Chapter 514: The Pearl of the Xianbei Clan
This time, the alliance composed of more than 100 nomadic tribes in the grassland, Murong Ke, the nominal leader of the alliance, the Great Khan of the Xianbei tribe, plus the other two Great Khans of the three powerful tribes of the grassland, Luan Timao, the Great Khan of the Xiongnu Nationality, and Yelu Enemylie, the Great Khan of the Khitan Tribe, can almost determine the general direction of the coalition of the entire grassland tribes, and even the Great Khans of the six tribes of Xirong, Wuheng, Rouran, Donghu, Tiele and Karasuma have to obey the resolutions of the three of them.
Now Murong Ke, the Great Khan of the Xianbei Tribe, Luan Timao, the Great Khan of the Xiongnu Tribe, and Yelu Dilie, the Great Khan of the Khitan Tribe, have all agreed to send a part of the coalition army to clear out the cavalry troops of the two broken armies, and the other Great Khans in the felt bag nodded one after another, and no one raised any objections.
So Murong Ke, the Great Khan of the Xianbei tribe, then said to the Great Khan of the Xiongnu tribe Luan Timao, the Khitan Great Khan Yelu Dilie and the Great Khan of the Xirong Tribe, Arishan: "This Great Khan proposed a plan to transfer 200,000 cavalry from each of our Xianbei, Xiongnu, Khitan, and Xirong tribes, and then from the various tribes affiliated with our four tribes, respectively, to draw 100,000 cavalry, and then divide the troops into two ways to destroy the cavalry troops of the two broken armies that entered the steppe, what do the three Great Khans think?" ”
The Great Khan of the Xiongnu Luan Timao and the Great Khan of the Khitan Tribe, Yelu Dilie, both nodded, after all, among the nine tribes of the Huimeng, both of them controlled a large number of troops, although in the night attack of the Broken Army on the Wuheng Royal Court, the Khitan and its affiliated tribes lost about 200,000 troops, but the Khitan army controlled by the grassland coalition army still exceeded 1.7 million people, not to mention the Xiongnu, the cavalry of the Xiongnu headquarters plus the cavalry of its affiliated ethnic groups reached as much as 2.7 million.
Xirong Khan A Rishan heard the plan proposed by Murong Ke, the Great Khan of the Xianbei tribe, the joy on his face flashed, the Xirong tribe over the years, under his leadership, can be said to be getting stronger and stronger, in the entire grassland, in addition to the Xiongnu, Xianbei and Khitan three tribes, the Xirong tribe is already the fourth strongest clan, this time the troops were sent to clear the cavalry troops of the two broken armies deep into the grassland, which can put the Xirong tribe and the Xiongnu, Xianbei and Khitan tribes on par, indicating that the status of the fourth strongest tribe of the Xirong tribe has been recognized by the Xiongnu, Xianbei and Khitan tribes.
The Great Khan of the Xirong tribe, Arishan, said loudly: "Our Xirong tribe has no problem, and we are willing to send 200,000 cavalry from our headquarters and 100,000 cavalry from various affiliated tribes to wipe out the broken army that has entered the depths of the steppe!" ”
Murong Ke, the Great Khan of the Xianbei Clan, immediately turned his head and said to Chaganlar, the Great Khan of the Ding Ling Clan, and the Great Khan of the Shatuo Clan: "Chaganlar Great Khan, the Great Khan of the Evil Zhiyi Great Khan, the Broken Army has captured the enmity of the royal court of your two clans, and our coalition army will definitely not count it like this, and it is impossible for the cavalry of the two Broken Capture Army to leave the grassland again!" ”
Chaganlar, the Great Khan of the Ding Ling Clan, hurriedly said: "Murong Ke Great Khan, our Ding Ling Clan is willing to send tens of thousands of cavalry to participate in the battle to exterminate the cavalry of the two broken army. ”
Murong Ke, the Great Khan of the Xianbei Clan, hesitated for a moment and then nodded and said: "Our Xianbei Clan's affiliated clans are ready to send 100,000 cavalry, and we can give you three-tenths of the Ding Ling Clan, and your Ding Ling Clan will send 30,000 troops!" ”
The Great Khan of the Ding Ling Clan, Chaganlar, said gratefully: "Thank you Murong Ke Great Khan for giving us the opportunity to take revenge with our own hands. ”
The Great Khan of the Shatuo tribe next to him looked at Shuerha, the Great Khan of the Wuheng tribe, and the evil Zhiyi also hoped that the Shatuo tribe could personally avenge the occupation of the royal court, but Shuerha hesitated for a moment, and slowly shook his head at the evil Zhiyi, after all, it had been decided that the Xianbei, Xiongnu, Khitan, Xirong and their affiliated tribes would jointly send troops, and the Shatuo tribe had nothing to do with these four tribes.
