CHAPTER XV

When Zhi Yanchong and the others rushed straight into the Wugu tent, before Muria could leave, Aru let out a loud shout, raised the mace forged by Zhang Laoyu for him, and beat him to the ground.

After this chaos, the Wugu tribe suffered heavy casualties and suffered great losses. Before everyone could find Xiao Ang, they heard the sound of horses' hooves in the west, and Zhiyan rushed: "Tarai has returned!" ”

Cao Guangbi said: "We have few people, we can't win!" Let's withdraw first! To the south! ”

Ouyang Shi said: "Ying Qi is going east, why do we want to go south?" ”

Cao Guangbi said: "Ying Qi's gang has too many wounded, and they can't escape quickly. If we catch up with them, and then we are caught up by the Tatars, then we will all die together! We're going south to lure them away! ”

Ouyang Shi said: "But there are too few people under the Yang family brothers, if they are discovered, even if Tatar Laigan only sends a small number of troops over, they are in danger of being destroyed!" ”

Hebul shouted: "Don't fight! You go east, I go west! ”

Orihiko rushed: "Then how can it be done!" ”

Hebul said: "Don't worry! The Ugu people can't stop me! I'll lure them away! You first hide in the Great Xianbei Mountain to recuperate! When the injury is healed, come to the River of Trouble to find me! ”

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, Zhi Yan said: "Everyone is a good man, I won't say anything more!" Take care! ”

Hebul said: "Take care! The next time we meet, we'll officially say goodbye! ”

But they didn't know that when they met again, it would be difficult to be brothers.

Zheyan rushed to the east with the cattle that had been looted from Wugu and fought with Yang Yingqi. The killing sound in the west was loud, Zheyan Chong frequently looked east, and Xiao Tienu said: "Don't worry, what kind of thing is Tartar!" Can't get trapped. ”

Orihiko said: "That's right! ”

At this time, it was already spring in the south, but it was still cold in the north, but the ice and snow in Daxianbei Mountain gradually opened, and Di Yu pointed everyone into the mountains and forests to find a valley to hide. The Great Xianbei Mountain is rich in products, and the conditions are much better than that lifeless plague valley. They have both iron and fire, and it is not difficult for them to settle down.

Cao Guangbi led more than 30 people to gallop out in several directions, with a bunley post in the west to prevent the Wugu tribe and the Khitans from attacking, and a road to explore in the east.

Aruban led more than 30 people to shoot and hunt and replenish food.

Yang Yingqi and others presided over the resettlement and recuperation respectively. Most of the injured are recovering, but seven are still seriously injured due to lack of medical care. The people buried their fallen companions and secretly prayed: they must avenge them!

After this catastrophe, there were only 361 people left in this group, and 18 of them were horse thieves who had joined Xiao Tienu as a newcomer. Compared to the number of people who were driven into the Valley of the Plague in the first place, there are less than 20% left! However, the people have endured many hardships, but they have become stronger and stronger!

Half a month later, the number of people who could move was close to 300. Orihiko Chong redeployed it and divided it into two divisions: soldiers and civilians.

The military department is a group of five, and the one with the highest overall ability among the five is the leader - this person is not only the leader, but also the teacher of the other four. The two groups are one team, and the leaders of the two groups are the leaders and vice captains respectively. A team of 10 people. Zhi Yanchong and others selected only 160 people, a total of 16 squads. Each man was equipped with two or three horses.

The organization of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is similar, but the number of squads is not so strict, and they are mainly in charge of forging, clothing, horse feeding and other affairs. The civil department is not as elite as the military department, but it also has to participate in training in peacetime, and in case of critical situations, everyone can go to war.

Twenty-three of the more than 300 women were killed in the Urgu Plague, and because they were all women of the northern kingdom who had survived the plague, none of them were weak, but because of their "rough hands" they also avoided being insulted by Xiao Ang and others.

After a month of recuperation in this valley, traces of the Ugu people began to be found in the west. Zhi Yan said: "It seems that these Wugu people are still not dead!" Shall we send a team to harass them! ”

Yang Yingqi objected: "It's not a hurry to take revenge, besides, if we expose our secrets, it won't be good to provoke them to fight back even more." "Now we moved to another valley.

