Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 975 Some endure humiliation while others laugh

  Almost at the same time, there were some people far away in the Yanmen area, who were thinking about this matter and chanting Fei Qian's name. However, these people still don't know that Fei Qian is now General Zhengxi's business. They think that Fei Qian is still the general who protects the Hun.

  On the wide prairie, a group of people and horses dragged their weary steps forward slowly. This group of people, all wearing worn-out felt hats and dirty leather robes, were covered in disgrace, and were extremely embarrassed. They looked like a group of down-and-out horse thieves...

   This group of people is exactly the tribe who took refuge in the commanders of Alanyi and Linyinqin who came to the Xiongnu tribe from afar.

These unruly Huns who once unified Monan and Mobei, and traveled thousands of miles, have become like this now, without any energy, whether it is the leader Alan Yi and Lin Yinqin, or the ordinary Huns behind The clansmen all lowered their heads, kept silent, and moved forward, slowly.

These Huns who surrendered to Xianbei were best equipped with stinky leather armor, horned bow and bone arrows. Killed, just the arrows before the battle are enough to make these unarmored Huns drink a pot.

No matter how strong your riding skills are, and you are not afraid of life and death, you are still just a person after all. If you shoot a rough bone arrow, you may not even leave a mark on the iron armor, let alone break the armor. Arrowheads flew in, and he had no protection on his body, so he could only rely on the vain armor of "luck" to protect him.

At present, there are many tribes, large and small, in Xianbei. Although Budugen is in charge, they are still relatively chaotic. There is not much organization. Anyway, in this piece of land, these tribes are used to being attached to whoever is strong. Who.

  Thus, they wanted to compare the weaker Alanyi and the Xiongnu tribes in Linyinqin, so they suffered a lot.

The men on the prairie, whether they are Xianbei or the Huns, follow the tribal system of the weak and the strong. Alanyi and Linyinqin lost their momentum, so they were naturally bullied, although King Xianbei said that they should be kind to Alanyi and Linyinqin , but in fact, basically no one took Alan Yi and Lin Yinqin seriously.

In the past, Alanyi and Linyinqin were more or less number one among the Southern Huns, but now, their status has plummeted. Even a small Xianbei leader can still tease Alanyi and Linyinqin in front of them and laugh at them...

  As for Budugen, the king of Xianbei, how can he have so much leisure time to manage these things, so most of the time he doesn't care about them.

The clansmen led by Alan Yi and Lin Yinqin had to seek some extra subsidies because the entire allocated grassland was not ideal. For the nomads, the most accustomed supplementary method was naturally to farm next door. The ethnic group is going to fight the autumn wind...

   Anyway, it is a matter of national integration, how can we not support it?

   It's just that this time Linyinqin took his clansmen out for five or six days, and the food and grass they seized was pitifully small, at most less than two hundred stones of various grains, and some tattered Gebu clothes, that's all.

The area of ​​Yanmen has been infested by barbarians all year round. Most of the rich and noble families with families have migrated far away, leaving only those who have nowhere to go. How many good things are there?

   Behind the team that was returning slowly, there were several cars loaded with these trophies. They were also tattered and almost seemed to fall apart in the next moment, creaking crookedly on the grass. On the side of the baggage cart, a few skinny animals that were looted were also pulled by ropes.

Even for these inconspicuous things, Alan Yi and Lin Yinqin still paid twenty or thirty lives of their clansmen, and the Han people in the Northland were also extremely tough. What's more, the food and grass might be saved by a family with great difficulty. How could he be willing to let Alan Yi, Lin Yinqin and others rob him and leave?

  Lin Yinqin was at the front of the queue, with his dirty leather robe unbuttoned, and his body was also muddy, no different from the surrounding clansmen, with a sullen face and frowning.

  Since surrendering to Xianbei, Lin Yinqin's fiery temperament has gradually faded a lot. Up to now, Lin Yinqin was able to bear it without saying a word when he was shouted around, laughed at and teased by some Xianbei leaders.

This time, with the clansmen of Alanyi and Linyinqin, they went out to plunder, and Linyinqin did it all by himself. This was basically unimaginable in the past. After all, Alanyi and Linyinqin were both nobles of the Southern Huns royal court. , originally disdain to do this kind of rough work.

  But now, everything has changed.

  The cause is that Yu Fuluo, and more importantly, that Han man, the Huxiong Zhonglang Jiang Feiqian...

This time I went to the Han people, um, to borrow food, because the clansman found a small village in the mountains, and after Alanyi and Lin Yinqin got the information, Lin Yinqin personally led the team and led the team to climb the mountain with abandoned horses. Climbing up the wall of the village with a knife in hand, and finally killing Ding Zhuang in the village, they got these captures.

   Just as Lin Yinqin was about to take his tribe back to the small pasture with Alan Yi, a Xianbei team of dozens of people rushed from the northeast.

The Xianbei cavalry came galloping like flying on the grass, with the braids on their heads sticking to their scalps and jumping in the air. They were approaching, and the leader was a Xianbei leader from the pasture next to Alan Yi and Lin Yinqin. .

