Due to Tuoba Sixth Cultivator's kind invitation, or rather kind interception, Yu Wenxun Niyan and others had to stay in the tent of Daibei Tuoba Sixth Cultivator that day.
As a landowner, Tuoba Liuxiu brought out the best wine and delicacies to entertain these distinguished guests.
Yu Wenxun and Ni Yan couldn't help but frown when they saw Tuoba Sixth Cultivator's attentiveness. The two of them had been friends for generations, and they had never seen Tuoba Sixth Cultivator entertain him so kindly.
He knew that all this was directed at the 'Wu Sanlang' from Jizhou.
Wu Jun, who was originally interested in pursuing the business of buying and selling Hulu heads, soon became brothers with Tuoba Liuxiu while drinking and having fun.
Both of them were happy people, and they had quickly discussed the matter of buying and selling Hulu.
"General Tuoba, our Majesty's order states that the Huru required to be captured must be a Huru who was a bandit in Jizhou!" Wu Jun said.
"Brother Wu, don't worry. These Lu Shuihu are all vassals of the Huns. Somehow, they ran to Julu County in Zhongshan and were killed by your Jizhou soldiers. They were not captured from Hexi at all. !" Tuoba Liuxiu promised, patting his chest.
"Well, that's the best!"
"By the way, General Tuoba, I wonder how many of these Hulu you can sell at that time?" Wu Jun asked.
He wanted to take more Hulu if Tuoba Sixth Cultivator had more. The clan members who followed him to serve as officials have been living in Pingyuan County and living in peace, but they have not gained much credit. Pass.
When Tuoba Liuxiu heard this, he drank down the bowl of wine in his hand, touched his mouth, stretched out three fingers, and said loudly.
"I wonder if three thousand is enough?"
"Three thousand?"
Hearing this number, Wu Jun almost lost his hold on the wine bowl in his hand and was shocked.
He originally thought that the Tuoba Sixth Cultivator had three to five hundred Hulu, which was the most. If he selected more Huru who were willing to sell, he would probably only have a hundred or ten people.
In this case, you can also get a lot of credit.
However, the 'three thousand' mentioned by Tuoba Liuxiu really shocked Wu Jun.
Wu Jun quickly calculated. If calculated based on his current rank, all the heads of these three thousand barbarians would be on his head. I am afraid that the position of 'Nine Ministers' would be within his reach.
Such a great achievement, even if it is divided among many people, will definitely cause a big disturbance.
After all, although everyone knew about the business of buying and selling Hulu heads, they were all done secretly.
This purchase of "three thousand heads of Hulu" cannot be guaranteed under any circumstances. Once the emperor investigates, he doesn't know how big the crime will be.
"Why, isn't three thousand not enough?" Tuoba Liuxiu said immediately after seeing Wu Jun's expression.
"If it's not enough, I can get some more. Five thousand is always about the same!"
After hearing Tuoba Liuxiu's words, Wu Jun secretly complained in his heart.
I never said anything was not enough, but too much, which was too annoying.
"Well, General Tuoba, this number is enough, enough! However, these are not small amounts. I think it is better to try with a smaller amount first. After all, it is a long distance from Daibei to Zhongshan County." Wu Jun said.
"Then how much do you want first?" Tuoba Liuxiu asked.
"Otherwise, let's do a hundred first!"
Wu Jun thought, he and the other people, one hundred Hulu would be enough, but he wouldn't want any more.
After hearing Wu Jun's words, Tuoba Liuxiu also nodded and expressed his acceptance.
In fact, the number of three thousand mentioned by Tuoba Sixth Cultivator is simply an exaggeration. Tuoba Xianbei captured a lot of Lu Shuihu prisoners this time, but these prisoners were all assigned by Master Tuoba to those who had just meritorious service. Although there were quite a few in the hands of Tuoba Sixth Cultivator, there were definitely not three thousand in the hands of the tribal leaders, only about one thousand.
Among these thousand, excluding women and slaves who can be driven, only one or two hundred people can be sold.
As a result, both buyers and sellers reached a surprisingly unanimous consensus.
After drinking the wine happily, Tuoba Liuxiu called out some of his treasured Hexi orchids and sang and danced for Yuwen, Wu Jun and others. By the time everyone was drinking to their heart's content, it was already getting dark. .
Yu Wenxun, Ni Yan, Wu Jun, and Wang Chang each went to rest in the tent with the support of the two Hu Ji.
As soon as they left, Tuoba Liuxiu, who was very drunk, suddenly stood up, without any trace of the drunken and unconscious look he had just now.
He took a few steps to the outside of the tent, where several of his close men were already waiting outside.
Tuoba Liuxiu asked one of his subordinates.
"How about it, have you seen what's in those big cars of Xunniyan?"
The subordinate immediately came forward with his body hunched over.
