Li Li's words made Que Yue'er terrified, but what shocked her the most was the name said by her lover himself.

"Ah."

Li Li nodded happily, and said affirmatively: "Yes! I am Li Li, whose name is Wenchang. I am currently in command of the Xiliang Army, and I am added as a general of the imperial hussars. I didn't reveal my identity before, that's because we are enemies and not friends. It's for caution. , it is inconvenient to tell the truth about your name. But it is different now, no matter who you were before, now you only have one identity, and that is my woman, Li Li!"

"Are you really Lily?"

Although Que Yue'er had received Li Li's affirmative answer, she still couldn't believe it was true, her face was full of disbelief, and there was a look of joy and worry between her brows.

The name Li Li has long been a well-known and powerful existence to the herdsmen on the entire Xiongnu grassland. Its prestige and deterrent power are no less than a mountain on the Xiongnu grassland that countless people look up to and cannot climb. .

In the past two years, Xiliang's army has been strong and powerful, and hundreds of thousands of troops have been stationed at the border to deter the surrounding grassland tribes.Since then, it has never been heard of any tribal warriors who were able to grab food and property from the Xiliang border. On the contrary, the tribes near the Xiliang border disappeared one after another, and their cattle, sheep, livestock, and clansmen were looted, and they disappeared without a trace. .As time passed, all the tribes in the grassland changed their expressions when they heard about the Xiliang Army, and almost no one dared to mention Li Li's name.

However, all tribes in the grassland are races that respect the strong. They are born to respect the strong. Even if they are not members of their own clan, there are still many people who secretly worship and admire them.Among them, women are even worse, because they have a low status in the tribe.Even though they are of noble birth, they still cannot be compared with the men of their own clan.Therefore, many girls hope that they can be favored by the strong, so as to ensure their safety and security, and to gain a relatively high status and respect, and are no longer simply reproductive tools for men to ravage and vent, and to beat and scold at will. driven slaves.

Therefore, many barbarian women did not reject Han men, especially Han nobles and officials.Because most Han noble men are gentle and refined, they seldom beat and scold their wives and concubines.The status of Han women is generally higher, and there are even many women who can control men.This kind of phenomenon is almost non-existent on the grasslands. No woman dares to tell her man what to do, or even dare to speak loudly, otherwise he will be beaten and scolded by the man.They were even sold into slavery.

But Que Yue'er in front of her is an exception.She is not only a direct descendant of the royal tribe of the Huns, but also of noble birth.There is also a good brother who loves her very much.It is precisely because of the protection of my brother.It allows her to learn horseback riding and archery like a man, without having to learn the skills of serving men, and she can choose the man she likes at the age of marriage.So she is a big girl, but she is still unmarried, and she is still choosing the man she likes.

Speaking in detail, Que Yue'er was well-known among the Southern Xiongnu tribe.Her reputation has spread far and wide, and she is known as the "Flower of the King's Court of the Huns", and other tribes call her "Bright Moon on the Grassland".She is not only beautiful, but also tall and attractive.Moreover, he is skilled in bow and horse, and has extraordinary martial arts skills.In the tribe, except for her elder brother, no one is her opponent, so when her elder brother leads the warriors of the tribe, she is the leader of the remaining tribe, holding the five hundred most elite warriors of the tribe in her hands.

Although Que Yue'er is a rare strong woman among the Xiongnu tribe, she is a daughter after all, and she is at the young age of love, so she also looks forward to marrying a strong man with outstanding talents as his wife.Before that, Zuoxian King Huchuquan and Yu Fuluo's son Liu Bao had both proposed her, but she rejected them without hesitation.The reason why she dared to do this was because her elder brother was also one of the few powerful figures in the court of the Huns, and he was extremely brave and capable of both civil and military skills.Therefore, with her elder brother taking care of her, even Hu Chuquan, Liu Bao and others dare not do anything to her, let alone use obscene means to force her to submit.

In addition, the brothers and sisters of Que Yue'er also have a little-known thing in common, that is, both brothers and sisters are Xiongnu nobles who are pro-Han, because their mother is Han.It is also because of this that although their brothers and sisters were from the royal family of the Huns, they were not qualified to inherit the position of Shan Yu, and they were often criticized and slandered in private.

