("The Old Dream of the Wild Wolf" is also a prequel story, telling everything that happened to the wild wolf five years ago, the whereabouts of Tuoba Zhulu, the game between the eight clans, the day of the change of the sky, and other clues mentioned will be elaborated here.) ）

The Wild Wolf Kingdom, located outside the northwest pass of Great Qin, has a total of five national capitals, namely:

The eastern capital is Yizhou City, the western capital is Baisha City, the southern capital is Dianhe City, the northern capital is Wulun Ancient City and the central capital Tianchi City.

This is not so surprising, because the Wild Wolf Country is located in the bitter cold land of the northwest, and it is impossible for any place to have smooth weather and suitable for survival all year round, so whenever the environment of one of the capitals is bad, the wolf king will lead the personal guards and civil and military officials to move to another capital suitable for court meetings and development.

But in fact, there is a deeper purpose in doing this - the military force built around these five capitals can stabilize the rule of the wild wolf over the various tribes to the greatest extent, and the wolf king moves the capital every once in a while, and it is not just to deter and knock some tribes around him who are ready to move.

This is the "Liudu system" of the wild wolf, which was proposed by the second prince of the wild wolf Tuoba Har more than ten years ago, he is the half-brother of the wolf lord Tuoba Zhi, and he is the most ardent person in the "swallowing river" faction of the warlike faction in China.

What is "Swallowing River"? Swallowing the river refers to the annexation of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, which represent the Great Qin of the Central Plains, and to put it bluntly, the annexation of the Central Plains. ……

According to the chronology of the Central Plains, today is the twenty-second year of Chonghuang, the second day of the third month.

Tianchi City, the capital of the palace, the side hall of the palace.

"You, repeat what you just said."

A slightly hoarse voice sounded in the ears of the messenger Ashinaxun.

Ashina Xun could only lower his body, his forehead pressed against the thick carpet, and he didn't dare to make any sound.

The voice burst into applause:

"I told you to read it!"

Ashina Xun had no choice but to speak:

"There is news from Daqin in the Yumen Pass, saying, saying that our heroic and great wolf king and queen still have thirty iron wolf riders, on the twenty-ninth day of the first month of the twenty-second year of Chonghuang of Great Qin, all of them died in the Qin City of Great Qin, each of them had broken bones, the meridians were cut off, and the blood was drained alive, and the death was extremely miserable. Young master, this is the seventh time."

Then the man who was called the young master spoke:

"Get up."

Du Shixun stood up and looked at the person he called the young master-

This is a richly dressed young man, with a brocade hat and a mink fur, and a long knife studded with gems on his waist, looking heroic and unusual; He was very tall, and he looked like he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he was almost as old as an ordinary adult man, but his figure was quite thin, which was slightly inconsistent with his strong temperament.

Looking at his eyebrows, eyes and facial features, I saw that he had a high nose and deep eyes, and his facial features were deep, which was the appearance of a typical wolf warrior. He has short, neat hair; The cheeks are square, the gaze is resolute, and the eyes are domineering.

This is the only son of Tuoba Zhi and Nalan Linglong, the prince of the wild wolf, Tuoba chases the deer.

When the wolf lord Tuoba Zhi used to drink at a domestic banquet, he once said three prides of his life:

"I Tuoba Zhi, there are only three commendable things in this life - the first is twenty-four years old, outstanding in battle, martial arts, and was rated as the first warrior of the wild wolf; The second is Nalan Linglong, the queen who married me sixteen years ago; The third, and most noteworthy one, is that fifteen years ago I gave birth to my good son, Tuoba Chase the Deer!"

can have such a high status in his father's heart, Tuoba is naturally not an idle person:

As soon as he was born, Tuoba Zhi had a big conflict with Nalan Linglong, and that was the only time Tuoba Zhi resolutely rejected the opinions of the "Mujiang" faction - he was stubbornly named "Zhulu" by his father Tuoba Zhi, which means inheriting his father's will and chasing the Central Plains, and was pinned on high hopes.

The young master of the wild wolf did not live up to his father's hopes, and since he was a child, he was brave and brave, even more than his father of the same age, he just learned to walk at the age of three, he learned to ride a horse and shoot arrows at the age of six, and he carried a knife with his father at the age of seven

Lian Wu, at the age of ten, he killed a big black bear alone while hunting, and even the elite warriors who accompanied him at that time were called innate divine powers and unheard of.

