Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 628 We Need a New Target
"Princess, the conflict between the Xianbei and the Han people has been going on for many years. The war has continued and the people have been displaced."

"If this continues, the descendants of the Xianbei will live in the shadow of swords forever!"

Kebi became even more excited when he saw Princess Buri didn't say anything.

But he said: "Since Xing Daorong can marry the daughter of the Barbarian King, he can also marry our Xianbei princess."

"If Xing Daorong is willing to form an alliance with the Xianbei and marry you, it will help resolve the hatred between the two tribes and bring about peace. This will be a great boon to our tribe."

Although Princess Bu Ri could understand the leader's painstaking efforts, the proposal of marriage was too sudden.

He could not help but retort: ​​"Chief, have you forgotten how many times the Han people have betrayed us and slaughtered our Xianbei people?"

"Now you want me to marry their general. Isn't this bringing shame to us Xianbei?"

Kebi knew that Princess Buri would be a little arrogant, so he said calmly, "Princess, hatred will only bring more hatred."

"This button still needs to be unbuttoned. If Xing Daorong and you are willing to use marriage as a bond to resolve the hatred between the two tribes, this is a good opportunity for the Xianbei and Han people to seek peace together."

"As long as the princess is willing, the descendants of the Xianbei will no longer suffer from the flames of war, and peace will return to the grasslands."

Princess Bu Ri was silent for a moment, with a hint of struggle in her eyes.

After a long while, she slowly raised her head and said in a low but firm voice: "Chief, have you ever thought about how the Xianbei warriors would view me if I married a Han Chinese? They would think that I betrayed my people and the glory of the grassland."

Ke Bineng took a step forward, his eyes burning, "Princess, don't worry about this matter. I will explain everything clearly, and there must not be any misunderstanding."

Having said that, seeing that Princess Bu Ri was still hesitant, he could only talk about the most realistic situation.

But he said: "Besides... now the Han people ask us to send troops, should we accept or not?"

"If we don't do that...then the Han people will be disloyal and attack our people."

"The fate of those five thousand people lies in the hands of Xing Daorong!"

"The Wuhuan tribe has already surrendered to the Han Dynasty. We are fighting alone. If Xing Daorong really attacks us, we won't even have a single reinforcement."

"Princess, please think carefully!"

after all…

Or the reality is even more cruel!
When Princess Buri heard Kebineng say this, she knew that the marriage would be successful.

But even if a marriage is to be formed, the method must be considered.

But he paused for a moment and said, "Chief, I agree to this matter, but even if we want to form a marriage alliance, we can't just send her away. It would make us look too weak."

"Today I have a suggestion..."

When Kebineng heard Princess Buri's agreement, he nodded and said with a smile, "Princess, please tell me if you have any suggestions."

Princess Bu Ri said, "This time Xing Daorong wants soldiers, I will lead these five thousand men."

Ke Bineng was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly realized what the princess was thinking.

I'm afraid they want to use this as an opportunity to form a marriage alliance.

That’s good too…

This way, it will be easier to explain to the clan members.

After all, it sounds better if two people are in love with each other than forcing someone to do something.

Kebineng agreed immediately, selected five thousand Xianbei warriors, and followed Princess Buri to meet Xing Daorong.

On the other side, the Wuhuan people also selected 5,000 tribesmen, named Khanlu King Wuyan as the leader, and went with Jiang Wei to find Xing Daorong to join them.

So Xing Daorong formed a coalition of foreign tribes and headed towards Liaodong.

...

Ever since Gongsun Gong knew that Liu Bei had unified the country, he knew that his troops would definitely come to Liaodong.

To put it bluntly, although he is still the Governor of Liaodong and the General of Chariots and Cavalry, these official positions... were all awarded by the "previous dynasty".

Of course, this previous dynasty was not a pure previous dynasty. Liu Bei's succession to the throne was ultimately a legal succession from Liu Xie.

In theory, these official positions are legal.

But because of the incident of Cao Pi succeeding to the throne, it always feels a little different.

Let’s talk about the generals…

Liu Bei has his own general of chariots and cavalry.

It is impossible for there to be two generals of chariots and cavalry in one day. Problems like these must be solved eventually.

Therefore, when the great Han general Xing Daorong came with a large army, Gongsun Gong was still a little nervous.

Naturally, Xing Daorong came here not only to find a new target for the grassland people - the Yamatai Kingdom.

On the other hand, Liu Bei also ordered him to come to Liaodong for another purpose.

As for what the matter is, it depends on Gongsun's attitude.

Gongsun Gong is actually a person with a relatively soft character. If the separatist regime in Liaodong can achieve a peaceful transition to unification, in his hands... it might be the best time.

This Gongsun Gong was the second son of Gongsun Du, the governor of Liaodong, and the younger brother of Gongsun Kang, the left general.

After Gongsun Du died, his son Gongsun Kang succeeded him and gave the honorary title of Marquis of Yongning to his younger brother Gongsun Gong.

Later, Gongsun Kang died, and his sons Gongsun Huang, Gongsun Yuan and others were all young, so everyone recommended Gongsun Gong as the prefect of Liaodong.

Gongsun Gong had always been in poor health. He was infertile due to illness and had always been weak.

According to the original history, he was forced to abdicate and imprisoned by the grown-up Gongsun Yuan in the second year of Taihe.

Perhaps because of his physical condition, Gongsun Gong has a gentler personality.

At this moment, outside the city of Xiangping, he was waiting obediently for Xing Daorong to arrive.

...

Gongsun Gong stood on the high wall of Xiangping City, looking at the dusty official road in the distance.

The early spring wind was chilly, rolling up his wide sleeves and revealing the exquisite armor underneath.

His fingers unconsciously stroked the blue bricks on the city wall, feeling the rough texture of the bricks.

"Report - General Xing is ten miles outside the city!"

The messenger's voice brought Gongsun Gong back to his senses. He nodded slightly, his eyes fixed on the neatly lined-up ceremonial guards under the city. The bronze chimes made a crisp sound in the wind, the flags fluttered, and the soldiers stood in awe.

A black line gradually appeared on the distant horizon.

The black line was getting closer and closer, and turned into a neat military formation.

In the front was a large red flag with the word "Xing" written on it, shining brightly in the sun.

Gongsun Gong narrowed his eyes and saw a tall white horse coming in front. The man on the horse was wearing black armor. It was Xing Daorong.

What frightened Gongsun Gong was the military appearance behind Xing Daorong.

The 30,000-strong army was divided into three routes. The central army was the elite Han army, and the left and right wings were the coalition forces of Wuhuan and Xianbei.

The Wuhuan cavalry wore leather armor, sable hats, and scimitars were hung on their saddles; the Xianbei warriors wore wolfskin cloaks and had short axes on their waists.

Although the two foreign armies were dressed differently, they were both well-disciplined and marched in no disorder.

The rumors on the grassland are indeed true!

Xing Daorong has already conquered the Xiongnu, and the Wuhuan and Xianbei have surrendered!

I don’t know…

What is Xing Daorong's intention in coming here today? Why does he want to lead so many soldiers and horses?
Feeling anxious, the gentle Gongsun Gong did not intend to react too violently...
