"Are the Huns gone? This is Yan County in the population of the Central Plains, in the central part of Youzhou, far from the land of the Huns, I didn't expect their scouts to appear here, so it seems that our Xianbei battle, the Huns are also waiting. ”

In the north of Yan County, where the jungle meets the low mountains, a group of people and horses are scattered here.

"Haoshuai, where are we going? This has been running westward for so long, and many of the clansmen have been separated, and many of the clansmen's wounds have not been healed by the sorcerer, and they are already difficult to treat! ”

In the center of the centaurs, a tall and strong man complained to another young man with a rough face and a beard, and there was a hint of forcible anger in his words.

The young man stared at the strong man with a fierce gaze like a wild wolf, and said, "Bo Luo Neng, I know what you mean, you want to go north, join Yuwen's people, and then go back to the Murong family to take revenge, after all, your two sons died at Murong's hands!" His voice was low and buzzing, as if the sky was thundering before a storm.

The strong man called Bo Luo Neng, gritted his teeth, and did not have the slightest intention of concealing it, he nodded heavily, and then said: "Yes, the Murong clan is destined to die this time, but they are dying and struggling, killing my bloodline, if I don't take revenge, I will be ridiculed in the future!" Hao Shuai, we can be a Bo Zhen tribe, suffered such a great shame, you don't want to take revenge, but with your clansmen, you gave up women, old people, cattle and sheep, fled all the way west, and you can't raise your head in the grassland in the future! ”

There were many people next to him, who were already gathered here, listening to the arguments between the two leaders of the tribe, but when they heard this, their expressions changed one by one, and they felt that the atmosphere became solemn.

The bearded young man was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, he pointed at Bo Luoneng, shook his head and said, "What do you think will happen to us after we return to the Yuwen Department?" Tell me the miserable things, let the Yuwen Ministry give me soldiers and horses, treat me with disabilities, and let me go back to take revenge? How is this possible! Let's go back with the remnants of the defeated army, the first thing the Yuwen Department did was to take in our warriors, you said I don't care about women and children, but I feel that I go back, women, can I still be there? Don't be naïve! ”

This person was originally sitting on a stone, but when he said this, he suddenly got up, his eyes swept over the others present, and said slowly: "The people of the Murong family, after defeating us, killed and injured a lot, this is hatred, but the one who can really destroy us is actually that Yuwen!" I'm a thin man, since my father's father's generation, I've been running back and forth for the Ubunbu, what is it for? It's not that it's better to join their tribe and become one of them than to be subordinate, to be driven repeatedly, but what is the result? As a result, up to now, I'm just a handsome, to put it nicely, this handsome is a single man, leading the tribe, but to put it mildly, his Yuwen family doesn't regard us as their own people at all! ”

This bearded young man is the leader of the Xianbei Kebo Zhenbu, and the Sujituo who was given the name of Haoshuai by the Yuwen Ministry.

The title of Hao Shuai actually comes from the Han Dynasty and can be traced back to before Xianbei was fully developed.

The earliest Xianbei clan, in fact, is the same as Wuhuan, is composed of Luo, Yi Luo and the department, the Yi has a small handsome, the department has an adult, later in the reign of Tan Shihuai, he will be Xianbei each Yi with the force of forced unity, has a vast sphere of influence, east from Liaodong, west to Dunhuang, south to the Han Dynasty, north to the Ele, and then divided into three sixty yi, and reform its system.

After the death of Tanshi Huai, although the system it built collapsed, it still had a profound impact on the Xianbei clan, the original adult election system, was replaced by the hereditary system, and will be canonized by the Han Dynasty of various names absorbed, the name of the handsome comes.

On top of this handsome, it is Shan Yu and Khan, but the size of the handsome is also differentiated, and until now, it is no longer the Han court that has given canonization, but by the Shan Yu and Khan of the big tribes.

This Sujita's grandfather led the original men and horses to the Yuwen Department, and was awarded the position of gatekeeper, and then took this as his surname, and also got the name of a handsome.

But Bo Zhen is exactly the meaning of "gatekeeper" in Xianbei language.

His words aroused a little thought of the people around him, the people here are almost all blood relatives of the Ke Bo Zhen clan, because the Ke Bo Zhen tribe is a small clan, so they are not even qualified to form a tribal alliance, within a clan, there is only one surname in power, Su Jituo's grandfather, is their blood relatives, and some are even direct blood relatives.

But Bo Zhen's long-cherished wish, of course these people know, but in the past twenty years, no matter what they do, how they were born and died for Yuwen, how many cattle, sheep, and women they got as rewards, but what they really wanted, they never got it-

"Now, I have completely given up my plan to join Yuwen, I have accumulated so many things in the past and can't get them, how can I get them now? What's more, sending our clan to monitor Murong this time was already a dangerous move, before this, I had looked for a major general, but I couldn't change Shan Yu's mind at all. ”

When Sujita spoke, his eyes seemed to be on fire again, and the seeds of hatred were growing.

