The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 370 Forced to Send Out Troops
Is there anything more gratifying than seeing your opponent frustrated?

Yan Rou and the other two were very happy when they saw the appearance of Kebineng and Budugen.

However, Kebineng and Budugen felt as uncomfortable as if they had eaten a fly. The three people in front of them were the natives of Youzhou. They were familiar with all the tribes on the grassland and knew the strengths and weaknesses of the grassland.

Back then, the Xianbei tribes still used Yan Rou and others to contact Liu Yu, Yuan Shao and others, and the two sides could be said to be friends, but now Kebineng and others have other calculations and do not want Qin Shou to know.

But the presence of these three people in front of him will affect his plans.

"The Prime Minister knew that the two Khans had arrived, so he asked the three of us to wait here for a long time." Yan Rou looked at the two of them with a smile. Her eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, making people feel extremely uncomfortable.

"I wonder where the prime minister is? Let the three of us go and pay him a visit." Ke Bineng asked hurriedly.

"The Wuhuan have occupied Liucheng, and the Prime Minister's troops have already reached Liucheng." Yan Rou chuckled and said, "You two have come at the right time. Little Tadun actually dared to offend the majesty of heaven. The Prime Minister has decided to defeat the Wuhuan, and it is time for you two to make contributions."

Kebinen and Budugen looked at each other. Something seemed to be wrong. The other party had already rushed to Liucheng as soon as they came, and did not take their audience seriously at all.

Is this the demeanor of the Central Plains dynasty?

If you think about it carefully, it is true. All dynasties in the Central Plains have been high and mighty. Qin Shou could even defeat Yuan Shao's army of hundreds of thousands, so how could he possibly look down on me?

"Then let's go to Liucheng. The Wuhuan are despicable. They actually colluded with the rebels. We really can't stand it, so we led our troops to come and help." Budugen said hurriedly.

He didn't expect that Qin Shou would act so quickly. Without even waiting for his arrival, he launched an attack on Wuhuan and directly entered Liucheng.

Is the other party so sure?

"The soldiers are eager to attack and to gain merit. In my Cavalry Army, the Prime Minister clearly distinguishes between rewards and punishments. As long as you have made merit, you will get everything. If you have no merit, no matter who you are, you will get no benefits." Xianyu Fu said dimly.

Kebineng and Budugen looked at each other. The other seemed to be talking about himself, but it seemed that he didn't say anything.

"The Prime Minister is very happy that you two have come to help in the battle. The next step may be to establish a trade market in Yunzhong and other places, or you can trade with us in the Bailang Mountain area." Tian Yu chuckled.

"That's right, that's right." Ke Bineng felt a little unhappy.

Help? How could it be possible to help? The three thousand elite soldiers he brought with him were his personal soldiers, brave and good at fighting. The loss of any one of them would make him heartbroken. How could they possibly participate in the war?
These three thousand troops are only here to watch the battle, to watch you fight and compare your strength, and finally to decide what attitude they should take towards the Central Plains.

"When we join forces, we have nearly 10,000 troops. How about it, both of you, are you willing to lend a helping hand to us and establish meritorious services? Then, when the Prime Minister lets us take charge of the northern border someday, we can cooperate happily with each other." Yan Rou chuckled.

Although his face was full of smiles, the murderous intent in his eyes was still faintly visible, which made people angry, but there was no way to refuse or resist.

Because he had the entire Han Dynasty behind him, with powerful troops, Ke Bineng and the others did not dare to have any other thoughts for the time being. "General, if you have any instructions, just say it."

Ke Bineng said immediately.

Now that things have come to this point, he can no longer refuse. His hegemony has not yet been achieved, and he has not yet completely controlled the tribe. Once the Han border is ready for trade, the tribe will still need Yan Rou. In this case, it is better to make friends with the other party in advance.

"That's right, General, you and I are old acquaintances. Just tell me if you have any instructions." Budugen was also a powerful figure, and naturally he was unwilling to be left behind, so he asked immediately.

"To go to Liucheng, one way is to advance from inside the Great Wall, and the other way is to attack from the grassland. I plan to go to Liucheng from the grassland. What do you think?" Yan Rou explained.

Although both sides could reach Liucheng, what they experienced were different. From inside the Great Wall, both sides passed through the northern border of the Han Dynasty, with food and grass supplies along the way, so it was very safe.

However, if we attack from the north of the Great Wall, although it is all grassland, we will encounter enemies along the way. The territory north of Youbeiping belongs to Wuhuan. If an army of 10,000 goes from the grassland to Liucheng, we will have to fight with various Wuhuan tribes.

War will result in death, which is contrary to the original intention of the two men coming to visit Qin Shou.

"The two khans, we are all familiar with each other. We all know what you are thinking. You want to get benefits without paying anything, but it is impossible for you to achieve it with the prime minister." Xianyu Fu saw the expressions of the two men and sneered, "I don't want to deceive you. The Cavalry Army attaches the most importance to military merit. The generals under the prime minister have long wanted to sweep across the desert. Do you think that with your troops, you can resist the prime minister's power?"

The two men's faces changed when they heard this. If they were not weak, why would they come to see Qin Shou? Now the three people on the opposite side asked them to lead the army to attack Wuhuan.

Isn't this obviously a loss of troops? What can three thousand cavalrymen do? By the time they reach Liucheng, there's no telling how many will be left!

But if I don’t agree, I’m afraid it will be difficult to pass this hurdle.

"Wuhuan will be a powerful enemy of you sooner or later. You have come to see the prime minister now, aren't you trying to borrow the Han army to destroy Wuhuan? But if you don't contribute in the war to destroy Wuhuan, how can the prime minister hand over the land of Wuhuan to you?" Tian Yu sneered.

After hearing this, Kebi Neng hurriedly smiled bitterly and said, "General, you are joking. It's not that we don't want to cooperate, but we are worried that our troops are insufficient. Why don't you let me recruit troops and call on the tribal army to cooperate with the court and completely eliminate the Wuhuan and Suli troops."

"Yes, yes, we have only brought 3,000 soldiers this time. How can we support the Prime Minister? We are willing to mobilize the elite troops in our tribe to join the Prime Minister's army and conquer the Wuhuan." Budugen said immediately.

Since we are all going to join the battle, we might as well maximize the benefits, send all the troops forward, and use the power of the Han Dynasty to completely defeat the Wuhuan. Then, we will see how the court will deal with this matter.

Yan Rou burst into laughter when he heard this. He understood what the two meant and said immediately, "That's great. I believe the Prime Minister will be very happy when he knows this. However, the military situation is urgent and it is too late for you two to go back and mobilize troops. In this case, why don't we go first and the two Khans can send people back to mobilize troops, and the reinforcements will come later. How do you think?"

Yan Rou believed that by the time the Xianbei reinforcements arrived, the war would be over.

"The general is very thoughtful." Ke Bineng forced a smile.
