Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 767 Old Thief

The sea city where Tuoba Shi Yijian is located is not too far from White Wolf City.

If it is a sunny season, it will take two or three days to reach the destination.

However, Tuoba Shiyijian is obviously not in the mood to worry about the south. This time, Daliang launched an all-round counterattack on the grassland from the Western Region to Liaodong, severely damaging the grassland tribes and fleeing to Beihai, with less than 50,000 men and horses.

"Why did I lose?" Tuoba Shi Yijian has never been able to figure this out.

It is said that the grassland is so vast that Liang Jun seems to have clairvoyance and can always accurately find the grasslands where various tribes hide.

Knife after knife was slaughtered, and the country of Dai continued to weaken.

"In these years, the Liang Kingdom recruited Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuhuan soldiers, scouted all over the grasslands, and bribed various tribes with heavy sums of money...to achieve today's situation." Yanfeng is talented, but he is always slow to respond to others.

This war started five years ago, and now we are just reaping the results.

"Father, don't worry too much. It's difficult for the Central Plains people to establish a foothold on the grassland. They can resume their old tribe next spring and summer." Tuoba Han said with cupped hands.

As soon as he saw this heroic son, Tuoba Shi Yijian's eyes became much gentler, "Liang Jun has arrived at White Wolf City, who is willing to go and find out for me?"

But as soon as he came out of the tent, his eyes widened. The three hundred men assigned to him were all old and weak. They were wearing pieces of broken armor and carrying rusty swords and spears in their hands. The horses were as weak as humans. They were in the north wind. Shivering.

"Five thousand people, why do you need to go? Three hundred people, go and come back quickly." Tuoba Shi Yijian became more and more disgusted with this eldest son. He looked rough and majestic, but in fact he was as timid as a mouse. The two brothers Tuoba Han and Tuoba Shi were completely different from each other.

Every time his words always aroused Tuoba Shijun's anger, "Those are the rules of you Central Plains people. There are no such rules in the grassland!"

"My son is willing to go!" Tuoba Han did his duty.

"Three hundred people..." Tuoba Shijun swallowed, suspecting that Tuoba Shiyijian was taking the opportunity to get rid of him.

"I can't say one day His Majesty will wake up..."

The weather is extremely cold, and the Daiguo scouts cannot go far. I wonder what the situation in White Wolf City is now.

"If you teach your ministers to die, I have to die. Your Highness must never do anything unkind and unjust." Yang Lue emerged from the crowd with a flattering smile on his face, "Your Majesty is the king's father, and Your Highness is his minister."

The two talked as they walked.

"My son, I accept the order." Lord Tuoba Shi agreed bravely.

Tuoba Shijun looked back at the golden tent that symbolized the power of the country, and the resentment in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

Feeling his father's gaze, Tuoba Shijun looked at Tuoba Jin aside.

The two people exchanged glances, which made Tuoba Shi Yijian irritated, "The eldest son leaves me, and the youngest son guards the household. This has been the case since ancient times."

Tuoba Shijun and Tuoba Jin were getting closer and closer, and they kept wooing other powerful chiefs, which had already aroused Tuoba Shi Yijian's fear.

Besides, it was just a sentinel mission, so why should he go there in person on behalf of the eldest son of the country?

For this reason, Lord Tuoba Shi had no choice but to stand up and said, "I would like to lead five thousand riders to see what's going on."

"Huh?" Tuoba Shi Yijian looked over with cold eyes.

Even the Xianbei people who can tolerate the bitter cold cannot stand this kind of weather. If the wind and snow fall suddenly, those who go out may not be able to come back.

"My son is brave, but I lack support around me." Tuoba Shi Yijian turned his eyes to Tuoba Shijun, who was silent at the side.

"Bah, if the old thief doesn't die, I will be the one who dies!" Tuoba Shijun could no longer control his emotions.

Before winter, Tuoba Shi Yijian had made Tuoba Han's biological mother Murong the queen.

This is an extremely clear signal.

The seal was granted, and Tuoba Shijun was insulted many times because he was born as a slave. "Your Highness... you must not fight with each other. Your Highness alone is not your Majesty's enemy." Yang Lue looked loyal.

Tuoba Shijun was stunned, "You are still very resourceful, go and invite Tuoba Jin!"

"What else are you asking for? Your Highness will definitely not be able to come back when he leaves the city this time!" Tuoba Jin happened to arrive.

The two are now grasshoppers on a rope.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"What else can we do? Either he dies or you die. Is there any way out? We have already made the queen, and the next step is to make the prince. Once the title is justified, will there be a place for you in the country?" Tuoba Jin pressed his hand. hilt.

Both of their eyes turned to Yang Lue at the same time.

Yang Lue looked cowardly, "This is a treasonous act. It's better to hit the sun than to choose another day. Today, while your majesty... is unprepared, why not run away and leave this place of right and wrong?"

These words reminded the two of them that there was almost no defense in the city.

Raising an army to rebel is all about suddenness.

"Yes, it's better to choose the day than to hit it. Take action now and catch the old thief off guard!" Tuoba Shijun gritted his teeth.

"Okay, in one hour, you and I will attack the big tent with our followers at the same time. We must not show mercy!" Tuoba Jin was more eager than Tuoba Shijun. He wanted to regain everything he had lost.

In less than half an hour, Lord Tuoba Shi had gathered more than a thousand people.

Having served as the southern leader for many years, there are still many people who support him.

If Tuoba Shi Yijian hadn't transferred his confidants away during this period, he could have gathered even more people.

"Your Highness, the night has been long and there have been many dreams. Without further ado, I should quickly apologize to Your Majesty. Why should father and son fight each other?" Yang Lue said with a sad face.

Tuoba Shijun rolled his eyes several times, "Are you saying that in the name of asking for forgiveness, we should take action first without waiting for Tuoba Jin?"

"I don't dare, that's not what I meant." Yang Lue shook his head repeatedly in denial.

But Lord Tuoba Shi was in high spirits and his eyes were red, how could he give up?

"You are right. The nights are long and there are many dreams. It is not too late to start the army immediately. If you have any other evil ideas, tell me. When the matter is completed, I will make you the prime minister!"

"I...have absolutely no intention of doing so. If Your Highness wants to escape, it would be better to set fire to the city and create chaos..." Yang Lue hesitated.

Tuoba Shijun slapped his thigh and said, "Great kindness! Hahaha, you people in the Central Plains still have evil hearts and vicious hands, but you always talk about benevolence, justice and morality."

Yang Lue covered his face with his hands, "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed... I read books from sages..."

"Don't worry, I won't forget your merits. When you are done, I will make you the prime minister." Tuobajun immediately divided more than two hundred people and asked them to set fires and create chaos. The rest of them held sharp swords and quietly wait.

In a moment, a fire broke out in the city, black smoke billowed, and people everywhere shouted that the Liang people were coming to kill.

The Xianbei people were driven all the way from Yundai to Beihai by the Liang army. They were frightened early. When they heard that the Liang people were coming to kill, there was a chaos, with people and horses running around and trampling on each other.

Tuoba Shijun rubbed the back of his head, wondering how two hundred people could make such a big noise.

Yang Lue cupped his hands and said: "If Your Highness can't bear it, it's not too late to apologize to Your Majesty now. A tiger's poison will not eat its own children, so why should this be like this between father and son?"

Tuoba Shijun's expression immediately became determined, "Hmph, have you forgotten that Shi Hu once tortured and killed his own children and grandchildren? If I don't kill the old thief today, the old thief will kill me!"

After that, he rushed towards Tuoba Shi Yijian's royal tent with his sword in hand.
