"The last victory" is a name given by Zhao Hongrun himself, which means "the last victory that can be called a war with the Jiejiao Army". Its purpose is to severely damage the Jiejiao cavalry and make Jiejiao
In the composition of the army, the ratio of Jiejiao cavalry and Jiejiao slave soldiers was out of balance, which made it easier for Zhao Hongrun to use the strategy of luring the Jiejiao slave soldiers to rebel and destroy the main force of the Jiejiao tribe in one fell swoop.
Of course, to achieve this, we must have the support of "those people".
Even on the sheepskin that Lu Balong had given to Zhao Hongrun, there was a list of personnel given by the former's younger brother Gaqihan before his death. Those tribes in Luocheng were resistant to the Wei army and still hoped to
The war with Jiejiao was resolved, and even the Yi people and the Yi people who took refuge in Jiejiao.
In the evening of that day, after discussing the military affairs and having a good meal, Wuwu, the young leader of the Qingyang tribe, wisely took his sister Ouna and left the meeting because he got the hint from Zhao Hongrun's eyes and realized that Zhao Hongrun didn't want him to.
Wu's sister Oona saw what happened next in this felt tent.
After all, Wu Wu knew better than Zhao Hongrun how the three tribes of Yi, Jie and Yi treated traitors.
After the brothers Wu Wu and Wu Na left the banquet, Lu Balong, the chief of the Lun clan of the Yi tribe, asked people to secretly bring three of the leaders to the felt tent.
"well……"
Meng Liang, the chief of the Meng clan of the Yi tribe, and Xu Dan, the chief of the "Xu clan", sighed secretly.
Why are you sighing? It’s just that among the leaders who were tied with ropes in the tent, one of them is the leader of their tribe.
Qi Muke, the leader of the Gray Sheep Tribe of the Yi Tribe, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, a leader in his tribe also participated in this conspiracy, but for some unknown reason, Lu Balong did not order anyone to bring him.
Those three leaders are all leaders of the Yi tribe, the Lun family, the Meng family, and the Xu family, exactly one name for each tribe.
"His Royal Highness Prince Su." He turned around and saluted Zhao Hongrun, and Lu Balong said expressionlessly: "I, Sayin from the Lun family, Alu from the Meng family, and Shuerha from the Xu family, three...
The traitor of Tongjiajiao.”
After hearing this, the two clan leaders, Meng Liang and Xu Dan, sighed silently again.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun just nodded slightly and did not intend to interfere. After all, this matter was a bit sensitive.
"Leave it to you."
Zhao Hongrun gestured to Lu Balong with his expression.
Lu Balong understood. In fact, he was inclined to do this. Even if he was a traitor, he was still a member of the tribe. If Zhao Hongrun called the Shang Shui Army to punish these three people, even if the chiefs of the Sheang tribe present did not say anything, they would definitely be thinking in their hearts.
A little uncomfortable.
But if Lu Balong, Meng Liang, and Xu Dan come to solve it personally, this is called cleaning up the family, and this is in line with the rules.
"Sayin..."
Lu Balong took off the cloth from Sayin's mouth, looked at him with a complicated expression, and said melancholy: "A few days ago, you and Gaqihan (Lu Balong's younger brother) both said that we could not stop him.
Jiejiao's army concluded that our side will be defeated. But now, Jiejiao's Bitatu has been defeated in three battles in Luocheng, and it is the end of the road. Do you still insist on your conclusion?"
Sayin opened his mouth, with a hint of panic on his face.
In fact, it's no wonder. After all, how many people could have imagined that the more than 200,000 Jiejiao Army would be defeated again and again by the combined forces of 30,000 Wei Army and Hehuang warriors?
"(In the language of the Yi people) Patriarch, I was wrong, I was wrong, please forgive me... King Su, you are far-sighted. I, Sayin, know that I was wrong. I beg you to let me, Chief, please forgive me."
