"If you want to take advantage, all the men in the Central Plains must die!" Luo Shixin raised the tomahawk he snatched high, "Brothers, show some color to the robbers!" His cry echoed in the mountains.
In an instant, it seemed as if the Great Wall in the distance and the nearby rocks came alive, raising their arms in response.
The Central Plains is indeed facing a lot of internal troubles, and the Central Plains court is indeed unsatisfactory. But that is no reason for foreign enemies to invade. As long as there are half a man around, what those bandits have given will be returned to themselves in multiples sooner or later.
This is an oath written into the Great Wall and into the mountains and rivers. It is not just an oath shared by Luo Shixin, but also by all those with Chinese blood.
Singing in the history of history, I can hear it in my dreams and when I wake up.
Shibi Khan (Note 1) looked at the quarreling tribal leaders in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation in his heart. The southern expedition, which had been prepared since his father was alive, had just begun and had to end. Except for a few cars
Except for the fine gold and silver that could not be used as food or firewood, the Turkic country got almost nothing. But from then on, those Central Plains people would never believe that the Turks were brothers, no matter whether the Sui Dynasty continued to control Yanmen County, or which rebels
The thieves have occupied these forty-one cities, and they will regard threats from the north as their main defense targets. If the coalition forces want to find the same opportunity to conquer the south, they will probably have to wait at least five or six more years.
"But will Changshengtian give me another five years?" Shibi Khan asked himself sadly deep in his heart. His physical condition was not very good, half of it was due to the hard work of government affairs, and half of the reason was due to the current situation.
These Melu, She, Tutun people. As long as these people are not careful, they will play all kinds of strange tricks. They will either attack each other or plunder other people's cattle and sheep, as if they can't live without taking advantage of each other.
.Staring at them all day is more tiring than dealing with government affairs.
"We can't just leave like this, otherwise we will be looked down upon by those people in the west!" The loudest one in the crowd was Shibi Khan's eldest brother Zilifu. This young and energetic guy was just like him.
They look the same, rough and lacking in scheming.
"Yes, we would rather die under this wall than turn back!" The other person who shouted that he wanted to fight the Sui army to the death was his second brother Du Bisi. His words were very fierce, and he even did not hesitate to draw his sword and kill himself to show his determination.
.But in Shibi's view, Duo Bisi's excitement was more like a disguise. He used this tough stance to win the loyalty of some young warriors from the tribe.
Shibi Khan was very dissatisfied with Du Bi Si's clever behavior. But he did not feel it was very dangerous. There is an old saying on the grassland that wisdom that can be seen is not wisdom. The more Du Bi Si showed off, the more he showed off.
, Shibi Khan became more and more sure of controlling him. What he disliked the most was Gutuolu who sat in the corner of the tent and did not speak from the beginning, even though the other person's behavior had always been well behaved.
To be precise, Gutuolu is Shibi's cousin. Judging from the history of the Ashina family in the past hundred years, this relationship of close blood but not flesh and blood is extremely dangerous. For example, the clever cousin took away the
The nephew's position, or the clever cousin accidentally annexing the cousin's tribe, happened almost every twenty years or so, and the cycle continued like a curse.
Gutuolu is obviously the one who has been cursed. This guy is famous for being weak and afraid of his wife. He always takes three steps back when encountering problems. But such a cowardly person rarely suffers losses in fights with others.
To deal with Queyu, he had to join forces with him. Unexpectedly, after breaking Queyu's teeth, he realized that what he gained was far worse than what he lost. With his "loyalty" and decisiveness, Gutuolu inherited everything Queyu had in the east of the desert.
Power. In addition, he also received the canonization of Shibi, and the goodwill of Xi, Lin, Khitan and Shiwei tribes that Queyu had never won.
Shibi Khan wanted to find a chance to kill Gutuoru, but the opponent was as slippery as a loach in the stream. This man almost never made any mistakes and never argued about the distribution of the spoils. Every year, he gave the tribe elders and shamans
He has always paid the most filial piety. Moreover, this person knows how to preserve his strength very well. Just like this southern expedition, he was initially placed on the outermost edge, in the direction most likely to be attacked by the Sui reinforcements, but the results continued
After several fierce battles, the other devices and Burkes suffered considerable losses, but Gutuoru was almost unscathed.
No one can accuse Gutuolu of not being active in fighting. His reputation for cowardice has already spread to the outside world. It is a shame for someone to be unwilling to move forward courageously. It is a shame to happen to him. Moreover, in the battle with the Sui reinforcements,
, Gutuolu has worked much harder than usual. All the defeated people were rescued by him, and more than a dozen Burkes owe his life-saving grace.
For this kind of naughty man who has made many good friends, Shibi Khan could only treat him with courtesy no matter how resentful he was. He couldn't make other Khans feel cold just because of his temporary intolerance, so he tried his best to make himself
A smile appeared on his face, "Gutuolu, what do you think? Should we withdraw our troops back to the grassland, or continue to attack Yanmen?"
'If I say to withdraw to the grassland, you will definitely put all the responsibility for the withdrawal on me alone!' Gutuolu cursed in his heart, with the same smile on his face, "In the words of Hui Khan, I suggest to continue the attack.
Yanmen. Anyway, we still have enough dry food for a while. Once the news from outside is verified, it will be too late for us to withdraw our troops!"
"What are you talking about? Do you think it's the enemy's plan to mislead the enemy when more than a dozen tribes were burned in a row? If we continue to waste time here, our house will be robbed. At that time, why bother to return to the division?
Anyway, we will starve to death if we go back!" Yudushe Ashinajiepo and Gutulu had always been at odds with each other. After hearing his suggestion, he immediately rushed forward to refute.
