The devil is coming

Chapter 502
The migration of such a large tribe cannot be completely concealed, unless there are no old, weak, women and children in the tribe, but only young and strong warriors who can ride horses and bend bows. The latter can form their own concealment by looting and killing people along the way and moving at high speed. , and the former is basically impossible if you bring a family with you.
At the same time, various nearby savage tribes also sent their own warriors and began to come out to conduct surveillance. More and more of these warriors gathered. You had two to three thousand, and others had four to five thousand. Soon, this tribe migrated. On the way, a total of nearly 2 savage warriors from various tribes began to stare at them.
The various ministries also began to pass news quickly, and at the same time, new warriors began to enter from the periphery.
The snowfield has always had its own survival and development model. To use the blind man's saying, the lower the productivity, the clearer the survival rules are.
The entire snowfield is a huge Gu breeding ground.
A few years ago, a Savage King was raised. After the Savage King was defeated by the Yan people, the black dragon flag on the Snow Pass became a nightmare for many tribes in the Snow Plains.
Fortunately, this nightmare has no intention of entering the snowfield in a large scale for the time being. Therefore, although everyone does not dare to jump like the Naiman tribe, it is certain to continue to maintain the annexation, absorption and development of the tribe.
This new migrating tribe is like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and the warriors sent by the surrounding tribes are intended to divide the meat.
Soon, some knowledgeable tribal elders made guesses from some of the characteristics of this migrating tribe, thinking that this tribe was probably from the far north.
The snowfield is large, but there are not many places suitable for living and breeding. The far north is considered a restricted area for the wild people in the snowfield themselves.
But this does not mean that there are no tribes living there. In fact, there are some tribes there, but the tribes there are generally weak and extremely scattered.
Because, for any powerful tribe, people would have come out from the far north to grab a pasture in other parts of the snowfield.
And the leaders of these tribes wandering around the periphery also saw that these tribes seemed to be together, but in fact, they should be spliced ​​together.
It is common for savage tribes in the snowfield to migrate. They move from one pasture to another to achieve the purpose of resting grazing. This is a treatment only available to large tribes;
Small and medium-sized tribes have to migrate as a whole due to environmental changes and changes in water and grass. This is the normal situation in the snowfield;
Therefore, the Xueyuan tribe basically has the experience of migration and has rich experience.
When relocating, the tribe's livestock, old, weak, women and children will be arranged in specific locations. The warriors within the tribe will be integrated and a main force will be divided into a fist to march in front, while the other part will surround the tribe. Cruising.
The former showed off their military power to other tribes who dared to change their minds, while the latter guarded against some people taking advantage of the situation and causing chaos.
As for the current migrating tribe, although the warriors among them are extremely poorly equipped and rarely see armor, their numbers are actually quite large. There are very few old people in the team, which means that they are very little burden. After all, In that place in the far north, those who can survive have been cruelly screened by nature.
But their young and strong men were all divided into various parts of the team and did not gather together at all. Especially when they discovered that the external tribal troops had malicious intentions, they almost instinctively divided into groups one after another.
The law of survival in the snowfield is that when you face a pack of wolves, you should aim your last arrow at one wolf, so that the entire wolf pack will be afraid of you.
But this team obviously didn't do it.
Several large tribes that have sent troops have begun to blow their horns and raise their own flags. The previous wait was firstly for warriors from all walks of life to gather, and secondly to discuss how to divide the food among the 3 people in front of them. , this is a feast for everyone.
At the front of the migration team, a gray-haired old man with a string of human skulls hanging around his neck squinted and looked around.
There are nearly a thousand warriors protecting him.
He is Sang Hu, who was once a great general under the Savage King. He originally had a grudge against the Star Sacrifice, but was placed by the Savage King as the Great Elder of the Star Envoy.
When Wangjiang was defeated, he and the Savage King were separated. After a lot of hard work, he finally returned to the snowfield.
As the most loyal subordinate to the Savage King, he went to find the [-] loyal warriors who had been left behind by the Savage King when he entered the pass. This was the last resort.
Leading these more than 800 warriors, Sang Hu went to the far north, where he gathered a large number of scattered small tribes and finally became a little more peaceful again.
He is waiting, waiting for the return of the king;
Even though there were rumors that Wang had been killed by the Yan people or captured in Yanjing, he was still waiting.
