When Tuoba Cheng was sent to sharpen his sword and murderous blood moon tribe, another of the Prairie King's right-hand men was also sent to the Angel tribe.
Helianshen sat expressionlessly in the meeting hall, slowly drinking a cup of hot horse milk tea.
"Yougudu," his little guard clicked his tongue and looked around.
"Angel is indeed a large tribe. When I first came in, my subordinates took a few glances. The scale, popularity, and city wall around the settlement look no worse than our royal court."
Helianshen nodded silently, his face a little ugly.
When they were in the royal court, they had heard that the Angel tribe had built a tall and large city wall outside the settlement.
As the saying goes, it's better to meet each other than to be famous, so I didn't pay much attention to it at the time.
Now when he came over and saw it with his own eyes, he was shocked.
Helianshen, the city of Yunchui people, has seen it before.
On the surface it looks ordinary, but that wall that is not too high can make countless Xiliang tribes suffer defeat.
And Angel is in the hinterland of the grassland, not close to the east, west, north or south. Now they have also imitated the Yunchui people and built high city walls. Who do they want to guard against?
Is it the Blood Moon tribe in the east or the west...
After a long while, the patriarch An Wenkang hurried in with a few guards.
He was full of apologies.
"Brother Helian, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. The clan happened to be busy with some things, so I'm late. Please forgive me."
Ha ha.
Helianshen laughed and stood up, "It's okay, I just arrived."
He tentatively said: "With a tribe as big as Angel, Chief An must have a lot to worry about. How about you go and get busy first?"
An Wenkang's eyes flashed.
"Actually, it's nothing."
"Isn't the caravan from last year going back? Now everyone in the clan is counting what is missing or missing, and is preparing to submit a list when they pass by. I hope that the caravan can bring us some when it returns at the end of the year.
return."
"That's it." Helianshen suddenly realized.
Xiliang is barren, lacking all kinds of materials except cattle, sheep and horses.
In the past three years or so, no caravans have passed by, and there are already countless missing items from various tribes.
Now a caravan finally passes by, and the tribes along the way really need to be taken seriously.
After asking about the reason, the two sides sat down and exchanged business memories and compliments as was customary.
During this period, Angel's elders and elders came in from time to time and cooed in An Wenkang's ears, repeatedly interrupting the conversation between the two.
When Helianshen saw this, he couldn't help laughing.
"Clan Chief An does seem to be very busy. How about you prepare a room for us to stay in first, and then we can talk after the nobles finish their business with the caravan?"
"That's fine."
An Wenkang apologized, called someone to arrange Helianshen's residence, and left in a hurry.
In a temporary tent.
The little guard looked a little angry.
"Yougudu, what's going on with Angel? Does An Wenkang not pay attention to our royal court, or is he not worried about the actions of Blood Moon at all?"
As the saying goes, a sad army will win.
Nowadays, the entire Blood Moon clan is extremely angry, and most of all, they are united; while the food reserves at Benlu have been exhausted, and the soldiers are hungry and hungry, this is the moment when people's hearts are wandering.
Once the armies of both sides collide, Angel will probably not even have a chance to struggle, let alone the chance of victory.
Benlu has nearly 50,000 elite soldiers.
Even if Angel is a large tribe, it absolutely cannot afford the loss.
Helianshen remained silent, just drinking tea slowly, his mind spinning rapidly.
In the battle of Dingxi a few months ago, the two sides fought so hard that the world turned pale.
The results have spread across the prairie.
Almost the entire army of Xue Yue's side was wiped out, and even the young clan leader Xue Yue Yingxiang's whereabouts were unknown. However, Kang Ansheng returned to the grassland with his well-organized troops.
Afterwards, both sides quickly submitted the battle process to the royal court.
Xue Yue accused Angel of secretly colluding with the Yunchui people, and Kang Ansheng even escaped from the battlefield and directly killed a large number of his colleagues in the grassland.
Angel's face was filled with grievances.
