Chapter 1405 Releasing the wolf into the wild (2)(1/2)
When the Central Plains is weak, trying to naturalize the barbarians is no different from trying to seize chestnuts from the fire.
If one person is not good enough, he might get burned.
At that time, someone named Feng wanted to domesticate the bald man, and he used both kindness and power for several years.
Finally, as the Han Dynasty's national and military power continued to increase, and its influence continued to penetrate into Liangzhou, it turned the bald eagle into a falcon like an eagle.
Hebei is currently facing internal and external troubles, so Sima Taifu cannot imagine that he can make tens of thousands of Huqi kowtow after just a few months of manipulation.
If he had been so naive, he wouldn't have been able to sit where he is now.
It is impossible to say that in the end, the barbarians will cause everyone to fall to the ground.
So this time he released the Tuoba brothers, but he was really forced to do so.
If you forcefully swallow tens of thousands of Hu cavalry, you will suffer from indigestion, but if you don't swallow them, you won't have enough cavalry to fight against the Han army.
It can be seen from this that Mr. Feng’s pit-digging skills are so vicious that he would give birth to a son without an asshole.
In recent years, it has become increasingly difficult for the Wei Dynasty to obtain war horses from the grasslands. The fine cavalry of the Wei Dynasty that were once famous throughout the world have gradually declined.
And now, this situation will actually cause Sima Taifu, who captured Hebei, to be in a dilemma at this time?
Compared with Mr. Feng's foresight, each of these aristocratic families in Hebei can be regarded as a frog in the well.
He would rather bury his own money and food in the cellar to moldy and rot than lend it to Sima Taifu for use.
What's wrong with using it?
Is it just for himself that Taifu Sima borrowed these money and grains?
Isn’t it to protect Hebei?
Since you won't lend it to me, I'll ask someone else to lend it to you.
It's just that Hebei is now Taifu Sima's base, and he doesn't dare to be really ruthless and smash this place to pieces.
It is estimated that those aristocratic families have also noticed this, so they are so confident.
The opponents were like ghosts and gods, and the teammates were like pigs and dogs. Master Sima couldn't help but let out a long and heavy sigh:
"If Yi is born, how can one be eternal?"
Just as Taifu Sima was feeling sorry for himself, footsteps came from outside:
"Taifu, I need to see you for something."
"It's Lan Shi, come in."
Fu Gu came in in response, bowed slightly, and said softly:
"Taifu, the two Tuoba brothers have left the city to join their clansmen."
Sima Yi nodded, indicating that he understood, and then asked:
"Is there anything unusual?"
Fu Gu shook his head:
"That's not true. There is no news from the internal intelligence. Moreover, according to the reports from spies, those barbarians are forming a team and they really look like they are about to leave."
When Master Sima heard this, his expression did not change at all, only his tone fluctuated slightly:
"I didn't expect that Tuoba Xulu could bear such a tone, which surprised me a bit."
It is said that the wolf is to be released into the wild, but with Taifu Sima's city, how could it be possible that there are no preventive measures?
It should be inevitable to be placed inside, and we have been prepared for the possibility of the Tuoba brothers suddenly rebelling outside the city.
But obviously, the Tuoba brothers seemed very honest and did not make any mindless and extreme actions.
Only Fu Gu said softly:
"Master, it seems to me that with Tuoba Xulu's rudeness and rudeness, it may be difficult to achieve this."
"In my opinion, that brother Tuoba Chuo is quite extraordinary. If a foreigner can swallow such a sigh of relief, he may have something to do with that Tuoba Chuo."
Sima Yi smiled nonchalantly:
"Is Lan Shi reminding me to pay attention to Tuoba Chuo?"
He shook his head, "It's just a beard, there's no need to take it too seriously. And if this beard is really different from others, wouldn't it just cause those people more trouble?"
"Right now, we still have to focus on the west side of Taihang Mountain and don't get distracted!"
After hearing Taifu's words, Fu Gu looked at Taifu Sima's gray and messy hair and beard, and his haggard and old face, and finally remained silent.
When it comes to deceit and insidiousness, no one in the world can be better than Feng Thief. His actions cannot be judged by common sense.
The Taifu is already old, and his energy is already lacking in the face of such a powerful enemy.