Sayin repeatedly begged for mercy, but seeing that Lu Balong was indifferent, he actually turned to look at Zhao Hongrun and begged for mercy and life.
Although Zhao Hongrun could understand the Shen language, since he had decided to hand over this matter to Lu Balong, how could he interfere without authorization, so he picked up the horn cup and pretended to drink, pretending not to hear.
At this time, Lu Balong also stopped Sayin's begging for mercy.
"Shut up!... Sayin, you should know how traitors will be punished."
Upon hearing this, Sayin's face turned red for some reason, and he explained eagerly: "No, no, Patriarch, I have never had the idea of betraying the tribe or the Patriarch, whether it was me or the Patriarch, your brother Gaqihan
, we just hope that the tribe can thrive..."
"Shut up!" Lu Balong shouted in a deep voice: "Even if you did not betray the tribe, your behavior with Gaqihan betrayed the "Luoshui Alliance", betrayed King Su, and betrayed the twenty people present here.
The three clan leaders... traitors should be punished by being 'betrayed'!"
After hearing about the "Beijing Punishment", Sayin swallowed his saliva and showed a bit of fear on his face.
This made Zhao Hongrun a little curious.
Only later did he learn that "beating" was one of the severe punishments of the Sanchuan tribe. The criminal was tied to a log and the aggressive Jie Yang was forced to pierce his abdomen with his horns.
The cruelty is that a person who is stabbed in the abdomen will not die immediately. He will go through hunger, thirst, pain, and finally bleed to death.
What's even more cruel is that even after the person dies, he will still expose his body on the wooden frame for several days as a lesson to the rest of the tribe.
It can be called a form of torture.
No, when thinking about the cruelty of "Being Punishment", even though he was a strong man, Sayin's face turned a little pale.
Compared with fearing death, he was more afraid of this punishment, because according to the customs and culture of the Yi people, people who were killed by sheep would not be protected by the gods of the plateau after their death.
After all, in the culture of the Yi people, the image of the God of the Plateau is a god with the head of a sheep and a human body.
Maybe he thought that after his death he would become a lonely ghost floating in the sky, unable to return to the embrace of the plateau god. Sayin's legs softened and he almost collapsed to the ground. Fortunately, Lu Balon had quick eyes and quick hands and caught him.
his arm.
"Do you want to atone for your sins?" Lu Balon asked.
After hearing this, Sayin nodded repeatedly.
Seeing this, Lu Balong said in a deep voice: "If you want to atone for your sins, tonight you leave Luocheng and go to the Jijiao army outside the city to lure Bitatu to Luocheng so that we can capture him.
Kill... If successful, His Highness King Su will spare your life, and you will not have to suffer the pain of "Being". Moreover, your wife and children can still continue to live in Sanchuan, and I will take care of them for you. Otherwise,
If you die under the "Beijing Punishment", your wife and children will also be implicated by you and expelled from Sanchuan..."
"Clan leader..." Sayin looked at Lu Balong in disbelief.
Perhaps guessing Sayin's thoughts, Lu Balon shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Don't blame me for being ruthless. Now I am not only responsible for my Lun clan, but also for the 'Luoshui Alliance'. I won't do it because of you."
As a tribesman, I will give you some mercy..." At this point, he took a deep look at Sayin and said in a complicated tone: "This is your last chance, take advantage of it. Gaqihan, there is no such thing.
Chance……"
The clan chiefs present all glanced at Lu Balong in unison after hearing this.
It has to be said that they were surprised that Lu Balong had an affair with his own brother Gaqihan, who was a Jiejiao people. In addition to being surprised, no one accused Lubalong of insulting other clan leaders for having an affair with Jiejiao.
People's behavior, and also gave understanding and support to Zhao Hongrun's reuse of Lu Balong.
Perhaps thinking of the fate of Lu Balon's biological brother Gaqihan, Sayin gritted his teeth and nodded bravely.
Then, he asked: "If Bitatu sees through my intention, then..."
