Xiaoqi

Going up the stairs, with the support of two Meiji left and right, Yu Fuluo got up with difficulty, leaned on the couch, coughed violently, and then panted like a cow, his body was extremely weak.

After panting for a while, Yu Fuluo waved his hand to push away the servants and soldiers, while Hu Chuquan walked quickly to the bed, holding the brocade quilt with one hand, as if he was afraid that the brocade would be loose and fall to Yu Fuluo, he was careful and thoughtful .

"Brother Quan, you have worked hard these days." Seeing Hu Chuquan being so considerate and considerate, Yu Fuluo, who was pale, grinned and said softly.

"Brother is out of touch. You and I are brothers of the same mother. There is no need to be so polite." Hu Chuquan responded with a smile.

"Well, what my brother said is reasonable." Yu Fuluo nodded happily, and said with a light smile: "I have lived in Han for a long time for my brother, and I have dealt with Han people all the year round. It is inevitable that I will be contaminated with some Han red tape. Brother, don't blame me."

Hu Chuquan smiled and said: "Brother is too modest. The etiquette of the Han people has a long history and has a history of thousands of years. It is by no means comparable to that of the Huns. This is a matter of great benefit and no harm. We should follow suit a lot, and we can also do it for the future. I use it. Brother Yu has always respected elder brother precisely because he is well-informed and speaks elegantly, which amazes me. In the future, brother Yu will definitely listen to elder brother's teachings, apply what he has learned, and live up to his high expectations."

Yu Fuluo smiled knowingly, and said softly with feelings: "The culture of the Han people is indeed worth learning, especially in farming, textile handicrafts and weapons, which are far beyond the reach of the Huns. In addition, the Han people's military books are obscure, but As long as you persist in studying carefully, you will gain something. My brother has lived in the Shangdang for these years. Although he has not expanded many troops, he has read a lot of Han books and benefited a lot. It is a pity that he has not yet used it, but has faced such a disastrous failure that it has affected the entire The tribe is trapped, it's all Yu Fuluo's fault!"

"Brother, don't blame yourself, don't get angry, it's important to take care of your body!" Seeing Yu Fuluo's expression was quite agitated, Hu Chuquan hurriedly dissuaded him, for fear that Yu Fuluo would make a mistake.The brotherhood is beyond words.It is touching!

Hearing the sound, Yu Fuluo shook his head slightly and said, "I know my body best. The injury this time is too serious, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover. There is a saying in Han people that 'one misstep will cause eternal hatred', and I am like this this time. As the commander-in-chief of a large army, he fights in front of the battle. Take the lead, this is the taboo of a commander-in-chief. One general is incapable of affecting the whole army. It is my own fault that I have fallen to where I am today. I can’t blame anyone, but it’s a pity that a big mistake has already been made, and I regret it It's too late!"

Hu Chuquan was dejected when he heard the words, and comforted him with good words: "This is the end, and regretting is useless. The most important thing right now is, what will we do in the future? Now the royal city is besieged by the Han army. Even the scouts can't Going out of the city, it is naturally impossible to receive news from the outside. After three days, there are already signs of water shortage in the city, and the order is chaotic. People are in a state of panic. If this situation continues, within ten days, the royal city will be destroyed by itself. I will also become a prisoner of the Han army, life is worse than death! I wonder what my brother has planned for this?"

Yu Fuluo nodded lightly, and said in a low voice: "I know all of this. When I retreated to the royal city, I thought of today's situation. Brother Quan, don't need to be anxious. I have a plan for my brother, and I will talk to you later. know."

After taking a breath, Yu Fuluo asked softly: "Is there any news from the leaders of Budugen, Fuluohan, Qianbu and other ministries? They should have escaped from the pursuit of the Han army, right?"

"Well, what my brother said is right." Hu Chuquan nodded in response, and then said in detail: "In the battle of Qinglang Valley, our army was almost wiped out, and only more than ten thousand troops escaped from the valley. Evacuate before the army encircles the valley, otherwise it may be a disaster. On that day, Brother Yu and the leaders of the various ministries escaped from the valley dangerously. Unexpectedly, the vanguard troops of the Han army followed and chased them for hundreds of miles. It was not until the heavy rain fell. Retreat. After the war, only a few thousand of the tens of thousands of tribes who escaped from the valley were left, and the rest fell into the hands of the Han army. They were either captured or killed, and there would be no good end after all. Afterwards, Bu Dugen, Fu Luo Han and Qian Bu The three leaders also escaped smoothly, and followed us to the king's city to temporarily avoid the edge. But these three guys are all unfamiliar white-eyed wolves, they are really hateful!"

