King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 777 Mastering the Huns (4)

"You... Qubei!" Old Tiefu pointed at Qubei in surprise, and Qubei walked forward slowly, with his head held high and his chest held high, glaring at Old Tiefu.

Old Tiefu understood that from the very beginning, Qubei had already ruled him. Whether he cooperated with the Han people or forced himself to abdicate, Qubei, his eldest son is no longer the honest boy he used to be. Now, he Only then is he more qualified to take his place, the old Tiefu shook his body, walked out slowly, and arrived at the side of Lankao who was already dead, slowly hugged Lankao in his arms, and gently stroked Lankao cheek.

No one in the crowd disturbed the old Tiefu, but their eyes kept following the leader who was now in decline. Looking at Lankao's face, the old Tiefu said slowly: "Okay! From today on, the leader of the Tiefu department, I will I will leave it to you! But..." Old Tiefu slowly raised his head, glaring at Qubei, his eyes were already blood red, he gritted his teeth, and said viciously: "But you have to remember Stop, you leader, you killed your own brother and forced your father to death with your own hands!"

"What?" Everyone was shocked, Li Lin suddenly reacted, and shouted: "Not good!"

But it was too late, the old Tiefu suddenly pulled out his own self-defense dagger from his arms, and stabbed hard at his heart.

"No!" Qubei screamed, and what he saw was the ferocious face of the old Tiefu, "Don't! Don't!" All the elders shouted out one after another, but the old Tiefu had already fallen down slowly, dying. He didn't let go of his son, Lankao, in his arms.

"Crack!" It seemed that a bolt of lightning had struck Qubei in front of him. Qubei watched his father commit suicide in front of his eyes. Why, even if he took his father's position, his father would not die in front of him. In front of my eyes, why?Did he just make his father hate him so much?Why?Is it just because I become the leader that you object?In the end, you still want to hit yourself with your own death, you can't figure it out, you can't figure it out!
Going to stare blankly at the two people who have died in front of them, his biological father and his half-brother, just because of his return, he died just like that. one day!Qubei shook his body slightly, feeling a little dazed.

Li Lin, who was on the side, saw Qubei's state, and quickly helped Qubei, turned Qubei over, facing himself, shook Qubei's shoulder, and shouted: "Qubei! Qubei!" Qubei There was no reaction, and I was still immersed in my own thoughts...

"Slap!" To everyone's surprise, Li Lin raised his slap and slapped Qubei hard on the face, shouting "Go! Go!"

Qu Bei was slapped by Li Lin with such a big mouth. He reacted a little bit and looked into Li Lin's eyes in a daze. Who are you! Who are you?"

There was a twinkle in Qubei's eyes, and Li Lin shouted: "You are a wolf! You are a wolf head! Do you still remember! You are a wolf head!"

"Langtou! I'm Langtou!" Qubei muttered a few words, "Qubei!" Li Lin shouted here.

"Ah!" Qu Bei suddenly howled, shouting: "I am a wolf! A wolf!"

"Huh!" Li Lin breathed a sigh of relief and murmured, "Okay! It's all right!"

On the side, Brother Bao, Kavro and the others subconsciously touched their faces, and Brother Bao muttered: "Next time, don't dare to be in a daze in front of the boss!"

Qubei looked at the two corpses on the ground, raised his head slowly, and finally recovered his sanity. Whatever he does, he doesn't understand his father, but he still has things to do, let time prove himself, prove that he is the most suitable The leader candidate!Shan Yu's choice!Quba raised his head and glanced at the elders in front of him.

"Greetings, Shan Yu!" Frightened by Qu Bei's eyes, all the elders lost their temper and knelt down in unison...

On the grassland, various ethnic groups are mixed, and each ethnic group worships different gods. The Xiongnu have believed in Shamanism since ancient times, worshiping the sun and the moon, worshiping wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and also worshiping mountains and rivers. As a result, worshiping the sun and the moon at night, every year on a fixed day, a grand sacrificial ceremony will be held in Shanyuting, not only hoping to ask the gods to bless the Huns, but also to demonstrate their own royal power, so that other peoples on the grassland can see Their own strength, although in recent decades, the strength of the Huns has been declining day by day, and their status as the overlord on the grassland has long since ceased. They took advantage of loopholes and suppressed them, so that the territory became smaller and smaller, and their strength became weaker and weaker.

But this does not mean that the Xiongnu is completely useless. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. As the oldest nation on the grassland, the Xiongnu still has a foundation of strength, at least they can be regarded as a big family on the grassland. In front of the court, there was the sound of humming and drumming, and desolate tunes filled the air above the camp. It was supposed to be a joyous and grand festival, but this time, there was a touch of desolation...