After four years, Tuoba Zhulu went to the military camp in Hami, the eastern capital, alone, hiding his age and his identity as a young master, and completely relying on his own strength to pass the recruit assessment of the Wild Wolf Recruitment - the cruel assessment that can discourage most of the Wild Wolf adult men, and what is even more terrifying is that the fourteen-year-old Tuoba Zhulu has become a recruit with a domineering attitude with full scores.

After entering the army, Tuoba Zhulu's first task was to take the initiative to apply to be the vanguard army to suppress the rebellion of the Desolate Wolf Huyan tribe - the officer who recruited this vanguard army once said before the battle:

"What I want to organize this army to do now is to run for a hundred miles, straight into the heart of the Huyan tribe army, and the role played is to desperately drag the army of Huyan tribe leader Huyan Hong until our army arrives, and I might as well make it clear that all the members of our vanguard army are dead soldiers who have been treated as outcasts, and there will be no return. Triple the pension for all! Whoever dares to die will come with me."

Tuoba Zhulu could have been completely free to join, but he was still the first to raise his hand, that battle, it is said that Tuoba Zhulu's steel knives were cut into a piece of scrap iron, and when the army that really suppressed the Huyan tribe arrived, he only saw the corpses all over the ground and Tuoba Zhulu who was chased and slashed by dozens of rebels, and when the army dispersed and eliminated the dozens of rebels, everyone saw the soldier in the dress of a recruit standing proudly on the spot, covered with dark red blood and white brains, He carried a smashed-up steel knife in his right hand, and a head in his left hand.

The head of Huyan Hong, the leader of the Huyan tribe.

This recruit was so amazing that it even alarmed the wolf lord Tuoba Zhi who was sitting in the Chinese army, and when Tuoba Zhi heard the news and came to meet this "recruit" in person, he found out that he was his beloved son Tuoba who had been missing for half a year. And just after the victory in this battle, he returned to the dynasty to count his exploits, and Tuoba Chalu relied on the brave achievements of his vanguard army in the first battle, and he was promoted from a recruit to a thousand-commander.

Later, the wolf king Tuoba Zhi provoked the Qin Famine War with the support of the "Swallowing River" faction, Tuoba Zhulu as the youngest commander in the history of the desolate wolf, and also followed the desolate wolf 300,000 warriors to the Yumen Pass, although the desolate wolf failed to cross the thunder pool in the past two years, but it was not all defeated, but also won a few, without exception all field battles.

The first is the Great Qin Army's Shangshu Jiang Ping personally out of the pass to chase and kill Tuoba Zhi, Jiang Ping led a thousand light cavalry to chase and kill Tuoba Zhi who broke through the pass and failed to retreat, but was forced to be dragged by the strong sixty iron wolf cavalry for half a day, and finally dragged to Tuoba Har, who was sitting in the Chinese army, led the army to come to the rescue, but surrounded Jiang Ping, Jiang Ping's 1,000 light cavalry was almost lost, and then broke through and returned to the pass. From then on, Jiang Ping ordered that at any time, the defenders of Yumen Pass would not go out of the pass to pursue the enemy.

But there are still many young generals who want to make war achievements, do not listen to warnings, and lead troops to chase the wolf army without authorization, but every time they end up with a whole army annihilated, the most famous one, and the last time, at that time, a wave of siege by the wild wolf failed to achieve results, and was waiting to retreat, but just began to retreat, the former commander of Yumen Pass, Wang Gaojun, led five thousand heavy cavalry, out of the pass to shake the wolf army!

In that battle, the wild wolf was caught off guard at the beginning, and lost a lot of men and horses, but it was Tuoba who was in the flank at that time who took the lead, and led his 1,000 men and horses to plunge into the heavy cavalry of Wang Gaojun on the opposite side, and stopped the advance of Wang Gaojun's cavalry, which allowed the other troops of the wild wolf who reacted later to destroy the other party.

At that time, in the midst of the chaotic army, it was Tuoba who cut off Wang Gaojun's head with a sudden attack on the deer and horse, and the five thousand heavy cavalry of Daqin completely lost the military spirit and was extinguished in an instant.

