After reaching the most basic agreement with Wang Jian, Niu Ben did not delay in the slightest, and set off for Almaty the next day, where the Huyan tribe of the Huns, who had escaped by narrowly escaping under the pursuit of the Qin and crossed the desert, lived.

The reason why it is said that he once passed through is because he is now also a manor owner with hundreds of slaves, and is the owner of hundreds of slaves, in his own manor, he has an armed force of fifty people, these people are naturally composed of his slaves, in peacetime, these people usually help him manage the manor, if the general is called, he will take this small army of fifty people to join the army to fight.

These fifty slave soldiers are quite well-equipped, all of them are equipped with leather armor, helmets, waist knives and spears, and the squad leader is also wearing an iron armor, and they also look like they are in the army, they can be regarded as an elite, in Niu Ben's opinion, the Qin army has also applied their training methods to these slaves.

"Yu Jiang, your soldiers are not bad!" Niu Ben smiled at the young slave master beside him.

"On this land, it's not bad." Yu Jiang smiled, "When we first came to this land, although the original people in power here had a lot of money, they refused to use it to arm their soldiers, and those soldiers who fought against us were rarely in armor, and their weapons were also varied, how could they be our opponents?" Now that we are in charge, we will not follow their mistakes. ”

"It's a good point, and if you are willing to invest, you can have a big harvest." Niu Ben nodded again and again. "Yu Jiang, are you homesick?"

Yu Jiang was stunned for a while, and then he realized that the home Niu Ben said should be his hometown in the distant Great Qin, he pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't want to!" ”

"Don't you even want your relatives? It depends on your age. You should still have relatives in your hometown, right? Niu Ben looked at the young man with some surprise.

Yu Jiang's face showed some sadness that did not match his age, "General Niu, my hometown is in Yunzhong County in Daqin, there are three brothers in the family, I am the eldest one, when I came out, I was only sixteen years old, because my family really can't support it, I can't live anymore, I can only go out to be a soldier." In my memory, all I was left with my hometown was hunger, and the images of those officials and gentlemen coming to the door to force me to pay taxes. When we walked into the desert, I never thought that I would survive, and if my relatives who came to my hometown were still alive, they must have thought that I would have died a long time ago. I am now living well with the general, married a wife, gave birth to a son this year, and is living a good life. For me, my hometown is really only painful memories, and I naturally miss my relatives in my hometown, but I can't help them, if one day. When there is no more fighting, I will go back to them, take them over, and let them enjoy themselves. But now, I can't miss it, so I can only force myself not to miss it. ”

Niu Ben nodded. "Yes, one day there will be no war, and you can go back to your relatives generously."

Yu Jiang suddenly smiled bitterly: "General Niu, you will definitely go to fight Daqin soon, my two younger brothers are eighteen and sixteen this year, if there is a big battle, they will definitely be conscripted into the army, if it is possible, if you meet them, save their lives." ”

Niu Ben sighed: "Although I really want to promise you, I don't want to hide it from you, I am not a general with troops, even if I do, I can't do this." ”

Yu Jiang's face darkened, "Yes, people in troubled times are like dogs, who can save anyone, I hope they can survive." ”

"Let's talk about that black-clothed eater, I see that your general is very worried?" Niu Ben changed the subject.

"The battle didn't recruit people from the vicinity of Shule, but then I heard some from the brothers who came back." Yu Jiang had a worried look on his face, "They are very strong, and they are very powerful in war, but unfortunately our original 30,000 brothers are only a few thousand people left, otherwise they may not lose to them, but now they ......" He pointed to his own slave soldiers in the team, "They are still a lot worse, in that battle, we have a good location, there are people and people, and we still deal with some remnants of the defeated generals, but the loss is so big, I heard that the general is also very sad, and the old brothers have broken a lot." ”

"Don't worry, you will win against them, because our big man will help you." Niu Ben laughed.

