Father Tang looked at his Wubao with reluctance and couldn't help complaining: "My son, my son, based on your friendship with Commander Lu, how could it be our turn to build and guard the tomb outside the Great Wall?"

When Tang Shigui heard this, he smiled and said: "Father, I am now a direct deacon of Nanyang. Naturally, there is no need for me to repair tombs and guard the tombs. I took the initiative to apply for transfer. I am responsible for supervising the tombs of those aristocratic families, and I am an official."

Father Tang glared at his son and said angrily: "If you want to be an official, then you can be an official. Why do you want to move the whole family to the outside of the Great Wall? Don't want the family's fields and the business here?"

Tang Shigui said nonchalantly: "If the son lived outside the Great Wall for a long time, he thought that his father would definitely be reluctant to leave his son, so he took his father with him."

When Father Tang heard this, he was so angry that he blew his beard: "You have suffered in the past, and I don't want to follow you there!"

"It won't work if I don't go there. I have already applied for family relocation." Tang Shigui said seriously: "My son has set an example!"

"Hey..." Father Tang sighed and said resentfully, "Why did I give birth to an unfilial son like you and abandon all the inheritance of my ancestors!"

Tang Shigui smiled and said, "Father, please don't be angry. Marshal Lu is a true immortal alive. We are here to build his tomb and guard it. Could it be that he will treat us badly in the future? This is creating an immortal bond for future generations!"

After hearing this, Father Tang finally stopped complaining and listened quietly to his son's words.

Tang Shigui paused and continued: "Father, you have taught your son since he was a child that you must take a long-term view and not just focus on the present. In order to give the family a better future, your son decided to move outside the Great Wall."

"Although Nanyang is prosperous, it is still far behind compared with Luoyang. And now Lu Shuai wants the world's rich and powerful people to build a great tomb for him outside the Great Wall. In the future, that place will definitely be a capital several times more prosperous than Luoyang. .”

"With his status as a son, there was no need to apply, but my son saw that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he applied without hesitation."

"Don't worry, father. The suffering is only temporary and the days will get better and better."

"Besides, where is the best place to do business? Beyond the Great Wall, business will be even better. This is a good opportunity to make a fortune!"

After listening to Tang Shigui's words, Tang's father finally accepted this fact.

He nodded, but still asked with some doubts: "What should we do if the barbarians outside the wall attack?"

This issue is also a concern of many aristocratic families.

"Father is overly worried!" Tang Shigui said with a smile: "When Taiping Dao was trying to pacify the world, they beat up the barbarians. Now that we have decided to build a big tomb outside the Great Wall, we naturally have to take good care of these barbarians!"

……

Last August.

Liu Hong once took the name of Xianbei who invaded the fortress and plundered border counties for many years.

He ordered Xia Yu, the Wuhuan captain who was protecting Wuhuan, to defeat the Xianbei Zhonglang general Tian Yan and the Xiongnu Zhonglang general Zang Min, each with more than 10,000 cavalry. They left the fortress from Gaoliu, Yunzhong County and Yanmen County respectively, and attacked Xianbei in three groups.

The Han army marched more than 2,000 miles out of the fortress. Xianbei leader Tan Shihuai ordered the eastern, central and western divisions to fight separately and defeated the Han army.

Xia Yu and other troops lost all their supplies, and seventy-eight out of ten soldiers died. Three of them each fled back with dozens of cavalry.

After that, Xianbei's military strength became stronger and the Han Dynasty was not taken seriously at all.

Having heard about the civil strife in the Han Dynasty and the Taiping Dao uprising, Tan Shihuai realized that this was a good opportunity and prepared to go south to plunder.

As a result, the civil strife in the Han Dynasty was quickly put down. Before they could take action, they were repelled by the Yellow Turban Army.

Regarding this incident, Tan Shihuai held a grudge and was always looking for an opportunity to take revenge!

However, just recently, Tan Shihuai heard news, news that surprised him very much.

On the Han side, the rebel leader who had successfully usurped power actually planned to build a large tomb outside the fortress, and even moved a large family from all over the world to build and guard his tomb!

