Benlu tribe.

The huge tribe is in a mess, empty everywhere.Abandoned tents, clothing and food remnants can be seen everywhere.The air was full of nauseating odors one after another.

Angel Station.

Kang Ansheng walked around in the large tent of the Chinese army irritably.

Although the temperature in late autumn has become cooler, it seems that it can't calm him down at this time.

boom!
Kang Ansheng punched the shelf in front of him hard.

"It's unreasonable! Everyone has left, and no tribe is willing to listen to my orders. It's unreasonable!"

Elder Dong looked up at him, then silently lowered his eyelids.

Originally, many small and medium-sized tribes in the Eastern Expedition Army were willing to obey them.

However, in the First Battle of Dingxi, almost all such tribes were wiped out.Those who fled back were only scattered soldiers.

The rest naturally regard them as nothing.

"Duoji," Kang Ansheng looked at the person he was most convinced by now, "What should we do now? Should we go back or stay?"

Elder Dong pondered for a while, "We can't leave yet!"

"Aren't you worried about..."

As Kang Ansheng spoke, he couldn't help looking up at the map hanging in the tent.

This map is even cruder than the one drawn by Ren Ning. It only shows a few tribes and the general location of the corresponding water sources, and everything else is almost blank.

And on the map of this meeting, the territory of the Blood Moon tribe has been framed in red by Elder Dong, like an unreachable mountain, firmly blocking their way back.

Dorji shook his head, "Auxiliary, what I am worried about is not the blood moon, but here."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand heavily to the depths of the grassland.

Uh.

Kang Ansheng hesitated for a moment, "You mean Wang Ting?"

"Yes." Elder Dong nodded, "In the eyes of the King, those small and medium-sized tribes can be discarded at any time. They are different from our large tribes."

Kang Ansheng came to his senses and nodded silently.

If the small and medium-sized tribes are disobedient, even if the King of the Grassland in Wangting knows about it, he probably won't even raise his eyebrows.

And if these large tribes were disobedient, they would be silently marked down by the Prairie King in his heart.

"So other tribes can go and leave, but we must not leave Benlu before we receive the king's order."

Hey.

Kang Ansheng let out a long sigh, "That's what I said. But if we don't leave here, the brothers will almost have nothing to eat."

In the past, most of the horse chews eaten by the grassland army were borne and transported by small and medium-sized tribes.

Nowadays, most of the small and medium-sized tribes are exterminated and left.

Their 5 horses were about to run out of food.

"This is indeed a problem." Elder Dong couldn't help but frowned.

The soldiers must not be on an empty stomach.

But they couldn't leave, and no one brought food.

Even if Angel's hometown sends someone to deliver food, not to mention the long distance, and the Blood Moon tribe, who knows what will happen then.

"Associate clan, how many cattle and sheep are there in Benlu?" Elder Dong asked.

"Ben deer?" Kang Ansheng smiled wryly, "There should be few of them left."

The grassland army has been stationed in Benlu for more than four years. At the beginning, Benlu kept a lot of livestock as before.

However, as more and more people were stationed nearby, some tribes did not have enough food, so they recruited Benlu.

At the beginning, the other party said they would pay them back, but the more they charged, the more and more they gradually lost their interest.

After a long time, almost all the livestock in Ben Lu's hands were expropriated.They couldn't hold on any longer, so they could only ask the Blood Moon patriarch who was stationed in the tribe at that time for help.

Xueyue Zhiyong is a person who does big things, why would he care about these trivial things?

He casually pushed it to his subordinates, and his subordinates pushed it to his subordinates...

Finally let it go.

"Less is less, there will always be some." Elder Dong pondered, "Let them hand it over first, at worst we will pay him back twice."

"However," he added, "it is the most important thing for the patriarch to report to the royal court as soon as possible."

Kang Ansheng nodded in agreement, "Indeed."

After all, they have nearly [-] mouths, and the daily consumption alone is a bottomless pit.

Only Wang Ting gave an order, either let them withdraw as soon as possible, or send food over.

At that time, unless Xueyue Zhiyong wants to rebel, the Bloodyue tribe will obediently get out of the way no matter how angry they are, and even arrange board and lodging for them.

The news of Angel's call for food quickly reached the ears of the Benlu Patriarch.

The little patriarch almost vomited blood, "Squeeze again?"

After sending away Angel's envoy, he couldn't help but curse, "What are we supposed to squeeze?"

The livestock that Benlu can keep until now are almost all cubs with little meat or pregnant cows and sheep.

If even they are killed and eaten, then Benlu will eat grass in the future.

The house leak happened on a rainy night.

It didn't take long for someone to rush in.

"Patriarch, more than a dozen families of Huolang and Qingyou left last night with a dozen cattle and sheep."

"Oh?" The little patriarch was upset and didn't react at all, "Where are they going?"

"Patriarch," the man saw that the patriarch didn't care, so he had to confess frankly: "They are leaving the clan and don't plan to come back!"

In fact, since the Eastern Expedition began to fail, some people quietly left the Benlu tribe after a long time, and they have never been seen since then.

Patriarch Benlu finally came to his senses, and suddenly felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

He sat in a daze for a while before asking, "How many people do we have now?"

"Patriarch Hui, the news of the defeat on the front line came back half a month ago, and there are less than 2 people in the clan."

Patriarch Benlu's mouth was even more bitter.

When Lao Kailun was broken up, they went from more than 2 to over [-], and there were countless cattle, sheep and other livestock.

Later, when the war broke out, Benlu can be said to be able to contribute his strength.

As a result, the number of people in the tribe is not only reduced by more than half compared to before, but the livestock they depend on for survival is almost eaten up.

Even the few remaining seeds of cattle and sheep will be recruited...

Hey.

He let out a long sigh, "If this continues, we will soon be wiped out."

----

Blood Moon settlement.

Tapping.

Several skinny horses came galloping from the north.

"Who is it?" The sentinel spotted them from a distance, and hurriedly shouted out to stop them.

When the two sides entered the range of the bow and arrow, Xueyue Yingxiang raised his head with a tired face, "It's me."

"Young patriarch?" The sentries exclaimed, and quickly put down their bows and arrows to lead the way.

"Young patriarch, the situation of the tribe is serious recently. And our city wall has not been built, so the patriarch ordered us to set up some traps around the periphery. Please follow us to avoid triggering the trap."

After finishing speaking, they looked hesitantly at the few people behind Xueyue Yingxiang.

Although my heart was full of doubts, I opened my mouth, but nothing came out.

Xueyue Yingxiang nodded to express his understanding and ignored the sentry.

He turned his head and looked at the guards who escorted him back with emotion.

"I'm home. Go back and have a good rest first, let's talk about the rest."

"Yes!" Several people reluctantly opened their blood-red eyes and drove their horses to follow.
