Chapter Eighty-Three: Desolation


The wind was like a knife, the wind and snow whimpered, and the heavy snow covered the vast prairie with a layer of silver, and death and killing were gradually buried in the snow.

It's cold, but it's not cold, Kirby can take less than two thousand remnants to ride a horse in the snow, a camp in front of him has been abandoned, on the ground, a frozen corpse is all over the camp, under the cover of heavy snow, only the general outline can be seen, and even many people still maintain the posture before death, it can be seen that they have experienced a tragic fight, but in the end, they still lost.

The Xianbei warriors who followed behind Kirbineng saw the tragic situation of these clansmen, but they were not as angry as before, some were only numb and deeply desperate.

"Are the Han people going to be killed" Kirby Neng's eyes flashed with anger and despair, he had tried his best to maneuver, and even shook hands with Karasuma Bandun, and joined forces to fight to the death with Lu Bu in the Danhan Pass, but the final result was that the last morale of the entire Xianbei clan was destroyed, and Bandun died in battle, Xianbei gathered 50,000 troops under Lu Bu's pursuit all the way, and finally escaped with Kirby, only 2,000 remained.

Before the decisive battle, Kirby could always think that Lu Bu only had these 10,000 cavalry, but at the time of the decisive battle, the real main force he faced was the 30,000 infantry army, the strong Xianbei iron cavalry, and finally defeated under the infantry phalanx of the Han army, and then was pursued by Lu Bu all the way to the Liao River from the Khan Mountain.

Kirby Neng was very suspicious that the reason why Lu Bu kept hanging them to fight, but he never swallowed up their remnants, in order to follow behind them and uproot these Xianbei tribes one by one, but Kirby Neng couldn't help but escape, stop, or die "King, this is already the last tribe in this area, let's move north."

The deputy general Moro came to Kirbineng's side with people and said astringently.

The most prosperous period of the Xianbei people, the region from the Western Regions in the west, to the west of Liaoxi, to the north to Ding Ling, the territory is vast, not under the Han Dynasty, although now in the Han border area was almost wiped out by Lu Bu, but further north, in the former Ding Ling tribe, there are still a large number of Xianbei people breeding there, Kirby can not be as willing to be a lackey of the Han people as Kuitou, and now he can only move north, but the north is not as rich as the water and grass in the south, and the climate is also colder, and the harsh environment, It has always been a place where Xianbei people do not want to live.

Kirby can look ahead, rub his numb face fiercely, did not speak, just fled like a lost dog, and Kirby can go to Ding Ling, if he leads his troops to move north, in his lifetime, I am afraid it will be difficult to see the prosperity of the Han people.

"Can't move north" for a long time, Kirby Neng finally made a decision, shook his head and said: "Go further east and go to Louban" "Lou Ban" Moro puzzled.

"Well, Lou Ban, as soon as he dies, this Karasuma is only left with Lou Ban, this time Lu Bu invaded the north, Karasuma is also the target of Lu Bu's attack, we are looking for Lou Ban to cooperate, everyone joins forces, and only then can we have a chance to survive."

Kirby could say in a deep voice.

When Moro heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, he remembered that when Kirby was able to negotiate with Crash, he also used a similar statement, and then Crash was beheaded by Lu Bu, I don't know if this time, Lou Ban will be equally unlucky.

"Wenhou, within 800 miles to the east of Danhan Mountain, the Xianbei people are almost extinct, are we still chasing" A hundred miles away, in a temporary military camp, a border army general rushed to the tent and said to Lu Bu.

"What do you think of filial piety" Lu Bu didn't answer, but looked at the young man beside him and asked, this is the military advisor that Liu Xie assigned to him, Fa Zheng, the son of Fa Yan, who is quite valued by Liu Xie, originally Lu Bu thought that it was just Liu Xie who was sent to mix with him, and he didn't care, but after a series of actions, Fa Zheng proved himself with his ability, this war in the north is not as simple as the information received by the Central Plains. provoked Xianbei Koubian, and then Lu Bu appeared as a hero, not only helping the border army to repel the Xianbei people's Koubian, but also chasing and killing Baili, and forcibly killing a large tribe of Xianbei, so that Lu Bu successfully won the admiration of all the border troops.

Then it was to stir up the contradiction between Karasuma and Gongsun Du, and then in the name of rescue, he annexed Liaoxi, so that Lu Bu had a foothold in Youzhou.

"I don't think I'm chasing."

Fa Zheng smiled.

Lu Bu nodded subconsciously, and then felt that something was wrong, and looked up at Fa Zheng in amazement: "Don't chase" "Not bad" Fa Zheng's eyes flashed with a shimmer of wisdom, and said with a smile: "Wen Hou, have you forgotten the main purpose of our coming to Youzhou this time?"

"Naturally, I remember, it's just that now Xianbei and Karasuma are greatly injured, wouldn't it be a pity if you don't take the opportunity to eradicate them" Lu Bu said with some regret, Liu Xie asked him to come over for Youzhou, and fighting Karasuma and Xianbei was just incidental.

"It's not a pity."

