Bars leaped from his horse with great sturdiness, followed by Agudamu with the hilt of his scimitar dangling from his waist, and the two hurriedly bowed their heads into the tent of the Kates tribe.

In the tent, Unabatur, Harabhua, and Alatan stood up with a smile when they saw them entering, and walked forward quickly, hugging each other warmly and patting each other's strong shoulders.

Bars's golden beard whispered close to Unabatur's ear: "I won't say more polite words, you ordered other unrelated subordinates in the account to go out, and the five of us have important matters to discuss." ”

Unabatur looked up at him strangely, and nodded without hesitation.

After a few moments, only the five of them were left in the tent.

Bars was very relaxed and sat side by side with Agudamu and Unabatur and Hara, turned his head and said to Alatan with a smile: "Alatan, don't let us sit still, don't be stingy with good wine and meat, let's eat and talk together!" ”。

Alatan and Unabatur exchanged a quick glance and laughed as they walked out of the room. When he returned, the empty tent was filled with the smell of wine and meat.

Bals happily toasted a bowl of wine with the others, picked up a piece of cooked meat and chewed it with taste, swallowed it with a "grunt", and then said unhurriedly: "Actually, I have long known that the Cutters warriors are extremely powerful, and the coordination and cooperation of the two teams have been mainly trained in the past two months, and now they can finally keep pace!" ”。

He turned his fierce gaze to Unabatur and asked, "General Batur, how are you preparing the necessary materials and equipment that we have planned in advance?" ”。

Unabatur replied confidently: "You can rest assured, everything is in order, after the beginning of spring, it can be said that everything is ready to sweep down the Shani tribe!" ”。

Bars stroked his beard with one hand, shook his head with a smile, and said slowly: "What I want to tell the three of you today is this: the time to attack will not wait until the beginning of spring next year, but now. The target of the first attack is not the Shani tribe either, but Vata! ”。

Hara leaned down and said eagerly, "However, the Wata tribe is far away from us, if the Shani tribe gets the news and cuts off the rear route of our army and besieges us before and after, we will be passive!" Moreover, the Shani tribe is even more hateful, and the thief should capture the king first! ”。

Unabatur stretched out his hand and gently patted his younger brother on the shoulder and persuaded: "You let Bars finish, since everyone has elected him as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, we must have absolute trust in him!" ”。

Bars glanced back at Unabatur gratefully, turned his head solemnly and said, "Yes, we have already released rumors to attack the Shani tribe in the spring, so Shani Hada should have been prepared. I've received definite news that Shanihada has ordered the Wata tribe to send most of its soldiers and horses to gather at the Shani tribe, and there may be countless traps dug for us to jump into! ”。

Seeing that everyone was silent, bowing his head and pondering, Bars unhurriedly took a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, took a wine bowl and poured a few sips, touched his beard and said: "Brother Harabuhua, you have an important task, to lead the warriors of the tribe who stayed behind to train in full swing and with great fanfare, and you can even wait for an opportunity to feint in the direction of the Shani tribe to attract their attention. And I, General Batur, Alatan and others led the coalition cavalry to run for a long time, and unknowingly attacked the Watta tribe! ”。

Bars stood up with his chest straight, and said in a high-spirited manner: "There are several advantages to destroying Wata first: First, avoid the real and attack the false, and attack it unprepared. Second, as long as our coalition forces exert their momentum, the swaying grass on the walls of the grassland tribes will fall towards us, and then we will gather all our strength to attack the Shani tribe, and we will be more sure of victory. 3. Due to the alliance between Shani and the Wata tribe, Shani Hada cannot be saved from death, he can only be led by our nose, and the initiative of the entire battle situation will be firmly in our hands. ”

Hara Buhua patted the case and said: "Okay, it's decided!" But stay in the rear and change to someone else, I will be the first to go into battle with a knife to kill the enemy! ”。 As he spoke, he looked at Unabatur with an aggrieved expression and pleaded: "How about it, big brother, let's change it!" ”。

Alatan and Unabatur looked at each other and laughed. Unabatur raised his hand and pressed Harabuhua's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother, Bars is our commander-in-chief, we have all talked about it before we come, and anyone who does not listen to the general's orders will lose his head!" ”。

Hala was speechless for a moment, and then turned his begging eyes to Bars. Bars hurriedly waved his hand with a smile on his face and comforted: "Brother Hara Buhua, don't worry!" When we destroy Watta and attack the Shani tribe, I promise you to be the first to rush forward and kill the enemy, and you don't have to worry that your scimitar won't taste meat. ”

Then, he raised his hand again to stop everyone's laughter, and said with a serious expression: "This matter is only known to the five of us, and it must be kept strictly confidential, and don't tell your subordinates and soldiers." Externally, it is necessary to declare that Kaichun will attack the Shani tribe. Tomorrow at dawn, we will gather our men and horses, and each knight will only be allowed to carry dry food and water for five days, and start a long run! ”。

In the early morning of the next day, the morning star hanging in the eastern sky shone in the cold wind, and the black and endless coalition horses galloped on the field, the sound of horses' hooves, and the knights on the horses held scimitars but always maintained a solemn silence. Everywhere the people and horses passed, like a gust of wind swept through the entire wasteland.

