After a day of galloping, in the evening, they had already entered the territory of Duoyan Sanwei, and the speed of everyone's progress couldn't help but slow down, Wang Tai pointed to the northwest direction and said: "Lord Duan, please look, there is a Tatar tribe over there, and they are making dinner." ”

Duan Fei looked up and saw that there was indeed a thick smoke billowing up in the northwest direction, he was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "No, that's definitely not cooking smoke!" ”

Wang Tai was reminded by him, Huo Ran understood, and his uncle Gu shouted to Zhu Yan: "Be careful, everyone, the tribe in front has been attacked, Zi Wan, let's leave quickly." ”

Wang Tai said with a solemn expression: "Uncle, I have a bad feeling, at such a time, who will attack the Tatar tribe?" This area has always been very stable, and this is the default border between our Jurchens and Tatars. ”

Gu was stunned for a moment and said, "Do you suspect that it was our Jurchen tribe that attacked the Tatars?" ”

Wang Tai shook his head and said, "No, it's impossible, but others don't think so, I have to go over and take a look, maybe I'll find something." ”

Gu said to Zhu Yan: "I'll go with you, bring twenty people, it's not good to have too many people in the past." ”

Wang Tai nodded, turned his head to Duan Fei and said, "Lord Duan, there may have been some accidents in the tribe in front, I plan to bring a few people over to take a look, please stay here and wait." ”

Duan Fei said, "I'm also curious, who could have attacked the Tatars? ”

Wang Tai agreed without thinking about it, he ordered a few people, and the Badai Darhan also asked to follow, and there were enough twenty or so people, and everyone ran towards the place where the smoke was rising, and the rest of the Black Dragon Guard were on guard and resting in place.

In a short time, a tribe burned to the ground appeared in front of everyone, full of smoking, scorched earth, burned tents, gushing blood, and dead corpses......

Su Rong turned her head unbearably, Duan Fei sighed lightly, held her little hand, and said, "Rong'er, don't go in, go back to the team." ”

Su Rong shook her head stubbornly and said, "No, I'm just a little sad, it doesn't matter, it'll be fine in a while, Gongzi is a person who does big things, maybe he will often encounter such scenes in the future, do I have to avoid it?" ”

Duan Fei happily pinched her Rouyi and said, "Rong'er, are you going to follow me all the time?" It seems like it's been a long time since I've heard you mention those two years of appointments. ”

Su Rong glanced at him and said, "Does Childe like me to mention it often?" Well, my appointment with Childe still has one year and four months plus nine days and five hours and half a cup of tea, is Childe ready? ”

Duan Fei's smile fell, and he said: "You remember it so clearly, even half a cup of tea can be understood, alas, I knew that I would have a puppy, and now I can't get rid of it......"

Su Rong ignored him anymore, Duan Fei laughed dryly, only to see Wang Tai wave his hand forward, and the Jurchen warriors quickly dispersed forward into the ruins of the tribe, and then Duan Fei and they also rode slowly in, but saw that the people in the tribe were lying on the ground everywhere, most of them had one or several arrows stuck in their bodies, and only a few of them were killed by sharp blades or slashes or stabs.

In the center of the tribe, a large flag was split in two and fell to the ground, the flag was also burned, and there were more than a dozen corpses next to the flagpole, they were neatly arranged side by side and had their heads, apparently beheaded.

The look on Wang Tai's face became more and more ugly, he jumped off the horse and pulled out an arrow from a corpse, just glanced at it and fell to the ground hard, Duan Fei picked up the arrow, only to see that the arrow was narrow and flat, slightly curved, but it was somewhat similar to the arrow that Yuantong took out from Jiang Jun's stomach.

Weighing the arrow, Duan Fei said: "Young General, have you noticed that the dead are all men, old and young, where are the women in this tribe?" ”

Wang Tai snorted, and then a black dragon guard rode back and reported to Wang Taiyu: "Shaodudu, we checked the surroundings, and we did not find scattered cattle, sheep and horses, but found many hoof prints that left eastward, and the people who attacked the tribe seemed to have taken away all the women, cattle and sheep. ”

Wang Tai's expression was even more ugly, although it was the Tatars who were attacked, but all the clues of the murderers all pointed to the Jurchen tribe in the east, looting the camp and killing all the men, taking away the gold and silver treasures, as well as women, cattle, sheep, and horses, this is the usual means of the nomads to attack the enemy and enhance their own strength, is it which bold Jurchen tribe attacked the Tatars?

