Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1028

Whoosh whoosh!
Arrows streaked across the sky, piercing the air and stabbing quickly!
Ding Ding Ding!
The cold and hard arrows pierced into the tree trunks and soil. They did not hit any flesh and blood, but they made the fleeing people even more nervous.

"Hurry up!"

The guard who was clearing the way in front split the branches blocking the road with his knife, pressed down the branches on both sides with his body, then turned sideways to make way, and then waved eagerly to let the people behind him follow quickly.

Suddenly, a group of figures passed by him, running hard in the dense forest.

There were about 40 people in this group, three or four of them were Han generals at first glance, and the rest were all personal guards.

Although they were fleeing and were closely followed by the pursuers, these people did not mess up their queues and organization because of their escape. They still maintained a certain airs and were barely able to advance and retreat in an orderly manner.

There are many pursuers behind, a group of people in darkness, and you can still hear the barking of dogs, but this is a dense forest, and having more people does not necessarily give you an advantage. You still have to walk through the forest and leaves, and follow as much as possible to encounter them. Blocking and hindering, many people push and influence each other.

The group of people escaping in front were obviously more familiar with the terrain and landforms. After a few turns, they directly used a slope to roll down, and then relied on a few rocks for cover to quickly throw away the pursuers and gain precious respite. time.

"You guys, hurry up and bandage up, don't leave any sequelae. We don't have much time. The other party has war dogs and they will be here soon. We have to set off again before they arrive."

As soon as they stopped, a rather majestic voice sounded from among the running crowd, clear and powerful.

This man was wearing a military uniform, his hair was half disheveled, but he also had the air of a famous soldier. He was Liu Kun, the former prefect of Jinyang and governor of Bingzhou who resisted the Huns around Yanmen.

However, the value of his position as governor is very low, because almost all the land in Bingzhou has been controlled by the Xiongnu. Only a few Wubao and isolated cities are still barely resisting. There are almost no people in the hands of Liu Kun, and the soldiers and horses are also not in the hands of Liu Kun. Very limited.

Relying on the support of these Wubao owners, Liu Kun was able to maintain the guerrilla war for more than four years. He took advantage of the contradiction between the Xiongnu Chanyu Liu Yi and the Xiongnu leader Liu Cong to reluctantly support him in the cracks, until now.

Unfortunately, with Liu Yi's failure, the situation changed, and Liu Kun finally found it difficult to support himself.

"I didn't expect that Liu Cong would have such courage. On the surface, he said he was going to attack Liu Yao, but in fact he wanted to annihilate us. In order to deal with less than [-] of us, he mobilized nearly [-] troops. Ma, you really think highly of me, Liu."

After dealing with a few wounded people, everyone found a place to sit down, ate dry food and regained their strength. Liu Kun couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the miserable state of the people in front of him.

They haven't escaped from danger yet, but they have already exhausted their physical strength by running all the way. If they don't recover, they won't have to run anymore, they might as well surrender.

It's just that no one can bear the consequences of surrender. The Hun leader offered a high price for Liu Kun's population.

After hearing the emotion, the soldier who was leading the way came over to comfort him: "Don't worry, Mr. Fu, the Huns don't pay attention to the exploration of the landforms in the forest. They are no more familiar with us than we are. It's easy to get rid of them. We can't go far." , even in Youzhou, with the reputation of the Xuanjia Army intimidating, the Huns would not dare to pursue it! Moreover, the terrain here is narrow, if they want to outflank, encircle, and launch a formation, they have to enter Youzhou, and my subordinates predict that they do not have this courage!"

"Youzhou Xuanjia Army..." chewing these two words, Liu Kun's expression was a little complicated.He had heard of the names of the governor of Youzhou and the general who conquered the north a few years ago. When he was defeated and retreated to Yanmen, he even sent a letter asking for help, agreeing that if the situation was too bad, he would go there and defect.

Fortunately, Liu Kun got out of the predicament in the end and barely took root. He no longer thought about going to Youzhou, thinking about opening up a world in Bingzhou and regaining the lost land one by one.

