Chapter 81: The Hutu Tribe in Trouble
Time is fleeting, and in the blink of an eye, it is already March, the sun finally has some energy, showing a little enthusiasm, under the sunlight, the snow that has covered a whole winter turns into a murmur of water. , began to moisten all things on the earth, although the residual snow has not yet melted, some tender green shoots have emerged from below, swaying in the wind with a weak figure, showing everyone the abundance of spring.
La Tobe led his warhorse and wandered around the camp. In an hour or two, he had already completed almost all the large tents, and had seen his only remaining people. Just half a year ago, even a day It is impossible for him to complete his old camp. The majority of the more than 100,000 people, who can gather 2,000 elite iron cavalrymen between the three horns, have now become bereaved dogs, and only the only ones left are With less than 2,000 tents, even with all their strength, they could only form a cavalry of more than 400 people.
An infighting between the Donghu tribes for grassland and territory, the Hutu tribe was defeated, most of the people have become slaves of others, and most of the warriors shed their blood on the fertile land they lost. Above. They could only escape all the way to the eyes of the Dayan people. If King Donghu hadn't spoken out at the end, they were afraid that their opponents would kill them. Tuobei did not dare to be careless, his opponent would not let him go so easily. King Donghu's words worked on the bright side, but in the dark, no one could guarantee that his opponent would be in a dark wind in a month. Gao killed him in the night, killed himself and his own people, and then refused to admit his account. Could it be that King Donghu would offend another powerful majority for a tribe that no longer existed? Just a few words of scolding.
At the end of the day, I still have to talk about strength. If I want the Hutu clan to survive, I can only increase my strength as soon as possible, and lick the bloody wounds as soon as possible.
Although the looting of Dayan last winter took a certain risk, the harvest was huge, not only a large amount of grain, countless gold, silver and silk, but more importantly, a large population. The looting was launched, and the targets of looting were only strong men, women and children, but last time, as long as it was a human being, the Hutu people would not refuse, and the Hutu people now need a large number of slaves in order to accumulate wealth faster And the population. If the enemy attacks, these slaves can resist some troops for the tribe.
Strong male slaves can use crude weapons to resist when the enemy attacks, female slaves can bring more population to the tribe, and those children, in the near future, can become adult slaves.
In La Tobe's heart, the enemy is the enemy from within Donghu. As for the Dayan people, he is not within his scope of consideration. Just relying on those people, even if his vitality is severely damaged, they cannot be his opponents, unless It was Zhang Shouyue of Liaoxi County who committed the crime in person, but if that happened, the King of Donghu would never sit idly by. It would be a battle between the people of Donghu and the people of Dayan.
The situation is getting better day by day. Just after a circle in the camp, the cattle, sheep and horses gave birth to a lot of cubs. After the pain of the last war, the tribe finally recovered some vitality, and some prosperous people again. Breath, seeing that the spring grass has drilled out of the ground, it will not take long for this place to become a lush pasture, and the Hutu tribe will spread its wings again and soar in the sky.
It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. La Tobe took a long breath, and reached out his hand to tuck the wind-ruffled white hair behind his head. At the time, it was still blue silk, but now, it was like snow in winter.
There was a sudden sound of hooves in his ears, La Tobe raised his head, and a cyan war horse came flying from outside the camp door and ran in front of him. The ground turned over and dismounted, "Patriarch!" The young knight ran over excitedly.
"What's the matter? You are in a hurry, Nafo, you are now a centurion!" La Tobe frowned and said dissatisfiedly. Nafo was a centurion who was recently mentioned after the war. The experienced veterans have almost lost their lives to cover the horde's retreat.
"Patriarch, I was patrolling outside today and found a large convoy with more than 100 people. I followed and observed for a while. These guards are not elite. If you do it, you can eat it in one bite." Very excited, he also knows that now is the time when the tribe is eager to expand its strength.
La Tobe raised his eyebrows. He just had a big fight last winter. How dare that caravan dare to set foot on this land again at this time?
"Did you see what their convoy was delivering?" asked La Tobe, tapping his palm lightly with a horsewhip. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, either a fearless one or a trap. No one would be Fools come to die.
"Patriarch, I've checked everything out." Nafu said: "Half salt and tea, and half iron, rough iron, and patriarch, these are all things we urgently need, and with so many people escorting them, it's perfectly fine. Easy to take, with these irons, we can make more scimitars, more arrows, and then go grab more things, patriarch, I have inquired about this period of time, in our vicinity, and There are quite a few small tribes of Xiongnu, as long as we have enough weapons, we can swallow them and strengthen our tribe."
La Tobe's expression turned cold, and the horsewhip tapped Nafu on the shoulder, "Nafu, you can think so much for the tribe, it's very good, do it well, you will have a great future, this matter , so be it." Turning around and leading the horse, he was about to leave.
