Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 254
Xihe County, Lishi County.

In a large camp outside the city, in the largest tent, several people were discussing matters.

"Foster father, this Wang Biejia is so rude. Foster father sent people to summon him three times, but he ignored them all. He is too arrogant. It would be better if I could tie him up and bring him here!"

A burly and powerful general said in a very unhappy tone. It was Lu Bu.

A man sitting at the top looked at him and said, "Fengxian should not be reckless. The deputy driver is Wang Yuzhou's nephew. It is understandable that he dares not go out because he is frightened. Since he is not coming, we don't need to care about all the government and military affairs for the time being."

Although Lu Bu was a little disappointed, his expression eased a little after hearing what Ding Yuan said at the end.

"Hehe, this Wang guy just relies on his good family background to bully me. He yells at me all day long. Last time, he made me lose face in Yanmen. Now I can just dampen his arrogance! Now I have been adopted as the son of the governor, but he has been ignored by his adoptive father. Hehe, I want to see who will have the last laugh."

Ding Yuan added: "Today I summoned Fengxian and several generals to discuss important matters."

When Lu Bu heard that there was something important, he quickly withdrew his thoughts, stood back in the queue and listened carefully.

"I got the news that not long ago, the governor of Yanmen defeated 70,000 Xianbei cavalrymen. The Xianbei cavalrymen suffered heavy casualties, and their leader Kuitou was captured alive by the Yanmen defenders!"

"what!"

Many generals in the tent, including Lu Bu, were horrified, with their mouths wide open, unable to speak for a long time.

"This... How is this possible... How can they be so powerful!?"

Lu Bu was unwilling to believe that the news was true.

However, Ding Yuan emphasized again very seriously: "This news is absolutely true. Not only did Yanmen Taisou Liu He report military intelligence, but the spies I sent also reported the same thing. The news reported by Dingxiang Taishou is the same. This battle can be regarded as the greatest victory of our Han Dynasty and Xianbei in the decades of fighting!"

Ding Yuan was getting more and more delighted as he spoke: "According to the intelligence I just received, the Xianbei were seriously injured this time. Kuitou's younger brother Budugen and the former leader Helian's son Qianman are already vying for the position of Xianbei leader. The Xiongnu are eager to make a move and have assembled a large number of troops to go north to seize back the Hetao area from the Xianbei, which is the Shuofang County of our Han Dynasty."

A general said excitedly: "In this way, do we have a chance to march westward and recapture Shangjun occupied by the Xiongnu?"

"If this is really possible, we will be able to achieve great success!"

All the generals in the tent were delighted.

Although Lu Bu didn't dare to believe that Liu He had such strength, he found it difficult to refuse such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a contribution.

Ding Yuan said: "Yes, I plan to lead an army of 50,000 to the west to Shangjun, first to recover Baitu, Fushi and other counties, then annex and support the people, and then try to recover the homeland! If this can be accomplished, we can not only be awarded titles and appointed generals, but also our names can be recorded in history!"

Everyone was extremely emotional.

"I am willing to follow you to serve the country and make contributions!"

"Okay! Gather the troops and food supplies, and send out the troops in three days!"

Although more than ten counties in the northern part of Bingzhou had been controlled by the Xianbei, they were still home to more than 100,000 people.

The Xianbei people left a small force in each city to enslave the Han people and force them to farm, weave and herd for them.

This was still considered good, especially for the women, who had long lost their human form under the torture of the Xianbei people. In the wild, in the house, in the stable, and even on the broken city walls, one could see women being raped by several Xianbei soldiers at any time and anywhere. Many women tried to resist, but were only met with a beating.

Most of those who were slightly stronger and able to escape fled south, and the rest were simply unable to resist.

Here, a large number of women died every day, and many chose to commit suicide because they could not endure such torture. Even among men, many died of exhaustion, starvation, or illness because they could not withstand the high-intensity labor and beatings by the Xianbei people.

The once peaceful and prosperous Han land has now turned into a purgatory-like existence in the blink of an eye.

In a dilapidated city, several ragged and unkempt slaves took advantage of the guard's nap to run to the wall to rest for a while.

"What happened these past two days? Why did the Xianbei people withdraw most of the guards? Did they have good intentions? That's impossible."

An old man who was already very thin, his face full of questions.

"Hey, who cares about so many things? Anyway, we can't run away. There is no hope for the future. Now that we have a little more time, we should take a break. The court has probably given up on us a long time ago. If I didn't have a little grandson to take care of, I would have wanted to die a long time ago."

