Chapter 900: A Heaven-Sent Opportunity
Mao Dun's expression changed, and a chill rose from his back, hitting his whole body, and he couldn't help but shiver. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
He knew that Yelu Abaoji was going to take his life.
He had to pull out the scimitar from his waist and try to make a last resistance, how could he drink too much, his whole body was so drunk and weak that he couldn't even stand steadily, let alone carry a knife to fight a powerful general like Jeruxiugo.
What's more, there is still a group of Khitan warriors standing in front of the door, and there are thousands outside, even if he can beat Yelu Huge, he will not escape death.
"Abaoji, I didn't expect you to have such great ambitions, you want to take the position of Ben Dan Yu, do you think you can succeed with your Khitan department, you dare to kill Ben Dan Yu, there are tens of thousands of iron horsemen outside, and you can destroy your Khitan department in a blink of an eye."
Maudun retreated, spitting stars as he warned of the threat to Yelu Abaoji.
Yelu Abaoji sneered: "Do you think that my Abaoji is so reckless that I dare to kill you if I don't do anything, I might as well tell you, I have been secretly planning for a long time, the Yuwen Department, the Duan Department, and even the Murong Department have all expressed their support for me to sit in the position of Da Danyu, you are already a traitor, and you have long been abandoned by the ministries." ”
Mao Dun's expression was shocked again, and then he suddenly remembered that it seemed that several major tribes such as the Yuwen Department and the Duan Department had only sent some soldiers and horses this time, and the big leader of the headquarters was also the same as Yelu Abaoji, who did not invade Wei with the army in the south, and it seemed that these guys were indeed secretly plotting.
Thinking of Murong Trai again, after the defeat and retreat, he led his troops to separate from the large army without authorization and went to the west, and it is very likely that he also secretly colluded with Yelu Abaoji.
At this moment, Mao Dun suddenly felt helpless, and unknowingly, he fell into the point of betrayal.
"Why, why did you betray me, why did you betray me!?" Angry and painful, he yelled.
"Why? You still don't understand? ”
Brother Yelu Xiu, who stepped forward with a knife, said coldly: "How powerful my Da Xianbei is, but you bow your knees to Liu Bei and pay tribute every year, making me Da Xianbei humiliated." Over the years, you have responded to Liu Bei, invaded Wei several times, how many Xianbei Erlang died, how many war horses, cattle and sheep have been lost, and you have never gained anything. ”
Mao Dun was speechless when questioned, his face was ashamed, and he didn't realize that he had retreated to the corner, and there was no way to retreat.
At this time, Yelu Abaoji stood up and said confidently: "Tuoba Hong, Da Xianbei doesn't need you anymore, you can die with peace of mind, I, Yelu Abao, have the opportunity to take over your Da Dan Yu's position, I swear to lead my Da Xianbei to become strong, one day, I will not only annex the Han State, but also herd the Wei State, and put the entire Central Plains under my Da Xianbei iron horse, so that all the Central Plains people will become the slaves of our Xianbei warriors!" ”
After the proud declaration, Yelu Abaoji waved his hand at Yelu Huge.
Without hesitation, Jeruxiugo raised his scimitar high and slashed at Maudun.
"Yelu Abaoji—"
A long hiss of grief and resentment erupted from Maudun's mouth, blood splattered out, and a human head rolled to the ground.
The moment he saw Mao Dun's head hit the ground, Yelu Abaoji exhaled lightly, and his eyes showed a hint of relieved pleasure.
"Are all the leaders outside who are loyal to Tuoba Hong under control?" Yelu Abao asked.
Yelu Hugo nodded and said, "I have drunk them all, and I can easily solve them with just a word from the big leader." ”
"If you want to cut the grass and remove the roots, kill them all, and leave no one behind!" Yelu Abaoji raised his hand and made a head-killing motion.
Jeruhugo understood, took the blood-dripping scimitar, and strode out.
