Chapter 1469

~4 min read 602 words

This sudden scene made Yu Fuluo and Guo Tu, who was observing everything silently not far away, stunned.

Xubuguduhou drew his long sword, wiped the bloodstains on the animal skin on his upper body, turned his head to look at Yu Fuluo not far away, then knelt on one knee with his sword tip on the ground and his left hand on his chest, saying:

"Xubuguduhou is willing to follow the Great Chanyu. Xubuguduhou has long had enough of the Han people's anger."

"Xubuguduhou's entire tribe obeys the Great Chanyu's command."

Xubuguduhou, with his head lowered, felt cold sweat breaking out on his back at this moment.

Killing his own clansmen was truly a last resort.

From the day Yu Fuluo asked him to enter the tent to ask about Chanyu Qiangqu's order, Xubuguduhou had felt Yu Fuluo's murderous intent.

Among these tribal leaders, his troops were the most numerous, with more than three thousand people.

If Yu Fuluo wanted to kill someone to establish his authority, then without a doubt, he was the most suitable candidate.

Yu Fuluo held a banquet tonight to kill people to establish his authority and clear out dissidents.

If he didn't do this, Yu Fuluo would definitely find an excuse to kill him.

But now it's not possible.

He was the first to stand up and support Yu Fuluo, and he also killed the tribal leader who opposed Yu Fuluo; even if Yu Fuluo wanted to kill him, he couldn't do it immediately.

Because killing him would lose the hearts of the other tribes.

Yu Fuluo took a deep breath and then looked at Guo Tu not far away.

Guo Tu nodded slightly to indicate.

And as Xubuguduhou stood up to support Yu Fuluo, all the remaining tribal leaders also stood up and knelt on the ground.

But this did not mean that the matter was over.

Yu Fuluo slowly swept his gaze over each tribal leader and said: "From now on, you all have to stay here temporarily, convey my orders to your tribes, and obey my command."

"Tomorrow morning, the army will break camp, attack Pingcheng Pass, and after Pingcheng Pass is broken, you can return to your respective tribes."

"Of course, I will also keep my promise. In the future, every time we conquer a city, we will let your tribes plunder to your heart's content. All the wealth you obtain will be your own, and you can distribute it yourself."

"You can take all the wealth you obtain back to your tribes and strengthen your tribes."

Still the same sentence.

The vast majority of Xiongnu leaders did not understand the general trend of the world.

The benefits in front of them were what they cared about most.

Whoever can lead them to obtain wealth, they support whoever.

This is the consistent behavior on the grasslands.

Chanyu Modu back then was like this, and today's Yu Fuluo was no different from Chanyu Modu back then.

Because the one Yu Fuluo killed was his own father, not their father.

Therefore, when Yu Fuluo finished this sentence, some Xiongnu leaders had already begun to cheer.

Pingcheng.

This place also had another name in later generations, called Datong.

Since ancient times, from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods to the Qin and Han dynasties, this place had always been the only way for the grassland aliens to move south.

The State of Zhao once built the Great Wall here to resist the invasion of the Xiongnu.

Later, Ying Zheng, the First Emperor, unified the six states and began to repair the Great Wall again.
