A loud rooster sang, dispelling the darkness that shrouded the heavens and the earth, a bright light appeared in the distant sky, falling on the top of the stone mountain, in an instant, the bright light was like flowing water, from top to bottom, the mercury leaked the ground to dye the entire stone mountain white, and then a round of scorching sun jumped from the bright white place, the golden light road, sprinkled on the stone mountain. The rocks, trees, and houses were all trimmed with gold.

The rumbling war drums and loud horns came from the bottom of the mountain, waking up the Gongsun tribe on the mountain, Ah Man rushed out of the house, he barely slept last night, and he was just confused when it was dawn.

Aman's wife, Dexiang, was already standing outside, looking down the mountain with a worried face. Behind them, more and more people from the Gongsun tribe gathered behind them, looking down the mountain, the color of fear became stronger and stronger.

The Fufeng cavalry in cyan uniforms galloped out of the camp village, staggering back and forth in two single columns, their sharp sabers raised high, reflecting the sunlight and flashing dazzling light. Behind the cavalry, a column of infantry with spears and swords, also dressed in green clothes and leggings, lined up, without the slightest chaos, and in the blink of an eye, they gathered and became a phalanx of 100 people. In the gap between the phalanx, more Tsing Yi soldiers rushed between the infantry and the cavalry with a bed crossbow, the crossbow machine was raised, and the thick crossbow arrows were aimed at the mountain.

The infantry formed a formation, while the cavalry scattered to the left and the right to the two wings.

Ah Man's face was pale, his hands were trembling slightly, and behind him, there was the sound of teeth fighting.

"Patriarch, what are they doing?" Ismail pointed to the bottom of the mountain and asked.

Following his gaze, Aman saw that several Tsing Yi soldiers carried a pole to the front of the military formation, dug a pit on the spot, and set up the pole. The sun shone from behind, and the long reflection of the pole was reflected on the ground.

Ah Man turned around and walked towards the house. This pole is used by the Fufeng Army to keep time, and noon is the limit.

"Aman, we have to make a choice!" Dexiang looked at Aman and said: "They are not talking about fun, as soon as it is noon, they will inevitably attack, the geographical conditions here in Jishi Mountain are too good, if the other party chooses to take root here, they will definitely not let go of here." ”

Aman sighed. Looking at Dexiang, "I have failed the wish of the old patriarch, and the Gongsun clan will die in my hands." ”

Dexiang shook his head, "The time is also strong, now this situation on the grassland, my father is alive, and there is nothing to be done, in fact, the Gongsun clan has been in your hands for many years." This is quite a result. ”

Ah Man was dejected, he was not a nobleman of the Gongsun clan, but an outsider, after joining the Gongsun clan. Because of his bravery and good fighting, he was favored by the old patriarch, and married his only daughter, Gongsun Dexiang, to him, and later the old patriarch passed away, with the strong support of Gongsun Dexiang. As an outsider, Ah Man won the position of the patriarch of the Gongsun clan in one fell swoop, and for many years, the Gongsun clan was under his leadership. Although there has been no major development, it has also survived smoothly on the grassland of the jungle, which is indeed a remarkable achievement.

"Patriarch!" Sima Yi ran in in a panic again, in the past two days, Gongsun Yi has simply become a nasty crow, but whenever he appears in front of Aman, there will always be no good news.

"What's going on again?"

"Patriarch, the slaves who have been evacuated to the mountains are a little unstable and have begun to stir up!" Sima Yi said with some panic, the Gongsun clan has plundered or purchased no less than 2,000 slaves from the Central Plains, and among them, young and strong men account for almost half, if the bullet can't suppress them, there will be a big mess.

Ah Man and Dexiang shrugged at the same time, "How is it now?" ”

"Brother Qiang took someone to play and suppress. For the time being, it was barely suppressed, but the situation under the mountain, I am afraid that it will not be long before these slaves will riot again. ”

Dexiang stood up, "A decision must be made, Aman, if it drags on any longer, once the slaves riot, the Fufeng army under the mountain will no longer care about noon, and will inevitably take advantage of the situation to kill the mountain, at that time, we will have nothing left." Even our own lives will not be saved. ”

"Gongsun Yi, you go down the mountain again and tell the Fufeng Army, we, we have surrendered!" Ah Man sat down in a daze.

"No, I'll go!" Dexiang shook his head, "Ayi is young, if you go to the other party's camp and eat the other party, maybe something else will happen, I will talk to them in person to see if I can fight for a little more benefits for our Gongsun family to come back." ”

"No, no, you can't go, if you go, the Fufeng Army will detain you, then we won't even have the capital to negotiate." Ah Man shook his head again and again. "Just let Ayi go!"

