Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1149 Forced to join the group
"What is Chen Zhi's plan? What does he think? He actually called back right away. Do you really want us to go over and humiliate him in Jixian County?"

The news about Jixian County quickly spread across most of the grassland in the running of a few fast horses, whether it was the Tuoba tribe in the west, the Tiefu Xiongnu across the river, or the Rouran headquarters in the barren land of the north. , all have their own words.

Liu Yao, who had only one arm left, sat on a heavy chair decorated with fur, but his brows were furrowed.

Time has left traces on his face, making his skin rough and gray, and the wind and frost in the grassland and desert made his back bend a bit, but none of these can change the brilliance in his eyes.

The successive defeats at the beginning did not defeat the Xiongnu nation, but the political struggle within the Xiongnu finally made him lose the basis for his livelihood, and he had to seek help and refuge from Liu Yi.

At the most intense moment of the battle between Liu Yi and Liu Cong, Liu Cong was already aware of the danger. He saw that Liu Yi's foundation was too shallow and could easily break, so he proposed the idea of ​​going north to integrate some tribes and lead them as soldiers.

This was originally a method of retreating to advance. If Liu Yi's power is still stable and he can still fight with Liu Cong, then after the integration, Liu Yao will lead his people south to support the Xiongnu Great Chanyu.

According to the tradition of the Xiongnu, if you gain an advantage in military strength, your right to speak in power will also increase.

But in the end, Liu Yi's situation collapsed, and he even turned around and asked for help and protection from Liu Yao, wanting to run over to him, the leader of Rouran.

Unfortunately, in the end, it still failed to do so.

After losing the support and foundation of his headquarters, Liu Yao completely let go of his thoughts, integrated Rouran, became Khan, and paid attention to the news in the south, with the intention of sending troops south at any time to seize the Xiongnu's legitimacy.

But what awaited in the end was the battle report of the collapse of the Huns.

For a moment, he had mixed feelings.

Liu Yao has always harbored hatred for Chen Zhi and regarded him as an old rival. But now it seems that there is a gap between himself and this old rival.

"What did the Tuoba Department say?"

After sighing with emotion, Liu Yao still wanted to think of a countermeasure.

"The people of Tuoba Sixth Cultivator still hope that the Great Khan can go south and find a pasture to have a talk," his men reported truthfully. "Their intention is very clear. Since the Murong tribe is in chaos, many of the pastures they occupy If you are worried, Khan, you can choose a pasture, have soldiers and horses from both sides, fight together, and then talk on the spot."

"He, Tuoba Sixth Cultivation, has good intentions. I heard that this person was in danger some time ago and almost lost his life. Now he is still alive. Isn't it a lie?" Liu Yao showed a sarcastic look, "I also worked with him back then. He has met several times. This person is a very arrogant person. If he had encountered the conditions proposed by Chen in the past, he would have led his men to kill him without saying a word. He would have refused to obey. Now he is willing to Negotiation means compromise."

He pointed to the sand table in front of him.

"Meet me for a meeting and choose Murong's pasture. It is close to the south and east and close to Jixian County of Youzhou. The meaning is very clear. It is finally agreed that if we don't dare to fight against Youzhou, then we can just go south together to Jixian County."

When several of his men heard this, they all looked sad and said, "The people from the Tuoba tribe may have some conspiracy, or have they made an agreement with Youzhou in advance?"

"There's no need to worry about this," Liu Yao shook his head with a serious expression, "Just look at his military tactics in Youzhou. If he really wants to attack me, why would he need to join forces with the Tuoba tribe?" All the deployers heard some meaning from these words, and they all Asked: "What does the Great Khan mean?"

"Go! Of course I want to go!" Liu Yao stood up, "If you don't go, you will become blind and deaf. When you go south this time, whether you go to Jixian or not, you can know that Monan and the northern part of the Central Plains, What is the situation? Besides..."

His voice was much lower, with a hint of regret: "I also want to know where the scattered Xiongnu survivors are now and what happened to them."

After hearing this sigh, many deployments also fell silent.

At this time, Rouran was divided into two factions, especially the upper echelons. One was the locals, and the other was the Xiongnu nobles who followed Liu Yao. When they heard this, these Xiongnu subordinates were certainly filled with emotion.

Due to time constraints, Chen Zhi didn't leave much time for them. Previously, out of instinct and fear, none of the leaders of the grassland tribes came forward. Instead, they all chose to send envoys. Now the envoys have been beaten back, leaving only There was not much time left for the leaders, so of course they did not dare to delay.

After all, no one dares to bet that the Xuanjia Army will not come.

In fact, Murong Bu had previously felt that the Xuanjia Army fought on two fronts, destroying the Xiongnu while regaining Pingzhou, which must have consumed a huge amount of money, and they would not start the war lightly again. As a result, Murong Xin proved this with himself. The guess is wrong.

The lessons learned from the past are clearly visible, how can other leaders dare to look down upon them again?
So, a few days later, the leaders of several major tribes - mainly Rouran, Tuoba, and Tiefu - met in a pasture on the edge of Murong's power.

Just as Tuoba Liuxiu suggested, this time the three families sent troops together to wipe out a small tribe entrenched here, and then settled down.

That small tribe originally belonged to the Murong family, and was regarded as a subordinate, and even had a certain blood relationship with the Murong family, but now the Murong tribe is in chaos, and the newly appointed Murong Han is not called Shanyu, but Donghu School Lieutenant, and focused on gathering forces and strengthening control, so the subordinate tribes on the periphery were freed and no one cared about them.

They all stole the original Murong tribe's land and wanted to use it as a foundation for development.

But this small department is unlucky. Because it is located far away from Thorn City, it thought it was a safe place. Unexpectedly, it was valued by the three major departments and became cannon fodder.

After driving away the original owner and agreeing on a time, the three families were not in a hurry to meet. Instead, they each consolidated their troops and guarded against each other.

It was at noon on the second day that the leaders of the three families actually came out.

They built a shed in the middle of the three armies, put the animal skins on it, and then came forward individually.

Tuoba Liuxiu, Liu Yao, and Liu Hu, as the three giants, sat at the innermost place, and there were other scattered leaders of small tribes, as additional heads, sitting around the outside.

There are many people, but the three people inside can really make the decision. Their decision will affect the direction of the entire grassland.

But on the other hand, the commotion caused by the three families mobilizing troops and horses in this way could not be hidden from Youzhou's intelligence department, so when I recalled that day, there were several Xuanjia scouts probing around and did not hide their traces.
