The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 378 Liaodong
Watching the two men leading the army away, Qin Shou's face suddenly showed a trace of disdain.

"My lord, I'm afraid we can't fool them for long!" Pang Tong was a little worried.

Yes, all of this was a deception to Kebi Neng and Budugen. Gongsun Kang was timid, and when the Wuhuan occupied Liucheng, he did not dare to join forces with Tadun to attack Qin Shou.

Now that Tadun has failed, it is even more impossible for the enemy to attack Liucheng.

All of this was done to allow Qin Shou to withdraw from the pursuit of Wuhuan in a fair and honest manner. As long as Kebi and the other two left, Qin Shou could take the opportunity to escape.

Things turned out just as they had guessed. Ke Bineng and the other man did not doubt the source of Qin Shou's information. Although they felt helpless, they still left obediently.

Perhaps by the time the other party finds out, Qin Shou's army will have already arrived in Liucheng. At that time, will the other party turn against us?

Everyone is smart, and they must know what Qin Shou meant. Some things are not good if they are spoken out. You use me, I use you, and we are still allies and can get along well.

If you break this rule, you are the enemy.

"How can this be called deception? This is a white lie, just to give each other a way out." Qin Shou said indifferently.

What would it matter if he knew? Did he want to kill me? Do we still want to continue the trade?

As a tribal leader, both Kebi Neng and Budugen were smart men, and it was impossible for them to forget important matters for the sake of a little face.

"Let's go! Even if they know, they don't have time to deal with us. The Wuhuan people will not let them go." Qin Shou said indifferently.

At this moment, Tadun hated the Xianbei people even more.

We are all from different races. It would be fine if you didn't help me, but it is unreasonable that you helped others to deal with me, leading to your own defeat.

They beat me because I occupied their city. So who are you?

If nothing unexpected happened, the first thing Tadun would do after returning was to reorganize his troops and find trouble with the Xianbei people. Kebi Neng had no time to find trouble for himself.

"Send someone to contact Tadun and tell him that we can send people to trade with him in exchange for war horses, cattle and sheep. We will provide whatever they want, but it can only be done in private." Qin Shou suddenly thought of something and a proud look appeared on his face.

Eat the upper one, then eat the lower one. Why did the ugly country rise in the future? Wasn't it because it made money from the war, ate the upper one, and then ate the lower one? Qin Shou is now preparing to do this.

After defeating Kebi Neng and Budugen, it will be time to defeat Tadun. As long as both sides fight to a bloody defeat, the Central Plains can gain benefits and exchange for what it needs.

"Let people carve some exquisite things out of gold and jade, and then send them to the grassland to sell. Also send those silks and satins to the grassland. I believe the leaders of those tribes will definitely like them." Qin Shou said with a smile.

"My lord, do you want to corrupt these people's fighting spirit?" Pang Tong instantly understood what Qin Shou's purpose was. He wanted to corrupt these people's fighting spirit by using a luxurious life. When these people lost their fighting spirit, they would no longer have the intention to go south.

Although this is still a considerable period of time, Zhongyuan has enough time to plan this matter.

"In addition, the army will temporarily withdraw to Yecheng. The next step is to deal with Gongsun Kang." Qin Shou looked towards the northeast. He believed that Gongsun Kang must have known the situation of Wuhuan at this time. As for what choice the other party would make, it was unknown.

Northeast, Liaodong City, Gongsun Kang, who had just succeeded to the throne, met with the three Yuan Tan brothers. The Gongsun family was quite powerful in Liaodong. When his father Gongsun Du was alive, he was like an emperor in Liaodong. Because of this, after Gongsun Kang succeeded to the throne, he lived like an emperor. The three Yuan Tan brothers were not friendly troops here, but actually vassal troops.

"The news from Liucheng is that the Cavalry has defeated the Wuhuan and Tadun has escaped." Gongsun Kang had a gloomy face. He was even secretly thankful that he did not go to Liucheng.

"Envoy, Qin Shou's next target is us. We must unite together. Otherwise, destruction will be waiting for us." Yuan Tan hated in his heart.

The Gongsun Kang in front of him is a stupid man. When the Wuhuan people and Qin Shou were fighting, he did not go to help, but waited until the war was over before thinking of joining forces.

Yuan Tan believed that once Qin Shou really attacked Liaodong, he and his men would definitely not be the opponent's match. Now Yuan Tan was worried about his own future.

He was thinking whether to continue to the east. It was rumored that there was a country called Goguryeo in the east, which was very weak. Goguryeo was far away from the Central Plains. It would take a lot of money and food to go on an expedition. If Yuan Shi left Liaodong and went to Goguryeo, it might not be a bad idea. Following Gongsun Kang, there was absolutely no future.

Gongsun Kang nodded repeatedly after hearing this. In fact, he felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he should have joined forces with Wuhuan to deal with Qin Shou. He thought that the strength of both sides was not much different, and it should be a situation where both sides would suffer losses, and he would have the last laugh.

Unexpectedly, reality gave him a heavy blow. The seemingly powerful Wuhuan people were no match for the Cavalry Army. Nearly 200,000 troops were easily defeated and fled from Liucheng in a very embarrassed manner.

If he was in Liucheng, the result would definitely not be like this. Now that Wuhuan was defeated, he was left alone to face the powerful cavalry army, which made him feel completely insecure.

His eyes fell on the three Yuan Tan brothers, and he wondered in his heart whether these three brothers were really reliable and could help him deal with Qin Shou.

"Don't worry, everyone. Although Liaodong's troops are insufficient, it is a cold and bitter land far away from the Central Plains. If the Cavalry wants to attack Liaodong, it will not be an easy task. I'm afraid that half of his troops have been lost before they reach Liaodong City."

"Once Qin Shou's attack fails, it will be the best time for us to counterattack. I believe that at that time, I can help you retake Liaodong."

Gongsun Kang said with a serious expression.

The three Yuan Tan brothers nodded and felt relieved.

He understood Gongsun Kang's intention and helped the three men to take Youzhou, and then this matter had nothing to do with him.

This was also what the three brothers wanted. They were also worried that their small number of troops would eventually be swallowed up by Gongsun Kang. Since the other party had made a decision, they would not regret it.

After all, we are all on the same front.

"Report, my lord, news has come from Liucheng that the Prime Minister has led the army back to Jizhou."

At this time, a scout came running over.

The Cavalry Army actually retreated.

Everyone in the hall was stunned.
