Chapter 652 Heading south to Taiping Pass for reinforcements?
"Originally, the Xianbei tribe allied with Shi Le, Fu Jian, and even Yuwen Yong, these powerful rulers of the grasslands, to jointly resist the three major alliances. This strategy was not bad, but... alas."
He paused slightly, then continued, finally letting out a sigh.
"Brother, how easy is it to unite the other tribes on the grasslands? The tribes on the grasslands have complicated grudges and entanglements, and it is as difficult as climbing to the sky to unite them."
Upon hearing this, Murong Chui and Murong Ke exchanged a glance, a hint of bitterness flashing in their eyes. Murong Chui shook his head.
"Yes, brother, some of these tribes have deep-seated blood feuds; how could they easily unite?"
Murong Ke echoed this sentiment.
"Second brother, third brother, you are right. Uniting with other tribes is indeed a difficult path, but it is not impossible."
Upon hearing this, Murong Jun remained silent for a moment. He was well aware of this principle, but the current situation left them no room for further hesitation.
"Moreover, I have another plan."
He paused slightly, then turned to look at the southern part of the grassland, a thoughtful look in his eyes, and slowly spoke.
"Brother, what's the plan?"
Upon hearing this, Murong Chui and Murong Ke perked up and quickly asked.
"We, the Xianbei, can no longer fight alone. We must find allies. Other tribes on the grasslands won't do, but we don't only have the tribes on the grasslands as our choice... other forces will do too!"
"For example... Cangzhou, behind Taiping Pass in the south, is our best choice."
Murong Jun's gaze was firm as he spoke slowly.
"Cangzhou?"
Murong Chui and Murong Ke looked puzzled upon hearing this.
"That's right. I plan to try to unite with other tribes on the one hand, and on the other hand, mobilize the main force of our Xianbei tribe to march south to Taiping Pass, north of Cangzhou."
Murong Jun smiled slightly, his expression carrying a hint of confidence.
"What?"
"Brother, have you gone mad? How could our Xianbei tribe, acting alone, possibly capture Taiping Pass?"
"Moreover, our Xianbei people no longer have any spare men to make pointless sacrifices at Taiping Pass."
Murong Chui and Murong Ke were shocked upon hearing this.
"Second brother, third brother, you've misunderstood. I don't want us to attack Taiping Pass."
Murong Jun glanced at the two of them, smiled slightly, and waved his hand.
"So, what does Big Brother mean...?"
Murong Ke asked in confusion.
"Cangzhou is located in the south of the grasslands, rich in resources and with a strong and well-equipped army."
"Therefore, I am going to Cangzhou, which is behind Taiping Pass, to ask for food and even weapons."
Murong Jun's gaze was deep as he spoke slowly.
"Need food? Need weapons?"
"We have no dealings with Cangzhou, so why would they agree to provide us with these things?"
Murong Chui and Murong Ke hesitated for a moment, their faces full of confusion.
"Second brother, third brother, you may not know this, but although Cangzhou has no direct relationship with us, their interests are aligned with ours."
"The three major alliances are growing stronger on the grasslands, which is a huge threat to Cangzhou. They will certainly not sit idly by."
"Therefore, Cangzhou will definitely provide us with food, because Cangzhou will not allow the three major alliances to continue to grow stronger and sit idly by while our Xianbei people are swallowed up by the three major alliances."
"They will definitely try to interfere, but now that we Xianbei have delivered ourselves to their doorstep, they will certainly provide us with food and weapons, supporting us in resisting the three major alliances, in order to indirectly weaken them."

Murong Jun, however, spoke with great confidence.
"Brother, even if Cangzhou is willing to cooperate with us, will they provide us with enough food and weapons?"
"After all, these are their own resources."
However, Murong Ke still spoke with some concern.
"Third brother, don't worry, Cangzhou will definitely provide us with enough food and weapons, because they know that only when we are strong can we become their powerful ally in the fight against the three major alliances."
"Moreover, they will not be stingy with these resources. Cangzhou is rich in resources. For them, these resources are only a temporary investment, but the reward will be long-lasting peace and tranquility."
Upon hearing this, Murong Jun thought for a moment and still felt that heading south was a way out, even if it meant taking a chance.
Given the current situation on the grasslands, Cangzhou will definitely provide support. As for the final amount of support, that will depend on their respective methods.
He believed that once they received support from Cangzhou, the Xianbei people would be able to demonstrate their ability to contend with the three major alliances.
Therefore, further support is not impossible.
Upon hearing this, Murong Chui and Murong Ke exchanged a glance, a hint of understanding flashing in their eyes.
After a moment's thought, the two of them realized that... Murong Jun's plan did indeed have some feasibility.
"But, brother..."
"This is, after all, a risky plan. If we go to Cangzhou for help, and Cangzhou refuses to assist us, wouldn't we be walking into a trap?"
Murong Chui, standing to the side, still hesitated.
"Second brother, there is no such thing as absolute safety in this world."
Upon hearing this, Murong Jun spoke with a firm expression.
"Big brother is right. Rather than sitting here and waiting to die, we might as well take a gamble."
"Perhaps this really is a turning point for our Xianbei people."
Murong Ke thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Upon seeing this, Murong Jun felt relieved, knowing that his two younger brothers had almost agreed to the plan.
Next, the entire clan was mobilized to prepare for their southward journey.
As for the idea of being reluctant to leave one's homeland, that's something only people from the Central Plains would consider; it doesn't really concern them.
These nomadic peoples were naturally adrift, so there wasn't much resistance to a full-scale southward migration of the entire tribe.
After making the decision, none of them were procrastinators. Murong Jun quickly began mobilizing the main force of the Xianbei tribe, preparing for a full-scale southward march beyond Taiping Pass.
He also sent envoys to the camps of steppe warlords such as Shi Le, Fu Jian, and Yuwen Yong to seek their support and cooperation.
At the same time, the three major alliances are not a monolithic entity.
Although they outwardly formed a united front to suppress Shi Le, Fu Jian, Murong Jun, and others, they were secretly vying for power and scheming against each other.
After all, in this chaotic world, who wouldn't want to become the overlord of the grasslands?
Although Wanyan Aguda and Nurhaci joined forces to fight against foreign enemies, they had significant differences in their plans for the future of the grasslands.
Wanyan Aguda advocated unifying the grasslands through ruthless means and establishing a powerful Jurchen empire, while Nurhaci preferred to consolidate the Manchu's status and influence through marriage and alliances.
Although this disagreement has not yet erupted into open conflict, it is subtly influencing the decisions and actions of the two tribes.
