Cao Thief

Chapter 417 Liger Beast

In the deep night, from the direction of Luoshan, an iron cavalry came slowly.

The number of people is about 3000, and in the night, they are forced towards the direction of the surrendered city.

This cavalry army did not display any flags.But judging from their clothing and decorations, they are Xianbei people.

The leader is a general named Samad Khan.

This person is a general under the command of Ke Bineng, a master of the central Xianbei region, and his father, Jue Ji, is a master of the tribe under Ke Bineng's command, and his strength is not bad.

"My lord, go further, pass through this pasture, and you will see the Surrendered City."

Samad Khan nodded, showing a pensive attitude.

After a while, he suddenly said: "Qubei is now in Shentuze, right?"

"Exactly."

Samad Khan said: "Qubei is very careful in his work. If he dares to cross the river to Shentuze, he will definitely send heavy troops to the surrendered city. Although we say it is a surprise attack, we may not be able to take advantage of it. It is better to attack Danhan Mountain. What do you think?"

"But... Master Ke Bineng said that we should try to destroy the alliance between the Han family and the Southern Huns."

"Of course I know... But the question is, how do we destroy it?" Samad Khan smiled slightly, and explained to the young handsome men around him: "Shen Tuze is Liu Bao's territory, and now there will be a sheep hunting event, so it is difficult for us to destroy it." Find a loophole. There are many ways to destroy their alliance. It doesn’t make much sense to fight the surrendered city, so it’s better to go straight to Danhan Mountain.”

"But Danhan Mountain is also well-defended."

"I mean, hit and don't fight."

Samad Khan's words made the young handsome beside him look confused.

"We only have [-] warriors, and we will suffer heavy losses no matter if we attack Surrendered City or Tanhan Mountain by surprise.

I mean, let's feint Dan Khan Mountain.In this way, Huchuquan will definitely rush back to Danhan Mountain for rescue... Then, we ambush Huchuquan on the way.Even if Hu Chuquan reached a covenant with the Han family, if Hu Chuquan died, the covenant would definitely break by itself.I have heard people say that the Han family used this method a long time ago.This time, we imitated the tactics of the Han family and ambushed halfway... Once Hu Chuquan died, Qubei and Liu Bao would inevitably clash.In this way, the Southern Huns will never be able to threaten Mr. Ke Bineng within ten years. "

The handsome guys don't quite understand Samad Khan's plan, but it sounds interesting.

Moreover, Samad Khan is the son of Jueji, the future tribal leader.As handsome men, they naturally couldn't go against Samad Khan's wishes, so they nodded in unison, expressing their willingness to obey Samad Khan's plan.

Samad Khan chuckled, and immediately gave an order: "Send the order, and the sons will immediately turn to the east, and must arrive at Danhan Mountain within two days."

The Xianbei cavalry suddenly changed direction while they were marching.

Although the order was issued a little suddenly, but during the march, it was methodical and there was no sign of confusion at all.

Looking up at the surrendered city, Samad Khan smiled slightly.

"Go humble, I'll let you go this time, don't disappoint me..."

The sun is shining and it is a great day.

In Shuofang in May, the temperature is just right, neither cold nor hot, making people feel extremely comfortable.Yuyu Muyuan, stretching as far as the eye can see.Looking into the distance, I saw a gloomy color, as if the sky and the earth were the same color.The sky is high and blue; the land is huge and lush... Walking between the sky and the earth makes people feel relaxed and happy, and their hearts suddenly become much wider.

On Shentu Zemuyuan, colorful flags were fluttering and people were buzzing.

The annual sheep picking competition kicked off on this sunny day.

Star-studded tents are scattered on Shentu Zemuyuan.Herdsmen came out one after another to cheer for their favorite team.After a while, the sheep picking competition will start here.The winner will throw the bloody lamb on top of the tent.The lamb falling on the tent represents good luck and is the favorite gift of the shepherds.

A high platform rises from the pasture.

Lords from various tribes of the Huns came to watch the battle one after another.

Drinks, of course, cannot be lacking.On this day, drinks on the grassland are completely free.One by one, jars filled with fine wine were placed in the open air so casually that passers-by could enjoy them and share the happiness of the Huns.

Hu Chuquan, Qubei, Liu Bao, and Liu Guang Tianyu climbed to the high platform early.

Not far away, groups of Hun warriors gathered together to talk, and hearty laughter came from time to time.

"Marquis Linyi, I heard that your Han warriors will also participate in the sheep picking contest, but which warrior is it?"

Hu Chuquan, who had a thick beard and a chubby face, asked.

