Chapter 360 C Scroll Sincerity

  The cavalry quickly spread out, and more than a dozen cavalry in front followed closely behind one. The smoke and dust all over the sky showed that this chase had been going on for quite a while.

After seeing the formation of Feng Ziying's side, more than a dozen riders on the other side quickly made an arc turn, trying to avoid such an encirclement, but because the distance was too close and the speed was too fast, a few riders still fell into the encirclement. Zhengming, a few riders fell off their horses, while the rest of the dozen or so riders roared away without paying any attention to it, even their own archers had no time to use it.

   "It's Hara Wusu's horse thief." After a glance, Feng Zuo's face was gloomy.

  The Tatars couldn’t even do such an inhumane move. They abandoned their companions and fled without hesitation. It was purely because of Lihe that they would fly apart if they were in danger.

  Halawusu is another name for the Heishui River (Dusi Tu River) on the grassland.

There are quite a number of horse thieves active in this area. They include officers and soldiers who escaped from Han land, bandits who killed people and robbed their goods and had nowhere to go, and some herdsmen who committed crimes on the grasslands and escaped from the pursuit of noble chiefs. Slaves, in short, there are people of all colors, mixed together, and it becomes like this.

These people have no faith at all. They can join the frontier army today, and they can turn to the Tatar tribes tomorrow. They dare to swarm up and kill caravans that can be eaten. Occasionally, they can work hard to spy for the frontier army and the Tatars. Intelligence or intercept the sentries of both sides, or even eat both sides at the same time.

   "Master Zuo, what should we do?" The group of people has returned to their positions as a whole team. Except for one person who was injured in the waist but not serious, the others are all fine.

"Hurry up and go west, and then turn north." Feng Zuo has already realized the danger. These horse thieves must have a purpose for getting away without hesitation. Come with a purpose.

"What's the matter, Uncle Zuo?" Feng Ziying's adrenaline surged suddenly at the moment of the enemy's attack, an unprecedented impulse rippling in her chest, watching the horse galloping wildly, the blades intertwined, only one or two rounds separated life and death, shouted, Roaring, roaring, and then the clanging of gold and iron and the rattling of horseshoes, the blood-boiling scene was imprinted in Feng Ziying's mind like lightning and flint.

   "Hurry up, these gang of horse thieves are probably ordered by others to inspect, maybe Su Nang Taiji has issued a blockade order, targeting us..." Feng Zuo's face was not very good.

  Feng Ziying was taken aback, and quickly realized, "You mean our whereabouts have been leaked?"

Feng Zuo smiled wryly: "Master, this Yulin Town is so big and there are so many people, what we can think of, others can think of, and people are always paying attention to our movements, so we can only rush for time. Although Su Nang is powerful, But he will not openly quarrel with Bu Shitu, as long as we enter the territory of Bu Shitu, Su Nang will have no choice but to give up."

  But two hours later, the thunderous sound of horseshoes from behind had already caught up. Feng Ziying couldn't tell how many there were, but a rough estimate should be about seventy or eighty horses.

  At this time, Feng Zuo no longer had the previous anxiety, but was replaced by a calmness that was almost indifferent.

"Huli Ke, take the young master and Master Zhang westward. We will meet up at the agreed place in three hours, and the rest will follow me." Without giving Feng Ziying any chance to speak, the entire cavalry team quickly divided into three groups to cover the most vulnerable group. The unobtrusive three riders rushed westward quickly.

  Feng Ziying couldn't remember how long she had been running, and the horse under her crotch began to slow down, and the crotch of her legs began to burn, but she didn't feel it before.

Originally, there were four or five cavalry following behind him, constantly circling to support him, and finally launched a counterattack when the chasing cavalry approached, and only the silent man named Huli Ke was left to lead himself and Zhang Jin all the way. .

"Master, Master Zhang, go this way." Huli Ke found the path easily in the vast night. Feng Ziying and Zhang Jin were both surprised by each other's ability, but there was nothing extra at this time Thought to ask.

  After three hours, Feng Ziying finally saw the people who came to meet.

   There were only seventeen riders left, and five of them never followed.

  Feng Zuo didn't ask any more questions. It was obvious that Ye Bu Shou and Jian Whistle had specific rules, and this feeling of depression made Feng Ziying unspeakably uncomfortable.

"Brother Keng, this is the battlefield. Every year if you don't close at night, there will be a dozen people who will not come back, and four or five people will be lost at the sharp whistle. This is still in a normal situation where there are not many battles. When there are wars together, one by one." It's normal not to lose thirty or fifty people on New Year's Eve."

   Seems to have sensed Feng Ziying's depressed mood, but Feng Zuo seemed very indifferent, "The general will inevitably die in battle if the earthen jar is not separated from the mouth of the well, let alone the soldiers below?"

  Seeing that everyone set off in high spirits in the morning, but the five of them disappeared forever in the evening, Feng Ziying felt this kind of cruelty from the battlefield for the first time.

  Feng Ziying didn't say anything more, saying anything seemed superfluous. Could it be that she is not yet mentally prepared for this?

   Fortunately, after experiencing this slightly thrilling twists and turns, it seemed to calm down in the next two days. In the next two days, Feng Ziying learned the general idea from the few words of these soldiers.

