Regarding the assassination of Tuoba Liwei, General Zhendong was not trying to comfort Han Long.
It would be best if the assassination could be successful, then the identities of Dou Bin, Tuoba Desert Khan and Tuoba Luguan could be used to recruit Tuoba Xianbei without any bloodshed.
Especially when Tuoba Liwei died, and Tuoba Desert Khan and Tuoba Luguan had the support of a large army, I believe it will not be difficult to recruit them.
As for what to do after gathering together, that is not what the Hu people have to worry about. This general has his own concerns.
And if the assassination fails, it doesn't matter.
Just in time to alert the snake.
This time they went out to the fortress with the intention of confronting Tuoba Xianbei head-on. Unexpectedly, they actually took the initiative to send troops south in advance to weaken themselves.
Does this mean God is helping me?
"Let's all go down first, let the soldiers have a good rest today, and then set off again after a full meal tomorrow."
General Zhendong specifically gave Tuoba Liwei the opportunity to gather his clan members, but he did not intend to leave too much time for him, otherwise it would appear to be too deliberate.
Whether he can seize this opportunity depends on Tuoba Liwei's ability.
But with this person's ability to turn Tuoba Xianbei into the first tribe on the grassland, I believe he will not let me down.
——
As a tribal leader, Tuoba Liwei spent decades turning Suotou from a small tribe that relied on others to a large tribe with hundreds of thousands of string controllers. There is no doubt about his own ability.
Of course, the help of some unknown people is also indispensable.
But to make hundreds of thousands of people who control strings obey orders, strict organization is one of the important prerequisites.
At least compared to those tribes on the grassland that were about to degenerate into primitive societies, Tuoba Xianbei's organization was much tighter.
And the prestige that Tuoba Liwei had built up over the years forced the Tuoba Xianbei tribes to come closer together.
Yes, force them together.
Even if Tuoba Xianbei could dominate the grasslands, they could still only be considered in the transitional stage from a primitive society to a slave society.
Tuoba Xianbei's main tribe has eight tribes in total, Suotou is the core, and the remaining seven tribal leaders are all Tuoba clans, which can be regarded as having the same origin.
There are also sixty-eight tribes with different surnames as subordinate tribes of Tuoba Xianbei.
The leaders of these tribes are all responsible for their own control. They have a tributary relationship with Tuoba Xianbei and usually have considerable autonomy.
Over time, these tribes with different surnames lived together with each other, intermarried with each other, and gradually became Xianbei.
In addition, if the Tuoba Xianbei becomes stronger, they will gradually annex these tribes and turn them into the Tuoba clan.
While integrating tribal alliances, befriend China. If China is strong, it will dominate the grasslands, and if China is in chaos, it will wait for opportunities to move south. This is also the route in the history of Tuoba Xianbei.
It's a pity that they met a country bumpkin who messed up history.
A certain bastard knocked him down with one punch, completely disrupting the line of history.
The aristocratic family that was supposed to be at the top of China's political power was reduced to pieces by local bastards who used half of the dragon-slaying secrets.
Even Fu Kun, hatched by a local turtle, has the unprecedented ambition to annex the grassland - a natural wool producing area, who doesn't like it?
Sheep eat people...what's wrong with eating some barbarians?
I asked you what's wrong!
No?
If not, just look at my big mouth. Do I look like a vegetarian?
What about Tuoba Xianbei, what about the son of a goddess being the emperor from generation to generation, in Fu Kun’s eyes, that’s nothing!
Even if you are really the emperor... you still have to eat what you should eat.
Because I can't control myself!
As long as you have something to eat, even if you sell the rope to hang yourself, it will be enough!
Tuoba Liwei, who had no idea that he or, to be precise, Tuoba Xianbei had been targeted by Fu Kun, thought that it was just Dou Bin who betrayed him until now.
At most, it was just that the Han Dynasty sent a branch army to restrain itself and prevent it from going south to support Sima Yi in Hebei.
Didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at all.
