Chapter 5 Cutting the grass and removing the roots

Tuoba Yuanju was in the middle of his blood, and when he heard this, he was furious and said: "I see who dares!" ”

After speaking, with a wave of his hand, thousands of Tuoba soldiers who had been prepared for a long time poured out with a hula, arrows were wound, knives were unsheathed, and the conflict was about to break out. High-speed updates //

Tuoba Qianyu suddenly walked out of the stockade and said coquettishly: "Jiaoliyan, what do you want to do!" ”

After the attack and defense of Weiding City began, Tuoba Qianyu tried to sneak over to participate in the battle twice, but Tuoba Mumi chased back. Now, wherever she goes, she is always followed by four handmaidens with big shoulders and round waists. However, Tuoba Muya also promised to tell her the news of the scout's discovery at any time. Today, Tuoba Qianyu has not waited for the news of Weiding City, and finally can't hold it back, so he went to the mouth of the village to see if the scouts have returned, and as a result, he encountered this conflict.

Jiao Liyan saw Tuoba Qianyu, hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted, and said, "Qiqi Mastermother, we are here to arrest Murong Fuyun on the order of the lord." ”

In Weiding City and the Xihai Clan, Tuoba Qianyu also has a special status. However, most people still call her a princess, and the title of "master mother" was first called by Zhao Ling, and Jiao Liyan learned quickly. When she first met Tuoba Qianyu, Kakuriyan didn't know that she was the princess of the party, and even beat her idea. Jiao Liyan chose such a title, but also to warn himself that Tuoba Qianyu was already Liu Ziqiu's woman, and he should no longer think about it.

Tuoba Qianyu was overjoyed and said, "So, brother, they won!" ”

Tumulu also stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I haven't seen the lord yet, but this battle has been won by a great victory, and his subordinates have wiped out more than 500 of his soldiers and horses alone. Murong Fuyun no longer has the strength to return to heaven, and now that he has fled into your village, I hope that the princess can persuade the prince and the second prince to make it convenient and hand over Murong Fuyun, so that the two of us can go back to the business. ”

"Hehe, it turned out to be a misunderstanding." Tuoba Mumi didn't wait for his daughter to answer, so he glanced at Tuoba Yuanju and said, "Murong Fuyun is indeed in the village, but he has already been taken by me, and he is planning to personally send him to Weiding City, so this matter will not trouble the two of you." ”

His mind was spinning. If Tumulu and Jiao Liyan were telling the truth, and the Xianbei people who had dominated the West Sea for decades would surely collapse from now on, then there would be no need for him to provide protection to Murong Fuyun. But before the party was unified, Tuoba Mumi was not stupid enough to compete with Liu Ziqiu, so it was a very wise choice to hand over Murong Fuyun to Liu Ziqiu. However, he didn't hand over the people directly to Tumulu and Jiaoriyan and his own little abacus.

Because of Tuoba Qianyu's face, it is inconvenient for Tumulu and Jiaoliyan to press too hard. The two glanced at each other, and Tumulu asked, "I wonder when the prince will leave?" ”

Tuoba Mumi laughed and said, "Without further ado, I'll go tonight!" ”

Tuoba Qianyu was concerned about Liu Ziqiu's safety, and said eagerly: "Father, I'll go too!" ”

Tuoba Mumi's face sank and said, "Your relationship with Lord Liu has been decided, but Lord Liu is a Han Chinese, what kind of system will you become if you show your face like this again!" ”

Tuoba Qianyu had to retreat to the side unwillingly.

At this time, Tuoba Yuanju had already asked Murong Fuyun to be brought out, and Tumulu and Jiao Liyan were allowed to verify their bodies, and then Wuhua was tied to the horse. Tuoba Mumi only ordered five hundred cavalry, waved his hand and said, "Two, please." ”

Tuoba Mumi went in person, and he didn't bring many soldiers, so Tumulu dispelled his doubts.

Jiao Liyan said again: "Lord Wang, there is another person who is also wanted by my lord, I don't know if he can be in the stockade?" ”

"Who?"

"Jinbo!"

Tuoba Mumi knew Jin Bo, he lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "Murong Fuyun's entourage has a total of sixteen people, all of whom have been beheaded by my order, but there is really no Jin Bo inside. If you don't believe it, you can ask Murong Fuyun. ”

Murong Fuyun just sneered and remained silent. was busy running for his life along the way, and Murong Fuyun really didn't see the fact that Jin Bo fell off the horse halfway. However, even if he knew Jinbo's whereabouts, he would not say it. Anyway, he is already in a catastrophe, why not leave Liu Ziqiu in suspense?

Tumulu saw that Tuoba Mumi was sure, but it was not good to really search in the village, so he had to aim his eyes at Tuoba Qianyu. Tuoba Qianyu is also a smart person in Bingxue, she twisted her waist and returned to the stockade. After a few moments, Takuba Qianyu returned to this place and shook his head slightly, confirming Tuoba Muya's words. Tuoba Qianyu is most sympathetic to Lin Qiao'er's plight, so she also hates Jin Bo deeply, she has absolutely no reason to help Jin Bo cover up, and Tumulu and Jiao Liyan have no choice but to give up.

No one thought that Jin Bo had already turned into a pile of dust in the chaos, and this matter had also become an unsolved case that had plagued Liu Ziqiu for many years.

