Farmer of Shu Han

"A happy event? Where's the surprise?"

The visitor happily replied loudly:

"The fourth young clan leader met Master Wu Luhui on the way. Master Dou is leading his tribe to merge with us."

When Tuoba Liwei heard this, he was suddenly surprised and happy:

"really?"

Then he turned to the black-clad deacon with some disbelief, "If so, that's really a big surprise!"

The deacon in black, who had always had a dead face, also showed a rare change of appearance:

"Indeed."

But after all, he is a figure hiding in darkness, and he is never afraid to speculate on others with the greatest malice.

Soon he discovered an obvious doubt:

"Lord Dou Bin is leading his troops here? At this time, the ice and snow have not melted, and the journey is not easy. Even if Lord Dou Bin is anxious to merge the clans, he should be riding lightly. How can he lead his troops?"

Besides, the one who is anxious about merging clans should be his own side, not the Wuluhui tribe.

And even if the situation is difficult for deer-free deer after the beginning of spring, it should be enough to sustain them until the weather warms up.

Instead of getting up in a hurry when the snow has not yet melted, without even giving advance notice.

"Did something happen to the Luhui tribe?" Tuoba Liwei guessed, "That's why Mr. Dou Bin couldn't even wait for the snow to melt, so he led his tribe here."

Speaking of this, Tuoba Liwei and the black-clothed deacon looked at each other and thought of one thing: "Han Kingdom!?"

On today's grasslands, if Tuoba Xianbei is the largest force, then the second largest force is probably the Wuluhui tribe.

It makes Lord Dou Bin so anxious to lead his tribe to merge the clans. Except for the Han Kingdom on the grassland, there is no second thought.

The black-clothed deacon played the role of a think tank as always, but he thought for a moment:

"We are allies with Hebei. Now that Han soldiers are invading Hebei, Feng Wen's cunning will definitely not turn a blind eye to us."

"Therefore, it is necessary to find ways to take action on the grassland to contain us and prevent us from fully supporting Hebei."

Tuoba Liwei heard the words and nodded in agreement:

"As the deacon said, Feng Wenshen is cunning and cunning, and is known for his foresight. This move is indeed in line with this person's character."

As he said that, he looked at the black-clothed deacon again, "So in the deacon's opinion, the Mu Lu Hui Department is implicated?"

The black-clothed deacon shook his head and smiled calmly:

"How could Ke Han think so? Why did Xianbei in the west have any grudge against Feng Wen, who ended up being separated as a race? What grudge does Kebineng have against Feng Wen, who ended up with the fate of his own race being destroyed?"

"Even if the Luhui tribe has nothing to do with this matter, it is still standing between us and the Han Dynasty. With Feng Wenshen's personality, it is just a normal thing for him to destroy it easily."

"Not to mention that we and the Wuluhui tribe are related by marriage. If God Feng Wen wants to attack us, how can he let the Wuluhui tribe go?"

After a pause, the black-clothed deacon emphasized his tone, "It can even be said that as long as the Han Dynasty wants to take action against our Suo Head, they will definitely take action against the Wu Luhui Department first."

Who put Wuluhui tribe right between Han and Tuoba Xianbei?

Tuoba Li nodded slightly in agreement and said:

"What the deacon said makes sense. So according to what the deacon sees, should I go to greet him?"

The black-clothed deacon said without hesitation:

"Master Dou Bin is so poor that he came to join us. He must be uneasy. If Ke Han can go to greet him in person and treat him with courtesy, I think Dou Bin will be grateful and have no other intentions."

Tuoba Li laughed slightly:

"Good! What the deacon said is exactly what I have in mind."

Having made up his mind, Tuoba Liwei no longer hesitated and immediately ordered people to get ready. He wanted to go in person to greet Lord Dou Bin who was coming.

But before he could set out, Tuoba Luguan had already returned to his clan to report back to Tuoba Liwei:

"My dear, my lord."

People feel refreshed when happy events occur.

As soon as Tuoba Liwei saw Tuoba Luguan, he stepped forward to help his son up and said with a smile:

"My son's trip this time can be said to have made a great contribution."

Tuoba Luguan quickly replied humbly:

"I don't dare to take credit. Master Dou Bin actually had the intention of merging clans for a long time. I met Master Dou Bin halfway, and after talking with him, I realized his true intention."

"My child knew that such an important matter could not be delayed, so he rushed back without stopping to report to the Lord."

"Okay, okay! Very good!" Tuoba Li patted Tuoba Luguan on the shoulder several times to show his satisfaction, "Where is Mr. Dou Bin? Didn't he come with you?"

"Back to my lord, my lord, my lord, I also invited my lord Dou Bin. But my lord Dou Bin said that this time he brought all the clan members here, and he had to watch them in person before I felt relieved, so he just asked my darling to come back first. Inform your lord."

After hearing this, Tuoba Liwei finally couldn't help but ask:

"Lord Dou Bin, are you really leading all your subordinates here?"

Tuoba Luguan nodded:

"That's true. I heard that the Han Dynasty sent people to persuade the deer to go back to the north of Pingcheng to graze before winter."