Speaking of this, Hu Chuquan looked excited, and said angrily with righteous indignation: "Three days ago, the Han army approached the city. Bu Dugen, Fu Luohan, and Qian Bu led their troops to escape from the city while the city was not surrounded by the Han army. Go. Before that, they were still swearing in front of me that they would fight against the Han army with us and defend Gaoliu City to the death. However, when the Han army came, they abandoned me as if they didn’t care, and led their troops without saying a word They ran for their lives in a panic. Therefore, they must have escaped from the pursuit of the Han army and fled back to the base camp!"

Seeing Huchuquan's furious expression, Yu Fuluo shook his head slightly indifferently, and said in a low voice, "There is a Chinese proverb: 'Husbands and wives are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes'. Are those allies who came here for profit? So brothers don’t need to be angry, Bu Dugen and others are not worthy of our brothers’ anger. But it’s a good thing for us that they escaped without permission.”

Hu Chuquan's expression was shocked when he heard the words, a gleam of light flashed across his eyes, and he pretended to be puzzled and asked anxiously: "What do you mean by this, brother? How come the more you listen, the more you become confused, brother, please tell me clearly."

Although Yu Fuluo looked terminally ill, his face was pale and bloodless, and his spirit was sluggish, but at this moment his eyes were deep and unpredictable.Hu Chuquan's eager look made him very useful, he seemed to enjoy the scene of being asked for advice by his younger brother, the more eager his younger brother wanted to know, the calmer he became, and he was calm and calm, as if only in this way could he show Yu Fuluo's personality Wisdom and wisdom.

"Brother Quan, do you know why I joined forces with other grassland tribes to send troops to plunder Beidi County?" Yu Fuluo asked in a low voice, panting.

"This,,, I don't know, brother, please tell me clearly." Hu Chuquan hated Yu Fuluo's face that was pretending to be unpredictable, and it was like this every time, and it made him sick to see it.

However, only Yu Fuluo knew about this matter, and the others had no way of knowing it, and this was precisely the secret that Hu Chuquan wanted to know most urgently.Otherwise, he wouldn't have to talk nonsense with Yu Fuluo, he would have done it long ago.

And the importance of this is self-evident.Right now, the royal court of the Huns is besieged by the Han army, whether they can get out of the trap, and what to do in the future, all lie in Fu Luo's mind.Therefore, Hu Chuquan had no choice but to trick Yu Fuluo out of his mouth useful secrets. After Yu Fuluo told everything, it was time for him to send his brother on the road.

But at this moment, Hu Chuquan had to pretend to be respectful and asking for advice, because Yu Fuluo's next words were very important to him.If he couldn't keep the King's court and the tribesmen of the Huns, why would he try so hard to seize the position of Shan Yu, let alone bear the crime of murdering his brother and usurping the throne; , will eventually come to naught.

However, Hu Chuquan knew that Yu Fuluo seemed to be confident, and he had already planned his retreat in his heart, hiding many secrets that no one knew.And these are exactly what Hu Chuquan urgently needs to know, as long as Yu Fuluo tells the whole story, and then tells the way to get out of the predicament, then Shan Yu's position will be valuable, and it will be worth Hu Chuquan killing his brother to usurp the throne.

"Brother Quan, don't worry, let me tell you carefully." This is Yu Fuluo's mantra. Hu Chuquan has heard it tens of thousands of times since he was a child, and his ears can get calluses.In fact, he hated Fu Luo's tone so much that he was already overwhelmed. Unfortunately, now he had to restrain his mind, put on an appearance of listening attentively, and suffer another torment.But this is the last time, and he will never have to endure this inhuman torture again.

