Chapter 567 "If the Enemy Can Go, I Can Go Too!" [Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket]

"What level does Suotou have in Tuoba Xianbei?"

Cheng Yu began to assign attack tasks to each camp. Lu Bu made a self-heating hot pot for Xu Shu and Zhuge Jin, and took out two boxes of garlic sausages to distribute to the reconnaissance team led by the two.

Xu Shu looked down at the steam coming out of the self-heating hot pot and found it amazing:

"It is the end of the end. If Tuoba Liwei had not turned the tide and conquered the various tribes of Tuoba Xianbei, he would probably not even have a name in history."

Based on historical data, Zhuge Jin said:

"The book given by the teacher said that Tuoba Liwei became rich with the help of Dou Bin and became Dou Bin's son-in-law... But he was already in his fifties or sixties when he met Dou Bin. At this age, marrying someone else's daughter and becoming someone else's son-in-law, isn't this a grandfather-grandson relationship?"

Xu Shu laughed:

"These grassland foreign tribes, being able to count to ten on their fingers is already a child prodigy. What else can you expect? But Wei Guan's strategy is indeed good. If there is a chance, I would like to learn from it."

Wei Guan's method of getting rid of Tuoba Liwei is actually very simple, that is, to take advantage of the Xianbei people's lack of knowledge and culture, and to fan the flames a little, so that Tuoba Liwei executed his own son.

At that time, Tuoba Liwei had unified Tuoba Xianbei. In order to make friends with the Han people, he specially sent his son Tuoba Shamohan to Luoyang as a hostage.

A few years later, the Western Jin Dynasty was established. Tuoba Shamohan took advantage of the chaos and proposed to go back to take care of his father. The court let him go back.

The experience of several years in Luoyang made Tuoba Shamohan gain a lot of knowledge. After the political situation of the Western Jin Dynasty stabilized and the Shu Han was pacified, Tuoba Liwei hurriedly asked his son Tuoba Shamohan to go to Luoyang to give gifts in order to be submissive.

At that time, Wei Guan was appointed as the governor of Bingzhou because of his contribution to pacifying the Zhong Hui Rebellion. He felt that Tuoba Shamohan was knowledgeable and cultured, and might be a strong enemy of the court in the future, so he was ready to get rid of him.

He forced Tuoba Shamohan to stay in Bingzhou on the grounds that they hit it off at first sight, and taught him various etiquette of the Han people and popular toys among the nobles, such as slingshots, which Tuoba Shamohan liked very much and almost never missed.

While Wei Guan was doing all this, he secretly sent gifts to the leaders of other Xianbei tribes, inadvertently revealing that Tuoba Shamo Khan had mastered the secret arts of the Central Plains, and it would be easy to get rid of these tribal leaders.

When the atmosphere was almost heated, Tuoba Shamo Khan, dressed in Han brocade clothes, returned to Xianbei with a slingshot.

Many tribal leaders came to test the waters, and Tuoba Shamo Khan, who was in a playful mood, took the opportunity to show off his slingshot skills and shot down a wild goose with a stone.

Everyone didn't see the stone clearly, but they thought that shooting down a wild goose with an empty bow was indeed like the evil arts of the Central Plains.

If you can kill the wild goose, which is known as the messenger of the gods, it is naturally easy to kill everyone.

This word reached Tuoba Liwei's ears, and he asked the opinions of the leaders of various tribes. Everyone said that it was not a good sign, and it was even a sign of the country's demise.

Tuoba Liwei was sick at the time, and he was most taboo to hear such words. At the same time, he was also worried that his son had been instigated by the Central Plains dynasty, so he sent people to get rid of his son Tuoba Shamo Khan.

The successor who had been carefully cultivated for decades was buried in Wei Guan's slingshot.

After the death of Sha Mo Khan, Tuoba Liwei soon realized that he had been tricked. He was so angry that he vomited blood, and his condition worsened, even to the point where he could not get out of bed.

Wei Guan also asked the Wuhuan King Kuxian, who had received money, to spread rumors in the tribe, saying that the leaders had jointly killed Tuoba Sha Mo Khan, and the king wanted to destroy all the tribes to bury Sha Mo Khan.

The leaders of Tuoba Xianbei took it seriously and immediately fled with their tribes. Tuoba Xianbei fell into civil strife. Tuoba Liwei was unable to reverse the situation and soon passed away.

Wei Guan's strategy was not brilliant, but it was very effective. The price he paid was to play with Tuoba Sha Mo Khan for several months and bribe several tribal leaders.

