Chapter 221: Great Changes in the Grassland (I)
Shengle City at the foot of the Great Wall in the middle of the night slowly quieted down, only the north wind was blowing, and a few sounds of cows, sheep and horses were heard from time to time in the distance, which was especially profound in this quiet night.
In Shengle City, ordinary Xianbei people have long slept peacefully, no one would have thought that tonight, this city that has been very stable for nearly ten years will suffer the largest baptism of war in history, and the bright red blood will soon stain the whole city, many years later, when the Xianbei people recall everything that happened tonight, they know that the fate of the Xianbei people has changed from this moment.
Tuoba Liuxiu was silent as he looked at the dark night, surrounded by a group of fierce Xianbei warriors, he had never felt that the night was so long. When anyone is in the center of a storm, their hearts are surging, and the excitement of making history makes no one feel able to do it themselves.
In addition to the excitement and excitement, Tuoba Liuxiu also had a small worry, a kind of worry about the fate of the future. Since deciding on the strategy of an armed coup, he has not been able to sleep soundly for a single month in the past month, waking up in the middle of the night from a nightmare.
Rao is as the Tuoba tribe Zuo Xian King, he is used to seeing strong winds and waves, and it is not so calm at the moment, until this moment he knows that planning a rebellion is not so simple, this feeling is completely indescribable. Thinking of this, he admired the young emperor of the Jin Dynasty a little, he could uproot Empress Jia step by step under the pressure of Empress Jia, and he was really not an ordinary person.
If he can do it, why can't I?
Thinking of this, Tuoba Liuxiu gripped the handle of the knife with his hand, as if he had drawn infinite strength from the sword. Even his body shuddered involuntarily.
"Has General Shi arrived?"
"Young Master Qiqi, General Shi's subordinates with a total of 3,000 people are thirty miles away from Shengle City, and they can kill Shengle in less than half an hour."
"Okay, tell everyone to set out immediately."
Tuoba Liuxiu's eyes shot a fine light, turned over and led the 10,000 cavalry of the headquarters to advance silently towards Shengle City. As soon as he thought of Tuoba Yilu in Shengle City, he was resentful. Sometimes he really wants to ask his father face to face, is he really his own father?
Otherwise, why is it so eccentric?! Well, the old father abolished his mother, Tuoba Liuxiu forbearance, and it was a big deal that he took his mother to his own territory to support; The father asked him to give up the horse to his younger brother Tuoba Biyan. All right. In order to show his broad mind, he doesn't mind losing a few good horses, it's a big deal to find them later, anyway, there are not many other good horses on the prairie.
But there was only one thing that Tuoba Liuxiu couldn't bear. Just a month ago, Tuoba Yilu gave his car to his younger brother Tuoba Biyan. He also asked him to salute the other party. This is not a blatant attempt to ask him to be a subordinate to that waste brother. How can this make the Tuoba Six Cultivators, whose hearts are higher than the sky, endure it!
Tuoba Liuxiu breathed the cold wind of Saibei, and did not feel a trace of cold, but it was like a flame hidden in his chest. Just about to burn him down. Yesterday, his father Tuoba Yilu sent a message asking him to meet in Shengle, but the news from Shengle City made Tuoba Liuxiu's heart sink. Since Daddy doesn't give him a way out, let Lao Tzu find a way out!
"Drive!"
A rapid sound of horses' hooves broke the tranquility over the grassland, and on the originally dark and silent grassland, there was a sudden black pressure on a group of fierce cavalry troops, they were like several firelight dragons with torches, and the sound of chaotic horses' hooves, and the collision of swords, guns, and swords came, making the quiet grassland noisy all of a sudden.
The two cavalry units slowly converged from different directions to the outside of Shengle City, and at a distance of five miles from Shengle City, the cavalry troops extinguished the torches, and the thirteen thousand men and the same number of horses did not make a sound, and when they got closer, they found that the horses were all tied with strips of cloth in their mouths.
A sturdy white-faced bearded man rode a horse to Tuoba Liuxiu and bowed: "Congratulations to Tuoba Young Master, after tonight you will be the leader of the Tuoba tribe, I hope Your Excellency will not forget our previous agreement." ”
"General Shi, please rest assured, as long as I am the Grand Danyu of the Tuoba Tribe, I will never forget the kindness of the Xiongnu. Our sons and daughters of the grassland pay attention to happiness and revenge: those who have kindness repay their kindness, and those who have revenge take revenge! Tuoba Liuxiu also knew that his move tonight was tantamount to the Jin Dynasty's reversal, and in this case, he had no other way out except to form an alliance with the Xiongnu in Bingzhou.
At the time of tea, 13,000 cavalry troops suddenly came to Shengle City. Suddenly, without warning, there was a burst of shouts near the gate of Shengle City: "There are enemy troops, someone is attacking, there are enemy troops coming to sneak attack, quickly, quickly notify Da Shan Yu." ”
The monstrous shout, as the cold wind spread in the north of the country, also reached the big tent of the Tuoba tribe Da Danyu, Tuoba Yilu put down the wine cup, clenched the sword in his waist with his left hand, and asked the guards who came to report with anger in his eyes, "Say, what happened?" ”
"Qi Da Dan Yu, a lot of cavalry troops suddenly appeared in Shengle City, they cut and killed people when they saw them, and now they are killing here, please Da Dan Yu evacuate quickly!" The white-haired sweat who came anxiously was anxiously reporting the incident to Tuoba Yilu.
