Chapter 891 The Last Words of the High Priest
In Yinping City.

In a small frontier city, even if you scrape the ground three feet, you can't find much food. The biggest food problem for the Qiang army is still a big problem. This problem alone is enough to shake the army's morale.

Yue Hu looked a little haggard, escaped for several days, not only the soldiers were exhausted, even he was also tense.

If it weren't for the high priest's arrangements earlier.

When the army was going deep, they sent people to sneak into Yinping first, waited for their army to retreat outside Yinping City, and then cooperated from inside and outside to capture Yinping City. Now they probably don't even have a chance to take a break.

But the Yin soldiers are too small, and they can't last long at all. If they continue to stand firm in the city, even if they don't attack the outskirts of the city, the energy consumption will kill them.

But seeing that the surrounding area has been surrounded tightly, he has no chance to break out of the encirclement at all.

"High priest!" Yue Hu called the high priest and asked, "I have already sent elite cavalry to break out and ask Dong Zhuo for help. Dong Zhuo has troops in Xiliang, and he will go south from Wudu and reach Yinping in about seven days at most. , but will Dong Zhuo send troops?"

"will not!"

The high priest raised his head, looked at Yuehu, and said frankly.

"why?"

Yuehu frowned: "Based on the relationship between me and him, it is impossible for him to ignore me, and I am trapped here, he has a great responsibility, if his news is not wrong, how could I rush in so easily..."

"My lord, you and Dong Zhuo are not what they used to be. In the past, you were loyal to each other. He helped you seize the position of leader of the Baima Qiang. He borrowed troops to help him conquer Liangzhou. They formed marriages and complemented each other. It is indeed a different friendship!"

The high priest said: "But now you are the king of the Qiang people, and you must respect the Qiang people's tribe in everything you do. Dong Zhuo, as the imperial court's grand master, naturally puts the interests of the court first. Even if he wants to, he can't send troops!"

Identity represents a position.

The positions are different, even if there is a deep friendship between them, they will decide differently because of their interests.

"Even if it is for the court of Chang'an, it is normal for Dong Zhuo to send troops!"

"No!"

The high priest said: "The Chang'an court is facing internal and external troubles. They will not choose to go south at this time and fight head-on with the Mu army. This is not in their interest. Therefore, even if our entire army is wiped out, the Xiliang army may not be willing to cross the border." reinforce!"

"Dong Zhuo wrote a letter that day, and the purpose of coming was very clear. He joined hands with us to attack Guanghan and seize Yizhou. Didn't he never send troops south from Xiangguo?" Yuehu's face had a stern look.

"The civil strife in Guanghan is a god-given opportunity. He should have the idea of ​​going south to attack Yizhou!"

The high priest thought for a while and said: "But he is suspicious. He is not sure what the civil strife in Guanghan is all about. Sending troops will definitely destroy their current strategic deployment, and they may be fooled. But if you don't send troops, the chance is fleeting. He probably didn't dare to think about it, so he asked our Qiang army to send troops..."

"Is he that our Qiang army tempted him?"

Yuehu's pupils suddenly changed color, bloodshots were running up, and a bloody light flickered, representing the anger in his heart at this moment.

He regards Dong Zhuo as his best brother, an ally who supports each other.

But Dong Zhuo is using him...

"Wang, it's not important to say these things now. It's better to rely on others than ourselves. We still have the strength. We are not completely desperate. There is still a glimmer of hope that we can rush out!"

The high priest said: "The most important thing now is to rush out!"

"It's easier said than done!"

Yuehu gritted his teeth, and said: "Today I have released all the scouts. There are dozens of miles around, they are all the camps of the Mu army. Each camp has laid out the surrounding roads!"

"Impossible!" The high priest frowned: "Should the Mu army not have so many troops in Guanghan?"

"I also know that some camps should be fake and bluffing, but we are not sure which tents are fake and bluffing. If we just hit them head-on, I'm afraid the whole army will be wiped out."

Yue Hu looked out of the window, the sky was blue and white clouds were blooming, but there was a haze in his heart: "From here to Qiangdao City, it is more than a hundred miles away, this will be our lifeline!"

"Wang, there is no way to break out of the siege, it depends on whether the king can be cruel enough!"

The high priest said suddenly.