Another old man with a beard looked at a little head sticking out of the window of a shabby house not far away, his face full of kindness.

A lame man nearby picked up a broken ladle and scooped some rainwater from a bucket beside him that was left over from the rain a few days ago. He gulped down a few big gulps.

"Huh... so comfortable... Now, I have to thank God for being able to sit down and drink some rain water. What kind of life am I living in? Sooner or later, I will have to escape even with my crippled leg!"

The old man at first joked: "If that day really comes, it will be God's will. But I don't think we will live to see that day."

"You grown men are all saying such depressing things. Didn't the new governor who came to Yanmen last year repel the Xianbei army? Maybe we will be rescued."

An old woman with a hunchback scolded him a few times. The old man was a little unconvinced: "Hey, repelling the Xianbei is nothing. I heard that not long ago, the Xianbei assembled an army of 70,000 to 80,000 to attack Yanmen. I think the people of Yanmen will be reduced to the same fate as us this time. As for the current imperial court, hey, I don't trust it at all, ahem..."

"Come on, come on. We all don't have much time left to live. It's not worth getting anxious and angry about this."

The bearded old man patted his back and helped him to calm down.

"What are you doing! You lowly Han people are slacking off again. You really deserve a beating!"

A loud shout suddenly rang out, and then a figure rushed over and whipped the thin old man who spoke first.

"Ah...ahem..."

The old man suddenly fell to the ground, his whole body convulsing.

Not only did the Xianbei soldier not show any sympathy, he rushed up and kicked him several times. Within two or three breaths, the old man stopped twitching and was no longer able to breathe.

"Xianbei dog, you f*cking ..."

The lame man was about to rush forward and fight, but was held tightly by the bearded old man.

"Don't make a fearless sacrifice. You are still young and you must keep your body useful!"

The lame man was filled with rage and had long been fed up with this kind of oppressed and dark life. The death of the old man now triggered his emotions, and he could not stop it no matter what.

"I'll fight you!"

The lame man pounced directly on the Xianbei soldier.

However, he was disabled and had not eaten enough for days. How could he possibly be a match for these big and strong Xianbei soldiers?
The other party raised his foot and kicked the lame man far away.

"If you dare to attack me, I will cripple your other leg today!"

The Xianbei soldier walked over viciously. The old man and the old woman couldn't bear to watch the tragedy that was about to happen, and turned their heads away.

At this moment, a loud and clear horn sounded in all directions, followed by the sound of hurried horse hooves.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw another Xianbei soldier, holding a horn and rushing towards them in a hurry.

"The leader was defeated at Yanmen, urgently assemble the soldiers!"

The man shouted this sentence repeatedly and did not stay here. He just rode his horse, blowing the horn, galloping and shouting.

For a moment, these words lingered in the ears of several people for a long time.

The Xianbei soldier heard the horn and looked at the lame man.

"Bah... I'll spare you today, and I'll punish you when I come back!"

After saying that, he ran to the stable, mounted his warhorse, and headed straight in one direction.

It took them a long time to recover from their surprise.

"Just now... that person just now said that the Xianbei were defeated at Yanmen?"

The lame man asked uncertainly.

"Yes, yes, I have really good ears. We are saved this time!"

"That's great, that's great! This time, the Xianbei army of 70,000 to 80,000 was defeated at Yanmen. It seems that the court has not forgotten us! The army will march north to recover the lost territory in the near future! I, an old man, have never been so happy in my life. It's great... cough cough..."

The news was confirmed, and the lame man was very excited, completely forgetting the pain of being kicked hard by the Xianbei soldiers just now.

"It seems that the Xianbei's defeat happened several days ago. Their leader has been recruiting soldiers from all over the country. I don't know if it's because they don't have enough soldiers or what. Now they are recruiting again. It seems that we have hope of escaping!"

His face was full of joy, and he walked back and forth with a limp, rubbing his hands constantly.

"No, we can't escape, we can't escape, we have to stay here to meet the imperial army! There are only a few thousand Xianbei defenders in this area now. After this call, it is estimated that there will be only a few hundred people left. We still have thousands of compatriots and brothers. When the time comes, even if we risk our lives, we will fight these Xianbei dogs!"

The bearded old man looked at the child in the shabby house not far away, and he seemed to have become younger.

"Okay! The young man said it well. Let's wait for the imperial army to arrive, and then join forces with them from inside and outside to let these Xianbei bastards know that we Han people are not cowards!"