"So, where can we go without Yuwen?" Bo Luo Neng was still unwilling, his children died on the battlefield, and the safety of the tribe could not fully convince him.

"So I'm taking you west along this sideline!" Sujita walked to the front and pointed to the distant land, "To the west, there is our home. ”

"You want to go to Middle-earth?" Bo Luo Neng was a little incomprehensible, "We can't even defeat Murong, how can we challenge Middle-earth?" That's a few big tribes, they have no choice but to surrender, and they are also subservient to Wang Jun, then Wang Jun is just a frontier leader in Middle-earth, Middle-earth is too powerful, how can we provoke? It's impossible to take root over there. ”

On the side, another person nodded and said: "Hao Shuai, this Middle Earth has accepted a lot of tribes for decades, but I heard that those tribes were finally scattered and scattered everywhere, and now the Xiongnu who originally defected to the Han Dynasty raised the flag of rebellion, I think the Central Plains people will not easily believe us." ”

Another person said: "At the border between the grassland and the Central Plains, there are many tribesmen who live and reproduce, but they are scattered, not strong tribes, without the support of the tribes, they are like lone wolves on the grassland, and sooner or later they will die silently, but the Han court will not allow any tribes to entrench themselves in the frontier." ”

In the end, it is the upper level of a tribe, even if it is not a top tribe like Murong and Yuwen, but the information they have come into contact with is still far more than that of ordinary herdsmen, and they have a more comprehensive understanding of the affairs of this Xinjiang.

"You misunderstood, I'm not talking about the Han land," Su Jituo shook his head and pointed to the north again, "Murong is in Xianbei, almost in the easternmost place, in Liaodong, and the Duan Department is in the west of Murong and the northeast of Youzhou, but since Pingzhou was opened up by Wang Jun, part of the Duan Department stayed in Pingzhou, and part of it moved north, so the contradiction with Murong is getting bigger and bigger, and the Yuwen Department was originally located in the north of the two departments, and there was contact with both sides, but because of Murong's growth and the northward movement of the Duan Department, they had to migrate, Moving further north and west, the reason why we did not retreat from the grassland was because from Murong to the west, it was either the Duan Department or the Yuwen Department, and it was impossible to get around it at all, so we would borrow this northern line of Youzhou! ”

"Borrow?"

A few people on the side noticed the word.

Su Jituo nodded and said: "Of course it's a loan, even if our tribe still has some combat strength, but it is definitely not the opponent of the Han court, of course I will not take you to death, this move is just a prelude, we are the Xianbei species, Yuwen is because Yuwen is powerful, and the defeat to Murong is because Murong is strong, but the Xianbei tribe, not only Yuwen and Murong, but in the west of the grassland, there are also powerful tribes!" ”

Na Bo Neng had a flash of inspiration in his heart and said, "Are you going to go to Tuoba?" ”

"Yes, Tuoba Xianbei lives in the west, can compete with the Xiongnu without falling behind, can grow stronger day by day, and has a close relationship with the imperial court, if you can take refuge, why fear Yuwen and Murong?" Su Jituo's face showed a touch of yearning, "I have traveled thousands of miles, if we get it, we may be able to enter its department, of course, we are outsiders after all, we don't need to think about this in a short time, but even if we can't, there is the protection of the Tuoba Department, and there is a vast grassland, and we will soon be able to grow again, and those women and children who have lost will also be replenished, as long as we have horses under our crotches and knives in our hands!" ”

"But we lost a lot! Now I'm afraid there are only more than 3,000 people," Bo Luo Neng obviously still didn't give up, "and lost so many soldiers and horses, all the way to the west, even more tired, in order to avoid the Han Ting's troops, but also lost a lot of horses, and when they arrived at the Tuoba Department, I don't know how many people will be left, two thousand?" Thousand? Do you think that a thousand people will be looked at by the people of the Tuoba family? ”

"So we won't go straight over," Sujita sat down again, "we'll come with gifts, and we'll bring enough tribute!" ”

When he said this, everyone understood.

"Which place do you want to pick?" Could it be this Yan County? But if we loot and bring gifts over, and Han Ting investigates it afterwards, he Tuoba Xianbei can't bear the pressure, maybe he will hand us over instead! Even Polon looked excited, they needed something uplifting.

"There will be chaos in the north, and when the tribes dance wildly, there will be many injuries, and the border counties in the middle will of course be invaded, not my clan alone, but if it is done late, then it can only grab the residue, and as long as the Tuoba Department is also ambitious, it will not hand us over, otherwise which one on the grassland will dare to take refuge in him? On the contrary, only by accepting us and others can we give an example to the side clans, in the next few melees, the scattered small clans will inevitably be re-submitted, and then find a place to live, it is impossible for the Tuoba tribe to be without ideas! ”

When everyone heard what he said and knew that it had been carefully considered, they became more and more excited and asked about the target.

"A few days ago, I sent scouts to explore the surrounding counties, and I have a plan in mind."
