At this point, Ye Li Qiji's tone suddenly stopped. Looking at Tuoba Jiqian, his tone was unusually cold and said: "Even if you have murderous intentions in your heart. The knife has been inserted into someone else's chest, and you still have to wear a knife on your face. Smiling. I heard that the King of England was a smiling tiger. He killed many people in Zhengzhou without losing the smile on his face. You have to learn this."
"This is not called self-restraint, but letting your opponent lower all their defenses in front of you, so that it is easier for you to take action. Although the King of England is just a doll in front of you and me, many things are worth it. Let's study hard. The blood of the party members is imprinted in your bones. So you don't lack courage and talent, but in terms of skill and scheming, you are still far behind."
"Today, you did something wrong. In your living room, not counting my father-in-law, the heads and clan chiefs of several other major tribes were also present. But you failed to control your Emotions, blindly using tough methods can easily arouse the dissatisfaction of those clan leaders. Remember, both soft and hard. Sometimes being more roundabout will help you better grasp the overall situation. "
Looking at Tuoba Jiqian who was humbly accepting the teachings in front of him, Yeli Qiji sighed secretly in his heart. My sons are brave, but their brains are far less flexible than this son-in-law, and their skills are even more lacking. They are far different from this son-in-law. At most, he has the talent of a general and the resources of a middle-aged man. In order to bring glory to Noribu, I can only place my hopes on this son-in-law.
The Yeli Department is indeed one of the best among Ningxia Dangxiang. There was a time when the Pingxia tribe was no more prosperous than the Pingxia tribe. But in recent years, the talent among the tribe has been declining. Just relying on his sons alone would not be able to change Noribe's increasingly poor and weak situation. Although my son-in-law is far less skillful than those Han Chinese with evil intentions, he is still one of the best among the Dangxiang people.
This person is even more ambitious, and his ferocity is no less than that of the wolves on the Hetao Plain. Right now, not only the Heika tribe needs such an alpha wolf, but also the Nori tribe. I had taken the initiative to propose an engagement to him, hoping that one day he could develop and grow like Noribe. But looking at it now, the blessings and disasters of his original decision for Noribe are still unknown.
Having said so much, I know that what I have said is enough. There were some things that, as a son-in-law, he would have thought clearly about. Yeli Qiji stood up and left the back hall. It's just that this old fox left Tuoba and moved here, returned to his tribe's army, and attracted his own henchmen. Let him return to Yelibu's station immediately, and let the tribesmen immediately retreat to Baitinghai to take shelter.
Before this confidant left, Yelibei confessed to him again and again, and when he returned, he told him to stay with Yelibe's youngest son. The sooner you evacuate, the better, and don't be reluctant to leave your belongings at home. As long as the tribe still exists, those things will come back sooner or later. When you arrive, don't care how the situation changes here. As long as you don't receive a personal letter from yourself, don't leave Baitinghai.
I have stored enough food there for the whole clan to eat for a year. Moreover, the waters of Baiting Sea are rich in grass and grass, and there are only a few Khitan tribes around. Even if they go there, they won't be hungry, and it's enough to keep them safe. If I and my brothers couldn’t go back this time. From now on, he will become the clan leader, and he will lead his clan members to stay in Baitinghai to graze and farm, and will never return to Ningxia Mansion.
After his confidant left, Yeli Qiji shook his head slightly. It's not that he doesn't trust Tuoba Jiqian, it's that he really can't trust the safety of tens of thousands of members of his clan to him alone. Ye Liqiji even had a vague feeling in his heart that this time the imperial court sent this British king who was solely responsible for countering the rebellion. Judging from his series of actions after arriving at Longyou, I am afraid that he was definitely not an ordinary person.
If the imperial court sent someone else to suppress the rebellion, it might not be enough evidence for his son-in-law. But it was the King of England who was sent, and his son-in-law may have met the strongest opponent in his life. If it had been anyone else, after capturing Tuoba Jiqian's younger brother, at least before the outcome was decided, Tuoba Jiacai would have been raised first. So that if the rebellion fails, it can be converted into appeasement.
After the British king arrived, he not only led the team to fight in person. The first thing he did after arriving in Huanzhou was to kill Tuoba Ji'ai, the brother of the rebel leader. And the way of killing is the cruelest method of death by a thousand cuts. Tuoba Ji'ai, who was regarded as a pile of minced meat and bones, was carried back in a large frame by the few people who were released from the Zuluo tribe.
Even I, a well-informed person, was shocked by the scene in front of me. Although he didn't say it with his mouth, he knew it in his heart. The British king resorted to such brutal methods because the government troops were in the midst of a campaign and had no intention of appeasing them at all. What he understood better was that the imperial court could afford to lose in this battle, but the party members could not afford to lose.
The court lost this battle. For a court that was as big as a behemoth, it was not a serious injury at all. It didn't even take a few months for the imperial court to make a comeback immediately. And if the Dangxiang people lose, what awaits the Dangxiang people is the annihilation of their race. As an old fox, how could he not know that Tuoba's plan to move forward was the most suitable for the party members at the moment.
