Chapter 420 I want the Xiongnu to follow the footsteps of the Wuhuan! Qin and Jin are friends? And you want to force me to marry?

The person who spoke was Xiao Fang.

In history, Cao Cao always suppressed and defeated the Hu people.

Not to mention the expedition beyond the Great Wall and the annihilation of the Wuhuan in one fell swoop.

Historically, when Cao Cao was alive, he adopted a policy of suppression against the Huns, Qiang people, and even the Xianbei.

Anyone who dares to show up will be beaten to death.

Back then, Cao Cao dared to be so cruel because he relied on the strong national strength of Cao Wei.

Therefore, based on Xiao Fang's understanding of Cao Cao, in the current situation where he has not yet reached a desperate situation, it is unlikely that Cao Cao will become the second Yuan Shang and cede land to the Huns for help.

Then the only explanation is that Cao Ren was bewitched by someone and was willing to bear the infamy in order to protect Bingzhou, so he took the initiative to ask Yu Fuluo for help.

"Jing Lue's words make sense. I understand Cao Ze. This is definitely not something he would do..."

Liu Bei calmed down, nodded slightly in agreement, and the anger on his face faded slightly.

"Whether it was Cao Cao's instruction or not, Yu Fuluo's intervention in the battle of Bingzhou is a foregone conclusion."

"Fifty thousand Xiongnu cavalry is not too many, but not too few either. If used properly, their threat should not be underestimated."

"I'm afraid the battle at Baibo Pass will not be easy to fight."

Fa Zheng's words calmed down the people around him, and the indignation in the eyes of the generals quietly turned into a little fear.

Those were 50,000 cavalry, not 50,000 infantry!

Although the Han Dynasty has recovered Yanzhou and obtained some land for raising horses, the scale and combat effectiveness of its cavalry have made great progress.

The current total number of Han cavalry is about 20,000.

However, half of these 20,000 cavalrymen would be deployed in the border areas of Youzhou to intimidate and monitor the Xianbei people outside the Great Wall and Gongsun Du in Liaodong.

The total number of cavalrymen following Liu Bei to attack Qin is no more than 10,000.

Ten thousand cavalry against fifty thousand cavalry, the disparity in military strength is huge.

Be it Ma Chao, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Zhao Yun and other generals, they are all good at commanding cavalry. Naturally, they understand what a five-fold difference in troop strength means for cavalry combat.

It was understandable that the generals felt a little apprehensive.

"Xiaozhi reminded me that if Cao Ren had the help of 50,000 Xiongnu cavalry, this battle would have been difficult to fight..."

Liu Bei stroked his thin beard lightly, his brows furrowed, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

A loud laugh broke the silence.

It was Xiao Fang who was laughing.

The laughter was wild and disdainful, as if the 50,000 Hun cavalry were not taken seriously at all.

"Prime Minister..."

Liu Bei and his generals were shocked and all looked at Xiao Fang with surprise and suspicion in their eyes.

The laughter stopped abruptly.

Xiao Fang pointed his feather fan in the direction of Youzhou and sneered:
"Have you all forgotten the battle at Yishui? The 40,000 Wuhuan cavalry were not much inferior to the Xiongnu."

"Our strength back then was inferior to the strength of our Han people today."

"Even so, did the Wuhuan cavalry block us from crossing the Yishui River? Did they save Yuan Shang and his fake Wei?"

"no!"

"Now that our great Han is so powerful, Your Majesty has 100,000 strong soldiers and 10,000 elite cavalry at your disposal. Do you still want to be afraid of a mere 50,000 Xiongnu?"

"That Yu Fuluo dares not to live or die, coming here to be an enemy of our Han Dynasty and your Majesty, we will destroy him!"

"In this battle, we will take advantage of the situation to defeat the main force of the Xiongnu, and make them follow in the footsteps of the Wuhuan people, and take advantage of the situation to resolve the Xiongnu hidden danger in Bingzhou!"

Xiao Fang's heroic words were like thunder, shocking people's hearts.

