Chapter 379: The Tangles of Bunton
The news of LΓΌ Peng's dispatch to the grassland had reached the royal court of Bundun, and after his gathering order was issued, the slow tribes in the south had already suffered a catastrophe, not only by LΓΌ Peng's army, but also by those pervasive horse bandits.
And the most headache is Lu Peng's killing order.
Originally, Bun Dun thought that it was just a very boring joke of Lu Peng, who would really take out real money to exchange for that useless head? Who would have thought that Lu Peng's Youzhou Mansion would really implement this policy firmly, and buy Wuhuan's head from the border with great fanfare.
Now, not only the Han people in those border areas tried every means to hunt human heads, but also the Xianbei people joined this trade at this time, and began to enter their own territory in groups of three or five, killing and hunting their own people, their methods were more cruel, and the harm to the Wuhuan people was greater.
He sent messengers several times, like Xianbei Da Danyu to negotiate, but the result was not to the end, but there was a tendency to intensify.
Now, the population of Wuhuan is plummeting at a speed that is visible to the human eye, and if it continues to decline at this rate, the people who are born and grown up will definitely not be able to keep up with the losses, especially the heads of women and children who are favored by those hunters, and the entire tribe will slowly damage its vitality.
If things go on like this, in fact, there is no need for Lu Peng to attack him, and within twenty or thirty years, his Wuhuan clan will be wiped out.
And just when he was in a hurry, Wuyan's defeat had already made him know, and this was the only one that made him happy among the countless bad news.
Uyan had sent a messenger to report to Bandun the news of his tribe's arrival in the north, which made Badun happy and worried.
Happily, Wu Yan finally bowed to himself, after he was seriously weakened by Lu Peng, he no longer had the ability to compete with himself, as long as he entered his sphere of influence, annexed him, and achieved his goal of completely eliminating the troubles of dissidents.
The worry is that Wuyan's tribe has a population of nearly 100,000, but almost all of them are old and weak women and children, this is 100,000 mouths, and he has compensated almost all the cattle, sheep and horses to Lu Peng, these 100,000 mouths need to be supported by themselves, which is definitely a huge burden.
Now there are no less than 300,000 people gathered in the camp of Tatun, and in such a small area, gathering so many people has begun to make Bandun feel overwhelmed, if you add these 100,000 people who eat and drink for nothing, it is really difficult for him to continue.
It is not a way to always put together like this, and it is necessary to release this tribe again and go to a wider area to graze and hunt, otherwise this winter, it will put your tribe in a desperate situation.
"Now, we must form a large army to find Lu Peng for a decisive battle and annihilate all the horse bandits who enter the grassland, otherwise, we will destroy the country and the species." Badun painfully proposed his decision to Ding Li.
Ding Li said indifferently: "It is necessary to send troops, otherwise let Lu Peng toss like this, we will be completely dragged down by him sooner or later, but if we want to send troops, we must solve our worries, that is, the upcoming Wuyan tribe, if we reorganize the army and go to war, Wuyan will do something behind us, we will be beaten into a situation from which we will never recover." β
"Yes, Uyan has become a big problem for my henchmen, and this abscess is always hard for me to sleep if it is not removed."
"You must use a quick knife to cut through the mess and solve it, otherwise, after all, it will be a long night." Now Ding Li is the most anxious, he has been in the grassland for nearly three years, seeing Lu Peng continue to grow step by step, if it continues like this, after giving Lu Peng two years, his desire to avenge the Ding family will be completely desperate.
It is very painful, and an internal strife is inevitable, but no matter what, the dead and injured will be their own people, and the damage will be the vitality of their own clan.
But if you want to let go of your hands and feet and fight with Lu Peng, decide the victory, and achieve the goal of rushing into Youzhou and occupying Youzhou, this internal strife and fire fight cannot be avoided, this is what the Han people say about a strong man breaking his wrist.
"What should I do according to the gentleman?"
"Da Danyu, you send a messenger now, order Wuyan's tribe to stop at Haocaochuan, and then order Wuyan and his fifth and seventeenth brothers to come to the royal court to discuss matters, if the three of them come, then cut down and kill them to prevent future troubles."
"What if they don't come?"
Ding Li smiled and said: "The current Wuyan is already at the end of the road, even if it is dangerous, he will definitely come." "The human heart is basically like this, when a person enters the end of the road, everything is involuntarily.
Uyan was frowning with the general.
The name alone seems to be very beautiful, but in fact, the good grass river is just the herdsmen's good expectations for this place, where it is simply a piece of saline-alkali land, which can be described as a lack of grass.