Murong Ke, the Great Khan of the Xianbei Clan, then said to the people in the felt bag: "Today is the 30th of May, and all the ethnic groups have joined the army of this grassland alliance, and since they have all arrived at the Wuheng Royal Court, then let's study the question of how to march next!" ”
As soon as Murong Ke's words fell, the Khitan Great Khan Yelu Enemy Lie said: "This Great Khan doesn't need to study much, he should directly march to the Beiting Protectorate controlled by the Broken Army, according to intelligence, now the Broken Army has also gathered millions of troops in the newly built Qudeng City of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, and our allied forces of all ethnic groups should go straight to Qudeng City, so that with just one battle, the main force of the Broken Army can be defeated, and the remaining troops of the Broken Army are not worried." ”
The Great Khan of the Xiongnu tribe, Luan Timao, nodded and said: "What the Great Khan of Yelu is right, even if the Xianbei, Xiongnu, Khitan, and Xirong tribes divide a part of their armies to encircle and suppress the two cavalry units of the Broken Army, the remaining strength of our coalition army is far beyond the main force of the Broken Army gathered in Qudeng City. ”
Murong Ke, the Great Khan of the Xianbei Clan, stroked his beard and said: "According to the news that our Xianbei tribe has obtained, the Broken Army has gathered about three million troops in Qudeng City, if it can really defeat these three million Broken Troops in one battle, then the huge territory under the command of the Broken Capture Army is equivalent to opening its mind to our allied forces of all ethnic groups, and this Great Khan agrees to march directly to Qudeng City!" ”
The Great Khan of the Xirong tribe, the Great Khan of the Wuheng tribe, the Great Khan of the Wuheng tribe, the Great Khan Mugulu of the Rouran tribe, the Great Khan Ishag of the Donghu tribe, the Great Khan Jirimu of the Tiele tribe, and the Great Khan of the Karasuma tribe, Zhaonastu, had no opinion on the direct march to Qudeng Castle, which was the protectorate of the Beiting Prefecture, so on the morning of 1 June, the army of more than 8 million people of all the tribes of the steppe rushed towards Qudeng City, which was the protectorate of the Beiting Prefecture.
In addition, 600,000 cavalry composed of the Xiongnu, Xirong and their affiliated nationalities, and 600,000 cavalry composed of the Xianbei and Khitan and their affiliated nationalities, divided into two routes, and began the arduous road of clearing and destroying the two cavalry units of the Broken Army.
The speed of the more than 8 million grassland tribe alliance troops was not fast, but because the army of more than 8 million was basically cavalry, the grassland alliance army arrived outside Qudeng City, the state capital of Qizhou, the capital of Beiting Prefecture, on the afternoon of 3 June, and immediately began to build a camp on the grassland north of Qudeng City.
At present, the Broken Capture Army gathered in Qudeng City, in addition to the seven elite troops of the Tiger Ben Army, Mo Dao Soldiers, Xuanjia Soldiers, Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, White Horse Congyi, Trap Camp and Wei Wushu, there are also fifteen cavalry brigades and ten infantry brigades of the Grassland Legion, two cavalry brigades and twenty infantry brigades of the Guards Legion, four cavalry brigades and seven infantry brigades of the Native Legion, and ten cavalry brigades of the Western Regions Legion, with a total strength of more than three million.
In a huge tent in the camp of the Broken Army outside Qudeng City, Liu Ji said loudly to the many ministers and generals under his command: "Now that the Grassland Coalition Army has arrived outside Qudeng City, according to the intelligence of Heishuitai, the size of this Grassland Coalition Army is definitely more than 8.5 million, not counting the more than 1 million cavalry divided by the Grassland Coalition Army. ”
"Swear to follow the lord to the death!" Eight Wenchen and dozens of generals in the tent shouted almost in unison.
Liu Ji nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's late today, tomorrow morning, we will go to meet this Hu coalition army for a while!" All departments must strengthen their vigilance tonight, don't be attacked by the Hu people! ”
On the night of June 3, in a giant felt bag in the Xianbei camp, Murong Ke, the great Khan of the Xianbei tribe, shouted angrily to Murong Xiong, the Xianbei Zuoxian King: "How can you let Xue'er follow, we are fighting a decisive battle with millions of captives this time, and it is not child's play!" ”
Xianbei Zuoxian King Murong Xiong is the eldest son of Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke, in the face of his father's reprimand, Zuoxian King Murong Xiong said aggrievedly: "Father Khan, I also found out that Xue'er was mixed in the team halfway, and I was confused for a while, so I didn't tell my father Khan about it." ”
At this time, a thin Xianbei general wearing armor spoke: "Father Khan, don't complain about the eldest brother, I threatened him and didn't let him tell you, and my daughter didn't understand that in our entire Xianbei clan, there are almost only a handful of warriors who can beat the spear in the daughter's hand, why can't my daughter go to the battlefield?" ”
It turns out that this thin Xianbei general is a woman disguised as a man, she is the youngest daughter of Xianbei Khan Murong Ke, and she is also the most beloved daughter of Xianbei Khan Murong Ke, her name is Murong Xue, in the Xianbei tribe, which is known for its abundance of beauties, Murong Xue's appearance is one of the best, and Murong Xue's martial arts talent is amazing, Murong Xue, who is only nineteen years old this year, is already the top few masters in the entire Xianbei clan, Xianbei Khan Murong Ke once declared to the outside world that Murong Xue is the most beautiful and brightest pearl of the entire Xianbei clan.
Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke first glared at Murong Xiong, the king of Zuoxian, before he smiled bitterly at Murong Xue and said: "Xue'er, this crusade against the Broken Army, although the coalition army of all ethnic groups in our grassland has an absolute advantage in strength, but the strength of the Broken Army is not weak, this time the Broken Army has gathered about three million troops here in Qudeng City alone, not to mention that the Broken Army has just defeated the coalition forces of the four major powers in the Western Regions, and its morale is booming. ”
Murong Xue blinked her eyes and asked in a coquettish voice, "Father Khan, what does this have to do with the fact that her daughter can't go to the battlefield?" ”
Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke said in a slow voice: "Daughter! You are the pearl of our entire Xianbei clan, and you are also the heart and soul of Father Khan, in case something happens in the big battle against the Broken Army, what can you do with Father Khan? ”
Murong Xue walked to the side of Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke, took one of Murong Ke's arms, and said coquettishly while shaking: "Father Khan, don't you know your daughter's martial arts?" Just let your daughter stay! The daughter has been following her father Khan's side, so there will be no danger! ”
At this time, Murong Xiong, King of Zuoxian, hesitated for a moment, and just wanted to tell the story that Murong Xue personally killed more than 20 elite cavalry of the Broken Army on the night of the night attack of the Broken Army, but Murong Xue glared at Murong Xiong, King of Zuoxian, as if he was an unpredictable prophet, and the meaning of the threat was obvious, so that Murong Xiong, King of Zuoxian, should not talk nonsense.
Murong Xiong, the king of Zuoxian, opened his mouth, and swallowed back the words he was about to say, Murong Xue's methods of rectifying people can be said to be endless, coupled with Murong Xue's super high skills, Murong Xiong was deeply affected before, Murong Xiong decided not to provoke his evil sister at this time.
Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke smiled bitterly and said to Murong Xue: "My precious daughter, any danger can be encountered on the battlefield, even if it is Father Khan, it is impossible to be 100% safe, you better go back to the Xianbei Royal Court!" ”
Murong Xue immediately said: "Since the battlefield is so dangerous, my daughter should stay to protect her father Khan!" Father Khan, this time my daughter didn't come alone, the master also sent two red-clothed protectors and four yellow-clothed protectors from Leiguang Temple to his daughter, with these two red-clothed protectors and four yellow-clothed protectors, there will be no danger to my daughter at all! ”
"What? Master Huiyuan of Leiguang Temple, sent you two red-clothed Dharma protectors and four yellow-clothed Dharma protectors? Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke asked with a shocked expression.
Murong Xue raised her head upward, "What's this, the master originally wanted to send some more masters to protect his daughter!" However, the daughter feels that there are two red-clothed protectors and four yellow-clothed protectors following her daughter, which is enough to protect her daughter, and there are too many people who are easy to be discovered by your father, and you will not let your daughter leave the Xianbei royal court with the army! ”
Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke shook his head helplessly and said: "The master that Father Khan found for you has found the right person, and your master is too used to you!" ”
In the whole grassland, there are many nomads who believe in a religion, that is, a branch of Buddhism Lamaism, and the nomads who are most influenced by Lamaism are the Xiongnu, Xianbei and Khitan tribes, Lamaism has only built three unusually large monasteries on the grassland, these three monasteries are located in the royal court of the Xiongnu, Xianbei and Khitan tribes, including the Leitian Temple of the Xiongnu Royal Court, the Leiguang Temple of the Xianbei Royal Court and the Leiyin Temple of the Khitan Royal Court.
Lamaism these three temples, is not just a place to eat fasting and chant Buddha, the three temples have many martial arts monks inside, according to the strength of the division, the red-clothed protector is the strongest, the yellow-clothed protector is second, and then the next is the first-level monk, the second-level monk, the third-level monk, the three-level monk, the three levels of the monk are all dressed in white, and below the third-level monk, there is the weakest gray-clothed monk.
The red-clothed protector of Lamaism has the strength to be on the list of peerless fierce generals in the world's hero spectrum, and the yellow-clothed protector, first-class warrior monk, second-level warrior monk and third-level warrior monk correspond to the top fierce general list, first-class fierce general list, second-rate fierce general list and third-rate fierce general list in the world's hero spectrum.
Master Huiyuan is the abbot of Leiguang Temple, and Murong Xue is the registered disciple of Master Huiyuan, this time the abbot of Huiyuan sent two red-clothed protectors and four yellow-clothed protectors to Murong Xue, which is equivalent to sending two peerless generals and four top generals to Murong Xue.
Murong Xue said in a coquettish voice: "Of course my master has to spoil me!" Unlike Father Khan, he doesn't let his daughter do it, and he doesn't let his daughter do it, if her daughter wants to go to war, she has to be sneaky! ”
