Huan Rong

In September of the first year of Taiyuan, Huan Rong led an army to conquer Tuyuhun himself.

The army marched westward all the way through thorns and thorns, and the defenders along the way were all lost, and they either died or fled.Most of the Xianbei tribes moved away, and the Qiang and Zahu tribes encountered a large army passing by. The leaders and tribes dismounted one after another, willing to raise their troops to submit to the Han Dynasty.

The army traveled all the way, there were not many battles, and there were quite a few tribes gathered.

Entering October, the army got closer to Xiqiang Mountain, and finally encountered a large army of Xianbei.

To Huan Rong's surprise, this tribe was not ordered to attack, let alone to stop the advance of the Han army, but escaped from the guarded place and wanted to move to the Western Regions.

The migrating team was surrounded by Han soldiers, and the tribal leader knew that he could not escape, so he simply dismounted and abandoned his sword, saying in not-so-fluent Chinese, please see the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

"See me?" Huan Rong was very surprised, and looked up outside the tent.

As the sky darkened, the army chose to camp by a lake.It was an accident to meet this tribe, not in the plan.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the chieftain called himself the Xianbei Baibu, moved from the west foot of Xiqiang, and wanted to go to the Western Regions."

Shirabe?

Huan Rong's heart moved slightly.

Among the Tuyuhun soldiers captured in Wenshan, there were Baibu warriors.Since they migrated from Xiqiang Mountain, they must know the situation of Prince Tuyuhun's formation.

Thinking of this, Huan Rong closed the map and said, "Bring him here."

"promise!"

The soldiers retreated under orders, and not long after, the leader of the Bai tribe was brought to the tent, wearing a tuyuhun unique short gown with small sleeves, a small hakama, a long skirt cap on his head, and a machete at his waist.

Before entering the tent, the leader of the Baibu took the initiative to take off his saber, and took out the dagger from his belt and boot tuck.

He had long heard of the fierce reputation of Emperor Huan Han, who boiled the living and liked to eat raw meat, and his ferocity was no less than that of the northern Hu tribe.The leader of the Bai tribe made up his mind that he must not offend the emperor of the Han family unless he had to.

It doesn't matter if he dies, if he brings the whole tribe in, he is the sinner of Baibu!

Before entering the tent, the leader of the Baibu was stopped by Bald Guy and asked him to take off his long skirt and hat.

Seeing the totems on the neck and arms of the bald guy, the leader of the Baibu's expression changed slightly, and he blurted out on the spot: "The bald-haired department?"

The bald guy didn't answer the call. After careful inspection, he returned the long skirt and hat to him, and made two symbolic gestures under his neck with his fingers.The meaning is very clear, be honest after receiving the money, and don't make any bad ideas.Otherwise, go in vertically and come out horizontally, or even move the head, and die without a whole body!

After understanding what he meant, the leader of the Bai tribe shuddered subconsciously, stopped talking, and walked into the big tent.

The tent is very spacious, but the furnishings are quite simple.

There is a couch, a screen, and there are folded beard beds on both sides of the wooden couch, and there are five or six wooden boxes.Most of the wooden boxes are closed, only two are opened, and the silk cloth and bamboo slips in the box can be seen.

Sitting in front of the screen, Huan Rong was dressed in a dark coat and wore a sword with a beast's head on his waist.

Diankui Xu Chao is on the left and right, both wearing bright armor, without a helmet, holding the sword at his waist.A cold light shot from the tiger's eyes, and fell on the leader of the Bai tribe, as if a knife had been scraped, making him tense up.

Lowering his head, the leader of the White Tribe clasped his right hand on his chest and bowed deeply.

"Greetings to the great emperor of the Han Dynasty, may your greatness last forever!"

Huan Rong raised his eyebrows.

This sentence is new.

"Er Nai Bai is the leader?"

"Return to Your Majesty, that's right." The leader of the Bai tribe nodded.

"Move out from Xiqiang Mountain?"