He even thought about killing Dou and his bastard son when he returned to the clan.
Anyway, I have already killed one son, Tuoba Desert Khan - I don’t know whether the eldest son is dead or not, but it was his own acquiescence after all - and I don’t care about killing one more.
Tuoba Liwei, who was full of anger and hatred, even abandoned the cattle and sheep that he had brought to reward Dou Bin. Under the escort of everyone, he ran back to the tribe without any effort.
"Where's Guan Tuoba? Go and tie him up quickly!"
Returning to the tribe, Tuoba Li Wei had just dismounted his horse and immediately gave an order.
"Qiang!"
Tuoba Liwei gave instructions while taking out the saber he carried with him and striding towards his tent.
When he arrived at the tent, he suddenly opened the tent door and shouted:
"Death bitch!"
Unexpectedly, when I rushed in, there was no one in the tent.
"Someone is coming!"
"Ke Han?"
"Where is Keton?"
"Gen Kehan, Ke Dun went out with the fourth prince and never returned."
When Tuoba Liwei heard the words, he roared like a wounded tiger and slammed the saber in his hand against the tent wall.
The black-clothed deacon who followed him waved his hand to signal the guards to go out, and then said to Tuoba Liwei in a low voice:
"Ke Han, now is not the time to be impulsive. Dou and Tuoba Luguan obviously fled out of fear of crime. The top priority is to find out as quickly as possible how many people from the Wuluhui tribe have come."
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected. Ke Han should also issue the Ke Han order and make all preparations."
Tuoba Li took a few deep breaths, then suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice:
"What the deacon said is true. Come here, pass my order to tell all the tribe leaders that Wu Luhui has betrayed us and wants to take advantage of this moment to attack us."
"Let them summon all the warriors in the clan," Tuoba Li said through gritted teeth with a fierce look in his eyes, "I will lead the warriors to kill all their men and rob their women."
"Whoever can grab all the horses, cattle and sheep belongs to whoever can grab it!"
Not long after sending troops to Nanxia, Tuoba Liwei's second cold order spread to all the tribes as quickly as possible.
Unlike those who were well prepared to send troops to Southern Xia, Kehan's order to attack Wuluhui was sudden.
But this did not prevent Tuoba Xianbei's leaders from responding to Tuoba Liwei's call.
Over the years, Tuoba Liweikehan has proven time and again that he is the son of the goddess and an unparalleled hero on the grassland.
The most important thing is that as spring is approaching, almost every tribe has almost run out of food, and the cattle and sheep are at their weakest.
It would be best if we could have the opportunity to supplement some food for the clan.
The Luhui tribe may be considered a large tribe, but that is for other small tribes. For them, Tuoba Xianbei, they are not afraid at all.
While the adults from various ministries were gathering with their people, Tuoba Liwei still did not give up. He had people thoroughly investigate the whereabouts of Dou and Tuoba Luguan.
Finally, he learned that Tuoba Luguan fled to the southwest with Dou, his wife, children, and dozens of close followers.
"They must have gone to seek refuge with the Molu Huibu, that's for sure!"
Tuoba Li was so angry that his gums were about to bleed from biting down, "When I kill the deer, I will skin these two people with my own hands!"
Since forming an alliance with Sima Yi in the early years and receiving the land in Liaodong promised by Sima Yi, Tuoba Xianbei has abandoned the land of Beichuan and continuously moved towards Liaodong.
This is also to avoid the threat of Han Dynasty.
To the southwest is the Wuluhui tribe sandwiched between the Han Kingdom and Tuoba Xianbei.
That bitch and traitor ran in that direction. What else could she do except seek refuge with Dou Bin?
Although Tuoba Xianbei tribes were coming to gather at the fastest speed, Tuoba Liwei, who was furious, could not wait any longer.
?????55.?????
He decided to set off immediately with the warriors of the tribe who had arrived.
