So he treated Xie Gui Ni kindly just to make his tribe return to their hearts. He would only wait for a long time and then slowly merge them.

And when he saw that Xie Gui Ni Ling's tribe had returned to him, they were usually obedient, but Ke Bi Neng could only use it as a trick.

So when he learned the news that Xie Guini and his people were fleeing to the west and wanted to return to Budugen, it was like being hit on the head by a muffled thunder, and stars appeared in front of his eyes.

 “Escaped? How could you escape?!”

Kebi Neng grabbed the felt hat on his head and smashed it out, revealing a head full of pigtails.

He was so furious that his braided hair flew up, like a nest of snakes dancing in the air.

 It’s just that he can be regarded as the hero of the party after all. Although he is furious, he can still calm down quickly:

“Have you found out which way he escaped?”

 “Your Majesty, we have found out clearly.”

“Immediately summon all the elite cavalry from our headquarters to follow me in pursuit of the thief!” Kebi Neng gritted his teeth and said, “If I capture the young Xie Gui Ni, I will take his head and make a bone cup!”

 Wang Xiong of Youzhou had already sent out scouting horses, always paying attention to the news in the north.

When Tan Ma reported that the Hu people outside the Great Wall were moving to the west, he couldn't help but clasped his hands and laughed:

 “My plan has come true!”

Happily, Wang Xiong ordered again:

 “Come, please take my invitation and invite Han Long.”

Without Han Long's advance notification, I'm afraid I would have been passive this time.

Unexpectedly, when the servants sent out came back, they reported a piece of news to Wang Xiong that surprised him:

“Returning to the envoy, Han Zhuangshi has left Youzhou!”

 “Do you know where you are going?”

“I heard from the villagers that they might go to Bingzhou, Guanzhong, or even Liangzhou, mostly to places where barbarians gather and heroes hang out.”

Wang Xiong was not surprised when he heard this, he just sighed and said:

"What a pity that a strong man like Han Qianyong is not of use to me..."

In September of the 10th year of Jianxing, Kebi Neng defected due to Xie Guini's defection. Not only did Kebi Neng's plan to conquer Xianbei in Liaodong to strengthen his army failed, he also failed.

Moreover, Xie Gui Ni took away many tribesmen, and the Kebineng tribe was weakened.

A letter solved the immediate problem of Kebineng, and Wang Xiong led the Youzhou soldiers and horses that had been gathered to prepare to march to Liaodong.

Unexpectedly, God was not kind, and news soon came from the front: heavy rains fell continuously in the autumn of Liaodong, making the roads muddy and difficult to navigate, and the Liao River surged, making it impossible to cross the water.

Wang Xiong had no choice but to slow down his journey and sent people to Qingzhou to inquire about the situation of Tian Yu who was taking the sea route.

Who would have known that things were not going well for Tian Yu either.

Qingzhou originally had a governor, Xiahou Mao, but the three Xiahou families of Cao and Wei were all tabooed by Cao Rui, so now Xiahou Mao has been recalled to Luoyang.

 Tian Yu was originally excluded from Youzhou by Wang Xiong, so he had no choice but to serve as the governor of Runan.

Now Cao Rui has asked Tian Yu to control the Qingzhou armies as the governor, and he is using the small to control the big. How can he convince the big guys in Qingzhou?

 Especially Cheng Xi, the governor of Qingzhou, felt even more indignant.

After Tian Yu led the army to Qingzhou, he could only order the troops from Runan he had brought over.

Under the instigation of Cheng Xi, the Qingzhou armies mostly disobeyed Tian Yu's military orders and acted slowly.

  Qingzhou, which is now part of Shandong Province, is originally a coastal area. Logically speaking, the boats should have been prepared long ago.

 However, due to Cheng Xi's secret obstruction, Tian Yu delayed it for a whole month before he was ready.

 And it was only at this time that he discovered that the sea at this time was very windy and rough, making it impossible to cross the sea.

 The news that it was not possible for Qingzhou to go to Liaodong reached Cao Rui's ears at the same time. After confirming the actual difficulties, Cao Rui had no choice but to issue an edict to suspend the expedition to Liaodong.

Of course, Wei’s first expedition to Liao had a beginning and an end, and it was not completely fruitless.

 At least we know the difficulties of conquering Liao and what preparations need to be made.

 At Chengshan Mountain in Qingzhou, a veteran with white hair and beard was looking into the distance.

 Chengshan, also known as "Chaowu".

 The First Emperor came here during his eastward tour. He stopped in the mountains and looked at the East China Sea. In a trance, he saw the legendary fairy mountain, which was later called "the end of the sky."

This mountain is surrounded by the coast on three sides and land on one side, facing Liaodong across the sea.

 It is most convenient to take a boat to Liaodong from here.

 Emperor Wu of the Later Han Dynasty built a Louguan in Chengshan to facilitate viewing of the sea.

 The old general is now standing on the tower, looking around the mountain.

 A middle-aged man stood behind him and asked:

“Sir, Your Majesty has ordered us to suspend the expedition against Liao. What are we still doing here? Why not return to Runan?”

While he was supporting his master, he had a look of injustice on his face and angrily in his tone:

"Staying here is a waste of people's anger. If it weren't for the talisman given by your majesty, we might not even be able to get enough food and grass for our own army!"

The old general is Tian Yu, the governor of Runan, and the middle-aged man behind him is his son Tian Pengzu.

Hearing his son’s words, Tian Yu did not look back, but just smiled lightly:

“I am the governor of Runan in Yuzhou and supervise the army in Qingzhou. It is normal for the generals in the army to disobey me.”

“Kuang’s army prioritizes military success, but now that I have led all the armies with no success, I’m afraid everyone will laugh at me now.”

Tian Pengzu then asked again: "Then why do you still stay here? Why don't you go back as soon as possible?"

Tian Yu still didn’t answer. He just smiled, but his expression became calmer.

 He pointed to the sea opposite and asked:

 “Do you know where the other side is?”

Tian Pengzu replied without hesitation: "It's Liaodong."

He looked in the direction pointed by his master, and saw the foggy sea surface, and the high waves, like monsters, pounding against the rocks tirelessly.

Even standing on a mountain of towers, one can hear the deafening sound like the beating of bells and drums.

The strong sea breeze blew, causing him to reach out his hand again, trying to support his master.

The wind and waves are so high that if we really dare to cross the sea to conquer Liaodong at this time, we are afraid that we will not see Liaodong and feed the fish in the sea first.

“Yes, the wind is strong and the waves are so high, even if the Wu people are good at boats, they may not be able to sail safely on the sea, right?”

 Speaking of this, Tian Yu’s eyes became more and more profound:
Chapter completed!