Therefore, Que Yue'er is very familiar with Han etiquette, can speak Chinese, knows Chinese characters, and likes Han books very much.Over time, the man she admired the most gradually took shape, that is, he must be as capable as her brother in both civil and martial arts, but also must be handsome, young and promising.If it is specific to a certain reference character, the rumored wise and powerful Xiliang coach Li Li is undoubtedly the best candidate.But Que Yue'er knew that this was absolutely impossible, not to mention that the Southern Xiongnu had always been enemies of Xiliang, Li Li's prominent and noble status alone made it impossible for her to fall in love with her, the daughter of a barbarian tribe.Although she is the daughter of the royal family of the Huns, she can be regarded as noble, but in the eyes of the Han people, she is no different from ordinary barbarians, and they are all barbarians who have not been transformed.

So Que Yue'er never thought that she could marry Li Li, but she was unwilling to wrong herself, so the marriage has been delayed until now, pending.What she never expected was that today, while following the wild horse Baixue, she ran into Li Li unexpectedly.The first time she saw Li Li, her heart fluttered, and her heart, which had been as firm as a rock, rippled along with it, so that she committed herself directly to Li Li by accident.When the two met for the first time, they met each other frankly within less than half an hour, and after that, they fought in the dark and dark, and they became husband and wife.The weirdest thing is that she still doesn't know Li Li's name after getting married, let alone Li Li's real identity.

It wasn't until Li Li revealed his identity that Que Yue'er woke up suddenly. She was pleasantly surprised, but at the same time worried and worried about gains and losses.

If she could really marry Li Li, Que Yue'er would definitely be willing, and it could even be said that she would have nothing else to ask for in this life, she would be willing to serve Li Li wholeheartedly and bear him children.However, at present, most of the territory of the Southern Huns has fallen into the hands of the Han army. The more than [-] Huns who were once powerful have been wiped out. It is dying, and death is imminent.At the time of the war between the two armies, she committed herself to Li Li. Que Yue'er was very uncertain about how Li Li would treat her in the future.She even secretly speculated whether Li Li was just looking for a quick fix.After taking her body and throwing it away like a shoe, just ignore it?

Although Li Li has stated that he is willing to take her back to Hanying, she will be Li Li's woman from now on.But Que Yue'er was still worried and worried, because Li Li still didn't know who her brother was, otherwise it would be hard to say that Li Li would still want her.

After bowing her head and pondering for a while, Que Yue'er didn't dare to look back at Li Li's expression, so she plucked up her courage and said in a low voice: "My brother is quite senior in the royal family of the Huns, and he is the uncle of Yu Fuluo Shanyu. But we, brother and sister, only It can be regarded as a collateral line, and is not qualified to inherit the position of Shan Yu. My brother is..."

"Go humble!" Before Que Yue'er could finish speaking, Li Li suddenly interjected.

Que Yue'er turned around in astonishment, and said in amazement: "How did Li Lang know my brother's name? Could it be that my brother offended Li Lang in the decisive battle between the two armies before? What should I do!"

"Hehehe!" Li Li smiled happily: "I thought you were thinking about something, so you were worried that your brother Qubei would have a grudge against me. If that's the case, you don't have to worry, Qubei didn't have a grudge against me ...and did not kill my generals. Therefore, your brother and I have no personal grievances. The conflict is that our army wants to recover the lost land of Hetao, and your brother is still helping Yu Fuluo to resist desperately. Since he is your brother, it is me Li Li's uncle; I can promise you, as long as he is willing to lead his troops to me, everything will never be blamed. I recognize him as a relative! Then you should feel at ease, right?"

"Li Lang's words are serious, are you making me happy?" Que Yue'er turned her head and asked in surprise.

"Boom!" Li Li kissed her heavily, and said with a smile, "You are thinking too much! Whether your brother Qubei has a grudge against me or not, it has nothing to do with you. After all, he is him and you are you. Although you are brothers and sisters, you all have your own ambitions, how can you generalize?

