Three Kingdoms: I will return it ten thousand times, my lord, I will never keep it for myself

A few days passed quickly, and the situation changed dramatically.

Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong and other brave generals, carrying numerous Xianbei captives, marched back to the solid walls of Yanmen Pass. This return was not only full of the glory of victory, but also engraved with the blood and sweat of countless Bingzhou men.

The cavalry and infantry under Liu Yao's command, with their fearless attitude, created the glory of this battle, but behind it, there was also a heavy price and sacrifice.

Fifty thousand heroic souls of the Bingzhou army slept on the battlefield, and their bravery and loyalty turned into an immortal monument on this land. Another 20,000 soldiers were seriously injured, and countless were slightly injured. Each of their scars was the most determined oath to victory.

This battle was undoubtedly the most tragic battle for Bingzhou, but also the most glorious page.

It witnessed the unyielding will and tenacious fighting power of the Bingzhou army, and made the Xianbei people taste an unprecedented setback.

The Xianbei side alone had as many as 150,000 casualties, 60,000 seriously injured, and more than 20,000 missing, and the number of captives who fell into the hands of Bingzhou reached an astonishing 50,000.

In order to reward the soldiers, the main general's mansion today was brightly lit and full of guests and friends to celebrate the joy.

Liu Yao also sent an envoy to invite the Chanyu of the Southern Xiongnu, Yu Fuluo, and his son Liu Bao, to attend the banquet, in order to deepen the friendship between the two tribes.

Another deep meaning of this banquet was to re-demarcate a peaceful habitat for the Southern Xiongnu on this vast land.

In the main general's mansion, there were clinking glasses, melodious music, and a scene of joy. However, under this prosperous and harmonious appearance, undercurrents were surging.

Guo Jia and Tian Feng were making careful arrangements in the dark with a calm attitude, deploying elite soldiers quietly around the mansion, weaving an invisible net.

For the two of them, this banquet was actually a carefully planned Hongmen Banquet, aimed at bringing the last leadership of the Southern Xiongnu into the control of Bingzhou at the lowest cost.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes.

Yu Fuluo stood up first and said with a smile:

"Hahaha, my dear brother Ziyi, this time my Southern Xiongnu men also shed blood on the battlefield, tens of thousands of warriors fought for their lives, and finally helped you to defeat the Xianbei bandits, which is really a pleasure!"

Liu Yao raised the wine glass with his right hand, and the wine in the glass swayed slightly, reflecting a cunning and deep light in his eyes, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Haha, Yufuluo Chanyu, you and I both know that this victory was hard-won. I, Liu Yao, will always remember the sacrifices and contributions of the Southern Xiongnu. However, the ownership of this vast northern grassland should be put on the agenda and discussed together."

"What a good phrase, 'discuss together'! General Zhengbei is really quick-witted and unrestrained!" Upon hearing this, Yufuluo Chanyu's eyes flashed with approval, and then he said seriously.

"Since the words have come to this, I will speak frankly. Although we, the Southern Xiongnu, live far away in the grassland, we have no ambition to compete for the Central Plains. This time, our tribe suffered heavy losses. I hope that the general can remember the old friendship and let us Xiongnu people reproduce and seek long-term development together?"

Liu Yao naturally saw that Yufuluo had something else to say.

"Your Excellency, Chanyu, please feel free to speak."

Yu Fuluo said with a serious face:

"Since the battle of Xianbei has been settled, the crown of the king on the grassland has changed hands. Why don't the Southern Xiongnu take this opportunity to break free from the shackles of the old territory and embrace the vast land that once belonged to Xianbei? In this way, the Southern Xiongnu will also have the widest pasture, and our children will no longer have to worry about starving, and will not go south to plunder."

"As for the former territories of the Southern Xiongnu and Wuhuan, we might as well melt them into a furnace and turn them into a new Bingzhou County, like a dazzling pearl inlaid At the border of Bingzhou. From now on, the Southern Xiongnu will swear to build an indestructible defense line with flesh and blood, to defend the land and protect the country for the peace of the Central Plains. "

"Hey! Accept the vast territory of Xianbei? Such words are not laughable? The land of Xianbei is vast and boundless, more than ten times wider than your territory of Southern Xiongnu! How can you control such a vast land? Is it a castle in the air, a dream of flowers in the mirror and moon in the water? "

When Ju Su heard this, a contemptuous arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of ridicule and disdain for this unrealistic idea.

"That's right! If it weren't for the strong support of our Han cavalry, you Southern Xiongnu would have been killed by the Xianbei! How dare you want such a large territory?" Zhang Liao said, slowly put down the wine cup in his hand, his eyes were like torches, and he looked at Yu Fuluo who was sitting opposite him. The atmosphere suddenly became subtle.

"Humph!" Liu Bao heard this and was furious. He suddenly slapped the table, shaking the cups and plates on the table slightly, making a crisp sound.

"ZhangWenyuan, don't forget it! That day you led your army to ambush the enemy in the west. If it weren't for the bloody battles of our Xiongnu warriors on the front line, and the flesh and blood to contain the main force of the Xianbei cavalry, how could you easily succeed and compete with Honglie and other brave generals? "

"Besides! Most of the Xianbei territory is grassland, and you Han people don't know how to graze, so what's the point of leaving such a large territory! ? "

"Liu Bao! You are talking nonsense! How can the Han people not graze? Your words are no different from a frog in a well, who only sees the sky in a square inch. If the Han people get the grassland, they will surely make it full of vitality and animal husbandry prosperous. How can you despise it? "

At this time, Xu Chu was also sitting aside and cursing.

"Okay! Okay! Stop arguing! Your Excellency Shanyu still needs us to discuss it carefully. "

Liu Yao wanted to step forward to dissuade everyone, but Liu Bao was now overwhelmed by anger.

"Hmph! Liu Yao! What are you pretending to be like, you young boy! Xianbei land! We Southern Xiongnu are determined! You also have to return my fiancée, Princess Huyan, to me!"

"If not! I, Southern Xiongnu, swear to fight you Han people to the death!"

"You are so presumptuous!!!"

Xu Huang was immediately furious, and he drew the sword at his waist and cut off the table in front of him.

"Liu Bao! My lord asked you to discuss it well! But you insulted my lord in public! How can a scholar tolerate this!"

"Fight to the death! ? Good! If you are not convinced! I will lead the army to fight again!"

"If you have the ability! Come and rob! How much you can rob! It depends on your ability! "

At this time, Yu Fuluo also stood up in anger.

"Hmph! We, the Xiongnu people! We formed an alliance with you because of your honesty! Who knew you were so boring! So be it! You and I will go back to the camp and prepare for the fight!"

At this time, Liu Yao slowly stood up and showed a sneer.

"Haha, Yu Fuluo, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave this door today."