Since the death of the previous commander Wang Gaojun, the commander of Yumen Pass was replaced by the current Mengshu Bian, and the Chonghuang Emperor Qin Zheng'an was a holy decree passed to Yumen Pass, and the holy decree said that if it was before the armistice, who dared to go out of the pass to fight, not only died without a pension, but even the family members had to be punished, and Yumen Pass had been strong and clear, until finally the wolf army could not support and retreated.

It is not difficult to see from many aspects that Tuoba is a fierce general who is born heroic and courageous.

But he is by no means just a simple martial artist.

Tuoba chases the deer in

On the battlefield, he listened to his father, Professor Tuoba Zhi, who was not afraid of death and moved forward bravely. But in private, he prefers to listen to the generosity, compassion and empathy from the Central Plains taught by his mother Nalan Linglong.

After the battle that killed Wang Gaojun, his father asked him what reward he wanted, but instead of a position or gold or silver, he begged his father to reduce the taxes of the war-torn tribes in the eastern part of the desolate wolf near the Yumen Pass, and won countless support for a time.

In peacetime in the court, Tuoba Zhulu is always constantly balancing the relationship between the "Swallowing River" faction represented by his uncle and father and the "Mujiang" faction represented by his mother.

Just like a few days ago, the wolf king Tuoba Zhi and Nalan Linglong went to Daqin to negotiate peace, and the task of supervising the country was handed over to the second prince Tuoba Har, but a considerable number of people in the country asked to let Tuoba chase the deer and supervise the country when he was still a teenager, if it wasn't for Tuoba Zhulu himself who refused later, the sixteen-year-old boy who is now in charge of the country may be the sixteen-year-old boy. This is enough to show the status of Tuoba in the government and the opposition and in the hearts of the people of the wild wolf.

It can be said that Tuoba Zhulu, who is only sixteen years old, is the only legitimate and popular heir to the wolf king in the Wild Wolf Country.

And at this moment, Tuoba Zhulu, who had been fighting to the death in many battles, had a expressionless expression, but his expression changed greatly, he helped up Ashina Xun, who came to report the news, and then shouted in a deep voice full of grief and indignation:

"Father, queen mother, you two died tragically in the capital, the child will definitely find out the real culprit and avenge the two of you!"

Then Tuoba Zhulu asked Ashina Xun:

"Did you tell your uncle about this?"

The "uncle" in his mouth refers to Tuobhar, who is now acting as the superintendent. So Ashina Xun bowed down and replied:

"Young Master, yes, I will first pass the news to the second prince of the prison country before I come to report to you."

Tuoba Zhulu nodded and said:

"Come with me to the Lord's temple to see my uncle." ……

The two of them walked out quickly, walked through the long corridor, and gradually walked to the main hall, and when there was still a short distance between the main hall, a mournful voice came from afar:

"Brother Wang, sister-in-law...... The sky, the sky has no eyes! Qin Zheng'an, the thief of Great Qin, actually poisoned you after you arrived in the capital, causing you to lose your souls in a different place! I will surely avenge the two of you, and let them bear our untold wrath!"

When Tuoba Zhulu heard Tuoba Har's sorrowful cry, he hurriedly threw off Ashina Xun and walked quickly to the main hall.

Entering the main hall, I saw a middle-aged man carrying a long scimitar under the main hall and slashing around, and the objects in sight, vases, tables and chairs were all smashed by this person with a knife, obviously this person was extremely angry!

Tuoba Har, who was of medium stature and dressed in military uniform, saw Tuoba Zhulu enter the main hall, his expression softened slightly, no longer so indignant, but replaced by a face full of sadness, he had tears in his eyes, patted Tuoba Zhulu's shoulder with his hand, and said slowly:

"Chase the deer, your father and your mother, both ...... They all died at the hands of Emperor Daqin."

Tuoba Zhulu reached out and squeezed Tuoba Har's hand, gritted his teeth and asked:

"Uncle, are you really sure, is it Qin Zheng'an's hand?"