Lu Bu patted Xu Shu on the shoulder and said:

"It's good that Yuan Zhi has this intention, but we don't have the opportunity to use this strategy for the time being. It will take too long to take effect. Just attack and destroy the country directly. There is no need to play these twists and turns."

Zhuge Jin also responded:

"Nowadays, in the eyes of the Han soldiers, each foreign tribe is a military merit waiting to be seized. How can they wait for a few months? However, those Western countries can try it in advance... Isn't Mr. Wenhe training Deng Zhi in Nanyang? If Yuan Zhi is interested, then we can go all the way west from the Western Regions and provoke a war there."

Xu Shu's eyes lit up:

"This is indeed a good idea. After two years of training in Bingzhou, I will return to Chang'an and study again with Mr. Wenhe for a while."

Unlike other counselors, Xu Shu is a person who explores the truth through action.

When he was a teenager, he practiced swordsmanship and was determined to be a knight who would eliminate harm for the people. Later, he really killed someone, thanks to his luck. However, after killing someone, he found that there were so many people who should be killed in the world. If he killed one, ten more would appear. If he wanted to put an end to this phenomenon, he had to read more and use knowledge to change the world.

Then he studied hard in Jingzhou, and now he has finally achieved some success.

Although he has found the direction of his future life, he did not return to Chang'an immediately to learn diplomacy from Jia Xu. Instead, he planned to stay in Bingzhou for two years to completely adapt to the life of foreigners at the border, and then go back to continue his studies.

With enough practical experience, learning similar knowledge will be twice as effective with half the effort.

He is a man who is both civil and military, and Deng Zhi is also a general who is both civil and military. If they cooperate, they may really be able to form alliances in Central Asia and destroy several countries with the help of enemy countries.

As they were talking, the hot pot was ready. Xu Shu and Zhuge Jin soaked the pancakes in it and ate the hot pot in a hurry, not even wasting the soup. They drank it all up.

At this moment, Cheng Yu had assigned the task of attacking. Lu Bu led the artillery team to move forward, preparing to set up an artillery position on a nearby hilltop and directly drop shells into the tent of Tuoba Xianbei.

An hour later, it was completely dark, and cheers came from the Xianbei camp.

Standing on the ridge, Lu Bu stared at the camp with a telescope and saw a Xianbei man with a shaved head and long hair on his temples and back of his head, who came out amid the cheers of the crowd.

He looked like a bear, very strong, with tattered clothes on his body, and only a golden scimitar hanging around his waist.

Seeing this, Lu Bu muttered:

"The Suotou tribe is really poor. Even Tuoba Jiefen's children don't have a complete set of clothes. That golden knife may be the most valuable item in the family."

The Xianbei people are flamboyant and will show off their most precious things.

Now Tuoba Liwei is showing off the golden knife on his waist, which is a deliberate show-off, in order to make the tribe more united and obedient.

As he was watching, the artillery captain in charge of aiming said:

"General, the artillery has been aimed."

"Which position are you aiming at?"

"The livestock area on the left rear, first scare the horses, then bombard the gate, and finally bombard the right rear where the middle-aged and elderly people live... What do you think, General?"

Lv Bu thought about it and adjusted the order of the bombardment:

"First bombard the right rear, these Xiongnu old men don't know how to give their children the right education, according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, they should be executed by cannon... After bombarding the old men, bombard the gate, as for the mounts, don't rush to do it, the Xianbei people are not good, but the horses they raise are still good."

When did our Han Dynasty have such a law of cannon execution?

The captain wanted to complain, but he wisely adjusted the elevation angle and prepared to give the Xianbei old men a good beating.

Seeing that he was very skilled in the operation, Lu Bu asked curiously:

"Are you a soldier led by Cao Xing?"

"Reporting to Wen Hou, when we ambushed Cao Mengde last year, the first shot was the fuse lit by me."

"Yes, these cannons are handed over to you. Don't learn from Cao Xing, that idiot who wants to blow up everything he sees, like a kid who just got a hydraulic press."

"Yes!"

After the lieutenant agreed, he lit an outdoor mosquito coil as thick as a little finger to ignite the fuse.

Lu Bu continued to observe with a telescope. Tuoba Liwei walked around the field and received a lot of cheers, but he didn't seem satisfied. He summoned a few shirtless warriors to wrestle with him.

Xu Shu adjusted the focus of the telescope and tried to analyze the motive for doing so:

"Looking for someone to wrestle at this time is a symbol of showing off military strength. Is there anyone who is not convinced by Tuoba Liwei? So he plans to take this opportunity to establish his authority?"