"Is there a way for the High Priest?" Yuehu's eyes lit up, and he said, "Please tell me, the High Priest, what should I do?"

"They set up tents, real and fake, to seal the encirclement outside the city. We can also do some work on the real and fake tents!" The high priest said, "to lure the enemy all the way, to break through the siege all the way, and divide the troops into two groups." It's hard to distinguish the real from the fake, and then the main force of the Mu army will be diverted away, so that we can escape!"

"The warrior who lured the enemy?"

"On the battlefield, it is inevitable that some people will sacrifice, but for the sake of the Qiang tribe, I believe they are all willing!" said the high priest.

Yue Hu fell silent when he heard the words.

After many years of fighting, he is not an indecisive person, but it is still difficult for him to abandon his soldiers. He was originally just an unloved heir, and he was able to lead Baima Qiang to where he is now, relying on the Qiang army Trust her.

"Who is going to lure the enemy?"

After a while, Yue Hu still made the decision to sacrifice part of the soldiers for the sake of the main force. This is a decision on the battlefield and a choice to maximize profits. As the king of the Qiang people, he cannot hesitate and must make a decision immediately. .

"I!"

The high priest said: "I am the only one who can defend against the enemy, create opportunities for the king, and escape from here!"

"No!"

Yue Hu quickly said: "High Priest, you are the spirit of my Qiang people, I absolutely cannot let you take risks!"

"I can't do it!"

The high priest said: "King, we are in danger now. If I can use my life to win a way for my Qiang tribe to survive, I will die willingly."

Among the Qiang army, apart from Yuehu, who had the most prestige, only the high priest remained.

Relatively speaking, the Qiang army feared the Yuehu, but respected the high priest. The high priest worked for the welfare of the Qiang people every day for ten years, and devoted his whole life to working hard for the lives of the Qiang people.

This respect, looking at the entire Qiang tribe, is only the high priest.

The ability to order the Qiang army to let the Qiang warriors take the initiative to die, and create opportunities for the main force to break through, this person, except for Yuehu, I am afraid that only the high priest can do it.

"no!"

Yue Hu was still unwilling: "The Qiang people cannot do without the high priest, I will kill the high priest and escape!"

"If the Qiang people are missing, anyone will do!"

The high priest said in a low voice: "The only thing that can't be lost is a king. You are the backbone of the Qiang tribe. After all, I am old. Even if I return to Jishi Mountain, I won't live for a few years. I can still serve the Qiang people." It is my luck for the tribe to do a little capture!"

Yue Hu looked at the High Priest and thanked with tears in his eyes: "High Priest, it's all because of Yue Hu's greed and incompetence. He failed to investigate the situation and went deep alone. Fang Luo's current fate has brought the High Priest down!"

The high priest was not very satisfied with her sitting on the Qiang King's position these years, but because she was the strongest, she took the Qiang King's position even more famously in Jishi Mountain.

As the high priest who is unconditionally loyal to King Qiang, he can only be loyal to Yuehu.

He really didn't expect that at the critical moment, the high priest would stand up and act as the most dangerous one to cover his withdrawal.

"The king is the king of the Qiang tribe, and the king can do no wrong!"

The high priest said in a low voice: "This matter is just a small setback. As long as it passes, the king will be more stable in the future and seek benefits for us Qiang people!"

"Definitely!" Yue Hu nodded: "Yue Hu will never forget the meeting of the High Priest!"

"After I leave, the king can choose the position of high priest at his discretion!" The high priest said, "I already have a successor. He is still young and may not have experience in high priest affairs, but he is talented and wise. They are all outstanding, and he has a deep study of Sinology, I suggest that he can inherit the position of high priest, only the high priest who is familiar with the Han people can become the best high priest!"

"Goldo?"

Yuehu squinted his eyes slightly when he heard the words, he naturally knew the high priest's apprentice: "Is that the child that the high priest sent out back then?"

"It's him!"

"He still hates you?"

"Maybe, but as long as he wholeheartedly serves the Qiang tribe, it's worth hating me!" The high priest said, "However, the king will have to guard against him in the future!"

As he said that, a wry smile appeared on the face of the high priest: "In those years, I sent him to the world of the Han people. A Qiang man survived in the world of the Han people. I don't need to worry about how much he suffered and suffered. If you think about it, you can guess that there must be anger in his heart, and his city is getting deeper and deeper, even I can't see him through!"

