Cross the Sea in the Red Chamber

Xue Jin was smashing things hard in his tent at this time. The first day of the Muzhe Conference had passed quietly. He sent more than [-] warriors from his tribe, but all of them were sent by the Northern Man tribe. The people stopped him, and none of them were promoted to the next round. If this continues, even if his tribe does not fall to the last place, it will not be much worse. In this way, will Xue Jin's tribe be assigned to the pasture next year?Could it be that their cattle and sheep are allowed to chew on the sand? !

Xue Jin was not the only one in the gorgeous tent, the leaders of other tribes descended from the Jing people in the Beiman Kingdom also gathered here.Their situation in today's competition is not much better than that of Xue Jin, their results are terrible, and they may not have a good time in the coming year.Therefore, all the talents came to look for Xue Jin, who had the best solution, to see if they could discuss a way out.

One of the tribal leaders named Zhang Bai gritted his teeth and said: "There is no way to endure it like this... Huh, everyone here is a friend. If there is something, I, Zhang Bai, will say it clearly. We are still in the north in name." The princes of the barbaric country, but who are those self-righteous bastards who treat us as princes? Even a dog can live more freely than us!"

Zhang Bai's face was ugly, "I just left the tribe to come here for a party. On the way, I ran into a few northern barbarians, who were subordinates of the Great Khan. They followed me all the way and thought I didn't see it! They northern barbarians didn't They don’t trust us, they are monitoring and tracking, and they are almost killing us with a knife!”

Hearing his words, the others echoed one after another, and everyone's face was not very good.

Indeed, the past few years have been difficult for everyone.Let's say that they are calm, even other foreign races are rejected by the northern barbarians.This can be tolerated, but what about surveillance and tracking?They devoted their blood, sweat and loyalty to the Northern Barbarian Kingdom. Could it be that they couldn't even get the most basic respect and trust? !This approach of the Northern Man Kingdom is simply laughing at them and treating them all as fools!

The ancestors of these descendants of Jingren were all military generals of the Yasukuni. After the alliance under the city, they left their hometowns and defected to the Northern Barbarian Kingdom.

In order to enable their future generations to have a better life and development.They thought that the Beiman Kingdom was very powerful, and that it was a good tree, so they could live in phoenixes and birds. They thought that only such a monarch could be worthy of their allegiance. Who knew that the Beiman Kingdom was very affectionate when it was needed, and they named them princes, Throw it aside immediately when you don't need it, and don't care.

Now more than one person is planning to abandon the Beiman Kingdom and return to Dajing, the motherland.But it is not easy when you come out, and it will only be more difficult when you go back.If they were pure northern barbarians, they would just leave the country and go to Jingguo. The emperor of Jingguo treated the traitors of the northern barbarians well. Naturally, there was a position of prince waiting for them, and it was easy to enjoy the glory and wealth for a lifetime.But who made them descendants of traitors who had betrayed Yasukuni?Can Yasukuni accept traitors like them so generously?

The identity of this descendant of traitors is really terrible, it simply makes them impossible to advance, but impossible to retreat, even if they scratch their heads, they don't know what to do.

The northern barbarians distrusted them because of their origins. They felt that they had the blood of Jingren, and their hearts were devoted to Jing.And Yasukuni refused to take them in because of their bloodlines, and because they had rebelled, it was hard to be trusted.But if you don't leave the Northern Man country while still holding some power in your hands, in a few years, when they are tormented by the sweat and have nothing to live on, even if they want to defect to others or seize power, I'm afraid there will be nothing they can do .

But where to go?

Xue Jin squinted his eyes, is he going to defect to the countries of the Western Regions?

As soon as this idea came up, he was immediately rejected by himself.

The Western Regions were a mess, and they were no match for the mighty Northern Man State. Perhaps some Western Region countries were unwilling to submit to the Northern Man State, but there was absolutely no country willing to take the initiative to provoke the Northern Man State.