Everyone was encouraged by these words, and the fear and worry in their eyes disappeared in an instant.

The blood began to boil, and pride and confidence burned in the eyes.

"Jing Lue's words make sense!"

"I was not afraid of the Wuhuan people back then, so why should I be afraid of the Xiongnu now?"

Liu Bei was filled with heroic spirit and waved his hand proudly:

"If Yu Fuluo doesn't know how to live or die and wants to be a roadblock to my attack on Qin and Cao, I will eliminate him and his Xiongnu cavalry together!"

"Everyone, are you willing to follow me and kill all the Xiongnu without leaving a single piece of armor?"

Liu Bei glanced at his ministers.

The blood of the generals was instantly ignited by Liu Bei's domineering words.

"I am willing to follow your majesty and kill the Xiongnu without leaving a single piece of armor behind!"

"I am willing to follow your majesty and kill all the Huns without leaving a single one alive!"

The generals were full of fighting spirit, and their generous and confident shouts on the battlefield echoed over the plains.

...

Three days later, Baibo Pass.

Inside and outside the pass, tents are now scattered all over the place, densely covering the inside and outside of the city.

The streets of Guancheng were filled with the noise of the Huns, as if the city had been occupied by the Huns.

The Qin soldiers had to hold their noses and endure the noise of the Huns, carrying food, wine and meat to the Huns' camp to entertain the troops.

A welcoming banquet was also taking place in the Guancheng Military Headquarters.

Cao Ren, the General of Cavalry, was forcing a smile on his face as he entertained Yu Fuluo, who had come from afar to help in the battle.

"General Cao, in the battle of Fengqiu, you chased me for a full thirty miles and almost killed me."

"I never thought that after ten years, I, Yu Fuluo, would become your guest of honor. Don't you think this is absurd?"

Yu Fuluo drank from big bowls of wine, ate meat with big mouthfuls, and did not forget to mock Cao Ren.

Cao Ren looked embarrassed. When Cao Cao first gained Yanzhou, Yuan Shu was dissatisfied and joined forces with the Southern Xiongnu to attack Cao Cao.

As a result, Yuan Shu was too incompetent. When he saw the situation was not good in the Battle of Fengqiu, he withdrew his troops and fled, leaving Yufuluo's Xiongnu army to face Cao's army alone.

Cao Ren, who was the vanguard at the time, led his troops to inflict heavy damage on the Xiongnu army and chased Yu Furuo for thirty miles, almost taking his life.

Yu Furuo naturally kept this account in mind.

Now that his "old friend" Cao Ren shamelessly asked him for help and treated him as a guest of honor, he naturally seized the opportunity to bring up old matters and take the chance to ridicule and mock Cao Ren.

The Qin lieutenant generals were all annoyed when they saw Yu Furo mocking and ridiculing their own commander, and they all glared at each other.

Cao Ren also clenched his fists, his anger rising, and he had the urge to pick up his knife and kill Yu Fuluo on the spot.

"There is an old saying that goes 'You can't know each other without fighting'. The General of the Cavalry often mentioned to us that if Yuan Shu had not fled without a fight, given the great Chanyu's military genius and the Xiongnu soldiers' unparalleled bravery, our army might not have been able to defeat the Great Chanyu."

At the critical moment, Yang Xiu stood up with a smile to smooth things over and praised Yu Furuo in various ways.

Yu Fuluo felt comfortable listening to this, pointed at Yang Xiu and laughed:

"You, a pretty boy, are good at talking. Not bad."

Yang Xiu laughed and struck while the iron was hot, pointing to the south:
"It's not that I'm good at talking, but that's the fact."

"Looking at the whole world, the only one who can stop Liu Bei from swallowing up Bingzhou is you, the Great Chanyu."

"The life and death of the people of Bingzhou and my general are now completely entrusted to the Great Chanyu."

This flattery was so disgusting that not only Cao Ren but even Cao Zhi couldn't stand it anymore. He felt that Yang Xiu's flattery was too much.

