Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 89
Rumbling--

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves sounded in the distance, and the Han cavalry followed. Bu Dugen's expression changed greatly, and he quickly sent an order to the entire army to defend themselves against the enemy.

After several battles, the Xianbei army lost all their elite casualties. The soldiers who fled said that the Han army was powerful. The recruits and veterans had long been afraid of the Han army.

Although Xianbei claims that everyone who mounts a horse can be a warrior, but how can the soldiers temporarily drawn from the rear compare with the cavalry who often loot?
Ji Chou and Zhang Yun rushed into the Xianbei camp, rushed from left to right, set fires everywhere, and in a blink of an eye there was chaos in the camp, and some even returned to preach Liu He's benevolence, which was not much different from his father Liu Yu. , and knelt down on the ground with his head in his arms.

Bu Dugen hurriedly put on his armor and got on his horse, and the defenders rushed to report that the Han army had crossed Xiushui and was coming to the camp. The morale of the Xianbei army was low and they couldn't resist it at all.

Budugen was shocked when he heard the report, and he heard shouts of killing outside the camp. Han soldiers were everywhere in the camp, and the Xianbei army ran around indiscriminately. He immediately changed his mind and ran away on horseback.

Under the light of the blazing fire, Zhang Fei led his troops to kill from the south, snatched the horses on the bank and went ahead alone. the spear fell on himself
Afterwards, Xu Rong and Xian Yufu also led the troops to kill them. While chasing and killing the bandits, they persuaded them to surrender along the way. Those who knelt on the ground were spared from death. Countless bandits lay down from the camp along the river to the west bank, like being caught by a huge wave. Shivering like a crab rushing to the shore.

Zhang Yun saw Bu Dugen in the rebellion, and led his men in hot pursuit. Bu Dugen was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and fled to the northwest camp.

While running with his head down, suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes in front of him, and a sentry of people and horses flashed past. When Bu Dugen looked up, it was the Han army. A man with a white horse and a white robe stood in front of him, standing with a horizontal gun, blocking the mountain road under the waning moon.

"Budugen, you have nowhere to escape, why don't you just catch him?"

Bu Dugen turned pale with fright, and seeing the pursuers catching up, he gritted his teeth and wielded his sword, and urged his horse to charge forward, trying to forcibly fight a way out.

clang clang-

The horse galloped towards him, and Bu Dugen slashed with his knife. He felt a huge force coming from his arms, and his sword flew away.

boom--

Before he could stabilize his figure, he was hit hard on the shoulder, which made his eyes stare and he fell off the horse.

The more than 100 Xianbei troops who followed were already exhausted. Seeing that Budugen was knocked off his horse as soon as he fought, and was blocked by the Han army before and after, he had no choice but to surrender.

Zhang He rode his horse to the front, saw that it was Liu He who stopped the way back, clasped his fists and said, "Young master is so fast."

Liu He laughed and said, "Budugen is going to escape back to his lair. This is the only way to go. After crossing the river, I came straight here and have been waiting for a long time."

Zhang He ordered Bu Dugen to be put across the horse's back, and the prisoner was taken back to the Xianbei camp with Liu He.

At this time, the sky was already bright, black smoke was still rising in the camp, and a large number of Xianbei troops fell to their knees on the bank of the river.

The crowd interrogated the captives in Budugen's big tent. At this time, Budugen had already woken up, not to mention his body aches, and he was a prisoner. It was a waste of suffering and he regretted it.

Dejectedly glanced at Yan Rou and the tribal leaders who were kneeling beside him, he knew that the power in the central part of Xianbei was gone, and even if they returned to the outside of the Great Wall, they would not be able to survive this winter with these remnants of defeated soldiers.

Liu He asked: "Budugen, you used to think you had some strength and refused to surrender. Now that you are a prisoner, do you still want to die for glory like the leader?"

Bu Dugen trembled all over, and hurriedly said: "It was my elder brother who tried to enter the Central Plains in vain before, and we had no choice but to launch it. Now that we know that our strength is not enough, I am willing to surrender!"

Yan Rou knelt aside and curled her lips, that's not what you said in the handsome position two days ago!
Liu He sneered and said, "Even the war in the Central Plains is not something you can get involved in. Now that the culprit and Ke Bineng have been eliminated, the rest of the people can avoid death as long as they are willing to surrender."

Bu Dugen hurriedly thanked him, paused for a moment and asked cautiously: "Then... the conditions for exchanging food that Jun Hou said..."

Liu He said with a smile: "You surrender to the imperial court sincerely, and pay tribute every year. The emperor will send you favors, and you will exchange food with you. If you don't know how to advance or retreat, if you want to force yourself to attack, you will only reap the consequences."

Bu Dugen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thanked Liu and Kuanren again, and promised that the Xianbei people under him would never betray him in the future, and would rather pay tribute to the court and accept the control of the court.

Liu He ordered people to untie everyone, gave in to Dugen and led several leaders to deliver the order, and at the same time left Yan Rou in the army to serve, and successfully changed his identity.

Yan Rou made great contributions to the victory in this battle, but his status was special, so Liu He only arranged him as a entourage under Wei Dun's subordinates.

That night, a banquet was held in the camp to celebrate the victory. Liu He informed everyone of his plan to open markets in Zhuo County and Juyang, and everyone agreed, especially Bu Dugen and others. There is.

But Liu He did not have the right to settle the Xianbei army. They discussed it and ordered Bu Dugen to write a letter of descent, which was sent by Jichou and Jiebao to Luoyang, and asked to divide the land west of Jiming Mountain to the Xianbei people. Executed like the Wuhuan people.

Now only the Xianbei army in Daijun has not heard any news. Budugen once again sent someone to send a message to his brother Fu Luohan.

The next day, the Xianbei army returned to the camp first, while Bu Dugen stayed to wait for news from Fu Luohan. Liu He inquired about the buying and selling of slaves by the Wuhuan people. Sure enough, this happened often. Today, there are more than 100 Han slaves in the Xianbei camp. .

Liu He was furious when he heard this and said in a deep voice: "This matter must be investigated to the end. No matter who is found guilty, no mercy will be given."

Wei Dun frowned and said: "Originally, Colonel Ji should investigate this matter, but he always excused himself with excuses, lest he have something to hide, so you should think twice."

Liu He was so angry that he slapped the table and said coldly, "Hmph, if Colonel Ji harms his own family, he will be more guilty and unforgivable!"

Wei Dun hurriedly said: "My lord, please calm down, why don't we investigate this matter secretly first, and see who did it, before it's too late to make a decision."

After all, he is the captain of Huwuhuan. Although Liu He has been promoted, he still can't control Ji Chou. Once the two sides conflict, it will be very disadvantageous to Liu He.

Liu He took a deep breath, walked in the tent with his hands behind his back, turned his head and said to Bu Dugen: "It was inconvenient for us to investigate this matter before, but now we have adults to help us, so we can investigate by ourselves! We must get rid of the evil, otherwise there will be people who will be victimized in the future." .”

After getting along with each other for a day, Bu Dugen convinced Liu He sincerely, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, just do what you tell me, and I will definitely do it."

Liu Heyan said: "When the news from Dai County comes, you two will go back to the headquarters first, gather all the people involved in the slave trade, and find out the reason for negotiating with Wuhuan. These people have all been brought, and I have my own way to deal with them.”

Budugen fully agreed that this matter would have no effect on the Xianbei people, at most it would be to return the slaves, but it could take the opportunity to suppress the arrogance of the Wuhuan people.
