in the cloud.

Lou annoying people call it the city in the clouds, but here is actually not like the Central Plains as tall cities and strong fortresses, just mobilize slaves to build the shape of the city, in the actual battle, Lou annoying people will not rely on the city like the Central Plains to defend, but fight on the fight, can not run away, for the grassland people, the grassland is a resource, not a city. However, as one of the richest pastures in Loufu, it is almost entrenched in most of the tribes of Loufu, and people are still accustomed to living and discussing tents, and will not go to those houses in the city.

Most of the tribal leaders of Lou Fu had already gathered in the tent, and they naturally knew that Lou Yuan had not only just annexed the pasture of the Gu family, but also quickly let the Huns sneak attack succeeded, and he fled back in embarrassment, and he had rested in Cloud City for three days, and there were no guests. If it weren't for the fact that there were witch doctors coming in and out of the tent claiming to have seen Lou Yuan himself, these tribal leaders would have been on fire and vying to be the king of Lou Yuan.

After a while, the curtain door of the tent opened, and at the same time as the sun shone in, a tall figure also broke into everyone's field of vision, the curtain was lowered, and the man had already arrived at the top and sat down, his eyes scanned the crowd, with majesty, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Are you all here?" ”

Everyone looked around, left and right, and it seemed that all the tribal leaders had arrived.

"Where is Linghu Ye?" Lou Yuan asked.

Only then did everyone know who Lou Yuan was looking for. However, they are accustomed to this, and even a little gloating, because Ling Huye is not annoying, but Linhu.

The Linhu people are mostly entrenched in the forests from the south bank of the Great River to the upper county of the Qin State, so they are called Linhu. The Linhu people also live by grass, but they make a living by hunting in the forest, and trade with the Qin people and the Lou Nuren to survive, so the Linhu people have to rely on the Lou Nuren to survive.

The Linhu people also have their own kings, most of whom are the most powerful surnames in the tribe to become kings, and Linghuye is now the king of the Linhu people. It's just that in Lou Yuan's eyes, Ling Huye is just a small leader under his command, and he doesn't call himself by his name. Therefore, for Ling Huye has not yet arrived, they can already feel Lou Yuan's anger, so the next storm is inevitable.

At this moment, the curtain door was opened again, and a middle-aged man with a mighty physique broke in, he was wearing leather armor, walked steadily to Lou Yuan, knelt down, leaned on the ground, and said: "King Lin Hu ordered Hu Ye to salute King Lou Fu." ”

Lou Yuan didn't speak, and the scar on his face was even more hideous, this was the scar left by a feather arrow in the battle with the Huns, so that Hu Ye didn't dare to get up.

"The news of this king has been released for three days, and Lin Hu is not far from Yunzhong, why are you only here at this moment?"

"King Mingjian. Although Lin Hu is not far from the king, today, the Yiqu people and horses are frequently mobilized, and they have explored our territory many times; The Qin people in the south also seem to be mobilizing their troops and horses. Now that the river has entered a dry season, if we don't take precautions, I'm afraid it's too late. ”

Lou Yuan touched his beard, looked at Ling Huye, and guessed the truth of his words, "Get up." ”

Linghu Ye was pardoned, and quickly got up to thank him. Lou Yuan no longer looked at him, and said to everyone: "I think you all know, a few days ago, in order to subdue the Drum Clan, this king sent troops to uphold justice, but I didn't expect that the old puppet of the Drum Clan secretly colluded with the Huns, not only did not obey the control of the king, but also prepared to rebel, this kind of behavior is a beast's move!" ”

The crowd listened to him speak in a louder and louder tone, and knew that it was easy not to provoke him at this time.

"Although, this king led the soldiers and horses, defeated the invading Huns, and also killed the Gu clan, but the Huns are still entrenched under the Daqing Mountains and occupy our pasture. If we can't drive them out, then we will lose not only a place in Daqingshan, but also a place up and down the river, and there will be no place for me to stand on it! ”

The annoying generals in the tent cheered. To tell the truth, Lou Nuren was not afraid of the Huns, and in the many battles between the two sides, the Huns never had the upper hand, so many people would deal with the Huns as a hunt, nothing more.

Ling Huye looked at Lou's annoying cheers, and sighed in his heart. For Lin Hu, the Huns did not have much to do with him, but the Yiqu people in the west were his biggest enemies. Now that it's summer, the Yiqu people are moving the grassland to the south bank of the river to recuperate, which is a threat to Linhu, if you are not prepared at this time, I am afraid that Linhu will gradually be eaten away by Yiqu, and at that time, the Linhu tribe that they have worked so hard to maintain will really be gone.

