Lu Pi's life can be described as extremely bumpy, but what is unexpected is that such a nobleman with an embarrassed identity and a character who is not willing to be mediocre has not suffered much, even himself, and finally even reached the status of King Youxian. .
And it was his mother, Princess Lelang Feng Yan, who reversed his tragic life.
A princess married in a barbaric country, in order to gain a foothold in Rouran's royal court, and have such an embarrassing and important identity, she has sacrificed too much. She even conceived Datan's child when Lubi was most abandoned by Datan. Although the child was a girl, it was enough to reverse the dejected situation at that time.
When Tuoba Tao's crisis appeared, Lu Pi naturally fell into a choice that all men would hesitate to choose, whether to accept the call of his inner ambition or choose his own family.
The final result is obvious, otherwise Lu Pi would not have appeared here.
Lu Pi would choose to come to Difuchi, except that he couldn't convince his inner conscience. After thinking about it, he thought that catching Tuoba Tao would be of no benefit to him.
After doing this, he was bound to face the situation where Wei Guo took his mother and sister as hostages, which was not what he wanted to face.
He is from Rouran, and even if Tuoba Tao is captured, he will not be able to ascend to the throne of Wei Kingdom. And if he obtains Rouran's Khan King by capturing Tuoba Tao, then such humiliation will always be remembered in the hearts of all Xianbei people. If the Wei people can step on Rouran once, they can step on Rouran for the second time and the third time. …
What does he want from a dilapidated Rouran who is always surrounded by powerful enemies
As for the mysterious Gaoche girl, according to her character, if he used this method to get her, I'm afraid he will never have peace from now on.
A woman who is wise, resilient, and hates herself enough to destroy his family and his life, and make him live in regret for the rest of his life.
In the Difuchi camp, Princess Lelang was "protected" by a group of Wei soldiers with a cold face. Yang Zhe hugged her daughter Crescent Moon and stood tightly behind her, looking like a family.
The soldiers of Wei State didn't seem to know why they were sent to do such a thing, but they knew that this woman's identity was very unusual, so they tried to treat them with a polite and kind face.
But this didn't ease the worries and unease in Princess Lelang's heart. She originally thought that the camp that was foolproof was first attacked by the Rouran people, and now it is under house arrest by the Wei people. There must be some twists and turns and reasons.
'Do they think these Rourans are related to me? '
Princess Lelang thought quickly in her heart.
'No, if that was the case, they would have put me under house arrest in the first place, not just now... So what the hell happened? '
Princess Lelang, who is thinking slightly sideways, has a charming charm. This woman is now in her forties, but she still has the appearance and bearing of a young woman.
When Princess Lelang was still and thinking about her situation, she showed a cold and almost inviolable expression. This solemnity made Wei's soldiers more and more respectful, while Yang Zhe...
Yang Zhe has been staring blankly at Princess Lelang for a long time.
He thought that he was probably captured by this look.
Every time he was in danger, it was this sudden dignity that reassured him and quietly sheltered her from the wind and rain.
She is a person with such peace of mind that no one can destroy her peace no matter how violent the storm outside is.
A woman has not panicked, how can he be in chaos
Let's wait and see.
***
Lu Pi led the army to the south of Difuchi camp quickly, he did not raise the king's flag, but all the Rouran people present showed a look of excitement.
In their eyes, Lu Pi must have come to rescue them, otherwise they would not have marched at night.
When Lu Pi's army approached the camp, they could see the situation on the scene clearly through the torches of the Rouran people.
The Gaoche man who was surrounded by the clearing shivered, but so did the arm of the Rouran man holding the longbow. That's because the muscles have begun to spasm after holding a position for a long time.
Lu Pi glanced at him amusingly, and immediately contempt for the famous Xianbei cavalry.
'But hundreds of Gaoche people, even if they die here now, Gaoche people will only hate the Rouran people instead of their Wei people, and they put on such a confrontation... '
Lu Pi sent a confidant to the second prince and asked them to quickly move closer to his team and stop entangled in the camp.
The confidant who got the order quickly ran to the Rouran people and conveyed Lu Pi's order.
The second and third princes, look at me, I look at you, and then look at the Rouran people on the field, and finally they are ready to retreat.
"We withdraw!"
After receiving reinforcements, they also expected to join forces to attack the two princes in the main camp, and immediately ordered to withdraw their troops.
"What about these tall people?"
A soldier asked hesitantly.
"These slaves who eat inside and out..."
The third prince opened his mouth cruelly and spat out two words.
"killed!"
