In the temporary royal court built by Qifu Hegan, people from various tribes arrived one after another.
In the Xianbei series, there are the Xianbei tribe, the Xianbei Suotou tribe, the Yuwen tribe and the Duan tribe in the east of Xianbei, and the Mohu tribe who later changed his surname to Murong.
In the Wuhuan series, there are Kou Loudun, Hu Liuye, Lu Xi, etc.
In Mobei Zahu there are Yinalou, Futou, Suonu, Qubeiwang, Shaobei, etc.
There were dozens, hundreds, or thousands of people from these tribes, gathering in this area, creating an unusual sense of excitement.
These tribes may not all sincerely welcome Qifu Heqian, but just like many noble families in the Three Kingdoms betting in many ways, since they are on the gambling table, it is still an opportunity to play the bottom and get a card...
As for getting the card, whether to follow the bet or fold, it all depends on paying an ante first and sitting on the card table.
Densely packed tents were set up one on the left and one on the right, as if pimples suddenly broke out on the face in the desert, distributed high and low in this area.
New and old friends gathered together, eating horse meat, drinking horse milk, chatting from all over the world, and laughing heartlessly, as if they didn't care if the sky fell...
Do you really not care?
Fake.
Among the tribesmen who gathered, the vast majority had no intention of returning alive.
At least you can't go back empty-handed.
Because many tribes in Mobei are actually facing increasingly cold natural threats. Just like in the Han Dynasty, many farmers and women choose not to have children, or face rising taxes and budgets.
Just like abandoning a child after birth, there is also a plan to reduce the "excess" population through war in the desert.
The tribes in these deserts may not be able to consciously control and reduce the old, weak, sick and disabled through biological and biochemical means like the later generations of Emperor Mi, in order to maintain a high unemployment rate and reduce labor wages to boost the economy.
But these tribes also have primitive instincts that make them know to reduce their population...
Of course, if these people who go out to fight can bring back some trophies, it will be an unexpected surprise. If not, then where they died in battle will become their burial ground, so these people are not afraid of death, and are even a little happy.
To meet death. In the hearts of these barbarians, they are fighting for their tribe and their family, and their death is for the survival of their tribe and family.
This belief, passed down from generation to generation, among tribes with relatively low knowledge and almost zero education, can easily form a closed space similar to later MLM brainwashing and cult preaching, and continue to instill specious ideas into the tribe.
inside everyone's head.
Qifu Heqian received the latest news.
The Rilu family members and some members of the Bald Hair tribe reported back that after their initial contact with the Han people, they had withdrawn towards the Black Stone Forest, but the Han people seemed to be very hesitant about pursuing the pursuit and still stayed in place without any follow-up actions.
On the other side, the people from Gujin reported that they were in further contact with Youbei Cao's army. Youbei Cao's army was also moving very slowly, stopping every day. If this continues, it may be difficult for the Han people on both sides to encounter each other as planned, and
Gu Jin couldn't say that he was too anxious and urged, so he asked Qi Fu Heqian to come up with an idea...
The Mohu tribe and the Yuwen tribe sent people back to report that they had arrived at Ningwotai in Dayan Mountain in advance in accordance with Qifu Heqian's order, and were ready to outflank the Han people's retreat in the west.
In addition, the Chile tribe sent to monitor the Jiankun and Rouran tribes found that some people from Jiankun and Rouran were crossing the Yinma River and moving towards the Han people in the west, possibly to fight with the Han people in the west.
.But there was still no movement from the large Han army in the west. The leader of the Chile people, Chile Juxu, sent someone to ask, what should be done now?
Qifu Heqian couldn't figure out the performance of the Han people in the west for a while. After repeated discussions with Su Li, he still couldn't understand why the Han people in the west didn't send out a large force, but only sent an obviously smaller forward to station at Black Rock.
On the west side of the forest, even the baits sent out by Qifu Hegan were not very concerned, and they were lazily motionless.
