Chapter 397 Cutting Tadun, Killing Gongsun 2
The road along the seaside is not easy to walk. In fact, the main reason is that it is difficult for a large army to pass through. A team of envoys with less than a hundred people will not cause any trouble no matter what.

Although they didn't walk very fast, they walked smoothly until they met the Wuhuan cavalry.

At this time, Yan Rou played a role. After he revealed his identity, he immediately made those greedy Wuhuan cavalrymen start to think rationally and communicate normally.

Yan Rou told them:

Gongsun Zan was dead, and he himself had taken refuge in Li Yao, General Wei of the imperial court. Now he was ordered by General Wei to go to discuss matters with Tadun.

Knowing that Gongsun Zan was dead, it was Li Yao who eliminated Gongsun Zan, and this was also the emissary team sent by Li Yao, those Wuhuan cavalry did not dare to act presumptuously anymore.

This group of people started on the road again, and after spending a lot of time, they finally arrived at Liucheng and met Tadun.

In fact, Ta Dun looked down on Yan Rou because he was a Han, but he had to admit that Yan Rou had some influence among the Hu and Han in Youzhou.

This time Yan Rou came here on behalf of Li Yao, and Ta Dun must also pay attention to it. Li Yao destroyed Gongsun Zan, and Gongsun Zan was able to rule Youzhou under the circumstances of cronyism and military aggression, thanks to his strong soldiers and personal prestige. And all this comes from his fierce pursuit of the Hu people.

Now that Gongsun Zan was wiped out by Li Yao, Ta Dun didn't have the thought of being grateful to Li Yao, on the contrary, he was very vigilant towards Li Yao.

After seeing Yan Rou, Tadun was extremely wary, but on the surface he was relatively friendly and said:
"Brother Yan Rou, you and I are already acquainted, so I won't talk nonsense. You came here on behalf of the imperial court to discuss something. How does Li Yao, who eliminated Gongsun Zan, think of Wuhuan?"

Yan Rou was still thinking in her heart that after killing Tadun, she, as the captain of Wuhuan, was responsible for managing Wuhuan's affairs, and said with a smile from the bottom of her heart:

"Good thing, great thing, after General Wei eliminated Gongsun Zan, he didn't plan to continue the expedition, so let me come to Liucheng to discuss with you as an envoy, as long as you can lead Wuhuan and offer your loyalty to the court..."

"General Wei will go up to the emperor, regardless of your past crimes, open a horse market on the border, and reward Wuhuan every year. Isn't such a favorable condition a great thing!"

When Ta Dun heard this, his heart moved. Li Yao had already eliminated Gongsun Zan, occupied Gongsun Zan's territory, and continued his expedition to Wuhuan. The gain outweighed the loss.

Moreover, it is very tempting to open a horse market on the border and reward them every year, but Taton did not relax his vigilance.

Because he is an ambitious man, he wants Wuhuan to become like Xianbei. If he can tear Liaoxi off the territory of the Han Dynasty and no longer be controlled by others, he will be the real Wuhuan Shanyu .

But now, in the face of Li Yao, who just destroyed Gongsun Zan, he is not sure of victory. If he can get a temporary respite, or even grow stronger through the transaction with the Han Dynasty, he will not be unacceptable, and he will take refuge in Li Yao and submit to the court. .

So Taton's eyes flickered, and he asked:
"General Wei wiped out Gongsun Zan. Without this butcher killing us all, we are of course willing to take refuge in the imperial court, but how can we be loyal?"

Yan Rou said seriously:

"According to the general's wishes, you and the leaders of the various ministries will go there to meet and offer a hundred horses and a thousand heads of livestock. Of course, you won't go in vain. There will be rewards..."

"To be honest, it's enough. The general has a strong army, a thousand good generals, and a million armors. He is stronger than Gongsun Zan, but he is willing to open a horse market like Liu Gong and reward him every year!"

Although Ta Dun didn't want to admit it, he also knew that Li Yao, who had eliminated Gongsun Zan, was capable of attacking Wuhuan if he wanted to.

