Chapter 975: Some people tolerate humiliation and others laugh.
?At almost the same time, there were some people in the Yanmen area who were thinking about this matter and chanting Fei Qian''s name. However, these people did not know that Fei Qian was now the General of Zhengxi. They thought that Fei Qian was still the Protector of the Hungarian Army.
On the broad prairie, a group of people and horses moved forward slowly, dragging their tired pace. This group of people all wore shabby felt hats and dirty leather robes. They were all covered in gray and dusty faces. They were extremely embarrassed. They looked like a group of down-and-out horse thieves...
This group of troops was the people who had taken refuge with the commanders of Alanyi and Linyinqin who came from the Xiongnu tribe.
These unruly Huns who once unified Monan and Mobei and spanned thousands of miles have now become like this, with no spirit at all, whether it is Alan Yi and Linyinqin who led the team, or the ordinary Huns who followed them. The tribesmen all lowered their heads, remained silent, and moved forward slowly.
These Huns who surrendered to Xianbei were equipped with the best equipment, including stinky leather armor, horned bows, and bone arrows. If they were barely qualified as ranger scouts, they would be a mess if they really wanted to fight on the battlefield, let alone beheaded. Killing, just the arrows before the battle is enough to make these unarmored Huns drink a pot.
No matter how powerful your riding skills are and how unafraid of life and death, you are still just an individual after all. If you shoot a crude bone arrow against iron armor, it may not even leave a mark, let alone break the armor, and the opponent''s weapon The arrowhead flew towards him, and his body without any protection could only rely on the nihilistic armor of "luck" to protect him.
Xianbei is currently full of tribes, large and small. Although Bu Dugen is in charge, they are still relatively chaotic and there is not much organization. Anyway, in this land, these tribes are used to relying on whoever is stronger. who.
?Hence, the Xiongnu tribes of Alanyi and Linyinqin, who wanted to be weaker, suffered a lot.
The men on the grassland, whether they are Xianbei or Xiongnu, adhere to the tribal system of the weak and the strong. Alan Yi and Lin Yinqin lost their momentum and naturally suffered bullying, although King Xianbei said that they should treat Alan Yi and Lin Yinqin kindly. , but in fact basically no one takes Alanyi and Linyinqin seriously.
Before, Alanyi and Linyinqin were still more or less the number one figures 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 Xianbei King Budugen, he didn’t have enough leisure time to manage this kind of thing, so he ignored it most of the time.
The tribesmen led by Alanyi and Linyinqin had to seek some external subsidies because the entire allocated pasture was not ideal. For the nomads, the most customary way of supplementation was naturally to farm next door. The ethnic groups are going to enjoy the autumn breeze...
Since it is a matter of great national integration, how can we not support it?
??It''s just that this time Lin Yinqin took his tribe out for five or six days, and the food and grass they seized were pitiful. At most, they were various miscellaneous grains worth less than 200 shi, and some tattered Gebu clothes, and that''s all.
This area of ??Yanmen has been invaded by barbarians all year round. Most of the wealthy nobles with families have moved away, leaving only those Kuhaha who have nowhere to go. How can they live without each other for a day? How many good things are there?
Behind the slowly returning team were several vehicles carrying the trophies. They were also in tatters, almost as if they were going to fall apart in the next moment, and they were creaking and twisting on the grass. On one side of the baggage train, several emaciated animals that had been stolen were being pulled with ropes.
Even with these inconspicuous things, Alan Yi and Lin Yinqin still sacrificed twenty or thirty lives of their clansmen. The Han people in the North are also extremely tough, not to mention that these grains and grass may have been saved by the family with great difficulty. How could he be willing to let Alan Yi, Lin Yinqin and others plunder and run away?
Lin Yinqin was at the front of the queue, with his dirty leather robe open and his body covered in mud. He was no different from the surrounding tribesmen, with a sullen face and a frown.
Since surrendering to Xianbei, Lin Yinqin''s originally fiery temperament has gradually faded away a lot. Now, when being shouted at, laughed at, and teased by some Xianbei people, Lin Yinqin could endure it without saying a word most of the time.
This time he took Alanyi and Linyinqin''s clan members out to plunder, and Linyinqin did it all personally. This was basically unimaginable before. After all, Alanyi and Linyinqin were both nobles of the Southern Huns royal court. , originally disdained to do such menial work.
?But now, everything has changed.
The reason is that Yuvluo, and more importantly, the Han man who protected the Hungarian general Fei Qian...
This time they were looking for Han people, um, to borrow food. The tribesmen found a small stronghold in the mountains. After Alan Yi and Lin Yinqin got the information, Lin Yinqin personally led the team and abandoned their horses to climb the mountain. He climbed up the wall of the village with a knife between his teeth, and finally killed the strong men in the village to obtain these seizures.
Just when Lin Yinqin was about to take his tribe back to the small pasture where he was with Alan Yi, a Xianbei team of dozens of people came running from the northeast.
