Chapter 110: Grassland Turmoil
「You all roughly understand the situation, Tiemuzhen has unified the Xiongnu。」
「Next, given his wolf-like nature, he probably won't be content with the status quo。」
He took a deep breath and slowly spoke.
「Being tribes of the grassland, regarding the Xiongnu's Tiemuzhen who has recently risen... 」
They naturally paid attention, and clearly understood Tiemuzhen's wolfish ambition.
He is simply a wolf that can't be fed!
The tent instantly fell into silence.
Everyone could feel the tension and pressure in the air.
「The Jurchen have always been a free people, each and every one a warrior of the grasslands。」
「We fear no challenge, and we will absolutely not allow anyone to trample our dignity! 」
Wanyan Wugumai was the first to break the silence; his voice was firm and powerful.
「We don't necessarily have to fight Tiemuzhen head-on。」
「I believe that facing this wolf Tiemuzhen, it's not just us Jurchen who can't sleep peacefully! 」
Wanyan Lou Shi also stood up; his eyes flashed with the light of wisdom.
「We are all willing to fight to the death for the future of the Jurchen! Even if it means sacrificing our lives, we will spare no effort! 」
「Khan, no need to worry excessively; if Tiemuzhen dares to come, let them taste the ferocity of Jurchen warriors! 」
Wanyan Yindanzi gripped his weapon tightly; his voice was full of fighting spirit.
Wanyan Gao, Wanyan Liang, Wanyan Shemu, and others also expressed their views, stating their opinions.
Wanyan Aguda looked at them, his heart filled with gratitude and pride; these are the essence of the Jurchen.
Next, Wanyan Aguda and the others analyzed the strength and tactics of the Xiongnu where Tiemuzhen resides, which should now be called the Mongol tribe, and formulated a detailed strategic plan.
They knew that this wolf Tiemuzhen is undoubtedly a formidable opponent.
But they also believed that as long as the Jurchen unite and fight bravely, they will surely defeat him.
During the discussion, Wanyan Aguda, the founding emperor of Jin, not only displayed his own wisdom and courage, but also placed greater emphasis on listening to others' opinions and suggestions.
He has always been clear that an individual's power is limited; only through pooling wisdom and making joint decisions can a more complete plan be formulated.
Wanyan Wugumai proposed using terrain advantages to ambush the enemy; Wanyan Lou Shi advocated guerrilla tactics to continually wear down the enemy's strength; Wanyan Yinshuke believed that the Jurchen should strengthen internal unity and training to boost overall combat power.
These suggestions were all carefully considered and adopted by Wanyan Aguda.
And while the Jurchen were in a fluster because of Tiemuzhen.
At the same time, in other parts of the grassland, the leaders of other tribes were also doing the same thing.
They either gathered warriors to prepare for battle, sent envoys to seek alliances, or waited passively for the right moment.
The entire grassland seemed to have become a huge chessboard, with each tribe striving for its own future.
At this moment, the atmosphere on the grassland became unusually tense.
The air was filled with a solemn, killing aura, as if everyone was preparing for the impending battle.
Wind blew from all directions, carrying dust and the scent of war, as if foretelling the impending bloodshed and slaughter.
The Xiongnu tribe is not particularly conspicuous on the northern great grassland because the Xiongnu tribes have long been divided.
Each tribe governed itself, causing various Xiongnu talents to flee the tribe.
But now, Tiemuzhen has crushed all these Xiongnu tribes and twisted them into a single rope.
Thus the newly unified Xiongnu, or rather the Mongols.
In a short time, they have leapt to become a notable tribe on the great grassland.
Moreover, for a long time, the various tribes of the grassland have been on high alert against that rising wolf in the northern Xiongnu.
Now that Tiemuzhen has unified the entire Xiongnu, then with this wolf's appetite.
Next, the remaining weaker tribes on the grassland will have to live in anxiety.
Therefore, when the news that Tiemuzhen of the northern Xiongnu had unified the entire Xiongnu swept across the grassland like a raging wind, this news was like a heavyweight bomb, stirring up tremendous waves in the hearts of every tribesperson.
The sky seemed to grow even darker because of this news, with thick clouds covering it, as if foreshadowing the coming storm.
Wind blew from all directions, carrying dust and the scent of the grassland, as if speaking of the impending change.
In the gathering places of the tribes, people sat around the campfire, discussing animatedly.
Their faces were written with surprise, fear, and anxiety, but more so with anticipation and curiosity.
They knew that Tiemuzhen's unification meant a fundamental shift in the balance of power on the grassland, and future life would be full of uncertainty.
「Have you heard? Tiemuzhen has already unified the entire Xiongnu! 」
A young man excitedly waved his cup in hand and loudly announced the news.
「Of course we've heard; for such a big matter, who could still be unaware? 」
An old man stroked his long beard and said in a low voice, 「This is indeed a major event on the grassland in recent years! 」
「Yes, yes! The name Tiemuzhen will probably become a topic of conversation on the grassland from now on. 」
Another person echoed.
The people's discussion rose and fell, as if the entire grassland were trembling.
They talked about Tiemuzhen's bravery and wisdom, speculating about his next moves.
Some worried he would launch attacks on other tribes, while others hoped he could lead the grassland toward a more prosperous future.
At this moment, each tribe's leader was urgently summoning their people to discuss countermeasures.
They knew they must make a decision quickly to respond to the impending changes.
However, within this tense atmosphere also lay a sense of expectation and hope.
As time passed, the changing winds and clouds on the grassland became increasingly intense.
Every tribe was tense, preparing its own action plan, and the whole grassland seemed to have turned into a boiling battlefield.
At this moment, Su Ye, far away in Cangzhou, also received news that Temujin had already begun to rise on the northern great grassland.
"Hiss, faster than expected!"
"Can only say, he lives up to Genghis Khan?"
Looking at the information presented by Luowang about the various major tribes on the grassland, and the news that Temujin had already unified the Xiongnu tribes and renamed them the Mongols.
Su Ye rubbed his head in frustration.
Although, relying on Genghis Khan Temujin's abilities and his luxurious entourage.
Temujin's unification of the entire Xiongnu tribe was something Su Ye had anticipated.
But this is too early; those Southern Xiongnu good-for-nothings.
They can't even hold out for a few days.
They were just swept away so easily?
Even the surrounding Xiongnu grassland tribes didn't have time to react.
Not to mention this far side of Cangzhou.
Can't even lend a hand to help the Southern Xiongnu!