Duan Fei said leisurely: "The deceased are either old or young, and the people who want to attack them are also very clear, the young and middle-aged people in the tribe have responded to the call of their leader and gone to Duoyan Mountain, so the attack was extremely smooth, and the Tatars were killed before they even had time to resist...... Major General, are the horse thieves around here really so powerful? ”

Wang Tai shook his head and said, "I don't know, let's search carefully and see what we can find." ”

Gu said to Zhu Yan in a low voice to Wang Tai: "We can't stay here for too long, we should leave as soon as possible." ”

Wang Tai smiled bitterly: "This kind of thing happened, uncle, do you think we can get away with it?" These arrows are clearly our Jurchens, and it just so happens that we pass by here again, will the Tatars not suspect us? Uncle, I am now thinking about whether I should move forward or turn around and return as soon as possible, and warn our Jurchen tribe to beware of the Tatar attack! ”

Just as Wang Tai and his uncle kept discussing, Duan Fei circled around the flagpole and the beheaded corpse, and suddenly asked, "Young General, why did the murderer go to such lengths to get these people here in a row before killing them?" Also, their heads seem to have been taken away, so what's the point? ”

Wang Tai did not speak with a dark face, and Badai Darhan came to the corpses, frowned and said: "This is a kind of ritual, to sacrifice to heaven and earth, to show off military exploits, and to spread courage and morale...... This is a kind of heavenly ritual of our Jurchens, and I haven't heard of it for a long time......"

"That's enough." Wang Tai came to Duan Fei and said to Duan Fei: "Lord Duan, I suggest that we turn around and return immediately, we can't go any further, the angry Tatars will eat us alive." ”

Duan Fei smiled and shook his head, and said, "No, I have to move on, the young general might as well lead the team back and warn your people to be careful of the Tatar counterattack." ”

Wang Tai was stunned for a moment and said, "If such a thing happens, do you want to continue to go to Duoyan Mountain?" What's the difference between that and sending to death? Perhaps, because of this matter, the Tatars will give up raiding the Ming Dynasty and turn to deal with our Jurchens, so that the adults will not achieve their goal? ”

Duan Fei laughed and said: "It turns out that the young general is suspicious of me, this is really a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone, but it's a pity that ...... Didn't the young general think about why I had traveled all the way to Tashan to the left guard if I had such a plan? Wouldn't it be simple to directly send a group of Jinyi guards pretending to be Jurchens to constantly attack the Tatar tribes? ”

Wang Tai was puzzled, Duan Fei sneered and pointed to a corpse on the ground and said: "Young General, I was a small catcher before I became the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and what I was best at was investigating cases, the shape of this corpse is a little strange, you might as well ask someone to turn him over, maybe you can find something under him." ”

The corpse that Duan Fei was referring to was really a little different from the others, his body was twisted, among all the decapitated corpses, only he was lying on his side, his hands were somewhat strangely pressed under the body, Wang Tai stepped forward and kicked him over, the man's hand was thrown away as the body flipped, and a small wooden carved conch rolled on the ground a few times, and only stopped when it touched Bhadai Darhan's feet.

Ba Loandarhan bent down to pick up the small wood carving and said, "Young Dudu, this should be the holy conch of the Haliuwen tribe, is it really what they did?" ”

Wang Tai took the small wood carving and looked at it carefully, only to see that there was even a Jurchen name carved on the screw mouth - Borp.

Wang Tai took the woodcarved conch into his arms and said, "You don't need to search, get on the horse and return to the team!" ”

The scattered Jurchen warriors gathered back, and everyone quickly left the ruined tribe under the leadership of Wang Tai.

After gathering with the five hundred Black Dragon Guards, Duan Fei asked, "Is the young general ready to return and lead the team back?" ”

Wang Tai was silent for a moment, and suddenly shouted loudly in Jurchen words: "Warriors of the Jurchen clan, what awaits us ahead may be a Tatar army, are you afraid?" ”

"Nope!"

