Chapter 23: Civil Strife (12th Update)
And the baby pro that Tuoba De set back then was Qiu Mu Linglan, the youngest daughter of the Tuoba Erli clan chief. But unfortunately, when Qiu Mu Linglan grew up, he fell in love with the warrior Chibili of Tuoba Wuli, and it seemed that he did not plan to fulfill the marriage contract. When Tuoba De left the tribe and went out, it may not have been because of this matter.
Just two years ago, Xianbei Tuoba's previous territory was coveted by outsiders, and with the support of Xirong, the Tubo people brazenly launched a powerful attack on this side, and the other party was supported by the power of a country.
As a result, the direction of attack chosen by the Tubo people happened to be the territory of Tuoba Sanli, but because of Linde's departure, Sanli was also the weakest of the five, and finally under the help of the remaining four departments, gritted his teeth and repelled the attack of the Tubo people, but the casualties were extremely heavy.
After this battle, the people of the Sanli Department also saw clearly the true face of the other four departments that did not work hard, and decisively announced that they would move east.
The remaining four tribes were secretly happy, and estimated that the combined strength was enough to deal with the attack of the Tubo people, so they did not stop the Sanli Division, and while lobbying to absorb the hesitant clansmen of the Sanli Division, they had already carved up the grassland left behind after the departure of the Tuoba Sanli Division.
However, the Tubo tribe that made a comeback the next year received the assistance of Xirong's national force, and the number of people was three times that of the last attack! !
Therefore, the remaining Tuoba Fourth Division was suddenly dumbfounded, but in the face of such a militaristic situation, what was the use of being dumbfounded? If the Tuoba Fifth Division unites and even takes out the old, weak, women, and children on top, it can only deal with 15,000 Tibetan horsemen. More than 30,000 horsemen attacked with a strong force, which was to save the meaning of killing chickens for the monkeys and crushing the demonstration.
The outcome of this battle was undoubted, and the remaining four tribes of Xianbei Tuoba were severely damaged. Only a few escaped.
Therefore, although the Tuoba Sanli Division, which was the first to retreat, suffered heavy losses first, and was dug up when it announced its eastward move, and only more than 3,000 people were evacuated, but after getting the most out, it became the most powerful tribe among the five tribes.
When Lin Fengjin heard this, he suddenly said:
"Who is the person who can see that Tibet will inevitably make a comeback in the coming year?"
Nare's face was a little confused and said:
"I don't know what to do. ”
Lin Fengjin narrowed his eyes slightly:
"This person is a talent, not only can he see the crisis in the coming year, but he can also say that the high-level people of the Sanli Department have moved eastward, which shows that this person's status among your clan must not be low-do you have any impressions?"
Lin Fengjin's inquiry. But it was addressed to Tuobad.
Tuobad frowned and said:
"In my memory, if it is said that it is a warrior who rushes to the front and shoots the enemy, there are still a few warriors, but it is really impossible to find a wise man like what you said, young master. ”
Speaking of this, Tuoba suddenly said suspiciously to Ao Dun:
"Since my Sanli Department is ready to withdraw, why did it take a winter to wither to the point where I even have to exchange people for tea bricks?"
The two girls looked at each other. But he wanted to speak and stopped.
Lin Fengjin smiled and said:
"I don't think you will tell them about this when you ask them, but you think you won't say it. Don't I know what to do?"
Then Lin Feng waved his hand and signaled left and right:
"Show them both of them!"
The second daughter immediately lost her face, and Lin Fengjin said two words lightly:
"Civil strife. ”
Lin De's eyes moved when he heard this, and he also inherited Zheng Gong's memory fragments. Immediately realized that something was wrong. Lin Fengjin said lightly:
"Sanlibu is prepared to go, and if you plan ahead for a rainy day, you must have found a place to take root. At this time, the remaining four tribes were defeated by the Tubo people with the momentum of the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, and these people who escaped were undoubtedly the patriarchs of the previous four tribes, warriors, and so on. ”
"It is impossible for these people to take refuge in those Qiang and Mongolian people, because they are already water dogs at this time, and they are free people who have taken refuge in the past, and it is impossible for them to recognize their aristocratic status. So the only place I can go to is Sanlibu, which has been evacuated in advance. ”
"After the Sanli Department accepted these people, they got mixed together, and they were used to holding power for a long time, and they would inevitably be unwilling. However, there is a very fatal problem in the Sanli Division, that is, there is no leader who is justified and has enough prestige to suppress - your father is considered one, but unfortunately he has passed away. You, Linde, are one of them, but unfortunately not in the tribe. In this way, civil strife is naturally a matter of course. ”
When Lin Fengjin said this, the two women were already looking at him with unbelievable eyes, just like looking at ghosts and gods, Lin Fengjin continued:
"The tribe that Lao Ligen went to must be those tribes who are still loyal to your family after the civil strife. Most of their possessions, cattle and sheep should have been plundered by the rebels. Perseverance under such difficult conditions is a rare loyalty. ”
"As for the side that rebelled for the upper hand but didn't kill the Sanli tribe, it should be that the person who maintains the existence of the Sanli tribe is about to die, once he dies, your people will have no allegiance, and now Xianbei Tuoba has suffered a heavy blow, and the group of people who rebelled must also know the scarcity and preciousness of their own people, so they refuse to kill them, and have the intention of co-opting. ”
Linde nodded, and suddenly hesitated:
"And the two of them?"
