Luo Longsheng nodded: "I heard that most of the tribesmen of the Rouran Western Khanate who surrendered went south and were resettled in the Yunzhong area for the Northern Wei Dynasty, while a small number of them fled to Pihouba, who were from the north. The old land was occupied by Pihouba, and of course, many of them were occupied by other tribes. From then on, Xi Rouran was constantly conquered and oppressed by the Northern Wei Dynasty, and their life was miserable."

The black robe said in a deep voice: "Because in the process of development and growth, Rouran followed the powerful tribes of Mobei such as Hedu and Hulu, and the troops of the Northern Wei Dynasty or Dai State mostly used their troops to the south. If you rarely come to Mobei, even if you come, you won't always be stationed here, so you give Rouran room to survive. She nominally surrenders to the Dai Kingdom, but at the same time, she also surrenders and pays tribute to the enemies of the Dai Kingdom, such as Liu Weichen and Liu Kuren, and even The relationship with the Yan Kingdom is also extraordinary. This was not a problem in the period before Tuoba Si, because the previous Dai Kingdom leaders only wanted to go south and did not set their sights on Mobei. But after Tuoba Si Then everything changed.”

Luo Longsheng said thoughtfully: "Because Tuoba Si has been a hostage in the Central Plains for many years, he is familiar with the internal affairs of the Central Plains, especially knowing that Murong Chui's Hou Yan is powerful, especially the Ju armored cavalry, which is not what Dai's prairie cavalry can do. In a head-on confrontation, if he wanted to fight against these armored cavalry, he had to take advantage of the prairie cavalry's high mobility and large number of horses, which were far more numerous than the Central Plains cavalry. Therefore, he set his sights on Mobei, the area near Niuchuan after the founding of the People's Republic of China. In ten years, he did not join the melee in the Central Plains, but eliminated Liu Weichen, the Helan Tribe, the Hetu Neighbor Tribe and other powerful enemies on the grasslands, and of course, Rouran."

The black robe laughed: "You know these things very well. It seems that you are also very knowledgeable about the situation on the grassland. This is a bit unexpected to me."

Luo Longsheng said calmly: "Rouran is a powerful khanate on the grassland after all. I still need to understand its basic situation. Maybe one day, we will need to use the power of this grassland to achieve great things, so I am in Yongzhou When I was a general, I paid great attention to collecting information about these distant grasslands. Even if it didn't work, I could also find ways to go to the grasslands to buy some high-quality horses, which would allow me to establish a cavalry unit in Yongzhou. After all, I am a cavalry general."

The black robe nodded and continued: "It seems that many of the hundreds of horses in your army came from the grassland. Could it be that they were taken from the Rouran tribe?"

Luo Longsheng smiled slightly: "Yes, I went through a big twist. I found merchants from Guanzhong, crossed the Huxia Hetao, and paid Helian Bobo a lot of money for the road, and then I went to Rouran and bought a horse. The middle one Many of the best horses were retained by Hu Xia and Hou Qin, but I finally got some, so I have mastered all kinds of information along the way."

"After Rouran surrendered to the Northern Wei Dynasty, soon after, Manhute's son and successor Khan Hoduo Khan defected again and ran to the west. The Northern Wei Dynasty sent General Baba Fei to personally lead the army to pursue them, all the way to Banna in Shangjun Mountain, thousands of miles due north of the Hetao, almost drove out the troops of Hodo Khan. Only the nephews of Hodo Khan, Yujiulu Shelun and Yujiulu Hulu, escaped. They did not dare to flee westward, but turned back. We went to the northeast to seek refuge with our great uncle Pi Houba who had personally handed them over to the Northern Wei Dynasty."

Luo Longsheng said this in one breath, his mouth was a little dry, but his interest was still high. The black robe handed him a leather bag. He unbuttoned the bag, poured himself a big sip of wine, and wiped the wine on his mouth with satisfaction. Didi, smiled and said: "Good wine, really enjoyable."

The black robe said calmly: "You go on, I also want to hear what details I don't know."

Luo Longsheng continued: "This horse Houba took in the Shelun brothers. Maybe he felt guilty for betraying these relatives after the defeat. Maybe he saw that the Shelun brothers were so brave that they could escape from the pursuit of the Northern Wei Dynasty. He died, and now he has grown into a brave grassland hero, who will help himself to conquer the grassland in the future, so Pihouba placed the two brothers more than 500 miles south of the Beihai Khan Court, and also sent four of his own The sons commanded the tribes respectively and came to monitor the Shelun brothers."

"It's just that the Shelun brothers are becoming more and more famous on the grassland. After all, they are the first people to survive the attacks of the Northern Wei Dynasty and escape with their lives over the years. Even in many legends on the grassland, They killed many famous generals and warriors of the Northern Wei Dynasty before breaking out of the tight siege. This caused many grassland enemies whose tribes were destroyed by the Northern Wei Dynasty and had deep hatred to come to join the Shelun brothers. In just one or two years, they became fugitives. A weak force with only a few dozen people when they came to surrender has turned into a powerful force with tens of thousands of households and more than 30,000 cavalry."

"During this period of time, the Shelun brothers have also been helping Pihouba in his conquests in the east and west, and UU Reading www.uukanshu.net to attack Pihouba's enemies. After the victory, they did not want slaves, property, or cattle. All the sheep were given to Pihouba, saying that this great-uncle had saved their lives, and everything they got was given by his great-uncle, and they were fulfilling their obligations by fighting without asking for anything in return."

"Originally, Pihouba and his son were on guard against the Shelun brothers, but as a result, they made themselves embarrassed. But they didn't know that in these battles, Shelun seemed to have nothing, but he got the most important thing on the grassland. The same thing."

The black robe laughed: "Yes, such a thing is reputation. The Shelun brothers are brave in fighting, capable of defeating powerful enemies, and they know how to repay their kindness and do not take trophies. On the grassland where strength is the key and the danger is precarious, there are many iron-blooded warriors, but People who can speak moral principles and protect their subordinates are rare. Shelun wins more and more battles, and more and more people come to him. In fact, his strength increases faster than what he can normally get after a victory. The rewards are much greater. Soon, the strength of Brother Shelun’s tribe surpassed that of Pihouba’s headquarters.”

Luo Longsheng continued: "Yes, that's the case, but the four sons of Houba who were monitoring the Shelun brothers also wanted to compete with each other for the throne and expand their own strength. Shelun saw through them Because of his thoughts, he often assigned some old and weak tribesmen who came to him to go to the tribe of the four sons to gain their hearts. As a result, the four people became competing with each other, and instead competed to please the Shelun brothers, and even Help Shelun hide Shelun's strength from his father, Khan Pihouba."

"Finally, in the early years of Yixi, Shelun, after several years of preparation, launched a surprise attack on the tribe of Pihouba and his sons, and killed Pihouba and his sons in one fell swoop. Became Rouran Khan." (End of this chapter)