The Xianbei cavalry whistled and galloped over the grass, their pigtails sticking to their scalp and jumping in the air. They were approaching. The leaders were Alan Yi and a Xianbei man from the grassland next to Linyinqin. .
The Xianbei leader stopped his men, then reined in his horse and turned twice in front of Linyinqin. He showed a ferocious smile to Linyinqin and loudly announced: "These grains and grass are ours, hand them over." !”
?The Huns under Linyinqin could not help but be startled, and then a look of anger appeared on their faces.
The pastures are poor, the cattle and sheep are thin, and their numbers have been exploited by the Xianbei. It turns out that returning from harvesting grain can last for some time, allowing the cattle and sheep to multiply during the season. In this way, their future life may be barely enough. Get by.
As a result, I risked my life and finally found a small village to collect just this little. However, the nearby Xianbei tribe smelled the fishy smell and came to intercept it, trying to **** it away at the drop of a hat!
??The Xianbei people laughed loudly, pointing at Lin Yinqin and others while holding knives and long bows. There was even a look of expectation in their eyes, as if to say, come on, come on...
??The Huns stared at the group of Xianbei, holding their knives, but when they met the Xianbei cavalry''s indifferent and provocative gaze, they gritted their teeth and endured it, and just turned their attention to Lin Yinqin.
Lin Yinqin, who had been silent all this time, could only step out from the crowd at this time. He bowed to the Xianbei small-headed man, stroked his chest as a gesture of courtesy, and said in a deep voice: "Our tribe found and conquered the village. According to the old rules, give 30% to Master Xianbei. We understand this, but taking it all away is against the rules, right?"
The Xianbei man snorted and sneered: "I didn''t expect you to know the rules! Okay, let''s talk about the rules! This area of ??Yanmen originally belonged to us Xianbei people. When will it be your turn to let the Huns Come to attack Caogu? Go to your Xiongnu territory to attack Caogu! Besides, who agreed to send troops to attack Caogu? If you are like you who ignore the order, then the military order of King Xianbei is still there. Do you want to comply?"
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 smaller the person is, as long as he has a little power, he wants to tremble all over, and he wants to have the four words "Come and beg me" carved on his face...
This situation has been true throughout the ages.
The act of plowing grass and paddy has always been done at the decision of the tribal leader, and Xianbei is an alliance system. Centralization of power basically does not exist, so even small things like plowing grass and paddy need to be done. What’s the rationale for reporting approval layer by layer?
??It''s just that the Xianbei people felt that Alanyi and Linyinqin were easy to bully, so they deliberately made excuses to make things difficult for them.
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Lin Yinqin to reply, the Xianbei leader waved his hand, and a dozen or so Xianbei people who were following him separated out and headed towards the baggage carts at the rear of the Xiongnu queue to **** grain, grass and livestock. .
While the Xianbei people seized control of the baggage train from the Huns, they saw something they liked in the Huns'' tattered leather robes, so they reached out and grabbed it without any ceremony. If they thought it was okay, they stuffed it into their arms. If you feel you have made a mistake and don''t like it, you just throw it away, rush your horse and trample it... The Huns were so angry that they blew their beards and stared, but they didn''t know whether they should resist or not, so they could only stare straight at Lin. Yinqin, I hope Linyinqin can come up with an idea...
All the Xiongnu people were so angry that they clenched their fists tightly, but they did not dare to resist. They betrayed the Xiongnu, defected to Xianbei, and fled all the way. Basically, all those who could fight were here, and there were only a few left. Qianqi Zuo, compared to his previous peak period in Meiji, is a world of difference.
Moreover, it is now within the scope of Xianbei''s military force. Compared with the surrounding large Xianbei tribes, the disparity in strength is extremely extreme. 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 livestock. , became the spoils of war for the Xianbei tribe.
The fighting and fighting among the grassland tribes has always been so cruel. They used to annex other small tribes like this, and the same is true now in Xianbei.
Lin Yinqin suddenly rode his horse and walked towards the Xianbei people. He was smiling and bowing slightly, as if he wanted to get closer to the Xianbei people and say something to plead with them. The Xianbei man looked at Linyinqin with a straight face, waiting for Linyinqin to plead in front of him and then reject him mercilessly.
No one expected that Lin Yinqin got closer, suddenly drew out his sword, and immediately put it on the Xianbei leader''s neck!
Lin Yinqin shouted loudly: "Let them stop! These grains and livestock are all obtained by our people''s hard work! Even the King of Xianbei has no reason to rob them all!"
A group of Xianbei cavalry were caught off guard and were attacked by Lin Yinqin. They shouted loudly and pointed their swords and spears at them. However, for a while, they were afraid of being afraid. They just surrounded Lin Yinqin and did not dare to take action.
“You! You dare to try it...”
??The Xianbei head man retorted harshly at first, but Lin Yinqin exerted a little force and the sharp blade scratched his neck. When a trace of blood appeared, the Xianbei head man gave up.
