Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 613 Rumors spread
Jiang Wei's appearance did not cause any disturbance.

In the face of the Xiongnu's strong attitude, the Wuhuan and Xianbei temporarily stopped their movements.

However, as time went on, some rumors began to spread in the camps of the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Xianbei.

On the Xiongnu side, news came that the Xianbei leader was dissatisfied with the Xiongnu Chanyu, saying that the Xianbei people believed that the Xiongnu were arrogant and rude and unworthy of leading the coalition forces.

On the Xianbei side, there were rumors that the Xiongnu Chanyu had secretly reached an agreement with the Han army and was preparing to suddenly turn against the Han army on the battlefield and join forces with the Han army to eliminate the Xianbei and Wuhuan.

As for Wuhuan...

There was no rumor, but a secret letter leaked out and fell into Lou Ban's hands.

...

It was a dark night and the Hun camp was completely silent, with only the cold wind whistling past, stirring up gusts of dust.

Lou Ban walked alone between the tents, his mind in a state of confusion.

Now that the Xiongnu Chanyu Huhuquan is so powerful, although they have formed an alliance, they are still wary of the Xiongnu's ambitions.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a corner of the curtain of a tent being blown open by the wind, revealing an unsealed secret letter.

Lou Ban's heart moved, he looked around, and seeing that no one was paying attention, he quietly walked into the tent and picked up the letter. The handwriting on the letter was strong and powerful, and it was written by Huchuquan himself.

He read the contents of the letter carefully in the dim light of the fire, and his face gradually turned pale.

In the letter, Huchuquan wrote to the Xianbei leader Kebi Neng: "Yanmen is already in our hands. After we capture it, you and I can join forces to attack Wuhuan. Wuhuan is a land with abundant water and grass. If we can capture it, you and I can share the benefits. Wouldn't that be great?"

Lou Ban's hands trembled slightly, and he was filled with anger.

He knew that the Huns were ambitious, but he did not expect Huochequan to be so vicious. Not only did he want to break through Yanmen, but he also wanted to join forces with the Xianbei to divide Wuhuan!

Wuhuan was his homeland, and his people still lived there. If the Xiongnu and the Xianbei joined forces, the Wuhuan would be devastated.

He clutched the letter tightly, a look of determination flashing in his eyes.

He knew that he could no longer sit there and wait for death, he had to find a solution!

But it is not a good idea to quarrel with the Huns right now, lest we get attacked.

Just as he was thinking, footsteps suddenly came from outside the tent.

Lou Ban's heart tightened. He quickly put the letter back to its place, quietly left the tent and disappeared into the darkness.

He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and made a secret decision in his heart: No matter what, the Huns must not be allowed to succeed!
In the darkness of the night, Lou Ban's figure gradually disappeared among the tents. Only the cold wind was still howling, as if foreshadowing an impending storm.

But he didn't see that after he left, the figure that flashed out was Yu Jin...

...

The various rumors in the camp became more and more outrageous, and Huochequan knew that something was wrong.

But he didn't suspect Jiang Wei for the time being.

Although these rumors were indeed spread after this kid came, after all, this kid was completely under control. In the entire camp, there were no other Han people except the Hu people. Even if this kid wanted to spread rumors, it would be difficult.

These rumors are probably caused by the different intentions among various ethnic groups.

So Sima Yi suggested that as long as Yanmen was breached, these rumors would be self-defeating. He suggested that Huochuquan organize another fierce attack and attack Yanmen again!
Huochuquan naturally responded and invited Louban and Kebineng to come in to discuss the matter.

just
The atmosphere is much worse than that of the first union.

Inside the big tent, the flickering firelight illuminated the gloomy face of Khan Huchuquan.

He sat high on the wolf-skin throne, his eyes scanning the people in the tent like an eagle.

In the tent, Lou Ban and Ke Bineng stood on both sides with different expressions, and the atmosphere was solemn and depressing.

Huochuquan spoke slowly, his voice low but with unquestionable majesty: "Yanmen Pass is the barrier of the Central Plains. If we can break through it, we can march straight into the heart of the Central Plains. This time, I decided to use Wuhuan as the vanguard. Louban, do you have any objection?"

When Lou Ban heard this, his heart sank, but his face remained expressionless.

He stepped forward, clasped his hands and said, "Chanyu, although the Wuhuan warriors are brave and good at fighting, they have been running low on food and grass recently, and their morale is low. I'm afraid they can't take on this important task. It would be better to let the Xianbei warriors be the vanguard. They are strong and will surely be able to break through Yanmen in one fell swoop."

Upon hearing this, Kebineng's face changed slightly, and he immediately stepped forward to refute: "Chanyu, although the Xianbei warriors are brave, their horses are tired recently, and they are not familiar with the terrain of Yanmen. I am afraid they are not qualified to serve as the vanguard. The Wuhuan warriors have lived in the border fortress for a long time and are familiar with the terrain. They are the best choice for the vanguard."

Huochequan frowned and looked back and forth between the two of them, obviously extremely dissatisfied with this evasion.

He snorted coldly and said, "What? Are you two trying to shirk your responsibility? Taking over Yanmen is a big deal. How can you let your selfishness ruin the overall situation?"

Lou Ban looked calm, and bowed again, saying, "Khan Yu, please understand. The Wuhuan warriors are not shirking their responsibilities. They are simply not strong enough. If we can get the help of the Xianbei warriors, the Wuhuan are willing to follow closely and jointly attack Yanmen."

Kebi Neng also quickly echoed: "Chanyu, the Xianbei warriors are willing to provide backup and fully support the Wuhuan vanguard. As long as the Wuhuan warriors take the lead in charging, the Xianbei will definitely support them with all their strength."

These two people are also very smart.

Knowing that it was absolutely impossible to push the task of vanguard onto the Huns, they began to shirk the responsibility.

Seeing the two men passing the buck to each other, Huochuquan grew increasingly angry. He slammed the table and shouted, "Enough! You two are trying to disobey my orders by shirking responsibility like this?"

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became tense. The Xiongnu warriors clenched their sword handles and stared at Lou Ban and Kebineng fiercely.

Lou Ban and Ke Bineng looked at each other and knew in their hearts that if they continued to refuse, they would probably incur Huochuquan's wrath.

But whoever you let be the vanguard will be the one to sacrifice the lives of his own people!

Regarding this matter, no matter whether it is Lou Ban or Ke Bineng, how should they respond?

Naturally, both of them were extremely unwilling!

Lou Ban took a deep breath and was about to think of a way to refuse when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the tent.

A Xiongnu scout rushed into the tent, knelt on one knee, and said urgently: "Report! The guards of Yanmen Pass suddenly attacked. Our vanguard was not prepared and suffered setbacks repeatedly, resulting in heavy losses!"

Upon hearing this, Huochuquan's face changed drastically. He stood up suddenly and shouted angrily, "What? The Yanmen defenders dared to take the initiative to attack? Pass the order down, prepare the whole army for battle, I want to see what they are capable of!"

Seeing this, Lou Ban and Ke Bineng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time they also realized that the situation had become more complicated.

The two looked at each other, and a hint of deep meaning flashed in their eyes, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding in silence.
As for Sima Yi, his expression became even more sinister.

I feel that the current atmosphere is becoming more and more wrong!

Although he was nominally the Right Wise King of the Xiongnu, it was unclear how many people would listen to him.
