Chapter 421: Absolute Strength (1)
The spring of the prairie is very beautiful, beautiful like a fairyland, the new grass blades are gently swaying with the wind, verdant and dripping, flowers bloom everywhere, the purple and red, the cattle and sheep stroll on the endless prairie, in the sound of the Qiang flute, a group of children run and jump, the sound of laughter is as light and crisp as a bell, a good picture of the beautiful scenery of spring, which makes people linger and forget to return, but then Tuoba Mountains and Wild is obviously not here, although a pair of eyes seem to be like a clansman staring at the scenery in front of him, but the deep eyes are full of thick worry, and the haze between the eyebrows is faintly visible.
"Second brother, what's wrong with you?"
Maybe he was too involved, Tuoba Shanye had no intention of controlling the horse, and he accidentally squeezed the horse next to the horse of Tuoba Shanxiong, the head of the black party who was waving Fang Yu in front, although it was not very important, but it caused the surprise of his brother Tuoba Shanxiong.
"Ah, nothing, distracted."
Hearing the sound, Tuoba Shanye woke up from the fugue, and when he saw his brother's face full of concern, Tuoba Shanye smiled embarrassedly and responded casually.
"Second brother, do you have something on your mind? Hehe, is there anything else on this prairie that can be difficult to defeat my eagle? ”
Tuoba Shan Xiong saw the shy smile on his brother's face, his heart couldn't help but roll through a burst of warmth, smiled and joked, the words were full of love - Tuoba family brothers lost their father since childhood, all rely on the less than sixteen years old Tuoba Shan Xiong to maintain the survival of the tribe, after ten years, Tuoba Mountains and Wild rose, famous for the military strategy of the grassland, after 20 years of operation, annexed the large and small party tribes more than ten, and now it is one of the largest tribes in Hexi, with more than 30,000 tribes, Most of them rely on the ability of Tuoba Mountains, however, Tuoba Mountains and Fields have never been proud of their achievements, their brothers are like fathers, brothers love and respect their brothers, and under the concerted efforts of the three of them, the black party has faintly become the vane of the tribes in Hexi, among which the most capable Tuoba Mountains has won a good reputation, known as the "Eagle of Hexi".
"The eldest brother smiled, and the younger brother was just a little worried, I hope this trip can go smoothly to the banks of the Huangshui River."
Facing his brother's ridicule, Tuoba Shanye obviously hesitated, but he still pointed out the hidden worries in his heart obscurely.
"Well, what does the second brother mean by this, how can the brother be a little confused."
Although Tuoba Shanxiong is the head of the tribe, he is far less powerful than Tuoba Shanye in the military and political roads, even if Tuoba Shanye has pointed out that there may be changes in this trip, but Tuoba Shanxiong is stunned and can't understand where the problem will be, so he has no choice but to ask questions.
"No, maybe the younger brother is too worried, hmm, do you remember the 'Hezhou Racecourse' mentioned in the rumors a few days ago?" Tuoba Shanye pondered for a while, but decided to clearly reveal the hidden worries in his heart.
"'River State Racecourse'? That's just a stuff made up by the Han people, what do you have to do with me? I didn't necessarily come to wait for me, but the second brother said something directly, and I really can't see anything wrong here. ”
Tuoba Yamao scratched the back of his head suspiciously, and after thinking for a while, he still couldn't understand the strangeness of this "Hezhou Horse Farm", so he could only push the problem back to his brother.
"Big brother, what do you think of the King of England?"
Tuoba Shanye was not in a hurry to answer his brother's question, but changed the subject.
"This ......, well, this person is the lord of the hegemon, and his ability is probably not under the Khan of the year, the second brother asks this, is it because he is worried that the king of England will embarrass me?"
Tuoba Yama Xiong has been a leader for many years, although he is slightly inferior to his brother, but after all, he is not a stupid person, and at this time, he finally understands his brother's worries.
"What the eldest brother said is very true, the king of England is talented, and it is certainly a blessing in the Tang Dynasty, but I am afraid that all the ethnic groups in Hexi may not be able to, and the war ...... last year."
