Chapter 51: The Alliance (5)
When the two old men met, they had a very happy conversation.
Luo Dun needless to say, over the years, good meat will be raised, and the tonic decoction from Da Sui has not been taken less, plus there is no lack of exercise, although the beard is gray, but the face is full of red light, and the voice is full of energy, Xu Le sits next to him, and sometimes feels deafening.
At this time, seeing his old friend come to greet him in person, Luo Dun was worried for a while, his voice became three points louder, and the noise of dozens of horses around him was suppressed by him alone.
Although Gaida Aconitum looked like he had been exhausted by the hard years of the grassland and the pressure faced by the huge tribe, he was now trying his best to raise his spirits, Luo Dun had a loud voice, and Gaida Aconitum also tried his best to raise his voice and talk and laugh with Luo Dun.
The servants they brought, only then did Luo Dun refuse to move forward, and the two sides looked a little tense. Now that the estrangement had gone, both sides let go of their hands on their blades, smiled at each other, and some of them began to talk in low voices.
Only Bu Li's guard was still tightly guarding Luo Dun, his hands still pressed the dagger on his waist, and he was only vigilant to look at Gaida Aconite, who still had that fierce appearance.
The two old men walked side by side to the camp of more than 1,000 Yue tribes, and along the way, they saw more and more than 1,000 Yue tribe knights, from groups of three or two to a team of more than ten people, and almost two or three hundred horses were sprinkled out of the camp. You must know that the other eight tribes, each of which brought dozens of soldiers, and the rest were all used to transport goods and drive carts to feed horses. More than 1,000 Yue troops really came up with a big battle for the alliance this time.
Seeing more and more than a thousand knights, Bu Li's nervous and fierce look became more and more serious, it seemed that almost the hair on his body was about to explode, and his whole body was getting tighter and tighter, and a pair of slightly blue eyes turned left and right, preoccupied with vigilance, and seemed to be ready to do it at any time!
Gaida Aconitum looked at Bu Li's appearance, and said with a smile: "Old fellow, this is the wolf girl you picked up, I didn't expect you to love her so much, and take her with you everywhere." ”
Luo Dun shook his head: "You can see that I have brought it before?" It's been better in the past few years, I took her out before, and at this time I came up and bit you, you old arms and legs, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it. ”
If it had been placed before, Luo Dun had laughed at Gaida Aconitum and would have laughed and scolded him back, and recklessly said that he still rode inferior horses, drove hard bows, drank two jars of wine, and still pulled a few little princesses to hold a meeting without shelter.
Now he smiled in a low voice and said softly: "Yes, after Lao Xu dared not come, we haven't seen each other for four or five years, you are trapped in the mountains as your local tyrant and do your fox fur business." I took more than a thousand Yue to support it............ Lao Xu dared to make sense, but we couldn't wait for that time. ”
Seeing his old friend bending over and bending his back, showing his declining appearance, Luo Dun was also gloomy in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "Old Xu dare not be, it is said that he has had a stroke and is lying at home." But this time he sent his grandson, and now he is in my tribe, if it weren't for the Nine Surnames Zhongren Alliance this time, and the outsiders came to trouble, I would have brought him to you to see. ”
Gaida Wutou was shocked: "Old Xu dare not do it?" His grandson is coming? ”
Then he sighed again: "You did the right thing, or don't bring it." Ten years ago, Lao Xu dared to accompany us to make a fuss, and more than 1,000 Yue troops lost nearly 1,000 young people, and you lost your son. Lao Xu Dang was also hit hard, and now more than 1,000 Yue Ministries still remember this incident. The Nine Surnames Alliance is for self-protection, if Lao Xu Dang's grandson comes, he still thinks that we are going to war with the Turks again, and thinks that the Nine Surname Clans will be compensated again, and then this Alliance will not have to be opened. ”
This time, the alliance of the nine surnames was proposed by more than 1,000 Yue Ministries, and after learning the news, Luo Dun's Lianghai Special Department tried their best to support their old friends, and they also came in person. I thought my old friend was still a little ambitious, but when I saw it today, he was so depressed.
The alliance of the nine surnames is to prepare the nine surnames to be united, and it is also a large settlement of 20,000 or 30,000 accounts. At any time, 20,000 young men can be pulled out as an army. It is also located at the junction of the Great Sui and the Turks, and if it falls to the Great Sui, even the Turks have to be afraid. In this way, the Turks naturally had to change their original practice of oppressing the nine surnamed tribes as much as possible, and the nine surnamed tribes could also take advantage of the contradictions between the Turks and the Sui to breathe for a while.