Liu Guang bowed slightly, and replied with a smile: "The warrior who took part in picking up the sheep this time is a strong general of my burly fellow.

He is Cao Sikong's nephew, and he is also the chief guard of the mission.

Because of his health, he hadn't shown up before.This time, when I heard that the Great Danyu held a sheep picking competition, Xiaowei Cao was naturally interested and offered to participate...and please don't blame Xiaowei Cao for being the one. "

"Where where..."

Hu Chuquan frowned slightly, and then smiled.

On the side, Liu Bao's eyes flashed with rage, and he smiled coldly in his heart, but he didn't speak.

Instead, Qubei reminded: "Da Shanyu, the group is dangerous, if the Han family envoy is injured, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

"Hey, King You Xian underestimated me, a warrior of the Han family.

I am a son of the Han family, and I will not afford to lose.Besides, bumps and bumps are unavoidable in the Goat Picking Contest. Captain Cao already knew this, so don't let me... Hehe, if Da Shanyu loses, it will look bad. . "

Liu Guang smiled all over his face, but every sentence was full of wit.

He was very worried that Hu Chuquan would order to give in, so he simply blocked the conversation.

Hu Chuquan took a look at Liu Guang, and couldn't help showing embarrassment...

"Since the Marquis of Linyi said so, if there is an accident later, please don't blame the Marquis of Linyi."

Tian Yu watched coldly from the side. He glanced at Liu Guang, and the corner of his mouth twitched, revealing a hint of sarcasm.As for Liu Guang, he also noticed Tian Yu's expression.Although he was a little ashamed in his heart, but after thinking about it, he felt at ease.

This is the best time to put Cao Peng to death.

If Cao Peng died, at least he could cut off the old thief's arm.

And he died in the sheep picking competition, even if the old thief wanted to avenge him, he had to consider the strength of the Huns.

It's best that the old thief and the Huns turn against each other, so that the Huns will be used by me.

Thinking of this, Liu Guang became calm...

"Da Chanyu, can we start?"

"Ah, start, of course you can start."

According to the customs of the Huns, before the start of the sheep picking competition, the warriors participating in the competition will walk under the high platform to receive the blessing of the Great Chanyu.

Cao Peng, as the representative of the Han Dynasty, was the first to go down the high platform.

Behind him, Han De and Wang Shuang followed closely, and then the seven participating warriors.

"Lieutenant Cao, you have great courage!" Hu Chuquan and Cao Peng met face to face for the first time, with a smile on their faces, and said in a deep voice: "However, the group competition is dangerous, and Captain Cao needs to be more careful. If the form Not good, you need to quit early to avoid getting hurt."

Hu Chuquan had good intentions, he was worried that Cao Peng would be injured.

He had just had a fight with Cao Cao last year, so he naturally knew Cao Cao's strength.

In case Cao Peng encountered danger during the game, it might anger Cao Cao.This is definitely not the result that Hu Chuquan wanted to see, but he couldn't forcibly stop Cao Peng from participating, so he had to give Cao Peng a little reminder in words...

On the other hand, Liu Guang said in a low voice: "Youxue, according to the rules of the Huns, quitting halfway is a sign of cowardice.

I know you learn to be brave, but you still have to pay more attention to your own safety, don't get hurt, I can't explain to Sikong. "

On the surface, Liu Guang revealed a strong sense of concern.

But in fact, there is a murderous intention hidden!
He knew Cao Peng, he was definitely not someone who would quit easily.

If Cao Peng withdrew, wouldn't it be in vain for him to plot all kinds of schemes?
Therefore, no matter what Liu Guang said, he couldn't make Cao Peng quit.What he said was not so much caring, but rather cutting off Cao Peng's retreat.Quit halfway?How can that be!That's a sign of a coward... Are you a coward, Cao Peng?

Cao Peng stared at Liu Guang, and said softly after a long time: "Marquis of Linyi, are you a descendant of Gaozu?"

Liu Guang was startled for a moment, but then realized that his face turned red.

Cao Peng's words are clearly mocking him, he is not worthy of being Liu Bang's descendants, and he is ashamed of the words "Han family clan".He wanted to argue, but didn't know how to speak.Moreover, Cao Peng didn't give him a chance to speak, so he turned around and left.

Even if you don't force me, I won't quit easily...

Next, the warriors from various ministries stepped forward to accept the blessing of the Great Chanyu.

When Cao Peng returned to the main formation, just as he was about to mount his horse, he heard Pang Tong shouting loudly from the side: "You rascal, why are you drinking here?"

Cao Peng followed the sound, but saw a skinny, huge yellow horse poking most of its head into the wine vat. Pang Tong grabbed the bridle and tried desperately to pull it over.

