Hearing Su Lei reveal his identity, Wei Kun was surprised and said: "You are actually a captain in the Han army, and you dare to stay alone in my camp as a hostage. You are brave enough. You are a man. I Wei Kun admires you." People in the grassland admire warriors the most. Thinking that a dignified captain in the Han army dared to go deep into a tiger's den alone. Even though the relationship between the two sides was still hostile, Wei Kun was still impressed by the courage of the Han army captain.
In the minds of the foreign tribes in the north, the official positions at the level of captain are still very high. For example, the rank of captain of Hu Qiang and the captain of Hu Wuhuan. The official positions of these captains are already on the same level as those of foreign leaders, and at this age, The young captain actually dared to enter his camp alone.
However, admiration is admiration, and Wei Kun is not someone who gives in so easily. Although he was captured by mistake, Wei Kun was still very strong and said: "It's useless even if you catch me, don't even think about what you can do with me and you cunning Han people." Deal, my people have already escaped, and with the three hundred warriors of my clan at their rear, you Han army can’t even hope to catch them,"
"Really?" Su Lei smiled coldly and did not answer immediately. Instead, he pulled Wei Kun outside the tent and said confidently.
"Let's take a look, Chief. I believe you will get the answer soon,"
"What answer?" Wei Kun was stunned. The Han military captain looked confident, which gave Wei Kun another unwelcome premonition.
As a result, before he finished speaking, he heard a noise in the distance. Wei Kun looked carefully and saw that his own people were leaving and returning. After that, there were Han cavalry all over the mountains and plains surrounding the camp from all directions.
"Han troops... Han troops are everywhere, run away..."
"We are surrounded by Han troops and can't get out anywhere. What should we do..."
"..."
The Xianbei people ran and howled in fear, but there were Han troops on all sides. The Xianbei people had no way to escape. The situation and scene were all in Wei Kun's eyes. The result was already obvious. What more needs to be said at this time. .
Su Lei said calmly: "Chief, there is no need to take chances. I have served under General Qu before. Now that he has taken action, he will definitely not leave you any room. There are more than 2,000 people in your clan. Don't even think about it today." One can escape,"
After listening to Su Lei's words, Wei Kun suddenly felt as if he had fallen into the abyss, his face turned ashen...
Su Lei said again: "Clan leader, I advise you to cooperate with me. General Qu is not as easy to talk to foreigners as I am. You should have heard of Qu Yi's methods. If you resist, Qing Qing, who is higher than the wheel, will Kill all the strong, old and weak,"
Wei Kun was silent for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "You just said, how do you want me to cooperate with you? Can you save my people and return my daughter intact?" Qu Yi's killing name The news has spread all over the grassland, and several Xianbei tribes have suffered the fate of genocide at his hands. Is it his turn this time?
Su Lei said: "My lord, please let your people stop resisting... I will go to General Qu and tell you. As long as you surrender to my great Han from now on and are willing to obey what Duke Jin says, I can not only guarantee that your entire clan will Everything is safe and sound, and you and your daughter’s family can be reunited,”
From Su Lei's words, Wei Kun heard some unusual charm. Qu Yi strangled the Xianbei tribe, and he had never heard of anyone being merciless. Why would he be treated preferentially this time? Whenever a war between races is involved, both sides will attack. They were all merciless, which seemed to be a matter of course for both parties, but Wei Kun didn't believe that the Han people would be merciful without any reason this time.
"Tell me, what exactly do you want me to do?" Although he had vaguely guessed that the result would be tragic, Wei Kun finally gritted his teeth and said, who would let the whole family's lives depend on his own thoughts now? .
Unexpectedly, Su Lei sneered and said, "Have you not understood the situation yet? There are only two ways before you. Either agree to unconditionally surrender to me, or accept the fate of annihilation. You have no choice." power,”
Wei Kun said dejectedly: "You... okay... I promise you, I will ask the tribesmen to put down their weapons now, and ask General Su to restrain your army."
Su Lei nodded and smiled and said: "This is the right thing. After the things here are over, I will take you to see Duke Jin and General Qu. If you need to do anything, I will tell you then..."
Under Wei Kun's intervention, the Xianbei tribe quickly laid down their weapons and stopped resisting. The captured Xianbei tribesmen were escorted by the Han army to clean up the battlefield and returned to the Han army camp at Fairy Lake. Qu Yi and Su Lei took Wei Kun with them. Kunze returned first and returned to Wenyuan.

The Xianbei people originated from Donghu and are distributed in northern China.
During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Donghu was defeated by the Xiongnu Maodun Shanyu and divided into two tribes. They retreated to Wuhuan Mountain and Xianbei Mountain respectively. Both took the name of the mountain as their clan name, forming the Wuhuan tribe and the Xianbei tribe, which were enslaved by the Huns.
In 41 AD, Xianbei followed the Xiongnu to invade the border. Xianbei became known to the Central Plains Dynasty as a national entity and began to contact the Central Plains Dynasty. After the Xiongnu split, the Xianbei people gradually got rid of their control. In 85 and 87 years, the Xianbei attacked the Xiongnu twice and resisted. Oppression, in 91 AD, the Northern Huns, who were attacked by the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Southern Xiongnu, were forced to move to Central Asia. The Xianbei people took the opportunity to occupy the Mongolian grasslands. More than 100,000 Xiongnu tribes merged into Xianbei. Xianbei has become stronger since then. In the middle of the second century, Tanshi Huai led his troops to reject Dingling in the north, defeat Fuyu in the east, attack Wusun in the west, and harass the Han border in the south. He took full control of the Xiongnu's homeland, unified all Xianbei tribes, and divided Xianbei into three tribes: east, middle, and west. Each tribe was managed by adults.
