East of Yinshan Khanting, one hundred and twenty miles, Qijie Mountain.

In a narrow valley, there are more than 30 tents scattered, the grassland outside the valley is not big, and there is no flowing water, only a shallow moor in a radius, perhaps it is precisely because this is not a place with abundant water and grass in the traditional sense, so there are not many people interested in this, so that these more than 30 tribes, too small to survive here, but if you take a closer look, you will find that before a main tent in the middle, there is a floating banner that has disappeared on the grassland for at least fifteen or sixteen years. On the banner, there is a strange beast embroidered with a horse's body and a cow's head and horns, which is the sacred beast worshiped by the Tuoba clan for generations - horse and cow.

Legend has it that during the Three Kingdoms period, the ancestor of the Tuoba clan, also considered to be the famous entrepreneurial leader Tuoba Liwei in history, was no longer satisfied with the harsh conditions of the original place of Daze in Mobei, and wanted to migrate south, to the legendary land of abundant water and grass and abundant sunshine, but the Tuoba clan moved to the bitter cold land of the extreme north for thousands of years, so long that he even forgot the way back.

Just when Tuoba Liwei was almost desperate, there was such a divine beast between heaven and earth, the horse body was bull's head, there were horns, and its chirping sound was like a strong bull, Tuoba Liwei took the tribesmen to follow the beast to the south, and finally found a piece of ownerless and abundant grassland, settled down and settled in this new grassland, and this divine beast is also regarded as the ancestor of the Tuoba clan and the gods sent by the gods to guide the Tuoba tribe, and has since become the totem of the Tuoba Department, and has remained on the banner of the Tuoba clan forever. In the future, whether it is dominating the grassland or establishing a representative country, this banner of horses and cattle has been flying in the north and south of the desert, and everyone knows it.

The mountain wind hunted, blowing this horse and cattle flag whirring, Tuoba and An sat under the flag, looking at the valley in the distance, more than ten muscular strong men, catching wrestling, the rough roar, resounded inside and outside the valley.

Tuoba Jue hooked the corners of his mouth: "It's only been two days since we came here, and it's really unexpected that so many heroes and heroes have come to defect." ”

An Tong smiled slightly, and pointed at these strong men one by one, such as a number of family treasures: "Ba Ba Qian, Tuoba He, Helan Yue, Tuoba Luo, Tuoba Yi, Tuoba Yao, Uncle Sun Jian, Xi Mu, Changsun Fei, Yu Hechen, Tuoba Lie, Tuoba Zun, Tuoba Qian, Wang Jian, He Ba, Yu Guzhen, Lai Chuzhen, Qiu Muling Choushan, Li Li." Except for Li Su, a Han Chinese, the others are Tuoba clans or uncles and grandsons, and these close relatives have been looking forward to the revival of the country all these years, otherwise the noble khan identity will be gone. This is also human nature. ”

Speaking of this, he pointed to a sturdy and burly black man who was eight feet tall and had a yellow beard on his face and said: "That is Wang Jian, his maternal grandmother is married to Emperor Tuoba Yulu, and she is also the mother of King Tuoba Shiyijian. ”

Tuoba Jue smiled slightly: "Helan Yue is the same, that is the real mother's family, originally led us back to Helan Ministry, but unfortunately now that Liu Xian has blocked the road, we can't just leave." The other Heba, Wei Guzhen, and Xi Mu are all warriors who are famous in the grassland, or skilled in equestrianism, or archery like gods, and will be the mainstay of the revival of the country in the future. ”

An Tong nodded and sighed: "It's a pity that the Queen Mother still can't make up her mind now, and she can't bear to openly help the young master revive, maybe she has stayed in the Dugu Department for too long, and she has forgotten that she is the queen of the country." ”

Tuoba Jue's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "An Tong Agan, although we are brothers, you can't say this about my queen mother, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't be here." After all, she has been favored by Liu Kuren and Liu Xian for many years, and she must be grateful to repay her kindness, and now Liu Xian has not openly called Khan, and we have not deviated from his excuses and reasons. ”

An Tong said coldly: "She doesn't understand your ability, and she is afraid that your self-reliance will be destroyed by others." If she saw that you could gather so many warriors in a few days, she would not think so, and the tribes of these warriors have not yet come, and once you raise your arms, there will be at least a few thousand tents, and they will obey you. ”

Tuoba Jue shook his head: "Now is not the time, the foreign enemy is now, if we stand on our own feet first, it will be an unrighteous act, I am afraid that not only will no one come to vote, but many loyal people will be disappointed in me, thinking that I Tuoba Jue is a villain who takes advantage of the fire to rob, and I am afraid that even the Helan Department will not be on our side at that time." ”

An Tong gritted his teeth: "Then are you just waiting here for Liu Xian to destroy us?" In the past, we planned to wait for Liu Xian to make the first move, because of our lack of strength, we could only risk our own lives, but now that we have so many warriors, there is no need to gamble with our lives. Besides, Liu Yu refused to cooperate with us and did not inform us of the news of the Dugu Department, in case Liu Xian really made a murderous move, it would be difficult for us to escape. ”

Tuoba Jue smiled and waved his hand: "I have other eyes and ears, Liu Xian's every move is under my control." Don't worry, I won't be here without complete certainty. What we have to do now is to quietly wait for Liu Xian to repel Liu Weichen and Tuoba Cave, and then turn around and attack me, and at that time, it will be time for us to really stand on our own. ”

Speaking of this, he paused: "Liu Yu should also be able to see that Liu Xian is by no means my opponent, so he will not move, Yan Guo is his enemy, although he can't believe me, but rationally he will definitely let him find a strong grassland ally to help him contain Yan Guo." If he really wants to kill me, I'm afraid that Murong Chui's killer has already arrived here at this time. ”

An Tong sighed: "I haven't understood, why do you believe in Liu Yu so much?" He is the general of the defeated army, it is impossible to return to the Jin Kingdom, and now he and Murong Lan are husband and wife, even if he does not defect to the Yan Kingdom, he will take Murong Lan away as soon as possible, I am afraid that this is what he thinks now. Get rid of you sooner and his mission will be over. Don't be misjudged on this. ”

Tuoba Jue smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Liu Yu is now evaluating and understanding the relationship and strength of the various ministries on the grassland, and wants to know whether a unified grassland has the strength to fight with the Yan Kingdom, so he will continue to wait and see." There is one thing you may not know, that Princess Lan who seems to have no weaknesses at all, someone knows what she is most afraid of and wants, once a woman has weaknesses, she will do a lot of crazy things that cannot be reasoned, so let's wait for the show to be staged. Maybe, we can really let Liu Yu stay in the grassland and use it for me! ”