Qifu Heqian's plan is of course to let the Han people in the west and the Han people in Youbei fight first so that they can reap the benefits. But the problem is that if the Han people on both sides move slowly, then Qifu Heqian's plan
There will be loopholes. In other words, it is possible that they will be forced to join the battle group, or they will have to suffer losses in advance, and if the Han people on both sides discover Qifu Hegan's intentions, they may turn around and copy Qifu
He Qian's nest, pricking the chrysanthemums begging for He Qian.
"Are they Han Chinese from the west or east? Do you have any other concerns, or are there any follow-up moves?" Faced with the current situation, Su Li's age did not seem to bring any intellectual blessing.
Qi Fuhe glanced at Su Li but did not speak immediately.
He kept Suli by his side not because he liked Suli, but because Suli was the oldest among all the major tribal leaders, so he was relatively "safer". Qifu Heqian hoped that this would be the case
After the first battle, he successfully climbed to the top and became the Great Demon King of Xianbei, instead of being beaten by a group of warriors on the eve of taking the throne, and he didn't want to be backstabbed by the ministers assisting the kingdom at the critical moment. As long as he controlled Suli's children, then
Suli can naturally become Qifu Heqian's best assistant minister.
Erecting the old horse bone of Suli will also help unite the various tribes in Xianbei.
But all of this has a premise.
Defeat the Han people.
"If there is a follow-up, that is to reserve an army..." Qifu Hegan focused his attention on the current situation, but our scouts have been observing this route and there is no Han cavalry within a hundred miles.
.』
Su Li frowned and was silent. His instinct told him that the Han people were very cunning, and abnormal behaviors often represented some kind of conspiracy of the Han people. However, the Han people in the east and the Han people in the west obviously had hatred and conflicts when they met.
There is no doubt that conflicts will inevitably occur, so there is indeed nothing wrong with Qifu Hegan's plan.
So what's the problem?
Su Li has no experience in commanding such a complicated battle situation. Before his strength had not weakened, he preferred to fight with a battle ax himself instead of sitting behind and gesticulating.
The Xianbei people have no written language.
The absence of writing is almost equivalent to the absence of an education system and the absence of the power of cultural inheritance. This makes the Xianbei people's shortcomings in this area exposed when they encounter major problems.
Xianbei has only one native language, which is probably a variant of the Xiongnu language. Occasionally there are some hieroglyphic-like writings, which are not systematic. To communicate any important events, at most they can draw a few symbols on a wooden board or a piece of sheepskin, and the tribe will
The so-called wise men, or smarter people, who are responsible for conveying the news, bring wooden boards or sheepskins to translate to the tribal leaders.
That’s right, even if you have a native language, you still need translation.
It's like the same sentence "偁嬢卡狠". Is it a greeting or a curse?
In this kind of primitive civilization, the way of survival is often to rely on experience or intuition to do things, including fighting. Therefore, Qifu Hegan knows how to package himself, and he is really a little wise, similar to
People who are self-taught among the Xianbei people are often worshiped and trusted as half gods by ordinary Xianbei people.
The reason why it is "half" is because Qifu Heqian still has many mountains to climb, and there is still a long way to go before he can reach the level of a hero similar to Tanshihuai. Back then, Xianbei gathered around Tanshihuai.
Many smart people have given advice to Tan Shihuai, but now there is only one Lao Suli around Qi Fu Heqian. The others are either worried or not smart.
Lao Suli had no choice, so all the pressure was put on Qifu Heqian. Maybe if that cunning guy Gujin was around, he might have some ideas, but Gujin was from Wuhuan after all, and after all, he and Xianbei
There are more or less gaps between people.
Qifu Hegan felt depressed, so he walked out of the tent to relax, and then suddenly saw Yu Zhudan.
Yu Zhutan was among a group of Xianbei people, shouting loudly and waving his sword so brightly that it was like splashing water. The Xianbei soldiers surrounding him let out bursts of cheers.
Qi Fuheqian's heart moved, and he raised his head slightly to signal to his guards, "Go and call Yu Zhutan over..."
After a while, Yu Zhutan came, walked up to Qifu Heqian, stroked his chest and saluted.
"My skills are pretty good..." Qi Fuhe said with a dry smile.
Yu Zhutan laughed and said, "I'm just a little better than the average person, but I can't compare with the Great Khan."
