In Lumen Pass, the various departments of the coalition army are relatively independent, and they are resting at this time, dealing with various miscellaneous matters, and there are already teams planning the return trip.

Hu Jingye was pondering how to take the opportunity to include Chen Zhou in his sphere of influence.

Now most of Dong Lushan's rebels have been absorbed by him, and there are more than 100,000 people.

After these people are broken up and reorganized, several new armies can be formed, so although he did not earn much in terms of reputation on this trip, he made a lot of money in terms of benefits.

At this moment, an urgent report suddenly came, saying that the Liangda army had been found nearby and was heading in the direction of Lumen Pass.

At this moment, the coalition forces, which were about to retreat, suddenly ......

Get excited.

If in the past, when they heard that the two of them were heading south, all parties would have been nervously preparing for war and preparing to defend against the enemy.

But this time it was different, the coalition soldiers and horses, plus the rebel soldiers and horses, more than 200,000 people were in Chenzhou.

On weekdays, it is impossible to make up so many people, because they can't afford to raise them at all.

It's actually a little unaffordable now, but it's okay to stick to it for ten days and a half months.

The struggle between the Central Plains people and the Liang people has been going on since ancient times.

When the army heard that the Liangren were coming, they all wanted to see the strength of the Liangren.

I heard that the reason why he didn't commit a border in the past few years was because of the civil strife, could it be that now that the civil strife of the cool people is over, he can't wait?

After Hu Jingye heard that Liang Ren was coming, he was even more excited.

If you can establish meritorious service in defeating foreign clans, then you will definitely not be bad in history.

While the coalition side was preparing for battle, the Liangren vanguard army was also about to arrive at Lumen Pass.

"This time, we must break through the Lumen Pass and make up for the losses on the territory of the Southern Barbarians."

The pioneer officer Abbatu rode on his horse and looked at the Xiongguan in front of him, his expression full of greed.

Adjutant Abba Yin, who was his younger brother and was on the battlefield for the first time, asked a little nervously:

"Aha (brother), I heard that the weapons of the Southern Barbarians are very powerful, and there are many armors, can we fight them?"

"Du (brother), you are too cowardly, tell you that the southern barbarians are all cowards, and when we get to the place, as long as we shout a few times and shoot a few arrows, they will be so frightened that they will hide behind the city and dare not look at us.

This time I brought you out to let you kill a few more Southern Barbarians.

Remember, those Southern barbarians who are afraid of death can be kept and brought back to do all kinds of hard work.

The women of the Southern Barbarians are also very good-looking, and I can give you a few more. ”

"Okay, Aha, I'll try.

If...... I mean, just in case......

We didn't get enough of it this time, so we're all going to starve to death......

"Don't talk nonsense, the great gods will bless us."

"But if the gods of heaven are really bless us, they should punish the evil wolves who cursed the grasslands, and the ......"

Hearing his younger brother say this, Abatu's face changed, and he slapped Aba's silver on the head.

"Don't talk nonsense about these things, we just do our own thing, and after we have done our deeds, the Great Khans will reward us."

"A few Great Khans...... They fought for so long, and they didn't know the winner, and now they can't survive, so they barely stop and come to rob the southern barbarians.

You say, if we get enough of it, will they fight again? ”

"Du, you have too many words, now, immediately go to the city of the Southern Barbarians with the cavalry team of Totomu to scare them, and let me see your courage as a child of the Heavenly Sound God!"

When Abba Yin heard this, he had to ride his horse and follow the detachment of Totomu.

It is said that when the grassland was not in chaos, Totomu often took people around to grab the things of the southern barbarians, which was very powerful and was a hero in everyone's eyes.

This time, Abba Yin followed the detachment, and felt a lot of confidence in his heart.

Totogi rode to Abba Yin, and said to him:

"Anda (brother), don't be afraid, follow me, you can prepare your pockets and hold the things of the Southern Barbarians.

On their side, there are as many good things as the stars in the sky and the stones on the earth, and they are afraid that your pockets are too small to fit too small. ”

Hearing what Totomu said, Abba Yin also began to feel that the Southern Barbarians were easy to deal with.

This guy has always been very bold, and this time he led the team to a distance of less than three miles from the city gate.

"Roar and scare the southern barbarians!"

Totomu roared loudly, and his brothers followed suit, waving their knives and shouting loudly.

Just shouting, Totomu felt that it was not enjoyable, so he stood directly on the horseback, unbuttoned his pants, and peed in the direction of Lumenguan, scolding while urinating.

When the surrounding Liang people saw this, they all admired it, and felt that Totomu was indeed a heroic warrior.

Totomu also enjoys the adoring gaze of the people around him.

However, he is not stupid, he knows that a Xiongguan like Lumen Pass is not something they can touch.

The main purpose of this visit is to see the situation of the Southern Barbarians, and to know whether the Southern Barbarians are in the stage of courage or lack of courage.

Because the southern barbarians are very strange, sometimes they are not like words, they can kill into the grassland in a big way, and drive the people under the protection of the god of heaven and running around.

When they were weak, even if they were openly burning, killing and looting in front of those officers and soldiers, those timid officers and soldiers did not dare to care.

When he was trying to take off the wood, he suddenly saw the side door open in the direction of Lumen Pass, and a small cavalry came out of it, and came directly to them.

When Abba Yin saw this kind of Southern Barbarian, he was immediately a little afraid.

Because he heard that once the southern barbarians dared to take the initiative to go out of the city, it meant that they were in a very courageous stage.

Usually at this time, the smart steppe warriors will choose to hide so that the other party can't find it.

Wait until the other party does not have the courage in the future, and then attack and loot.

