Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

"Two thousand young athletes?" Murong Chui's expression darkened.

In addition to his children and family members, if he had known that paying tribute would cause so many troubles, Murong Chui wished he could slap himself in the face.

"Humph, in my opinion, we should simply unite with Fu Jian, Huan Wen, and the Grand Governor to attack the Central Plains together!" Among the four Lan brothers, Lan Han was the most irritable and disliked Liang the most.

The harvest of this western expedition was far more than the memorials reported to Yecheng.

Henan has been thriving for two to three hundred years, and it is no longer what it used to be.

Murong Chui captured 3 young men and more than [-] war horses. His strength increased dramatically. In the eyes of many people, he was fully capable of fighting in a battle.

"Yes, Li Yue was just a bandit in Heiyun Mountain back then. The general now occupies a prosperous place with tens of thousands of elites under his command. He no longer has to succumb to the Liang people!" Lan Di said fiercely.

"The alliance did not happen overnight. The governor-general's strength in Liaodong has not yet been restored. Fu Jian and we turned against each other. We had previously joined forces with Huan Wen in the northern expedition to Guanzhong, but Huan Wen was unmoved. They were all afraid of the power of the Liang people. At this time, we must not fight against the Liang people. The country has turned against itself." Chief Shi Gaobi glanced at the Lan brothers.

Murong Chui's attack on Tiefu's tribe had already affected Fu Jian's interests.

It is simply impossible to unite with him again.

Since the demise of Jie Zhao, all capricious people will not end well.

Although Fu Jian was young, he was scheming and would never fight against Liang Guo for Taiyuan.

"Here! Two thousand young men and their families will be sent to Yecheng in three days!" There was not much anger on Murong Chui Xiongyi's face.

"General!"

The four Lan brothers were dumbfounded. They did not go to Murong Chui just to endure this bad breath.

"My lord is wise!" Gao Bi handed over his hand.

"No one in the Central Plains can be trusted. I think you are clearly a workmanship of the Liang people!"

With a "clang" sound, Lan Han pulled out the Huanshou knife and placed it on Gao Bi's neck.

Gao Bi was indifferent and didn't even blink. He was falsely accused by the Kezu Hun clan and imprisoned. He suffered all kinds of torture but still refused to betray him. How could he be afraid of Lan Han's bluff?

"That's enough." Murong Chui raised his eyes, as if there were thousands of troops in his eyes.

Lan Han's whole body trembled, and the knife in his hand relaxed.

Gao Bi was as calm as ever.

Murong Chui asked everyone in a calm tone: "What if I don't give it? Can you stop the hundreds of thousands of black cloud troops from Daijun, Shangdang and Hedong from attacking from three sides?"

In fact, he didn't have much choice at all.

The three counties in his hands were all under the condescending attack of Liang Jun. One Shangdang strangled Taiyuan, and there was Daijun next to him.

Wherever Murong Chuang looked, everyone bowed their heads.

The situation is not up to anyone, let alone fighting with Liang Guo, even if they face Fu Jian, it will be difficult for them to resist.

"After this, won't we never get ahead?" Lan Jian felt unwilling.

"If Li Yue can sweep through all the wastelands and dominate the world, what's the problem for me, Murong Chui, to recognize him as my master?" Murong Chui's eyes deepened.

Although the Liang Kingdom is strong, it still has a long way to go before it can unify the world, and it cannot be achieved within a few years.

Didn't Fu Hong and Yao Yizhong, the heroes of that time, submit to the Stone Tiger?
And Murong Chui is only thirty this year, he can afford to wait!
"Destiny has its own destiny, misfortunes and blessings are unpredictable. How can we know that today's loss will not be tomorrow's gain? Taiyuan is sandwiched between countries. Only by worshiping powerful countries can it continue." Gao Bi said slowly.At the same time, Tuoba Shi Yijian in Shengle City, Yunzhong County was furious.

"Thirty thousand war horses and five thousand talented young men? Why didn't he come to snatch them?"

Just a few days ago, Tuoba Shiyijian held a grand gathering of burning firewood to offer sacrifices to heaven. He invited powerful chiefs from various tribes in Monan and sent people to publicize it everywhere, for fear that others would not know that he had won a great victory.

