Chapter 242: The Black Dragon Goes Out of the Wilderness (I)
As soon as Aciuda finished speaking, the tent door fell silent.
Then the tent door was opened, and a man walked in from the outside.
This man is tall and strong, with a bear's waist and a tiger's back, his face is covered with wind and dust, and his face is copper-colored, and he looks like a prairie man.
The man who came in was none other than Balu, the eldest son of Aciuda.
Balu, who is over thirty, now looks a little old, but he is very similar to Acieuda.
It's just that the rules on the grassland are the inheritance system of the youngest son, which is related to the life expectancy, the average life expectancy on the grassland is only thirty-five years old, and generally speaking, after the age of thirty, there may be problems at any time.
So in order to inherit, it is necessary to use the youngest son.
And Balu has a problematic background, and the woman who gave birth to Balu is just a lowly person, because she occasionally sleeps for a night, so she is naturally not liked by Aciuda since she was a child.
However, Balu has had courage since he was a child, he is very hard-working, sensible, and even more in order to please his father, he is diligent in riding and shooting, although his talent is not a genius, but it is quite good, and he can be worthy of his identity, which makes people despise him a lot less.
For a while, Acieuda attached great importance to this eldest son and took this son to fight in the north and south.
However, the good times did not last long, and after the birth of Aciuta's second, third, and fourth sons, Balu, the eldest son who could not be the heir, gradually broke away from the core due to the inheritance system of the last son.
Acieuda's affection for this eldest son became less and less.
Even so, Balu was still crowned by 10,000 households for his merits.
Only the third son, Bige, is now only a thousand households, and his background is even more problematic, that is, his mother is a captive Han woman, and she is not similar to Aciuda in appearance.
Balu was enclosed by 10,000 households and mastered heavy troops, you know, now the whole grassland is not enough, q thousand households, deducting some small tribes that are difficult to send troops, 10,000 households is one-tenth of the troops.
Balu has the power of the army, but it has become gloomy because of it.
This gradually wore down Aciouda's already pitiful favor for him, and he snubbed Balu more and more...... As soon as he thought of this, Aciuda was not very happy, and he became more and more displeased with this son.
On the other hand, don't look at Balu at the age of thirty, but in front of Aciuda, he still met the cat with the mouse.
The reason why Shicai is not inferior is not because the head of the hundred households who guards the golden tent is too close to Khurbo.
Balu looked at this person very unpleasantly, today he was in a hurry, he had just arrived, I heard that Khurbo was summoned by his father Khan, and he was stopped, plus the centurion seemed to be humble, but he resolutely refused, he was already gloomy, and he couldn't suppress his anger.
Now standing in the golden tent, facing the rebuke of his father Khan, this iron-like man, a person with an iron and fierce spirit all over his body, suddenly changed color.
Obviously, as soon as he received the order of his father Khan, he hurried for days, thinking that he could get a warm word from his father Khan, but as soon as they met, he was scolded, and he felt very uncomfortable.
“...... Father Khan, I know that I am wrong. Falling to his knees with a thud, Balu said with his head down.
Aciuda sat on the soft collapse, and when he saw the appearance of his eldest son, his heart moved.
"Get up!" said Aciuda faintly after a moment of silence.
Balu quickly stood up, and as soon as he looked up, he saw his fourth brother Khurbo standing beside Aciuda, and his heart became more and more uncomfortable.
Although the tribal inheritance system is inherited by the youngest son, it is not absolute, the strong man on the grassland is the king, and he followed his father Khan to conquer the south and the north, and his merits are naturally far above Huerbo.
Khurbo has traditional support, and Balu has a group of people who support it.
It is difficult to say who will fall on the throne in the future.
Balu thought to himself, and stood, waiting for his father Khan to ask.
It's his own son, although he usually doesn't like it, but when he sees this sincere and frightened appearance, he is angry.
And it's not a big deal, just knock it out, and after a while, Aciuda said lightly: "You're also back, come here early tomorrow morning to discuss the matter of marching into the Central Plains." ,
"Marching into the Central Plains?" Hearing Father Khan's words, Balu immediately said: "Father Khan, I am willing to take the headquarters of ten thousand households, be your pioneer, and share the worries of Father Khan!"
Balu's words made Aciuda a little satisfied, and nodded: "This time to march into the Central Plains, it is not a one-way journey, you are really willing to share your worries, I can let you lead a team." ,
When Balu heard this, he was overjoyed, and immediately fell to his knees and said loudly, "Thank you, father Khan."
At this time, Khurbo was in his heart, it seems that although his father Khan likes himself and has traditional support, he still has some trust and reuse for his eldest son.
The attribution of this sweat position may not be stable.
"Get up, you are all my sons, my sons of Aciuda, all of you are eagles of the steppe, you two must not let me down!" said Aciuda to his two sons.
"Father Khan rest assured, he will not let Father Khan down!" This time, the two knelt down together and said in unison.
Because the two sons had just come on a trek, they were soon to let them both go down to rest.
Out of the Golden Horde, Balu and Khurbo walked one after the other.
