I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 194 When Cao Cao comes, there will be a blue sky

Bingzhou, Xihe County.

A group of business travelers are heading to Taiyuan County.

These days, officials are exploiting each other, and businessmen who dare to do business across counties have their own methods.

This group of people was doing horse business with the Huns.

Of course, I also do other business along the way.

From time to time, whips and shouts were heard from the caravan.

It was not just the horses that were beaten, but also the people.

Seeing that the pass was not far away, one of the caravan members found the steward and said: "Brother, I am still worried, so I made the Xiongnu Lieutenant General issue a strict order to prohibit the smuggling of Huns into slaves. We are like this now..."

The steward patted his brother on the shoulder and explained: "Although we bought these Huns from the Husband Chief Hu with money. But Xiao Wu, you have to remember that to the outside world, we only say that we are hiring these Huns. People take care of the horses.”

Xiao Wu looked at the Huns who were tied in a string. Their number was limited compared to the horses, and he thought, who can be deceived by this excuse?

The steward added: "The Huns' Zhonglang General is very strict and does not accept our gifts, but the people around him are different."

As soon as he ran in front of the horse and was about to speak, the steward heard a crack of a whip, and then he felt burning pain in his shoulders and back.

But just as he finished shouting, he saw Han troops emerging from the woods nearby, and soon there were Han cavalry blocking the road.

Just walking, the steward who was familiar with the road suddenly felt a little strange. He was very experienced and immediately thought, shouldn't the surrounding woods be so quiet at this time of year? Is it possible that the Huns came from being a thief?

He was about to speak when he heard the sound of horse hooves. The steward quickly asked his men to mount their horses. If the Huns came who wanted to rob, as long as one person escaped from their caravan, these Huns would die without a burial place.

When Xiao Wu saw that Cao Hong was only in his early twenties, he originally looked heroic, but as soon as he got the gold, he suddenly became a philistine, and he was completely different from before.

When the latter heard this, he immediately became excited and did not care about selling the Huns.

Afterwards, the steward led the caravan to the checkpoint smoothly.

Thinking that there would be no chance to accept bribes so openly in the future, Cao Hong suddenly felt a little regretful.

Upon hearing this, the two of them thanked Cao Hong and hurriedly said goodbye.

This is what he is familiar with as an official! Xiao Wu also breathed a sigh of relief and quickly joined his elder brother in flattering him.

Later, Cao Hong stood on the pass and watched the group leave. At the same time, he calculated in his mind that there would only be a group of such businessmen left in the future.

The steward and Xiaowu met Cao Hong under the leadership of the soldiers. The steward offered the gold that he had prepared, and Cao Hong accepted it without hesitation.

On the other side, after the caravan left the pass, they kept Cao Hong's words in mind and sped up their journey. The sound of whips in the team became more frequent.

Cao Hong did not refuse this visitor, and gritted his teeth and said: "I should have left you here to stay, but my brother will come to inspect in a few days. You will hurry up and leave soon!"

"General, we are not ordinary businessmen..."

"The man guarding the front checkpoint is named Cao Hong. He is very greedy for money. This time I will take you to meet him. After a few more visits, you should try to sell horses first and become your own man."

The steward quickly dismounted, took out the gold from the package, and trotted all the way to give it to the officer who seemed to be the leader.

"How does the whip taste?" Xiahou Dun raised the whip in his hand, pointed it at the whipped Huns, and asked coldly.

Snapped!

"General..."

Snapped!Snapped!

"General, spare your life!"

Xiahou Dun snorted coldly: "The Wang family behind you is nothing more than a clown. It won't be long before they come to accompany you! Second and third sons, capture them all!" After that, Xiahou Dun rode forward, The steward who was left lying on the ground was filled with fear.

……

Cao Cao was different from Dong Zhuo in that he would not call himself brother to the Huns, but he had gained the respect of the Huns after he had been in office for more than half a year.

Because when he does things, he focuses on fairness.

In the past, the Huns were often sold into slavery by powerful officials. Dong Zhuo was concerned and could only treat the symptoms but did not dare to treat the root cause.

But now, Cao Cao is here, and the sky is clear.

Did the powerful officials collude to rob the Huns and make them slaves? The leader of the Xiongnu tribe took the initiative to sell his tribe?

For Cao Cao, there is no difference between the two sides. Those who should be killed and buried should be killed. Those with lighter crimes will be taken as prisoners to guard the border and farm the fields.

These trafficked Huns are his future population achievements, so how could they be stolen by others?

The Qiangqu Chanyu respected and feared Cao Cao, who was decisive in killing him.

What Qiang Qu respected was that after Cao Cao took over Dong Zhuo's charge of Huns affairs, he drew divisions and fought again and again. Through various means, the Huns scattered in Bingzhou were once again united under the royal court.

What he was afraid of was Cao Cao's courage and methods.

Qiangqu fully cooperated with Cao Cao's request.

We dare not resist, and we will never dare to resist in this life. The Han army currently stationed in the Xiongnu Palace has also added an elite Xiyuan Army.

Qiang Qu was well aware of his image among the Huns, and he could only maintain his life like this under the protection of the Han army.

Only under the protection of the Han army could the Xiongnu royal court feel like home.

Moreover, with the help of Cao Cao, Qiang Qu had a new goal.

After hearing Cao Cao's summons, Qiang Qu went to see him with complicated emotions.

"Chanyu, I'm so happy!" Cao Cao stretched out his hand to signal Qiang Qu to sit down.

"Your Majesty has agreed to Shan Yu's request. As for when to send troops to Liang to quell the rebellion, it depends on the arrangements of Zuo General Huangfu Gong."

"Furthermore, Your Majesty has promised to use the Huns as officials. As long as the Huns can understand the classics, I think the day will not be far when the Chanyu will become a prince of the Han Dynasty!"

Qiang Qu happily said: "Thank you so much, Mr. Cao, for your help. I wonder when General Zuo is going to mobilize his troops? I can arrange for my son Yu Fuluo to lead his elite troops there."

Qiang Qu learned from Cao Cao that Jin Rixi, the Tuogu minister, who was from the Huns during Emperor Wu's reign. Now that the Xiongnu royal court is full of swords and swords all day long, it's not that Qiang Qu also wants to be Tuogu minister, but given his current situation, he might as well become one. A prince who lives on his salary and provides for his old age does not have to worry about waking up from his sleep one day and hearing about the rebellion of various tribes.

He also heard about the experience of Tun Tu, the Hu Cavalry Sima of the Northern Army, in the Northern Army. The emperor was actually willing to depose a well-known celebrity for the sake of Tun Tu and the Huns' righteous obedience.

Qiang Qu believes that he still has room for improvement.

"Don't worry, Shanyu. If General Zuo wants to summon you, he will definitely send an envoy." Cao Cao changed his subject, "But before that, there is something that needs Shanyu's help."

Cao Cao stared at Qiang Canal: "There is a Huyan clan in Linshui County. Its leader disobeyed my order and sold the clan members as slaves. Shanyu should help me get rid of them!"
