Chapter 6 Holding the Lance (3 Middle)

The battle that took place in the middle of the night ended with the complete defeat of the thirteen tribes of the Xia tribe, including Sheto, Bizhi, Yutu, and Yeli, but the fate of the defeated was very different from any time Dani remembered. The males of the Zhuxia tribe were not tied up and killed by the other party after surrendering. Women were also not singled out to be redistributed like animals. The man who led his subordinates to "fly" over the Motianling and Liuhua River put down the butcher's knife in the middle of the battle, and very generously accepted the surrender conditions put forward by the elders such as Isher Toshago and Bishi Namiye: not a single person will be killed, and all the cattle, sheep and livestock will not be taken.

He even did more generously than the elders demanded, and as soon as the verbal agreement was reached, he immediately led the army to retreat to the other side of the Liuhua River, as if he was not afraid of the elders backing up.

"Only a very confident strong person would do that. He believed that he could control the situation, and even if he repented of it, he would be able to knock them over again! Many days later, Dani, who had a special mission, listened to her father explain the victor's actions in admiration. The tribes of the steppe do not blindly regard cruelty as a virtue, they just believe that kindness must be backed by great strength. In the oral epic of the Murwei elders, it was only a long, long time ago, when the ancestor of the Murwei tribe, the Great Batel, had just established a tribe that the mercy of those who surrendered was not killed. Because in the Immortal World, no man can defeat Big Battle. He is not afraid of the opponent regaining his vitality, nor is he afraid of the opponent's revenge, he is the designated king of the Immortal Heaven, and he will never be defeated! And it was because of this strength and tolerance that the surrounding tribes took refuge under the command of Great Battell, thus establishing their common Murowei tribe.

Is that man as powerful as the ancestors of the Murowe? Dani didn't dare to think so. She didn't have the courage to compare real people with legendary sons of gods. But she clearly remembered that on the morning of the defeat and surrender of her husband, Lao Shetoshage, the man who "flown down" from the mountain in the middle of the night with only about 40 guards approached the tribal company camp with nearly 70,000 people. He sat in front of the elders such as Shetoshago and Bishi Namiye like relatives, and drank with the vanquished.

When she took the milk wine she handed over, Dani remembered that the other party actually dipped the wine with her fingers according to the etiquette of the steppe people, and offered it to the Immortal Heaven, the Immortal Earth, and all the heroic spirits guarding the sky above the tribe. Then raise the lamp and drink freely. All his actions are calm and noble, and he even remembers to return the salute to himself as a junior, and with a frank smile in his eyes.

Ever since marrying Shetoshago, who was nearly forty years older than herself, Dani had never seen such a candid smile in the eyes of any man her age. There is no lust and evil thoughts, there is only an appreciation for the beauty of women.

"This man is different!" On her first impression, Dani was full of affection for the winner. "No wonder he can do things that no one else can!" Gazing up the other's fingers, she saw the thick arms and bulging flesh beneath the leather armor, stronger than any man in the tribe, stronger than any man in the tribe. And his size, even if you turn over all the men of the thirteen tribes, you can't find a second one as tall as him. Such a man who is as calm as a mountain and as solid as a mountain, any woman who follows him is a lifelong happiness without regrets.

"We can give orders to withdraw our own people at the request of the Attached Lord. But Su Si's Ah Lan can't control it. Susi's Attachment and his men are walking with Bone Thoru Khan, so we can't follow the Attachment Lord to fight against our own people! As she bowed her head to refill the guest's wine, Dani heard Elder Namiha, who didn't know what to do, say. Although she belonged to the same camp as her, she still had the urge to smash the silver pot of wine directly on Namiha's face. According to the rules of the grassland, since everyone has surrendered, and the attached lord has accepted the surrender of the group, the defeated should show some consciousness of the defeated, and only the horse head of the attached lord is to look forward.