The two are brothers, on the surface, they still have to interact with each other, and along the way, they talked for a while, but they were all casually perfunctory to each other, and there was no practical meaning.
After the separation, the centurion behind Huerbo couldn't help but whisper: "Balu Wanhu's previous actions outside the tent are afraid to be ......"
"Heh, it's just a trivial matter, I won't pay attention to it. , For the temperament of this eldest brother, Hu Erbo understood it, waved his hand, and said: "The key is strength and military merit." ,
In terms of military strength, it is now equal, and they are all heads of ten thousand households!
Balu's disadvantage is that his eldest son is too old, even if he has military power, but his father Khan is now fifty, his health is still healthy, and he has at least five years to live, and Balu was nearly forty at that time.
This is already close to the danger line in the grassland, and the possibility of his father Khan choosing him as his heir is very low.
And even if it is an infant son inheritance system, it is not really the youngest son.
Father Khan conquered the south and the north, he was a violent son, and now that the grassland is calm, he has begun to enrich the harem, and maybe another son will be born.
However, even if a younger brother is born this year, it is too late to grow up, and the grassland position cannot be inherited by someone under the age of fifteen, so they have no hope.
On the whole, Khurbo is still the most promising successor, and not one person can see it clearly, many people understand it, which makes Kulbo popular everywhere.
With this confidence, he naturally doesn't have to mind too much.
"Hmph! It's just a little eagle that hasn't even grown feathers, and it's fighting with me!" Back in his tent, Balu couldn't contain his anger and couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
"Wanhu, why are you angry? Didn't the Great Khan promise you to let you take a team to attack the Central Plains? As long as you make great achievements, who else will dare to compare you?"
"You're right, as long as I win the battle, my father Khan will definitely be impressed with me!" Balu was silent for a while and sneered.
He knew that his father Khan valued his fourth brother the most, but as long as he had the power to serve the army, what would happen in the future would ......
The next day, in the wee hours of the morning, the sun slowly rose, half-hidden under the endless eastern horizon, and the whole prairie was shrouded in a golden light, and the grass and trees were soaked in the morning glow on the banks of the long flowing river.
The smoke of the cooking stove rose one by one, which was the awakening of the tent, and at this moment, the horn of the camp suddenly sounded, and the birds above flew "um" and shook in the sky.
The Great Khan's covenant was severe, and the military discipline was like iron.
Ten soldiers are organized into a small team, led by a ten-captain, ten centurions by a centurion, ten centurions by a thousand-commander, and ten thousand-captains by a ten-thousand.
As soon as the order was issued, more than 100,000 people listened to it.
This trumpet is the summoning order, a total of five times, less than five times, even if it is ten thousand generals, even princes, must be disposed of.
After listening to the first blow, the Hu soldiers belonging to the nearby camp all took their weapons and mounted their horses.
When the trumpet sounded the second time, the sound of hooves in the four fields was mixed, and they gathered in the camps of thousands of households.
The third time the horn stopped, and the blackened patch of the grassland was neatly arranged, except for the horses breathing and panting, there was not the slightest whisper or the sound of weapons clashing.
The fourth trumpet sounded, and two rows of quiver guards formed two lines in front of the Golden Horde, and inside the Golden Horde, all the generals had arrived.
Among them, Hurbo and Balu are the most advanced.
Aciuda sat on a high position, swept the tent, and saw that the generals were gathered, and the two sons were heroic, and his heart was very satisfied.
Although the three sons can't share his worries, at least there are two more sons available!
Hu Erbo made him very satisfied, with this son, a hundred years later, the country he fought down will not decline.
After a while, the Great Khan said: "At the beginning, I started to unify the steppe, and as a result, in fifteen years, I became the Great Khan of the steppe. ”
"It's just that the Han people in the Central Plains are a big disaster in the grassland, and only by solving the Central Plains can they be the real grassland heroes, and I have decided to go out in person to conquer the Central Plains!"
The two sons and the generals answered the order together, and they were all happy.
I heard the Great Khan say, "I personally led 30,000 households in my headquarters and attacked Youzhou." The third son, Hu Erbo, led the headquarters to attack the Han people's merger, and Balu led the headquarters to attack the Han people's Liangzhou. ,
The trade routes in Liangzhou are developed, and there are many tribes that have not yet been conquered, Balu has long heard of it, and when he heard his father Khan's arrangement, he was immediately happy in his heart, and hurriedly thanked him.
Deyang Zhenren is quite familiar with the affairs of the Central Plains, and he is also in this council, but he is only qualified to listen.
Looking at Aciouda, the Deyang Daoist observed the change in luck.
Following Aciuda's order, I saw that Aciuda was filled with purple qi, and it condensed with the black qi, forming a black dragon phantom.
And almost at the same time, the two sons below were full of purple qi on their faces.
What Ah Xiuda thought at the end, no one knows, and then the army swore an oath, and the three armies immediately separated, descending from the sky, only to see the rolling iron flow, forming three powerful black and purple qi, in order to break through all the momentum, and advance towards their respective destinations.
