Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2391 Helian Lijin, Tuoba Jianshuo, the War with the Northern Barbarians Begins
The Golden Horde's desire to re-establish the dynasty was indeed a significant matter for all the forces in the Central Plains.

However, at this time, none of the various forces in the Central Plains could spare any attention for them.

Therefore, while everyone was paying attention, they also largely let it go.

After all, even if people don't want to accept this situation, there's not much they can do.

Moreover, there were more than one Northern Di tribe that wanted to establish a dynasty at the same time, including the Tuoba tribe, which announced the news right after the Golden Horde.

These two companies have always been fierce rivals, neither willing to fall behind the other.

Temujin was absolutely grateful to Tuoba Changping for the opportunity and time he initially had to develop. Without Tuoba Changping holding him back, he would never have been able to develop to this extent.

The Golden Horde was determined to restore its former glory.

The Tuoba tribe, on the other hand, was determined to surpass the Golden Horde and become the second steppe empire capable of unifying the Northern Di.

In April of the seventh year of the Yuan Shi era of the Great Han Dynasty, almost on the same day, Helian Xuan and Tuoba Changping, the two most powerful forces among the Northern Di, jointly established a dynasty and ascended the throne as emperors.

Helian, the King of the Golden Horde, re-established the Great Jin Dynasty, while Tuoba Changping established the state of Shuo.

In fact, after hearing the news that the Golden Horde and the Tuoba tribe were going to establish a kingdom and declare themselves emperors, the remaining families on the grasslands had considered this idea as well.

However, although Temujin has now truly risen to power, controlling both the grasslands and the Central Plains, even though he is still far from being as powerful as the Golden Horde, he can still establish a kingdom without much trouble, given that all the other powers are preoccupied with their own problems.

After all, the smallest of the Western Rong kingdoms next to Temujin's only had a few cities, so this kind of thing was really nothing special.

Among the Northern Di, it only holds special significance because the predecessor of the previous Golden Horde had accomplished the great feat of unifying the Northern Di.

However, on the advice of his strategist Liu Zihe, Temujin ultimately abandoned the idea for the time being.

After all, having already seized nearly 40% of the original Murong remnants' territory, he had attracted enough attention during this period, so there was no need for him to join in the fun and divert other people's attention to himself.

For Temujin at this time, the most important thing was to digest the gains from annexing the remnants of the Murong tribe and completely transform them into his own strength.

After all, although they had made great gains before, they also had the regret of becoming too rich overnight, and they still needed to settle down for a while.

As for the two northern barbarians on the far east side, they were typical examples of insufficient strength, even though these two had finally joined forces to annex the third one.

However, nearly 30% of Subon's inheritance did not fall into the hands of these two families, but rather into the hands of the Tuoba tribe, which had been supporting the Subon tribe.

Therefore, although it's said that the two tribes annexed the third, in reality, all three tribes shared the spoils. Moreover, the Tuoba tribe didn't expend as much effort as they did. Secondly, the constant turmoil of previous years had weakened them considerably. Although they had recuperated for about two years after dividing the Suborian tribe, which improved their condition significantly compared to two years prior, they still hadn't returned to their peak state.

Therefore, even if they were envious, they wouldn't join in the fun at this time.

For the Han Dynasty, however, the biggest impact on them was not the establishment of their own kingdoms and their declarations of imperial power, but rather that on almost the same day that Tuoba Changping declared himself emperor, the Tuoba tribe's army launched a massive invasion of the Luandi tribe's grasslands, achieving a resounding victory in their first battle.

Choosing to launch a major war on such a special day as the founding of the nation and the establishment of the emperor is something that most people would never have thought of.

But it is precisely because of enough surprises that one can achieve sufficient results by taking advantage of the unexpected.

Secondly, prior to this, it was Nurhaci, the easternmost leader of the Northern Barbarians, who had been making moves there, even sending out small-scale troops to constantly provoke and probe, as if he were about to launch a large-scale attack once he was certain of the situation.

Under these circumstances, the Luan Di tribe would naturally focus their defenses on Nurhaci. While they wouldn't ignore the Tuoba tribe to the west, it was inevitable that some of their forces would move eastward.

Besides that, in this battle, Tuoba Changping not only did not use Tuoba Zongzheng, the towering white jade pillar of the Tuoba tribe, but he also did not use Tuoba Kui, who had been making a name for himself in recent years.

Tuoba Changping chose Tuoba Tao, who was implanted as his son, to be the commander-in-chief of this battle, and appointed Nadirsha, who had just begun to show his talent, as his deputy.

In addition, the generals and officers below him were not established figures like Tuoba Longxiang, but rather newly established figures like Jin Jing and Yuan Xingqin, and even included Gongsun Shu, who was from the Central Plains, and his son Gongsun Yang.

Famous and fierce generals from the Tuoba tribe, such as Tuoba Zongzheng, Tuoba Tao, and Tuoba Longxiang, were all gathered in the royal court, exposed to everyone's sight. Choosing to appoint these relatively less noticeable generals was itself a way to deceive others.

Furthermore, at such a crucial time as Tuoba Changping establishing his state and declaring himself emperor, it was normal for some generals and troops to be mobilized.

Ultimately, with a combination of factors, Tuoba Changping successfully outmaneuvered the unsuspecting and achieved a resounding victory in his first battle.

The specifics of the extremely intense cramping were something that all the surrounding forces, including Wang Yu, wanted to find out.

However, the Luan Di tribe itself must be extremely vigilant about this matter. Apart from a very few individuals, even Luan Di Ji Lie's own son is now unable to enter the main tent of Luan Di Ji Lie.

Under such tight security, how could it be so easy to find out?

However, the fact that the Luan Di tribe guarded against this matter so closely for several months already provides an answer.

The cramps were extremely intense at this moment. If his body wasn't in such poor condition, how could he possibly be in this state?
Therefore, Tuoba Changping's establishment of a state and his declaration of himself as emperor were both a political balancing act when the Golden Horde was about to establish a state and declare itself emperor, and also an opportunity to divert attention from all sides and create opportunities for his own military actions.

The Northern Barbarian lands are now a powder keg; once the first shot is fired, it means that the powder keg will officially explode.