Tuoba Yilu waved his right hand and said disapprerovitously: "Just rebellious, what is there to be afraid of, I want to see with my own eyes how this group of rebels was killed, so that I can vent the hatred in my heart." ”
Tuoba Yilu put on armor and held weapons, and led a group of guards out, until he walked to the street, he found that the entire Shengle City had already become a pot of porridge, and there were already torches inside and outside Shengle City, and the figures were longing, the sound of armor and weapons hitting each other, the neighing of horses, the screams of Xianbei people, and all kinds of sounds were in my ears.
Seeing Da Shan Yu come out, the guards who had been waiting for a long time hurriedly gathered around, and at this time, nearly a thousand people had gathered around Tuoba Yilu, and he led people to rush towards the place where the shouting and killing were most intense, while asking the guards around him, "Where is the Right Virtuous King?" Have you figured out what the rebellion was? ”
"Qi Yu Da Dan Yu, the Right Virtuous King has disappeared, as for the rebels...... Yes," one of the guards replied with a cautious glance at Tuoba Yilu.
"Huh?! Who the hell is it? Say! Tuoba Yilu asked, narrowing his eyes.
"Yes, Da Shan Yu, the rebel is King Zuoxian."
"What, who do you say?"
"Yes, yes, it's King Zuoxian."
"Tuoba Liuxiu, you rebel! I'm going to arrest you and break your body into pieces! ”
As soon as Tuoba Yilu heard that his son was rebelling against him, he was immediately furious. He didn't like this eldest son in the first place, but now he hated the other party to the core. It's a pity that he can only live by now, and whether he can survive this time is still a question.
Just not far from here, Tuoba Liuxiu and Shi Le were commanding the elite to slaughter their own people, the three thousand Qiang people were really powerful, there were almost no opponents in the entire Shengle City, and groups of Xianbei people fell under the swords of the Qiang cavalry. Tuoba Liuxiu raised his eyes and found that a group of no less than a thousand cavalry was killing here not far ahead.
Isn't the person who walked in front of him the biological father he had always hated so much, although he wanted to kill the other party at first, but when he really faced his father, Tuoba Liuxiu was still a little hesitant in his heart.
Tuoba Yilu here also found the eldest son who was leading the soldiers to fight, and when he saw the other party, he couldn't wait to scold, "You rebel!" If you don't get off your horse and be bound, do you really want to kill your father? ”
Tuoba Yilu's scolding suddenly made some shrewd people's faces change suddenly, the current situation is Tuoba Liuxiu occupies the initiative, if Tuoba Yilu says something soft, maybe he can still save his life, he said such things at this time can only further anger Tuoba Liuxiu, forcing him to the point where there is no way out.
Sure enough, after listening to Tuoba Yilu's words, Tuoba Liuxiu's cheeks twitched, and a trace of madness suddenly appeared in his eyes, only to see that after he was silent for a moment, he suddenly shouted, "Kill!" Kill! Kill! ”
After shouting, Tuoba Liuxiu beat the horse and knife and killed Tuoba Yilu, followed by a large number of cavalry of the Qiang tribe and his henchmen. The fierce cavalry of the Qiang tribe was really not something that Tuoba Yilu's subordinates could deal with, and as soon as the two sides fought, Tuoba Yilu's subordinates were killed and retreated.
Tuoba Yilu could not stop the decline even after killing a few officers, and in the continuous fighting, from time to time there were soldiers who came up and down in a miserable cry, and then were trampled into pulp by the army swarming behind.
Tuoba Liuxiu has been paying attention to his father's movements, and he is also looking for opportunities to get close to each other, and finally with the help of Shile, Tuoba Liuxiu finally meets his father Tuoba Yilu on the battlefield. This is the cleverness of Shi Le, he knows very well that only by letting Tuoba Liuxiu kill Tuoba Yilu can the Tuoba tribe be completely pulled to the side of the Han Kingdom. Just now, he had secretly ordered his clansmen cavalry to let them give up Tuoba Yilu to Tuoba Liuxiu.
Tuoba Liuxiu looked at his disheveled and panting father in the formation, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and he grabbed his saber and slashed at the other party. Perhaps Tuoba Yilu had never had his own son really do it to him, and at this moment he was dumbfounded, and even forgot to fight back.
The big knife flashed a white light in the air, rushing like lightning to slash at Tuoba Yilu's neck, seeing that Tuoba Yilu was about to die on the spot, only to see a guard desperately knock Tuoba Yilu away, and he himself was split in half by Tuoba Liuxiu's knife.
"Poof!" A burst of hot blood suddenly sprayed Tuoba Yilu's body, and after being aroused by the blood, Tuoba Yilu finally came to his senses, his eldest son really wanted to kill him! After reacting, Tuoba Yilu couldn't help but feel a sadness in his heart, looking at his eldest son who was like a wounded wolf, he felt so strange and indifferent! (To be continued......)
