In the Cavill salt desert in the province of Sernan, a group of 2,000 slaves marched southwest with difficulty under the escort of 500 large food soldiers, everyone's lips were dry and cracked, the slaves wore shackles on their feet and wooden shackles on their hands, and they struggled to move their steps.

This salt desert was once an inland sea in ancient times, its low terrain, due to the lack of rain and strong surface evaporation, the salt and alkali clumps covered the salt marshes, and it was uninhabited due to lack of water, and there were only a few villages in the surrounding high mountains.

The saline-alkali agglomeration covers the salt marsh land, which looks extremely strong, but in fact it collapses when you step on it, and now it can no longer come out of the salt marsh, and it is impossible for people and animals to pass through it at all.

The lips of a tall slave among the slaves had been parched and cracked, and blood was still oozing out of the cracks, and there was no life in his eyes.

A slave next to him recognized him and began to laugh: "Ha, isn't this General Buranod? Why, have you also fallen into this field? Hahaha・・・・・・ when you led the army to attack us and killed all the people you caught, I didn't expect that life is better than death now, right? ”

This lofty effort was the Guards general Buranod, who was stripped of his military position and title by al-Mansur and demoted to a slave, and he became a victim of al-Mansur's détente with Western Qin, hence his appearance here.

Buranod turned his head and glanced at the person who was laughing at him next to him, he didn't make a sound, his expression was indifferent, he continued to walk forward, and the other slave said to the slave who was laughing at Buranod: "No matter what he did before, now he has become the same slave as us, maybe everyone will have to help each other to survive in the future, now let's save some effort!" ”

While the slaves were struggling to walk, a few small black dots appeared on the bare hill in the distance.

Liu Ren rode on horseback and said to Guderes: "General, I have already sent someone to investigate, there are more than 2,000 slaves who are about to be escorted to Alexandria, all of them were ours, and among these people, there is a person you will never think of in it, do you want to know who he is?" ”

Guderes asked, "Who?" ”

"Buranod!"

"Who?" Guderes was taken aback: "Who do you say?" Buranod? How could he be here? You're not kidding, are you? ”

Liu Ren shook his head and smiled: "I'm not kidding, in order to solve the border confrontation between the east and the north, and free up troops to deal with the Eastern Roman Empire and Salad, you had to sacrifice Buranod, deprive him of his military power and title, and demote him to slavery!" Now he's among those slaves! ”

"Ha, haha, hahaha・・・・・・" Guderes laughed, and finally said angrily: "It's just right, this time I want him to know completely how good I am, and I want to scrape him alive to relieve the hatred in my heart!" ”

Liu Ren hurriedly said: "General, we are not here to scrape Buranod this time, but to rescue him and these people!" ”

Guderes said angrily: "Of course I would like to solve these of our people, but I don't understand why we want to rescue Branod, he is our enemy, if it weren't for him, how could we have lost so badly?" An army of 80,000 people, he was beaten until there were only 7,000 left! ”

Liu Ren persuaded: "General, you are a person who wants to do great things, and you are also destined to achieve great things, you must have a broad mind, if you let the world know that you can forgive your enemies and entrust you with important tasks, I think many people in the Great Food Country will follow you and serve Allah!" ”

Guderes was a little dazed by this sentence and smiled, but he quickly shouted: "What, you asked me to entrust Buranod with a heavy responsibility? How is this possible? ”

Liu Ren said: "General, Buranod was once the commander of the guards of the Great Food Caliph Mansur, he has a high military talent and talent, you must know that it is not a fluke that he can defeat you, if he can be used by the general, what are you afraid of in the future?" General, if you want to achieve great things, you must have people around you, you can't do it alone, you have to have someone to help you, and Buranod is obviously a useful person for you! ”

Guderes looked at Liu Ren a little helplessly, since he had an experience in Hua Thorn Zimo, he began to become a little afraid of Liu Ren, this Liu Ren is too mysterious, he actually called Brother and Brother of Hua Thorn Zimo, and also hooked up with the commander of the Eighth Army of Western Qin and laughed obscenely, which made Liu Ren feel frightened when he looked at him.

"Okay, okay, even if I don't hold a grudge against Buranod and don't care about how he treated me like that, I have the heart to entrust him with a heavy responsibility, but I also need him to agree to serve me!"

