Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1254
In September, in the north of Saibei, the weather is very cold, especially after crossing the Yellow River and leaving the set area, the field of vision is vast and desolate.

At the foot of Yinshan Mountain, the wilderness is boundless, and several sections of remnant walls stand on the bare ground. When a gust of wind blows, the sand and gravel rustle and peel off. It looks dilapidated and stubborn. People wonder what they are insisting on?Could it be that the Qin and Han Tianwei contained in his body has not been completely wiped away so far?
Going further north, the frost is already extremely thick, and there is a thin and trembling turf growing on the dry river beach. These grasses may have well-developed root systems, but the plants exposed on the surface are pitifully meager.

Several pale bones of cattle and sheep were scattered on the barren grassland, and the circling vultures fell down occasionally. After a few pecks, the bones were completely broken into slag. After a few sounds, he spread his wings and glides weakly to a further distance.

"In this wasteland despised by gods and ghosts, can we really find a tribe that can rival the mighty Jin army?"

Under the gloomy sky, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy pointed at the desolate wilderness and cursed loudly while spitting the dust in his mouth.Beside him is a large team of hundreds of people, more than 300 knights are distributed in front and back, and in the middle are hundreds of people driving oxen and horses and dragging carts full of goods.

Although this team is not small, it is doubly small in such a world.The young man's furious cursing did not immediately elicit a response, and everyone around them focused on their own affairs. After a while, a weather-stained military general rode up here, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, please be patient for a while, my lord." Order us to follow His Highness to the north..."

"It's just you group of idiots who won't be able to defeat you, and even caused me to leave and suffer!"

Before the general finished speaking, the young man was already furious, he dodged the whip in the hand of the driver in front of the chariot, and lashed at the general.However, he was powerless after all, the whip fell on the general's armor and only drew out a puff of smoke, which was inhaled by him, and he coughed and cursed even more angrily.

The general didn't make any excuses, just let the young man vent his insults with a sullen face, and when the young man was too tired to return to the car, he rode his horse to the front of the team again, called the guide and asked, "How far is it from Lu Guchuan here?" ?”

"When I came here last year, there were still river guides in Hebei, but now..."

When the guide heard this question, he couldn't help showing embarrassment, and looked at the dry river beach for a long time.

It is very common for rivers to change course or dry up on the grasslands. Especially in recent years, the weather has become more and more severe, and such changes have become more frequent.The scenery on the grassland is the same, even the border herdsmen who have grown up here all the year round dare not go far alone to graze, for fear of losing their way.

When the general heard this, he immediately became furious: "Explore the route quickly, if you get lost after the time limit, you will die here!"

After being beaten for a while, the guide didn't dare to plead, so he took a few companions and scouts in the team and rode away to explore the road, looking for the target.

"I don't know if Your Majesty can withstand the Jin army's poor attack until the reinforcements arrive..."

The general's bloodshot eyes looked to the south, his expression was gloomy and sad.

The group of them is the army under the command of the false Han King Liu Changming. The leader of the team is Liu Xian, who was originally Feng Yi's guard. In the past few months, he has suffered repeated defeats in battle and Hu Renyi in the team has rebelled and betrayed. Not only was Feng Yi's territory lost, but even the land of Yiqu where Liu Changming was stationed was unable to hold.

Now the sphere of influence of the Han Kingdom is only a part of the northern cover area. Not only the concentration of forces has shrunk, but more importantly, the source of troops has also been lost after fleeing northward. If this continues, there is only one way to collapse.In order to survive, Liu Changming also sent many people to ask for help, hoping to get help.

Liu Xian and his party crossed the Yellow River from Hetao to the north, mainly to ask the frontier fortresses of the Xiongnu to go south for help, and the main target of their appeal was Liu Wuhuan of the Tiefu Ministry.

Liu Hu, the previous leader of the Tiefu Department, was entrenched in Shuofang. He was originally Lou Fangong, who was conferred by Liu Cong, the Han Lord, and treated him as a clan.Earlier, when Liu Changming restored the country and established Guanzhong, Liu Hu also sent envoys to contact him. Since Chen had tens of thousands of people and tens of thousands of armored men, he asked Liu Changming to entrust him with Zhao Jiudi.

At that time, Liu Changming was very powerful in Guanzhong, and he was ambitious to occupy this royal homestead and repeat Han Zhao Weiye, so how could he take Liu Hu, a Saibei miscellaneous man, in his eyes, so he was very indifferent to him.

Afterwards, Liu Hu sent troops alone, crossed the Yellow River and attacked eastward against Tuoba Daiguo, who had been restored under the support of Shi Zhao, but was beaten and defeated by Daiguo, and had to retreat to Shuofang in northern Saibei. He died shortly thereafter, and his son Liu Wuhuan led his troops, so it can be seen that Liu Hu had a lot of bragging about his own strength before.

But now Liu Changming is almost at the end of his rope. In order to survive, he must find a way to grasp even a straw.Moreover, due to the successive defeats on the frontal battlefields, the Di and Qiang people who had relied on him to make a fortune turned their backs on him one after another. Under such a bad situation, it is inevitable to think of these poor brothers of the Huns in Taobei.

Therefore, after Liu Changming gained a stable foothold in the set, he prepared heavy goods and sent his generals northward to contact the Tiefu Department. In order to win the trust of Liu Wuhuan, he even sent his youngest son Liu Gan as a hostage.