The leader of the white tribe continued to nod.

"Why?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the eldest prince Tuyuhun is cruel and heartless, our tribe cannot survive, so we can only move north." The leader of the Bai tribe spoke concisely, telling the whole story about the eldest prince's forced recruitment of young and strong.

If it was just to recruit warriors, he wouldn't be so anxious and risk a huge risk to relocate.The seriousness of the problem lies in the fact that the eldest prince wants people to count, and starts asking for money and food again!

Some small tribes could not resist, and their cattle, sheep and livestock were taken away.Seeing that the cold winter is approaching, the whole tribe has no way out.

The Baibu tribe has more than a thousand members and more than four hundred warriors capable of fighting. It is considered a large tribe.Not wanting to suffer the same fate as others, the tribal leader and elders discussed together and left as soon as possible while they still had some money.

Even if you have to take risks, it is a hundred times better than being robbed of everything and waiting to die.

Repelling the Han soldiers and re-entering the Huan Han to plunder are all big pies drawn in the void, and there is almost no possibility of realization.

Everyone saw the battle of Wenshan, and no one was a fool.

3000 people were chopped melons and vegetables, and none of them came back. With 6000 people trying to defeat the opponent's [-] army, it is tantamount to daydreaming.He can't even win a fight, and even mentioning post-war bonuses is obviously a fool!

After several discussions, the leader of the Bai tribe quickly made a decision and moved his tribe to the Western Regions!

"Oh?" Huan Rong asked after listening to the leader of the Bai tribe, "No obstacles?"

"Naturally." The leader of the Bai tribe smiled wryly, "If it weren't for the news from the capital, the eldest prince would definitely send troops to pursue him."

"What news?" Huan Rong had a hunch that this news was very important, so important that it would affect the entire battle situation.

"It is rumored that the king suddenly became seriously ill, and intends to pass on the throne to the second prince Shilian."

As soon as the leader of the Bai tribe finished speaking, Huan Rong's heart was beating fast.

Pixi is seriously ill?

"Are you sure what you said?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I dare not speak in vain. The news came from the capital, the Eldest Prince is very anxious, and the atrocities are even worse than before."

Elder Bai presumed that the news that the king was ill and passed on the throne was probably true, and that the eldest prince's actions were likely to be to accumulate strength and send troops to attack the second prince.

In normal times, this decision cannot be wrong.However, now that the Han soldiers are pressing down on the border, they will soon reach Xiqiang Mountain. If the natural danger falls, the entire king will be exposed to the blades of the Han soldiers.

At this time, instead of thinking about retreating the enemy with all their strength, they were distracted by fighting for the throne, and even caused a civil strife, which is simply extremely stupid.

At that time, the Tuyuhun regime will collapse from within even without the efforts of the Han soldiers.

"Theoretically, the Eldest Prince is leading the army abroad, and the lord will not be in a hurry to pass on the throne." The elder's words were meaningful, and they still echoed in the mind of the leader of the Bai tribe.

"The eldest prince has the Tiger Talisman, the second prince can't wait."

"The lord of the country is old and has suddenly suffered a serious illness... It can only be said that the heavens are merciless to Tuyuhun, and a catastrophe is doomed."

The elder did not say anything about the consequences of the catastrophe, nor did the leader of the Bai tribe ask.But after hearing these words, the latter's determination to move was even more firm, and he did not hesitate to confront the pursuers sent by the eldest prince.

Fortunately, the "bad news" in the capital came one after another. The eldest prince was distracted and didn't have much time to pay attention to the Baibu. Otherwise, the Baibu might not be able to run out of Xiqiang Mountain, let alone encounter the Huanhan army.

After listening to the narration of the leader of the hundred tribes, Huan Rong pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Is your tribe from Tuoba Xianbei?"

"Return to Your Majesty, indeed."

"Then, do you recognize this tiger talisman?" Huan Rong took out the tiger talisman given to him by the Murong clan, handed it to Diankui, and signaled him to bring it to the leader of the Bai tribe.