The leader of Xianbei stopped his subordinates, then reined in his horse and spun around in front of Lin Yinqin twice. He smiled ferociously at Lin Yinqin, and announced loudly: "The food and grass are all ours, hand them all over. !"

  The Huns under Lin Yinqin's command couldn't help being stunned, and then a look of anger appeared on their faces.

The pastures are poor, the cattle and sheep are thin and weak, and a lot of them have been exploited by Xianbei. It turns out that they can survive for some time when they return from harvesting grain, so that the cattle and sheep can reproduce in the season, so that the future life may be barely enough. Get over it.

   As a result, they risked their lives now, and finally found a small village, only to collect such a little, but the nearby Xianbei tribe smelled fishy, ​​came to intercept, and wanted to **** it away!

  The Xianbei people laughed and pointed at Lin Yinqin and the others while holding the knife and longbow, and there was even a hint of expectation in their eyes, as if to say, come on, come on...

  The Huns glared at the group of Xianbei, holding their knives, but they gritted their teeth and endured the nonchalant and provocative gazes of the Xianbei cavalrymen, only turning their gazes to Lin Yinqin.

Lin Yinqin, who had been silent all this time, could only come out of the crowd at this time, bowed to the little Xianbei man, stroked his chest as a salute, and said in a deep voice: "Our people found the stockade, and it was also our people who broke it. According to the old rules, 30% will be handed over to Master Xianbei, we understand this, but taking all of it away, isn't it against the rules?"

The Xianbei leader snorted and said with a sneer, "I didn't expect you to know the rules! Okay, let's talk about the rules! The Yanmen area was originally owned by our Xianbei people. When will it be your turn for the Huns?" Are you here to fight Caogu? If you want to fight Caogu, go to your Huns’ territory! Besides, whoever agreed to approve your sending troops to fight Caogu? It’s like you people who ignore orders. Do you want to abide by it?"

  The more important people are, the more polite they are to others, because they know that being polite can show their upbringing, and they don’t worry about others being rude to them...

  But the more insignificant people are, as long as they have a little power, they can't wait to shake their whole body, and they want to get the words "come and beg me" engraved on their faces...

  This situation has always been true regardless of ages.

The behavior of fighting grass valleys has always been decided by the tribal leaders, and Xianbei is an alliance system, and the centralization of power basically does not exist, so there is no need for such a trivial matter as fighting grass valleys. The reason for reporting and approving layer by layer?

   It's just that the head of Xianbei felt that Alan Yi and Lin Yinqin were easy to bully, so he deliberately made excuses to make things difficult.

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Lin Yinqin to reply, the Xianbei leader waved his hand, and the Xianbei people who followed behind separated out a dozen people, and headed towards the cart behind the Xiongnu queue, robbing food, grass and those livestock .

While the Xianbei people seized control of the luggage cart from the Huns, they saw something they liked in the tattered leather robes of the Huns, so they unceremoniously reached out and snatched it. If they thought it was okay, they stuffed it into their pockets. Li, if you feel that you have misjudged it and don’t like it, you can just throw it away and urge the horse to trample over it...

  The Xiongnu was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, but he didn't know whether he should resist or not, so he could only stare at Lin Yinqin, hoping that Lin Yinqin would come up with an idea...

Everyone in the Huns was so angry that they clenched their fists tightly, but they didn't dare to resist. They betrayed the Huns, defected to Xianbei, and fled all the way. Most of the able-bodied warriors were here, and there were only those left About Qianqi, compared with the peak period in Meiji, there is a difference of one sky and one place.

What's more, it belongs to the range of Xianbei's armed forces. Compared with the surrounding Xianbei tribes, there is a huge disparity in strength and weakness. If they dare to resist, the Xianbei army and horses will definitely slaughter all their men without mercy, and then kill their women, children and animals. , became the spoils of the Xianbei tribe.

  The fighting among grassland tribes has always been so cruel. In the past, they annexed other Ruoxiao tribes like this, and now Xianbei is the same.

   Lin Yinqin suddenly rode his horse and walked towards the Xianbei leader, smiling with him while still leaning slightly, as if he wanted to get closer to the Xianbei leader and say something to intercede. And that Xianbei headman kept a straight face, staring at Lin Yinqin out of the corner of his eye, waiting for Lin Yinqin to plead in front of him before mercilessly rejecting him.

  No one expected that Lin Yinqin got closer, suddenly drew out his saber, and put it on the neck of Xianbei leader!

   Lin Yinqin shouted loudly: "Tell them to stop! These food, grass and livestock are all hard-earned by our people! Even King Xianbei has no reason to take them all away!"

  A group of Xianbei cavalry were caught off guard and were attacked by Lin Yinqin. They shouted loudly and pointed their weapons and spears at them.

   "You! Do you dare to try..."

  Headman Xianbei was stubborn at first, but Lin Yinqin applied a little force, the sharp blade cut his neck, and when there was a trace of blood, the headman Xianbei faltered.

   While they were at a stalemate, suddenly a group of people came running from afar. Before the people arrived, the voice came here first: "Bi Xiaowang is here! Everyone stop!"

