Duan Ri Lu Jun fell into deep thought. Yuwen Mohuai was right. Small foreign tribes like Duan and Yuwen tribes are at the outermost periphery of the core of power of the Xianbei people. They are the humblest and lowest-level existences. Perhaps when the materials are abundant, Tuoba Liwei will give them some, but now Tuoba Liwei is too busy to take care of their lives and death.

From beginning to end, they were just dogs raised by Tuoba Li. The owner had no food. Who would take care of the dog? Even when they were too hungry, killing the dog for food was very common.

As the situation on the grassland became more difficult, the life of Duan and Yuwen tribes was probably even more difficult than other tribes. Tuoba Liwei would never hurt the interests of the Tuoba tribe in order to take care of them, so it is unrealistic to rely on other people's gifts.

Yuwen Mohuai's plan to return to the east made Duan Ri Lujuan feel moved. Yuwen Mohuai wanted to return to the eastern grassland, so why didn't Duan Ri Lujuan want to live a free and unrestrained life. Now, Duan Ri Lujuan has had enough of this life that he was bullied by others and lived a worse life than even a dog. If he could return to his hometown, Duan Ri Lujuan would of course be one hundred willing.

However, in front of outsiders, Duan Ri Lujuan did not dare to reveal this thought. Once Tuoba Li knew about it, escaping would mean rebellion. Not only would it not be able to leave, but it would also be a disaster of extermination. Duan Ri Lujuan did not dare to try the lives of the tens of thousands of people in Duan Tribe.

But now Yuwen Mohuai mentioned this matter to him solemnly. Duan Ri Lu Jun thought about it over and over again, and finally nodded in agreement.

After all, staying is only a dead end, but escaping still has hope. As long as they can return to the familiar land, they will be like fish in water and regain their vitality.

Duan Ri Lu Juan was also considering whether Yuwen Mohuai said was true or false. He was considering whether Yuwen Mohuai might be assigned by Tuoba Liwei to test him. Now it seems that it doesn't look very similar. After all, Tuoba Liwei is probably already in a state of anxiety at this time. There are so many large tribes to deal with, how could there be time to consider things like Duan tribe like the Duan tribe? Therefore, what Yuwen Mohuai said is relatively credible.

Duan Ri Lu Juan also knew Yuwen Mohuai's situation. Even if he was better than him, he would not be better than him. Yuwen's ministry was also excluded and bullied by other ministries. Life was difficult, and it was reasonable for Yuwen Mohuai to think of returning to the east.

Relying on the strength of the Yuwen Department, it is difficult to escape. If Yuwen Mohuai really can win over Duan Ri Lu Jun to act together, then their strength will increase exponentially and the possibility of success will also increase exponentially. This is definitely a win-win way of cooperation.

As for the relationship between the two groups after returning to the Eastern Grassland, that is a story later.

So in the end, Duan Ri Lu Juan chose to believe in Yuwen Mohuai. Just as Yuwen Mohuai said, escaping may be a dead end, but staying is destined to be a dead end. The difference is that at most it can only survive for a few days, boiling a frog in warm water and slowly being killed.

When they led the Duan Xianbei to escape from the eastern grasslands, Duan Ri Lujuan also hoped to bring vitality to the tribe and not be destroyed by the Bingzhou army. However, their wishes were beautiful, but the reality was cruel. Even if they defected to the Xianbei people, they might not be able to make their lives better. In recent years, the Duan Xianbei lived like years under the exploitation of other tribes, and lived an extremely difficult life.

But no matter how hard life is, it can always be maintained. However, the current situation, even the last hope has been eliminated. If you stay, you really don’t see any chance of survival.

So at this point, Duan Ri Lu Juan had to fight for the survival of the tribe. He and Yuwen Mohuai discussed secretly for a night and decided to act at the third update tomorrow night. Yuwen Mohuai will lead his troops to join him, and then they will go east.

The Yuwen department is full of soldiers, with no elderly, young, women and children, while the Duan department has all kinds of people. The action is relatively slow. Yuwen Mohuai and Duan Ri Lu Jun discussed that the clan's old and young will be arranged in the middle. The army of the two departments is responsible for opening the road and breaking the back. If they are pursued by the Tuoba tribe, they will fight to the death to protect the safety of the large group of troops.

In fact, the road to the east is still very dangerous. If Tuoba Liwei discovers and treats them as defectors, they will definitely send troops to pursue them. There will inevitably be a fierce battle. If the pursuers sent by Tuoba Liwei do not talk much, they will still have a chance to escape. But if there are too many pursuers, then the road to the east will be a life-threatening death.

But now they have no choice, and it is better to have a life of nine deaths than to have ten deaths without life.

After the two negotiated all the details of the escape, Yuwen Mohuai took advantage of the darkest time before dawn to quietly return to his camp. Now he cannot reveal his whereabouts.

After dawn, all the Xianbei tribes fell into crazy killing, but the targets of the killing were not people, but cattle and sheep.

Although there is still some of the forage in each tribe, those forage can only be left for war horses to eat. The Xianbei people rely on war horses in war. If the war horses are starved to death, they will be unable to move forward.

Therefore, after there is no forage, the first thing to be slaughtered is cattle and sheep. While the cattle and sheep are still fat and strong, they can get more meat after slaughtering. If they are starved to death and are skinny and bony, they will not be worth the loss.

But cattle and sheep are the lifeblood of the Xianbei people. Many Xianbei people were heartbroken by such large-scale slaughter, especially those women, who even cried loudly. The cattle and sheep were gone, and their days would still grow very well. How should they survive?

Now the Xianbei people are short of food. The beef and mutton slaughtered is piled up like a mountain. It is winter now, and the meat is frozen hard, so there is no need to worry about the meat breaking. But after this winter, spring is in full bloom and the meat cannot be preserved.

Although they can also air-dried the meat into dried meat strips, which can be stored for a longer time, no matter how much jerky meat is, it will eventually be a day after eating it. The Xianbei people grazed, and the most important thing is to rely on cows and ewes to raise their cubs. When the cows and lambs grow up, they can continue to raise their cubs. In this way, the Xianbei people can get endless food.

Usually, they kill cattle and sheep and most of them are bulls and rams. Cows and ewes will only be slaughtered when they cannot give birth to cubs. But now they will all be killed, and the Xianbei people's futures will be cut off.
