The goal has been achieved, Guo Tu is unwilling to stay any longer, he knows in his heart that since Dong Zhuo personally led the troops to come, the ending of the Xianbei people has been decided, with Guo Tu's wisdom, he naturally will not fail to understand this, and now all his thoughts are on how to use the Xianbei people to let himself escape this catastrophe smoothly,

Looking at Guo Tu who was gradually walking away, Murong's eyes flashed sharply, but he also had other uses for Guo Tu, and his previous appearance was just his pretended gesture,

On the grassland, most of the Xianbei people already exist in the form of tribes, whether it is Tuoba or Murong, they are just surname tribes on the grassland, between the two tribes, the number of strong, women and children, and slaves is almost the same, but the slight difference is that the Tuoba tribe is mostly a mixed tribe composed of some scattered tribes, among which Tuoba is respected, while in the Murong tribe, the people are mainly Murong, and only a few small tribes with strong combat power are accepted by Murong,

Tuoba Yan has always had ambitions and intentions to unify Xianbei, and so is Murong, it can be said that the leader of the big tribe on the grassland, there is no one who does not covet this, this time he sent troops and merged with the state, Yuan Shao originally contacted only the Tuoba tribe near Yanmen, Tuoba Yan in order to enhance his reputation, he easily pulled up Murong who was adjacent to him, he felt that he was nine out of ten things, he wanted to strengthen himself and at the same time give Murong some sweetness, and then by the way, the strength of the Murong tribe was well consumed, but he didn't know, The reason why Murong agreed with his proposal was that he had his own plans in his heart, which was why even if his subordinates were sent to death as cannon fodder, Murong was unmoved.

In the past two years, with the more trade between Bingzhou and Xianbei, more and more merchants from all over the world have been attracted, and the Tuoba tribe on the grassland adjacent to Yanmen has benefited more and more, especially in the small amount of grain produced by Bingzhou, which has almost completely been swallowed by the Tuoba tribe, followed by a large increase in the number of nomads who have rushed to join it.

Xianbei does not do farming, lives in pursuit of water and grass, and suddenly encounters a great drought, there is no greenery and no water source on the grassland that should be green grass, and there is no water source, which suddenly makes these Xianbei people who rely on cattle and sheep as their staple food cut off the source of food, so even if Yuan Shao does not instigate, if he can't get the amount of food needed by the Tuoba tribe in trade with Bingzhou, Tuoba Yan will not hesitate to send troops south, because he has no choice, the same is true for Murong, and even the situation of the Murong tribe is even more serious than that of Tuoba's side,

Murong sent troops, and Tuoba Yan was the mainstay, in addition to the two layers of grain that Yuan Shao shared, there were also 100,000 cattle and sheep that Tuoba Yan promised and sent in advance.

Unlike Tuoba Yan, Murong who is extremely familiar with the Han Dynasty knows that looking at the decaying and turbulent Han Dynasty with weak national strength, its internal heritage is far from being comparable to their one or two tribes, even if there is no Ding Yuan and Lu Bu in Bingzhou, the wealth that can be accumulated in Bingzhou now, he will never believe that the huge Bingzhou only has the little strength that Chen Zhi and a few of them show on the surface, although in fact, Bingzhou really only has such a small number of troops.

In Murong's view, for the continuation of the tribe, not to mention just twenty or thirty thousand sons, it is his own children, as long as it is useful, he will not take care of it at all, since Tuoba Yan wants to send troops, in order not to suffer from the enemy, the first thing to deal with is him Murong, but the strength of the two tribes is not much different, Tuoba Yan can only retreat and ask for an invitation, if Murong sends troops together, otherwise Tuoba Yan will never dare to go out easily,

Murong understood this, after getting the 100,000 cattle and sheep promised by Tuobayan, not only did he easily send soldiers, but also gave Tuoba Yan face for the time being, and internally secretly spread that he endured humiliation for the tribe and won the hearts of the people. After consuming more than half of his tribe's sons, Tuoba Yan didn't do anything about it, and quickly stopped it, but he didn't know what he was doing, and he completely fell into Murong's mind.

The entanglement of interests between Tuoba and Murong is why the Xianbei people had already decided to go south, but they were delayed for so long.

"Master, he is from Yuan Shao's side after all, isn't it ...... for us to do this" Guo Tu left, and a figure appeared in front of Murong, and said with a hesitant face, only to see that he was dressed in black, with a gloomy expression, half-white hair, and looked like he was in his forties, this person was the Han strategist Qian Yan, who had been with Murong for many years,

The Qian family was originally a big surname, but there were not many people who were officials, first suffered from the party's difficulties, and then suffered from thieves, and the huge family business was destroyed in an instant, this money dirt was saved by Murong when he was dying, and then he has been following his side to repay his kindness, although he is called a slave, but he has won the trust of Murong, but his talent is limited, and he seems to be frightened by the disaster of the year, cynical at the same time, he is a little narrow-minded, too cautious in doing things, looking forward and backward, hesitating,

