Regardless of whether the ferocity of the wolf was bred from the cowardice of the sheep, this skirmish at the nameless hill made the soldiers and civilians of the Great Xia Border Pass in Northern Xinjiang regain the self-confidence and dignity of the empire. At this time, Chang Polu also had nearly 50,000 horses in his hands.

Originally, the prince of the Ranger Kingdom, who had been attacking the city all the way, was able to ride Sheng'an in less than a month, and I heard that the chair that the emperor Lao Er was sitting on in Ziwei City, Sheng'an, was all gold, and I didn't know what it was like to sit on it.

But when his subordinates picked up the corpses of the hundred or so ranger squads, the eldest prince came back to his senses, and he was afraid that it would not be so easy to kill Sheng'an all the way. Especially seeing these ranger warriors who died in battle, not only were they scarred, but also all the heads that were left were cut off, which was originally a means of deterring opponents invented by the grassland lord Liang Muha, but he didn't expect to be returned by a tooth for a tooth.

When he first saw the tragic death of these subordinates, he grinned with his deflated teeth, and was about to lead the army to pay off the blood debt, but the master on the side reached out to stop him.

During this time, Tokhtar trusted this master more and more, and it was with the help of this master's "magic art" that the rangers, who were originally only good at field warfare and not good at siege, actually took down five cities in one go. Unexpectedly, this time the master wanted to stop him from taking revenge, if he had been someone else, Tokhtar would have broken out long ago. In the face of the teacher, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and patiently asked,

"Master, have you made me watch the soldiers die so miserably without taking revenge?

The lama lifted his orchid fingers and gently brushed up the three locks under his chin, and his small eyes were completely narrowed into two thin slits, and if you looked closely, you could see that his original dry and old bark had moistened a lot.

"Don't forget, eldest prince, that now we are robbing money and food in other people's homes and slaughtering lives. If it is said to be revenge, then should Great Xia come to take revenge on us?"

Even in the face of the guru, suffering such ridicule, the eldest prince's fiery temper suddenly exploded, he bounced up from the cushion, and with a loud thud, the sword was unsheathed, and all the guards in the tent also stepped forward and surrounded the master in the middle.

The master still squinted his golden eyes, but his body was more steady, and the guards had seen his methods, and although they seemed loyal in front of the eldest prince, they were all just bluffing, and did not have the courage to be the first to make a move.

Toto's face turned red, and his heart was entangled for a long time, and finally with a wave of his hand, all the guards took a breath and retreated, only Iron Arrow Tucker still stared at the master, revealing the dissatisfaction in his heart.

"Tucker, you step down too, I have something to talk about with my master. Tucker!"

Tucker returned home, the dagger in his hand back into his belt, and he was the only guard who dared to show his blade in front of his master.

Ever since the Guru had drained the blood of a captive in front of everyone, everyone began to turn away from the Guru, for fear that they would also be sucked into a shriveled bag by the Guru.

Tokhtam tried to separate the crowd again, "I have something to talk about with my guru. ”

Tucker was quite worried, and stood close behind Toto, "The eldest prince ......"

"I don't understand, I have something important to discuss with my master, you all go down for me!" Tucker had no choice but to follow the guards out of the tent.

The tent was quiet, and he waited for a while, and the master kept his eyes squinted, as if he was asleep, although the eldest prince did not want to admit it, but in fact, it was not that he was controlling the master now, but that the master was more like a master.

Helpless, he finally took the initiative to speak, "Master, why did you stop me from taking revenge. ”

The master remained silent, and suddenly, there was a sound of puffing and flapping wings from the top of the tent, and when he looked up, he saw a strange bird flying in through the skylight of the tent, slightly smaller than a pigeon, with pure black feathers, a pointed beak and claws, but bright red.

The strange bird circled for a long time and finally landed on the teacher's shoulder.

The guru stretched out his fingers like dead branches and gently brushed them on the back of the strange bird, and the strange bird shook its feathers and closed its eyes, which seemed to be very useful.

Then, the black pigeon put his mouth close to the teacher's ear, and chirped for a long time, and the master nodded slightly as if he understood, and finally, he held the black pigeon in his hand, and saw that the palm of his hand was exerting force, and the whole palm of his hand was clenched into a strong fist, and with a poof, the black pigeon puffed into a puff of black smoke, which drifted away from between the teacher's fingers.

"The eldest prince, the one who led the team this time was the governor of the five armies of Great Xia, and he was ......often captured."

Totoh's body trembled when he heard this name, it was one of the two names that the Northern Wilderness Ranger hated to hear. The other is that it is the Great Xia God of War Tiankuihou.

"What can he do?" Tokh concealed the panic in his heart just right, "I just want to regain the lost dignity for our Northern Wilderness Ranger. ”

There was an imperceptible sneer on the master's face, but his tone was very sincere,

"Prince, I don't doubt your determination and courage, but what I promised you hasn't been done yet. ”

The guru had only given Tokhtar one promise, but it was this promise that was the most important thing in Tokhtar's eyes. What the Guru promised was the white hat that could be placed on the prince's head, the name that symbolized the "emperor's" power.

The master's explanation made Totoku unable to refute, after all, on this trip, Totoku only carried 50,000 Beiyuan rangers on his hands, and there were no other soldiers to add, and now the relationship between Nanbei Yuan is delicate, once these 50,000 elite horsemen go out of the pool, the consequences are unimaginable.

