my wife is mulan

There are tens of thousands of Rouran people living here. Just a few days ago, Rouran Khan Datan led his guards to patrol here to declare his authority.

Inside the dome, amidst the sound of singing and dancing, Da Tan was sitting behind the desk holding a leg of lamb and shaving the meat with a knife, his beard was covered with oil stains.

"Report—" a Rouran spy ran in panting and bowed on one knee: "Qi Khan, something is wrong, and the Xianbei people are here!"

"The Xianbei people came here?" Da Tan was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Hahaha, the Xianbei people are really courageous."

It's getting bigger and bigger, they even hit me in Mobei, tell me, how many people did they come? "

"Between [-] and [-]!"

With a bang, the leg of lamb and the butcher's knife fell on the table with a loud bang.

Da Tan paled and said: "What? You said there are 4 to [-] people?"

"Yes!"

Da Tan panicked, he only brought three thousand cavalry with him this time, while the Wei army had thirty to forty thousand cavalry, more than ten times his strength, how to fight?

"Where is Wei Jun now?"

"Two hundred miles south of here, many tribes north of the desert have been bloodbathed by the Wei army. More tribes have fled in all directions. Cattle, sheep and horses are scattered in the wild and no one cares about them!"

When Da Tan heard that the Wei army was only two hundred miles away, he came back to his senses in a panic, and immediately ordered: "Quickly, go and summon the national teacher Fa Zan, Qi Li Fa Ta Wu Hu Lu, Tu Dou Fa Wu Ti, Qi Li Qi Lie Gui and all the accompanying commanders and generals come to discuss the matter!"

Needless to say, the national teacher of Rouran, Da Tan Khan believes in Buddhism now, so Buddhism is the state religion, but there are also many people in Rouran who still believe in Shamanism.

Among Rouran's official positions is the Prime Minister, which is equivalent to the prime minister of the Central Plains Dynasty. This time, the Prime Minister did not follow, but stayed in the Khan Royal Court to handle government affairs.

Once Lifa, one of Rouran's official positions is in charge of one side's military power, which is equivalent to one side's princes, and the commander is under him.Tilifa Tawuhulu is the elder brother of Datan Khan, and Princess Tuzhen is his daughter.

Tudoufa, one of the official positions in Rouran, second only to Lifa, is generally held by the royal family of Rouran, and is the most capable candidate for Khan's successor.Tu Doufa Wu Ti, this person is the second son of Dadan.

Qili: One of the official positions in Rouran, in charge of one party's government affairs, equivalent to the governor.Qiliegui, Qili from the southern area of ​​Rouran, is also the eldest son of Dayan.

After a while, Ta Wu Hu Lu, Wu Ti, Qi Lie Gui, Guo Shi Fa Zan and the accompanying marshals and generals rushed over.

Da Tan said to the crowd with a solemn face: "Everyone, just received the news that Wei Lord Tuoba Tao personally led an army of [-] across the desert and came straight to where we are waiting. It is less than a hundred miles away from here!"

"Ah..." The participants turned pale with shock for a moment.

Qi Liegui immediately shouted: "Father Khan, we only have [-] cavalry, how can we be the opponent of Wei Lord's [-] cavalry? Let's retreat quickly!"

Chapter 363

Upon hearing this, Wu Ti, the second son of Da Tan, immediately stood up and expressed strong opposition, "Father Khan, how can we leave without a fight? Wouldn't this damage your reputation?"

When Da Tan heard this, he felt that the words of the second son were also right. His position was not right, or else his brothers and nephews were mostly the ministers of the Rouran Khanate?It was to consolidate the rule that he appointed his brothers, uncles, nephews, and nephews as high-ranking officials. These people were either important officials of the royal court, or generals who guarded one side of the army.

Da Tan looked at his elder brother Tawuhulu again: "Brother, what do you think of this matter? Is it fighting or leaving?"

Tawuhulu thought for a while and stroked his chest and said: "Khan, with 3000 troops and more than [-] iron cavalry against each other, it is not a big deal to fight head-on. ..."

When other people heard Tawuhulu say such things, they all scolded this old fox for being cunning. Doesn't that mean you didn't say anything?

Dayan couldn't help feeling speechless, he also knew that his brother's nature didn't like to offend others, Wu Ti and Qi Liegui would always inherit his Khan position one day, and it would be bad to offend either party.

He noticed the niece sitting next to his brother—Princess Tuzhen, who was given the title by him. This niece is resourceful and has fought against Wei Guo many times. She always wins more than loses, so he asked with a smile: "Tuzhen Really, you have always had ideas and are good at using soldiers, uncle wants to hear your thoughts!"

Princess Tuzhen pondered for a while, got up and came out to touch her chest and said: "Khan, my niece has fought against the army of Wei State several times in the past few years, and their combat power is not inferior to mine. My father is indeed vague In my niece's opinion, it's not that the chances of winning are not great, but that there is no chance of winning! In fact, Wu Ti and Qi Liegui's two brothers are right! From my niece's point of view, it is impossible for us to win. If you want to fight, how do you fight? It's not head-to-head, but to lure the enemy into deep!"