It is said that Xiliang's army has been on the expedition for three years, and both its troops and food and grass are no longer sustainable.
Xueyue Yingxiang secretly planned to attack Peishi City and then retreat directly to the grassland. They were the first ones to decide to escape before the battle.
It was just bad luck that he was caught by Yun Chui people and couldn't escape.
As for the Yangguan Ancient Road, Angel's defenders fought bravely until the last moment, and were finally wiped out. They had no intention of letting go.
Xue Yue said they were colluding with the Yunchui Empire. They were just out of their mind and spouting nonsense after losing the battle.
Helianshen put down the milk tea cup in his hand.
He has read the statements of the two armies above one by one.
However, the reason why the Royal Court was able to control such a large grassland was because it had its own channels.
snort.
The little guard next to him snorted coldly.
"The royal court has been silent for a long time. The tribes below have become more and more courageous. I don't know when they learned to deceive the superiors and conceal the truth."
"Yes." Helianshen nodded silently.
For example, Xueyue accused Kang Ansheng of ignoring the life and death of his allies and escaping from the battlefield. However, Xueyue was the one who first prepared to falsely attack Peishi City and then retreated to the grassland under an excuse.
It can be said that they are really ready to escape.
In addition, what Angel said was true that all the guards on the Yangguan Ancient Road were killed in battle.
However, there are almost no traces of fierce fighting on the city wall at the pass. The large number of defenders seemed to be obediently sticking their heads out and letting people wipe their necks.
And Blood Moon Yingxiang has not disappeared either.
Although he was very embarrassed, he returned to the Blood Moon Tribe alive and well.
It's just that Xue Yue Zhiyong kept him hiding for some reason and didn't show his face in public.
Thinking of this, Helianshen glanced east and remembered his purpose of coming here.
It is true that Angel's grain truck has been robbed, but the strange thing is that the grain truck and the accompanying cattle and sheep did not suffer much loss, but the escort team died cleanly.
It didn't look like they were robbing a grain truck, but more like they were trying to kill the food guard team.
snort.
The little guard next to him snorted again.
"Yougudu, the facts are obvious."
"So many of Angel's food delivery teams were robbed. It might have been the hand of Blood Moon at the beginning. Later, I'm afraid it was Angel who directed and acted on his own. As for the food protection team, they were wiped out one by one, in order to put all the blame on Blood Moon.
superior."
"There's no reason." Helianshen pondered, "If that's true, then what does An Wenkang want to do? Does he want to starve to death his own people in Benlu?"
"You Gudu, what is there that you don't understand?"
The little guard whispered in his ear.
"The Angel tribe in front of us, the patriarch An Wenkang and the deputy chief Kang Ansheng are not the same family."
Boom~
Helianshen almost reacted as soon as his mind clicked.
The power of Xue Yue is firmly in the hands of Xue Yue Zhiyong. Even if his son Xue Yue Yingxiang, the so-called prairie eagle, keeps losing the battle, the future Blood Moon tribe will still be his.
But Angel is different.
The clan leader An Wenkang is stronger, but he is not much stronger than Kang Ansheng.
Otherwise, there would not have been the deputy clan leader Kang Ansheng.
If the Blood Moon Army kills Kang Ansheng in Running Deer...
Wouldn't the Angel tribe at his feet now belong to An Wenkang alone?
No wonder the Blood Moon army is already on the move, but An Wenkang is still busy with other things, and even his right bone, who came all the way from the royal court, is ignored.
hey-hey
The little guard looked around.
"Yougudu," he lowered his voice, "I heard that the second prince..."
cough.
He coughed and quickly corrected himself.
"I heard that someone once saw Hutintochi's lost dog near the Angel settlement."
"Tell me...Does An Wenkang really have any disobedience?"
Helian Shen's heart skipped a few beats.
He subconsciously looked towards the city wall outside the settlement.
After a long while, Helianshen spoke in warning.
"Don't talk nonsense, this is not our territory, be careful that the walls have ears."
