Sweep the World

To the east of the North Sea, although it is only the end of autumn, the sky is constantly falling snow.

Looking up, the branches and leaves of the treetops were covered with snow, the frozen soil on the ground was black and white, and the field of vision was full of spots of white and other colors.

"It's a dead end, but it's just a dying struggle." Murong Ke didn't wear a mask as usual on his face. After a long period of wind and sun, his once peerless beauty, his facial features were still bright and beautiful, but his skin became rough and unbearable. "We can't go back long ago."

"Yes, I can't go back." Tuoba Han said full of vicissitudes.

The two remnants of Xianbei didn't get along in harmony at the beginning after they flee. It should be said that they fought hard for the pasture.

They have been fighting each other for two or three years. The population of each department is getting smaller and smaller. They realize that if they continue to fight, they will inevitably become weaker. They use the most sensible way of negotiation to divide the pasture. Although there are still many contradictions, they are not. The war broke out again, but it was a little settled down.

The north of Xing'an Mountains is not such a good place. There are at least two seasons of the year in an icy and snowy environment. If there is a worse year, there are even three seasons where the snow and ice will not melt.

Farming peoples eat food according to the sky, and nomads are actually the same. It can even be said that farming peoples are less dependent on the climate than nomads.

Staying in an environment where most of the time is icy and snowy, there is not enough grassland, which means that the livestock lacks enough fodder.

Once there is not enough fodder, the livestock will multiply, not even how to ensure that the number of livestock does not drop rapidly.

Regardless of whether the nomads live by grazing, the main food of ordinary people among them is not meat. In fact, it is a variety of cheese products. Ordinary people want to eat meat because they die of livestock diseases.

Without sufficient materials, it is not easy for livestock to reproduce, and even the milk production of female livestock is seriously insufficient.

For the two remnants of Xianbei, they came to a barren land, where grazing was difficult to maintain a food source, and the frozen soil did not have the basis for farming. Fortunately, there were many wild animals around.

The only point is that even if there are enough beasts in the first place, repeated hunting will kill them, and even if the beasts are allowed to migrate, they will gradually fall into the dilemma of lack of food sources.

Whether it is a farming nation or a nomadic nation, the basis for an increase in population is enough food. Without sufficient food, the population will only show a downward trend.

Within a few years, the total population of the Tuoba Remnants and Murong Remnants had dropped to a little over 100,000, and they had fallen from the level of contact with civilization to the stage of retreating to a stage where they were almost drinking blood.

If the leaders of the two remnants of Xianbei were somewhat ambitious, they would have been like the nomadic peoples who had been in the past, either self-destroying and splitting into wild tribes without knowing how many, or being digested by the surrounding powerful peoples. .

"The dominance of the Han people is beyond our imagination." Murong Ke lowered his head and touched the horse's mane.

The two remnants of Xianbei did not pose a threat to the Han Empire in any way. It should be the Rouran tribal alliance with a population of more than one million and Donggaoche and Xigaoche that were the biggest threat to the Han Empire.

According to the usual truth, even if the Han Empire hates the Tuoba Remnant and Murong Remnant, it should temporarily ignore the two Xianbei Remnants, which are not of much threat, and concentrate their efforts on the alliance with the Rouran tribe and Donggaoche. , Xigao Che is going to war, right?

"It's the Han people who are too strong." Tuobahan smiled bitterly. "Strong enough to go to war across the board."

Murong Ke smiled bitterly, he also knew the truth.

The remnants of Tuoba and Murong ventured through the Greater Xing'an Mountains. There were about 80,000 people left before they entered the forest, but less than 50,000 left after they left the forest.

The people were folded in half, but the rest was the essence. They accepted Yu Jiulu Bati's proposal to go to the Alliance, and they would not tell the leaders of the coalition forces explicitly, and even wanted to take out all their homes to fill the front.

When Murong Xianbei retreated, he not only took away a large number of people in Liaodong, but also his wealth and materials. This is also the reason why they were able to sustain themselves in a completely unfamiliar wild area after they were able to lose their territory. But they still underestimated the harshness of the unfamiliar environment, especially the difficulty of obtaining food.

"I have three thousand armors and equipment, and you have one thousand and eight hundred." Murong Ke said playfully. "Only those forces are not lost to the 100,000 soldiers of the allied forces. What do you think they will think about?"