Yu Fuluo seemed to have enjoyed enough, and finally stopped torturing Hu Chuquan, and stopped making vague remarks.After he took a deep breath, he said frankly: "Brother, I haven't done much in Shangdang County these years, but I will take up any profitable things, good or bad. I don't know about murder, kidnapping, and extortion. How much have you done. Over time, you have contacts with the princes of the Central Plains. Last year, my brother was invited by Yuan Shu to join forces with the Black Mountain bandit Sui Gu and the governor of Yanzhou Jin Shang to attack Cao Cao in Yanzhou. Although he was defeated in the end, my brother got what he wanted. Qian Liang. This time the united grassland ministries invaded Beidi County in Liangzhou was also entrusted by others. In addition, my brother had been thinking about returning to Wangcheng all these years, so the two sides hit it off, and this is how all the wars that have occurred in the past two months have occurred. "

Speaking of this, Yu Fuluo looked a little excited, opened his mouth and took two quick deep breaths, and then continued: "Xiliang Li Li is indeed not easy to mess with, he is too powerful, so powerful that it is frightening! Send troops Before, I never thought that 10,000 stones of grain and grass would be able to persuade all the grassland ministries to mobilize, and then when 16+ troops appeared in front of me, I was overjoyed. After that, I did not follow the wishes of my employer, and changed the harassment of Xiliang to A large-scale attack on Beidi County, trying to use the food and grass funded by the Han people to rebuild their achievements, capture Liangzhou, and reproduce the former scenery of our Great Huns. However, what I never expected is that the Xiliang Army under Li Li’s command is not only strong in combat effectiveness, but also capable of fighting. People came forth in large numbers, and conspiracies and tricks emerged one after another, which caused our army to suffer a crushing defeat, losing nearly [-] grassland warriors, and almost ruining all the people who controlled the grassland tribes.

To this day, I, Yu Fuluo, conceded the defeat, I was convinced, I lost completely, and I lost the entire Hetao Grassland to the Xiliang Army.However, there is still a glimmer of life for our court of the Huns. This is a retreat that I carefully prepared long before I sent troops. "

As soon as he mentioned the key point, Yu Fuluo committed his usual old habit again, panting heavily when speaking, which made Hu Chuquan secretly resentful, wishing to strangle him to death.

Chapter 604 What a desolate moment of youth

(Thanks to: Long live the honest man, book friends reward and encourage, thank you!)

But this time Hu Chuquan wrongly blamed Yu Fuluo.

Yufro's pause this time was not pretending to be mysterious, nor was he pretending to be profound, but his health was really bad, and he had difficulty breathing when he was agitated, which made it difficult for him to finish speaking in one breath.

"Hum-huh-huh!"

After panting for a while, Yu Fuluo said shortly: "The prince of the Central Plains who secretly funded me is Yuan Shao of Jizhou. His original intention is to let me lead the grassland warriors to attack Liangzhou. He doesn't need to fight the Xiliang army head-on. He just needs to hold Li Li He can take care of the army if he has no time.

To this end, Yuan Shao secretly subsidized me with 15 shi of grain and grass, 25 gold, 15 carts of silk and satin, and [-] beauties.After the defeat of Chiyang City, I asked him for another [-] stones of grain and grass, adding up to [-] stones of grain and grass.And the first time I only used [-] shi of grain and grass to persuade the various ministries to send troops to form an army of [-]; the second time I used [-] shi of grain and grass to urge them to increase their troops again.In addition, I sent thirty beauties sent by Yuan Shao to the leaders of the various ministries, so that they were willing to recommend me as the commander of the army. "

Taking a deep breath again, Yu Fuluo said in a low voice: "Now that our royal court of the Huns is trapped, Yuan Shao must have gotten the news at this moment, and then he will join forces with the princes of the Central Plains to form an allied army and attack Sili on a large scale. At that time, Li Li will be attacked by the enemy. It is inevitable to withdraw our troops and return to the south, and our family can turn the crisis into safety; if Li Li does not withdraw our troops, we can hold on for half a month and lead the army to break through. Then we will go directly to Shangdang County, where I have accumulated 10,000+ stones, grain, grass and grass over the years A large amount of money is enough to provide food and clothing for the entire Xiongnu family for three years, so that we can make a comeback!"

After Yu Fuluo told the truth, Hu Chuquan stood up straight, walked slowly in front of Yu Fuluo, and looked down at Yu Fuluo who was out of breath.With a cold expression, he said in a deep voice: "So that's the case. Thank you brother for telling me the truth, otherwise I was really worried that all the planning would be in vain in the end. Now you can leave with peace of mind. I will take care of all the rest. Don't bother you."

