Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 281: End of War and Peace

Liu He was not afraid of the more than 10,000 cavalrymen in front of him. Ordinary people could not move, but facing these aggressive Xianbei cavalrymen, there was no need to be polite.

He was about to give orders and prepare to charge the whole army when the Elon leader suddenly waved his hand and shouted.

"slow!"

Everyone on both sides looked at him in confusion.

"Stop it, we are not enemies, why bother using knives and guns?"

After these words were spoken, everyone became even more confused.

Who are Liu He and others? They are Han people, the mortal enemies of the Xianbei, and the murderers of you, the son of the Yilon leader. If they are not enemies, then who are they?

Liu He and others were puzzled and had no idea what this Yilon leader was up to.

After Yilong stopped the Xianbei cavalry behind him, he suddenly got off his horse, walked in front of Liu He, put his right arm on his chest, and bowed to Liu He.

"Lord Liu He's reputation has long been admired by Yilong and Lord Budugen. Back then, Kuitou was aggressive and reckless with his 70,000-man army, but he was still defeated by you. Now my tribe dares not compete with you! Moreover, Lord Budugen has admired the Han Dynasty for many years and has long wanted to form an eternal alliance with the Han Dynasty. Today, I am glad to see Lord Liu, and I, Yilong, am willing to shake hands with you and make peace, and there will be no more wars from now on!"

Liu He and others were completely confused this time.

"Brother, this guy has confused me."

Cheng Liang said to Liu He.

Not to mention him, even Liu He was caught off guard.

Cui Jun reminded him softly, "My lord, whether it is true or false, you should not hit a smiling person. Since the other party has such an attitude, my lord should return the favor. There must be a large number of our Han compatriots in the Qiangyin City behind them. If we tear our faces apart, I am afraid that the lives of those people in the city will be in danger."

When Liu He heard this, he thought it made sense and dismounted immediately.

"Chief Yilon is too polite. I admire you and Chief Budugen for being so magnanimous. I was disrespectful before and I am really sorry for killing your offspring!"

However, Yilong said nonchalantly, "That rebellious son is courting his own death. He has lived for thirty-three years in vain. He has always been arrogant and thinks he is the best martial artist in the world. He doesn't take others seriously. Even if he doesn't die at the hands of Lord Liu and General Guan today, he will be killed by others sooner or later. I, as his father, have advised him many times, but he never listened. Now he has brought it upon himself. It's not your fault. Besides, I, Yilong, have four sons, six daughters, and more than twenty grandchildren. Losing him will not only not cause any harm, but may also save my tribe from an unexpected disaster in the future."

Liu He looked at his face, but he was full of doubts and couldn't tell the truth from the falsehood.

But what the other party said was reasonable and there seemed to be nothing wrong with it. Moreover, in the history he learned in his previous life, Kuitou's younger brother Budugen had always been pro-Han, or pro-Wei. After he became the leader of the Western Xianbei, his relationship with the Central Plains was relatively close. Compared with Kebinen of the Central Xianbei who rebelled and surrendered from time to time, Budugen was relatively reliable.

However, no matter whether the other party was sincere or not, now that he had such an attitude, Liu He couldn't refuse openly.

He knew very well that the Xianbei people, since the death of Tan Shihuai, had split into three major tribes, namely the East, the Central and the West, and some independent tribes. Even the three major tribes were composed of several or even dozens of large and small tribes.

Although the Xianbei and the Han Dynasty were enemies in general, many tribes, for various reasons, had begun to dislike war and hoped to reconcile with the Han Dynasty and exchange what they had with each other. If he ignored Yilon's request for peace and rashly killed him, it would be a relief and Qiangyin County could immediately return to the Han Dynasty, but those Xianbei tribes that could have been won over would also completely give up the idea of ​​forming an alliance with the Han Dynasty.

Liu He studied history in his previous life and had looked up a lot of information on this point, so he figured it out immediately.

"Your Excellency is too kind. I am ashamed of myself. Since you and Lord Budugen have such intentions, the Han people have always advocated peaceful exchanges, so there is no reason to refuse."

Elon was delighted.

"That's great. I'll send someone to inform Lord Budugen right away. If he knows, he will be overjoyed and will come to meet you overnight to discuss peace talks! Otherwise, if our two families continue to fight like this, there will be no other benefits except years of war and countless casualties. But..." Liu He frowned, "Whatever you want, please tell me."

Elon smiled and said, "Haha, Lord Liu must also know that Lord Budugen is now competing with Qianman for the position of leader of the Western Xianbei. If you and Lord Budugen can successfully form an alliance, then..."

How could Liu He not understand what he meant?

"Don't worry, sir. If Lord Budugen really wants to form an eternal alliance with our Han Dynasty, I will naturally do my best to help him ascend the throne of leader. This will stabilize the border of Bingzhou, and I can return to the capital to report!"

Liu He never forgot his goal of returning to the capital. He had few people in the court who spoke for him. Generals Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi were all fighting outside. Only Cui Lie was left, and he could not do anything alone.

Only by entering the court in person can one avoid to the greatest extent the obstacles brought to him by the disorderly politics of the aristocratic families, eunuchs, and external relatives.

Elon looked very surprised.

"Master Liu He is indeed very straightforward. Let's go into the city to have a drink. I, Yi Long, will welcome you!"

Yilong turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation, and then he saw that more than 10,000 Xianbei cavalry dispersed to both sides, making a way for Liu He. At the end of the road, a city was vaguely visible, which was naturally the Qiangyin County.

Liu He couldn't refuse, so he walked forward with Elon.

Guan Yu and others led the army and hurried to catch up, but were stopped by the Xianbei cavalry.

"What do you mean by stopping us outside the city? Are you trying to harm my eldest brother?"

Guan Yu shouted angrily.

"You have such a large army, and if you enter the city like this, we are afraid that you will harm us! Anyway, you can't enter!"

Several Xianbei generals also refused to give in.

The two sides glared at each other, and the fighting spirit that had been suppressed with great difficulty rose up again.

Liu He and Yilong heard the quarrel behind them and hurried back.

"What are you arguing about? Lord Liu is a distinguished guest of my tribe, and Lord Budugen as well. I invited them to enter the city. What right do you have to stop them?"

"Chief, the Han people are too cunning. They outnumber us. If they change their minds after entering the city, your safety will be in jeopardy..."

"Nonsense! Someone, drag this guy away and feed him to the wolves!"

Liu He hurriedly stopped him.

"Captain Yilon, what this man said makes sense. As the saying goes, you should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others. How about this? Let my generals and personal guards follow me into the city, and the army will camp outside the city. Since both you and I are willing to form an alliance, we should naturally trust each other. I, Liu He, will take this opportunity to express my trust in you."

Yi Long said happily: "Lord Liu is indeed a rare hero, and he is rare among the Xianbei people. Since you have spoken, let's spare this guy. Let's go into the city and have a drink!"

Liu He waved his hand, Guan Yu and others glanced at the Xianbei generals, and followed them in, leaving the army to find a place to camp and cook outside the city.