Dexiang smiled, "At this moment, people are swords, I am fish and meat, I am a woman's family, but it is better, the Fufeng Army is always Dayan's regular army, they won't even want this face and detain me." Don't worry, Aman, you are in the mountains, you must stabilize the situation, especially the slaves, you must not let them riot, but you must not kill people, do you understand what I mean? ”

"I know!" A Man said: "You go, is it really no danger?" ”

"Is there a safe place up and down the mountain now?" Dexiang stood up, cut her hair, and said to Gongsun Yi: "Ayi, you lead the way, and I will go down the mountain to talk to the chief general of the Fufeng Army." ”

Sun Xiao didn't expect that what he was waiting for was not the patriarch of the Gongsun clan, Aman, but a female streamer, and some of the means prepared to suppress the opponent's momentum were completely useless, of course, if Aman came down, it was likely that it would only be a stubble, and there was no momentum, but Sun Xiao still let the tiger head and the horizontal knife prepare well, these two guys are full of scars, big, fierce, and they are used to scare people, which is the best.

However, in the face of a woman, using such means again, it is inevitable that there will be some inferiority, and it will not be able to do it. Of course, a woman like He Lanyan is an exception, this is a woman who is gentle on the outside but wild on the inside.

"Turned into a people, Gongsun Dexiang of the Gongsun clan, came to ask the heavenly army to surrender. There is nothing else to ask for, but to ask the general for the sake of my Gongsun tribe taking the initiative to ask for surrender, and not to hurt any one of my tribe. Gongsun Dexiang knelt down in front of Sun Xiao very meekly, bowing his head and drooping his eyelids, with a little grievance and unwillingness in his voice.

"Gongsun Dexiang?" Sun Xiao muttered in a low voice, and her eyes involuntarily looked at He Lanyan on the side, He Lanyan shook her head at him, on the grassland, there are countless small tribes like the Gongsun family, and she doesn't know the inside story of Lu Dao at all.

Gongsun Dexiang raised his head, "Ah Man is a member of my Gongsun family, although as the patriarch, he is actually only in charge of the internal affairs of the clan, and I am in charge of other matters." ”

Sun Xiao sighed, and everyone in the tent suddenly realized, it turned out that he had made a mistake, and thought that Aman was the patriarch of the Gongsun clan, and after a long time, the Gongsun Dexiang in front of him was the real family.

Looking at Gongsun Dexiang in front of him, Sun Xiao suddenly remembered Gao Yuan's long talk before he left, and the person present at that time was still the new Changshi Jiang Jiaquan in Zhengdong Mansion, Jiang Jiaquan babbled a lot, and he didn't understand it when he heard him dizzy, or General Gao said it clearly in a few words.

Dig deep holes, accumulate grain, work quietly, and don't make a noise.

To put it bluntly, Sun Xiao's army came out to find a way back for the lofty Eastern Army, and to bury an ambush, it is best not to let other forces prematurely probe their details, and bury them as deep as possible. But how to bury yourself without letting others know, and the task given to him by Gao Yuan is to have as much development power as possible, and now he plus the people who came with the team, there are only more than 2,000 people, and they are not conspicuous on the huge grassland, but once the strength is strong, it is not good to let others pay attention?

Looking at the Gongsun Dexiang in front of him, a bold idea suddenly popped up in Sun Xiao's mind, in front of him, isn't this an excellent shield?

In the blink of an eye, countless thoughts had already turned in my mind. He stood up with a big smile, walked up to Gongsun Dexiang, and held his hands weakly, "Madame, please get up, I think there is one thing, Madam is mistaken, you are not surrendering, but joining, forming an alliance with us, since it is an alliance, then we are naturally friends, since we are friends, how can we move the Gongsun family to grass and trees, let alone hurt the people of the Gongsun family?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Gongsun Dexiang looked up in amazement, looked at Sun Xiao, and didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd, and on the other side, Helan Yan and the infantry were also inexplicable, they were all staring at Sun Xiao, Sun Xiao glanced at the two of them, and the two of them were puzzled, and they could only be stuffy in their hearts at this time.

"Alliance?" Gongsun Dexiang repeated it repeatedly.

"Yes, ally!" Sun Xiao accentuated his tone and said. "Of course, many of these details still have to be discussed between the two of us, but Madame, rest assured, the personal safety and property safety of all the people in the Gongsun clan are absolutely safe, and we will definitely not touch it."

"But which slaves have been captured by your clan must be handed over to us, and no slaves are allowed in the Fufeng Army!" The infantry on one side interjected. These slaves are the natural source of soldiers in the Fufeng army, and many of the slaves in these Xiongnu tribes are proficient in horsemanship, and with a little training, they can strengthen the cavalry.

"Is what the general said true?" Gongsun Dexiang was surprised and delighted.

"Of course, this stone mountain is still your grandson's family." Sun Xiao said with a smile on his face. "Of course, we have to plan the details. If the lady wishes, then go back to the mountain and discuss with the chief of the barbarian clan, and if you all agree, we can sit down and talk about these details. (To be continued......)
