Looking back at the northern foot of Jinwei Mountain, I felt desolate when I looked back.

The prairie once was no longer his home. He was like a betrayal dog, driven out of his home by Liu Bian all the way to the unknown West.

He didn't know if he would have a chance to come back in his lifetime. Liu Bian was younger and stronger than him. In the face of such an opponent, he had no chance to turn defeat into victory.

He Lian suddenly felt a little regretful. If he had not read the poems and books of the Han people, there might not have been so much sadness at this moment. The Xianbei people are a nation on horseback. This place was not their home originally. They came from the distant snow-capped mountains, and living by water and grass was their life. The feeling of leaving home is redundant and harmful.

"Let's go." He Lian turned his head, ordered the iron wolf, waved his whip, and rode his horse forward.

"Masterman." Tielang suddenly shouted: "Look, it seems to be from the Red Sun Tribe."

He Lian looked in the direction pointed by the Iron Wolf and saw a small group of people standing on the hillside in the distance, with one of them holding a big flag in the middle. There was no wind, and the flag was low, so He Lian couldn't tell which tribe it was. However, he believed that the Iron Wolf had the eyesight of the Legend of the Condor Heroes was not comparable to ordinary people, and Iron Wolf rarely said something unsure of it.

He Lian's heart was raised. "Luo Jianluo defeated Yang Feng, ready to intercept us?"

The iron wolf frowned and pondered for a moment: "It doesn't look like it. They are very weak, like a lone wolf with long wind legs." He urged his mount to ride. "I'll go and see."

He Lian didn't say anything, staring at the people in the distance, thinking about various possibilities. At the same time, he ordered his subordinates to be on guard. He knew that Luoluo Gangluo was going to chase Yang Feng, and he didn't know who won or lost. With Luoluo Gangluo's personality, if he defeated Yang Feng, there was a possibility of turning back and intercepting him.

While waiting nervously, the iron wolf rode his horse back again, walked to He Lian, and said with complicated eyes: "Master, Luo Luo, Jian Luo Luo was defeated by Yang Feng, and his baggage was completely lost. He wanted to travel west with the Master, and wanted to ask the Master for his opinion."

He Lian was stunned for a while and didn't say anything. He knew very well how strong the Red Ridge tribe is. He knew very well. He knew very well how conceited Luo Zhi Luo was, and he also knew very well. Luo Luo Jian Luo was defeated by Yang Feng and wanted to travel west. He Lian felt incredible, and his first feeling was that this might be a conspiracy.

"Yang Feng only has four or five thousand people. Both sides have equal strength. Even if he loses, he will not lose too badly. How could he..."

"Yang Feng is also a god-level general. He has at least two powerful generals under his command who have enlightened his life." Tielang understood He Lian's thoughts and immediately said: "Luo Luo Jiandi Ao was killed by Yang Feng's formation, and all his supplies were taken away. In addition, Yang Feng had three hundred dragon cavalry around him, and it seemed that he was protecting a young woman. That woman had a snow wolf and a divine eagle, which was probably the eagle we saw."

He Lian took a breath: "The eagle was following a woman, not Liu Bian himself?"

Iron Wolf nodded.

He Lian was stunned for a while, both fortunate and afraid. Fortunately, Liu Bian was not in front of him. He was always worried that Liu Bian would cut off his journey to the west and kill him. He was afraid that Liu Bian had never left the vicinity of Jiluoshan. If he had been late for a few days and had a loss with Dong Zhuo, Liu Bian might have suddenly come out.

"Go and tell them, let Luo Zhiluo come to see me."

Iron Wolf took the order and after another half a day, Luo Zhi Qi Luoluo appeared on the hillside with more than a dozen guards. He Lian didn't say a word, but also brought more than a dozen guards from Xuanwu Camp to rush over. Seeing this scene, Luo Zhi Qi Luoluo breathed a sigh of relief, rode his horse down the hillside, and met He Lian outside the open space.

Before Luo was able to speak, He Lian asked with concern: "Master, what's going on?"

Luo Zhijian Luoluo sighed and said the story of the war, which specifically explained the incident of Yang Fengwuming and the Dragon Cavalry breaking the formation. He Lian listened quietly and nodded at the end: "How can you sleep peacefully with such a powerful enemy? Grandmaster, you now understand my difficulties."

Luo Zhiluo said ashamedly: "Yes, it's a pity that it's too late. If we had heard of you, we might have the power to fight, but now they have been defeated by them, even if we want to join forces, we wouldn't have the strength to do so."

"The Han people have a saying: First, we must first calm the country when fighting foreign countries. It is because of our disagreement that the Han people seized the opportunity. General, if you are willing to travel west, I will certainly beg for it. However, although there are no strong enemies like Liu Bian on the way to travel west, it is not smooth all the way, if..."

Luo Zhiluo immediately understood. His strength was greatly reduced and he was no match for Helian now. If he did not surrender to Helian, Helian might eat him directly. In order to survive, he quickly said, "Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will support you. You read a lot and understand a lot of principles. I am a rough man. If you do something wrong, don't worry about it."

He smiled with Lian. Luo Luo is a hero on the grassland after all, he is very clear about the situation in front of him and makes the wisest choice.

...

The western foot of Yanran Mountain.

