Chapter 70: No
Liu Ziqiu did not bring his escort team of dozens of people into Mullin's camp. First, to show his trust in Mu Lin, and second, if Mu Lin had any bad intentions, it would be useless for these dozens of people to enter the camp, on the contrary, without these people, Liu Ziqiu would have less worries and could come and go freely. When he was fast entering the big tent, Liu Ziqiu saw a big stone next to the tent door. This stone is afraid to weigh a thousand pounds, and it has been here for hundreds of years, although it is a lot of obstacles to camping, but it can also be used to tie a cable.
Seeing this big stone, Liu Ziqiu suddenly had an idea, he patted it on the stone as if casually, and then lifted the curtain and walked into the big tent.
Mu Lin didn't know why, so he heard a "bang", and the huge stone shattered into countless small pieces, and collapsed in an instant.
This sudden change stunned everyone. Although Mu Duoli knew Liu Ziqiu's bravery on the bed, and also knew that he seemed to have the ability to be "invulnerable", she had never really seen Liu Ziqiu's skills. Seeing such a boulder shattering in front of her, Mu Duoli was also faceless, but she was soon overjoyed. The Turkic girl loves heroes and can smash boulders with one palm, but who else can do it but her lover? Isn't her lover a big hero who stands up to the sky?
Mu Lin is worthy of being the leader of the tribe, although he is still a little frightened, but his face is much calmer, he hurriedly walked into the big tent, and said with his forked hands: "I don't know what Lord Liu is doing when he comes to the villain's tribe today?" ”
"You're my father-in-law, I'm here to see you." Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "The son-in-law came this time, and there is a rich gift!" ”
Of course, Mu Lin knew that what Liu Ziqiu said earlier was polite, so he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Please make it clear to Lord Liu!" ”
Liu Ziqiu said with a smile: "We Han people have a saying, called thirty years of Hedong, thirty years of Hexi. The son-in-law heard that there were two major Turkic tribes, and the people who served as Turkic khans were all from the Ashina tribe, while the father-in-law's Ashid tribe could only become a descendant clan and not a royal family. I don't know if there is such a thing? ”
Mu Lin immediately felt in his heart: "This is the rule that this has been set by the Turkic tribes for thousands of years, what is this for?" ”
Liu Ziqiu's face sank and said: "The rules are set by people!" Good rules must be followed, unreasonable rules must be broken and innovated! When this rule was formulated, the Ashina tribe was strong and the Ashid tribe was weak, so there was nothing wrong with that. Now that the times are different, the strength of the Ashid clan is already above the Ashina clan, why do you still have to abide by this rule? ”
Mu Lin shook his head and said, "Where did Lord Liu hear that the strength of the Ashina clan is not as good as ours Ashid clan?" There is no hearsay to count. ”
More than 100 years ago, in order to avoid internal Turkic warfare, the leaders of both sides agreed on this rule. At that time, the Ashina tribe was only slightly stronger than the Ashid tribe. But since the Ashina clan became a royal family and the Ashid clan became a descendant clan, the whole situation has gradually changed, and the gap between the two sides has become wider and wider. Mullin's tribe is already the most powerful tribe among the Ashid tribe, and its strength is only comparable to the Lifa tribe before the accident, and it is not as good as the current tribe of the association rate. As for the Hongzhan tribe, which ranks second among the Asid tribes, its strength is even half that of the Dumi tribe.
Today's Turkic is no longer a situation where two ethnic groups stand side by side, but the Ashina ethnic group dominates. This was the result of the wrong decisions of the leaders of the Ashid tribes at that time, but of course, this result was beneficial to the Turks as a whole.
Mullin's current situation is not optimistic. Hongzhan's tribe is now the queen's tribe, and Hongzhan will definitely expand his power with the support of the Agishi. However, Hongzhan belonged to the Ashid tribe after all, and he wanted to expand his power, and it was impossible for the Jishi to allow him to make moves against other Ashina tribes, but could only gradually annex other Ashid tribes. The tribe of the Asid tribe is already weak, and if Hongzhan wants to develop rapidly, the best way is to fight the idea of the Mulin tribe. In addition to worrying that the tribe would be raided by the Han cavalry entering the grassland, and worried that his strength would be damaged in the battle of the southern invasion, Hongzhan would have an opportunity, which was also an important reason for Mullin's withdrawal.
Liu Ziqiu laughed and said: "This is not hearsay, but caused by the son-in-law!" ”
Mu Lin remembered what his daughter had just said, and couldn't help but change his face and said, "What does Lord Liu mean by this?" ”
Liu Ziqiu wrenched his fingers and said, "Tong Lifa's tribe has been completely annihilated by my son-in-law. Three days ago, my men and horses had captured the Doumi tribe again. Although my people did not take away the cattle, sheep and women of the Dumi tribe, their desire to recover is by no means something that can be achieved overnight. Next, my men will sweep through the tribes of the association rate until they conquer the Turkic tent! ”
Speaking of this, Liu Ziqiu suddenly paused, his face showed a fierce sè, and he said sharply: "If it weren't for Mu Duoli's face, do you think Liu would have time to sit here and chat with you slowly?" Liu's army is ten miles away, as long as Liu gives an order, they will level your tribe! ”
Mu Lin gritted his teeth and sneered, "Lord Liu is a little overconfident. My tribe has 20,000 jīng rides, how can it be a soft pestle for others to handle! ”
There are no tree trees on the grassland, and Mullin probably hasn't seen a tree before, but he doesn't know where he learned this sentence.
