At the beginning of the afternoon, on the plateau in front of the Tanhan Shan's sacrificial altar, the two great armies, Lian Lian and Kebineng, were still fighting with all their might. Bloody streams flowed on the ground while piles of dead bodies were piled up into mountains. Nearly two hours of fighting had brought more than thirty thousand casualties on both sides. Due to Bu Dugen's sudden withdrawal and the fact that he was watching closely from the back, Kebineng, who had already returned to the army and held the commanding authority, could not advance or retreat, he could only bitterly wait for the arrival of the reinforcements.
The commoners who were watching the battle had retreated to a distant mountain. Countless people had tears on their faces, and their faces looked so sad that they were numb. People even tried to commit suicide by fainting. There were many family members fighting to the death in front of them, regardless of who won or lost today, the biggest loser today was the Xianbei People.
"There is no need for this king to hide anything. Bu Dugen has an agreement with this king!" He looked at the distant Bu Dugen who had not moved an inch, and stroked his beard while wondering: "Kebineng has already revealed his defeat, if Bu Dugen were to attack now, he would definitely destroy Kebineng's army in one go! Yet he didn't move an inch. What kind of intentions did he have? Furthermore, Kebineng seemed to have summoned for reinforcements, but has not made the slightest of movements, what is the reason behind this? "
"Could it be?" Gongsun Xu's eyes lit up as he guessed, "Could it be that Bu Dugen wants to take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the situation?"
"Hmm?" When he and Bu Dugen were plotting and plotting, he had promised that after killing Kebineng and Su Li, he would give their territories to the Sang Mountain Tribe, and Bu Dugen had also swore an oath in the name of his ancestor's spirit and King Tan Shihuai. Thus, he had never suspected that Bu Dugen had any ulterior motives, and could be said to be a complete mystery to the local people. At this moment, Gongsun Xu had revealed this matter with a single sentence, and he instantly felt that this was very likely to be the case. Otherwise, Bu Dugen would also be a lackey on the battlefield, how could he not see through the great opportunity before him!
Gongsun Xu rubbed his chin, and muttered to himself, "Could the King tell me about the transaction with Bu Dugen, I might be able to discern something fishy."
"This king has promised to give Kebineng and Su Li's territory to the Xi Men tribe afterwards." He did not even try to hide it. At this point, there was no need for him to.
Gongsun Xu shook his head: "Your majesty is too generous, it will definitely arouse Bu Dugen's guard and greed!"
He Lian was startled and quickly understood. His face was filled with regret. He originally only wanted to use Bu Dugen to attack Bu Dugen and Pu Tou after stabilizing the situation, so he promised whatever conditions were good, completely forgetting his stingy reputation, and that he should bargain a bit before acting in accordance to his usual style. Now that it seemed to be as Gongsun Xu had said, Bu Dugen did not believe his promise in the slightest, which was why he had sworn a poison oath for him to be at ease.
"You dare!" He Lian could not help but be infuriated. He stomped his feet and completely forgot that he had ill intentions.
"Great King, Bu Dugen's men are not enough to cause fear, I am actually very worried about Kebineng's reinforcements! If it was really as the King had guessed, Tuoba Tribe and the Yuwen tribe would come to help Kebineng, I'm afraid, "Gongsun Xu had not even finished speaking when he stopped in shock, because a large group of cavalry wearing all kinds of leather clothes had suddenly appeared from the southern side of the mountain road.
He Lian also saw the horse, and said solemnly: "It's the people from the Yuwen tribe!"
"It looks like there are more than 20,000 people!" Gongsun Xu calculated the number of people and his heart immediately skipped a beat. Gongsun Zan's army had not received any news yet, but Kebineng's reinforcements had arrived first, and they were afraid that the situation on the battlefield would change in the blink of an eye, and they hoped that the He Lian troops could hold on.
He Lian looked at Yuwen tribe's approaching cavalry and suddenly asked with a smile: "General Zimin, will Marquis Jin's army really come?"
"My father will definitely come!" Gongsun Xu resolutely answered. Looking at the mountain road to the west, he said in bewilderment, "It's just that I don't know what went wrong!"
"Brothers, reinforcements are here!" The reinforcements have arrived! " When Kebineng saw that the Yuwen tribe's men had appeared, he immediately shouted out in ecstasy as he grabbed the big banners beside him, waving them while shouting loudly: "Work harder, the reinforcements are here, the enemy is doomed to lose!"
Kebineng's men were always at a disadvantage. If not for his huge prestige, the people from either Helian or Bu Dugen would have collapsed long ago. Seeing that reinforcements had arrived, their morale was greatly boosted, and they suddenly launched a fierce attack towards their opponents who were stuck together.
Murong Lianxin was caught off guard and quickly called his subordinates to counterattack.
Gongsun Xu advised: "King, the situation is bad. Why don't we have General Murong Lianxin retreat to the bottom of the altar to guard it? Your Majesty, don't worry. I swear with my life, my father will definitely come! "
"Let's see first." He hastily shook his head in refusal as his mouth revealed a trace of a proud smile.
Gongsun Xu saw the smile on his face, and frowned in thought.
Seeing that the Yuwen tribe had arrived, Bu Dugen immediately gave the order to continue retreating. Very carefully, he increased the distance between them to about four to five Li.
Ge Wutu rode on his horse proudly, he did not follow behind Tuoba Liwei to advance, but chose a hidden mountain path to the south instead. The moment he thought about how he could make fun of many people, and even change the outcome of the battle, he became extremely excited. After this battle, the Yuwen tribe would move from the bitter cold Mo Bei to the lush and beautiful surroundings of the Tanhan Shan. Furthermore, he would become one of the kings in the control of the fresh and low tribe.
