A cavalryman wearing a leather helmet and wielding a long sword twisted in the shape of a serpentine sword. The man's face twitched, as if he had been observing what was around him, his breathing was calm, and the soldiers around him were surrounded by him.

"The enemy will descend early!"

Pang Tong shouted loudly and killed him with two swords. The enemy soldiers began the most stubborn resistance, which corroborated Pang Tong's suspicions. At this moment, Xuewen led a group of cavalry around and stabbed directly into the rear of the enemy phalanx, catching him by surprise. As soon as the enemy general turned around, he was stabbed off his horse by a shot from Snow Pattern. This relatively short patriarch had good marksmanship, and all the enemy soldiers who wanted to go to the Savior were assassinated by him and fell to the ground.

"Zhu Bao is dead!"

Snow Pattern roared, venting all her anger at once. The surrounding Ping royal clan headquarters were trembling, and those small clans who were attached knelt down and begged to surrender after hearing the words.

There were 60,000 people in the headquarters of the Ping royal family, more than 50,000 were killed in the battle, and only more than 3,000 surrendered. 140,000 of the other tribes were killed in battle, 30,000 were killed, and 110,000 surrendered. From this ratio, the loyalty of the vassal tribes to the Ping royal clan is very low, and it can even be said that it is pitiful. As long as the Ping royal family is at a disadvantage, there will be backlash.

On the other hand, more than 10,000 people were killed or wounded by the Chaoxue and Qing tribes. To the shock of these two tribes, the Ren tribe, which was only 10,000 people, only killed and wounded more than 1,000 people, and killed the most enemies. In the words of the Snow Clan, it is: "Like a group of wild beasts." ”

Pang Tong, Xuewen, and Qingzun came to the big village of the Ping royal family. The soldiers began to carry the baggage inside. It seems a bit of a pity that the grain and grass are still burning. But that's a strategic necessity.

"You can eat it for a long time."

Xuewen sighed, turned to Pang Tong and said, "I can be regarded as a teacher of the Ren Clan. ”

"That's a strategic victory."

Pang Tong said calmly: "You must see the tactics I have planted here. Of course, our soldiers have always been excellent. ”

"The Han people are really resourceful." Qingzun said: "I suspect that those big clans will fail to oppose the Shu Kingdom. ”

Pang Tong looked up at the starry sky, looking for his big star, and said, "Their defeat is our victory." After seeing the Big Dipper, he looked at the two of them with peace of mind and said, "How is it, can you fulfill the contract?" It doesn't matter if you want to regret it, after all, if you have different aspirations, you won't be able to come together in the end. ”

Xuewen looked at Qingzun, and Qingzun seemed to hesitate. Xue Wen shook her head and said, "You underestimate the credibility of our tribes. We are all men of flesh and blood, how can we repent! ”

Qingzun's whole body trembled, and he looked at the snow pattern in surprise, as if he wanted to say something, but the face of this man with strong arms was very serious. Pang Tong gave his gaze to Qingzun. Qingzun sighed impatiently and said, "If I regret it, I will be ashamed to spread it." But I don't want to be with your tribe so easily, it seems a bit too hasty. It's like taking risks without any guarantees. You know what I mean. ”

Hearing his words, Pang Tong was not angry, he smiled and said: "After all, you represent all the tribes in Wuqi County, I understand your feelings." But what I did was something that the Ping royal family couldn't do. I want everyone to be like family, without hierarchies. The Ren people will not be on top, and all the big and small tribes will merge and share prosperity. If I break my promise, heaven and earth will be destroyed! Of course, you also have the right to repent, and I don't have any restrictions on you. You don't have to risk it. ”

"But the problem is, I've taken a risk." Qingzun smiled bitterly, looked at the soldiers who were carrying the boxes around him, and said, "Isn't it just following you as a madman on an adventure today?" ”

The Chaoxue clan represents all the tribes of Helan County, except for the Ren clan, of course. And the Qing represent all the tribes of Wuzhi County. All the tribes have been replaced with the banners of the Ren people. The entire Ren nationality has grown from a population of 230,000 to a population of more than 1.4 million, involving 27 large and small tribes. Begin to build a city in the location of the Chaoxue and Qing tribes, and all the tribes will gather to live. The military forces were concentrated in the city, and the Chaoxue and Qing tribes only retained a small number of troops.

At present, the city has become the main city of the Ren people. Many of the high-ranking members of the Ren clan lived here, including Qingzun and Xuewen, who were newly appointed as patriarchs. Due to the expansion of the territory, the resources are more abundant and abundant. Even the Mordo clan, the great clan of Yelang County in the southwest of Muqi County, began to waver, and it seemed that they had lost confidence in the Ping royal clan. They began to wait and see, ignoring the urgent orders of the Ping royal family.