Liu Bian sat on the beast, looking at the battlefield surrounded by fireworks, his eyes were calm, as if there was no wave in the ancient well.

He was already used to this kind of scene without any surprise.

Hua Xiong, Tian Jinjiang and others defeated the Kuangsha tribe and fought against the Luji deduction and fled in panic. There was no Xianbei tribe east of Jinwei Mountain that could compete with the Han army. The grassland had become the grassland of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bian called Yu Hong.

"Yuan Hu, thank you for your hard work to chase Helian."

"Your Majesty has a destiny, and I am honored to me. I don't know what to say after seeing Helian."

"Let him go a little further and don't always sway in front of me. Otherwise, I will make him unable to live in peace." Liu Bian smiled. "That's what it means. You should consider the problem yourself. I believe you will not let He Lian down."

Yu Hong was very excited. Liu Bian's words were a great compliment to him. Last time he persuaded Queju to surrender, he was promoted from an ordinary guard to a captain, and this time he was promoted again, and his future career would be bright.

"only!"

"After meeting the company, don't rush back, and go to the Western Regions to take a look."

"Yi!" Yu Hong took the order and turned around and left.

"Your Majesty wants to conquer the Western Regions?" Xun Yu frowned slightly and said worriedly: "Shandong has not yet settled, Your Majesty has not walked far."

"Just make some preparations in advance." Liu Bian said carelessly: "Only by knowing your enemy and knowing yourself, you can never be defeated in a hundred battles. I drove the hungry wolf of Helian to the Western Regions, not to let him gain a foothold in the Western Regions. If the countries of the Western Regions are too weak, wouldn't it be cheaper for Helian?"

Xun Yu understood it. "When the countries in the Western Regions were invaded by Helian, they would inevitably ask Liangzhou for help. In this way, Your Majesty could order the generals who conquered the Western Regions to send troops and re-enter the Western Regions."

Liu Bian smiled and said, "Aren't you just worried that I would consume too much in my personal envoy? But look, how much does Dong Zhuo have in my entourage? He also carried a couch and a wine with him. I didn't even have that. What are you worried about?"

Xun Yu smiled awkwardly and bowed his hand and said, "Your Majesty's frugality, I can see clearly. But can Your Majesty guarantee that the successor can be as frugal as Your Majesty? Once someone wants to follow King Mu of Zhou and travel the world, this journey of thousands of miles is not a small matter. Your Majesty, national affairs are like planting trees, with solid roots and last birth, deep roots and lush leaves. Your Majesty's roots are in the Central Plains, and Your Majesty's foundation is in the Han Dynasty, so why should you spend your energy on these wild places?"

"How can I resist the enemy outside the country's gate without a barbaric land?" Liu Bian turned the beast and walked slowly. "Someone suggested abandoning Liangzhou. That's what Yu Xu said. If you abandon Liangzhou, Guanzhong will become a border. How can you farm with peace of mind? I took the grassland and drove away the Xianbei people, and I hope that the three states of You and Liang can stabilize production and no longer be affected by military disasters."

"Your Majesty is wise. Now the Xianbei people have become dogs that have lost their families. If you cannot be affected by the Han territory, then your Majesty should be triumphant."

"Triumph?" Liu Bian pondered for a moment, raised his head, stared at the horizon, and shook his head: "No, I have more important things to do."

Xun Yu frowned: "The country cannot be without a king for a day. Your Majesty does not return to the Central Plains. How can you pacify the world? What important things are more important than the world?"

"A century-old plan, long-term stability." Liu Bian turned his head and smiled slightly. "If I can't find the true secret of dragons and phoenixes, even if I can live for a hundred years, what can I do after a hundred years? Xun Yu, you cannot put all your hopes on me alone, and you should look at the long-term. You are the leader of the Confucian Sect. The Confucian Sect does not rely on heaven, but on the power of man. This is good. You should also think more about how to exert more people's power to achieve peace in the world, rather than relying on which wise king or famous minister."

"The power of human beings?" Xun Yu's heart moved, thinking. He pondered for a moment: "Does Your Majesty want to hand over the pacification of Shandong to King Chenliu?"

"I only have such a younger brother and have no offspring. Who else can I count on if I don't expect him?" Liu Bian smiled bitterly: "He did not handle the matter of dissection of Gun and Wu Dao well enough, and I am very dissatisfied with the responsibility of a king of a country. However, after all, he is still a child, and I cannot be too demanding of him. I want to give him another chance. If he can attract a lesson, I can rest assured. If he is still so weak, I have to choose another crown prince."

Xun Yu looked at Liu Bian with a bit of admiration and sympathy. Liu Bian was strong and could dominate the world, but what could he do? He would die in the end. If he had no descendants, even if he conquered the whole world, no one could inherit it. He would eventually have to hand it over to others. Perhaps because of this, he was willing to give the Confucian school a chance and Liu Xie a chance.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go back to the Central Plains and pick up the remains and make up for the treasures next to King Chenliu."

Liu Bian looked at Xun Yu and remained silent.

Xun Yu bowed and bowed: "Your Majesty, Yu is not sensitive, but he may be the one who knows Your Majesty the best. I hope to do my best to your Majesty's century-long plan."

Liu Bian thought about it and chuckled: "Okay." (To be continued...)
