Chapter 1388 There is no future without the Luhui Department
How to turn two tribes of in-laws into a blood feud?
General Zhendong replied: As long as enough people die, the in-laws will also become blood feuds.
Without Lu Huibu and Suo's head hit to this point, both sides were already red-eyed, and the blood and mud under their feet was enough to tell it all.
"Sir, we can't fight anymore, please leave some seeds for our tribe!"
Even Dou Suhou sold the heads of his tribe without any mercy.
But at this moment, he was still frightened by his own master.
He held Dou Bin tightly and tried to persuade him:
"If we continue the fight, our tribe will lose all its warriors. From now on we..."
"What future?" Dou Bin's tone was extremely calm, cold-blooded in his calmness, "Without the Luhui Department, there would be no future, and there is no need for the future."
Without the Luhui Division, there would be no future. In the future, there will only be the Kaigui Division.
From now on, Kaigui's tribe will only raise horses and herd sheep in the pastures designated by the Han Dynasty.
So what do we need so many warriors for?
These dead warriors are the best proof of Kaigui's loyalty to the Han Dynasty.
The old Dou Bin may have lost the ambition he had in his early years. Let alone an eagle, he may not even be considered a jackal.
But growing older has also brought him experience. He cannot become a jackal, but he can become an old fox.
He doesn't understand the saying that if you don't do it, you won't stop, but he understands this principle.
Not to mention that the situation is stronger than the person at this time.
There were Han troops watching from behind, and the women, children, old and young in the rear were again controlled by the Han people.
He fully believed that if he dared to show any hesitation at this time, the handsome general would definitely order the army behind him to trample him into a pulp without hesitation.
In addition to this, given the current situation, he also believed that betting on a big man had a far better chance of winning than betting on his own son-in-law.
In this grassland war, since the Luhui tribe cannot avoid it and can only choose one side, it must choose the side with a greater chance of winning.
This does not mean that there are no risks in taking refuge with the Han Dynasty.
For example, after all the warriors of his tribe were consumed, the handsome Han general turned his back and even turned around and ate up his tribe.
Dou Bin probably could only admit that he was unlucky.
But can we save our tribe by taking refuge in Tuoba Liwei?
Not really.
Before the arrival of the Han army, his good son-in-law was already planning to annex his tribe - merger, just to put it in a nicer way.
By living alone, Tuoba Li might be able to calm down a bit.
But once he dies, with the abilities of his two sons, they probably won’t be able to save the tribe.
Coupled with the conflict between them and Tuoba Liwei, what will be the outcome... Alas, it is difficult to say!
When it comes to that, it's just a matter of seeing how kindhearted the son-in-law is and whether he will let his two younger brothers go.
In the past, when faced with the behemoth Tuoba Xianbei, Dou Bin could only let nature take its course even though he had hidden worries.
At most, before dying, he told his two sons to be respectful to Tuoba Liwei.
Now, the Han army can actually appear on the grassland on a snowy winter day.
This is simply a miracle!
It completely subverted Dou Bin's outlook on life.
Despite being horrified, anyone with an average human intelligence can judge the following as long as they briefly think about it without going in depth:
Even if Tuoba Xianbei survives this time, he may not be able to recover in the next ten or twenty years.
Therefore, it is an instinctive choice to vote for Han.
Moreover, my son has frequently traveled to Pingcheng in recent years. According to the news from there, the Han people have never oppressed the Hu people in the market. Businesses are fair and no one is bullied.
Very rare, very rare.
You must know that when Southern Xia treated the Hu people well, it was in the era when the Xiongnu were the masters of the grassland, which was at least a hundred years ago.
In the last hundred years of the Later Han Dynasty, plus the years of Cao Wei, as long as they were in the frontier fortress, how could they not be bullied?
The reputation accumulated by Pingcheng Land Market usually seems to be just a few compliments from foreigners, which is of no use.
But in fact, at certain times, it can tip the scales.
People's hearts, people's hearts, these things sound ethereal, but they are real.
Such as now.
Because of the fair trade in Pingcheng Market, and because Feng had been throwing away money in order to bribe, bah, it should be said that in order to strengthen the relationship with the brothers from the prairie nation.
So Dou Bin would rather believe in the Han army.
Nor is he willing to choose a good son-in-law who believes in wanting his own tribe.
Of course, Dou Bin also knew that his good son-in-law was a rare hero on the grassland, or a powerful figure.
He was naturally prepared to pay a sufficient price for betraying his son-in-law and choosing the Han army.
These warriors who died in the clan were the necessary price.
Hearing the words of the adults, Dou Suhou felt as if he was struck by electricity. His body seemed to be frozen, and his open mouth seemed to want to say something, but nothing came out.
His eyes were a little unbelievable, even a little hollow and confused, as if the whole world collapsed at this moment.
Although Dou Suhou himself also sold the heads of his clansmen, they were all sold alive.