In an instant, the Rouran who had been holding the longbow could finally relax their muscles. Countless arrows rushed towards the tall man in the open space as if they had finally found the value of their existence.
Some reacted quickly and fell to the ground immediately, but more closed their eyes to accept the ruthless toy that fate brought them.
The Rouran people retreated very quickly, and they could hardly hold on anymore. At this time, the arrival of Lu Pi immediately gave them hope and made them madly run towards the "friendly army".
"no no!"
Yu Zhenli looked at his "Gaoche Girl" and hugged the little boy, blocking the deadly arrow for him, and immediately let out a hysterical roar.
With his roar, it was like a thunder that sounded out of thin air in the dry land, and the enraged Wei cavalry rushed out immediately, holding bows and arrows and weapons in their hands, chasing at the rear.
"Come back! Respond quickly!"
Several generals saw that the situation was not good, and immediately Ming Jin asked the cavalry who rushed out to return to defense. However, the Wei soldiers, whose eyes and brains were reddened by anger, seemed to be unable to hear the command of the general, and continued to fall behind this Rouran army, shooting arrows of their anger.
After a long confrontation and hard persistence, the Gaoche people they wanted to protect still ushered in their deaths in this way. This made them feel a sense of absurdity being played by fate and the enemy. In order to dispel this sense of absurdity, they rushed out desperately, wanting to let the other party understand the end of it.
The second and third princes looked at the hundreds of cavalry soldiers in the rear with disdain, and seemed to have seen how these people were being eaten away by them.
He didn't know that what awaited them was a completely unpredictable fate.
The second and third princes ran all the way to Lu Pi, and before they could thank them politely, they were pulled off their horses by the warriors who had already prepared, and they were tied into a zongzi, stuffed in their mouths and blindfolded.
Not to mention the second and third princes, even the Rouran people they brought were stunned by such a reversal, and some people even thought that this Lu Pi was transformed by a mage of the enemy country, and this group were all phantoms...
Otherwise, how could their Right Xian Wang do such a crazy thing
"Mo Khan Heshenggai Khan is dead, and the second and third princes have been captured by me. According to Rouran's rules, you are all cavalry under my tent now."
Lu Pi lied that the Khan was dead, and succeeded in making these people even more flustered.
"Be loyal to me and fight for me!"
Rouran, who was stunned by these successive changes, stood in uncertainty, but the Wei State cavalry at the rear had already rushed over.
Lu Pi ordered his men to stand still. The second prince and the third prince were chased by hundreds of cavalry and ran around. All of a sudden, he felt that the front was a trap, and then he felt that the cavalry in the back were like mad dogs, ignoring their lives. , was already terrified.
"They killed her! They killed her!"
Yu Zhenli's eyes were red, and his eyes only stared at the few Rouran people who had just shot arrows.
He couldn't see how many people were in front of him, and he didn't know what happened in front of him, he only knew how to kill! kill! kill! Kill until you get close to those Rouran people who have shot arrows!
The Wei army probably saw that the two Rouran teams should be engaged in internal strife, and immediately the leader led the cavalry to chase the fleeing army.
Under the boundless night, there is a puzzling scene:
Thousands of Rouran cavalry were chased by several hundred people from Wei State and ran everywhere, and in front of the thousands of cavalry were tens of thousands of cavalry who were motionless and looked like wooden stakes. They wanted to rush into the "friendly army" team, but were pointed at by their compatriots with bows and arrows, and had to turn back to face more and more Wei soldiers coming in.
The Rouran people who were caught in the middle were at a loss. They were not accepted by King Youxian, and they were hunted down by the people of Wei. What happened to end up like this!
Isn't that King Right Xian? Isn't it Rouran's royal family
"Be loyal to me and fight for me!"
Lu Pi ordered someone to shout again.
"Bend your knees to me, and let me drive!"
More and more Rouran people heard his words, madly rushed to the front of Lu Pi's formation, knelt down on their knees, and kissed the land that Lu Pi's horse had stepped on.
The people of Wei who caught up behind looked at this crazy enemy leader in a daze. He actually bought people's hearts at this time? !
For a while, these people's hearts were filled with contempt and suffocation.
In the barracks of Difuchi, the clanging of golden troops was heard over and over again. The Wei State cavalry, who was surprised by the scene in front of them, seemed to gradually find their wolves and began to return to the rear camp with the clanging of gold.
Yu Zhenli had already rushed to the front, but was blocked by his fellow robes and demanded to return immediately.