  At the moment, whether it is the Xianbei or the Huns, they all lowered their swords and guns, and retreated a few steps to the sides to make way for a road.

   "What's going on?" A lazy voice came over, "I have no strength to do anything, right? If you don't put away your knives and guns, I'll dismount and run for thirty or fifty miles..."

  I saw a young man surrounded by dozens of Xianbei cavalry, and it was Tuoba Guoluo, the young king who was most favored by the Xianbei king at the moment.

  At this time, Lin Yinqin had also put away his knife, got off his horse, and greeted Tuoba Guoluo with his chest.

The Xianbei leader of the small tribe was about to step forward to say goodbye, and before he had time to perform the wedding boot ceremony, he was grabbed by Tuoba Guoluo, and then said with a smile: "He Lai's little calf, right? Haha Haha, I have heard about your reputation from the king..."

The little head of Xianbei was overjoyed immediately, and rubbed his hands in embarrassment, a little twitching, but then asked expectantly: "Really? Did King Xianbei mention me? I don't know... I don't know, this, what are you talking about me? "

"Hahaha..." Tuoba Guoluo looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, then patted Xianbei's shoulder heavily, "... I want to know what King Xianbei said? How can what King Xianbei said be passed around at will? This You don’t understand. If King Xianbei originally wanted to reuse you, but others found out, would others block you and say bad things about you? Think about it, right? So I want to keep it a secret for you Ah... okay, leave it to me here, you go back first, get ready for what you should prepare, lest something goes wrong when the time comes..."

  So the little headman of Xianbei thanked him and left. He only circled back and forth in his mind about what he should prepare when he returned to the tribe, so he threw the scumbags to the back of his head...

  Tuoba Guoluo waved to Lin Yinqin, beckoning him to come closer, and then said with a smile: "Haha, this temper...it doesn't seem to have changed much..."

  Lin Yinqin looked at Tuoba Guoluo, saluted, and said with a wry smile: "Thank you, Xiao Wang, for your help..."

   "It's easy to say, easy to say..." Tuoba Guoluo waved his hand, and dozens of Xianbei guards immediately spread out to guard around, leaving some space for the two of them.

  Tuoba Guoluo looked at the Huns beside him, and said, "It seems that life is a bit difficult...how, do you need me to help?"

  Lin Yinqin glanced at Tuoba Guoluo, shook his head and said, "No, thank you Xiao Wang for your kindness, I appreciate it... Xiao Wang took me by the side for a long time, didn't he just come here to see my joke?"

   "Where is it, I just happened to pass by..." Tuoba Guoluo flatly denied it at first, and then he laughed a few times, "...well, well, I just came here to find you two..."

  Tuoba Guoluo raised his head to the sky, watched the wind on the prairie blow the clouds in the sky, and said after a long time: "The king wants to raise troops to attack Yinshan..."

  Lin Yinqin was silent for a long time before saying: "Fight now? Yinshan is not like Meiji, it is not easy to fight, it will take a long time, once the horses start mating..."

  Tuoba Guoluo nodded, shook his head again, and said: "Not now...even if you want to fight now, each tribe may not be able to gather people, but you always have to prepare..."

   It is about to enter the estrus period of cattle and horses and other livestock. At this time point, these nomads are most concerned about their own livestock, and they will not easily start any battles. After all, this is related to their future livelihood.

Lin Yinqin led his troops out to plunder, in order to let the people in the tribe have more food and grass to eat, without consuming the livestock in the tribe. You must know that in this livestock breeding season, it is good to have one more strong cattle and sheep of…

Of course, Tuoba Guoluo knew about this matter, but the Xianbei tribe is too big and scattered, and it will take a while to get together and take action, so start preparing now, and it will be almost the same by autumn .

If there is no accident, he is still the leader this time, but he also knows that the Han who can clean up Yinshan Xianbei is by no means a good stubble, and now there is a great possibility that he will confront such a Han. Naturally, they found Lin Yinqin to learn more about their corresponding situation.

"...If it's not easy to fight, you have to fight..." Tuoba Guoluo said, "Your Majesty has an order, how can you not obey it? However, I heard that the two of you know Huchuquan? I don't know if you know the people around Huchuquan ?”

  Lin Yinqin said: "I recognize Hu Chuquan, but who is around him... this is not necessarily the case..."

"It's okay, you can go with me later," Tuoba Guoluo suddenly said with a serious face, "If it wasn't for the seriousness of this matter, I would not come to you. You know, this matter only Your Majesty, me, and you, a few people know, if the news is leaked...you know...so call someone over later, and explain what needs to be done, so that everyone can rest assured. Before the order is finally issued, come to my place and be a good guest..."

  Lin Yinqin nodded, and said very simply: "Okay! Just follow Xiao Wang's orders!"

Tuoba Guoluo put on a smiling face again, and said with a smile: "Ah, I haven't asked you what kind of slave girl you like? A fatter one or a thinner one? Do you want one or two? Since it's my place When you are a guest, you always want to satisfy the guests, don't you? Haha, hahaha..."