As soon as this decree was issued, the world was instantly excited!

Aristocratic families everywhere were protesting and rebelling, and it could be said that they were making a fuss.

This situation amused Tan Shihuai.

Building a large tomb outside the Great Wall is a wild idea. Who would want to build a tomb here?

You actually want those aristocratic families to come over and build the tomb? This is even more ridiculous! Among those wealthy and powerful families, who is willing to come outside the Great Wall to build and guard your tomb?

It would be strange not to make a fuss.

"Go ahead and continue to cause chaos. When your tomb is repaired, I will bring my soldiers and horses over to destroy it directly and let you build the tomb on my site."

Tan Shihuai took a bite of the lamb leg and chewed it slowly, like a tiger eating.

In his tent, there were several beauties waiting on him, including tribal women and captured Han women.

As the overlord of the grassland, Tanshihuai unified all Xianbei tribes twenty years ago and established a vast country outside the Great Wall.

This is a Xianbei empire that stretches from Lake Baikal to the north, the Hetao region to the south, the Altai Mountains to the west, and the Greater Khingan Range to the east.

After unification, Xianbei began to attack the border areas of Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Liangzhou of the Han Dynasty year after year.

With the continuous invasion, countless people were killed and supplies were looted in the Han Dynasty.

The rise of Xianbei actually has something to do with the Han Dynasty.

Since the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty decided not to make peace with the Huns, but chose to fight to the death with the Xiongnu, directly crippling the Xiongnu.

Under such circumstances, the Xianbei people began to gradually get rid of the slave-like control of the Huns.

As early as the period of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty, Xianbei united with Wuhuan, Dingling, Southern Xiongnu and other countries in the Western Regions to attack the Northern Xiongnu, and the Northern Xiongnu was defeated.

After that, the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Southern Huns defeated the Northern Huns again, and the Northern Huns were forced to move to Central Asia.

In this way, there was a vacuum period of rule in the Mongolian grassland. The Xianbei people discovered this golden opportunity, so they crossed the Greater Khingan Mountains to occupy the Mongolian grassland and became the new owners of this land.

Power abhors a vacuum. When the Xiongnu completely declined, Xianbei followed the trend and rose.

At this moment, Tan Shihuai was sitting directly above the camp, and there were several soldiers below who were drinking and eating meat, and everyone was discussing important matters together.

At this moment, someone entered the camp and reported: "Khan! A family of Han people in the Central Plains has sent an envoy over, hoping to unite with you to attack the Han!"

When Tan Shihuai heard this, his eyes flashed with gold: "Let him come over!"

"Yes!"

Not long after, a Han messenger came to the camp.

Feeling those wolf-like eyes, the messenger's legs felt a little weak, and he quickly saluted and said: "On behalf of my family master, I have met the overlord on the grassland, the respected Khan. I am here to express..."    Tan Listening to the trivial nonsense, Shi Huai frowned and said impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense to me. I don't have that much time to listen to your nonsense. If you want to cooperate, then show your sincerity!"

Although the overlord on the grassland was getting older, his aura did not weaken at all, but became even more terrifying. These words at this moment scared the messenger to the ground and immediately caused ridicule from the soldiers in the camp.

"Weak and incompetent Han people, you alone want to cooperate with us?"

"The Han people are indeed a bunch of weak two-legged sheep!"

"You weakling, get out of here!"

"Hahaha, don't pee here!"

Tan Shihuai listened to the voices of the people under his command and waved his hand to make them stop laughing.

The messenger who collapsed on the ground hesitated for a moment and said, "If we successfully drive out those yellow scarf thieves, my master is willing to share the country equally with you!"

When Tan Shihuai heard this condition, he narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "This condition is very tempting, but it is just a condition and it is not enough to show your sincerity. I said, if you want to cooperate, then come up with something It’s your sincerity that matters!”

"We will arrange internal responses and give you the corresponding map, as well as the secrets of the Yellow Turban Thief of Taiping Road!" the messenger said quickly.

Hearing this, Tan Shihuai asked casually: "What is the secret of those yellow scarf thieves?"