Lv Bu silently took off the compound bow on the horse's back and said:

"It may also be for acting. Don't forget that Tuoba Pi Gu has not yet broken up... Since he wants to establish his authority, then I will destroy the stage and make Tuoba Liwei lose his reputation!"

When wrestling in the tribe, you cannot sneak attack or play dirty tricks. No matter whether you win or lose, you must be upright and dignified. This is the only way to gain support.

And Lu Bu is now planning to shoot a cold arrow and kill someone who wrestles with Tuoba Liwei.

At this time, no matter how strong Tuoba Liwei is, he will immediately become the object of scorn of the whole tribe.

Who will obey you in the future if you play dirty tricks with your own family? Who will believe you?

As for the coming-of-age ceremony, you have to have some unforgettable memories.

Soon, Tuoba Liwei wrestled with a man who was stronger than him. The people around cheered and cheered. Many people took off their shirts and patted their chests like wild animals.

"Damn, drinking a little wine is stronger than others taking drugs. He is really bad at drinking."

Lu Bu muttered, took a deep breath, and just as he was about to draw his bow and aim, he suddenly found that the blade arrow was a bit dazzling. He quickly changed to the feather arrow commonly used by the Xianbei people, and then pulled the bowstring and aimed at the man wrestling with Tuoba Liwei in the field.

The distance was far, but fortunately he was in a high position, and gravity could increase some potential energy.

At this moment, the two people on the field were evenly matched, and Lu Bu had not found a chance to shoot an arrow.

This opportunity was very subtle. It could not be when Tuoba Liwei had the upper hand, nor when they were evenly matched, but when Tuoba Liwei was suppressed and beaten, suddenly shooting a cold arrow would definitely produce a very big effect.

He didn't wait too long. In order to portray himself as a hero who turned defeat into victory, Tuoba Liwei deliberately exposed his flaws. The other party really pressed him down and beat him, and threw him to the ground.

Just as Tuoba Liwei was about to turn defeat into victory and completely mobilize the emotions of the tribesmen, a sound of breaking air suddenly rang in his ears.

"Ah!!!!!!"

With a scream, Tuoba Liwei felt his body lighten. The strong man who had just pressed him rolled to the side, with an arrow stuck straight in his back.

Tuoba Liwei was stunned, and Tuoba Jiefen, who was sitting on a bear skin chair drinking mare's milk, was also stunned.

But the tribesmen who were watching were not stunned. They immediately protested and accused Tuoba Liwei of being unethical and attacking even his own family members, and asked him to hand over the murderer quickly.

Lu Bu pulled out another arrow and saw that one of the uncles looked somewhat similar to Tuoba Jiefen, as if they were brothers. He was accusing Tuoba Liwei in an excited manner. So he pulled the bowstring and shot an arrow at the guy's mouth.

Now, the camp of Tuoba Xianbei became even more chaotic. Tuoba Liwei wanted to go over to see the injury, but was knocked to the ground by a punch.

The coming-of-age ceremony turned into a farce.

Lu Bu had enough fun and gave the order to fire:

"Start firing, remember not to hurt those tied Han people, and don't hurt our horses."

As the sound of the cannon sounded, the cavalry of each unit also moved quickly and launched a fierce attack on the camp of Tuoba Xianbei.

The sound of the cannon here spread everywhere. Zhang Liao on the north side of the mountain and Guo Yu on the east side also launched an attack at the same time. Everyone directly surrounded the Xianbei head.

At this time, the battle was basically no suspense.

Especially when Cheng Yu asked people to set off fireworks from a high place to the camp, the huge light that turned the night into day made these ignorant Xianbei people think they saw Changshengtian, and they quickly knelt down and kowtowed to beg for their lives.

When Lu Bu rode to the camp, several tied-up Han people had been rescued. They were wrapped in blankets and sipping hot soup provided by the Han soldiers.

Lu Bu asked a captain:

"What's their background? Have you found out?"

"I found out. They are from the Guo family of Taiyuan. They were originally going to Yanmen to seek refuge with the prefect Guo, but were captured by the Xianbei people and were intended to be offered as sacrifices to the Eternal Heaven."

Wow, it was right to let Guo Xian follow the troops.

However, Lu Bu did not relax his vigilance, but ordered:

"Keep an eye on them. Before you meet Guo Yu, make sure they are always in your sight."

After arranging this matter, Lu Bu whistled and came to Tuoba Liwei who was kneeling on the ground. The golden knife he had just hung on his waist had been confiscated. Cheng Yu took a photo with it and handed it to Lu Bu:

"Please ask Wen Hou to pass it to His Royal Highness the Holy Son. I hope he will not dislike it."