The answers of the five hundred Black Dragon Guards converged into a huge wave, and Wang Tai replied proudly to Duan Fei, "Did you hear it?" This is my answer, my father sent me to deliver a letter to Duoyan Sanwei, and I must do it, if such a thing happens, if I turn around and leave, not only will my people look down on me, but I will also fall into the trap of the enemy. ”

Duan Fei praised: "The young general is really smart and resolute, according to the judgment of the young general, how many elite soldiers are needed to destroy a tribe in an instant?" Is there anyone outside the Nuer Gandusi or outside the gate who has such strength? ”

Wang Tai replied: "I don't want to speculate, I only know that this must be the enemy's conspiracy, even if it is really someone in our Jurchen tribe who did it, I have to give an explanation to the Tatars, otherwise it will ......"

Wang Tai shook his head, and the next words were not spoken, but everyone knew what he wanted to say, otherwise the war would be in trouble, and the short-term peace between the Jurchens and the Tatars would be gone.

Wang Tai turned to Gu Zhuyan and said, "Uncle, you can take a few people back the way you came, and tell Daddy to be careful against the Tatar counterattack, if I fail to convince them, the Tatar army will follow." ”

Gu said to Zhu Yan: "No, how can I leave you alone and go back?" You can send whoever you send back, but I can't! ”

Wang Tai looked at Ba Loan Darhan, Ba Loan Darhan also shook his head, Wang Tai thought about it, and shouted: "Whoever is an only son at home, stand up for me!" ”

More than a dozen people were sparsely listed, and Wang Tai said again: "Whoever marries a daughter-in-law and has no son stands up!" ”

A few more people stood up, and Wang Tai pointed at them and said, "Your old lady and daughter-in-law are looking forward to your return at home, take this and give it to the Grand Governor, and tell him what has happened to the tribe in front of him, and if the Tatar army comes later, please tell my father for me, I have not disgraced him!" ”

Those who were pointed out of the ranks hung their heads sadly, but the faces of the others were full of determination, and Wang Tai shouted: "Go back quickly, and the others continue to move forward, and start at once!" ”

After the army was gone, those who did not follow turned their horses away, and the land was quiet again, except for the ruined tribe, where the green smoke still rose......

After dark, Wang Tai led the army to continue on the road, and did not stop to rest until the beginning of the day, and ordered to make food, and everyone used tents to cover the light of the fire, and hurriedly roasted dried meat to fill their stomachs and began to rest, only a few horses kept cruising in the distance.

"Uh......h Woo woo woo ......" The sound of the horn sounded urgently woke up the Jurchen warriors who were still asleep, and Tanma turned over and got on his horse without hesitation, and skillfully set up the formation as if he was eating and sleeping. I saw a healthy horse galloping in the direction of the horn sounding, and immediately the knight passed through the layers of arrays, came to the front of the king, and said to him: "Shaodudu, I found a team of people and horses in front, about two hundred people, coming to our side, look at the banner should be from the Tatar Suwen tribe." ”

Wang Tai shouted: "It's long overdue, return to the team, let's go up and have a look." ”

The two teams of people quickly met, gathered for nearly a hundred steps, and each stopped, and Wang Tai asked in a loud voice: "Is it the team of the Suwen tribe that came in front?" In Wan, the son of Xia Nala, the son of the governor of the Tashan Left Guard, the son of Suheite, I heard that the Duoyan Sanwei were in the alliance at Duoyan Mountain, and my father ordered me to send a letter to the chief of the Duoyan Sanwei. ”

On the other side, an old man wearing an official uniform issued by the court stroked his beard and laughed: "It turns out that he is the young general of the Jurchen Tashan Left Guard, and the old man is the commander of Suwen Hewei, Yihan, how is your big leader recently?" Didn't the major general also go to Duoyan Mountain to participate in the alliance? ”

Wang Tai said: "Thanks to you, my father is in good health, we are also going to Duoyan Mountain, I don't know what my father means, I believe he has explained it in detail in the letter, but yesterday on the road we passed by a tribe where nobles were attacked, and I plan to explain this matter to the great leader of Duoyan Sanwei in person." ”

A strong man beside the old man on the opposite side, Yi Han, said angrily: "What else is there to explain? You're the murderers! ”

Wang Tai said calmly: "What kind of person is Your Excellency, how can you have the right to intervene when I talk to your leader?" Chief, Ihan, do you suspect that I led someone to loot that tribe...... Please bring the evidence. ”

Ihan laughed and said, "Evidence? Our spies have followed the hoof prints all the way to you, is that any evidence? Is it evidence that all the arrows that shot our people were the usual arrows of your Jurchens? ”