Northern Saibei was originally ruled by the Huns, but since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Huns' forces have been repeatedly suppressed, and then experienced a split, and the southern Huns surrendered inward.Until now, the Huns have little advantage outside the Great Wall.In the early years, the reason why Liu Cong treated the subordinate Tiefu Department as the clan was also to strengthen his influence outside the Great Wall.

Up to now, the most powerful people outside the Great Wall are the Xianbei who grew out of Donghu. In the east, there are Murong, Yuwen, Duan, etc., and in the middle, the Tuoba tribe dominates. To the west, there are Hexi Xianbei. department.When Tuoba Daiguo was the most powerful, even Liu Changming's currently occupied Taoinei area was his sphere of influence.

Liu Xian and his group wandered around Shuofang for another month, before they finally found a small tribe under the Tiefu tribe, and were then led to the Tiefu tribe's base camp in Luguchuan, Shuofang.

For the arrival of Liu Xian and others, the Tiefu Department responded with great enthusiasm, which is similar to a poor family in Zhongzhou receiving visitors from aristocratic families.The Tuge tribe was originally the strongest among the tribes of the Huns, especially the Liu Yuan family, a royal family that was once proud of the north.

Although the same surname is Liu, the Liu family of Tiefubu cannot be compared with the Liu family of Tu Ge, and they have a sense of inferiority psychologically.Moreover, the Tiefu Department's influence outside the Great Wall is not that great, and Liu Changming, the so-called King of Han, has gradually become a thing of the past.

So after Liu Xian and his party arrived, the entire Tiefu tribe, from clan leader Liu Wuhuan onwards, went out to welcome them, and prepared a very grand celebration in the clan.

On the Fortress in October, there were already violent storms and snowstorms, and even in Lu Guchuan's leader's tent, all kinds of things were scarce.The Tiefu tribe is different from the Tu tribes, which have been Sinicized for a long time. Many leaders and chiefs still maintain the wild custom of kuntou and hair coat.

After Liu Qian, a young man, saw these giants with extremely vulgar behavior and conversation, he felt timid and contemptuous in his heart. After drinking a few sips of strong bitter wine to strengthen his courage, he shouted not to fight against these barbarians. Eat at the same table.

Liu Wuhuan was in his early forties, and when he heard this young man humiliating himself and others, he felt very displeased. However, he still had some fear or hope for the Tu various royal families in his heart, so he suppressed his anger and chose some members of the clan. The girl accompanied Liu Gan to take a break.

Liu Xian had a heavy responsibility, so he didn't dare to underestimate Liu Wuhuan, but he was not so stupid as to directly explain his intentions, and at the same time, he strictly instructed his attendants not to reveal the current situation in the middle school.

There was a false and submissive temptation between each other, and each had reservations.Liu Xian inquired about the current military strength of the Tiefu Department, and claimed that the King of Han intended to manage the Tuonei Henan region, and wanted to wipe out the forces of Tuoba Daiguo in this area, and appointed his son Liu Qian as Henan Wang Yongzhen Fang, this trip to the north is to help Liu Qian choose a capable father-in-law.

Hearing Liu Xian's remarks, and especially seeing the batch of heavy goods sent by Tu Geren, all of which are unique treasures in the bitter cold place in the north of the Great Wall, Liu Wuhuan was also very moved.Life outside the Great Wall is really hard. Over the years, every winter has been covered with heavy snow and ice, cattle and sheep have fallen to death, and there is too little time suitable for grazing every year, which seriously restricts the development of tribal forces.

The so-called Yellow River has all kinds of harm, and only wealth is one thing. If Liu Changming really intends to manage the inside, the Tiefu tribe will take advantage of the situation to gain a foothold in Henan, which will be of great benefit to the development of the entire tribe.

However, he also remembered how Liu Changming looked down on them when his father was alive in the early years. It is too strange to suddenly change his face and be courteous to others, so Liu Wuhuan was not in a hurry to express his position, but only placed these envoys of Tu Ge in the tribe , Daily hospitality.

Liu Wuhuan could still hold his breath here, but the chiefs under his tent could no longer hold back, among them his younger brother Yan Houtou and others were the most radical, they even sent their wives and daughters into Liu Gan's tent to play for fun , I just want to be able to get it.

The main reason why the Tiefu people can't hold their breath and show such eagerness is that they are afraid of poverty.The frontier is too poor, more than half of the year is full of wind, cold, frost and snow. Large tribes like the Tiefu tribe can also plunder the surrounding small tribes to make a living, and the poor tribes even give birth to children, and they are directly discarded in the wilderness In China, it is really not enough to support too many people.

Even if there are some places with lush water and grass, they are mostly occupied by more powerful leaders, who distribute them to their tribes and get close to them.A few years ago, Liu Wuhuan took over as the leader, and many of his troops were scattered, so he had to submit to his slave, Shi Yiqian, just to preserve his power a little bit.

On the surface, Shi Yijian accepted the submission of the Tiefu people, but soon after that, he placed the Xianbei Baibu and Dugu tribes in Henan, squeezing the living space of the Tiefu tribe step by step. Obviously, he never regarded the Tiefu people as credible. the power of.

Now that the Tu various royal families are heading north, taking the initiative to make friends with the Tiefu people, and even intending to grant them the land of Henan, these captive chieftains can't help but be excited.

　I just found out that there is another leader, thanks to the leader Chengmo 7777 for his love, the reward is smaller than the boss who has been updated and stable, I am really ashamed, there will be a chapter later, there will be more and more in these two days, and it can’t be said Adding more is to chase after the progress that has been delayed year after year