Their country only has tens of thousands of troops, and they will be defeated in one battle, and their combat power is too weak, so they can't wait to treat the "Northern Man Shang Kingdom" flatteringly. How can they take in the traitors of the Northern Man?Wouldn't it be wrong for the northern barbarians to attack them because the traitors were with them...

If they don't seek refuge but go to snatch the territory of the Western Regions, then once they fall into war with the Western Regions, the Northern Barbarian Kingdom will immediately rush to attack the Western Regions on both sides and destroy them.

There was no way to get through the Western Regions, and it was impossible for them to rush out of the encirclement of the Western Regions and go to the Far West. With no way out, Xue Jin gritted his teeth and said, "Maybe we have a way to return to Yasukuni."

The descendants of the surrounding traitors cast their surprised eyes on him, go back?How?Their ancestors were traitors of the Yasukuni. The king and ministers of the Yasukuni hated them to death, even more than the northern barbarians. How could they take them in?

Xue Jin said: "Back then, the Great Khan of the Northern Man expelled us to some places where the water and plants were not good. He thought he could do something. Huh, but I didn't know that in these places, I accidentally got a piece of news... You, the Yuezhi people, do you know?"

Of course they knew that the Yuezhi people were very famous in the Beiman Kingdom.

The territory of the Yuezhi back then was half the size of the Northern Barbarians, and it was only wiped out by the Northern Barbarians in the past few decades. It is precisely because of the elimination of the Yuezhi people and the acquisition of their land and pastures that the power of the Northern Barbarians will increase greatly , was even able to defeat Yasukuni's.

The defeated Yuezhi people have now become the most famous bandits in the northern barbarian country, looting the tribe's cattle, sheep, gold and silver everywhere.But they are very slippery, and no one can catch them, so it is very troublesome.

In the past few years, the plunder of the Yuezhi people has become more and more rampant, and they have obtained unusually sophisticated weapons and equipment from nowhere. Not only some small tribes, but even some large tribes have been attacked by them. A tribe with a population of tens of thousands was wiped out, and many other tribes in the Northern Mansion were terrified.

"Why did the Yuezhi people become powerful? Because they defected to Yasukuni!" Xue Jin's words caused an uproar among the people present. The Yuezhi actually defected to Yasukuni. When did this happen?Why does no one know?No wonder the Yuezhi people's weapons are becoming more and more sophisticated, no wonder they are more and more daring in sneak attacks, without any scruples, the root cause is here.But what does this have to do with their descendants of traitors?

"You mean that the Yuezhi people received Yasukuni's support because they became enemies of the northern barbarians. The reason why the Yasukuni people contacted the Yuezhi people was to support them in fighting the northern barbarians?" The people in the position are definitely not stupid, but after a while, a leader said doubtfully.

"That's it." Xue Jin continued: "Although I don't know the specific thoughts of Yasukuni, they should be taboo against the Northern Man. They fear the Northern Man, so they don't want to fight the Northern Man. They do it. So I think that as long as they are enemies of the Northern Man, they are willing to accept... We can become such people!"

Xue Jin felt a little disdainful. He originally thought that Jingren would choose to fight the Beiman Kingdom head-on with such powerful weapons and equipment. As a result, after several years, Jingren had no intention of making a move at all. Instead, he secretly went to support Yue. The clan attacked some tribes.Don't blame him for looking down on him with only this courage.

Following Xue Jin's words, the breathing rate of all the descendants of the rebels changed.Indeed, as a descendant of a traitor, if he suddenly proposed that he would not be able to survive in the Northern Barbarian Kingdom and wanted to return to Yasukuni, he would obviously not be taken in by Yasukuni, and he would still look down on them, but what if they changed their approach?What if they become enemies of the northern barbarians like the Yuezhi?

On the one hand, as the enemies of the northern barbarians, they can properly plunder the resources of the northern barbarians, and they can also get support from the Yasukuni side.On the other hand, they did not enter the territory of Yasukuni, and they still lived in the familiar territory of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom, and they did not have to worry about the liquidation of them by the emperor of Yasukuni.It doesn't hurt anyway, it's a really good idea.

