At this time, and outside the border, the leaders of the three Xianbei tribes arrived at the royal court one after another.
Although Tan Shihuai is old, he has personally cultivated all these leaders. In addition, Tan Shihuai has sky-high prestige and holds the most elite military force in Xianbei. After his order was conveyed, the leaders of the three tribes dropped everything they were doing and hurriedly He hurried to the Royal Court. The leaders of the three tribes, except for the middle one who was closest, the other leaders were not willing to stay too close to the Royal Court. Therefore, it took a lot of time to rush there.
When the leaders of the three tribes gathered outside Danhan Mountain at the same time, they just went in together.
The first to arrive was the leader of the central region, called Yi Zhuo. He was tall, and his appearance was somewhat similar to that of the great Han Dong Zhuo. He was a big black man, wearing tiger skin, with fierce eyes. He arrived at the Danhan Mountain. Outside, someone reported Tan Shihuai, and waited at the foot of the mountain for the leaders of the other two tribes to arrive. The leader of the west, Yili Qiaoyi, was his friend and had been friends with him for decades.
Si Fuze, the leader of the east, had always been at odds with him. Of course, this was to dispel Tan Shihuai's suspicion. If the leaders of the three tribes were too harmonious, they would not be able to become the leaders of the three tribes. Yi Zhuo waited at the foot of the mountain for half a month. , we have just welcomed Si Fu, the leader of the east. He is a Wuhuan himself. He was defeated in the battle and fled. He was taken in by Tan Shihuai. He later achieved military exploits and reached this position.
When he arrived here, he did not meet with Yi Zhuo. However, he did not go directly to see Tan Shihuai alone. Instead, he also waited at the foot of the mountain. After a few days, Yili Chenchuo finally left after a long journey. When he came over, he heard that he had come. Yi Zhuo was very happy and went to greet him in person. The two met at the foot of the mountain. As soon as they met, they hugged each other. Yi Zhuo was much taller than Yi Li Chin Che.
But there was no awkwardness at all when they hugged each other.
After a while, Yi Zhuo let go of his friend, looked at the haggard-looking Yi Li, and asked with some surprise: "My brother, what's wrong with you? You are in charge of thousands of miles of desert, and you inform hundreds of small countries. How did it become like this?" Yili Qinhao shook his head helplessly, without explaining, and said: "Let's talk about it after we enter the king's tent."
"Where is Sifu? Is he here?"
Yi Er Zhuo nodded without saying a word. He Li Qiu directly ordered the soldiers to call Si Fu. The three of them entered the king's tent at the same time to meet Tan Shihuai. The three of them were riding on the horse, but their faces were a little sad. , Tan Shihuai's health is getting worse and worse, and when he suddenly called them here, could it be related to the idiot He Lian? They were walking, and suddenly, the sound of fierce horse hoofbeats was heard in the distance!
Dozens of horses galloped in front of them. The horse in the front raised its front hooves high. The three of them looked quickly and were shocked. The person on the horse was Tan Shihuai. They immediately rolled off the saddle and dismounted. , knelt down on one knee and bowed to Tan Shihuai. The old Tan Shihuai was riding on horseback, looking at them coldly, and said displeasedly: "Do you want me to invite you in person?"
"I can't wait!"
They hurried back and slowly looked up. Their minds were full of the battles in the past when Tan Shihuai led them to kill all directions. They could not help but tremble. Their hearts were full of awe. Tan Shihuai waved his whip at them. Then he rode his horse towards the rear, and the three of them got on the horse and followed behind him. Gradually, the attendants all walked away, leaving only four horses and four people walking in the snow.
Gradually, the horses' hooves began to sink into the snow. This was an inaccessible mountain range and the snow was very deep.
Tan Shihuai jumped off the horse, and the other people also jumped off one after another, holding the reins in their hands. Tan Shihuai looked at them and said: "Il Zhuo, go hunt some animals!" , "Sifu, go make a fire!"
The two of them accepted the order, and Lili asked with some surprise: "What about me?"
"Just stay and talk to me!"
"yes!"
The few people dispersed, Tan Shihuai fiddled with the snow under his feet, and Yili Qinhao helped him fix it again, and then the two sat down. Tan Shihuai smiled and asked: "It seems, Zhang Huan didn't." Stop bullying you!" Yili was shocked and said with a sad face: "So you all know..." Tan Shihuai said with a smile: "How could I not know."
"Tell me, how many people did Zhang Huan bring?"
Qili Qinhao hesitated a little and said: "I went to attack him..."
"oh?"
"I heard that the Han Dynasty had countless cattle and horses grazing on the grasslands, so I ordered three thousand elite knights to go to the horse farm..."
"Then what?"
"That Zhang Huan is really cunning. He defeated me with more than a thousand Northern troops..." He said with some shame. Tan Shihuai shook his head and said: "He is not cunning, he is a Warriors, we have to respect warriors, not just you, even me, I was defeated by him back then and had no choice but to escape back to the grassland..." Tan Shihuai recalled with some complexity.
After a while, Yi Zhuo and Si Fu had both returned. Yi Zhuo had hunted some deer, and Si Fu had also brought some dry wood, and painstakingly lit a fire. Several people began to grill meat. Shi Huai smiled and asked: "Do you know why I want to set up the royal court here?"
Yi Zhuo smiled and said: "Could it be that the deer here are the most fragrant?"
Several people laughed, and Tan Shihuai said with a smile: "The greatest warriors can be raised in the most difficult places."
Several people listened attentively. Tan Shihuai suddenly reached out and grabbed a large piece of barbecue from the fire. Regardless of the heat, he put it directly in his mouth and ate it. While eating, he said: "I want to take it." Which one of you will take care of Zhang Huan’s head?”
The leaders were suddenly stunned.
"Zhang Huan???" Yili chin murmured, gritting his teeth and said: "He is in Xiliang now, and there are people led by me. Naturally, I want to fight the enemy with you!", and Yi Er Zhuo also hurriedly said: "This person is a serious problem for us. We must get rid of it. I have to go!" Sifu hesitated a little and said in a low voice: "Wuhuan and the Xiongnu are watching me here. If I leave, I'm afraid..."
Tan Shihuai looked at him coldly and said, "What are you afraid of? We can conquer the east once, but can't we conquer it a few more times?"
Si Fu nodded immediately and said, "I am willing to go!"
Hearing this, Tan Shihuai laughed loudly and said: "Zhang Huan was sent to the distant Xiliang by the emperor of the Han Dynasty. He only had ten thousand subordinates, but we have sixty thousand warriors, and each of us is an enemy." Ten, wait until the Emperor of the Han Dynasty knows about the war, and then send reinforcements. By the time the reinforcements arrive, we have already returned with Zhang Huan's head..."
He took out the wine bag from his waist, took a sip, squinted his eyes, and said, "I even admire Zhang Huan, so I want to use his head to make a wine cup so that I can drink happily. At that time, I will definitely let you drink a few more! Hahaha~~~" He laughed, and the other three people also forced their smiles and laughed too.
Tan Shihuai looked south in the distance and smiled.
"Little emperor, I still don't like your head, so I'll leave it to He Lian to make a wine cup!"
