When Zhemu was young, he was also one of the most powerful warriors in the tribe, otherwise he would not have become the head of the clan.

Therefore, the old man was not stunned in the face of Di Ren, who was holding a torch in one hand and an axe in the other, but calmly followed Xiao Jinxing's deliberately slowed pace forward.

After a while, Zhemu suddenly felt that his eyes were empty, and he raised his head only to find that there were still hundreds of carts surrounded by more than a thousand cavalry, although he also saw some vehicles at dusk, but he did not expect that there would be such a large number.

"This, this is?"

Zhemu's heart seemed to be grabbed, he trembled and raised his finger to point to the car in front of him, and looked at Xiao Jinxing nervously.

"Grain, the food I found.

That's just a small amount, and we'll have more food in the future.

So, you don't have to worry about our tribe falling into a catastrophe. ”

Xiao Jinxing said as he walked towards the vehicles, and under Zhemu's stunned gaze, he took out his beloved dagger and stabbed it into the neatly stacked burlap bags on a carriage.

As the dagger was drawn, the grain in the sack flowed down like a golden waterfall and fell into the withered yellow grass.

Jemu walked to the carriage and fell to his knees, his hands folded in the rushing grain, his eyes shining brightly.

Until the grain was piled up in the palm of his hand.

"Immortal God, Jemu should not question your kindness, please forgive Jemu for his sins of being ungodly!

You have brought life, death, and endless hope to the grassland, and Zhemu is ashamed. ”

Under the gaze of the two thousand Di people, on this desolate grassland, the old Zhemu held the flowing grain in his hand and wailed desolately.

This autumn, the people of the grassland lived a life that their ancestors had been looking forward to for generations, but it was never realized.

They didn't have to graze, because the few remaining cattle and sheep in the tribe were forcibly driven to Youchongren by Xiao Jinxing.

It is only in the forests where there are people that the remaining horses, cattle and sheep can get enough food and grass, and although winter comes early, the trees and cold can withstand the infestation of locusts.

And as compensation, each of the Yu tribes received enough food to sustain them through the long winter.

This grain and the untold amount of meat obtained from the starving cattle and sheep gave the tribe's people great peace of mind.

Their reverence for the Golden Tribe and the leaders of the Golden Tribe has also reached an unprecedented height. What's more, Xiao Jinxing also promised that each tribe would stay until next spring, and every family would definitely get more cattle, sheep and horses.

There was no grazing, no hunting, no work to survive, and everyone took on their own responsibilities as if they had agreed.

Each tribe sent all the young strong, and they rode the only left, emaciated war horses to the Golden Tribe, and joined the army that Xiao Jinxing was about to embark on the western expedition.

This time, for the first time, the supreme leader of the Golden Tribe announced to the 300,000 people of the Youyu clan that he would seize a piece of heaven and pure land for them where there would never be famine or hunger.

For this upcoming expedition, Xiao Jinxing prepared to attack westward in three ways.

One way, Bemu and Bortu led 10,000 horses from Beidi to the west from the bitter cold polar region in the north and destroyed Ren

He dared to resist the tribal armed forces, and plundered their people, cattle and horses.

One route was led by Zhezhe, Zhetuo, Zhe Mi'er and other young generals led an army of 20,000, and after defeating the Yousu tribe with themselves, they continued to attack the territory of the Youqiu clan to the west.

And he will lead 10,000 soldiers and horses south to march west along the north side of Dragon City, and after testing Dragon City's reaction, attack the Zi tribe west of Dragon City.

Xiao Jinxing and Zhezhe agreed clearly that once the two armies succeeded, they would continue to march west and join forces to attack the golden tribe of the Huaxu clan.

Because Xiao Jinxing learned from Ayi'er that although Huaxu is located in the extreme west, the land there is flat and vast, with forests, rivers, grasslands and majestic snow-capped mountains.

Xiao Jinxing estimated that the hinterland of the Huaxu clan was definitely far more livable than the three tribes of Youyu, Youchong and Taotang.

After all, it was a huge tribe that once had a million people.

During the preparation for this war, Xiao Jinxing was not idle, he found the only dozens of people who could speak Qin among the Yu people, and under the leadership of Ayi'er, they went to Lanlu County of Qin State through the Northern Xinjiang Trail, and sent the furs collected from the tribe over the years.

Before winter came, he had to hurry up and send the materials used to exchange food to the Qin State.

Because the tribal drought caused heavy casualties to cattle, sheep and livestock, the amount of fur obtained by the tribe this time was also extraordinarily large.

Xiao Jinxing watched the truckloads of furs leave the tribe with Ayi'er and his party, and he was also a little apprehensive in his heart.

Leaving his own protection, I don't know if Ayi'er can stand alone in the situation.