"It's not reliance, it's jealousy." Tuoba Han said truthfully, "If we let them know that our tribe has little left, I'm afraid they will be more inclined to kill us."

Most of the vehicles of the two remnants of Xianbei who were on the road were left in the forest area, and there were not many livestock in the team. It was difficult for the whole team to see the elderly and children, and even women were extremely few.

If a tribe is composed of young men, it seems that it still has enough force, but it depends on the existence of other tribes around them.

If it can invade the surrounding area by force, and continue to defeat and annex other tribes, it will naturally be able to develop again.

If it is difficult to use aggressive methods to normalize the proportions of the tribal population, such as obtaining a sufficient number of women, then it may seem that the force is strong for a while, and it will definitely not escape the fate of disappearance.

Isn’t the annoying old man just a powerful nomad, but they not only like to slaughter the defeated indiscriminately, but also indifferent to their own women. As a result, the gap in the ratio of men to women has increased again and again, finally waiting for a generation of young, strong and old people. Old and dead, Lou Fan disappeared in the long river of history.

Alliance with the tribes to fight the Han Empire desperately

Murong Ke would not make such a choice. If he had to work hard, he would have a better choice.

Tuobahan did not conceal from Murong Ke that he had taken refuge in the Han Empire. He and Murong Ke had already reached an agreement.

The remnants of Tuoba Xianbei formed false alliances with the various tribes, and what they will do is to serve as the internal response of the Han army. After this battle is over, they will belong to the Han Empire, accept the tribe and be the end of the Han.

Judging from the various signs and the news gathered from all sides, when today I want to say which of the various tribes to look at it differently, it is undoubtedly the Tuoba clan.

According to the understanding of the world, the emperor's relative kindness to Tuoba Xianbei was out of his love for Tuoba Xiu, and even the Tuoba family believed that it was exactly that way.

The Tuoba clan was protected by Tuoba Xiu. Although they no longer had the name Tuoba Xianbei after they were attached to the Han Empire, the Tuoba clan did not perish. For them, compared to the Jie clan and other tribes that were extinguished by the clan, they had already ended up being the best one.

Murong Ke often asked himself if Murong Xianbei could also get Tuoba Xianbei's treatment, would he choose to give up like Tuoba Han.

Every time he asks himself, Murong Ke's answer is "Yes." But Murong Xianbei didn't have a Tuoba show, and they didn't dare and couldn't entrust their destiny to the unknown.

He didn't dare to return, and his heart was not completely wiped out after having great brilliance. Murong Ke chose to take another path.

On a day of heavy snowfall, the two remnants of Xianbei who had travelled a long way came to the gathering place where all ethnic groups met.

Yu Jiulvabati and Afulijian joined hands to welcome the arrival of Murongke and Tuobahan.

The two had been informed before that a large number of armored equipment appeared in the two Xianbei armies, and they saw the armored equipment personally after they came out, and their attitude was enthusiastic enough to melt the ice and snow.

"Two sure believers" Yu Jiulü Bati has a rough appearance and a thicker voice. After a burst of "haha" laughter, he said, "There are two helping each other to defeat the Han army."

A Fuli Jian was originally taking steps and wanted to speak first, but Yu Jiulü Bati snatched a first look and flashed through the haze.

Murong Xianbei once entered the Central Plains and was influenced by many cultures of the Xia Dynasty. In just a few decades, he has worn the same clothes as the Han people.

Although Tuoba Xianbei had never entered the Central Plains, a considerable number of Han scholars went to work, and they also approached Zhuxia in terms of culture.

A group of people, even though Murongke and Tuobahan are wearing armor, the outer cloak and the clothes inside the armor are all of Zhuxia's style. It looks so out of place when you look at it.

Facing the enthusiasm of Yu Jiulvabati and Afulijian, Murong Ke and Tuobahan looked at each other.

"Thank Khan for welcoming him personally." Murong Ke smiled boldly, and said, "For those who are depressed, please take care of Khan in the future."

Tuoba Han also said something similar.

They speak that way, but they don't seem to be inferior at all, and they show a little pride in some aspects.

Yu Jiulu Bati seemed to have failed to see the attitude of the two Xianbei leaders, and still enthusiastically invited the two to enter the camp, saying that he would order people to treat the rest of Xianbei who came to help.