At this time, footsteps sounded, and a person transferred out of the back tent, bowed his hand to Yelu Abaoji, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the big boss for winning the position of Da Danyu." ”
"Yelu Chucai, if it weren't for your clever plan, how could I easily kill Mao Dun and kill those tribal leaders who were loyal to him." Yelu Abaoji smiled approvingly.
The Khitan people who seem to be polite and polite, with a bit of Han humanities, are Yelu Chucai.
Yelu Chucai smiled faintly: "The Xianbei tribes have long complained about Mao Dun, and now he has returned defeated, and it is a certainty that he will be taken by the big head and replaced, Chu Cai is just a little trick to shorten the time of this process." ”
Yelu Abaoji smiled, but said: "The tribal leaders loyal to Maodun have been destroyed, and the tribes will inevitably have no leader, what I have to do next is just to conquer them one by one, only that Murong Trai did not make it clear that he would support me, and the Murong Department is a large part, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult to conquer." ”
Yelu Chucai stroked his beard and said lightly: "Although Murong Chui is ambitious, but this person is also the best at seeing the wind and steering, as long as the big leader conquers most of the Xianbei tribes, he will definitely pretend to take the initiative to surrender at that time, and the big leader can take advantage of the situation to crown him as the acting king, let him go to guard the Wuyuan Shuo Fang, use him to guard against the Wei State, and use the Wei State to weaken his Murong Department, and when the time is ripe, it is not too late to swallow him completely." ”
"Your method is very much to my taste." Yelu Abaoji nodded again and again, but frowned again, "It's just that this generation of kings is on an equal footing with me in the name of Da Dan Yu, and it seems that something is wrong if I make him the acting king." ”
Yelu Chucai's expression suddenly became solemn, and he said: "Since the big leader has unified the Xianbei tribes, what else is there to do, directly imitate the Central Plains country, and call the emperor is, and then Feng Murong Chui will be a acting king, what is there to say." ”
Called the emperor!
Yelu Abaoji's expression changed, and his eyes burst out with a hint of surprise, obviously Yelu Chucai's words were mentioned to him for the first time, and they were not expected by him.
Yelu Chucai said slowly: "Whether it is the Xiongnu of the past or the Xianbei of today, all of our ethnic groups on the grassland are only combined in a tribal alliance, this loose way, Shan Yu is just an alliance leader, and his power is far inferior to that of the emperor of the Central Plains, and this single Yu position cannot be passed from father to son, son to grandson, and can only be used by the strong, and cannot be passed on from generation to generation." ”
Taking a deep breath, Yelu Chucai continued: "Let's talk about our way of survival, all year round are to live by water and grass, when we encounter a drought in the grassland, we will go south into the Central Plains to loot, and the cities that have been captured are mostly abandoned, gained and lost, this way of survival, when the Central Plains country is weakened, we may have the upper hand, once the Central Plains is strong, when we begin to fight back, we will be defeated, when the Xiongnu were beaten by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to the far north, is the best example. ”
After some analysis, Yelu Chucai finally said excitedly: "Therefore, we can only imitate the system of the Central Plains, the big leader will be the emperor, and the tribal alliance will be the state, and the big leader will have supreme power and can mobilize all the Xianbei troops at any time, and no longer need to be constrained by the leaders of various departments."
"In addition to occupying the grassland, we also have to invade the south on a large scale, occupy the cities of the Central Plains, set up county commanders, establish an official system, send troops to garrison, turn those plundered populations into our own people, let them farm for us, pay taxes to us, with these wealth, grain and population, we can continue to invade the south, until the entire Central Plains becomes our great Xianbei land, let our Xianbei people replace the Han people, and become the masters of the whole world."
Yelu Abaoji was silent.
His expression was as calm as iron, and he didn't seem to be shocked at all, as if he was not moved by the great blueprint that Yelu Chucai described to the team, but the excited look in his eyes couldn't hide the emotional fluctuations in his heart.