Over the past few years, in order to deal with the Huns, his original morale was flattened, countless pairs of shoes were worn out, and thick calluses formed on his hands. As a result, not only was the territory not taken back, but his own soldiers were. The battles were getting smaller and smaller, and the territory was getting smaller and smaller. If it hadn't been for some friendship with the Tuoba tribe, and relying on the friendship with Tuoba Yilu back then, to be able to get the help of Tuoba's reinforcements, I'm afraid they would have been defeated for a long time.

Unfortunately, Tuoba Sixth Cultivator of Tuoba Tribe is now the new Chanyu. With a little trick, the Huns cut off Tuoba Tribe's help to Liu Kun, causing him to completely lose support and eventually become a lost dog and run away in panic.

"Are we going to defect to Youzhou after all..."

After all, Liu Kun is a great talent. Although he, the governor of Bingzhou, cannot be compared with the governor of Youzhou, he has fought hard on his own for several years and has made great achievements, especially in the past two or three years, with the rise of Youzhou. Shen Ji, the reputation of the Han family for being good at fighting in the North fell on him, Liu Kun, and many people referred to him as Chen Zhi.

As a result, Liu Kun still has to go to Chen Zhi to seek asylum, and he feels really bad.

His son Liu Qun, who fled with him, saw what his father was thinking, and said: "First settle down in Youzhou and tidy up, and then go north to borrow troops from the Tuoba tribe. The eldest brother is quite appreciated by the Sixth Cultivator among the Tuoba tribe. I will definitely help my father succeed. The name of the Tuoba Xianbei cavalry will resound throughout the grasslands. They will attack the Xiongnu and restore their homeland. It will be just around the corner!"

Liu Kun listened and sighed.

The eldest brother Liu Zun mentioned by Liu Qun is serving as a hostage in the Tuoba tribe, which is one of the conditions for Liu Kun's cooperation with the Tuoba tribe.

Bingzhou was stolen by the Xiongnu, Liu Kun could not get help from the court, and he was unwilling to submit to Chen Zhi's command or ask for help from Youzhou, so he could only place his hopes on the Tuoba tribe. The Tuoba clan was the most powerful in the north. One of the main forces confronting the Huns.

Unfortunately, it turned out that relying on the support of the Tuoba tribe was not enough to win. It was not that Liu Kun had never borrowed troops. After he and Tuoba's old Shanyu Tuoba Yilu sworn sworn sworn brothers, he immediately borrowed tens of thousands of cavalry to conquer an area. It is a pity that the soldiers cannot stay for a long time. Without the soldiers, the territory cannot be maintained and it cannot last long.

"No," Liu Kun sighed and shook his head, his voice full of exhaustion, "Fighting against the Xiongnu does not depend on temporary success or failure. They already have a foundation in Bingzhou. Unless they can take control of the Tuoba tribe and slowly plan for it, Otherwise, even if we rely solely on borrowing troops, we can win temporarily, but it will not last long. Xianbei is not a Han family, so it will be difficult for me to use it. Moreover, the Tuoba cavalry is not the strongest in the north, so why should we sacrifice the near and the far?"

Liu Qun frowned: "What father is talking about, are you talking about the Youzhou soldiers and horses? It's just the Youzhou soldiers and horses. They haven't been used in how many years? The combat strength is all hearsay, or based on the results of the past few years, that is, there was a recent one." No one has seen the name of the Xuanjia Army. On the other hand, the Tuoba Tribe and even the Murong Tribe were suffering from the defeat a few years ago. Whether it was Murong Xin, Murong Huang, or Tuoba Sixth Cultivator, they all had great ambitions to conquer and expand. , The soldiers and horses under my command have been tested in actual combat, how can we talk about strength and weakness lightly?"

In fact, Liu Kun and his son were fighting guerrillas in the Yanmen area, and the information was quite limited. They knew very little about it, but they had a general idea, so they made this statement.

Liu Kun shook his head and said softly: "I haven't seen Youzhou soldiers and horses coming out to fight, but I should know at least what the seventh-rank Xianbei did. Could it be that Youzhou Xuanjia is still weaker than the seventh-rank clansmen?"