Tuoba Mumi personally escorted Murong Fuyun on the road, but Tumulu and Jiao Liyan were not at ease after all, and each led the people of the headquarters, one left and one right to sandwich Tuoba Mumi in the middle. Unbeknownst to them, after they left, Tuoba Yuanju led a large group of men and horses straight to the Xianbei camp on the banks of the Khartengol River. Murong Fuyun was defeated, but there were still many old and weak women and children in the camp, many cattle, sheep and horses, and many slaves. For the Tuoba Department, these are low-hanging fruits.

Although the Dangxiang people were half-herding and half-farming, like those nomadic tribes, they practiced slavery. However, the slaves of the various tribes were not bought, but plundered through war. When the Xianbei people controlled the West Sea, most of the slaves belonged to the Xianbei people, and other tribes had no chance to loot the slaves. Now, Murong Fuyun and his Xianbei tribe are finished, and the fate of those women and children in the Xianbei tribe is only to become slaves, and the other tribes that get the news will not let go of this piece of fat, it depends on who will start faster.

Of course, there should be as many as sixty or seventy thousand women, children, and slaves from the Xianbei tribes combined, and with the current strength of the Tuoba Tribe, it is impossible to plunder them all, because they will not be able to support them at all due to the sudden increase in so many populations. But Tuoba Mumi is not a soft-hearted person, and his wishful thinking is very fine, not only to strengthen his own strength, but also not to let others share this piece of fat. Therefore, when he sent Tuoba Yuanju to the Hartengol River, he gave a very bloody order to kill all those who were not picked!

At this moment, it was not only the Tuoba Department that was staring at this piece of fat, but Hun Luo and the thin sealing department that had suffered heavy losses had already set their sights there. There are also many tribes, large and small, who do not want to let go of this feast. Pity the Xianbei people who have been in this land for decades, and now they have become Tang monk meat that everyone wants to take a bite of.

……

A sudden heavy snowfall during the night slowed down the journey of people from all walks of life. However, these people were very adaptable, and there were various ways to avoid the wind and snow, and after a few hours, the heavy snow gradually stopped, and the team set out on the road one after another, and finally arrived at the Xianbei camp on the banks of the Hartengol River at noon the next day.

Tuoba Yuanju did not come early, and in front of him, the leaders of the small tribes of Xifengye Lilan, Hun Luo, and four or five small tribes had already arrived there. Immediately afterwards, Xiang Li Duoyun and others also arrived one after another. Seeing this scene, Tuoba Yuanju didn't care about killing people, he just wanted to grab more slaves and go back, and how much he could rob.

At this time, Xifeng Ye Lilan and Hun Luo took the initiative to greet them, shook their heads and smiled bitterly: "Hehe, the second prince is also here, but I am afraid that he will also return in vain." ”

Tuoba Yuanju was stunned for a moment and asked, "The Xianbei people fled?" ”

Hun Luo sighed and said: "The Xianbei people didn't escape, but Lord Liu was inside, who would dare to do it?" ”

Because Tuoba Mumi is his father, Tuoba Qianyu did not hide the situation of the troops in Weiding City. Tuoba Mumi knew that there were only 3,000 cavalry in Weiding City, so he personally went out and used Murong Fuyun to firmly tie the 2,000 cavalry of Tumulu and Jiaoliyan, but he didn't expect Liu Ziqiu to rush here first.

In fact, Liu Ziqiu set off no earlier than them, and the road was not closer than them, but when they were hiding from the wind and snow at night, Liu Ziqiu was leading 3,000 men and horses to advance in the snow. Although it has entered April, the night in the West Sea is still cold, especially when the wind and snow are heavy, and no one is willing to rush outside. But Liu Ziqiu knew that time was running out, he had to control these remaining Xianbei women and children in front of everyone, and no matter how big the difficulty was, it could only be overcome.

Don't look at these sixty or seventy thousand Xianbei people as just women, children and slaves, but as long as they are given time to recuperate, ten years later, they will recover their vitality and become a decisive and even decisive force in the West Sea, Liu Ziqiu will definitely not give them such a chance.

For this operation, Liu Ziqiu made careful preparations. He brought out cavalry, wrestlers, and pikemen, a full three thousand, almost the most elite force in Weiding City. Because of the overnight march, the soldiers took adequate measures to keep warm, and used a lot of snow plows. Even so, without strong perseverance, it would not have been possible to reach the Khaltengol River so quickly.

Eager to make up for his losses in the war by plundering Xianbei slaves, he was the most active and the second to arrive here after Liu Ziqiu. He didn't see Liu Ziqiu, but he saw the soldiers on guard around the camp, so he didn't dare to move on. After a while, Hun Luo also came, and he didn't dare to go in either. Later, more and more people gathered outside the camp, until the arrival of Tuoba Yuanju and Xiangliduoyun, more than 15,000 people had gathered outside.

The fat is in front of you, but you can't eat it, and everyone is secretly anxious. Although Tuoba Yuanju was also a little afraid of Liu Ziqiu, he didn't want to lose this great opportunity, so he pulled the reins and said loudly: "Brothers, rush in with me!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, there was a sudden sound of drums in the camp. Thousands of people and horses flocked out, and the first one person was carrying a Mo knife, it was Liu Ziqiu. Liu Ziqiu gently waved the Mo knife in his hand, and shouted: "Second prince, what do you want?" ”

These leaders had all seen Liu Ziqiu's skills, and when they saw Liu Ziqiu's murderous spirit, their faces changed. Xiang Li Duoyun was the most clever, and immediately saluted on the horse: "Lord Liu, cut the grass and remove the roots, and we will come to help the Lord to exterminate the remnants of Murong Fuyun." ”

Liu Ziqiu laughed and said: "Liu can't do the murder of women and children." However, it's good that you're here, Liu Mouzheng has something to ask for your help! ”
