After Tuobatao learned that the Yellow River had frozen, he drew 30,000 troops and moved south quickly in just three days.

Tuobatao won a complete victory with the tactic of quick battle against Rouran, so he now believes in the fast fighting style of soldiers.

For Tuoba Tao, instead of sitting in the palace waiting for more troops to mobilize and prepare, Tuoba Tao was more willing to lead a light cavalry to raid himself.

Another reason why Tuobatao firmly believed that he could use only 30,000 troops to skewers in four towns in Henan was that he recently gained a new powerful general.

When this fierce general named Ahula joined the army, he also brought his own tribe with him. They claimed to be a nomadic tribe west of Northern Liang. Because their residence was affected by disaster and were driven away by the people of Northern Liang, they came to the Northern Wei Dynasty to join the army and find a way out.

Originally, this Ahula and his tribe did not receive much attention in the Northern Wei army. After all, they were born in the Zhenxi Army. The army was mixed with Hu and had a low status. Therefore, even in the Zhenxi Army, their tribe was sent to do the most difficult chores at the beginning.

It is very common for the new recruits to be suppressed by veterans, but this Ahula refused to even act like a show and took his own tribe members to give up.

It is not uncommon for the army to be thorned, but like them, there are not many who have no way to leave.

At that time, Tuobatao was drawing troops from various armies to surround Rouran. Ahula's tribe was undoubtedly isolated by the commander of the team leader. Less than 100 people were blocked on the way of Rouran's escape, like a stone waiting to be washed away by the flood. They undoubtedly went to die.

But when the war ended, when Tuobatao brought people to pursue Rouran's deserter, he saw a scene like Shura hell.

It is not surprising that the corpses are everywhere on the battlefield... but the death here is extremely tragic, and few of them are all corpses. The blood of the dead flows all the way like a river.

No matter how hot the blood was, it eventually lost its power in front of this tribe and was then divided into two by a mountain of corpses.

And Ahula stood on the top of the corpse mountain and looked at Tuobatao who was passing by. The hands and feet that were crossed outside the corpse mountain like dead branches were the only proof that they were once living people.

The military merits of the Northern Wei Dynasty were counted by the heads of killing the enemy. The first turn of military merit required to kill fifty enemies, and the second turn of the enemy doubled. Ahula, alone, took six turns of military merits in this battle alone.

This is not the case with those whose heads were broken or whose corpses were separated... In the end, no one knew how many people Ahula killed in this battle.

Military merit means that every soldier can allocate the spoils, so those who can survive on the battlefield are very particular about the count of heads. But neither Ahula nor his tribe members seem to care about the amount of spoils. It seems that killing people is their main purpose.

Among those countless broken corpses, not only the Rouran people, but also the entire Thousand-Person team belonging to the Ahula tribe. Everyone thought that this Thousand-Person team was killed by the retreating Rouran people, leaving only the Ahula and his tribe to fight to the end.

But when the people who cleaned the battlefield arrived, they strangely discovered that the Northern Wei team of thousands of people died even worse than the Rouran people. Each corpse seemed to be dismembered by five horses.

After the war, the bodies of the dead soldiers were buried according to the rules. The soldiers responsible for cleaning the battlefield had no choice but to form some together and bury them in a hurry. However, after that war, the people in the army instinctively hid far away when they saw Ahula's tribe. They only felt that the hundred people were dying.

Originally, with Ahula's military achievements, it was undoubtedly a matter of promotion to be a commander of the thousand men. But he directly refused, saying that he was only willing to take his own tribe and become a vanguard team independently.

Tuoba Tao felt strange when he heard about this. There were still people in this world who were not greedy for military merits. However, when people think about it, there were often some ideas that ordinary people could not understand. Since Ahula was unwilling to lead the army, he did not force it. After all, such a brave and powerful soldier tribe may not be able to find another one even if he looked at the entire northern region.

But Tuoba Tao also had doubts about Ahula and the others. First, with their combat power, it was impossible to be driven away by the people of Beiliang and had no power to fight back. Second, this tribe said that the entire tribe came to join the army, but except Ahula, the others were young men. There were no elderly people, and there were no women or children.

What puzzled Tuoba Tao the most was Ahula himself. Tuoba Tao once said a few words to him. His tone when he spoke not only did not see the humility he should have when he saw the king, but also had a bit of domineering attitude that he looked arrogant and arrogant. He obviously looked like a strong middle-aged man, but his words were quite old-fashioned when he spoke.

After a year, Tuoba Tao still remembered the look of Ahula on the mountain of corpses, and there was still a chill rising from the soles of his feet. It seemed that his life was insignificantly like an ant in the eyes of Ahula.

If it were other emperors, Ahula would never escape death even if he made great achievements. But he was facing Tuoba Tao. Tuoba Tao has always had a bright eye for brave people. Even if he was an addict like Helianchang, he would be willing to look up to him. Therefore, he agreed with Ahula's request.

After the army set off, Ahula took his tribe to ride a horse at the front of the team. Tuoba Tao could only occasionally see Ahula's back riding a horse from the gap in the team. The more he looked, the more he felt that Ahula's aura was very similar to the same person, but he couldn't remember who he looked at.

Tuoba Tao originally wanted to take the opportunity to observe Ahula for a few more days to decide whether to reuse him. As a result, just the second day after the expedition, Ahula suddenly disappeared.

Tuoba Tao has been sending people to stare at Ahula. When he received the news, he immediately called Ahula's tribe members to ask questions.

The young man brought to Tuoba Tao bowed slightly and knelt down, and then replied expressionlessly: "The clan leader found that the army was following him in detail, so he went to chase him alone. The clan leader said he didn't have to wait for him, he would go back."

"Quizhu?" Tuoba Tao thought he had heard it wrong, "Your tribe belongs to the vanguard camp, not the spies camp. If you find the fine school, you should have to leave it to the spies in the army to solve it. Why did Ahula go by himself?"

The young man still had a stagnant face, "The clan leader is in his actions, and we have no right to ask. If your Majesty has any questions, you can ask yourself after the clan leader returns."

Tuoba Tao might be able to endure Ahula's careless respect for him, but he would never allow a boy from the Mihu tribe to speak out to him. Just as he was about to get angry, he saw someone rushed over to report and was stopped by Tuoba Tao's guards from afar.

Tuoba Tao nodded, and the man was able to kneel on one knee, clasp his fists and answer: "Your Majesty, I don't know why the spies sent by the General to explore the way have not returned since last night. I am afraid that there will be ambush nearby, so I ask Your Majesty to stop the march. I will wait for the General Majesty to find out before making a decision."

Tuoba Tao frowned suddenly, and his eyes fell on Ahula's tribe members like an eagle. "You said your patriarch went to follow the details? Did he say where was the details?"

The young man didn't reply, just stood motionless like a piece of wood.

It is absolutely impossible for the spies who can block out several of their own ways so neatly and such a trick that Song Jun could do.
