After accepting the appointment, Bisi first changed his appearance, wrapped his face in linen, and wore a yellow and white military uniform. He carried a bow and hunting knife on his back, looking like a hunter. Then he took dry food and two good horses and walked along the desert road.
Edge left Shuofang County cautiously.
After entering Xihe, in order to avoid the search, he went directly north from Huze to Wuyuan County. He was worried that he might be intercepted along the way, but it turned out that it was unnecessary. Because Yu Fuluo was assassinated last year, there are almost no people here.
There were no more hunter visits, let alone interrogations. No one had killed them for several months, and the elk in Huze became bolder. They drank water calmly when they saw Bisi.
After leaving Huze, dozens of miles further north, there is the rolling river, with endless green grassland on both sides of the river. Bisi walked west along the river, only to realize that the world is so vast, and his mind is so broad. On both sides of the Hetao,
The Xianbei people were singing songs along the river. He knew a little bit of the Xianbei dialect and could hear something to the effect:
"Under seventy green hills,
It’s the endless Cilechuan River on the edge of Dasawa.
The sky above our head is like an endless dome,
Thick clouds cover the vast wilderness.
Walking on the blue hillside,
That's a long-maned horse.
Lying in the lush grass,
That is a fat and tender sheep.
On the saddle blown by the strong wind,
Those are the tall figures of father and brother.
Those who live in the vast sky,
That is the proud man of heaven who never strays from horseback and bow and arrow."
The melody of the song is desolate and long, like an eagle spreading its wings and gliding over the boundless grassland; or like a man walking slowly and trusting the horse, and as far as the eye can see, there are strong grasses all over the plain.
Bisi felt very sad when he listened to the songs. He then remembered that the Huns were originally the masters of this land. Now things and people have changed. It was in the songs of the Xianbei people that he could appreciate the feelings of his ancestors who traveled across the grassland.
When he arrived at Yunzhong County, about thirty knights with a rope on his head felt that his words and deeds were incompatible, so they stopped him on the south bank of Baiqushui and asked about his origins. Bisi truthfully confessed that he was the envoy of the Huns' king.
, came to ask for help from the Xianbei Chanyu.
These knights only thought it was a joke at first, but after hearing him speak more and more detailedly, these knights became serious, with excitement in their eyes. The leader said to him: "As you said, the king of the house is the Huns."
Proud son, our leader Shan is the incarnation of God walking on earth. I think with his wisdom, he will definitely help you. You have never been to Mobei, so you must have taken a lot of detours. Follow me and I will take you to see us.
Chanyu!"
So they put Bisi on a taller white-maned horse, and they rode quickly from the east of the clouds, passing through the salt swamp and the strong overcast to Pingcheng. As soon as they entered Pingcheng, they saw the mountains suddenly rising from the grassland, and there was Baishan Mountain to the north.
There are Shuangshan Mountain, Erlang Mountain, and Huanshan Mountain, Taibai Mountain, and Liuling Mountain in the south, but it is still intermittent here, as if a few knuckles stretched out in the wilderness, holding Pingcheng in the palm of your hand.
Bisi only waited outside the king's tent for about half an hour before someone asked him to come in. After he waited for the guide to open the tent, the scene inside made him breathless: the king's tent was full, with twenty people sitting in two rows.
The people who came were fully armed and armored, and they were obviously all adults from the Xianbei tribe.
There are two seats in the tent. The man sitting in the middle is about forty years old, with a green face and energetic eyes. He wears a golden crown on his head, a fox velvet cloak, and holds a knife in his left hand.
Holding the silver plate in his right hand, he cut the venison on the plate into pieces. Such a situation made Bi Si immediately know his identity. This must be the Shanyu of Xianbei.
The Xianbei Chanyu spoke to him in Xianbei dialect and asked him if he had anything to use as a messenger. He presented the golden knife he had brought with him. The leader put down the venison, took the golden knife from the attendant, and played with it in his hand.