Orihiko said: "It's not a way to hide in the deep mountains and old forests like this. We are not wild people in the mountains, we have to go to the mountains after all. ”

Di Yu said: "To the west, you must cross the two tribes of Ugu and Enemy Lie to reach the territory of the Mongol department. It's just that the Liao State has a Wugu enemy martyr army commander, and we provoked the son of the Khitan Lanling King this time, and burned the hometown of Tatar Laigan, this basket is a bit big, I'm afraid that the Khitan and the Wugu people will be difficult to tolerate us. To the east, it was the world of the Jurchens. ”

Yang Kaiyuan said: "Aru Man is also a Jurchen, right?" Can you get us to get a foothold there through him? ”

Aru said, "No. Those are all born Jurchens, our Hosu Pavilion is a mature Jurchen, according to the law of the Great Liao Kingdom, we and the raw girls are really not allowed to interact privately, so there is very little contact. ”

Yang Yingqi groaned: "The northeast is very big, and there are not many of us, as long as there is a small area, it is enough for us to live." The customs of the Jurchens are between hunting and colonization, and it seems that they are closer to our habits than the Mongols. ”

Di Yu said: "You know a lot. ”

Yang Yingqi smiled and said, "I just heard about it, so I'm not very sure." However, in the current situation, it is very unrealistic to force ourselves through the Ugu Division, which is hostile to us. ”

Ouyang Shi said: "We have traveled thousands of miles north, and we haven't come here the same!" ”

"How is that the same!" Yang Yingqi said: "Before we defeated Xiao Ang, all aspects didn't take us very seriously, and it was because they didn't pay attention to it that we were able to get rid of it." Now that the situation has changed dramatically, and there are spies constantly approaching our hiding place in Ugu, it seems that they have not given up pursuing us - and it is very likely that the Khitans are still chasing us. Therefore, it is impossible for us to travel thousands of miles like before and after leaving the Great Wall. ”

Zhi Yanchong asked Xiao Tienu, "What do you think?" ”

Xiao Tienu said: "As long as there are horses, arrows, and knives, I can live wherever I go!" ”

Zhi Yan clapped his hands and said, "Well said! So be it, continue east. However, before leaving the Great Xianbei Mountain, we must fight our swords well and fatten the horses! ”

Along the way, Zhang Laoyu has already brought out several high-level disciples - these craftsmen originally had a good foundation, and now they have obtained the Master, and their forging skills have advanced to a higher level. Yang Yingqi attaches great importance to forging, and specially allocated twenty-five people to specialize in this business. If you encounter busy or special things, you will mobilize the manpower of other departments and groups to fully support.

On this day, Zhang Laoyu went out to look for coal and iron, and inadvertently found a small gold mine. Zhang Laoyu said with a smile: "If this gold mine is placed in the Central Plains or Nanjing, it will be very eye-catching!" But what's the use of being born here! ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Otherwise! There will be a time when we will go out, and these things will be of great use to us in the future! "After being busy for more than half a month, they finished mining the gold mines they could mine and smelted them into gold nuggets, a total of about 1,000 catties, and allocated a small part to distribute them, and the rest was used as military funds.

On this day, it was already early summer, and Zhi Yanchong was already impatient with loneliness, and after meeting with a few leaders, he gathered everyone and announced the news of going out of the mountain, and everyone was overjoyed when he heard it.

Zhi Yanchong stood on a high place and said loudly: "Brothers, sisters! These thousands of miles have come, although there have been many tribulations! But a few of our leaders still dare to say without shame: we will never leave everyone! ”

Hundreds of people shouted in unison: "Don't leave, never give up!" Don't give up! ”

Orihiko Chong said loudly: "Before I go out of the mountain, I make an oath with you!" From now on, several of our leaders will, as always, never abandon you! If I forsake you, then you will forsake me.

"No matter when, no matter where I go, I want to lead you to build a kingdom where no one is without clothes, and all are together; Don't suffer from low food, everyone eats together! Meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and faults will be punished! When you are young, give you the opportunity to use your strength to fight for more wealth and higher status. When you get old, we will take care of you together! Your children, let's train and educate together. Let them know martial arts and not have to be bullied by barbarian people. Let them be literate and literate without being deceived by cunning people!

"If we are too small to build a kingdom, then we can attach ourselves to a nation, but we need them to guarantee that our tribe will have what we have earned!

"We don't need someone else's gift, we will fight for it ourselves! But we will never allow what we have won to be plundered by others!

"Anyone who wants to join us, we welcome it, whether he is Han, Khitan, Jurchen, Mongol, or Goryeo! But who is going to conquer us, I'm sorry! We don't want to be slaves!

"Brothers, sisters, if you are willing to pursue such a kingdom with me, raise your fists!"

Hundreds of fists were raised together.

Orihiko Chong said loudly: "From now on, we will give ourselves a name!" We are no longer simple Song people! Because in our ranks, there are Jurchen brothers! There are Mongol brothers! What are we? We are the Han people wandering outside the Great Wall, and we are the border soldiers who do not want to be slaves! ”
