At this time, Chu Huan finally understood why everyone in the Golden Dome Tent, including Maha Hide, looked so solemn, and also understood why some people's eyes showed a worried look.

Even if there is no Zhula tribe from the south, just to deal with the Mahara army, the Gulaqin grassland is already very difficult, and now the Zhula tribe is brazenly gathering troops and horses, ready to be caught from the south, the situation is already quite grim.

"What is the eldest prince going to do?" There was silence in the big tent, and after a while, Chu Huan finally asked softly: "Attacking from both sides, it is difficult to take care of both the beginning and the end, and the eldest prince naturally has already made arrangements." ”

Mahazang sat on the chair, silent, and Sohabu Yuanzhen finally clenched his fists and said, "What if the Zhula tribe is attacked? In the past, the warriors of our Gulaqin grassland once killed the people and horses on the banks of the drinking water river and cried their fathers and mothers, and this time they came over, but it was just a reenactment of the original scene. Our ancestors were able to terrify the hearts of the Jura tribe, and so can we! ”

Chu Huan wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after all.

Mahazang said: "Brother Chu, this is a critical moment, if you have any suggestions, please put them forward." ”

"The eldest prince is gracious." Chu Huan shook his head and said: "This is the war of your grassland, after all, I am from the Qin State, if I get involved, I am afraid of ......!" ”

Mahazang said solemnly: "Brother Chu forgot, you are not only the envoy of the Qin State now, but also the concubine of our Golden Nashi Clan, and your wife Qiluo is from our Xiliang. ”

Chu Huan was stunned, and then Sbogully glanced at Chu Huan, frowned slightly, and didn't say anything after all.

At this moment, a report came from outside the tent, and the Sboguli asked people to come in, and the person said: "Report to the eldest prince and patriarch, the Tur beggar tribe betrayed Gulaqin and went to the northeast." ”

"What?" Everyone present was taken aback, and the Sbogully rushed over, picked up the man, and shouted angrily: "What do you say, Turbeg betrayed us? ”

The man said, "The Harvest Breath Department has just gathered here, and the Harvest Breath Patriarch is waiting outside!" ”

"Let him in."

Soon, a young man in his forties came in and knelt on the ground: "The patriarch of the Bronze Harvest Tribe, Tugula, see the king, see the patriarchs!" ”

"Tugula, the Turbeg tribe betrayed us, but really?" That Sbogully was torn apart.

Tugula said solemnly: "The great patriarch, Tur beggar Mijin ordered all the bronze tribes to assemble, claiming that it was ordered by the great patriarch and the great official, and I gathered the men and horses of the Avatar Tribe, but there was also an order that not only the men should be assembled, but also the men, women and children of the clan, as well as all the livestock and the Wuzi should be assembled in Turbeg. The little one noticed that something was wrong, but he still did as they said, and secretly sent people to inquire, and got the news that Tur beggar had gathered his men and horses, not to come to the Nashi tribe, but to take all the people and cattle to the Mahara. ”

The rest of the tent were furious, but Mahazang looked very calm and asked, "Are they gone?" ”

"When I learned the news, I led my people to this side quickly, and after Tur Beggars knew about it, they also sent a group of men and horses to chase after them, and they were repelled by the warriors of our Raiding Tribe." Tugula Zhengse said: "Later, I sent someone to investigate quietly, Tur Beggars have already taken most of the men and horses to the northeast, thirteen bronze tribes, only I came here with the Harvest tribe, and the others left with Tur Beggar Mijin." ”

That Sbogully's eyes erupted with anger, and he said angrily: "The old and cunning Tur beggar, he used to seem to be extremely loyal, who knew that at such a time, he actually betrayed us!" ”

Mahazang said, "Don't be annoyed, only at this time will you know who your true friends are." He actually said to Chu Huan calmly: "Under the banner of the Nashi tribe, there are five major silver tribes, and the Turqi tribe is one of them, and now he has taken all the tribes he belongs to, and our strength is a little weaker." ”

That Sbogully turned around, crossed his arms to his chest, and said apologetically: "Great Prince, this is the shame of our Gulaqin steppe, and it is also my Spogully's incompetence, I ask for your punishment!" ”

Mahazang waved his hand and said, "Uncle doesn't need to blame himself. Everyone has their own ambitions, and since Tur is willing to follow Mahara, let him follow. "Mahazang originally only relied on the Gulaqin grassland to fight with Mahaluo, and now the Gulaqin grassland has betrayed a silver tribe, which is equivalent to Mahazang's strength being greatly weakened, but Mahazang still maintains a calm attitude at the moment, Chu Huan looked at it, but felt that this Mahazang really had a somewhat immobile temperament.