A smile slowly appeared on his face, and he began to ask about the situation of the uprising, the time, and the reaction of the Xiongnu Chanyu.
Bisi answered them one by one. When he heard that the Xiongnu Chanyu had been defeated for a while and had lost more than ten thousand troops, not only the Xianbei Chanyu looked happy, but even the Xianbei commanders couldn't help but started talking. Xianbei Chanyu said to him:
"Please exit first. I will discuss it with the commanders before calling you in."
When Bi Si went out, the leader asked all the commanders: "Go and carry me. I heard that Yu Fulu succeeded Shan Yu. I know that he is short of talent and narrow-minded. He will definitely promote civil strife. Now the Xiongnu is indeed in internal chaos. I feel that this
This is the opportunity that I, Xianbei, have been waiting for for a long time to expand my territory. What do you think?"
Su Liujin Heiqiao agreed and said: "What Shan Yu said is exactly what I said! The gods have blessed me, Xianbei. First I defeated Liu Bei, and now Yu Fuluo has destroyed the barriers. It is the time for us to use force. But in the eyes of my subordinates, it is not as good as
I pretended to promise the envoy that I would wait for the puppet king to lead his army to conquer that certain household first. We can take advantage of the empty border defenses in Dingxiang and conquer the entire county in one battle!"
Everyone agreed with this, but Tuoba Lin objected. He came out and said: "If the Chanyu really wants to expand the territory and consolidate the territory, instead of plundering and winning, then it is absolutely impossible."
Bu Dugen sat on Kui Tou's side and asked, "What do you think, Lord Tuoba?"
Tuoba Lin analyzed the matter and said: "If our army wants to capture Dingxiang, it will be impossible to win quickly. The Xiongnu tribe is scarce, but the cities in Dingxiang are all in the mountains. It will take a lot of time for our army to attack the city with its back."
But when Hu comes from a humble background, it is difficult to convince the masses. Even if he gains power for a while, it will be difficult to fight against Yu Fuluo for a long time. Once Yu Fulo annihilates the rebels and attacks Dingxiang with hundreds of thousands of people, even if our troops are not defeated, they will only be able to win.
We can just withdraw our troops."
Bu Dugen asked again: "Then according to your opinion, how should we act?"
Tuoba Lin paused for a moment, gathered his thoughts and then offered advice: "We must send out troops immediately to support Danghu. If Yufuluo sends troops to rescue Dingxiang, Danghu will cause trouble to the three counties of the Xiongnu. If Yufuluo is in this situation,
If we fight, but the morale of the army is difficult to stabilize, we are bound to lose! If Yu Fuluo still sends troops to suppress the rebellion first, then Shan Yu will have enough time to conquer the cities of Dingxiang. I hope Shan Yu will think deeply!"
Bu Dugen nodded in agreement and said to his brother: "Chanyu, I agree with Master Tuoba's strategy."
The leader tapped the golden sword in his hand and said to the commanders sitting down: "You have all heard it, then start preparing." Then he said to the attendants: "Call the messenger and tell him that I want to tell him good news.

——————————————————————————
After receiving the news of Yijinhuo's defeat, Humphrey was almost speechless. He had been infected with a little cold in the past few days and could only lie in bed to rest. His quilt was divided into three layers, the first layer was embroidered
There is a Guanzhong silk mattress with various animals in the forest. The second layer is a pure white long blanket woven with lamb hair. The third layer is a Jizhou Luo quilt with mountains and rivers embroidered on it. There are two beauties lying on the quilt next to him.
Keep warm and keep out the cold.
Humphrey didn't have a strong personality, but in such a gentle world, it made him wonder if he was a little weak. When he heard the news, he wanted to be angry, and imagined that he would work hard to kill the enemy, but there was no strength in his body, and his body felt that the quilt was being softened
The texture of the pajamas made him only move his arms twice in his pajamas, and then he stopped to rest. It was undeniable that it was comfortable, but when he thought about the successive defeats in the war, he couldn't help but associate his rule with these quilts.
They all seem to be generally weak.