"What are you afraid of, Yuan Shaoyuan is in Jizhou, and since Bingzhou is Dong Zhuo's, so many people have not attacked him back then, not to mention Yuan Shao, there is a danger in Bingzhou, what can Yuan Shao do with us, as long as I am given a period of time, the entire Xianbei grassland will be mine, and at that time, not to mention Yuan Shao, even the entire Han Dynasty can take me." With no concern on his face, Murong Man snorted disdainfully,

"It's just ......" hesitated slightly, and Qian Yan's face was still worried,

"Don't worry, although the Tuoba tribe is strong, my Murong is not weak, not to mention this war, Tuoba Yan alone has consumed seventy or eighty thousand people, as long as the rest is exhausted, what will Tuoba Yan use to fight me." With a wave of his hand, Murong's face suddenly showed a sense of confidence, and he said in a tough tone,

At the same time, as soon as he returned to the camp, Guo Tu summoned Zhu Ling, who was sent by Yuan Shao to protect his safety, and said: "Wenbo, you pay more attention these days, let the soldiers count the supplies they have with them, and we are ready to leave at any time." ”

"Yes, Mr. Gongze." Zhu Ling nodded in response, hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Sir, isn't the war unfavorable, why do we have to leave, the lord's side ......?"

"On the lord's side, I will explain that Tuoba Yan was seriously injured, and in a short period of time, the Xianbei people were taken over by Na Murong, although the materials sent by the lord were both shared, this Murong somehow has not looked at the lord in his eyes, and now that Tuoba Yan has fallen, Murong has no control, and our safety must be careful." After a careful glance around, Guo Tu lowered his voice, then groaned slightly, and then explained out loud:

"Xianbei is coming to an end, it is no longer possible to go south and merge with the state, our way back has been cut off, coupled with Murong's inexplicable attitude now, our situation is extremely difficult, from today onwards, you order the soldiers to be vigilant, otherwise you and I will die without a place to be buried."

"This ......" Zhu Ling was startled, and his eyes couldn't help but widen: "Mr. Gongze, how can we protect Mr. Gongze's safety with only the two hundred people we brought." ”

"It won't happen yet." With a wave of his hand, Guo Tu's face didn't show much worry, but it was ugly but indispensable: "Now that the great enemy Dong Zhuo is still there, Murong doesn't dare to do anything with us for the time being, but at the moment when Xianbei collapses, whether he can survive it safely depends on Wenbo." ”

"Sir, rest assured, as long as the last general is still alive, no one will hurt Mr. in the slightest." Patting his chest hard, Zhu Ling assured Guo Tu loudly, and seeing that Guo Tu was smiling and silent, he spoke again and said softly: "Sir, there is anything else to explain, and I will go and arrange it in detail." ”

Guo Tu was very useful to Zhu Ling's courtesy, and Guo Tu was optimistic about Zhu Ling, otherwise he would not have directly ordered Zhu Ling to accompany him when Yuan Shao asked him what he needed, although Zhu Ling was good, but in Yuan Shao's heart, he couldn't resist Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others, and after listening to Guo Tu's invitation, he naturally agreed, and directly threw an order to Zhu Ling, Guo Tu thought wildly in his heart, his face didn't move, nodded at Zhu Ling and whispered a few words, and saw that Zhu Ling's face was first surprised, and then turned into a thick surprise, As soon as Guo Tu finished speaking, he couldn't wait to run to arrange,

"If you want to calculate me, hmph, I'll let you know what the fate of Guo Tu will be." The tent gradually quieted down, only Guo Tu's breathing was calm and long, although it was dangerous, Guo Tu's steadiness had to be admired, and his heart was secretly ruthless, Guo Tu suddenly muttered in a low voice,

Anyway, Murong is also a Xianbei person after all, he has learned a lot about the culture and customs of the Han people, and he is still a Xianbei person in his bones after all, that kind of pretentious posture is too rough in Guo Tu's eyes, just at a glance, Guo Tu guessed that Murong must have a calculation for him, but Murong's mind is too heavy, and he doesn't know what this Murong wants to get from him.

When the night darkened, Tuoba Yan finally woke up from his coma, but his injuries were too serious, and the whole person looked haggard, which made the generals who heard the news feel sad.

"Shan Yu, that Murong is too arrogant, if this continues, our little manpower will soon be tossed by him." After a few hesitations, one of them couldn't help but roar, and the rest listened, and their eyes full of anticipation couldn't help but follow and stare closely at Tuoba Yan.

It turned out that Murong, who received Tuoba Yan's order, ordered the Xianbei troops to gather for the drill after talking to Guo Tu, but at this time, they had just been defeated, and everyone was worried about what the future would be, and the drills were naturally full of mistakes, and the people sent by Murong to watch were immediately angry, and whenever a soldier made a mistake, he ordered people to fish out the errant soldier and beat it, and the more this was the case, the more problems appeared in the military formation, and the people of the Tuoba tribe were not convinced by the person sent by Murong, and the two sides confronted each other, and soon the matter became bigger and bigger, There was a situation that was out of control, so Guo Tu came forward to persuade him later, and persuaded the people on Tuobyan's side to go back, but the military formation couldn't be practiced.
