Three Caos fighting for a bride? Zhen Ji, I, Cao Zhi, will take her!

"It turned out to be Louban Chanyu!"

Seeing that the person coming was Lou Ban, Yuan Xi was overjoyed.

The present-day Wuhuan tribe.

It is divided into four parts.

They are the Shanggu Wuhuan tribe, whose chief is Nanlou;

The Wuhuan tribe of Youbeiping, led by Wu Ting;

The Wuhuan tribe in western Liaoning, led by Lou Ban;

The Wuhuan tribe in Liaodong, whose leader was Su Puting.

Because the Wuhuan tribes in Youbeiping County, Liaoxi County, and Liaodong State had close contacts with the Han people, the two sides often did business and exchanged what they had.

Therefore, in the Han area, the Wuhuan tribes entrenched in the northern part of Youzhou were collectively referred to as the Three Commandery Wuhuan.

When Yuan Shao unified the four states of Hebei.

In order to win over the Wuhuan in the three counties.

The leaders of all the Wuhuan tribes were appointed as Chanyu.

Therefore, Lou Ban and others can be called Chanyu.

Of course, this is just what Yuan Shao called them.

In fact, within the three counties of Wuhuan, they had their own Chanyu.

Although this Chanyu came from the Wuhuan tribe in western Liaoning, he was not Lou Ban.

This person's name is Tadun.

He is the younger brother of Qiuliju, the previous leader of the Wuhuan tribe in western Liao, and the uncle of Louban, the current leader of the Wuhuan tribe in western Liao.

After Qiu Liju died, Lou Ban inherited the position of leader.

But because Lou Ban was young at that time.

Therefore, the entire Wuhuan tribe in western Liaoning was actually controlled by Tadun.

Tadun was a brave and skilled warrior, and was also familiar with Chinese studies.

Therefore, during the period when he was in charge of the Wuhuan tribe in western Liao, he unified the three counties of Wuhuan through a series of wars and diplomatic means and became the de facto Chanyu of the entire Wuhuan tribe.

The Wuhuan were different from the Han people.

Although Tadun became the actual Chanyu of Wuhuan.

But he did not kill all the Lou Ban.

To show your broad mind.

Lou Ban had considerable power in the Wuhuan tribe in western Liaoning.

Not only did Tatun allow him to retain his position as leader, he also allowed him to lead a considerable number of people in the tribe.

And Lou Ban was also very aware of the current situation.

Ever since Tadun became the nominal Chanyu of Wuhuan.

He always called himself Tadun's nephew.

He did whatever Taton asked him to do.

At this moment, they saw that Tadun had actually sent Lou Ban to greet the three of them.

Yuan Xi couldn't help but rekindle his fighting spirit.

He knew that his decision to send tens of thousands of people to the Wuhuan was not wrong.

Just as Yuan Xi and others were excited.

Lou Ban rode his horse up to Yuan Xi and the other two.

"Louban Chanyu, I didn't expect you to come pick us up. The Cao army is right behind us. Let's go out to meet Tatun Chanyu now!"

Yuan Xi said excitedly.

"Not urgent!"

Lou Ban said lightly.

Yuan Xi: “???”

Yuan Shang: "???"

Han Heng: “???”

Seeing that Cao's army was about to attack, Lou Ban adopted this attitude at this time.

Han Heng couldn't help but ask, "Louban Chanyu, please forgive me for being so nosy. What do you mean by 'no rush'?"

"Of course I'll wait for them here!" Lou Ban said proudly.

"I've also read your Han Chinese military books. The enemy has come from afar, so they must be exhausted. We can just rest and wait for them to tire themselves out!"

"this--"

Seeing Lou Ban say this.

Yuan Xi was certain that Lou Ban was not familiar with the Han people, especially Cao Zhi.

Cao Zhi in just half a year.

Not only did he recover Bingzhou from the high-ranking officials.

He even led a large army out of the border and annihilated the Southern Xiongnu in one fell swoop.

He became another Han Chinese who became famous outside the Great Wall after Huo Qubing and Dou Xian.

With such strength, how could they not be able to defeat a mere Louban?

Not to mention that in this era, it was normal for one Han to fight against five Barbarians.

When he thought of this, Yuan Xi wondered whether he should persuade Lou Ban.

After all, his life now depends on Lou Ban.

As for Lou Ban, after hearing what he said.

Disbelief was evident on the faces of Yuan Xi and the other two.

A trace of anger rose in Lou Ban's heart.

However, he remembered that before coming here, Tadun had warned himself to be respectful to Yuan Xi and others.

Therefore, Lou Ban immediately dismounted.

Amidst the doubts of Yuan Xi and others.

Lou Ban smiled and introduced the "double stirrups" to Yuan Xi and others.