The head of the white radical was puzzled at first, and then looked solemn, obviously recognizing the tiger talisman.

"May I ask Your Majesty, where did this come from?"

"My concubine gave it to me as a gift."

Huan Rong didn't hide anything, and directly told about Murong's family, and briefly explained her background.

Knowing that the Murong family has Tuoba Xianbei blood, and knowing that Huan Wei was born of the Murong family, there is no need to talk about Huan Rong at all, the leader of the Bai tribe accepted the head and bowed, excitedly expressing that the Bai tribe is willing to submit to the emperor of the Han Dynasty and charge for Huan Rong!

Huan Rong accepted it readily, spoke some kind words to comfort him, and ordered someone to take him down.

Looking at the fallen curtain, Huan Rong suddenly sighed, the so-called nepotism is really useful sometimes.Should I thank Sima Huan and find a good day to worship?

J.

Huan Rong shook his head.

If Huanda Sima Quan knew about it, he might not be relieved, he would probably be extremely depressed, and a bit aggrieved by the way.

The leader of the Bai tribe saw the elders of the tribe and explained what happened in the tent one by one. The elders unanimously said that the leader was wise, and this decision could not have been better!

"Huan Hu in the Western Regions may not be easy to deal with, and there are Han soldiers and Qin soldiers stationed there. It will not be easy for us to gain a firm foothold when we move there." An elder laughed, "It is not the case now. The leader takes refuge with Emperor Huan Han, and we wait There is a birth!"

More importantly, the emperor's younger brother has Xianbei blood, even if he is not from the Baibu lineage, he can eventually belong to Tuoba Xianbei.According to the rules of the world, they can barely be considered royal relatives. If they can make military exploits, the future of the tribe will be bright.

"The leader may wish to ask the emperor of the Han Dynasty for orders, lead the tribal warriors as the vanguard, bypass the garrison of Xiqiang Mountain, and attack the eldest prince's army directly!"

"Please fight?"

"Yes." The elder continued, "If you want to win the trust and reuse of the new master, you must have a certificate! Such a great opportunity, the leader must not let it go. You must know that the Dugu Department is of the same line as me, and I also apologize. Its members are more than mine. Wait, if you also vote for the emperor of the Han Dynasty, you will definitely push me to wait!"

Competition is everywhere.

Tuyuhun's internal and external troubles are obviously the sunset of Xishan.

Pi Xi is alive, the court can still support it, and barely keeps the hearts of the people.Once Pi Xi dies, the country will be in chaos!

The eldest prince holds the military power, the second prince occupies the capital, and the other princes are not good at dealing with it. To say the least, before the Han army approached, civil strife had already destroyed the capital.

"If the lord hadn't suddenly increased his troops, he would have increased his troops to fortify, and united with Wuhuan, a vassal state, to block the Han soldiers from moving at Xiqiang Mountain. What a pity."

Elder Bai shook his head, still the same sentence, God is not merciful, so there is nothing to do about it.

What's more, he once suspected that Pixi was ill.

It's just that the matter has come to this point, the Baibu has changed their court, and the more chaos in Tuyuhun, the better for them.

What's more, because they were born in Tuoba Xianbei, they were always feared by Pixi and would not be entrusted with important positions. They would rather marry a Di girl than accept a Bai tribe girl as a concubine and give birth to a son with Tuoba Xianbei blood.

Switching to the Han Dynasty, of course, has various difficulties, but the existence of the Murong clan and Huan Wei gave them hope.

It is naturally impossible to push Huan Wei to the top position, and looking for opportunities to send out warriors to guard the prince will always protect the tribe's health.When Huan Wei becomes an adult, if he has a fief, they can go together.

Of course, that's something to consider later.

Now, they followed the emperor of the Han Dynasty wholeheartedly, and handed over the only vote certificate.