Yu Fuluo laughed heartily and said proudly:

"General Cao, my fifty thousand Xiongnu cavalry have arrived, so you can just relax."

"If I take action, I will definitely kill the 100,000 Han troops outside the pass without leaving a single piece of armor!"

Yu Furuo patted his chest and made some wild remarks.

Cao Ren was originally unhappy, but when he heard Yu Furuo's big talk, he couldn't help but be cheered up.

"I witnessed the bravery of the Xiongnu soldiers with my own eyes."

"I believe that with the Great Chanyu on the scene, Baibo Pass will be safe and secure."

"The Han army will be defeated, and the big-eared thief will be defeated for sure!"

"Come, come, come, I offer a toast to the Great Chanyu!"

Cao Ren also pinched his nose and started to flatter him, smiling and raising his glass high.

Yu Furuo became even more proud. He laughed loudly several times towards the sky and drank the cup in one gulp.

After drinking the wine and eating the meat, Yu Furuo wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth and the smile on his face faded a little.

"General Cao, the emperor promised that if I am willing to send troops to help you defeat Liu Bei and defend Bingzhou, he will grant me the five counties of Xihe for permanent residence, and will also confer me the title of King of Jin of Great Qin."

"I want to ask, the emperor's promise should be counted, right?"

Yu Furuo's tone and expression became serious.

The hall immediately fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Cao Ren.

All the generals knew that the so-called promise of the emperor was a lie made up by Cao Ren to persuade You Yufuluo to send troops.

To put it mildly, this is called fraud, and to put it seriously, it is called false imperial decree.

Yu Furuo was not stupid, so he would not believe it easily. He would force Cao Ren to admit it in person in front of everyone.

If Cao Ren were to admit it now, there would be no turning back.

Even if Cao Cao found out about it afterwards, he had no choice but to admit it. The land that should be ceded had to be ceded, and the King of Jin who should be enthroned had to be enthroned.

If you want to regret, now is your last chance.

But if I go back on my word, wouldn't that be making fun of Yu Furuo?
Can this Huns' Great Khan swallow his anger and allow you to toy with him?
I am afraid that in a fit of rage, Yu Furuo would turn against Liu Bei on the spot and help Liu Bei capture Baibo Pass, and it is possible that they would jointly deal with the Qin State.

Both Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu were sweating, fearing that Cao Ren would go back on his word.

After a moment of silence.

Cao Ren secretly exhaled, his face filled with solemnity:
"Sir, don't joke. My emperor is a man of his word. How can he go back on his word?"

"Great Chanyu, you can rest assured."

Yang Xiu and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.

Xun You sighed, raised his head and drank a glass of wine to relieve his sorrow.

"Good, good, good, the Emperor of Qin is indeed a man of his word. I admire you so much!"

Yu Furuo laughed heartily, naturally feeling very satisfied.

Cao Ren swallowed the bitter taste, put on a smile, poured a glass of wine for Yu Furuo himself, and was about to offer it to him with both hands.

"Wait a minute!"

Yu Fuluo stopped laughing and held down his glass:

"General Cao, I have a small request that needs the approval of the Emperor of Qin."

Cao Ren's heart skipped a beat, and he thought that this Hu chief was greedy and was asking for an exorbitant amount of money.

"If the Great Chanyu has any other requests, just tell me. As long as the Great Qin can do it, there is no reason for the emperor not to grant it."

Cao Ren suppressed his anger and smiled magnanimously.

Yu Fuluo chuckled and said slowly:

"Since the Emperor of Great Qin wants to make me the King of Jin, I heard that you Han people have a saying, which is to form a good relationship between Qin and Jin."

"I know that the Emperor of Qin has three daughters, all of whom are of marriageable age, so I wonder if the Emperor of Qin can marry these three princesses to me?"

"In this way, our two families will form a Qin-Jin friendship and jointly resist the Han Dynasty. Isn't that wonderful?"

Cao Ren's expression suddenly changed.

Yu Furuo is trying to force Cao Cao to marry a princess!