Qifu Heqian didn't say anything more on this topic. He motioned for Yu Zhutan to follow him on the tour of the camp, and at the same time told Yu Zhutan about his current worries.
Yu Zhutan's heart was full of hatred for the Han people, so he naturally wanted Qifu Hegan to fight against the Han people, so he said: "The purpose of the Great Khan is to make both the Han people in the west and the east fight.
Get up... So now that the Han people in the east are out, whether they walk slowly or fast, sooner or later they will encounter the Han people in the west, right? So now there is no need to care about what the Han people think.
We might as well attack the vanguard team of the Han people in the west first, surround them as quickly as possible, and eat them. Then these Han people in the west will inevitably move, and we also have better reasons to urge the Han people in the east!
When the Han people on both sides fight, we will surround them from behind... Hahaha! By then, in the whole desert, who can be the opponent of the Great Khan?!"
The more Yu Zhutan talked, the more excited he became. When he came to the last part of the story, he almost started dancing.
The Xianbei soldiers in the surrounding area did not actually hear clearly what Yu Zhutan said. They only heard Yu Zhutan's last few words, saying "Who can be the opponent of the Great Khan?", and they suddenly felt very sad.
It makes sense, and the Xianbei soldiers who responded quickly also shouted following Yu Zhutan's words...
"The Great Khan is invincible!"
"The Great Khan is victorious!"
First a small group of people were shouting, then a large group of people were shouting, and then everyone around them was shouting.
The excited Xianbei people opened their voices, roared, and vented.
People in the desert seem to have loud voices and full of emotions...
You can't do it without raising your voice. In ancient times, there were no mobile phones, the place was big, and the distance was far away. If you wanted to say something, even if you were depressed, you had to shout loudly to make the other party hear you. Suddenly, all the Xianbei people felt their hearts surging, beasts
The blood... well, the blood is boiling. I wish I could jump on the horse and gallop on the battlefield.
Qifu Heqian was infected by the high emotions of the Xianbei people around him, and his eyes filled with excitement.
Lao Suli had just returned to his tent and lay down, touching his old waist. Not long after he heard the noise, he quickly got up again and hurried over to see Qi Fuhe surrounded by the Xianbei crowd.
Do it, you don't know what's going on, you don't know what's going on.
"Tomorrow morning, we rush to the Black Stone Forest! Encircle and annihilate the Han Chinese in the west!"
When Qifu Heqian saw Su Li, he said loudly.
Su Li was stunned for a moment, "Great Khan, but people from the Majiao Tribe and the Coyote Tribe will be here tomorrow, and there are some tribes that are farther away who are still coming. Why don't we wait?"
Qifu Hegan waved his hand, "No wait! I'll send some people to stay here. Once they arrive, tell them to head to the Black Stone Forest quickly!"
Qifu Heqian looked at the excited Xianbei soldiers around him and felt that his military morale was useful, so he said loudly, "Eat part of the Han people in the west! We will lure the Han people in the west out, and then we will take them to fight with the Han people in the east."
Fight! After this battle, both the Han people in the east and the Han people in the west will be finished! By then we will have many trophies, which will allow our sons to spend this winter comfortably!"
The surrounding Xianbei people cheered involuntarily, as if they had obtained the spoils Qifu Heqian had mentioned.
Qifu Heqian stood in the center of the crowd with his head raised and chest raised. The expression on his face was both serious and somewhat proud. His eyes revealed excitement and expectation, and his whole body exuded confidence and fighting spirit.
But Su Li on the side had her mouth closed and her head slightly lowered. No one could clearly see Su Li's face and expression...
…
…
In Yuyang City, Cao Chun got the latest information and couldn't help but excitedly said, "Okay! Governor Xiahou is now involved in the Taiyuan soldiers. Even if Zhao Zilong is in the northern domain, he has to look south! You can send Gao Junhou
Lead three hundred soldiers and horses as the vanguard to join Xianbei! March to Changshan!』
Why should we be a pioneer?
On the one hand, it's because of Xianbei's request, and on the other hand, it's because he's afraid that Xianbei "doesn't understand" where Changshan is...
