The Yan people here are celebrating the Wanfu Festival, and in the king's tent of the savage army at the other end, a thin-faced man is sitting on a leather couch made of snow wolf skin, gently stroking it with the fingers of his left hand The scar on his face showed a thoughtful look in his eyes.
He is the king of the savages. It is difficult to tell how old he is from his appearance, because what he was like more than ten years ago is what he is still like more than ten years later.
Even Angda, who went out to travel around the world with him, can already see the frost on his temples as he ages, and for him, the years seem to have stopped on him.
The Yan people are here, so Que Mu and Angda should have died in the battle.
Wang stretched out his hand, picked up the tea cup in front of him, and took a sip of herbal tea.
Tea is bad tea, and the military chiefs of Beifeng County like it. The tea is astringent and even scratches the throat, just like the windy sand in the North.
The king learned to drink tea at that time, and he has retained the habit to this day. Even though many of his generals and leaders have drank precious tea, he still maintains his The habit of drinking this bad tea.
It’s not to remember the bitterness and sweetness, but many times, after a habit is formed, you are too lazy to change it.
The curtain of the royal tent was opened, and an old man with a string of skulls hanging around his neck walked in. He bent down respectfully, put his hands in front of him, and said sincerely:
"King."
The king nodded and pointed under him,
"Sit."
The old man sat down.
The savages call themselves saints and believe in the stars. They believe that the bright depths of the stars are the world of the gods, and every devout savage will be led there after death.
The messengers of stars in the human world are called guides.
Each tribe has a guide, which is very similar to the barbarian sacrifices. At the same time, the guide of each tribe usually has a part-time job as a doctor, teacher, or psychologist in addition to their daily work. Counselors, prophets, climatologists and other professions.
This is like when a historical celebrity is introduced in primary school textbooks, a long list is always added at the end: politicians, thinkers, and other scientists.
However, although Sang Hu wears the clothes of a leader, he is not a leader. On the contrary, he was once bullied by the leader of the tribe because his family was angry. He killed all the leaders in his tribe, and then lived in exile in the snowfield for more than 20 years, becoming a rogue bandit. It was easy for other savages to say that as long as they obediently gave up some of their cattle and sheep, they would be forgiven and released, but As long as he encounters someone who leads him, he will definitely kill him.
For this reason, he has also become the public enemy of many tribes in the snowfield, because he is openly provoking the ruling order of the entire snowfield.
Will the real leader family of a large tribe believe in the legend of the leader?
They know that it doesn’t matter whether they believe it or not, as long as the people below believe it.alright.
After the king's rise, his glory shone on the snowy plains. Sang Hu led more than a thousand old brothers who had been with him from birth to death for more than ten years to join the king.
Sang Hu said that he was guilty.
The king said, you are guilty.
Then, the king asked him to put on the clothes of the leader, making him the representative of the leader under the king.
After that, the king asked him, do you still hate it?
Sang Hu said, I don’t hate it anymore, it’s just a joke.
You have spent half your life killing those who lead you, and you are doing such a wanton thing, and at the end of the day, you are almost becoming the leader of those who lead you in the entire snowfield. Isn’t this a joke?
After Sang Hu sat down, Wang opened his mouth and said:
"Do the people from Jin over at Xueguan Customs have any reaction?"
Sang Hu replied:
"No reaction."
Wang's hand continued to touch the scar on his face and said:
"I was still making trouble before. , but now there is no response."
"Does the king think that the Jin people have learned about the Yan people's entry into the snowfield?"
"Do you think those below us? Are the tribes all on the same page as us? There will always be people who tell the truth."
"It doesn't matter, it's not a big deal, Jin people. After operating in the snowy plains for hundreds of years, if we can't even report the news, it's not that the Jin people are incompetent, it's that we are too stupid, and we have been suppressed by such incompetent Jin people for hundreds of years.
Besides, even if they didn't tell the truth, how could the Yan people not inform the Jin people if they sent troops?"
"So, the Jin people already know that the Yan people are coming."
"Yes."
"My subordinates really can't figure out why the Yan people would go all the way into the snowy fields. Didn't the Jin and Yan people just have a war?"
The king smiled,
said:
"The tribes in the snowy plains usually attack and annex each other, but every time the Jin people invade in large numbers, they will soon attack each other. Form an alliance to resist the Jin people."
"My subordinates understand half of it."
"What about the other half?"
"That's why we are savages. The people of Yan and Jin did not unite until they were wiped out."
"Hmm."
"Wang?"
"So, we. Although we call ourselves saints, people outside call us savages because we are not civilized yet, and we are indeed uncivilized."
Sang Hu lowered his head and remained silent.
This is racial discrimination. No one will feel comfortable facing racial discrimination directed at them;
And this time, it actually came from their king.
“Wild beasts, when they are hungry, hunt for food; when they are thirsty, they go to drink water; when the season comes, they go to reproduce, chase pasture and water sources, and after eating and drinking, they bask in the sun.
p>Our holy race is really not much different from the beasts. When disaster strikes, we only think of joining a short-term alliance.
The Yan people are not faced with disasters, but they know how to take the initiative to make arrangements. "
"Subordinate, I understand. "
"Don't be in a hurry, you have to eat your food one bite at a time, and walk your way step by step. Our clan has been trapped in the snowfield for too long, and for so long, the clan's vision has become too narrow. "
"The Yan people..."
