Today's prairie is now a mess, the Huns Wang Tingye Mang and his family were chased by the Qin army and were killed cleanly, and most of the original in the previous war, because it was the target of the Qin army's key attack, it was also a heavy loss, and the entire Xiongnu tribe no longer had a tribe that could subdue everyone and call on the heroes or respected figures.

The chaos from the grassland of life, really entered the era of the jungle, a little still retained some strength of the tribe began to unscrupulous annexation, but if the slightest disobedience, it was immediately a knife and gun. And robbing each other is even more commonplace, in this chaotic time, being able to have more horses, food, and weapons is not the foundation of life.

He Lanxiong's inspiration saved his team, so that in the process of returning, whether it was the storage of war horses or the accumulation of food, they were safe, but this also made them the target of public criticism.

After the defeat, these Hun troops lost their horses, lost their food reserves, and these guys who were very hungry had no reason to calculate, if the number of troops exceeded Helanxiong, it would naturally be unceremoniously rushing up, wanting to grab a handful, even those tribes whose strength was far inferior to Helanxiong's current strength were also trying to devise all possible ways to yin him, so as to be able to take Helanxiong's materials as their own.

In the past month, Helanxiong has walked with great difficulty, and it is even harder than the previous battle. In the past, you always knew where the enemy was, how many there were, at least you had a guard in your heart, but now, the enemy is everywhere, maybe walking not far from you, a chaotic-looking deserter, the next moment will instigate a war horse, brand a war knife, and pounce on himself.

Hungry people can do anything.

Along the way, Helanxiong has defeated several brigades of men and horses who covet themselves, most of these armies still have more than 1,000 horsemen left, looking at Helanxiong's small number of people, he wants to have a big fish to eat small fish, but he doesn't want to hit his head on the iron plate, although Helanxiong only has more than 500 people, but their combat effectiveness is obviously not comparable to these tribal armies that have been beaten up.

What made Helanxiong even more troublesome was not these open robberies and hard grabbing, but the ubiquitous sneak attacks, defeating countless enemies along the way, but his own losses were gradually increasing, and now, there are only more than 300 people left at hand. Fortunately, here, it's already very close to home.

Wiped the blood stains on the scimitar on the robe of the enemy who fell in front of him, Helan Xiong returned the knife into the sheath with a calm face, and stood silently watching his subordinates clean up the battlefield, the mounts that lost their masters were pulled together, and the weapons that were not damaged were thrown on the carriage one by one, and the feather arrows that shot out from the enemy were removed, and after the blood stains were wiped away, and then collected, they were not those countries in the Central Plains, the family had a big business, and they didn't care about these losses, every feather arrow was precious to them.

Helan Rui wiped the blood on his face while striding towards Helan Xiong, just in this battle, they defeated a tribal army about the same number as them, the tribe that wanted to rob them has now disappeared, horses, weapons, all belong to Helan Ministry, and it can barely offset their losses.

"Patriarch, it's all right!" Throwing a bloodstained placket on the ground in his hand, He Lanrui looked at He Lanxiong in silence and said.

"How many fewer of us are?" There was no joy on Helan Xiong's face, although along the way, they were invincible, but every time he fought, he would lose a lot of soldiers.

"More than fifty dead, and more than 100 wounded, but it's not a big deal." Helan Rui said, "The Titila tribe didn't open their eyes, they dared to provoke us, their patriarch and the generals of the clan were killed by us, and the rest of them also fled in all directions, and this tribe was removed."

He Lanxiong smiled bitterly, "They are removed, and we are no better. Rui, what do you think of the current situation?"

"What's going on now?" He Lanrui looked at He Lanxiong in some surprise, "Patriarch, we are not far from home, and when we get home, we will be safe."

"Is it safe to go home?" He Lanxiong raised his head and looked in the direction of home, but the wry smile on the corner of his mouth was a little thicker. I'm afraid that from now on, there will be no peace on the grassland."

He Lanrui opened his mouth, but when he thought about the chaos that came back all the way, he knew that He Lanxiong was right. In the past, there was no shortage of attacks between tribes, but how could it be like now, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, and start fighting when they meet? Even if you return to the pastures of Helan Ministry, I am afraid that there will be no peace in the future.

"This time we fell for the evil of the Qin people, why did the Qin people want to die with the royal court, and they kept annihilating the royal court before stopping? They just want to leave our grassland ownerless!" Helanxiong sat depressedly on the bloodstained grass. From now on, I will be a fish and a man, and the Huns will only be afraid that there will be no day to turn over."

"Patriarch, you don't have to be so pessimistic, although we lost this battle, but the real battle died on the battlefield is only forty or fifty thousand people, as long as everyone works together, all the Huns are assembled, and then it is not difficult to gather a hundred thousand horsemen, who wins and who loses?" Helan Rui comforted.