"Big Head, it's time to prepare for the charge!" Captain Yuwen shouted loudly, waking Ge Wutu up from his complacency.
Ge Wutu looked up and sure enough, he was already three kilometers away from the battlefield.
"Let's have our men jog and charge when we get close!"
"Here!" Yuwen Zhong replied and turned around to give the order.
More than twenty thousand of Yuwen tribe's cavalry began to accelerate, roaring and shouting as they approached the battlefield.
Seeing that the reinforcements were about to begin their attack, Kebineng's morale was once again high.
"Heh heh." When He Lian saw this scene, he suddenly laughed coldly.
Gongsun Xu's mind went blank, and instantly understood one thing: The people from the Yuwen tribe were not Kebineng's reinforcements, they were the company's reinforcements!
He Lian looked at Gongsun Xu's expression and asked complacently with a smile: "General Zimin understands?"
"The King has great foresight, I admire him greatly!" Gongsun Xu cupped his hands together, there was indeed some admiration in his heart, and at the same time, he asked with even more curiosity: "What condition did the King use to obtain Ge Wutu's support?"
He Lian laughed coldly, "This king has agreed to marry Ge Wutu's daughter as the queen and has chosen his son as the next Great King of Xianbei. Other than that, This king has also agreed to have his tribe move east to the northern foot of the Great Firmament Mountain."
Gongsun Xu asked in shock, "The King won't really do that, will he?"
"Humph!" He Lian snorted: "Ge Wutu is too greedy, to actually dare interfere with the selection of the next King, you truly do not know your place!"
Gongsun Xu cupped his hands in admiration. It was because he prided himself on his shamelessness, but now it seemed that the gap between him and He Lian was impossible to calculate! And he didn't even trust anyone, who wanted to scheme against him!
Seeing that Gongsun Zan's expression did not look good, He Lian laughed and comforted, "Don't worry General Zimin, this duke truly views Marquis Jin as an ally and will definitely not go back on my words!"
"Haha, of course I believe in the King! My father has always viewed the King as a true ally, otherwise he would not have led his army here! " Gongsun Xu also laughed, but in his heart, he did not believe a single word He said.
He pointed to the front and shouted excitedly: "Ge Wutu is ready to charge!"
Gongsun Xu could not help but sigh for Kebineng. Although this guy's reputation was resounding, his ability to find helpers was far too lacking!
At this point of time, Ge Wutu was less than a mile away from the battlefield. The troops that are attacking Kebineng! "
Yuwen Zhong was shocked, "Big Head, didn't you say we would attack the company's people?"
"Idiot!" Ge Wutu scolded loudly: "What do you know! Hurry and give the order, everyone attack Kebineng's troops! "
"Here!" Although Yuwen Chong did not understand, she still obediently passed down the order to the people behind him.
As Kebineng prepared to welcome Ge Wutu, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. The people of the Yuwen tribe were actually charging straight at him! He was unable to react in time, and thought that Ge Wutu had made a mistake, and quickly shouted out: "Men, raise this king's flag and tell Ge Wutu that he has made a mistake!"
Immediately, a few people separated themselves from the group and rushed towards the Yuwen tribe with Kebineng's banner, while shouting and running.
In the next moment, Kebineng's heart dropped. The one facing him was actually Ge Wutu, even though he clearly heard the shout, he still led his troops and rushed over. The few people he sent out were instantly chopped off, and were stomped into meat paste by countless of horse hooves.
"Kill!" Ge Wutu bellowed, the curved blade pointed straight at Kebineng's big standard.
After a dozen of breaths, the people of Yuwen tribe rushed into Kebineng's camp from the side. Kebineng's men did not even have time to react, and instantly, everyone was thrown onto the ground. Kebineng had the upper hand just now, and in that instant, he disappeared, the formation was also in chaos, and his morale was even higher.
Murong Lianxin took this opportunity to counterattack, and only managed to kill Kebineng's troops, causing them to retreat step by step.
The commoners that were watching the battle from the far mountain saw the drastic change and cried out in alarm.
Kebineng was infuriated, he roared towards the sky and brought over a thousand people to attack Ge Wutu. At this point in time, Kebineng had completely lost his cool. His hatred towards Ge Wutu rose to the skies, and even if the entire army were to die, he wanted to kill this person!
"Hahahaha, Kebineng is finished!" In front of the great hall, He Lian was laughing loudly.
Gongsun Xu slowly nodded his head. If no more reinforcements were to arrive, then his entire army would fall right in front of him. He suddenly thought of something. He had even said that Kebineng might be looking for Yuwen tribe and ask for his help, but now that Yuwen tribe had appeared, he couldn't even find a trace of him. Could it be that his father's army met the Tuoba Tribe unintentionally? He raised his head and looked at Bu Dugen's troops in the distance.
Bu Dugen was currently extremely regretful. If he had known earlier that He Lian had this kind of plan, he would have obediently teamed up with Kebineng. He would have first killed He Lian and then planned to kill him! But now, the moment Kebineng was killed, the Xishan tribe would definitely get their cruel revenge. They might not even leave a single dog alive! Bu Dugen had never heard of the term cold lips and teeth, but he understood this logic.
"Wu Li, send down the order, the entire army will attack Ge Wutu!"
After thinking about it again and again, Bu Dugen finally made a difficult decision.