"Master, the slave has already investigated everything."
"What is it?"
It turned out that after Tuoba Liuxiu saw the large cars behind Yu Wenshi, he already felt that the things in the cars were unusual, so he arranged for his servants to quietly investigate.
"Master, the long ones among those carts are all spears and spears, and the shorter ones are swords. The little slave has already looked at them, but they are all fine steel-edged weapons. They are full of several large carts. They must be almost there. Thousands of them!"
"Thousands of weapons?"
Tuoba Liuxiu frowned. This was not because he was worried about Yu Wenxun Niyan and others plotting against him. Even if there were weapons, Yuwenxun Niyan had too few people to use them.
It's because, since the Great Rebellion in the Central Plains and business travel has been almost cut off, copper and iron items on the grasslands have been in short supply, and many damaged weapons cannot even be restored to their original state. This has led to the equipment of some tribes becoming increasingly inferior. So bad that the tribes in the Hanhai area have returned to the era of using bones and stones as arrowheads.
"This must be given to the Yuwen Department from the Qingzhou Han Kingdom!" Tuoba Sixth Cultivator quickly made a guess.
"Master, it's not just that. The slave also saw that there should be armor hidden in the cart that was guarded most closely by several liang!"
"Armor?"
Hearing this word, Tuoba Liuxiu's eyes lit up.
Among the Xianbei tribes today, if there are weapons such as swords, guns, arrows, etc., some iron craftsmen can still make some useful ones. However, this armor alone requires a serious waste of financial resources and manpower. For these poor Xianbei tribe, it is basically impossible to make it by themselves.
"Is there really armor?" Tuoba Liuxiu's breathing became a little rapid.
"It's absolutely true, the carts at the front are all full of them! The little slave hid on the side, secretly tested them, and heard the conversation of those people from the Yuwen Department. They were all filled with iron armor and leather armor!"
Tuoba Liuxiu confirmed it again and finally believed it.
"I didn't expect it. This Xun Niyan, no wonder he wants to leave quickly. It turns out he wants to bring so many treasures back!"
Tuoba Liuxiu sneered.
According to his guess, Yu Wenxun Niyan brought only a few thousand weapons this time, and almost a hundred pairs of armors.
One hundred pairs of armors. As Tuoba Liuxiu is the eldest son of Tuoba Yilu, his subordinates can't even get together one hundred pairs of armors.
Otherwise, when he attacked Duan Bu Xianbei before, he wouldn't have let Duan Bu Xianbei hit more with less, beating him until he was running away with his head covered.
"This is my territory, I can't let these treasures slip away in vain!"
Tuoba Liuxiu gritted his teeth and decided to 'borrow' some of these weapons and armors from the Yuwen Department in line with the principle of 'a wild goose plucking its hair'.
However, as soon as he expressed his thoughts, a general next to him expressed his objection.
"General, this is not allowed!"
Tuoba Liuxiu took a look and found out that it was Wei Xiong from Hedong.
Wei Xiong was originally from a famous family in Hedong. Ever since Wei's uncle and nephew defected to Tuoba's family, he had been highly valued by Tuoba Yilu. This Wei Xiong was also respected by Tuoba Sixth Cultivation.
"Guard Guard, why not?" Tuoba Liuxiu frowned.
"General, Yuwen and Tuoba have been a good alliance for generations. Don't ruin the alliance between the two families just because you covet these soldiers and armors!" Wei Xiong said very sincerely.
"The rules on this grassland are different from those in the Central Plains. No matter what appears under your nose, as long as you have the ability to grab it, it is yours." Tuoba Liuxiu smiled roguely and continued.
"Whoever's pen this sheep goes to graze in is his sheep!"
"Today, these things arrived outside my account. Why can't I take them?"
"We Xianbei people can even snatch back women, let alone some weapons and armor."
As soon as Tuoba Liuxiu said this, several Xianbei subordinates next to him nodded.
For these tribes on the grasslands, whether they are chasing water and grass for grazing, or looting the 'fat sheep' they encounter, it is part of ordinary life.
However, Wei Xiong shook his head and said firmly.
"General, don't be so reckless!"
"Now that Yuwen Mogui took over, he called himself the Great Chanyu and conquered the weak and weak everywhere. He showed his sharpness and must be trying to develop something. My guess is that these weapons and armor must be very important to Yuwen Mogui. , once intercepted by the general, he will definitely be furious and raise troops!"
"Now our chief chanyu has led his army south to Jinyang, and the rear is empty, so we have left the general to garrison Daibei in case of any eventuality. If the general provokes Yuwen Mogui to raise his troops, the area from Daijun to Shengle may not be safe. Fu Tuoba all!"
After hearing what Wei Xiong said, Tuoba Liuxiu's neck felt cold, as if he could imagine how angry he would be facing his father Tuoba Yilu if that happened.
