On the vast grassland outside the Saiwai, Yu Jiulu Honghu stood on the high mountain, looking at the eagles hovering in the sky, and couldn't help but mourn in his heart.

In the past month, Zhao Zhao's state army has eliminated many of his footholds, causing the hearts of the people to be scattered, and many tribes have submitted to Yu Jiulu Nagui.

Everywhere Yu Jiulu Nagui went, everyone looked at the wind and descended, and people with discerning eyes could see that Yu Jiulu Honghu had reached the end of the crossbow.

Yu Jiulu Honghu endured the displeasure in his heart, and just asked, "How many more people do we have?" ”

"Great Khan, we still have more than 30,000 men."

When he heard that there were only 30,000 people under his account, Yu Jiulu Honghu, who was prepared, couldn't help but be stunned.

Yu Jiulu Honghu sighed, and then slowly descended the mountain.

At this time, on the grassland below the mountain, his cavalry troops were resting leisurely under the mountain, the horses were drinking water by the river, and the tribal warriors were sitting on the grass, looking forward to the Yu Jiulu Honghu walking down the mountain.

Yu Jiulu Honghu made a difficult decision at this moment, he recruited a few cronies and said: "Now that the general trend has gone, Yu Jiulu Nagui, that traitor, has informed the Han people of our grassland, and this is not a long-term place. At the beginning, my father said that the Zhao family's iron cavalry was unstoppable, and when we met this time, I realized that what I said was true. ”

Yu Jiulu Honghu can defeat Yu Jiulu Nagui and win the position of Khan, naturally he is not an ordinary person, etc., and now the only way to save himself, in fact, he has already thought about it.

Yu Jiulu Honghu then said: "I decided to surrender to Northern Qin, but not to Zhao Zhao, we went all the way south along the grassland, not to merge with the state, directly from the direction of Liangzhou to Chang'an to surrender." ”

Yu Jiulu Honghu knew that if he surrendered to Zhao Zhao, even if Zhao Zhao didn't kill him, Yu Jiulu Nagui would definitely find an opportunity to harm himself. Now if you want to save your life, you can only bypass the Northern Expeditionary Army of Northern Qin and surrender directly to the central government, and allow yourself to survive in Liangzhou at that time, not without a chance to make a comeback.

And the grassland is fighting for the population, he is confident that he still has a certain number of people on the grassland, and when he has a foothold, there will naturally be clansmen looking for him.

Seeing how reluctant the generals were, Yu Jiulu Honghu slammed his knife into the ground, which immediately startled everyone.

Yu Jiulu Honghu said angrily: "You don't want to think about it, you are all my cronies, even if you surrender Yu Jiulu Nagui, can he let you go?" ”

Seeing that everyone was silent, Yu Jiulu Honghu also probably guessed what everyone thought, only to see Yu Jiulu Honghu looking at everyone coldly at the moment, and then said: "In this situation, I don't want to force you." If you want to surrender Zhao Zhao, you can go, and I will surrender to Northern Qin by myself. ”

After speaking, Yu Jiulu Honghu pulled out the knife, stepped on the horse, and went all the way to Liangzhou.

When the rest of the leaders saw this, they all hesitated.

But at this time, one of them suddenly said violently: "The Khan treats us well, how can we abandon him now, I will follow and wait for my own convenience!" ”

With the leader, everyone no longer hesitated, and they kept up with Yu Jiulu Honghu and fled to Liangzhou.

Half a day later, when Yu Jiulu Nagui came here, he saw that it was empty.

Zhao Zhao led the army to drag back at this time, and rode to Yu Jiulu Nagui's side.

Yu Jiulu Nagui looked at this side of the world, and said with emotion: "This is the last royal court of our tribe, Yu Jiulu Honghu is no longer here, he must have escaped." ”

Zhao Zhao also took a closer look at the surrounding situation at this time, and saw many horseshoe prints on the ground, as well as a lot of grass that had been overpowered.

Then Zhao Zhao said: "Yu Jiulu Honghu was indeed here before, but now he is gone, where does the Great Khan think he will go?" ”

Yu Jiulu Nagui was also worried at this time, and kept circling around.

After a long time, Yu Jiulu Nagui said: "I don't know that in the past few days, all the places that can be camped have been occupied by us. Yu Jiulu Honghu fled all the way to the west, and no one knew where he would go. ”

At this time, Yu Jiulu Nagui was worried, although he knew that he had completely controlled the entire grassland, but judging from the performance of the tribe group in the past few days, Yu Jiulu Honghu was quite popular here, and now it is a big trouble to not catch Yu Jiulu Honghu after all.

