Chapter 594 Strong General?Kill God?
After Tuo Batao learned that the Yellow River was frozen, in just three days, he withdrew [-] troops and went south at a rapid speed.

In the first battle against Rouran, Tuo Batao won a complete victory with the tactics of quick battle and quick decision, so now he believes in the style of fighting with high speed.

For Tuoba Tao, instead of sitting in the palace and waiting for more troops to be mobilized and prepared, Tuoba Tao is more willing to personally lead the Qingqi raid.

Another reason why Tuo Batao firmly believes that he can string together candied haws in four towns in Henan with a mere [-] troops is that he has recently acquired a new general.

When this fierce general named Ahura joined the army, he brought his own people with him.They claim to be nomadic tribes west of Beiliang.Because of the disaster in the place where he lived and being driven away by the people of Beiliang, he came to the Northern Wei Dynasty to join the army to find a way to survive.

Originally, this Ahura and his people did not receive much attention in the Northern Wei army.After all, their backgrounds abound in Zhenxi Army.The army is miscellaneous and has a low status.So even in the Zhenxi Army, their tribe was sent to do the hardest work at the beginning.

It is very common for recruits to be suppressed by veterans, but this Ahura refused to even put on a show, and led his clansmen to quit.

It's not uncommon to see thorns in the army, but there are not many like them who don't leave a way out.

At that time, Tuoba Tao was mobilizing troops from various armies to surround Rouran, and Ahura's tribe was undoubtedly isolated by the leader of the army.A single tribe of less than a hundred people blocked the route of the Rouran people, like a stone waiting to be washed away by the flood.There was no doubt that they were going to die.

But when the war was over, when Tuo Batao led people to chase Rouran's deserters, he saw a scene like Shura's hell.

It's not surprising that there are corpses everywhere on the battlefield... It's just that the death conditions here are extremely tragic, and there are rarely whole corpses.The blood of the dead flowed like a river.

No matter how hot the blood was, it eventually lost its power in front of the tribe, and was split in two by a mountain of corpses.

And Ahura stood on the top of the corpse mountain and looked at Tuoba Tao who was passing by.The hands and feet on the outside of the corpse mountain like dead branches under the corpse mountain are the only proof that they were once living people.

The military merits of the Northern Wei Dynasty were counted by killing the enemy.You need to kill [-] enemies in the first turn of military merit, and double it in the second turn.And Ahura alone, in this battle alone, directly took rank six military merits.

This is not counting those whose heads were smashed, or whose bodies were separated... In the end, no one knew how many people Ahura had killed in this battle.

Military merit means the spoils that each soldier can be allocated, so those who can survive the battlefield count their heads every penny.But neither Ahura nor his people seem to care about the amount of spoils.It seems that killing is their main purpose.

And among those countless broken corpses, Rouran was not the only one.And the whole thousand-man team to which the Ahura tribe belonged.Everyone thought that this thousand-man team was killed by the retreating Rouran people, leaving only Ahura and his family to fight to the end.

But when the people who cleaned the battlefield arrived, they were surprised to find that the thousand-man team from the Northern Wei Dynasty died worse than the people from Rouran.Every corpse seemed to be divided by five horses.

After the war, according to the rules, the bodies of the dead soldiers should be buried.The soldiers who were in charge of cleaning the battlefield had no choice but to assemble some of them together and bury them hastily.It's just that after that battle, when people in the army saw Ahura's tribe, they instinctively hid away.I just feel that those hundred people are breathing with death.

Originally, with Ahura's military achievements, it was no doubt that he was promoted to be a commander.But he directly refused, saying that he was only willing to take his own people and become a forward team independently.

Tuoba Tao felt strange when he heard about this, there are still people in this world who are not greedy for military merit.But when you think about capable people, they often have ideas that are difficult for ordinary people to understand.Since Ahura didn't want to lead the army, he didn't force it. After all, even if he looked at the entire Northland, he might not be able to find another tribe of such brave warriors.

It's just that Tuoba Tao also has doubts about Ahura and the others.First, with their fighting power, it is absolutely impossible for them to be driven away by the people of Beiliang without the power to fight back.The second is that this tribe said that the whole tribe came to join the army, but except for Ahura, all of these hundred people were young men.There are no old people, let alone women and children.

And the one who puzzled Tuoba Tao the most was Ahura himself.Tuoba Tao once said a few words to him.When he spoke, not only did he not have the humility that he should have when he met a king, but he even had a bit of domineering arrogance.He obviously looks like a middle-aged man with a strong physique, but the words he uses when he speaks are quite old-fashioned.

One year later, Tuoba Tao still felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet when he recalled the moment when Ahura looked at him on the mountain of corpses.It was as if his own life was as insignificant as an ant in the eyes of this Ahura.

If it were any other emperor, no matter how great his military exploits were, Ahura would not escape death.But he was facing Tuoba Tao.Tuoba Tao has always favored brave people.Even if it is an addict like He Lianchang, he is willing to take a high look.Therefore, there is no disagreement with Ahura's request.

After the army set off, Ahura led his tribe on horseback at the forefront of the team.Tuoba Tao could only occasionally see the back of Ahura riding a horse from the gaps in the team.The more he looked at it, the more he felt that Ahura's aura resembled the same person, but he couldn't remember who he looked like for a while.

Tuoba Tao originally wanted to take the opportunity to observe Ahura for a few more days, so as to decide whether to reuse him.As a result, on the second day of the expedition, Ahura suddenly disappeared.

Tuoba Tao had been sending people to keep an eye on Ahura, and when he received the news, he immediately called Ahura's people to question him.

The brought young man bowed slightly to Tuoba Tao as if he had knelt down, and then replied blankly: "The patriarch found out that the army was followed by a spy, so he went after him alone. The patriarch said that there is no need to wait for him, he will go I will go back."

"Secret work?" Tuoba Tao thought he heard it wrong, "Your tribe belongs to the Qianfeng camp, not the spy camp. If you find out the secret work, it should be handled by the spies in the army. Why did Ahura go by himself?"

The young man's face was still stagnant, "I have no right to intervene in the patriarch's affairs. If your majesty has any questions, you can ask the patriarch himself after the patriarch returns."

Tuoba Tao might be able to tolerate Ahura's careless respect for him, but he would definitely not allow a kid from the Hu tribe to speak rudely to him.Just as he was about to get angry, he saw someone rushing forward to report, and was stopped by Tuoba Tao's guards far away.

Tuoba Tao nodded, and the man was able to kneel down on one knee, clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, for some reason, none of the spies sent by the general to explore the road have returned since last night. I am afraid that there are ambushes nearby. Your Majesty is also requested to suspend the march. Wait for the final general to find out before making a decision."

Tuoba Tao frowned fiercely, and his eyes fell on Ahura's clansman like an eagle, "You said that your patriarch went to hunt down the spy? Did he say where the spy was from?"

The young man didn't answer, just stood motionless like a log.

The spies who can block their own routes so neatly, such a method, can never be done by Song Jun's group of wimps.

Tuoba Tao suddenly realized something, and immediately sent an order: "Hurry up and send someone to find out if there is any movement in Xiqin today!"