"Why is rhubarb here?"

Cao Peng was stunned, and turned his head to look at Wang Shuang.

After two days of recuperation, the liger has become very different.

Every meal is full of food, and there is a special person to take care of it, the color of the fur looks much brighter than before.There was also energy in those yellow eyes, and when Cao Peng saw it for the first time, his appearance had changed drastically.

Until this moment, Cao Peng believed that this rhubarb was really a good horse.

But it looks a little thin, and it cannot be equated with a real BMW horse.

Cao Peng and Wang Shuang hurried over and dragged the liger away from the wine tank.It's just that the liger seemed drunk and staggered a little.

Cao Peng beckoned to the soldiers to keep an eye on Rhubarb.

At this time, the twenty warriors had received their blessings one after another, and each of them returned to the formation, getting ready on horseback.

Cao Peng was also in a hurry to get on his horse, and didn't bother to ask Da Huang why he came out to drink.

But when he was about to leave, the liger suddenly grabbed Cao Peng's belt from behind, and refused to let go.

"Rhubarb, let go."

The liger snorted hotly, shook its head and tail.

Wang Shuang said softly: "Young master, Rhubarb wants you to ride it to compete."

"I ride it to race?"

Cao Peng stretched out his hand and patted the liger's neck lightly, "Do you want to fight side by side with me?"

God knows whether the liger understood it or not, its huge head kept poking over to caress Cao Peng's face.

From the looks of it, it wants to compete!
Cao Peng hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said: "Come here, give it a saddle and stirrup."

"Young master, do you really want to..."

Cao Peng smiled, "It's a magical horse, a liger...Since it asks so much, if I don't agree, wouldn't it make it feel cold? Besides, I also want to see this liger, What kind of ability do you have to dare to be called a liger. Hande, you can change to my horse, get the saddle and stirrup, and match it with rhubarb..."

What Cao Peng said was so decisive that Han De and others did not dare to say anything.

When the saddle and stirrup were assembled, Cao Peng stepped forward and tightened the belt, and then got on the horse.

"Rhubarb, I'm going to see you today!"

He reached out and patted the liger's neck lightly.

However, the liger let out a long neigh and breathed out fiery breath, and came forward.

"what?"

When a Hun saw a liger and a tiger, he couldn't help laughing, "Lieutenant Cao, does your Han family have no horses? If you don't have a horse, you can buy one from us. Why bother riding such a poor horse? Lost to us?"

Cao Peng recognized the Huns, his name was Liu Jing.

Speaking of which, he is also a descendant of Luan Ti Modun and a brother of Liu Bao.

It's just that Cao Peng didn't know that Liu Jing was also a well-known figure in history.Historically, Huchuquan was later detained by Cao Cao. Cao Cao immediately divided the Southern Huns into five parts, and Liu Jing was the commander of the central part.

But at this time, Liu Jing is just a handsome man under Liu Bao's tent, and also a warrior representing Liu Bao in this competition.

This person is not tall, but has an extremely strong physique.

His short neck and thick neck also make him appear to have a small head.

The arms are much longer than ordinary people, and there are layers of calluses on a pair of big hands, giving people a feeling of strength.

Cao Peng ignored Liu Jing and just smiled lightly.

But he leaned down, and said softly: "Da Huang, did you hear that, people look down on you...don't give me face when the game is played later. If you want to teach this guy a lesson, you just teach him a lesson That's right."

Cao Peng didn't know if the liger understood what he said, but seeing the liger's reaction, he was sure.

Those yellow turbid eyes swept across Liu Jing.

The liger snorted and exhaled a strong smell of alcohol.

Two hundred warriors lined up and stood in the center of the field. Following Hu Chuquan's order, a Hun came on horseback with a heavy lamb in his hand. He came to the center of the field in the blink of an eye and threw the lamb away. come out.

The lamb drew a parabola in the air, attracting everyone's attention.

When the sheep's body fell to the ground with a bang, 21 teams, including Cao Peng, shouted at the same time.Twenty Hun warriors rushed out on their horses and rushed towards the lamb.But Rhubarb didn't move, as if he had fallen asleep.

Cao Peng became anxious all of a sudden, "Rhubarb..."

Before he finished yelling, he saw the liger raising its head and letting out a long hiss like a dragon singing and a lion's roar, which only startled the surrounding horses, and Xi Yuyu neighed violently.Even the twenty horses that had rushed up to the lamb were in a commotion.The liger suddenly stood up, carried Cao Peng on its back, and rushed towards the crowd like a flash of lightning...
