Daliang City.

The Fan family's mansion.

Fan Fa, the head of the Fan family, was sitting in his place with a solemn expression at the moment, and the housekeeper of the Fan family was reporting the situation respectfully.

"Family master, since three days ago, our spies in Yumen Pass have lost news, and later after investigation, it is said that Yumen Pass has been blocked, and it is estimated that our spies have not spread the news because of this."

Fan Fa's fingers lightly tapped on the table on the side, closed his eyes and thought about the comings and goings, and then suddenly opened his eyes and asked:

"Are you sure that the army sent by the imperial court entered the Yumen Pass three days ago?"

Steward Fan nodded heavily, and immediately said, "Our spies in Jinchuan saw the imperial army's troops resting in Jinchuan four days ago, and according to their speed, one day at the slowest is enough for them to enter the city. ”

Fan Fa pondered again for a moment, then opened his eyes and said:

"Immediately contact the outside of the gate, let them pay attention to the army sent by the imperial court, it is estimated that they have already left the customs at this time, and no one knows where they are now, let them be careful! Don't get caught! ”

Steward Fan immediately responded.

"Yes! Master! ”

The news spread quickly, but when Acrylic of the Xun tribe learned the news, he had already received the news that at least eight small tribes had been killed by the elusive Song army in the past two days!

And this army is suspected to be the demon army that raged on the grassland at the beginning.

Many Huns who had seen the combat power of the demon army were already panicking at this moment.

Even many people in the Xun tribe are suggesting that they should immediately retreat to the depths of the grassland, and not stay here any longer.

And Acrylic disagreed.

Originally, due to dangerous reasons, many tribes near the Song Dynasty had migrated to the depths of the grassland, but the grassland in the depths of the grassland was limited, and small and medium-sized tribes like the Xun tribe had no place to live there, and there was no enough grassland for them to graze.

And this led to the life of the people of the Xun tribe being extremely difficult, and last winter, many people died because of the lack of enough supplies.

The reason why he had to move with the tribe to the border near the Song Dynasty and trade with the Fan family this time was to be able to obtain more supplies, so that more people in the tribe could survive the winter.

At this time, the resources reserved in the tribe are not enough for the people in the tribe to survive the winter safely, so the tribe is not able to move back now, if it moves back, then a large number of people will definitely die in the tribe this winter.

And the entire Xun tribe has a total of about 40,000 people, and if some more die, the Xun tribe will be reduced from a medium-sized tribe to a small tribe.

This is something that Acrylic cannot tolerate.

However, many of the little demons in the tribe are really terrifying, and the determination of the migrating tribe is very strong, which leads to the rapid division of the Xun tribe into two factions in a short period of time.

One faction supports an immediate migration back to the depths of the steppe to escape the attacks of the demon forces, while the other faction has to wait until they have enough resources to survive the winter.

As for the demon army, those of them who have not experienced it don't care.

In their opinion, the so-called demon army was nothing more than a false rumor, blown up by those defeated tribes, how could the actual Song people have such a strong fighting power?

In their opinion, if the demon army does not come, it is fine, if they really dare to come, they and the surrounding tribes will definitely be able to defeat them.

However, just as Cao Cao Cao arrived, almost cleaning up the small tribes around the Xun tribe, Huo Qubing finally came to Xun, the largest tribe near Yumen Pass.

And when Huo Qubing appeared with 10,000 elite soldiers, he immediately frightened many people.

Confident Acrylic, he led five thousand members of his tribe to resist.

However, under the huge gap in force, just the salvo of the crossbow killed more than half of the 5,000 Hun cavalry!

Immediately after the cavalry charged, the scimitars in their hands could not cut through the armor of the opposite side at all, while the spears and Chaksi cavalry knives in the hands of the opposite demon army could easily cut their throats!

This is an unequal war!

From the very beginning, it turned into a one-sided massacre.

10,000 elite horsemen easily killed the entire Xun tribe, leaving only some old guys to ask who was colluding with them.

However, these old guys are quite strict-mouthed, or they know that they will die, so they don't tell Huo Qubing who they are contacting them.

It's just that although they didn't know some specific news from their mouths, the careful soldiers found the symbol of the Fan family on many things in the Xun tribe.

Huo Qubing immediately asked people to send these things to Yumen Pass.

After the Xun tribe built the Jingguan, Huo Qubing led people to clean up with other small tribes.

At this time in Daliang City, after sending someone to inform the Xun tribe, Fan Fa still felt uneasy, and always felt that something was wrong, so he quickly called the eight families over for a meeting.

The Fan family's mansion.

The heads of the eight families arrived one after another, and soon the entire lobby was full.

As soon as everyone sat down, Wang Ku, the head of the Wang family, couldn't wait to ask.

"I said, Master Fan, what do you want to do when you suddenly gather all eight of our families?

We haven't finished dealing with the things we got back last time, and we're busy, but you suddenly called us over, if it's nothing important, my old king is going to curse! ”

Although the rest of the family heads did not speak, they were obviously very dissatisfied with Fan Fa's sudden gathering of everyone at this time.

But Fan Fa was in no mood to pay attention to the nonsense of the royal treasury at the moment, but said directly: "Three days ago, the imperial court sent a cavalry force to this border, and I guess it came for the Huns we let in.

But when the army of the imperial court entered the Yumen Pass, the entire Yumen Pass was closed, and the people of our Fan family inside couldn't spread any news.

I sensed that something was wrong, and sent someone to deliver a message to Acrylic outside the gate, but I always felt uneasy in my heart.

I always felt like what we were doing was exposed! ”

As soon as Fan Fa's words came out, everyone present was shocked!

Wang Ku was the first to stand up and say:

"I said Lao Fan, this matter is not a joke, once these things we do are exposed, then we will definitely die without a place to be buried!

Don't scare us! ”

Tian Lan, the head of the Tian family, also frowned and said:

"Old Fan, are you too suspicious?

We are so hidden, how can we be discovered?

We didn't even go through the checkpoint even to transport supplies!

Even if we are dirty, we are selling little by little, and we don't dare to be fast, only selling a little in one place, and never selling in the same place.

Will they still be able to find it?

Impossible! ”

"Yes! Lao Fan is not too worried about you! ”

The rest of the family heads comforted one after another, but they couldn't afford the result of being exposed, so they all tried to think about the better.

However, Fan Fa shook his head and said:

"Although I don't know what's wrong, I feel that something is very wrong recently, no matter what you think, my Fan family is going to leave a way back.

I'm going to send a family member to take refuge in Luzon from across the grassland, so that even if I plant here, my Fan family still has a heritage, and I called you over today just to ask if you want to go on the road together? ”

After listening to Fan Fa's words, the other eight families fell silent.

They are all thinking, is it necessary to make such preparations now?

"Old Fan, add me one!"

The first thing that everyone didn't expect was actually the royal treasury who had often opposed Fan Fa before!

Then others got involved.

In the end, all eight decided to leave a bloodline to go to sea.

Then everyone discussed the division of labor for going to sea.

The heads of the eight families discussed for nearly a day and a night before finally coming to a conclusion.