Furthermore, we Han people have always had a clear distinction between grievances and grievances. Women marry and obey their husbands. Since you are my Li Li's woman, I will take care of everything for you in the future. There is no doubt about this.The time we have spent together is too short, you don't know me yet, but I can tell you clearly that your man has always kept his word and kept his word, and he is definitely not someone who makes promises easily and keeps promises! "

"Hehehe!" Que Yue'er smiled, snuggled into Li Li's arms, and said happily: "This is the best! My brother has always loved me, never let me suffer a little bit of wronged, and never forced me to do things I don't like to do Two months ago, Yu Fuluo Chanyu's son Liu Bao came to propose marriage, but I rejected him immediately, but unexpectedly Liu Baotu met me poorly and tried to force me to submit. As a result, my brother stepped forward and led the tribal warriors Confronting Liu Bao, Yu Fuluo Shanyu finally came forward to stop the conflict, and left with an aggrieved Liu Bao. After this incident, his brother's situation became more and more worrisome, and he was not reused by the patriarch. He was only responsible for escorting cattle The sheep are heavy, and he is no longer allowed to be the vanguard. During the disastrous defeat in Qinglang Valley half a month ago, my brother escaped by chance and returned to the tribe with a dozen of his followers. He was ordered to go to the royal court yesterday. came back."

Li Li smiled slightly when he heard the words, knowing that the patriarch Que Yueer was talking about was the old king of the Xiongnu, he immediately laughed and said: "So, now you want me to meet your brother Qubei, one is to discuss the marriage, and the other is to take advantage of the situation to recruit him. Is it this way?"

Que Yue'er nodded in response, and smiled sweetly: "Li Lang is extremely wise, and what he said is not bad at all. My brother has always admired Han culture and respected the Han court. If you surrender to him, you will be successful in one fell swoop, and then your brother can help Li Lang quickly pacify the grassland, end this war as soon as possible, and reduce unnecessary casualties. After all, the current situation has been determined, and the current situation of the tribe has only two options. It is to follow the example of the Northern Huns and flee to the Western Regions, and the second is to completely surrender to Li Lang and move the whole family to Xiliang for resettlement. There is no other way."

"Well, what Yue'er said is reasonable." Li Li nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "At this point in the battle, the people who resist the most are undoubtedly the nobles, because this surrender is different from the past. Once they have to lead their troops to surrender, it means It means that their existing wealth will be destroyed once, and they will no longer be able to dominate. But I still say that everything must be carried out according to my Xiliang law, one is surrender, the other is relocation, and the other is Three dozen scattered ethnic groups were resettled and distributed."

"It is said that after Li Lang exterminated the Xiutu tribe earlier, he also implemented this set of laws, and the results are very good. Many Xiutu tribesmen have lived and worked in peace and contentment. They no longer have to lick blood on the knife edge and beat them all day There is no fixed place to live. Therefore, I am not opposed to my brother leading his troops to surrender, but I am happy to see it succeed. Because that is the peaceful day that the people of the tribe have longed for!" Que Yue'er said happily.

"Well, it's rare for Yue'er to understand righteousness deeply." Li Li nodded affirmatively.

Da da da!

Xi Yuyu!

With the sound of horseshoes coming from far and near, Li Li reined in his horse and stopped, but he saw that the people who came were Li Zhi who had returned to the camp in the morning and his thousand cavalry.

"The last general pays his respects to the lord!" Li Zhi reined in his horse, flew off his horse, walked up to Li Li, and said respectfully.

"Zicheng?" Li Li was slightly stunned, and then said, "Why are you waiting here? Could it be that you didn't leave this morning and have been dormant here?"

Li Zhi respectfully said, "Master Mingjian."At the end of the morning, he will indeed be ordered to return to the base camp.But the two wives were worried about the safety of the lord, so they ordered a thousand cavalry to escort the lord back to camp. "

"I see." Li Li nodded slightly, and immediately waved his hand, signaling Li Zhi to take the cavalry and go to the tribal base camp under the name of Que Yue'er and his sister.

A few moments later, when Li Li and his party appeared two hundred steps away from the Qubei tribe.But I saw a burly general in black armor wearing a battle armor and leading hundreds of troops to meet him slowly.

After seeing this scene, Li Li suddenly realized.It turned out that no one disturbed me when I was happy with Que Yue'er before.It was all due to Li Zhi leading the iron cavalry to block the gate of the Qubei tribe.If it weren't for the thousand cavalry led by Li Zhi to stop them.I'm afraid that when Li Li and Que Yue'er were in high spirits, Qubei had already led the tribal cavalry along the road to search for them, and then they would definitely catch them.If this is the case, then Li Li will be ashamed.