At this time, Wang Qicuo said: "If I guess correctly, Yu Jiulu Honghu will definitely surrender to the Northern Qin Imperial Court. ”

Zhao Zhao was even more puzzled, and said to Wang Qi: "Why did Mr. Wang say this, if you want to surrender, just surrender to me, why do you want to run away?" ”

Wang Qi smiled faintly at this time, and then looked at Yu Jiulu Nagui.

Wang Qi's gaze made Yu Jiulu Nagui tingle for no reason, but he still didn't understand what he meant.

Wang Qifang said: "Surrender to the general is the general's prisoner." surrendered to the Northern Qin court, it was annexed. The two are completely different, surrendering to the general has no benefit, and even fears of being killed, but surrendering to the imperial court can not only ask for land and horses, but also involve the khan. ”

At this time, Zhao Zhaofang had a feeling of being stunned, but after he experienced the changes in Chang'an, he was not the stunned young man.

He knew that although Wang Qi's words might indeed be true, the purpose of this trip had been achieved, he could be a teacher, Princess Zhaoyang should have given birth, and he couldn't wait to go back to Chang'an to see his newborn child.

Yu Jiulu Nagui grabbed Zhao Zhao at this moment and said: "General Zhao, don't let go of Yu Jiulu Honghu, if this person is not removed, I am uneasy." ”

Zhao Zhao gently shook off Yu Jiulu's hand at Nagui, and then said lightly: "This matter is not for me to decide, now Yu Jiulu Honghu has fled all the way, if he runs to my Northern Qin, even I can't directly arrest him, now there are not many people in Yu Jiulu Honghu, and the Khan can chase it by himself." I will not interfere. ”

When Yu Jiulu Nagui heard this, he knew that Zhao Zhao had already made a decision, and he did not pin his hopes on him at the moment, and led his army to chase along the horse's hooves.

At this time, Zhao Zhao climbed the so-called holy mountain of the Shanhu tribe, stood on the holy mountain, and planted the banner of Northern Qin.

Zhao Zhao was on the top of the mountain, stretched out his arms, and let the mountain wind howl by.

At this time, Zhao Zhao seemed to be in another world, Zhao Zhao closed his eyes, feeling this hard-won victory.

In the space of three months, the state army suffered more than 20,000 casualties, and finally set foot on this high mountain that his father dreamed of conquering.

Subsequently, Zhao Zhao followed Huo Quai's example and worshiped the ancestors of the Northern Qin Dynasty here.

Although this move caused dissatisfaction among the remaining Shanhu tribes, no one dared to stop them when they looked at the Bingzhou army that was waiting for them.

After the tedious ceremony, Zhao Zhao walked down the mountain and said to everyone, "Class teacher." ”

Then Zhao Zhao looked at Yu Jiulu Nalan, who was staying here, and said, "The table and tribute must be sent to Chang'an within a month." Now I have drawn a map of all the strongholds in Shanhu, so don't leave anything to chance. Otherwise, if I lead the troops next time, it will be completely pacified Shanhu. ”

Yu Jiulu Nalan's face was flushed, and his face was gloomy, but he didn't dare to attack, so he had to lower his head and say, "Everything is as the general wants." ”

Yu Jiulu Nagui pursued Yu Jiulu Honghu all the way, but he disappeared after chasing.

On the vast grassland, it was not easy to pursue, and then Yu Jiulu Nagui gave up this idea and decided to return to the Holy Mountain.

But at this moment, suddenly Yu Jiulu Nagui saw a group of people shepherding sheep, and then hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Have you seen many cavalry?" ”

The shepherds were the subordinate tribes of the Shanhu, the Turkic tribes.

The leader Ashina Danxin said: "There are many cavalry, heading towards the direction of Northern Qin Liangzhou. ”

Yu Jiulu's Gui screaming is not good, and it is really like what Wang Qi said, it is to attach Northern Qin.

Don't let Yu Jiulu Honghu become his second self, and then Yu Jiulu Nagui said: "What you said is true? ”

Ashina Danxin nodded yes, and Yu Jiulu Nagui no longer hesitated, and immediately turned around and headed south.

The leader of the Turkic tribe, Ashina Danxin, looked at Yu Jiulu Nagui in the distance, and suddenly a bold idea sprouted in his heart.

