Xianbei and Wuhuan and Tang people are buried in the same way in funerals, unlike the Rong people, Di people, and some Western Regions Hu are cremated, but they are also different from the Tang people, probably because of the uncertain migration on the grassland, the tombs of the Xianbei and Wuhuan people can not afford the grave mound, and the system of hidden burial is carried out.

However, Tuoba Lian was neither a khan nor a great minister, and the burial place was within the direct control of the Tuoba Ministry, and there was no foreign life full of hatred for it, so it was not buried in vain, and the body of the tomb owner was buried elsewhere, and at the same time, the ceremonial relics were buried in the open place with great fanfare, so that people had no way of knowing the location of their real tomb, but only buried it.

The funeral was almost at dawn, and the mourners expressed and pinned their grief on the funeral, and they all started to fill in the tomb, trampled and compacted the soil, and moved grass and trees from other places, and restored the original surface of the land through planting. After that, leaving an unknown secret mark, Tuoba led everyone back to the city.

Among the Tuoba Lian's relatives at the funeral, there was a pregnant woman with a big belly. Tuoba Beijin introduced the bald Boye, this is Tuoba Lian's wife, and the one in the belly is Tuoba Lian's posthumous son. Tuoba Lian got married very early, but he never gave birth to a child, and if the fetus in his wife's womb was a boy, so that he would have an heir, it would relieve Tuoba of his grief a little.

The Xianbei people inside and outside the city have not left at this time.

Tuoba Beijin returned to the city along the road, and the people bowed to the ground, saluting and shouting.

These people who salute are not only those who live in Shengle City, but also many of them come from other places, and sometimes some of them are dressed well, and they are small and heroic from all walks of life.

Tuoba Beijin rode his horse slowly, and at the same time frequently signaled to them, and when he saw someone he knew, he stopped and said a few words.

Although the Tuoba Department initially established a centralized official system under the rule of Tuoba Beijin, this centralization was very weak, and in essence, it was still in a state of tribal alliance. The support of the chiefs of the various ministries is of great significance to the Tuoba who has just been assassinated.

In fact, in the past history of the Tuoba Tribe, every time there was a wedding or funeral, it often became an opportunity for the incumbent khan to declare his strength and deter disobedience. Before the double jin, there was a Khan of the Tuoba Department, after seizing the Khan throne, he was buried for his deceased mother, the participants amounted to more than 200,000 people, you know, the total number of the Tuoba Department was only hundreds of thousands, it can be said that the grand occasion was unprecedented, and the stone monument was specially erected for this purpose to record.

Tuoba Lian's mother was the princess Murong of Wei, who had no tribes in Daibei, and his pregnant wife was from the Helan clan. The Helan tribe is an important tribe in Daibei, and has been married to the Tuoba clan for many generations. Many of the tribesmen, Xiaoshu, and Haoxiong who came from afar were from the Helan Ministry. They are also using this kind of action to show their loyalty to Tuoba Beijin.

Looking at Tuoba doubling his grief, in the reflection of the morning light, in the posture of moving forward calmly among the thousands of people in the middle of the road, thinking of his ascension to the present, the conquest continues, so that the Tuoba Department dominates the north, as if there is a restoration of the deeds of the past control of millions of weather, bald and wild somehow, spontaneously gave birth to a kind of "the Central Plains has no owner, Hu Er should be like this, coercing the crowd to compete with the world" emotion.

This is not because he accepts Tang again, but he is still a Hu person, why is it not the same for Tang people? If there is no heroic lord above, then he can be willing to be a minions, eagle dogs, if there is no heroic lord above, the sea is in chaos, even if it is a hero of the Tang people, how can there be no intention of chasing the deer?

Tuoba Beijin changed the residence of Bo Ye and the others, and changed to live in a guest house in the city.

Two days later, Qiu Dunqian came to the guest house, conveyed the order of the double jin, and summoned Bo Ye to see him.

An Chong and the others hurriedly prepared, and when they were about to follow, Qiu Dunqian said: "The Khan only summoned the bald Boye, and did not call you. ”

An Chong and the others could only stay in the guest house.