When Lu Bu received it, he found that the knife was a bit rustic. The gems inlaid on the gold were not very shiny... In the words of the cultural relics circle, it was patina.

"Whose knife is this?"

Tuoba Liwei raised his head and said proudly:

"This is the saber seized by my grandfather from the Xiongnu emperor. It is said that this knife almost assassinated your Han Dynasty's Huo Huqi!"

Assassinated Huo Qubing?

Lu Bu was happy:

"How did you assassinate him? In a dream?"

This is actually a golden knife from the same period as Huo Qubing. It must be at least two or three hundred years old, right?

Lu Bu quickly reacted:

"Did you rob the Huns' royal tombs?"

This made Tuoba Liwei lose his temper.

Grave robbing is despised in any era.

Tuoba Jiefen was older and more intelligent, so he quickly said:

"We are here to avenge the Han Dynasty, so we dig up the tombs and grind the Chanyu's body to dust to avenge the harassment from the south."

Good guy, he even brought up the righteousness.

But to be reduced to the level of tomb robbing shows that Suotou is really poor to the core.

Lu Bu put the golden knife on his waist, ready to send it to the real world, thanking Li Yu for providing compressed biscuits and formula feed.

He sat down on the bear skin chair and asked Tuoba Jiefen:

"What other good things do you have? Take them out now. You can exchange your life for them. When I find them out, it won't be an exchange, but a death."

Tuoba Jiefen begged for mercy:

"It's gone. They were all taken away by the Bai tribe. We got this camp in exchange for those collections. Only the golden knife is left. The great wizard said it would be useful to us, so he kept it."

Bai tribe Xianbei?

Very good, next time we will target this tribe.

All of them were escorted. There were tens of thousands of people in the camp, one third of whom were Han slaves, and there were also a few Han officials, but they had shaved their heads and became members of the Xianbei.

Since they had shaved their heads, they should be treated as Xianbei.

Lu Bu looted some gold, and seeing that Tuoba Jiefen's Hu chair was good, he gave the bear skin to Cheng Yu to keep warm, and then carried the chair in one hand to the real world.

At this moment, Li Yu and the others had not rested yet, and they were all waiting for news in the study.

Seeing Lv Bu coming over with a chair in one hand, Mu Guiying asked:

"Are you done? Why are you still carrying a broken chair? Are you worried that there won't be a seat for you in the B&B?"

Lv Bu introduced:

"It's done. This is a chair passed down from Tuoba Jiefen's ancestors. It symbolizes the status of their family... I think it's quite quaint, so I brought it here for you to see."

After that, he took out the golden knife from his waist and placed it on the coffee table:

"This was dug out from the tomb of the Xiongnu Chanyu by the Tuoba Xianbei people. These grandsons were so poor that they made a living by robbing tombs, but they didn't leave anything good behind. Only this knife is said to be from the same period as Huo Qubing. I think you should like it."

Zhou Ruotong picked it up and took a look. This golden knife is really good. It is a typical Xiongnu royal family item. Judging from the traces of use on it, it might really be a product of the same period as Huo Qubing.

Pulling out the knife, you can see a line of words engraved on the blade:

"The Han thief Huo Qubing abducted our king in Chang'an, forged this knife to show his will!"

This is the golden knife made by the Xiongnu after Huo Qubing abducted the Chanyu for the first time, right?

Come to think of it, it is really a product of the same period as Huo Qubing.

As for the chair, it has a clear Qin and Han style. If I guess correctly, it should have been passed down for hundreds of years. The paint on the surface is cracked, and the chair is engraved with Xianbei characters. Unfortunately, Zhou Ruotong does not understand these characters and does not understand what they mean.

Since he had won a great victory, Li Yu came to the kitchen, cut some pork belly, and made a big pot of pork belly braised noodles for Lu Bu, so that he could have a good meal.

"Tomorrow, after searching the camp, we will take all the captives back. The Xianbei people will be taken to the south bank of the Yellow River to open up wasteland. Tuoba Jiefen and his family will all be driven into the bridge piles to escort the bridge of the Han Dynasty!"

Li Yu thought for a while and said:

"Remember to arrange a garrison, so that other Xianbei tribes will not come as soon as you leave."

"Don't worry, my dear brother. Wenyuan will not return to Jiuyuan this time, but will take a detour to the grassland to stroll around and find a few Xianbei tribes to capture and contribute to the infrastructure of the Han Dynasty."

The grassland people used to go south to abduct the Han people. Now it's time for the Han Dynasty to abduct their people and make them work like cows and horses!

Liu Xie, who was also waiting for news, said the famous saying of Emperor Wu of Han:

"If the invaders can go, I can go too!"
