The scale of Erke City is much smaller than that of Moline City, and the city walls are also short. Many places are still built with wooden fences. It seems that the city walls are not to defend against enemy attacks, but to defend against wild beasts and wolves.

There are not many buildings in the city. There are a few tall buildings, which are not used for residence, but for daily sacrifices. However, there are many tents of different colors around Erke City, and there are countless cows.

The sheep can be seen endlessly. For the Hu people, wherever the Khan is, that is their core.

Outside the city, hundreds of people were standing there. One person was leading the way. He was over fifty years old. He was tall and tall, and his old face still had a strong sense of majesty. He was Tianxiong Khan Azlan. Sixty-sixth of his fifties were born this year.

It has been forty years since he succeeded to the throne of Khan at the age of six. In the thousands of years of history of the Hu people, there are only a handful of khans who have reigned for more than forty years.

Arslan's life was full of ups and downs. He inherited the throne as a young man, but due to insufficient prestige, he was unable to suppress and control the Momeng tribes. In the end, Liu Jie succeeded in dividing the Momeng tribes with a plan. Momeng was divided into two and gradually declined, but it was also

It was in his hands that he worked tirelessly and worked hard to govern. The Mobei Hu tribe that split off grew stronger day by day, with millions of soldiers, and its strength far exceeded that of the Monan Hu tribe. Today, the Momeng grassland is showing a trend of reunification.

When Huheba Ri saw Arslan from a distance, there was a look of surprise on his face. Liu Jie's name was well known in Momeng, and his prestige was no weaker than that of Li Zhong. If it hadn't been for this person back then, Momeng would have

He wouldn't split into two. Arslan should hate him, but he didn't expect to go out of the city to greet him in person.

Huheba Ri quickly mounted his horse and ran forward. When he came to Arslan, he turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee and said, "My son, please see your father Khan."

Arslan helped his son up and asked aloud: "Huhe Bari, has Prime Minister Liu Jie arrived?"

Huheba Ri smiled and said: "It's right behind, we'll be there soon."

Arslan smiled and nodded, looking forward.

Huheba Ri walked a few steps and came to behind Arslan. There were five men standing there. Huheba Ri glanced at it and chuckled: "How are you guys doing these days?"

"I haven't seen my eldest brother for several months, and I miss him very much."

"Brother is looking more and more radiant."

"Hey, you hang out with Han people all day long, how can you still have the aura of our Naiman tribe on you?"

Of the five younger brothers, some are close to them, while others are hostile and ridiculing them.

Azillan has hundreds of wives and concubines, and more than sixty children, but only six sons, the eldest is Huhe Bari, the second is Chagan, the third is Enhebala, the fourth is Hedemutu, the fifth is Pueraria, and

The youngest son Mengtu.

Now that Arslan is old and has reached the twilight of his life, he does not have much energy to control and suppress his sons. In recent years, his six sons have been very active, and each one has his own power and tribe.

Many tribal nobles of the entire Mobei Hu tribe are also divided into two factions. One faction is Dadai Jihu and Bari, the second, fourth and fifth sons have formed an alliance with them, and the other faction is the youngest son Tu of Azillan.

Tu Meng, the third son Enkhbala is his staunch supporter. Judging from the current strength comparison between the two sides, the youngest son Tu Meng's prestige or number of supporters are not as good as those of his eldest brother Huhe Bari, but his military strength is

It's worse than that.

The system of succession between the Momenghu people and the Central Plains Dynasty is very different. The Central Plains Dynasty has strict rules for the succession of the throne, that is, to establish a direct line to the elder rather than to the virtuous.

The tradition of the Hu people is that when the children grow up, the older ones will fend for themselves, while the younger ones will stay with them to serve as future heirs and inherit all the family's wealth. Of course, Azilan is a reliable

Khan, commanded the entire Mobei grassland. It was impossible for him to give all of such a huge land to his youngest son Tumeng. The six sons were all allocated some land and tribes, but as the youngest son, as the inherited tradition of the Hu people, Azlan

He still gave the best piece of land to his youngest son, which was the entire western region of the Mobei Grassland. It was an area of ​​thousands of miles with nearly a hundred tribes and hundreds of thousands of warriors.

The person who just made a mockery of Hohe Bari hanging out with the Han people all day long was Enhebala, the third child. He was extremely hostile to Hohe Bari. A few years ago, Hohe Bari promulgated a law in his own territory, and all Han people were treated the same.

He was released to freedom and was no longer a slave. The news spread to Enhebala, causing many Han people in his territory to flee and went to Hohe Bari. Enhebala went to Huhe Bari several times to ask for help.

They all flatly refused, and at this point, the relationship between the two brothers began to deteriorate.

The smile on Huheba Ri's face did not disappear. He glanced at Enhebala, as if he didn't care about his bad words, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Third brother, a distinguished guest is coming, please be careful what you say."

Tumen whispered instructions to Enhebala, then looked at Huhe Bari, with a smile on his face: "I haven't seen my elder brother for several months, and I miss him very much."

Huheba Ri said with a smile: "If you miss me in the future, you can go to Molin City. I will treat you well as a big brother."

Tu Meng smiled and nodded: "If I have the chance, I will definitely go to Molin City to see it. Many people say that it is the most prosperous place in the entire Mobei. I have been dreaming about it for a long time."

"If my sixth brother comes, I will welcome you wholeheartedly."

Huhe Bari's face was full of smiles, but his mind was tense. The snarling wolf is not scary, but the dark wolf that hides in the dark, or does not take action, but will strike a fatal blow, brother.

Among the six of them, Tu Meng is the most similar to himself. They are all the kind of people who are as steady as a mountain and hide their swords in their smiles. Especially when I heard the news recently, Tu Meng also started to free Han slaves, build cities, and farmland in his own territory.

Several Han counselors gathered together, and the news made Huhe Bari feel heavy.

The two brothers looked at each other and looked in the direction of the Jin Dynasty envoy, with a meaningful smile on their faces.

Arriving at the Mobei Hu tribe welcoming the team, Li Xun waved his hand to signal the troops to stop. Liu Jie got off the carriage, straightened his clothes, and saw Arslan at a glance. A smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Stepping forward, hugging Arslan, he laughed and said: "Old brother, I haven't seen you for more than 20 years, but you are so old. If I come back a few years later, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you.

.”

Liu Jie's words were a bit casual, rough, and even rude. Everyone behind Arslan had some anger on their faces, but Arslan himself was not angry at all, but was very happy.

Hugging Liu Jie and patting him on the back, the two separated. Arslan laughed loudly and said: "Even in the mighty Goshawk, there will be a day of aging. After more than 20 years, isn't Big Brother also full of hair?"

White hair, half a foot in the gate of hell?"

Liu Jie nodded and sighed: "If I can see my old brother again in my lifetime, I, Liu Jie, will die with no regrets."

"I also feel that way."

The two looked at each other and both raised their heads and laughed.

Whether it is Li Zhong or Liu Jie, both of them have defeated Arslan. Arslan admires and awes these two people very much, but when it comes to personal feelings, Li Zhong is far inferior to Liu Jie.
