Chapter XXV

For Duan Chong's extremely bold idea, Xiao Zhengrong was shocked when he heard it. Not to mention that the two thousand Northern Liang soldiers behind him have not fought with him at all, it can be said that the general does not know the soldiers, and the soldiers do not recognize the master, which is a major taboo in marching and fighting. And in this vast prairie, if there is no professional guide, it is very easy to get lost in it, and in a few days, you may not even find a Hun settlement, let alone fight to feed the war, it is very good not to starve to death on the grassland. Xiao Zhengrong glanced at Duan Chong: "Senior brother, don't be too idealistic. I don't think you've been here on this steppe, so you don't know much about some of the conditions, and if you don't have a special guide, it's really hard to catch the traces of the Huns. This Huns nomadic for a living, their whereabouts are difficult to determine, and each of them is brave and aggressive, even women and children also have the power of three points of game, if it is not for the carpet crushing with a large army, with our two thousand people alone, I am afraid that there will be more than one luck. ”

Duan Zhong smiled and shook his head, "Have you noticed that one of the most critical people escaped from yesterday's battle?" ”

Xiao Zhengrong was stunned: "You mean...... The bone marquis of the Huns? ”

Duan nodded his head: "Not bad! ”

Xiao Zhengrong pondered for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he had figured out something extremely crucial, and finally nodded, his eyes drifted to the depths of the prairie, and then clenched his fists tightly.

Su Bujie now looks extremely embarrassed, and the results that were originally full of returns have suddenly turned into the end of losing soldiers and losing their generals, losing their armor and fleeing. The 3,000 soldiers who were brought out followed him to get back less than 200, and this battle was really a mess. However, Xu Bujie never understood how the army of the Northern Liang could react so quickly, even if he chose such a hidden route, he was still discovered. And the other party's situation is completely waiting for the rabbit and waiting for the battle, what a fucking ...... Scary.

And in order to return to the prairie, he also needs to bypass Shuofang County, walk in a big circle, and then detour into the grassland, which comes and goes, and wastes countless time, and he is afraid of any more pursuers along the way. The annihilation of the whole army of 3,000 soldiers made Su Bujie's hope of climbing up all come to naught, these 3,000 soldiers, in their own tribes, are all good at herding sheep and nomads on weekdays, and most of the young men of several tribes, this time there are so many people missing, their own tribes will inevitably decline, according to this momentum, their several tribes are likely to be annexed by other tribes, even if the position of Guduhou is not necessarily able to sit still. The law of survival followed by the Huns.

So when he thought of this, Su Bujie was suddenly a little disheartened, and his intestines were already repentant for this stupid action. But fortunately, he still left a life, he still has two thousand warriors, if he recuperates, there is still the possibility of revival after a few years, and he never gives up hope, which is also one of the survival rules of the grassland.

So with hope and disappointment, Su Bujie led the remnants of a hundred soldiers back to his tribe. The soldiers of the Huns, if they are defeated, they are defeated, and there is no need to hide them. So for his failure, Su Bujie did not shy away from saying it. The people of the tribe did not show their condemnation of their own leader for such a defeat, but on the contrary, they pointed the finger at Beiliang with great unity. The Xiongnu were a very aggressive people, and when the war was lost, all the hatred would be transferred directly to the enemy.

Su Bujie returned to his tent, and in the past few days he had exhausted all his energy by running for his life, eating a large roast leg of lamb and drinking a large pot of mare's milk wine, but he did not even wipe his mouth, and lay down in the tent and fell asleep, snoring thunderously. In Su Bujie is serious, now that he has returned home at this moment, he no longer has to worry about safety, this is his own home, and the people of Beiliang dare not enter the prairie, how can it be dangerous. However, outside Su Bujie's tent, a black shadow lurked quietly, until he heard the deep snoring in the tent and thought about it, then he moved, and a black shadow in his arms rose into the air and disappeared silently into the dark night.

"Boom", "Boom", ...... The sound of horses' hooves roared and remembered, Gudu Hou Xu Bujie felt the earth tremble in his sleep, but the tiredness of the past two days made him a little confused, turned over on the bed, pursed his mouth again, and muttered a sentence in his mouth, "What is the noise", and he wanted to turn over and continue to sleep. However, in addition to the "rumbling" of horses' hooves outside, there were countless shouts of killing, which were deafening, followed by countless wails and screams. This time, Guduhou couldn't sleep even if he wanted to.

