Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 74
Under the dim light, the young man in front of him stood with disheveled hair, and his brows showed fortitude and stubbornness. Because he had been outside the Great Wall for a long time, his face was slightly dark, showing a maturity and sternness that was not commensurate with his age.

As for the same, only from the demeanor and appearance, Yan Rou looks several years older than Liu He.

Yan Rou was captured by Karasuma and Xianbei when she was young, but later gained their trust. After Liu Yu died, Yan Rou, Xianyu Fu and others contacted Xianbei to avenge Liu Yu, and returned to Cao Cao during the battle of Guandu.

Then he led the soldiers and horses in Youzhou to fight against the invasion of the Hu people, and set up the north for the Cao family, guarding the entire northern defense line. Cao Cao treated him like a son, and Cao Pi also regarded him as a brother, which shows that he is a man and capable.

Looking at this famous frontier general who was kidnapped and trafficked, Liu He was delighted, but at the same time deeply moved. Yan Rou's experience was indeed unfortunate, but it also tempered his flexible and strong character.

After ordering someone to show Yan Rou his seat, Liu He asked, "You said you were sold outside the Great Wall by the Wuhuan people before you were ten years old. Do you have any evidence?"

Yan Rou pursed her lips, and said: "Master Shanggu Karasuma Nanlou's brother-in-law often robbed the Central Plains people, took their money as his own, and sold them all to be slaves outside the Great Wall. This is still the case today. Find out."

"Nanlou..." Liu He squinted his eyes slightly, not expecting that the Wuhuan people living in Shanggu would behave in such a way, nodded and said, "Very well, I will find out about this matter, and if it really happened, I will definitely punish it severely."

Yan Rou looked at Liu He, paused and asked, "Are you really the son of Governor Liu?"

"That's right, it's guaranteed!" Liu He smiled, and suddenly said, "Is it your suggestion that Xianbei invaded Shanggu this time?"

A flash of surprise flashed in Yan Rou's eyes, and she asked, "How does the young master know?"

Liu He said with a smile: "Although you are now trusted and loved by the leader, you must have suffered a lot when you were sold outside the Great Wall, and you must still remember being murdered by the Wuhuan people, so you want to take revenge."

"Not bad!" Yan Rou's eyes dimmed for a while, she lowered her head and said slowly: "Besides that, I also want... to go home."

Liu He asked, "Is there anyone else in your family?"

Yan Rou nodded and said: "Back then I followed my uncle into the mountains to hunt. I met Wuhuan people in Jundu Mountain. There are parents and brothers at home. I don't know how they are now."

Liu He asked: "Since you persuaded the leader to lead troops to Shanggu as you wished, why didn't you take advantage of the chaos and escape just now? Could it be that you stayed in the city on purpose?"

Yan Rou seemed quite shocked that Liu He could guess his actions. She raised her head again, looked at this elegant and capable young man, and nodded with her lips pursed. Living outside the Great Wall all year round, he has always been reticent, even Central Plains dialect is somewhat jerky.

Liu He was not in a hurry and waited patiently for him to sort out his thoughts. For a boy who was kidnapped and trafficked as a child, his state of mind and decision-making at this time must have been very difficult for him.

Yan Rou is not well-known in the Three Kingdoms, because he helped Cao Wei defend the north, and leading troops to fight were also foreign wars. For the chaotic Central Plains at that time, the historical records of foreign wars are not detailed.

But this does not affect his ability. His contribution should not be underestimated. Without Yan Rou guarding the north and resisting the most powerful Xianbei army with hundreds of thousands of people at that time, how could Cao Cao dare to rest assured that he would fight for millions The heroes go to the south of the Yangtze River?
It was Yan Rou's intelligence and bravery, coupled with her prestige among the Xianbei and Wuhuan people, who guarded the peace in the north, so that Wei State could have no worries in the Three Kingdoms War. If it was placed on the front line of the Central Plains, it must be a general.

