Chapter 298 The Wuhuan King supported by Cao Cao's camp! He was actually Gongsun Zan's?
柳城
Tadun waited in despair for Nengchen to send a large army to attack him.
after all.
Even his sugar daddy, Yuan Shao, gave up on him.
His downfall was a foregone conclusion.
However, Tadun waited for many days but still did not receive news that Nengchen Dizhi was leading his army to attack Liucheng.
Instead, he received a secret letter from Yuan Shao!
"I see!"
"As expected of General Yuan, his strategies are indeed beyond the comprehension of someone like me."
Tadun put down the letter and instantly became Yuan Shao's number one fanboy.
Guo Tu infiltrated Ju Shou's camp, naturally after informing Yuan Shao.
Otherwise, what if Yuan Shao really thought he had betrayed him and "angrily executed Guo Tu"? Wouldn't that mean he would die before even starting his campaign?
At this moment, Tadun received a secret letter instructing him to lead his three thousand most elite soldiers to White Wolf Mountain!
The secret letter informed Tadun that Nengchen Dizhi would be going to Bailang Mountain in a few days to hold a formal ceremony for the succession of the Wuhuan king.
Although Tadun did not know how Yuan Shao had persuaded his capable minister to abandon the attack on Liucheng.
But he knew that this was the only chance he could seize to kill Neng Chendi!
At this moment, Tadun had fewer than 10,000 soldiers under his command.
But most of the soldiers were his loyal followers.
In other words, those opportunists who would have chosen to betray Tadun and support Nengchen Dizhi have long since fled.
These thousands of Wuhuan soldiers adopted a "carry it through to the end" attitude towards Tadun's orders!
……
Sparse snowflakes fell from the sky.
Near Bailang Mountain
Nengchen Dizhi, dressed in the attire of the Wuhuan king, entered the sacrificial site with a beaming smile.
Why did Nengchen suddenly abandon his attack on Tadun and instead make the succession ceremony his top priority?
It was precisely because of the actions taken by Guo Tu and Guo Jia!
In the letter, Guo Tu, speaking in the tone of Ju Shou, promised to grant the capable minister Di Zhi the official title of "General of Chariots and Cavalry of the Great Han"!
Despite the constant civil wars at the end of the Han Dynasty.
However, in wars against foreign tribes, the Han dynasty almost always won decisively, while the foreign tribes suffered complete defeats.
This is completely different from the disgraceful Western Jin Dynasty.
The Southern Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuhuan, these so-called three major northern tribes, all suffered a severe beating from the Han Dynasty!
A recent example is Gongsun Zan, the White Horse General!
It can be said that the previous Wuhuan king, Qiuliju, was literally driven to his death by Gongsun Zan's repeated victories.
Receiving an official position from the Han Dynasty was considered a great honor by foreign tribes such as the Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Southern Xiongnu.
not to mention.
Nengchen was also a fervent enthusiast of Han culture.
He certainly understood how important the position of General of Chariots and Cavalry was.
In any case, Yuan Shao and Ju Shou had already "acknowledged" his identity as the King of Wuhuan.
Tadun was also a defeated army, retreating to his last stronghold, Liucheng.
Instead of spending time eliminating Taton.
It would be better to hurry up and hold a formal ceremony and accept the official title of General of Chariots and Cavalry!
The main reason is that he was also quite uneasy, after all, he was not Qiuliju's proper successor.
To avoid any unforeseen complications, it is of utmost importance to quickly gain the acceptance of the Wuhuan people as the new Wuhuan king.
And so, Nengchen arrived at the sacrificial site on White Wolf Mountain.
And just as he was halfway through the ceremony.
Outside the valley, shouts of battle shook the heavens!
Tadun led his most elite warriors and charged into the sacrificial site!
Before Nengchen could react, he died under Tadun's broadsword.
At that moment, Taton felt incredibly cool!
He, Tadun, truly deserves to be called the chosen one of the Wuhuan!
however.
When Tadun left White Wolf Mountain, intending to go to the Wuhuan royal court to announce the death of his capable minister Dizhi.
An even more explosive piece of news has arrived!
Suddenly, another son of Qiuliju appeared out of nowhere!
He claimed that, like Taton, he was also an adopted son of Qiuliju.