Suddenly turned over and got up, and was about to go out of the tent to investigate, but he saw one of his own soldiers stumbling in, and said with a pale face: "General...... General, a native of Northern Liang...... Here it comes! ”

"What!" Su Bujie's face changed suddenly, the people from Beiliang are here? Since the founding of the Northern Liang for more than ten years, only the Huns have entered the hinterland of the Northern Liang in depth, and the Northern Liang people have never stepped on the grassland. However, Su Bujie didn't have time to think about it, and saw the soldiers who came in to report the news snorted and fell to the ground with a "poof". Su Bujie's face changed drastically, and before he could figure out what was going on, he felt a black shadow flash behind him, and an extremely cold dagger rested on his neck. It's a terrible thing because I don't see each other at all.

The same warm voice came from behind: "If you don't want to die, don't move!" ”

Su Bujie naturally didn't move, because he knew that the shadow behind him could kill him in countless ways in an instant, and since the other party had spoken, it meant that the other party didn't want to kill him for the time being. Su Bujie is a man on the grassland, although he is not afraid of death, but he will not send him to death senselessly. So Su Bujie tried his best to calm his mind and said in a trembling voice: "You guys...... What do you want to do? ”

The still cold voice said: "Someone will naturally come to tell you in a while, as for how to choose, it is up to you." ”

Duan Zhong touched his nose and watched as the two thousand soldiers rushed into the camp of the Huns like heavenly gods, and in an instant, a fire raged on the grassland, burning the entire sky. It was destined to be an unquiet night, filled with shouts of killing, screams, and the wails of cattle and sheep.

Since this journey, Jiang Mingchen has been lurking behind Su Bujie, and at the same time, the two falcons raised by Xiao Zhengrong have played a vital role, otherwise, how could these two thousand cavalry find Su Bujie's camp in the vast prairie?

Before this attack, Duan Zhong had already issued an order that women and children should not be killed, those who surrendered would not be killed, and those who violated it would be beheaded. The soldiers on the border of the Northern Liang have been harassed by the cavalry of the Xiongnu for many years, and they have long held back countless grievances in their hearts.

Although there are still 2,000 warriors in this tribe, Hou Xubujie, the bone capital, but in the vast night, they were awakened from their sleep by the rebel army, and they didn't even have their clothes dressed, so how could they have time to climb on the war horse with their weapons and fight? What's more, these two thousand soldiers of the Northern Liang will not give you a chance to get on the horse. So the cavalry against the infantry, naturally, was a one-sided slaughter.

Duan Zhong looked at the soldiers of Beiliang and vented the resentment in his heart, sighed slightly, glanced at Xiao Zhengrong beside him and said: "You said that the two armies are fighting, and the hatred between the two sides will only get deeper and deeper, until it reaches the point of never dying." Retribution, when is it a head! ”

Xiao Zhengrong also sighed: "If there is war, there will be hatred, this is a doomed thing." When the Huns slaughtered the people of our Northern Liang, how could they have been soft on our people? Now that you have ordered not to kill women and children, you are already virtuous enough. ”

Duan Zhong touched his nose and looked at the firelight he saw, with a slight sense of suffocation in his heart. The horses galloped forward, directly over the chaotic battlefield, to the largest tent in the whole camp, and the quietest tent.

Duan Zhong jumped off the horse, and Xiao Zhengrong followed behind Duan Chong, lifted the curtain and walked in. There are obviously two worlds in this tent and outside, and the silence is a little strange, and under the faint candlelight in this tent, the two people sit quietly on the bed, like sculptures. To be exact, it should be a person, and a shadow.

Duan Zhong stepped forward quietly, and the shadow quickly retreated backwards, and suddenly disappeared. Duan Zhong touched his nose and bowed extremely respectfully: "Gudu Hou!" ”

Su Bujie looked at the young man in front of him with some fear, although the faint candlelight made him unable to see this person's face clearly, but his intuition told him that this person was enough to make his entire tribe, and even the entire Huns...... Trembling people. However, since this person is willing to stand here and talk to himself, it means that he does not want to kill himself for the time being. So he mustered up the last trace of courage of the Hun warriors and puffed up his chest: "You...... You guys, what do you want? ”

Duan Zhong still let out a long sigh: "Listen, outside is the screams of your clansmen, when you led your three thousand iron horsemen into the hinterland of Beiliang to slaughter the people, have you ever thought about the consequences today?" ”

Su Bujie was silent for a long time, then raised his head to look at Duan Chong: "Are you standing here just to let me witness with my own eyes how your troops in the Northern Liang slaughter my people and how they destroy my tribe?" ”

Duan Zhong sighed and shook his head: "I came here to make a deal with you, and again, this is also the salvation of your people!" ”
