C68 Foresight Specific Energy

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 deer, while Great King of Xianbei's standard had nine prongs on his double-horned deer.

Inside the milky white tent, Kebineng was sitting opposite Bu Dugen and drinking wine. Both of them had a serious expression.

Kebineng was eight feet tall, with a face as thin as a horse. He had two long moustaches, a high nose bridge, and deep-set eyes. He wore two golden rings as thick as the mouth of a teacup on his ears. In the eyes of the Han people, the long and thin horse face was extremely ugly, but the worshipped the horse and deer as their totem, and they treated horses as their beauties. Therefore, Kebineng had the reputation of being 'pretty' in the Xianbei People. This man fought valiantly, dealt with matters impartially and did not harm fresh citizens. He was highly respected by the Xianbei People, and thus, he was able to progress from the leader of a small tribe to the highest position amongst the inferior little kings.

Bu Dugenguo had a thick eyebrows, big eyes, a sunken nose, and a thick beard. Compared to Su Li, Bu Dugen and Kebineng had a cooperative relationship, not a subordinate relationship. Therefore, when the two of them talked together, Kebineng was very polite.

Unlike Kebineng who came from a small tribe, Bu Dugen was a direct descendant of Tan Shihuai's clan. His father was Tan Shihuai's nephew. Bu Dugen's father was not spared when he and his elder brother Pu Tou happened to go to Pingzhou, lucky to escape a calamity.

Since then, Pu Tou and Bu Dugen had stayed more than four hundred miles away from the state of Diao Shan, where they stayed with their tribesmen (Tan Shihuai had assigned his son and nephew, Pu Tou and Bu Dugen's father, to Diao Shan and the surrounding two hundred miles). He hurriedly cleaned up the internal rebellion, did not have the time to cut off its roots, suppressed the internal rebellion and after that, suffered a great loss of strength, he simply did not have the ability to dispatch an army to attack Xushan, allowing the Liu brothers to grow up smoothly.

A few years ago, in order to suppress Kebineng, who was getting stronger and stronger, they released their good will and tried to rope in the Pu Tou brothers. Only then did they bring the army back to Tanhan Shan to pay respects to their father. But from the beginning to the end, they never gave up on taking revenge for their father. Not only did they not accept the roping in of Kebineng, they even got closer to him.

In one breath, Bu Dugen drank half a cup of strong liquor and let out a long breath. He looked at Liu Tie and asked, "I wonder how is the situation with Sun Tie?" "He Lian and Gongsun Zan might have already reached some sort of secret agreement. If Sun Tie dragged it out for too long, I'm afraid that He Lian would no longer be worried about us interfering!"

Kebineng said with a relaxed expression, "According to the report of the scouts, Gongsun Xu only brought around three thousand men while Liu Tie brought a total of five thousand warriors. They should be able to successfully block Gongsun Xu at the foot of the mountain."

Bu Dugen sneered, "I wonder what kind of reputation He Lian will have after hearing the news?"

Kebineng laughed heartily with a complacent look on his face. It was under his command that Zhou Tie led the troops to intercept Gongsun Xu. This time, he brought a total of forty thousand men with him, representing eighty percent of his power. The number of people was even twice that of the past, and in addition to the thirty thousand men from Bu Dugen and Zhou Tie, there was a total of seventy thousand men under his command. He had a feeling that something big was going to happen this time. When he found out that Gongsun Xu was going to lead his army to visit the Rites of Heavenly Worship, he suddenly felt that this was what he was worried about — if he allied with Gongsun Zan, the tyrant of the Northern Territories, even if he, Su Li and Bu Dugen were to work together to fight him, it would be eighty percent of the time. Nine was not his opponent!

It was because he knew that Gongsun Xu's trip was extremely important that Kebineng did not care that this was the Tanhan Shan, the place where the Xianbei People's Wang Ting resided. He brazenly ordered Su Li to intercept Gongsun Xu, but strictly ordered him not to hurt Gongsun Xu's life. Kebineng was the same as Qiu Liju, he did not dare to completely anger Gongsun Zan.

There were two reasons why Kebineng did this: Firstly, give Gongsun Xu a good scare, so that Gongsun Xu wouldn't dare to underestimate their combined strength. This way, once and for all, Gongsun Xu would be worried about the safety of himself and his men, and seriously consider whether or not to help He Lian; secondly, this action was no different from publicly hitting He Lian's face. According to He Lian's personality, it would be normal for him to be furious.

