Farmers of Shu Han

Chapter 1383 Assassination
Tuoba Liwei, who had no idea that his naughty child was setting fire to his house in the backyard, was now happily leading his men to greet his uncle Dou Bin.

Of course, he also welcomed his brother-in-law whom he hated so much.

Considering that they will be a family in the future, he will not care about the gambling issues in the past.

To this end, he even ignored the fact that it was the most difficult time of the year for the tribe, and gritted his teeth and squeezed out some cattle and sheep to give to the Meiluhui tribe as a gift.

When he saw Dou Bin's team finally appear on the horizon, a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Regardless of the chill still lingering and the cold wind blowing on his face, he galloped his horse out in front of the crowd and shouted from a distance:
"Master Dou, are you feeling well lately?"

Dou Bin, who had received the news long beforehand, came with a group of men on horseback, and also responded from afar:

"Liwei, my good son-in-law!"

In just ten breaths, Dou Bin arrived in front of Tuoba Liwei, dismounted, opened his arms, and walked quickly towards Tuoba Liwei, his face full of surprise and emotion:

"My dear son-in-law, I didn't expect you to come and greet me in person!"

"For such a big matter, wouldn't it be too rude if I didn't come here in person?"

Tuoba Liwei also dismounted and walked forward, his face full of excitement that he could not hide. He also opened his arms, wanting to hug Dou Bin.

It was not known whether they were running too fast or their horses were frightened, but one of Dou Bin's followers could not stop and rushed out from behind.

The knight had an anxious look on his face. He was pulling the reins hard and shouting loudly, as if he wanted to stop the horse.

Unfortunately, the horse did not listen to his command at all and rushed straight towards Tuoba Liwei.

The incident happened unexpectedly, and everyone seemed to be unable to react for a moment.

Just as the knight passed Dou Bin and rushed towards Tuoba Liwei, an unexpected event occurred.

The knight controlled the horse with his left hand and raised his right hand with the sharp saber high up. He could even tilt his body slightly to make a preliminary movement for chopping, showing his superb horsemanship.

The saber carried the wind of death, like a flash of lightning, and with the help of the horse's momentum, it chopped down towards Tuoba Liwei!

If this knife hit, Tuoba Liwei would have at least half of his body cut off.

Even though Tuoba Liwei had experienced decades of ups and downs and witnessed countless life and death, at this moment, his pupils could only watch the sharp saber grow bigger and bigger.

This was the first time he felt death was so close.

fortunately!

Fortunately, there was a butler in black by his side.

"Qiang!"

If the saber had hit Tuoba Liwei, the leader of the Xianbei people who was most likely to become the third powerful ruler, would have died on the spot.

Even the knights' eyes were shining with excitement.

This was the great Xianbei leader who died at his own hands after Kebi Neng.

Unfortunately, a long knife from behind Tuoba Xie saved Tuoba Liwei at the last moment.

The two knives collided, creating a streak of sparks in the air.

Tuoba Liwei could even feel sparks splashing on his neck, and his skin was covered with goose bumps and felt a slight pain.

At the same time, the cool air coming from the blade made him feel the unique chill of iron.

"Wolf slave!"

The black-clad butler made his move first and spoke later.

In fact, the wolf slave who had been with him since childhood followed him closely like a shadow without his even giving any orders.

All that was heard was a low growl like a wolf's howl, and the wolf slave, who was trained with secret methods, used his huge body to slam into the horse.

The horse actually screamed miserably after being hit by his body, and its forward momentum was stopped, with its front hooves forced into the air.

Even so, it was still unable to eliminate the wolf slave's terrifying impact force, and in the end he fell backwards.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the knight on the horse turned over and jumped off the horse.

The black-clad butler looked at the assassin who had landed safely with blazing eyes, and said word by word:

"Han! Long!"

Han Long fell to the ground, supporting himself with one hand, but looked at Tuoba Liwei with regret:

"What a pity! What a pity!"

Almost achieved a double kill.

Without waiting for the black-clad butler to speak, Han Long stood up and whistled.

In the team led by Dou Bin, an empty horse rushed over like an arrow.

Han Long got on the horse again without any reluctance, then turned the horse's head and ran backwards, even grabbing a handful of Dou Bin on the way.

The man and the horse become one, moving at an extremely fast speed, like a flash of white light, without any delay.

The black-robed butler was so angry that he started to curse in a very inappropriate manner:

“Han Long, you are such a despicable villain, you only dare to do the work of an assassin, but you dare not fight head-on?”

Han Long laughed loudly and asked back without showing any weakness:
"Han Chou, if you are upright and honest, why would you allow the wolf slaves to sneak into the Central Plains in the name of the Yellow Turban Warriors and help bring disaster to the world?"

Wolf Slave is a strongman trained by secret methods in North Korea. It is rumored that he is related to the woman who killed the Marquis of Huaiyin (Han Xin) in the Weiyang Palace.

After Zhang Jue started the rebellion, he was surrounded by Yellow Turban strongmen who had immense strength, were not afraid of life or death, and were often unable to defeat them.