Speaking of which, whether it is the Huns, Lou annoying, Linhu or Yiqu people, and the relationship between the Zhou Dynasty is constantly changing, at the beginning, the ancestors of the Zhou Dynasty were divided to this place by the King of Zhou, and were repeatedly harassed and coerced by the Rong people, and moved from the Feng to the Qishan under the leadership of the father of the ancient prince of Zhou, which allowed the Zhou Dynasty to start the road of rejuvenation, and it can be regarded as laying the foundation of the Zhou Dynasty.

The land left by the Zhou people has become the object of contention for various Rong people, especially the plateau area of Longdong, although it is not as good as the cultivation conditions in Qishan for the Zhou people, but it is also a treasure land for the Rong people who live in grass all year round, so the Yiqu people and another Rong ghost party at that time began a perennial campaign.

Yiqu is strong and brave in life, proud of dying in battle, ominous in his illness, brave in battle, unyielding in death, plus all the people are soldiers, so his combat effectiveness is extremely strong. So much so that the ghost side failed many times, and he was not allowed to flee north to both sides of the river, and did not dare to look south. On the land left by the ancestors of the Zhou Dynasty, the Yiqu people multiplied, grazed and cultivated, and gradually became powerful.

And when the Qin people were divided into this place by King Zhou Ping, they began to face the harassment of the Yiqu people, and they were repeatedly beaten at the beginning, and after the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the Qin State began to become stronger, and the Yiqu people also began to retaliate, and repeatedly asked the other party to call the other party a tribute. Therefore, the Yiqu people gradually began to move their activities to both sides of the river, competing with Loufu and Linhu for pastures and territory.

Therefore, for Linhu, if he surrenders to Yiqu, there is only one way out, that is, all Linhu people are annexed and become a member of Yiqu; And if you surrender to Lou Fu, Lou Fu's strength is not enough to eat the entire Linhu tribe, so you can only make it surrender, so that Hu Ye has no choice.

In the same way, attacking the Xiongnu is dispensable for Lin Hu and has nothing to do with it, but if there is an abnormality in Yiqu, it will be very bad.

Lou Yuan was relieved to see that the military heart was available, although he lied just now, and said that he went to invade the tribe of the Drum Clan, saying that it was mediation, and attributed the death of the Drum Clan to his own fault, but these are not a big deal for a tribal leader. What's more, he once killed his father and brother and took his sister-in-law, this kind of thing is very common for Lou Yuan.

"Linghu leader, it seems that you have something on your mind?" Lou Yuan turned around, and when he saw that Ling Huye was not cheering, his expression immediately changed, and he slowly paced in front of him, and suddenly asked.

"Please forgive the king. It's just that when the old minister came, he found out something, so that he was late for the king's summons. As for the truth of this matter, I didn't dare to say whether it was true or not, so I was in a trance. ”

"Oh?" Lou Yuan looked at Ling Huye, saw that his eyes were firm, not like lying, turned around and walked up to the first seat a few steps, looked at him with a smile, and asked: "This king wants to know, what made Mr. Ruosi in a trance, and his soul was not guarded?" ”

"Don't dare to deceive the king." Ling Huye said, "Before entering the clouds, I saw a team of envoys inquiring about the news of the Yiqu people, so I stopped and interrogated. Ling Huye said, "Although the other party said that it was just to do business, the people who came not only had the protection of the army, but also a lot of Central Plains artifacts." None of them seem to be ordinary. A certain wanted to plunder the king of Jinxian, but firstly, the identity of the other party was unknown, and a certain was afraid that it would cause a dispute and delay the king's summons, and secondly, since the other party was inquiring about the news of the Yiqu people, it must be related to it. In case it hits their attention and is known by the Yiqu people, I am afraid that it will be another vicious battle, and the gains outweigh the losses, so I have been thinking about it for a long time and have no place to go. ”

Everyone in the tent heard Linghu Ye say that there was a team of Central Plains people near the clouds, and there were many treasures, and they had long been itching, and they couldn't wait to grab it back as soon as possible. But when I looked back, I heard that it was related to Yiqu, and I suddenly broke my mind. Those people in Yiqu are all crazy. Although everyone is a Rong person, and they all make the Central Plains people look down on them, Lou Fu thinks that he is from the Zhou Dynasty canonization, and unlike other Rong people, he will naturally not be as barbaric as others.