"Prince, I'll gather all my men and horses, catch up with Tur and kill all those traitors." ”

"Don't lose the big with the small." Mahazang shook his head and said, "For the sake of the Turbeg tribe, it is absolutely impossible to disrupt our deployment. Staring at the map, he finally said: "Attacking from both sides, with our strength, we can't go head-to-head, so we can only retreat for the time being." ”

"Retreat?" Everyone in the tent was stunned, this battle was not fought, how could Mahazang think of the word "retreat".

When Chu Huan heard this, he bowed slightly, but he agreed with the meaning of Mahazang.

Knowing that the tiger and wolf are in front and their strength is not good, they still have to fight with it, that is, the courage of the horseman and his own destruction, Chu Huanxin is also thinking that he should avoid the edge for the time being.

"Prince, where are we going?"

Mahazang inspected the map, Chu Huan was also searching on the map at this time, Mahazang looked at it for a moment, looked up and asked Chu Huan: "Brother Chu, where do you think you should retreat?" ”

Chu Huan smiled and just said, "Everything is still up to the eldest prince!" ”

Seeing Chu Huan's calm expression, Mahazang felt that Chu Huan seemed to have something in his heart, looked at Chu Huan and said: "Brother Chu, once you defeat Mahara this time, I, Mahazang, will definitely thank you again, as long as you want something, I Mahazang can take it out, and I will definitely give it away." ”

Chu Huan hurriedly said: "The eldest prince misunderstood, Chu had no such intention. It's just that this matter is related to the eldest prince and even the national fortune of Xiliang, Chu Huan is just an outsider, even if he has any ideas, it is inconvenient to say more! ”

Mahazang had already stood up, took Chu Huan's arm, and walked outside the tent, everyone didn't know what he meant for a while, and followed him outside the tent, but Mahazang had already raised his hand and pointed to the sky, and said: "The sky is above, today I Mahazang and Chu Huan want to form a good brother, under the witness of the sky, I am willing to stay with Chu Huan's blood, and never lose each other!" He shouted, "Fetch the bowl!" ”

Someone immediately took the porcelain bowl, Mahazang had already pulled out the saber on his waist, and before everyone could react, the sharp blade had already cut his wrist, and everyone was taken aback, Chu Huan also changed slightly, but saw that Mahazang had already put his wrist against the porcelain bowl, blood dripping, looked at Chu Huan, and asked: "Brother Chu, I Mahazang sincerely want to form a brother in life and death with you, are you willing to be a brother in life and death with me!" His face was solemn at the moment, and he looked very sincere.

Mahazang's move came very suddenly, and Chu Huan didn't come back to his senses for a while.

He knew that Mahazang had a good impression of him, and when Mahazang was in Daqin, he helped him twice, but he didn't expect that Mahazang would suddenly become a brother with him today.

Mahazang did things unexpectedly, although Chu Huan's psychological quality was not weak, he was also a little stunned for a while, seeing that everyone in the surroundings was also looking at him with a surprised look, Chu Huan frowned slightly, but Mahazang let the blood drip into the bowl, stared at Chu Huan's eyes, and asked, "Brother Chu, do you look down on me?" ”

Chu Huan saw the blood on his wrist dripping rapidly, and said with a wry smile: "Eldest Prince, you ...... What are you doing here? ”

"Mahazang has always been happy to do things." Mahazang said solemnly: "I originally wanted to wait until the Mahara was pacified before I became a brother with you, but you treat yourself as an outsider everywhere, and I have to do this!" He handed the knife in his hand to Chu Huan, and asked again: "Do you want to be a brother with me, a man from Xiliang, Brother Chu chooses by himself!" ”

Chu Huan groaned slightly, and finally smiled helplessly, took the scimitar, and also cut his wrist, the two wrists touched together, and the blood of the two fell on a porcelain bowl, and soon, Maha Zang laughed out loud, withdrew his hand, and someone next to him had already come up to apply medicine and bandage, Maha Zang had already said loudly: "Pour wine!" ”

Chu Huan withdrew his hand, and someone next to him stepped forward to help with dressing and bandaging, someone stepped forward in the blood bowl to reach most of the bowl of spirits, the spirits and blood were mixed together, a rainbow, Maha Zang took the wine bowl, raised his head and drank half of it, wiped the corners of his mouth, and handed the wine bowl to Chu Huan, Chu Huan could only take it, and drank the rest of the blood wine, Maha Zang hugged Chu Huan, he was tall, much more burly and strong than Chu Huan, hugged Chu Huan and patted Chu Huan's back hard, and then said to everyone around: "The sky is above, you can also see it, from now on, Chu Huan is my Mahazang's brother of life and death, and he will never lose each other! ”

The expressions of the people in Xiliang around were wonderful, and no one could have imagined that the eldest prince would have one more sworn brother in a daze, and this sworn brother turned out to be the original person, no matter what he thought at the moment, he could only salute Chu Huan with his arms crossed.

