The Empress traveled through time and space, and she fought for supremacy in the troubled times

Chapter 252: New Chanyu Luandituo

In the territory of the Northern Barbarians.

In mid-June, even in the northern barbarians, it began to get hot.

The current Chanyu's condition is getting worse. Since yesterday, he has been lying in bed, unable to move. He can't even swallow water. He can only lie in bed and leave everything to fate.

During this period, some of his sons were traveling around various tribes to gain power for themselves.

As for the remaining sons, they were also busy choosing their camps.

Unlike the Central Plains, the position of Chanyu in the Northern Barbarians is not hereditary but elected.

After the death of the previous Chanyu, the leaders of multiple tribes would elect the next Chanyu from among the candidates.

And Luandituo, who had previously traded with Yunzhi, was one of the six candidates.

At this moment, Luandituo was staying in his tent, calculating how many tribal leaders had agreed to choose him when the time came.

At this time, the curtain of the tent was lifted and then lowered.

Luandituo looked up and saw his half-brother Luandihu walking in.

"Well, has Hu Yan agreed?"

Luan Dihu walked in with a happy face, "My king, don't you see who is coming? Their leader has already promised to choose you when the time comes."

Hearing this, Luandituo smiled and said, "Tell me in detail."

Luan Dihu walked to the side and sat down, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.

"Huyan said that if you agree to give your tribe 10,000 cattle and sheep and the land west of our lake after the matter is accomplished, he will fully support you."

Luandituo frowned slightly, "No wonder he agreed so quickly, he really has a big appetite."

"There's nothing we can do. If we give less, Tuoba Hong will win him over. Fortunately, our tribe is large, so we can afford this. At worst, we can wait until my brother becomes Chanyu..."

A fierce look flashed in Luan Dihu's eyes, "Go to the Central Plains and get it back!"

"I heard that the emperor who now unifies the world is a woman. They are really not even able to defeat a woman. But it is also a good thing for us. When their foundation is not stable, our cavalry will be able to march straight into Huanglong and strike directly. Then we can also show my brother's reputation and let those tribes know that choosing me is their wisest choice."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luan Dihu burst into laughter.

As for Luandituo, a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He agreed with what his younger brother said.

Anyway, they have almost used up all the things they looted before, and it is time to let the newly established dynasty in the Central Plains know how powerful they are.

"Don't underestimate the enemy. Although the emperor of the Central Plains is a woman, she must have some extraordinary qualities to be able to unify the world."

Having said that, there was the same contempt in his eyes as in Luan Dihu's.

"My brother is too cautious. That woman is just lucky." Luan Dihu muttered.

When he saw the look in his brother's eyes, he knew that what his brother had just said was a humble word spoken by people in the Central Plains.

"By the way, my prince, now that the Huyan clan has chosen to support us, your position as Chanyu is almost certain."

Luandituo nodded confidently, "If nothing unexpected happens, that's it."

Now, in addition to the support of the Huyan clan, they also have the support of other large tribes such as the Dayan clan, Yuwen, Wuhuan, and Qiulin.

Especially with the later joining of the Huyan clan, Luandituo was able to be sure that he would be the next Chanyu.

Now, they just had to wait for their father to pass away.

"How is Father doing now?"

Luan Dihu was stunned by this question. "I don't know either. I've been traveling every day recently. Anyway, I went to check on him half a month ago, and he looked like he was lying in bed and couldn't get up. How about calling a Hu slave over to ask him now?"

"Forget it, I can still wait for a few days."

On the second night, Mandun Chanyu died of illness.

After the funeral of the Chanyu was completed, the election for the next Chanyu began.

There are many tribes in the Northern Barbarians. There are more than a dozen large tribes alone, and hundreds of small tribes.

At this moment, a group of people gathered together and began to elect a Chanyu.

Luan Dituo stood in the crowd, looking calm, while Luan Dihu beside him looked excited.

Although he already knew the ending, Luan Dihu couldn't let go until the last moment.

The leaders of various tribes were whispering to each other and discussing.

Amidst the discussion, a highly respected elder leader stood up and said loudly, "Everyone, today we are here to elect a new Chanyu. I hope you will uphold justice and choose a leader for our Northern Barbarians who can lead us to prosperity."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

When the election began, a leader took the lead and said, "I think Tuoba Hong is brave and good at fighting, and he can be the Chanyu."

"I don't agree. I think Yuchi Mu is brave and resourceful and worthy of this task," said another leader.

"I support Luantituo. He has great talent and strategy, and will surely lead us to prosperity. He is the perfect choice for the Chanyu."

"We also support Luandituo."

For a time, voices supporting different candidates rose and fell.

After each leader said who he supported, the old leader stood up again after the statistics were completed.

"After careful consideration by everyone, the new Chanyu is—Luandi Tuo!"

The crowd suddenly erupted in cheers, and Luan Dihu even jumped up excitedly.

Next, the new Chanyu said some polite words, and the Chanyu election came to a successful conclusion.

On the third day after becoming the Chanyu, Luandituo gathered his troops and prepared to march south to attack the Central Plains.

The general reason for choosing a Chanyu is to hope that he can lead the northern barbarians to prosperity.

Therefore, most of the new Chanyu would choose to attack the Central Plains as soon as possible to demonstrate their abilities.

He stood on the high platform, his gaze fixed towards the south, and shouted, "Warriors, the Central Plains is immensely rich. Now that we have a strong army and powerful horses, we must conquer it in one fell swoop, and let the glory of our northern barbarians shine across the land!"

The soldiers below the stage shouted in unison, their morale high.

"set off!"

The Northern Barbarians had a large number of horses, and almost every soldier had a warhorse.

Luandituo arrived at the border with his cavalry in a mighty force.

Looking at the city ahead, he waved his hand and said, "Charge!"

As a result, when they were halfway through the charge, several thunder bombs fell from the sky.

"Boom boom boom"

Several loud noises were heard in my ears, followed by wailing and cursing.

"Fuck, what the hell is this?"
