The sun is shining on his face, and the exhaustion on his body is slowly fading.

Su Chen listened to the footsteps of the soldiers around him and talked in a low voice, which was a reassuring feeling.

It's just peace of mind...... Quite a few people died...... Fuck. ’

Thinking of the other party's ambush this time, I thought that the other party had great powers and resourcefulness, and predicted in advance that he would clean up Xirong, or did he leak the news, so that the western grasslands were ambushed early.

Who knows, the other party also chose to want to annex the corpse at this time.

It happened that he launched a blitz corpse to chase the tribe's movements, so that the slightly slower tribe lurked and sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight.

'But...... Why would the Devil want to annex a large tribe that is also not inferior to him, and it seems that he intends to target me......

Thinking about it, Su Chen opened his eyes and sat up, the corpses of our side on the battlefield were already being collected, and the living people were taking out the family letters from the arms of their dead comrades.

The grassland is scarce, and it is winter, so there is no way to deal with the burning and bring the ashes back, so you can only dig a pit and fill it.

The heaviest loss this time was the shield halberd soldiers, a total of two thousand, of which 500 had been staying in the Yanjing Imperial Palace, and the 1,500 people who went out on the expedition were mostly the imperial city armor soldiers of that year, and there were also some veterans of the Ding'an army.

Of the 1,500, only 700 survived, and more than 100 were seriously injured and disabled.

The 5,000 slave army, they have low armor protection, but they are hardy, tall, good at bows, crossbows, and throwing knives, but in the melee, they survived a lot, and only suffered more than 1,100 casualties.

"Prepare a cart to carry the seriously injured soldiers back to Yantang Pass, do not sleep on the way, and must be stationed in the tribes that have been cleaned up along the way!"

"The armor and weapons will be stacked here for the time being, and then let the other soldiers and horses pull them."

"And war horses...... That's the single biggest takeaway......"

After a few successive orders, let Ling Qi leave, Su Chen watched as the corpses over there passed from his field of vision, being carried into the mud pit.

He walked to the edge of the pit, looked at it for a while, and knelt down abruptly, and kowtowed three heads to the soldiers of the Youyan Army and the Living Slave Army who were carrying and shoveling the soil.

After bowing silently for three times, Su Chen was helped up by Wu Zixun who rushed over, "King, what are you doing!?" ”

"Thank them for saving their lives!" Su Chen's cheeks puffed up, "The escort army has increased the upper limit in the back, and there is a permanent cavalry, and regular soldiers and horses." This cannot happen again. ”

Taking a deep breath, Su Chen turned his head away and returned to the ancestral car, Dian Wei had been carried back by the soldiers, half of his body was lying in the carriage, snoring like thunder.

Outside the chariot, Xu Chu was wrapped in bandages on half of his body, and looked at Dian Wei who was sleeping soundly for a while, probably not to figure out what was going on here, he fought a battle in a daze, and saw Dian Wei as if he suddenly burst out, as if no one was in a country.

Jia Xu was naturally familiar with him, and was talking to him on the side.

"What? Zhang Fei and Ma Chao are also here? And Lu Bu's house?! ”

Xu Chu's eyes widened, he grabbed the tiger head knife inserted on the ground, and shouted angrily to find a few of them, and was scolded by Su Chen: "Huhou, you just wrap this bandage and let them laugh to death?" Stop.

Xu Chu clenched the hilt of the knife and glared at Su Chen, but he vaguely looked at Su Chen's squinted demeanor and Cao Cao's full likeness, and suddenly felt a lot more kind.

As if he saw Cao Cao, he stammered: "Lord...... Lord? ”

"Huhou, rest for a while, and then talk about it after fighting Xirong, you guard the car first, don't let the others get close by half a step."

Su Chen threw the Xia Wang Sword in his hand to Wu Zixun, and his tone and demeanor were very similar to Cao Cao. He treats the tiger idiot Xu Chu differently from the rest, if he talks to death, he may really drill into death.