Liu Ren said with a smile: "Leave this matter to me, I guarantee that he can serve you!" Now it's your turn to act, rush down with your sons, kill the Great Eaters, and free Buranod and your former men! ”

Guderes nodded, raised his hand and waved forward, and more than a thousand cavalrymen behind him slowly rode over, and a long row of black shadows soon appeared on the hill.

With a bang, Guderes pulled out the scimitar at his waist and shouted at Yizhi: "Followers and warriors of Allah, rush down with me to kill our enemies and deliver our brothers, Allah!" ”

"Allah!" Everyone yelled, weapons raised, and Guderes rode down the hill.

"There's an ambush, there's an ambush, get ready to meet the enemy・・・・・" The Great Eclipse cavalry, who was escorting the slaves, began to shout.

Before the Great Eclipse officers and troops had time to assemble to meet the battle, Guderes had already rushed over with his men and horses, and shot arrows one after another.

A fierce battle unfolded on the salt marshes, and the slaves were shackled and shackled, unable to escape, but crouched and prayed that their swords would not fall on them, while keeping an eye on the carnage.

Guderes was finally victorious, and all the 500 cannibal cavalry escorting the slaves were killed, but he also killed more than 200 people, and he lost so many people in the case of a sneak attack, which shows that the combat effectiveness of his troops and horses is not very good.

"It's the general, the general has come to save us, oh, Allah, I'm not dreaming, am I?"

All the slaves cheered, their shackles and shackles were opened, and they were all freed and began to help the soldiers clean the battlefield, drink and eat.

Guderes walked up to Buranod with the hilt of his knife and asked, "Buranod, do you still know me?" ”

When Buranod saw that it was Guderes, he said calmly: "Kill me!" ”

Braynod's reaction stunned Guderes, who originally wanted to forgive his sins as a victor in front of Branod, but he didn't expect this guy to be bent on begging for death.

Guderes: "You ・・・・・・ you want to die?" I didn't say I was going to kill you, so let's do it, you swear allegiance to me, I'll spare your life, and I'll be my best fighter!" What do you think? ”

Buranod looked at Gudereth like an idiot: "Let me be loyal to a defeated man, do you think this is possible?" ”

"You ・・・・・・ you bold, believe it or not, I will order you to be killed immediately!" Gudris said angrily.

Liu Ren rode over and shouted, "Slow down, slow down!" General, let me talk to General Buranod! ”

"Okay, I'll hand over this nasty guy to you, I hope you can make your attitude towards me a little better, otherwise I won't be able to control my emotions, and the consequences will be serious!"

Buranod was taken to a tent that had just been erected by Liu Ren, and had his shackles and wooden flail untied for him, which surprised Buranod a little, and he asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" You must know that a few of the guards here are not my opponents, I can deal with them in an instant, and then kill you! ”

Liu Ren smiled: "What good will it do you for the general to kill me?" ”

"This ・・・・・・," Buranod was dumbfounded, but he quickly said, "If you want to convince me to pledge allegiance to Guderes, you better not waste your saliva, I will not pledge allegiance to my defeated generals!" ”

Liu Ren said: "Your Excellency General, everyone in this world has their own strengths and weaknesses, and if you want to achieve a career, you must give full play to your strengths in order to stand out." Your strength lies in your military talent, you have a lot of combat experience, but if you are not a general, you will not have a chance to turn around in the future, I admit that Guderes is inferior to you in military talent, but you should know that Mansour's military talent is not very good, why did you be loyal to him in the first place? ”

Buranod said: "This is different, Mansur has the demeanor and temperament of a king, he is the representative of Allah Allah in the world!" ”

"But this representative of Allah on earth sacrificed you! If you must choose someone with the temperament and demeanor of a king to surrender, I can recommend someone to you! ”

"Guderes? He'll forget it! ”

"It's not him!" Liu Ren shook his head.

The two talked for a long time in the tent, and when Gudereth saw Buranod again, he found that he was talking and laughing with Liu Renyou, and the relationship was so good that he had been a good friend for many years.

After Buranod was led by the soldiers to eat and drink, Goodres was stunned and pointed to Buranod's back and asked, "Daoist Liu, what did you tell him?" He seems to be a different person? ”

Liu Ren looked mysterious: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed!" ”