In October of the first year of Taiyuan, the Bai tribe rebelled against Tuyuhun. On the way, they met the Huan Han army and raised their troops to surrender.

In the same month, the Han army sent troops to Xiqiang Mountain, and the leader of the Bai tribe led the warriors to fight. They pulled out five military strongholds in the mountain and killed more than a hundred enemies.

The eldest prince Tuyuhun sent troops to support him, but he didn't want the Dugu tribe to take advantage of the situation and slashed the eldest prince from behind.After that, he ran out of Xiqiang Mountain and led his vassals to join Huan Han.

Pixi, king of Tuyuhun, was seriously ill and unable to handle political affairs.Holding the imperial edict with the seal of the sovereign, the second prince acted as regent. The first order he gave was to take back the military power of the eldest prince, and send the fourth prince to lead the troops to Qiangshan Mountain in the west to take over the army in the hands of the eldest prince and resist the Han soldiers.

The first snow fell on Xiqiang Mountain, and Huan Rong ordered a decisive battle.

So far, the Han army has changed its previous plan and decided to capture this natural danger, and then take down the entire territory of Tuyuhun.

If God can't take it, you will be blamed instead.

After the Battle of Wenshan, he discussed with Xie An and others, and temporarily suspended troops after taking the east of Xiqiang Mountain.After all, Tuyuhun's jurisdiction was special, and it was a cold winter, and without sufficient preparation, the generals who were born in the south might find it difficult to adapt.

Unexpectedly, Xianbei, Qiangbu and Zahu came to cast one after another, turning around and charging like a pack of tigers and wolves, not affected by the weather at all.

The opportunity to fight was right in front of us, Huan Shixiu and Liu Laozhi asked for a fight at the same time, and Xie An and Wang Biaozhi also agreed.Huan Rong adopted the opinions of all the people, with Huan Shixiu as the chief general and Liu Laozhi as the deputy general, he led the Han soldiers Hu Qi to attack Xiqiang Mountain.

Without exception, all the accompanying men mounted their horses with guns and went out to battle with the army.

The trumpets sounded, and the war drums resounded through the heavens and the earth.

Hundreds of military chariots lined up, soldiers with bright armor behind them, horses snorting, and the sound of weapons and armor clashing could be heard endlessly.

Dark clouds rolled in the sky, and fine snow fell little by little.

Standing in front of the road, Huan Rong stretched out his hand to catch a piece of snow, and seeing it melted in his palm, there was a smile line on the corner of his mouth, which disappeared without a trace.

"set off!"

When the Han soldiers conquered Xiqiang Mountain, Qin Yu had already left Chang'an and led his troops to Liangzhou.

When Qin Jing saw his elder brother, without saying a word, he entrusted all the government affairs and military affairs of Xihai, and asked Qin Jun to go north quickly, and he ordered all the cavalry under his command before heading south to Tuyuhun.

"Tuyuhun?" Qin Yu was stunned, "What are you going to do?"

"The news came a few days ago that the Han soldiers have arrived at Xiqiang Mountain." Qin Jing jumped on his horse, looked towards the direction of Tuyuhun, and said, "The territory of Tuyuhun is very large. The Han army took the east, and I can take the west by myself."

kindness?

Qin Jun felt that the matter was not so simple, but Qin Jing stopped talking, and left with fists in his hands, and galloped away on horseback.

After eating a mouth full of dust, Qin Yu was dumbfounded.

I sent my brother west in Chang'an, and hurried to Liangzhou. Without a few words, I was entrusted with the affairs of Xihai, and I saw my brother go south.Thinking about it carefully, he seems to be a laborer who was fooled by his brother?

Looking at the distant sky, Qin Yu was speechless for a long time.

According to the words of the third younger brother, it is really difficult to have a blind date with the fourth younger brother Kong Huai.

Thinking of Qin Jue, Qin Jue couldn't help but move slightly.

I don't know how the battle in Marutu is going, judging from the battle report sent back, Murong Chui probably won't be able to last for a long time, right?