He has no children, no worries, and such a person is actually the most loyal.
at last,
He received a letter from the king.
Therefore, he immediately led this patchwork tribe and began to migrate south.
At this time, he faced the soldiers and horses of the savage tribes around him. There was no fear in his eyes, but he silently let his men fly the royal flag of the savage king!
The royal flag of the Savage King is made of snow wolf leather, and shines silver in the sunlight.
The former Wang Banner was lost on the battlefield and was brought back to Yanjing as a trophy by the Yan people. This side was remade by Sang Hu himself when he hunted the snow wolf.
When the banner of the Savage King appears again,
The tribal troops staring around here immediately became quite panicked.
The Savage King was once the pride of the snowfield. Like a proud lone wolf, he almost led the savages in the snowfield to create a miracle. Although it failed in the end, it was already the most shocking time for the savages in hundreds of years. The latest time in my hometown.
But soon,
Under the comfort of the leaders, the emotions of the warriors from each tribe immediately calmed down.
The prestige of the Savage King is indeed still hovering above the snowfield, but his people are no longer there after all.
What's there to fear about a person who doesn't exist?
Sang Hu silently drew out his knife,
In his eyes,
The soldiers and horses of many tribes around him are not fellow tribesmen, but real enemies.
In fact,
The current situation on the snowfield is equivalent to a reshuffle after the era of the Savage King.
The tribes that believed in and were willing to follow the Savage King at the beginning all sent their elites to follow the Savage King into the pass, while those big tribes that thought highly of themselves continued to sit back and watch;
After the news of the defeat of the Savage King came, these big clans immediately began to annex the tribes of the Savage King's followers.
The Naiman tribe is one of the best examples.
The tribe that originally contributed warriors and even leaders to follow the Savage King lost its youth and strength, and was severely weakened. Faced with the annexation of other tribes, it no longer had the ability to resist.
The noble line was slaughtered, and the tribe's population was reduced to low-level slaves who annexed the tribe.
Sang Hu remembered that the Savage King once told them all that the real reason for the decline of the Holy Clan lay with himself.
Because of the bad nature of the saints themselves, although they all accept the guidance of the stars, the starry sky above each tribe is actually completely different.
The Savage King taught them that they should know how to allow those short-sighted comrades to exist, and wait until their great cause is successful before leading them and pulling them to their side.
But what about them?
they,
How is it done?
When Grimm led his army to attack Snow Customs to open up a retreat for the army to return to the snowfield, the tribes behind Snow Customs chose to stand still.
If they had also sent troops to attack at that time, Xuehaiguan, which was attacked from both sides, might not be able to hold on.
They chose to sit back and watch the demise of their own people, while at the same time, they ate up those people's tribes.
Sang Hu's anger towards these savage tribes has exceeded his anger towards the Yan people.
In fact, there is really nothing to hate against the Yan people. After all, the Yan people are indeed powerful and they defeated them directly. The defeat was considered heartfelt.
But this kind of sibling who eats inside and outside often inspires the deepest disgust and hatred in people's hearts;
Outside, what the enemy stabs into your chest is a sharp steel knife. When you pull it out, it will bring your own hot blood. The pain is only temporary. If you die, you will die. At least there is still a part in your heart. Belonging to the favor of the stars;
But when you are stabbed by your own people, they use weapons stained with livestock dung. Even after you die, the filthy things will continue to stain your body.
The Savage King once said to Uncle Zheng,
He said that this generation of savages has ended, and even the next generation, and the next generation after that, will also end.
Because he gathered a group of people with vision, courage and courage among the three generations of savages. After making a desperate move, he failed, and the failure was too complete.
People can be reborn after death, but if their souls are gone, no matter how many lives they are given, they are just like pigs.
Uncle Zheng can understand the Savage King's lament. The rise of a nation requires various opportunities. It just happens that in an era, the elites join forces to break out, so that this nation can open up a new world.
If this group of elites loses themselves, then this nation will go astray and collapse. And if the true elite of this nation is completely wiped out, then it will really be completely hopeless.
Sang Hu's sword showed a cold light in the sun. He knew that it was difficult for the patchwork tribe behind him to muster any fighting power. And if he continued to develop on the edge of the Far North, maybe ten years later, 20 Years later, he will be able to create a tribe of his own, branded with the emblem of his choice;
But he still chose to follow the guidance of the letter. In the letter, the Savage King told him straightforwardly that he was tired and he wanted to live for himself.
