The Three Kingdoms of Navigation

Chapter 26 Mysterious Assassin

Yinfang is neither humble nor arrogant, saying: "Although the State of Yue is a remote place, under the governance of the king and the sages, it has now become the first good area of the Han Dynasty. All over the country are as handsome as a hundred rivers returning to the sea, gathered in Zhuya and Funan Second College. Although Wei has Xuanwu College, Shu has Chengdu College, Wu has Yuzhang College, but there are many talents, You can't say the same words. I heard that the king has a metaphor, saying that a country is like a person, strong and spiritually civilized, the people are healthy people, and the country is a healthy country. There is also a metaphor for the balanced development of the limbs, and the balanced development of the four kings. The balanced development of the four kings is a healthy man. I don't know whether it's right or not. I dare to ask the king to correct it.

After Yinbo finished speaking, he saluted respectfully and made a look of listening attentively. When Sun Shao saw it, he couldn't help laughing and nodded repeatedly, "There are talents in Qingzhou, and there are talents in Qingzhou." But there is a little regret in my heart. Why didn't such a talent be mentioned by Qingzhou Pastor Sun Guan? It seems that Sun Guan is a martial artist after all, and the exploration of talents is still not done well.

Since Yinjian has assassinated Sun Shao to recruit talents from all sides, it is not appropriate to dig the corners of the other three countries, and it is not easy for Sun Shao to discuss with him about Xia Hourong. Of course, although Cao Rui's overall situation is a little worse, he is definitely not a fool. He made Xia Houyuan a general. Unfortunately, Xiahou Yuan's life is thin and he can't stand it. Cao Rui is for the western frontier. Stable, he had to let Cao Zhi be stationed in the gate with the respect of the general to eliminate the fear of other kings, but he would certainly not let the handsome Xiahou family live idle. As the most outstanding talent of Xiahou Yuan's son, Xia Hourong was promoted to the general of Zhenbei in a few years. There is no doubt that Cao Xian left it to Cao Rui. In theory, Cao Rui will not let go of the important weights of Heng Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi.

It's just a pity, Sun Shao sighed secretly.

... Kirby can sit opposite the Budu root and the mud, holding a semi-cold mutton leg in one hand and a thick wooden bowl in the other. In the bowl is steaming coarse tea, but because there are fewer and fewer tea leaves, this tea also has to be spared. The tea that has been boiled several times can no longer see any brown color, and only a little taste makes people Nostalgia.

These three people were originally sworn opponents, but now they have to rely on each other for their lives. After being defeated by Cao Zhang six years ago, Xia Hourong commanded the army to sweep the grassland for several years in succession, so that they had no place to stand at all. They could not only go south to rob, but also to prevent the attack of the Han people. Their words were bitter. What's worse is that Xia Hourong is still behind. Xia Hourong issued an order to the Huns. Now the food is tight. You are the vassal state of my Han Dynasty. We have the responsibility to help you through the difficulties, but you can't forget your obligations. Now the Xianbei people have run away. You can chase them. A Xianbei people's head for ten days of food, otherwise In other words, except for children under the age of ten, old people and women over 60 will starve to death, and the big man will not save a piece of food.

This order forced the Huns into hunters. They were originally nomads and weapons equipped by the Han people. Of course, they had the upper hand to deal with the Xianbei people who had fallen. What's more, their hatred with the Xianbei people was not a day or two. Naturally, they would not leave a back hand when they seized this opportunity.

Soon, the Wuhuan people, like the Huns, joined the pursuit team.

Xianbei people have become rats shouted by everyone on the grassland, and there is no hiding place. In several winters, they have starved many people to death. The Xianbei people do not have the same respect for the elderly as the Han people. Once there is not enough food, they must first ensure the survival of the soldiers. The elderly, children and women can only starve to death, and when necessary, they should become rations. In the face of life and death, many Xianbei people were unwilling to run for their lives with the kings. They chose to surrender to the Han people and would rather be slaves than change their meals.

In the past six years, there are only more than 10,000 people left, and Kirby can's strength has been well preserved because of the fast escape. In recent years, he has collected some small tribes. Instead, his people have increased, with a total of 30,000 people. Budugen and Lugui mud can't live, so he has to turn down to Kirby. Head, regard him as the king of Xianbei and listen to his orders.

