Chapter VIII. What is a hero?

Bathed in a pool of blood, even the leaders of the crazy chess rivals around him. For a while, I forgot the strong thoughts I had a moment ago, and looked at Bale who was wiping the knife with the soles of his feet.

Without him, Balak gave them the image. is either heroic and hot-blooded, or calm as a wolf, but he is by no means a person who kills people at will to vent his anger.

Seeing that everyone did not hear his questioning in a daze, Balak asked again in a cold voice: "What were you talking about just now?" ”

When questioning, Bale's expression was extremely cold, and when he looked around, those grassland men who were not afraid of heaven and earth could not help but tremble in their bodies, and their hearts were cold, and most of the anger and even madness of a moment ago disappeared in an instant.

However, the blood hatred of the clansmen, although they were afraid, still made them repeat the advice they had just given to Balak, but their voices were much lower, as if they had done something wrong.

After listening to the nobles and leaders of the Qiu clan, "Bloodbath Shangyuan City, bloodbath capital, bloodbath Dachu." After waiting for the same thing without the slightest constructive opinion, Bale smiled and nodded.

The smile is extremely cold.

It seemed to be in favor, but for some reason, the leaders and nobles of the Qiu clan were even more afraid.

At first, there were also attempts to explain something. He tried to convince Balak, but gradually, no one spoke. Just looked at Balak quietly, waiting for him to speak.

This is Bale, the unquestionable supreme of the Qiu clan. Although the battle of Shangyuan City was frustrated, it did not damage his prestige in the slightest; No matter how madly angry the leaders of the nobles of the Qiu clan were, and what impulses they had, they would never dare to go against Bale's ideas.

Because, it was Bale who led them, after decades of struggle, so that Nanqiu from a dispensable small tribe step by step to become the first tribe of the grassland today, all the power, wealth, and even life they have are given by Bale, and the trust and obedience of Bale have long been in the depths of their souls, even if Bale's Shangyuan City is frustrated, even if Bale makes any decisions, they dare not refute and question.

Even at this time, their relatives and clansmen are buried in their homeland, and most of their wealth and inheritance are destroyed, but it is still the same.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Balak finally spoke slowly.

"You are all the leaders and nobles of my people. You are different from ordinary warriors, you want to lead my Qiu clan step by step to the strong dog, can't you use your brains to do things? .

At first, the voice was calm and calm, but in the back, it had turned into a shrill question.

And around Bale, a group of steppe men listened with their heads down, frightened.

"If we do what you do, even if we can really wash the Shangyuan and the capital with blood, but then what? The Chu people died one, the general, and they will appoint another general, and the emperor died. They will support another emperor and destroy another capital, and they will be able to move the capital elsewhere, and then what will we do? Keep fighting??!! ”

"Even if we don't storm their capital. It's just that we will turn to the Chu realm with the momentum of guerrilla warfare and burn all the villages and counties we see, although it can bring temporary losses to the Chu people, but our guerrilla space will become less and less, and when we fight with the Chu people, our soldiers will also die one less and one less, a few years later. Of course, the Chu Realm will turn into scorched earth, but what about us? How many more will be left??! ”。

"What's more, the Chu Dynasty now has immortal geniuses like Xiao Mo and others, how will he deal with us during this period, and what kind of tricks will he have? Don't forget. Now the Great Wall, ten of the best has fallen into the hands of the Chu people! ”。

"At that time, do you want to watch my Nanqiu clan be destroyed by our hands??!

"The clansmen and relatives were destroyed, and Ben Khan was angry. I also had the idea of dying with the Chu people, don't forget, Ben Khan's mother, two brothers, four children, two wives, and nearly 100 clansmen all stayed in the grassland, and now they don't know whether they are alive or dead!! ”

"But Ben Khan also knows, you must also know that after our clansmen and relatives were killed by the Chu people, you, me, and tens of thousands of sons under our command are already the only foundation left in my Qiu clan, and now what we need to do most is not to die with the Chu people and let the sons die in vain, but to bring this little remaining strength back to the grassland, leaving the last hope for our Qiu tribe for future development!!"

As Balak finished his reasoning. There was silence in the tent of the Great Khan.

Bal sat back on the throne, quietly waiting for everyone's response, and the leaders of the Qiu nobles. They all bow their heads, or thoughtfully, or faintly disagree.

After a long time, a big man struggled for a long time, and finally couldn't help it, knelt down in front of Bale, and asked loudly: "Great Khan, can we just endure the humiliation and steal our lives?" Blood feud of our people. Don't report it? Not only that, but we also have to continue peace talks with those Chu people and accompany them with smiling faces. Nagong is a vassal? ”

Balak shook his head, gritted his teeth and said, "Of course not, we will definitely take revenge." But by no means now, now with the Chu people to the end, just reckless, although the Chu people are cunning and cowardly, but there is a sentence that is right, the gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, this invasion of Chu, the reason why it will fail, is not because of that Xiao Mo, in fact, the sin lies in Ben Khan, because of Ben Khan and my Qiu clan. We are not fully prepared, and when we regain our strength in the future, it will be the time for us to fight with the Chu people and take revenge! ”。

After hearing Bal say this, most of the concubine leaders of the Qiu clan were still full of anger. But I was somewhat convinced. But the big man before, it was the elder brother who asked loudly: "But Great Khan, we have suffered a major injury this time, how many years will it take to recover?" And how many years will it take to get revenge?.

The voice was still loud, but when he thought that the foundation of the Qiu clan for decades had been destroyed, he was faintly choked, and the tears in his eyes flowed uncontrollably.

