Chapter Twenty-Six: The Frost Fills the Road, the Beacon Fire and Smoke Win the King (8)

Lang Qige followed him for a while, and then he lost this person, and he didn't find it after looking for most of the night, so he had to go back to the tribe to find Tuoba Jie. When he came to Tuoba Jie's tent, he was stunned, Helan Mukun had already led some people to surround Tuoba Jie, Lang Qige jumped over everyone, came to Tuoba Jie's side, and said, "Big brother, little brother is late." ”

When Tuoba Jie saw Lang Qige, he was happy in his heart, and immediately said: "Brother Yi, you came at the right time." At this time, I heard Helan Mukun shouting: "Tuoba boy, you quickly give way to ensure that you don't die." The surrounding Donghu people all followed Ying He and said: "Give way, give way, and keep you from dying." ”

Tuoba Jie held the sword in his hand and said: "Let me not give way, I want to ask if this sword will agree." Helan Mukun sneered: "Tuoba boy, don't you look at it, who are you, a foreigner, and you still want to be the big leader of Donghu, do you ask the Donghu people if they agree?"

Those who surrounded Tuoba Jie said, "The Donghu people don't agree." Helan Mukun waved his hand and said: "You heard it, the Donghu people don't agree, you still don't give way?" Tuoba Jie said: "I was entrusted by the great leader of Donghu Buliu Khan Sutu, so I became the great leader of Donghu, and your old patriarch Helanqiu, who was also your father, was also on the spot, you can ask him." ”

Helan Mukun said: "My father saw that Buliu Khan Sutu was no longer good, and he didn't want him to die, you are really embarrassed, you are here to be the big leader." Tuoba Jie said: "You can call your father to ask for clarification, if he disagrees at the beginning, you can tell the big leader that Tuoba Jie is not a person who covets the position of the big leader." ”

Helan Mukun said: "Since you don't covet this position of leader, then give way now, otherwise you 、、、、、、" He raised the spear in his hand, full of murderous aura. Tuoba Jie said: "Since this is the case, there is nothing to talk about, only let the weapon speak." ”

Saying that, as soon as Helan Mukun turned around, the spear flew out, fast as lightning, coming like the wind, Tuoba Jie made one move after another, standing with Helan Mukun, and the Donghu people around him also besieged him, Tuoba Jie fought Helan Mukun on the one hand, and hid the spears behind his back and on both sides.

Lang Qige also fought with a few Donghu people, after a while, Tuoba Jie and Lang Qige were already sweating profusely, he fought more than a dozen people, how could he be alone, if he wanted to defeat Helan Mukun, it was indeed a little difficult, Tuoba Jie peeked and saw that Lang Qige was losing and retreating, he suddenly thought of his incense: "Why not use it." ”

Then holding his breath, he shook his hand and threw out the incense, and suddenly Helan Mukun and those Donghu people had no strength, and instantly fainted to the ground, Tuoba Jie jumped out of the circle, returned the sword, came over and pulled up Lang Qige, and gave him an antidote,

After that, he ordered people to tie up Helan Mukun and these people. When these people came to their senses, Tuoba Jie ordered someone to call the old patriarch Helanqiu.

The effort was not big, Helanqiu hurried over, and as soon as he saw his son Helan Mukun in the tent, he was ashamed of Tuoba Jie and said: "Big leader, it is Helanqiu's lax discipline that has this rebellious son!"

Tuoba Jie approached and said, "Old Patriarch, something has happened, Tuoba Jie really doesn't know how to deal with these people, please ask the old Patriarch to have an idea." Helanqiu was embarrassed all of a sudden: "This 、、、、、、" According to the clan rules of the Donghu tribe, the rebels will be killed, Helan Mukun is his son, which makes Helanqiu unable to take an idea, thinking for a while, he said: "Big leader, Helanqiu is willing to die for my son Helan Mukun." ”

As he spoke, he fell on his knees, his hands turned upside down, and waited to be bound and sent to death. Tuoba Jie hurriedly came over to support Helan Qiu, sighed, and said: "Old patriarch, do your best for the people of Donghu, Mu Kun's matter, another matter, get up quickly!" Helan Qiu burst into tears, turned around, and scolded his son Helan Mukun,