Fa Zheng said with a smile: "Danhan Mountain moves, Xianbei is almost extinct, that Kirby can have some ability, but at the moment there are only more than a thousand soldiers and horses in his hands, it is almost impossible to pose a threat to our army, and Karasuma is now with the death of the collapse, the building class has no size, although it is the son of Qiu Liju, but the prestige is difficult to convince the public, Kirby can now only have two roads, one is to go north and escape away, to avoid the edge of our army, if so, within ten years, the border pass does not need to worry about Xianbei." ” "What about the other one" Lu Bu nodded when he heard this, he also felt that this Eastern Xianbei had nothing to do.

"The second way is to cling to Karasuma," Fa Zheng said confidently, "And I think that with Kirbyneng's heart, most of them will choose the second way." ” "Why is that?"

Lu Bu wondered.

"Lou Ban is difficult to convince the public, Kirby can be a warrior of the grassland, and he will definitely be able to make his prestige great, and Kirby can only have more than a thousand Xianbei warriors around him, and he doesn't have to worry about him rebelling, so Lou Ban will definitely accept Kirbyneng's dependence, but that Kirby can not be willing to be a descendant for a long time, and cholera will be born inside Karasuma."

Fa Zheng explained.

"And the second thing, whether Karasuma or Xianbei, after this battle, the courage has been lost, in a short period of time, I am afraid that I don't have the courage to dare to invade the south again, if our army continues to press step by step at this time, no matter what Kirby can think, but this person has a big picture of the situation, will not be difficult, but take the initiative to help Louban rectify the tribe, unite against our army, if our army leaves, for a long time, Kirby can probably not be willing to be subordinate, will inevitably seize power, our army just took this opportunity to help His Majesty attack Youzhou, encircle Yuan Shao, and trap it to Xianbei and Karasuma, As long as Jizhou is captured, our dynasty will dominate half of the country, and it will not be a problem to kill or capture at that time. ” "Okay, then follow the words of filial piety" Lu Bu heard this, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, remembering that he came to join Yuan Shao back then, but encountered all kinds of unfair treatment and suspicion, and the evil fire in his heart rushed up, at this time, he didn't care about cleaning up the remnants of Karasuma, and being able to clean up Yuan Shao was the biggest goal in his heart.

"Order the three armies, pull out the camp and raise the village, and withdraw to Liaoxi" Lu Bu slapped the table and said.

Although the heavy snow is coming, but the snow on the ground is not thick at this time, if this snow is allowed to fall for a few more days, it will be difficult for them to return to Liaoxi, in fact, even if there is no Fa Zheng this set of rhetoric, Lu Bu is not ready to continue to chase, just on the side, he knows very well how bad the living environment of the grassland will be once the heavy snow falls, and they will not bring much food with them on this expedition.

The heavy snow in the north is flourishing, but the heavy snow in the area of Wei County has stopped, between the heaven and the earth, the white expanse, looking at it, people have an indescribable sense of loneliness in their hearts.

Ruixue is a good year Standing at the window, looking at the snow scene outside the window, Liu Xie thought in his heart, I don't know if there is such a sentence in this era or whether the people have such a consciousness, but after this heavy snowfall, as long as it is more stable next year, the harvest will definitely not be too bad.

Perhaps because Liu Xie is stationed here, after the heavy snowfall, Liyang City is a lot lively, as the imperial court takes over the three counties of Jizhou, some traders who smell business opportunities have begun to set up shops here, and many things that have not been circulated outside in Guanzhong have also flowed into the folk of Jizhou little by little with the arrival of these traders, and imperceptibly, some folk ideas in Guanzhong have flowed into Jizhou.

This is a good thing for Liu Xie, business should be valued, but this kind of thing, is a double-edged sword, Liu Xieshi should pay attention to the control of business, business to prosper, but must not be out of control, once business out of control, it will become a wild horse, not only hurt others, but also hurt themselves.

Although compared with later generations, the business structure established by Liu Xie is still very backward, but it is more suitable for the control of the imperial court, he does not need to copy the experience of later generations, what he needs to do is to plan the rules of business, and then monitor the intensity to keep up, the Zhen family, the Zhang family and the Su family, etc., these merchant families who have entered the royal commercial house, although the interests are huge, but the imperial court supervises them the most.

For profit-seeking businessmen, Liu Xie does not expect the loyalty of these businessmen, but he needs to be able to absolutely control the lifeblood of these businessmen, so that they cannot escape their control, just like now, although these businessmen are rich, but Liu Xie can make them lose everything as long as he says a word, these business families are in control, it is not difficult to diagnose at all, as long as they can grasp their lifeblood and the right to speak, it is enough, Liu Xie can provide them with status, but this status must be dependent on the imperial power to take effect, Once out of the imperial power, Liu Xie can play to kill them in minutes.

"Your Majesty" Zhen Yao came in from outside the door, looked at Liu Xie, and bowed.

"How are things going" Liu Xie turned his head, glanced at Zhen Yao, and smiled.

"It's been done, the Mi family has promised to secretly join the firm, but the Mi family is in Xuzhou at all, and it is impossible for the family to join."

Zhen Yao said.

"It's okay, it's enough."

The corners of Liu Xie's mouth pulled into a smile. t1706231537:
