Shengle is now the ruling center of Tuoba Xianbei in the south. However, in the Western Han Dynasty, Shengle belonged to Dingxiang County, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it belonged to Yunzhong County. It was not until the Cao Wei period that Dingxiang County and Yunzhong County were relocated, and Shengle was abandoned.

Later, Tuoba Xianbei's ancestor Liwei stationed in Shengle, and Tuoba Yilu established a regime, with Shengle as the northern capital. Tuoba Xianbei gradually became stronger, and after Tuoba Six Cultivation became self-reliant, Shengle was even more prosperous for a while.

With Tuoba Liuxiu deciding to fight south, the atmosphere of war in Shengle City became more and more intense, and almost every day Xianbei warriors went south from here, and Xianbei soldiers who retreated from the south came here to rest and recuperate. On this day, thousands of remnants of soldiers returned from the south and entered Shengle City. Some Xianbei herdsmen blocked the streets, watching each other and talking.

"Could it be that the great Xianbei warriors have been defeated by the Han people again?" Seeing such a group of dejected Xianbei soldiers, almost everyone thought of it this way. However, there is still a trace of unwillingness in their hearts, hoping that a miracle can appear. The Hu people had only managed to live a good life for a few days, and they didn't want to be driven back to the prairie by the Han people.

"Great Xianbei warriors, have you already defeated the Han people? What about the Han Chinese slaves you plundered? A Xianbei herdsman asked boldly.

"What a Han slave, it's good that Lao Tzu can come back safely! Our army encountered a strong resistance from the Jin army on the side of the Great Wall, and has been trapped at the foot of the Great Wall for more than half a month. A Xianbei general replied with a gloomy face.

"Ahh This, how is this possible? How could the brave and invincible Xianbei warriors not be able to defeat even the cowardly Han Chinese? Could it be that all the news that has been secretly circulated before is true? The Han not only defeated the Qiang, Di, and Xiongnu. At the same time, he also defeated the Wuhuan people, the Xianbei people, and the Qian people, in short, all the Hu people who were enemies of the Han people were attacked by the other party frantically. ”

After the surrounding Xianbei people learned that the front line had been defeated, they were in an uproar, and they remembered the news that the Han people had massacred the Hu people some time ago, and some people even began to cry. The battle on the front line was not going well, not only the ordinary Xianbei people became panicked, but even some Xianbei nobles began to move.

Some Xianbei nobles who were dissatisfied with the rule of Tuoba Liuxiu began to secretly contact the two Tuoba tribes in the central and northern regions. Tuoba Biyan, who was taken away by Tuoba Pugen, also secretly contacted some of the old tribes, preparing to take back the ruling power of Tuoba in the south of Tuoba at the right time.

"By the way, since the war on the front line is not good. Why did you come back? Did you become deserters? "Some Xianbei people who have nowhere to vent their anger. began to sprinkle fire on this group of Xianbei soldiers.

"Bold! We are ordered by Da Dan Yu to go back to Shengle to rest, see who dares to slander us as deserters? A Xianbei general couldn't help but be furious when he heard that someone slandered his subordinates as deserters.

"Hurry up and disperse, there will be important information to inform the Great Khan. If you wait for the obsession again, Hugh blame will turn his face and not recognize people! "Under the threat of force from the Xianbei chieftain. The Xianbei herdsmen on both sides made way of the way.

Inside Shengle City. Tuoba 6 corrected and discussed the military situation on the front line with his henchmen. The current Tuoba Six Cultivators have long lost their ambitions, and some are only how to protect the foundation in the hands of the Lord. He looked at several henchmen with a gloomy face, and his low voice swirled in the big tent; "Ladies and gentlemen. Tuoba South has reached the point of life and death, where to go, please speak freely! ”

"Great Khan, we have been blocked by the Jin army at the foot of the Great Wall for more than ten days, and the loss of troops alone is no less than 30,000 people, if we are consumed at the foot of the Great Wall with the Jin army, we will not need the Jin army to fight us in the future, and we ourselves will collapse first." A Xianbei general said with a frown.

"What does the Right Virtuous King have a high opinion, say it and let everyone hear it!" Seeing that everyone didn't take the initiative to speak, Tuoba Liuxiu had no choice but to order.

"Ahem, Qi Qi Khan, my subordinates think that we only have two ways to go at the moment. One is to make a part of the troops contain the main force of the frontal Jin army, and then attack the interior of the Jin army through the state, which is expected to break the current predicament; The other way is to compromise with the Jin army and immediately withdraw our main force from the line of the Great Wall and withdraw from the Hu Alliance. King Youxian pondered for a moment and came up with two ways out of the current crisis.

As soon as the words of the Right Sage King fell, everyone present fell silent, and everyone was calculating the advantages and disadvantages of the two plans in their hearts, and in fact, they were also calculating which path could make their lives the most profitable.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the first road is no longer passable, just last night there was news from Bingzhou, a group of Jin troops broke through the Yellow River defense line, and then took Mayi in one fell swoop, and now the entire northwest of Bingzhou has fallen into the hands of the Jin army. In this way, even if we want to go through the annexation state, we can't do it. Tuoba Liuxiu told his subordinates the news he had just gotten.

"This, how is this possible?"

"The Huns are! How could it be attacked by the Jin army? ”

Sure enough, when the news that Ma Yi fell into the hands of the Jin army, the Xianbei generals present immediately became flustered. The appearance of the Jin army in the northwest of Bingzhou meant that the connection between the Xianbei people and the Xiongnu was completely severed, and it also meant that the Xiongnu people in Bingzhou no longer had a chance to live. After the Jin people clean up the Huns, I'm afraid it will be their turn.

"This news is very unfortunate for us, the war has been carried out to this point, I believe that everyone here has seen that the defeat of our Hu people has been revealed, and it will not be long before the Jin army will go north to the desert. Moreover, the Han emperor hated the Hu people very much, and the land under our feet was the homeland of the Han people, coupled with the previous betrayal of the alliance, so no matter what aspect it is, the Han people will definitely not let us go in the future. ”

Tuoba Liuxiu was very depressed, he thought that by killing his father and driving away his brother, he would be able to do whatever he wanted and live happily. How did he know that when he became the Great Khan, he knew that the leader of a tribe was not so easy to be. The good external environment that Tuoba Yilu had won for Tuoba Nan during his reign had long been destroyed by him.

Now Tuoba South not only has to deal with the aggressive Jin army in the south, but he also has to face the threat posed by Tuoba Pugen and Tuoba Biyan in the north, these two guys have used their influence in the southern tribes to never relax their infiltration into the south of Tuoba in recent times.

"Great Khan, what are we going to do? You can't just sit back and wait for death like this, right? A Xianbei general couldn't help but ask.

In the face of the accusations and interrogations of the generals, Tuoba Liuxiu could only be silent, he really had no good way. He wanted to negotiate peace with Jin Jun, but he also understood that the price of this peace was definitely very high, and it was possible that he could not afford it. Now that he has encountered such an urgent situation, Tuoba Liuxiu has already discussed with his subordinates many times, but each time he has not come up with a feasible plan. As for the future of Tuoba South, don't say that other people don't even know what to do next.

"Great Khan front line emergency!" Just when everyone was feeling confused about their future, a dusty Xianbei soldier staggered in. Tuoba Liuxiu was taken aback when he heard this, and when he grabbed the emergency report, his face suddenly turned pale.

It turned out that just a few days ago, the Jin army on the front line of the Great Wall launched an artillery bombardment on the Xianbei people, and in the shelling, the Xianbei people were all in a mess. The Xianbei army, which was originally preparing to launch an attack on the passes of the Jin army, did not dare to advance anymore and retreated one after another.

The army on the right under the command of Ubatu is even more like the hell of Shura. A large number of Xianbei soldiers desperately fled to the back, but the Jin army fired shells down, and often dozens or hundreds of people were gone. The Right Route Army had already suffered heavy losses under the heavy artillery bombardment of the Jin army, and was unable to fight again.

Under the orders of Ubatu, the Xianbei people began a hurried retreat. The fierce artillery bombardment of the Great Jin army, as well as the tragic scene on the position after the shelling, finally made these Xianbei cavalry, who had always been arrogant, completely frightened. Many soldiers no longer dared to forget the Jin army's position to attack, and after receiving the order to retreat, they immediately ran away.

The artillery bombardment launched by the Jin artillery probably lasted less than an hour before it ended. After the shelling, countless corpses of Xianbei people were left on the position that stretched for thousands of miles. The position was full of dense pits, as well as the stumps and severed arms of the Xianbei people. Of the 50,000 Xianbei led by Ubatu, more than 10,000 were killed in the shelling, and the troops he had lost before strengthening were now only about 25,000 in his hands.

In other words, the Xianbei people lost almost half of their troops, but they still broke the defense line of the Great Wall. Not to mention attacking the hinterland of Guanzhong, according to the current situation, by the time the Xianbei people reach Chang'an, it is estimated that there will be no more people left.

In just one month, the situation has changed dramatically. In terms of Dajin, the vast number of people rejoiced after learning about the great victory of the Shangdang and the great victory of the Whale Sea, as if they were celebrating the New Year. Many began to organize parades spontaneously to celebrate the victory. Even the Jiangdong people, who had always been at odds with Sima Shu, were very excited when they learned that the Jin army had defeated the Hu people in the north.

Whether it is Jiangdong locals or Wang Dun, Wang Dao and others, in the final analysis, they are all Han people, and of course they all hope that the Han court can achieve a big victory. Even in the original history, the Eastern Jin Dynasty court never called the Hu regime a vassal or a friendly and paid tribute, which shows that Wang Dun and others still have a certain degree of nationalist thinking.

Compared with the joyful Great Jin, the southern tribes of Tuoba are gloomy and bleak. The southern expedition failed, and half of the army was wiped out. This caused great panic within the southern part of Tuoba. At this time, Tuoba Liuxiu had to recognize a fact, that is, choosing to fight against the Great Jin was definitely the most stupid move.

Now that he wanted to negotiate with the Jin people, Tuoba Liuxiu looked at the gloomy sky in the distance, just like the fate of him and the Tuoba tribe, and could not see a ray of light. (To be continued......)
