Inside the royal tent of the Xianbei people, Bu Dugen's mood these days was like the weather. It had just been warm for a few days, and then it became cold again.
The harvest from Meiji, the king of the Southern Huns, made Bu Dugen feel very happy, and he praised Tuoba Guoluo for a while. He could get a large amount of supplies without any loss. This was the result Bu Dugen wanted.
With cattle, sheep, women, and children, the tribe can continue to grow and develop, the population will increase, and people's hearts will settle down and obey his management and command.
As for who will sit in the royal court of the Southern Huns, Bu Dugen didn't want to care when the Chanyu Qiangqu died before, but now that Zha Tiansheng is dead, he still doesn't want to care.
In Bu Dugen's opinion, the so-called Chanyu of the Southern Xiongnu Royal Court is similar to what a few children call emperor or king when they play house.
On the grassland, the competition is still about strength. Without strength, it is just like a joke.
So Bu Dugen comforted Alanyi and Linyinqin, and said that the matter would never be settled like this. However, considering that Alanyi and Linyinqin were injured, the Southern Xiongnu Royal Court temporarily
Let's put the matter aside for now, and then continue the expedition after the two men recover from their injuries.
That being said, but when will the next expedition against the Southern Huns be, haha, who knows?
Compared to the Southern Huns, who did not pose much of a threat, Bu Dugen now had more troublesome things to solve.
"What? Well, I got it..."
Bu Dugen frowned. Although there was some anger in his heart, it did not show much on his face. He waved his hand and asked the soldiers of Ke Bineng who had just returned from the mission to go down first.
As expected.
Kebi Neng denied it, and also said that his own people were also attacked. He also wanted to ask Bu Dugen what happened?
Hum hum.
It really looks like that.
During this period, many small tribes in the Yanmen area suffered inexplicable looting and massacres by soldiers and horses. According to the accounts of some survivors, the accent they heard was Hu.
After initially thinking that it was a vendetta between tribes, reports appeared one after another in front of Bu Dugen, which attracted Bu Dugen's attention.
The successive fall of small tribes, although the total number of dead was less than 2,000, caused panic among many Xianbei people, and many small tribes even began to migrate to more remote places, which also led to the collapse of Budu
Difficulty of root tracing.
This group of attackers was very cunning, and there was no pattern in the tribes they chose to attack. Their methods were extremely cruel, which made Bu Dugen thunder furious. However, he sent troops to search the grassland several times, but they were unable to stop this group.
people.
The grassland is too big, and there are mountains and forests in the Yanmen area, as well as the old Great Wall and some abandoned villages and towns. Unless Bu Dugen mobilizes an army to search like a net, he will have to find Erratic in the vast grassland.
Hundreds of people, this...
It's really difficult.
Bu Dugen clasped his hands behind his back and walked back and forth on the soft fur mat a few times, then ordered the guards to call Tuoba Guoluo over.
"Your Majesty..."
Tuoba Guoluo walked in, caressed his chest and bent down as a courtesy.
"Well, sit down." Bu Dugen waved his hand and motioned for Tuoba to sit down. Then after taking a few steps back and forth, he said, "Have you heard about what happened near Yanmen these days?"
Tuoba Guoluo nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I heard about it."
"Well, tell me what you think."
Bu Dugen said as he walked back to the throne.
"This..." Tuoba Guoluo hesitated.
"It's okay. Speak boldly." Bu Dugen encouraged. Among the younger generation members of the tribe, Bu Dugen still thinks highly of Tuoba Guoluo. After all, he knows how to think, unlike some guys who only know how to kill people with a knife.
, I was confused every time I asked about other things.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Tuoba Guoluo thought for a moment, and then said slowly, "...Although there is no special pattern for the tribes that were attacked, most of them were in the areas of Pingcheng, Qiangyin and Gaoliu.
nearby……"
Bu Dugen nodded.
