"Do you understand?"

…… What did he understand? He looked down at the jade again, and then at her.

They wanted to help him and make him the leader of the Xianbei tribes, but they didn't give him any help or clear instructions?

Only this one piece?

What can I do with this thing? If only a box......

An idea vaguely appeared in the mind that was not spinning fast.

Seeing this chess piece, he immediately wanted to get a complete box of black and white twelve six-game chess, he would think so, and so would others.

The female general had been observing his expression, and it was only then that she finally nodded slightly.

So the Tibetan treasure understood.

Less than twenty miles north of Fan City, Qianman finally set up a large camp.

Compared with the leader who lost his troops and was chased and killed by more than 1,000 cavalry, Qianman's main force was not damaged, and he still had the strength to fight, in fact, he didn't need to be so angry.

But he was still very irritable, and he drew his sword and killed a few of the captives in the camp, and then he took up his whip and beat a few of the slaves who had been serving him all along, and then gradually lost his temper.

Dead captives will no longer struggle, and scarred slaves will not resist, they will only be covered in blood or carried out and thrown away, or they will crawl out with great difficulty, find the stove pit, and sprinkle a handful of burnt ashes on their bodies, even if they have been healed and bandaged.

Qian Man didn't pay any attention to them, he was not yet twenty years old, very young, but already ambitious enough, so these trivial matters were not in his eyes, and he was only preoccupied with his own great deeds.

Before this war, he had sent cavalry several times to explore Fan Cheng and Cangtingjin, trying to find out the weak points and wait for the opportunity to attack.

But after several wars, the city and the fortress were already very strong, and the moats of Fan City were wide and deep, and Cangtingjin was the only place where he could stand on this shoal.

Cavalry cannot be used to attack a fortified city, and it is difficult to attack a camp on a soft rocky beach.

He also considered sending cavalry to plunder the civilians along the way, but after several encounters, the other side sent soldiers and horses to escort them along the way, and there were even women among those soldiers!

Woman! How can a woman use it for war?! Especially the women of the Han people, aren't they all as property as cattle, sheep, money, and silk?! But not only could they fight, but they also used weapons he had never heard of!

The crossbow in their hands can be reloaded once and they can fire ten arrows! So as long as they rushed within a hundred paces, even if they fired at each other, the cavalry would no longer be able to please - how could there be such an unreasonable thing in the world!

After this tantrum was given, Qianman ordered the heads of the subordinates to come to discuss the matter.

He is a descendant of Tanshi Huai, his grandfather Rong Ma all his life, according to the Xiongnu homeland, laid down the territory of 14,000 miles from east to west! And so he should be! He wants to lead the Xianbei iron cavalry and lay down a big territory!

While the young tribal leader gave the order in such a high spirit, the Tibetan was riding a horse back to his tribe, which was far from the water source.

There was not a single tent that was unpatched, and some people even slept in the open air, muttering to themselves how much loot had been lost after the battle.

- Maybe how many oilcloths are there? Do we have anything else of value? Can you change it? Now the weather is hot and dry, but there is nothing to do, if it rains a few nights like this, most of the children will be sick.

- Our leaders are gone! He doesn't have a few brothers, so what do we expect! Don't annex our tribes, they are all used as slaves under the account of nobles, it is already considered a blessing!

Then some of them began to weep again, until they saw the leader come back from afar, and these ragged and humble men immediately greeted them with joy!

As long as the head man is still there! Even if they sleep in the open air, they are not afraid of being taken away as slaves!

The Tibetan looked around at his own group.

The Han army is so strong, even the women are so strong, what kind of place do they sleep in and what kind of food do they eat?

What about your own people?

He subconsciously reached into his sleeve and touched the warm and clear jade chess piece.

The fog of confusion and fear in my heart seemed to dissipate quietly.

The farmland near Fan City has been harvested.

But if you want to dry, you may not have the conditions to dry, after all, these farmers have to pour into Fancheng, so there are dried grains everywhere in front of the house and behind the house, and some people are extravagant, and they beat the grain into bait cakes, taking advantage of the break in the war, and hurry to enjoy it.

When Zhang Chao entered the city, he saw such a lively scene, and even served a bowl of bait soup when he ate, which did not add oil and salt, but only added a little honey, which tasted sweet, cool and relieved of the heat.

Zhang Chao tasted the bait soup and looked at Lu Bai again.

"Captain Lu really thinks that Hu Ren can achieve great things?"

Captain Lu took a sip of sweet soup and ate a piece of snow-white bait cake, "If he is a male lord who can achieve great things, how can I keep him?" ”

She put down the bowl and smiled, "Meng Gaogong, how can there be a plan that can be successful in the world?" ”

At the beginning, Zhang Chao, Zhang Miao and others carefully planned, and took advantage of Cao Cao's going out to fight, and brought Lu Bu to overturn Yanzhou.

What a brave man Lu Bu is, there are both strategists around him, and there are so many families in Yanzhou to support him, should he be defeated in the end?

"Then why did Captain Lu do this again?"

"If Kuitou and Budugen treat Qianman like their own brothers, and Qianman treats them like father and brother, how can we use our plans?" Lu Bai pursed his lips, "Since Budugen is in command of several troops and horses, and the leader is leading the remnants away, let's guard it first, when they are impetuous, they can be seen." ”

Zhang Chao sighed.

There is no plan in the world that will succeed, but there are undefeated generals, if Lu Lian is here, they will not need to hold on to the cage city.