??While we were in a stalemate, suddenly a group of people came running from a distance. Before the people arrived, the voice reached here first: "Let the little king come! Everyone stop!"
?At this moment, both the Xianbei people and the Huns lowered their swords and spears, and took a few steps to both sides to make way for them.
"What are you making?" A lazy voice came over, "You have nothing to do with your strength, right? If you don''t put away your sword and gun, I will dismount and run for thirty or fifty miles..."
??Only dozens of Xianbei cavalry were seen, surrounded by a young man. It was Tuoba Guoluo, the young man who was most favored by King Xianbei at the moment.
?At this time, Linyinqin had already put away his sword, dismounted his horse, and greeted Tuoba Guoluo with his chest caressed.
The Xianbei leader of the small tribe was about to step forward to say something. Before he had time to perform the boot ceremony, he was grabbed by Tuoba Guoluo, and then said with a smile: "The calf of the He Lai family, right? Haha. Haha, I have heard of your reputation from the king..."
The little Xianbei man immediately beamed with joy. He rubbed his hands in embarrassment, a little embarrassed, but asked expectantly: "Really? Did King Xianbei mention me? I don''t know...I don''t know, what did you say about me?" "
"Hahaha..." Tuoba Guoluo laughed up to the sky a few times, and then patted the little Xianbei man''s shoulder heavily, "...I want to know what King Xianbei said? How can what King Xianbei say be passed around at will? This You don’t understand, right? If King Xianbei originally wanted to re-appoint you, but someone else found out, would they give you some trouble and say bad things about you? That’s why I want to keep it a secret from you? Ah...Okay, leave this to me. You can go back first and prepare what you need to prepare, so as not to make any mistakes..."
?So the Xianbei little-headed man left with a lot of gratitude. He only thought about what he should prepare when he returned to the tribe, and threw the troubles he had just made behind his mind...
?Tuoba Guoluo waved to Linyinqin, motioning for him to come closer, and then said with a smile: "Haha, this temper... It seems that it hasn''t changed much..."
Lin Yinqin looked at Tuoba Guoluo, bowed, and said with a wry smile: "Thank you so much, Xiao Wang, for your help..."
"Easy to say, easy to say..." Tuoba Guoluo waved his hand, and dozens of Xianbei guards immediately dispersed and were on guard, leaving some space for the two of them.
Tuoba Guoluo looked at the Huns on the side and said, "It seems like you are having a hard time... What, do you need my help?"
Lin Yinqin glanced at Tuoba Guoluo, shook his head and said, "No, thank you very much, Xiao Wang, for your kindness. I understand... Xiao Wang has been keeping me aside for a long time, isn''t it just to see my jokes?"
"I mean, I just happened to be passing by..." Tuoba Guoluo denied it flatly at first, and then laughed twice, "...Okay, okay, I just came to see you two..."
?Tuoba Guoluo raised his head to the sky and watched the wind on the grassland blowing the clouds in the sky. After a long time, he said: "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. The time will drag on. Once the war horses start to mate..."
Tuoba Guoluo nodded, shook his head, and said, "Not now... Even if we want to fight now, each tribe may not be able to gather the people, but we always have to prepare..."
The estrus period of cattle, horses and other livestock is about to enter. At this time point, these nomadic people are most concerned about their livestock and will not easily launch any battles. After all, this is related to their future livelihood.
Lin Yinqin led his troops out to plunder, so that the people in the tribe could 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 also knows about this matter, but the Xianbei tribe is too big and scattered. It will naturally take a while to gather and take action, so start preparations now, and it will be almost ready by autumn. .
If nothing else goes wrong, he will still lead the troops this time, but he also knows that a Han who can clean up Yinshan Xianbei is definitely not a good person. Now there is a high possibility that he will have to confront such a Han. Naturally, I found Lin Yinqin and the two to learn more about the corresponding situation.
"...If you don''t want to fight, you have to fight..." Tuoba Guoluo said, "The king has an order, how can you disobey it? However, I heard that you two know Huchuquan? I don''t know if you know the people around Huchuquan. ?”
?Lin Yinqin said: "I recognize Huchuquan, but who is around him... This is not necessarily the case..."
"It''s okay, you can accompany me for a walk later," Tuoba Guoluo suddenly changed his serious expression and said, "If it weren''t for this matter of great importance, I wouldn''t come to you. You know, this matter is only Your Majesty, I, and you, a few people know that if the news is leaked... you will understand... So I will call someone over later to explain what needs to be explained, so that everyone can rest assured. As for you... During these times, in Your Majesty''s Before the order is finally issued, please come and be my guest..."
?Lin Yinqin nodded and said simply: "Okay! Just follow Xiao Wang''s instructions!"
Tuoba Guoluo put on a smiling face again and said with a smile: "Ah, I haven''t asked you what kind of female slave you like? Fatter or thinner? Do you want one or two? Since it''s my place When you are a guest, you always want to satisfy the guest, right? Haha, hahaha..."
