Chapter Eighty-Seven: The King of Donghu
Old Kim had just returned to the tent, drunk some fruit and had just undressed under the service of the old servant. Hearing Murong Shenxing arguing loudly with the old servant outside, Lao Jin's brows furrowed. Murong Sanxing is Murong Tuoba's nephew, and he is also known for his stability in the Murong clan. Today, I actually quarreled with my old servant in the middle of the night, something unusual must have happened.
"Ayi, don't quarrel and let Murong Shenxing come in." Lao Jin, who was lying on the blanket, said loudly.
The old servant Ayi was arguing with Murong Shenxing, but he didn't expect the master to speak. He glared at Murong Sanxing fiercely, his master was worried about Donghu's future these days. The elderly don't get much sleep in the first place, and they haven't slept a single sleep these days. Now that he has just fallen asleep, he is disturbed by this kid in front of him, how can he not be angry.
Murong Shenxing pushed Ayi away and said, "Don't stare at me, this incident is related to the life and death of the entire Donghu clan." If you are delayed, the head man will light you with a sky lantern. After saying that, Murong Shenxing entered the tent, and Ayi followed in with a sip.
When the Chinese girl who was in the quilt for Lao Jin Nuan saw a Donghu man come in, she was so shy that she got into the blanket and didn't dare to come forward. It's just that a pair of white feet are exposed outside the blanket, which looks very dazzling.
"Great Elder, I just got the scout's reward. The combined forces of the Yun family and the Yiqu people have appeared less than sixty miles to the south, and the Hun army has also been found in the north. The number is unknown, but the scouts estimate that there are at least 100,000 people. The big head asks you to hurry up and discuss the matter in the big tent, and the other heads have already sent someone to invite them. You ......"
"Ayi! Hurry up and dress me. Lao Jin immediately got out of the bed, and the snow-white back of the Huaxia girl flashed in Murong Sanxing's eyes.
Lao Jin was thinking while getting dressed, and it was late in the winter day. It was now at least four hours before dawn, and if the Huaxia were to attack them with all their might, it was likely that their cavalry would sneak up at dawn. Fortunately, the scouts of the Murong family found them, otherwise if they were really attacked in the early morning when they were most sleepy, the consequences would be unimaginable. If the Xiongnu and the Chinese acted in unison, maybe the Xiongnu would also intervene. Almost 100,000 Huns, that would be a catastrophe.
After hurriedly getting dressed, Lao Jin took the guards who came to follow Murong Shenxing to the big tent. Murong Tuoba and many disheveled leaders were already waiting there, and they all got up when they saw the arrival of the Great Elder.
"Forget it, when are you still sticking to this etiquette. We are not polite Chinese! Big head, tell me what's going on. Lao Jin waved his hand and asked Murong Tuoba urgently.
"The scouts sent out by my family were seventy or eighty miles away and discovered the Qin army. There are not only the banners of the Qin army, but also the banners of the Yiqu people and the Yun family. The army was numerous, and the black-pressed team was at a glance. If nothing else, we are now less than fifty miles away. Great Elder, let's see what to do. Murong Tuoba said anxiously.
"What's going on with the Huns in the north?" Lao Jin was calm, and he was not too panicked after listening to Murong Tuoba's words. What he is afraid of is a two-sided attack, if there are only Huaxia people, it is still easy to deal with. At least if you can't beat it, you can still run.
"According to the recent return of the scouts, there also seem to be many Huns in the north. The scouts say there are more than 100,000 people! "The cultural level of the Donghu people is generally not high, and many tribes are still in the stage of knotting ropes. Their hundreds of thousands of people are actually an adjective, which means that there are a lot of Huns. When Lao Jin heard this, his face couldn't help but change greatly.
"I mean, assemble the team right away. Wait, today is the weather of the full moon and the sky is not dark. If the Chinese people have the idea of stealing camps, we must make them look good. The distance between the Huns is about 100 miles, so let's leave it at that. Murong Tuoba saw that Lao Jin's face changed drastically, and immediately said what he thought.
"Hmmm! So they did it, and sent the Xi people to the north to monitor the Huns. Let's lead the army to the south to meet the Huaxia people, no matter what, we can't let the Huaxia people sneak attack. Lao Jin nodded in response.
"I mean, when dawn we're going to go south and defeat the Huaxia. Then, according to Song'er's idea last night, let's go straight south and return to Longyou. Murong Tuoba saw that Lao Jin meant the same as himself, and immediately said his next thought.
"It's just ......" Lao Jin hesitated, and the Huaxia people were not easy to deal with. Whoever goes to take the lead will suffer heavy losses, and these patriarchs in front of them are all shrinking back one by one, for fear that Murong Tuoba and Lao Jin will assign them to take the lead.
"It's all this time, and we can't hesitate for a moment. I'm a big head, and that's how it was decided. I, the Murong clan, am willing to charge forward for the army, and I will personally lead the team. From now on, all tribes are controlled by the Great Elder. Great Elder, the fate of the Donghu clan is in your hands. If it's me...... You have to live with the Donghu clan. Murong Tuoba held Lao Jin's hand and said. His eyes were already full of tears, and Lao Jin couldn't help but be moved.