Not to mention the aristocratic families in Hebei, which also involved a lot of energy from the Taifu.
Alas, compared with these, a beard is indeed nothing more than a mere beard.
Thinking again, the Taifu had placed internal agents among the Hu people and was fully prepared, yet he himself made such unnecessary remarks, which was really a bit ignorant.
With this thought in mind, Fu Gu bowed slightly and retreated.
——
Naturally, the two brothers Tuoba Xilu and Tuoba Chuo didn't know that if they were even a little careless, they would fall into an irreversible situation.
But fortunately, at this time, as Fu Gu said, the two people did not have any unnecessary thoughts, but they passed the test in ignorance.
"Kehan, is it really you, Kehan?"
When the leaders of Tuoba's headquarters saw the two Tuoba brothers, they immediately knelt down at Tuoba Xilu's feet and kissed his feet:
"We are finally waiting for you, Kehan."
Tuoba Xulu was also extremely excited.
In the past few months, he almost thought that he would never have the chance to see his tribe again in this life.
Now that I heard everyone's name, and was bowed down like this, I couldn't help but feel a mixture of sadness and joy, and even became a little incoherent:
"You, are you all okay? Get up, get up! Also, why do you all call me Kehan?"
After hearing Tuoba Xulu's words, all the leaders, big and small, cried:
"Ke Han, we have all been deceived! The Wei people were unfaithful and deceived us, promising that we would have enough food and clothing. It was fine at the beginning, and the people could barely eat enough."
"But within two days, the food supply gradually became insufficient. The Wei people first deceived us and asked us to exchange horses for food, and then forced us to betray the Khan..."
Accusing the Wei people of their shameless betrayal, and recounting the deception and oppression that everyone had suffered in the past six months, many people actually cried.
"Kehan, Da Kehan is gone, you are our Kehan, you have to make the decision for us!"
Listening to the cries of his tribe, seeing the miserable state of his tribe, and remembering how Taifu Sima begged him back then, Tuoba Xilu couldn't help but burst into anger:
"Then Wei people..."
Just after he said three words, his heel was stepped on by Tuoba Chuo, which reminded Tuoba Xilu of his brother's words of warning, so he abruptly changed his words:
"I already know everything about what the Wei people did. They did it all without telling the Taifu. I have told the Taifu. I came out to meet you this time because of the Taifu's order.
Came here to resolve this matter."
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked and confused.
But Xin Kehan insisted that this was the case, and they had nothing to say.
Then when they heard that Tuoba Xilu had agreed to lead them to borrow grain from the local big family, most of their doubts were gone, and their faces suddenly turned sad, replaced by joy.
Borrowing grain is great. Borrowing grain from the Han people is an ancestral tradition in Xianbei.
I heard that in Master Tan Shihuai's time, the Han emperor would take the initiative to send food to Xianbei without him asking.
Although Da Xianbei is now much worse than before, Ke Han was able to make the Wei people admit their mistakes and take the initiative to ask them to borrow grain, which can be regarded as quite sincere.
Without further ado, the Xianbei ministers who were still loyal to Tuoba Xilu gathered their troops and horses, and following Xin Kehan's order, they set off towards the goal in a mighty manner.
It wasn't until he was dozens of miles away from Yecheng that Tuoba Xulu dared to stop and take stock of his family fortune.
There are only a few thousand warriors, and the horses are old and weak. There are even some warriors who don't even have horses.
Can a prairie eagle without wings still be called an eagle?
As soon as he thought of this, Tuoba Xilu couldn't help but feel sad.
Could it be possible that God really wants to destroy the Tuoba clan?
"Brother, we only have five days of food rations. We must find a way to borrow food within five days, otherwise, we may run out of food..."
At this time, Tuoba Chuo gave Tuoba Xilu another piece of bad news.
"I'm in..."
Tuoba Xulu hit the horse's back so hard that it was so frightened that the horse was about to neigh and rush out. Fortunately, he had excellent riding skills and was familiar with the horse's temperament, so he calmed it down and no accident happened.
"Five days? How can five days be enough? Didn't the Wei people say that they will provide us with food again in five days?"
Tuoba Chuo smiled bitterly:
To be continued...
