Horqin was completely stunned after hearing Bu Dugen's words. Although he knew that the current situation was very unfavorable to his side, it was not like this. If Bu Dugen said so, the Xianbei clan might really be doomed.
"Yes, if our tribe is gone, Xianbei will have no meaning of existence, if our family and country are lost, I, Bu Dugen, can only die to apologize."
Although Bu Dugen seemed crazy, he knew that he would be more awake than ever. If those third-party tribes outside of himself and Kebineng still wanted to watch a show, then he could only break
The jar was broken.
"I understand, and I believe they can also understand what is going on now. If they really ignore us and let our tribe die, then everyone might as well die together."
At this time, Horqin also realized that he was going to be exterminated, and he still couldn't care about the Xianbei tribe. At worst, everyone would die together.
"Well, that's what I mean. You can take the people there right away. I will lead the large troops to the west as soon as possible. If there is a chance, I will stop them. If there is no chance, I will wait for your news. If they do not agree to send troops, directly
Send someone over to inform you, and I will lead the people to surrender immediately, so as to protect the safety of our tribe."
Bu Dugen waved his hand to Horqin. What he had to do now was to confirm the situation immediately and see how the tribe was doing. Even if he had no chance to take action for the time being, he still had to find the target.
"yes."
Horqin did not dare to stay, and left the large army with a thousand cavalry. Then he divided it into five and ran towards the tribe mentioned by Bu Dugen. He himself took the people directly to Keer, who was closest to them.
Special Department.
The troops here are divided into two groups. Gao Lan at the back is still seizing the time to catch up with the enemy, and Xun You also leads the 20,000 cavalry of the suppressing army to prepare to attack Bu Dugen in front and behind with Gao Lan.
Time passed day by day, Horqin traveled day and night and finally arrived at Colt's department.
"who?"
Horqin had two hundred soldiers and horses, but the Colt tribe was a large tribe, with nearly 20,000 soldiers. The soldiers on the periphery detected Horqin's presence and surrounded them directly.
"I am Horqin, the general under Budu Genshanyu. I have something important to ask to see Mr. Colt, and I would like to inform you."
Horqin glanced at the enemies surrounding him, and immediately announced his identity, and at the same time lowered his posture, thinking that he would not have been so kind to these soldiers before.
"Horqin?
Horqin in Budugen?"
Horqin's name is also well-known in the Xianbei grassland. After all, he is also a general under Shanyu in name only.
"Yes, it's me."
Horqin was slightly relieved when he heard that the other party knew his name. At least the person in front of him would not regard him as incompetent.
"You take Lord Horqin to the tribe. I will go ahead and report to the tribe leader."
Now that Horqin had confirmed his identity, the Colt tribe surrounding them did not dare to neglect them and took Horqin directly towards the tribe.
"Patriarch, Horqin, under Bu Dugen, has arrived outside our tribe. He said he has important matters and wants to see the patriarch. I am trying to arrange for him to delay his trip to the tribe. I don't know if you will see him or not."
Soon the captain in charge of the outer perimeter came to the tribe and wanted to report the news he had just received to the tribe leader Colt.
"What did you say?
Horqin under Bu Dugen is here?
What does he want to do?"
Hearing the captain's words, Colt was stunned. You must know that they are a neutral tribe, and they treat Kebineng and Budugen as neither side. He has no ambitions, and does not want to fight for Xianbei Chanyu, as long as he can guarantee
If your tribe is prosperous, you will be satisfied.
Moreover, this attitude of several of their tribes has been recognized by both parties. Now that Bu Dugen's general has arrived at his place, could it be said that he wants to change his attitude and defect to him?
"Clan leader, I don't think we can meet this Horqin. We are in a neutral state with several major tribes, and I heard that they both experienced a big battle in Delklin Grassland. Both sides suffered a lot of losses. They are coming here, probably because they want to
Let us join them and increase the strength of the Budugen tribe."
Arlande, the captain of Colt's command, glanced at Colt and directly said what he meant.
"Clan leader, Horqin is actually Bu Dugen's subordinate, and Bu Dugen is also the nominal chanyu of Xianbei. Although he has lost a lot of strength now, I heard that there are still 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers and horses, and their tribe is larger than ours.
Too much,
If we don't even meet each other this time, we will completely offend Bu Dugen. When they regain their strength later, they will definitely settle accounts with us."
After hearing what Alande said, the other captain, Timoshin, shook his head and expressed his analysis.
"Well, what Timoshin said is right. Horqin can't neglect it. Although Budugen's strength has suffered a great loss, his foundation is still there. If he really doesn't care about it now, he will be given a chance when the time comes. If he uses this excuse to come
, it will be difficult for us to prepare a banquet to entertain Horqin."