Tuoba Yamano sighed and said half of his words with a lot of worry.
"The second brother is too worried, we didn't send troops in the war last year, even if the king wants to ask for the guilt, he may not be able to help me."
As soon as I thought of the big battle last year, Tuoba Mountain Xiong's heart couldn't help but feel a burst of remorse - when the Tubo Prime Minister Gar Qinling led hundreds of thousands of troops, all the tribes in Hexi thought that ** would be irresistible, and the fall of Hexi was imminent, so they were all in a hurry to communicate with Tubo secretly, intending to get some benefits from this war, but they never expected that Li Xianyi would be able to block the strong attack of the Tubo army with a weak army, and the tribes in Hexi didn't even have time to react, and the Tubo army was defeated. Although most of the tribes in Hexi have not sent troops to rebel, but the situation of detachment from the Tang Dynasty has been undoubtedly revealed, since it has to prevent the British King from settling accounts after the autumn, at that time, Tuoba Shanye had strongly opposed the conspiracy with Tubo, but Tuoba Shanxiong did not listen, stubbornly thought that the Tang Dynasty would be defeated, although he had not really sent troops to attack **, but he did not do less to monitor the movement of **, although this kind of thing was still hidden, but it was not necessarily able to hide the eyes and ears of **, Tuoba Shanxiong could not help but worry about the retaliation from the Tang Dynasty.
"I hope so, alas, if my black party clan is a small tribe, maybe it will be fine, but ......"
Tuoba Shanye's thoughts are obviously much more far-reaching than his brother's, but when it comes to countermeasures, he is also at a loss, just because the initiative to make a move is in the hands of the British king, it is not easy to see the move, in the face of Li Xian such a domineering master, Tuoba Shanye really does not have much confidence and certainty.
"Big brother, second brother, it's not good, there's a mess ahead!"
Before Tuoba Shanye's words were finished, he saw a dozen horsemen rushing back from the front of the team like a whirlwind, and a young man about twenty-five or six years old was none other than the third of the Tuoba family, Tuoba Shanzhong, but when he saw his horse rushing to the front like a fly, he shouted loudly.
"Panic? Tell me something! ”
Seeing that Tuoba Shanzhong was so flustered, Tuoba Shanxiong's heart couldn't help but sink, but when he saw that the tribes around him were all frightened, his face immediately drooped, and he reprimanded with a straight face.
"Ah, yes, eldest brother, the dog thief in Ninggu Sidu claimed to have been ordered by the Hexi Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to dominate the Hezhou Ranch, and also led the tribal soldiers to block the way of the tribes outside the Black Mountain Pass, the Murong Department, the Qiyan Department, and the Step Thorn Department have all been stopped, and the front part led by the younger brother has also been blocked, saying that the Dadu Governor's Mansion has requisitioned the entire Hezhou, and the tribes are not allowed to enter the ranch for half a step, and now there is a quarrel ahead, eldest brother, second brother, what do you think." Seeing that the eldest brother was angry, Tuoba Shan did not dare to slack off, took a few breaths, and hurriedly reported the news he had obtained.
"What, Ningusto, this old dog, is really a bastard, go, take a look!"
Tuoba Shan Xiong and Ninggu Si are old rivals, the relationship between each other has never been harmonious, in previous years, there were many conflicts because of the pasture, back to the black party Xiang won a big victory, at this time I heard that Ning Gu Si actually dared to do the monopolization of the pasture, Tuoba Shan Xiong was on fire when he landed, and he broke off with a black face, and he was going to lead his troops to rush forward.
"Big brother and slow!"
As soon as he saw that his brother was going to act in a negative mood, Tuoba Shanye was in a hurry, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand, grabbed the reins of Tuoba Shanxiong's horse, and hurriedly spoke out to stop him.
"The second brother let go, without the pasture, how can my clan survive? For my brother, I want to see what this old bastard Ninggu Sidu is capable of, and dare to do such a rebellious thing! ”
Tuoba Shanxiong's anger was obviously extremely great, and as soon as he shook the reins of the horse, he wanted to get rid of the obstruction of Tuoba Shanye, and he cursed with anger in his mouth.