Now there are more than 10,000 people in Lu Pi, and their cavalry is not enough for others. Although I don't know why the other party didn't kill him directly, it was a blessing to save his life. Who would care about this
Yu Zhenli knew that he couldn't get close to the enemy general no matter what, but the anger in his heart could not be vented, so he gritted his teeth, crossed the iron spear in his right hand, and threw it in the direction of the enemy general with all his strength.
With a bang, the iron spear flew over the heads of several people like a huge arrow, and slanted obliquely on the ground not far in front of Lu Pi's body.
Such strength and distance made Lu Pi moved, and looked straight at the cavalry who threw the iron spear.
In the dark night, Yu Zhenli and Lu Pi's eyes collided strangely. The unwillingness and hatred in Yu Zhenli's eyes made Lu Pi withdraw his gaze slightly, turned his head away, and ordered his subordinates to recruit the cavalry that the second and third princes had defeated.
The Difuchi camp is now in chaos, the cries of Gaoche people, the sound of gold, and the orders of the generals guarding the camp leading all the soldiers to be on guard late at night, all messed up into Lu Pi's ears.
Maybe the dark night can really breed demons. Lu Pi just watched and listened for a while, and many thoughts came to his mind.
'These Xianbei people are in such a mess now. I will kill them with a large army. Maybe this camp will be trampled down...'
He raised his head slightly.
'If I go to control those Gaoche people now and use them as a threat, she will definitely show up obediently, maybe the Gaoche family can also submit to me from now on...'
'There is so much baggage and food in the rear. If I can get it, I will lead the tens of thousands of cavalry to take down Western Qin and Beiliang. Maybe I will be able to achieve a king's dominance in the future...'
'I've come so far, and I can't let me go back empty-handed. My son-in-law follows me and always has a full stomach. Even if I take a bit of Weiren while I'm in a mess, or just swallow their stuff, they won't be able to do anything with me, but thank me for the relief. … '
Lu Pi was almost persuaded by the turmoil in his heart, and he even began to order the generals to inquire about the fact and the number of people in the main camp.
But at this moment, a horn was suddenly heard, and the camp began to fall silent. Two horses in the distance came close to them and shouted:
"Our general said that you have too many people with you, please step back twenty miles, otherwise if you frighten the nobles, it will be a little unbeautiful!"
Who the "noble person" is, naturally only both parties know.
Lu Pi knew that his coming here would definitely make people suspicious, but he was not angry at the moment, and smiled slightly: "Tell your generals, I heard the news that the 'noble' is in trouble, and immediately led my subordinates to rescue. Now it is for you to solve the problem. After the siege, but the people are tired and the horses are tired, and the stomach is hungry, how can you treat your friends like this?"
He was not going to attack Wei Ying, but if the Xianbei people felt that they could command him by controlling his mother and sister, then he would be too unwilling.
Although Lu Pi and Tuoba Tao had a covenant, they did not distinguish between masters and servants, only mutual benefit. He was worried that the royal court would be damaged, so he sent his mother and sister to the people of Wei, so he was sure that Wei would win in this battle.
Although he didn't want to be an enemy of the Wei people, he couldn't hold on to the current consumption of food and grass on the march.
The cavalry from Wei didn't seem to have expected the other party to have such conditions, and immediately someone went back to spread the word. After a while, the cavalry came back, bringing back the decision of the Divchi camp.
"Our general said that we welcome friends, so please come to the camp as a guest, and meet the nobles by the way." The cavalry who passed the message also seemed to think that such a request was too much, and said in the glaring eyes of everyone behind Lu Pi: "It's just that I didn't go to a friend's house as a guest and brought so many people with me. I also ask for your forgiveness from King Youxian."
This is the hope that Lu Pi will let the army retreat, and the light car will enter the Difuchi camp in a simple manner.
It's not like Lu Pi hasn't done something like this.
He once brought ten warriors into the Jinshan Camp in order to explore the whereabouts of "Di Hua Mulan".
"King Youxian, I'm worried about cheating." Lu Pi's entourage said hesitantly, "If they hold the lady and the princess to hold you down, wouldn't you have to obediently do as they say?"
"I've already made this step, I'm afraid it won't be two days before Quan Rouran knows that I've betrayed." Lu Pi sighed, "You bring people out of the Shili camp, if I don't come back, you will rob them. The baggage and provisions of this camp should flee westward."
"How can you..."
"It's not that bad. You are my support. I came here to see my grandmother. Now I haven't even seen my grandmother. How can I go back? Besides, I still have to ask Wei people for some food and grass."