Lin Fengjin smiled and said:
"First, they are not from your own people, and second, although your people are in a very difficult situation at this time, this dilemma is like a tempering, and all the scum has been removed, and the rest are loyal brothers and sisters who grit their teeth and hug each other. Under such circumstances, how could they be taken out and sold as shepherd slaves if there was not something wrong with them?"
"However, what they did shouldn't be a big bad thing, I guess it's just to observe the movements in your clan, and then report the leak, so I didn't ask someone to kidnap them, now you two can tell me, who is advocating the eastward migration in the Sanli Tribe, right?
At this time, Nare and Ao Dun were completely frightened by Lin Fengjin, so naturally they didn't dare to hide it, and said it honestly, it turned out that the person with great vision turned out to be Lin De's relative!
It was the husband of his sister Tuoba Zhen, this person was called "Leave" (meaning wandering), originally a shepherd slave who wandered from nowhere, and died of a high fever in the heavy rain, but was rescued by Tuoba Zhen.
This person is very average in martial arts, but he is very good at internal affairs. After Lin De left the clan that year, the vacated position he vacated was occupied by Tuoba Zhen instead of his brother, and the affairs of the clan were handled by several old people who were old and virtuous, so Tuoba Zhen adopted several of his suggestions and implemented them in the clan, and the effect was surprisingly good.
When the Tubo people attacked blatantly, the old people in the clan were also sick, and the dead gradually withered, Tuoba Zhen had no choice but to grasp the power of the clan, and decided to move east under the persuasion of the separation. The next thing was almost exactly the same as Lin Fengjin had inferred.
And when the civil strife broke out, the nobles of the other four tribes also knew that the man was extremely resourceful, so they seized his weakness of not being good at fighting and put him under house arrest first!
Nare and Ao Dun are not spies, but Qiu Mu Linglan Zhilu Dao Sanli is now living in embarrassment and is very difficult, so they were specially sent to take care of Tuoba Zhen, and they have not done anything out of the ordinary, but there are always people who are suspicious, if it weren't for the fact that Tuoba Sanli is indeed running out of oil and the lamp is dry, they will definitely not make this decision and sell the two of them.
Hearing these things, Lin De was even more eager to grow wings and fly back to Tuoba Sanlibu at this time! Lin Fengjin also jumped on the horse very simply, and then took Nare and said:
"The two of us are fast, we can rush over first. Don't worry about your sister's condition, since it has been delayed for so long, it is impossible that she will not survive for a while, and more importantly, although I don't know any medical skills, but in the talisman that Daoist Fu fished from Meng Daoren, there is a pure heart charm that pulls out poison, and the herb furnace can extract the essence for her to take, so there should be no problem. ”
After Lin Fengjin calmed Lin De, he turned his head to Bai Yan and said:
"I have to trouble you to bring someone to come later, and I will leave Odun to show you the way. ”
Of course, Ba Yan didn't have anything to say, nodded and said:
"Lin Ye rest assured, we will follow later. ”
After about three or four hours of fierce galloping, the three of them finally came to the place where they stopped in Sanlibu.
The land here is very barren, and there is a lot of desertification on the grassland, which looks like there are many black and yellow scabies growing on the ground from a distance, which is very ugly.
At this time, the mount under Lin Fengjin's crotch hissed, his front hooves fell to the ground, and then he collapsed, blood quickly appeared between his mouth and nose, and his whole body kept twitching.
Most of the people present have been dealing with horses for decades, and it can be seen at a glance that this mount is obviously overworked, and died violently on the spot. (To be continued......)