Seeing this, the deacon in black quickly dissuaded him:
"Ke Han, although Dou Bin failed in his attempt to assassinate Ke Han, he escaped back. How could he be unprepared? Ke Han should not take it lightly."
"According to reports from the scouts, the Luhui tribe's army is only thirty miles away from here, and can be reached in half a day. Nearly half of the warriors in our clan are not here, so Han should be more careful."
"But Han is angry and raises an army, attacking unprepared and prepared. This is a taboo in using troops. How can there be any chance of victory?"
"Instead of attacking it, it is better to defend it. If it is faster, wait for two days, if it is slower, it will only take three to five days. All the tribes will be here. But why should Han worry that the Luhui tribe will not be destroyed without Luhui?"
The deacon in black tried to dissuade him again and again, and then he stopped Tuoba Liwei, who was almost carried away by the betrayal of his wife and children.
If it were anyone else, Tuoba Liwei would fly into a rage if he couldn't help it.
But the black-clothed deacon always expected everything to go wrong, so in the end he could only say bitterly:
"Then let Dou Bin live for two more days."
Then he ordered to the left and right:
"Go quickly and send orders to all the ministers. Anyone who fails to show up within two days will be deemed to have secretly communicated with the Moluhui tribe and is guilty of treason!"
Tuoba Liwei issued the Kehan Order in succession, and all the officials inside and outside Tuoba Xianbei were awe-inspiring.
They did not dare to neglect, and regardless of whether they were far or near, they hurriedly summoned the warriors of their clan and rushed over.
After repeatedly urging the adults of various ministries, Tuoba Liwei said to the leader who had arrived:
"Although we are temporarily guarding it, we cannot show weakness to the enemy, and the thieves have reached this place less than thirty miles away. I need a vanguard to lead the warriors to test it. Who dares to go?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man stood up and said loudly:
"Kehan, I am willing to go!"
Tuoba Li took a closer look, and it turned out to be his grandson Tuoba Yiyi.
If it were normal times, Tuoba Liwei would naturally be happy to see his grandson working so independently and bravely.
But now when he saw his grandson, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
There is no other reason, because Tuoba Yiyong is the son of Tuoba Desert Khan.
Although he acquiesced to his second son Tuoba Shilu to get rid of his eldest son Tuoba Desert Khan, he soon regretted it after his eldest son Tuoba Desert Khan disappeared and his life and death were unknown.
Because of guilt, he still let Tuoba Yiyin, the son of Tuoba Desert Khan, command his father's old tribe.
As the eldest son of Tuoba Liwei, the old tribe of Tuoba Desert Khan is naturally one of the eight core tribes of Tuoba Xianbei.
Tuoba Liwei issued the summoning order for Kehan, and the eight core members would definitely arrive as soon as possible.
"My grandson is quite courageous, but he is still young and has not been in charge of the tribe for a long time. He is inexperienced, so he can fight with me. It is best to choose an experienced person as the vanguard."
Tuoba Liwei rejected Tuoba Yiyong's invitation to fight.
His eyes fell on the others.
"Given my talent, I am also willing to be a pioneer!"
After Tuoba Liwei glanced back and forth several times, Karasuma King Kuxian finally stood up and asked for orders.
Tuoba Li took a look and was immediately overjoyed:
"King Ku Xian can share my worries and live up to my trust in you in the past."
Among the great people outside, King Ku Xian of Karasuma can be regarded as someone close to Tuoba Liwei. In addition, Karasuma can be regarded as one of the top tribes among the sixty-eight tribes with different surnames.
Among the sixty-eight tribesmen with different surnames, King Kuwan of Karasuma was the most powerful, so Tuoba Liwei tried to win over him.
I heard him say again, "As the deacon said, Wu Luhui's coming this time was premeditated, so I would like to give you another three hundred good horses to strengthen the army."
They sent a large army south and already took away most of Tuoba Xianbei's good horses.
At this time, there was no Luhui tribe coming, so Tuoba Liwei had to gather all the horses that could still run.