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

"Probably." Bu Dugen pondered for a while, then said with a smile, "About two hours have passed. Judging by the time, Gongsun Xu should have arrived at the shore of the river of Enmity. I wonder how that brat will deal with Su Li? "

"Don't underestimate Gongsun Xu!" Kebineng said solemnly, "This so-called tiger father doesn't have a dog son. Before this, this king was a little curious, but why is his son so unknown? Who would have thought that Gongsun Xu would suddenly become a celebrity in just a few months and do 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 that's the case, I'm afraid Su Li …"

"I don't think so!" Kebineng shook his head and said confidently, "Even if Gongsun Xu has learnt the skill from the gods, how can more than 3000 people be able to beat my 5000 elites? As long as Su Li blocks off the pontoon bridge, Gongsun Xu probably won't do something like an egg hitting a stone! "

"Reporting to the King, there is an urgent military report ahead!" The moment Kebineng finished, the flustered voice of a guard came from outside the tent.

Kebineng was shocked and quickly shouted, "Come in!"

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

Kebineng looked closely and saw that it was centurion, one of Su Li's men. His heart skipped a beat and asked anxiously: "Tell me! What happened? "

"Great King, Prince Zuo Xian went to stop Gongsun Xu, but unexpectedly, he was defeated and ran away. We 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 sure that Su Li would be fine, he received such a bad news.

"Nonsense!" Bu Dugen scolded loudly, but a hint of joy flashed past his eyes, "Prince Zuo Xian is a brave warrior, and the five thousand warriors he brought were all one in a hundred. How could he be wiped out 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 shook as he shouted in anger, "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 a red felt hat with a white border hanging on the wall, put it on his head and rushed out in big steps.

Bu Dugen glanced at centurion, who was kneeling on the ground, and quickly followed him out.

The ground outside the tent was covered with a thick wool carpet. Su Li lied on top of it with his back facing the sky. The blood that flowed from his body made the felt red and white. His face was pale and his body twitched from time to time even in his sleep.

Kebineng's anger had originally reached the sky. When he saw Su Li's miserable state, most of his anger disappeared. He then pulled over Chieftain, who had been defeated and retreated, and asked him what had happened.

"My King, the armor of the Chinese is very strong, our arrows cannot penetrate it, and Prince Zuo Xian was severely injured right after he rushed out. We fell into a panic and were surrounded by more Chinese people. Of the five thousand brothers, only seven hundred came back!" King, please send your men to avenge our fallen brothers! "

Kebineng grunted and pushed the man to the ground. He shouted angrily, "There are only seven hundred people left in the five thousand. How can you all return with dignity? Someone, kill this cowardly bastard! "

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

Bu Dugen stepped forward and advised, "King, now is not the time to pursue the responsibility of defeat. It's better to think of how to face Gongsun Xu and his company!"

Kebineng had no choice but to give Bu Dugen face, and shouted, "You can pardon the death sentence, but the punishment is inevitable! Take note of the fifty whips for now! This King asks you, then where is Gongsun Xu now? "

"I don't know." Chieftain lowered his head in shame. He was too focused on escaping that he didn't even have time to pay attention to this.

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

A few elite scouts got on their horses and were about to leave when a person in front ran over and shouted from afar, "Reporting to the King, Gongsun Xu is here with his men!"

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

"Gongsun Xu has gone too far!" Bu Dugen roared and bowed towards Kebineng, "Great King, please allow me to lead the army to battle. I will capture that arrogant kid alive and present him to the Great King!"

"You can't fight!" Kebineng suddenly calmed down. He shook his head and refused Bu Dugen. He tidied up his armor and walked forward while saying, "Follow This King to meet Gongsun Xu!"

"What?" Bu Dugen was shocked. He frowned and said, "It's fine if the King doesn't send troops to take revenge, but why did he personally go see that kid?"

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

Hearing that, Bu Dugen immediately calmed down. That's right, this was the Tanhan Shan! Once he started to fight with Gongsun Xu, how could he just sit there and watch? When that time came, all the blame would be placed on Kebineng and himself, and the company would logically lead an army to attack 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 in admiration.

"Let's go and see what that Gongsun Xu looks like!"

"Here!"