"It's a good word," Afu Lijian said to Rouran's brave general Avoganzefu, "they have contempt in their eyes."

"It's nothing." Avoganzefu said bluntly. "If I have thousands of soldiers, that's the same attitude."

"Jia Shi" Afu Lijian had no words to refute for a moment, and he snarled for a while and said, "Yes."

The entire Rouran tribal alliance is not sure if it can make up five hundred sets of iron armor, it is because Rouran has had a friendly period with the Han Empire.

Donggaoche is too far away from the Han Empire, they have not developed any level, it is a nomadic form close to the Stone Age, not to mention iron armor, not even metal weapons.

Donggaoche didn’t have a deep impression on the power of the Han Empire before, but he saw that the Rouran people who could rub themselves on the ground were beaten by the Han army without any power. This is the basis for the power of the Han Empire. Imagine.

"Xianbei" Afu Lijian asked not so surely, "Is he beaten far away by the Han?"

Afuganzefu replied, "The Xianbei once smashed into the Central Plains. After decades of good times, they were indeed driven away by the Han people."

Ah Fuli nodded, his face thoughtful.

A long time ago, since the Xiongnu repeatedly lost to the Han family, the grassland has entered the stage of learning from Zhuxia. From that time on, learning to write Chinese characters and speak Chinese, and even learn the dressing habits of the Han people, was considered a way to become stronger.

Although the decline of the Western Jin Dynasty allowed the Hu people to enter the Central Plains, they still believed that Zhu Xia was a very powerful civilization and believed that learning from Zhu Xia was the only way to become strong.

If the Central Plains were buried in the Western Jin Dynasty, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty was still unable to recover from the Northern Expedition in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the powerful impression of Zhu Xia over time would definitely disappear and embark on a period of contempt for the civilization level of Zhu Xia.

Liu Yan changed history. Although the Han people declined for a while, they quickly stood up again, and took **** revenge on the Hus who invaded the Central Plains, especially the slaughter of the Jie people, and re-enables all ethnic groups to realize that the power of the Han is impossibly powerful. offend.

Now, although the Rouran people and the Dingling people are entering a full-scale war with the Han Empire, because they have been defeated and defeated on the battlefield, they admit that the civilization of the Han people is still the most powerful civilization in the world. , Seeing the serious trend of Sinicization of Xianbei people, not only didn't feel anything wrong, but also showed envy.

When everyone entered the camp, Murong Ke observed the situation in the camp, and saw the camp in an unusual chaos, a lightness appeared on his face. He is not a ignorant person, he can even be said to be a person who knows soldiers. Seeing that there is no order in the camp, he does not expect such an army to defeat the Han army. He is thankful for his early plans.

"When we were at its peak, we were a hundred times stronger than these barbarians." Tuobahan apparently had the same opinion, using the Xianbei dialect to lower his voice and said, "A hundred times stronger and still lost to the Han army. The Han army is now better than the one who defeated us. The time is more than ten times stronger, and the results of the war are clear at a glance~www.wuxiamtl.com~ They are still dreaming of defeating the Han army."

"Fight, it's better to lose more miserably." Murong Ke smiled friendly when seeing Ah Fuli Jian looking at him. His eyes were looking at Ah Fu Li Jian, and he said to Tuoba Han, "The worse they lose, the greater your credit, and you may be able to play a part and a half in the Han room. The tribe where I receive them can also be easier. ."

Tuobahan no longer responded. He chose to bring the remnants of Tuoba with him. On the one hand, he knew that the Han Empire was really powerless to resist, and on the other hand, all his ambitions had been wiped out. Even if he could get an official position, he would shirk him, and even wanted to be knighted. Live the life of a rich man.

"After leaving Dalin, we have already discussed that we will no longer use the name Xianbei." Murong Ke seemed to have made some major decision. "There will be no more Murong in the future. I decided to change my surname to Ashina."

"Ashina" Tuobahan didn't need to think too much, and asked, "Return to the roots, and decide to go to the west instead of going back to the east."

Murong Ke also thought about it for a long time before he made such a decision. He chose "Ashina" as a Xianbei language with a meaning, probably a noble wolf. The expression here is not to succumb to the arrogance of the Han, and it also means to recognize that you really can't beat the Han and to stay away.