Normally, 300 good horses would not be noticeable at all.
But in this situation, it can be considered a generous act.
Ku Xian naturally understood this, but when he saw him, he bowed again:
"Thank you Kehan, but Kehan just sit in the tent and listen to my good news!"
After saying this, he went out to gather all the warriors from his clan and headed towards the direction of Wu Luhui's tribe.
——
"General, there are Hu cavalry ahead to fight!"
General Zhendong, who led the army to approach Tuoba Xianbei without hesitation and tried his best to prepare Tuoba Li, was soon rewarded by the scouts.
Hearing the news, General Zhendong showed a faint smile on his face:
"Tuoba Liwei did not disappoint me. He actually dared to take the initiative. Send an order for Dou Bin to lead his men to meet the enemy."
"Got the order!"
This time the army was in formation, with Wu Luhui's troops at the front leading the way, Hu Qiyi guarding the two wings and supporting Wu Luhui's troops, and the Han army's headquarters holding down the formation at the rear, like a wild goose formation.
Even if there was no military order from General Zhendong, Dou Bin's troops without deer would definitely be the first to engage the enemy.
Liu Hun and Tufa Tianli, as the leading generals on the left and right wings of the army, asked for orders:
"General, without the newly surrendered Luhui tribe, the morale of the army may not be able to be used. Moreover, Tuoba Xianbei is powerful, and without the Luhui tribe, Dou Bin may not be able to stop it. Do you want me to divide my troops and go to support him?"
In the battle outside the Great Wall of Youzhou, the elite cavalry led by the two men suffered heavy losses.
Although there were no Tuoba Xianbei cavalry in the ambush, there were Tuoba Xianbei cavalry as bait.
Therefore, the two of them did not dare to take it lightly.
"So what if I can't stop it?"
General Zhendong looked calm:
"Even if there is no Luhui tribe, no matter how inferior Tuoba Xianbei is, how can he be defeated in the first battle?"
"Besides, what if we are defeated? Are we still afraid that the barbarians can rush into the central army?"
"It's just a test. This time, let Dou Bin lead the people from the Luhui tribe. We can also take a look at the fighting strength of the Tuoba Xianbei people."
There were many Hu tribes that relied on the Han people.
There are those who are good at fighting and those who are not.
There are loyal people, but there are also those who have ulterior motives and want to take advantage.
Different tribes have different treatments.
There are no new members of the Luhui tribe, so this is the time for them to show off.
Their performance affects their future treatment.
Winning the battle is gratifying, as it means that the Han Dynasty has another batch of righteous soldiers to choose from.
It doesn't matter if you are defeated. The big deal is that you will have to do more hard work in the future.
There is nothing in this world that comes without hard work, and there is no good thing that comes without hard work and is beneficial.
Di Yi are like animals, fearing power but not being virtuous - Han Yi Ruyi is certainly right, but it must be on the basis of fearing power and being virtuous.
Otherwise, do you really think that Alang’s nickname of “King of Ghosts” and “God of Plague” was in vain?
PS, the following are free of charge:
The word "kehan" has been reminded by readers all the time, so I will give an explanation here.
According to current historical data, it is certain that "Khan" originated from Tuoba Xianbei.
However, in Tuoba Liwei's era, "Kehan", "Sir" and even "Chanyu" were all titles for the leaders of the grassland tribes.
But the emperors of Tuoba Xianbei, especially the Northern Wei Dynasty founded by Tuoba Xianbei, used the word "Kehan", as evidenced by the emperor's memorial stone tablet.
It is no longer clear when "Kehan" became "Khan".
Of course, it may also be that the Han and Yi people were mixed in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the court did not have so many rules on titles.
Therefore, the official writing of the Northern Wei Dynasty was "Kehan", and it didn't matter if the people called it "Khan". Anyway, as long as the pronunciation is correct.
As for later generations writing history books, most of them followed the Han people's habit of using khan instead of khan.
After all, even now, we think "Khan" is better than "Khan", right?
