In the middle of summer, in the shallow grassland, the dew accumulated in the middle of the night hangs on the tip of the grass, and then a pair of feet step on the ground, at a glance, the team stretches for several miles, and the high flag hunts and flies.

In the wind, Su Chen understood what it meant to be under the scorching sun, but he was chilled by the wind.

At this time, there is no snow to be seen, and when you look into the distance from the horseback, you can see the high mountains standing on the blue horizon, and the mountainside to the top of the mountain is covered with white snow, and there is no desolate snow field as you imagined.

"It's a nice place."

After entering the snowfield realm, Su Chen still liked the scenery around him, but as an Anu Hu who had lived here for many years, he interrupted Su Chen's fantasy.

"The general doesn't know that in the middle of summer, this place can be beautiful. Once the winter comes, the beautiful scenery will turn into a terrible hell, encountering the cold goose feather disaster snow, which will not stop for more than ten days, the livestock will freeze and starve to death, the tents will be crushed, and most of the families will freeze to death at night. In winter, it is difficult to catch prey, and there is no livestock to eat, and many people will die. ”

"Have you ever thought about building a brick house? It's much stronger than a tent. ”

"This ...... The slaves did not know this craft, and the Yan traders who came to trade did not want to transport such heavy things as bricks and stones to such a long distance. ”

Su Chen's trip over this time was to follow Zhuge Liang's strategy of stabilizing the rear, killing must not be able to kill the slaves, and transforming the other party into a sharp weapon in his hand is the best policy.

What's more, the slaves have always had a tradition of fighting for the Yan court, and it is much easier to absorb them.

In the afternoon, the sun gradually subsided, and the wind here became stronger and stronger, making people feel the chill, and many soldiers shivered with their arms around the wind.

At the same time, in the distance of the Asakusa Field, a team of dozens of horses, dressed in leather jackets and fur hats, with two fox tails or mink tails hanging on their shoulders from behind the fur hats, saw the troops coming over, dismounted, clenched their fists on their shoulders, and knelt half-down.

In the language of the slaves, he muttered a lot.

Anuhu acted as a tongue-bearer on the side and translated for Su Chen: "They are the clansmen of the beggar tribe and the big leader, and they came to meet the general of Yan Guo and led the general to the tribe as a guest. ”

"You ask them why Yan Duo didn't come to greet me." Su Chen blew away a few horsehair on the back of his hand.

After listening to Anuhu's translation, those people hurriedly followed the explanation, probably that Nayanduo and the big leader were drunk and sleeping in the tent, so they could only come over.

"Hehe, okay, the big leader really has a heart."

Su Chen smiled, then drew the horsewhip, urged the horse to move forward, and when he walked to the other party's side, he ordered these people to go to the front to lead the way for the army, Dian Wei walked to the side of the black horse and lowered his voice: "Lord, these people really have a problem, and they have been secretly looking at the number of people around." ”

"Hmm."

Here, Su Chen just replied lightly, asking Dian Wei not to startle the snake, but just summoned Ma Dai to whisper a few words to him, and the latter fell to the back of the team, and then galloped away in the field.

Soon, the shallow grass gradually disappeared into a tundra with hard soil, and the temperature plummeted, much colder than before, but fortunately there was a camp with pine forest in the background, with curling smoke rising and a fence against tigers and wolves around it, and only one side was roughly estimated to cover an area of about two miles.

In the distance, I saw a group of slaves waiting outside.

These slaves are not much different from those on Yanjing's side, but their demeanor is more wild, and when they see the soldiers and horses coming from afar, the leaders of the group clenched their fists with one hand and pressed their shoulders, and they all bowed their knees and half knelt in salute.

"Anu Hu, tell them to get up."

Su Chen turned over and dismounted, dressed in military uniforms and walked towards the other party, in the words translated by Anuhu, the leaders laughed heartily after getting up, and made welcoming gestures to invite Su Chen into the camp.

"What about the beggars?"