Tuoba Jie said: "Today's matter, for the sake of the old patriarch, spare you from death." The Donghu people, including Helan Mukun, knelt down and kowtowed, and Tuoba Jie continued: "Get up quickly, although the death penalty is forgiven, but the living crime is inevitable, I will let you go and send some gold mink skins and livestock food to the surrounding tribes, so that they will not come to fight with us again." ”

These people knew that the surrounding tribes wanted to kill the new leader Tuoba Jie, and this new leader actually gave generous gifts to the surrounding tribes, everyone saw that Tuoba Jie was so cowardly and afraid of some small tribes, they were very angry, and one of the generals of Donghu roared angrily: "Tuoba boy, you are willing to be a slave, you go by yourself, I don't go, let me go is to kill the leaders of those tribes and annex them、、、、、、"

The others followed suit. Tuoba Jie ordered to take down this Donghu general, dragged him to the tent, beat him severely, and saw that the general fainted, Tuoba Jie shouted: "Lock him up and behead him in five days." Those Donghu people didn't dare to say anything anymore, especially Helan Mukun could only follow the arrangement.

On that day, Tuoba Jie asked Lang Qige to prepare a few carriages, which were loaded with generous gifts like gold mink skins, as well as war horses and fat sheep, and sent some soldiers to escort them to the surrounding tribes along with Helan Mukun. After these people left, Tuoba Jie summoned the generals of Donghu and said, "Everyone should reorganize their men and horses now and set off together to attack the surrounding tribes." ”

Everyone just woke up from a dream, and when they heard that they were going to fight the surrounding tribes, they all cheered and fell to the ground to worship, Tuoba Jie said: "There are four surrounding tribes, they have been united, we can't take care of our hands and feet, we can only outwit and not fight hard, I give generous gifts, pretend to be cowardly to them, so that they will not be on guard, we attack, only then can we be sure of victory." ”

These words made General Donghu admire Tuoba Jie even more. At this time, Tuoba Jie ordered someone to release the beaten Donghu general and rewarded him again. At that moment, the soldiers divided into four routes and immediately set off to attack the united tribes.

The leaders of these tribes themselves wanted to kill Tuoba Jie, train men and horses all day long, and were ready to go at any time, but when Helan Mukun and his party came with heavy gifts, they heard Helan Mukun say that Tuoba Jie was unwilling to fight and was willing to give generous gifts.

On this day and night, who knew that the four groups of men and horses arranged by Tuoba Jie rushed in, like a heavenly soldier descending, brave and fast. Although these tribes have long been united, their hearts are not aligned and their fighting spirit is not strong, and they were killed by Tuoba Jie's men and horses, and they immediately dispersed.

The chieftains also fled westward, where they were later killed by the Huns. Some of the remaining tribes surrendered to Tuoba Jie, and this attack annexed all the tribes around Donghu and strengthened the entire Donghu tribe.

A few days later, Tuoba Jie was at the foot of Xianbei Mountain, banqueting the Donghu tribesmen, at this time, his reputation shocked the entire Donghu tribe, and all the Donghu tribesmen were all convinced and admired.

During the banquet, Tuoba Jie was elected by everyone as Donghu Khan, which is the honorific title of the leader of the general tribe in the tribe, which originally meant "god" and "heaven". The khan rewarded all the tribes of Donghu, and at the same time, exempted the tribe from killing the clan and exempted the tribe from slavery.

After that, the Khan called himself Donghu Xianbei, because he has been at the foot of Xianbei Mountain for a long time, Xianbei has the meaning of auspiciousness, and it is the people's desire to call Xianbei, because the Khan's surname is Tuoba, and people gradually call it Tuoba Xianbei.

Under the leadership of Tuoba Jie, Tuoba Xianbei continued to grow stronger, and gradually became the northeasternmost rising northern dabbling tribe, and gradually developed and expanded.

Tuoba Jie, who became a khan, not only led the Xianbei people to develop new ranches, but also gradually led the Xianbei people to develop in the southwest direction, and since then, he has consolidated his position in the Xianbei Khan.