"But Master Dou Bin was worried about being controlled by others and was frightened by the lustful power of the Han State. He did not dare to categorically refuse and offend the Han State. Therefore, he took advantage of the fact that it was not easy for the people to migrate in winter, so he delayed it."

"Now that the snow is about to melt, Master Dou Bin is worried that the Han will come to persecute us again, so he is anxious to lead his people away and come to us."

Hearing this, Tuoba Li glanced subconsciously at the black-clothed deacon who was standing in the tent but remained silent.

Although the two of them were talking, everything was in their sight:

Sure enough, all this was done by the Han State.

And it is almost certain that the actions of the Han State before the beginning of winter last year were obviously preparations for the battle in Hebei in advance.

Fortunately, there are also experts on my side!

Tuoba Liwei couldn't help but feel lucky.

Fortunately, he sent reinforcements to Hebei in advance.

"Young clan leader, from what I heard, the Molu Hui tribe has always had exchanges with the Han State, and the relationship is not too bad."

There are not many loopholes in what Tuoba Luguan said, after all, he just talked about it roughly.

The more general things are, the more vague they can be.

But the black-clothed steward still asked a question:

"Why did Lord Dou Bin not only reject the invitation of the Han State, but also was so anxious to move the tribe, have you heard Lord Dou Bin tell the reason?"

The worry about the coercion of the Han State can be explained, but it is somewhat incredible that just a few words from the Han State can force such a large tribe as the Molu Hui tribe to flee in panic.

Seeing the black-robed butler speaking, Tuoba Luguan's heart subconsciously tightened.

He knew that the black-robed butler who had always been following the adults like a shadow was the smartest person in Tuoba Xianbei.

It is said that it was because of the black-robed butler's planning that the adults were able to seize the position of the leader of the Suotou, leave Beichuan, and work hard to make the Suotou the prosperous it is today.

Tuoba Luguan lowered his head and used Tuoba Liwei's tall body to cover his expression:

"Lord Dou Bin did mention it briefly. He said that trading with the Han Kingdom was to provide food and clothing for the tribe. But if they really agreed to the Han Kingdom and went to Pingcheng, I'm afraid the tribe would have to become slaves and maids. There would be no more Molu Hui tribe on the grassland!"

"The Molu Hui tribe often traded with the Han Kingdom, so they heard a lot of rumors about the Han Kingdom. I heard that Pingcheng was the fief of Feng Yong, the Grand Marshal of the Han Kingdom. Feng Yong was cruel and inhumane. He liked to eat human flesh and drink human blood."

"Besides, this person has been capturing people as slaves and maids for a long time, regardless of the north or the south. I don't know how many people have been harmed by him. If the Molu Hui tribe really went to Feng Yong's fief, how could it be saved?"

This was originally a lie made up by Tuoba Luguan to gain the trust of Tuoba Liwei and the black-clothed steward.

But he didn't expect that it actually touched the heart of the black-clothed steward.

In order to strengthen Tuoba Liwei's determination to fight against the Han Dynasty, this person repeatedly mentioned Feng's bad deeds in front of Tuoba Liwei - many of which were exaggerated.

Now, hearing Tuoba Luguan's retelling of Dou Bin's words, coupled with Dou Bin's surrender, it virtually confirmed his past words.

The black-robed deacon rarely showed an expression of approval and cast a look of approval at Tuoba Luguan.

Unfortunately, Tuoba Luguan did not even look up at him, wasting his expression in vain.

"Kehan, what the young clan leader said is very true! Lord Dou Bin has been in charge of the Moluhui tribe for a long time, and he often trades with the Han Kingdom. Isn't his knowledge false? Can it be mutually confirmed with what I said in the past?"

"I have never doubted a word of the steward." Tuoba Liwei looked firm, "Lord Dou Bin led his people to move eastward, which shows the urgency of the Han Kingdom."

"With the Moluhui tribe as a buffer, the Han Kingdom is afraid that the next step will be to attack us, so the current task is to take over the Moluhui tribe as soon as possible, and strengthen the tribe to try to stop the Han Kingdom."

"Kehan ​​is wise!"

Tuoba Liwei looked at his son again:

"Luguan, you have worked hard on this trip, go down and rest first."

Tuoba Luguan was relieved and hurriedly left.

——

The next day, Tuoba Liwei issued Kehan's order, asking the leaders of the Tuoba Xianbei tribes to prepare to welcome the Moluhui tribe.

After all, the Meiluhui tribe has a hundred thousand people, and it is impossible to support it with just one Suotou.

Especially at this time when spring is about to come.

But relatively speaking, as long as they survive this period and the Meiluhui tribe is completely incorporated into Tuoba Xianbei, the strength of Tuoba Xianbei will be equivalent to expanding by one third.

At that time, they will take Liaodong as a habitat, so why worry about not being as prosperous as when Lord Tan Shihuai was alive?

After learning that Tuoba Liwei went west to meet Lord Dou Bin in person, Tuoba Luguan quietly came to Kehan’s tent again, found his mother Dou, and asked a question:

"Mother, if my grandfather had a conflict with you, what would you do?"

Dou was not young anymore, but she and Tuoba Liwei were still a young wife and an old husband.

