Wei Wuhou

Chapter 418 On the way home 1
(OK, thank you guys for the monthly pass, it gave me a little more motivation when I was struggling!)
Faced with his father's attitude, Heimu could only nod in agreement, and he also knew very well that they couldn't afford to go through this muddy water.

"Father, shall we go to the next place? Maybe it's been a long time since the Ministry of Confucianism made offerings!" Hei Mu reminded, after all, he couldn't come back empty-handed.

Immediately, Azig said, "What are you going to do? Hurry up and go back to the headquarters. What if those Wei people get to our place, what should we do?"

These words reminded Heimu that although they ruled over the Hanoi grasslands, they were against those small tribes, and the potential enemy now was the Wei army with more than 4000 people.

"Father said yes, then let's go back quickly!" Heimu said, at this moment it seemed a bit urgent.

Immediately afterwards, Azig ordered his subordinates to return quickly, and once again looked at the dilapidated Naiti Department, he even felt a chill in his heart.

"This matter is definitely not that simple. I see that the grassland is about to change!" Azig said disappointedly.

Kuroki was also silent at this time, in fact he also felt this way.

The Huns are fighting hard, and they haven't made any big moves for a few years, but now they are definitely going to make big moves.And now that the Wei people have begun to intervene, will there still be peace in this grassland?
…………

Another three days passed in a blink of an eye!

During these three days, Wei Wuji met two more small tribes, and wiped them out without accident.

Although these two tribes are stronger than the Naiti tribe, they are really strong and pitiful. They were still overwhelmed by the two military lords, and a cat-and-mouse game was staged afterwards.

Now, Wei Wuji has harvested a large number of cattle, sheep and horses, and after a rough estimate, it will be enough to support the army's salary until next year.

What's more, the matter is not that simple. This time Wei Wuji finally broke out in character. On a small hill on the grassland, he discovered a large-scale iron ore.

Originally, most people dismissed the dark stones on the mountain, but Wei Wuji was surprised and went to have a look.

Then he felt strange, at first he thought that it might be made of coal, even if it was like this, Wei Wuji would feel that he had made a profit, so that he would not be afraid of the cold on the grassland.

But after I took the fire to burn it, I found that it didn't burn at all...

So what does this mean?The black stone made Wei Wuji quickly think of iron ore.And when he recalled it again, he remembered that there were indeed such stones in the blacksmith's shop.

Such a discovery made Wei Wuji very excited, because he had just encountered the problem of iron ore scarcity, and God helped him.

The only troublesome thing is that although this iron ore is unowned, it is on the grassland and it is difficult to mine effectively unless Wei Wuji can control the Hanoi grassland.

But once the problem developed to this point, another place became prominent, and that was Guihua City standing on the grassland.

Only by relying on the stronghold of Guihua City can he, Wei Wuji, control the grassland, and this also coincides with his original plan.

At this time, Wei Wuji felt a little regretful, he shouldn't have killed all the people from these tribes, if they stayed for him to mine, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds.

But fortunately, after being baptized by blood, these soldiers have undergone another transformation, and have taken another crucial step on the road to a strong army.

Therefore, Wei Wuji immediately decided to return.Of course, his so-called return was just not moving forward, he was detoured to Guihua City, and then returned to the Great Wall.

But this place was marked down by him, and he wanted to occupy this place in the future, and then he would use steel to build a strong army.

It's just that Wei Wuji didn't know that the route he took was exactly where the Iron Forest Department was located.

…………

Because they slowed down their horses, Wei Wuji and the others walked for a day without encountering anything.In fact, cavalry in combat cannot advance at full speed when they are marching in peacetime, unless you can guarantee that they will not encounter enemies on the road.

When the sun went down, they were more than 200 miles away from the people of Guihua City based on their rough location, which was two to three days away.

But at this time, they were very close to the Iron Forest Department, because this was the newly moved tribe of the Iron Forest Department, so the guide didn't know about it.

At this moment, when the whole army stopped to prepare to set up camp, they saw dozens of war horses galloping ahead.

Moreover, when Wei Wuji took a closer look, he also found that it was a dozen people behind who were chasing and killing the one in front.

This is interesting, and the person who came here has not found himself yet, after all, the sky has already dimmed, and it is pitch black everywhere.

But even if those people chase after them, they will definitely be found. In this case, Wei Wuji of course chose to strike first.

So he ordered his guards to take down all the dozen or so people, regardless of life or death.

Wei Wuji's guards were carefully selected, absolutely elite... Taking down those people can be said to be easy.

In less than 3 minutes, the battle was declared over, and only four of the dozen people were arrested, and the rest were all slaughtered.These people looked at Wei Wuji and the others with obvious fear in their eyes. How could they be Wei people?

But the person who was chased before was also brought alive before Wei Wuji, but upon closer inspection he turned out to be a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, two or three years younger than Wei Wuji.

"Who are you?" Chen Zhanyan asked.

Seeing this scene, Wei Wuji laughed, and only heard him say: "Master Chen, don't bother, how can these barbarians understand your words, I think it will be easier to kill them with one knife!"

"Don't kill me!" At this moment, the young man who was tied up at the front spoke, and what he said was exactly the words of the Central Plains.

Although the pronunciation is not standard, it can still be heard clearly, which made Wei Wuji even more interested.

He only heard him ask: "Who are you, how can you speak the words of my Central Plains?"

The young man stood up and said rather conceitedly: "I am of the blood of the Donghu royal family, so I can naturally speak the Central Plains dialect!"

This made Wei Wuji surprised again, a member of the Donghu royal family?How come here?So Wei Wuji said, "Don't all Donghu people live on the Golmud Grassland, how could there be a royal family like you here?"

The young man explained: "I went out to play with my sister, but I never expected to be taken away by the despicable Iron Forest Department. They want to detain us!"

Speaking of this, the boy couldn't help crying and said: "Although I rushed out, my sister was left there!"

In fact, Wei Wuji frowned upon hearing this, as the matter inside seemed to be more complicated.

"The Iron Forest Department is a vassal of your Donghu, so how could they be disrespectful to you?" Wei Wuji asked.

The young man couldn't help looking at Wei Wuji, secretly thinking that this Wei man is careful.

"This Tielin Department is rebellious. I'm afraid they want to kidnap my siblings and return them to the Huns!" The young man who claimed to be the Donghu royal family explained.

Wei Wuji glanced at him, and then said: "You said that the Iron Forest Department is around here?"

This news is undoubtedly more precious. It turns out that he has entered the sphere of influence of the Iron Forest Department without knowing it.
