The Huns must also understand the principle of "If a tiger is not killed, it will be wounded".
The Xiongnu were already fighting to the death with the Jin army. If they could not completely eliminate Xianbei this time, they would have to face enemies from both sides in the future.
There are many people within the Xiongnu who support annihilating Xianbei with all their strength first, and then retaking Hetao from the Jin army.
However, the Xiongnu had occupied Hetao for many years. This area contained the wealthy women and slaves of the Xiongnu nobles. How could they give up so easily?
Moreover, the benefits gained by the Xiongnu are already great enough, and Xianbei's current strength is no longer a threat to the Xiongnu. After retaining the Hetao, Xianbei can still be eliminated.
So most people advocate preserving the Loop, after all, too many people’s interests are involved.
Both options have pros and cons. After weighing the pros and cons, Temujin couldn't help but hesitate and has not made a decision.
Just when the retreating faction was about to win, the Wuhuan envoy came to Temujin's camp. This person was Huang Taiji, the son of Nurhachi.
After entering the account, Huang Taiji didn't have any scruples and went straight to the point: "May I ask Shan Yu if the Huns want to withdraw their troops?"
Temujin did not answer but frowned slightly, looking unhappy. Tuo Lei understood and said displeasedly: "Whether to retreat or not is a matter for my Xiongnu family. You Wuhuan have no right to interfere." p>
Huang Taiji sighed and shook his head, and said in disappointment: "People often say that Temujin Chanyu is an eagle on the grassland, a great hero who appears only once in a thousand years to the Xiongnu. However, when I see him today, it seems that he is not worthy of his name."
"Bold."
Being humiliated in public by a junior, Temujin remained calm and showed no signs of anger, but the Huns generals couldn't bear it.
In their hearts, no one could humiliate the great Chanyu, so they all clamored to kill Huang Taiji.
Temujin raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said calmly: "Huang Taiji, do you think you are Nurhaci's son, and this Shanyu does not dare to kill you? Nurhaci is not the only son of you."
The words were full of threats. Huang Taiji was only the eighth son of Nurhachi, and would a powerful man like Nurhachi offend the Huns because of a son?
Temujin thinks absolutely not.
Faced with the threat of death, Huang Taiji not only showed no fear, but argued with reason: "May I ask Shan Yu, was it the Xiongnu who lured Wuhuan into the water and said that the two families should divide Xianbei equally?"
"That's right."
Temujin's eyes became colder and colder, and his words did not contain any emotion.
Huang Taiji didn't seem to see it, but asked sternly: "When I was Wuhuan, I was involved in this muddy water and died in the battle. Now I have fought with Xianbei to death, but the Xiongnu wants to retreat alone at this time. This
Where does that leave me Wuhuan? What happens to the covenant at that time? Dare I ask Shan Yu whether such behavior is the result of a hero?"
"Are you questioning this Shanyu?"
Temujin stared at Huang Taiji. This was the second person besides Qin Hao who dared to talk to him like this, and Huang Taiji looked at Temujin without the slightest fear.
"Isn't it obvious enough?"
The atmosphere at the scene gradually solidified, and all the Xiongnu generals couldn't help but sweat for Huang Taiji.
Did this kid come all this way just to die?
But after a while, Temujin burst out laughing, looked at Huang Taiji with admiration, and said: "What a courage. I originally thought that Wuhuan only had Nurhachi as a capable person, but now there is another Huang Taiji."
Faced with Temujin's praise, Huang Taiji remained calm and calm, saying calmly: "Chanyu Miao praised me. There are many talented people in Wuhuan, and Huang Taiji is just the most inconspicuous one."
"Huh." Temujin snorted and then sneered: "You just said that Qiu Liju died because of me, the Huns? Go back and ask your father how Qiu Liju died. Nurhaci is worried about it."
A flash of panic flashed in Huang Taiji's eyes, and he said: "I don't understand what Shan Yu is talking about."
A trace of contempt flashed in Temujin's eyes, but he did not go into details and continued: "Didn't you just ask me where I want to place the covenant? Now I will tell you that the only purpose of the covenant is to tear it up.
.A truly strong man will never be bound by anything. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
Huang Taiji's eyes were filled with surprise. He never expected that Temujin would completely ignore his personal reputation. What a terrible guy!
"So Lai Shan is determined to withdraw from the army?"
Temujin smiled lightly and said nothing. Seeing this, Huang Taiji cupped his hands and said: "In this case, it is useless to talk more, so I will leave first."
After saying this, Huang Taiji ignored everyone and turned around to walk out of the tent. But at this moment, four guards came out and stopped him. Seeing this, Huang Taiji turned to look at Temujin.
Seeing this, Temujin waved his hand and said calmly: "Let him go."
Of course, Temujin would not really leave Huang Taiji behind. First of all, his temperament had not yet reached this low level. Secondly, he did not want to offend Nurhachi so quickly.
When the guards heard this, they all stepped back respectfully. Huang Taiji walked slowly to the gate of the camp, turned around and said meaningfully: "With Xianbei's current strength, even if Xianbei doesn't have the Xiongnu, I, Wuhuan, can still defeat them.
I just hope that Temujin Chanyu will not regret it."
After saying that, Huang Taiji stopped staying, but Temujin's eyes were full of gloom.
Seeing that Huang Taiji had gone far, he walked to Temujin and asked: "Chanyu, when will we withdraw our troops?"
Temujin glared at Dragai and shouted: "What kind of troops should we retreat from? Before we completely defeat Xianbei, what kind of troops should we retreat from?"
"No, you just..."
The drag suddenly became messy, one thing in front of me and another in front of me, and I couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all.
A trace of fear flashed in Temujin's eyes, and he said in a serious voice: "Huang Taiji's words woke me up. With Xianbei's current strength, whether it is me, the Xiongnu or Wuhuan, it is possible for me to swallow it alone.
Nurhaci is not an ordinary person, and his ability to use troops is not inferior to mine. If I, the Huns, retreat this time, it will give Nurhaci a chance.
If Nurhachi really lets Nurhachi annex the remnants of Xianbei, the trouble Wuhuan will bring in the future will be much greater than that of the Jin army."
Temujin was determined to conquer the world, but the prerequisite for conquering the world was to unify the grasslands, so after defeating Xianbei, Wuhuan became his biggest obstacle.
In the campaign against Xianbei, the Xiongnu benefited the most. Currently, their overall strength is higher than that of Wuhuan. As long as the current results can be fully digested, Temujin is absolutely sure that he can defeat Wuhuan.
But if Wuhuan is allowed to annex the remnants of Xianbei, then the strength of the two parties will basically be on the same level, and the situation of one dominant family will turn into a confrontation between two heroes.
From the perspective of unifying the grasslands, Temujin believed that Nurhachi's threat was greater than that of Qin Wen and Qin Hao, so he would never allow Wuhuan to continue to grow in strength.