Hearing this, Balak not only did not feel sad, but stood up and said to the crowd in the loudest voice: "Are you afraid? Are you afraid we'll have to do it all over again? Don't forget, now, no matter what, we still have tens of thousands of sons in our hands, we still have countless grasslands, more than ten years ago, the entire population of my Nanqiu tribe was not more than 10,000. All the grasslands add up to only a thousand hectares, and we can still become grassland dew!! Now we are roaring with a sword"; Years ago? Ben Khan is not yet forty years old, and your age is only the same as Ben Khan, we have time to struggle, and the last thing we are afraid of is to struggle and endure hardships!! ”

After a pause, Bal pointed to the direction of Shangyuan City outside the tent and said again: "What's more, the Chu people are cowardly. Their court is incompetent, although they won this time, but only because of good luck and Xiao Mo, they will only get weaker and weaker in the future. And although our Qiu people were defeated this time, as long as the foundation is still there, we will only get stronger and stronger, one after another, sooner or later, my Great Khan Wang Banner will be planted in the palace of the Chu Emperor Lao'er!! Sooner or later, one day, the harm given to us by the Chu people will be repaid by us a thousand times, and sooner or later, the emperor of the Chu people and Xiao Mo, who has no one in his eyes. Will kneel at our feet and ask for our forgiveness!! ”

With Bale's shouting, most of the noble leaders of the Qiu clan had despair and madness in their eyes. It became a frenzy of hope.

It's like a pack of wild wolves that have made up their minds.

Scary.

At this point, Balak softened his tone and asked, "Do you believe that Ben Khan can lead you to all this?" ”

"Follow the Great Khan!!"

Shouted in unison.

,,,

Seeing the reaction of the crowd, Bal nodded in satisfaction, and then his eyes were fixed, and he looked at the steppe khan who had just opened his mouth to question.

It turned out that in the tent of the Great Khan, when everyone was kneeling and worshipping, he was the only one who slowly stood up.

Seeing this Great Khan like this, some steppe nobles who were similar to him on weekdays also slowly stood up and slowly gathered around this Great Khan.

A trace of sadness flashed in Bale's eyes, and he slowly asked, "Jedan, don't you believe Ben Khan?" ”

Ye Jun, the leader of the Eight Horsemen tribe of the Qiu tribe, the sworn brother of Bale, and also the hardcore supporter of Bale.

Ye Jun showed a similar sadness in his eyes, slowly shook his head, and said, "Brother Great Khan. How could I not believe you? No matter what setbacks you have suffered all these years, I have always stood behind you. ”

"Then why are you?"

Bale's body shuddered slightly, unobtrusively, and asked.

Since Balak unified the Cho tribe, Jedam has never been commensurate with the Balak brothers.

"Brother, I know you're right, but I can't follow you this time" Ye Jun laughed miserably: "You have to fight for the whole." The Qiu clan is responsible, I understand this, but someone must give an explanation to our people who died tragically."

"What do you mean?"

Baller asked slowly.

"I want to follow my original idea, take my sons, continue to stay in the Chu realm, fight with the Chu people, avenge the dead clansmen, give them an explanation, kill one is enough, kill two to earn one, and turn the north and south of the Chu people into scorched earth. Let them also taste the loss of their loved ones, and let them not recover for decades. This can also further weaken the power of the Chu people, and fight for your chance to win in the future Just speaking of this, Ye Jun shook his head and continued: "Brother. I'm sorry, brother, I don't have the patience of you, and letting me endure humiliation and steal my life will only drive me crazy. Don't worry, brother, you don't need to trick me now, I won't affect you, you can tell the Chu people, I have betrayed the Qiu clan, with the character of the Chu people, not only will they not blame you, but will appease you more"

"With Xiao Mo's talent, you can't take advantage,"

Balak shook his head.

"I know, I wasn't going to go back in the first place."

So saying, Jedam knelt down again in front of Balak and "shook his head a few times with unprecedented solemnity." Then he resolutely turned his head and left.

Then, several noble leaders of the Qiu clan who followed behind Ji Dan, like Ye Dan, solemnly knocked behind their backs, followed Ye Jun, and left the Great Khan's tent.

Looking at Yathan's back, Balak's face showed a look of pain, and after struggling for a while, he saw the expressions of the other leaders and nobles in the tent moving and admiration, but finally sighed and waved his hand slowly.

One of the guards beside Balak nodded. Suddenly he raised his voice and said: "Archer, shoot!" ”

With the shouting of this guard, the archers who were lying in ambush outside the tent of the Great Khan suddenly appeared, aimed at Ye Dan and others, and drew their bows and arrows mercilessly.

Then, there were a few screams,

Look at the corpse a few steps away from the Great Khan's tent. And Jertam turned his head in disbelief before he died, and Balak closed his eyes in pain.

"Brother, you have followed me all my life. We said we wanted to share the glory, why did you turn against me at this time?"

Bale could kill anyone, but Jejun couldn't.

This is the consensus of all.

But this consensus, at this moment, was shattered in the hearts of everyone.

In fact, this was the case, and with the relationship between Bale and Yejun, even if Yejun led the army to rebel one day, I am afraid that Balak would have made up his mind to kill him.

Only this time.

The strength of the Qiu clan is not much, and Bal will not allow Ye Jun to waste it in vain.

The most important thing is that after Ye Dan's statement. All the nobles and leaders of the Qiu clan regarded him as a hero, and they were all ready to act like him, and what kind of consequences would brew in the end, Bal would never allow it.

So, Jedam could only die.

After the break, Balak opened his eyes again. The previous pain and hesitation were gone, only a thick indifference and majesty remained.

"Who else would do like Jertham?"

Bale asked.

Naturally, there is no one else.

,,,。

Bi: Well, after the early hours of the morning, there is one more shift.
