Chapter 140: Emperor Yan's Remnants, Rebellion in the Snow Field
Bonfires swayed in the tent, and rising sparks floated in the night sky with the heat rushing towards the holes in the tent roof.
The roaring fire shone on several slave women, dressed in rudimentary leather jackets up and down, and under the rhythm of the animal skin drums, the soles of their feet stamped on the ground vigorously, waving their arms, and letting out a fierce cry like a hunt.
All around, the leaders of the sixteen tribes on the snowy field, drinking spirits, slicing mutton, and watching this hunting dance of strength and ferocity as they spoke.
As for the prisoner of the great chieftain, he was a burly man, with rough and dark skin, and a thick beard, and he was thrust the sharp knife in his hand into the cutting board of the mutton.
In the language of the slaves, he asked about Yan Duo.
"What do you mean, the Yan Imperial Court is no longer the emperor's decision, but the general who is less than twenty? He called you here with so many gifts, so that our slaves would no longer care about what happened before and return to the snowfield? ”
That Yan Duo tightened his coat, afraid of the flames and baking his fur, this is the new clothes he bought in Yanjing, and the gold is expensive.
"The big chief, the emperor before the imperial court is dead, and the general means that he hopes that the Yan Kingdom and the living slaves can be the same as before."
"Hmph, then why did he reject my messenger?" The fierce voice of the prisoner beggar made the surroundings laugh, and the leaders of the slaves who ate meat turned their heads, and someone raised his hand and waved it, telling the dancing women to go down.
Inside the huge felt tent, it became quiet.
Na Yan Duo, who was watched by the leaders, was also a little scared in his heart, "This general didn't tell Na Yan Duo, before leaving Yanjing, the general said that he would personally come to the snow field to meet the leaders of various clans, hoping to get along with us." ”
"Hmm."
The prisoner beggar was killed by a captain of the Yan State because his daughter was killed by a captain of the Yan State before, so he called all the tribes to rebel against the Yan State, and later sent an envoy to join forces with the other party, if he wins, as an ally, he can get greater benefits from it, and he can even ask for the snow mountains and snow forests in the east, anyway, the Yan people rarely go there, and it is not impossible to assign it to the slaves.
If the army fails, it is a big deal to retreat to the snow field, and the emperor of Yan Kingdom has nothing to do with him.
It's a pity that his proposal was directly rejected by the other party, and the prisoner pressed the soldiers still, just to see how the other party was exterminated by the 150,000 troops of the imperial court after he was ashamed.
However, unexpectedly, the young general once again routed the terror of the imperial army.
The flickering bonfire crackled, and the prisoner cut off a piece of mutton and put it in his mouth, "Then what if, I lead the soldiers to the slave tribe and don't want to marry him?" ”
"Great Chief...... Don't offend the general! Na Yan Duo hurriedly said: "This general's army is even more terrifying than what I have seen, and the Xirong Yelang Department is even larger than the several tribes on the snow field combined, but it was defeated by the other party in one day." However, the general said that he had come with good intentions, and hoped that the chief would not take his kindness for weakness! ”
Being able to defeat the huge army of the imperial court twice in a row, and a Xirong tribe with a population of 30,000, the leaders of the snowfields here naturally understood what a terrifying deterrent power it contained.
After a period of silence, the prisoner spoke: "What about sincerity? ”
"That Yan Duo can come over is the greatest sincerity."
Na Yan Duo pointed to himself, and then pointed in the direction of Yan Guo: "The general personally summoned me and Anu Hu into the splendid palace, and let Na Yan Duo come over as an envoy, just to express his sincerity to the big leader." ”
Hearing this, the tribal leaders in the tent also nodded, this practice was indeed very respectful to them.