They all retreated to Helan Mountain, and life may have been a little harder. But even if this battle is lost, the roots of the party members can still be preserved. And as long as there are roots, the party members still have a chance to make a comeback. But after the battle in Huanzhou, Yeli Qiji discovered that at the beginning of the uprising, there were internal disputes, but at least on the surface the various parties were united, but there were deeper cracks within the party.
Many tribes, even small tribes, are no longer so afraid of Tuoba's continued migration. The people's hearts, which were already a little uneven due to lack of food, are now even more unstable. In a word, the morale of the army was lost and the team was a little difficult to lead. Therefore, he fully supported fighting in Ningxia Mansion and showed his determination to break with the imperial court, which could at least win over people's hearts.
But as the leader of the largest tribe in the party, he could not put the life and death of Yelibu on one person. The cunning rabbit has three burrows, which is what an old fox like him should do. As for retreating to Helan Mountain, although he thought it was a way, he did not think it was a good retreat. With so many party tribes retreating to the sparsely populated Helan Mountains, it will only become more difficult.
Helan Mountain is high and steep, and it is indeed a good place to temporarily avoid the sharp edges of the army. But it was a vast area with few people and lots of tigers and leopards. There is a desert to the west and north, with nothing but vast forests and groups of tigers and leopards. In winter, it is even more unbearably cold. Today's Dangxiang people still retain their nomadic customs to some extent. But Nomad has long been just wandering around the door of his home.
The number of cattle and sheep grazing is far less than it was more than a hundred years ago. The days of living after water and grass have long been far away from the daily life of Dangxiang people. Raising cattle and sheep has already adopted more Han Chinese methods. Even the Dangxiang tribe in remote areas has long been accustomed to living in warmer houses, and the life inside the felt curtain has also long been far away from the Dangxiang people.
The stomachs of the Dangxiang people have long been accustomed to Han people's food, and they can no longer adapt to mutton and goat milk. So many tribesmen, as well as so many old, weak, women and children, retreated there at the same time without making any preparations in advance. There is no food, no house, and not even much wool felt curtains for temporary shelter. Maybe they won't be able to survive this winter.
Even if food is sown, it will take time to harvest. The wild beggars did not object to the strong walls and the clearing of the wilderness, and all the party members retreated to Helan Mountain. Relying on the steep Helan Mountain, they fought flexibly with the imperial court. But what he opposed was this unprepared retreat into the Helan Mountains. In the eyes of the more cunning Yeli beggars, this is tantamount to seeking death.
Now that autumn is approaching, a more cruel winter is just around the corner. By then, there will be no food, grass or winter clothes. Although sheepskin can keep out the cold, the number of sheep of the Dangxiang people is limited now. Even if they are all killed, they will not be able to satisfy one fur coat per person. If they were to retreat into the cold Helan Mountains without any preparation, it would probably not take even one winter, and not even half of the clan members would be able to get out of the Helan Mountains.
Faced with this current predicament, even if Tuoba Jiqian was his son-in-law, he had to consider Noribu's future. At first, I thought that this son-in-law had a royal aura about him, and his abilities and skills were worthy of being called a hero. He is definitely not someone who has been under others for a long time. Sooner or later, he will rise up one day and become the pride of the party members. He can even lead the party members to get rid of the oppression of the imperial court.
It is precisely with this view that I have spared no effort to fully support and support him over the years. She also betrothed to him her own daughter, who was known as the most beautiful woman in the party, knowing that he was already married. But no matter how great the family ties are, they are only a drop in the bucket in the face of tribal interests. Yeli Qiji can support Tuoba Jiqian's rebellion, or he can give him all kinds of support.
Because he also hopes to get rid of the imperial court's oppression of the Dangxiang people, and also hopes that the Dangxiang people can have the same status as the Han people, or at least the same status. But one thing is that he will never take his entire tribe to bury his son-in-law with him. So while other tribes were bringing their families and families to seek refuge with Tuoba, his father-in-law was much more cautious and only brought seven thousand young men with him.
And left his tribe at the intersection of Qingshui River and Yellow River. There is abundant water and fertile land, which is not only suitable for farming but also for nomadic herding. It was precisely because of that place that his Yeli tribe became the largest tribe in Ningxia. At that time, he was reluctant to give up the land that had raised Noribu, and he also planned to leave a way out for himself.
Standing up, feeling a little bored, Yeli Qiji walked to the window and pushed it open. But just when he opened the window, a sharp arrow suddenly flew straight towards him, and went straight into his open mouth, which was about to shout something. As the sharp arrow penetrated into his mouth, it came out from the back of his head. The leader of the largest tribe of Dangxiang people died quietly.
The death of Ye Qiji became a fire that completely ignited the party members. Although other tribes also felt sad that the rabbit died and the fox died, the real anger was the seven thousand young men who followed the wild and powerful Qiji to Lingzhou. After receiving the news, Tuoba Jiqian, who hurried over, looked very calm when he saw the erect body of his father-in-law. He just ordered Ye Li's people to collect the body first.
As for his uncle, he was staring at Ye Li Jirong, the next clan leader of his Ye Li subordinates, with a pair of scarlet eyes. Tuoba Jiqian didn't say anything, but just said to his uncle: "My father-in-law is not the one who did it. I am not that stupid, and I am still killing each other at this time. Not to mention, I will need it in the future. I rely on my father-in-law a lot."