"But we're enemies, aren't we?" Yu Jiang said suspiciously: "Although from the bottom of my heart, I don't hate you, speaking of which, it is because you Han defeated us and we fled here, so we have my current life, if we won the war back then, we returned to Qin, or I am still being my little soldier, it is great to be a sentry commander, with a pitiful military salary, let alone marry a wife, it would be good to feed yourself, so speaking of which, everything I have now is still thanks to you." ”

Niu Ben laughed and patted Yu Jiang's shoulder vigorously, "Brother, there is no eternal enemy, don't forget, we are all from the Central Plains, and we are all people who came out of that land, don't you think that there will be a sense of surprise when you see me here?" ”

"Don't say you really feel this way!" Yu Jiang also laughed, "I don't understand what the people here say at all, after we arrived here, the general forced them to learn our language, and all the literate people in the general were sent out to teach the people here to speak our language, stipulating that those who can't speak our words are not qualified to be officials, after two years of hard work, now there are finally some people who can say some of our words, although it sounds weird." ”

"That's it, so although we have been enemies before, we still have the same roots, speak the same words, write the same words, and when you encounter enemies outside, we will naturally help you." Niu Ben said angrily.

"Speaking of which, that's the same reason." Yu Jiang nodded, "There is a literate brother who said, what kind of wall is this called brother......

"Brothers and brothers are on the wall, and they are insulted outside!" Niu Ben added.

"Yes, that's what it means, usually brothers fight to the death, but once outsiders bully us, we have to deal with people together, that's what it means!" Yujiang Road.

"Yes, that's what it means." Niu Ben laughed, looking at the guy in front of him, he liked him a little, this is a guy who can see openly, but also has a few minds.

Sometimes the world is really strange, the defeat of the Qin State made the Qin State from prosperity to decline, sinking step by step, but specifically for those who participated in it, it is really a blessing and a curse, the big loser Wang Jian is now the king of these thousands of square kilometers of land, and the little guy in front of him, from a small soldier with nothing, has changed into a slave owner with hundreds of slaves, even by the standards of the Central Plains, he is also a rich man.

Talking and laughing all the way with this little slave owner who likes to talk, it was also very pleasant, and the originally boring journey became interesting, the only boring thing was Helanjie and his party, who had always looked bitter and hateful, and Niu Ben also understood them very well, after all, Wang Jian and his son were the great enemies who slaughtered tens of thousands of their Hun comrades.

"General Niu, there is Almaty in front, this has entered the control area of the Huyan Department, they are some barbarians, burning, killing and looting, doing everything, we have to be careful." Yu Jiang ran to Niu Ben and a group of humans, which immediately attracted the angry eyes of He Lanjie and others.

"Don't be afraid, the Huns are here with you and are your enemies, but in our Han, they are all our brothers." Niu Ben smiled and groaned, and at the same time looked at Helanjie and the others, suggesting that they suppressed their anger, but they couldn't spoil the king's major affairs because of this, Helanjie and his party were all panting, their faces were flushed, but they couldn't speak, before leaving, Helan Xiongqian told him, ten thousand instructions, everything on this trip must listen to Niu Ben, Helanjie and them, fighting is in the line, but when it comes to these affairs, they can't hope for it.

As soon as Yu Jiang's words fell, there was a terrible sound of chirping and hooves, and about a hundred cavalry cavalry rushed towards them at a gallop, hearing the familiar sound of yo shouting, Helan Jie and the others were all happy. Qi Qi turned his head and looked at Niu Ben.

Niu Ben waved his hand, "Go ahead, be careful, now they don't know if you are friend or foe." ”

With Niu Ben's permission, Helan Jie grabbed the war horse between his legs, and then galloped forward, shouting loudly on the horse.

"What are they shouting?" Yu Jiang was a little frightened, and the fifty soldiers under his command were also a little flustered, under the command of the squad leader, they were hurriedly arranging the formation, and a phalanx of fifty people was quickly formed, with spears outside, swords and shields in the center, and several archers had already taken off their bows and put arrows on the strings.

"They speak the Xiongnu language, and I don't understand it." Niu Ben smiled: "The dozen or so people who just ran over are also Huns, you have walked such a long way with them, it can be seen that they are not barbaric and do all kinds of evil, right?" ”

Yu Jiang's face turned red all of a sudden, "They are also Huns?" ”

"Yes, I told you, you and the Huns are enemies, but in our Han, the Huns are brothers with us!" Niu Ben laughed.

Ahead, the battle that Yu Jiang had a premonition did not break out, the two sides stopped at a distance of dozens of meters, and he saw the dozen or so people who came from Shule with him jumped off their horses, opened their arms, and strode towards the centaurs of the Huyan tribe.
