Chapter 333: Dazzled

When the Liaodong Army was trying to eliminate the remnants of the Xiongnu, the rest of the forces in various places were not idle, and Tuoba Pugen sounded the clarion call to unify the Tuoba tribe, relying on the original Tuoba Central Tribe, and launched wave after wave of offensives against Tuoba Liuxiu.

Tuoba Pugen and Tuoba Liuxiu had three major battles at the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain and the Hetao Plain. Tuoba Pugen's subordinates united as one, so they were skilled, and defeated Tuoba Liuxiu's 50,000 troops in three battles and three victories, occupying the initiative on the battlefield. After eliminating the mobile forces of Tuoba Liuxiu, Tuoba Pugen began to point directly at the last station of Tuoba Liuxiu's remnants - Shengle.

Determined to fight the last time, Tuoba Liuxiu gathered a total of 50,000 people in the tribe, and claimed to be 100,000 under Shengle City, ready to fight to the death with the pursuing Tuoba Pugen.

In the fourth year of Jianxing, in March, the two major separatist forces of the Tuoba tribe launched a decisive battle near Shengle. Tuoba Pugen led 10,000 cavalry into the Shengle area with his cousin Tuoba Yulu as the vanguard, luring Tuoba Liuxiu out of the city for a decisive battle.

Seeing that only 10,000 cavalry dared to go deep alone, Tuoba Liuxiu immediately ordered to eat Tuoba Yulu in one fell swoop, so as to stabilize the hearts of the people in Shengle City.

Tuoba Pugen took advantage of the time when Tuoba Six Repairs surrounded Tuoba Yulu, and immediately ordered the main force to raid Shengle successfully, and then personally led the main force to surround the remnants of Tuoba Six Repairs to the west of Shengle.

80,000 against 50,000, coupled with the high morale of Tuoba Pugen's Lianjie, basically sealed the victory. The fate of Tuoba Six Cultivation Trapped Beasts is irreversible, but its dying counterattack still brings huge casualties to Tuoba Pugen.

After an hour of fierce fighting, a total of 30,000 Xianbei cavalry on both sides died in the end, and countless wounded were countless, and less than 10,000 remnants of Tuoba Liuxiu surrendered Tuoba Pugen.

Tuoba Pugen re-established the Tuoba tribe as he wished, but unfortunately, after a series of civil strife, the strength of the Tuoba tribe has dropped to a record low. There are more than 200,000 warriors in the entire tribe from the Tuoba Yilu era. Today, there are less than 100,000 people left, about half of them.

Tuoba Pugen inherited a devastated tribe, and in a short period of time, the Tuoba tribe was unable to go south to the Central Plains. What is even more serious is that Tuoba Pugen, who was already in poor health, managed to survive until the end of the war, and as a result, he had just completed the great cause of reunification. He fell ill and could not take charge of his duties.

Tuoba Pugen was seriously ill and died, and according to the tradition of the Hu people's brothers, the Tuoba tribe was eligible to inherit the position of Da Dan Yu Tuoba He Wei and Tuoba Suna. It's just that these two people are young and have no prestige, and they are not capable of leading the Tuoba tribe at all.

On the contrary, Tuoba Pugen's cousin, Tuoba Yulu, was majestic, scheming, and had a high prestige among the tribe. Although Tuoba Pugen's mother, Weishi, was unwilling to fall into the hands of Tuoba Yulu, she also knew that with the death of her eldest son, her two younger sons were powerless to compete with Tuoba Yulu.

Besides, Wei's can see clearly. Now the Tuoba tribe is in crisis, and Tuoba Yulu's succession to the throne will help stabilize the tribal situation. When the situation stabilizes in a few years and her two young sons have grown up, they may not have a chance to regain their position.

In this way, under the compromise of all parties, Tuoba Yulu succeeded the new generation of Tuoba Da Danyu, and the capital was still set in Shengle, and the first thing he dealt with after succeeding to the throne was to send an envoy to Jicheng to reaffirm friendship.

……

"My lord, the right army is coming to report. The stone has fallen, and Liu Yao was captured alive! ”

In the city of Luxian. Wei Shuo smiled when he heard this: "I didn't expect the Huyan family to move very fast!" ”

"Humph! The brothers of the Huyan family have almost all the troops under Liu Yao's command, if they want to rebel, let alone Liu Yao, it will not be anyone! It's just that the subordinates don't understand, why did the lord agree to Huyan's family to surrender? ”

Wei Shuo just smiled but didn't say anything, did he want him to tell everyone. The reason why he fell in love with the Huyan family was because of the Hu family generals in history? Of course, the main reason is that Hu Yanmo is indeed a talent, and he is upright, and he has no blood debts in his hands, otherwise he will not be a Hu family general. Even the Yang family will be destroyed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the army has been progressing smoothly since it went south, and seeing that the destruction of the Huns is just around the corner, everyone will inevitably feel a little arrogant in their hearts. Here, I will say a few more words, and the poem says: 'Half of those who travel a hundred miles are ninety.' 'As long as you don't conquer Pingyang and catch Liu Cong for a day, you can't relax for a day! ”

"Obey the teachings of the lord!"

