067 Crisis II
The matter of pacifying the rebels naturally fell on the heads of Tuoba Yan and General Kutulu. General Kutulu ordered 100,000 troops to be stationed ten miles outside Danyang City, and ordered Qingyun Tiewei to also be stationed not far away. However, although the Qingyun Iron Guard is an elite, its number is scarce. If the rebels rebel again, they may not be able to suppress them.
General Kutulu was worried about the barracks every day, but fortunately, it didn't take long for Tuoba Yan to come here with a few companions.
All the soldiers gathered on the empty school grounds, looking up at Tuoba Yan walking up to the high platform step by step. Tuoba said in his heart that he finally controlled the army and the regime, but he didn't expect that it would be such a dangerous moment. He finally became the true master of Qingyun, but he had to take Qingyun's soldiers into the battlefield.
Looking at the 100,000 troops under the stage, Tuoba Yan tightly grasped the hilt of the "Snow Tip" and looked down at the soldiers below with a stern gaze.
"Qingyun soldiers, who I am, I think everyone knows very well." Tuoba Yan looked around and said lightly, "Not long ago, we were still enemies, fighting against each other in the Wild Valley. ”
There was a buzz in the ranks, many of them bowed their heads guiltily, and some looked at the khan nervously, wondering if he would punish the rebels.
Ignoring the restless crowd, Tuoba continued, "As you know, Mozang Daqiu has been killed by my own hands. She is the most important person in Qingyun, she killed my father Khan Tuoba Hao, she killed my brother Tuoba Yin, and now, she has asked her brother to incite you to rebel and want Heiyan to swallow us Qingyun. ”
Although many people heard about these things, the truth announced from the mouth of the khan still shocked the hearts of those present. I didn't expect Mozang Kodun to really do such a hurtful thing.
Tuoba Yan softened his tone and said to the soldiers: "I know that you have been deceived and deceived by Black Rock, but in fact, you are still eager to be Qingyun and do not want to be Black Rock's lackeys. We are brothers and sisters, and we will never kill each other! ”
There was a high tide in the procession again, and many people finally knew that they were wrong, and others were angry that Mozang Dashi had deceived them. The soldiers shot at the ground and shouted in unison: "Never kill each other, never kill each other!" ”
Tuoba Yan waved his hand to silence everyone, and he said: "Soldiers, in the name of the Khan, I promise you that as long as you can atone for your crimes, you will not be held accountable for all the past things. ”
When the soldiers heard this, they were overjoyed, and they didn't know who took the lead first, and the soldiers knelt on one knee one by one, like a strong wind blowing through a wheat field, and they fell to their knees. They put their right hand on their left shoulder and bowed their heads. This is the highest etiquette of Xiang Qiang, representing loyalty and reverence.
The soldiers shouted: "Long live the Khan!" Long live Qingyun! Countless shouts converged and resounded through the clouds.
Qin Luo finally took some time to go to the cave near the stone mountain to see if the blacksmith Sun had left anything. However, he never expected that as soon as he entered the cave, he saw blacksmith Sun inside, and it seemed that he had been waiting for Qin Luo here for a long, long time.
"I'm guessing you're going to be here lately." Facing Qin Luo's puzzled gaze, Blacksmith Sun said.
"There's been so much going on lately, I ...... Without your consent, I instigated Tuoba to attack Mozangdashi. Qin Luo said. After all, it's not good for him to decide such a big thing privately without the consent of the above.
Blacksmith Sun didn't have the slightest intention to blame, he nodded and praised: "Wei Wei saved Zhao, you did a very good job." I have received accurate information that Mozangdag is preparing to withdraw its troops, and the land north of the Lan River has been saved. ”
"Really?" Qin Luo said excitedly, "It's finally time to withdraw the troops." ”
"But don't be too happy." Blacksmith Sun said solemnly, "Have you ever thought that if the Black Rock Department defeats the Qingyun Tribe, it will still not be a good thing for Great Chu. We have to do everything we can to keep the clouds. ”
Qin Luo nodded, "This is natural, Tuoba Yan and Qingyun generals are also actively preparing for battle. ”
"However, the people's hearts are unstable." Blacksmith Sun said, "My blacksmith shop has recently increased the number of people who want to build weapons. They are ordinary herdsmen, building weapons and preparing for self-defense. There are also some people who have already packed their things and plan to flee to the Chishui or Baisha tribes for refuge. The people on the grassland said that the eldest son of the Tuoba family killed his father, and the younger son killed his mother, so he should not be cursed by the Red Wu Heavenly God. ”
"Tuoba Yan is ready to let the great wizard sacrifice and pray to appease the people." Qin Luo said.
"What's the use of that?" Blacksmith Sun shook his head and sighed, "He actually killed his own mother, what a barbarian nation." ”
Qin Luo was also slightly cold in his heart, Tuoba killed his mother, maybe it was excusable. However, the most chilling thing is that no one else thinks there is anything wrong with this, even Tuoba Ling is afraid of Mozang Dag's revenge, so he said Tuoba Yan.
Qin Luo said to Blacksmith Sun: "From the very beginning, the Tuoba family was defeated. Brothers fight, father and son cannibalism, so that Mozang Kedun has a chance. It was not Heiyan who defeated Qingyun, it was Qingyun himself. Da Chu, too. ”
Blacksmith Sun thought about the mediocrity and incompetence of the old emperor of Dachu, the miasma of the imperial court, all intrigues, and corruption. This is also the most important reason for that national break.
After pacifying the rebels, Tuoba hurried back to the Golden Palace, eating and listening to his subordinates' reports.
"There are some herders with their cattle, sheep and tents, who are planning to leave Qingyun."
"If they love to go, let them go." Tuoba Yan took a bite of the naan cake and said disdainfully, "We Qingyun don't have such people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. ”
"There are also some people, walking around the rumors, that the Tuoba family has been cursed by the Red Crow Heavenly God......"
"Nonsense!" Tuoba Yan immediately decided, "Arrest these people and put them in prison." ”
Tuoba Ling listened on the sidelines, frowning slightly, and said, "This is not good, but it will cause panic among the herdsmen." Start by keeping an eye on these people and warning them not to talk nonsense. We need to bring in the Grand Wizard and perform the ceremony as soon as possible. ”
Tuoba Yan nodded, and waved his hand to pull back. Tuoba Ling looked at his younger brother distressedly, he was so busy from morning to night that he didn't even have time to eat. He is no longer a child who does nothing on the steppe and only hunts all day. He finally realized the power and duty of being a khan.
"Khan!" Another person came to report, "According to the news from the spies, Mozang Dag has withdrawn its troops from the Central Plains and is coming in the direction of Qingyun. ”
It's still here when it's supposed to come. Tuoba Yan and his brother Tuoba Ling glanced at each other, only to feel that the pressure was huge.
At this moment, another soldier came in from outside, and he reported: "Khan, the great wizard is here. ”
"Please!" Tuoba wiped his mouth, put down the half-eaten meal, and got up to go to the main hall to greet the great wizard.
