Chapter 263

"Bullshit!" Tie Shitou gave a roar of anger: "You could have such a kind heart, to adopt Han children?"

Since the rise of Tanshihuai, the Xianbei have been plundering the borders of the Great Han for over thirty years.

In these thirty years, how many Han people have died under the blades of the Xianbei.

The two races are enemies.

And Kuitou, as the Chanyu of the Xianbei, how could he have the kind heart to adopt Han children?

This was simply impossible.

Tie Shitou didn't believe it, and naturally, Duan Yu didn't believe it either.

"Big Brother Duan."

"Big Brother Duan!"

The brothers Zhang Liao and Zhang Xun came from the riverbank to greet Duan Yu.

The brothers Wang Rou and Wang Ze were also being escorted, and everyone was ready to retreat at any time.

"Big Brother Duan, the Xianbei people downstream have already crossed the river; we should retreat!" Zhang Liao said urgently.

Duan Yu's gaze looked toward the downstream of the Shuochou River.

Several li downstream from this ferry crossing point, there was another ferry crossing point.

If they didn't leave now, those Xianbei people crossing the river downstream might very well drag them here.

By then, when more and more Xianbei people crossed the river, it wouldn't be so easy for them to leave if they wanted to.

"Put down my A-Gan, otherwise, I will kill them!"

On the north bank of the Shuochou River, Budugen shouted loudly: "Release my A-Gan, otherwise I will kill these Han people."

"Aren't you a general of the Han people? I can give them to you, but you must release my A-Gan."

"Otherwise, I, Budugen, swear that I will definitely kill all the Han people here!"

Budugen.

Another familiar name.

Duan Yu's eyes narrowed.

Exchange hostages?

A glimmer of hope for life instantly appeared in Kuitou's eyes.

However, Wang Rou, who was standing to the side bound with ropes, looked at Kuitou and sneered: "Naive."

"Doesn't your brother know what kind of benefits he would get if he sent you to Luoyang?"

"You are the Chanyu of the Xianbei; if you are captured and taken to Luoyang, it would be enough to exchange for a Marquis within the Passes!"

"Using you to exchange for the lives of over a hundred Han people?"

As soon as Wang Rou's words fell.

The gazes of everyone around turned to Duan Yu.

Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Zhang Xun, Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, and Chen Qing'an.

Marquis within the Passes.

Not to mention a Marquis within the Passes.

Even if it were just a Township Marquis or a County Marquis, that was still a noble title.

Although the Xianbei were now divided, Kuitou was still the nominal Great Chanyu of the Xianbei.

The Chanyu of all the Xianbei tribes.

If Kuitou were sent to Luoyang, this would definitely be the greatest achievement in thirty years.

Since the rise of Tanshihuai, the Xianbei have been invading the borders of the Great Han for over thirty years.

From the initial rejection of the imperial court's marriage alliance, to the rejection of the title of King, and then the several defeats and heavy losses in attacking the Xianbei.

If Duan Yu captured the Chanyu of the Xianbei alive this time, what kind of merit would that be?

The wealth and rewards that would reach the heavens certainly didn't need to be mentioned.

But these words of Wang Rou were not out of kindness.

In reality, it was to strike at the heart!

Wang Rou first stated the importance of Kuitou and the merit that could be exchanged.

Then he described the insignificance of the hundred or so Han children, boys and girls, on the opposite bank.

These words were spoken for Tie Shitou, for Zhang Liao, for Zhang Xun, and for all the Han people here to hear.

But if Duan Yu didn't exchange, then he would be disregarding the lives of over a hundred people.

If this kind of thing hadn't been said, everyone would have tacitly understood.

The lives of over a hundred Han people.

The honor and merit that a Great Chanyu of the Xianbei could exchange for.

It seemed that everyone in the world knew how to choose and how they should choose.

But Wang Rou saying this was equivalent to putting Duan Yu on a fire to roast.

Such a simple principle, let alone Zhang Liao and the others, even Tie Shitou understood it.

"You dog, does my Big Brother Duan need you to teach him how to do things? Shut your mouth for me, this is no place for you to speak!" Tie Shitou stepped forward to strike.

The triumphant Wang Rou didn't care and just looked at Duan Yu with a sneer.

The meaning was very clear: although I can't do anything to you, I still want to disgust you.

"Big Brother Duan..." Zhang Liao looked at Duan Yu: "The Xianbei pursuers..."

Duan Yu took a deep breath.

Just when everyone thought Duan Yu was going to order a retreat.

Duan Yu laughed instead.

He looked at Wang Rou and laughed.

With this laugh from Duan Yu, Wang Rou was also confused.

What is Duan Yu going to do? ===== CHAPTER 265 =====