And the big man also promised that the tribesmen would be properly resettled, such as working as miners in the mines, as handymen in the workshops, and as herders on the pastures...
It's a bit bitter, but no matter how hard it is, can it be as hard as being on the grassland to fend off the disaster with your body?
At least if you go to work, your food and clothing will be guaranteed - after going to Pingcheng many times, Dou Suhou still has some understanding of the Dahan Gongfang Mine.
But he didn't expect that the adults would be much more ruthless than him in selling everyone's heads.
Seeing his son's appearance, Dou Bin sighed:
"Son, don't think that I am too cruel. If I had a choice, why would I be willing to do this?"
"I know that you two brothers have never been at odds with Tuoba Liwei, so you have always opposed the merger of the Luhui tribe and Suotou."
"So you would rather surrender to the Han than to Tuoba. It's just that Tuoba has some bad intentions. Is the Han country a kind country?"
If the Han Dynasty was a benevolent nation, where did the name Feng Wenshen come from?
Dou Suhou suddenly became confused: "Sir..."
After saying these words, Dou Bin raised his eyes and looked forward, and continued:
"I'm not saying that you did something wrong. On the contrary, now it seems that you made the right choice by choosing to surrender to the Han instead of submitting to Tuoba."
"I just want to tell you that since you have decided to defect to the Han, don't have any half-hearted thoughts."
It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I can’t.
To take chances under such circumstances is to seek death.
"There is an allusion in the Han Dynasty: the only way to survive is to fight with a last ditch effort. How can we say that this time, we are going to have to fight with a last ditch effort to sink the boat?"
Dou Suhou felt it was reasonable, but he had concerns:
"But sir, if someone in the clan is dissatisfied..."
Dou Bin smiled casually:
"So what if you don't accept it? The elite soldiers of the Han family are behind the formation, do they still dare to rebel in front of the formation?"
Seeing that his son was hesitant to speak, Dou Bin said again, "I know what you are worried about. It is that after this battle, the people of the tribe will be unstable and someone will take the tribe away."
Most of the larger tribes on the grassland are tribal alliances composed of many small tribes.
Even if it is a single tribe, if someone is dissatisfied, the father, son and brother will turn against each other, and then split up with the tribes that support them.
Didn't Tuoba Xianbei's core group, Suo Tou, also split into Suo Tou and Bald Department because of the incident involving the goddess of heaven?
Not to mention that there is now Han as a better choice.
If you are dissatisfied with what the tribal leaders have done, you can simply form your own tribe and then go to the Han Kingdom, and maybe you can get better treatment.
Although Dou Suhou said nothing, his expression said everything.
Dou Bin let out a "tsk" sound. He felt that all the words he had said before were in vain.
"You just need to remember that now we only need to look at the big man's face, there is no need to think about anything else."
Now that the tribe has surrendered to the Han, what will happen to the tribe in the end depends on the will of the Han.
Dou Bin looked forward with a gloomy look: "Maybe a big man would be happy to see such a thing?"
After saying this, Dou Bin looked at Dou Suhou again and smiled lightly:
"Don't worry, I know it well. Even if people want to complain, they will blame me. However, I am old and the time I have lived in this world can be counted."
"After my death, why should I fear public resentment? And after this battle, I plan to divide the tribe into two, and each of you brothers will receive one part in your name. In this way, my father and son can enjoy themselves in peace in Chang'an!"
At the moment of the war, Dou Bin and his son did not care about the fighting before the battle, but they cared about the enjoyment after the war.
If one general is incompetent, the three armies will be exhausted.
In addition, without the Luhui tribe, the troops fought hard and could not get any rest.
As the saying goes, a strong crossbow cannot penetrate Lu's silk.
The old soldiers of the division were tired and were forced by Dou Bin to run headlong into the second ditch of the Tuoba tribe, where they encountered the Tuoba tribe who were waiting in full formation.
Before the trenches could be filled, small groups began to retreat due to Tuoba Xianbei's counterattack.
Soon, Wulu, who had already suffered heavy casualties and was extremely exhausted, returned to his headquarters, but the retreat of this small group triggered an even greater rout.
Tuoba Liwei has been conquering the grassland for decades and has a favorable geographical position. How could he not see that the Luhui tribe is at the end of its war effort?
"Kill them! Don't let them go, kill them all!"
If he had to sit in the army and coordinate all the ministries, Tuoba Liwei could not wait to go directly into battle and hunt down the bastards of the Wuluhui tribe who started to retreat hastily.
Tuoba Xianbei's warriors responded to Da Kehan's call, roared, and began to counterattack regardless of the cold.
"Ah~"
The shrill screams rang out, and Wu Luhui, who had become a little confused, was unable to resist being attacked by the enemy.
Although there are still people who are trying hard to resist and want to stabilize the front, more people are constantly retreating or even running backwards.