Sang Hu felt that this was right. Rather than having a tribe of his own, he hoped to see the Savage King again in his lifetime.
Just like when the Savage King naughtily pushed him, the executioner with his hands stained with the blood of the Star Sacrifice, to the position of the Great Elder of the Star Sacrifice.
Sang Hu asked him why he did this.
Said the Savage King, He was glad;
Sang Hu is quite happy now.
In his eyes, he had already locked onto the flag of a tribe in front of him. The flag was a black wolf. There were three thousand warriors in that tribe, and the leader was wearing extremely fancy armor.
Sang Hu felt that the thousand warriors under his command should be able to help him and create a chance for him to kill the leader of the Black Wolf clan opposite him.
He is not afraid of death. He can numbly choose the way of death and the glory before death.
On the periphery, as the horns sounded more and more intensively, the troops and horses of various tribes began to prepare and prepare for a charge.
And this migrating team began to divide more clearly into groups, waiting to be defeated one by one.
however,
at this time,
The warriors on the periphery who were preparing to charge suddenly broke into a huge commotion, and even the nobles and leaders in their formation could not calm down this commotion in a short time.
The battlefield that was originally ready to go suddenly came to a standstill.
because,
In the south, a cavalry team in black armor appeared, flying the black dragon flag and the "Zheng" flag.
There were only a few of them, just over 300 riders, but when they appeared, they instantly became the focus of the audience.
At the beginning, the Naiman tribe shot and killed a group of Jin fugitives relatively close to the Xueguan Pass, which angered the uncle of the Xueguan Pass and led to the genocide.
Now, not to mention the entire snowfield, at least the entire eastern snowfield area knows that no matter what, they must pay enough respect to the person in the snow customs.
Jin Shuke silently took off the bearskin gloves in his hands.
Summer in the snowfield is not too hot, but it is not so hot that you need to wear gloves.
Jin Shuke took off his gloves and his hands were already wet.
But he likes it,
Because this was a gift given to him by his uncle alone.
and,
He was obsessed with the feeling of folding two gloves together and flicking them on the back of his hand to make a "snap" sound after taking off the gloves;
This is also a move I learned from Uncle Zheng.
Jin Shu didn't know the word "handsome", but he instinctively felt that this action was very beautiful.
"Give me an order to those savage tribes. If anyone dares to act rashly, I will destroy that tribe first."
"Yes, General."
"Yes, General."
A group of messengers left the team.
At this time, a deputy general next to Jin Shuke asked:
"General, do you need to send orders to the rear to mobilize troops now?"
Jin Shuke shook his head and said:
"Don't worry, people are coming from the north, and guests are coming from the south. I guess it's not our turn to take action."
"What a pity." The deputy general was a little disappointed.
"My uncle has to give him some respect for the person who once served as our uncle. Besides, you should thank that person for coming, otherwise our uncle probably wouldn't have planned to fight this battle.
There are so many savage tribes, haha, I have suggested to my uncle a long time ago to carve out a pasture for ourselves north of our Snow Pass.
The savages know how to herd animals, but we barbarians can’t?
Although the weather here is bitterly cold, after the winter has passed, the pasture is really fertile. "
Speaking of which,
Jin Shu seems to have remembered something,
Then he ordered again:
"Tell me to go down and prepare dry food for the expedition."
"Yes, General."
"Hey, wait a minute."
Jin Shuke hesitated for a moment and then said:
"Forget it, no need to prepare in advance, just wait for uncle's formal order."
……
Uncle Zheng indeed received news from the north.
Although Xuehaiguan had no plans to open up the snowfield for the time being due to limited troops and other reasons, thanks to the efforts of a group of magic sticks represented by Kong Yuan and Liao Fan, some small tribes near Xuehaiguan have defected secretly. Come over.
When the migration team appeared, they immediately rushed to report to Snow Customs.
Uncle Zheng's first reaction was that the Savage King's back-up force had arrived, and he immediately sent the blind man to take charge of the matter, but he himself could not get away.
because,
Li Fusheng is here.
Li Fusheng was not wearing armor and was wearing casual clothes. He looked like an old farmer. When he came, he was riding his beast and had only seven or eight personal guards around him.