"The Great Chanyu has just returned from the expedition against Zahu in Hexi. Everyone knows that Shengle City has abundant reserves. If General Tu Yu Wenbu's property, then Yu Wen Mogui will definitely also want Shengle's wealth!"
Tuoba Liuxiu was very afraid of the violent Tuoba Yilu, but he was unwilling to let go so easily and said stubbornly.
"What's so difficult about this? All we need to do is get all the people together and kill Yuwen Xun Ni Yan and others. How did Yuwen Mogui, the old thief, find out!"
When Wei Xiong heard this, he shook his head again and said.
"How can two tribes that have been in-laws for generations maintain an airtight relationship? What's more, it's even more difficult for tribes like Tuoba Pugen and others to stay here in this generation of Beike."
At this time, Tuoba Sixth Cultivator no longer had any thoughts of ruthlessly attacking others, and suddenly became troubled.
"Oh, I really don't know what kind of benefits Yu Wenxun Niyan promised to that Qingzhou thief, and he actually got so many good things by deceiving him!"
When he said this, Tuoba Liuxiu thought bitterly that his father Tuoba Yilu had attacked Jinyang several times. In addition to earning him higher and higher titles, he even lost some slaves. Not many were captured, and as for those captured by the Huns, Tuoba Yilu kept all of them himself, and he would definitely leave them to his favored younger brothers in the future.
"General, in my opinion, this matter couldn't be more clear!" Wei Xiong said.
"What do you mean?" Tuoba Liuxiu asked with his eyes widened.
"Then Yu Wenxun Niyan secretly went to see the Qingzhou thieves and got these weapons and armors. He must have made some plans."
"Plan? What plan?"
"The Yuwen tribe lives in the north, the Qingzhou thieves live in the south, and there is Youzhou in the middle. As for what the plan is, isn't it too obvious!"
Tuoba Sixth Cultivator suddenly realized.
"Youzhou! Guard Guard, do you mean that the Yuwen Department and the Qingzhou thieves will join forces to attack Youzhou?!"
Having said this, Tuoba Liuxiu clapped his hands.
"So that's it! The Yuwen Department is going to completely surrender to the Qingzhou bandits!"
Tuoba Liuxiu grinned and said with a smile.
"If this is the case, then I can justifiably snatch these soldiers and armors. The Great Chanyu is the Jin Dynasty. If Yuwen Mogui is the Qingzhou Puppet, he is the enemy!"
"Haha, in this case, Shan Yu can no longer blame me for causing trouble!"
After hearing Tuoba Liuxiu's words, Wei Xiong glanced at him, showing a trace of disgust.
"General! At this time, it is not a question of whether Da Dan is to blame or not, but that the Yuwen Department also has strong troops and horses. Once we become an enemy, the main force of our department is in Jinyang, how can we turn around to rescue?"
Hearing this, Tuoba Liuxiu pursed his lips and restrained his previous pride.
"Guard Guard, what do you mean?"
He could feel that Wei Xiong seemed to have a way to make himself extravagant.
Wei Xiong smiled softly and said.
"General, since the Qingzhou Han Kingdom and the Yuwen Ministry have planned to attack Youzhou, it will be difficult to protect Youzhou with the appearance of Zaosong and Duan Ji and the Lujuan!"
Tuoba Liuxiu nodded, obviously he also agreed with this point.
"Since Zaosong is bound to be defeated, the general can send secret envoys southward and promise the Qingzhou Han Kingdom to help and contain Zaosong. We will definitely get a lot of support from the Qingzhou Han Kingdom. I'm afraid there will be more soldiers and armored tents!"
Tuoba Liuxiu nodded first, then shook his head.
"No, no, I, the Tuoba family, honor the Jin family. If old Shanyu finds out and I do such a thing behind his back, he will definitely make him angry and burn me!"
Tuoba Liuxiu once again showed fear towards his 'strict father'.
"General, this is easy!"
"In Daijun's various ministries, the general can send people to do this in the name of Daijun's powerful people. Isn't that okay?"
Wei Xiong said.
"The powerful Daijun? I'm not familiar with the powerful Daijun?" Tuoba Liuxiu said.
After Tuoba Xianbei occupied the northern part of Daijun, he already made the powerful people of Daijun very dissatisfied. In addition, Tuoba Xianbei was barbaric and untamed, and he was quite at odds with the natives of Daijun. There were no powerful and powerful people who had good relations with him. Do this.
After all, if you go south to Qingzhou and Han Dynasty and just claim the powerful name of A Cat or a Dog, you will be exposed very easily, and you will not be able to deceive even something.
"General, don't worry, this matter will be taken care of by me, Wei Xiong!" Wei Xiong said, patting his chest.