Ashina Danxin then looked at an eagle flying in the sky and muttered, "This grassland should change the sky." The Shanhu tribe is no longer worthy to lead the entire steppe. ”

And Yu Jiulu Honghu, who fled all the way south, finally saw the city in the distance after several days and nights of non-stop running.

Yu Jiulu Honghu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart at this time, and then said to everyone: "Daqin is just around the corner, brothers, we are going to be safe!" ”

At this time, Yu Jiulu Honghu was full of thoughts, how to use the resources of Northern Qin like Yu Jiulu Nagui, and then return to the grassland.

Different from Yu Jiulu Nagui, Yu Jiulu Honghu is very politically minded, he is very clear, and a grassland outside the Saiwai with civil strife is exactly what Northern Qin wants to see.

And the people of Yu Jiulu Nagui, who were waiting near the holy mountain, couldn't help but worry when they saw that Yu Jiulu Nagui had not returned after several days of pursuit.

At this time, Zhao Zhao had already been a teacher, and Wang Qi also followed Zhao Zhao away, and he needed to return to the Southern Dynasty immediately to restore his life.

But they didn't know that there was already a civil strife on the steppe at this moment.

Yu Jiulu Nagui saw that Yu Jiulu Honghu had entered the realm of Northern Qin, so he did not dare to pursue it easily, but negotiated with the officials of Northern Qin and asked him to hand over Yu Jiulu Honghu.

But the officials of Northern Qin obviously ignored this request, so Yu Jiu Lu Nagui was depressed, and everyone only had to return along the road.

After many days of pursuit, the people were hungry and thirsty, and after sacking a small tribe as usual, Yu Jiulu Nagui led the people to repair by the river and prepare to return to the holy mountain.

But he didn't notice that there was already a pair of eyes staring at him behind him at this moment.

Just when Yu Jiulu Nagui was slackening, more than 10,000 cavalry suddenly rushed towards them.

Feeling the shaking of the earth, Yu Jiulu Nagui was very puzzled, but he was alert and still ordered everyone to mount and prepare to meet the enemy.

Yu Jiulu Nagui thought at first that it was Yu Jiulu Honghu's return gun, but in an instant, he denied this idea, Yu Jiulu Honghu had already stepped into the Central Plains, and it was impossible to appear here.

But suddenly, everyone found that their hands and feet were weak, and many people vomited on the spot.

Yu Jiulu Nagui was shocked, but after a while, he also found that he had cramps in his abdomen and fell from his horse.

At this time, he knew that someone was attacking him behind him, and he deliberately set up an ambush here to pollute the water source in advance.

But when Yu Jiulu Nagui saw the person who came, he suddenly felt unbelievable.

It was the Turkic tribe who had been shepherding sheep on the roadside a few days ago.

Yu Jiulu Nagui forced his breath and shouted: "Wait, you dare to betray the will of the Immortal Heaven and backstab the co-master of the grassland." ”

Ashina Danxin sneered and said: "Yu Jiulu Nagui, the grassland is under the governance of your Shanhu, and it is not as good as day by day, this position of khan, your Yu Jiulu family should have given up a long time ago." ”

Then Ashinadan waved his hand, and everyone stepped forward to slash and kill, at this time the Shanhu cavalry was all poisoned, and there was no strength to fight again, and they were slaughtered by the Turkic tribes in a short time.

Ashina Danxin cut off the head of Yu Jiulu Nagui, and then passed it on to the surrounding tribes, the surrounding tribes suffered from the Shanhu tribe, and now some people have taken the lead and responded.

When the news reached the Holy Mountain, Yujiulu Nalan was elected Khan, and on the other side, the Turkic leader Ashinadan Xin was also elected Khan, and the steppe was divided into two.

After Zhao Zhao led the troops back to Bingzhou, he learned the news, and he didn't know whether it was joy or worry for a while.

At this time, Wang Qi said: "General Zhao, this is a great benefit. ”

Then Wang Qi explained: "Yu Jiulu Nagui dominates the grassland, and sooner or later there will be a heart of disobedience. Now that the grassland is divided, if you want to unify the grassland, you must rely on the strength of Northern Qin, and whoever Northern Qin helps will have a greater chance of winning, so that Northern Qin has the greatest interests. You can help the Turks first and let them consume the strength of the mountain beard. Later, he established Yujiulu Honghu as the lord of the steppe, and let it consume the power of the Turks, and this was repeated repeatedly, and for many years, the steppe could not disturb the border. ”

After listening to Wang Qi's words, Zhao Zhao bowed deeply and said, "Mr. Dacai, please accept my worship." ”
