My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 263: Han and Xiongnu are one family
"Who do you think you are?"

"Are you qualified to order me here?"

Lu Yi also needed to show some respect to Zuo Xian Wang. After all, he was not only the leader of the alliance, but also the second-in-command of the Xiongnu.

However, seeing that the chief of the small and weak tribe in front of him also wanted to share his cake, why should he be tolerant?
Although Lu Yi has not yet received an official appointment from the court, he is the second most important person after Zuo Xian Wang based on his strength.

Although the two thousand armored heavy cavalry under his command are outnumbered by the ten thousand light cavalry of Zuo Xian Wang's army, if they were to engage in a head-on battle, there is still a high probability that Lu Yi would win.

Not to mention that Lu Yi also has an equal number of auxiliary troops, which is also a force that cannot be underestimated.

The grasslands have always respected violence and the strong.

According to Lu Yi's current strength, he is already considered a overlord on the grassland.

If Lu Yi had not joined the resistance alliance before, he would have been considered an outsider.

If the patriarch of this small tribe is bullied too much, he can still raise the banner of the alliance and call on everyone to fight against Lu Yi together.

But now, as the deputy leader of the alliance, Lu Yi is far superior to others in both strength and status.

Therefore, even though Lu Yi spoke so impolitely, he did not show any emotion at all.

Except for the chief of the small tribe who was the first to start the trouble and turned pale with shock and anger.

The other princes all looked as if it had nothing to do with them, and dared not to defend the patriarch of that small tribe and bring trouble upon themselves at this juncture.

The distribution of spoils has always been the most critical voice on the grassland, and the strong have always dominated the distribution.

Although Lu Yi suffered a disadvantage in the first battle, his fighting ability is real.

Didn’t you see that the Haye tribe, a large tribe with thousands of soldiers, fled when they saw Lu Yi when they saw the situation was not good?
This is the most intuitive proof of Lu Yi’s combat effectiveness.

"you……"

The young clan leader was shocked and angry, pointing at Lu Yi, unable to advance or retreat.

"What do you mean by you? I am the deputy leader of the alliance, and you are just a pawn of the alliance. How dare you not address me as the deputy leader by a respectful title? You deserve to be punished!"

Lu Yi said this and waved his hand.

Hou Cheng and Song Xian behind him immediately stepped forward and grabbed the arms of the chief of the Na tribe, one on the left and one on the right, and controlled him firmly.

Wei Xu, who followed, walked up to him excitedly and slapped him left and right, making the chief of the small tribe scream.

"Mr. Deputy Alliance Leader, I have no intention of offending you. Please forgive me!"

The small tribe leader's mouth was swollen and bleeding from the beating and he begged for mercy repeatedly, but Lu Yi had a stern expression and said nothing, just glanced coldly at everyone.

Except for Zuo Xian Wang, all the princes present bowed their heads respectfully, not daring to show the slightest disrespect at this juncture.

Although Zuo Xian Wang looked displeased, he just stood by and watched, and did not interfere with Lu Yi's behavior of teaching the small tribe leader a lesson.

Although there was a rift between him and Lu Yi, they were still on the same front when it came to maintaining the alliance's system.

Although Lu Yi is now teaching the young clan leader a lesson, he is also protecting his position as the leader of the alliance as Zuo Xian Wang.

If the deputy leader can act like this, then he, as the leader, naturally has more power and authority.

What Lu Yi said just now is very true.

As the leader of the alliance, he had not yet issued any orders, but the chief of this small tribe jumped out impatiently, obviously showing contempt for him as the leader of the alliance.

Even if Lu Yi didn't deal with him, Zuo Xian Wang would have to deal with him in order to maintain his authority.

The chief of that small tribe is at least the leader of a clan and a member of the princes of Mo Nan.

Now being beaten and humiliated in public by Lu Yi was already embarrassing.

Now it seems that Lu Yi is fighting with a killing intent and no mercy at all.

The mental humiliation and physical pain made the cruelty in his bones burst out. He stopped begging for mercy and started cursing at Lu Yi.

"Lü Yi!"

"You are just a deputy leader, how can you have the right to humiliate me like this?"

"Stop it now!"

As soon as he said this, the scene was shocked again.

"Hmph, you're quite brave. Change the scabbard and slap the mouth!"

Lu Yi sneered, ignored the idiot's shouting, and gave new orders to Hou Cheng and the other two.

"promise!"

Hou Cheng, Song Xian and Wei Xu were already furious when they saw that this man dared to speak like that about their eldest brother. Now after receiving Lu Yi's order, they became even more rude.

