Liu Ziqiu did not bring his dozens of escorts into Mullin's camp. Firstly, to show his trust in Mullin, and secondly, if Mullin had any malicious intentions, it would not help if these dozens of people entered the camp.
, on the contrary, without these people, Liu Ziqiu
With less worries, he could come and go freely. When he was about to enter the big tent, Liu Ziqiu saw a big stone next to the tent door. This stone may weigh a thousand kilograms. It has been here for hundreds of years, although it is a hindrance to camping.
, but can also be used to tie cables.
Seeing this big stone, Liu Ziqiu suddenly had an idea. He patted the stone casually, then raised the curtain and walked into the big tent.
Mullin was not sure why, when he heard a "crash", the huge stone broke into countless small pieces and collapsed instantly.
This sudden change shocked everyone. Although Mu Duoli knew Liu Ziqiu's bravery on the bed and knew that he seemed to be "invulnerable", she had never really seen Liu Ziqiu's skills. Seeing such a huge stone
Shattered in front of her, Muduoli also had a pale face, but she soon became overjoyed. The Turkic girl loves heroes and can break large rocks with one palm. Who else can do it except her lover? Isn't her lover indomitable?
The great hero?
Mullin is worthy of being the leader of the tribe. Although he is still a little frightened, his face is much calmer. He hurriedly walked into the tent, crossed his hands and said, "I wonder what Mr. Liu does for visiting the villain's tribe today?"
"You are my father-in-law, and it is my duty to come and see you." Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "My son-in-law is here this time, and I have a rich gift to give you!"
Of course, Mu Lin knew that what Liu Ziqiu said before was polite, so he quickly raised his hands and said: "Master Liu, please make it clear!"
Liu Ziqiu smiled and said: "We Han people have a saying, which is called thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. My son-in-law heard that there are two major tribes in Turks. The people who serve as Turkic Khans are all from the Ashina tribe, and my father-in-law
The Ast tribe can only become a descendant tribe but not a royal tribe. I wonder if this is the case?"
Mullin immediately became alarmed: "This is a rule established by our Turkic tribes for thousands of years. Why does Mr. Liu ask these questions?"
Liu Ziqiu's face darkened and he said: "Rules are made by people! Good rules must be followed, and unreasonable rules must be broken and innovated! When this rule was formulated, the Ashina tribe was strong and the Ashide tribe was weak.
This is understandable. Nowadays, the times are different, and the strength of the Ashide clan is already higher than that of the Ashina clan, so why do we still stick to this rule?"
Mullin shook his head and said, "Where did Mr. Liu hear that the Ashina clan is not as powerful as our Ashide clan? There are countless things from hearsay."
More than a hundred years ago, in order to avoid endless wars within the Turks, the leaders of both sides agreed on this rule. At that time, the Ashina tribe was only slightly more powerful than the Ashidian tribe. But since the Ashina tribe became a royal family, the Ashina tribe has become a royal family.
After the German tribe became a descendant tribe, the entire situation gradually changed.
The gap is getting bigger and bigger. Mullin's tribe is already the most powerful tribe among the Ast tribe, and its strength is only equivalent to that of the Qilifa tribe before the accident, and is not as good as the current association rate tribe. As for the Ast tribe
The Hongzhan tribe, which ranks second among the tribes, is only half as powerful as the Dumi tribe.
Today's Turks no longer have two ethnic groups coexisting side by side, but the Ashina tribe is the dominant one. This was all the result of the wrong decisions of the leaders of the Ast tribes at that time. Of course, this result has great consequences for the entire Turks.
But it is beneficial.
Mulin's current situation is actually not optimistic. Hongzhan's tribe has now become the queen's tribe, and Hongzhan will definitely expand his power with the support of Du Jishi. However, after all, Hongzhan belongs to the Ast tribe, and he wants to expand
Dujishi cannot allow him to attack other Ashina tribes, but can only gradually annex other Ashina tribes. The Ashide tribe is already weak. If Hongzhan wants to develop rapidly, it is best to
The only way was to target the Mulin tribe. In addition to worrying that the tribe would be raided by Han cavalry entering the grassland, they were also worried that their strength would be damaged in the southern invasion, allowing Hongzhan to take advantage of it. This was also an important reason for Mulin to withdraw his troops.
But Liu Ziqiu laughed and said: "This is not hearsay, it was caused by my son-in-law!"
Mullin couldn't help but change his face when he thought of what his daughter had just said, and said, "What do you mean, Mr. Liu?"
Liu Ziqiu clapped his fingers and said: "Zi Lifa's tribe has been completely wiped out by my son-in-law. Three days ago, my men and horses captured the Du Mi tribe again. Although my people did not take away the cattle, sheep and women of the Du Mi tribe.
, but if they want to regain their strength, it cannot be achieved overnight. Next, my troops will sweep through the tribes led by the association until they conquer the Turkic tent!"
Speaking of this, Liu Ziqiu suddenly paused, with a ferocious look on his face, and said sternly: "If it weren't for Mu Duoli's sake, do you think Liu would have time to sit here and chat with you slowly? Liu's
The army is ten miles away, and as long as Liu gives the order, they will crush your tribe!"
