Gu Yigu, the patriarch of the Gray Horn Tribe, returned to Henan City and told the tribal patriarchs who had good personal relations with him about the conditions proposed by Zhao Hongrun.

Among them, some tribes were willing to accept Zhao Hongrun's conditions, while others were not.

In this regard, Gu Yigu is not reluctant.

As the so-called tree fell and scattered, the original tree called "Karma Jiao" has now been dug up by the Wei people, crumbling, in this case, the tribes that were originally attached to Karma can only find another way to make a living.

Those who wish to survive, those who do not want to be defeated, now under the command of the king of Wei Guosu, including the Dangshan army, the Shangshui army, the Chenggao army, the soldiers of the Qiangjiao tribe and the slave soldiers of the original Qiangjiao, a total of about 60,000, this is not counting the 90,000 or so people who stayed in the city at this moment.

A full 150,000!

And how many people are left on the Qianjiao side, which reached ten times the strength of the Wei army? Thirty or forty thousand horned cavalry.

In just over a month, the form of the two sides has been completely reversed, which cannot be denied that it is a big surprise.

The Gray Horn tribe quietly withdrew from Henan City, and there were about 8,000 tribal cavalry, leading their mounts, using their mounts to carry private or tribal property, as well as their wives and children, from the south gate of Henan City, and went straight to the Wei army.

On the walls of Henan City, many small and medium-sized tribal chiefs who were attached to the Gray Horn tribe watched with wide eyes at the scene of the Wei army's surrender to the Gray Horn Tribe, and found that although the tribal cavalry of the Gray Horn tribe had their weapons and mounts confiscated, and their wives and children were also taken over by an army that seemed to be of the Gray Horn people, the Wei army really did not hurt anyone.

Moreover, the Wei people did not rob those private belongings.

"What are we going to do?"

On the city walls, one tribal patriarch questioned another tribal chief.

The latter smiled bitterly twice, and said helplessly: "(Zong language) Gray Horn has surrendered to the Wei army, what else is there to fight in this battle?" ”

As soon as the words fell, another tribal cavalry, about 3,000 people, poured out of the city gate below them, carrying their remaining belongings and relatives on their mounts like the warriors of the Gray Horn Tribe, and surrendered to the Wei army with a gloomy expression, and their weapons and mounts were confiscated.

Horn ...... The tide is over.

The patriarchs of the small and medium-sized tribes who were once attached to the Qiangjiao tribe, you look at me, I look at you, and they have a tacit understanding of the underground city wall to gather the clansmen of their tribes.

After all, the middle tribes like the Gray Horn Tribe, which used to be one of the core tribes of the Brown Horn Tribe, surrendered to the Wei army one after another, and the patriarchs of these small tribes, what did they still hold onto?

However, they tacitly did not tell Bitatu about this, after all, in a sense, their surrender to the Wei army when they saw the situation was also a betrayal, a betrayal of the Qiangjiao tribe and its great patriarch Bitatu.

Because they knew this, none of the patriarchs of these small and medium-sized tribes made a noise, but quietly gathered their clansmen, quietly left Henan City, and quietly surrendered to the Wei army.

Finally, the Gray Horn tribe's warriors had almost withdrawn, and their patriarch Gu Yigu stood at the gate of the city and glanced in a certain direction in the city.

In that direction, there is the felt tent of Bitatu.

"Patriarch, the people have almost withdrawn, and we should go. If Bitatu learns about ......"

A confidant persuaded the patriarch Gu Yigu, who had been wandering at the city gate for a long time.

You know, the only remaining 30,000 or 40,000 Horn cavalry in this battle, about half of them are tribesmen of the Horn tribe, obeying the orders of its patriarch Bitatu, who knows if Bitattu will break the jar and tell his people to kill all the betrayers after learning of the betrayal of the vassal tribes?

But Gu Yigu shook his head and said in a deep voice: "(Zong language) You go to the Wei army first, I'll ...... I have one more thing that must be done. ”

The left and right henchmen looked at each other.

After that, Gu Yigu ignored the two clansmen and went straight to Bitatu's felt tent.

Along the way, Gu Yigu saw a lot of cavalry of the Qiang tribe, these people looked at him with strange eyes, no longer have the usual respect, generally with contempt and strangeness.

Seeing this, Gu Yigu sighed secretly: these warriors of the Qiangjiao tribe had obviously learned about the surrender of the tribes in the city to the Wei army one after another.

However, why hasn't Bitatu reacted in the slightest so far?

You know, according to what Gu Yigu knew about Bitatu, the latter hated betrayers.

This doubt was not solved until Gu Yigu came to the felt tent of Bitatu.

It turned out that since returning to Henan City, Bitatu has been drinking in the felt tent, or pouring wine on himself, as if he wants to use the strength of wine to numb the resentment in his heart.

No, Gu Yigu saw with his own eyes a leader of the Qiangjiao tribe shouting anxiously outside the felt tent, shouting that "the tribes in the city have surrendered to the Wei army one after another".

However, the reply of Bitatu in the felt tent was only one word.

"Get out!!"

Listening to the anger and resentment mixed with Bitatu's roar, Gu Yigu sighed secretly.

In his opinion, Bitatu was expected to become a hero of the Qiangjiao people, after all, the Qiangjiao tribe he led beat the Hu people in the north to a mess, making the southern part of the Northland a hunting ground for their Qiangjiao tribe, and they could wantonly rob the Hu people's wealth, sheep, slaves, and women at any time.

It's just that I didn't expect that this figure, who was expected to become a hero of the Qian people, was folded in the hands of the young King Su of Wei.