The messenger immediately found Gao Junhou and conveyed Cao Chun's instructions.
Gao Junhou is Gao Ai.
Gao Ai was from Youzhou in northern Hebei Province. He had joined thousands of people as bandits in northern Jizhou and Youzhou. Later, when Cao Cao came, he saw that the situation was not good, so he put down his butcher knife and surrendered to Cao Cao. Cao Cao did not kill Gao Ai, but
He was placed under Cao Chun's command.
The reason why Cao Chun sent Gao Ai to the Xianbei tribe was because Gao Ai actually knew some Hu language. After all, those who could serve as bandits in Youzhou must have some connection with the Hu people.
When Gao Ai received Cao Chun's order, he was sitting on a stone and chewing grass roots in a depressed manner.
He felt that defecting to Cao Jun might be a wrong choice.
The more I think about it, the more I regret it.
He is even less happy than when he was a bandit in the past.
Although he was poor when he was a bandit, sometimes he would eat one meal without the next, but it was not like now, where every move was restricted. He felt that since he surrendered to Cao Cao, his smile had become less and he found that he became more and more
He has become more and more withdrawn and likes to live alone. He even feels that Cao Chun does not have the heroic spirit of the northern men, and is like a sinister villain full of bad things. But after thinking about it, it seems inevitable.
After all, Cao Chun was not born in the North, but grew up in the Central Plains area where there was originally a lot of care and calculation.
Thinking of this, he felt a little frustrated, because he knew that his brain couldn't play with these bad guys.
Cao Chun is not good at fighting, but when it comes to plotting, there are not many northern men in the land of Youzhou who can beat him. Now that the order has been issued, Gao Ai has no other option, just order the troops.
Going north, and then over the Yanshan Mountains, we encountered the cruising Xianbei cavalry.
Cao Chun killed many people.
Everyone knows that there may be spies here, but most of them are ordinary people, but Cao Chun doesn't care.
Gao Ai could only not care...
As a barrier to Yuyang, Yanshan Mountain cannot be compared with the Qinling Mountains, nor can it be compared with the Taihang Mountains, let alone the Kunlun Mountains and Tianshan Mountains. The only one that can be compared may be Mount Tai. Climb Mount Tai and the world will be smaller.
, then climbing Yanshan Mountain and visiting the North China Plain, but in fact it is just the same thing. In the late Ming Dynasty, although there was also the factor that the defense line in the north of the Ming Dynasty was too poor, Jianzhou Jurchens could come in and out at will, and go around in front and behind.
It means that it is not worthy of its name.
Su Li learned the news and came to greet Gao Ai.
"Old friend, stay well!"
Gao Ai laughed and said hello to Su Li.
After leaving Yanshan, Gao Ai seemed to have regained some of the joy of being a bandit.
Su Li also laughed, stepped forward to hold Gao Ai's hand, and then the two patted each other's backs to show their affection.
"You came just in time, the Great Khan is preparing to send troops." Su Li said with a smile, but there was a different look in his eyes.
"What?" Gao Ai was stunned for a moment, "Is the Great Khan preparing to send troops to Changshan New City?"
Su Li laughed, "No, the Great Khan is preparing to attack the Black Stone Forest."
"Black Stone Forest?" Gao Ai's eyes widened, "How could it be the Black Stone Forest? This... this Black Stone Forest is in the north! Changshan New City is in the south! Did the Great Khan say he didn't read the map?"
Su Li said: "Of course the Great Khan knows where the Black Stone Forest and Changshan New City are... Of course the Great Khan has the Great Khan's idea. Haha, those of us who are subordinates can only obey orders... right?
?』
Gao Ai looked at Su Li, "My general asked me to lead the Great Khan to Changshan New City, not to the Black Stone Forest... I need to report this matter to the general..."
Su Li waved her hands indifferently, "This matter is not a secret, everyone knows... Who you want to tell, it is your business... It has nothing to do with me, and you don't need to tell me... But as an old friend, still
I would like to advise you, don’t disobey the Great Khan’s wishes, otherwise the Great Khan may hang your head on the great banner..."
Gao Ai was silent for a moment and nodded slightly, "I may understand a little bit..."
