In order to pay tribute to the Ping royal family before, the four of them had a heated discussion, but Jinbei thought that the tribe had just stabilized and should pay tribute in order to achieve peace. However, at the instigation of Pang Tong, Bai Luo and Bagu, who were completely immersed in the dream of a powerful target, were completely on Pang Tong's side, believing that there was no need to pay tribute at all. As a result of this incident, the Ping royal clan ordered the tribe of Jilan and the tribe of Wu to wage war against the largest tribe of Jilan.

"So, ma'am, what message have you brought back?"

Pang Tong asked without looking back.

"The city is peaceful, the Ping royal family has 20,000 horses in the city, and the defender of the city is Zhu Bao's brother Zhu Xiu. This person is brave and unscrupulous, good at drinking and killing. However, there is a strategist named Ma Ru, who seems to be quite capable. ”

Pang Tong said: "It seems that the lineup is good, it's not the time to attack the city." ”

The others gasped. After all, they are in a great crisis at the moment, and the enemy's forces are almost ten times their own.

"I'm joking."

Bai Luo immediately said, "The people by the White River have been evacuated. ”

Jin Beidao: "The guards have been strengthened in the old village. ”

"The vein can't be lost." Pang Tong said solemnly: "And they won't care about these small places of ours, they will definitely come directly to this side." ”

Jin Bei sighed again: "After all, the opponent is 90,000 people." Are we arming all those who can fight? ”

Pang Tong, who shook his head, said categorically: "No, hastily organizing some untrained people to fight will only become a burden and damage morale." 10,000 elite soldiers are enough. ”

His expression was full of confidence, but Bai Luo, Bagu, and especially Jin Bei were still worried. They had never faced such a number of enemies.

"Is it really okay?"

Jin Bei's expression was buried in infinite shadows, no matter how the candle flame flickered, but his hanging head refused the fire. It seems that the lives of all the people are on their shoulders.

"I'm not going to let everyone die."

Pang Tong saw through these people's worries.

Bai Luo breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly: "I almost became suspicious. If your tactics are wrong, whether we want to destroy the whole city, I can't afford that kind of fate. ”

"After death, you can't face your ancestors."

Bagu also added solemnly.

Jin Bei finally raised his heavy head and said to Pang Tong: "Great Patriarch, you have the lives of four tribes on your shoulders. Do you have a plan? ”

"Of course." Pang Tong clasped his hands on his chest, nodded, and asked rhetorically, "What are the characteristics of the enemy this time?" ”

The three of them looked at each other. Bai Luo said first: "Is there a lot of people? ”

Pang Tong shook his head.

Jin Beidao: "They are ruled by the Ping royal family. ”

But Pang Tong didn't respond or looked at Bagu directly.

The burly man with a scar on his forehead was forced to reply under his gaze: "If you come from a long journey, you will be tired." ”

Looking at their serious thinking expressions, Pang Tong said indifferently: "They are all tribes under the rule of the Ping royal family, they have traveled long distances, and they are numerous. None of this is the point. In my eyes, they are a piece of loose sand ruled by the tyranny of the Ping royal family. I just want to ask, the Chaoxue clan, the big tribe of Jilan, and the Qing clan who led some tribes from Wuyi County, they are all powerful tribes, and their strength is second to that of the Ping royal clan, so have they had any wars with the peace royal clan in the past? ”

Jin Bei, the eldest, replied: "The daughter of the patriarch of the Chaoxue clan was forced to marry Zhu Tong, the son of the patriarch of the Ping royal clan, six years ago, and this matter is no different from what was robbed. Although the patriarch of the Chaoxue clan, Xuewen, resisted at first, but because the Ping royal clan gathered all the tribes to wage war against the Chaoxue clan, before the war started, the Chaoxue clan surrendered and obediently sent Xue Ke to the Ping royal clan. It should have been a big conflict, but there were no casualties. ”

Bai Luo couldn't wait to add: "More than twenty years ago, I was still young at that time. He laughed out loud and looked at Jin Bei. Jin Bei knew what he wanted to say, so he nodded in confirmation. "The Qing clan had dealings with several tribes in Yelang County, and at that time it was said that they were going to rebel against the Ping royal clan, and there was a lot of trouble. The Ping royal clan gathered 100,000 elite soldiers of various clans in Qiqi City, intending to deal with it, but it was unexpected. Some people are rumored to be mistaken. But I feel a little bit like there's no wind or waves. In fact, there are a lot of such things, so many tribes, some of them are not small, and they definitely don't want to be subservient to others. ”

"That's enough."