Tan Shihuai knew a lot about things in the Central Plains. Those rebels could take over the entire Han Dynasty so quickly, so they naturally had their own methods and secrets.

There were even rumors that the big man had a living true immortal. This news really made him stupid.

But when he understood the religious nature of the Yellow Turban Army, he realized that it was just propaganda by the Han people.

Now the messenger, listening to the question, raised his head and answered: "Firearms!"

"Firearm? What is that?" Tan Shihuai couldn't help but continue to ask.

"This thing is triggered by gunpowder, sounds like muffled thunder, and is very powerful. It is the main basis for the yellow turban thieves to attack the city." The messenger explained.

"Gunpowder..." Tan Shihuai thought for a moment, then asked, "Then did you bring this?"

"No." The messenger shook his head.

"Then you are just talking nonsense?" Tan Shihuai sneered.

"But this is absolutely true!" the messenger said quickly.

Tan Shihuai shook his head and said nothing.

Seeing this, several soldiers sneered: "What kind of firearm can be as useful as a bow and arrow?"

"It is said that the Han people like to exaggerate, and it is true!"

"It sounds like muffled thunder and is so powerful? How could there be such a weapon in this world?"

"Nonsense! I see you have no sincerity at all!!"

At this moment, several muffled thunders sounded out of thin air, followed by explosions that echoed throughout the sky.

Tan Shihuai, who was still thinking about it, couldn't help but widen his eyes and said in shock: "What is going on?!"

Soon, a warrior entered the camp and reported: "Khan! The caravans that came with this messenger were all disguised as Han troops! They ignited something, like thunder from the sky, flames shooting out, and the camp was in chaos!!"

Tan Shihuai reacted quickly and shouted directly: "Don't panic, give me the order to kill all these Han troops! Kill them with me!"

"As for you traitor, I will settle the score with you later!!"

Tan Shihuai looked at the messenger and said fiercely.

at this time.

When the originally weak and incompetent messenger heard this, his eyes suddenly became firm, and he stood up at some point. Facing the wolf-like gazes around him, his back straightened.

The messenger looked at Tan Shihuai, the overlord of the grassland, without showing any signs of weakness, and said word for word: "Anyone who openly offends the powerful Han will be punished no matter how far away he is! The heavenly army is coming, and you barbarians will not die soon!!"

"You?!" Tan Shihuai realized that he had fallen into a trap, but he did not intend to kill the messenger on the spot. He sneered and said, "I will lock him up. I want to see what kind of heavenly soldiers can kill me." !”

...

The total number of caravans that came to trade this time was only a few hundred, and they were all elites from the Nanyang family in disguise, and many of them were Lu Yu's soldiers.

Among them, the person leading the team was Lu Yu’s personal soldier captain Shen Tumeng!

These people were equipped with flintlock guns, a few thunderbolts, and even a dozen artillery pieces. In addition, there were many explosive bags. They were fully armed.

Taking advantage of the transaction, they suddenly went on a killing spree and used explosive packs to cause destruction everywhere, causing chaos in the Tanshihuai camp.

At this moment, he was trapped in a tight siege, but he didn't panic at all. Instead, he looked excited.

Shentu said loudly: "Brothers, please calm down and cooperate with each other. We must hold on until General Wei's army arrives!"

"Here!!" Everyone responded one after another.

Ever since Lu Yu decided to build a great tomb outside the Great Wall to defeat the barbarians, his plan was put on the agenda, and a series of plans began to unfold!

at the same time.

Tan Shihuai saw that the Han army only had such a small number of people, and he immediately roared: "Warriors of the grassland, these Han troops are only a few hundred people, how can we let them show off their power in our hinterland?!"

"Let me crush them!"

"kill--!!!"

The order was conveyed, and immediately the prairie warriors rushed over one by one.

These are all the elites under Tan Shihuai.

However, with several rounds of flintlock volleys and the explosion of thunder, these warriors who rushed over were all shot and killed on the spot!

Tan Shihuai, who saw this scene with his own eyes, couldn't help but be stunned and couldn't believe his eyes!

"What...what is this??!"