At this moment, someone stood up and kicked the small table over, he stared at Yan Duo, "This person can no longer be regarded as a snow native slave, he sold his soul to the Yan people, and he wants to corrupt us with the gifts of the Yan people!" The Great Leader killed him, and continued to rebel, the Slaves had lived long enough on the snowy plains, and we could go to the warm south and let our people multiply! ”
"Tiannu!" The prisoner frowned, "We were against the Emperor of Yan before, and now that the emperor is gone, we have no reason to continue to make trouble!" ”
"So what?! The emperor is not here, but the Yan Kingdom is still there, they have just finished the war, and they don't have the strength to start a war with us! The man named Tiannu wore only an open leather jacket, revealing his strong chest and thighs, "The snow field is ours, and if they dare to come, we will defeat them here, and then kill them outside and occupy their city!" ”
"Tiannu, your idea is very dangerous, what should we use to occupy the city of the Yan people? Have you ever fought a siege battle? Another tribal leader put down his knife and said, "I am against the Yan generals you accepted before, look at you now, what do you look like!" ”
"Am I wrong?" The corners of Tiannu's mouth curled into a smile, "It's just that you are too timid!" ”
"What did you say?!"
Just now, the guard behind the leader drew his sword and walked out, and a man with an unusually tall figure walked out behind Tiannu, rushed over with a bang, pinched the warrior, and broke his neck.
"Tiannu, what are your people doing!"
The prisoner stood up directly, and the guards outside the tent also drew their swords one by one to block the tent entrance. Tiannu didn't have the slightest look of horror on his face, still with a smile, "You've been the big leader for too long, and you don't have any ambitions, I think you should give up your position." ”
Beside him, the leaders of the five tribes also stood up: "We support Tiannu as the big leader, he can lead us out of the snowfield!" ”
"You ......"
The prisoner grabbed a big axe on the weapon rack behind him, and his sturdy figure knocked over the low table, and with a bang, he rushed towards the heavenly slave, and before the big axe was chopped out, the tall slave man grabbed the axe and snatched it away, and the backhand split the prisoner beggar to the ground with an axe.
The beggar guard at the tent said: "Ah! The rush came in, and was swept out of the tent directly by the big man who was a slave with a big axe.
"Golden Bone, don't be so brutal."
Tiannu beckoned to the axe-wielding slave man, and then smiled at the ten tribal leaders opposite: "You'd better agree!" ”
At the same time as the words fell, the beggar tribe outside the tent suddenly sounded the sound of horses' hooves, and the ten leaders looked outside, and a cavalry of more than a thousand people rushed into the tribe, spears and blades slashed down at the slaves one by one.
In a moment, a general of several horsemen came to the outside of the big tent, turned over and dismounted, Tiannu greeted him, and the ten leaders in the tent recognized that this was the general of Yan who Tiannu collected in the tribe, a general who was defeated by the rebels and fled here, it seems that his name is Gu Zhaowu.
"My general, what are they going to do?"
Tiannu came in with people, pointed to the ten leaders here, and the trembling Na Yanduo, "Just kill them all." ”
"Great Leader Tiannu, these people still need to be kept and used to order their tribe, as for this person......" Gu Zhaowu stared at Na Yan Duo in the corner and narrowed his eyes: "Since he represents that great general, why don't we give him a little gift?" ”
He said with this calm face, he is the commander of the Yanshan Iron Cavalry, after the defeat, with the remnants of more than a thousand cavalry fled north to the snow field, pressed the disgust in his heart, took refuge in one of the optimistic barbarians, helped him train soldiers and horses, united with other tribes, and at this moment, he could finally complete the unification of this tribe.
As long as there is enough strength, it is not impossible to unite with the Xirong people in the western grassland, and counterattack Yanjing from north to south.
And that general actually wanted to come over in person, he knew that the current situation in Yanjing was not enough to support him to bring a large number of soldiers and horses, so maybe killing the other party on the snow field right now was the best opportunity.
"Great Chief, let's keep quiet, let that Great General come to the tribe as a guest!"