Pang Tong stroked his jaw, as if he had thought it through. Inside the pupils are flickering essences. He looked at the void and said, "Madam, please go and find out the movements of the Chaoxue Clan tomorrow." Pang Tong also sent spies to observe the situation of the Qing tribe on the other side.

In the afternoon of the next day, the tribe led by the Chaoxue tribe went down to the village twenty miles west of the city. The Qing people are ten miles to the south. At night, Xueyue and the spies came back to report the situation, and Pang Tong only cared about the patrol range and path of the enemy's spies, which made Xueyue a little confused, and even the enemy's equipment situation mentioned seemed to be ignored by Pang Tong.

Pang Tong had a notice posted in the city, saying that the Ping royal clan asked the Ren clan for a hundred beautiful women to pay tribute, but Pang Tong flatly refused, and the Ping royal clan drove their own pawns to besiege the Ren clan. When the people of the Ren tribe found out, they were not afraid, and they were filled with righteous indignation, and they all had the desperate desire to go to the battlefield, and the soldiers were even more in the mood of fighting the enemy to the death.

At night, a horse galloped towards the city, but it was surrounded by five cavalry regiments after not traveling more than five miles. The cavalry wanted to flee and drew their swords against each other. The enemy confronted him, stabbed him in the right chest, and he fell off his horse. This person was a warrior of the Ren tribe and was escorted to the Dazhai of the Chaoxue tribe. At the foot of the tent, he knelt down with a pained face.

"Who are you?"

Someone asked. He had no choice but to look up and see a small but muscular man sitting cross-legged on the ground. He didn't say a word. The man said angrily: "If you are willing to tell the truth and give you a bounty of 100 taels, I will never break my word!" ”

After hearing this, the man nodded and said, "Just spare my life." I am the messenger of the Naren tribe, and I have been sent to the city of Muqi. ”

Snow Pattern's eyes widened, as if she had heard terrible news, and immediately asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

The man shook his head, his right chest was still bleeding and his body was weak.

"You're all injured like this, and you're not telling the truth!"

"I really don't know, just let me send something."

Snow Pattern got up and strode away, standing in front of him and saying, "Take it out for me!" ”

The man honestly untied the blood-stained leather armor and pulled out a piece of paper through a slit in the inside of the leather armor. Xuewen immediately grabbed it, walked to the brazier and opened it to take a look: "Our army is ready, and when General Zhu gives an order, we can complete the encirclement of Xuewen." However, the territory of the Chaoxue clan mentioned earlier, we still don't want it. Thanks to General Zhu for his kindness. ”

"I've already seen through your Ping royal family!"

Xue Wen was furious, threw the paper roll in his hand into the brazier, and looked at the messenger on the ground in anger: "What else! Recruit from the truth! ”

The messenger shuddered and fainted. Snow streaks ordered people to splash water. The messenger was drenched, as if he had just risen from the river, and opened his eyes. A soldier said, "Patriarch, this man has lost too much blood. ”

Xuewen immediately squatted down beside the messenger and said loudly: "Tell me quickly, what else!" ”

"No ......"

The messenger fainted again. Xuewen's face seemed to tremble like a cramp, and he took a deep breath and said to Congren: "Let someone cure him immediately." ”

He is like a person who has just woken up. Faced with the enemy's impending entrapment, he must make a choice for himself and the tribe that comes with him.

The same thing happened on the other side, a horse was surrounded by a group of people and horses of the Qing clan soon after leaving the south gate, and the five flowers were tied up and pressed into the camp tent of the Qing patriarch Qingzun.

The soldier refused to kneel, and after being kicked in the leg by an enemy soldier, he screamed in pain and fell to his knees. But he still shot a compelling gaze, staring at the swarthy man on the tiger skin seat. The man has black stripes tattooed on both arms. He pointed to the captive and said, "What are you doing?" ”

"Ren Warrior!"

"Nice tone. Search for me! ”

At this moment, the captives seemed to be shocked and began to resist, a move that caught Qingzun's attention.

"Strip him naked and search him!"

His leather armor and clothes were all stripped off, and he was pressed to the ground, but nothing was found. Qingzun picked up his leather armor and looked inside, "Of course, it will hide in a secret place, it's too underestimated." He opened the thin slit in the leather inside and pulled out a blank piece of paper, which read: "General Zhu, we are ready." ”