Seeing that his point of view was recognized by everyone present, Xue Jin nodded and said with a smile, "There is a well-known vocabulary in Yasukuni called 'voting certificates'. If you want to leave Beiman and join Yasukuni, you must In front of Yasukuni, we will show that we are at odds with the northern barbarians, so that we can gain Yasukuni's trust and their support."

"I have contacted people from the Yue Clan, and I also know officials and businessmen who sell tea and salt in Yasukuni, and even some Yasukuni officials and their country's emperors. As long as we show hatred against the Northern Man and win their trust, I will We are confident that Yasukuni can fully accept us, and we will be treated no worse than the Yuezhi people at least in terms of treatment."

Up to now, these descendants of Jing people have no way to retreat, and everyone chooses to believe in Xue Jin who is in the same situation as them, and Xue Jin is really powerful, unexpectedly able to come up with so many useful strategies in a short period of time.Therefore, at this time, all the descendants of the traitors chose to unite around Xue Jin, promoted Xue Jin as their leader, and fought for a way out for them!

"As for the certificate of honor..." Xue Jin was very satisfied with his status, and this feeling of superiority made him a little smug.He showed a bloody smile, "Just choose..."

Night is always silent, there is no summer insects, only the increasingly bleak autumn wind.The bright moon in the sky is covered by clouds, and only a little bit of starlight illuminates the vast grassland, so comfortable and peaceful.

Abona Jiang frowned and sat in his big tent, lost in thought.Today, all the leaders of the northern barbarians went to the king's tent, begging the Great Khan to uphold justice for them, severely punish the descendants of Jingren, and make up for their losses.But Da Khan just told them to stay calm and go back first, and did not act immediately.

According to the Great Khan, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although Xue Jin and his tribes descended from the Jing people have gradually become smaller because of his suppression, there are still many of their subordinates who are loyal to their Jing people.If you attack them rashly, it will only lead to a domestic war. If you can't kill them all at once, you will leave a serious trouble like the Yuezhi people.Therefore, it is better to use a strategy to arrest those who are the masters first, and then clean up their tribe.

The Khan's strategy was as follows. Early tomorrow morning, the Khan would order all the tribal leaders in the country to go to the big tent to discuss matters, saying that they would discuss whether to send troops to plunder the Western Regions in winter.

Of course, this is just an excuse.Using this excuse, they were able to trick Xue Jin and others into the king's tent, and then the Great Khan threw a cup as a sign. At that time, all the leaders of the northern barbarians and the guards in ambush in the tent would attack together, and Xue Jin and others would be taken together. Killed in the king's tent.In this way, the Jingren tribes who have lost their leaders will compromise, surrender, and be divided up by other tribes without leaving any future troubles.

The strategy is a very good strategy, but Abonajiang still feels a little uneasy, and he is always worried.

He also knew that these worries were nothing more than baseless guesses. According to Xue Jin and the Jingren's current strength, even if they wanted to mess around in Qingli Lake, there was nothing they could do.They have so few people in their hands, but an army of 4 to [-] is less than half of their northern barbarians. What can they do?Even if their leader is not killed first, according to the power of their tribe, there will be no big waves.It should be fine...

Thinking of this, Abonajiang stopped thinking too much. He drank a pot of strong wine, and he recruited an orchid snatched by a tribe from a small country in the Western Regions and pressed it on the blanket...

Just when Aberna's hustle and bustle was over and he fell asleep, people suddenly shouted and shouted outside the big tent.At first, Abonajiang didn't take it seriously. The strong alcohol made him unable to distinguish between reality and dream, and he still regarded it as something in the dream.But the sound became louder and closer, and the light outside became stronger and stronger, as bright as day, and someone stood outside his tent and kept shouting: "Boss, boss, it's not good, come out!" Big deal!"