Today, the three people gathered together to discuss a major decision: whether to continue to stay in the west and be entangled with the Han people, or to go west, leave the Han people's military front, and find another place to survive. Kirby can advocate going westward. His reason is that the strength of the Han people is not as strong as before. Although they look fierce now, they can only rely on the Xiongnu and Wuhuan to hunt down the Xianbei people on the grassland, but they can't go deep into the grassland. This is because their cavalry are insufficient and they can't go on an expedition. If they go far to the west, they can only look at it and sigh, and without the support of the Han people, the Huns and the Wuhuan people will not chase after them. Bu Dugen and Gui Mu were very hesitant. They felt that it might not be good to go west. The future is uncertain. Who knows what kind of enemy there is in the west? The Xianbei people are now at the end of the road. They are not opponents of the Han people on their own grasslands, let alone other people's territory.

The three of them disagreed and couldn't argue. Kirby could sip the tasteless tea and glance at the uneasy Bu Dugen and the mud. He was very contemptuated. He knew what the two people were fighting. They had been scared by the Han people and wanted to stay. They didn't want to continue to fight with the Han people, but to find an opportunity to surrender to the Han people. As a Han people's dog, they were with the present. The Xiongnu people here, like the Wuhuan people, waved their swords at their own people for a few stones of grain.

"Forward to the west, although there is an unknown danger, there is also hope." Kirby could say patiently, "You should know Dayue, right?"

"I know something. It is said that I was beaten away by the Huns before." Bu Dugen said buzzingly.

"Do you know that they have established a big empire west of the green onion, called Guishuang?" Kirby could put down the wooden bowl and compare it with a very powerful gesture: "I heard that the establishment of the Guishuang Empire is as long as that of the Han people. It is still there. They fight south all the way to Tianzhu. Do you know Tianzhu? It's the place where the king of Yue can't eat, which used to be a slave of the noble frost people. Isn't the situation of Guishuang people worse than us at the beginning? Their kings were cut off as drowning weapons by the Huns. Only one woman fled to the West with thousands of remnants of soldiers. Unexpectedly, we can build such a powerful country. Why can't we Xianbei?

Bu Dugen and Legui Ni looked at each other. They had heard of Guishuang, but they didn't know so much about Bu Dugen. After a long time, Guishuang was actually a Yue family? After thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "Then you can't go. When the Yue people came to the West, there was no powerful tribe in the West, but now there is clearly a powerful Guishuang. Can we be their opponent if we go with tens of thousands of people?

Kirby can be dumb. He didn't expect that the rich and strong who just rendered the precious frost would bring such an effect. He turned his mind and shook his head and smiled: "You don't know that Guishuang people have been in the country for too long. They are as fat as pigs now. They even run a few steps and gasp. How can they fight? In the west of them, a Sassanic country has emerged, and the Sassanids often disturb the border of Guishuang. In order to deal with the Sassans, Guishuang transferred most of his troops to the western front. The eastern front is very empty. We can take the opportunity to attack behind him. He can't fight on both sides, so he can only turn around and make peace with us. We are very light. Song can get a large ranch, which is much better than eating and drinking snow here now.

Bu Dugen held the bowl and hesitated. Kirby could say it temptingly, but only Kirby could know what it was like. Maybe he was lying. Thinking about it, it's better to turn back and surrender to the Han people. At least you can have a pasture like the Xiongnu and live a stable life. As for being a dog or not being a dog, you can't care about it. Just rebel again when you have the strength.

"Do you want to surrender?" Kirby can continue, "I advise you not to count on it. Why do the Han people raise the Xiongnu and the Wuhuan people? It is because they want the Huns and Wuhuans to help them kill us. If we surrender, who will be killed? Either let us continue to kill each other, or kill us all. Anyway, we won't really let us live a good life. Don't forget that the Han people now are not the former Han people. They used to look down on us for not knowing etiquette and barbarians, but now they regard us as inferior people. In their eyes, only they are human beings. In fact, they are all beasts. The closer they are to the Han people, the closer they are to people. Think about it, who is the most powerful among the Xiongnu and Wuhuan people following us now? Captain Hu Qi turned Adi and A Mei turned. Why, because their mother is a Han Chinese! Do you have Han Chinese blood?

Bu Dugen and Lu Gui were red-faced, but after thinking about it, they also felt reasonable. It seemed that the people who chased them most now had a close relationship with the Han people. This Adi abduction and Amei abduction brothers were the two most prominent. It is said that their mother was a Han talented woman, and she was robbed back. Later, she was redeemed by Cao Qian with money. Go back, and now the two brothers are officials in the State of Wei with my mother.