"What else are you doing here?!"

Probably noticing Gu Yigu's approach, the warriors guarding outside the felt tent all showed indignant looks.

"I want to see the Great Patriarch." Gu Yigu said in a deep voice.

However, the reply of the Horned warriors to him was a mouthful of spit on the ground, and a word of "traitor" with a strong hostility.

Just as Gu Yigu was thinking about how to meet Bitatu, the tent of the felt tent was lifted, and Bitatu's adopted son, Bosil, came out, bowed his head to Gu Yigu, and asked, "Gu Yigu, please enter." ”

Seeing that it was Bosil who came forward to relieve the siege of Guyigu, the warriors of the Qiangjiao tribe did not dare to act rashly.

Seeing this, Gu Yigu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and while stepping into the felt tent, he said to Bosil: "(Zong language) Thank you for helping me relieve the siege. ”

Unexpectedly, Bosil shook his head and said, "It is not me who invited the patriarch into the account, but the great patriarch." ”

"Huh?"

Gu Yigu was obviously stunned, and turned his head sharply to look into the felt tent, only to find Bitatu sitting in the tent with his chest bare-chested and prickly face, holding a clay pot for wine in his arms, and looking at him with eyes that were deeply drunk.

"Are you here to say goodbye to the patriarch of this great country, Gu Yigu?" Bitatu asked with a sneer, burping.

Gu Yigu's face flashed with a complicated look when he heard this, and he silently walked to a seat in the tent and sat down, then turned his head to look at Bitatu, and said: "(Shan language) My clansmen from the Gray Horn tribe have gone out of the city to surrender to the Wei army at this moment, and I have no worries. ”

"(Zong language) there is no concern......" Bitatu muttered this sentence, and he didn't know if he understood the deep meaning of Gu Yi's ancient words, so he laughed and said, "Then accompany the patriarch of Ben to have a drink." So saying, he pointed to Bosiel, and then to Guyigu.

Aware of this, Bossil took a crockpot full of wine from his tent and carried it to Guyigu.

Gu Yigu was not hypocritical, and drank directly into the mouth of the crockpot, and in a blink of an eye, he drank the wine of a crockpot.

Seeing this, Bitatu hahaha laughed, and after laughing for a while, he asked wistfully: "How many years have you and I known each other?" ”

"It's been more than 20 years." Gu Yigu wiped his mouth with his sleeve and replied.

"Yes, it's been more than 20 years......" Bitatu took a sip of wine while holding the clay pot, and said lightly: "You are watching me step by step turn a small tribe without a title into a fourth large tribe that can rival the three major tribes of the Yi, Ling, and Qian. And now, you will witness this great tribe fall apart......"

"The Great Patriarch ......" A trace of sadness flashed in Gu Yigu's eyes.

At this time, Bitatu smacked his lips and asked, "(Zong language) Wei people...... Hmm, that Hai Zi Su King of Wei, what price did you pay to make him change his mind and surrender? ”

"Freedom." Gu Yigu did not hide the conditions proposed by Zhao Hongrun to Bitatu, and said in a deep voice: "We have lost our freedom, and the clan name, the king of Wei will not allow the word 'Jiaojiao' to appear again, and in the future, we will be called 'Sanchuan Cavalry' and fight for Wei for ten years." Ten years later, he allowed us to revert to our tribe's family name. ”

"Ten years?" Bitatu pursed his lips and sneered: "That Mao Xiao Su Wang is cleverly calculating, and he will recruit you to deal with the Korean cavalry, is the Korean cavalry so easy to deal with?" Not to mention the decade-long scene. I really don't know how many people will be left in ten years. ”

Gu Yigu smiled miserably when he heard this, and said: "It's better than being wiped out by the Wei army right now, isn't it?" At the very least, there is still some hope. ”

"......" Bitatu silently poured wine, and said melancholy after half a ring: "(Zong language) Gu Yigu, do you know? I don't regret provoking the Wei people, I just regret it, this war between my Jiaojiao and the Wei State broke out too late......" As he spoke, he saw Gu Yigu's stunned face, so he snorted and laughed: "Don't think that only Qin is expanding abroad, and so is Wei." I've lived more than 40 years of Tatu, and for the first time I've been chilled down my back by a milky little hairy child. ”

"(Zong language) that Su Wang Ji Run of the Wei State?" Gu Yigu asked in surprise.

Bitatu narrowed his eyes, as if he wanted to say something, but then, I saw him sigh, shook his head and said, "(Zong language) Karma has been defeated, it is useless to talk more...... Look at it, that little hairy boy, he will use this war to gradually control the tribes in my Sanchuan land, and when the time comes, those who follow the other will prosper and those who oppose the other will die. Decade? …… No, we won't have the chance to have true freedom again! ”

Gu Yigu's face changed slightly when he heard this.

At this time, I heard Bitatu say as if self-deprecating: "(Zong language) Go, Gu Yigu, go and be a dog for the Wei people." Although you lose your freedom, you may be able to gain good benefits. It's just that...... There will be no more true freedom. Speaking of this, he glanced at Gu Yigu and admonished again: "Don't think about regaining freedom, there will be no more chances." ”

"......" Gu Yigu opened his mouth, hesitated for a while, and then stood up, ready to say goodbye to Bitatu.

At this moment, he saw Bitatu raise his hand and point at his adopted son Bosil, and said lightly: "(Zong language) take him away ...... too"

"......" Gu Yigu and Bosil looked at each other.

The latter, in particular, was full of consternation. (To be continued.) )