In the end, it was the big man elected by Donghu, and he has been suppressing Murong Tuoba with his prestige all these years. Unexpectedly, at this time, it was Murong Tuoba who took the initiative to charge forward. Lao Jin felt indescribable excitement in his heart, and his old hand, which was as dry as a branch, turned over and held Murong Tuoba's hand and said, "Big man, I'm sorry for you all these years." Please let the old man bow down! ”
After speaking, Lao Jin threw away his crutches and knelt at Murong Tuoba's feet. All the Donghu patriarchs, heads, and elders all knelt at Murong Tuoba's feet. At this moment, Murong Tuoba is the real king of Donghu.
"Even if the Murong clan is all killed, they will have to fight a bloody way out for our Donghu. Join the stars, bring the wine! Murong Tuoba was arrogant, he roared all his life Murong Shenxing and Murong Song walked in with a few members of the Murong clan, one holding a large jar of Yun family spirits.
Patting the sealing mud, the refreshing aroma of wine immediately permeated the big tent. A row of clay bowls were placed on the table, and the richly scented spirits were poured into it. Murong Tuoba picked up a bowl of wine, his eyes were firm and he shouted loudly: "For Donghu!" With that, a whole bowl of spirits was dried.
Lao Jin was so excited that he swayed, and his trembling hand picked up the wine bowl and spilled a lot. Ayi was just about to help, but was kicked out by Lao Jin. "For Donghu! Dry! After speaking, he tilted his neck and poured in a large bowl of spirits. Lao Jin's face was as red as a boiled crab, and his wolf-like eyes looked at the head man in the military tent, the elders, and the patriarchs and roared loudly: "From now on, whoever disobeys the big man will be against my old Jin." The whole clan will punish him! ”
"The whole clan will punish it!" The patriarchs, elders, and chiefs were infected by the atmosphere. They all picked up the wine bowl in front of them and poured them down with a tilt of their necks. Tomorrow is the day of the bloody battle, and the big-headed people actually rushed with arrows for Donghu. This love was received by the entire Donghu tribe. Murong Tuoba's prestige suddenly rose several levels among the Donghu people.
A dull trumpet sounded, and the Donghu people were awakened in their sleep. The patriarchs were trying their best to organize their subordinates, and a group of Donghu soldiers lined up in a line, bowed and unsheathed, and waited for them if the Chinese dared to attack, they would definitely have no return. Under the moonlight, the Donghu camp was full of murderous atmosphere, and Murong Tuoba took the Murong clan's people to the front.
In order to fight for his life this time, the Murong clan also fought hard. They actually handed over their captures to other tribes to take care of, and Murong Tuoba meant that every descendant of the Murong clan needed to devote themselves to the attack. Even able-bodied women and children who could ride horses joined in the charge.
Lao Jin was moved, don't want it, chimpanzee patted his chest and promised. As long as any guy dared to stretch out his claws to Murong Clan's property, he would personally chop off that guy's claws and throw them on the grassland to feed the wolves.
The Donghu clan has been mobilized, and everyone is in a state of war. Under the silver moon, the murderous aura of hundreds of thousands of people soared into the sky.
A black line appeared on the distant horizon, which was unexpected by the Donghu people. The movement speed of the black line was not open, and the army of the Huaxia clan moved slowly in the moonlight. After a long time, when the sky was slightly brighter. The black lines turn into small black dots.
Lao Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time had some regret. It seems that the Huaxia people did not have any intention of stealing the camp, judging from the combat readiness of the Donghu people at this time. If they come to steal the camp, they will definitely hit their heads and bleed.
The black dots grew bigger and bigger until they became faces. The fiery red sun rose in the east, dyeing the two sinister teams a blood-red color. Maybe today is a day of killing, but I don't know how many people will see it tomorrow when the sun rises.
The Qin soldiers and horses bathed in the cold winter sun all breathed white air and stopped at a distance of four or five miles from the Donghu people. The slanting sun stretched their shadows long.
Lao Jin looked around, and there was a big banner of Qin characters with white characters on a black background in the opposite team. There are also banners of the Yiqu people, and at the front of the team, there is a cloud banner with black characters on a red background. The scarlet banner fluttered in the cold wind of the early morning, and the sun shone brighter on the flag even more blood-red.
"Is that the army of the Pingliang Yun family?" Although he had been to Pingliang City, Lao Jin had not seen the Yun family's army in the field group battle. He muttered to himself.
"Yes, that's Pingliang's army. How many of our sons have perished at their hands. Today, I'm going to meet them for real. Murong Tuoba let out a breath of white air and looked at the cloud-shaped banner on the opposite side viciously. At this time, there was a person under the same cloud word who was watching them. The man was holding a strange object in his hand, and he was pointing as he looked at it.
PS: I recommend a novel, the historical essay "The Terminator", the writing is good, the plot is new, you can go and see it. (To be continued.) )