Lu Pi ordered hundreds of elite warriors to press down the captured second and third princes, and the group followed the messengers sent by the Difuchi camp towards the main camp.
The other party didn't seem to have expected Lu Pi to come so simply. In an instant, all the torches of the entire camp were lit, and the entire camp was illuminated like daylight.
The Gaoche people, who had just suffered, watched the group of Rouran people enter the camp with cold eyes. When they passed by, they cast hostile eyes, spat and cursed.
Although they were saved, they didn't know what happened. They only knew that the tall man who surrounded the open space was ordered to be shot because of this man.
This massacre caused the death of thousands of people from the Gaoche tribe. Many sturdy women and children who were able to run survived, but the elderly were the most dead. Every old man may have countless descendants and descendants, and these descendants and descendants will always remember this day,
The hatred of young people and children has always been the most brewing fruit of malice. The righteous king of Lubi should not seek refuge with the people of Wei, which is why the hatred in his heart blossomed.
Lu Pi naturally understood the power of hatred. As soon as they entered the camp, they felt the overwhelming hatred, which made him smile again and again, and wished he could shout "It's not my order".
In the eyes of these Gaoche people, there is no righteous king, second prince, third prince, they are all Rouran people. He can't be a Rouran person now, and he can't be a Wei country person, and even Gaoche people are hostile to him, so why did he come so hard to come here!
'I'm here to save people, why do you hate me? And if I don't die, the tall people hate me...'
Thinking of this, Lu Pi felt a little irritable.
'Should I grow my beard again, or I might be secretly stabbed when I see Gaoche people in the future. '
'If someone adds fuel to her jealousy and talks nonsense to her, she must hate me even more. No, I can't take the blame...'
Lu Pi really didn't pay attention to the hundreds of Gaoche people, but because he came and accepted the people of the second and third princes, the Gaoche people put this matter on his head. Makes sense.
It's just that the timing is too unfavorable for him. In fact, those hundreds of tall people have nothing to do anyway. Wei Ren can't take the blame, so he is inexplicable.
Lu Pi, who was in a bad mood, would not look good again when he encountered this kind of thing again, so when Lu Pi saw his mother, the lady who had been standing still showed a surprised look and blurted out. : "What happened to you?"
If she didn't know why she was placed under house arrest before, but now that her son came in person, she also understood a little.
He has Hulu Khan and the young men in his own territory, and an army of several thousand people can be assembled at any time. When such a general of an enemy country comes, as long as someone with some brains will not take it lightly.
When Lu Pi saw that his mother and sister were all well, and Mr. Yang Zhe followed behind his mother with a normal expression, he felt relieved, and it seemed that he couldn't remember a single word that he wanted to say.
He showed his face slightly, showing a smile that a young man should have.
"It's nothing. When I heard that someone would come to harass you, I rushed over. It's all right now."
In a short paragraph, the generals in the tent looked at each other in dismay.
The general guarding the camp coughed and started talking to Lu Pi about what he said about being "starving".
What Lu Pi said was very succinct. He led people to travel quickly, but he did not bring much supplies. Now that he has taken back the remnants of the second and third princes, there is really no way to continue the march, so he can only camp at the water source. stay.
This is a bit shameful, and several generals almost didn't say "then you scattered your subordinates to graze".
Everyone knows that this is impossible. What Lu Pi is holding in his hand should already be the only remaining intact team of Rouran. Anyone who gets such an army will not easily disperse.
If Princess Lelang hadn't been here, I'm afraid Lu Adja couldn't do the "consultation", so he would take it himself.
The generals guarding the camp wanted to bargain with Lu Pi, but the latter left behind a shocking piece of information:
"The royal court of Rouran was destroyed, and several princes dragged the armies of Difuchi and Tuyuanshui, but they were trying to plot against your great khans. You are still arguing about food and grass, and when you ask me for help, Should I procrastinate like you do?"
"what?"
"That's impossible!"
Lu Pi dropped these words and stopped talking, and instead reached out to his sister and teased her.
When several generals saw that things were not going well, they didn't have the heart to discuss with him again, so they immediately pressed the second and third princes to go down to inquire. become cold.
It was Princess Lelang who was still worried and asked, and Lu Pi only explained the matter that she had been ordered to come to Difuchi.
As soon as his words came out, everyone naturally knew what kind of choice Lu Pi had made. The main general of the defending army almost immediately gave a big gift to Lu Pi, went out to assemble the army to prepare for the rescue of Zhuoye Mountain, and even promised to take on the responsibility of Lu Pi. The food and grass needed by the Pi army only hope that they can support Zhuoye Mountain together.
