The Linghua soldiers and horses who have been fighting chaotically all year round are really elite, and under the sneak attack and ambush of others, they actually dragged the half-dead Ye He Yuxiang into Youruo City.
When these bloodied and scarred soldiers fled into the city, they first aroused a ridicule from the warriors of various tribes. Non-descendants like them have always been despised and despised by King Di, Daxiang, and this powerful Linghua and other descendant tribes, and now that the proud warriors have ended up like this, they naturally gloat.
At this time, they thought that these people had encountered horse bandits, and they could only think so, otherwise, what enemies could they have here? As a result, when the red-eyed Rada led his own soldiers to rush into Yuruo, they realized that something was wrong.
Some of the tribes that were inclined to the two factions, or tribes that belonged to the two factions respectively, immediately became nervous, and the stragglers who were roaming around returned to their garrisons to report the matter to their leaders, and the close tribes, after some urgent consultations, immediately set up camp.
The various tribes that were originally mixed together have been clearly distinguished, and the many camps of the vassal tribes of King Di occupy one corner of Youruo City, and the camps of Linghua and her vassal tribes occupy another corner, fortunately, there are a large number of very mixed neutral departments have gathered in the third place outside Youruo City, which is equal to the distance between the two sides, in order to show neutrality.
The camp that Huyi had just set up also pulled out the camp with these chaotic camps and re-selected the station. This time, he was surrounded by neutral tribes, large and small, which were even less noticeable.
The scuffle spread into the city. David of the Youruo tribe forcefully stopped the turmoil and ordered the soldiers and horses of both sides to withdraw from the city and station, and the matter came to an end.
After that, it's endless bickering.
When the Linghua tribe questioned why they attacked Ye Heyuxiang and the others, the Qingxiong tribe instead pursued Ye Heyuxiang Qiao pretending to be a horse bandit and robbing their tribe, and the Qingxiong tribe also brought many witnesses from the victim tribe.
The quarrel naturally had no result. Because Ye Heyuxiang is still injured, there is nothing he can do to defend himself.
In the days that followed, a number of tribes arrived. Accusing Reika of atrocities. Although there are also tribes affiliated with Linghua who are infested by horse bandits, but because these tribes are close to the Youruo tribe, they are less harmed, and Rada is willing to believe them. I only think this is the cunning of Reika. In order to deliberately hide his identity, he made a show of his own tribe.
Seeing that the various tribes were arguing, Yu Ruo ordered people to gallop to the king of Di, hoping that he could come to solve the matter in person. And some tribes that were originally neutral, but received reports from the clansmen, saying that the tribes that had been plundered by Ye Heyuxiang had joined the camp of the Qingxiong tribe, and the two sides were tense, and the shape was about to break out.
Yao'er saw this. I feel that if this shape continues to develop, it will cause a big scuffle between the two sides. will inevitably make their southern expedition come to naught, so they patiently stay in the neutral camp.
It's not that Yao'er didn't think of taking a risk and launching an attack on a certain camp, so as to provoke a war between the two sides, but at the moment, the tribes are better during the day, and at night they are all like facing a great enemy, and there are endless plains as far as the eye can see, especially the snowfield, no matter how dark the night is, there is a kind of white light, which makes people have nothing to hide.
As long as they moved, they would immediately attract the attention of the other tribes around them, and the two camps of Qingxiong tribe and Linghua, who were on strict guard, had already placed their patrol posts thirty miles away, and it was impossible for them to succeed in a sneak attack. If one is not done well, not only will your lone army be wiped out, but the plan to provoke will also be discovered, so it is better not to be stupid, no matter whether this matter can be resolved peacefully or not, you can plant the seeds of doubt between the two tribes.
The days passed, the southern expedition plan was delayed indefinitely, although the cattle and sheep brought by the tribes were still enough to eat, but these cattle and sheep were originally estimated to consume on the way to the southern expedition, and it must not be enough to consume it like this.
At this moment, King Di sent someone.
King Dongdi insisted on sending troops to invade the south, and he had his own considerations. In addition to building another great military achievement, he also used external military affairs to reduce internal resistance and make his position more stable. You must know that this time he sent troops, and there were not many main forces under his control, and the main forces were all men and horses from other tribes. These people are out with troops, even if their leader wants to support Qing Mo or his uncle, he has to hesitate again and again, and when he takes this opportunity to stabilize the interior, when the southern expedition is over, the dust will really settle.
Therefore, he didn't want the southern expedition plan to die, and it was impossible for him to leave the royal city at this critical moment, let alone let the great minister Qingmo come to Youruo City, he sent the old minister Xianya, who was highly respected. Estimating that the delay in this period would cause the various tribes to lack food, he also generously sent tens of thousands of cattle and sheep to the various departments free of charge to supplement the needs of the three armies.
Xianya is almost eighty years old, fair-minded, peaceful-minded, rarely participates in the various tribes, has a relatively friendly relationship with all the tribes, and has always enjoyed a high reputation among the tribes of the entire Di people.
The most important thing is that not long ago, he had just celebrated his seventy-ninth birthday, and Linghua Mo Si sent someone to congratulate him on his birthday at that time, which was none other than Ye Heyuxiang. Although the time when Ye Heyuxiang went to celebrate his birthday was not the time when the tribes were attacked by horse bandits, from a geographical point of view, after that, even if Ye Heyuxiang traveled day and night, it was too late to rush to the tribes and pretend to be horse bandits to loot goods.
