—————
Under the burning gaze of Yu Fuluo, the Huns Old King felt deeply ashamed, and many long-lost past events surged into his heart.
Yu Fuluo called his old uncle, but in fact he was not Yu Fuluo's uncle, but the tribe leader with the same roots as Yu Fuluo.
A few years ago, the Southern Xiongnu Shanyu Qiangqu was killed, which was supposed to be because Fuluo inherited the position of Shanyu. However, before Qiangqu was killed, Yu Fuluo sent troops to support the Hanting Court to eliminate the Yellow Turban rebels, which missed the opportunity and failed to return to the tribe while Qiangqu was alive. After Qiangqu died, the Hou Bugudu of Xubudu usurped the throne and inherited the position of Shanyu. Seeing that the situation was not good, Yu Fuluo did not dare to return to the tribe rashly, so he stayed in Shangdang County to observe the changes in the times.
The following year, the Marquis of Xubugudu was killed, and the Shanyu was vacant. Yu Fuluo led his people back to the tribe with joy, hoping to inherit the throne of the Shanyu and lead the Southern Xiongnu tribes. Unexpectedly, he was blocked by the nobles of various tribes and admitted that he was the Southern Xiongnu Khan, but did not allow him to enter the tribal territory, which forced Yu Fuluo to return to Shangdang, unite with the Baibo thief, and robbed him everywhere.
Many years have passed since the incident. Perhaps Yu Fuluo still can't understand why the tribal nobles did not allow him to return to the tribe, but the old king of the Southern Xiongnu was very clear about this. Because Yu Fuluo could not inherit the position of Shanyu, although he was not the mastermind behind the scenes, he was also the biggest and most capable accomplice hidden in the dark.
The whole thing was planned and implemented by Yu Fuluo's younger brother Hu Chuquan. At that time, there was a shadow of Hu Chuquan when Qiangqu was killed. At that time, he had a close relationship with Xubu Guduhou Hou, hoping that Xubu Guduhou Hou would support him ascend to the position of Shanyu, and even hoped that Xubu Guduhou Hou's tribe would be supported by the support and support of the Xubu Guduhou Hou tribe. Unexpectedly, Xubu Guduhou Hou carefully planned to get rid of Qiangqu and turned to the guest. He ascends to the position of Shanyu and instead pursues Hu Chuquan.
Forced to helplessly, Hu Chuquan had to kneel down and seek full responsibility, and obeyed the Marquis of Xubu Gudu as the Shanyu, and waited for the opportunity. The next year, he joined forces with the nobles of various tribes to assassinate the Marquis of Xubu Gudu. After one of the success, he did not expect that Yu Fulu would come back to inherit the position of Shanyu at this time. This made Hu Chuquan feel very frustrated, but he was helpless, and he was afraid that Fulu would find out that his father Qiang Qu's death was related to him. Therefore, he could only unite with the nobles of the tribe to unanimously oppose Vluo's return and exchange tribe power for the support of the patriarch. The old king of the Southern Xiongnu naturally would not refuse such good things. He immediately agreed happily and tried his best to prevent Yu Fuluo from returning to the tribe.
As a result, everything was as expected by Huchuquan. The old king of the Southern Xiongnu came forward to unite the nobles of various tribes and excluded Yu Fuluo and could not return to the tribe. However, the nobles and patriarchs of each tribe also admitted that Yu Fuluo was the Shanyu of the Southern Xiongnu. However, he was limited to the name of Shanyu, but he had no power to Shanyu. In this way, Yu Fuluo wandered outside with the name of the Shanyu of the Southern Xiongnu, relied on the original soldiers and horses to fight the family and rob the house, and worked with the Baibo thief, and survived to this day.
The reason why the old Huns agreed to send troops to form an alliance with Yu Fuluo was as Yu Fuluo said. Since the Sili and Xiliang prefectures were pacified by Li Li, hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops entered the border, causing the Southern Huns to suffer difficulties in the past two years, one day getting worse. The most fatal thing is that the Xiliang army sent troops to plunder the Xiongnu tribes all year round. Once any tribe is captured by the Xiliang army, it will be plundered and all people and animals will be taken away, and then a fire will be burned clean.
