National color raw owl

At this time, Chu Huan finally understood why everyone in the Golden Roof Tent, including Mahazang, had such solemn expressions, and also understood why some people had worried expressions in their eyes. <.. ..>

Even without the Zhula tribe attacking from the south, the Gulaqin Grassland would have been very difficult just to deal with Mahara's army. Now the Zhula tribe is brazenly gathering troops and horses, preparing to encircle them from the south. The situation is already quite severe.

"What is the Eldest Prince going to do?" There was silence in the big tent. After a while, Chu Huan finally asked softly: "There are two sides to attack, and it is difficult to take care of the first and the last. Naturally, the Elder Prince has already made arrangements."

Mahazang sat on the chair and remained silent. Sohabu Yuanji finally clenched his fists and said, "So what if the Zhula tribe is attacking? Once upon a time, our warriors in the Gulaqin Grassland killed the people who drank by the river and wept." Father and mother, coming here this time is just a replay of the original scene. Our ancestors were able to frighten the Zhula tribe, so naturally we can too!"

Chu Huan wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after all.

Maha Zang said: "Brother Chu, this is a critical moment, if you have any suggestions, please bring them up."

"Prince, you are welcome." Chu Huan shook his head and said, "This is a war on your grassland. After all, I am from Qin. If I get involved, I'm afraid...!"

Maha Zang said solemnly: "Brother Chu forgot, you are not only an envoy of the Qin Kingdom, but also the son-in-law of our Jinnashi family. Your wife Qiluo is from Xiliang."

Chu Huan was taken aback, Shi Boguli glanced at Chu Huan, frowned slightly, but did not say anything after all.

At this moment, a report came from outside the tent, and Shiboguli asked someone to come in, and the person reported: "Report to the eldest prince and patriarch, the Turqi tribe betrayed Gulaqin and went to the northeast."

"What?" Everyone present was taken aback. Shiboguli rushed over, picked up the man, and shouted angrily, "What did you say, Turki betrayed us?"

That human said: "The Vagashi tribe has just assembled here, and the leader of the Vagashi clan is waiting outside!"

"Let him in."

Soon, a middle-aged man in his 40s came in and knelt down on the ground: "Tugula, the patriarch of the Bronze Vaghanxi tribe, sees the king, and sees the patriarchs!"

"Tugla, the Turqi tribe betrayed us, is it true?" Shibogul's eyes were open.

Tugula said solemnly: "To the patriarch, Turqi Mijin ordered the bronze tribes to gather, claiming that it was ordered by the patriarch and the chief officer, and our army was summoned by the patriarch, but there was another order saying , not only the men, men, women, old and young, and all the livestock in the clan must go to Turki to gather.\\..\\The little one felt that something was wrong, but still did as they said, and secretly sent people to inquire and get the news , Turqimijin assembled his troops, not to come to the Nashi tribe, but to take all the people and livestock to join Mahara."

All the other people in the tent were furious, but Maha Zang looked very calm and asked, "Have they left?"

"When I heard the news, I led my people over here quickly. After Turqi Mijin knew about it, he sent a team to chase after him, but they were repelled by the warriors from the Raiding Division." Tugula said. Seriously said: "Later I sent someone to investigate quietly, and Turqi Mijin had already taken most of his troops to the northeast. Of the thirteen bronze tribes, only my tribe came here, and the others followed suit. Erqi Mijin left."

Shiboguli shot out anger in his eyes, and said angrily: "Turqimijin, the old and cunning old man, he seemed to be extremely loyal before, who knew that he would betray us at this time!"

But Maha Zang said: "Don't be annoyed, only at this time will you know who your true friends are." He calmly said to Chu Huan: "There are five Baiyin tribes under the Shi tribe, and the Turqi tribe is one of them. One, now that he has taken all his subordinates away, our strength has become a little weaker."

That Shiboguli turned around, crossed his arms across his chest, and said apologetically, "Prince, this is a disgrace to our Gulaqin Grassland, and it is also my Shiboguli's incompetence. Please punish me!"

Maha Zang waved his hand and said: "Uncle, don't blame yourself. Everyone has his own ambitions. Since Turqi Mijin is willing to follow Mahara, let him follow." Fight, now that the Gulaqin Grassland has betrayed a silver tribe, Ruo Maha Zang's strength will be greatly weakened, but Maha Zang still maintains a calm attitude at this moment. Chu Huan sees it in his eyes, but thinks that Maha Zang Zang really has a somewhat immobile temperament.

Na Shiboguli said: "Prince, I will gather all the troops, catch up with Turqi Mijin, and kill all those traitors."

