The 20,000 Han reinforcements sent by Liu Che naturally haven't arrived yet, and Qin Cheng has already sent people who are familiar with the grassland terrain to respond. From the beginning of this day, the Han army began to sleep during the day and spend half the night marching at night. Before the reinforcements arrived, didn't the Han army still have to hide their whereabouts, if the military ministers chased after the army of 50,000, it would not be good.

The military minister Shan Yu has 30,000 fine horsemen in the headquarters, plus 10,000 snow wolves, plus 10,000 blood wolves forcibly transferred by the military minister Shan Yu, and 50,000 horses, which is also an absolute strong horse!

However, although the Han army was hiding from the military ministers, they could not completely hide and do nothing. If the military minister Shan Yu thought that the Han army had withdrawn, and he himself returned to the royal court with an army of 50,000, Qin Cheng and the others would have to trouble him again, but it would not be so easy.

And in order to hide his true intentions, Qin Cheng also had to let the Han army attack several Xiongnu tribes from time to time. Although these tribes have been ordered by the military minister Shan Yu and have been on guard, those tribes are small, and they only have a few thousand people, and they are naturally powerless to parry in the face of the tiger and wolf army of 30,000 Han troops.

30,000 Han troops, that is all to eat, not a few Xiongnu tribes, grab some cattle and sheep, for the Han army without logistics supplies, what to eat?

However, in the end, it was not to attack the Xiongnu tribes as the biggest purpose, so although the Han army seemed to run all over the grassland, it actually did not exert much strength, and after a few days, the soldiers also recuperated their spirits.

......

However, it was said that after Qin Cheng discussed the military situation with the generals that day, at night, four people came to the barracks. The Han army guarding the door saw these four guys who ran out of the night, and was about to step forward to ask for an explanation, but was rewarded by one of them on the spot and scolded: "I don't even recognize me? ”

Although the guard was kicked, it was not heavy, and when he saw the man's face clearly, the guard smiled and gave the man the way to the way.

Qin Cheng was washing his feet in the military tent, and when he heard Ran Min's report that Qin Qingzhi was back, he was immediately overjoyed and let Qin Qingzhi in.

"My subordinates have seen the general!" Qin Qingzhi entered the big tent, and when he saw Qin Cheng, his nose was sour, and he almost cried, and hurriedly saluted.

Qin Cheng saw Qin Qingzhi's behavior like this, and only said that he must have experienced a lot of hardship on this trip, walked over and helped him up, laughed, and said, "Look at your embarrassed appearance, you must be hungry!" "Let's just let Ran Min order someone to get some hot food and bring it over.

Qin Qingzhi sniffed, a warm smile appeared on his face, and then his face turned straight, and he said to Qin Cheng: "General, a messenger has been sent over there." ”

"Oh, where?" Qin Cheng hurriedly asked.

"It's right outside the tent, do you want to let them in?" The way of Qin Qing.

"Naturally, you have to call in!" After Qin Cheng walked back to the desk, Qin Qingzhi shouted, and two people walked in from outside the tent, one after the other, a middle-aged man and a young man.

When the two saw Qin Cheng, they met each other with the rites of the grassland, and the middle-aged man in front of him said in fluent Chinese: "Respect General Qin, the patriarch asked me to say hello to you on his behalf......

......

In the hinterland of the desert, in the west of Wuhuan and Xianbei, there is an Amid tribe.

The Amid tribe is not a single tribe, but a large tribe composed of nearly ten large and small tribes, and the combined population of each tribe has a population of no less than 100,000, and its number is close to two-thirds of the entire Wuhuan tribe.

Twenty years ago, when Amid was the patriarch of the reign, because of the expansion of the military minister Shan Yu, the entire tribe was included in the territory of the Great Xiongnu.

And on a clear day five years ago, it was a bloody nightmare for the entire Amid tribe.

At that time, the previous patriarch Amid could not bear the oppression of the military minister Shan Yu, and for the dignity of the entire tribe and the descendants of the tribe not to forget the glory of their ancestors, he planned a military mutiny against the rule of the military ministers. But because of the lack of detailed planning, the matter was leaked in advance, and before the old patriarch Amid had time to gather the cavalry of the whole clan, the military minister Shan Yu used thunderous means to wash the court of Amid in blood and brutally suppressed Amid's resistance.

On that day, the 20,000 elite soldiers of the Amid royal court were destroyed in one fell swoop, and less than a thousand people survived!

The old patriarch Amid also died in that bloody suppression.

After the death of the elder Amid, his son succeeded to the throne and continued to rule the Amid tribe, becoming known as the younger Amid.

At the beginning of the reign of Little Amid, contrary to the style of doing things that were contrary to the military ministers everywhere during the Amid period, it seemed extremely obedient, and many decisions made by the military ministers but would endanger the tribe, and Little Amid did not hesitate to do it. For this reason, little Amid was not poked in the backbone by his clansmen!