"The leader believes in Ke Bineng more!" After a moment of silence, Yan Rou spoke again, with a complicated look in her eyes: "The people of Wuhuan have already retreated to Daijun, but they don't want to attack Wuhuan. Taking the opportunity to attack the Central Plains, I cannot let them harm my people."

"Kebi can..." Liu He muttered, nodded and said, "If you are aware of the dangers of the Hu people, you can be regarded as knowing your way back. After defeating the Xianbei army, I will help you complete the revenge."

Yan Rou got up and bowed down: "If you can avenge me, young master, Yan Rou is willing to follow you from now on."

"Please get up!" Liu He quickly helped Yan Rou up, and said with a smile: "You and I are responsible for fighting against the barbarians, first you can talk about the current situation of the Xianbei people, and the strength of these subordinates brought by the leader. "

Yan Rou replied: "Since the death of Shanyu Tanshihuai, none of the 68 towns of the three tribes have been willing to obey Helian's transfer order, and the leaders of the various tribes did not come to the meeting at Tanhan Mountain in May. The Xianbei people have actually been torn apart. gone."

Tanshihuai was built in Tanhan Mountain, from Liaodong in the east, Dunhuang in the west, Hanbian in the south, and Chile in the north, all of which are the territories of the Xianbei people. Obeying orders, this was the first time when the Xianbei people were strongest.

"Oh?" Liu He asked: "The tribes that follow the leader are all those tribes. How strong are they?"

Yan Rou replied: "Kuitou's tribe is one of the three tribes in the middle, mainly Tuoba tribe and Rouran tribe, with a total of more than 8 people."

This information is similar to what Ji Chou provided. Nowadays, all Xianbei tribes are independent. The main forces of the Western Helian Company are the Tuyuhun tribe and the Qifu tribe. In the east, there are the Yuwen tribe, the Duan tribe, and the Murong tribe. They guard the Xianbei people in the Xianbei Mountains. foundation.

Liu He nodded slightly and asked, "Which tribe does Kebi Neng belong to?"

Yan Rou said: "Ke Bineng is the chief of the begging tribe. He was at odds with the tribal leaders and hated Helian, so he followed the leader. This man knows some military strategies, is clever and cunning, and was praised by the leader as ' Prairie Fox', won its trust."

"Hmph, the fox of the prairie?" Liu He sneered, and said slowly, "I'm going to take off his fox fur this time."

Ke Bineng is the leader of Xianbei's second strong power. He is brave in battle, fair in law enforcement, not greedy for money, and very good at attracting people's hearts. He is also very eager to learn. What Yan Rou said about knowing the art of war probably means learning the culture of the Central Plains.

After that, Xianbei went through several internal struggles and mergers, and was finally unified by Ke Bineng. He controlled more than [-] riders, harmed the border, re-established a powerful Xianbei regime, and was finally assassinated by Youzhou Governor Wang Xiong Han Long After the assassination, the Xianbei tribe fell into the melee again.

Such a heroic figure must be a great threat in the future, Liu He naturally doesn't want to stay in the later stage, it is best to get rid of him as soon as possible while he is still fledgling.

After thinking for a while, Liu He said: "The leaders under the leader must have different intentions. I have my own plan to get rid of them. How dare you return to the leader and help me defeat the Xianbei army first."

Yan Rou was stunned for a moment, then she stood up and said, "Your Excellency's order, I will never refuse to die."

"Very good!" Liu He was very satisfied with Yan Rou's courage and determination, and said to him, "Although the Xianbei army suffered setbacks in the first battle, they are powerful and invincible, and they need to be defeated one by one. Tell me about the relationship between adults and each other, and I will make my own arrangements."

Yan Rou immediately informed Liu He of the leaders under Kuitou and their troops in detail, which was much more convenient and detailed than Xian Yufu's interrogation of those captives.

After talking with Yan Rou for more than an hour, Liu He ordered him to be escorted back to the captives again.