"Don't lose the big because of small things." Maha Zang shook his head and said: "It is absolutely impossible to disrupt our deployment for a tribe of Turqi." Staring at the map, he finally said: "Two sides attack, with our strength , unable to confront directly, can only temporarily retreat."

"Retire?" Everyone in the tent was stunned, this battle was not fought, why did Maha Zang think of the word "retire".

Chu Huan nodded slightly when he heard the words, but agreed with Maha Zang's meaning.

Knowing that the tiger and wolf are in the front and their strength is weak, but to fight head-on with them, that is the courage of a man, and self-destruction, Chu Huan was also thinking that he should avoid the edge for the time being.

"Prince, where shall we retreat?"

Maha Zang was patrolling the map, and Chu Huan was also searching on the map at this time. Moha Zang looked at it for a while, then raised his head and asked Chu Huan, "Brother Chu, where do you think we should retreat?"

Chu Huan smiled, but said: "Everything is up to the eldest prince to decide!"

Seeing Chu Huan's calm expression, Maha Zang felt that Chu Huan seemed to have some calculations in his heart. He looked at Chu Huan and said, "Brother Chu, once we defeat Mahara this time, I, Maha Zang, will definitely thank you very much. As long as you want to What I want, I, Maha Tsang, can take it out, and I will definitely give it to you generously. (."

Chu Huan hurriedly said: "The eldest prince misunderstood, and Chu has absolutely no intention of doing so. It's just that this matter concerns the eldest prince and even the fate of Xiliang. Chu Huan is just an outsider, so even if he has any ideas, he can't say anything!"

But Moha Zang had already stood up, took Chu Huan's arm, and walked outside the tent. Everyone didn't understand what they meant for a while, and followed outside the tent, but Maha Zang had already raised his finger to the sky and said: "Heaven is above, today is the day." ri, I, Maha Zang, want to become good brothers with Chu Huan, and under the witness of the heavens, I am willing to stay with Chu Huan's blood and never lose each other!" Loudly: "Bring the bowl!"

Immediately someone fetched the porcelain bowl, and Moha Zang had already pulled out the saber from his waist. Before everyone could react, the sharp blade had already cut his wrist. By the time Maha Zang had already put his wrist against the porcelain bowl, blood dripped down, looked at Chu Huan, and asked: "Brother Chu, I, Maha Zang, sincerely want to become brothers of life and death with you, would you like to be with me?" Be a life and death brother who will never bear you!" At this moment, his face was solemn and sincere.

Maha Zang's actions came so suddenly that Chu Huan didn't recover for a while.

He knew that Maha Zang had a good impression of him. When Maha Zang was in Daqin, he helped him twice, but he didn't expect that Maha Zang would suddenly become a brother with him today.

Moha Zang did something unexpectedly. Although Chu Huan's mental quality is not weak, he was a little dazed for a while. Seeing that everyone around him was also looking at him with surprised eyes, Chu Huan frowned slightly, but Maha Zang He let the blood drip into the bowl, stared into Chu Huan's eyes, and asked, "Brother Chu, do you despise me?"

Seeing the blood dripping from his wrist quickly, Chu Huan said with a wry smile, "Prince, you... what are you doing?"

"Maha Zang has always done things happily." Maha Zang said solemnly: "I originally wanted to wait until Mahara was pacified, and then sworn brothers with you, but you always treat yourself as an outsider, I have to do this!" Handing the knife in his hand to Chu Huan, he asked again: "Would you like to become a brother with me, a reckless man from Xiliang, Brother Chu chooses for himself!"

Chu Huan pondered for a while, but finally smiled helplessly. He took the scimitar and cut his own wrist. The two wrists touched each other. The blood of the two fell into a porcelain bowl. Soon, rubbing He Zang laughed loudly, and withdrew his hand, someone beside him had already come up to apply medicine and bandages, and Moha Zang had already shouted: "Pour the wine!"

Chu Huan withdrew his hand, and someone beside him came forward to help apply the medicine and bandage. Someone stepped forward and got half a bowl of spirits in the blood bowl. The spirits and blood were mixed together, and there was a rainbow. Halfway through, he wiped the corner of his mouth and handed the wine bowl to Chu Huan. Chu Huan had no choice but to take it, and after drinking the rest of the blood wine, Moha Zang hugged Chu Huan. He was taller than Chu Huan You have to be too tall and strong, hugged Chu Huan and patted Chu Huan's back vigorously, and then said to the people around: "God is above, everyone can see that from now on, Chu Huan is the life and death of my Maha Zang Brothers, never lose each other!"

The expressions of all the Xiliang people around were wonderful. No one would have thought that the eldest prince would have an additional sworn brother in a daze, and this sworn brother was actually from the Central Plains. No matter what he thought in his heart, he could only salute Chu Huan with his arms crossed. .