This is the coldest and most ruthless army that the Southern Huns encountered since the founding of the Han Dynasty. It is completely different from the Han court's polite and kind policy towards the barbarian tribes. This is exactly what the Southern Huns fear the most. Once they lose the autumn hunting that plundered the Han territory, they would not survive the cold winter, without food, and be unable to survive the spring famine. The counties in Bingzhou have long been robbed by them. Most people either fled to other prefectures or hid in cities.
Such a strong and clear-cut situation has forced hundreds of thousands of people from the Southern Xiongnu to a desperate situation. There are many tribes who froze to death in the winter two years ago. Now autumn is coming again, and winter is not far away. This is the third winter. If the tribe cannot grab enough food and cloth, I am afraid that the tribes who died this winter will be several times that of last year, and at least tens of thousands of tribes will not be able to withstand this winter.
The Old King of the Southern Xiongnu was the oldest, oldest and most respected clan leader among the tribes. Seeing that the tribe was in a difficult situation, how could he sit idly? Otherwise, if this situation continues, in another two or three years, the Southern Xiongnu will be completely extinct and hundreds of thousands of tribes will starve to death.
So after receiving the secret letter from Yu Fuluo to send troops together, he was overjoyed and mobilized more than 45,000 most elite combat cavalry from the Southern Xiongnu to send troops to Liangzhou.
At the beginning of the army, the coalition forces advanced rapidly, attacking cities and villages without any disadvantages. This made the Hun Lao Wang so happy that he sent his soldiers to plunder villages and towns. He snatched back whatever useful things are good or bad. He gained a lot in one month, and the materials he stolen were piled up like mountains. The young woman even arrested thousands of people. In addition, the Xiong Lao Wang secretly marveled that Liangzhou had developed rapidly in the past two years and the population grew rapidly. Two years ago, the total population of Beidi County would not exceed 50,000. Now a Beidi County has at least 100,000 people, and most people have surplus grain at home, and many people have good cloth and some scattered money at home.
Because of this, this month's robbery was enough for more than 100,000 Huns to spend a winter. This was just the robbery of the Huns. As for the Xianbei tribe, Qiang tribe and Baibo thieves, he didn't know how many good things they had robbed. However, the coalition forces are still fighting, and all the supplies and women are imprisoned in the rear camp. After the war is over, that is the time to truly share the results of victory.
"Ah!" With a sigh, the old Huns finally looked up and looked at Fuluo and said softly: "Shanyu, I have been wronged over the years. All of this is my fault. In my early years, I was too powerful and greedy for power. If I welcome you back to the tribe and succeed to the throne of Shanyu as soon as possible, my Huns royal court would not be so depressed."
As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but become wet, and two lines of old tears flowed along the ravines on his cheeks, looking extremely guilty.
After insisting on calming himself, the old Huns choked and said, "If you can win this plunder of Liangzhou and I still have my life, I will definitely support you in formal succession to the position of Shanyu and deliver all the tribe troops to you. I will never go back on my word. Please believe it, bang!"
Just as the Huns Old King said the last sentence, a small halberd more than a foot long shot suddenly and slanted. In an instant, Fuluo had been through the battle formation for a long time and reacted very quickly and dodged to avoid it. However, his dodge made the Huns Old King move one by one. The small halberd instantly pierced the Huns Old King's chest, and then the remaining strength did not disappear and pierced into the chest of a personal soldier again.
"Puff——!" The moment the little halberd passed by his chest, the old Huns vomited blood, his pupils rapidly dilated, and signs of life were quickly lost in his body.
