Chapter 97: Tuoba Xianbei
"Order, the army rests here for two days, let the soldiers have a good rest, and in two days we will march west to break the enemy!" Wan Qian Jin ordered loudly to the soldiers around him: "Also, order the scouts, keep an eye on the Xianbei people on the main vein of Yin Mountain, and report every two hours!" ”
"No!"
Listening to the sound of horses' hooves as his soldiers gave the order, Wan Qijin turned his head and glanced twice, and said to Wuyue and Wang De: "Let Xianbei gather some more, so that our army can win with one blow." This time, we need to work together! ”
"Naturally! I am a warrior and will never lag behind! Wang De bowed his hand to Wan Qianjian, his posture was very low, but his tone was neither humble nor arrogant. Wang De, who was originally a very mediocre son of the Han Dynasty, has truly become the first "Han general" under Liu Yuan after surrendering to the Xiongnu for a few years!
Wu Yue also showed a "bright" smile on his face, his eyebrows were full of confidence, and he was eager to try.
At this time, in the north of Yinshan Mountain and the wilderness of the south of the desert, more than 100,000 Xianbei tribes in the west have gathered. Although most of them are old and weak, and the young and strong are insufficient, the gathering of people here also allows the Xianbei people in the west to enjoy a sense of security. The war knives from the Huns drove them to huddle together.
The large and small tribes united here, and the dominant ones were naturally a few large clans. With Tuoba, Wuluhui, and Baibu as the core, dozens of small and medium-sized tribes are supplemented, plus some scattered Xianbei tribesmen. Although the number of people was large, their hearts were uneven, and they seemed very chaotic for a while. You must know that if there was no great threat from the Xiongnu army, they would still be in the chaos of annexing each other.
Because of the bloody survival confrontation a year ago, many of these Xianbei tribes who gathered in Yin Mountain formed a blood feud with each other. Naturally, there are constant conflicts, and if it weren't for a few large parts suppressing it, I'm afraid that the alliance would have already collapsed.
"Tui Yin, there are several more tribes fighting, hundreds of people have been killed and injured, and the subordinates have sent people to mediate and suppress them!" A trace of exhaustion flashed between the eyebrows of the leader of the bones, and he reported to the superior Tuoba neighbor.
Tuoba Lin tapped his head twice and ordered: "Let the warriors of my Tuoba Department worry about it, at this time, we must not mess around, this is a rare opportunity for our department." Exert influence on the various departments, as long as we and the allied forces defeat the Huns, the prestige power will be increased again and rise completely! ”
"Yes!"
"Fen! You send more people to inquire about the movements of the Huns, although the Huns are not strong, but they must not be underestimated, at this time, you must not take it lightly! Looking at his son in the tent, Tuoba commanded.
"My son knows!" Tuoba Jiefen nodded yes. Looking at Tuoba Lin, his expression was a little excited: "Father, we have to guard against the invasion of the Huns once we solve the invasion of the Huns." If we want to become the leader of the Western Alliance, the two of them are the biggest stumbling block! ”
"I've seen a lot, I've thought far enough! For the sake of my father, the future of Tuoba Xianbei will depend on your leadership to continue to grow and develop! Tuoba Lin looked at his son kindly and continued: "But at this time, the Xiongnu are the primary enemy, and only by repelling them and keeping the present can there be a future!" ”
"The child knows! This is going to be repulsed! Hearing this, Tuoba Jiefen couldn't help but show a hint of eagerness in his eyes, and turned around and walked out of the tent.
Tuoba Lin stroked his black and white beard, and his expression also showed determination, he was already old, but he was determined to take advantage of this to give Tuoba Xianbei a bright future.
"In the north of the secluded capital, in the wilderness of the desert, animal husbandry migrates, and hunting is the industry." Tuoba Department is other Xianbei, after two southward migrations, finally to the old land of the Xiongnu, find abundant water and grass, pastoral and hunting holy land, in the Xianbei military alliance of Tanshi Huai has developed so far.
Just last year, the Tuoba tribe was in the vast western Xianbei, and it was just an ordinary tribe. The situation has changed dramatically, and after the repeated blows of Helian and Liu Yuan, the remnants of the big tribe at the head and the death of the dead just happened to give them a chance to rise.