Shiboguli finally said: "Eldest Prince, the military situation is urgent, how to arrange it, please give instructions to the Eldest Prince!"

Maha Zang asked Chu Huan: "My good brother, you just looked at the map, how do you think we should retreat?"

Chu Huan hesitated for a moment, thinking of Maha Zang's claim that he would never owe each other, his attitude seemed very sincere, and he didn't know what Maha Zang was thinking, but since he was a sworn brother, he would ask Maha Zang not to marry him in this capacity in the future. Invade Daqin, but I don't know if Mahazang will agree?

However, just as Shiboguli said, the current military situation is urgent, and if he wants to ask for Maha Zang in the future, he can put forward some opinions of his own right now and give Maha Zang some help.

He turned around and entered the tent, and everyone followed in. When he walked to the case, Chu Huan pointed to a place in the west of the Gulaqin Grassland on the map and said, "Prince, this seems to be a mountain!"

"That's Montenegro!" Naspergulli said aside, "But it's just a few bare hills, which can't be used as a natural barrier."

"Looking at the Gulaqin Grassland, it seems that there are not many places that can be used as barriers." Chu Huan said slowly: "Although this is a piece of dirt, it is the only place that can be used now. Of course... if If we really want to talk about barriers, before the Zhula tribe in the south blocks the retreat, we can retreat to the big desert, and Mahara’s cavalry will lose their advantage in the desert.”

"Great desert?" Nashiboguli sneered, "Mahara's army will not pose much threat to us in the great desert, but without Mahara's action, we will die in the great desert."

"Then it can only be this Montenegro." Chu Huan said calmly, "Mahara's main force is the Tariq Cavalry Legion, plus Babaitu's [-] cavalry, who really pose a fatal threat to us. These two cavalry legions are fighting on the flat grassland, and the eldest prince has very little hope of winning." Pointing to the Black Mountain on the map, he said: "Under the current situation, this Black Mountain is really given to the eldest prince by God. Your Majesty Look, Prince, this Montenegro is not connected together, but undulates into three places, that is to say, there are three points, forming a character shape. The main mountain in the middle and the horned mountains on both sides are just suitable for defense. This Montenegro It doesn’t need to be steep, as long as the Black Mountain is occupied, it will be difficult for the cavalry to give full play to its advantages...!” At this point, he paused, thoughtful.

But Moha Zang said anxiously: "Brother Chu, continue talking."

Chu Huan looked around and saw that everyone was looking at him, and then said: "Prince, if you have enough troops, you can station troops on the three mountains, unless Mahara is willing to let his The army was surrounded by three groups of people as dumplings... Well, if nothing unexpected, his soldiers and horses will be divided into three groups!"

"Why should it be divided into three ways?" Nashi Boguli couldn't help asking.

He didn't have a good impression of Chu Huan at first, but at this moment, he faintly felt that what Chu Huan said seemed to give some clues to the strategy to deal with Mahara, so he couldn't help but listen attentively.

Wars between grassland tribes are usually a competition of hard power. Although there are methods such as surprise attacks, for the Xiliang people, the most common method of warfare is head-on confrontation. It is not like the people of the Central Plains who use military deceitfulness, ambushes, and sneak attacks , detours, false surrenders and other means take turns to battle. In fact, the grassland people are all self-proclaimed warriors. Facing the enemy, most of them rush forward without hesitation, fearless of death. Although there are not no people who are proficient in the art of war in Xiliang, they are very few.

Although Shiboguli is capable and brave, but when it comes to the way of using troops, it is really superficial. At this time, I heard Chu Huan's claim that Mahara's army would be divided into three groups. I couldn't understand it for a while, and couldn't help it. ask.

Chu Huan said: "Chief, the ultimate purpose of Mahara's sending troops this time is for the eldest prince."

Maha Zang said: "Being able to capture me alive is naturally what he wants to do the most. Otherwise, if he gets my body, I don't think he will be disappointed."

"So in Montenegro we distribute our forces on the three hills. If each hill is marked with the prince's general flag, Mahara is eager to capture the prince, and he will definitely not let any hill go." Chu Huan fingertips on the three hills Swipe across: "He has to divide his troops into three groups. Although the three hills of the Black Mountain are not far away, it is enough for Mahara's army to be divided into three parts, forming three independent battlefields."

Moha Zang nodded slightly, and said: "You mean, you want to use Black Mountain to resist Mahara?"

"Compared to other places in the Gulaqin Grassland, this should be the only place where we can use it to resist Mahara's army, and it is even the place where the eldest prince may turn defeat into victory." Chu Huan said solemnly.