The loss of more than 10,000 people was not a small amount. Yijinhuo was highly regarded by Yuvluo, so the soldiers sent to him were all elites under Shanyu's command, and they were definitely not the tribesmen who usually herded animals and mounted their horses in war.
Now that nearly half of them were lost, Yufuluo felt secretly resentful for a while, but he had no choice but to order Da Gu to rectify the defeated troops, and then summoned the kings to discuss the countermeasures.
At the meeting, his typhoid fever was slightly better, but his energy was still low. However, the Xiongnu kings were only obedient, and they all expressed their opinions and did not have any suggestions other than that. He angrily said: "What else do you want from you princes?"
What's the use?" A Pi Xiaowang who attended the meeting wanted to ease the situation: "The Chan Yu Tian is so wise that even a Chan Yu can't make a plan. Naturally, it will take time for all the great kings..."
Before he finished speaking, Humphrey scolded him impatiently: "What's the use of such perfunctory villains here? Drag them out and give them fifty lashes!" It turned out that he actually said this to the guards, who waited for the guards to take the man away.
After being dragged out, he felt that the sound of cracking the whip was too quiet, so he shouted angrily outside the tent: "Hit me hard!"
The screams from outside the tent leaked into the tent, making the kings inside the tent feel cold all over. The little king Bi, who was usually considered a close minister of the Shanyu, all ended up like this. Thinking of this, the princes did not dare to bow their heads.
Looking up, the Chanyu said nothing, and ordered the kings to go back and think about countermeasures, stay in Meiji for a few days, and then discuss it again here in five days, and then dismissed the meeting. When the kings came out, they saw the little king with his back
With bloodstains all over him, he collapsed to the ground, fainted, and left in a hurry without even daring to take another look.
But within five days, the kings reconvened on the third day. The reason was very simple. The Huyan tribe in Wuzhou brought new news: the Xianbei people once again raised an army of 50,000 and marched westward to besiege Wuzhou.
They are all waiting for help.
After hearing the news, all the princes present looked at each other, and saw that each other was full of worry. Humphrey's face was already as cold as ice. He forced himself to ridicule and asked the princes implicitly: "Now we are attacked on both sides.
The puppet king of Xianbei leads an army to besiege Wuzhou in the north, and the rebels occupy Shuofang in the west. It is the moment of life and death in the country, and the future is gloomy. If you have any idea, come up with it. Those who risk death will have the idea of death, and those who surrender will have the idea of surrender.
, I don’t care at all!”
The princes remained silent, but this was different from the previous days. This time they really didn't know what to do.
Seeing the scene of the kings, Jiqu Zhiya couldn't help feeling relieved, and finally stepped forward and offered advice: "Chanyu need not be so worried. I have learned from the soldiers who fought in Dacheng. If Yijinhuo had not charged into the rear line under the westerly wind,
No matter what, they would not suffer such a big defeat. It can be seen that the rebels in Shuofang are not good at fighting. Shanyu only needs to choose a good general and lead more than ten thousand soldiers to confront the enemy. The enemy will advance without success, and the food and grass will not allow retreat, and the time will be long.
, the rebels will inevitably collapse."
His words were spoken in an orderly manner. Yufuluo nodded repeatedly, his eyebrows relaxed slightly, and he hurriedly asked: "What about Xianbei?"
Da Qiequ said sincerely: "Dingxiang is full of ravines and can't be conquered in a day. As long as we destroy the rebels and march north with great fanfare, the Xianbei puppet king will surely retreat when the time comes."
Yufuluo nodded with satisfaction, looked around and sighed: "Only now do I know that the old ministers left by the late king are still capable." He then asked: "What else does Daqiequ ask for? If you can win, I will accept it!" Dajiequ pondered for a moment and said: "Please ask King Zuo Ri Zhu and the old minister to go together."
Liu Xuan was stunned. Before he could refuse, Shanyu had already given him the gold belt and said, "Then I will help you go to Shuofang to defeat the thieves!"