Su Chen asked, Anu Hu also translated, and after getting the answer, he frowned, but still reported to Su Chen truthfully: "The prisoner is still sleeping in the big tent." ”

"Anuhu, you said that this group of people wants my life, what will you do?"

"Impossible, although the big leader doesn't like outsiders, he is also a hero of slaves, and he won't do irrational things." Su Chen looked around at the tent, the slave woman was busy in the tent, and when she saw Su Chen's eyes, her eyes evaded to the side, and the child hid behind her mother and secretly revealed half of her little face.

All the way over, there was not a single old man outside, and occasionally I saw one, but I didn't come out of the tent.

Then, Su Chen said something that surprised Anuhu.

"And what if the beggar is dead?"

"Then I'll kill the traitor!" Anu Hu lowered his voice, "The five thousand warriors I brought will also fight for the general!" ”

Su Chen didn't answer him, because the big tent had already arrived in front, and there were a few leaders standing outside, but there was an extra slave in front of them, and he saw that he was wearing a higher status, but Anu Hu saw the big axe in the other party's hand, his face showed surprise, and then he was angry, and yelled at the other party in the slave language.

Tiannu smiled and slowly moved away, revealing the scene in the big tent, the body of the prisoner lying on the ground, his head had been cut off, and he was hanging in the tent, blood falling down his broken neck and braids.

All around, ten tribal leaders were bound and thrown to the ground.

"Ask where my messenger is." Looking at such a scene, Su Chen's heart didn't even feel a trace of turmoil, and he asked Anu Hu to ask the other party with an expressionless face.

"Huh...... The general is still concerned about his own life. ”

Tiannu did not answer, raised his hand and clapped a few times, and the surrounding tents suddenly sounded the sound of footsteps, and one after another sturdy figures rushed out around the tents with bows and arrows, or holding hunting knives and spears.

Rumble!

Five hundred shield halberds stood up with shields and halberds, and the second row untied the short axes at their waists and held them in the palm of their hands, and the two hundred slave soldiers brought in by Anu Hu also reacted, holding bows and spears to guard against the clansmen on both sides.

"I really don't know whether to live or die." Su Chen closed his eyes, too lazy to say more to them, and while opening his eyes, he pulled out the 'Xue Jian' on his waist, "Dian Wei, kill!" ”

The word 'kill' fell for a moment.

Hundreds of short axes were thrown in three directions, forward, left and right, and the flying axes were embedded in the unarmored chest, instantly splashing a splash of blood, and almost dozens of people fell to the ground in an instant.

"Wow! With a savage roar, the tide rushed towards the five hundred shield halberders and two hundred slave soldiers, crashing into the iron wall, hunting knives and spears slashing and stabbing, and hunting bows shooting arrows one after another.

Tiannu looked excitedly at the shortlisted imperial general, the rumored invincible person was about to die in front of him. In front of the field of vision, Su Chen was protected in the center, and a burly and tall imperial court general wielded a double halberd and jumped from the tent into the formation, and the slave warriors who tried to break the formation slashed to the ground.

"He still has warriors like you by his side, Golden Bone, you go and give the Yan people a little power, let them know that you are the strongest on the snowfield."

On the side, a tribal giant named Golden Bone grabbed the leader's axe handed by Tiannu, stepped towards the defensive line, his steps became faster and faster, and then slammed into the shield wall in front of him.

"Haha, let them see how good you are!"

Tiannu shouted excitedly, but in the next moment when he felt so excited, the huge figure pounced on the shield, and the body flew back upside down, and the heavy body slid against the frozen ground, stopping in front of Tiannu's feet, and a small halberd was inserted in the head of the golden bone.

Dian Wei glanced over here, but he couldn't even catch a flying halberd, which made him not interested at all.

Tiannu looked at the corpse on the ground in amazement, and then turned into anger in amazement, and yelled in the slave language, letting the surrounding slave warriors entangle these hundreds of people.

The last stand he pinned his hopes on was coming soon!