Shengle City was first built in the Gaozu period of Tuoba Beijin, and was built on the basis of Chengle County in the Qin Dynasty. The ancestor of Tuoba is the younger brother of the ancestor of bald Xianbei, and the division of bald hair and Tuoba is from these two brothers. It has been more than 100 years. When the eldest brother of Beijin took office as Tuoba Khan, he repaired it. He succeeded to the throne and expanded it again.

In addition to the expansion, Beijin also built a Shengle Palace as a place to stay.

Shengle Palace is not in Shengle City. Double Jin was originally living in the palace.

According to the Xianbei customs, "April sacrifices to the sky, but frost in June", west of Shengle, the upper part of the Yellow River "several" shape of the Yinshan Mountains, far-reaching trees, to June, the frost and snow still do not melt, it is the Khan of the Tuoba Department every year at the end of June, leading the public to Yinshan, "cover the heat but cold"; Of course, the cold is only the name of the sacrificial ceremony, in fact, the main purpose is that in June, the grass and trees are lush, the birds and beasts are strong, and large-scale hunting activities can be carried out, so as to supplement the rations for the troops, and also contain the meaning of military training.

The assassination of Beijin by Tuoba Beijin's nephew occurred when Beijin had just led the crowd back from Yinshan and arrived at Shengle City. After all, the Shengle Palace is heavily guarded, and his nephew does not have a chance to make a move. But because of this, Beijin has stayed in Shengle City until now.

The place where the bald and wild hair was summoned was not in the Shengle Palace.

On the day of the assassination, he was transferred to live in the Guards. The place to see Bono is in the military camp in the west of the city.

The barracks were fiercely fighting, with Tuoba soldiers patrolling all the roads in the camp in five steps, one post at five paces, and one sentry at ten paces.

Passing by the baggage area, Boye saw hundreds of large cars parked in the fence, a few of which were different from others, and the wheels were particularly tall, which was a model invented by the people of Eile. Because of this, the people of Ele are also called the high-chariot people.

The terrain of Mobei is complex, deserts, swamps, and mud are common, and cars with tall wheels are easy to drive on this kind of terrain.

A few years ago, Beijin broke the northern border with Daibei several units, captured more than 10,000 people, millions of sheep and horses, because of its high chariot is conducive to travel, so he brought back the style, made some, and used it in his own army.

Speaking of which, Eile is also a big tribe, and there are many warriors in the clan, such as the Wen Shilan, who is the fierce general of the famous Northland, but because the level of civilization is too low, there is no mature political system at all, and there is no organizational ability, in this era of the jungle, it can only be helplessly or be conquered by Rouran, or bullied by Xianbei and other tribes.

Bo Ye entered the Great Khan's Tent.

The tent was very large, but it was a tent of a hundred, and it could hold a hundred.

More than a dozen ministers and generals of the Tuoba Department sat on both sides, and Tuoba was at the top. All the people sat in nonsense. Most of them have small pigtails, brown and white clothes, and each handle is pressed on the knee. There is also a well-dressed one of the Chinese people.

Bo Zhizhi said: "That Tang man should be the generation of Sun Mian." ”

Sun Mian is a famous scholar of Daijun, who is well-versed in the history of the classics and is good at the study of yin and yang. When he heard his name, he invited him several times, but Sun Mian should not be. Whether it is rude or straightforward, in short, he can't bear it, he has a temperament, sends thousands of troops, and simply surrounds Sun Mian's hometown, and says to the county: "Don't give Sun Mian to Lao Tzu, slaughter your whole city!" Sun Mian had no choice but to go out of the city obediently, and since then he has been attached to double the catty. Double the pound and add to Thaksin. Although he was a Tang man, in the Tuoba Tribe, Sun Mian had a great influence on his military and political policies.

Qiu Dunqian replied to Beijin: "Khan, bald and wild." ”

The bald Boye was neatly dressed, he took off the Xianbei hat on his head, and according to the etiquette of Beihu, he pressed the hat on his chest and bent down to salute. He is a courtier of Dingxi, who came on behalf of Dingxi, for the sake of Dingxi's national character, but he did not bow down.

He didn't care about it, and said, "Sit down." ”

The guards took down the two hanging huts from the tent wall and set them up. Qiu Dunqian and Bo Ye sat down one after another.