Old Ah Xian rushed to Youruo from the far north, summoned the leaders of various tribes, and swore in the name of the god of the grassland, and pledged to them with the honor of his old Ah Xian's life, and confirmed to them in person that Ye He Yuxiang had gone to congratulate him on his birthday, and told them when Ye He Yuxiang left his tribe.
You must know that the first person to say that he recognized his identity was Lada, from the tribe of Lao Axian to the tribe of Lada, even if he traveled day and night, changing horses and not changing people, he couldn't arrive so quickly, and the fastest means of transportation in this era was horses.
With a bitter and hateful face, Rada couldn't deny what he saw with his eyes. But Lao Axian's prestige is too high, especially when he is eighty years old and has always been indisputable with the world. It is impossible to get involved in helping others to commit perjury, and for a while the truth is confusing, making people a little confused.
After that, King Di's envoy issued a strict order, which must be done to make a plan for the southern expedition and send troops within a limited time, if there is any objection to Ye Heyuxiang pretending to be a horse bandit. We will wait for the southern expedition to solve it.
King Di does not have to be tough at this time, and he can only be tough, if he takes action against Ye He Yuxiang. The tribal leaders who didn't quite believe in Lao Axian's assurances were bound to see this as a thief's weakness, and there would be endless troubles in the future.
When Yao'er got the news, she couldn't help but be disappointed.
On the day of Awu's abduction, there was a turmoil in Youruo City due to the scuffle between the two clans. This provided them with cover. Ah Wu, who disappeared for no reason, and Si Siyuan, the proprietress of the wine shop, had no one to pay attention to and look for them, and at this time, Yao'er and them were mixed in the enemy camp, very leisurely, and there was no danger at all.
But the purpose of her visit was to provoke disputes among the Di tribes, find out their information, and report to her border fortress in advance. Now, although he accidentally caught Ah Wu, a witness who can prove that the enemy god has ghosts, these two major events have not been completed.
The instigation of the dispute between the two ethnic groups only delayed their actions and bought time for the border army to dispatch troops and strengthen the city defenses. But this time is not enough to ensure the safety and security of the border fortress, if this old Ah Xian is a month late. Waiting for the spring season to bloom is the most important period of the year for the nomads to produce and live, and if they want to send troops at that time, they will inevitably arouse the opposition of various tribes.
Yao'er digested all the information she had gathered and thought hard about countermeasures.
At present, because of the dispute, it has been delayed for a period of time, and King Di even issued a battle order for this, once the target of action is decided, I am afraid that he will act immediately, and try to drive out the delayed period of time, in that case, even if they send the news back before the Di army, it will only send the news three to five days in advance, which can only make the defenders of the border fortress more vigilant, and the rear reinforcements are still too late to arrive.
But could there be a better way?
It seems impossible to stop the movement of such a large army, could it be that this time he took countless risks to sneak into the desert and returned in vain?
Unwilling!
I'm really unwilling!
Yao'er let out a long sigh, and glanced over to see Mu Sina sitting at the entrance of the tent, chatting with Gao Yu'er with a smile. Since following Yao'er around, Gao Yu'er's whole personality has become much more cheerful.
The Si Siyuan next to him looked at Huyi with a look of resentment, and he didn't know what good means this guy had used.
Yao'er was at a loss, except that she looked exactly like that Ye Heyuxiang, and it seemed that there was nothing to use now.
That's right, the same look! Yao'er stroked her cheek, her heart moving slightly, as if she had thought of something......

In the secluded city, there are patches of felt tents tied up in a vacant lot, which is the temporary residence of Ye He Yuxiang.
Ye Heyu Xiang came to Youruo, led 3,000 elite soldiers, and was ambushed by Rada More than 800 people died in the battle, and more than 1,500 people were seriously injured.
On the periphery of these tents were the unwounded soldiers, and on the inside were the wounded soldiers recuperating. The morale of these people was somewhat low, because some of the soldiers were destined to become disabled.
On the grassland, the concept of the weak eating the strong, the strong is respected is deep into all corners of the tribe, all levels, the disabled soldiers have no security, once disabled, they will be completely wasted, if there are brothers, uncles and nephews and other strong laborers at home, it is better, otherwise the prospects are very bad.
Therefore, once you enter the inner circle, you can feel a special sense of oppression, consciously or unconsciously, and the soldiers pass on this impression to your heart through their long sighs, sad faces, listless demeanor, and lazy and weak steps. They are the bravest fighters, they are also the most vulnerable fighters, and being brave does not equal being strong.
Ye Heyuxiang's injuries are not serious, at least not fatal, after these days of recuperation, she has moved freely. If you don't look at the thick bandage around her neck, you won't notice that she has injuries on her body.
The arrow of the sneak attack hit her and saved her. After she fell from her horse, she was barely injured, and the rain of arrows mercilessly swept the guards behind her, turning them into thorns, but she was unharmed. The arrow's razor-sharp blade cut through her white throat, but the wound had not healed and she could not speak.
But as a beauty, she has such a scar, and she is a little deeply sad.
