Chapter 510: Huang Taiji lobbied Temujin
The Xiongnu must also understand the principle of "If you don't kill a tiger, you will be wounded by it."
The Xiongnu were already fighting to the death with the Jin army. If they could not completely eliminate Xianbei this time, they would be facing enemies from both sides in the future.
There are many people within the Xiongnu who support annihilating Xianbei with all their strength first, and then retaking Hetao from the Jin army.
But the Xiongnu had occupied Hetao for many years. This area contained the wealthy women and slaves of the Xiongnu nobles. How could they give up so easily?
Moreover, the benefits gained by the Xiongnu are already great enough, and Xianbei's current strength is no longer a threat to the Xiongnu. After retaining the Hetao, Xianbei can still be eliminated.
So most people advocate preserving the Loop, after all, there are too many people’s interests involved behind it.
Both options have pros and cons. After weighing the pros and cons, Temujin couldn't help but hesitate and hesitated to make a decision.
Just when the retreating faction was about to win, the Wuhuan envoy came to Temujin's camp. This person was Huang Taiji, the son of Nurhaci.
After entering the account, Huang Taiji didn't have any scruples and went straight to the point: "May I ask Shan Yu, do the Huns want to withdraw their troops?"
Temujin did not answer but frowned slightly, looking unhappy. Tuo Lei understood and said displeasedly: "Whether to retreat or not is a matter for my Xiongnu family. You Wuhuan have no right to interfere."
Huang Taiji sighed and shook his head, and said in disappointment: "People often say that Temujin Chanyu is an eagle on the grassland, a great hero who appears only once in a thousand years to the Xiongnu. But when I see him today, it seems that he is not worthy of his name."
"Bold."
Being publicly humiliated by a junior, Temujin remained calm and showed no signs of anger, but the Huns generals couldn't bear it.
In their hearts, no one could humiliate the great Chanyu, so they all clamored to kill Huang Taiji.
Temujin raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said calmly: "Huang Taiji, do you think you are Nurhaci's son, so I don't dare to kill you? Nurhaci is not the only son of you."
The words were full of threats. Huang Taiji was only the eighth son of Nurhachi, and would a powerful man like Nurhachi offend the Huns because of a son?
Temujin thought absolutely not.
Faced with the threat of death, Huang Taiji not only showed no fear, but argued with reason: "May I ask Shan Yu, was it the Xiongnu who dragged Wuhuan into the water and said that Xianbei should be divided equally between the two families?"
"That's right."
Temujin's eyes became colder and colder, and his words contained no emotion at all.
Huang Taiji didn't seem to see it, but asked sternly: "When Wuhuan took office, he died in the battle because he was involved in this muddy water, and now he has fought with Xianbei to death, but the Xiongnu wants to retreat alone at this time. This Where does that leave me, Wuhuan? What does that leave of the alliance at that time? Dare I ask if Shan Yu acted like this as a heroic act?"
"Are you questioning this Shanyu?"
Temujin stared at Huang Taiji. This was the second person besides Qin Hao who dared to talk to him like this, and Huang Taiji looked at Temujin without the slightest fear.
"Isn't that obvious enough?"
The atmosphere at the scene gradually solidified, and all the Xiongnu generals couldn't help but sweat for Huang Taiji.
Did this kid come all this way just to die?
But after a while, Temujin burst out laughing, looked at Huang Taiji with admiration, and said: "What a courage. I originally thought that Wuhuan only had Nurhachi as a capable person, but now there is another Huang Taiji."
Faced with Temujin's adulation, Huang Taiji remained calm and calm, saying calmly: "Chan Yu Miao praised me. There are many talented people in Wuhuan, and Huang Taiji is just the most inconspicuous one."
"Hmph." Temujin snorted and then sneered: "Besides, why did Qiu Liju die? Didn't Nurhachi have any idea?"
A trace of panic flashed in Huang Taiji's eyes and he said, "I don't understand what Shan Yu is talking about."
A trace of contempt flashed in Temujin's eyes, but he did not go into details and continued: "Didn't you just ask me where to place the covenant? Now I will tell you that the only purpose of the covenant is to tear it up. . A truly strong man will never be bound by anything. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
Huang Taiji's eyes were filled with surprise. He never expected that Temujin would completely ignore his personal reputation. What a terrible guy!
"So Shan is determined to withdraw?"
Temujin smiled lightly and said nothing. Seeing this, Huang Taiji cupped his hands and said: "In this case, it is useless to talk more, so I will take my leave first."
After saying this, Huang Taiji ignored everyone and turned around to walk out of the tent. But at this moment, four guards came out and stopped him. Seeing this, Huang Taiji turned to look at Temujin.
Seeing this, Temujin waved his hand and said calmly: "Let him go."
Of course, Temujin would not really leave Huang Taiji. First of all, his temper had not dropped to this low level. Secondly, he did not want to offend Nurhaci so quickly.
The guards all respectfully stepped back after hearing this, and Huang Taiji walked slowly to the gate of the camp, turned around and said meaningfully: "With Xianbei's current strength, even if Xianbei doesn't have the Xiongnu, I, Wuhuan, can still defeat them. I just hope Temujin won’t regret it.”
After saying that, Huang Taiji stopped staying, but Temujin's eyes were full of gloom.
Seeing that Huang Taiji had gone far away, he walked up to Temujin and asked: "Chanyu, when will we withdraw our troops?"
Temujin glared at Dragai and shouted: "What kind of troops should we retreat from? Before Xianbei is completely defeated, what kind of troops should we retreat from?"
"No, you just..."
The drag suddenly became messy, one thing in front of the other and another in front of me, and I couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all.
A trace of fear flashed in Temujin's eyes, and he said solemnly: "Huang Taiji's words woke me up. With Xianbei's current strength, whether it is me, Xiongnu or Wuhuan, it is possible for me to swallow it alone.
Nurhaci is not an ordinary person, and his ability to use troops is not inferior to mine. If I, the Huns, retreat this time, it will give Nurhaci a chance.
If Nurhaci really annexes the remnants of Xianbei, the trouble Wuhuan will bring in the future will be much greater than that of the Jin army. "
Temujin was determined to conquer the world, but the prerequisite for conquering the world was to unify the grasslands, so Wuhuan was his biggest obstacle after defeating Xianbei.
In the campaign against Xianbei, the Xiongnu gained the greatest benefit. Currently, their overall strength is higher than that of Wuhuan. As long as the current results can be thoroughly digested, Temujin is absolutely sure that he can defeat Wuhuan.
But if Wuhuan is allowed to annex the remnants of Xianbei, the strength of the two parties will be basically equal, and the situation of a dominant family will turn into a confrontation between two heroes.
From the perspective of unifying the grasslands, Temujin believed that Nurhachi's threat was greater than that of Qin Wen and Qin Hao, so he would never allow Wuhuan to continue to grow in strength.
