Chapter 1545 Additional Conditions

Tuoba Luguan saw Tuoba Liwei in a simple and broken tent. Seeing his father's haggard and old look, Tuoba Luguan couldn't help but feel sore in his nose and kneeled down and cried.

Tuoba Liwei looked at his son who thought he had died, and couldn't help but burst into tears. Tuoba Liwei had many descendants, but only Tuoba De Mohan and Tuoba Silu survived this disaster. The other sons died in war and losing their son in old age is probably the greatest sorrow in life.

Tuoba Luguan suddenly appeared in front of him, which surprised Tuoba Liwei. Moreover, from Tuoba Luguan, he learned that not all his sons had died, at least a dozen sons, including Tuoba Luguan, survived, but they all became prisoners of Cao Liang, but one thing was better. Although they became prisoners, they were treated well, much better than ordinary Xianbei people. Cao Liang still asked them to manage various tribes. The only difference was that they had to accept the jurisdiction of officials appointed by the Bingzhou Military Commission and did not have any disobedience. If they tried to escape or rebel, they would be ruthlessly suppressed and slaughtered.

However, it is obvious that Tuoba Luguan and others have accepted this kind of life in captivity. They dare not resist and accept it. Although they live a humble life, they can at least live without being displaced or desperate.

Tuoba Liwei sighed to the sky. Originally, their Xianbei tribe was a proud and arrogant tribe, but now they could only fall to the point of relying on others. It was a pity that, but this avoided the destruction of the Xianbei people and allowed them to survive. Tuoba Liwei could not lead his people to the peak, so he had no right to accuse Tuoba Lu of living a life of silence and creating heroes in the times. But if he could not become a hero, he would just be a humble dog if he wanted to survive.

Tuoba Luguan took out Cao Liang's letter and respectfully handed it to Tuoba Liwei. Tuoba Liwei opened the letter and read it carefully, and his expression became extremely solemn.

"Father Khan, what did the letter say?" Tuoba Demohan asked impatiently with an anxious look on his face.

Tuoba Li said calmly: "Cao Liang said that as long as we put down our weapons and hand over the war horse and surrender to him, we can avoid death and return to Shengle Grassland and live like those who have already surrendered."

Tuoba Demo Khan said skeptically: "Really? Is this a trap of Cao Liang that induces us to surrender and then surround and annihilate them. His father Khan should not trust him easily."

Tuoba Li smiled bitterly and said, "At this point, even if Cao Liang doesn't come to attack, we can't survive this winter, so my father thinks that Cao Liang has no need to deceive us. What's more, he did not send others this time, but only sent a Luguan to us, just to let us know his sincerity in surrender. In the Battle of Shengle, Cao Liang captured at least 500,000 people. He could tolerate these 500,000 people, so how could he not tolerate these tens of thousands of people?"

Tuoba Demohan thought about it, and this is the same. If Cao Liang wanted to kill him, he would not need to do anything now. He would wait for this winter to come. On this wasteland in the North Sea, the severe cold was enough to kill every Xianbei person. At this time, Cao Liang sent Tuoba Luguan to surrender, obviously intending to let him go.

Although they can't guess what Cao Liang is thinking now, if there really is a way out, they will still hold on to it.

Tuoba Demo Khan said, "Does Cao Liang have no other conditions?"

"Yes, he does have an additional condition."

Tuoba Demohan felt nervous and asked urgently: "What are the conditions?"

Tuoba Li said calmly: "He wants Liu Yuan's head."

"Ah!" Tuoba Demohan couldn't help but frown. He didn't expect Cao Liang to make such a request. Obviously, Cao Liang could pardon the Xianbei people's death penalty, but he could not forgive Liu Yuan, and he also had to use the Xianbei people's hands to get rid of Liu Yuan.

From Tuoba Liwei's indifferent expression, this was obviously an insignificant thing. Yes, if one head could be exchanged for peace for the whole clan, Tuoba Liwei would naturally take off the head without hesitation. If it was his biological son, maybe he would weigh it. However, Liu Yuan was just his adopted son of Mori, a person who acted as a thug for him. Tuoba Liwei naturally did not feel pity for him.

Tuoba Demokhan showed unbearable expressions. After all, he and Liu Yuan had a close relationship over the past year. In a battle, Tuoba Demokhan was surrounded by the Bingzhou army. Fortunately, Liu Yuan fought to save him to death, so he was able to escape his life. Since then, the relationship between the two has become more intimate. Tuoba Demokhan regards Liu Yuan as his brother and sister, but now he has to cut off his brother and sister, so he naturally finds it difficult to calm down.

Tuoba Liwei said indifferently: "If you give up one person, you will be at peace with the whole clan. Even if Cao Liang wants to be the head of his father, he will not frown at all. What's more, Liu Yuan is just an outsider. If you give up him and save the whole clan, there will be no regrets."

Tuoba Demohan said in embarrassment: "Since Liu Yuan surrendered, he has been through life and death, and has made countless military achievements for the Xianbei. What's more, he has saved his child's life, but now he wants to kill him with his own hands, how can he bear it?"

Tuoba Li sighed slightly and said, "For my father, I know my son's kindness and righteousness, please step back. This matter will be done by my father. For a father, a person who is about to die, he is not afraid of taking any evil consequences."

So Tuoba Weihui retreated to Tuoba De Mokhan and others and announced Liu Yuan to meet him.

As soon as Liu Yuan stepped into the tent, the personal guards who were lying on the left and right rushed forward and captured him. Liu Yuan did not struggle. He seemed to know that the day would come sooner or later, but just smiled and said to Tuoliwei: "Is the Khan ready to surrender to Cao Liang? Is he going to use my head to serve as a gift?"

Tuoba Liwei was also surprised by Liu Yuan's performance. He was not angry or struggling. As if he had expected someone to deal with him, he easily surrendered. Tuoba Li sighed slightly and said, "Liu Yuan, you are a smart person. If you have the chance, you will definitely soar into the sky. It's a pity that the luck is not good. If you encounter an opponent like Cao Liang, you can only say that this is fate!"

Tuoba Liwei ordered Liu Yuan to be beheaded on the spot, and his head was filled with a wooden box, and handed it over to Tuoba Luguan, who was brought back to Cao Liang. He also agreed to all the conditions for Cao Liang, and the entire Xianbei clan surrendered to Cao Liang.

On the night after Tuoba Luguan left, Tuoba Liwei passed away suddenly at the age of 82. In fact, Tuoba Liwei had already had all the lamps and oils. He only had to breathe a sigh of relief because he could not let go of the Xianbei tribe. Now that the major event was settled, he let go as he felt relieved and a generation of grassland hero died.