   It should be the horse thief who quickly passed the news to Su Nangtaiji's cavalry team cruising around here, and probably more than a hundred cavalry chased them up.

These rangers are also the elite of the Tatars, one man and three horses, so the pursuit speed is very fast. In order to get rid of, Feng Zuo and the others had to divide into three groups, adopting a situation of entanglement and harassment to hold each other down. In terms of combat power, this side is far better than the other side, but the huge difference in numbers still caused losses.

  ******

"They're gone?" Some dark yellow eyes stared at something like a beast in the darkness. The dim oil lamps in the big tent and the brazier piled up in the center made the whole tent feel heavy and flickering. Feeling, "Where did you go?"

   "Taiji, several people left separately, but the son who is said to be General Feng did not leave, but he was very active, and it is said that he had contact with the nobles of several other films."

   "Then do you think I will see you or not?" The voice hesitated, but also unwilling.

"Taiji, I think it's better to meet and see, not to mention that Taiji and the Feng family have always had friendship, but we still need to maintain trade relations with Han, and Ulut is also a little bit excited." Kneeling at the door The man swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said slowly: "The tea bricks they brought are very good, and Duer Taiji, the five-way officer, also wants to see him."

Wuluba Duer Taiji is the great-uncle of Bushitu, the leader of Ulut in the Tumd tribe, and an important ally of Bushitu. Without the support of Wuluba Duer, Bushitu would not have Powerless to fight against Su Nang.

  Bushitu's face looks much older than his actual age, with small eyes, a wide flat nose, and a wide mouth, but his eyes are particularly lively.

People on the prairie are like this. After staying in Xihai for so many years, his face has a unique black and rosy color on the Xihai plateau, but that face completely follows the mold of his father Chaotu Taiji , is very similar to his grandfather Lalik, and with this face, Shitu has won the support of many people in the Tumot tribe.

Of course, this is all secondary. Bu Shitu knows that many people support him because they are more afraid of San Niangzi's control of tribal power and wealth for so many years, especially her monopoly of trade with Dazhou, and her control of the most affluent Bansheng area. This makes it difficult for many people to balance.

   Now that his grandfather has finally passed away, then whoever will be the Tumet Khan and who will take over the Shunyi King must have a good discussion.

   "You said some of them left, where did they go?" Bu Shitu was a little unwilling to be so passive.

Of course he understood the purpose of Da Zhou's envoy. Su Nang's army had put a lot of pressure on Da Zhou along the line from Hequ Huangfu River to Hongliu River. nice one.

   This made Bu Shitu both envious and jealous, but also looking forward to it.

Bu Shitu knew that his own strength did not allow him to be as capricious as Pixel Nang. He wanted Da Zhou to give him the title of King of Shunyi, and he also had to force Da Zhou to give him greater benefits, such as opening a trade fair in the border trade market. More trading points give more merchants the qualifications for trading.

  But Su Nang's troubles are not without benefits, at least he can have more weight with Da Zhou.

"I'm not sure. The people they brought were very powerful. They were all one man and two horses. Once they went out, they couldn't find anyone. The people they sent to follow disappeared after a while. It should be Yebu from the frontier army in Yulin. receive,…"

Bu Shitu was very upset by the people's report, "A group of idiots, they can't do this well! You know you want tea and salt all day long, and you don't even know the bottom line of their conditions. How can you ask them for it?" thing?"

  The person kneeling at the door hurriedly lowered his head, feeling a little ashamed. On the grassland, on his own territory, he actually lost face after him. It was indeed a bit embarrassing.

   "Did they go to contact those Han people in the south?" Bu Shitu suddenly shuddered, as if thinking of something.

"Impossible? Those Han people probably won't deal with the court of the Great Zhou. Their leaders were all beheaded by the Great Zhou..." The person kneeling at the door raised his head in surprise, "It's been so many years, but I've never heard of it. They have connections with Han,..."

"We didn't find out, it doesn't mean they have no contact. Moreover, after so many years, the court of the Great Zhou may not remember this group of people, but General Feng may not. By the way, you said that the leader is General Feng's." son?"

  Bu Shitu was a little skeptical. He knew the situation of the Feng family very well, and he was the real talker of Datong.

When he was young, he went to Datong with his father. It was really a first-class city in the world. The level of prosperity and prosperity still appeared in his dreams from time to time. The Feng family was the most powerful family in Datong. In their understanding Just like Altan Khan's position in Tumed's branch, except for Chahar, in Datong, maybe except for the Great Zhou court, it should be the Feng family who speaks the most.

But the person in charge of the Feng family that my father took me to meet died in the war with the Chahar people more than ten years ago. Later, his younger brother took over, and later that younger brother also died of illness. General Feng succeeded his elder brother, but it is not clear why the Great Zhou court drove this General Feng out of Datong again and to Hetao.

  However, it is probably the same reason as these power struggles on the grassland, and Bu Shitu can probably guess it.

The two former generals of the Feng family had no heirs, and only the current General Feng has a son. The tribes on the grasslands are also aware of these situations. It still has unparalleled influence in Datong.

  So Bu Shitu didn't believe that General Feng dared to send his only legitimate son to the grassland. Isn't he afraid of accidents?
