Chapter 1407

Budugen looked up at Suli, who had been captured back.

When the embarrassed Suli was pressed to kneel in front of him, the essence that burst out from Budugen's eyes, which were like those of a falcon, fell on Suli.

"Suli, I, Budugen, as the Great Chanyu of the Xianbei, ask you one more time: are you willing to submit?"

"Or choose to turn into ashes like your tribe." Budugen looked at Suli.

Suli, whose face was covered with bloodstains and was embarrassed, lowered his once noble head.

After the Xianbei Great Chanyu Tanshihuai died, the once powerful Xianbei split.

After Tanshihuai died, He Lian succeeded him; He Lian had neither talent nor strength, was greedy and lustful, and was unfair in his judgment of laws.

The vast majority of tribes that had once been led by Tanshihuai's great talent and strategy fell apart.

Later, He Lian was accidentally shot to death by a cold arrow while raiding the Northern Commandery.

Suli, Mijia, Queji, and other tribes also left one after another.

Budugen originally wanted to follow his elder brother and complete the Xianbei's prosperity during the Tanshihuai Great Chanyu period.

However.

Four years ago.

A big fire swallowed his elder brother and Tanhanshan.

His elder brother, whose eyebrows were pierced by an arrow, and the herdsmen who were swallowed by the big fire and let out screams and wails, pushed Budugen into the abyss of revenge.

Across the Shuoqiu River, while remembering that face, Budugen swore that he would take revenge.

He wanted to lead the Xianbei to narrate the past glory again.

So, in these four years, Budugen, from that youth, had been conquering east and west for four years.

Today, it was the Suli tribe, and it was also the last tribe to be trampled by Budugen's horse hooves.

Either submit or die.

"I..."

"I am willing to submit to the Chanyu."

Suli lowered his once noble head to Budugen, who was half his age, and chose to submit.

There was no joy on Budugen's face; instead, he stood up and placed the long sword he had just wiped on Suli's shoulder.

"I accept your submission." Budugen's firm eyes looked down at Suli, who was lowering his head. "And I do not fear your possible betrayal in the future."

Suli, with the cold blade against his neck, could not stop trembling in fear.

"But the next betrayal, I will not give you, or anyone in your tribe, the possibility of survival. You, and they, will become the dye that I use to dye the clouds of the grassland red, witnessing the unification of the Xianbei under the heavenly spirit of Tanshihuai Great Chanyu."

Suli, trembling all over, knelt on the ground and held Budugen's leather boots with both hands.

"You will be the greatest hero on the grassland after Tanshihuai Great Chanyu. I, Suli, and the tribe under my command are willing to be loyal to you forever, follow your footsteps, and wherever your blade points, that is the direction the Suli tribe will advance."

Listening to Suli's declaration of loyalty, Budugen put away the sharp blade on Suli's shoulder with satisfaction.

A few days later, the army led by Budugen returned to the bank of the Shuoqiu River in Tanhanshan.

Although the big fire four years ago had already been extinguished.

But Tanhanshan, which had been burned by flames for a month, was no longer what it used to be.

Standing on the hillside, the trees that had their crowns and branches burned away, leaving only the main trunks that looked like dead trees, had no vitality at all.

There seemed to be a touch of red in the Shuoqiu River that could never be wiped away.

Looking at the Shuoqiu River, Budugen still clearly remembered the scene where his elder brother fell from his warhorse and the blood flowing from his eyebrows dyed the Shuoqiu River red.

Just when Budugen ordered to start crossing the river, a youth in the distance rode a fast horse and came toward Budugen's direction.

"Great Chanyu."

Xiegui Ni came to Budugen's side and said: "Great Chanyu, a few days ago, a group of Han people came to Tanhanshan, saying they wanted to see the Great Chanyu."

Han people?

When he heard the words "Han people," Budugen immediately frowned, and the shadow of a person immediately appeared in his mind.

"Han people?" Budugen asked with a frown: "Where did they come from, and what are they doing here?"

Ever since four years ago, that person named Duan Yu burned Tanhanshan with a big fire, Budugen swore that he must take revenge and wash away the shame.

But to take revenge, one must have strength.

So, for these four years, Budugen had been fighting almost every moment.

He had almost re-condensed the once-fragmented Xianbei together.

But precisely because of this, Budugen had not attacked the Great Han border in these four years.

So he did not understand where these sudden Han people came from and what they wanted to do.

"Great Chanyu, those Han people said they came with friendship and wanted to form an alliance with the Great Chanyu." Xiegui Ni looked at Budugen and said.

Friendship?

Alliance?

Budugen frowned in confusion, then urged his warhorse to head toward Tanhanshan.

Inside Budugen's camp tent.

A Han person, whose clothing was significantly different from the surrounding furnishings and the Xianbei people, was sitting in the lower left position of Budugen.

In the camp tent, besides the Han scholar and Budugen.

There were also more than a dozen Xianbei generals and tribal leaders.

Without exception, they all looked at the Han scholar with eyes that seemed to want to eat people.

Four years ago, Duan Yu lit Tanhanshan with a big fire, burning to death an unknown number of Xianbei people.

And among them, the most were from the tribes under Budugen's command today.

Among those sitting in the camp tent today, eight or nine out of ten had relatives and tribesmen burned to death in that big fire four years ago.

For the hatred of the Han people, this big fire had been suppressed in their hearts for four full years.

Now, Budugen had completed the unification of the last tribe of the Xianbei.

It was also time to complete the oath from four years ago.

Take revenge on the Han people.

But at this time, a group of Han people came.

"Now, you can tell me your name and your purpose." Budugen asked the Han scholar sitting below. ===== CHAPTER 1409 =====