While talking, Hu Chuquan sat on the edge of his gums, with his right hand lightly resting on Yufulo's injured chest.At this moment, he only needs to press down with his palm, and he can open Yufro's wound that is still bleeding; just such a light press is enough to kill Yufro.

Seeing the indifferent and vicious look on his younger brother Hu Chuquan's face.Yu Fuluo was inexplicably horrified, with an expression of disbelief on his face.He never dreamed that his younger brother, who had always been respectful and cautious in front of him, actually harbored evil intentions, and even hid them so well and deeply.Let yourself be unaware until now that your true colors are revealed.

"Wait a minute!" Hu Chuquan's right arm was bent for a moment.Yu Fuluo suddenly came back to his senses.He shouted sharply and called Chu Quan to stop.

Hu Chuquan was slightly startled when he heard the sound, and his right arm, which was already bulging with veins, rested on Fu Luo's chest, and the palm was only two inches away from the center of the knife wound.

Squinting coldly at Yu Fuluo's frightened face, Hu Chuquan said in a cold voice, "Why do you still have something to say? If there are still good things like just now, you can say as much as possible; if you want to beg for mercy and live .Then don’t open your mouth, you must die today!”

Yu Fuluo swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, choked and rolled his eyes, his eyes fixed on Hu Chuquan's stern and cold eyes.In addition to being shocked, my heart was desolate.This is the younger brother who grew up with him, and this is the younger brother whom he has always cared for and trusted?

At this moment, Yu Fuluo suddenly felt that there was really no need for the Southern Huns to continue to exist, and they should have perished long ago.

It is really sad to live in such a tribe without family affection and human touch. Life has no value except for endless killing and greedy possession.After the death of the father, the son can occupy all the concubines left by the father except the biological mother, and inherit all the inheritance, without humanity.What's more, if the son dies young, the father can even take the son's wives, concubines, money, and pastures for himself, just like taking back all the livestock under the son's name.This is the law of tribal survival, as ruthless as wolves, even more vicious than wolves; at least wolves usually don't eat the corpses of their companions, but people do.

th.In a sudden change of mind, Yu Fuluo Fangfo sees through life and death, ignores all world affairs, completely gives up, and accepts his fate.I think Yu Fuluo hunted and killed wolves at the age of 13, fought with his father Qiangqu on the battlefield at the age of 14, became a tribal warrior at the age of 17, and was hailed as the Eagle of the Huns at the age of 20. .Life is like this, how sad, how desolate!

"How is Leopard? How will you treat him after I die?" Yu Fuluo asked in a hoarse voice.He said this sentence without any emotion, as if he was talking about a person or something that had nothing to do with him, his expression was extremely indifferent, his face showed no emotional fluctuations, pale and dull.

However, Hu Chuquan could tell that even though Chu Fuluo had accepted his fate, he was still worried about his son Liu Bao. When he was dying, he did not forget to fight for his son's chance of survival.It can be seen that Yu Fuluo has been completely Sinicized after staying in the territory of the Han people these years, and he still misses his son when he dies, and he has learned the heart of the Han people to lick and protect the calf.

At this point, Hu Chuquan inexplicably felt a sympathy, slowly withdrew his right hand, sat on the edge of the bed, and said in a low voice: "That child Bao'er is very likable, although his personality is a little impulsive, but he is brave and sincere. So I will not kill him. After you die, I will seal him to inherit your title, let him succeed Youxian King, and still lead your tribe. It's just that you don't have many tribes and tribesmen now, Chi Yangcheng In the two disastrous defeats against Qinglang Valley, your tribe suffered heavy casualties, and now there are only a thousand soldiers and two to three thousand tribesmen left, and they are no longer as strong as they used to be."

After hearing the words, Yu Fuluo's expression remained unchanged, seemingly indifferent, but Hu Chuquan still noticed his eyebrows twitching slightly.Obviously, Yuvro's heart is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface.

"If I die suddenly, how will you explain it to the nobles of the tribe and explain it to the tribe?" Yu Fuluo asked in a deep voice.

Hu Chuquan grinned coldly, "What's so difficult about it? My brother's knife wound recurred, and the wound burst open and died. At that time, I just need to bring the noble chiefs to come to check the wound in person, and I will know at a glance. There is no need to explain, and there is no need to confess!"