"The marshal's words are not good." A strange voice suddenly sounded outside the tent. Kirby was stunned. Then he threw away the leg of mutton and the wooden bowl in his hand and stood up. Before his body stood up, the sword on his waist had come out of its sheath and pointed straight to the tent door. Bu Dugen and Lu Gui Mu were a little slower, but as soon as the voice fell, they were already on guard. They looked out of the tent with bright eyes and put their hands on the sword around their waist. The suffering in the past few years is not good at all. At least their vigilance is very high, and their physical condition is also maintained. But because of this, they felt even more surprised. During the war, the Xiongnu and Wuhuan people could rush out at any time. The protection work was not bad. It was ridiculous that there were strangers outside the account.

There is a man standing at the door of the tent. He can't see his age, both thirty years old and twenty years old, but he is tall. Even among the ordinary and taller Xianbei people, he is not inferior, but he is not as thick as Xianbei people. He was wearing a fresh sheepskin robe, but it was a little short and didn't fit well. It should have been snatched from others. This situation is not uncommon among Xianbei people. Over the years, they have been suffering, and any property will not be wasted. It is normal to wear dead people's clothes.

But in this person, it seems a little strange, because he doesn't look like a fresh man, but a Han man.

"Are you a man?" Kirby's eyes tightened and looked up and down at the young man. The sword in his hand was held more tightly. He turned over his wrist, the blade was up, and the tip of the knife was withdrawn. It seemed to have relaxed his guard, but in fact, there was a hidden opportunity to fight back at any time. As long as the Han man acted rashly, as long as he turned his wrist, the sword would flirt back. And come out.

"The handsome man has good eyesight. I'm a Han man." The man smiled and raised his hand to take off the dogskin hat on his head, revealing a long black hair, not a humble man's head. He opened his arms and smiled easily: "Sy generals are people who lick blood on the head of knives. They won't worry about me as an unarmed Han man, will they?"

Kirby can twitch without a smile, and slowly withdraw the knife to the scabbard, but his right hand has been held back on the handle of the knife, maintaining the posture of pulling out at any time, and his left hand stretched out: "It's all guests. Since you can come here, of course, you have some skills. If you have anything to say, you might as well sit down and talk."

"I've heard for a long time that Kirby can be a commander with a lot of tolerance. Today, I see it, and it's really worth it." The man walked a few steps to the fire pond in the middle of the tent and put his hands on the fire that was about to go out. His fingers are white and slender, and his joints are well-proportioned, but at least they don't look like a warrior's hand. As soon as he saw these hands, not only Bu Dugen and Le Gui Mu took back the knife at ease, but even Kirby was relieved and left the handle of the knife with his right hand. They are all people who have been fighting for many years. Of course, they can't see whether a pair of hands often hold knives.

The pair in front of us is obviously not.

"It's hard to live in this ice and snow." The man smiled, looked up at the arrangement in the tent, and finally put his eyes on the sneering Kobineng's face: "The general just said that he would go west and follow the example of the Yue people to build the Guishuang Empire. The general must have heard of it. When the Yue family arrived to the west of the Congling, he first established Daxia, and Daxia was set up as five parts, consisting of five parts. Yihou was led separately, and Guishuang was only one of them. Later, Guishuang killed the other four Yihous and called himself King Guishuang. The commander-in-chief said that he wanted to imitate the Yue people. I don't know if he wanted to imitate them to build five parts, or to imitate Guishuanghou to kill the four tribes and make himself king?

As soon as he said half of his words, the faces of Bu Dugen and Le Gui Ni changed. Kirby can really bully them. Does Guishuang still have such a story?

"Handman, don't provoke indiscriminately." Kirby smiled disapprovingly: "We Xianbei people were driven away by you Han people. How can we kill each other at this time? Of course, we are united to fight against all the enemies.

"You are wrong." The man shook his head again, picked up the wooden bowl that Kirby could have just thrown, poured out the tea inside, poured some from the copper pot, and took a sip: "You said that the Han people chased you, so I would like to ask, is this tea brought by the Han people? The battle knife in your hand is also Han people, right? The belt around your waist is also Han people. It seems that it should be a relatively expensive belt. The hook on it is not affordable for ordinary people. So what do you give to the Han people? Go to rob every winter? I also want to ask, after so many years, do you Xianbei people enter the Han people's place more often, or do the Han people enter your place more often?

