From eunuch to emperor

Yanmen Pass.

General Zhang Man sat in the rebuilt barracks with a headache, and the barbarian Chanyu Tuzhi sat opposite him.

When Li Chengdao attacked Yanmen Pass, he killed the guards and set fire to the Yanmen Pass barracks.

Fortunately, when Yanmenguan was built, more bricks were used than wood, so it was rebuilt quickly.

"This is already the fifth time. If this continues, I can't make the brothers restrain."

Zhang Man tried his best to keep his tone calm.

Tuzhi has already grown a full beard, and the wind and sun in the grassland have made his face old, and he is no longer the young man in the deep mountains.

"I'm also trying my best to persuade them not to occupy the things of the people in the Central Plains."

Tuzhi sighed helplessly.

After receiving Long Chen's letter, Tuzhi called all the tribes to discuss, and then led about 50 herdsmen to the south to enter the customs.

They went south to enter the pass, on the one hand because of Long Chen's letter, and on the other hand because of the coming of winter.

When heavy snow falls in winter, cattle and sheep have no grass to eat, so it is better to migrate south.

In the past, the barbarians liked to invade the border at the end of autumn.

After entering Yanmen Pass, Long Chen made a plan to disperse their people, some went to the original Xixia, and some stayed near Yanmen Pass, try not to get together to avoid conflicts.

But the problem still happened, and more than once.

Those who stayed near Yanmen Pass were all the elite barbarians. This arrangement was to let them follow the Long family army to deal with the ghosts.

But these people are very restless, and often invade the things of the local people, and even rob and beat the people.

It happened again yesterday, three barbarians robbed someone else's wife and beat her husband to death.

The three savages have already been arrested, and according to the usual practice, they will kill for their lives.

But this time, the barbarians started to make trouble, and Zhang Man was not allowed to execute.

The Zhou army and the barbarians confronted each other, and the situation on both sides was very tense.

The common people resented the Great Zhou for letting the barbarians enter the customs, and the barbarians resented Tuzhi's weakness and incompetence.

"The Holy One and King Wu will arrive in two days. If this matter continues, you should know the consequences."

Zhang Man didn't threaten, but Tu Zhi understood the meaning.

Zhang Man was very restrained, but Long Chen was different. If he arrived, he would definitely kill until the barbarians knelt down and begged for mercy.

When Tu Zhi heard Long Chen's name, his scalp also tingled.

Back then Long Chen led the army north out of Yanmen Pass, and killed the Shan Yu Yeluhong, killing the barbarians to the horror, and finally supported him as Shan Yu.

A few years passed, Long Chen became even more terrifying, annihilated Xixia and Nanliang, and became King Wu.

If such a person comes...

Tuzhi felt his hands tremble a little.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it, don't worry."

Tuzhi got up and left the barracks. When he went outside, two guards were waiting.

The Da Zhou soldiers who were guarding the door looked unhappy, as did the two guards.

Tu Zhi secretly sighed in his heart, and quickly left the yard.

"Chan Yu, what did Zhang Man say?"

A burly and beardless guard asked.

This bodyguard is Tuzhi's confidant, and he is in command of the Guards, named Ugwu.

Tuzhi didn't say anything, and rode out.

After leaving Yanmen Pass, there were more than 50 elite barbarian soldiers waiting on the road. When they saw Tuzhi, they immediately followed.

Wu Gu asked again: "Shan Yu, what will happen to the three brothers? They are still in Zhang Man's hands."

After the accident, Zhang Man sent someone to arrest the three barbarians and keep them in prison.

Tuzhi went to Yanmen Pass this time because of the pressure of the tribe, and wanted to take him back and bring him back to the barbarians to deal with.

Of course, Zhang Man couldn't let him go, otherwise he would be led by the nose by the barbarians, how to explain to the generals and people of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Tuzhi said coldly: "They kill people and rob women, what do you ask me to do with it!"

Wugu understood what Tuzhi meant, and said displeasedly: "We can just compensate the cattle and sheep, why kill our brother again!"

