Chapter 117: Tribal Emissary

"Should I call you Captain Gao, or Your Excellency the Vampire King?"

After a month of absence, Xingxia's injuries healed, his face was ruddy, his eyes were bright, he jumped off the horse and threw the saber to the guards, walked over empty-handed, stopped six or seven steps in front of Gao Yuan, and embarrassed him when he spoke. The vampire demon king, the student soldier has Li Longbow to explain to people, everyone should be a joke after cooking, but it is more and more mysterious among the tribal cavalry, and it has evolved into a virgin who eats virgins, praying for the wolf god to appear and kill the demon king.

"If he is the Demon King, you can still stand here!" Li Changgong rushed over when he heard the news, and saw that Xingxia's demeanor was arrogant and sarcastic, and he was not happy, and his subordinates were defeated and shaky, so he wanted to expose his old bottom and let Gao Yuan grab the conversation: "Whether I drink human blood and eat human flesh, you should be clear, if you are not sincere, you might as well go back to help the grassland cavalry attack the camp, I will not scold you for revenge." ”

"Grace will take revenge? After reading this, let's talk about your grievances again. ”

Xingxia took out a small leather bag from his arms and threw it over, Gao Yuan took it and pinched it, took out the letter inside and hurriedly flipped through it, and put it back into the leather bag and hid it closely, not even allowing Li Longbow to look at it.

"You and I have clear grievances and grievances, and have made great contributions to the students, Xingxia, please-" Gao Yuan bowed down to greet the guests, Xingxia stood still, and looked at Li Changgong with bad intentions: "Did you hear it, the demon king and I have no grudges, shouldn't our accounts be settled." ”

"I'm afraid you'll not succeed!"

As soon as Li Changgong finished speaking, his body flew up, Xingxia's body was as fast as a ghost, and he kicked him out of Zhang Xu Yuan, his toes happened to be on his waist, lying on the ground and difficult to move, he kept shouting in pain, the guards pulled out their knives and were about to besiege, Gao Yuan waved his hand to repulse, Xingxia's martial arts were too weird, so fast that he couldn't stop it.

"Take revenge, let's get down to business. ”

Gao Yuan picked up Li Longbow, used his internal strength to help him break through the acupoint, and grabbed his wrist to prevent him from rushing over, Xingxia was avenging the whipping and kicking that day, and the shot was measured, and the pain passed after a while. Xingxia saw that Gao Yuan was silent and unraveled Li Changgong's sealed acupoint, and secretly admired in his heart, the fire may not be as good as his own, but the level of qi refining is comparable, the age difference between the two is more than ten years, and the level of achievement in the future is self-evident.

"Demon King, 6,000 students and 5,000 guards, more than 2,000 killed in battle, three or four thousand wounded, more than half of the casualties, and the reinforcements are blocked hundreds of miles away, do you still want to fight?"

Gao Yuan smiled and said nothing, Xingxia snorted coldly and continued: "Yes, the tribe has suffered more casualties, more than 13,000 warriors have been killed in battle, and the casualties have reached more than 20,000, but don't forget, there are no less than 70,000 cavalry surrounding the transport team, and the grassland can also transfer more than 100,000 elite cavalry, and you must lose if you continue to fight, listen to my advice, take people back, for the sake of preferential treatment of prisoners of war, the tribe will not intercept and chase." ”

"Xingxia came from afar, don't be a lobbyist, go, I'll take you to visit the student camp, and when you can't talk about it again, you also know it. ”

Xingxia brought an old man and a young entourage with him, the old one walked tremblingly, the younger one was only seven or eight years old, Gao Yuan wanted people to take him down to rest, Xingxia shook his hand and smiled: "Uncle is my elder, I don't believe you will drink human blood, if you don't come to study with your own eyes, if there is no ghost in your heart, don't worry about finding out." ”

"Okay, Yunfei, go to the craftsman's camp to find Wei Tou, borrow two soft chairs, and carry the old man and the little boy away, hehe. Gao Yuan smiled at the old man kindly, took out the short knife seized from Wuzong from the boot, and handed it to the child: "Uncle frightened your father's martial arts, only to find that the little guy is coming, and this knife is given to you as a gift." ”

"Uncle Xie gave me a knife. The child was not afraid of life at all, bent down and saluted generously, and then took the short knife with both hands, and pulled the knife out of the sheath with a loud bang, and everyone only felt cold in front of them.

