Han officials

Chapter 43 Born from the same roots

The coalition forces were stationed at the foot of the city.

The burly old man with wide eyes asked in surprise, "Why are the Han people here?"

This person was Azimu, the leader of the Fuzu Department. He came from the northernmost part and had not heard any news at all.

Since Wei Zhe led his army north, the news naturally could not be blocked.

After all, to the north of Qianmo City is Xietoumei City, and beyond the Xietoumei tribe is Bunai City.

So when Wei Zhe bypassed Xietoumei City and headed straight for Bunai City, the news quickly reached here.

After hearing all the news from his tribe, Naiman, the leader of the Xie Toumei tribe, suddenly realized, "I was wondering why there was no response from the Qianmo tribe when I contacted them earlier. It turns out they've been taken over by the Han people."

In fact, before attacking the Bunai tribe, Naiman also sent people to contact the Qianmo tribe.

However, Qianmo City had already been controlled by the Han army at that time, so the Naiman naturally could not get any news.

Hearing Naiman say this, the leader of the Huali tribe, Seligao, immediately frowned.

A moment later, he suddenly exclaimed, "No, we've been fooled!"

Without waiting for anyone else to ask, Seligao roared angrily, "This is all a trick of the Han people. They must have been responsible for the weapons as well."

Upon hearing this, Azimu, the head of the Fuzu Department, was suddenly surprised and confused.

"You mean... this is a curse cast by Han Chinese ghosts and gods?"

It’s no wonder that Azimu is so ignorant. It’s really impossible for the Huibei people to understand this situation with their smelting level.

Good weapons suddenly became fragile and brittle, and the degree of breakage varied, as if a person had been poisoned.

In their opinion, this situation can only be explained by a curse.

After all, only ghosts and gods can make sharp swords decay.

The Grand Master of the Gorgeous Department, Seligao, naturally had no idea what was going on, but he still said firmly, "No matter what the reason is, it must be the Han people's fault!"

Upon hearing this, Naiman immediately disagreed.

"Perhaps this is a curse from the Sunai tribe and the Han people colluding with each other?"

You must know that after this period of siege, many people from the Xie Toumei tribe died under the city of Bunai.

Even though what Seligao said made some sense, Naiman still held hostility towards Bunai City.

But no matter what, several people believed that the Han people must have been involved.

Thinking of this, the three people in the big tent suddenly became worried.

After a moment, Azimu said helplessly, "Let's negotiate peace. I'll go talk to Zamusu."

After all, during the siege these days, it was the Fuzu Department that was the most perfunctory.

It’s not that Azimu has any friendship with the Bunai leader Zamusu, but there is no need.

In fact, the reason why Azimu brought his Fuzu tribe to join in the fun this time was nothing more than to take advantage of the situation.

Because even if the Bunai tribe was destroyed, the territory would only be divided up by the Huali tribe and Xietoumai tribe on the left and right.

As for the Fuzu tribe in the far north, even if it temporarily occupies part of the territory, it will have to give it up after a long time.

It is precisely because of this that the fight between the Gorgeous Department and the Evil Heads has been so fierce during this period.

Therefore, after listening to Azimu's words, Seligao and Naiman could only nod their heads even though they were somewhat unwilling.

After all, the Han army is almost here, and continuing to fight will only allow the Han to take advantage.

This principle was also understood by Zamusu, the leader of the Bu'nai tribe.

But even though he understood it, Zamusu's anger did not diminish in the slightest.

There's no way around it. Anyone who gets beaten up for no reason will feel the same way.

So, in response to Azimu's peace talks, Zamusu proposed a series of conditions, such as an apology from the three tribes and compensation of large quantities of cattle, sheep, and women. He even proposed to become the leader of the coalition and make the three tribes obey his command. Faced with such demands, Seligao and Naiman would naturally not agree, and even Azimu was unlikely to agree.

He came here to take advantage of the situation, not to give gifts.

After going back and forth for a few days, it took a while.

Finally, after learning that the Han people had conquered the three southern tribes, this group of people had no choice but to grit their teeth and compromise.

Of course, it was impossible for him to be the leader of the alliance, but the three tribes of pigs, horses, cattle and sheep still paid some compensation.

Among them, the most blood was lost from the Gorgeous Department and the Evil Department, because they were the closest.

As a result, Seligao and Naiman felt very aggrieved.

After all, they were the two groups that had suffered the most casualties since the siege began. Now they hadn't gained any advantage at all, but had lost a huge amount of money and goods. It would be strange if they felt comfortable.

Therefore, although the four northern tribes temporarily formed an alliance and united against external enemies before Wei Zhe's army arrived, there were still constant frictions and contradictions within them.

……

On the morning of October 6th, Bu Nai arrived at the city gate.

When they saw the cavalry covering the mountains across the way, even Xi Zhicai, Yuan Jun and the others, who had anticipated this, couldn't help but frown. Even Taishi Ci couldn't help but frown and said, "There must be 20,000 of them, right?"

Even though we know that the Xianbei cavalry is not strong, as ants can kill elephants, if their numbers increase, a qualitative change will occur.

However, after observing carefully for a moment, Wei Zhe suddenly asked Yuan Jun, "What tribe is the central army?"

"My Lord, the flag flying in the center of the army is that of the Fuzu tribe." Yuan Jun had roamed the lands of the Xianbei for so long that he naturally knew the seven tribes intimately. He pointed across and continued, "To the right of the Fuzu tribe are the Bunai tribe, and to the left are the Huali and Xietoumei tribes."

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhe remained silent.

There seems to be nothing wrong with this arrangement. It is reasonable for the Bunai troops' position to be adjacent to Bunai City.

However, Wei Zhe glanced at it for a moment and suddenly gave an order:
"Uliger."

"exist!"

"With your five thousand men, we will attack the Bunai tribe!"

"Here!"

After saying this, Uliger left with 4,000 cavalrymen from the Dongqian tribe and 1,000 cavalrymen from the Qianmo tribe.

Although Qi Fuxiang's old face looked as if he had eaten bitter herbs, he didn't dare to say anything more.

After all, everyone can see that Wei Zhe is very fond of the barbarian Uliger.

Wei Zhe then said, "Ziyi, you lead 3,000 Han cavalry to support the battle."

Upon hearing this, Taishi Ci immediately bowed in agreement and turned to leave.

No one knew what Wei Zhe was thinking, but Uliger was too lazy to figure it out.

Ever since Wei Zhe promoted him to be the leader of the Dongqian tribe, Uliger believed that everything Wei Zhe said was right.

Riding his horse to the front of the battle formation, Uliger couldn't help grinning at the gloomy sky.

"Nice weather, perfect for killing people!"

After saying this, he roared wildly and said excitedly: "My men, follow me and kill!"

Before he finished speaking, Uliger waved the spear given by Wei Zhe and rode his horse towards the Bunai tribe on the right.

Suddenly, countless cavalrymen were seen howling like ghosts and wolves, following Uliger like a torrent.

Regardless of the tribe, the soldiers on the battlefield definitely like generals like Uliger the most.

After all, even if he died, he would die first, what else is there to say!
Upon seeing this, Taishi Ci immediately led 3,000 Han cavalry to harass the left side as a test.