The only ones who resisted were eventually drowned in the wave of massacre.
After killing a bastard from the Luhui tribe, Tuoba Xianbei's cavalry felt that the screams were extremely beautiful when they heard the other man's screams.
His eyes were shining with excitement and bloodthirsty, and he looked at the defeated soldiers who were turning their heads and running back, like animals scurrying around.
Da Kehan said that as long as he defeats the Luhui tribe, the things he grabs will belong to whomever!
"kill!"
The horse's hooves become more and more urgent, like a ghost seeking life.
In Tuoba Xianbei's eyes, the massacre began...
"This way, this way, go this way!"
Hu Qiyi, who joined the army in the second square formation, had already opened three retreat channels in the military formation, allowing the defeated Wu Luhui troops to pass through.
Dou Bin and his son were also in a defeated army. They even took the lead in escaping as soon as they noticed something was wrong.
Anyway, the Han general said, just try your best.
Dou Bin thought he had tried his best.
It is impossible to hope that the deer's back part can beat the head of the rope.
The army was defeated like a mountain...
Some people ran back to the rear of the formation along the retreat channel, while others were like headless flies, bumping into the front of the formation.
"Over there! Over there!"
Seeing the defeated soldiers getting closer and closer, some soldiers with loud voices shouted loudly and at the same time kept waving small flags in their hands to guide them in the direction.
However, Hu Bing's shortcomings of being undisciplined expanded infinitely at this time.
Only a few of them could maintain some sense, understand what was being said, or understand what Xiao Qi meant.
Turn around and run in the right direction.
But more often than not, they are coerced by panic and continue to rush forward without choosing the right path.
At the same time, he was shouting for help in nonsense and waving his hands constantly, trying to get the rebels forming a military formation in front of them to make way for them to escape back.
"Prepare!"
"put!"
The Ming Dy shot forward with a sharp sound that broke through the air.
This was a final warning, but it had no effect at all.
"put!"
"Peng! Peng! Peng!"
As soon as the defeated troops crossed the cordon, the general of the Yi Congjun gave the order without hesitation.
For a moment, arrows flew like locusts, almost covering the entire sky.
The panic in the eyes of the defeated soldiers turned into fear.
But at this time, even if they turned around, it was already too late.
In his desperate pupils, the arrows grew bigger and bigger.
"puff!"
Like the sound of beating leather.
"Chi!"
The sound penetrated the meat.
A large area of people and horses fell down.
The comrades who were supposed to be fighting together turned into executioners. The desperate defeated soldiers began to curse angrily and cry loudly...
But no matter whether he yelled or begged, he could not sway Yi Congjun.
"Lift!"
The rebel infantry at the front even raised their spears.
After all, the defeated soldiers did not have an organized attack. They were shot two or three times with strong bows and crossbows, forcing them to either turn around or go elsewhere.
Following closely behind, Tuoba Xianbei, who was driving the defeated soldiers, was also rude to those who dared to turn around. He raised his sword and dispersed the last few defeated soldiers.
Tuoba Xianbei originally planned to take advantage of the rebels, but when he saw that he could not take advantage of his defeat, he reluctantly tried to charge twice.
However, Yi Cong's army was well prepared and prepared, but Tuoba Xianbei lost hundreds of men and retreated.
As for Dou Bin and his son, they had already taken advantage of the pursuers to be blocked by the Yi Congjun, and returned to the central tent in embarrassment to plead guilty.
"My father and son are incompetent and have failed the general's trust. Please forgive me, general!"
General Zhendong glanced at Dou Bin and his son who were lying on the ground.
But the armors worn by the father and son were covered with scratches and mottled bloodstains, and even broken in some places, revealing the sweat-soaked clothes underneath, as if every inch recorded the brutality of the battle.
General Zhendong has been on the battlefield for a long time, how could he not see this little trick played by the father and son?
The military has long been ruined.
Otherwise, how to reflect the fierceness of the battle and the loyalty and bravery of the soldiers?
General Zhendong smiled faintly and said calmly:
"Chief Dou and the young leader led the crowd to kill the enemy. They killed many enemies. What crime are they guilty of? Please call them up quickly."
This is not a lie. Being able to break through Tuoba Xianbei's front line has achieved unexpected results.
Therefore, there is no need to take it seriously to the embarrassed appearance that Dou Bin and his son deliberately displayed.
Hearing this, Dou Bin and his son breathed a sigh of relief.
Obviously, they have passed the test.
"General, I have one more thing to report to the general."
"explain."
"That Tuoba is weak. I think I know it quite well. Now that the battle situation is at a stalemate, he will definitely send a group of troops to surround him and wait for the opportunity. The general must pay more attention to it."
"I understand, you go down and rest first."
Listening to General Zhendong's casual words, Dou Bin felt a little uneasy, but he did not dare to say more, so he could only retreat first.
