Chapter 429 Nara Yanshi
"King Su Puyan?"

Su Yao really had no impression of this name.

But it was just a small and unknown fish, and it was already dead. I never expected it to be dug up again.

Lu Bu was a little speechless after seeing this, and said after a pause:
"Just as Qiuliju unified and led the various Wuhuan tribes in western Liaoning, the Wuhuan chieftains in other border counties of Youzhou followed suit, either by force or through marriage, and ceded land and proclaimed themselves kings."

"This Qiao Wang Su Puyan is the most powerful faction among the Liaodong vassal states. More than half of the Wuhuan tribes in the territory once obeyed his orders."

"I see." Su Yao nodded, "Then this Nara Yanshi is his wife?"

"Yes."

Lu Bu smiled slightly, with a hint of amusement in his eyes:
"This Nara Yanshi is Su Puyan's wife, and she is also the leader of the most powerful force in the Liaodong vassal state today."

"Oh?" Su Yao raised his eyebrows. "I didn't expect that in this male-dominated Wuhuan tribe, there is actually a female leader."

But what surprised him even more was obviously...
"Brother Lu has just arrived in Liaodong, but he knows the situation of this vassal tribe very well."

"It's really rare."

"Could she be a beauty?"

However, who would have thought that Lu Bu glared at him and laughed, saying, "You kid are lazy all day long and don't care enough."

However, thinking of the difference in their status now, these words only passed through Lu Bu's mind and he never said them out loud.

Then another thing came up:

"Do you remember Lou Ban?"

"Who?"

"Qiuliju's son."

Lu Bu held his forehead and said:
"This Nara Yanshi is the eldest daughter of Louban."

"I noticed this man when you summoned Qiu Liju's harem after conquering Pinggang that day."

"That guy has a daughter?"

Back to that day, after destroying the Wuhuan in western Liaoning, Su Yao naturally did not forget to check whether he could complete his achievement of collecting grassland princesses.

Unfortunately, however, Naqiu Li's harem was filled with a bunch of unattractive concubines, and his eldest son Louban didn't even have a wife.

So, Su Yao put the matter behind him for the time being.

Anyway, there are still several Wuhuan tribes who claim to be kings, so there is no need to rush.

However, it was obvious that Lu Bu, Wei Ming and others were concerned about it.

Considering the trouble this prince had caused when he was in the Xiongnu, they were cautious this time.

It would have been fine if I hadn't checked, but when I did, I discovered such a strange woman.

Princess Nara lost her mother at a young age. She is the eldest daughter of Louban and the eldest granddaughter of Qiuliju.

She became the wife of Subuyan because Qiuliju wanted to win the support of the Qiaowang tribe, a vassal state of Liaodong, in this large-scale rebellion.

At that time, Su Puyan was in his thirties and had lost his wife in his prime, while the princess was just in her prime.

Therefore, Qiuliju deliberately married his granddaughter to him and gave her a large dowry. After that, the two families formed an alliance, in exchange for the reinforcements from Su Puyan. Together, they broke through the Lulong Pass and entered the interior of the country.

However, due to the sudden incident of the emperor's northern tour, Su Puyan did not have time to take the princess back to get married, so he followed Qiu Liju to the south.

The result was that she was killed by Su Yao in the battle, and the princess became a widow.

But even though my husband is dead, a marriage is still a marriage.

In order to continue to maintain the alliance with the Liaodong vassal state, Qiuliju also followed the custom. The 14-year-old princess then married Su Puyanchangzi, who was only 6 years old. With this relationship and Qiuliju's external aid, he controlled the tribes of the Liaodong vassal state.

"what the hell"

"A fifteen-year-old stepmother married to a seven-year-old stepson?"

Su Yao's mouth twitched when he heard this. The custom on the grassland was really shocking. However, he quickly regained his composure and continued to ask Lu Bu:

"So, our opponent is such a little girl?"

Lu Bu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said:

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be her."

"But now that Qiuliju's power has been destroyed, I don't know what will happen to them."

"As a woman, can she stabilize the situation without the help of her family?"

"But no matter what, they are the most likely suspects for ambushing our reinforcements this time. After all, we destroyed her family with our own hands."

Su Yao nodded, and then he heard Lu Bu continue:

"If they are really behind this, then our enemies may be more than just a thousand people."

"Should we notify Commander Gongsun?"

Zhao Yun suggested:
"The vassal state commander still has nearly two thousand soldiers under his command. We can have them dispatched to provide support to ensure safety."

I have to say, this is a good idea.

After coming to Youzhou recently, the casualty rate has gradually increased. Although nearly two thousand new soldiers have been acquired, except for the two hundred White Horse Volunteers, the training of others is really worrying, and they are far from being able to be used as elite main forces.

It is also a good choice to let allies and vassal troops share some of the pressure.

However, this thought only flashed through his mind before he rejected it:

"That's not necessary."

Su Yao's eyes flickered and he shook his head.

"Gongsun Zhao should not count on the Liaodong vassal state for the time being, as it is not a good idea to pin your hopes on others."

"How do you plan to respond, sir?" Lu Bu asked, with a fighting spirit in his eyes.

"Anyway, let's find Lao Song and the others first."

Su Yao snorted coldly, his face grim:

"Since this group of thieves dared to ambush our people, we must be prepared to bear the consequences."

"Pass the order down, the entire army speeds up!"

"Yanshi, the Han army has indeed marched out!"

On the plains of the Liaodong vassal state, in a nomadic camp surrounded by tents, a Wuhuan warrior hurried over and knelt on one knee in front of a girl in a brocade robe.

His expression couldn't hide his excitement.

Unexpectedly, their Yanshi was not only beautiful but also wise.

Not only did she lead them to stabilize the situation after hearing the tragic news of King Subuyan's death in battle, but even the shocking changes in the Qiuliju tribe did not knock her down.

This time, they designed a siege to lure the troublesome Han army out of the city, and it seemed that they were about to win another great victory.

However, compared to the warrior's excitement, Nara Yanshi was much calmer. She opened her red lips slightly and spoke calmly in a clear and slightly childish voice:
"Have you investigated carefully? Is it true that there are only 600 people as Gongsun Zhao said?"

The warrior nodded, then shook his head and said in a gentle voice:

"The Han army is very vigilant, and our scouts cannot get too close."

"But judging from the dust they raised and the noises they made, there should be no more than 600 to 700 people."

"Okay, reply to Gongsun Zhao and notify the leaders of each tribe. Everything will proceed according to the plan."

Nara Yanshi nodded slightly, with a hint of coldness in her eyes:
"This time, we will settle our national hatred and family feuds with that man!"