Therefore, at the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it was able to spread like wildfire, sweeping away the officers and soldiers and shaking the ruling foundation of the Later Han Dynasty.

Unfortunately, the number of Yellow Turban strongmen was scarce and difficult to replenish, so after the Yellow Turban strongmen continued to die in battle, the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army declined at a great speed.

After Zhang Jue's death, the Yellow Turban Warriors disappeared without a trace.

Han Chou's face suddenly became even gloomier after Han Long exposed what happened in public.

The previous generation of Han Chou had died in Longyou, but every generation of the North Han clan’s patriarch was named Han Chou.

The butler in black is the North Korean clan leader of this generation.

From the time Tuoba Liwei and Dou Bin were dismounted from their horses to the time Han Long and Han Chou fought each other, it may sound long, but in fact it was just a blink of an eye.

Most people on both sides didn't even react.

Han Long brought Dou Bin back to the team. Dou Bin was still a little frightened and had not yet fully recovered.

When he was put down, he said stupidly: "Good horse!"

Han Long smiled carefreely and proudly: "Of course it is a good horse, this is a purebred Western Region Pegasus, it was once the mount of Lord Feng, and later Lord Feng gave it to me personally."

(Chapter 992: No Trip Left Behind)

"The silver saddle shines on the white horse, which gallops like a meteor. It kills one person every ten steps and leaves no trace in a thousand miles."

Who are you talking about?

Of course, I am talking about the hero Han who serves his country and his people.

Yes, that’s what Sima Feng said himself.

As the chief leader of the world's wanderers, who would dare not accept his words?
However, this time he failed in public, which made Han Da Xia feel quite embarrassed.

He looked towards the other side again, still calculating in his heart, when he heard someone in the team shout, "Shoot!"

The Han army archers hidden in the team raised their long-prepared bows and crossbows and shot at the opposite side!

The black-clad butler on the opposite side had already ordered the wolf slave to protect Tuoba Liwei and retreat, but he did not expect that someone would be so unsportsmanlike and do him twice in a row.

He had been paying attention to the other side the whole time. When he heard someone shout "release", he felt something was wrong and subconsciously opened his mouth and shouted a second time: "Wolf slave!"

The loyal wolf slaves, led by the man who knocked over the horse, surrounded the black-clad butler and Tuoba Liwei tightly in the center.

then……

A burst of arrows suddenly shot over!
This is not an ordinary arrow, but a powerful crossbow unique to the Han army.

The Han crossbow, improved by the Zhuge couple and the Feng couple, has extremely strong penetrating power and great power.

Wolf slaves are just strong. No matter how fearless they are of life and death, they are not made of iron and steel and are not invulnerable to swords and guns.

The arrows shot from the opposite side were not dense. After all, the heavy crossbow was a very enjoyable thing to shoot, but it was difficult to lift.

Even so, several wolf slaves standing in front were shot at once without any preparation.

All I could hear was the sound of "puff puff puff", like the sound of leather being hit.

The crossbow arrows penetrated the wolf slaves' bodies very cleanly, causing them to fall down limply without making any extra sounds.

There was even a crossbow arrow that came out of the wolf slave's body, and the bloody arrowhead was just a few inches away from the black-clad butler.

The carefully trained wolf slave was killed so easily, which made the black-clothed butler's heart tremble violently.

While he was shocked by the power of the Han army's bows and crossbows, he was also extremely distressed and his eyes were bloodshot.

At that time, the Yellow Turban Army was as powerful as fire and swept across the Central Plains. However, it was eventually defeated by the government soldiers due to lack of follow-up forces.

Is it because they are unwilling to continue supporting more Yellow Turban warriors?

no.

Because the Han family didn't have too many wolf slaves.

It can even be said that training a wolf slave is not an easy task.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion almost exhausted all the wolf slaves that the family had cultivated over the years.

The people in Longyou intercepted Feng Yong and consumed most of the wolf slaves that they had trained with great difficulty after the Yellow Turban Incident.

There are very few wolf slaves in the tribe nowadays, and it is no longer comparable to the grand occasion decades ago.

On the one hand, there are too many losses, and on the other hand, selecting suitable candidates for training is not an easy task.

However, over the years, the number of tribes on the grassland has become fewer and fewer, and the range of choices has become narrower and narrower.

If the number of wolf slaves decreases, it will cause continued chaos in the Central Plains, continue to consume the vitality of the Han people, and lay the foundation for the Han family to return to the Han area. This is also within the plan.

Who would have expected...

It’s all Feng Mingwen’s fault!

Several wolf slaves died in vain in front of him, which made the black-clad butler extremely heartbroken.

However, his shout finally awakened Tuoba Liwei completely.

"Guard! Guard!"

Tuoba Liwei jumped up and shouted, causing the Tuoba Xianbei people who followed him to rush up in a hurry to protect him.

Han Long and others who missed the opportunity did not rush forward for a final fight, but turned their horses around and ran backwards.

In order not to arouse suspicion, they brought only a few people this time.

Although there may still be a chance if we rush forward again, the hope is definitely slim.

Being entangled by others at that time will not be worth it.

