Hetao Grassland, Yueba City, this city is only equivalent to a small county in the Central Plains. The surrounding walls are only more than ten feet high. It is not so much a capital city as it is more like a large land with a radius of seven or eight miles. There were tents dotted around the outside of the city, and on the simple city tower, Liu Weichen was very proud. Surrounded by his sons' clans, he looked at the torrent of horses outside the city, as well as the various tribes. flag, a smile gradually bloomed on his face.
Liu Zhili, who is tall and strong and as strong as a bear, looks stronger than when he raided Monan two years ago. Even the flesh on his face has been trained into shapely muscles. His voice is like Like a jackal, rough and savage: "Today, the Daxi tribe has also arrived. As a result, the troops and horses of the entire Hetao tribe have been assembled, with one hundred thousand cavalry. Humph, I heard that the Yan Kingdom sent troops to defeat Tuobagui. This guy is here Monan was completely defeated and fled in embarrassment, preparing to take refuge in Mobei. Father Khan, this is a God-given opportunity for us to eliminate them in one fell swoop."
The other sons also echoed, but standing at the end, a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, remained silent.
Liu Weichen turned to look at this young man. He was a nine-foot-tall young man with a muscular back and waist. Compared with the sons around him who were tall and thick, with faces full of flesh and scars of varying sizes and numbers, This man can be said to have clear features, even handsome. If it weren't for the fact that a string of skull necklaces as big as a child's fist hung around his neck, it would make people's hair stand on end. It could even be said that as long as this man Wearing the clothes of a descendant of a Jiangnan family, he could be regarded as a young man.
Liu Weichen said in a deep voice: "Bobo, do you have any opinions on your elder brother's opinion?"
This young man is none other than Liu Weichen's youngest son, Liu Bobo, who personally killed Tuoba Kudou back then. This man is resourceful and cunning like a wolf. Compared with his brothers who only rely on brute force, he can be described as an alien. There are many insights that even Liu Weichen, who has been scheming all his life, would be amazed. Hearing his father's words, he raised his head and said: "Father, something is wrong this time. I'm afraid, we will suffer a big loss."
Liu Weichen's expression changed slightly, and Liu Zhili on the other side shouted: "Hey, Bobo, what do you mean by this? Even if you are my father's most beloved son, you can't shake the morale of the army like this and destroy my morale."
Liu Bobo sighed: "In the past, my father Khan's soldiers and horses were dispatched, and my eldest brother was conquering here and there. Did Bobo ever say no? But this time is different. The opponent is Tuoba Gui, and he is a cunning fox. , don’t think that just because he appears to be running away now, it means he has really failed. When it comes to deceit, this is not the first time for him.”
Liu Weichen smiled and said: "Bobo, you are a bit worried. No grassland overlord will give up on Monan. Sometimes he can fake defeat and even give away the women of the tribe. However, Monan belongs to the entire grassland." Where the lifeline is, there are the most abundant aquatic plants, the most rivers and lakes, and above the Yinshan Mountains, it is equivalent to the capital of the Central Plains. It is the location of the sweat tent that our grassland people recognize. If we lose this, we will lose all the grassland tribes. recognition and respect. Liu Xian and his Dugu tribe once ran rampant in the desert and were powerful for a while, but because they lost Monan and the Khan Court, they ended up betraying their relatives. The same is true for Tuoba Gui."
Liu Zhili said with a smile: "That's right, Tuoba Gui's ambush last time was because he borrowed external forces. This time, even Yan State is his enemy. It's impossible to say that they are joining forces to act against us. Bo Bo, you are so clever. It’s okay to use it in normal times, but this is a military and national event, so don’t pretend to be different.”
The brothers around him all burst into laughter, looking at Liu Bobo as if they were looking at a child.
Liu Bobo's eyes flashed with a cold look: "Of course the Yan Kingdom can't act, but this time they defeated the Baba tribe, Wang Jian tribe, Shusun tribe, and Helan tribe, but they did not defeat Tuo. The biggest difference between Tuoba Gui and Liu Xian in Ba Gui’s headquarters is that his main force has not been damaged, so we cannot take it lightly just because he evacuated on his own initiative.”
Liu Weichen said with a smile: "What Bob said makes sense. It is precisely because we cannot take it lightly. Therefore, this time Father Khan gathered all the tribes in the Hetao Grassland and gathered a huge army. Look, in less than a month, One hundred thousand cavalry have come, and all the men in Hetao are here. Even if Tuoba Gui's strength is still alive, we are still three times his military strength. If we want to defeat him, if we don't do it at this time, do we have to wait for him to return to Monan? Regain your strength?"
Liu Bobo gritted his teeth: "But the tribes in Hetao may not really surrender to our Tiefu Xiongnu. Most of them are Xianbei people and are close relatives of the Tuoba Wei Kingdom. What will happen if they see a stalemate between the two armies and defect in front of the battle? good?"
Liu Weichen smiled and waved his hand: "Father Khan has also thought about what you said. It is precisely because he is worried about this that Father Khan asked them to only send out strong men from the tribe this time and keep all the property, women and children. As long as Since they are in our hands, we are not afraid of the men in front of us betraying them. If they really want to betray us, then I will kill them all and make them regret it for the rest of their lives."
Liu Bobo said in surprise: "But the front line is thousands of miles away from here. How could Father Khan know the situation on the front line?"
Liu Weichen glanced at Liu Zhiliti and heard Liu Zhiliti say: "In this battle, my son can lead the troops. My father is old and only needs to sit at the rear. I will keep sending messengers back to report on the situation at the front. Once there is a change, Father Khan can act accordingly."
Liu Bobo gritted his teeth: "Then if Tuobagui sends a surprise army to come around, we don't have a large army on the grassland, how can we resist it?"
Liu Weichen said with a smile: "Don't worry, Father Khan has posted sentries all over the Hetao. Tuoba Gui himself is running for his life. How can he send a large army to attack? Even if a small group of bandits attack, my main city here will still remain. There are five thousand soldiers and horses, which is enough to cope with it. If it doesn't work, you can also ask for help from the later Qin Dynasty. Bo Bo, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to eliminate the Tuoba tribe in one fell swoop. The Yan State cannot stay in the grassland forever. As long as the Yan army retreats, If we kill Tuoba Gui, we can return to the grassland at any time and unify the desert!"
Liu Zhiliti and his younger brothers fisted their chests together, howling like a wolf, and shouted: "Unify the desert, and defeat the Xiongnu. Unify the desert, and defeat the Xiongnu."
Liu Weichen handed a golden arrow in Liu Zhili's hand, with a fierce look in his eyes: "Bring this and Tuoba Gui's head back together. Next month is Father Khan's birthday, and I want to use his Skull wine cup, drink with everyone!”