"The Great Khan asked me, and I made suggestions as part of my duty. If brother Jiebo disagrees, just tell me your suggestions. I will listen attentively!" Gutulu bowed to Jiebo and humbly asked for advice.
"They are not burning your tribe!" Jiebo choked on the soft nails and rolled his eyes. His territory is at the foot of Baishan Mountain, the closest to Yanmen, so the news of Liu Jizhen's departure from the fortress was the earliest
News came from there that in just three days, Liu Jizhen ransacked more than twenty winter camps, burned all the hay that the herdsmen had worked hard to accumulate for a year, snatched away all the livestock, and displaced more than 10,000 old and weak people.
These more than ten thousand old and weak sons and fathers were all under the command of Ashina Jiebo. In the past few days, everyone had no intention of fighting the Sui army. They were clamoring every day to go back to Baishan Mountain and kill Liu Jizhen for revenge.
and regain the stolen rations.
"My subordinates suffered more severely from the disaster, but I have to take the overall situation into consideration!" Gutuolu smiled slightly and corrected the mistakes in the other party's accusation, "Luo Manzi took his tiger and horse cavalry out of the fortress, from the wet water to the
Ruo Luoshui, his people are doing evil everywhere!"
This is also a well-known news, but every time it is repeated, everyone's heart tightens. The evil name of General Luo Yi is not for nothing. When he fought against the Western Turks, Luo Manzi won every battle.
The blood on the ground can cover a person's ankles. Even to this day, when some tribes mention this person, cold air comes out of their backs.
First, he was possessed and took away the holy wolf, and then Luo Yi invaded the territory. Of all the people here, no one suffered more losses than Ashina Gutuoru. Even so, he still forced a smile and devoted himself to the whole world.
For the sake of the tribe. What kind of broad mind is this? Thinking of this, many Xiaohan's eyes turned to pity when they looked at Gutuolu. At the same time, their eyes when they looked at Ashina Jiebo were full of disdain.
Shibi Khan knew that he had missed the point again, so he waved his hand and ordered Jiebo to stop arguing with Gutuolu, "Forget it, you two, stop arguing. Gutuolu is right, we should take the overall situation into consideration. Jiebo
Bo is right to worry, if the news about Luo Yi and Liu Jizhen's departure is true, we should indeed protect our own people first!"
"Each tribe left half of its troops to continue besieging Yanmen, while the other half returned to save themselves. Liu Jizhen did not have many men under his command, and Luo Yi's men were mainly armored cavalry. The number of troops could not be large, and the marching speed would not be too fast.
!" Duo Bi Si walked forward and suggested loudly.
This suggestion was indeed feasible, so it aroused a burst of responses. However, everyone's enthusiasm dimmed because Gutuoru asked again, "I also agree with Du Bisi's idea. If someone is willing to lead the team,
To fight against Luo Yi, I can give him half of my troops!"
In an instant, the tent was so quiet that even breathing could be clearly heard. No one took the initiative to ask for help, including the two brothers Ashina Qilifu and Ashina Dubi who were the most hilarious. Qianli kept their mouths shut.
They go all the way to help other people's tribes, while the tigers and warriors sit on the grassland waiting for work. No one can take advantage of it, and if they are not careful, they may even lose their fame for a lifetime.
Shibi, who was sitting on the tiger-skin chair, couldn't help but sigh again when he saw this scene. This is the key to why it is difficult for the Saishang people to take over the Central Plains. Each tribe has its own thoughts, and there are as many surnames as there are.
This is an idea. When the Central Plains is in decline, everyone can still join together to gain some advantages. When the Central Plains is reunited by a strong man, the people in the fortress will only have to be defeated one by one.
"Let's withdraw as soon as possible, at least we can retreat with the whole army!" Ashina Choyu saw Shibi's true thoughts, stood up, and suggested in a low voice. He now has no soldiers in his hands, and he can no longer threaten him.
Anyone. So no matter what you say, it will not cause unpleasant associations.
Without waiting for others to speak, Shibi Khan nodded first, "Que Yu is absolutely right. Since we have lost our spirit, we might as well withdraw our troops as soon as possible. We just have to think of a sound withdrawal plan, and we can't be too hasty. We gave the surname Li
An opportunity to take advantage of!"
This is another gain from this southern expedition! All the tribal leaders knew the general named Li. It was this man who snatched Gutuolu's silver wolf and wounded his wife. It was also this man who, together with Qu
A sudden nail was stuck behind everyone, like an awl for more than ten days, and whoever touched it was pricked with blood all over.
"I suggest that everyone evacuate one by one, act in a unified manner, and then disperse and go home after crossing the Sanggan River." Queyu thought for a while and offered advice again, "Master Judushe's tribe suffered the greatest losses, so he was the first to evacuate.
.The territories of Huoba and Ashubi were also attacked, and they took the second wave. Du Xigui, Zhanchu and Jie Tuolishi took the third wave..."
"I am willing to marry everyone!" Ashina Gutuoru finally became brave for once, stood up, and said loudly.
Everyone's eyes were attracted to him again. No one expected that at the critical moment, the most cowardly person would actually behave so bravely. Compared with Ashina Lifu and Ashina's aggressive external strongman, Gutuo Lucai
It is more worthy of the bloodline of the Ashina family and more worthy of everyone's trust.
"I, the Bone Toru of the Ashina family, as long as I am still breathing, the Sui army will not be able to catch up!" Ashina Bone Toru pulled out a knife and pricked his finger, "As witnessed by the Immortal God, if you violate this oath, you will
Humans and gods have been abandoned together!” (To be continued)
