Luo Longsheng listened without batting an eye. Obviously, this thrilling history made him deeply involved. From the words of the black robe, he seemed to be able to travel through time and see the thrilling **** storm ten years ago. Well, it wasn't until he finished listening to this paragraph that he heaved a sigh of relief and murmured: "I have long heard that this Yujiulu Shelun is not only brave but also very wise. Looking at it this way, he is really wise. A man with many tricks up his sleeve."

The black robe said coldly: "Yes, many of the hatreds and killings on the grassland are due to debts repaid by fathers and sons. Only by eradicating the roots and wiping out all the sons can we avoid the revenge of the descendants. Pi Houba will kill himself The disciples were dispersed into various small tribes, just to disperse this branch of their own. Even if the main tribe was gone, these son tribes would have their revenge one day. However, this move gave Shelun a hard-to-capture and indulgent approach. Once he was cracked, he became a powerful force in the north and south of the desert, and it was less than ten years since he was beaten by the Northern Wei Dynasty and fled alone to Pihouba."

Luo Longsheng sighed: "The changes in strength and weakness on the grassland are too fast. Tuoba Si himself went into the grassland alone. In less than fifteen years, he was able to create a Northern Wei Empire. This Shelun looks like, It’s not any worse than Tuoba Si, but if this happens, the head-on conflict between Rouran and the Northern Wei Dynasty will no longer be inevitable, Shelun has a blood feud with the Northern Wei Dynasty to exterminate their clan and kill their uncles.”

The black robe nodded: "Yes, Pi Houba is a person who was conquered by force from the Northern Wei Dynasty. Ever since he beat his nephew to surrender, he no longer dares to show any disrespect to the Northern Wei Dynasty. Every year, he pays thousands of tributes to the Northern Wei Dynasty." A good horse and a large number of cattle and sheep. The reason why the Northern Wei Dynasty had 400,000 cavalry to defeat Hou Yan and take control of the Central Plains was because Rouran from Mobei made a great contribution."

"When Shelun attacked Pihouba, the Northern Wei Dynasty once got the news and wanted to send troops to rescue him, but it was too late. Pihouba's head was already hanging on the top of the Jingguan Tower on the edge of the North Sea. Only a few of his sons escaped from the rebellion, and when they came back and encountered the Northern Wei troops, they were able to save their lives."

Luo Longsheng laughed: "Then these sons must want to use the soldiers and horses of the Northern Wei Dynasty to take revenge and attack Shelun. Is there a big battle between the two sides later?"

The black robe shook his head: "No, the Northern Wei Dynasty sent Babasong to lead the troops to rescue him, but he was not very familiar with the terrain. When he arrived at the battlefield, Shelun had already run away and took away the Pihouba tribe. The cattle, sheep, and food supplies of the Wei army were all gone, and they could only return to the army. They were unable to pursue Shelun anymore, so they took their sons, Qiba, and Wu Jie with them, and returned to the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty. The personal general and marquis titles allow them to live in Pingcheng, and that’s all.”

Luo Longsheng curled up his lips: "Didn't these sons go back to the grassland to gather their old troops to continue fighting with Rouran?"

The black robe laughed: "Tuoba Si himself returned to the grassland alone and became the overlord of one party. With the precedent of Shelun's rise, how could he repeat this mistake again? If people like Qiba really If you have the ability, if you can defeat Shelun after returning to the grassland and become the overlord of one side, you will replace Shelun and become the great enemy of the Northern Wei Dynasty. If you cannot defeat Shelun, you will be killed after returning to the grassland, which will only make the people of the grassland despise the Northern Wei Dynasty even more. No matter what the outcome is, Tuoba Si is not what he wants. Staying in Pingcheng to raise him, and then having the opportunity to let the Northern Wei Dynasty send troops to kill Shelun is the most correct approach."

Luo Longsheng smiled slightly: "But Mobei is thousands of miles away from the Great Wall. It's not easy to go there. And if Shelun runs away again, it will be difficult to find. But I know that before Tuoba Si attacked Houyan, he spent many years He used troops against Mobei, and after capturing Houyan and taking control of the Central Plains, his main troops and energy were not focused on the Central Plains. He still continued to send troops to the grasslands to attack tribes that did not surrender to him. After all, he I came to dominate the Central Plains from the grasslands, so I am very wary of the reappearance of a powerful force on the grasslands that is the enemy of the Northern Wei Dynasty."

The black robe nodded: "Yes, Rouran is such a powerful enemy. After Shelun killed Pihouba, he became the master of Rouran. On one side, he fled westward, avoiding the attack of the Northern Wei army. On the other hand, Shelun On the other hand, the tribes loyal to the Northern Wei Dynasty in Wuyuan County across the entire Monan and Hetao grasslands were attacked by him. Even the Pingcheng line was under emergency martial law. At that time, the Northern Wei army was deploying troops in various parts of the Central Plains to expand. Ba Si's main force was still fighting against Yao Xing's Chaibi of the Later Qin Dynasty. For a while, he was unable to send troops to attack Rouran. He could only sit back and watch Shelun plunder a large number of tribesmen, cattle and sheep. After defeating dozens of tribes, he swaggered across the border. Crossed the desert and went to Mobei."

"During the few years in Mobei, UUkanshuwww.uukanshu.net relied on the Northern Wei Dynasty to further civil strife. Daowu Emperor Tuoba Si became mentally ill in his later years and committed excessive killings. Domestic rebellions continued, people were panicked, and they were even less able to send troops to expedition to Mobei. Taking this opportunity from Rouran, Shelun launched a massive crusade and attack on the fierce and powerful Dingling, Tiele, and Gaoche tribes scattered throughout Mobei. One of the strongest opponents was Chief Ba Yeji of the remaining Xiongnu tribe. The ancient tribe of Ba Ye is the most powerful tribe in Mobei in recent years. It also conquered many small tribes through expeditions from east to west. The two strong men met and a great battle broke out. In the end, Shelun had the last laugh and killed the great chief of Ba Yeji. , swallow up all his tribesmen."

"By the time Tuoba Si came to the throne, the Rouran tribe had unified Mobei and became a great khanate, extending to Korea in the east, the Yanqi Kingdom in the Western Regions in the west, Hanhai in the north, and the desert in the south, except for Monan. Outside the earth, there is almost the same territory as when the Xiongnu was at its peak, and it has also become a powerful enemy of the Northern Wei Dynasty."

"Shelun has become quite proficient in the art of war during many years of campaigning, and has also carried out military reforms based on the unique military system on the grassland. Each tribe has a thousand people to form an army, one general, one hundred people to build buildings, and one person to lead the buildings. During battle, Those who obey orders and act first will be captured, while those who retreat will be punished after the war and stoned to death. If the body of the deceased in battle is recaptured by a comrade, the comrade can return to inherit his family business and marry his deceased wife. "

Luo Longsheng laughed: "The prairie barbarians have always been undisciplined. They swarmed up when they advanced and dispersed when they were defeated. Therefore, they couldn't fight against the wind. But the military law established by Shelun can greatly change it." These grassland warriors are unorganized and undisciplined. Not to mention the outcome of the fight against the Northern Wei Dynasty, with these military laws and military systems, it can be said that there is no disadvantage in defeating those grassland tribes. However, Shelun is still extremely happy and sad, and the Northern Wei Dynasty is not Although he would sit back and watch Rouran become powerful, after Tuoba Si came to the throne, he still led an army to conquer Rouran himself."