"Good knife!" Xingxia couldn't help shouting, took the short knife from the child's hand, looked left and right, and the child muttered dissatisfiedly: "My meeting gift, uncle is not for you." Xingxia was so angry that he scolded: "Will Lao Tzu still be greedy?" Causing everyone to laugh, Li Changgong took out a silver ticket and gave it to the child: "Your father loves to hold grudges, see how generous your uncle is, and buy toys." The child saluted and took it, and when he saw that he was busy throwing it away, he shouted with wide eyes: "You are not a good person, five thousand taels of silver, you must have been robbed, I don't want it." ”

Li Changgong smiled embarrassedly: "Hehe, you are the head of the horse bandits, you still dislike your uncle, take it honestly, pick it for a long time, and come to the right place with this silver ticket." ”

"Didn't lie?" The child was suspicious, Gao Yuan picked up the silver ticket and handed it over: "He didn't lie to you, uncle testified, rest assured to take it, go back and buy gifts for your friends." ”

"Uncle Xie Gao, Uncle Xie Li. The child happily put away the short knife and silver ticket, and saw that the guards nodded directly, the child was still so polite, and the name of the righteous bandit star was well deserved.

Chang Yunfei borrowed a soft chair and tied it into a sedan chair, the child resolutely did not sit, the old man thanked him and sat up, because he was the elder of Xingxia, Gao Yuan and Li Changgong took the lead in carrying it out of politeness, and no one paid attention to it, and the strange light in the old man on the soft chair flashed.

The standard commanders did not listen to Gao Yuan's dissuasion, and led the troops to fight at night in anger, resulting in the death of more than 1,000 students, and they were ashamed after returning to the camp.

"Gao Yuan, are you too generous, I'll go back and draw it, the warriors will attack the camp again, and the soldiers will suffer a big loss. Xingxia glanced at the map documents, none of them were flipped over, the child looked at the album curiously, the old man's cloudy eyes swept quietly, and the sparse white eyebrows trembled slightly.

Infantry archers and cavalry, the medical department of the Chinese army's tent armor, Gao Yuan led Xingxia to turn around the camp, and finally came to the wounded artisan camp, thousands of wounded soldiers and two thousand craftsmen mixed together, talking and laughing busy but not chaotic, when they walked to the rocket spraying area that Wei Tou was responsible for, the old man coughed twice on the sedan chair, Xingxia pretended to be curious and stopped, and watched by the work platform for a long time, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

"Uncle, do you also like to play with fireworks?" The child picked up a spout rocket and looked at it with hope in his eyes, so that Gao Yuan didn't know how to answer, and he couldn't tell the child that this was not fireworks, but a weapon to kill.

"Uncleβ€”"

The child didn't get the answer he wanted, and put down the spout rocket aggrievedly under the staring of his father, Takagaki felt like there was a string in his heart that made the invisible pluck, since he was a child, he grew up in the remnant of the army, and the grandfathers took care of him meticulously, but the age difference was insurmountable after all, and there was almost no memory of childhood play in his mind, and the child's grievances poked at his weakness.

"I haven't let off fireworks, you come to teach your uncle, okay?" bent down to pick up dozens of spray rockets, Gao Yuan was still unsatisfied, turned his head and instructed Wei Tou: "Carry out five boxes of fireballs used in the crossbow, and set off fireworks in front of the camp gate tonight." ”

"Thank you, uncle!" the child jumped up with joy, and the old man in the soft chair sighed in his heart. Didn't let go of fireworks, how bitter the orphan's childhood should be, but in order to make the friend's child happy, not to let the tears of grievance flow, he actually wanted to put the precious weapon as fireworks, the son of the lover is like a few sons, a young man who has never lost his love, call him a demon who is a human, if he didn't see it with his own eyes, the notoriety spread all over the tribal camp, who would believe that he hid the weapon and never used it, until the tribal martial arts assassination was forced to show up and fight back.

