Chapter 660: Red Bearded Dragon, Iron Buddha Goes North to Fight the Jurchens
There was a hint of unwillingness in Murong Chui's words, and his eyes wandered between the busy camp and the grassland in the distance.

Upon hearing this, Murong Jun stopped what he was doing, turned to look at his second brother, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

"Second brother, how could I not know the resentment in your heart?"

"But the times create heroes, but also create difficulties. We, the Murong Xianbei, have now reached a critical juncture of life and death. If we cannot endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, how can we achieve glory in the future?"

He spoke slowly, his voice low.

"Look at this camp and our people. They are all expecting us to lead them out of the predicament and restore the prestige of the Xianbei."

"As descendants of the Murong clan, we shoulder not only our personal honor and disgrace, but also the future of the entire tribe."

Murong Jun said this, walked up and patted Murong Chui on the shoulder, with helplessness in his eyes.

"Second brother, eldest brother is right. The tribes on the grassland have always respected the strong. If we want to gain a foothold in this chaotic world, we must make ourselves stronger."

Murong Ke also came over at this time. Although he was young, his eyes revealed a calmness that beyond his age.

"Moreover, forming an alliance with Cangzhou is not just a simple request for help."

"This is an opportunity, an opportunity for us to use external forces to quickly grow stronger. As long as we can make good use of this opportunity, in the future, we, the Murong Xianbei, will surely rise again on this grassland, and even surpass the past."

He paused and continued.

Upon hearing this, Murong Chui looked up at his two brothers, took a deep breath, suppressed all the resentment and struggle in his heart, nodded silently, and turned around to devote himself to the busy preparations.

At the same time, Su Ye, who was far away in Tianheng Prefecture, the capital of Hengzhou, was leaning leisurely against the window, playing with a string of exquisite jade beads in one hand and holding tightly the plan that was urgently sent from Cangzhou in the other.

The sunlight filtered through the window, scattering mottled light on his face, adding a touch of gentleness to his temperament.

On the side, Gao Jiong, currently serving as the governor of Hengzhou, sat quietly. His slightly thin body appeared particularly steady in the interweaving of light and shadow.

Su Ye's eyes slowly moved across the plan.

"Let the weak races move south, provide them with weapons and food, and let them fight among themselves. Although this plan is brilliant, it is also too cruel."

"Also, we cannot provide too much food at once. We need to provide it in batches to tie the Xianbei people firmly to our chariot and make them a pawn in our hands."

He gently put down the plan, frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"My lord, you are absolutely right. This plan is indeed cruel, but it is also a good move in the current situation."

"However, the plan mentioned that the Xianbei people should demonstrate their achievements in exchange for more support. This may arouse the resentment and unwillingness of the Xianbei people."

Upon hearing this, Gao Ying coughed lightly, his voice a little hoarse.

"Indeed, the Xianbei people are proud and brave. It is not easy to get them to bow their heads and ask for help. Asking them to exchange their achievements for support is like stabbing another knife in their hearts."

"But, this is exactly what we need, isn't it?"

"Only by making this jackal feel real pressure and crisis can we stimulate their potential to the greatest extent and make them more dependent on us."

Su Ye nodded and turned his gaze to the window, as if staring at something farther away.

"However, I have an idea that may make this plan more complete and more humane."

Having said that, Su Ye's tone suddenly changed, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"What do you think, my lord?" Gao Jiong was perked up when he heard this and asked with great interest.

"If we want to fight against the three major alliances on the grassland today, it is not enough to rely on the Murong Xianbei alone. We can provide these Xianbei people with commanders and generals, so that they can fight against other grassland alien races more effectively under the leadership of our generals."

"In this way, the strength of the Xianbei tribe will be rapidly improved, and we can also better control the movements of the Xianbei tribe through these generals."

Su Ye smiled slightly and said slowly.

Is the Xianbei tribe that has the three Murong brothers, Murong Jun, Murong Chui and Murong Ke, strong?

Of course it's strong!
But this is not enough!

They are still far from achieving their goal of fighting against the three major alliances. This does not mean that the three Murong brothers are any worse than the Jurchen Wanyan clan and the Jurchen Aisin-Gioro clan.

To be honest, the Murong Xianbei clan, which had two saint-level commander brothers, Murong Chui and Murong Ke, faced off against the Jurchen Wanyan clan with equal military strength.

The outcome is really uncertain, but there is a high probability that the Jurchen Wanyan clan will be beaten by these two brothers.

But the current situation is that the sizes of the two sides are simply not on the same level. Even if all the old, young, women and children in the Murong Xianbei clan are included, the total population is only a few hundred thousand.

After the three major alliances on the opposite side gathered many small tribes on the grassland, if we don't consider the level of eliteness and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, they can still gather hundreds of thousands of grassland men who can fight by gritting their teeth.

In this situation, the Murong Xianbei will be beaten to death!
Therefore, at this time, a little external help is needed.

Direct support of troops is definitely not possible. The three states under Su Ye’s command are now recuperating because of the problem of troop strength.

However, it is still possible to provide some support to the generals and commanders, and let the Xianbei people kill as many of the manpower of the three major alliances as possible.

"Although this plan is good, will the Xianbei people be willing to accept it?"

"After all, they are the proud wolves of the grassland. How could they easily allow someone from another tribe to lead them?"

Gao Ying's eyes lit up, but then he showed some worry.

"This requires us to use it skillfully. Don't we have generals from the same grassland tribe under our command?"

"For example, Jin Wushu, Yuwen Chengdu, Tie Shiwen and others, they are not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also have a thorough understanding of the situation on the grassland."

"Letting these people go to help the Xianbei people will not only enhance their strength, but also allow them to feel the closeness and understanding from their own people."

"Moreover, if Chengdu and Jin Wushu are preparing to go north, then the Taoist troops under their command, the Iron Buddha, can also consider going north to take charge of the Xianbei army."

Su Ye smiled faintly. The Xianbei people might refuse a mere military general and commander, but what about an Iron Pagoda that came with a group of heavily armored cavalry?

Even if the Iron Buddha Taoist soldiers went to the Murong Xianbei, they would not be able to fight for the Xianbei wholeheartedly.

However, a heavy cavalry troop, even if it was just stationed in the rear, would be of great help in boosting the morale of the Xianbei men.

Moreover, Jin Wushu, the former "Red-bearded Dragon" of the Jin Dynasty who once led the Jin army south to capture the dragon, is now in his hands.

Then how could we not let him go north to the grassland to meet his “old friends” from his previous life?

Moreover, the Taoist army of "Iron Pagoda" must have missed the Jurchen Wanyan clan very much.

Su Ye felt a little sorry for not letting them reminisce about the past.