But no matter whether he is or Lu Bai, he doesn't have Lu Lian's talent for war—it's really an unborn talent.

"Captain Lu gave up that kind of treasure jade in order to do this," he said, "Isn't it a pity that you lost this piece of jade chess piece?" ”

Lu Bai was silent.

The look on her face seemed to carry some regret and nostalgia, but in the end she smiled quietly.

"Meng Gaogong, in fact, there is a box of chess pieces, and I only have that one left."

Although the Tibetan tribes were reluctant to light a few torches, the Chinese military camp in Qianman was brightly lit, and the aroma of fine wine wafted from it.

In addition to eating and drinking, different people have different opinions on how to attack again after rearmament.

"Erzhang has divided the troops into Fancheng, Puyang must be empty, if we use the strategy of attacking the east and the west, and order the lure troops to attack Puyang, won't Erzhang panic?" Bu Dugen analyzed, "When he returns to the defense, our army can show troops in the north of Cangting Jin, waiting for an opportunity to capture the ferry." ”

When his thoughtful words came out, several veteran leaders immediately expressed their approval.

"As long as you get Cangtingjin, you can cross the river!"

Qian Man glanced at him coldly, "Just let go of Dongjun and Lu Lian?" ”

"Da Yuan Gong sent several fierce generals of Yan Liang and Zhang He to attack Lu Lian, but they couldn't win, why should our army fight with it? Besides, Dongjun has been in tatters after a long war," Bu Dugen's thinking was extremely clear, "If we go south as soon as possible, no matter where we go, we can cut off the land and cheap grain roads when we advance, and we can loot on a large scale when we retreat, wouldn't it be cheap?" ”

The young man at the top looked at the approving glances of the leaders of the surrounding tribes, and then at his brother.

His face was visibly gloomy.

The night grew deeper.

The leader did not make a decision in the end, and when the people came out of the tent, they could not help but whisper, thinking that Budugen's strategy was superior, and that he could be the wise man of the tribe.

As they walked outside the tent, mosquitoes came and smoked away from the torches.

The fire in the tent swayed, and the figure also swayed, and there was a faint reprimand from Qianman.

Budugen was still persuading the young leader.

"If the leader is worried about the back road being cut off, it is really unnecessary, the Wuhuan people are coming, Dongjun is a dead land, we will capture Fan City, Lu Lian will lead the army in person, what should we do? If you avoid its edge, it is the best policy. ”

Qian Man's facial features twitched terribly, "Why should I avoid her?" ”

“…… Chieftain? ”

"You forgot that you are a descendant of Sandalwood! But I have not forgotten! He exclaimed, "Am I no better than a woman?!" ”

As he hurried out, his face was full of anger and worry, and the eyes of the guards around him followed him, and no one noticed that the little man had once again entered the big tent.

Before the young leader had recovered from his anger, the cups on the desk were pushed to the ground, wetting the beautiful carpet.

…… It was indeed a very thick, beautiful blanket, and large enough to hold at least seven or eight people without having to sleep on the grass if it were to be used to build a yurt.

But Qian Man didn't notice the fleeting gaze of the Tibetan Treasurer, and he still shouted at the top of his voice:

"Why are you here?"

The round-faced little man hurriedly put on a flattering smile, "I just saw something glowing in the grass outside the big tent......"

Qian Man was stunned, "Glow? ”

"Yes, yes," he took out the jade chess piece and handed it over respectfully, "Such a treasure must be the leader's ......"

He cautiously looked at Qian Man's expression, "This...... If it wasn't the chief's, it was just walking outside the tent...... Must it be the Budugen brothers? ”

The light of the fire was faint, and the warm and flawless jade chess piece shone in Qian Man's hand.

A faint fire also rose in his eyes.

Chapter 399

"This is indeed mine," Qian Man finally said, "and you have to get it back for me." ”

When he said this, his expression was a little unnatural and gloomy, but he tried his best to pretend that nothing had happened, and he immediately understood.

He bowed cautiously and stepped back, and the slave at the tent door lifted the curtain for him.

They were two young Xianbei slaves, strong in stature, their bronzed skin shimmering a little in the moonlit night and the firelight, and the scars on them were very clear.

The Tibetans turned a blind eye to this, and the chiefs would whip their slaves, but usually when they did something wrong. Some well-behaved slaves will not only not be beaten, but will even be regarded as henchmen by the chief.

But Qianman is a little different, he is still a young man, and there is still a cruelty in his heart that is peculiar to children, so he takes pleasure in whipping slaves from time to time.

For example, the two slaves guarding the door of the tent - Tibetan Zang glanced at them, and his heart suddenly moved slightly.

"Has the chief punished you today?" After he left the account, he asked in a whisper.

The two slaves looked at each other in surprise and lowered their heads in unison.

He took it out of his arms, took out a small box of ointment, and handed it over.

The slave was so frightened that his face changed color, "...... is this, noble?" ”

"I brought it before the war, but fortunately I didn't use it much," Zang said with a smile, "just use it." ”

He didn't care, as if the box of ointment was really some worthless gadget, but when he was about to walk out of the barracks, the round-faced fat man quietly looked back again.

The two slaves gathered together, as if they were talking excitedly, one took the ointment and quietly went to the tent where the slaves lived behind, and the other watched him leave, and just as he was about to turn his face, the Tibetan quickly slipped out of the Chinese military camp.

There was only one slave absentmindedly guarding the door, but Qian Man didn't even notice it.

All of his mind was snatched up by the jade chess piece.
