The plan of this southern invasion Tuoba Shishu was perfectly planned, and in addition, Tuoba Shishu also gained some things that were not planned by himself. Just as Tuoba Shi Shu was designing the plan for the entire southern invasion process, Tong Lifu found him late one night. Tuoba Shishu remembers very well that when he came to look for him that day, it was snowing heavily on the grassland, which was already a little spring. After the incident, Tuoba Shi Shu frowned and thought about it in his mind for a long time, and finally found an accurate word to describe the strange weather that day, that is, in the words of the Han people: it was a cold spring.

Tuoba Shi Shu clearly remembered that day, after entering his account, he shook off the snow on his body at the door of the tent without saying a word, and then handed over his coat to the next person before entering the inner account. Then he motioned to Tuoba Shishu to put down the curtain of the inner account, and at the same time drove all the servants of the inner account out, and then sat cross-legged beside Tuoba Shishu, holding Tuoba Shishu's hand and saying to him eagerly. ：

"Do you want to know the location of the khan on the steppe?"

As soon as this sentence came out, Tuoba Shi Shu almost threw the pen in his hand directly, Tuoba Shi Shu looked at Tong Lifushi with a frightened face and said to him: "My lord, don't be joking. I am only able to achieve this position thanks to the appreciation of Shibi Khan, how can I covet the Khan position and become this usurper? I have decided to devote all my life to assisting Shibi Khan in spreading the prestige of the Turks throughout the world, so that all enemies will be terrified of us; Let our Turkic tribes go to the warmer south to graze when the cold winter comes. Of course, at the same time, I also want to avenge my father's revenge in Mayi County, but I don't dare to have any transgressions, I just want to do my best to support Shibi Khan to ascend to the throne of Heavenly Khan, the king of kings. ”

"Alright, Tuoba Shishu. Since I have come to you today, I am certainly not here to probe your mouth, you must know that the whole grassland is singing the praises of your loyalty to my brother. As the younger brother of the first wife of the Khan, I should serve him faithfully. But as a Turk, I would rather see the Turks strong, which the Khan could not do. But I see in you a greater ambition, and at the same time you have the ability to match that ambition. The ability to train a formidable army in such a short period of time and still maintain the loyalty of that army to Sbi Khan is invaluable. So I see in you the future of the Turks, and unlike my brother, who only knew how to grovel to the Han Chinese, you have the power to match the golden-headed wolf on our banner. Therefore, for the sake of the future of the Turks, I am willing to assist you in ascending to the throne of Khan and replace my brother. Then he led us Turks south to punish the Han Chinese who had committed unforgivable crimes against us. After hearing Tuoba Shishu's words, he laughed out loud for a while, but after quickly adjusting his mood, he said eagerly to Tuoba Shishu.

"My lord, why are you doing this? In any case, Shibi Khan is your brother after all. Tuoba Shishu still did not believe that Philovoshi was willing to prop up an outsider to replace his brother as the ruler of the entire steppe.

"Tuoba Shishu, I thought you were also an understanding person. But you have lived in the cultural circle of the Han people for a long time, why have you become like those Han people? Why did I support you to replace my brother? There is only one reason, unlike the twists and turns in the hearts of those Han people, we grassland people are born to only believe in the strong, and we believe in the principle of respecting the strong. We never pay attention to the origin of the bloodline, and my brother cannot lead the Turks to a stronger future, on the contrary, he may even lead the Turks downhill! So as a Turk, I naturally want to think about the future of the Turks. After all, the Ashina clan is not a clan that only knows how to sit and eat empty mountains. As the descendants of the wolf, Ashina naturally wants to lead all the people to become strong, and whoever can bring us hope for prosperity is the Khan enshrined by our Turks. If any of the khans does not bring us strength, and may even drag our entire tribe into the abyss, then all the tribes will stand up against the tyrant! I've told you everything I need to say, and it's up to you how to choose. But in any case, please be sure to give me a definite answer before sending troops south. With that, he stood up without hesitation, and prepared to turn and walk out of the tent.

At this time, Tuoba Shi Shu gently put the document in his hand on the table. Looking at the back of Philip slowly moving away, he said to him, "I can give it a try." If you really dare to bet the future of the Turks on a foreigner. ”

A subtle smile appeared on the face of Tuoba Shi Shu with his back to Tuoba Shi Shu at this time, but it quickly disappeared into his solemn expression, without showing the slightest trace. He turned his head and smiled kindly at the mop, then took a few steps back, walked back to Tuoba Shishu, and said with a deep salute, "Dear Khan, I will do everything in my power to help you ascend to the throne of Khan and lead our Turkic tribe to a stronger future." ”

Tuoba Shishu hurriedly stood up and helped him to say to him: "I have heard that in the steppe, all the people are like brothers to each other, and even all the herdsmen only respect the Khan rather than respect. You trust me so much that you entrust me with the future of the entire Turks. So from today onwards I am a real Turk, as Turks we are brothers, let's forget all these polite red tape. ”

After the two of them exchanged pleasantries, he asked Tuoba Shishu and said, "So, how are you going to take the throne of Shibi Khan?" ”

"I haven't figured out the specific idea yet, but what I do know is that the Buraku people are still very supportive of Shibi Khan. If we act rashly, it is likely to cause new rifts to arise in the interior that we have already split once. By that time, there will be a large number of young and middle-aged people who will be consumed in the senseless civil war, and the final benefit will undoubtedly be those Han people south of the Great Wall. So I'll need a few days to sort these issues out one by one. Tuoba Shishu said to Phillips.