……

On the wasteland outside the beggar tribe, Gu Zhaowu, who was a reinforcement from Tiannu, was running away on horseback at this time, and there were only a dozen cavalry left behind him.

Spreading behind him was a rumbling group of cavalry, all wearing plush fur hats and leather armor, flying horses, constantly pulling bows and shooting arrows.

Most of these cavalry came from the Yanshan Iron Cavalry, and there were also elite light cavalry among the princes' soldiers and horses, although they could not be compared with Lu Bu's wolf cavalry for the time being, but it was more than enough to deal with the original Yanshan Iron Cavalry with only a thousand numbers, not to mention that the other party had been demoralized in the previous Yushan Original Battlefield.

It's okay to bully the slaves who don't have cavalry on the snowfield, but once they meet the cavalry led by the fierce general, they will be beaten up and scattered, and they will run directly on the wasteland.

The last Yanshan Iron Rider was shot over and fell off his horse, Gu Zhaowu only felt a sound of breaking wind, his back suddenly ached, and the whole person fell off the back of the galloping horse, he struggled to get up, and a big gun 'buzzed' and hit him in front of him.

Ma Chao lowered his gaze and stared at him coldly: "Tie it up." ”

The two Xiqiang riders jumped off the horse, took out the rope and tied the person directly, and after confiscating the weapon, they were led behind the horse's buttocks.

……

In the captive tribe, the battle resounded, and the tide of tribal warriors could not advance in the face of five hundred shield halberds no matter what, and the Anu Hu over there was not allowed to join the array with two hundred people at this time, and then the line of shield halberders counterattacked with bows and arrows.

Tiannu's face turned yellow and white, and his mind was buzzing, and he couldn't understand how the warriors of the tribe could not defeat even a few hundred people with the wildness they had cultivated in years of fighting.

Suddenly, he saw Su Chen, who was holding a blade in the array, smiling towards this side.

In the next second, more waves of fighting sounded outside the camp, people's footsteps and shouts swept from all sides, Tiannu and several other leaders were stunned, and the figure of the Yan soldiers pushed down the fence and entered the camp, soaking through the scattered tents like a tide, and a veteran in white robe and silver armor jumped on a horse and shot towards this side.

On the other end, Zhang Yi swept over the two slave soldiers who were in the way, and led more than 100 people to kill this side.

Tiannu looked at the leaders on both sides, and then raised his arms and bows and chose to aim at the veteran who rushed on horseback, preparing to break through to the other side.

The arrow flew over, and with a bang, Zhao Yun waved his gun to knock it away, looking at the barbarian, his face showed anger.

With a little belly of the horse, the white horse neighed, leaped up, the white robe flipped away, the gentian hummed softly, and the tip of the spear pointed at the head of the slave leader.

Red and white sprayed straight out of the hole.

"Warriors of the Tiannu tribe, your leader is dead—"

Anu Hu shouted loudly, and gradually, the living slaves who were charging around slowly stopped, and without the tribal leader, they seemed to have become ordinary people, looking at the Youyan soldiers who surrounded them in fear.

"If you do something wrong, you will be punished, and others will know the rules later."

Su Chen inserted his knife back into the sheath and went forward to join Zhao Yun, and Dian Wei commanded around: "The slaves who participated in the ambush are all killed!" ”

The swarming crowd was replaced by the soldiers of Youyan, who had just formed the army, and the moment they heard the order, they held their spears and stabbed wildly at the slaves who had just been fighting.

As Su Chen walked towards the big tent, the entire camp fell into slaughter, Anu Hu opened his mouth and watched one by one slave warriors fall in a pool of blood, he couldn't make a sound at all, and he didn't even dare to move.

And the five leaders were held down by a few Youyan soldiers and tied up in an extremely humiliating posture, they struggled hard, and scolded Su Chen, as well as Zhao Yun and Zhang Yi, who came over.

