The brazier bounced out of Mars, and the huge Xianbei king's tent was crowded with people. It was dark at this time. The nobles, soldiers and herdsmen were surrounding this side, and from time to time they would look at the ten thousand Xianbei knights on the horses on standby on the other side. Many people whispered in the darkness and whispered to form a buzzing noise...

"The one who came here was Suonu Shanyu. He was not on the grassland, so he ran to the royal court to do what he did..."

"When he came, his warriors were calling out, let us go north."

"When is the order of the Wolf King? If so, you can go there. A caravan that came that day still owed me some things, and said that I would pay it back next time..."

"... Today, there are a lot of Han gentlemen who were killed, with seventy or eighty people.... Shanyu made his own decision. He asked us to go north and would definitely have a fight with the wolf king. He might have to fight..."

"Then I'll follow the Shanyu... I've been disliked by those Han people..."

"Then go, your family will starve to death in winter..."

People whispered in silence, sometimes quarreling, and even started fighting, and divided into two different positions. In recent years, the royal court and even the Xianbei herdsmen on the grassland have ushered in a rare peace. They have lived a better day by day. In the past, they also herded cattle and sheep, but in winter, there are always people in the tribe who die of starvation. Now under the rule of the White Wolf King, they only need to be at ease with livestock. Han merchants will come to buy them at home, and they will not deceive and exploit them. They have actually brought many heavy gains, and even luxury goods used by some Han talents.

It is naturally not ruled out that Gongsun Zhi massacred more than 40,000 Xianbei men, women, young and old in the royal court a few years ago. He knelt on the ground and his head was cut off and inserted on wooden sticks to form the "Great Wall". After a year or two of the slavery treatment, they survived and included in the list of Xianbei natives in Chinese. Most people no longer had the idea of ​​resisting. Now they can still shout, probably because they are lazy and live a poor life.

Among those who do not want to leave, as part of the Xianbei nobles, what they have enjoyed in the past few years is unimaginable from the past grassland. When he received the summons from Suo Nu, in his tone of order, these nobles were a little embarrassed. They could not live the days of returning to the cold wind and the vast grassland.

An older Xianbei man with silk clothes and fur on his shoulders. He looked at the figure who was silent on his knees on his head, and his tone was a little gentle: "Shanyu, you suddenly returned and let us move north. How can you finish the journey in one night? Look at the old and young people outside the tent? Is it like if you were blocked by the Huns a few years ago and you would be killed again?"

"I think you are greedy for the benefits given by the Han people and don't want to leave!" Wild Wolf Ni shouted suddenly and reached out to hold the hilt of the knife. Several warriors behind the tribe also quickly grasped the hilt of the knife, pulled it out with a swish, confronted the people of Wild Wolf Ni.

Bang!

At the first place, he slapped his palm on several tables. Suo Nu stood up: "Put away all the swords and draw them for just outsiders, it is simply a disgrace to the heaven of immortality! The grassland men are cheerful and heroic, and they speak as soon as they speak. They are all relatives of the same clan and their minds should be as broad as the sky!"

The guards looked at each other. The tribe who was talking raised his hand before, and these people inserted the weapon back into the sheath. Next to him, another relatively young Xianbei nobleman couldn't help but speak: "Shanyu is pretty and said, but the wolf king is coming back, and his enemies are more than 200,000, and they are all defeated in front of him. Shanyu made us rebellious at this time, and he wanted to force more than 80,000 Xianbei people in the royal court and the herdsmen on the grassland to death!"

"Dear tribes, elders, this is the best opportunity." Suo Nu stepped out of his seat and stood not far in front of the brazier in the middle, with a cold look: "Since the split, my Xianbei has become weaker and weaker day by day. Now that Liaodong surrenders, the children who leave home have returned to the embrace of their mothers in the grassland. As long as we stay away from the Han territory and go deep into the grassland, five or ten years, we are the prosperous and prosperous Xianbei again. There is no need to look at the faces of the Han people, no need to learn, and wear Han people's things."

He clenched his fists and his voice subsided: "... Gongsun Zhi asked us Xianbei to learn the things of the Han people, learn their Chinese language, and wear their clothes. Look at the children in the clan, and more and more spoke the language of the Han people. In a few years, after the old group died, how many people still remember that we are eagles on the grassland and Xianbei people!! He cut off our roots, which is more terrifying than swords and weapons..."

The people in the tent could understand it, but some people were also distracted: "I have a constant Xianbei bloodline, so why is it gone?" Then a voice echoed: "Yes, the Han people have not forced the children in our tribe to learn Chinese dialect, and they often speak Xianbei dialect. The Shanyu thought too much."

The noisy voice lasted for a while, and after all, someone came out: "No matter what, the Shanyu was the Xianbei people who did not wave their swords among the tribes. Then... I might as well let the Shanyu pass the orders in the royal court. Those who are willing to leave will follow the Shanyu, stay if they are unwilling to continue to grazing and live a comfortable life."

Suo Nu's eyes swept across the fire with different expressions, his clenched fists loosened again, he gritted his teeth and nodded in a deep voice: "Okay, now I will send people from various tribes to convey orders, and let those who want to leave gather here tomorrow morning. Don't do anything bad from it, otherwise the knife in my hand will cut off his head."

The Xianbei cavalry who received the order in the night began to go along the tribes, and the deep black gradually passed in time...

************

The white fish belly was rising in the east, and the team from Juyongguan to Shanggu County had reached ten miles outside Juyang City. It was already early in the morning, and the sky was gloomy, and cicadas were ringing in the trees in the road, which was monotonous and irritable.

Gongsun Zhi, who had returned to the city first, did not go directly to the government office, but went home directly. At this time, a quick horse had already returned to inform him. He returned to the door of the mansion. Cai Yan, as the hostess in the mansion, held Zheng'er's hand and led Jian Shuo and his group of servants in the house. The maid had been waiting there for a long time.

Seeing her husband coming down from the horse's back, she smiled and greeted her. Gongsun Zheng shouted happily: "Dad!" Then when he ran over and threw himself into his father's arms, Jian Shuo quickly directed the maids to go up and use willow branches to sweep away the bad luck that came from outside for the master. Gongsun Zhi held his son and asked them to work. He smiled at the wife opposite him: "The victory that he had finally won was almost wiped out by this eunuch."

Hearing this, Jian Shuo, who was standing beside him rolled his eyes with his cuffs. Cai Yan covered his mouth and chuckled, and then returned to the mansion with his husband, "Husband is back first, let's leave the generals behind."

Stepping on the stone steps on the eaves, Gongsun Zhi put his son down, rubbed the little man's head, and said with a smile: "I, the wolf king, take care of everything, and what do they want to do?" He paused for a moment, and he bent down and told Zheng'er: "You go to Brother Dongfang to play, and when you have lunch, let him come together, and for his father to take the exam for his studies."

"Yes!" Gongsun Zheng stood straight as if he had received a military order, nodded seriously with his little face, then turned around and ran to the side yard quickly, causing the two servants who were serving him to follow him in fear.
