

All the way back to Jincheng, Bei Gongling was still in a state of confusion.

The woman's thank you completely disrupted her mood.

In her opinion, the Qiang and Hu people and Liu Xuan were life-and-death enemies, and the woman's man died at the hands of Liu Xuan's army, so she should hate Liu Xuan even more.

However, today the woman did not show much hatred. Instead, she expressed her gratitude to Liu Xuan because the whole family had received enough food.

Speaking of which, in this battle, the Qiang and Hu people were the first to attack Han territory and rob the Han people of their property and population. It was reasonable for Liu Xuan to launch a counterattack.

Even for the nomads, even if Liu Xuan really implemented an extermination policy against the Qiang and Hu after he occupied the Hetao Plain, they had nothing to say. Such examples were not uncommon when tribes on the grasslands were fighting.

Another month passed, and all the 30 shi of food arranged by Liu Xuan had been collected. After being distributed to the Qiang and Hu people of various tribes, nearly [-] shi were left. Liu Xuan simply handed it all over to Bei Gongling.

After getting along with each other for a long time, although Bei Gong Ling was nominally Liu Xuan's hostage, he only treated her as a subordinate on weekdays. When encountering government affairs that Bei Gong Ling couldn't handle, Liu Xuan would take the initiative to teach him.

The first snow of winter falls, announcing the official arrival of winter in the Hetao Plain.

The Xianbei people didn't launch an attack before the snow started, so they basically wouldn't come out again before spring.

Xu Chong has taught thousands of Qiang and Hu people how to improve the soil and grow winter wheat.

The winter wheat on the entire west bank of the river has grown to nearly one meter high and is growing very well in the snow. The herdsmen are planting wheat for the first time and are looking forward to the harvest next spring.

After Shen Fu purchased enough cattle and sheep, he and Xu Chong returned to Yangzhou.

The winter in the north is cold, so only Liu Xuan can call them.

Just a few days after the peaceful days, the arrival of a messenger brought Liu Xuan's leisurely days to an end immediately.

The mutants on the Japanese island have already attacked the coast of Yangzhou. Sun Quan is leading the fleet to stop them with all his strength, but he seems to be unable to resist them anymore and asks Liu Xuan for help.

What Liu Xuan was worried about still happened. Although many mutants were killed last winter, mutants with special contagiousness can quickly turn ordinary people into mutants.

After a whole year of spreading, Liu Xuan himself didn't know how far the mutant had developed.

Yangzhou is Liu Xuan's rear area and is densely populated. If mutants really break through, the consequences will be disastrous.

Without further ado, Liu Xuan immediately decided to assemble the army within three days and prepare to return to Yangzhou to aid.

Bei Gong Ling naturally learned the news and seemed a little panicked for a while. During this period, she had become accustomed to Liu Xuan making the final arrangements for everything. She just had to do what Liu Xuan told her to do.

Seeing that Liu Xuan had managed the Qiang and Hu clan in an orderly manner and suddenly said he wanted to leave, Bei Gongling couldn't adapt.

"What happened to me? As a hostage, I should be hoping that Liu Xuan will leave soon. Why are you still relying on him?"

Bei Gongling was deep in thought with these doubts in her mind, but found that her feelings for Liu Xuan were already so complicated that she could not distinguish them.

At night, Liu Xuan entered the room and prepared to rest.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Liu Xuan opened the door and saw Bei Gongling standing at the door holding a food box. Behind him were two Liu Xuan's guards.

"Lord, if the leader of Beigong insists on coming in, we can't stop him."

Liu Xuan looked at the food box in Bei Gong Ling's hand and saw that Bei Gong Ling looked a little disappointed. He sighed and said to the two guards: "It doesn't matter. Leader Bei Gong also has good intentions. You can go down. You don't need to be on duty anymore."

Bei Gongling entered the room, put the food box on the table, and then said quietly:

"The general is leaving. I have prepared some prairie food and wine to see you off."

It was rare for Liu Xuan to see Bei Gong Ling looking so docile, so he could only say,

"The chief is interested. The matter is really serious and I have to go back to Yangzhou. Come on, please sit down. No need to be polite."