"Patriarch, Patriarch!" Seeing that La Tobe meant to give up, Nafo couldn't help but be in a hurry, "I only need a hundred cavalry, and I can take down this convoy without losing a single person."
La Tobe turned around with a smile, "Nafu, there are many things you don't know, the people who can transport so much iron, salt, and tea out of the borders of Dayan, can they be simple people? No, if we rob it, the Hutu team will really be on the verge of a dead end, so let’s just pretend we didn’t see it!”
"Why?" Nafo asked curiously.
"Because this batch of goods was sold to King Donghu." La Tobe decided to call the young man, "Nafu, we can escape this time and save this bloodline, not because of the good luck of our Hutu clan. It's because King Donghu wants to leave an enemy like us as a restraint for our opponents. However, if we take something that shouldn't be taken, in a blink of an eye, the Hutu tribe will disappear on this land. Yes, no one will stay, do you understand?"
Nafu nodded, "Patriarch, I understand this, these people are dealing with our king, and they are people with great backgrounds, we can't afford to offend them."
"Yes, we can't afford it!" La Tobe sighed, got on his horse, and ran towards his tent. In the battle last year, he even lost his own tent.
A plucked phoenix is not as good as a chicken, and a tiger going down the mountain is bullied by a dog. In the past, I was able to speak in front of King Donghu, but now, I am afraid that I am not even qualified to enter the camp of King Donghu.
Sighing all the way back to his tent, La Tobe never imagined that in the evening of this day, the convoy he did not dare to move, actually sent someone to find his tent, staring at the rich man in front of him. The rich middle-aged man, La Tobe frowned, for a while, he really couldn't think of why this man named Huo Zhu gave him so many gifts for no reason.
"Mr. Huo, we have never had friendship, and we have to ask for something. We Donghu people don't like to go around in circles and get straight to the point. What do you want to do? If you can do it, I will accept these gifts. If you can't do it, I'm sorry then." La Tobe said slowly.
Huo Zhu looked at the old Hu people in front of him who fell into Pingyang, and he was a little surprised. He had already figured out the details of Hu Tu's clan from Linghu Dan, Liaoxi County. It can be said that all the things they urgently need, the good things delivered to the door, this person can still bear his temper, but it should not be underestimated.
After taking a sip of the milk tea, which I am not used to, Huo Zhu smiled," Patriarch Latobe said it well, when you are polite, you must ask for something. Can you believe it?"
"Of course, you are the guests of our King Donghu. When you come to me, you are naturally also guests."
"Well said!" Huo Zhu smiled and said, "I'm here to invite Patriarch La Tobe to kill a few people and destroy a city!"
La Tobe's eyelids twitched, "Kill how many people and destroy a city?"
"That's right, what I brought today is just a part of the deposit. If you are in business, the money you get from breaking the city will go to you, the patriarch, and those heads will bring you several times as much as the gift in front of you." Huo Zhu said leisurely. .
"Destroy that city? Want the heads of those people?" Latubbe's heart pounded.
"Destroy Fufeng City and get the heads of Cao Gaoyuan, the guard of Curie Pass, Wu Kai, magistrate of Fufeng County, and Yu Luhong of Fufeng County." Huo Zhu said relaxedly.
"You want me to break the Curie Pass?" Latourbe said in surprise: "And Fufeng City?" He shook his head repeatedly, "Mr. Huo, since you are a guest of King Donghu, I must be clear about my current situation. Yes, let alone Fufeng City, even Curie Pass, I can't beat it. The Gao Yuan you mentioned is now guarding at Curie Pass. I still have a lot of information about Curie Pass. Gao Yuan is not an ordinary person, Curie Pass has changed a lot now, with the few troops I have in my hands, even if I conquer Curie Pass, it will definitely suffer heavy losses, and the gains will outweigh the losses.”
"Why should the patriarch go to storm the Curie Pass? He only needs to take Fufeng City, and with his lofty temperament, he will inevitably lead the army to return to the rescue. When they leave the pass, is it possible that you are still afraid of them?"
"I can't beat Curie Pass, how can I beat the stronger Fufeng City?" La Tobe shook his head repeatedly.
"Because of me, you will naturally take down Fuwang City without any effort!" Huo Zhu smiled.
"who are you?"
"My name is Huo Zhu, and I am the current postmaster of Fufeng City!"
La Tobe was shocked, "Since you are the postmaster of Fufeng City, why do you encourage me to take Fufeng City?"
"There's nothing to hide, because the few people I mentioned have offended a great noble in our Dayan, and this person will kill them. As for the other details, the patriarch doesn't need to know?" Huo Zhu Looking at La Tobe, he raised the milk tea in his hand: "Patriarch, this is a lucrative business. After passing this village, there is no such shop. When I get to King Donghu, I must be able to invite other tribes. Then there is nothing to do with the patriarch!"
