Chapter 134 Vertical and Horizontal
"How can this be true, they really treat me as a child?"
Qi Fuli looked at the leather scroll in his hand, clenched his fists and slammed the table, his pale face was full of coldness, and his eyes flashed with anger.
Just now, the five tribes of Murong, Yuwen, Duanbu, Tuoba, Bald, and Tugu jointly issued an alliance document, saying that for the sake of the tribal alliance, all parties handed over a certain amount of grain, cattle, sheep, and weapons to form a coalition to discuss the matter of "hunting".
And this so-called "hunting" is actually to go south to plunder the Qin State in order to survive the winter because of the shortage of food.
At this time of the year, the major tribes of Donghu would also unite to plunder southward, and the rations they plundered were divided equally, and the weapons and cattle and sheep, women and the like were plundered by whom.
But Qi Fuli saw that this time the coalition army not only had to provide soldiers and horses, but also he had to hand over war horses and food.
And this is completely beyond the scope of the coalition army, and several other tribes see that he has just succeeded to the throne and want to extort a fortune.
But that amount was nearly one-third of the resources of the entire beggar tribe.
How does this make him not angry?
At this time, the tent outside the big bag was quietly opened, and Liang Rugu walked in wearing a leather jacket and carrying his hands, and glanced at the beggar Li who was seated in surprise.
He asked, "Why are you angry?" β
Hearing Liang Rugu's voice, Qi Fu Li walked down quickly with the leather scroll, and then handed it into Liang Rugu's hands.
"Good teacher, take a look, these people are really unreasonable!" As he spoke, Qi Fu Li snorted coldly.
Liang Rugu hurriedly spread out the leather scroll in his hand, looked at it carefully, and then frowned tightly.
"If you don't pay this, I guess it will definitely give them an excuse, maybe you can use this to unite against me. And if we hand it over, our tribe will definitely lose its vitality, and no matter whether we can loot it or not, we won't have a good time this winter. β
"Once this winter passes, their strength will definitely be greatly reduced, and whether they can stand firm in the position of this tribal alliance at that time is a question!"
Qi Fu Li said with his hands down, but because of his anger, there was some more blood on his pale face.
Liang Rugu did not speak after listening to Qi Fuli's words, but closed his eyes in thought.
After a long time, he opened his mouth and said: "Open and close at four o'clock to turn everything vertically and horizontally, can the son know the word vertically and horizontally?" β
Qi Fu Li was a little stunned when he heard this, but he still replied as usual: "How do you not know this? A hundred years ago, Su Qin once united with "the people of the world to gather in Zhao and wanted to attack Qin", this is longitudinal! β
Then Zhang Yi sent an envoy to the state of Chu on behalf of Qin, and tricked the king of Chu into an alliance with Qin, and then quietly came out of the state of Qi, causing the two countries of Qi and Chu to fight each other. Qin successively joined forces with Qi and Chu to sabotage the joint vertical tactics of the Seven Kingdoms, which is a succession! β
"It's just that I don't know what the good teacher asked me about the meaning of this, can it be used for other tribes?" Beggar Li wondered.
"Childe only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other." Liang Rugu nodded and smiled: "Since they are united, then we can connect horizontally." β
"And the target of this continuum is not necessarily the other five tribes."
"What do you mean, sir?"
"Why can we unite with the Huns!" Liang Rugu said with a smile.
"Huns!" Qi Fuli was a little stunned: "How can the Xiongnu unite?" That's a mortal enmity with our entire Donghu. β
"Regardless of whether he is an ally or an enemy, as long as he can solve the dilemma in front of him, he can unite."
After listening to Liang Rugu's words, Qi Fu Li always felt that he had grasped something, but he still didn't understand, so he asked directly: "Please sir!" β
"The way of alliance is not necessarily to unite, as long as it can be connected with the power of the Xiongnu. Liang Rugu said.
"Since the other five ministries have jointly pressured us to hand over certain resources, then we can send heavy troops with weapons, cattle, sheep, food, etc. Then directly send troops to the Huns, go directly to the Huns to plunder, and then it can also relieve the survival pressure of the tribe. β
"And the plundered Xiongnu will definitely send troops to attack, and then the other five will unite with us to resist, which is equivalent to using the power of the Xiongnu to weaken the strength of the other five."
"And the best outcome after that is that we will benefit from it, and at worst, even if we get out of control, we can weaken the other five tribes to a certain extent and bring us closer."
"When the time comes, they will not even think of the idea of annexing us."
After listening to Liang Rugu's strategy, Qi Fuli thought about it for a while and found that it was indeed feasible. But immediately I noticed that something was wrong.
"Good teacher, if you want the Huns to raise most of their forces to invade us, then we must plunder and invade deep enough. But it is not easy to invade the Huns. β
Liang Rugu seemed to anticipate Qi Fuli's worries, and said with a smile: "Childe, do you know what happened when I came to you just now?" β
Beggar Li was puzzled.
"I just got the news, the Xiongnu right valley Liwang led his subordinates to call the cold evil, and the left captain led nearly 100,000 troops to invade the border of Qin, and this moment is when their rear is empty."
"Then we can go straight in!" Qi Fu Li took Liang Rugu's words and said.
At this moment, after listening to Liang Rugu's strategy, Qi Fuli was very happy in his heart, and at the same time respected Liang Rugu even more.
On the same day, the leader of the begging tribe, Qifu Li, presented equipment, cattle and sheep, grain, and 20,000 swords to the Xiongnu to the tribal coalition army.
The other five tribes were disdainful when they saw that Qifuli had to pull out 20,000 soldiers for gifts and grain.
All the gifts have been offered, even if 20,000 soldiers are pulled, what is the use? If you want to deter, this is too naΓ―ve.

At this moment, the sun is in full bloom, and countless Hun soldiers outside the Bitou Pass are waiting for the next charge.
Summer wears a heavy armor and holds a black sledgehammer and rides on a handsome black horse. Behind him were five hundred cavalrymen wearing the same armor as him, standing solemnly inside the gate of the city.
The soldiers had two yellow cloth bags hanging from their horses, which were filled with palm-sized chunks.
These things are none other than TNT explosives.
In order to delay the enemy's siege as quickly as possible, let reinforcements arrive. Summer finally persuaded the border county guard Boli to go and destroy the enemy's siege equipment.
And the way to destroy it is to lead the five hundred cavalry he trained himself, and take the thunder talisman given by the immortals that Summer said to blow up the enemy's siege equipment.
And in order to exchange for so many explosives, Summer did not hesitate to sell a fragment in his hand to the system, in exchange for 10,000 universal points plus his remaining general points to buy so many explosives.
And according to his wishes, the system cut it into rectangular blocks the size of palms for the soldiers to throw.
And this is the time for them to go out of the city to fight.
