My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 169 The war is about to begin
"Brother Su is so talented, I really can't hide this from you."

Luo Han also felt a little embarrassed when he heard Su Shuang explain the predicament he was facing in just a few words.

"It's okay. The leader is carrying a heavy responsibility, so he must be reserved. If I were the leader, I would do the same!"

However, Su Shuang waved his hands repeatedly, not caring at all.

"The Jiuyuan Pavilion is just a frontier fortress. Lu Yi's fortress is nothing but an egg against a rock for the Xianbei warriors under the chief. As long as the chief can help me avenge this, Su Shuang will follow the chief's lead in the future!"

As Su Shuang spoke, he actually bowed deeply to Luo Han.

"Oh my. Brother Su, why do you have to do this?" Luo Han also hurried forward to help Su Shuang up.

"Brother Su, rest assured. Your business is my business, and your enemies are my enemies. This time, I will help you to eliminate Lu Yi and avenge you!"

"However, sending troops to enter the pass is a major event. Even I cannot make this decision lightly. The specific time still needs to be decided by my eldest brother Budugen. Brother Su, please wait patiently for a few days."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!"

Su Shuang immediately spoke sensibly after hearing this.

"Sending troops is a major event for the Xianbei people. How can it be interfered with by the petty affairs of villains? It is reasonable to wait!"

But as Su Shuang was speaking, his tone suddenly changed.

"I can wait, but I'm afraid my forces in Han territory can't. If time drags on too long, I'm afraid that even if the leader gets rid of Lu Yi, our horse smuggling business will have to start from scratch!"

"Oh! In that case, I will immediately send someone to report the matter to my brother for a decision."

Luo Han fell into the trap as expected, and his face immediately changed color when he heard the words.

If they had to start from scratch, they would not be able to carry out the horse smuggling trade for at least several years, which would be a huge loss for the Xianbei people, especially Luo Hanyi.

Be it the current grassland overlords, the Xianbei people, or the previous grassland overlords, the Xiongnu people, essentially, they are unable to support themselves.

They are the wolves of the grassland.

Without sheep to hunt, they would starve to death within a few years.

And to them, the Han people are their sheep.

Without the Han Dynasty, the Xianbei people would not be able to maintain their current size and strength.

But the big man, although wealthy for them, has a sheepdog that is no weaker than a wolf.

If the Xianbei people's wolves were not careful, not only would they fail to catch the sheep, but many of them would also be bitten to death by the sheepdogs.

Therefore, since they were unable to completely defeat the Han Dynasty, they were particularly dependent on trade.

Although the Han Dynasty's top leaders were corrupt, there were some wise men who advised the emperor to interrupt trade with the Xianbei people.

It was a blow to the Xianbei people's weak spot.

Without legal trade, the illegal horse smuggling trade became the top priority.

Therefore, after hearing this, Luo Han also made up his mind to do his best to make this happen.

……

Half a month later, good news came.

Budugen had already consulted Tan Shihuai and received permission to attack.

Not only Budugen's Western Xianbei, but the Central and Eastern Xianbei also received orders from the Xianbei Chanyu Tan Shihuai to attack the Great Wall together before the end of the year and plunder Bingzhou, Youzhou and even Jizhou, Qingzhou, Hebei and other places.

Luo Han was also overjoyed when he got the news.

He immediately conveyed Tan Shihuai's order to the leaders of his tribes, ordering them to prepare for battle immediately. And why did the leaders of the tribes need Luo Hanyi to supervise them?
Even the Hutuo tribe, which is a large tribe, has been reduced to using despicable means to attack its own people in order to obtain survival resources. Other medium and small tribes are even worse.

Therefore, as soon as Luo Hanyi's order came, they rubbed their hands and immediately made full preparations for the battle. As long as Luo Hanyi gave the order, they would go into battle, men, women, old and young, and follow Luo Hanyi to attack the Great Wall and loot the Han people.

The grain that the Han people sowed and harvested with great effort will become their food for the winter.

The fair and tender Han women will become their playthings and be humiliated by them.

The Han men and children will be abducted by them and become their slaves for generations to come, enslaved by them forever and unable to rise up!
With huge interests at stake, all Xianbei people will make full preparations without the need for urging from the Xianbei leaders.

In a race war, no one is innocent and no one can remain immune.

There are only so many resources, so much land, so much food and supplies. It's either you die or I die, there is no possibility of any compromise.

On the other side, Luo Han also told Su Shuang the good news.

"That's great!" Su Shuang almost jumped up with excitement after receiving the news.

He himself was a businessman who made his fortune by smuggling horses in violation of the imperial ban.

Now my heart is filled with hatred again.

Naturally, they put their own hatred above national hatred and no longer care about the lives of their compatriots.

He is just a smuggler. If he really had a loyal heart, he would not have made his business so big and so successful.

A few days later, Su Shuang was received by Luo Hanyi again.

When Su Shuang arrived at Luo Hanyi's tent, he found that in addition to Luo Hanyi, there was another old acquaintance.

Hutto, the patriarch of the Hutto tribe.

"Brother Su, what I promised you last time has been settled!"

During the period leading up to the looting, conflicts between the tribes were greatly reduced.

No one wanted to come into conflict with other tribes at this critical juncture, so they all chose to maintain their strength and keep the peace.

After all, compared with these poor neighbors of the same ethnic group, it is more profitable to rob the Han people.

Therefore, Luo Han's stress has been greatly reduced in the past few days, and his mood has improved a lot.

"In ten days, we Xianbei people will march south. The first step is to defeat the Southern Xiongnu royal court, and then we will attack the Great Wall and plunder the Han territory. As long as the Great Wall is broken and a hole is opened, our Xianbei army will be able to pour into the Han territory continuously."

"And that Lü Yi of Jiuyuan will surely be turned into dust in front of our Xianbei cavalry. Then, Brother Su, your great vengeance will be avenged!"

Luo Han also said to Su Shuang with a smile.

It was as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

And the facts are just as he said.

Since the unification of the Han Dynasty, the Xianbei have invaded Han territory every year, plundering countless people as if they were in an empty land.

The Huns had already been defeated by them and were even more destitute.

"This man is the chief of the Hutuo tribe. You should have known him for a long time. This time when we went south to the pass, Jiuyuan County was assigned to Hutuo by my eldest brother. I have already taken care of him and issued a military order to wipe out Lu Yi to avenge Brother Su. General Hutuo will avenge Brother Su!"

"Brother Su, you are very familiar with the Han territory and the Lü Yi, so just follow the Hutuo tribe!"