"Humph! Don't talk too much here. You Han people occupy the fertile land. We Xianbei people are eagles favored by heaven, but we can only endure hunger. Of course, we have to take something from your Han land for the winter. Besides, are so many of you Han people who fled to our grassland? That's what you Han officials forced to come. You said that we Xianbei kill you Han people, but we Xianbei people kill Han people are far less than you Han people themselves. In the past, there was a general Huangfu who killed hundreds of thousands of yuan when he killed the yellow scarf. Later, there was a king of Wei, Cao Wei, who also killed the water back. Compared with them, we Xianbei killed a few people.

The man smiled and pondered for a moment: "I admit that you said this is the truth, but why don't you talk about the current situation? We Han people no longer kill each other, but help each other. In order to help the State of Wei in the north tide over the difficulties, we have to transport a large amount of grain from the State of Yue and the State of Wu every year. Which of the weapons and food used by the State of Wei to fight with you in recent years is not supported by other countries? We Han people don't kill our own people now, but only the enemy. He looked at Bu Dugen and Le Gui Ni and said calmly, "Therefore, as long as you are not the enemies of the Han people, you will not be chased again. Not only that, you can also get the help of the Han people. You don't have to drink such light tea, and you don't have to live such a bitter life. Look at the Wuhuan people and the Xiongnu people, as well as Gao Ju Li people and Fu Yu people. They are friends with us Han people. Aren't they doing well now?

Bu Dugen unconsciously wiped his mouth and was a little moved.

"Friends?" Kirby was a little angry and couldn't help but aggravate his tone: "I don't know what you said about Fuyu people and Gaoju Li people, but I know that the Huns and the Huns are powerful. Which one has nothing to do with you Han people? When will you treat the real Huns as friends?

"That's wrong." The man lowered his face and said unhappily, "Are you as good to your own brother as to other people's brothers? Isn't it natural to be kind to your relatives? Isn't it reasonable to treat your friends better than your enemies? Is the general the same for everyone? Then why don't these two marshals eat and drink as well as you? Aren't they fresh and humble people?

Kerby can be speechless. Although his son is also bitter, it is of course much better than starting the root and returning to the mud. It is possible for him to kill the foot root. How can he subsidize them to live the same life as himself? But this can't be said in front of Budugen and others. Doesn't it show that what he just said is a lie, just like the Han people?

"It's a good one. It seems that you're here as a lobbyor." Kirby sneered and signaled the nervous guard around the tent with his eyes. Soon after the Han man entered the account, the captain of the guard stood outside the tent. Although it was cold outside, the captain's forehead was full of sweat. He wanted to rush in several times to take down the Han man who came out of nowhere, but he was stopped by Kirby. Now Kirby can feel that he may not be the right person in his words. Hand, ready to use force.

The captain of the guard understood, shouted loudly, rushed to the back of the Han man, and raised his hand with a knife. The moment the curtain door was lifted, a cold wind surged in, and the atmosphere in the tent suddenly tightened, and the murderous atmosphere burst out at the same time as the cold wind poured in. The captain of the guard is a person who broke from the bloody sea of corpses. His knife skills are not fancy at all. He is accurate and powerful. With one knife, there is no room for him. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, the blade lit up the back of the man's neck, and the strong wind made the hair on his sheepskin jacket fall to one side.

Life and death are on the front line. As soon as the captain of the guard took action, he locked all the retreats of the Han people.

However, what no one could expect, the Han man suddenly leaned back, and the blade passed in front of his nose, reflecting his clear eyes. Then he flew backwards like a big eagle, with his head down and legs up, flying lightly over the head of the guard captain's head, and hugging the guard with his hands. With a gentle stroke of his neck, he only heard a click. The captain of the guard, who was so fierce as a tiger, suddenly froze there. Even the posture of waving the knife suddenly stopped. His neck twisted at a very large angle, and his round eyes were full of fear and incredible.

It seems that time suddenly stopped flowing, and everyone was frozen there. Those guards who came with the guard did not expect that the guard captain's inevitable knife would fail, and the skilled guard captain was killed in one move, or they did not realize that the guard captain was like this at all. What exactly does posture mean?

"The commander-in-chief just said that they were all guests. In a blink of an eye, he let people do something behind his back. He was really a ruthless hero. No wonder others have lived so miserable in the past few years, but your strength is getting bigger and bigger." The man clapped his hands, turned around from behind the motionless captain of the guard, and said with a smile, "The king is really a master of doing one thing."