..............................................................................

………………

Gerdo watched the surroundings carefully outside the camp. It was not until the afternoon that the high priest came out, and he personally stepped forward to help the high priest to come out.

The high priest is not young after all, the long journeys and battles, racking his brains to make suggestions, have already consumed a lot of his physical strength.

"The High Priest!"

Gerdo salutes.

"Back to camp, I have something to tell you!"

The high priest said in a low voice.

Gerdo helped the high priest back to his tent, and the high priest sat down.

"Gerdo, sit down too!"

A rare kindness appeared on the face of the high priest.

Gerdo sat down cross-legged.

"You still hate me in your heart!" The high priest said in a low voice: "I killed your mother, and I sent you to the world of the Han people to suffer."

For a moment, Gerdo's eyes burst out with killing intent.

The killing intent came and went quickly, as if it had never appeared before, Gerdo was still so devout, as if a junior who respected his teacher was listening to the elders' lessons.

"A son of the Qiang people should be happy with kindness and hatred. If he is an enemy, he will kill him, and if he is a friend, he will help him. I used to want to be that kind of person myself, but when I became a high priest, I will learn to listen to God's teachings. En Enmity is not important anymore, only the strength of the Qiang tribe is the mission!"

The high priest said in a low voice: "I killed your mother because she caused Xianling and Shaodang to fight and almost wiped out the Qiang people. Her ambition is too big, so big that even the Qiang people's tribe can't tolerate it!"

"Zero-sum burn first?"

Gerdo finally spoke, and his sarcastic voice echoed: "Wars between the Qiang tribes, fight as soon as they are fought, what has nothing to do with us, she is your wife, how can you do it!"

"Are you still willing to admit that I am your father after all?"

The high priest smiled.

"My father is dead, many years ago!" Gerdo said.

"We are all Qiang people. In fact, we should fight. Maybe it is more in line with the character of the Qiang people. But whether it is you or me, you are more and more like a Han!" The high priest said with a sigh.

"Is there any difference between Qiang people and Han people?" Gerdo asked in a deep voice.

"Have!"

The high priest gazed and said: "Remember, the Qiang people will always be the Qiang people, and the Han people will always be the Han people, and the Han people, never let us Qiang people disappear into history, and our mission is to make the Qiang people The Horde has grown stronger!"

"It's yours, not mine!"

Gerdo said.

"Soon to be yours!"

The corner of the high priest's mouth raised a slight smile, and said: "We are waiting for ten days. If the court does not send troops, the king will be ready to break out. When the time comes, you will follow the king to break out!"

"What about you?" Gerdo frowned.

"I'm afraid that the battle will be too fierce and I won't be able to take care of you. By Wang's side, you will be much safer!"

The high priest rubbed the bridge of his nose and said, "I'm tired, go down!"

"Yes!"

Gerdo's eyes took a deep look at the high priest, as if he wanted to remember his face, and after a while, he turned and left.

"Gerdo, you remember that no matter what time you have to respect the interests of the Qiang tribe, as long as it is for the benefit of the Qiang people, you can do anything, and you can do anything by hook or by crook. I can kill the old chief , you can also betray Yuehu, I don't ask you to be loyal to anyone, as long as you remember, you are a Qiang!"

The voice of the high priest came slowly from behind Gerdo.

"Qiang people?"

Gerdo's footsteps stagnated for a while, and soon became fast, and walked out of the camp without taking two steps.

On April 24th, the Qiang army had already begun to kill horses to satisfy their hunger, but they waited hard, but the soldiers and horses of the court did not show up after all, and the Yuehu was also waiting, becoming completely desperate.

The Qiang army's breakout campaign began.

The Yuehu soldiers were divided into two groups.

Two groups of soldiers and horses broke out from the encirclement along the two directions of the north and the northwest. After the city, Huang Shao's three battalions gathered an army of nearly tens of thousands.

With two thousand soldiers and horses, they forcibly entangled all the main forces of the Yellow Turban Army.

This battle was brutal.

From day to night, and then from night to day, it took a whole day and night to fight before the curtain came to an end. The Qiang people's two thousand soldiers were wiped out, and the Yellow Turban army was also injured.

But at this time, the main force of the other route had already broken through the interception of the Shenlang Camp, and went out of Guanghan...