The other guards were furious and clamored to rob people.

Tu Zhi stopped, sighed slightly, and asked, "Have you met King Wu?"

Ugwu and the guards stopped. Many people here have seen it.

Back then Long Chen led the cavalry into the grassland and fought against Yeluhong. Some of them had personally experienced it at that time, and some were still young, so they all remembered what happened to Long Chen.

"He's coming soon."

Seeing that everyone was silent, Tuzhi said in a low voice.

Wu Gu is not a fool, he knows how terrifying Long Chen is.

"Chan Yu, we can go back."

Ugwu expressed the thoughts of many barbarians. They felt that they could leave at any time and return to the grassland to live a happy life.

Tu Zhi said: "King Wu said that the ghost clan is about to invade, and we will die if we go back. Who can deal with the ghost clan?"

Wu Gu said dissatisfiedly: "Shan Yu, why do you believe what King Wu says? We have been in the grassland for so many years, and we have never seen any ghosts."

"I don't believe King Wu's words, he's lying, I want to go back."

The other guards followed suit, clamoring to leave Yanmen Pass and return to the barbarian grassland.

Tu Zhi has never seen ghosts, but he believes that Long Chen will not deceive, because there is no need.

"Shanyu, what exactly are you planning?"

Ugwu was aggressive and had a bad tone.

Although Tuzhi is the son of Lao Shanyu, he is the authentic descendant of the wolf clan.

However, he lived in Dazhou Mountain when he was a child, ascending to the throne of Shan Yu did not rely on his own ability, but relied on Long Chen's support.

Some people in the barbarian tribe have always been dissatisfied with Long Chen and Tuzhi, and Ugu is their representative.

Even this chanyu's guards listened to Ugwu more than Tuchi, the chanyu.

Ugwu seemed to have become a powerful minister within the barbarians, threatening Tuzhi's throne.

"Ugwu, what's going on, we'll know in two days."

It's hard for Tuzhi to say anything more, Ugwu is not alone, but represents the thoughts of many people in the barbarian tribe.

"Hmph, Shan Yu is Da Zhou's puppet."

Ugwu taunted angrily.

Tuzhi frowned, and said angrily, "Wugu, this king is Shanyu of the wolf tribe, how dare you talk to me like that!"

Wu Gu sneered and said, "You are the king of the wolf clan? You are just Long Chen's dog."

After finishing speaking, Ugu took the guards back to the camp first, leaving Tuzhi alone on the road.

Looking at the guards leaving, Tuzhi felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Tu Zhi also felt ashamed about relying on Long Chen for his position.

He wants to become Shan Yu by virtue of his own ability, instead of being said to be a puppet.

However, he didn't have any foundation in the grassland. If Long Chen wasn't getting stronger and the barbarians were afraid of him, the barbarians would have made a coup long ago.

"You are looking for death..."

Tuzhi shook his head helplessly and sighed.

To this group of people, Tuzhi endured and yielded again and again.

He thought about asking Long Chen for help to kill this group of people, but he didn't do that, he didn't want to kill his own people.

But now, they are looking for a dead end, and Tuzhi can't help it.

It is still pardonable for the evil done by the sky, but it is impossible to live for the evil done by oneself.

Ugwu returned to the barbarian camp with his guards, and two strong middle-aged men stood at the intersection.

"Ugwu, how's it going?"

asked a man wearing a wolf fur hat.

The name of this person is Tuo Deli, and he is a hawk within the barbarian tribe. He has always been dissatisfied with Da Zhou's control over the barbarian tribe.

Another man named Tie Li was also a hawk within the barbarians.

Wu Gu stopped and said with a sneer: "Tu Zhi is Da Zhou's dog. He said that Long Chen is coming soon and told us not to make trouble."

Hearing Long Chen's name, Tuo Deli and Tie Li suddenly changed their expressions.

They have experienced the wars of that year, and Long Chen's ferocity and terror went deep into their bones.