Abonajiang pushed away the orchid next to him, dressed himself casually, opened the felt curtain at the door of the big tent and walked out.

As soon as he stepped out of the gate, Abernajiang saw chaos outside. The clansmen in the surrounding tents rushed past his eyes in disheveled clothes. Several tents not far away were even ignited into the sky. There came the neighing of cows and horses.How is this going?

Seeing him stepping out of the tent, one of Abernajiang's subordinates hurried over and said loudly, "Leader, it's not good, something serious happened. The cattle, sheep and horses in the tribe were all frightened!"

Frightened cattle, sheep, and horses may not be a problem in other countries at all, but it is definitely a terrible event in the Northern Barbarian Kingdom where the Shepherd and Philosophy Conference is being held!

During the shepherd's meeting, people from all the northern barbarian countries will gather together, and the entire tribe will migrate here, and gather all the livestock in tents to prevent them from being bitten by wolves and other wild animals. How many people will there be? Cattle, sheep and horses put together?

As a nomadic country, the northern barbarian country originally had a large number of cattle and sheep, and even a few horses. Even the slaves had horses to ride. So many livestock were frightened in the middle of the station. How big would something happen? !

Abonajiang frowned tightly, "How could the livestock be frightened? How many frightened livestock are there?"

We must know that livestock are generally not frightened. If they do not encounter natural enemies, such as wolves or golden eagles, livestock generally stay in the enclosure obediently. How could they be frightened suddenly?With so many tents surrounding the cattle and sheep pens, it is impossible for a ferocious beast to pass through without waking up the people. Do those beasts know the art of war?

The subordinate quickly replied: "Chief, I don't know about this matter. I only know that the livestock of several tribes around were frightened. They fled in all directions, and they were still on fire, so they lit the tent..."

"Fire?!" The subordinate didn't understand what the flame represented, so how could the leader, Abernajiang, not understand the meaning of fire?

All livestock are naturally afraid of flames, and this fear is more severe than natural enemies. Even carnivorous beasts dare not approach flames.Although animals raised and trained by humans are better at accepting fire, but that is when they see fire.If the animal's own fur or tail is on fire, they don't care about that, they will definitely go crazy and rush around!

It is because livestock are afraid of flames, so all livestock pens are arranged in places far away from flames. How can they catch fire?Abonajiang was very sure that someone must have set the fire on purpose to disturb the livestock.But who would do that?What good is there?

Before he could figure it out, a panic-stricken cow with red eyes rushed over and rushed directly into the tent of Aberna River, knocking down the gorgeous tent, and burning the cow's tail. The flames ignited the collapsed tent, and instantly ignited a big fire.

If it wasn't for the agility of Abernajiang who was standing by the tent, he dodged in time, and he wasn't hit by the cow, he would have been seriously injured in just one blow.But his clansman was not as lucky as him. He was directly hit by another rushing bull, and his back was pierced by the bull's horn, but he stopped breathing within a few breaths.

There is no way to ride horses in places where such livestock are running away, because their horses are also placed near the cattle and sheep pens. Listen to the orders of the masters.It is even worse to stay in place and wait for the riots to stop. They will definitely be trampled to death by frightened and frantic livestock.

Abonajiang had no choice but to lead the people to run to a place without fire, trying to avoid these crazy animals.But those crazy beasts ignored the call of their owners at all, and wantonly ignited everything that could be ignited with the flames on the fur, destroying all the blankets and tents, leaving nothing behind.

Why is this scene so familiar? It seems to have been heard somewhere before... Abernajiang thought as he ran desperately on his short legs.It wasn't until he rushed out of the tribe's camp that he suddenly realized where he had heard this scene.

It's Dajing!When the official named Lin Jun was chatting with him, he once mentioned a story. During the Warring States Period in the Central Plains, a general named Tian Dan once invented a tactic, which seems to be called the Fire Bull Formation...

Wait, Central Plains? !Central Plains people... descendants of Jing people!