"I heard that the attackers are very powerful. They basically attack directly without much damage. Such soldiers are not something ordinary people in the tribe can do. At least they are similar to Badu'er in the tribe.
Only a kind of person can do this..."
Bu Dugen continued to nod.
"...and in this area, who else can have such brave warriors?" Tuoba Guoluo continued, "I heard that the Han general Gongsun has a group of brave men..."
Bu Dugen gently patted the armrest of the throne and said: "You mean that Gongsun from Liaodong? That General Gongsun himself is also fighting a war. It is unlikely that he would send such a powerful warrior here... let alone kill a few people here.
What good does a tribe do to the Han people?"
Bu Dugen shook his head, disagreeing with Tuoba Guoluo's inference.
"But..." Tuoba Guoluo glanced at Bu Dugen, and then said, "...the other nearby Han people have either fled or are dead. I really can't imagine that there are still Han people over there who would send people here.
?Could it be that they defeated the Han people from the Yinshan Mountains?"
Bu Dugen suddenly smiled and said: "Let me tell you, why do you always hang around the Han people? Those few people who survived said that these damn attackers were talking about us..."
"What?!" Tuoba Guoluo pretended to be very surprised and said, "Your Majesty, this... this... could it be..."
In fact, Tuoba Guoluo also believed that the Han people could not be responsible for this, but after all, this involved a conflict between several Xianbei kings, and he did not want to rashly wade into such troubled waters.
Bu Dugen nodded and said: "I just don't quite understand, he...why did he do this? He said he wanted to rob the population, but he killed all the people. He said he wanted to seize the territory, but no one came to occupy it...
Just to kill people?"
"Well..." Bu Dugen shook his head and denied: "...Definitely not. It would be easier if this guy was really just a murderous person... There must be some reason for this... There must be a reason.
!Tuoba, you are young and have a good mind, please help me think more..."
"...Okay, Your Majesty." Although he was reluctant, since Bu Dugen made it so clear, Tuoba Guoluo couldn't refuse.
"Pingcheng, Qiang Yin, Gao Liu...hiss..." Tuoba Guoluo suddenly took a breath of cold air and his face changed.
Bu Dugen looked over and said, "Huh? What did you think of?"
"this……"
"Oh, speak boldly!" Bu Dugen frowned.
"Yes, Your Majesty...I...I just thought that although the three places of Pingcheng, Qiangyin and Gaoliu are small tribes that are not very eye-catching, this place is just right...well, if...if we talk about Han people
If it attacks from the east, these tribes will definitely notice it immediately and then notify us. Naturally, we can make some preparations in advance..." Tuoba Guoluo said while looking at Bu Dugen's face, "
...Now, these small tribes have either been killed or migrated away...So..."
"Hahaha... How could the Han people come from the east... the east..." Bu Dugen just laughed twice before his face darkened, "... you mean... the east?!"
Bu Dugen suddenly stood up, walked back and forth a few times, then patted Tuoba Guoluo on the shoulder, smiled and said: "Well... young people's brains are easy to use, I understand... you
Let’s go down first…”
Tuoba Guoluo saluted and resigned.
Bu Dugen nodded, smiled and watched Tuoba Guoluo leave, then walked around the tent a few times, suddenly stopped, lowered his face, and looked fiercely to the east...
Borrowing arrows from a straw boat: Zhuge managed to escape the attack of a catapult, and also harvested one side of arrows... The soldiers came to report: "The arrows are full, and the hull of the boat is tilting!" Lu Su said anxiously: "Mr.
Good strategy?" Zhuge shook his fan and said leisurely: "What's the difficulty? Just turn the ship around and continue shouting to return home..." After a while, the soldiers burst into the cabin with sweating profusely: "The load on one side of the ship is too heavy! It can't be turned around.
Here it comes! The rudder is broken! If this continues, the boat will capsize!" Zhuge looked up to the sky and sighed: "Damn old man Luo! He must have never been on a boat!"