Da Tan's curiosity was aroused by Princess Tuzhen: "How do you lure the enemy to go deep, please explain carefully!"

Princess Tuzhen immediately said: "With our current strength, we will definitely be invincible against Tuoba Tao directly. We need time to gather our strength, so we must choose to retreat temporarily.

They came across the desert, and they certainly didn't bring much food and grass, so we threw them some cattle, sheep, and property along the way, so as to delay their pursuit and buy time for us to gather our troops! "

"More importantly, this will allow them to relax their vigilance, and wait until we have concentrated our forces, then..."

After Da Tan heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and his mood was overwhelmed. This niece did not disappoint him, but he still couldn't make a decision. He had to ask Guo Shi Fa Zan to predict the outcome of this battle.

"National teacher, Ben Khan would like to ask the national teacher to communicate with the Buddha and ask about the good and bad luck of this battle. I wonder if the national teacher can do it?"

"Amitabha! The poor monk Tian is the national teacher of the Rouran Khanate, so he should relieve the Khan's worries!" Fa Zan agreed.

Da Tan immediately ordered: "Come here, prepare the corresponding magic weapon for the national teacher, and build the altar!"

Wu Ti was a little upset, but he stood up and agreed: "Follow the will of Father Khan!"

Under Wu Ti's command and order, a Dharma altar was quickly built. There were many ropes around the Dharma altar. The ropes were hung with white, yellow, red, green and blue colorful wind streamers, and densely packed scriptures were written on the wind streamers. , this unique scenery that can only be seen in Tibetan areas - the Fengma flag appears here at this time.

Master Fa Zan, holding a Zen staff in his left hand and a Buddhist bead in his right, climbed onto the altar. A row of more than a dozen monks came and stood around the altar, and then sat cross-legged on the ground facing the altar.

There was a sound of knocking on the alms bowl, and the monks began to recite the scriptures with their eyes closed.

Fa Zan was sitting cross-legged on the altar at this time, with his eyes closed, his Zen staff placed by his side, his left hand palmed upright in front of his chest, his right hand beating the wooden fish rhythmically, and he was chanting quickly and forcefully. scriptures.

There was still a lot of wind just now, the wind and horse flags were blowing loudly, and the sky was a little gloomy, but suddenly the wind stopped, the cloudy sky quickly became clear, and a round sun hung in the sky , the sun shines all over the earth, shining warmly on people's faces.

Include

Including Da Tan, everyone showed awe on their faces, and they clasped their hands together in reverence.

After a long time, the sound of the wooden fish stopped, and the sound of chanting sutras was also heard. Fa Zan opened his eyes, and a golden light appeared on his face.

Da Tan immediately stepped forward and asked, "National teacher, how is it?"

Fa Zan said slowly, "If you fight, you will lose! The east, south, and north are all evil places, and only the west is an auspicious place!"

Da Tan's face changed greatly upon hearing this, and he immediately ordered: "Withdraw!"

With just one word, everyone began to prepare for retreat, but all the objects that were not easy to move were discarded in place, and even Khan's vault was set on fire by himself, and a raging fire broke out.

According to Princess Tuzhen's suggestion, some cattle and sheep were left in place, and some cattle and sheep were left after a certain distance, and the killed cattle and sheep were discarded at the water source to pollute the water source.

After retreating for half a day, Wu Ti, the second son of Dayan, said to him: "Father Khan, it will be my mother's birthday in one month. Uncle Pi Lixian, who is stationed in the eastern grassland, must be on his way to the royal court to celebrate his mother's birthday. Should I send someone to inform him to continue to the royal court, or let him retreat?"

The barbarians in the north have a bad habit. After the death of their father and uncle, their sons can marry their father and uncle's wives and concubines. This is considered taboo in the Central Plains dynasty, but it is normal for the barbarians, and this Datan Khan did it. His uncle Hulu was Rouran Khan.

Hulu was taken away by his cousin Buluzhen and Shuli, the minister, and then hijacked by Shuli to Beiyan.

After Hulu's death, his wife and children were afraid of being killed by Bu Luzhen, so they took refuge in Dadan, a nephew, and Dadan took advantage of the opportunity to accept all his uncle's wives and concubines as his own women, and one of them was taken as Kehe Dun. .

In Rouran, Khan’s main family is called Ke He Dun, also known as Ke Dun, which is equivalent to the queen and princess of the Central Plains Dynasty. The titles of Khan, Ke He Dun and Ke Dun were first used by Xianbei people. Rouran, Turks, Khitan, and Mongolia have all used these titles.For the Huns before these nomadic peoples, the leader was called Shan Yu, and the main wife of Shan Yu was called the Que family.

Pi Lixian is the son of Hulu, and Da Tan and himself are cousins. After Da Tan married his mother, the two became more intimate, and then Pi Lixian's mother gave birth to Da Tan's son Wu. Therefore, Wu Ti and Pi Lixian are not only uncles and nephews, but also half-brothers.

In short, the kinship of the northern barbarians was very chaotic.