Emperor, Central Plains, ......
The exciting words reverberated in his heart, drawing out the ambition in his heart, all the ambitions, little by little.
After pondering for a long time, Yelu Abaoji took a deep breath, looked south, and said proudly: "You are right, I, Yelu Abaoji, am the master of the destiny of heaven, destined to become the master of the whole world, we Xianbei people are the warriors chosen by God, and we are destined to trample the weak Han people under our feet!" ”
Listening to Yelu Abaoji's bold words, Yelu Chucai smiled.
……
Thousands of miles away, south of Yijing, the Wei army camp.
In the imperial tent, after listening to Zhang Yi's news about Xianbei's infighting and Mao Dun's killing, his face burned with mixed expressions.
Naturally, Mao Dun was killed, the Xianbei people fell into infighting, and they could not herd their horses south in a short time, and after Liu Bei lost his right arm, it would be difficult to do anything in a short time.
The worry is that that Yelu Abaoji came out so quickly and replaced him.
You must know that Maodun's achievements in history were only nominally unifying the Xiongnu and twisting the Xiongnu tribes from independent tribes into a loose tribal alliance.
Rao is like this, the Huns just relied on such a tribal alliance organization, and suppressed the nascent Han Dynasty for decades, until the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, they had the ability to fight back.
However, Nayelu Abaoji essentially unified the Khitan, and imitated the Central Plains Dynasty to establish an empire belonging to the Khitans.
It was this Khitan Empire that suppressed the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years, and even became the first power in East Asia for a long time, until it was destroyed by the Jin State.
It can be seen that Yelu Abaoji's ability and achievements are far better than those of Maudun.
When the potter's thoughts were far-reaching, the tent Chinese warriors had already fallen into a surprise boil.
Xiang Yu said happily: "Xianbei civil strife, it is God who helps me Great Wei, without Xianbei people to help in the war, relying on the strength of the Han State alone, it will not be able to pose a fatal threat to us at all, Your Majesty, we can return to the south with peace of mind this time to clean up that Hong Xiuquan." ”
Chen Ping also took a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "This is indeed a windfall from heaven, without the help of the Xianbei people, we only need to send another navy to continuously harass the side of the Han Kingdom from the sea, so that Liu Bei will not dare to rush south, and Your Majesty can rest assured to sweep away the rebellion of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom." ”
In the big tent, the ministers obviously thought that Xianbei's civil strife had done Great Wei a great favor.
Yu Chigong laughed and said: "What kind of bird is this Yelu Abaoji, I haven't heard much of this birdman before, I didn't expect this guy to be an ambitious person, and at this juncture, he helped us kill Tuoba Hong, this is good, Tuoba Hong is dead, Xianbei will decline from now on, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief." ”
Wei Chigong's optimism has infected many people, and even a top strategist like Liu Ji is optimistic that the powerful Xianbei is likely to fall apart from now on, and that Yelu Abaoji is just an ambitious rebel, far inferior to Mao Dun, and it is basically impossible to reunite Xianbei.
"You have all despised this Yelu Abaoji, I can guarantee that he is definitely a ...... A ruthless character that is more difficult to deal with. In the midst of optimism, the potter poured a scoop of cold water on the generals in a meaningful tone.
The ministers suddenly quieted down, and looked at the pottery merchant curiously, all of them couldn't figure out why the Son of Heaven was so sure that Yelu Abaoji had extraordinary abilities.
Naturally, the potter couldn't explain it to them, so he could only use time to prove his judgment, but even if Yelu Abaoji was a bigger threat, then this threat would be a matter for the future, at least for now, his appearance did buy him enough time.
At that moment, the potter didn't think much about it, took a deep breath, and said: "The threat from the north has been lifted for the time being, and the order will go down, and the army will immediately return to the south, and follow me to sweep away the rebels of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and after my cavalry has increased greatly, I will go north to sweep away the Han Kingdom and unify China!" ”