After all, from late autumn to late spring of the following year, the northern Xinjiang trail infested with worms will become extremely difficult to walk, so Ayi'er's safety can only rely on her own improvisation.

On the night of parting, Ayi'er, Xiao Jinxing and Xin'er stayed awake all night.

Ayi'er hurriedly made a lot of dry cakes, but Xiao Jinxing's full of instructions never opened his mouth to say even a word.

For more than six years, the three of them depended on each other, but when it was time to part, the three of them were silent all night.

When Ayi'er left the tribe, Xin'er hid behind Xiao Jinxing and silently wiped her tears.

She is a seven-year-old girl, and she already understands that there must be something more important behind the parting of her relatives than accompanying herself.

So she never stopped Ayi'er from leaving.

But being sensible doesn't mean not being sad, so she silently watched Ayi'er's figure disappear in the distance, while her tears kept dripping on the scorched grassland.

Looking at the figure of Zhezhe riding a war horse in the distance and running in the direction where Ayi'er disappeared, Xiao Jinxing sighed.

This time he sent troops to the west, he must find an opportunity to let Zhezhe die of that unrequited heart, as his most trusted person on the grassland, he can't watch Zhezhe obsessed and miss his life.

This is also a sign of respect for old Jemu.

After all, Xiao Jinxing, who is a native of Qin, will still have the constraints of etiquette and unfilial piety in his bones.

After Ayi'er left, Xiao Jinxing would take Xin'er to walk around the grassland every day, and he was always followed by a hundred teenagers who he personally selected from various tribes.

The clubs, axes, and toothsticks that these young men held were markedly different from those of the others.

Because of the spikes, the axe was not made of stone or bone, but of silver iron.

These fine irons were made by melting the stoves and stirrups that Qu Bao gave him, because the quantity was very small, so Xiao Jinxing weighed it for a long time, and then came up with the idea of forming an elite army to arm himself and protect Xin'er.

At the same time, he also wanted to see how powerful the grassland warriors who combined the Qin State's tactics would be.

The leaders of these young people were the younger ones in the Golden Tribe who drowned the worms with Xiao Jinxing.

At the beginning, they missed the opportunity to lead the troops to the Youchong and Taotang tribes, but now they can take on the responsibility of protecting the big heads, so everyone has a feeling of raising their eyebrows.

And the young men selected by their command from among the war orphans of various tribes seem to have been gifted by God, and they haunt the tribe every day with fine iron weapons that are the envy of others.

For them, even if the glory of following Xiao Jinxing was to give them a small head of the tribe in exchange, they would not hesitate to refuse.

However, from the day they were selected by Xiao Jinxing, their lives also changed dramatically.

Under the leadership of their own leaders, they practiced repetitive combat skills day after day, and according to the leaders who were younger than them, these skills were taught to them by Xiao Jinxing himself.

This sentence alone made these teenagers train like crazy.

And they were surprised to find that Xin'er, who was regarded as a pearl by Xiao Jinxing, also joined their team and conducted the same training with them every day.

As everyone knows, Xin'er has been taught all the fighting skills by Xiao Jinxing since she was a child, but the weapon she holds is a small dagger.

Two months later, when the north wind blew from the far and unattainable north, everyone knew in their hearts that the war was about to begin.

And when the messengers of the Youchong and Taotang tribes sent the news that they had set out, Xiao Jinxing immediately ordered the 30,000 Youyu army to march westward.

Before leaving, under the auspices of Wu, Xiao Jinxing prayed to Changshengtian for the first time as the head of the Yu clan.

When the Wu handed the tortoise shell with the ancient cracks to Xiao Jinxing's hands, Youyu's 30,000 warriors shouted "Ula" in unison, giving the highest tribute on the grassland to the head man who brought them glory and a second life to the tribesmen.

Wu and Zhemu stood on the high hillside, watching the warriors drift away.

It wasn't until the sun was about to set and all 30,000 warriors disappeared into the sky that they turned around and walked towards the tribe.

Wu opened his eyes again as he was leaving, only this time his empty eyes were looking at the blue sky.

"Great Witch, am I doing the right thing?"

Wu who lowered his head and closed his eyes again spoke, while the old Zhemu not far in front of him hobbled as if he hadn't heard anything.

An army of 30,000 marched rapidly under the leadership of Zhezhe, and they wanted to pass through the Altun Mountains between the Yu and Yousu tribes as soon as possible, so as to achieve the purpose of the surprise attack.

Although the Yousu clan suffered more damage than the Youyu people in this battle against the Guannai, they had a larger grassland than Youyu, and their population was much larger than that of Youyu.

Therefore, according to Xiao Jinxing's prediction, the number of soldiers that can fight with the Su tribe is set at around 50,000, so raiding their golden tribe is the only way to avoid their own losses.

After all, their goal is in the far west, not in this small Yesoux tribe.