When she married Tuoba Liwei, Tuoba Liwei could be her father.

But it was obvious that Tuoba Liwei still loved her as a young wife, otherwise Dou would not have given birth to so many sons.

Dou was obviously unprepared for the question her son suddenly asked. She was obviously stunned, and then said strangely:

"Why do you say that? Your grandfather and your master have been friends for decades. How could there be a conflict?"

"Not to mention that your grandfather came with his clansmen to merge with the clans? How could there be a conflict with your master?"

Merge with the clans!

Tuoba Luguan knew that the joint army of the Han army and the Moluhui tribe was less than thirty miles away.

It's almost like extermination!

As my grandfather said, with the current situation of Tuoba Xianbei, since the Han army went out of the border, it was destined to be exterminated. Even the gods could not stop it.

The matter was urgent, and my grandfather didn't have much time left for me.

At this time, there were only mother and son in the tent. Tuoba Luguan did not care about keeping secrets at this time. He just saw him kneeling at Dou's knees:

"My mother doesn't know. I actually deceived you about merging clans. My grandfather came here this time, accompanied by tens of thousands of Han troops. He didn't come here to merge clans at all, but to destroy the Tuoba clan!"

"What!" When Mrs. Dou heard this, she was so shocked that she was at a loss, her face turned pale, and she exclaimed, "Guan Lu, this matter is related to the life and death of the tribe, don't use it as a joke!"

"Mom, do you think I'm joking?" The expression on Tuoba Luguan's face became increasingly bitter, "In addition to my grandfather, my eldest brother is also here."

"What did you say?" Mrs. Dou this time grabbed the fourth son's arm fiercely, "My eldest son is there too? Are you serious? Is he, is he okay?"

His second son and his eldest son competed for the inheritance rights of the clan. In the end, the whereabouts of the eldest son were unknown, and his life and death were unknown.

Mrs. Dou couldn't say anything about this kind of thing, and her second son had Tuoba Liwei's tacit approval, but the palms and backs of his hands were all flesh, so Mrs. Dou had no other choice but to cry secretly.

When she got the news about her eldest son, she couldn't help but feel surprised and happy.

Tuoba Luguan stood up, ran to the tent door and took a look to make sure no one was eavesdropping. Then he came back and whispered:

"The eldest brother fled to the Han Kingdom. This time the Han army came, and it was he who led the way."

"Eldest? Why are you so confused?" When Dou heard this, he stamped his feet and said, "Inviting foreign enemies to come, isn't he just opening the door to welcome thieves? If powerful enemies are involved in the tribe's internal affairs, the tribe will be destroyed. In his hands!"

"Mom, it's not just my eldest brother's business now. Even if my eldest brother doesn't do this, my grandfather and two uncles will do the same thing. The Tuoba family can't escape this trouble!"

"So, wouldn't it be extremely dangerous for your Lord to go on this trip? No, I have to remind him!"

Dou and Tuoba Liwei have been married for decades. As soon as they heard that Tuoba Liwei was in danger, they had to leave.

When Tuoba Luguan saw it, he quickly stepped forward and hugged Ms. Dou, preventing her from walking out of the tent. At the same time, he begged in panic:

"Mom, think twice! The Tuoba family is dead. If my mother goes away, not only will she be in danger, but her children and nephews will also be buried with her!"

When Mrs. Dou heard what Tuoba Luguan said, she couldn't help being shocked and angry:

"Why did Si'er say this? You let your master go to die, you are no different from an animal. At this time, you actually want to stop me from saving your master? Let me go!"

"My mother only cares about your safety, has she forgotten her own origin?"

Tuoba Luguan hugged Mrs. Dou tightly and did not dare to let go, for fear that Mrs. Dou would suddenly run out of the tent:

"My grandfather personally led all the warriors of the Wuluhui tribe here, which shows that I will never stop fighting with Suo Tou. Regardless of the final outcome of the conflict between the two clans, I will express my anger on my mother."

"Even if your Excellency cares about the old friendship, how can the deacon and other ministers give up? How can you convince the public if you don't give them an explanation?"

Tuoba Luguan stated his interests and concerns, and elaborated on Dou Bin's threat, and finally said with tears:

"Mom, the Han people are powerful, and the Tuoba clan is bound to die this time. The sooner we surrender, the more people we can save."

"Today, the lives of my children and several nephews are in the hands of my mother. I hope my mother will have mercy on me!"

The grassland is the tribe's biggest barrier.

The tribe was born here, grew up here, and died here, and is familiar with everything about the grassland.

As long as the Han army who is not familiar with the grassland dares to go deep into the grassland, even if the tribe does not take action and avoids fighting, even if it is just delayed, the Han army can be dragged to death.

But the premise is that the tribe is not found by the main force of the Han army.

When they really meet, the two go head-to-head. Most of the time, the tribe suffers.

Tuoba Xianbei encountered exactly this situation.

But at this time, the snow had not yet melted, and there was no place to escape.

Genocide is really not just talk.

On one side is his father, brother, son, grandson and other relatives, and on the other side is his Alang.

Under Tuoba Luguan's cry, Dou's psychological balance soon tilted.
