"General, a bunch of prairie people are coming outside, and they want to see you!"
A soldier quickly ran to Zhuo Bufan: "They said they were not here for the war, but had important matters to discuss with the general."
"You want to discuss something with me?" Zhuo Bufan was a little confused. According to his intelligence system, the grassland army had arrived, and the number of the vanguard troops was between thirty and forty thousand.
There were more people in the rear. This time the enemy's attack was so large and so sudden that they were caught off guard, making it impossible to summon the troops in time.
Now these people had to discuss things with him, which made him feel a little confused about what these people were doing. But after thinking about it, he went to meet the other party to see what they had to say.
"Give me the right horse!''
Total total total....
Under the protection of 400 soldiers, Zhuo Bufan came and went outside. He saw about two to three hundred nomadic cavalry not far away, and behind them there was a larger number of cavalry, but the other party did not approach the perimeter of the fortress.
, but watched from afar.
Seeing this group of cavalry arriving for the first time in the fortress, the hundreds of nomadic cavalry were a little commotion. They could feel the pressure brought by those hundreds of cavalry.
That should be the legendary Xiliang Iron Cavalry, that is, the fortune cavalry of Xiliang King Li Xiang. The combat effectiveness of this army no longer needs to be told by others. They have shown extremely powerful combat effectiveness in battle after battle and let the world know.
All major forces were amazed.
Most cavalry are only good at fighting on the plains, and only on the plains can the cavalry give full play to their advantages. However, the Xiliang cavalry displayed impressive combat effectiveness whether on the plains or in the mountains.
To be protected by such a cavalry, he must be the defender of this fortress. The boy who was well protected among the nomadic cavalry stepped out.
Zhuo Bufan and his soldiers slowly approached the nomadic cavalry. The cavalry around the young man stopped in place and watched quietly as the young man moved forward.
Because they know that this negotiation is very important, related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of them, and if they want to gain the trust of Western Union, then they need the young master to go to Xiliang alone to talk.
Now they are asking for Xiliang, so they have no choice.
Zhuo Bufan saw the young man walking towards him. The distance between the two was less than 10 meters. Within this distance, it was easy for him to take the name of the young man in front of him with the long sword in his hand.
It can be seen from how tightly he is protected by those cavalry that this young man has a very high status, but the other party allows the young man to come to him alone.
He really couldn't guess what these prairie people were thinking.
"I don't know, what does the young man want to see me for?" Zhuo Bufan asked directly.
The young man opened his mouth and hesitated for a while: "I am the young patriarch of the Zhunter family, Rogge, Zhunter.
I came here this time to get protection from the Xiliang army."
"Zhunter Family?" Zhuo Bufan, as the first person to deal with the prairie in the southwest, is naturally very familiar with this family. Although this family is not one of the seven major tribes on the prairie, they are very powerful.
It is the family closest to the Daqian Dynasty in the entire prairie, and it is also the tribal leader close to the Daqian Dynasty in the prairie. After the prairie launched the rebellion, it did not immediately go south to attack because of the opposition from families like Zunter.
At the beginning, they even clashed with the rebel tribes, and there were even several battles between the two sides.
It was precisely because of these families that the court had enough time to deal with changes on the grassland.
However, after the confrontation between the grassland and the imperial court, these tribal families who were close to the Daqian Dynasty began to remain silent.
"What happened to you?" Zhuo Bufan immediately felt that something had happened, otherwise the young patriarch of the Zhunter family would not have come here, let alone ask Xiliang to protect him.
At the same time, he also had doubts about the identity of the young man in front of him. He was not the kind of person to believe whatever others said, but now was not the time to dwell on this.
"We were attacked by the Golden Family and the Red Wolf Tribe!" The young man said through gritted teeth: "They attacked us. Our family was caught off guard. Coupled with some traitors in the clan, my father and uncles could only lead The elite cavalry under his command fled, and the remaining tribesmen moved to the vast north.
Now the people of the Golden Family and the Red Wolf Tribe are still chasing us. Other tribes on the grassland cannot shelter us, let alone take us in. We have no choice but to come and ask you to ask the King of Xiliang to take us in. We will become The sharp blade in your hand will become a faithful dog in your hand."
Rogge knew that if they could not get protection from Xiliang, there was only one fate waiting for them, and that was to be killed by the cavalry of the Golden Family and the Red Wolf Tribe chasing after them.
To do so is to trespass into Xiliang territory without authorization and be annihilated by the Xiliang army.
The final result of both of these is death. He doesn't want to die yet, he also wants revenge. The Golden Family and the Red Wolf Tribe are already mortal enemies in his heart!
As long as they can get revenge, as long as they can avenge their relatives, the warriors of the Zhunter tribe are willing to give up all dignity.
Hearing Rogge's words, Zhuo Bufan frowned tightly. If what this young man said is true, then huge changes will happen to the grassland next, because the Zhunter family is not just a powerful tribe on the grassland. , and they are also the opposition on the grassland.
They opposed going south to attack the Daqian Dynasty. They advocated re-establishing a subsidiary relationship with the Daqian Dynasty and opening a commercial market between the two sides. It was precisely because they were holding back that the grassland did not move south.
Otherwise, when the rebellion was launched at the beginning, the major tribes on the grassland could directly take over the northern land that invaded the Daqian Dynasty. At that time, there was no northern army led by Li Zhen in the northern region.
Moreover, when the ferocious beasts went south, they destroyed most of the city defense systems in the north. The prairie cavalry went south to pick up things and cities everywhere.
Once they are allowed to take root in the north, no matter how strong Li Zhen is, he will not be able to deal with the entire grassland.
Now that the Zhunter family has been wiped out, it also means that the leaders of these opposition groups have been wiped out. Can anyone still stop the prairie people from going south?