"Big brother, be careful of deception, don't act rashly."
Tuoba Shanye was originally suspicious of the Hexi Horse Farm, and combined with Ninggu Sidu's domineering, he concluded that the matter was not so simple, but the ranch was a matter of life and death of the clan, and there was no possibility of retreating in this matter, but despite this, he still cautiously advised his brother.
"Got it, let's go!"
Tuoba Shanxiong was angry, how could he have the heart to think about the strangeness behind this matter, waved his hand, flicked away his brother's hand holding the reins of the horse, broke his throat, and led a group of tribal guards to rush forward, Tuoba Shanye saw this, and could only shake his head with a wry smile, and a horse sped up, and chased after him......
Black Mountain Pass is one of the main roads in the Hexi Corridor into Qinghai, however, because it is located in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, there was originally only one not too big Guancheng and then with a thousand soldiers to guard, but since the battle of Hezhou last year, this small Guancheng has begun to expand, after an autumn and a winter of rectification, now it is a Xiongguan, completely strangled the road of the tribes of several states in the northwest of Hezhou to enter the spring and summer pastures of Hezhou, and now, more than 6,000 tribal miscellaneous soldiers led by Ninggu Sidu are encamped on the plain in front of the pass, Forcibly blocked the migration of large and small tribes, the two sides have confronted each other for several days, and there are as many as 20 large and small tribes that have come one after another, among which the Murong tribe and the Qiyan tribe have arrived in front of the pass in the three largest tribes in the northwest of the river, the people of each tribe have reached nearly 100,000 people together, the huge plain in front of the pass is full of all kinds of camps, when it is the time of the livestock/estrus, the noise of cattle, sheep and horses is extremely noisy, coupled with the sound of the scolding and fighting between the tribes and the Ninggu Sidu Department day and night, the whole plain in front of the pass is full of hustle and bustle.
"Old Murong, beggar old man, what are you making a fuss about?"
As the largest tribe in Hexi, the majesty of the black party is not fun, as soon as the clan soldiers of its brigade arrived, many tribes who were originally fighting with Ninggu Sidu's department immediately quieted down, and the heads of the tribes hurried to turn around to meet the three Tuoba brothers, but Tuoba Shanxiong had no intention of greeting and talking nonsense with these big and small people, and the war horse under the crotch had not completely stopped, Tuoba Shanxiong was already shouting with a black face, did not save any face for Murong Wenbo, the head of the Murong tribe, and Qiyan Naoyan, the head of the Uighur Qiyan tribe.
"Haha, just talking about Brother Tuoba, you can just arrive, this time, you're old, I'm afraid this matter will be solved."
Murong Wenbo was a smiling tiger-like figure, and he was not angry at all because of Tuoba Shanxiong's blunt attitude, but just laughed and laughed, and seemed to be extremely pleased with the arrival of the three Tuoba brothers.
"Yo, I said who arrived, such a big majesty, dare to love Tuoba Boss is here, hehe, this time I can wait to enter Hezhou, but it depends on you."
Qiyan Naohiko thinks that he has a Turkic backer behind him, and he has never looked at the black party in his eyes, and he has never fought with each other for the pasture.
"Hmph, beggar old man......"
Tuoba Shanxiong has defeated the Qiyan tribe several times, and he already looks down on it in his heart, but when he heard Qiyan Naohiko's words be so ugly, the already big anger became a little more vigorous, and he wanted to scold his mother when he opened his mouth.
"Big brother, let's take a look at what Ning Gusi is doing first."
Seeing that his brother was going crazy, Tuoba Shanye was a little anxious, lest his own camp would have trouble before the big thing was decided, so he hurriedly interjected from the side.
"Humph!"
Tuoba Yama Xiong is not a bad person, this time he heard his brother open his mouth, and it was not good to attack again, so he glared angrily at Qiyan Naohiko, snorted coldly, shook the reins of the horse, and rode the horse to lead the crowd to the front of the battle slowly......