"Well, then I'm relieved!" Wei Shuo said with satisfaction.

"My lord, the Huns are no longer worried, but the situation in the north has changed again. Although the Tuoba Liuxiu died, he still completed the unification of Tuoba Xianbei, and the new Dadan Yu Tuoba Yulu was wise and martial as Tuoba Pugen, and as soon as he succeeded to the throne, he sent an envoy to my Liaodong to express his submission. ”

"Tuoba Pugen died suddenly, and when the defenders stationed in Gaoliu and Xinping learned the news, Tuoba Yulu had already succeeded to the throne, and there was no time to intervene!"

"Alas, it's a pity, I wasted an opportunity to meddle in Tuoba Xianbei!" The situation in Tuoba Xianbei changed too quickly, and Wei Shuo was powerless.

"The lord doesn't need to be like this, even if the Tuoba tribe is reunited, but its strength has dropped a lot, and he will never dare to be the enemy of my Liaodong, if it is expected to be good, the messenger of Tuoba Yulu should be on the way at this time."

"Well, what Wen Ji said is good!"

……

"Your Majesty, there's an urgent report ahead! The stone was broken, Liu Yao, the king of Zhongshan, was captured by the Liaodong army, most of the defenders were annihilated, and only a few men and horses escaped back. ”

At this time, Liu Cong had just had breakfast and was about to discuss important matters with the ministers. Originally, he was not so diligent, but since the outbreak of the Great War, the situation of the Han Kingdom has become more and more difficult. Liu Cong had to force his body to deal with state affairs, and when he grabbed the urgent report and quickly browsed it, his face instantly turned pale.

"Bastard! Damn it! Damn it! ”

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

Just as Liu Cong was furious, Jin Zhun, Fan Long, Liu Jing and other auxiliary ministers walked in.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have lost the stone! The king of Zhongshan is also ...... Also unfortunately captured! Liu Cong looked depressed and sad.

"What? Liu Yao, he ......"

Liu Jing, Jin Zhun and others were completely stunned, a few days ago, Liu Cong also swore that there was no problem with Xihe, how could it be that after only a few days, Xihe County was lost! In addition, Liu Yao's capture was more shocking than the loss of Xihe County, if even Liu Yao couldn't stop the Liaodong Army, who else in the entire Han Kingdom could save the defeat?

"Your Majesty, what the hell is going on?"

Liu Jing couldn't understand why Lishi said that he would lose it! You must know that Lishi, as the foundation of the Huns, is not only a tall city, but also a large army stationed in it, plus Liu Yao is in charge, how can it collapse at the touch of a button!

"The Huyan family secretly opened the city gate to let the Liaodong army enter the city, and the king of Zhongshan was caught off guard and was captured!"

"The Huyan family is reversed?"

Jin Zhun, Liu Jing and other ministers were silent when they heard this, but their faces were pale, and everyone seemed to have foreseen that the entire Xiongnu clan would be wiped out under the blow of the Liaodong Army. Liu Cong actually knew very well that it was he who single-handedly pushed the Xiongnu to today's desperate situation, and it is very likely that the Xiongnu became history in his hands.

It took a long time for Liu Cong to come back from his complicated thoughts, and in an instant he became the ruthless emperor again.

I only heard him ask coldly: "I only ask one question now, with the current strength of Pingyang, if the Jin army launches an attack, can we stop it?" ”

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it can't! At present, there are nearly 50,000 troops in Pingyang, which seems to be a large number of troops, but the real Xiongnu descendants are less than 20,000, and the rest are warriors of various ethnic groups, which is not credible at all. Even in order to prevent them from turning back, we have to send some troops to watch them. ”

Liu Jing pondered for a moment and gave an answer that made Liu Cong's heart heavy.

"Damn, hateful!"

Liu Cong has a reason to be angry, when the Han State was prosperous, those leaders of the Qiang tribes did not take advantage of the Han State, and now seeing that the Han State was about to fall, they actually rushed to dissociate themselves from the Han State, for fear of being retaliated against by Liaodong in the future.

"Your Majesty is angry, it is not appropriate to stimulate the leaders of all ethnic groups at the moment, otherwise we will collapse first before the Liaodong Army comes!"

Liu Jing saw that Liu Cong was angry and hurriedly persuaded him, he didn't want Liu Cong to be angry with other Hu leaders, in case he aroused the common hatred of the leaders of all ethnic groups, and in the end it was the Huns who were unlucky.

"Since outsiders can't be relied on, the next thing is to rely on the Huns themselves, pass on my will: arrest all the Jin people in Pingyang City!" (To be continued.) )