Liu Ziqiu laughed loudly: "Of course Liu has this confidence!" Liu heard that the tribe of the association rate is only a hundred miles away, and Liu will sweep away the tribe of the association rate, if you are interested, you may as well go with Liu's army to watch the battle, and you will know the end when the time comes! ”
Mu Lin was at war with heaven and man in his heart, and only after a while did he say: "Okay, the old man will go with Lord Liu!" ”
That night, Mu Lin wanted to set up a banquet in the big tent to entertain Liu Ziqiu, but Liu Ziqiu politely declined, and the two sides agreed to meet ten miles north of the camp tomorrow morning. On the way out of the Mulin tribe camp, Liu Ziqiu finally couldn't help but ask, "Mu Duoli, what did you say to your father?" ”
Mu Duoli smiled slyly: "I jǐng sue him, if you are distressed, you will step on his camp and snatch his woman, just as you robbed me." ”
Liu Ziqiu was speechless for a while, and said, "Did you say that about your father?" ”
Mu Duoli "Gege" smiled: "Don't be angry, master, I'm teasing you." I told him that you have an army of 100,000 miles away, and if he dares to be unfavorable to the master, he must be ready to let all of them be buried with him! ”
Liu Ziqiu shook his head and said, "Where am I going to conjure up 100,000 horses to show him tomorrow?" ”
Mu Duoli's face was bitter, and she said, "Master, the slave knows her mistakes. The slave didn't know that the master was going to invite him to watch the battle. ”
As he spoke, they had reached the edge of the grassland where the army was stationed, and the two of them jumped off their horses together. Liu Ziqiu slapped Mu Duoli's plump and upright two fat buttocks, and said fiercely: "Let you talk nonsense, see how I punish you tonight!" ”
Mu Duoli "sighed", her face showed pain, but her heart was secretly happy, which showed that Liu Ziqiu did not blame her at all.
……
In the early morning of the next day, Liu Ziqiu gathered 10,000 jīng soldiers and went to the north to join Mu Lin. Mullin was already waiting there. Although he said that he was just watching the battle and did not participate, for the sake of insurance, Mu Lin still brought five thousand jīng to ride. Seeing that Liu Ziqiu only brought about 10,000 horses, Mu Lin was a little surprised, and arched his hand and said, "Lord Liu, I heard that you have 100,000 soldiers, how can you only bring such a small number of people?" I'm afraid that the association led the tribe to stay behind more than that. ”
The association rate tribe is the tribe before the first Bi Khan Duji Dynasty, with a total of 25,000 young and strong herdsmen, and is the most powerful tribe in the Mobei grassland. A few days after Mu Lin returned from the moraine, he knew that the association had taken away 15,000 jīng soldiers, and there should be tens of thousands of horses left in the tribe. Coupled with the fighting teenagers and old men in the tribe, an army of 30,000 people can still be mobilized in an emergency. With one enemy and three enemies, Mullin was a little apprehensive in his heart. If it weren't for hearing Mu Duoli say yesterday that Liu Ziqiu had an army of 100,000, he wouldn't be willing to take this risk. But where did he think that he was cheated by his daughter.
Liu Ziqiu waved his hand without thinking and said: "Liu just wants you to see with your own eyes how Liu's soldiers won a big victory when the troops were weak!" ”
Originally, according to the established policy, Liu Ziqiu's army of 30,000 always acted together. But in order to confuse Mu Lin and to make a lie for Mu Duoli, Liu Ziqiu decided to bring only 10,000 horses. Of course, if there are disadvantages, there are advantages, the grassland respects the strong, if Liu Ziqiu's 10,000 troops can really sweep away the tribes of the association, Mu Lin will definitely admire the five bodies to the ground, and the next thing will be solved.
In order to make Mu Lin more convinced, Liu Ziqiu did not take the means of a surprise attack, but first sent a team of 1,000 people to the tribe of the association rate to disturb him, and then he withdrew and waited for a formation five miles south of the tribe of the association. Sure enough, when he learned that the Han army was only about 10,000 people, he led the tribe to exhaust his troops. In the center are the 10,000 young men, and on the left and right are old men and teenagers who can ride horses and arrows. Many of these old men have also survived countless wars, and although they are old, their skills in riding shè have not fallen behind, and their combat effectiveness should definitely not be underestimated.
Five miles further south, on a high slope, Mullin witnessed the war with his own eyes, and with him stood his daughter Mudori. Originally, Mu Duoli insisted on fighting side by side with Liu Ziqiu, but Liu Ziqiu understood the cruelty of this battle, and she was not allowed to be in danger no matter what.
The battle was extremely brutal, first after you exchanged bows and arrows, and then entered the hand-to-hand combat. The riders of the Covenant tribe wore all kinds of leather jackets, gray and white, and looked like a lake. But Liu Ziqiu's subordinates were all wearing uniform black armor, like a black dragon turning over the river and the sea. From noon until the sun set in the west, one side finally showed a tendency to be overwhelmed.