Of course, this is also when it's okay, Cao Cao told Su Chen an interesting story.

"Hey!" Xu Chu picked up the knife, and in Jia Xu's confused gaze, he turned around and came back, standing beside the chariot, and reacted after a while, "Hey, no, why should I listen ......?"

Su Chen turned around: "Huh? ”

Facing Su Chen's 'Cao thief' gaze, Xu Chu's face was full of flesh and suddenly smiled, holding the knife in his arms, holding his round belly, and scanning the passing soldiers around him with a solemn expression.

Over there, there was a Sergeant Youyan escorting a man over, his armor was much stronger than that of ordinary herdsmen, and there was a fox tail behind his leather helmet.

During this period of time, the captured captives should be the big leaders in the royal court.

"King, this person can speak Yan dialect."

Su Chen asked Wu Zixun to take off the big coat on his body, and at the same time took water and poured it on the cuirass to wash away the blood scale: "Tell me, who is the leader of the army?" ”

"Back to ...... Back to the Xia King of Yan Kingdom...... "The big danghu Yan Guo's speech was smooth, he knelt on the ground, and his forehead touched the ground: "It's Tuoba Beetle, the first warrior of the grassland." ”

Xu Chu looked back from there, snorted coldly, and turned back again.

"Why did you set up an ambush in the central grasslands so early?"

Su Chen rinsed his hand and took the water bag and poured it: "To be honest, you can live, think clearly." ”

"Back to the king, the Khan wants to annex the corpses."

"Why not last year, or next year, but precisely this time?"

"Because ......" The big boss of the Yu tribe hesitated a little, and Wu Zixun on the side kicked the other party's calf in the past: "Say!" Then he held his toes and jumped on the ground, grinning in pain.

Seeing this, the big man had to hurriedly say, "Listen to the Khan...... He wanted something on the king's body, as if he could live forever...... Rejuvenation. Therefore, he wanted to annex the central and eastern grasslands, integrate soldiers and horses, and attack the Yan Kingdom. Originally, the tribal warriors who went out this time would concentrate on attacking the corpse royal court, but when they heard that the Yan army had entered the central grassland, the Khan asked Tuoba to divide his troops to come to ambush. ”

Su Chen closed his eyes and quietly listened to the other party's words, most of which were the same as Jia Xu's speculation, but the only reason was the rumor of the secret art of immortality.

Xiao Moyu's rumors finally fermented.

This guy has been fleeing westward, and after entering the Liang Kingdom, he doesn't know where to hide, and it's really hard to find such a person in other countries.

In the future, I don't know how many cats and dogs will jump out, openly and secretly coming to him for immortality.

If he could take it out, it would be good to recruit people to his command, but where does he really have this thing?

Su Chen leaned on the chariot and looked at the body of the fallen soldier who was still being buried over there, his eyes were half-closed for a while, and he hooked his fingers.

"Lonely you have a way to live, go back and tell the ghost, I do have the secret art of immortality here, which can make the old man younger day by day, if he wants, he can give it to him, but there are conditions, recognize Gu as the khan of this grassland, and serve Yan Country as the main one, and the last one ......"

Su Chen retracted his gaze and looked at the approaching big lord of the Sulu tribe.

"On the last condition, let the Demon Khan come to see me in person, and wait for him alone in the corpse royal court."

After speaking, he waved his hand and asked the other party to leave.

"Zhongshu Ling, you guessed right, but it's for the secret art of immortality."

"It is common for people in the world to believe in immortality, just as Emperor Qin and Han Wu are so ambitious, it is inevitable to seek immortality."

"Let's go!"

Su Chen got into the chariot and asked the soldiers to find a war horse to replenish the horses pulling the cart to six, "Right now, the other party should still have a soldier and horse, waiting to attack the corpse royal court." ”

He looked at the sun as it crossed midday.

"I don't know if the champion Hou and Wen Hou have met each other at this time."