The situation at this time is regarded as the main thing against the guests. Lu Pi was satisfied, so he changed his attitude and made an agreement with the general here to send troops together.
The general was distressed. Although there was a lot of food and grass here, it was not prepared for Lu Pi's team. Now that so many people have come, the food and grass will be exhausted in a short time.
Until early in the morning, when Gaocheren had just sorted out the grief in his heart, the wolves in the distance were screaming one after another, and a team of Gaocheren was coming.
When these Gaoche old and young heard the call of the same clan, both men and women, immediately responded in unison. For a while, the sound of wolf howling came one after another, and the people of Wei were extremely surprised, and Lu Pi was even more full of expectations.
Is she here
If she received news and brought someone to rescue, wouldn't it be possible for them to fight side by side
If the two build a relationship on the battlefield, then...
Lu Pi was so excited, Princess Lelang couldn't help but smile when she saw him and asked, "You are so happy, and your neck is empty. It seems that you got what you wanted?"
Yang Zhe never hides anything from the princess. Princess Lelang naturally knows that Lupi got the medicine. Hearing her mother's jokes, Lupi couldn't help but froze. , that was actually cheap for that nameless general!"
"what?"
"It's that Hua Mulan. My son was fighting with him, but the jade fell and broke, and all the medicine was sprinkled on his face!"
Lu Pi couldn't help but burn with anger when he thought that he was thrown down by Hua Mulan.
"He lied to me that he didn't see her, but he must have hidden her!"
Princess Lelang sighed, and after pressing on this topic, she didn't dare to say it again.
Any young person who encounters feelings will probably be surprisingly stupid. Her son should have this fate, no matter how careful she is, she may not be able to escape.
The Gaoche people were overjoyed to welcome their clansmen, and the generals guarding the camp felt relieved when they saw such strong reinforcements.
If only the cavalry in the battalion could not completely suppress Lu Pi's people, and if he had to worry about any changes he made on the road, the number of Gaoche men and Wei cavalrymen who came now has exceeded Lu Pi's people. In this way, the three parties are mutually restrained, but a delicate balance has been achieved.
After all, Lu Pi is a Rouran person. It is impossible to win the trust of Gaoche people. Instead, these new troops from Gaoche can be their help.
Lu Pi was about to return to the camp to rectify his own troops. When he saw the warriors with high chariots, he stayed and watched for a while. He found that none of the generals in the opponent's team was a woman disguised as a man's sweetheart, and he was disappointed and happy.
The joy is that the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and it is always a good thing that she does not go to the battlefield; the disappointment is that he originally thought of being a hero to save the beauty, or to show his ability on the battlefield, but now his hopes are gone.
The Diffuchi camp was still a mess that had been harassed before. The Gaoche people were shocked when they came, and when they saw that there was an unidentified team stationed on the opposite side of the Diffuchi camp, they ran quickly.
It was not until the sun was up that the three teams completely figured out the situation and sent troops to Zhuoye Mountain to rescue Tuoba Tao.
After the army left, the logistics officer in Difuchi couldn't help crying.
So many people have come, and now the landlord's family has no surplus food!
***
On Zhuoye Mountain.
Tuoba Tao, who had been trapped for a day and a night, showed no signs of panic, and was happily roasting a few rabbits with a group of Su Wei.
Maybe it was because the sky didn't want to kill him. Although there were boulders and giant trees on the washed-out road, the water from the mountain also poured down and merged into a small pit. Although the water was not much, so many people drank it. Ten days and a half months is enough.
They all carried bags of grain, they had food and drink, and even if there were surprise soldiers in ambush in the west, after two days, it would definitely be them who were in danger.
There are so many troops under Zhuoye Mountain, plus the soldiers and horses asking for help, it is enough to occupy the entire mountain, some ambushes are just, they can't fly with their wings, right
Tuoba Tao's personality is that kind of open-minded and open-minded. In his heart, he expected that Rouran would not dare to attack him with open swords and spears. Instead, he wanted to make the other party annoyed more and more. , but he lived as if he were hunting as a layman.
Sometimes when Tuoba Tao was on the rise, he would sing a few folk songs of Xianbei. The laughter and singing in the mountains spread, and the wrestlers who were still cleaning the roads outside felt relieved.
In such a situation, Wu Ti, who was hiding in the mountain road to the west, almost clenched his teeth.
"Laugh, I see how you can laugh!"
Wu Ti sneered.
"When Lu Pi comes, it's your turn to cry!"
