Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 427

For Liu Yu's impression, Cao Cao was still the King of Zhongshan on Dagu Mountain. Although Liu Yu pacified the Luoyang Rebellion and was named regent, Cao Cao still had a deeper impression of Zhongshan King who drew maps of the Western Regions on Dagu Mountain.

From Cao Cao's point of view, Liu Yu definitely has secrets beyond common sense. If he has the opportunity to discover these secrets, he is willing to give it a try.

Liu Yu appeared in Bingzhou, and he came to Bingzhou after making a mess of Jizhou. Cao Cao has enough reason to believe that there will be no traces of the black bandits outside Yangquan Pass.

So the entire Cao camp immediately assembled and retreated to Jinyang after receiving Cao Cao's emergency retreat order.

These Cao Ying soldiers, including Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan brothers, thought that their emergency retreat was to deal with the Huns who were making trouble in Xihe County.

Only Cao Cao was still hesitating about what he should do first when he returned to Jinyang City.

Just when Cao Cao's main force was withdrawing to Jinyang City, Cao Ren from Xihe County was commanding the soldiers to deploy defenses on the top of the city.

At three quarters past noon, yellow sand and dust suddenly rose from the north of Pingding City, and there was a roar from the ground. It didn't take long to see a cavalry group of tens of thousands of people appearing below the city.

Among the cavalry was a Hun riding a bay red horse. This man was the Hun Shanyu Fuluo.

"Let the soldiers in the back step up, we have to show enough momentum to deter Cao Ren."

This time Yu Fuluo not only brought [-] Hun cavalry, but also assembled [-] young and middle-aged men from the tribe into an army, ready to show off their muscles with Cao Ren.

Because of the death of his son Liu Bao, Yu Fuluo cried bitterly all night, but the dead cannot be resurrected. As the Hun Shan Yu, he must face it and maximize his interests.

It's a pity that his think tank, King Youxian Qubei, was not around, which made Yu Fuluo hesitate all night before finally deciding to lead his troops to the Cao Jun camp in Xihe to ask for an explanation.

To put it bluntly, the Huns were still afraid that they would not be able to defeat the Bingzhou Army, but they did not want to miss the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to blackmail.

Soon Yu Fuluo saw that the [-] young men from the tribe were gathering here, so he became more confident.

Riding alone to the place where one arrow was shot, Yu Fuluo slightly cupped his fists and said hello to Cao Ren on the city wall.

The Huns lived together with the Han people for a long time, especially the Huns nobles were infinitely close to the cultural customs of the Han people.

"General Cao Ren, how did my son Liu Bao die?"

Liu Bao worshiped Cao Ren as his master, and was killed more than a dozen miles away from Cao Ying. As his father, Yu Fuluo vented all his anger on Cao Ren.

So just as his questioning ended, the [-] Hun cavalry behind him roared.

The imposing manner was overwhelming, and the timid people on the city wall subconsciously shrank their heads back.

"The murderer has not yet been identified."

Cao Ren, however, showed no pressure, took off his helmet expressionlessly, and asked the other party in a firm tone.

"Master Shan Yu, I will not hinder you from avenging your son, but you brought the Hun cavalry to the city of Ping Ding. This act is like breaking the covenant. Could it be that you want to start a war?"

Cao Rencai didn't care how Liu Bao died, even if it was the actions of the soldiers in Cao Yingli, he would not allow the Huns to come to the territory he guarded to show off their might.

So he didn't mean Fu Luo to answer, and directly ordered the archers to prepare.

"If you dare to gather people and approach the city with weapons, you will be the enemy of Bingzhou. You can shoot anyone who is close to the range at any time!"

Cao Ren ordered thousands of archers to bend their bows and draw their strings immediately, and some of them shot feather arrows directly. Although they failed to hit the arrows, Yu Fuluo was scared back more than ten steps.

"This king is only here to ask for an explanation for his son's death. General Cao Ren treats him like this. Could it be that he wants to start a war against his allies?"

"... Master Zhou and I are brothers. If he finds out that you dare to shoot me with an arrow, he will definitely punish you!"

Before Yu Fuluo stated the purpose of coming this time, Cao Ren rejected him with a single sentence. This made him extremely annoyed, but he didn't dare to really order to attack the city, so he had to bring out Cao Cao, hoping to stabilize Cao Ren. So back to the negotiation.

Cao Ren laughed loudly after hearing this, thinking that you and Meng De are brothers, and I, Cao Ren, is the real brother of the elder brother.

Moreover, the reason why Cao Ren was so rude to Fu Luo was that he had been instructed by Cao Cao long ago.

Cao Cao's ambition is to recover Bingzhou quickly, and Yu Fuluo, the Xiongnu Shanyu, is his number one enemy. The alliance with him was just a way to slow down the army. Now that he has exchanged tens of thousands of horses from the Huns royal court, Cao Cao has lost interest in this so-called ally. Therefore, Cao Ren was ordered to annex the Huns royal court as soon as he had the opportunity.

It just so happened that Liu Bao died in the Xihe camp, and Yu Fuluo's temperament would definitely not let go of this opportunity to blackmail and merge the state, but this also provided Cao Ren with a suitable reason to start the war.

"General Cao Ren, what are you laughing at? My son died near the Xihe camp. You must give me an explanation!"

Yu Fuluo was furious, and in order to show his determination, he led [-] cavalry and yelled at the city wall again.

"Explain?"

Cao Ren pointed coldly, "If you really came here to investigate Liu Bao's death, I would let you go into the city to discuss. Unfortunately, you not only brought [-] Hun cavalry, but also temporarily assembled [-] strong tribesmen. , such an approach can be regarded as the first breach of the covenant by the Huns."

"Now that soldiers are approaching the city, I, Cao Ren, have no choice but to fight back!"

After finishing speaking, Cao Ren put on his helmet again, as if he was about to go into battle himself.

Yu Fuluo didn't expect Cao Ren to be so difficult to deal with, so he was still puzzled. How did Cao Ren know that I had gathered [-] strong men from the tribe?
The nomads are all soldiers in war, but in normal times they live by grazing their own herds. Only the cavalry of the more than [-] Huns royal court is the standing army. Therefore, when the Huns have more than [-] soldiers, it means that the war is about to start.

It's just that this time Yu Fuluo really didn't want to fight. He just wanted to take advantage of Liu Bao's killing to demand compensation from the Xihe camp, and the purpose of gathering an army was to make it easier for Cao Ren to submit.

Therefore, the [-] young and middle-aged Huns were just superficial, and not all of them were equipped with weapons.

Cao Ren didn't care whether the opponent really wanted to fight or not, anyway, the Xihe barracks was ready for a full-scale attack, and when Cao Ren put on his helmet again, it was a signal to his subordinates for a full-scale attack.

Suddenly, Yu Fuluo felt a huge roar coming from behind him.

At this time, there was the sound of cavalry charging, but his [-] Hun cavalry were beside him. Where exactly was the cavalry charging towards the young and strong Hun that he had assembled?

The answer was soon revealed. I saw a group of brave cavalry with the banner of Cao character rapidly approaching the young and strong Xiongnu who had little equipment.

Yu Fuluo was shocked when he saw this. The cavalry is different from the archers. The archers can send and receive freely, but once the cavalry charges, they will never return.