A square altar towers high in the center of the camp. A dozen or so shamans with disheveled hair painted their faces with colorful oil paint, wore clothes made of feathers, and hung bone chains made of wolf bones around their necks. A cowhide drum bounced around on the altar, roaring some words that even they themselves could not understand.In front of the altar, there are neatly lined up cavalry teams representing the eight oldest tribes of the Huns and the original eight tribes of the Huns. Each cavalry team is composed of a hundred strong and fierce warriors. robes, mighty armor on the front and back of the chest, iron bracers with spikes on the wrists, shiny riding boots on the feet, straddling tall horses, majestic and heroic, this is the strength of the Huns , the Great Huns on the grassland are still extremely majestic...

Behind the cavalry of the Eight Great Tribes, there were Huns herdsmen who came from far and near tribes to watch the excitement. Wizard Man walked out of Da Shanyu's domed tent first, and behind the old wizard was the pious Xiongnu Da Shanyu Qiangqu, and right behind Qiangqu was Huchuquan, the right sage king of the Huns.Then there are left and right valley kings.The left and right generals, the left and right captains, the left and right big households, and the left and right Xuduhous. The ranks of the Xiongnu are shown here. The virtuous kings on the left and right are generally the most beloved ones with the great Chanyu. The two sons of the Great Chanyu were in charge, and they were placed in the Dahan. This should be regarded as the left and right prime minister, and the others who controlled the King of Gu were all direct relatives of the Great Chanyu, or they were also his sons. Shan Yu has supreme power, but at the same time, like the Han courts of all dynasties, the prime minister has too much power and often suppresses the authority of the imperial power. Since Yu Fuluo left, the strength of Youxian King Huchuquan has become more and more powerful. Powerful, he will gradually be next to his father's position, but he is not so worried about participating in Qiang Qu, because he originally hoped that Youxian King Hu Chuquan would become his qualified successor...

The nobles of the Xiongnu have already gathered here, because someone has released the news that after the sacrificial ceremony is over, Da Shanyu Qiangqu will announce a decision in public!And it was a very important decision. Although the content was not disclosed, almost everyone knew the result of this decision.

The elderly wizard kowtowed three times at one step, and climbed up to the square altar with great difficulty. A dozen young wizards bouncing around piously lay down on the altar, and pressed their whole bodies tightly against the altar, like stars arching Surrounding the old wizard like a moon, the old wizard raised his arms leisurely, and his loose robe fell down, revealing two skinny upper limbs.Like a hundred-year-old dead wood in the cold wind, dark and full of wrinkles, Da Shanyu Qiangqu and all the nobles behind him knelt down. The warriors of the eight tribes of the Xiongnu still straddle their steeds with arrogance and arrogance, enjoying the courtesy of avoiding kneeling and worshiping. This is also the earliest rule set down by the ancestors of the Huns to symbolize the Huns' worship of warriors and their respect for bravery. Advocating, it expresses the gratitude of each generation of Chanyu to the tribe that formed the Xiongnu when these eight tribes joined forces...

Solemn and very important sacrificial ceremonies are going on inside, and security work is of course the top priority, so on the outskirts of Shan Yuting, as the commander of a department, Wu Zhile, the chief of ten thousand riders, is leading a team of more than five thousand riders. The Xiongnu iron cavalry were cruising around on the grassland to protect the main hall for this sacrifice. The great Xiongnu was holding a grand sacrifice ceremony, and all the nobles gathered in the Shanyu Court. If there is an invasion of foreign troops at this time, they may even directly attack the Shanyu Court , the consequences will be unimaginable!As the commander of ten thousand cavalry directly under Da Shanyu's command, Wu Zhile naturally did not dare to take it lightly, and regarding the cavalry under his command, he considered them to be the most elite soldiers and horses of the Huns, so he was also full of confidence.

"Report..." Just as Wu Zhile was about to lead his troops back, suddenly a scout horse came galloping from the southeast direction, and shouted sharply: "Boss! Boss! A large group of cavalry was found thirty miles to the southeast. Where did they come from?" unknown!"

"What!?" Wu Zhile was startled, afraid of something, immediately asked in a deep voice, "Say! How many riders are there?"

Tanma clasped his hands and said, "I saw about two thousand horses clearly."

"More than two thousand riders?" Wu Zhile's expression turned serious, he pulled out the steel knife at his waist, and slammed it forward, saying sharply: "Warriors of the Huns, follow me to see!"