But... he didn't believe that Li Yao could still stay in Youzhou. These Han people always like to compete for the Central Plains. In the end, Tadun did not agree or refuse, but said:

"Our Wuhuan has always lived under the protection of the Han Dynasty. When I discuss it with the leaders of the various ministries, I will definitely give Brother Yan Rou an answer!"

Yan Rou seemed a little dissatisfied, but he still said patiently:

"Wuhuan's life is not easy. With such a favorable condition, he is still hesitant. Let's just leave it at that. If you can come to a conclusion earlier, I can go back and make a business..."

"During this time, I'm riding horses, hunting, meeting friends, and come to me when I have results!"

Ta Dun didn't care about Yan Rou's dissatisfaction. Yan Rou wanted to go hunting on horseback and meet her friends, but he didn't stop her.

Six days later, during this period of time, Yan Rou went out to hunt every day, and returned with a full load every day. The more prey was distributed to the low-level people, and everyone in Wuhuan praised him.

That night, when everyone was unprepared, Yan Rou suddenly took down a city gate and let the cavalry from outside the city come in.

These cavalry, with one man and one horse with bound hooves, ran like the wind, and killed and looted like fire. Under the leadership of Yan Rou, they quickly reached a compound, and all the leaders including Tadun, Wu Yan, Su Pu Yan, the building is difficult... everything is served in one pot.

Ta Dun was very dazed, and he still didn't understand it. After seeing Yan Rou, he finally thought about everything clearly, with a ferocious expression on his face, he roared loudly:
"Yan Rou!! I treat you like a brother, what do you take me for? Damn it, I'll kill you!"

Yan Rou said very calmly:

"If you don't die, 10,000+ people in the three counties of Wuhuan will bleed like rivers. Generals, please do it, kill them all, and leave no future trouble!"

Li Yan grinned and waved his hand casually:

"Kill them all!"

The sound of wailing, begging for mercy... resounded instantly, but soon all the sounds disappeared, only the heads and corpses in the room.

The next day!

Yan Rou came forward and incorporated all the remaining Wuhuan tribes, and sent people to the counties to gather the Wuhuan tribes who surrendered and kill the Wuhuan tribes who did not surrender.

At the same time, a letter written by each of Li Yao and Xu Rong was also sent to Xiangping, Liaodong.

Liaodong, Xiangping!
Gongsun Du read Li Yao's letter first, then Xu Rong's letter, and fell silent after reading it.

Li Yao asked him to enter Beijing as a Wei Wei, Xu Rong persuaded him to accept this position.

Logically speaking, this is definitely a high promotion, but Gongsun Du is very unwilling. Since becoming the governor of Liaodong, there has not been a single day wasted in the past seven or eight years.

Kill lawless tyrants, recruit troops, encourage farming, attack Wuhuan in the west, conquer Fuyu in the east, go south to Goguryeo, and take large tracts of land in the Liaodong Peninsula under his command. Is it just to make wedding dresses for others? !
Not reconciled, he dispatched generals Liu Yi, Bei Yan, and Yang Zuo, leading tens of thousands of cavalry, to garrison along the Liao River, not seeking to defeat the enemy, but only to defend Liaodong.

As soon as the news came out, Xu Rong sighed and began to dispatch troops, Zhang Liao and Yan Rou, to drive [-] Wuhuan cavalry to attack frontally.

As for Xu Rong, he appeared in the most unlikely place and directly led his troops to surround Xiangping.

Gongsun Du was shocked and asked Liu Yi to return to his teacher to rescue him.

On the way, he was ambushed by Li Yan, General Liu Yi was killed on the spot, and tens of thousands of cavalry were all defeated.

Xu Rong is not a general who is very good at attacking. He is best at defending and counterattacking. If he wants to find an opportunity to defend and counterattack on a battlefield that can only be attacked, then let the enemy move.

The main general died in battle, the main army collapsed, and the people in Xiangping panicked. Xu Rong took the city in one fell swoop.

Facing Gongsundu who vowed to die, Xu Rong could only order to shoot arrows...