And this place is within the core sphere of influence of Bunton, surrounded by the tribe of Bunton, once you enter, you will immediately become surrounded by enemies, and become a turtle in an urn.
And if you don't go, where can there be a place for the big grassland?
"Sir, now that I'm in a dilemma, what should I do?" Wu Yan had now taken Tian Chou into account of his main adviser, and he couldn't leave for a moment.
Tian Chou, who was caged and knelt on the thick fur, was also in a tangled and painful face. Difficult comment: "Badun, I have already tried to see the dagger, this is a made up my mind, to swallow us in one bite, originally the king you can lie down and taste the gall, endure the anger of this moment, how can this time, Da Shan Yu let all three of your brothers go to the royal court to visit, his heart has been revealed, that is, he wants to let your three brothers catch them all, and then completely annex our race." β
"You're too anxious." Wu Yan gritted his teeth and said: "However, I can only grit my teeth dryly, but there is no way, this is myself for the fish, others for the board, this is the sorrow of the fish."
"Actually, it's not like there's no solution." Tian Chou smiled indifferently, showing Wu Yan a glimmer of hope.
Wu Yan was like a man who fell into the water, and suddenly found a shining straw in front of him, and hurriedly grabbed Tian Chou's hand: "Sir, is there any way?" β
Tian Chou said with a smile: "After Qiu Liju died, he took the throne, and he once sent troops to help Yuan Shao attack Gongsun Zhan, and Yuan Shao conveyed the reward of the Han court, and gave Nanlou, Su Fuyan, Wuyan and your three kings the title and seal. I remember that at that time, you and Su Muyan did not accept this kind of obvious knighthood to sow discord, but Nanlou accepted the title of this big single Yu, can there be such a thing? β
Wu Yan nodded and replied: "This is true, at that time, the Han Dynasty rewarded the three of us as Da Dan Yu, which was originally ill-intentioned and provoked the contradictory relationship between us and Bun Dun, at that time, Su Fuyan and I thought about the overall situation and rejected this obvious trap, but Nan Lou accepted the title of this Da Shan Yu, only later, in order to unify Wu Huan, Bun Dun asked the two of us, the three of them joined forces, and the soldiers pressed the border, so that Nan Lou was forced to cancel the title of Da Shan Yu, and the Han on the foot, the seal ribbon rewarded by the imperial court. β
"What does that mean?" Tian Chou asked step by step.
Xiao Seventeen's eyes lit up: "This shows that Nanlou has ambitions." β
"Yes." Tian Chou suddenly got up, strode to the front of the simple map in the big tent, pointed to a place in the east and said: "Nanlou in the era of Qiu Liju, was sealed to control Yuyang, the tribes along the border of the three counties of Youbeiping and Shanggu, his subordinates controlled nearly 1,000 tribes, and the population was no less than 300,000, after Qiu Liju died, he moved these 300,000 tribes to the north, and directly forced the edge of the Dao Dun royal court, and its purpose has been revealed. Kill Foot Don is self-reliant. β
Wu Yan actually knew about this for a long time, but he still didn't know what Tian Chou meant.
"Since Badun wants to attack us now, we might as well take refuge in the difficult building now, and then persuade him to attack Badun."
Wu Yan gasped, if he took all his clansmen to the subordinates of Nanlou, although he was exhausted, how many people could still piece together a team of 10,000 or 20,000 people, and use this team to enhance the strength of Nanlou, in fact, without his own agitation, Nanlou might rebel. However, although he will survive under the protection of the difficult building, a disaster for Wuhuan is inevitable.
In terms of the national disaster and his choice of survival, Wuyan finally chose to survive, so he made a decisive decision: "I will bring enough gold, silver and jewelry now, and go to the Nanlou in person to seek refuge." Then after praying silently to the heavens: "I hope that I can be comfortable and give up his ambition for the sake of the whole race in the face of this foreign enemy." β
Tian Chou secretly sneered in his heart: "People's desires are endless, once people's ambitions grow, just like the vines, they can no longer be cut off, with your joining, it can only give birth to more crazy growth of ambitions, Wuyan, your hope will not be realized." β
When he returned to his tent, he hurriedly wrote a letter and called one of his personal guards, this is the captain of a brocade guard team sent by Lu Peng to Tian Chou's side to protect his safety: "You handed this letter to our lord overnight, please don't oppress it too much for the time being, and wait for a big chaos inside Wuhuan." β
The squad leader hesitated: "If I leave, who is responsible for the safety of Mr.?" β
Tian Chou laughed: "You can rest assured about this, I can't kill people, but there is no problem with self-preservation, you just need to complete the task." β