At that time, she peeked at the strong man who was called by the elders to be attached with some trepidation, thinking that the other party would be angry immediately. If that's the case, maybe Naya will have to take responsibility for the wrong words he said with his life. Surprisingly, the detachment was not angry. He just smiled and nodded to the crowd, then promised, "I don't need the Samurai of the Hale Clan to fight for me. You don't need to kill each other. Everyone only needs to retreat to the shore of the Crescent Lake, and tell all the tribes they encounter along the way, the Central Plains people have already prepared. I can act as if this battle didn't happen at all. The elders can also act as if this battle did not happen. As for the losses caused by your trip to the Central Plains, we can slowly calculate it in the future. ”

Before the elders could come back to their senses in surprise, the Attachment from the Central Plains stood up with a smile and cut a piece of meat from the plate in front of each elder with a short knife stuck in the sheep's back. Each knife is cut down, the depth is just right, together with the outermost fat that has been rotten to the innermost part of the three-dimensional flesh that is still covered with blood, a layer does not fall, so that each piece of meat contains several layers from the fattest and thickest to the most tender and fresh.......

He was the warrior of the steppe. For a moment, Dani, who was carefully observing the guests' every move, didn't feel a little dizzy. Among the people present, the youngest was the guest who left. Therefore, he saluted each clan elder with the gift of the younger generations of his clan! The panic and grief in the eyes of those elders softened almost instantly, and they picked up the tray in front of them for a long time before they took the first bite of meat into their mouths and chewed slowly.

Lamb cooked improvised by the defeated in humiliation certainly doesn't taste very good. But the elders ate very carefully. It was as if they were tasting the mutton and the taste of each other's words at the same time.

The taste was bitter and sweet, as fiery as mare's milk wine, and as tough as a scimitar on the prairie. The vanquished do not have to bear any responsibility, they do not have to pay any price. In the world of immortality, no tribe has ever encountered such a good thing. But is it possible? Is it a fool to attach a lady? Or did he not care about the insignificant power of the tribes of the Clan?

"Crescent Lake is far from the Great Wall, and even if you walk in a straight line, you will have to walk for at least half a month. For so many years, I don't remember any place where the people of the Central Plains could not live in the Hazebu. Looking at the ever-changing expressions of the elders on the table clock, Li Xu said with a bit of complaint. He remembered all the traditions of the people and all the etiquette of the people. In fact, at a certain time, he almost considered the people of his own kind. Although the idea is actually wishful thinking.

"Attached, attached, attached, the Lord is very right! This, this time it is indeed the descendants of the white swan who did not do it right! "Elder Na Miye rarely admitted his mistake once, and his old face turned red. Every blood vessel is clearly visible on the forehead. "But the grassland, the grassland suffered for two years, and the disaster was very, very serious. So, so everyone, they are a little greedy......."

"If my home is hit by a disaster, can I go to my friend's house and rob it?" Li Xu took Na Miye's words and continued to ask. While questioning the other party, the knife under his hand did not stop moving at all, and no matter which elder's plate became empty, a neatly cut tender meat was immediately served.

That neat knife skill, I'm afraid most of the young people in the tribe can't do it. First, they don't have the strong wrist strength of the other party, and second, they won't have the calm mentality of the other party. The knife is bone-piercing, and the fresh blood flows along the tip of the knife, dripping with half-cooked mutton, exuding the unique sweet taste of grassland food. There is heroism in the roughness, and there is atmosphere in the savagery. You don't have to eat it, but it's already enjoyable to appreciate this skillful knife skill.

The old fox Na Miha didn't have the leisure to admire Asahiko's sword skills as Dani did, and he was a little stupid and couldn't think of the words to pick up the other party's words. The law of the jungle is indeed a matter of course on the grassland. Therefore, the Xia tribe has suffered a disaster, and it is reasonable to find a tribe that is not as strong as itself to pass on the losses. But the problem at the moment is that the tribe of the Central Plains is obviously much stronger than the tribes of the Xia tribe, if you say anything about the bastard of the jungle, the other party will bite the words, and the end of the tribes of the Xia tribe will be like the boiled fat sheep in the tray of the other party.......

Settle accounts slowly. There are countless tricks in this account. If you don't learn about this matter while the iron is hot today, Ashina Bone Toru will also be defeated at the hands of Lord Fuli.......

"It's no wonder that you are attached to your lordship. We were also confused for a while, and listened to the incitement of the Ashina family! I thought the Central Plains was empty. "It's the first time I've dealt with Li Xu, and I don't know the depth of the other party. Seeing that he was still willing to sit down and negotiate with the power of a great victory, he had the idea of luck in his heart and replied in place of Elder Miye.