Su Chen took the knife from a soldier's hand, stepped forward and slashed the most fierce leader a few times, blood splashed on his face before stopping, throwing the knife to the soldier, and smiled at Zhao Yun and the two: "To deal with the barbarians, we have to kill them, the more fierce we are, the more they dare not mess around easily, and the people on the border will live more peacefully." ”

Looking at the general with blood on his face, Zhao Yun gradually smiled, and handed over a silk handkerchief: "This Yun agrees, your tone and demeanor are like Gongsun Zhan." But there is one thing, you are better than him, you know how to think about the people. ”

"The experience of the predecessors, the learning of the latecomers."

Su Chen wiped the blood on his face, looked at the ten leaders who were tied to the tent, they all stepped forward and knelt down in front of Su Chen, at this time, that Yan Duo also rushed over, he was tied up and thrown in the innermost, his body was full of scars from being whipped.

He knelt on the ground and touched his forehead.

"That Yan Duo, you didn't complete the general's order, please punish!"

"Punish you for what you did, you've done a good job."

Su Chen walked into the tent, the soldier moved the body of the prisoner and beggar outside, he sat down on the first place, Zhao Yun and Zhang Yi also sat down on both sides, and soon, the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the tent, Ma Chao and Ma Dai also came back, and after the two came in to give orders, they also threw the captured Gu Zhaowu in front of Su Chen.

"Please dispose of it generally!"

On the ground, Gu Zhaowu's back was in severe pain, and he couldn't escape at all, he glanced around, thought of a way to save himself, and immediately stared at Su Chen through gritted teeth.

"If you want to kill, you will be killed, Gu is the general of Dayan, and he will never descend to you!"

"General Gu, loyal and righteous!"

Su Chen nodded in appreciation, which made Gu Zhaowu's heart show a hint of joy, Su Chen raised his hand and waved his hand, "He is a cavalry general, so he trampled him to death with a war horse, with all loyalty." ”

Gu Zhaowu's eyes widened suddenly, and he hurriedly wanted to speak, but was grabbed and dragged out by the two Youyan soldiers who rushed over.

With the neighing of the war horse and a few miserable wails to be silenced, Su Chen beckoned to Na Yan Duo and asked him to come and sit down, and let the ten leaders sit down as well.

"Since the prisoner has been killed, the position of the big leader is vacant, and I just have a good candidate to recommend."

Su Chen patted Na Yan Duo on the side on the shoulder, "He has been a slave army, has fought in battles, and can speak Yanguo, I am very satisfied, then let him be the big leader of all your tribes, no one should object, right?!" ”

The slave warriors who resisted outside had been slaughtered, and one by one Youyan soldiers stood outside the tent with blood-dripping knives and looked in, Dian Wei grinned and stuck out his tongue, as if eating people, and licked the blood on the halberd.

After listening to Anuhu's translated words with trepidation, the ten leaders came over directly, knelt down towards Su Chen, raised their hands together above their heads, and then lay on the ground with their whole bodies.

With an expression of wanting to cry without tears, Na Yan Duo trembled and became the new leader of the slaves.

"Very well, then, I'm going to talk about the business of this time."

Su Chen stood up, let Na Yan Duo, the ten leaders and Anu Hu follow, walked out of the tent and camp and came outside, facing the howling cold wind, pointing to the surrounding wasteland.

"Remember the rest of the words, I won't repeat them a second time. In the future, many gentry and dignitaries will come here every year, and you will be responsible for protecting their safety, taking them to enjoy the scenery of the snowfield, taking them to hunt, experiencing your food, and buying some leather goods and yams.

Of course, they will pay a sum of money in return, and this money will not be paid directly to you, but after deducting taxes, it will be distributed to you, and then it will be distributed to the guards, hunters, and cooks......

…… I will arrange the source of customers, starting from Longyang and Yanzhou, there are many big families here, I will let you make money and live a good life, and what you pay is to continue to fight for me and create taxes! Do you understand? ”

Although he didn't understand very much, Yan Duo still tried his best to pretend to understand.

"Okay, clean up the camp, I'm going to stay here tonight!"

Su Chen patted the dust off his hands and turned away with Dian Wei.