"Brother!" Seeing Qu Bei's leader coming up to meet him, Que Yue'er was afraid that there would be a misunderstanding between the two sides, so she immediately dismounted lightly.Qiaolian called Qubei happily, and was about to run quickly, but unexpectedly, the stride was too big, which caused the pain of breaking the body.Then he cried out in surprise.

At this time, Qubei hurried up to meet her, and quickly supported her sister, for fear that she would fall.Coincidentally, there was another person who reached out to support Que Yue'er at the same time as Qubei, and that person was Li Li.So the two held Que Yue'er's arms almost at the same time, one on the left and the other on the right, they had a very tacit understanding.

"Yue'er, what's wrong with you, you were fine yesterday, could it be that he hurt you?" Qubei stared at Li Li with an unfriendly expression, and asked anxiously.

"Brother, don't worry!" Que Yue'er immediately called out to Qu Bei, blushing with deep love, and introduced softly: "Brother, this is Li Lang."

"Li Lang? You,,," Qu Bei woke up suddenly in astonishment, pointed at his sister and Li Li in disbelief, and immediately didn't know what to do.

"Brother is well, Li Li and Li Wenchang are in Xiaxi Liang, please forgive me for being presumptuous." Li Li said with a calm expression.

"Li Li, Li Wenchang!" Qu Beiwen's expression changed, and he exclaimed in surprise.

Li Li nodded in response; "I'm right here. I don't know what advice my brother has for me?"

"This,,," Qu Bei opened his mouth to say something, but he was speechless, but his eyes turned on Li Li, and then he looked at the Han army cavalry led by Li Zhi, as if he had realized where nod.

Immediately he bowed and said: "The sinner will go to pay respects to the general, and if you offend, please ask the general Haihan."

Seeing that Qubei was so knowledgeable, Li Li smiled calmly, raised his hand and said: "General Qubei is exempt from courtesy. As the saying goes, those who don't know don't blame, and the general doesn't have to worry about it. Besides, we will be a family in the future, why should we divide each other! Hehe hehe!"

"Uh!" Qu Bei was stunned, looked at his younger sister Que Yue'er, only to see her nodding slightly shyly, how could he still not understand such a situation.Obviously, the sister who has always had a very high vision has found her husband and son-in-law this time, and the two have achieved good things.It's just that what he can't figure out is how his sister and Li Li from Xiliang met together. This is really,,, really great!

Right now, the King's Court of the Xiongnu is being attacked by the Han army, and it is in danger, and the city will definitely be broken within half a month.Once the royal court is captured by the Han army, it means that the southern Xiongnu royal court, which has occupied Hetao and Bingzhou for more than a hundred years, will be completely defeated. , the catastrophe of genocide is in sight.It was precisely because he saw that his side's defeat had been decided, Qu Bei was ordered to go to the royal court to serve, but he escaped with his troops and went straight back to the tribal garrison without paying attention.He didn't expect to run into Li Li's war cavalry at the door of his house, which shocked him so much that he felt uneasy, wondering how the Han army found the tribe.

Until now, seeing his sister's shy and sweet expression, Qubei understood everything in an instant.The sister who had always looked down upon the princes and nobles of the Xiongnu met her nemesis this time, and Li Li broke through the girl's unique reserve so quickly and took it down in one fell swoop.However, this change came at the right time, which is equivalent to saving the lives of the entire Qubei tribe and his future and destiny in Qubei.

Therefore, Qubei quickly came over in an instant, and immediately showed a gesture of surrender, calling himself a sinner, and frankly and unmistakably expressed his will to surrender.

"General Qubei, you don't have to be polite. We need the help of the general to attack Bingzhou in the future, please!" Seeing that Qubei was so direct, Li Li didn't beat around the bush, and directly stated that he accepted Qubei's surrender, and pointed out that he must He will be given important tasks, and he will also have the opportunity to lead the army independently.

Chapter 598

(Thanks to: book friends Liu Tianlei Xinlong, Abyss Tsar book friends monthly support, thank you!)

On a cold rainy night, the wind is howling, and the streets and alleys are extremely cold.

Under the slanting wind and drizzle, a group of pedestrians wearing black hats hurriedly walked into the Xiuwu Pavilion post, and then lived in the East Wing.