That Sbogully finally said: "The eldest prince, the military situation is urgent, how to arrange it, and ask the eldest prince to give orders!" ”

Mahazang asked Chu Huan, "Good brother, you just looked at the map, how do you think we should retreat?" ”

Chu Huan hesitated for a moment, thinking that Mahazang claimed that he would never lose up, and his attitude seemed to be very sincere, and he didn't know what Mahazang thought in his heart, but since he was a righteous brother, he proposed to Mahazang in this capacity not to intrude on Great Qin in the future, but he didn't know if Mahazang would agree?

However, as Popguli said, the current military situation is urgent, and if he wants to ask for something about Mahazang in the future, he can also put forward some of his own opinions at the moment and give Mahazang some help.

He turned around and entered the tent, and everyone followed, and when he walked to the side of the desk, Chu Huan pointed to a place in the western part of the Gulaqin grassland on the map and said, "Big Prince, it seems that this is a mountain!" ”

"That's Montenegro!" "But there are only a few bare earth mountains, which cannot be used as a natural barrier. ”

"Looking at the Gulaqin grassland, it seems that there are all flat rivers, and there are not many places that can be used as barriers." Chu Huan said slowly: "Although this is a dirt mountain, it is also the only place that can be used now, of course...... If we really want to talk about the barrier, we can retreat to the great desert before the Jura tribe in the south blocks the retreat, and the advantage of Mahara's cavalry in the desert will be lost. ”

"Great desert?" That Sbogully sneered: "It is true that Mahara's army will not pose much of a threat to us in the Great Desert, but without Mahara's action, we ourselves will die in the Great Desert." ”

"Then it can only be this Black Mountain." Chu Huan said calmly: "The main force of Mahara is the Tariq cavalry corps, plus the 10,000 cavalry of Babaitu, what really poses a mortal threat to us is these two cavalry corps, fighting on the flat grassland, and the eldest prince has little hope of winning. Pointing to the black mountain on the map, he said: "Under the current situation, this black mountain is really given by God to the eldest prince." The eldest prince, please see, this black mountain is not connected together, but undulates in three places, that is, there are three points, forming a zigzag, and the main mountain between them and the horned mountains on both sides are suitable for defense. This Montenegro does not need to be precipitous, as long as it occupies Montenegro, it will be difficult for the cavalry to give full play to its advantages......! At this point, there was a pause, thoughtful.

Mahazang was already in a hurry: "Brother Chu, you continue." ”

Chu Huan looked left and right, and saw that everyone was looking at him, and then he said: "Great prince, if you have enough troops, you can completely garrison troops and horses on the three mountains, unless Mahara is willing to let his army be surrounded by three people and horses as dumplings...... Well, if nothing else, his soldiers and horses will be divided into three ways! ”

"Why do you want to split into three paths?" That Sbogully couldn't help but ask.

He didn't have a good impression of Chu Huan, but at this moment, he vaguely felt that what Chu Huan said seemed to give him some clue about the strategy for dealing with Mahara, and he couldn't help but listen attentively.

The war between the grassland tribes is usually a competition of hard power, although there are also means such as surprise attacks, but for the Xiliang people, the most common means of war is still head-to-head, unlike the original people with military deceit, ambush, sneak attack, detour, deception and other means in turn. In the face of the enemy, most of them rushed forward without hesitation, fearless of death, and there were not many people who could be proficient in the art of war in the Western Liang Kingdom, although it was not nothing, but it was very rare.

Although Sboguli is capable and brave, but when it comes to the way of using soldiers, it is really very shallow, at this time, I heard Chu Huan say that Mahaluo's army should be divided into three roads, I couldn't understand it for a while, and I couldn't help asking.

Chu Huan said: "Great Patriarch, the ultimate purpose of Mahara to send troops this time is for the eldest prince. ”

Mahazang said: "Being able to capture me alive is naturally what he wants to do the most, otherwise if he gets my body, I don't think he will be disappointed." ”

"Therefore, the troops in Montenegro are distributed among the three hills, and if each hill is marked with the flag of the great prince, Mahala will capture the eldest prince, and he will definitely not let go of any of the mountains." Chu Huan's fingertips crossed the three mountains: "He must divide his troops into three ways." Although the three mountains of Montenegro were not far from each other, they were enough for Mahara's army to divide into three parts, forming three separate battlefields. ”

Mahazang bowed his head slightly and said, "You mean, you want to use Black Mountain to resist Mahara?" ”

"Compared to the rest of the Gulaqin Grassland, this should be the only place where you can use it to resist the Mahara army at the moment, and even the place where the Great Prince may turn defeat into victory." Chu Huan said solemnly.