"I have to say, there are still talented people among you Han people. You knew you couldn't beat us in horseback archery, so you designed stirrups. When you found that single stirrups were still not as good as ours, you designed double stirrups!"

"Our Wuhuan men's riding skills are already better than yours. Now with the help of double stirrups, we are even more powerful. Don't worry, I come well prepared this time!"

Lou Ban said with a smug look on his face.

Seeing Lou Ban say this.

Yuan Xi and the other two couldn't help but feel even more nervous.

Yuan Xi only recently learned about double stirrups.

But Yuan Xi knew better that the double stirrups first appeared in Cao Zhi's army.

You are using the equipment designed by Cao Zhi to fight Cao Zhi. Isn't that just showing off your skills in front of an expert?

Just when Yuan Xi couldn't help but want to continue persuading Lou Ban, he was stopped by Han Heng.

At Han Heng's signal.

Only then did Yuan Xi notice the gloom in the corners of Lou Ban's eyes.

Helplessly, Yuan Xi and others could only flatter Lou Ban against their will.

"Hahaha, I knew you would be frightened by the double stirrups. Just wait and see how my Wuhuan men will slaughter the enemy in battle!"

Louban laughed.

……

the other side.

With the help of the people.

Cao Zhi killed many people in Ji County.

After Cao Zhi's sorting out of the 20,000 Ji County defenders, only 5,000 soldiers who had not committed serious crimes were left.

Although there may be omissions.

But Cao Zhi knew.

After all this trouble.

These remaining soldiers never dared to raise their butcher knives against the people again.

And the people of Ji County.

After seeing that Cao Zhi actually killed 15,000 defenders for himself and others, he realized that Cao Zhi had killed 15,000 defenders for himself and others.

Their hearts were filled with gratitude towards Cao Zhi.

Where Cao Zhi and others lived.

Almost every day, people kneel at the door to express their gratitude.

Some people even secretly hung up Cao Zhi's portrait at home and worshiped him every morning and evening.

Soon, all the people in Ji County began to follow suit.

After Cao Zhi learned the news.

I was originally going to refuse.

In later generations, sacrificing living people is not a good omen.

But then I thought, in the original history, Guan Yu could enjoy this kind of treatment in Jingzhou, so there is no reason why I can't.

Therefore, Cao Zhi acquiesced to this matter.

Three days later.

After dealing with all the matters in Ji County.

Cao Zhi then led his army northward.

Seeing that Cao Zhi had finally conquered Youzhou but not a single soldier remained in Ji County, Zhao Yun could not help but say:

"Fourth Young Master, Ji County is the seat of Youzhou. Shouldn't we leave someone to guard it? Otherwise, given your actions in killing the surrendered soldiers in Ji County, what if those soldiers rebel again once we leave?"

As soon as Zhao Yun said this.

It instantly reminded Cao Zhang and others.

When they thought that Cao Zhi had not left anyone in Ji County, Cao Zhang and others were ready to persuade him.

But when they thought that if Cao Zhi left someone behind, the person who stayed behind would be one of them, Cao Zhang and others shut up silently.

There was no other reason, because everyone wanted to continue heading north to rescue the tens of thousands of people who were abducted by the Wuhuan.

Therefore, Zhao Yun had just finished speaking.

Cao Zhang and others stared at Cao Zhi.

It seemed to mean, "We won't recommend ourselves, but if you choose me, I won't refuse!"

"Ha ha……"

Seeing Cao Zhang and others showing an expression of being ready to die, Cao Zhi couldn't help laughing out loud.

At this moment, Jia Xu said quietly:

"General Zilong's concerns are not without reason, but that is based on common sense, considering the methods the Fourth Young Master has used in Ji County these past few days.

I can guarantee that the defenders will not have any other ideas. As for those who have ulterior motives, as long as they dare to show their ambitions, they will be the first to die! "

When Jia Xu said this, Cao Zhang and the others were stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized...

Five days later.

After a long run.

Cao Zhi and others finally arrived at the junction of Youzhou and the grassland.

It is also a natural boundary between mountains and grasslands.

Above the mountains is the winding Great Wall, but it has been abandoned.

In the middle of the abandoned Great Wall, there happened to be a man-made gap for the army to enter and exit.

When Cao's army arrived here.

I happened to see hundreds of cavalrymen slowly moving out of the border.

The word "Yuan" was clearly written on the flag they held.

The moment he saw the word "Yuan", Cao Zhang was overjoyed.

"Zijian, let this credit go to Third Brother!"

Cao Zhang laughed.

As he spoke, Cao Zhang prepared to lead his men to intercept Yuan Xi and others.

"Not urgent!"

At this moment, Cao Zhi spoke up to stop Cao Zhang.