Tuoba Lin, Tuoba Jiefen father and son, are both pioneering and enterprising people, and they also seize the opportunity. Under the leadership of their father and son, in the nearly half a year from last winter to this time, the Tuoba tribe conquered and annexed many tribes. In the chaotic situation of the western grasslands, they took the opportunity to develop and grow, and their strength increased more than one notch, and they became a famous big tribe far and wide. It is precisely with the strength of the strength in his hands that he can suppress those small and medium-sized tribes.
Originally, the situation in Xianbei in the west had stabilized, and the long-term self-killing of each other had made the people war-weary. The development of various ministries is also in a state of balance, and the expansion of Tuoba Xianbei has also fallen into a period of bottleneck and shackle.
Tuoba and his son have developed steadily for a period of time, and they often think of ways to break through. At the same time, Liu Yuan sent Wan Qijin to the north, which suddenly broke the fragile balance of Xianbei in the west, and made many tribes feel greatly threatened.
For many tribes, the Xiongnu army was a threat of bloody killings and tribal destruction, but Tuoba and his son saw the opportunity for the Tuoba tribe to rise completely and control the western Xianbei.
While gathering the other tribesmen who had fled, he sent a message to the tribes, intending to form another alliance to deal with the Xiongnu army. And the effect of Wan Qijian's sweeping of all tribes also happened to help them, and the Xianbei tribes in the west who were forced to move closer to Tuoba Xianbei really according to their wishes. With the accumulation of time, gathering 100,000 people is the result, and several big tribes that do not deal with each other have no choice but to join together, otherwise if the Tuoba Department really integrates these tribes, it will be a monopoly.
"This time, it is a good opportunity for my Tuoba Department to rise in Monan, we must seize it!" Tuoba Lin's old hands were clenched, and the excitement in his eyes was indescribable.
......
In a huge newly built tent, the lords and leaders of the New Western Alliance gathered together for the first time to discuss the matter of dealing with the Xiongnu army. As the initiator of the alliance, Tuoba Lin is in the main position, next to Mulu Hui and Lord Baibe.
The two tribes, like the Tuoba Tribe, are also the newly rising Western Xianbei Tribe, and the leader is very capable, and the tribal strength is not much compared to the Tuoba Tribe, and they are the strongest challengers of the Tuoba Tribe.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Huns are here, and the families of my western tribes are broken and exterminated, and there are countless people, and they have suffered heavy losses. The enemy is strong, the Huns are strong and brutal, and none of the individual tribes are their opponents, and if we do not unite, we will be defeated one by one sooner or later. Now the situation is critical, and only by working together can we resist the invasion of the Huns! ”
"Tui Yin is right, we can only defeat the Huns if we join forces!" As one of the major clans of the Tuoba tribe, the leader of the bones immediately spoke out in support. As soon as this statement came out, it immediately won the support of many tribal leaders in the tent, all of whom were small and medium-sized tribes attached to the Tuoba tribe.
But there are still many people in the tent who are silent, led by Wulu Hui and Baibu. The atmosphere did not stir up, and it was divided, and for a while many people felt the strangeness in the tent.
"The alliance must be united, but who should assume the position of the lord of this alliance!" Lord Hakube spoke up and went straight to the heart of the problem.
"Lord Tuoba, "highly respected", and the initiator of the alliance, naturally Lord Tuoba should be the commander! Soon there were supporters of Tuoba Neighbor who spoke out in support!
Lord Hakube, a sneer rolled up at the corner of his mouth, and he stopped talking. But around him, voices immediately sounded in support of him as the leader of the alliance. Slowly, more names were proposed, and of course the highest voices were Tuoba, Mulu Hui, and Hakube, three adults.
Seeing the increasingly fierce quarrel in the tent, Tuoba Lin behaved very indifferently, and suddenly coughed loudly, and the tent gradually quieted down. Looking to the side, Tuoba Lin asked with a smile, "I don't know what Lord Luhui thinks?" ”
Lord Wuluhuibu, who had not made a sound, glanced at the people in the tent, and said suddenly: "Now defeating the Huns is the first priority, and Lord Tuoba is the commander, I have no opinion!" ”
As soon as this statement came out, the results came out naturally, with the support of Tuoba and Wuluhui, Tuoba was elected, and there was no surprise. Only Lord Hakube had a layer of gloom on his face, and it was obvious that the Tuoba Department had reached some agreement with the Mulu Hui, otherwise the Mulu Hui Department would support the Tuoba neighbor so simply.