Gu Zhaowu pulled Na Yan Duo over, threw it in front of a table, and stuck his long sword in front of the other party: "Now, you write a letter and tell the great general, just say that you and the leaders welcome his arrival, and you have the will to reach a settlement!" ”
"Good!"
That Yan Duo kept his head repeatedly, and when someone came over with pen and ink, he held it in his hand, hesitated, and raised his face: "I can't write Yanwen ......"
"Then write it in your slave language."
That Yan Duo was pressed against his neck by the cold blade of the sword, so he had to follow the other party's intentions, awkwardly using a brush, and crookedly drawing simple communication graphics of the slaves.
After writing it, Tiannu took a look, nodded at Gu Zhaowu, and then handed it to a confidant, asking him to pretend to be a prisoner and beggar, and send it to Yanjing to hand over to the general.
……
The dark night gradually passed, and out of this snowfield, there were lush fields and hills, and among the undulating roads, you could occasionally see one or two trading carts, carrying leather goods and herbs back to Yanzhou.
Further south, a contingent of nearly 20,000 men marched across the field in two groups, left and right.
Deserted.
Seeing such a huge army, the merchants selling goods avoided from afar, and when they ran into the scouts who came forward, they were relieved to know that it was the soldiers and horses of the imperial court.
However, he also has to answer questions, and he clearly explains the places he has passed, and he does not dare to hide it in the slightest.
In the dragon-like Youyan army array, Su Chen rode a horse and looked at the silver-armored and white-robed figure under the banner fluttering in front of him, and couldn't help but turn his head to ask the general named Zhang Yi.
"General Zhao, it's been a while since I've been here, but it's rare to see him smiling, does General Zhang know why?"
Zhang Yi and Dian Wei escorted the middle of the formation, and when he heard the inquiry, he thought for a while: "General Zhao has always been like this, except for His Majesty, General Guan Zhanger, and Prime Minister, he rarely likes others, even if he is the last general, he rarely laughs. ”
He paused for a moment, and then said: "Actually, I have been a deputy general with General Zhao for many years, and the last general feels that General Zhao is different from others, and others are attached to the Han family, or his name will remain in history, while General Zhao ...... I think he is more like living for the people, for the righteousness in his heart. ”
"Oh?"
Su Chen heard this opinion for the first time, "Can you tell me about it?" ”
"General Zhao first started with Yuan Shao, and then voted for Gongsun Zhan, and finally abandoned him, until he followed Uncle Liu Huang until now. The last general has been with General Zhao for many years, and he thought so in his heart, Yuan Benchu had a false name, although Gongsun Zhan fought against foreign races, but he was violent and inconsiderate of the people, and there was also a Liu Yu who did not go to vote, he may feel that the other party made friends with foreign races and did not like it, Uncle Liu Huang was different, with benevolence and virtue, and went to the four seas, even if he did some wrong things after entering Shu, he could also be dissuaded by General Zhao. ”
Su Chen nodded: "What you said is not bad. ”
As he spoke, a scout galloped forward, and after holding a truce horse in front, he handed a letter.
"General Qiqi, this is a letter from the messenger of the Snow Field."
Su Chen unfolded the paper and looked at the crooked shapes on it, "What is this?" ”
Thinking that maybe Yan Duo didn't know Yan Guozi, he was relieved, so he asked people to call Anu Hu, and not long after, the slave general Anu Hu rode a horse and galloped, he took the paper from Ling Rider and read it carefully, with a smile on his face.
"Na Yan Duo said that the leaders of the tribe are very enthusiastic, and they have reached a willingness to reconcile, and the general can rest assured."
"Got it, you go back to the military formation first."
Su Chen stroked the black horse under him, looked ahead and threw the letter to the ground casually, and said softly: "Very enthusiastic...... Why would they think, I'm going to believe this nonsense. ”
The surrounding generals, such as Zhang Yi, Ma Dai, Dian Wei and other generals, grinned.
Are there any recent plots that don't feel like it's enjoyable?
