"Oh? Yuan Xi has bowed his head?"
Yang Ling was refreshed and asked quickly.
"Reporting to General Wu Guan, Yuan Xi was too cunning and had already fled in advance when he saw that the situation was not going well."
A flash of regret flashed across Xianyu's face,
"However, he fled in a hurry, leaving behind the governor's seal and with less than a hundred people around him."
"Prefect Xianyu need not be upset. Although Yuan Xi is still alive, having all his power destroyed will be even more uncomfortable than death."
Yang Ling smiled and reassured them, then changed the topic and asked,
"I just heard from Mr. Guorang that Yuan Xi went north to join the Wuhuan people?"
"good."
Tian Yu nodded,
"Right now, there is only one way to survive for him."
Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou have all been occupied by Cao Cao. Even if Liu Biao, Sun Quan and others are willing to accept Yuan Xi, he has no way to go south.
For the current plan, the only way to survive is to go to Wuhuan, the three counties that have good relations with the Yuan family.
Yang Ling thought for a while and smiled at Yan Rou,
"Captain Yan, I heard that you have a good relationship with the Wuhuan people. Would you like to go on my behalf to persuade Wuhuan to surrender and ask them to hand over Yuan Xi."
"My subordinate is willing to go."
Yan Rou nodded in agreement, paused, and then said,
"But I'm afraid I will disappoint Mr. Wu Guanzhong."
"Oh, why is that?"
"There has been war in the north for many years. Many people in Ji, You, Qingzhou and other places fled to Wuhuan in the three counties."
Yan Rou explained,
"After Wuhuan's leader Tadun Shanyu unified Wuhuan, he was already powerful. Now he has hundreds of thousands of Han people, and his army and horses are even stronger."
"My subordinates have long heard that Tadun is ambitious and intends to imitate the Xiongnu Maodun Shanyu and Xianbei Tanshihuai."
"Under such circumstances, how could he hand over Yuan Xi?"
As expected of the Colonel of Wuhuan, Yan Rou knew the Wuhuan people so well.
"It doesn't matter. Colonel Yan just needs to take a trip."
Yang Ling smiled.
"Subordinates take orders!"
Yan Rou cupped her fists and accepted the order.
…
Wuhuan Royal Court.
Liucheng.
"...It's all because Yang Ling was so cunning that King Nanlou died in battle..."
Yuan Xi burst into tears and slowly talked about the decisive battle with Yang Ling.
Sitting in the center of the tent was a Wuhuan man with luxurious clothes and a fierce face.
He is the Tadun Chanyu of Wuhuan!
After listening to Yuan Xi's words, Tadun Shanyu was not angry, but showed a ferocious smile.
"You are not to blame for King Nanlou's death. Master, don't blame yourself too much! If there is a chance in the future, we will definitely avenge King Nanlou!"
Yuan Xi was very happy when he heard this.
He originally thought that Tadun Chanyu would blame himself for the death of King Nanlou and the 20,000 Wuhuan people.
But I didn't expect that Tadun Shanyu would be so kind!
"Thank you very much, Shanyu! I still have a grudge. I hope Shanyu can send troops to attack Yangling and avenge King Nanlou and our Yuan family!"
When Yuan Xi talked about this, he gritted his teeth.
Thinking back to the time when the Yuan family was sitting on the land of four states, how beautiful it was.
However, just because of Yang Ling, the Yuan family declined in just two or three years, and he himself became a loser!
"This matter is important, I need to discuss it with the elders of the clan."
Tadun Shanyu did not refuse, he just smiled and said,
"Young Master has come a long way, so you might as well go down and rest for now."
"Okay, then please leave it to Shanyu!"
Yuan Xi bowed gratefully, got up and left with the servant next to him.
When his figure disappeared into the tent, the smile on Tadun Shanyu's face quickly disappeared.
"Chanyu, the Yuan family no longer exists, and Yuan Xi only has a few dozen people. Are we still so respectful to him?"
"That's right, the death of King Nanlou is inseparable from him!"
Several adults from the Wuhuan clan, such as Su Buyan and Wu Yan, couldn't help but complain.
Among the Wuhuan tribe, in addition to the chanyu who leads the entire tribe, the tribal leaders of all sizes are called adults and xiaoshuai.
When Yuan Shao fought against Gongsun Zan, Tadun led his tribe's troops to help him.
After his victory, Yuan Shao was also extremely generous and issued an imperial edict to confer Su Puyan, Wuyan, Nanlou and others as kings.
"Of course I know."
Tadun Shanyu took a sip of mare's kumiss, wiped the wine stains from his mouth, and then smiled and said,
"But we still have to use him for now."
"Oh, why is that?"
Everyone looked surprised.
"There is an idiom among the Han people, which is that learning comes from being famous."
Tadun Shanyu said slowly and authentically,
"If we want to attack Youzhou, there must be a suitable reason, right?"
"In my opinion, it is most appropriate to take back the old place for Yuan Xi."
"Besides, don't forget that the Yuan family is very popular in Youzhou and Jizhou."
"With Yuan Xi's help, we can recruit a large number of talents and people!"
After listening to his words, all the Wuhuan people suddenly realized.
"Chanyu is really smart!"
"We are ashamed of ourselves!"
Tadun Chanyu enjoyed the adulation from everyone, smiled and waved his hand,
"Don't worry, I will take you south and invade the Central Plains soon!"
"At that time, the women, land, and money of the Han dogs will all be ours!"
Thinking of those Han women who were as beautiful as flowers and jade, with skin like silk and satin, the Wuhuan nobles in the camp suddenly became excited, and their breathing even became rapid!
Just when a group of Wuhuan nobles were trying to conquer the Han people, a slave suddenly walked in.
"Honorable Lord Shanyu, Yan Rou, the captain of Huwuwan, wants to see you!"
Yan Rou wants to see him?
Tadun Shanyu narrowed his eyes.
"Chanyu, Yan Rou is here now, I'm afraid he is acting as a messenger for Yang Ling."
Su Puyan on the side showed a fierce look in his eyes and made a gesture,
"It's better to just kill him..."
"No need!"
Tadun Shanyu Mansi spoke logically and authentically,
"The Han people have a good saying: when two armies are fighting, don't kill the envoy!"
"It's better to let him in and listen to what he has to say."
When he said this, everyone naturally had no objection.
After a while, Yan Rou strode in, led by several slaves.
"I've met Master Shanyu!"
Yan Rou put her right hand on her chest and saluted Tadun Shanyu.
"In total, we haven't seen each other for a while."
Tadun Shanyu said in a calm and authentic tone,
"I wonder if you have any good news since you arrived today?"
Facing the hostility of the Wuhuan nobles in the tent, Yan Rou showed no fear and said calmly,
"Reporting to Lord Shanyu, I came here under the orders of General Wu Guan of the Han Dynasty."
"Yuan Xi attempted to raise an army to rebel, but was defeated by General Wu Gen Zhong Lang. Now he has fled to the Wuhuan tribe."
"I hope Lord Shanyu can hand him over to avoid any unpleasantness."
However, after listening to Yan Rou's words, Tadun Chanyu burst out laughing!
He laughed for a while, then stopped and stared at Yan Rou with cold eyes.
"Yan Rou, don't forget that back then you were just a slave to our Wuhuan and Xianbei people!"