The hard scabbard knocked out half of the man's good teeth in just a few hits.

Seeing that he couldn't stop Lu Yi, he turned to the alliance leader Zuo Xian Wang and cried loudly.

"Master, no matter how wrong I am, I am still the chieftain of the Xiongnu tribe. As an ally nominated by us, are you going to sit back and watch this Han Chinese come to our Xiongnu territory and humiliate our chieftain?"

Unexpectedly, Zuo Xian Wang looked grim when he heard this. Not only did he not step forward to help him, but he kicked him hard and sent him flying. He couldn't get up for a long time.

"Bastard!"

"What Han people, what Xiongnu people!"

"The Han Dynasty is the common ruler of the Xiongnu. Even the Chanyu had to be conferred an imperial title by the Han emperor. How dare you, a dog, say such treasonous words in front of me?"

"You are really looking for death!"

Originally, it was just a personal grudge between the patriarch of this small tribe and Lu Yi.

But this idiot has now elevated this matter to the level of the difference between the Han and the Huns.

In this era where the Han Dynasty is the orthodox and highest political correctness, his words are tantamount to stirring up a hornet's nest in the big tent.

Even though King Zuo Xian was originally prepared to say a few good words for him and let the matter go.

At worst, we can give him more compensation when distributing the spoils in the future.

Although the tribal chief lost some face, he was still able to keep his dignity.

But now this person is seeking death, and he can't save him.

Not only can it not be guaranteed.

He also wanted to go up and kick a few times.

You have to kick hard and kick angrily.

Only in this way, when this matter is reported to the Han Dynasty in the future, the Han court will continue to support me for the sake of my maintenance of Han-Xiongnu orthodoxy, and only then will it be possible for me to be supported to become the Great Khan of the Southern Xiongnu.

"Haha, this person actually said such treasonous words in public. This cannot be offset by a few kicks or slaps."

"I wonder how the leader of the alliance plans to deal with this person?"

"I will also decide whether to report this matter to the court based on the leader's decision."

Seeing this, Lu Yi became interested. He leaned against a weapon rack in the big tent, folded his arms, and looked at Zuo Xian Wang with interest, waiting for his next performance.

This matter could be big or small. It all depends on Lu Yi's decision.

Although Lu Yi said that he had no power to decide whether the court would eventually allow Zuo Xian Wang to become the Great Chanyu.

However, if he intentionally caused trouble and misinterpreted the situation, he could certainly prevent the Zuo Xian King from becoming the Great Chanyu.

Anyway, there are many tribes on the grassland, and there are definitely many ambitious people.

All the Han Dynasty wanted was an obedient puppet Chanyu. As for who it would be and whether it was the Zuo Xian Wang, it didn't matter much.

no way.

In this era.

The Han Dynasty was in the midst of internal turmoil.

But a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and all the surrounding Hu people were defeated by the Han Dynasty.

Even the divided and fragmented princes of the Han Dynasty could easily defeat the Hu people on their own.

Not to mention the overlords of the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, even Gongsun Du, who had been hanging in Liaodong for decades and seemed to have no sense of existence, and was later defeated by Sima Yi in a battle, was also an overlord in the entire Northeast Asia. He punched Wuhuan and kicked Goguryeo, and was a well-known King of the Northeast.

Therefore, for King Zuo Xian, defeating Jiang Qu was only the first step.

If he wanted to truly sit on the throne of the Great Khan of the Xiongnu, the second and most critical step was to gain the support and recognition of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, he would never allow any stain of disobedience to the Han Dynasty to appear on himself, even a stain.

He couldn't afford to gamble, and he didn't dare to gamble.

Thinking of this, when Zuo Xian Wang looked at the tribal chief who was lying on the ground miserably with a bloody face, his face was filled with uncontrollable murderous intent.

"How dare this person openly say something so outrageous as to distinguish between the Han and the Xiongnu. As the leader of the alliance, I, the Left Wise King appointed by the Han Dynasty, cannot sit idly by."

"Lord Zuo Xian Wang, I am loyal to you, you must not listen to the instigation of this Han Chinese!"

The unfortunate fellow wanted to defend himself at first, but when he saw Zuo Xian Wang's expression, he felt that something was wrong. He no longer cared about the pain in his body and the mental humiliation, and rushed forward to hug Zuo Xian Wang's thighs, crying and begging like a dead dog.

"Drag this man out and behead him in public as a warning to others!"

However, Zuo Xian Wang had a frosty look on his face, which made people shudder, and he was not moved at all.

"I don't accept it! I didn't die on the battlefield, but died at the hands of my own butchers because of the Han people!"