Seeing Dou Bin and the others turn around and flee, Tuoba Liwei, who was still in shock, subconsciously looked at the black-robed butler and asked in disbelief:
"Deacon, what's going on?"

What's the matter?

Can't you see that we've been tricked?
The black-robed butler glanced at Tuoba Liwei, his face extremely gloomy:

"Kehan, we were deceived by Dou Bin. He has actually surrendered to the Han people."

"What? Dou Bin surrendered to the Han people?"

This time, Tuoba Liwei really couldn't believe it.

"How could he...how dare he..."

According to Tuoba Liwei's idea, Dou Bin had betrayed him at most and wanted to take advantage of his unpreparedness. In addition, most of the warriors in the tribe were away and wanted to swallow up his tribe by taking advantage of the small to swallow the big.

Who would have thought that Dou Bin would directly defect to the Han people?

"Can't be wrong!"

The black-clad butler looked at Han Long and his group who were about to disappear on the horizon with a solemn look, and his tone was filled with disbelief, shock and anger:
"The man who assassinated Kehan ​​was the same assassin who assassinated Kebineng last time. He is a lackey of Feng Wenshen!"

Hearing the words of the black-robed butler, Tuoba Li was startled and said in horror:
"Feng the Plague God? Isn't Feng the Plague God attacking Hebei? Why is he here?"

Although people usually call Feng a ghost king and a plague god, but on the grassland, once you hear that this person has personally taken action, who wouldn't tremble in their heart?
The black-robed butler's eyes flickered at Tuoba Liwei's loss of composure, but he didn't say much, just reminded:

"Kehan, it may not be Feng the Plague God who came here in person. After all, Hebei is the top priority for the Han State right now."

"Before we take over Hebei, there is no way Feng the Plague God would have come so far to deal with us."

"Ah, right!" Tuoba Liwei seemed to understand that his reaction was a bit too much. He nodded repeatedly and then asked, "But Dou Bin has already surrendered to the Han people, what should we do?"

I originally thought that there might be some deer returning to act as a buffer in the middle, but I didn't expect that I was too optimistic.

What happened just now shows that the situation is far more serious than we imagined.

In the worst case, the Han army is likely to send a detachment to attack.

With most of the warriors heading south ahead of time, no matter what the situation, Tuoba Xianbei would be in trouble - it just depends on how big or small the trouble is.

"Kehan, there is no time to lose. Please return quickly and gather all the warriors in the tribe to prepare for the battle!"

The black-robed butler suggested without hesitation:

"Dou Bin has led his people here, so we can't give up easily. Ke Han Dang should return to the tribe immediately and issue the Ke Han Order to summon all the warriors in the tribe to prepare for a battle with Dou Bin!"

"Even if half of our warriors are missing, we Tuoba Xianbei are far stronger than the Meiluhui tribe, so we don't need to be afraid of them."

Tuoba Liwei gritted his teeth and nodded:
"That's right. Dou Bin wants to take advantage of our warriors' march south to launch a surprise attack. I will let him know who is the first tribe on the grassland!"

"Get on the horse and return to the tribe!"

Tuoba Liwei gritted his teeth, climbed onto the horse, slapped the horse's butt hard, and swore:

"When I return to the clan, I will definitely kill that bitch Dou and the bastard she gave birth to!"
-
"General, I am ashamed that I failed to kill Tuoba!"

While Tuoba Liwei was riding quickly back to his tribe to summon warriors, Han Long and others also returned to the army in the rear and apologized to General Zhendong.

When General Zhendong heard the news, his calm and slightly indifferent face did not change at all, he just said lightly:
"Master Han, why do you have to do this? The assassination was just a spur-of-the-moment idea. It's good to succeed, but even if it doesn't, it's still part of the plan, so don't worry about it."

When Han Long heard General Zhendong say this, he didn't act pretentiously: "Thank you, General."

Dou Bin, on the other hand, was more frightened than Han Long.

After all, Han Long was a man who had made great contributions, and it was said that he was hired by Feng Dasima as a military coach. Feng Dasima presented him with a Western Region Pegasus, which showed how much he valued him.

But he himself is different.

He had just joined the Han army and wanted to show off, but ended up embarrassing himself.

In order to make up for his mistake, he quickly stepped forward and suggested:
"General, this assassination attempt failed and has alarmed Tuoba Liwei. Why not rush over and kill yourself before he has time to gather the warriors of the tribe? This will surely defeat him."

After hearing this, General Zhendong's smile became even more intense.

He stood up, walked to the door of the tent, put his hands behind his back, looked towards the east, and said slowly:

"What I want is to alarm him and have him gather all the Tuoba Xianbei people as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he gently clenched his hands behind his back into fists:

"This time, I don't want to defeat them badly, but to annihilate them completely!"

What's the point of defeating them?

By then, the most I can get is some livestock, but I can't capture the entire tribe. By then, the Tuoba Xianbei tribe will be dispersed. Do I have to chase them one by one?

This time, what he wants is the entire south of the desert, and no more big tribes that can threaten the Han Dynasty’s border!
For at least ten years, he would not allow such tribes to exist on the grassland!

Because in these ten years, the Han Dynasty will surely march south and unify the world.