"..." Lu Balong frowned when he heard this. After a moment of hesitation, he turned to look at Zhao Hongrun, asking for the latter's opinion.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun said in the Yi language: "If your deeds are exposed, your family will have Chief Lu Balong to take care of you."
Thinking about it, if his deeds were exposed, it would be impossible for Sayin to come out of the Jiejiao Army alive, and he would definitely be killed by Bitatu. Naturally, Zhao Hongrun would not implicate his family.
Hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Lu Balon's eyes, and then he said to Sayin in a deep voice: "Did you hear it?"
"Yes." Sayin nodded and glanced at Zhao Hongrun with a complicated expression.
After a while, he hesitantly asked Lu Balon: "Chief, if I successfully lure Bitatu and his tribe's warriors to Luocheng, can I be allowed back to the tribe?"
"Don't push yourself too far!" Lu Balong shouted loudly: "You should know that the Lun clan will not tolerate a traitor as a member of the clan!"
Sayin opened his mouth and said firmly: "Even if I am a slave, I hope to return to the tribe!"
Lu Balong was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth for a long time, and finally said melancholy: "Let's wait until you come back alive... then we can talk."
Perhaps sensing that Lu Balong was showing signs of relenting, Sayin's face was filled with joy as if he had survived a disaster.
After that, Meng Liang, the chief of the Meng tribe, and Xu Dan, the chief of the Xu tribe, also personally asked the leader of the tribe. The two leaders expressed their willingness to atone for their sins, and proposed the same thing as Sayin.
Plea: If I can come back alive, even if I am a slave, I hope to stay in the tribe and do not want to be expelled from the tribe or Sanchuan.
Afterwards, accompanied by Lu Balong, Meng Liang, Xu Dan and others, Zhao Hongrun personally told Sayin, Aru and Shurha how to deceive Bitatu's trust.
After repeatedly urging the three of them to keep it in mind, Zhao Hongrun asked someone to bring wine and meat, and gave the three of them a full meal. Then the three of them left Luocheng in the dark and headed for the Jiejiao Army's camp.
Around 11:00, the three of Sayin met the patrolling Jiejiao cavalry in the countryside, and were taken to Bitatu's felt tent by the latter.
Bitatu was very surprised by the arrival of these three people.
Although he had known for a long time that there were people in the Xiang tribe in Luocheng who were friendly to his Jiejiao, otherwise, there would have been a cavalry group from the Lun tribe who would not have secretly revealed the events of those days in Luocheng to him.
But what makes Bitatu feel suspicious is that his current situation is quite dangerous. He no longer has the prestige he had when he came half a month ago. Why do these Sheang people still sneak out of Luocheng to have a private meeting with him?
But in front of Bitatu, who looked suspicious, Sayin and the other three people talked about their plans.
"Chief Bitatu, we have found out that the Wei army is not able to control the sky fire. It is a kind of oil that the Wei people call "Fierce Oil". Now, the Wei people have piled up this fierce fire oil in the city and sent heavy troops to guard it.
As long as we sneak in and light it on fire, the Wei people in Luo City will definitely be in chaos. When the time comes, we take the opportunity to open the west city gate and put in the cavalry of the Jiejiao tribe, and the Wei people will definitely die!"
"..."
Looking at the three people talking, Bitatu remained silent.
To be fair, he didn't really believe what these three people said, but the problem was that he was helpless about the terrible situation he was currently in. The Jiejiao tribe was almost torn apart. Do he really want to give up this opportunity?
What if the other party is sincere?
Wouldn’t it be possible to use this battle to completely reverse the disadvantage?
Thinking of this, Bitatu couldn't help but feel a little excited.
He probably didn't expect that Zhao Hongrun knew the gambler's mentality when people were at a disadvantage, so he resorted to deception when Bitatu was in a dangerous situation, in order to knock him off the cliff completely and make it difficult for him to stand up!