After visiting the camp and returning to the military tent, the banquet had already been prepared, Coach Qiu and the three standard commanders personally accompanied, and did not talk about the war during the banquet, Fang dismissed the banquet and left, completely handing over the negotiation task to Gao Yuan, Xingxia drank a lot of wine, and grinned when he saw this: "Haha, I guessed right, you have a lot of weight in this camp." ”

"Let the tribal cavalry surround it, tens of thousands of people can't move an inch, it's good to have no weight, don't take responsibility. The guards removed the banquet, and Gao Yuan ordered a few more cold dishes to come up, holding the wine jug and Xingxia to drink, and the old man and the child rested behind the tent.

"I wasn't optimistic about the student soldiers before I came, so don't lie to me now. Xingxia drank the wine in the cup, and his words were a little bitter: "More than 3,000 wounded soldiers are basically slightly injured, but they are hit by stray arrows, you have good doctors and medicines, and they can recover in a few days, 2,000 students died in battle, killed more than 13,000 cavalry of the tribe, and the casualties are more than one to six, and the tribe can't afford to eat the convoy." ”

"The tribe can't fight and run, and the student soldiers have no way out except to fight to the death, hehe, it's not that the tribal cavalry has low combat power, the student soldiers are all selected elites, the future officers of the empire, the results can only be said, but the two sides don't have to have this death and injury, not the enemy but to fight to the death, sad and pitiful. ”

Gao Yuan's wine glass did not stop, the wine was poured into his mouth like water, Xingxia was willing to admit defeat for a while, and the anti-guest put away the wine jar and wine jug for the main guest, sighed and said clearly: "I know the difficulties of learning soldiers, and the tribal elders know better, the county lord Duguying can only take the initiative to attack in order to avoid the conspiracies of competitors, alas, I will no longer hide it from you, the more than 40,000 cavalry sent to intercept the main force of the students were all wiped out, more than 10,000 were killed in battle, and more than 1,000 ran away, hehe, the rest became prisoners, your reinforcements are only a few hundred miles away, and the siege is only in three or five days." ”

"I see. "After listening to Xingxia's explanation of the war of the Chinese army, Gao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, Yan Zifeng was slow to bring the head of the standard camp, it turned out to be to join the Chinese army, and annihilated the intercepted cavalry in one fell swoop, this battle was too beautiful, the tribal cavalry surrounding the transport team was left about 50,000, and 30,000 reinforcements came, and it was not difficult to defeat or even eliminate the inside and outside, and the tribe sent people to sue for peace.

"The elders will have a disagreement with the war, the two big tribes of the main battle, sent Wuzong to assassinate the head of the scholars, as a result, the two let cut off their heads to demonstrate, the other did not even return to the camp, I don't know where to flee, and then lost nearly eight thousand elites, the vitality of the main battle tribe was greatly damaged, and they had to bow their heads and sue for peace, as long as the soldiers agreed to the conditions, they would no longer interfere with your building a city in the grassland. ”

"Xingxia, are the defeated qualified to negotiate terms? ”

The conditions of the tribe are very simple, the Qinghui soldiers can only build a city to fight against the sunset Cuihua, and they are not allowed to go to the grassland to build fortresses everywhere, as compensation, the tribe will protect the safety of the convoy, and the two sides will trade fairly if necessary.

"In order to make the tribe reach an agreement, even the noble high priest personally came forward to persuade him, Gao Yuan, the descendants of the wolf god have grown up on horseback since they were children, and it is really a matter of life and death, it is a bit exaggerated that everyone can ride a horse and shoot arrows, and it is not a false threat to gather hundreds of thousands of cavalry, you lift the embargo on the tribe's materials, and there is no need to divide troops to protect the convoy, and the truce is beneficial to both sides. ”

Gao Yuan sighed: "If this was the case a long time ago, how could tens of thousands of people die in vain, and once it will be successful, ten thousand bones will wither, and the wolf god will leave this beautiful prairie, when can it really be peaceful for a long time." ”

"One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, and things are man-made, and it is enough to have this heart. ”

The curtain was windless and automatic, and the old man brought by Xingxia floated into the tent, and there was no longer a little bit of old age, and in Gao Yuan's surprised gaze, Xingxia was already half-kneeling on the ground: "Welcome to the high priest." (To be continued.) )
