Tuoba Jie took the men and horses to march for half a month, came to the foot of a densely forested mountain range, the stepped topography of this mountain range is remarkable, the west is gentle, the east is steep, there are low hills and mountain basins in the mountains, there is a river next to the mountain that flows slowly, during which the river valleys are staggered, the water and grass are abundant, the mountains are covered with vast forests, the extreme eye overlooks, the sky is high and the clouds are light, reflecting the beautiful scenery of nature.

Tuoba Jie ordered the men and horses to stop here, and then set up camp, not the setting of the military camp, all according to the way the tribe lived in a group to add tents, all the people and horses were settled, Tuoba Jie and Lang Qi went out of the tribe, looking for the local aborigines, walked for a while, and really found a few families.

After inquiry, I learned that this mountain range is called Xianbei Mountain, and the river next to it is called Erguna River. After thanking the aborigines, they returned to their camp, and began to live freely as cattle husbandry.

The next day, when the doctor brought with the army was frowning, he found Lang Qige and sighed: "Captain Lang, it has been more than half a month since we left the Murong clan, but the young lady has not woken up yet. Lang Qige comforted: "I'll go and call the eldest brother." ”

He found Tuoba Jie, and several people came to the big tent where Murong Lan was placed, and came to the bed closely, only to see Murong Lan's face was unharmed, but he couldn't wake up, and Tuoba Jie was worried about the doctor: "Sister Lan was just taken in the sleeping pill, why hasn't she woken up yet?" The doctor said: "Back to the general, Miss is afraid that she has used the sleeping pill for too long and has been poisoned." ”

Tuoba Jie asked in surprise: "How to solve this poison?" The doctor shook his head and said: "Lord Murong has refined the sleeping pill himself, even he doesn't know how to get rid of this poison, and the small one is even more helpless. Lang Qige comforted in a low voice: "Big brother, don't worry, maybe there are other ways." Tuoba Jie looked straight at the sleeping Murong Lan with straight eyes, and said slowly to the two of them: "You all go down!"

Then, he moved his body, sat on the edge of the bed, took Murong Lan's hand, put it on his face, closed his eyes slightly, and said gently: "Sister Lan, I don't want anything, as long as you wake up, even if you give me Tuoba Jie, no matter how powerful the clan is, it is not as good as you are by my side." As he spoke, his eyes moistened, and two lines of hot tears flowed, but Murong Lan still hadn't woken up.

In this way, day after day, month after month, Tuoba Jie would come to Murong Lan's big tent every day, speak slowly to her, and call gently. Murong Lan still fell asleep quietly and lonely、、、、、、

Half a year has passed, Murong Lan has never woken up, and Tuoba Jie has become silent, as if he has changed a person. Lang Qige came to visit every day, and when he saw Tuoba Jie, he seemed to be much older, and he was worried about his eldest brother's body, but there was nothing he could do.

On this day, Lang Qige had just bent his bow and was about to take a few soldiers out hunting, when suddenly, a soldier staggered in, covered in blood, Lang Qige hurriedly approached him and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

The soldier's voice was not loud, and he said slowly: "Lang、、、、、、 Captain Lang, there are 、、、、、、 tribes, sneak attack on the outer 、、、、、、 and surround 、、、、、、" Without saying anything, this soldier fainted. Lang Qige hurriedly ordered someone to call Lang Zhong, and then, quickly out of the tent and rode on the war horse, straight to the outer tent, he just arrived here, he saw some people dressed differently, began to rob their camp tents, grain, grass and horses, everything that can be robbed, none of them were spared, some soldiers and soldiers fought with them, he quickly ordered someone to inform Tuoba Jie, he raised his spear to meet these people.

He asked as he fought: "Who are you who dare to rob our battalion of food?" These people did not answer his question, either beating or robbing, no matter how Lang Qige asked, he did not answer. After a while, Tuoba Jie arrived, and when he saw this, he ordered his own people not to fight any more, and then he had people carry a lot of food and give it to those people, so that they stopped robbing.

One of the leaders of these people came over and thanked Tuoba Jie for kowtowing to him, and then, wanting to take these people away, Tuoba Jie politely stopped the leader and asked, "Where are you coming from? Where are you going?" ”

Seeing that these people were pitiful, Tuoba Jie also wanted to slowly expand his camp and integrate into the local aborigines, so he immediately said to the leader: "If you want, you can stay with me." The leader was surprised and happy, but still asked in disbelief, "Is this true?" ”

The leader said something to the people he brought, and those people immediately threw away the weapons in their hands, and they all fell down and kowtowed, Tuoba Jie hurriedly came over to help everyone up, and then, ordered someone to prepare tent food for them, and these Donghu aborigines joined Tuoba Jie's camp one after another.

Donghu was a powerful northern ethnic group during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and was named after the east of the Xiongnu (Hu). There are also many theories about Donghu.

In the last years of the Qin Dynasty, Donghu gradually became stronger, and its leader once asked the Xiongnu for famous horses, clans and land, but was defeated by the Xiongnu Mao Dunshan Yu. One retreated to Wuhuan Mountain, and the other retreated to Xianbei Mountain. Now, although they still call themselves the Donghu tribe, in fact, they are just a people at the foot of Xianbei Mountain, and they can't be called a tribe in terms of people and status.

With the participation of the local aborigines, the whole camp also has vitality, and those Donghu aborigines and the soldiers brought by Tuoba Jie learn production and life, resist foreign aggression, and integrate into Tuoba Jie's camp little by little.

However, the people brought by Tuoba Jie are all people from the Xianbei Murong tribe, they have wives and children, parents, brothers and sisters, and they are all in the Murong tribe, for most of the past six months, I don't see Tuoba Jie take everyone to fight the beggar tribe, and the soldiers below began to talk about it, they are worried that if they don't go to the beggar tribe, Murong Detao will kill their wives, children and parents, but Tuoba Jie just let everyone rest and recuperate, although Tuoba Jie is very good to them, but in the long run, the hearts of the soldiers and soldiers began to waver.

Among them, there is a protector of the three armies, named Udil, he is very dissatisfied with Tuoba Jie, this person, who grew up in the Murong tribe, is not tall, a little thin, but strong in martial arts, brave and strategic, has always been trusted by Murong Detao, and in the three armies, he is also quite trusted by the soldiers.

Recently, he carefully observed and found that there was a small side tent next to Tuoba Jie's big tent, and there were soldiers who had been on duty in turn, and he found that Tuoba Jie entered this side tent every day, and when he entered, Tuoba Jie's spirit was better, and when he came out, Tuoba Jie's brows were deep and his spirit was not good.

He wondered in his heart: "What is the secret of this partial tent, why is the general very sad when he comes out every time he goes in?" But this partial tent is guarded and not easy to approach, he wants to know the reason, and he must find a way.