Mullin gritted his teeth and sneered: "Master Liu is a little overconfident. My tribe has 20,000 fine knights, how can it be a weakling who can be manipulated by others?"
There are no thorn trees on the grassland. Mullin has probably never seen a thorn tree, but he doesn't know where he learned this sentence.
Liu Ziqiu laughed loudly and said: "Of course Liu has this confidence! Liu heard that the tribe with the highest number of associations is only a hundred miles away. Tomorrow Liu will send his troops to wipe out the tribe with the highest number of associations. If you are interested, you might as well follow Liu's lead
The army is going to watch the battle, and we will know what happens when the time comes!"
Mullin felt a war between heaven and man in his heart, and after a long while he said: "Okay, I will follow Mr. Liu for a while!"
That night, Mulin wanted to host a banquet in the tent to entertain Liu Ziqiu, but Liu Ziqiu declined politely. The two parties agreed to meet ten miles north of the camp tomorrow morning. On the way out of the Mulin tribe camp, Liu Ziqiu finally couldn't help but ask:
"Mudori, what exactly did you say to your father?"
Muduoli smiled slyly: "I warned him that if he troubles you, you will destroy his camp and steal his woman, just like you took away me."
Liu Ziqiu was speechless for a moment and said, "Have you ever said that about your father?"
Muduoli smiled and said: "Don't be angry, Master, I'm just teasing you. I told him that you have an army of 100,000 miles away. If he dares to go against the Master, he must be prepared to let everyone
Prepare to be buried with others!"
Liu Ziqiu shook his head and said, "Where should I go tomorrow to show him how to conjure 100,000 horses?"
Mu Duoli looked bitter and said: "Master, I know my mistake. I don't know that I want to invite him to watch the battle."
While talking, they had already arrived at the grassland where the army was stationed, and the two of them jumped off the horse together. Liu Ziqiu slapped Mu Duoli's plump and upright buttocks hard, and said fiercely: "I told you to talk nonsense.
See how I punish you tonight!"
Mu Duoli said "嘤四", her face showed pain, but she was secretly happy in her heart, which showed that Liu Ziqiu did not blame her at all.
…
Early the next morning, Liu Ziqiu gathered 10,000 elite troops and headed north to join Mullin. Mullin was already waiting there. Although he had agreed that he would only watch the battle and not participate, to be on the safe side, Mullin still brought five soldiers with him.
Qian Jingqi. Seeing that Liu Ziqiu only brought about 10,000 horses, Mu Lin was a little surprised. He raised his hands and said: "Master Liu, I heard that you have 100,000 elite soldiers. Why do you only bring such a few people? I'm afraid that the soldiers left behind by the tribe will join forces.
There’s more to horses than that.”
The Jieshe rate tribe is the tribe that existed before the reign of Shibi Khan Duji. It has a total of 25,000 young herdsmen and is the most powerful tribe in the Mobei grassland. Mullin had just returned from Qikou for a few days and knew that the Jieshe rate
After taking away 15,000 elite soldiers, there should be tens of thousands of horses left in the tribe. Coupled with the young and old people in the tribe who have fighting ability, an army of 30,000 people can still be mobilized in an emergency. With one against three
, Mu Lin felt a little uneasy. If he hadn't heard Mu Duoli say yesterday that Liu Ziqiu had an army of 100,000, he would not have been willing to take the risk. But how could he have imagined that he had been tricked by his daughter.
However, Liu Ziqiu waved his hand without thinking and said: "Liu just wants you to see with your own eyes how Liu's soldiers were able to defeat ten with one against ten and win a complete victory!"
Originally, according to the established policy, Liu Ziqiu's 30,000 troops always acted together. However, in order to confuse Mullin and to cover Mu Duoli's lie, Liu Ziqiu decided to only bring 10,000 troops. Of course, there are advantages to every disadvantage, and the strong are respected on the grassland.
Or, if Liu Ziqiu's 10,000 troops can really sweep through the tribes with strong associations, Mullin will definitely be so impressed that the next thing will be solved easily.
In order to convince Mullin even more, Liu Ziqiu did not resort to surprise attacks. Instead, he first sent a team of 1,000 troops to harass the tribe, then withdrew and formed a formation five miles south of the tribe.
Waiting. Sure enough, when he learned that the Han army only had about 10,000 people, he led the tribe to march out with all their troops. In the middle were the 10,000 young men, and on the left and right were old men and young men who could ride horses and shoot arrows. Many of the old men were also
Those who have survived countless wars, although they are older, have not lost any skills in riding and archery, their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.
On a high slope five miles further south, Mu Lin witnessed the war with his own eyes. Standing with him was his daughter Mu Duoli. Originally, Mu Duoli insisted on fighting side by side with Liu Ziqiu, but
Liu Ziqiu understood the cruelty of this battle and would not allow her to be in danger under any circumstances.
The battle was extremely cruel. After the exchange of bows and arrows, it entered into a close-up hand-to-hand combat. The riders of the tribe were all wearing various leather jackets, gray and white, and they looked like a lake. And Liu Ziqiu
However, all of his men were wearing uniform black armor, like a black dragon that was overturning the river. The fight lasted from noon until the sun set in the west, and one side finally showed signs of failure.