Bei Jin said: "I have read your national letter." Nothing was written. It's all nonsense, it's all bells and whistles. King Dingxi and General Xin sent you, what is the matter? ”

Yesterday, he sent Qiu Dunqian and asked Boye for a letter of state. Bo Ye knew that the Hu people were not like the Tang people, and they didn't have so much etiquette, so they didn't insist on giving double catties in person and gave Qiu Dunqian. There's really no substance written there, it's just a ceremonial word.

Bo Ye said: "My king and the auxiliary kingdom sent me to your ministry to give a great gift to the khan. ”

"What gift?"

"Shuofang County."

There was a slight commotion in the tent.

Tuoba Beijin said: "Shuo Fang is now in the hands of Rong Qin, how did your king give it to me?" ”

"Tiefu Zhao Rangan, the son of Zhao Yanli, has been voted to my Dingxi today. The Zhao family has long been in charge of Shuofang's Tiefu and Zahu tribes, dyed and strong, brave and strong, and won the hearts of the Shuofang tribes. My king and the auxiliary country want to use him as a general, give 100,000 soldiers, and occupy Shuofang! It is hoped that the Khan will be able to send his men to attack with us. When the Shuo Fang is laid, he is willing to share the land equally with the Khan. ”

Tuoba Beijin said: "After talking for a long time, I want to help you." It's not for me, it's for you. ”

The bald man smiled: "Khan, don't you want Shuo Fang? ”

Tuoba Beijin said: "Yes! ”

"If you want to, then why bother with who gives gifts to whom?"

Tuoba Beijin touched his beard and said, "You don't need you to set the west, Lao Tzu can also lay down Shuo Fang!" You said that you gave Zhao Ran 100,000 soldiers, the cowhide was blown too big, right? You are in the west, and there are no 100,000 steps in the whole country. I have 100,000 fine riders under my account, and with a little requisition, I can get 200,000 foot riders, and I can get it with my backhand. Why should I part ways with you? ”

The bald Boye was not in a hurry, and Lang Lang smiled: "The Khan said that I brag, and I am indeed bragging." As an envoy, you should proclaim the prestige of your country, how can you not brag? But Khan, you're bragging too, aren't you? Although your subordinates are dominant, and there are only hundreds of thousands of troops, if all men and women are recruited, the old and the weak are transferred, you may get 200,000 soldiers, but Khan, for the sake of a Shuo Fang, are you worth doing this? ”

Tuoba laughed, pointed at Bo Ye, and said to everyone: "I like this kid!" It is worthy of the seed of my Tuoba ancestor! ”

The bald man said, "Bo Ye dares to ask for an analysis for the Khan. ”

"You say!"

"Under the leadership of the Khan, your ministry is thriving and subduing for thousands of miles, and there are a lot of miscellaneous departments attached to it. However, the land of Daibei is so big. On the way to Shengle, Bo Ye saw on the way that the pastures of various departments were connected, and the tents were dense, and it was not uncommon for fights to occur in order to protect their pastures from being eaten by other sheep and horses. It is the land of the northern district, and it is no longer enough for the Khan's subordinates to raise!

"Shuofang along both sides of the river, the water and grass are abundant, not to mention the people who can support 100,000 accounts, if you get here, you can alleviate the urgency of your land. Earlier, Khan attacked Zhao Yanli twice, and secretly thought that this was the case, right? Only Zhao Yanli had the help of Rong Qin, and the Khan won twice, but both times failed to bring Shuo Fang under his rule. ”

A yellow-faced and thin Xianbei man in the tent took a sip and scolded: "Zhao Yanli's dog thing!" Treacherous old thief! I heard that he was killed by Pu Mao? Well done! Happy people's hearts, relieve my hatred! ”

Bo Ye didn't know this person, but from his words, he probably guessed that it must be Su Guwan. Su Guwan led troops to rescue Zhao Yanli, but was sold by Zhao Yanli, and was attacked by Meng Lang and Gou Xiong, and returned to Shengle in defeat. He doesn't hate Zhao Yanli.

