Halfway up Tanhan Shan, there was a piece of flat grassland with a radius of a dozen miles. Normally, this was the place to train with the company's cavalry, but right now, it was densely packed with tents. There was a large, milky white tent in the middle. On the red banner hanging at the entrance, there was a grayish-brown deer. This deer had two horns, each of them with six forks. It looked extremely mighty. Outsiders might not be able to understand this standard, but Xianbei People knew that this was the standard of the young king, because only the young king's standard could be embroidered with a six pronged horse deer, while the Great King of Xianbei's standard had nine prongs on its two horns.

Inside the milky white tent, Kebineng was seated and drinking wine with Bu Dugen. Both of their faces were gloomy.

Different from Kebineng who was born in a small clan, Bu Dugen was a direct descendant of the Tan Shihuai clan, and his father was Tan Shihuai's nephew. 's father was also lucky enough to escape the calamity as he killed his brothers and sisters wantonly after ascending the throne. At that time, Bu Dugen and his elder brother Pu Tou coincidentally went to the He Prefecture and escaped this calamity.

From then on, Pu Tou and Bu Dugen stayed more than four hundred kilometers away from the prefecture region, on top of the forked mountain, together with the clansmen of their own tribe (Tan Shihuai had previously given his son and nephew, while Pu Tou and Bu Dugen's father had obtained the forked mountain and the surrounding two hundred kilometers). He hastily cleared up the internal rebellion, did not have the time to remove the roots, and after suppressing the internal rebellion, his vitality was greatly damaged. He simply did not have the ability to send an army to attack Xushan, allowing Pu Tou and Pu Tou to grow up smoothly.

In order to suppress the increasingly strong Kebineng, they had released their good will and tried to rope in the Pu Tou brothers. Only then did they bring the great army back to Tanhan Shan to pay respects to their father. But from the beginning to the end, they had never given up on taking revenge for their father. Not only did they not accept and try to rope him in, they had even gotten closer and closer to Kebineng.

Bu Dugen finished half a bowl of the strong wine in one breath, exhaled a long breath, and looked at Kebineng: "I wonder how is Su Li's situation? It is possible that Lian Lian and Gongsun Zan have already reached a secret agreement, if Su Li drags it out for too long, Lian Lian will probably stop caring about us and intervene!

Kebineng said with a relaxed expression: "According to the reports of the scouts, Gongsun Xu only brought three thousand plus people, but Su Li brought five thousand warriors. They should be able to smoothly block Gongsun Xu from the mountain."

Bu Dugen said with a cold smile: "I wonder what kind of face you will have after you find out the news in succession?"

Kebineng laughed, with a complacent look on his face, Su Li led the troops to stop Gongsun Xu, as per his orders. This time, he brought a total of forty thousand people with him, which made up eighty percent of the power he had in his hands. The number of people had doubled as well, and adding Bu Dugen and Su Li's thirty thousand people, there was a total of seventy thousand troops under his command. However, Kebineng still felt that something big was going to happen this time. When he found out that Gongsun Xu was going to lead his army to watch the Rites of Heavenly Worship, he suddenly felt that this was what he was worried about — — If he allied with Gongsun Zan, even if he, Su Li and Bu Dugen worked together to fight him, it would be very likely. Nine was not his opponent!

Because he knew that Gongsun Xu's trip was extremely important, Kebineng didn't care that he was in Tanhan Shan, the location of the Xianbei People's royal courtyard, and brazenly ordered for Su Li to go and intercept Gongsun Xu. However, he strictly ordered that Gongsun Xu's life was not to be harmed. Kebineng was the same as the Qiu Liju back then, he did not dare to completely infuriate Gongsun Zan.

There were two reasons why Kebineng would do so: Firstly, to properly intimidate Gongsun Xu, so that he would not dare to underestimate the three of them combined strength. This way, once and for all, if he and Lian Lian took action, Gongsun Xu would definitely consider whether or not he should help Lian Lian; secondly, this action was no different from slapping Lian Lian's face in front of everyone. According to He Lian's personality, it would only be normal if he acted in anger;

"How long has Su Li been gone for?" After the laughter stopped, Kebineng asked Bu Dugen.

"Roughly." Bu Dugen thought for a while, then laughed: "Roughly two hours have passed. Looking at the time, Gongsun Xu should have already arrived at the edge of the River Avenge. I wonder how that brat will take care of Su Li? "

"Do not underestimate that Gongsun Xu!" Kebineng said solemnly, "The so-called tiger father doesn't have a dog son. Before this, this king was a little curious, why is his son so unknown? Who would have thought that Gongsun Xu would suddenly soar to the sky in just a few months, and accomplish such a great thing! He had learned a whole set of skills in the Immortal's cave. Furthermore, it was said that when he announced that he would conduct military training in the White Horse Camp, an auspicious sign appeared in the army camp. It seemed that the encounter with the immortal was not empty. Acupoint. The wind is blowing! "

Bu Dugen frowned and sighed: "If it's really like that, Su Li is afraid."