"Ah ha ha ha, here comes the wine, here comes the wine, little Zhengzi, brother, I have been craving for your wine for a long time! Also, it's delicious and delicious. Come on, come on, come on. I'm hungry all day long before I go on the road. Came to you."
Uncle Zheng's life is not luxurious, but it is definitely the most exquisite.
Before Zheng Fan came over, Xiao Yibo had already ordered the kitchen to prepare the dishes.
By the time Zheng Fan walked into the hall, Li Fusheng had already poured himself a large amount of wine.
"Come on, come on, sit around, let me have a drink with my brother, haha. I'm here to enjoy the autumn breeze. Do you think it's strange or not? There are obviously not many people around your Snow Customs, so it's the most miserable. It's not an exaggeration to say that this place is poor, but if you take a closer look, you can see that this little life is actually prosperous.
In my opinion, it would be unreasonable to let you go to Xue Customs. It would be more appropriate to let you go to Yingdu. The money and food from Yingdu for the second half of the year have just arrived, and they are actually less than the first half of the year. If I hadn't known that there was going to be a war. Yes, there will be other batches of money and food arriving soon. I have to send someone to Yingdu to talk to those officials in Yingdu. "
"These civil servants are just unreliable in their work."
Uncle Zheng helped and scolded him.
He didn't blush at all, because all the reductions in Li Fusheng's command were actually made up for on his shoulders.
After the money and food were shipped in the second half of the year, it was twice as much as the normal quota. This is based on the normal quota. If we compare it with the fact that other garrison generals can only get more than [-]%, Uncle Zheng's It can be said that the number of times is three times that of a normal person.
It is even more comfortable to have someone in the court who is easy to be an official, and there is support from the local government.
Li Fusheng picked up the wine bowl and said, "I came here on the military order of King Jingnan."
Uncle Zheng didn't get up to take the order. They were all members of his own family, and on this occasion, it seemed too formal.
"It seems that a war is about to begin. Your Majesty ordered me to lead my own army of [-] troops and two additional troops of [-] troops to advance to the camp. A total of [-] troops and horses come to your place to fight the autumn wind. The troops and horses are behind. They will probably arrive tomorrow morning. I will come over first. Stuttering about eating and drinking, haha.”
When you hit the autumn wind, you definitely don’t eat the snow customs, you definitely eat the snowfields.
In fact, before going to Yanjing, Tian Wujing told Zheng Fan that he would send troops and horses to help Zheng Fan tidy up the snowy plains. But didn't this coincide with the time when Emperor Yan was about to start a war with Chu? Uncle Zheng originally thought that he should No chance, who would have thought that Tian Wujing really hadn't forgotten the herd of animals of the savages in the snowfield.
Zheng Fan smiled and said:
"It's a coincidence, isn't it? Just before, I just received a military report. Tens of miles north of our Snow Customs, there were tens of thousands of savage soldiers gathered."
"puff!"
Li Fusheng spit out the wine he just drank. He had this instinct and would not drink during a war.
Simultaneously,
Li Fusheng's eyes immediately started to turn red. It was obvious that he had relapsed into his old habit. He impatiently called to his bodyguard:
"Quickly, send the order quickly and ask them to speed up their march. The vanguard army must arrive for me before midnight! If I miss this opportunity, I will skin those brats!"
finished ordering,
Li Fusheng grabbed Zheng Fan's arms again,
Excitedly said:
"Brother, give it to me, you must give it to me, brother me! Brother, I really can't hold it in anymore! Brother, I really can't hold it in!!!"
"boom!"
Outside the hall,
Liu Ruqing, who came in with a plate of pastries, accidentally broke the plate.
When a close guest comes to the house, it is etiquette for the female family members to show up.
The fourth lady was working in the signing room and could not get out of the house for the time being. The princess had a title in the Yan Kingdom, so Li Fusheng had to salute her when meeting guests, which was inconvenient.
Therefore, Liu Ruqing, half of the concubine, could only come to see the guests.
Seeing that Liu Ruqing was about to squat down and pick up the broken plates,
Zheng Fan immediately came over and pulled her up,
"Just ask the servants to take care of it. Don't cut your hands."
Liu Ruqing looked up at Uncle Zheng and said timidly;
"Yes, the servant knows."
Ok,
Why is her gaze so weird?
Your face is still a little pale?
in fact,
What Liu Ruqing was thinking was:
No wonder he has never wanted me, and only likes me to call him uncle. It turns out that he is...