In an instant, Ta Dun's sky collapsed.
Just like his name, Tadun, meaning both collapsed and paused.
……
Ye City
Ju Shou was completely dumbfounded.
He couldn't understand why Nengchen Dizhi, this useless scoundrel, didn't seize the time to destroy Tadun, but instead went to Bailang Mountain to hold some kind of sacrificial ceremony!
What the hell is this if not a complete idiot?
Now look what's happened! He was ambushed and killed by Tadun, and it seems Tadun is about to become the new king of Wuhuan!
But Ju Shou was at a loss.
We've given Nengchen so much support; are we just going to let it all go to waste?
suddenly.
Guo Tu jogged into Ju Shou's residence and reported to Ju Shou:
"Brother Gongyu, this is new information our spies have obtained from the Wuhuan!"
"What!?"
"Qiuliju also has an adopted son named Marimalihong?"
"After the death of Nengchen Dizhi, Marima Li Hong openly stood up and competed with Tadun for the position of King of Wuhuan?"
A look of surprise instantly flashed in Ju Shou's eyes!
This is really great!
Regardless of whether this guy is Qiu Lijuzhen's adopted son or not.
At least this guy has stepped forward now, cleverly avoiding the situation where Tadun would become the only one to dominate after Nengchen Dizhi's death.
In an instant, Ju Shou had the idea of supporting Ma Li Ma Li Hong.
in fact.
Ju Shou didn't care at all who the person he was supporting was.
As long as they are willing to listen to him and oppose Yuan Shao and Tadun, that's fine.
of course.
Due to the Wuhuan people's nature of admiring strength.
After Tadun killed Nengchendi, his strength must have become much greater than before.
But as long as Tadun has not unified the Wuhuan tribes, Ju Shou still has hope!
"Have Zheng Nan come to see me."
Ju Shou gave instructions to his personal guards.
The guards received the order and left.
Ju Shou took the initiative to approach Shen Pei, naturally wanting Shen Pei to send more supplies to the Wuhuan.
Hopefully, this Mali Mali Hong can quickly resolve the issue of Tadun and integrate the various Wuhuan tribes.
……
Xuchang
Upon receiving the message from Guo Jia's intelligence agents planted in Ye City by Cao Cao's camp, Su Yu laughed so hard he pounded the ground with one hand and clutched his stomach with the other.
The plan worked!
Tadun killed Nengchen Dizhi and thought he was about to win.
Unexpectedly, someone else dared to step forward and compete with him for the position of King of Wuhuan.
And the one who jumped out, Mali Mali Hong, was the man sent out by Cao Cao's camp!
His true identity will surprise all the Wuhuan people!
After the Battle of Yijing, Gongsun Zan's two sons, Gongsun Fan and Gongsun Xu, fled Yijing City, but were later captured by Yuan Xi and had nowhere to go.
In their time of crisis, Cao Cao's intelligence scouts from Youzhou found them and sheltered the two unfortunate brothers.
The diplomatic relations between Cao Cao's forces and Gongsun Zan's forces were actually quite good.
In the past, Man Chong had also been sent as an envoy to Youzhou to exchange supplies for warhorses with Gongsun Zan.
The warhorses provided by Gongsun Zan were of paramount importance in the formation of Cao Cao's several cavalry units.
Unfortunately, Gongsun Zan died.
However, Cao Cao and Su Yu still hoped to save Gongsun Zan's two sons.
Besides being the sons of Gongsun Zan, they were also able to be firmly planted in Youzhou like a nail!
of course.
The identity they temporarily adopted could not be that of Gongsun Zan's son, otherwise they would immediately be besieged by Yuan Shao and Ju Shou.
Following Zhang Zhongjing's prescription, Su Yu sent men to disguise Gongsun Fan and Gongsun Xu, making them look like Wuhuan people.
Having dealt with the Wuhuan people year after year, the two naturally knew their various customs.
After changing his appearance and attire, he perfectly assumed the new identity of a Wuhuan person.
Gongsun Fan acted as Mali Mali Hong, while Gongsun Xu assisted him from the side.
If Ju Shou knew, he would soon provide a large amount of supplies to support Mali Mali Hong.
They turned out to be Gongsun Zan's two sons. I wonder if they'll die on the spot!