"I don't think so!" Kebineng shook his head and said confidently: "Even if Gongsun Xu had truly learnt these skills from the gods, how could a trifling three-thousand people be able to fight against five thousand of my elites? As long as Su Li seals the pontoon bridge, Gongsun Xu would not do something like striking a stone with an egg! "

"Reporting to the King, there is an urgent military report ahead!" Just as Kebineng finished speaking, the panicked voice of a guard came out of the tent.

Kebineng was shocked, and immediately shouted: "Come in!"

"Reporting to the King, something terrible has happened!" A man covered in blood scurried in, upon seeing Kebineng he kneeled on the ground and shouted.

Kebineng looked carefully, and the person in front of him was one of Su Li's centurion. His heart skipped a beat, and he asked anxiously: "Quickly tell me! What happened? "

"Great King, Prince Zuo Xian went forward to stop Gongsun Xu, but unexpectedly, he was killed and fled in defeat, we have lost almost all of our five thousand men!"

"What?!" Kebineng suddenly stood up with a face full of shame and annoyance. Just as he was certain that Su Li would be fine, he received such a huge piece of bad news.

"Nonsense!" Bu Dugen berated loudly, but a trace of happiness flashed past his eyes, "Prince Zuo Xian is a brave warrior, and the five thousand warriors he brought along were all one in a hundred. How could they be annihilated by a mere three thousand? Liar, report the military intelligence, you deserve to be beheaded! "

"Damn it, I don't dare to lie!" There are still a few hundred people who managed to escape. The King and Prince Xian of the Right will know once they ask! "

Kebineng's body swayed, and he angrily shouted: "Is Su Li dead or alive?"

"Great King, Prince Zuo Xian was heavily injured and unconscious. He has been carried out of the account."

Kebineng groaned, he grabbed the white hat on his head and rushed out.

Bu Dugen looked at the centurion that was kneeling on the ground with disdain and quickly followed him out.

The ground outside the tent was covered with a thick woolen blanket, and Su Li laid on top of it with his back facing upward. His face was pale and his body twitched from time to time even in his sleep.

Kebineng was originally furious, but when he saw Su Li's miserable state, most of his anger instantly dissipated. He casually pulled over a Chieftain who had retreated in defeat, and asked his what had happened.

"My King, the armor of the Han is very strong, the arrows of my brothers are unable to penetrate, and Prince Zuo Xian suffered heavy injuries the moment we rushed out, we were immediately thrown into panic, then were surrounded by the Han people again. Of the five thousand brothers, only seven hundred of them came back! King, please send your men to avenge our fallen brothers! "

Kebineng snorted and pushed him to the ground, then shouted angrily: "There are only seven hundred people left out from five thousand, what face do you all have to come back? Someone, kill this cowardly bastard! "

"Mercy, my king!" Great King, please spare my life! "

Bu Dugen stepped forward and advised: "Your Majesty, now is not the time to look into the matter of defeat. Let's think about how we should face Gongsun Xu and his company!"

Kebineng had no choice but to give Bu Dugen face and shouted, "You may pardon the death sentence, but the crime of living is unavoidable! Take note of the fifty whips for now! This king asks you, where is Gongsun Xu now? "

"This lowly general does not know!" The Chieftain lowered his head in shame.

"Trash!" Kebineng kicked the Chieftain and shouted: "Men, quickly go and find Gongsun Xu!"

Just as a few elites were about to get on their horses and leave, a person in front suddenly ran over and shouted from afar, "Reporting to the King, Gongsun Xu has brought troops over!"

"What!?" Not to mention the surrounding Xianbei People s who could not believe their ears, even Kebineng and Bu Dugen could not believe that Gongsun Xu would dare to use more than three thousand people to attack sixty to seventy thousand people?

"Gongsun Xu is going too far!" Bu Dugen roared, he bowed and requested for Kebineng's battle, "I plead for your majesty to allow me to lead the army to fight, I will capture that arrogant brat alive and present it to you!"

"You can't fight!" Kebineng suddenly calmed down, shook his head and rejected Bu Dugen. He tidied up his armor, and said while walking: "Go with this king to meet that Gongsun Xu!"

"What?" Bu Dugen was shocked, and frowned: It's fine if the King doesn't send troops to take revenge, but why does he have to personally go see that child?

"Why?" Kebineng laughed coldly, and asked in reply: "Bu Dugen, why are you so daring?" Without waiting for Bu Dugen's answer, he answered it himself, "Because this is not our territory, but the Tanhan Shan!"

Bu Dugen calmed down upon hearing this, that's right, this is the Tanhan Shan! Once he started to fight with Gongsun Xu, how could he and his company just sit and watch? At that time, all of the crimes would be pushed onto Kebineng and him, and it would be the right and proper decision for Lian Lian to lead his army to kill Kebineng and himself!

"You've figured it out?" Kebineng asked with a cold smile.

"Yes!" "The King is indeed wise and farsighted." Bu Dugen nodded his head, completely convinced.

"Let's go, let's take a look at that Gongsun Xu and see how he looks like!"

"Here!"