However, two years later, Xu was satisfied with the submission of the little Amid, and the military minister Shan Yu withdrew the 20,000 elite soldiers placed in the court of Amid. Let little Amid run the tribe for him alone.

After the cavalry of the military minister Shan Yu withdrew, just when the Amid people thought that little Amid would lead them to work hard, continue the legacy of the old Amid, and strive for independence, the little Amid was still his former style, and continued to submit to the military minister Shan Yu as a godson.

In this regard, many people with lofty ideals in the Amid tribe were heartbroken, scolded little Amid all day long, and even assassinated little Amid. On both occasions, little Amid nearly died.

But little Amid, as always, never wavered in his style of submitting to the military and the army.

And the only sign of his conscience is that he did not pursue those clansmen who scolded him all day long for dying without a place to be buried, and even those clansmen who plotted to assassinate him, he only disposed of those who cut him with knives with his own hands, and ignored those plotters behind the scenes, as if they did not know.

......

On this day and night, when the sky was full of stars, and it was already the middle of the day, little Amid, who was still single in his twenties, lifted the curtain of the big tent, dressed in white, and walked out, and lit a bonfire in front of the tent, and did it casually in front of the fire, fiddling with the fire, staring at the burning flames, and being silent.

After a long time, the bearded little Amid sighed, and said without raising his head, "Don't hide, come out!" ”

There was silence all around, and no one responded to him.

"Linen." Perhaps knowing that the man would not respond to him, little Amid added a name.

Sure enough, with a sound of rustling, a graceful figure walked out from behind the big tent, it was a very beautiful prairie woman, seventeen or eighteen years old, her loose hair was very beautiful, she looked at the little Amid who still didn't look up, snorted in the atmosphere, sat down beside the little Amid, and said, "Am I not as beautiful as the fire?" ”

Little Amid finally looked up at the bulging flax on his cheeks, and said lightly: "These are two different things. ”

Flax glanced at him, and when he saw little Amid looking at the fire again, his eyes darkened, and suddenly he felt a sadness, and said in a sad voice: "Tomorrow I will leave with the people sent by the royal court, and you still don't want to look at me more, and you don't have any nostalgia for me after all......"

Amid has the "obligation" to pay tribute to the Xiongnu court every year for two beautiful girls, and flax is one of the people chosen by the Xiongnu envoys this year, and tomorrow is the day to set off.

After Flax finished speaking, little Amid still didn't look at her, didn't say a word, didn't react at all, as if he hadn't heard Flax's words.

Rao is flax knew the temperament and hardships of little Amid, and she couldn't help it at this time, she stood up suddenly, and pushed little Amid's thin body with all her strength, tears flowed down, and she said with a hoarse voice: "Little Amid, you waste!" Why don't you dare to take your people against the military ministers? Why are you so afraid of him? You have surrendered to others for five years, and in the end you can't even keep your own woman, you waste, do you still have dignity, do you remember the glory of your ancestors? Any man in the clan is better than you! Why did I fall in love with you! ”

After saying that, Flax wiped a handful of tears, and no longer had the courage to stand here and run towards the wilderness!

She didn't want to be given to the military ministers as a tribute, and the person she liked couldn't protect herself, so she couldn't mourn more than die, so Flax decided to let the wolf eat her!

She had just taken two steps out of the run, but her arm was suddenly grabbed.

"Where are you going?" The man behind him said, his tone as flat as ever, as if he had no emotion.

"I'm going to pursue the glory of my ancestors, you let me go!" Flax struggled to get rid of little Amid's arm.

"The dead cannot pursue the glory of their ancestors, only the living can find the glory of their ancestors and embrace it!" Little Amid's tone finally fluctuated, and he said in a sonorous voice.

"What did you say?" Flax stopped struggling, and she felt a pang of confusion as she looked at the face in front of her, which seemed to be more serious than ever.

"I said, you don't have to go to the courtier's court tomorrow." Little Amidian regained his composure, he said.

Flax looked at little Amid blankly, his eyes full of incomprehension, doubts, accidents, doubts, and a glimmer of hope.

At this moment, a voice came from the darkness.

"Patriarch, it's done." The man's tone was respectful.

"Where's the head?" Little Amid asked, "Bring it." ”

"Yes." The man in the darkness answered, and walked out.

It was a man who was too big to speak, and at this time, he was carrying a black thing in his hand.

He stopped in front of little Amid and respectfully offered the black thing.

"Ahh With a scream, Linen's legs went limp, and he collapsed to the ground, pointing at the black thing, his body trembling in terror.

Little Amid walked over, took the black head from the man's hand, and ripped the man's hair away, revealing his pale face.

"You see, the envoy of the military minister is dead, so you naturally don't have to go to the royal court of the military minister tomorrow." Little Amid held the head of the man who was still dripping blood in both hands, looked at the flax and said seriously.
