Chapter 566: I'm going to hit ten
Yuwen Chengdu's words really went to the hearts of all the leaders present, and now at this time, they are still fighting for a little material. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoWhen the Mongols attack, will they be able to keep their tribes? Even the big men are difficult to resist, not to mention some of their remnants defeated.
Mo Tuo heard the meaning of Yuwen Chengdu's words, and said with a sneer: "So, you Yuwen Chengdu wants to be the big leader and take us to resist the Mongols?" You Yuwen Chengdu is only the remnants of Xianbei, now the tribe is no more than 10,000 people, and the soldiers who can fight are only 3,000, how can you dare to make a big statement and command us to resist the Mongol army? ”
The leaders of several big tribes also looked at Yuwen Chengdu with frowns, and now these tribes really need to nominate a big leader. But it can't be his turn Yuwen Chengdu, to put it bluntly, they don't trust each other, whoever is the big leader is better than doing it himself. Not only Motuo, but they also wanted to be the big leader.
Listening to Mo Tuo's words, Yuwen Chengdu sneered: "Then in your opinion, who can be the big leader?"
"What do I think?" Mo Tuo sneered: "That is naturally the most powerful leader with the most soldiers and horses in the clan."
The implication is that he is Motuo!
"You Motuo?" Yuwen Chengdu shook his head and said, "Do you think you can do it?" If you want to integrate the major tribes with such despicable means, you ask who can obey you? If you were to be in command, I'm afraid we would be even more chaotic, right? Do you think you can resist Mongolia and resist Dajin? If I'm not mistaken, the Jurchen general Wanyan Chen monk attacked Karasuma, and you took the lead in escaping for your life, right? Otherwise, how can your Karasuma clan be so prosperous? If the Mongols or the Jurchens attack, will you, the great chief, take the lead in fleeing for your life? ”
Yuwen Chengdu pointed out Mo Tuo's two major shortcomings, the first is ability, thinking that Mo Tuo does not have the ability to unite them. Second, if Mo Tuo has a history of fleeing without a fight, how can such a person command the major tribes to resist the Mongol Jurchens?
Mo Tuo was exposed by Yuwen Chengdu, his face was quite ugly, and he defended himself: "The Jurchen is too powerful to resist, and if I don't go to integrate Karasuma, I will perish." Now that I have no way to retreat, I naturally want to fight to the death with the Jurchen Mongols! Besides, you say I escaped? What about you? Isn't it also a defeated general? Which of us didn't flee here for the sake of the tribe? ”
As soon as Mo Tuo's words came out, the faces of several leaders who had been in the northern part of the desert in the past twitched, and they knew the past of Yuwen Chengdu. The guards next to Yuwen Chengdu also defended Yuwen Chengdu: "The year before last, tens of thousands of Mongolian iron cavalry surrounded my Xianbei royal court, and it was the leader who led us to break through. Who is like you, fleeing without a fight? ”
The leaders who didn't know Yuwencheng's deeds looked sideways, Mu Lihua was a number of generals under Temujin's command. Yuwen Chengdu not only broke through with this bit of soldiers and horses, but also lost both with Mu Lihua, which is really a bit of a skill.
"Hmph, who knows if it's true or not?" Mo Tuo pursed his lips and said this, but he didn't have much confidence.
"I don't want to talk about the past, you believe it or not. It's just that now it's a matter of life and death for all of my races, and I ask you to put aside your past suspicions and don't care about everyone's gains and losses. Elect a great leader to reorganize the tribe and defend it against future Mongol Jurchen attacks! Yuwen Chengdu stood up and shouted to everyone.
A big leader finally couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and said, "What Leader Yuwen said is right, we should indeed put aside our previous suspicions and elect a big leader to lead us!"
"Our enemy is the Mongolian Dajin, and we really shouldn't fight at this time!"
But some people also asked: "It is indeed imperative to establish an alliance and elect a big leader, but how should this big leader be elected, and what rights does it have?"
Now that it's time for life and death, some people also know that it's not the time to act rashly. Except for a few leaders, most of them also thought about the formation of the alliance and were dedicated to the common good.
"Naturally, it is mainly based on strength, and whichever power is the strongest will be the big leader!" Mo Tuo said immediately.
Many people shook their heads, and they didn't recognize Mo Tuo anymore because Yuwen Chengdu was so exposed. Yuwen Chengdu said at the right time: "This big leader is elected to resist the Mongols, Jurchen. The soldiers and horses of their two clans can fight well, and this big leader must also be able to fight well, be brave, and command soldiers and horses, all of which are indispensable! I'm not talented in Yuwen Chengdu, and I think this big leader belongs to me. But you will not be convinced. It's better to choose the bravest warriors from each tribe to have a competition, who can beat the leader, which tribe leader is the big leader, so as to command the heroes! ”
After hearing this, the big leaders immediately discussed it, and soon came to a conclusion and agreed to Yuwen Chengdu's proposal. On the grassland, the strong are respected, and only the strong can be respected, and the selection of the big leader by force will naturally be supported. It's just that many people know in their hearts that Yuwen Chengdu is so strong, I'm afraid no one can beat him.
However, some leaders also have hope that the warriors of the clan will win the first place, and if they fight in other ways, they will probably have no hope. Now that we are fighting by force, there is still some hope.
"What should the big leader do after he is elected? And how to defend against the Mongols, Jurchen? "After talking about the method of selecting the great chief, some people asked about the functions of the great chief.