"Totomuanda, the situation doesn't seem right, let's go first."

"No, the warriors of the grassland, there are no people who run away without a fight, and there are not many of them who come out, go, follow me to kill them all!"

Totomu is indeed brave, but there are some things that are actually changing.

Due to civil strife, Ryoto has not really fought with the Central Plains people for several years.

In just a few years, it seems to be nothing, but they don't know that it is in these few years that the iron-smelting technology of the Central Plains people has reached a higher level.

As the teams of the two sides fought, Totomu, who had thought that he could easily kill these southern barbarians, suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The weapons in the hands of this group of southern barbarians have become so sharp, much sharper than when he fought a few years ago.

As soon as the men and horses on both sides rushed, the scimitars in the hands of their own warriors were cut out.

Totomu realized that something was wrong, but it was too late to regret it, the two sides fought, and with just one charge, many warriors around him were cut down.

Abba Yin fought with the Central Plains people for the first time, and he didn't dare to take the initiative to swing the knife, but he was lucky to pick up a life.

But soon, the Central Plains people returned to kill again.

They can only fight head-on.

This time, even Abba Yin's eyes were cut down, and he fell off his horse to serve the god of heaven.

The only fortunate thing is that these people did not intend to kill them all, but grabbed a few living people, including Abba Yin, and took them to the city as tall as a mountain.

Abba Yin has seen many mountains and rivers, and he has also seen the golden horde of the Great Khan.

However, no matter what kind of golden horde it is, it is not as majestic as the city in front of you.

Abba Yin even forgot that he was caught, and felt that the person who could build such a majestic giant city could be a coward?

The clansmen are really deceiving themselves, this trip out, there is nothing to gain, they are caught, the southern barbarians are really difficult to deal with.

Although Abba Yin was timid, he also considered himself to have backbone, and was tied to a very good-looking house, where there were many southern barbarians watching him.

Looking at the clothes on those southern barbarians, and then looking at the clothes on their own bodies, Abba Yin was a little suspicious for a while, who was the barbarian.

The Nanban pressed them to their knees, and the Nanban who sat in the middle began to ask questions, all about the secrets of the march that could not be said.

Abba Yin thinks that he is also an iron-clad man, so he will not betray his tribe and betray the Great Khan.

But when this group of southern barbarians took out something that clamped people's legs and clamped his legs, the intense pain made Abba Yin realize that he was not a real man.

He became the first of all the captives to open his mouth to confess.

The southern barbarian sitting in the middle opposite seemed to be very satisfied with his first explanation, and even asked people to loosen the rope.

At this time, Abba Yin had the urge to rush up and sneak attack and kill that person.

But the impulse was only for a moment, and the actual Abba Yin explained it very cleanly, basically shaking out everything he knew.

Naturally, it was a group of leaders of the coalition who judged them.

Seeing Abba Yin's refreshing explanation, they all thought that this cool man was sensible.

Yeming and the others also hid above the General's Mansion, listening to Abba Yin's explanation together.

It turned out that the civil strife of the Liang people was not over, but everyone really couldn't survive, so they could only temporarily truce, and the five Great Khans jointly sent troops and gathered a full 60,000 people to the south to plunder.

For a nomadic like the Ryoren, gathering 60,000 people at a time can really be regarded as a national war.

As for the reason why they can't survive, there are two points.

First, the wolf curse.

Legend has it that since twenty years ago, the wolf demons of the steppe have developed the most vicious curse, which will make the water and grass barren and the earth lose its vitality.

Over the years, the aquatic grass on the grassland has been shrinking, and a large number of cattle and sheep have died in herds.

This is undoubtedly a great disaster for the people on the grassland.

The second is the "vegetarian order" of the White Deer Xuannu.

The White Deer Xuannu is the goddess in the hearts of the grassland people, and has been sheltering the grassland for many years.

Of course, in reality most of the time is spent in retreat.

It was not until he left the customs more than 20 years ago that he ordered that no meat should be eaten in the whole grassland.

Humans, wolves, or anything else are no longer allowed to eat meat, and all beings must be vegetarians.

Since then, the number of cattle, sheep and horses on the steppe has increased dramatically, and cattle and sheep can be seen everywhere.

It was also from that time that the curse of the wolf demon began to manifest......

Some people say that it was actually the revenge caused by the "vegetarian order" of Bailu Xuannu.

But no one dared to really question her, and they all attributed everything to the evil of the wolf demon.

It is also for this reason that the grassland tribes that have always liked to be named after the "Sky Wolf Department", "Wild Wolf Department" and "Blue Wolf Department" have all changed their names.

Changed to something like "sheep department", "yak department" and so on.

According to Abba Yin, in fact, the major tribes do no longer eat meat on the surface, but secretly they should still eat and drink, as long as they are not bumped into by Bailu Xuannu's men, in the early days of the implementation of the "vegetarian order", everyone's life is actually very good.

But those wolves, whether they are wolf demons or wild wolves, are stared at very much, and they don't want to eat any meat.

There are basically not many wolves in the steppe now, and most of them have starved to death.

Similarly, the curse of the wolf demon is also terrifying, and now the environment on the grassland has become extremely harsh, and the abundant water and grass that he remembered when he was a child are now all gone.

The key is that those wolf demons will not let go, even if the Xuannu will interrogate them personally, they will never admit that it is their own curse, but will spit on the Xuannu, which is very rude.

The curse was not resolved, and the problems of the steppes worsened.

In fact, their civil strife in recent years has also been caused by the allocation of internal resources.

After listening to what Abba Yin said, Hu Jingye was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the whole army to fight, intending to fight with the Liangren army in a dignified manner.