The return mud involuntarily took a step backwards. Bu Dugen hesitated for a moment and also took a step back. He stood with the return mud. The eyes looking at Kebineng became obviously vigilant. They have reason to believe that the tough guards standing outside the account now are likely to deal with them. The reason is obvious. Kirby didn't estimate the appearance of this Han man at all.

"What a hidden master." Kirby could sneer, pull the knife out of the sheath, and shouted, "Come on, take him down!" While shouting loudly, he turned around and split the tent behind him with a knife, and rushed out as soon as he shrank. The guards were distracted by his drunken drink and shouted and rushed into the tent one after another, slashing their knives.

The man's figure flashed, and his hand grabbed the sword from the guard captain who was still frozen there. He rushed behind Kirby's body like a whirlwind. Kirby had already expected this possibility. His footsteps were still rushing out, but his upper body twisted in mid-air, and the sword stabbed the man's abdomen from a very hidden angle. The man sneered. His body remained unchanged, but his waist and abdomen twisted strangely. At the same time, he just let Kebineng's sword. At the same time, he stretched out his left hand and held Kebineng's right wrist tightly. The knife ring in his right hand was fiercely built on the back of Kirbineng's neck. Then he swept back, opened the three knives, took the opportunity to flirt, and rushed to The guard in the front cut in half from the chin to the top of the head.

Kerby was black in front of his eyes and fell softly. The sword in his hand fell down. The man stood on one foot, and his right leg kicked on the head of the knife with an extremely beautiful flying kick. The sword seemed to be held by an invisible hand. Suddenly, he changed his direction and stabbed into another with lightning. A guard's chest, and the force on the knife was very strong. Not only did the whole knife pierce his body, but the rest of the strength also took him to fall back. Several guards who followed him couldn't stop their footsteps and stepped on it one after another. The account was suddenly in a mess. The captain of the guard who was originally frozen there was touched by someone. [* **]'S thick body fell to the ground and was jumping on the extinguished fire, which immediately aroused a burst of ashes, which made everyone subconsciously cover the door.

A burst of screams came one after another, and they were full of tears. They didn't care too much. While dancing with a sword to protect themselves, they pushed down the tent and took the way out.

Waing for the ashes to disperse, Bu Dugen was surprised to find that the man did not leave. He held a knife in one hand and Kirby Neng, who did not know whether to live or die in the other. He stood among more than a dozen screaming and wailing guards. Each guard rolled on the ground with his wrists or ankles, but he could not see any blood.

The man gently threw down the knife, brushed the ashes on his body, looked at the frightened step root, grinned, and showed his snow-white teeth: "Marel, go and surrender to Captain Hu Qi. Otherwise, I will come to you." After saying that, he carried Kirby Neng to Bu Dugen's war horses, threw Kirby Neng on Bu Dugen's war horse, flew on the muddy horse, and shouted, "Use the horse, please go to Captain Hu Qi's army to pick it up by yourself." After saying that, he kicked the horse's abdomen, and the horse hissed with his head high, carrying them away.

Kerby's subordinates, who rushed to the news, shouted loudly and got on the horse one after another to catch up. Bu Dugen suddenly became happy. He grabbed the horse as the leader and shouted, "Do you want to kill your commander?"

The generals were shocked, and then they knew that Kirby could be captured alive. They looked at each other in consternation and were cold. What kind of assassin could capture the general alive under the siege of 30,000 troops and then leave the barracks unharmed? Such a person can only be possessed by the god, and he is just an ordinary person. How can he fight with the person possessed by the god?

"Marshal, what should I do now?" Several tribal leaders of the six gods surrounded one after another and asked Bu Dugen for a plan.

"Would you like to listen to me?" Bu Dugen suddenly became a little excited. Xianbei people believe that the strong are the king. Kirby's life and death are uncertain. His powerful tribe has actually disintegrated. Now as long as he nod, he can collect at least half of the people, and he can logically replace Kirby to become the most powerful Xianbei tribe.

At this moment, the mud pulled his sleeve: "Uncle, do you want to follow in Kirby's footsteps?"

Bu Dugen's blood suddenly cooled down. He thought of a sentence when the man was about to leave. Since he could capture Kebineng alive in the army, of course, he could easily kill him Bu Dugen. This is not an opportunity, but a scourge. Of course, if you can take these 30,000 people to surrender to Captain Adi, it will be another matter.

(to be continued)