Bo Ye thought: "Su Wen Gu Wan is a famous general of the Tuoba Department, from the capture of Wei to fight Rouran, he broke several Rouran divisions, penetrated thousands of miles, and won tens of thousands, which can be called brave." I don't mean that real people are so thin, like no chicken power. ”

Without being interrupted by Su Guwan's train of thought, Bo Ye continued, "Although Shuofang and our country are bordered, but there are thousands of miles of desert sea separated from our country, even if Shuofang is laid, can our country still be able to garrison in Shuofang for a long time?" Our king and the auxiliary kingdom said that they were against the Khan, and in fact they were ready to give all this land to the Khan! Our army and the khan are together, and our army does not take a penny, Bo Ye Shicai said, our king and the auxiliary envoy Bo Ye came, it was to give a big gift to the Khan, is it not wrong? ”

"You don't want land, what are you going to do?"

"Pu Qin is strong, so those who attack Shuo, our country is to protect the three counties of Qinzhou."

"I understand, your king and General Xin want to coax Lao Tzu to be your target! After defeating Shuofang, Lao Tzu occupies this place, and Rong Qin will come to attack me; Your three counties in Qinzhou will also be able to turn the crisis into safety, and you will be able to sit on the stage and watch the excitement. ”

Bo Ye Zhengse said: "The Khan's words are very wrong! ”

"What's wrong?"

"The truth of 'lips and teeth are cold', will my king and Fu Guoyan not know? If Rong Qin attacks the Khan, my country will definitely send troops out of the three counties of Qinzhou, echo the Khan in the south, and relieve the siege for the Khan! ”

"Really?"

"Rong Qin attacked Shuofang, and my country sent troops to the south; If Rong Qin attacks my Qinzhou, please send troops to the north. Our country and the Khan responded to the north and south, in this way, not only Qinzhou can be safe, but the Khan's Shuofang will also be fine! This is the plan of our king and his auxiliaries. ”

Tuoba Beijin said: "It's very good. If Rong Qin fights Shuo Fang, you don't care? Can I force you to send troops? If your courtiers are unwilling to help me, and you keep saying, 'Your king,' and your king is just a child, has he been the master?" ”

The bald man said: "Although my king is young, he is unusually intelligent, and his courtiers are all loved. Let's not talk about my king, if Rong Qin attacks Shuo, the auxiliary generals will definitely help the Khan! ”

"Your auxiliary general, I have heard his name, and he has some military talents, which can be roughly rivaled by my eldest son......"

The bald Boye changed color angrily, got up and said angrily: "The Khan humiliates me, the auxiliary general, I am the pillar of the Dynasty, the north breaks Rouran, the West Ping and the Western Regions, and the east destroys Rongxing, opening up thousands of miles for my dynasty, and shaking the north and south. How can the auxiliary state be humiliated by the Khan! The snort, pressing the waist and standing up, the handsome and martial arts were exposed, which alarmed the Xianbei civil and military who were full of tents.

He kept smiling, and suddenly became angry, which also made Tuoba Beijin stunned.

Tuoba Beijin smiled: "Listening to you say this, the auxiliary country is indeed amazing, and my son can't compare!" You sit down. Lao Tzu lost his words for a while, what are you excited about? ”

The bald man took it when he saw it, and sat back down.

Tuoba Beijin said: "Whether your auxiliary generals can fight or not, let's not talk about it first." Let me ask you, how dare you pack a ticket and say that your auxiliary generals will definitely help me? ”

The bald Boye slowed down his tone and said: "The general of the auxiliary country has the foresight, and the four words 'lips and teeth are cold' are what the general of the auxiliary country told me, the Khan is in trouble, how can the auxiliary country sit and watch?"

"And the auxiliary general Xinyi is well-known. Fuguo tastes slaughtering Tangchang County, night banquet Lu Shui Zahu, drunk, county Gong Cao Xianbao, there is a small rate in the miscellaneous, a knife in the treasure of Xibao, and the auxiliary country gives this knife with it. Fuguo also liked this knife, and the next day he woke up, quite reluctant; When he heard it, he returned the knife to the auxiliary country, and the auxiliary country kept his word and never took it. For a miscellaneous small rate, the auxiliary country is still so credible, but not to the khan? The sincerity of the auxiliary, the khan has no doubts. ”

Tuoba nodded and said, "You go back to the guest house first, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow." ”

Waiting for Bo Ye to leave, Tuoba asked everyone in the tent and said, "What do you think of Dingxi's proposal?" ”

Qiu Dunqian, Su Guwan, as well as the head general Helan Yannian under the Tuoba double Jin account, and the generals of the Tuoba Ten Surnames, Dugu, Wuhuan and others, expressed their positions one after another, some in favor and some against.