Xuzi's words were immediately like a knife, and the knife cut at this person's salvation. "Yes, you are confused for a while, listening to the incitement of others. I don't know how many people are left in the old camp on the shore of Crescent Lake after the tribe moved south. It's not a void of time and space. If passers-by also listen to the incitement of others, and are confused for a while, do you not know if you still have a home to go back to? ”

"That!" The elders looked bitter. When they went south, they really didn't think of going back. But now that the war has been defeated, it must be turned back again, in case someone takes the opportunity to attack, I am afraid that the entire Xia clan will face annihilation.

"I remember that the north of the Xia tribe is the Murowei tribes, the south is the Rushui Zhuxi, the east is the Khitan and the Yan, and the west is the Turks. You followed the Turks to the south, I don't know if the Murwei, Khitan, and Ya tribes also followed? At the moment when everyone was anxious and inexplicable, Li Xu continued to ask.

"This?" Everyone was even more nervous, and beads of sweat on their foreheads were pouring outward one after another. As far as everyone knows, the only tribes that followed Gutoru Khan to the south were those who were closer to the Turks. Some timid tribes have shirked the distance and lack of food, so they have been slow to take action.

If everyone wins the battle to the south, naturally those small tribes will not be able to turn up the big storms. But everyone lost, and the news of the great loss of power would soon spread like the wind on the grassland.

Silence, suffocating silence. Facing Li Xu, who was constantly toasting and toasting, the elders of the Xia clan actually forgot who was the master of this room for a while. After being silent for half an hour, the mutton on the tray in front of them was coagulated with a layer of white and greasy, and the elders used their eyes to nominate a representative and asked Li Xu to show everyone a way out.

They were originally the vanquished, and it was already the grace of the Immortal Heaven to have the opportunity to sit down and bargain with the victors. If we don't know how to be grateful, perhaps even greater disasters will follow.

The other party is attached, and the attachment designated by the immortal heaven. To oppose him is to go against the will of the Immortal Heaven. So, the immortal genius allowed everyone to be attacked when it was least likely to be attacked. Therefore, the immortal genius made everyone have no room to fight back when they were attacked.

"Leave your lord!" Shetuo Shage raised the wine cup in front of him, and changed his sitting posture from cross-kneeling to long kneeling according to the etiquette of the Central Plains. "We were abandoned by the Immortal Heaven, so we didn't distinguish between right and wrong, and made such a big mistake. Since the Immortal Heaven is in your hands, let me wait for me to learn a lesson. I hope that Master Lili will show me a clear path based on the feelings that everyone once fought side by side. The immortal heaven is above, and even if you open your mouth, we will definitely obey. If anyone breaks his oath, the thirteen tribes of our Xia clan will cut off his head together. If the thirteen tribes of the Xia clan can't do it, may the immortal heaven send thunder and kill all the men in the clan. If the Thirteen Tribes break their oath today, may the Immortal Heaven send down a plague and kill all the livestock! ”

"If you break your oath, may thunder fall from heaven and kill all the men of your people. If you break your oath today, may the Immortal Heaven send down a plague and kill all livestock! All the elders changed their sitting postures together, knelt down and asked Li Xu for help.

This is already the most vicious oath on the steppe. So Xuzi is not too pressing. He led his brothers down from the mountains in the middle of the night, and it was only by virtue of his familiarity with the camping traditions of the Pi tribe that he was able to strike a blow. If you really want to force the other party to resist to the death, regardless of the battle damage of your own side, you will have to delay for a day or two just to kill all these tens of thousands of herdsmen. At that time, whether it was Ah Silan, who had already rushed to the front, and Gu Tolu, who was far behind, he would not let him retreat.

Therefore, the best option is to force the Xia clan to withdraw, and then disintegrate the already weak alliance of the Saishang tribes. If the tribes of the Xia tribe could still spread the power of the Central Plains on the way back, it would be more serious than the blow that a single encounter brought to Ashina Gu Toru.

After weighing the pros and cons, Xuzi smiled and raised the wine bowl in his hand. touched the wine bowl of Shetu Sha Ge, and solemnly promised, "Immortality is above." I, Li Xu, hereby make an oath that I will show the way out for the thirteen tribes of the Xi clan as I plan for my own people. If I break my oath, may I be punished by the Immortal Heaven! ”

After that, the guest and host dipped their fingers in the wine again, respecting the heavens, the earth, and the ghosts, and then drank the remaining wine.