The rush war of the Wata tribe opened the prelude to the melee of the grassland tribes and ignited the raging flames of hatred and killing between the tribes. This fire involved the vast majority of tribes, including the four major tribes of the grassland, and many tribes, large and small, were finally reduced to ashes in this fire.

Daqi Feihong Pass. General Ma Yu narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, raised his wine glass with a serious expression, and said to dozens of energetic soldiers: "Brothers, we have made a glass of wine together, and it is considered that my Ma Mou is doing a great deed for you, I hope you will go early and return early!" I have received an order from the Imperial Military Department that in the spring of the next year, my hussar battalion will return to the Guannai and quell the Red Turban bandits entrenched in Qingzhou and Pingzhou. Men swear to die for their family and country, and the burden on your shoulders is not light. Taking advantage of the fact that the Red Turban bandits have just occupied Qingzhou and are in chaos, you must find out the deployment and configuration of the bandit army, and provide first-hand real information for our army's final strategic planning! ”。

He bowed his head again and admonished the generals led by him: "The brothers you brought out this time are all carefully selected and carefully selected, and you must pay attention to safety on the road and during the operation to avoid direct conflict with the thieves." When you come back, you can't miss any of them, otherwise you will be asked! ”。

The general replied with his head held high and shouted: "Although the commander is 10,000 assured, we promise to complete the task!" ”。

The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first. The white-haired veteran General Yan was full of confidence in the troops he had trained by himself, and he was also sure of eliminating the Taiping bandits. But what has made him anxious lately is that the collection of grain and grass has been progressing slowly, and according to his temper, a bunch of heads have already fallen to the ground. But when it comes to civilian officials at all levels, he can't reach it, so he can only sulk on his own.

Yan Jiajun brought a cup of tea for his father with his own hands, handed it to his father with both hands, and saw the old man's angry appearance, he couldn't help but persuade him: "Father, don't be in a hurry, it's not your business to send troops to exterminate the bandits, it's important to take care of your body!" In recent years, disasters have continued in various places, the treasury is empty, and it is understandable that it will be difficult to gather grain and grass for a while. ”。

It's okay not to persuade him, as soon as these words came out, it was like a crater opened, and General Yan suddenly opened his eyes angrily and became angry.

He roared at Yan Jiajun: "Ignorant child, you don't talk about it!" The Taiping rebels have already opened a national dynasty, and they are fighting against our Great Qi Dynasty, how arrogant they are! If you don't eradicate it as soon as possible, you're still waiting for them to kill Dadu again?! If this thief is not removed, the old man will not be blinded! Under the Yellow Spring, you will also be ashamed of the emperor's grace! ”。

Yan Jiajun was so frightened that he fell to his knees, not daring to squeak.

After a long pause, Old General Yan let out a long breath, stroked his heavy silver-white beard, and raised his hand in a slow tone: "You get up!" The father knew that it was none of your business, but he was depressed for a while, and sent an evil fire at you. Thinking about the old man for the father, don't go to your heart. ”

Yan Jiajun hurriedly kowtowed and stood up, but he refused to leave.

Old General Yan smiled slightly, glanced at Yan Jiajun and said, "If you have something to say, say it quickly, if you have a fart, don't hide it!" ”。

Yan Jiajun hesitated and saluted slightly: "Father, the child heard some rumors, saying that someone in the court impeached you and Dazai-sama in front of the saint, but the saint rejected it, and also fined the impeachment official for one year. Child...... The child is worried that there will be no wind and no waves, and I am afraid that someone in the court will be unfavorable to his father. ”

General Yan smiled and said disdainfully: "There are always some people in the court who are full of food every day, and they chew their tongues when they have nothing to do, like idle women in the market. The old man doesn't have the time to take care of this kind of villain! ”。

Yan Jiajun said anxiously: "The child means that the father is also a lot older, and he should not act too sharply and give the traitor any false accusation." ”

Old General Yan shook the sleeves of his robe, stood up, and said in a loud voice: "The old man acts above board, and he is framed by others casually. Rong Ma has been a lifelong and self-confessed conscience. In the military, mother-in-law and mother-in-law, just don't do anything after looking ahead! Besides, for my father, I am buried to the age of my neck, do you want me to be cautious and be a man with my tail between my legs? Why don't you take a knife and cut me now! As long as the old man commands the army in the coming year and sweeps away the Taiping bandits in one fell swoop, those filthy villains will all shut up for me! ”。

Yan Jiajun sighed softly, gave a deep salute, turned around and retreated.
