Tuoba Si looked at the crowd, and saw a middle-aged man in his forties, a smart and capable middle-aged man, and said with a smile: "Of course, his name is He Lanyue, he is He Lan's cousin, and he was also one of the first to come to seek refuge. my people."
Liu Yu frowned: "Did Helan Ne send you to test you?"
Tuoba Si shook his head: "No, he is a distant relative of the Helan tribe. Although his surname is Helan, he has already separated from the family and is not with the Helan tribe. He himself is a small man with hundreds of households. The leader came to me without any orders from anyone, just because he recognized that I, the Tuoba tribe, are the authentic overlord of the grassland, and I, Tuoba Si, am the son of destiny and destined to own the grassland."
Liu Yu sighed: "I actually admire you. A young man has been living outside for more than ten years. As soon as he returned to the grassland, so many people left their homes and careers to join you."
Tuoba Si smiled and said: "Liu Yu Aqian, I believe that if you return to Jin now and give an order, those brothers who were saved by you on the battlefield will definitely do the same. I saw it with my own eyes that day. When I saw how you risked your life to cover the evacuation of your brothers, I was thinking that if I were a Jin soldier you saved, I would definitely be with you in life and death in this life."
Liu Yu curled his lips: "I saved my brothers just because they were my brothers, comrades, and colleagues. I didn't think about repaying them."
Tuoba Si nodded: "But these subordinates who came to join me want something in return, and when I take them in, I also want to make a promise. Once they can capture the desert in the future, they will naturally receive generous benefits. If I don't do this, I won't be able to stand in this world, and when they come to me, they also know my identity. It can be said that you rely on your own strength and personality charm to win brothers, and I rely on our Tuoba Ancestors of the family.”
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Tuoba Aqian, don't be too modest. I believe that with your ability, in the end, your subordinates and brothers will value your own talents rather than your blood. When it comes to Tuoba Aqian, You are not the only one who is related to the Ba family. Your brother-in-law Tuoba Kudu, including Tuoba Wo, the son of Tuoba Shoujun who killed your grandfather, are now independent. However, the people who defected to them have not several."
Tuoba Si sneered: "One is a puppet of the Huns, and the other is the son of a traitor who killed his father. Naturally, no one will follow me. Now I have enough strength to stand on my own, but being independent at this time may lead to The Dugu tribe and the Helan tribe have joined forces to deal with me. Even if they can be defeated, it will consume a lot of troops and time, and the gains outweigh the losses. Murong Chui is working hard to appease Hebei and resume production. Once he recovers, he will definitely come to the grassland to eliminate him. Me, I must retain the strongest grassland strength as possible to deal with powerful enemies from the outside, instead of shedding blood in the civil war."
Liu Yu nodded: "So you are still planning to go to the Helan tribe alone? Aren't you afraid that the three Helan heroes are afraid of your reputation and will attack you? With the lessons of the Dugu tribe in mind, I'm afraid they won't be able to do anything. Be defensive, and you also said that Helan Lu has an extraordinary relationship with the Murong family."
Tuoba Si smiled and said: "Everything must be put into the other party's shoes and considered from the perspective of the other party. That's what it means to make a decision and then act. For example, I know that Liu Xian needs to maintain a good reputation of being loyal to the Tuoba clan in the Dugu tribe in order to win the hearts of all the tribes. Therefore, he will definitely not attack me at the beginning, but once he believes He Lanmin's words and thinks that he is destined by destiny and all departments are united, he will misjudge the situation and feel that my existence is an obstacle to him. At this time, I If he leaves the Dugu tribe and comes to Qijie Mountain at the right time, he will regard it as an act of rebellion. Unknowingly, he has reversed the relationship between master, servant, monarch and minister. That's why he brought people to kill me today, regardless of victory. Defeated, the reputation of his Dugu clan as a loyal minister accumulated over decades has been ruined. Even if he can kill me, everyone will be betrayed and his tribe will be separated."
Liu Yu sighed: "Your analysis is very accurate. Liu Xian fell into your trap step by step without realizing it."
Tuoba Si nodded: "That's because Dugu Bu has always wanted to become the overlord of the grassland, including starting from his father Liu Kuren, so power will blind his eyes and make him lose his rational judgment. However, the situation of the Helan tribe is exactly the opposite. The ancestors of the Dugu tribe are Han clan members and have always considered themselves to have noble blood. It is natural for them to become the overlord of the grassland. However, the Helan tribe has been just a servant tribe of the Huns from the beginning. , have never been in contact with the core power on the grassland, not even the wise kings of the left and right, and the chanyu of all sides. In their subconscious, they just want to be what you Han people call a prince, and they can always keep their own territory. Slowly develop, rather than thinking about taking the opportunity to stand on one's own feet and aspire to the throne of the Khan."
"A tribe that is truly ambitious and ambitious will never cooperate with the Central Plains regime and become their leader on the grasslands. That will only make all the grassland tribes despise them and attack them in groups. In order to maintain the relationship, the Helan tribe The relationship with Murong Yan Kingdom and the cooperation with them overtly and covertly for many years are almost known to everyone on the grassland. Therefore, the Helan tribe does not want to compete for the throne of the grassland, so there is no fundamental conflict with me. My mother is from the Helan tribe, so if I become the overlord of the grassland, it will be beneficial to them."
Liu Yu smiled and said, "But they are under the control of the Murong clan. If Murong Chui orders them to kill you, will they disobey you?"
Tuoba Si said sternly: "This first depends on A Gan's behavior. You are the person Murong Chui sent to the grassland to assist, or to monitor me. His judgment of me comes from your reward. If you say that I Tuoba Si Basi is difficult to control and should be eliminated as soon as possible, then he will give this order to Helan's men."
Liu Yu shook his head: "Since you and I have become A Gan, I will naturally not betray you and will definitely help you seize the grassland overlord. Don't worry about this. I will conceal your intentions from Murong Chui. Today's battle will also be It is said that Liu Xian was jealous of you and personally led his people to assassinate you. Fortunately, there were loyal people in the Dugu tribe who reported the news in advance, so you escaped this disaster. Liu Xian suffered a big loss this time, and he must not dare to make a big show of it after returning. , if Murong Chui wants to know the details of this battle, my report is the only way."
Tuoba Si laughed: "But if you help me lie like this, aren't you betraying Murong Chui? My A Gan."
Liu Yu said seriously: "My promise to Murong Chui is to help you eliminate Liu Xian on the grassland and eliminate the threat of Dugu tribe to his country of Yan, in exchange for him letting me and my brothers go from Yecheng. This has been done so far So far, I have not violated anything, and I have no regrets in my heart. The reason why I became Agan with you and helped you achieve your goals is to seek justice for the tens of thousands of Beifu brothers who died at his hands! A true man stands in the world, knows his grudges clearly, and has a clear conscience."