The corners of Tuobhar's mouth trembled, and he said with tears streaming down his face:

"Who else but that Qin thief? Brother Wang is the first warrior of my wild wolf, invincible in the world in martial arts, not to mention that he also brought thirty iron wolf riders on this trip. In the capital, apart from the Qin thieves in the Taiqin Palace, who has the ability to kill them and their group?"

Tuoba held back tears and said:

"What a ruthless Central Plains man, what a treacherous Great Qin Emperor Qin Zheng'an!"

"But why did the Qin thief do this? The notice of peace had only arrived in Zhongdu three days earlier, and the letter from his father had just arrived, saying that he would return to the wolf after the Spring Festival with his mother. How could it be that only three days later, just, just ......", Tuoba was puzzled.

Tuobhar heard this, "Huh!" With a thud, he inserted the scimitar into his own special knife

Within the sheath - It is well known that the second prince of the desolate wolf, Tuobhar, is warlike by nature, and at all times, he wears exquisite armor and carries a knife behind his back, and will not untie it at any time except when he is bathing.

I saw that after Tuoba Har put away the knife, he stroked his chest with his right fist, and suddenly knelt on one knee and said to Tuoba Zhulu:

"Chase the deer, I have something to ask for."

Tuoba Zhulu saw his uncle's sudden gift, and hurriedly reached out to help his uncle up - although because his uncle often disagreed with his mother and quarreled in the court, Tuoba Zhulu did not have a good impression of this cruel and warlike uncle, but after all, he was his elder, and he still felt a little unbearable to kneel on one knee before he became the wolf king.

Tuoba Zhulu stretched out his hand to support his uncle who was kneeling on the ground, and said:

"Uncle, why are you doing this, hurry up and talk about it."

Tuoba Har broke free from Tuoba Chase's support, but still insisted on kneeling in place, and he stubbornly spoke: .

"Zhulu, although I am the prison country, but after the king brother leaves, you are the only wolf king of my desolate wolf, so now I am begging for the future desolate wolf king, you can afford this gift, don't shirk, you let your uncle finish speaking."

Tuoba had no choice but to give up, withdrew his hand and nodded:

"Uncle, you can say it."

Tuobhar bowed his head and said:

"Report to the new king of the wild wolf, I, Tuoba Har, am willing to take the initiative to ask for help, take 5,000 of my subordinate soldiers to kill the Qin thief, go to Daqin Ge to kill the Qin thief, avenge the king's brother and sister-in-law, wash away the shame for my wild wolf, and hope that the new wolf king will allow it."

Although Tuoba Har is the head of the four great generals of the desolate wolf, the eastern capital of Hami City on weekdays, there are ten commanders under him, that is, he can control 100,000 troops, although the two years of the Qin Famine War have lost a lot, but now there are at least 70,000 or 80,000, but that is the army of the desolate wolf country, he has no right to privately mobilize what he can mobilize, only his own personal pro-army of 5,000 people. When he said this, he showed Tuoba that he had put life and death aside, and only led his own army to the battle, and even if he failed, he would not lose the national strength of the desolate wolf in the slightest.

Tuoba Zhulu suddenly heard this, and was a little at a loss for a while, after all, he could personally lead the charge on the battlefield, and he could dispatch troops to command reasonably. But he didn't understand the things of the temple at all, although he also wanted to do what his uncle said, but a voice in his heart clearly told him that doing this was no different from sending him to death, so Tuoba had to say:

"Uncle, this ...... This ......."

Tuoba Har saw that Tuoba was not sure to pay attention to it, and said again:

"You can't make up your mind about this matter, you can talk about it another day, and now Tuobhar has another thing to ask for, I hope you can agree."

Seeing that his uncle did not insist on leading troops to break through the pass, or insisting on sending him to death, Tuoba Zhulu relieved himself a little, so he asked:

"What's the other thing?"

Tuobhar said in a deep voice:

"I hope you can gather the great leaders of the tribes and the civil and military officials as soon as possible to announce the death of the imperial brother, and in order to prevent anyone from plotting against them, please succeed the new wolf king immediately." ……

(Tuoba Zhulu officially appears, and the story shifts to the country of wild wolves, how will the wild wolf people face the reality that their wolf king will die in a foreign land?) Will they be able to investigate the truth about the violent death of Tuoba Zhi and his party? Will Tuoba be able to successfully inherit the throne and become the new wolf king?