He knew that this was not the right way. This kind of insidious method that only people from the Central Plains could think of was definitely not what the northern barbarians would do. It was definitely the method that the descendants of the Yasukuni came up with!He only guessed that they would secretly poison the livestock to take revenge on the northern barbarians, but he didn't expect that they would dare to sneak into the camp here to disturb the livestock and disturb all the tribes by the Qingli Lake.This is a betrayal, this is definitely a betrayal of the northern barbarian country!

This group of damned traitors not only betrayed the motherland, Yasukuni, but now they even betrayed the northern barbarian country that raised them!He just said, this group of traitors cannot be trusted at all, they have no loyalty at all wherever they go!

Standing on the high hillside beside the Qingli Lake, Xue Jin and other descendants of the rebel generals watched the chaos in the northern barbarian tribal camps around the lake.Yes, they were the ones who just set fire to it.

The soldiers and horses in the hands of these Jingren tribes are too few. If they fight head-on, they will not be able to pose any effective threat to the northern barbarians. Even if they escape, they will not be able to escape the pursuit of the northern barbarians.Maybe their tribe will be completely wiped out by the northern barbarians in the end.

So Xue Jin, the leader, came up with this method of imitating the Fire Bull Formation.In the first half of the night, let all the clansmen lead their livestock to hide in the mountains.Then they sent some tribesmen who were good at hiding to lurk in the big camps of the various tribes of the northern barbarians in the middle of the night, and set fire to the tails and fur of the livestock in the middle of their camp.

As long as one-third of the cattle, sheep and horses are lit, the frightened and fleeing animals will make all the other animals in the enclosure panic.Afterwards, as long as you open the gate of the fence in the chaos and let the frightened livestock rush out, you can play the role of central flowering!

Each of so many livestock is like extra Jing soldiers. As long as they run around and destroy everywhere, the soldiers and civilians of the Northern Barbarians will fall into chaos.And once the horses were startled by the flames, these cavalrymen couldn't even escape on horseback. Without their horses, the powerful cavalrymen of the northern barbarians would immediately become a group of soft-handed waste.

To frighten the livestock in the center of the camp is only the first step, and to let the frightened livestock rush into the surrounding tents and cause chaos in the entire northern barbarian camp is only the second step.The third step in the plan is to take advantage of the chaos to attack the northern barbarians!

Xue Jin waved his hand violently, and all the clansmen hiding behind him got on their horses and followed behind him.

"Warriors! Clan people! The Northern Barbarians spurn us, despise us, and ignore our contribution to the Northern Barbarian Kingdom. They actually want to hide all the birds, and cook the rabbits to death... Hmph, how can there be such a good thing in this world?! Now we will resist their brutal rule, completely defeat the incompetent northern barbarians, and return to our motherland with victory!"

No matter what the tribe he led thought, seeing the chaotic tents and burning camps by the Qingli Lake, they had no choice but to follow Xue Jin's thief boat.

So what if they still love the Northern Man?Xue Jin and the others caused such a big incident, once captured by the Great Khan of the Northern Man Kingdom, the entire tribe would definitely be beheaded, leaving no one behind.Lian Zuo is not the only thing that Jing people are doing. What the northern barbarians are doing is more powerful and cruel. If they don't want to die, then they can only follow Xue Jin and the others to the dark, and pray for victory.

"I am willing to follow King Dingling, destroy the northern barbarians, and return to the Dajing Dynasty!" All the clansmen shouted in unison, pulling out the scimitars around their waists.

"Okay!" The ambitious Xue Jin pursed his lips and showed a shallow smile, "Clan people, follow me, kill Beiman Khan, and dedicate his head to Dajing!"

"Behead for meritorious service, behead for meritorious service!" All the descendants of the rebels shouted loudly, and followed Xue Jin's figure and rushed to the burning northern barbarian garrison on the hillside.Holding sharp sabers in their hands, they slashed at the panicked northern barbarians.Bright blood flowers immediately bloomed by the Qingli Lake!
