A few days later, the couple was playing with their children and enjoying family happiness.
It's just that from time to time, I feel hopeless and slightly lost.
Ren Ning understood his wife's thoughts and looked up to the west.
"Madam, how about I send someone to the Xiliang grassland to report the good news to my elder brother?"
grassland?
Yingpan's heart skipped a beat, but after a while he slowly shook his head.
"Forget it. It's too dangerous to go at this time, thousands of miles away."
It's late autumn now, and it will snow soon in the north.
If you go all the way north like you did when you were doing business in Mongolia, go all the way west along the border between Yunchui and Beixiong, then bypass the Luoxia Mountains from the north and finally enter the Xiliang Prairie.
The journey is not only long, but also very dangerous along the way.
"How about next spring and summer, when the snow melts, we can report the news." She suggested.
As long as mother and son are safe and healthy, it doesn't really matter whether they tell Tiele sooner or later.
Ren Ning laughed and teased his son in the bag, "It's not that dangerous."
In early September, the Xiliang army was defeated and had completely withdrawn from Dingxi County and returned to the Benlu tribe.
Many remaining small and medium-sized tribes were disheartened, and despite the strong opposition of the Angel tribe, they embarked on the road back to their hometowns.
However, the fortress lacked men and horses and was unable to launch an attack and expand the results.
Therefore, the border between the two countries is relatively stable now.
Not long ago, there were even rumors from several caravans hoping to restore the east-west trade routes as soon as possible.
Yingpan was surprised and couldn't help but click her tongue.
"These caravans have really big hearts."
There are indeed regulations between countries that do not allow attacks on passing caravans, and generally speaking, most forces will abide by them.
But the trade road is long and there are always exceptions.
For example, when the Xiliang Royal Court decided to attack Yunchui, Su Lan's Ling family caravan was almost trapped deep in the grassland and could not return.
Now that the war between the two countries has just ended, the caravans have immediately thought of going west. I have to say that their courage is commendable.
Ren Ning laughed, "Businessmen, aren't they all like this?"
As long as they can make a lot of money, the merchant leaders of each caravan will ignore those dangerous factors.
Yingpan nodded with understanding, "So, husband, are you going to take the traditional route to Xiliang like these caravans?"
That is, pass through the mist, Laigu, cross Luoxia Mountain and enter Dingxi, and finally enter the grassland near the fortress.
Ren Ning pondered for a long time before nodding.
"I have thought about it carefully and there should be no problem in taking the traditional route."
Um.
I hope I won't ask any more questions.
She also raised her head and looked at the western sky in the distance.
"I don't know what's going on with eldest brother now. I don't know if Brother Youmeng has returned to the tribe."
Ha ha.
Ren Ning laughed, "What time is it now? It's early October."
"According to my estimation, Youmeng should have returned to Xinkailun with his caravan by the end of August at the latest. Maybe the caravan has rested now and is ready to leave for Xiliang Royal City again."
Yingpan's eyes showed longing, "I hope so."
————
Xiliang Prairie, central and northern part, Xinkailun tribe.
Grassland outside the stone forest.
Phew, kill!
Phew, kill!
A team of two thousand people is training hard to assassinate.
Gu Datou and others next to him were stroking their chins and looking at the team, reminding them to correct them a word or two from time to time.
Sudden.
Tap tap tap.
A fast horse galloped from the south.
The soldier on the horse jumped off his horse with joy.
"Two thousand elders, good news! Such good news."
Gu Datou and Lu Youtian both cheered up and handed over a bag of water.
"Xiao Li is back? Take a drink of water first and tell the rest later."
"What exactly is the good news?"
hey-hey.
Xiao Li was riding fast all the way. His mouth was dry, but he had no intention of drinking water.
Opening the water bag and putting it to the horse's mouth, Xiao Li fed his mount with a smile on his face.
"I just received news that a war broke out in Dingxi County at the end of August, and Xiliang was defeated. The entire Blood Moon tribe was wiped out, and other tribes also suffered heavy casualties. Now all Xiliang people have retreated to the grassland."
Buzz~
The nearby Yun Chui soldiers couldn't help but become energetic.
"real or fake?"
"It must be true."
This kind of news is so explosive and shocking that the spies will never dare to report it without asking for details and truth.
"That's great." Everyone gathered around to urge, "Xiao Li, please tell me the details."
Xiao Li nodded.
However, he also learned the news from the people passing by Xiliang. The specific battle situation was not clear, so he had to tell the truth everything he heard.
But this content alone was enough to make the Yunchui soldiers, including Gu Datou and Lu Youtian, happy.
Hua Hua Hua.
Everyone clapped their hands and cheered.
"Qianchang, we won the battle, is it time to return to the fortress now?"
It's already October now. If we walk slowly, it will be almost the Chinese New Year when we return to the fortress.
It will be a good time to spend a good year in the fortress.
"What the hell?" someone shook his head in objection.
"Now that the Xiliang army has been defeated, even the Xue Yue army has been wiped out. It is estimated that many small and medium-sized tribes will run back to their hometowns in disgrace."
"They are in a hurry to get home, and they are completely undefended. Why don't we stop them halfway and give these gangsters a hard time?"
Gu Datou and Lu Youtian looked at each other and felt a little moved by each other.
The border war between the two countries has ceased. If you want to go back, you can naturally go back.
Only this time when they came out, they wiped out several small tribes and burned some pastures in the Blood Moon settlement.
Going back with such a little record is really a bit shabby.
Tap tap tap.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves sounded again.
Tiele, Youmeng and Ximo hurried over.
"What happened?"
Just as Ren Ning said, Youmeng returned to Kailun with his caravan at the end of August, and also brought back a variety of materials.
Now that the caravan has been renovated, they are organizing and preparing to set off west to the Prairie Royal Court.
I just heard the commotion outside and came out to see what was going on.
Ha ha.
"Mr. Tiele, good news."
Gu Datou did not hide anything from others and repeated the news he had just received.
What?
Tiele and others' eyes widened.
The Battle of Dingxi ended, Blood Moon's entire army was wiped out, and Angel fled in panic?
They knew very well how powerful the two large tribes were, and this would inevitably make them a little confused.
"Let's go! Go back to the stone forest to discuss it carefully. The others will continue training."
No one had any objections, and the group returned to the stone forest.
conference hall.
Gu Datou looked at this familiar place and stroked his bald head with a smile.
"Huting Tuochi, the second prince of the prairie, is he okay now?"
Tie Le nodded, "He is still alive and can eat and walk now."
A few people chatted a few words about Hu Ting Tuo Chi and quickly got to the point.
"Datou and Arita," Tiele looked at the two of them, "What are you going to do? Do you need any help from us?"
"No need." Gu Datou and Gu Datou looked at each other, "The Xiliang army was defeated in early September. I believe that the defeated soldiers will have almost reached the territory of the Lao Luoxi tribe by now, and we will just go and greet them."
"Just be prepared to gather the deserters and break them."
"This," Tie Le hesitated for a moment and shook his head slowly.
"These broken soldiers all escaped from the battlefield. I'm afraid they have deep hostility and resentment towards Yun Chui. They should not be suitable for us to take in."
Hum hum.
Lu Youtian sneered, "What if they themselves were tricked and killed by Xueyue and Angel?"