Wang Tai still said calmly: "Finding us with hoof prints does not mean that we are murderers, if you spies check carefully, you will find that only twenty of us have entered the tribe to investigate, and the rest of the brigade has never entered the tribe at all, as for the bow and arrow, it is even simpler, just find a Jurchen tribe, and exchange what they need for as many bows and arrows as they want." ”

Yihan sneered: "What a sharp mouth, the black ones are all made clear by you, but unfortunately the facts are the facts, you are not allowed to quibble, you can also change the whole corpse if you get off the horse now, otherwise we will cut off all your heads and send them back to Quickie to have a good time!" ”

Wang Tai said: "Since you don't believe it, then I can't help it, your great leader is so wise, he will definitely believe my words and know that we are not murderers." ”

"Fart!" The reckless man beside Yi Han scolded: "Father, give the order quickly, kill all these devils, and avenge the dead clansmen!" ”

Yi Han's face sank like water, and he shouted: "Shut up, don't look at the time of talking nonsense, the Black Dragon Guard of the Tashan Left Guard, except for the elite cavalry of our Duoyan Sanwei Headquarters, can ordinary people deal with it?" What's more, there are more than twice as many of us, I originally planned to approach them first and meet more people before acting, but I was destroyed by you reckless man, now it's okay, what do you tell me to do? ”

Wang Tai over there was very reasonable, and sent a step over to him, only to hear Wang Tai say: "Chief Yihan, I am going to Duoyan Mountain, why don't you go on the road together?" When I arrived at Duoyan Mountain, I met the chief of your Duoyan Sanwei, and it was his business that he wanted to kill or chop us, and you supervised us to go up the mountain, maybe there would be merit. ”

Yihan stepped down, and the two sides rushed to Duoyan Mountain one after the other, and the closer they got to Duoyan Mountain, the more Tatars they had, and they exchanged voices, and they were very angry after knowing what happened to that tribe, but they saw that this group of Jurchens was extremely strong, and their leader was so calm that they didn't dare to move for a while.

More and more Tatars gathered around, which also made the Jurchens feel more and more pressure, but under such pressure, Wang Tai became more and more calm, along the way to Duan Fei and others to introduce the scenery and the origin of the legends, and also pointed out how they to identify the flags and costumes of the Tatar tribes.

The sun set again in the west, and in order to avoid misunderstandings during the night march, everyone set up camp one after another, but the Tatar camp faintly surrounded the Jurchens.

After dinner, Wang Tai added some dry firewood to the fire and said to Duan Fei: "Lord Duan, please inform your family that you are ready to leave at any time tonight." ”

Duan Fei smiled: "Shall we leave overnight?" What about those Tatars? ”

Wang Tai smiled disdainfully and said, "It's just a rabble, why be afraid? It's just that they plan to come in the middle of the night to sneak attack us, if they engage, it will inevitably cause too many casualties, and it will be even more difficult to talk when I see Burigude, so I chose to avoid it and go from the west where they are most negligent, but to go silently, we still need the masters under Lord Duan to take action, and when they come to raid in the middle of the night, they find that the camp is empty, I don't know how surprised they will be. ”

Duan Fei also laughed and said, "I really want to stay and see their faces, you are better at this, everything is up to you, I can ask them to cooperate in the evening." ”

The night grew darker and deeper, and a cloud came as the sky wished, covering the moon, and the Jurchens moved quietly, holding their breath, not even coughing, and the horses' hooves were wrapped with cotton cloth, and the horses' mouths were tightly tied, and quietly, they left the camp and touched the west.

Several black shadows left the camp before them, and with the help of the cover of the terrain, these martial arts masters from the Central Plains successfully solved several sentry posts along the way, covering more than five hundred people to leave quietly, and only after walking away did they start to get on their horses and run into the distance.

The cloud was blown away by the wind, the moonlight illuminated the earth again, and countless shouts of killing suddenly sounded around the Jurchen camp, and the Tatars in all directions first set fire to the Jurchen camp with rockets, and then rode horses and brandished sabers to rush into the Jurchen camp, only then did they find that those 'people' standing next to the camp and sitting by the fire were all grassy, and the whole camp was blazing, but it did not help the Tatars to vent their anger, they followed the footprints left by the Jurchens, held torches high, and chased them down with a shout......