In the past few years, Tuoba Shiyijian had not been going well, but this battle had given him a bad breath, and he had regained a bit of the feeling of being the overlord of the grasslands.

Unexpectedly, when he was getting ready, Liang Guo came to extort money.

But even though he knew it was blackmail, Tuoba Shi Yijian still had to respectfully send Ambassador Liang back...

"Envoy Liang said... If you don't comply, Lord Liang will bring 20 troops to come in person..." Yan Feng said quietly.

Tuoba Shi Yijian sat back on the bed and groaned twice, "Do you really want to send him off? Isn't this trip of yours in vain?"

"The king and Lord Liang are the son-in-law, and they still have feelings for each other. It's better to send someone to intercede. It doesn't matter if you have three thousand horses and five hundred athletes. You can also cover it up by sending some subordinates."

"This time the cover-up is over, what about next time?" Tuoba Shi Yijian looked sad.

We don’t dare to fight. With the current situation in the world, who dares to provoke Liang Guo, who is at the height of his power?
Last year, they defeated Yan State and captured Youzhou. Liang Jun had shown his strength to the world. Murong Ke retreated to Liaodong, Murong Chui willingly acted as a pawn, and Fu Jian was respectful...

Tuoba Shi Yijian still knew how much he weighed. It was not a big problem to deal with the savages on the grassland, but against Liang Guo, he was trembling in his heart.

During the battle at Sanzangkou, Wang Meng beat him so violently that he almost couldn't come back, leaving a shadow in his heart.

"Liang Guo lives in the Central Plains and has already proclaimed himself emperor. He is at odds with Jiangdong. Huan Wen's Northern Expedition is imminent. Once Huan Wen sends out troops, Fu Jian will not sit idly by. The situation in China is just like that of the Three Kingdoms in the past. Liang Guo has not yet reached the point where he can cover the sky with one hand. There will always be Opportunity. Back then, Wei Wuxiong had a rough strategy, and there was also the defeat of Chibi. His Highness just had to wait for the opportunity, defend in the south and attack in the north, and capture Rouran to enrich himself." Yanfeng planned a long-term strategy.

Unexpectedly, Tuoba Shi Yijian looked disgusted.

Both the Murong family and the Tuoba family admired Han culture and actively went south, but they despised their compatriots on the grasslands.

Calling Rouran people of the same origin and species human beings as creeping...

A worm is a worm.

Tuoba Xian despised him as an insect that couldn't think.

One is that they are disgusted with their low intelligence, and the other is that they are dirty. Their people do not wash their clothes, do not tie their hair, do not wash their hands, and women lick their utensils.

Yueban Kingdom of the Western Region once led his troops to attack Rouran through the Jinshan Mountains. He first sent an envoy to understand the situation. However, he was numbed by the customs of the Rouran people and ran away. King Yueban said to his subordinate: "You Cao is lying. Me, put me into this dog country.”

The Tuoba family has been actively Chinese-Chinese since their ancestor, Tuoba, was young. They have close relatives in the clan, study and practice martial arts, and travel to the Central Plains, just like the Central Plains.

The Rouran people captured during this war all became slaves.

"The Liang Lord innovated things in Guandong and changed customs, so that he could be as strong as he is today. Fu Jian also promoted great enlightenment in Guanzhong. Your Majesty can also follow suit. Rouran was born in a bitter and cold land, and he is fierce and good at fighting. If he can be taken as a minion, he will be able to fight with The kingdoms of Zhongxia are fighting against each other." Yanfeng coaxed Tuoba Shi Yijian like a child.

Tuoba Shi Yijian's expression suddenly changed, but looking around, Murong Chui, Fu Jian, and Li Yue were all more cruel than the last, and the only one he could bully was the squirming in his mouth, "That's all, just follow what Mr. said!"

"Your Highness is wise!" Yanfeng wiped the sweat from his forehead. It is not easy to serve this person.

　The name "Xiaowei" originated from Tuoba Tao, Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty. He believed that the people of the Rouran tribe had low intelligence, so he mocked them as worms who couldn't think. He ordered the soldiers and civilians across the country to rename Rouran as "Xiaowei" in an insulting way.

　　Due to the needs of the plot, it was rewritten in advance and there was no need to do any research.