As for the future, that is a matter for children and grandchildren, and Rodon and Gaida Aconitum have fulfilled their generational responsibilities.
Luo Dun thought that he had thought very clearly about the matter of the Nine Surnames Alliance, and it was such a compromise goal. Ten years ago, he and Gaida Aconitum were in high spirits, ready to take advantage of the Turkic weakness and civil strife, and their ambition to stand on their own is long gone.
But with such a compromise goal, how can a conflict with the Turks be avoided? The Turks inevitably used coercion and even military force to intimidate the nine clans. At that time, it was still necessary to be tough, so that the Turks felt that it was worth the loss to start a war against the nine surnamed tribes and force the nine surnamed tribes to fall to the Great Sui as a whole.
But the declining appearance of Gaida Aconitum is now, but it is the appearance that it can't even support this kind of goal. In this way, why bother to convene this alliance of nine surnames?
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the camp of more than a thousand Yue tribe settlements, Luo Dun said to Gaida Wutou in a deep voice: "Aconitus, have you forgotten what Lao Xu dared to say to us? The Han family will be united for a long time, and after hundreds of years of war, the trend of unification has been achieved. Although there are twists and turns, it is difficult to reverse this trend. Although the Turks were prosperous for a while, their own ethnic group was not as good as the Xiongnu, and the various tribes were not as chaotic as the Xiongnu. As long as our nine surnames unite and survive these times, we may be able to see the end of the Turks! No longer have the cattle and horses of your own tribe being captured by the Turks, no longer need the young and strong of your own tribe to follow the Turks to die, no longer have to crawl at the feet of the Turks and let them fish and meat, as long as our nine surnames are united! ”
Rodon's voice was low, but his tone was resolute, and he didn't waver at all.
Gaida Wutou was in a trance, finally cheered up, and nodded with a wry smile: "You still believe Lao Xu's words............ Cheng, we will do a good job in the alliance of these nine surnames and survive these days together! ”
The two of them were about to enter the camp of more than 1,000 Yue tribes under the crowd of people, and the camp had already opened the gate and put down the bridge. Wait for the two patriarchs to enter.
In the camp of the settlement, around the king's tent, there were people from all departments, mixed with more than 1,000 Yue soldiers. The elite of the nine surnamed warriors are all here, everyone is fierce, and everyone is strong. On the king's tent, in addition to more than 1,000 Yue Wang flags fluttering, the other tribes also raised the flags and fluttered in the wind.
In such a weather, there are really nine surnames united and tenaciously persevering in this treacherous world!
Luo Dun took a breath, suppressed the ominous premonition in his heart, and was about to ride in. A small hand like white jade next to him reached over and grabbed the reins of Luo Dun's mount.
Luo Dun turned his head to look, and saw that it was Bu Li who was pulling the reins of Luo Dun's mount and preventing Luo Dun from continuing to enter. A pair of big eyes, with uneasiness and nervousness, just looked at Rodon.
Luo Dun reprimanded: "Bu Li, what are you doing? ”
Bu Li bit his lip, stubborn and refused to let go.
While Gaida Aconite's expression changed, he wanted to say something, but in the end he suppressed it and let Luo Dun deal with the matter himself.
Luo Dun said gently: "Step away, you go in with me, I will not leave you outside." ”
Buli just shook his head, his small hands pulling the reins of Rodon's mount tightly. A long head of hair swayed with the movement of the step, black and bright.
Seeing Rodun and Gaida Aconitum parked at the gate of the camp, waiting for the crowd inside, there was a slight commotion. Lie Lie hurriedly came up from behind, and scolded Bu Li with a straight face: "What are you trying to do? It's not a tribal mess around with you! ”
Bu Lili ignored Lie Lie, and a pair of big eyes just looked at Luo Dun, with a pleading look on his face.
Luo Dun looked around, finally sank his face, and said seriously to Bu Li: "Let go!" ”
Seeing Luo Dun's face sink and step away with a panicked and uneasy look, not only because the little wolf girl was naturally sensitive to danger, but also because Luo Dun had never treated her so harshly!
Under Luo Dun's stern gaze, Bu Li lowered his head, released his fingers one by one, Luo Dun grabbed the reins, turned his head and smiled at Gaida Aconit: "Let's go in, don't let everyone wait too long!" ”
Gaida Wutou also bowed his head slightly, and when he heard Luo Dun's words, he suddenly raised his head as if he was awakened, and laughed: "Then let's go in!" ”