But the consequences that really made Tokh worry about it, he had to think that once the 50,000 elite horsemen could not be brought back completely, then the father King Liangmuha was only afraid that he would not be able to make a difference, and now there were about 50,000 reserve corps left in the hands of the grassland lord, once he wanted to abolish himself, then he had no bargaining chips in his hands, Tokh had followed Liangmuha to fight for many years, and had slaughtered many ranger tribes, knowing that once he angered his father, he was afraid that he would also move his head.

The guru privately consulted with Tokhtar to delay the return of the country on the grounds that he was trapped in the requisition, so that the tribe would inevitably complain about the lack of food and grass for the winter, and even though his prestige was still there, he could not let his men go hungry to fight him. When Tokhtar returns to the tribe, he can rely on the money and food he has stolen to take over the entire Northern Wilderness Ranger in a logical manner.

"Remember, eldest prince," the lama repeatedly emphasized, "you are a great man, and you have the whole world in your eyes, but if you want to seek Kyushu, you must first have a stable rear that can constantly pump blood to you." ”

Of course, the lama also hid his selfishness, that is, during this time, he had extracted a lot of fresh blood from those children and girls in Great Xia, and he urgently needed to quietly refine the vitality in these bloods in order to refine the "elixir" he needed.

The refining of the "elixir" requires a quiet and stable environment, and in the current days of marching and fighting every day, the master cannot concentrate on alchemy.

Tokhtar doesn't care about the master's alchemy, what he is most concerned about is how to hold the 50,000 ranger elites firmly in his hands, since he was a child, he has followed Liangmu Ha to lick the blood from the knife edge, and leveled the opponent on the grassland, he understands too well the value of strength for survival.

Tokhtar has resisted the orders of the master several times in a row, and even those messengers of the Golden Horde who gave orders have been evaporated by the Guru with the acquiescence of Tokhtar, and now Tokhtar can only go on according to the Guru's strategy.

Right now, he suddenly encountered the help of the top general in the Great Xia world, and with his eyes closed, he could imagine that the reinforcements brought by Chang Polu, the first general of the Great Xia Empire, would be at least several times as large as himself.

After weighing it again and again, Tokhtoku also figured it out, instead of taking the risk of continuing to entangle with Chang Poyu on the ground of Great Xia, it was better to take the fruitful harvest from this plunder, and triumphantly take the class.

In order to establish his authority, Tokhtar ordered his men to kill the prisoners before they were pulled.

These captives of Great Xia, since they were taken away and imprisoned in the military camp, are destined to have their purgatory life for the rest of their lives. Because the Northern Wilderness is a remote place to the coldest, although after several generations of efforts, cattle and sheep are herds, but they are always sparsely populated. If conditions permit, the Southern Expeditionary Grain Cavalry will easily capture some young and beautiful women and strong men to fill the vacancies in the Northern Wilderness.

But these slaves not only had to do more work than they could physically handle, but they were also subjected to widespread insults and intimidation, often quickly and soon perishing to the grasslands.

Obviously, this batch of Tokhtar has gained a lot, and the Great Xia prisoners in his hands are also more than the prisoners of the previous several southern expeditions to the grain and cavalry, and now in order to get rid of this batch of captives and return north as soon as possible, Tokhtar intends to execute these nearly 3,000 Daxia captives in public.

Of course, Tokhtar's reason for finding it was to double the repayment for the dead rangers, but Tucker was dissatisfied and wanted to stop Tokhtar's rebellion.

"Prince, these Great Xia captives are not official households, the grain we loot is cultivated by these people, if you kill them all, then we want to go south to collect grain in the future, but I am afraid that there will be no harvest." ”

Toto's face sank down, and he didn't answer, suggesting that he couldn't bear Tucker's meddling anymore. There is no intention of changing your mind.

So, the bloody scene was staged again, in the direction of the Tokhtar camp facing Daxia, those prisoners of Daxia were tied up and knelt to the south, the sabers of the rangers were raised again and again, and they were cut off together, and the heads of those captives rolled down the hillside where the execution was carried out, like a clump of weird tumbleweeds.

Liang Muha, who is deep in the Northern Wilderness, is hiding on his bed at the moment, wrapping his body in a thick felt pad. But even so, I was shivering from the cold.

The snow froze everything, and even the last bit of firewood and grass for the fire was used up in the Hasuya tribe. Liang Mu Ha was so angry that he was seriously ill, and the Lord of Nihuang and Lady Mo Lun were guarding his bedside every day.

When the Nihuang County Lord was there, Madame Mo Lun tried her best to appear to be separated from Liangmu Ha. And when the Nihuang County Lord sat on the edge of Liang Muha's bed, Mrs. Mo Lun stood behind the Nihuang County Lord with her hands down.

"Hasn't the Southern Expedition Grain Rider come back yet?"

"Nope. ”

"Where's Totok?

I don't know how many times Liangmuha asked this question, but every time I could only see the Nihuang County Lord shaking his head helplessly.

"Alas, I'm hurting Toto, by the way, what about Wobeitai, why hasn't this kid come over to say hello today?"

The guards on the side bowed their hands to the male lord Liangmu Hashi, "The second prince took the brothers to shovel snow day and night to protect the family, and he also sent some 'grain search teams' to brave the wind and snow to see if they could find some food that could be used to save themselves." ”

"Hmm" Liang Muha nodded slightly, and then glanced at the two younger sons who followed him in front of the bed, "Tieshan" and "Shibu", the two children were sensible and not noisy, and they seemed to have grown into men on the grassland.

"I hope you brothers will always be good brothers. As soon as Liang Muha's words fell, he fell into a deep sleep again.