"You,,, forgot, it seems that I can't escape this hurdle after all, and I've broken my promise!" The old Huns' king spitted blood and pointed at Yu Fuluo. He wanted to blame Yu Fuluo, but somehow he returned to his mouth and suddenly gave up. After saying the last sentence, the old Huns' king glared with his eyes, tilted his body and fell off his horse and died.
"Uncle!" Yu Fuluo turned over and got off the horse and hugged the body of the Hun Old King, crying in pain, but saw the Hun Old King staring at him with wide eyes, motionless, and bleeding from the corners of his mouth.
It is true that although the old Huns had already died, their blood was not cold. After falling off the horse, they squeezed out the remaining blood stains choked in their throats.
However, this scene scared Yu Fuluo to throw away the body of the Huns Old King, quickly retreated, his face turned pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Clang clang clang-a-ah!"
Just as Yu Fuluo was stunned and lost his mind, the personal soldiers who were guarding the Huns Old King and his own soldiers stepped forward and grabbed Dian Wei who threw a halberd and shot the Huns Old King. Unfortunately, they were not Dian Wei's opponents, as if they were mantis armed with a mantis arm to block the chariot, and they were killed by Dian Wei. Then, just as more than ten personal soldiers came to kill the generals, they saw two powerful generals holding long-handled swords coming out behind Dian Wei. As the swords stormed in the air, more than ten enemy soldiers were cut off by one or two cuts in just a few breaths. Then, Dian Wei and the other three rushed together and rushed straight to Yu Fuluo to kill.
The two generals following Dian Wei were either other people, but were Zhang Liao and Xu Chu.
Zhang Liao was ordered to break through the enemy formation and attack the barbarian camp. If he wanted to break through the enemy formation, he had to defeat Yu Fuluo's central army first, otherwise he would not be able to escape. Moreover, the ambush troops lying on both wings had not yet entered the battlefield, so Zhang Liao could not leave at the moment. Only by breaking through the enemy formation center can he make the next plan.
As for Xu Chu, it was his first time to participate in such a battle, and he was very excited. A nine-ring sword made the tiger and tiger unstoppable, and he killed all directions. Then he came first, killing the generals all the way, catching up with Dian Wei and Zhang Liao who were rushing in front. So three tiger generals killed the enemy side by side, and more than 20,000 war knights behind him were full of energy and rushed to kill. In less than half an hour, he killed 30,000 Xianbei cavalry and fled in all directions.
It was precisely because of the cowardly battle of the Xianbei cavalry that Dian Wei and the other two took advantage of Yu Fuluo and the Huns' Old King to whisper together and headed straight for Yu Fuluo to kill the general. During the slashing and slaughtering, Dian Wei originally thought of throwing a small halberd unexpectedly to kill Yu Fuluo, so that the barbarian army could be destroyed in one battle. Unexpectedly, Yu Fuluo was a man of many battles after all. He was still very alert when talking to the Huns' Old King. He immediately avoided the small halberd, but exposed the Xiongnu Lao Wang on the flight route of the small halberd. So, the Xiongnu Lao Wang, who was repenting and blaming himself, became Yu Fuluo's scapegoat, and was penetrated by the small halberd, and died immediately.
"Kill it——"
Just as Dian Wei, Zhang Liao and Xu Chu were fiercely rushing to Yu Fuluo's personal soldiers and trying to kill Yu Fuluo, there was a shout of killing sound in the sky from the rear of the barbarian army. Immediately, Hu Cheer led 10,000 Jinqiu Guards to kill the generals from behind the left wing of the barbarian army, while Cao Xing, Liang Xing and other generals led more than 30,000 county government soldiers to attack the right wing of the barbarian army. In addition, 5,000 crossbowmen under Cao Xing occupied the hillside to the west, set up large crossbows, and shot the barbarian army's combat cavalry. Thousands of crossbowmen left their bows and shot them. They found that they were tenacious and rushed to the place. The archers of their crossbow camp did not shoot at random arrows, but were precisely shot with targets. Almost every arrow could take the life of a barbarian soldier, and the arrows were shot without any false.