"Is what you said true?" Zhuo Bufan confirmed again.
Rogge also knew that his words were unfounded, but now he had nothing to prove his identity, so he chose the most dangerous method.
"If the general doesn't believe it, then I can order the 40,000 cavalry behind me to put down their weapons and let your Xiliang army handle it." Rogge got off his horse and knelt in the cold snow: "There are more than a dozen people behind us. The warriors of the Zhunter family who are thousands of years old are being hunted down by the cavalry of the Golden Family and the Red Wolf Tribe. I just ask you, General, to trust us and accept us."
Zhuo Bufan's tightly frowned brows did not relax: "I cannot agree to your matter, and I have no right to agree. Even if what you say is true, your army is too large, and we alone in the fortress cannot see it.
Stay with you.
However, I can send someone to quickly inform the king of the situation here. As for how the king will solve it, you have to wait for the response from Jiuyuan City.
But now it’s freezing cold. If you are willing to put down your weapons, give up your horses, and enter Wengcheng voluntarily, I can let you go to the fortress, avoid the cold wind, and wait quietly for news from the king!"
After listening to Rogge's words, Zhuo Bufan already had a plan in mind, so he came up with the above paragraph.
If what Rogge said is true, then these people must be protected, because they will be an opportunity for the Xiliang army to attack the prairie.
These people are making a living on the prairie, and they must have a very clear understanding of the terrain on the other side of the prairie. With the help of these people, the Xiliang army will not be completely blind on the grassland.
Moreover, people can be sent to search for this information. They only need to have people check it to know whether it is true or false. After all, if such a large tribe was wiped out, it is impossible for the news to not be spread.
This may also be the reason why they did not receive any news from the small tribes around the Qing tribe, because this army came from farther away.
The news of the destruction of the Zhunter family may not have reached the Qing tribe yet, so the people around them don't know the reason for the sudden arrival of this army.
This is a great explanation!
At the same time, his words were also a test. If this young man really wanted to be protected by their Xiliang army and was really desperate, then Xiliang would be their best choice.
They will definitely choose to enter the Wengcheng. Although that place is very dangerous, as long as they send people to take good care of it, it will be a very good military camp.
However, if these grassland people are double-minded, the Ceylon army can directly attack the enemies in the city from all directions and annihilate them all inside.
The Wengcheng is a huge trap for the fortress. Any enemy who enters this trap will not be able to come out alive unless other places break the city wall in time.
Rogge also knew what kind of place this was. What the prairie people were most afraid of was Wengcheng, because they were nomadic tribes, and they were best at fighting on the grasslands and didn't know much about city walls.
When attacking the city, if you are not careful, you will enter the Wengcheng and suffer attacks from all directions. Basically, few of the soldiers inside will survive.
This is a test for them from Xiliang.
Before coming, he had read a lot of new information there, and he knew very well what kind of strength Xiliang was!
"I am willing to let my men put down their weapons and horses." Rogge, who was still kneeling on the ground, said word by word: "All our safety is in the hands of your army. We have been on the way to escape for a long time.
Now that we have eaten, I hope the general can reward us with some food."
He is entrusting the safety of all of them to the Xiliang army. As long as the Xiliang army is a little malicious, then he and the tens of thousands of people under him will be in the hands of the Xiliang soldiers.
But does he have a choice?
If he wants to take revenge, he can only rely on the power of Xiliang and seek refuge in Xiliang.
Because there is no place for their Zhunter tribe to take root in the entire grassland, and there is no place for their Zhunter tribe.
Because the Golden Family and the Red Wolf Tribe attacked too quickly, they were not prepared at all, and the insiders in the clan caused them heavy losses.
If they want revenge, they can only seek refuge in Xiliang and gain the trust of Xiliang King Li Xiang, so that they can have a slight chance to fight back.
In order to gain the trust of Xiliang King Li Xiang, he was willing to put his head under the sword of a soldier.
This is the only thing they can gain the trust of Xiliang!
"Okay!" Zhuo Bufan said: "Get up and ask your men to put down their weapons. I will lead people to collect your weapons and then arrange for you to enter the city!
During this period, I don’t want any changes in your army. At the same time, you must be careful. Maybe there are some insiders among your soldiers who are unwilling to surrender to our Xiliang Army. They don’t want to see you surrendering and make such a move.
Some actions that threaten the lives of our Xiliang soldiers."
The young man said fiercely: "Please rest assured, general, no one will endanger the safety of Xiliang soldiers. We will throw all our wallets and weapons on the ground, wearing only a thin piece of clothing!"
"If anyone makes any unusual moves, please give the general the order to kill them without any hesitation!"
"good!"
...
Soon, a large group of people appeared on the snow-white ground, wearing only a thin sheepskin. They were shivering in the cold wind, but no one was willing to get thick clothes that were not far away.
Less than 5m in front of them, there was a very thick fur coat. As long as they put on the coat, they could keep out the cold. The cold wind would not reach their bodies and they would not shiver.
But no one was willing to put on those clothes, and no one reached out to pick up those things.
The Xiliang soldiers in the fortress quickly rushed out, took away their weapons and equipment, and handed the clothes to the grassland soldiers who were shivering in the cold wind.
Looking at these prairie people wearing thin clothes, the soldiers of Xiliang headquarters couldn't help but admire these people, because even they did not dare to wear such thin clothes in such a cold wind.
Perhaps the first people they brought with them spent such a cold winter like this, because that was how they were in Xiliang at the beginning, and only such people could enter their Xiliang and become their comrades.
From now on, their hatred will be the hatred of their Xiliang soldiers!
The premise is that as long as they are willing to work hard for Xiliang!
