September 15th, the sixth year of Jianning.

After much planning, Murong Tu led the 20,000 soldiers and 40,000 able-bodied men he had gathered away from the tribe to join the soldiers of the Yuwen tribe.

As for Mo Qing's troops, he had no patience to wait any longer.

Three days later, the Yuwen and Murong tribes joined forces, and their 90,000-strong army marched majestically towards Hulun Lake.

"Commander Yuwen, your warriors are truly magnificent. With such an army, even Tan Shihuai cannot contend with you!"

Looking at the soldiers of the Yuwen tribe walking behind him, a look of envy flashed in Murong Tu's eyes.

Even now, the Han Dynasty still maintains trade relations with the Yuwen tribe, possessing not only sufficient grain and salt, but also exchanging a great deal of Han armor.

Although these armors were rather worn, they still provided good protection for the soldiers of the grasslands. After all, the power of the grassland bows and arrows was vastly different from that of the Han Dynasty.

Faced with Murong Tu's flattery, Yuwen Mohuai waved his hand with a bitter expression.

"Commander Murong, you flatter us. Acquiring these things has almost emptied our coffers. Our tribe's cattle, sheep, and horses have been reduced by 70%. Now we are all counting on defeating the Wuhuan people to replenish our supplies!"

"Commander Yuwen, rest assured, 80% of the spoils from this battle will belong to your tribe. My tribe only needs some able-bodied men and women."

Seeing Yuwen Mohuai crying about being poor, Murong Tu had no choice but to make a promise.

"Haha~, this is perfect, this is perfect!"

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Mohuai burst into laughter with a hearty expression.

Just as the Xianbei allied forces set out, the 5,000 light cavalry dispatched by Shefu, after several days of raiding, also arrived in Murong Tu's territory.

Just as the Wuhuan people were preparing to launch an attack on a medium-sized tribe not far away, a thunderous sound of horses' hooves suddenly rang out from afar.

Turning around, they saw a cavalry force of over seven thousand men galloping towards them.

The Wuhuan cavalry were greatly alarmed and hurriedly turned their horses around to prepare to meet the enemy.

After several days of running, they were exhausted and could not escape much further.

Soon, the enemy got closer and closer, but its speed also slowed down, and it seemed that it was not going to launch an attack.

Under the astonished gazes of the Wuhuan soldiers, the approaching troop slowly came to a stop a kilometer away.

Seeing the group suddenly stop, the Wuhuan people looked at each other, somewhat puzzled.

And this team was none other than the Red Ribbon Army led by the law firm Tuo Law Firm.

After receiving Jia Xu's reply, Tuolü led his soldiers to march westward into Murong Cuo's territory.

While the Red Ribbon Army was gathering able-bodied men and relocating those tribes, it was also sending out scouts to constantly investigate the movements of the Wuhuan light cavalry.

Yesterday, Tuolü finally figured out the movements of the Wuhuan light cavalry and then hurriedly led the Red Ribbon Army over.

"This is... the Han army?"

Upon seeing the red flag fluttering in the wind, the Wuhuan leader looked puzzled but also breathed a sigh of relief.

In his view, if this team was indeed the Han army, then they must have come with the same goal as him, and in that case, he and his men would not have to fight to the death with the other side.

Just then, Tuolü and Chen Qing walked out of the army formation side by side and headed towards the Wuhuan people.

The two stopped 300 meters away, and Tuolu immediately shouted, "Who is the leader? Can you come out and answer me?"

"What do you two have to say?"

After responding, the Wuhuan leader led his men out of the ranks.

Tuolü said loudly, "I know why you have come, but the tribes under Murong Tu's command belong to us. Could you do us a favor and go to the Yuwen tribe in the central region?"

Upon hearing this, the Wuhuan leader paused for a moment, looked at Tuolü and the soldiers with red ribbons wrapped around their necks, and then nodded.

The orders he received were only to harass the Xianbei's rear. As for where to attack, it didn't matter. Besides, with the other side's help, his job was much easier.

Moreover, the Wuhuan leader understood the importance of this raid. If he were to engage in a bloody battle with the enemy here and cause the mission to fail, then his tribe would be in real danger.

Thinking this, the Wuhuan leader shouted, "Since that's the case, then this place is yours!"

"Thank you for your help!!"

Seeing that the other party had agreed to his conditions, Tuolü also bowed to the Wuhuan leader with a smile and thanked him.

"Farewell!!"

After returning the greeting, the Wuhuan leader immediately turned his horse around and returned to his formation, remaining vigilant at all times while leading his soldiers westward.

It wasn't until they had walked three miles that the Wuhuan leader finally breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, a look of anxiety appeared on his face.

This place is still more than 800 li away from the Yuwen tribe. This trip will take several more days. Every day of delay will make the tribe more dangerous. I must speed up.

With this in mind, the Wuhuan leader kept urging his soldiers to speed up their march.

"Heh~, the Wuhuan people are gone too, we need to hurry up!"

Watching the Wuhuan people disappear, Tuolu chuckled lightly, then led the Red Ribbon Army soldiers toward the tribe.

All the cattle, sheep and horses of this tribe were confiscated by Murong Cuo, leaving less than two hundred able-bodied men and some women and children. Faced with the Red Ribbon Army's lectures and education, the herdsmen chose to submit without hesitation.

After incorporating the able-bodied men into the tribe, the women and children, along with their meager food supplies, migrated eastward.