"All together?" He Lanxiong read a sentence in his mouth, "This is the problem, how to work together, our king is dead, his branch has been slaughtered, the royal court family no longer exists, who will serve whom?" They all want to take the royal court and replace it, and they all want to become the masters of this grassland, and in the future, they are only afraid that they will continue to kill each other, and with the methods of those Qin people, how can they stop here, they will definitely use all their means to make our Huns no longer united, and they will not tolerate the emergence of another Hun king."

"Their intentions are so sinister?" Helan Rui's mouth opened wide.

"When it comes to playing with the eyes of the heart and making tricks, we can't catch up with these Central Plains people." Helanxiong lowered his head sullenly, "Looking at the chaos on this road, I understand that their goal has been achieved."

"Patriarch, what should we do?" Helan Rui said in horror, although the Helan Department has developed rapidly in the past two years, it is only less than a thousand cavalry warriors, three or four thousand tent people, this time the big defeat, and the loss of a lot of people, put all the family together, it will not exceed five hundred horses, although those big tribes have suffered heavy losses, but any family, it is still easy to get together one or two thousand horses, a small tribe like Helan Tribe, it is really a mermaid.

It is conceivable that next, on the grassland, there will inevitably be a wave of mergers, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, reshuffle.

He Lanxiong shook his head, "I don't know either. You can only take one step at a time."

"Patriarch, others can expand, can't we? Maybe this is the opportunity for our Helan Department to rise." Helan Rui's eyes suddenly lit up.

"The rafters that come out rot first!" He Lanxiong smiled bitterly, "Looking at the Qin people's style, I am afraid that if one of our Huns stands out, it will become their target, not only them, even the Zhao State and the Yan State, will not take this opportunity to take advantage of the fire to rob and defeat us in one fell swoop.

Helan Rui's color changed suddenly, "Patriarch, do you mean that Zhao Guo and Yan Guo will also do something to us?"

"Zhao Guodaijun suffered a big loss this time, and now that we are defeated, how can they not come out to take revenge, and Yan Guo will naturally not let go of this opportunity." Helan Xiongdao.

"I don't dare to say Zhao Guo, but Yan Guo's side, aren't we on good terms with County Lieutenant Gao?"

"I'm not worried about Gao Yuan, we are close to his territory, it is estimated that there will be no accidents, the enemies of Liaoxi County are mainly Donghu people, and they will not embarrass us, but Hejian County will definitely take the opportunity to send troops to sweep up." Helan Xiongdao." In this way, we Huns are afraid that we will not be able to recover for decades."

Looking at He Lanxiong, who was in an extremely depressed mood, He Lanrui didn't know what to say, the defeat of this battle was almost doomed to the day when the Hun tribe would never turn over.

"Anyway, we finally came back alive, and we didn't lose much." He Lanrui said in a low voice: "Patriarch, let's go home first, and after we go home, let's make plans for the future."

"yes, go home first, go home!" He Lanxiong stood up.

Almost at the moment when he stood up, the sound of the warning horn suddenly sounded, He Lanxiong and He Lanrui's faces changed greatly, they looked far away, the dust covered the sky, and a group of cavalry suddenly appeared from a distance.

"Prepare for battle!" Helan Xiong choked and pulled out his scimitar, now in the grassland, when the two tribes meet, there is almost no friendship at all, some are just fighting and looting.

More than 300 exhausted Helan cavalry turned over their horses and pulled out their scimitars, either you die or I live, if you don't want to be killed, you can only fight.

The cavalry in the distance was getting closer and closer, but He Lanxiong's eyes were getting bigger and bigger, and he was the first to ride on the opposite side, the red cloak fluttered in the wind, and countless small braids on his head flew in the air, and the figure was so familiar.

"It's a swallow!" He cried out, "How did he get here?" Helan Xiong shouted, grabbed his horse, rushed forward, and met him.

The cavalry in the distance was getting closer and closer at this time, and everyone could see it clearly, the front war horse was not who He Lanyan was, and behind him, there were hundreds of cavalry.

Reinforcements actually arrived at this time, and more than 300 tired soldiers broke out into cheers almost at the same time.

"Big brother!" Helan Yan slammed his horse, looked at Helan Xiong, who had stopped almost at the same time, and shouted happily.

"Swallow, why are you here?" He Lanxiong looked at He Lanyan opposite in disbelief, "Is everything okay at home?"

"Good, all good!" He Lanyan's eyes were filled with tears, "Big brother, we heard the news of the defeat of the clan, and there are many, many bad news, many people say that you can't come back, I don't believe it, I brought the soldiers from my family out to look for you, I believe you will definitely come back."

"Of course I'll be back!" He Lanxiong nodded heavily, but his eyes looked at the person behind He Lanyan, "Who is this?"

"Big brother, his name is Bai Yucheng, and he is Gao Yuan's friend." (To be continued......)