In the east, from the east of Youbeiping to Liaodong, it borders Fuyu and Haoqi, with a total of more than 20 cities. Its lords are Mijia, Queji, Suli and Huaitou.
In the central part, from the west of Youbeiping to Shanggu, there are more than 10 towns. The lords are Queju, Murong and others, all of whom are marshals.
In the west, from the west of Shanggu to Dunhuang, and to the west of Wusun, there are more than 20 cities. Its lords include Zhitan Luoluo, Rilu deduction, banquet Liyou, etc., all of whom are commanders.
At that time, these great people were all under the jurisdiction of King Tan Shihuai.
During Tan Shihuai's reign, he appointed Han people, formulated laws, and imported ironware from the Han area, which promoted the development of Xianbei society. After Tan Shihuai's death, his son Queju succeeded him. Because of the lack of support, all Xianbei tribes did not obey his management, and Ke Best was overjoyed with his success and went around to conquer the chaos. However, he was killed in the Northern Expedition to Dingling. The Xianbei tribal alliance that Tan Shihuai worked so hard to establish immediately fell into division. The three Xianbei tribes have no control over each other since then. They have been fighting each other for years and annexing each other to expand their strength. .
However, although the tribal alliance split, some of the alliance's systems have been inherited, such as the conference of leaders of the Midwest Alliance held this time.
The Alliance Chiefs Conference is held every five years, stipulating that the leaders of each tribe must participate to discuss the order to be observed, resolve disputes between tribes, and divide the land.
When Tan Shihuai founded the alliance, the king's flag was raised. There were more than fifty Xianbei tribes who came to participate in the meeting, with hundreds of thousands of cavalry and war horses. However, with the passing of Tan Shihuai, now only ten Over the years, the alliance conference is no longer what it was before. Fewer and fewer Xianbei tribes participated in the conference. The alliance in name only has lost its binding force on most tribes.
But this time at the foot of Tianlang Mountain, due to the invasion of the Han army, the common enemy of the Xianbei people, more than twenty tribes in the central and western Xianbei areas came together this time.
In the past few years, the threat of the Han army has made more and more Xianbei tribes feel the crisis. They have realized that the Central Plains people have unknowingly changed their strategy towards Xianbei, from pure defense to proactive attack. Over the past few years, they have already Nearly ten Xianbei tribes have disappeared from the alliance list. They were either exterminated or surrendered to the Han people and obeyed the command of the Han people.
This cruel act of genocide made everyone feel that they must resolutely fight back against the Han people and let these cowardly farming people see the power of the Xianbei cavalry.
Times have changed, and the former Xianbei commander-in-chief has changed. The western commander Yanliyou died in the invasion of Bingzhou a few years ago, and Ji Jiluoluo. The Japanese law deduction is getting old, and the central commander Ke is the deadliest. In the end, only Que Ju and Murong Yan were left, and the newly emerging commanders were Ke Bineng, Bu Dugen, Kuitou and other Xianbei upstarts.
However, regardless of whether they were new or old, being able to gather more than 20 tribes made Zhiluluo Luo and Rilu Deyan, who initiated this gathering, feel very relieved, and these people had always agreed to form a tribal coalition to deal with the Han people. Invasion, now there are still two days left before the agreed gathering time, and the tribes present can gather 70,000 to 80,000 cavalry. Such a large-scale cavalry, coupled with the fact that they are fighting on the grassland, finally makes the two of them feel a little better. Confidence.
Looking at the setting sun in the west, watching another day pass, Zhi Erluo Luo asked: "Who else is not here, old man?"
Rilu Deduction was more thoughtful and looked at the book and replied: "There are also Murong Yantie's Tieying Tribe and Lao Weikun's Weishi Tribe who haven't arrived here yet. They all sent people to make arrangements in advance. Come,"
Zhi Jiuluo Luo said: "That old guy Murong Yan is too arrogant. He always regards himself as the most capable commander under King Tan Shihuai. With his character, I believe he will definitely arrive at the last moment. As for The Wei tribe is just a small tribe, it doesn’t matter whether you come or not.”
Rilu's deduction was more careful, and he said seriously after hearing this: "Don't be careless, old man, this time the Han army came with bad intentions. I heard that this time it was the most powerful Duke of Jin in the Han Dynasty who personally led the troops out of the pass. His ambitions Don’t underestimate it. If you can unite to the point of strength, you will have an extra chance of victory."
Zhi Erluoluo was stunned and said: "Okay, okay, if Weikun comes, I will entertain him well."
As if to confirm what Cao Cao said about Cao Cao (how come this is a bit awkward), while the two were talking, suddenly a horse came running from a distance. When they got closer, the knight on horseback respectfully said: "Two great lords." "Shuai, people from the Wei tribe have arrived,"
The two looked at each other and said, "Oh, let's go and greet them."