Yu Fuluo was silent when he heard the sound.Then he slowly closed his eyes, and said in a low voice: "The injury on my body has no possibility of recovery, and I am just lingering on my last breath, but you are so eager to put me to death. Why? Just wait a few more days, I will die without your hands. Don’t you even have this little patience? You are so eager for quick success, how will you manage the tribe in the future, and how will you lead the tribe to grow stronger?”

"Hahaha!" Hu Chuquan laughed out loud when he heard the words, the laughter was cold and piercing.Unscrupulous.After restraining his laughter a bit, he glared at Yu Fuluo sullenly, and said sarcastically, "You're right. Originally, I could have waited for you to die from serious injuries, and then I would have naturally ascended to the throne of Shan Yu. But your husband Rob is more eager for quick success than me. Can't wait, you are a dying person. You still can't forget the position of Shan Yu. Do I have to wait any longer?

Maybe you don't know until now that the reason why you were blocked from the territory by the nobles back then was the result of my own planning, the purpose is to prevent you from returning to the royal city to take the throne.It's a pity that you took away the most elite [-] cavalry in the tribe, and then thousands of people came to join you.As a result, the soldiers and horses in my hands were weak, and I was unable to ascend to the position of Shanyu. Instead, I was hijacked and used by Hou Bu Gudu, and I stayed dormant for many years.

Now you are going to die.But he was still thinking about Shan Yu's throne.do you know?Like you, I have coveted Shan Yu's position for many years. You have been waiting for many years, but I have been dormant for so many years!These days I have worked so hard to prepare for the enthronement ceremony, you think I am doing so hard for you, it is ridiculous!I was organizing the enthronement ceremony for myself, and it has nothing to do with you Yu Fuluo. Now that everything is ready, you should be on your way! "

Before the words fell, Hu Chuquan suddenly thought of something, and then said: "Oh, right! Don't you really want to know why I am so eager to take the position of Shan Yu? Now I can tell you, let you do it when you are dying. You and I are not in vain. The reason why I did this is because I am the rightful tribal leader after Ji’s father, but you are not Yu Fuluo! Although the Han people know that you are the Southern Xiongnu Shanyu Yu, but you have not officially ascended the throne, and the tribal people will not recognize your name as Shanyu. If you wait for you to sit on the position of Shanyu tomorrow, even if you die tomorrow afternoon, it will be me, Shanyu, the Hun, who will inherit Shanyu later. I am not the only one who takes the throne, but also your precious son Liu Bao. A wise man would not do such a trivial matter, so I have no patience to wait any longer, so I have to let you die the day before you ascend the throne, and I will leave it to you tomorrow Take the position of Shan Yu directly. How can I miss such a best of both worlds?"

Hu Chuquan's words were heartbreaking, which made Yu Fuluo, who had already closed his eyes, suddenly stare angrily, and shouted angrily: "Hu Chuquan, don't forget, there are tens of thousands of Han troops besieging the city outside the city. , It is possible to break into the city at any time. You are really stupid to kill your brother and usurp the throne at this time! Once the Han army breaks through the city, what can you do even if you sit on the throne of Shanyu? Die worse than now!"

"Hahaha!" Hu Chuquan was excited by Yu Fuluo's dismay, and laughed heartily, "You are right, the Han army is very strong, and our 10,000+ army was wiped out by the Han army. I was really worried before. , I was worried that as soon as I took the seat of Shanyu, the city would be captured by the Han army without my butt getting hot, and I would die without a place to die. That's why I humbly ask you for advice. I hope to learn something useful from you. I didn't expect you to hide a lot of good things; not only a large amount of food, grass and money, but also powerful allies like Yuan Shao, and they will send troops to attack the Xiliang army's rear later. If this is the case, what else do I have to worry about? Yes; you only need to defend the city for half a month, and when the Great War breaks out in the Central Plains, everything will be solved naturally. And these are all thanks to you, otherwise I really need to carefully consider whether to let you live for two more days. Now there is no need Think about it, you can die!"

"Ah!" The moment Hu Chuquan's voice fell, he suddenly shot and pressed Yu Fuluo's wound hard, causing Yu Fuluo to cry out in pain.