"Zuo Xian Wang, you are the king of the Xiongnu, but you are biased towards this Han Chinese. It really makes us feel disappointed!"

"Those clan leaders who watched the Han people oppress the Xiongnu people and stood by and watched, you will be the next me. In the future, the Xiongnu will surely perish at the hands of the Han people!"

This man became completely unconcerned when facing death. Even when he was dragged away by several guards, he did not forget to roar at everyone in the tent.

The atmosphere in the account became even more depressing.

The Huns sitting here are all clan leaders. To become clan leaders in the fiercely competitive and cruel environment of the grassland, they may not necessarily be very brave, but at least they have to have some brains.

Naturally, I understood that what this person said was true.

However, the situation was stronger than the people. Although the Han Dynasty was now weak, the Xiongnu was even weaker and was almost destroyed.

Even though they knew that this man was concerned about the Huns and that what he said was from the bottom of his heart, for the sake of their own wealth and glory, they could only pretend to be deaf and dumb and turn a deaf ear to him. Some of them even went forward in frustration and beat him, cursing and shouting as they beat him, venting their fear.

“Haha, it turns out that one cannot underestimate the people of the world. Although this Hu tribe leader is greedy for money, he still has some vision, and what he said is all true and insightful.”

Lu Yi sneered repeatedly on his face. He suddenly thought of the history when the Han people were in decline and faced powerful foreign invaders, which was often the same as the situation in this big tent.

The weak Song Dynasty was blocked at its doorstep by the Jin people, but it did not even think of revenge or counterattack. Instead, it increased tribute and money and wanted to sell out the country for survival. The mentality of its top leaders was probably the same as that of everyone in this account.

"This person is arrogant and must have gone mad. Except for him, all of us are Hu people, but like the deputy leader, we are all loyal subjects of the Han Dynasty. We will never allow anyone to challenge the authority of the Han Dynasty. I wonder if the deputy leader is satisfied with this decision?"

"The leader has handled the matter impartially, which I admire. If I return to the Han Dynasty tomorrow, I will report the leader's good deeds today to the court truthfully. I believe that the court will certainly take into account the leader's loyalty and make some gesture."

Lu Yi chuckled, and he experienced the treatment that the Eight-Nation Alliance received during the Qing Dynasty.

Everyone, including Zuo Xian Wang, felt relieved when they heard this.

They had already offended Jiang Qu so much that now they could only hold on to the big man's thighs even tighter.

Just at this moment, a miserable scream was heard from outside the tent.

The head of the young patriarch who had been shouting earlier was brought in by a ferocious-looking guard and thrown into the big tent with a plop.

However, Lu Yi was not prepared to let it go, and instead started to blackmail openly.

"But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped!"

"This person offended the majesty of heaven. His death is over, but it does not mean his guilt has been absolved."

"He insulted the Han people in public. Even if I, the deputy leader, am generous enough not to bother with him, the thousands of brave warriors under my command will never forgive him."

"Oh? Then how can the deputy leader help his soldiers to vent their anger?"

Zuo Xian Wang asked with a somewhat grim look on his face.

"It's simple. Since this person is dead, his sins must be paid for by his tribe."

"As long as the leader of the alliance compensates me with this man's tribe, I will definitely calm my men down."

"And they will work even harder when they fight under the leader in the future!"

Lu Yi said this lightly, which made Zuo Xian Wang even more angry.

It's not that he hadn't thought about wiping out Lu Yi and his soldiers here to prevent future troubles.

However, it is easier to invite a god than to send him away. The combat effectiveness of the army under Lu Yi's command is obvious to all, and it is definitely not something that his current 20,000 to 30,000 light cavalry can completely swallow up. If he cannot simply leave Lu Yi and others in the desert, even if only one or two people escape, he is not willing to bear such consequences.

Therefore, although he was very dissatisfied with Lu Yi in his heart, he could only accept it with a pinch of his nose.

"What the deputy leader said is very true. Since this person has offended the deputy leader, his tribe should be punished by the deputy leader."

"In this case, it would be disrespectful for me to refuse."

Hearing this, Lu Yi finally smiled again.

"Master, you are wise!"

"I suspect that this person is a spy secretly hidden in our alliance by Jiang Qu, with the purpose of dividing our alliance."

"Now that the spy is dead, our alliance is united again. This is a cause for celebration and we should have a big celebration!"

The chiefs of other tribes also praised the emperor one after another. There was no sense of sadness at all, but instead a sense of relief.

……

a few days later.

Just when the alliance was still immersed in "harmony".

There was a burning rage in Jiang Qu's tent.
