Under the vast snowy peaks, the autumn grass grows and spreads into the distance, as if endless. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoLike a river, it winds eastward with a cold green sky. A long migratory tribe, along the banks of the river, retrograde to the north.

In late autumn, such migratory tribes are not uncommon, but the difference is that most of them migrate from north to south, and reverse migration is rare. Of course, it would not be surprising if you knew the origin of this tribe.

Morton, the Khan Department.

Morton originally planned to move about a thousand miles, but the Han army of the Duhufu gnawed the bones he had dropped, so he would not go deep into the Gobi to find trouble for him. Unexpectedly, none of the Gibbs who went to cast the bait came back, which revealed two important information: First, the Han army was dispatched quickly, and the reaction of the capital protectorate was shocking. The second is that whether Gibb lives or dies, it is possible to reveal that he is the real black hand of Morton.

With such a realization, how dare Morton stay within the strike range of the Metropolitan Protectorate? Keep running, at least another thousand miles! It became the consensus of the whole Khan tribe. As a result, the entire Ba Khan continued to move north.

At the moment, the population of the Ba Khan is not large. Before the destruction of Zhizhi City, Morton saw the wind and turned the rudder, pulled his legs and slipped away, saving nearly 100 young and strong soldiers of the tribe, but the rest of the women, children, slaves and other tribal wealth were all lost in Zhizhi City. Fortunately, for the Huns, youth and strength are the greatest wealth, and it is the wealth that can "make money with wealth".

Morton relied on these nearly 100 young people, all the way east, all the way to plunder, constantly annexing small tribes, snowballing, slowly expanding. After a few years, it became a medium-sized tribe with thousands of people. Originally, Morton planned to settle down on the territory of the Wujie people, anyway, the Wujie land is vast and sparsely populated, and a tribe of several thousand people is considered very powerful, and it is not difficult to revisit the past prosperity. It's just that I never expected that a white disaster that has not been encountered for decades will knock the Dian Khan Department back to its original shape at once.

After a harsh winter, more than half of the thousands of people died of cold and starvation, and there was not one in ten cattle, sheep, horses, and camels, and the strength of the Han tribe was drastically reduced. Morton had no choice but to go further east until he reached the vicinity of Qiuzi, where his tribe numbered less than a thousand. The warriors and slaves who could be used as combat power were only in their early 200s. This bit of strength, not to mention the Great Han Protectorate, he didn't even dare to provoke the Guizi Kingdom.

This successful ambush and capture of nearly 700 Han people and Ban merchants was Morton's biggest gain in recent years, as long as the fruits of this victory were digested, the strength of the Han Khan could be directly raised to the peak. Therefore, Morton could not give up this spoils no matter what. Not to mention moving two thousand miles, even if he moves another two thousand miles, he will not hesitate to do it.

At dusk, the migratory team galloped and reported to Morton: "Gudu Hou, that Ban Han has something to say. ”

The long-distance migration is still relatively boring, and Morton is also bored, nodding: "Let him come over and see what he says." ”

Ban Xing, under the watchful eye of the two Huns, galloped over. Now he no longer needs to be bound, after all, he has entered the grassland from the Gobi thousands of miles away. In this vast grassland, even if you are allowed to run, where can you run?

After more than a month, the class was obviously much haggard, his hair was unkempt and tangled, and his face was full of dust and frost, as if he was ten years old. There is only one pair of eyes, still shining with indomitable and wise.

Seeing Morton, Ban Xing arched his hand: "I've seen a nobleman." ”

"What's the matter with you?"

"Ban Xing wants to ask the nobles, is this transaction still done?"

Morton sank his face: "Did I say not to do it?" ”

"But now that we are going farther and farther, it is getting harder and harder to carry out this deal...... Moreover, along the way, there were people who fell ill and died due to fatigue, lack of food and clothing, and lack of adaptation to water and soil. It's only been more than a month, and twenty-three people have already died because of it! Ban Xing's expression was excited, and he forced himself to suppress, "Morton noble, the longer the transaction drags on, the more difficult it will be." Moreover, the greater the damage to your property - twenty-three people, worth a hundred horses. If you continue like this, you'll lose even more horses! ”

Morton raised his hand to stop Hu Cong's intention to make a move, with a gloomy face, of course he knew the purpose of Ban Xing's words, but he also had to admit that the other party had a point.

"You think I don't want to trade early? You think I want to see property damage? Morton snorted angrily, "If it weren't for the fact that the Protectorate chased too hard, I would be like this?" ”

"After a month, the land is more and more thousand, and it is impossible for the Han army to pursue it no matter what. Ban Xing asks your nobles to arrange the transaction as soon as possible, which is beneficial to you and me. ”

Morton was silent for a while, and finally felt a little moved, Ban Xing's suggestion was indeed tempting, he pondered for a while, and said: "Okay, in recent years, the **** will let Qu Tu discuss this matter with you and come up with a suitable method." ”

Ban Xing thanked him: "Thank you for your understanding, Ban Xing guarantees that you will never regret this decision...... There is one more thing in the future, please be gracious. ”

"Say."

"It's Deng Zhan and Brother Deng...... Please be merciful. Seeing that Morton's expression was not good, Ban Xing hurriedly explained, "Brother Deng broke two ribs and was covered with bruises, all relying on a good foundation, so he could hold on." But if the nobleman is heavy-handed again, even if he is beaten with iron, he will ...... Ban Xing is willing to pay a ransom of 100 catties for Brother Deng, and ask the nobles to show mercy. ”

Morton stared at Ban Xing for a long time, and the latter was undaunted and his eyes were calm.

Morton waved his hand: "I said, this person, don't redeem!" ”

Ban Xing pleaded again: "Your nobleman ......"

"Needless to say, what I, Morton, have said, are as good as gold as your emperor." Morton waved his men to drive Ban Xing away.

When Ban Xing turned around helplessly, Morton's lazy voice came from behind him: "Tell your companions that these **** can raise your body...... However, I can't take it long, and if one day my hands itch again, he will ask for more blessings. ”

Ban Xing turned around in surprise and bowed deeply, although he also understood in his heart that Morton was not kind, but was afraid that Deng Zhan would die and would have no chance of playing, but no matter what, he finally won a glimmer of life. At the moment, there is no other way but to take one step at a time and make every effort to save Deng Zhan's life first. As long as people are still there, there are opportunities.

As soon as Ban Xing turned around, he heard the sound of hurried hooves in front of him, and his heart jumped, but he didn't turn around, didn't turn his head, just pricked up his ears.

Behind him, there was a report from the Xiongnu sentry: "Gudu Hou, there is a migratory tribe from the north, there are seven or eight hundred people. Qu Tu asked Gu Duhou, how to deal with it? ”

It is common for various tribes to encounter during migration, and there are generally two results: if the strength is equal, the wine will be happy; The disparity in strength shows its fangs. There are seven or eight hundred people on the other side, which is considered to be the same strength, and Morton quickly has a plan: "Let's go, follow me to have a look." ”

The sound of hooves behind him was far away, and Ban Xing rode his horse slowly, his brain turned rapidly, and an idea jumped out, and his eyes became brighter and brighter...... (To be continued.) )