Tuoba Beijin asked Sun Mian and said, "What does Mr. think?" ”

Sun Mian said: "The bald Boye said that the people in the north of our generation are narrow and dense, and it is not enough to support the people. But more importantly, Khan, I represent the north and the north as Rouran, and the south and east as vain, and are limited in it, such as people, who sit on their knees and sit, and cannot stretch. ”

Tu He is the Tang name of the Tuoba tribe for Murong. There are different reasons for transliteration, which is not as beautiful as Murong's meaning, and there is also the intention of contempt, just like Pu Qin called Murong "Bailu".

"Sir agrees to an alliance with Dingxi?"

"The lord of the kingdom is seriously ill, and there will be civil strife in his country. Before its civil strife, if the khan could be based on Shuo Fang in hand, Sheng Le in Tu He Bei, Shuo Fang in Tu He West, and when its chaos started, he could wait for the opportunity to use troops, or go from the north, or from the west, or two ways, calmly attack! ”

This reason is more important than the first two.

Tuoba Beijin pondered for a long time and said, "That's the truth. However, if I take Shuo's prescription, I will definitely start a war with Rong Qin. Rong Qin, a strong country, once the war starts, I have to go all out, and why is there civil strife in vain, won't it miss the opportunity for me to go south? ”

Sun Mian said: "No matter how strong the soldiers are, even if there is chaos, it is not suitable to start a war with them in the short term." As soon as the lord of the country died, He Hun rebelled. The best strategy is not better, after the battle between Tu He and He Hun is over, take advantage of their defeat, and the Khan will drive straight forward again! Prior to that, you can first operate Shuofang. Dingxi's auxiliary general Xin Er is indeed not a mediocre person, if Rong Qin comes to attack me, he will not sit idly by, he echoes with the khan in the south, Rong Qin is tired of the north and south, although it is strong, it is not enough to worry. ”

……

The discussion in the tent was unresolved, and Tuoba returned to the tent with a heart.

His wife, Murong Shi, saw that he frowned, and although she mourned the murder of her eldest son Tuoba Lian, she still asked him, "What worries the Khan? But summoned the bald and wild people, did things not go well? ”

Murong is smart and knowledgeable, deep and decisive, and is very favored and trusted.

Tuoba Beijin had the heart to ask her opinion, and after thinking about it, no matter what the Murong family said, it was a member of the Murong family, and he was plotting the affairs of the Wei country, so it was best not to tell her, lest she be in the middle of the trouble, so he casually found an excuse and fooled the past, and only said: "Although the rebel party has been punished by me, my son will not be resurrected, thinking of this, my heart is sad!" ”

Murong shed tears, fell on the mat, and began to sob.

Tuoba Beijin let go of the Khan's majesty, like the husband of an ordinary family, took her into his arms, and comforted her gently.

……

That night, Tuoba Beijin opened his eyes, couldn't sleep, thought about it repeatedly, thought about it in the middle of the night, and made a decision.

The next day, he summoned the bald man again and accepted Xin'er's agreement.

According to the customs, the bald Boye represents Xin Er, and Tuoba takes a knife and crosses his arms, and swears a blood oath.

did not stay long in the Tuoba Department, and Bo Ye returned to Dingxi with An Chong and others on the same day.

When they arrived at the bank of the Yellow River, out of the consideration that someone had to return to Guyin safely and report the conclusion of the covenant to Xin Er, after discussion, everyone divided An Chong and Zhou Xian to cross the river, sneak into Shuofang, and observe the reality and reality; The rest of the people followed the bald man back the way he came.

An Chong and Zhou Xian returned to Dingxi four days later than the bald Boye, and when they arrived in Guyin, they immediately went to report to Xin Er what they had inspected, needless to say.

……

Let's talk about the capital of Wei, in the Yecheng Palace.

Lord Wei is no longer seriously ill, but critically ill.

When he was dying, he summoned his sons and instructed him on the future.

Seven or eight princes of the Wei Kingdom, all dressed in beautiful clothes, stood in front of the couch and listened.