Yuwen Chengdu had already thought about it, and immediately said: "Now our tribe has hundreds of thousands of people, and there are no less than 200,000 young and strong. However, it is impossible to assemble all of them into soldiers and horses, so in addition to maintaining the tribal heritage, each tribe selects the bravest warriors to form a team of soldiers and horses, which is uniformly dispatched by the big leader. A few days ago, General Lejin sent food over, I have already told him about it, he said that if my various departments are integrated, the cavalry will be supplemented by Youzhou with weapons and armor! ”
As soon as Yuwen Chengdu said this, all the leaders were ecstatic, and now they gathered in such a small place, not only lacked mountain materials, but also lost the ability to manufacture weapons. Liu Yu gave everything, but he didn't give weapons, so they lacked weapons the most, if they had sophisticated weapons, they would have some confidence in the face of Mongolia.
"In addition, the chief is also responsible for distributing supplies and mediating the contradictions between the ministries. What do you think of the fact that the great chiefs cannot interfere in the affairs of the tribes? Yuwen Chengdu asked.
"So good! However, this big leader needs to act fairly, as if some kind of villain must not be the big leader! ”
"Yuwen Chengdu is right, we all agreed, now the most powerful warriors in our clan have been brought, just outside the camp, why don't we try it now and pick out the big leader!"
"Yes, it's better to be selected as soon as possible, time is not waiting, the soldiers and horses are formed as soon as possible, and it will be more confident to train and resist the Mongols as soon as possible!"
And after some deliberation, the matter was settled, and the great chief was chosen today.
The chieftains went out of the camp and selected the best warriors among their cavalry. Mo Tuo had no choice, so he picked three of the bravest warriors in the clan, hoping that they could defeat Yuwen Chengdu. Yuwen Chengdu let people build a high platform in the middle of the camp for martial arts competition.
Two hours later, the leaders of the tribes arrived with their own brave warriors. There is only one less, and there are three or five more, all of which are five big and three coarse, which is daunting.
Yuwen Chengdu was conceited and brave, the first to walk on the high platform, and said loudly: "Yuwen Chengdu is not talented, so he will be the first to come up, if someone can defeat me, I will never mention the position of the big leader again."
Yuwen Chengdu was so conceited, which angered the warriors of the various tribes who came to compete, but those leaders were happy. If Yuwen Chengdu wants to fight alone, he may be invincible, but if he fights, he can win a few battles in front, but when his strength is used up, can he still be so powerful?
Several warriors were angry and fought for the stage to compete with Yuwen Chengdu, but they were stopped by their leader. If you try to go up, you will definitely suffer, so you can only wait for Yuwen Chengdu to play a few battles and then go up to see if there is any advantage to take advantage of. But it doesn't work if no one comes to power, and the leaders of the big forces have no intention of sending people up. The leaders of the small forces gathered together and said, "Now that the leader of Yuwen is using this way to promote the big leader, those of them are clearly going to wait for the leader of Yuwen to run out of strength to take advantage. Then how about we help him and let the warriors of the clan admit defeat after a while? ”
"It's okay, anyway, they won't be convinced if we become the big leader, so let's help the leader of Yuwen!" The leaders of several small tribes quickly reached an agreement and told their warriors to defeat as soon as possible and not to consume Yuwen Chengdu's strength.
Soon, the warriors of a small tribe came to the stage, put their fists on their left chests, performed a grassland ceremony, and rushed towards Yuwen Chengdu. The fighting on the grassland is different from that of the Han Dynasty, and in the Central Plains, martial arts have a long history, and the emphasis is on the ever-changing moves. And the warriors of the steppe, like wrestling, gladiatorial fights. This warrior rushed towards Yuwen Chengdu with an arrow step, and then hugged Yuwen Chengdu's waist, and his arms tried to fall down Yuwen Chengdu.
However, Yuwen Chengdu is as immobile as a mountain, like a mountain, no matter how hard this warrior tries, he will not move at all. After a few breaths, Yuwen Chengdu's arm grabbed the warrior's waist and grabbed the belt and lifted it.
"I admit defeat, I admit defeat!" This warrior was carried in the air by Yuwen Chengdu with one hand, and he had nowhere to borrow his strength, so he had to shout and admit defeat immediately.
Yuwen Chengdu put him down, and soon the second challenger came up, and Yuwen Chengdu was still a one-trick opponent. Thirty-six people were defeated in a row, and all the warriors of the small tribe went on the field, but they were all defeated, and all of them were won by one move.
"You colluded to let them deliberately lose to Yuwen Chengdu!" Seeing that Yuwen Chengdu was still so brave, Mo Tuo immediately pointed at the leaders of those small tribes and scolded.
Yuwen Chengdu frowned slightly, some of the warriors who challenged before did want to release the water, but Yuwen Chengdu didn't give him a chance, and they all used their strength to defeat. Now Mo Tuo slandered Yuwen Chengdu for cheating, which made Yuwen Chengdu very angry, Yuwen Chengdu snorted coldly: "In that case, everyone else will come up together, if I lose, choose the big leader from among you!"
"That's what you said, don't regret it!" Mo Tuo was overjoyed, there were fifty or sixty warriors of these big forces, and if they swarmed Yuwen Chengdu with two fists and four hands, they would definitely lose.
"Sons, go up!" With a wave of his hand, Mo Tuo beckoned the warriors of his clan to go up. The three people behind Mo Tuo were also unambiguous, and immediately rushed forward, and the leaders of the other tribes saw this, and they also sent their own warriors into battle. There were fifty or sixty people who surrounded Yuwen Chengdu.
At this time, in the south of Yuwen Chengdu's camp, Xue Rengui led dozens of horsemen to the north. After Yuwen Chengdu came to Zhuo County, Xue Rengui was worried that something would happen in the north, so he came to Shanggu to sit in the town and sent people to inquire about the news of the Hu tribe. Today, knowing that the tribes raised more than 100,000 troops to surround the tribes of Yuwen Chengdu, Xue Rengui was worried about changes and came to adjust.