In the prison, Pang Tong, Xuewen and others all came to a corner to visit a man who had been rescued. For a captive, he was too extravagant. The best medicine and food were used, and the most closely guarded care was provided.

Pang Tong and the others walked into the space behind the iron fence and looked at Zhu Bao who was lying on the ground. Zhu Bao closed his eyes tightly and kept breathing heavily, as if his body had a feeling of difficulty breathing, or that he was close to suffocation. This was due to his chest tightness and shortness of breath.

Pang Tong looked down at what seemed to be a corpse and said, "Zhu Taishou should have just eaten and is not in a good mood?" ”

Zhu Bao remained motionless and silent.

"My Ren tribe is a fusion of more than 20 tribes and more than a million people. It has 100,000 troops and 30,000 horses. Now, my next step is ready to begin, so I'm going to talk to you about it. Do you think this Ping royal family should be compatible with us, or die by the blade? ”

"Arrogant thief!" Zhu Bao's eyes, whose lips were white, opened suddenly, shooting out flames of hatred. "You dare to touch my Ping royal family?"

"I don't dare. Who made you have not many soldiers now, and the regular troops are all wiped out, can you still fight in this situation? I'm not even afraid of your 200,000 troops, but I'm afraid of your remnants? ”

"The Ping royal family will not give in!"

Pang Tong smiled bitterly and looked at the elders around him, and then said to Zhu Bao on the ground: "Why are you so rigid. I won't treat other tribes like you Ping royal clan, you are too cruel and cold-blooded, you want whatever you want, if you don't give it, you will fight, is this a human thing? At least I can't. I am not asking you to submit, but to make you one with us. ”

Zhu Bao turned his face without saying a word.

Due to the failure of communication, Pang Tong and others had no choice but to leave. Pang Tong has been here for this several times, but this Zhu Bao is stubborn and doesn't speak at every turn. One day, Pang Tong came to the man whose hands and feet were shackled by chains. Zhu Bao sat against the wall, and his body recovered quite well.

"Negotiations with your people have failed. I told them to surrender or kill you, but no one listened to us, and your life didn't matter to them. ”

Zhu Bao was stunned at first, and then chuckled: "How can I destroy the whole clan with me." ”

"But the problem is that your brother Zhu Xuan sat on the throne of the patriarch by himself and killed all your cronies, I don't know the situation of your wife and children."

"What!?" Zhu Bao's face trembled, as if he was about to suffocate, and looked at Pang Tong with a straight glare. Suddenly, he squinted his eyes again, looked at Pang Tong with suspicion, and said, "Hugh wants to bluff me, I don't believe in such a thing." ”

"There are a lot of cruel things. The Han people have sons who kill Lao Tzu for the throne, and they abound. Don't fool yourself. Then he turned and left. Zhu Bao wanted to stop him, but he didn't have that motivation in his heart.

In May, everything was ready. Pang Tong set out from Qiqi City and drove 100,000 troops towards Pingyi County in the northwest corner. Some tribes in the county did not accept the orders of the Ping royal family, and they also maintained a wait-and-see attitude. They were looking forward to a decisive battle.

The Ping royal clan marched with 50,000 troops and confronted the Ren army on the plain. Pang Tong came to the front of the battle, and the soldiers of the Ping royal clan he saw were all old and weak soldiers, and only more than 10,000 soldiers could be called qualified soldiers, and they were all used in the front camp.

On Pang Tong's side, Zhu Bao was brought over. Pang Tong squinted at him and said, "Untie his shackles and give him a horse." ”

Zhu was puzzled. After he got on a batch of white war horses, he was even more puzzled.

Pang Tong looked at the military formation of the Ping royal clan and said, "You are free, wherever you go." ”

Zhu Bao snorted coldly and said, "Arrogance! Don't regret it! ”

Zhu Bao rushed towards his army, with great excitement in his heart. But he was greeted by a field of sharp arrows. His pupils widened, and he was shot along with his horse, and fell in the center of the two formations. Under the sun, the expressions of the people who saw this scene were very different. In the eyes of the people of the Ping royal family, this is a person who has lost his position and has no power. His death was inevitable. For the soldiers, only a death execution was carried out against him. As for the soldiers and civilians of the Ping royal clan, they are faced with the bloodshed left by the struggle at the top, and there is no humanity at all. For Pang Tong's Ren army, all the soldiers who fused together saw that the former overlord of Qiqi County had died under the sharp arrows of their own people, and the impact of this reality made them realize the cruelty of coercion and rule.

In Pang Tong's eyes, he was a stubborn person, and under his strategic layout, he fell into a clear position. It can be regarded as the ultimate courtesy for this man who is bent on going back and has a persistent heart for his tribe.

Then, Pang Tong's sword waved forward and said, "The Ping royal clan has no faith at all, and they have defeated these people who used to be powerful and lucky!" ”