Lou Yuan heard what Linghu Ye said, and he was also moved, he was not worried about the retaliation of the Yiqu people, in fact, the two sides were half a catty and eight taels, and no one was stronger than the other, but if the Yiqu people were provoked at this time, the Huns would be attacked from the north again. To deal with the Huns, he is not afraid, but if the Yiqu people ......

Lou Yuan shook his head, but decided not to think about the caravan, anyway, now he poses a threat, it is the Huns, as long as he drives the chest people away, it will be the same if he turns around and plunders the Zhao State. Maybe these people are really just caravans?

"Those people don't care about it for now. King Linhu's kindness, this king is heartfelt. Lou Yuan said, "Today's matter, it is better to go all out to deal with the Huns." As he spoke, he looked at the others with cold eyes and said, "If anyone provokes Yiqu's displeasure, this king will definitely hand him over and will never protect him." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked awe-inspiring, and they didn't say a word more, which made Hu Ye also breathe a sigh of relief, as for the caravan, let him go.

These people may never guess that it was this caravan that almost overthrew the famous Qin State, and history is so unexpected.

Just when Lou Nuren was planning to attack the Qiu Lin Ministry, the Qiu Lin Department was also planning how to defend against the revenge from Lou Furen.

Qiu Linyue packed up her clothes, put the air-dried meat in the bag and carried it, picked up her short knife, walked outside the tent, took Ayongga, kissed her, and walked to the tent in the middle. Ayongga is the horse given to him by Zhao Yong, and Ayonga means lightning. It also deserves its name, even with the Huns who kept horses, Ayonga was very fast and extremely enduring. This is also what Qiu Linyue likes about him, and even every time he sees Ayongga, he can think of Zhao Yong.

"Ready?" Seeing that Qiu Linyue was dressed in a strong suit and properly equipped, Qiu Linduoa walked in front of her and dressed up for a long time.

"Hmm." Qiu Linyue nodded, "I returned to the camp with a team of soldiers and let the Qiu Lin tribe move here, but during this period of time, the second brother should be careful." Last time, he let Lou annoy run away, and he will definitely retaliate. ”

"It's okay, if you can't resist it, you will retreat to the camp and don't entangle." Chulindoa said. This is the countermeasure discussed by the two, and Qiu Linyue came forward to return to the camp and bring the soldiers of the entire tribe of Qiu Lin to settle here to prevent Lou from annoying. Although Chu Linduoa felt that this was very risky, but Chu Linyue insisted on doing it, and he couldn't help it, she knew that she was asking for forgiveness from her clan.

"Be careful on the road."

Qiu Linyue nodded, walked out of the tent, and saw that there were already more than twenty people waiting outside. Originally, Qiu Linduoa wanted her to bring more people, but now that he is also employing people, Qiu Linyue also feels that it is not appropriate to bring too many people, because there are only twenty people.

Just as Qiu Linyue got on the horse and was about to leave, he heard someone shouting behind him: "Second, second!" ”

Qiu Linyue turned around, saw Zhuoka who was panting, and asked suspiciously, "Didn't you stay here and wait for me to come back?" ”

Zhuoka lowered his head, rubbed his clothes with both hands, and said glutinously, "I... I want to follow... Go second. ”

Zoka had been in a much better situation since the last time he told Chu Linduoa about Lou Yuan's whereabouts. But this time, Qiu Linyue left, and Zhuoka began to worry about whether he would be threatened by these people. After all, if you are a woman, you can't protect yourself. Instead of this, it is better to follow Qiu Linyue and be safer.

Qiu Linyue looked at her, especially the bag she was carrying behind her, knowing what she was worried about, and after repeatedly asking for her consent, she could only take her on the road.

Winter turns to spring, and the grassland also changes colors. It's just that for the Huns, even in summer, it is still colder. However, Qiu Linyue and the others were still more accustomed to this kind of life, so they didn't care much about it, only Zhuoka, the further north they went, the more difficult they felt to breathe. In fact, the area where the building is located is also a plateau, but the further north you go, the higher the altitude.

Qiu Linyue watched Zhuoka become more and more uncomfortable, so she had to stop and let everyone rest for a while. Seeing that Qiu Linyue had stopped again because of herself, Zhuoka was grateful, and quickly took out a water bag for her to drink. The rest of the crowd also hurried to replenish their food.

At this moment, suddenly a feather arrow broke through the air, and it happened to hit the water bag in Zhuoka's hand, and the water in the water bag flowed down in an instant, but it was too late to exclaim, Qiu Linyue looked back, and on the grass hill not far away, a team of Hun cavalry appeared there!