Colt glanced at the two captains, and after thinking about it for a while, he still didn't dare not see Horqin, and directly asked people to prepare a banquet to entertain Horqin, the great injustice.
Horqin, led by the soldiers, went directly to Colt's station, and Colt was waiting outside early for Horqin to come.
"Horqin, my friend, you are welcome to be my guest."
When Horqin arrived, Colt went straight up and gave him a big hug.
After the two hugged, Colt directly took Horqin's hand and entered his tent.
"Serve the wine."
After sitting down, Colt directly asked people to serve drinks.
After a while, the lamb was roasted, all the fine wines were served, and the table was set with a dazzling array of dishes.
"Colt, I'm here to ask you something on behalf of Shanyu."
Horqin didn't pay any attention to the delicacies on the table and spoke directly to Colt.
"If you have anything to do, let's talk over a drink. Let's finish this bowl of wine first."
As soon as Horqin spoke, Colt's heart skipped a beat, asking himself for something was probably not a good thing. He quickly picked up the wine bowl and wanted to clink glasses with him.
Glancing at Colt, Horqin was also reluctant to show his kindness. He picked up the wine bowl and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Colt."
"Come on, drink more."
Colt picked up the wine bowl again.
"good."
After the two of them drank seven or eight bowls of wine together, Colt couldn't resist anymore.
"Colt, I really have something important to come here this time. The great Han Dynasty Liangzhou Mu Xunyou led his troops to the north and suddenly went north to attack our tribe and defeated the soldiers and horses who stayed behind. Now he has taken the people of our tribe to Bingzhou.
,
Master Shanyu asked me to come here to ask you to send troops immediately and attack the Han with us. As long as we can get the people back, we will agree to whatever request you make."
Horqin stood up suddenly and saluted Colt.
"What did you say?
The Han sent troops and the Budugen tribe has been defeated?"
Hearing Horqin's words, Colt stood up suddenly. The news shocked him so much that he really couldn't understand it.
How dare the Han Dynasty, which is still in turmoil, send troops to sneak attack Budugen. In any case, it is the royal court of the Xianbei tribe in name. If they attack there now, it is equivalent to starting a war with the entire Xianbei.
"Well, it's absolutely true. Now the Han Dynasty has started a war against us Xianbei. It's no longer our family's business. I hope you can send troops to save us."
Horqin saluted Colt again, but this time his attitude was at its lowest, hoping that the other party would send troops to save his tribe.
"This matter is of great importance, I need to think about it."
Horqin was right. Now the Han Dynasty was really going to war with Xianbei. This was no longer an internal fight between them, but a war between countries. He really needed to think about it carefully.
"Colt, you must make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise as time goes by, even if you send troops, it will be difficult to recover."
Hearing that Colt wanted to think about it, Horqin couldn't help but frown. Now it's a time-consuming job. If you think about it for ten days and a half, the day lilies will be cold.
"Well, I'll give you an answer as soon as possible. Don't worry, I know the severity. Someone is here to arrange for Horqin to rest."
Since Colt said so, Horqin had nothing to say and left with Colt's people.
"Have Timoshin and Alande come over immediately to answer."
Soon the two captains came directly to Colt's main tent.
"Clan leader, why did Horqin come here?"
Arlande glanced at Colt, wondering what the purpose of Horqin's visit was.
"The Han Dynasty Mu Xunyou of Liangzhou sent troops north to directly attack the Xianbei Royal Court in Budugen. Now they have all been captured by the Han Dynasty. Horqin has come here to ask us to send troops to help them rescue the tribe."
Colt looked at the two of them and directly told Horqin's purpose.
"This is real?"
Timoshin glanced at Colt, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes. He never imagined that the big man would send troops to the north, and the attack would be the royal court, which symbolizes Xianbei. This is too scary.
"It's absolutely true. I called you here just to discuss what we should do.
Should we send troops or wait and see what happens?"
Colt glanced at the two of them and directly told them to come over, not for anything else but to discuss what to do next.
"Chief, since the big men dare to attack Budugen now, they must know the consequences. Therefore, they may be ready to go to war with the entire Xianbei."
Timoshin looked at Colt, thought for a moment and immediately came up with the worst plan.
"Well, the big man may have already known that Bu Dugen and Kebi can fight in a decisive battle, so he sent troops while the two were injured. If we send troops, we are likely to face a strong attack from the big man.
So my suggestion is not to send troops. Since the Xianbei grassland is so big, it will not be easy for them to find us.
Moreover, the Han people only treat the grassland that way, and they will return to the Han Dynasty after a while, so Budugen and Kebi will suffer heavy losses, and we will have a chance."