"The Yan people are difficult to deal with. This time, it is the Jingnan Army of the Yan people, and it is the Yan people. Nanhou personally took charge of the army.
The Yan people have two major cavalry forces, one is the Zhenbei Army, and the other is the Jingnan Army.
The two great marquises of the Yan people were the Marquis of Zhenbei and the Marquis of Jingnan.
But to be honest, the reason why the Marquis of Zhenbei is strong is because the Zhenbei Army is strong; while the reason why the Jingnan Army is strong is because the Marquis of Jingnan is strong.
Beifeng County is adjacent to the desert. The young men of the Yan people there can fight directly with the barbarians by putting on their armor and mounting their horses early. A knife has been sharpened for a hundred years and is extremely sharp;
The Jingnan Army has never experienced a major war. More than ten years after it was taken over by the Marquis of Jingnan, it entered the Jin Dynasty and was not inferior to the Zhenbei Army. Alas.
So, I have always believed that on the surface, the Marquis of Zhenbei is second to none in Yan State, but in fact, the Marquis of Jingnan is the real military god of the Yan State. "
"Why did the Yan people help the Jin people this time? "
"The Yan people want to be another co-owner after Daxia. At the earliest, I sent a message to the old man of the Situ family, willing to join hands with him to resist the Yan people.
That old guy agreed.
Unexpectedly, Situ Lei actually called the Jin sword master directly, took him into the palace, killed his father, and took his position.
As soon as he ascended the throne, he left the Yan people alone and went to Xueyuan personally.
Whether this Situ Lei knew that he could not defeat the Yan people, so he broke the pot, or whether he wanted to deliberately show the Yan people a posture of brothers fighting against foreign humiliation, I don’t know, maybe except No one knows Situ Lei himself.
But Situ Lei’s attitude is already obvious. He does not want to go to war with the Yan people. He is even willing to be half a head lower than the Emperor of Yan in Yanjing. To put it nicely, he can guard the Northeast for the survivors of Daxia. Snowfield. "
"Then why is he still on the throne? ”
“It’s convenient for bargaining in the future. This is how we do business. I used to do this when I went out with the caravan. "
"So, the Jin people from Xue Customs will go out to support the Yan people? "
"It will definitely come out. He Jin people are not qualified to watch the fire from the other side. Listening to the reports from the tribes who fled all the way back from the west, the Yan people committed all kinds of crimes in the snowy fields in our west, and many big The tribe was defeated by the Yan people.
The Jin people understood that if the Yan people’s Nanhou was lost in the snowy fields, they would have to face the enemy from the Yan Emperor on the one hand.The anger, on the other hand, is that after the king of the Yan people has eliminated the disobedient tribes in the western snow plains, the king's power will completely control that area, and the pressure faced by the Jin people will be even greater.
The most important thing is that less than a year after the founding of the so-called Dacheng Kingdom, the emperor personally conquered the country and suffered defeats one after another. In fact, even if the Yan people did not come, the Jin people would not wait to continue to fight. In their eyes, face is more important than the lives of cattle, sheep and warriors. ”
“My king, we are on the front line of Xueguan Pass. My subordinates will lead your most loyal warriors to help you block it. Your Majesty, you can use your hands to deal with this Nanhou of the Yan people.” "
"How many troops have we gathered here now? "
"There are already nearly 40,000, and there will be another 20,000 gathered tomorrow. They are all the most skilled warriors under the king's command. "
"Okay, we will start withdrawing in batches tomorrow night. Just leave 10,000 warriors here for me. You and them all go to Xue Customs and eat them all when the Jin people come out. Lose. "
"King, there are only ten thousand warriors left here. How can you defeat the Yan people? This..."
The king yawned,
Tao:
"My king's tent is here, and ten thousand warriors are here. For the Nanhou of Yan, it can be regarded as a highlight. Use this to entertain people from afar. The Yan people are decent enough.
The Marquis of Nan from Yan wants to kill someone, so I will send him to kill him. As long as we kill the Jin army that dares to attack this time, Xuehuan Customs can also take advantage of the situation to break through.
No matter how good the Yan people are in fighting, they will never be able to destroy our Saint Clan. Only by breaking the Snow Pass can the sky of our Saint Clan become wider again. "
"Wang, this is too much for you..."
"Don't worry, I'm not those idiots Que Mu and Onda. At the critical moment, I will let you These ten thousand warriors cut off my rear for me. "
"But..."
"Go down. ”
“I know, King, please take care. I will break through the Snow Customs and wait for the King’s return!” ”
Sang Hu left.
In the king’s tent,
only the king was left again.
The king stretched out his hand and took out his He took out a delicate small box from under the leather couch and opened it.
The box contained a little girl's embroidered shoe.
Wang held the shoe carefully. Put it in the palm of your hand,
bring it to your nose,
take a deep breath,
a look of intoxication immediately appeared on your face.
"It smells so good..."
Then,
Wang subconsciously reached out and touched the scar on his face from more than ten years ago,
< p>Muttered to himself:"I heard that you are getting married soon. ”
There was no loneliness on Wang’s face.
On the contrary, he said “hehehehe”He laughed out loud,
and said to himself
"Wait for me, I will come and snatch it from you."
