Chapter 2193 Set off to return
Nearly a month has passed, and time has come to the spring of the fourth year of Taichu in the Great Long Calendar.
The severe cold has passed, replaced by warm spring breezes. Everything is recovering little by little, and it won't be long before you can see the scene of spring.
Beneath the beautiful scenery lies murderous intent.
There is renewed murderous intent at the northern border, and a new round of war is about to break out.
In the Wuguan meeting hall, an old man sat in front of Chen Yue anxiously, his expression somewhat unnatural.
Heshuo Bahu, the leader of the Heshuo clan who turned against him last year.
His son Heshuolie followed Tielong to the grassland first. The old man was seriously injured and almost died in the battle, so he stayed in Wuguan. Also staying with him were more than five thousand members of the Heshuo clan.
soldiers.
These Heshuo tribesmen were really touched by the fact that the Liang army provided them with shelter, food, and treatment for their injuries.
Firstly, it was because the old man had been treating his injuries, and secondly, Chenyue was really busy, so it was the first time for Heshuoba Hu to see Chenyue after being in the pass for so long.
The old man felt a sigh of relief in his heart. Once upon a time, breaking through Wuguan and defeating Chenyue was the biggest goal of their prairie tribe.
How could I have imagined that one day I would sit so peacefully in front of Chen Yue and then inexplicably turn my enemies into friends?
In the eyes of the old man, the King Liang who was over thirty years old in front of him was not young, but he was definitely a person who could influence the situation of the entire world.
He could not imagine how Chenyue, who was born in a poor family and started out as a frontier soldier, could reach his current position step by step. He could not even understand how the Yan State, which boasted millions of soldiers and generals, could not conquer a mere Wuguan.
Unbelievable~
The old man felt a little uneasy. After all, the two sides were once mortal enemies. In addition, the last time they defected before the battle, not only did they fail to defeat the Yan army, but they actually caused the Liang army to lose a lot of troops.
If Prince Liang is in a bad mood, he won't settle an old score with him, right?
"Haha, old patriarch, don't be nervous."
Chenyue smiled and said, "I asked the Heshuo clan leader to come here today because there is news inside the grassland, and I just want to discuss it with you."
"Is there any news? How are the clan members doing?"
Heshuo Bahu suddenly became a little worried.
Because since He Shuolie and Tie Long returned, no news has come back.
Was the Heshuo clan massacred by the Yan people? Will his son be killed by the Yan people? All of this is unknown. For so many days, the old man could not sleep well every night.
"Don't worry, old patriarch, it's good news."
Chenyue said softly:
"General Tie and your son rushed back in time, evacuated the tribesmen before the Yan army arrived, and moved them to a hidden place. It seems to be safe for now.
The two of them only sent the message to us after they had settled down the clan members, so we never believed it."
Tie Long and He Shuo Lie returned to the grassland and traveled day and night. As soon as they returned to the Heshuo tribe, they asked the tribesmen to pack lightly and leave quickly.
The day after they left, the Yan army's horses arrived outside the camp. The empty camp made the soldiers of the five tribes very angry.
"Huh~ That's good~"
The old man's face became much more relaxed, and the big stone in his heart finally let go.
Xue Tian said with a hint of apology:
"Although the clan members have withdrawn, the ancestral homeland of the Heshuo clan has been completely occupied by the Yan people, and they will definitely not be able to return for a while.
For a long time in the future, your people will have to live in barren lands. We and General Tie will try our best to ensure the supply of daily necessities."
The grassland is vast, with a radius of several thousand miles. Although the Muyun clan nominally rules the grassland, they really cannot control all the land.
Some barren areas in corners were still the blind areas of the Yan people's rule, so Tielong moved the Heshuo clan here.
As long as they avoid going out and making public appearances, it will still be difficult for the Yan army to discover them.
"Sigh, we have come to this point, do we still want to live a good life? I am very content to be able to save the lives of my people."
Heshuo Bahu saluted respectfully and said: "I am very grateful to the prince for everything he has done for the Heshuo family. I have nothing to repay, so I can only entrust my life to Liang Jun.
From now on, let the prince do whatever you want!"
The old man thought very clearly that from the moment he decided to resist the Muyun clan, he was on the same side as Liang Jun, and the only thing he could do with Yan Jun was fight to the death.
Without Liang Jun, the Heshuo clan is destined to leave nothing behind.
"The old patriarch's words are completely out of context." Chen Yue said calmly:
"Let's not talk about the past. From now on, we will fight side by side and fight against Yan together!"
"good!"
Heshuo Bahu nodded excitedly.
Chenyue continued: "I'm going to see the clan leader today. I have another matter to discuss with you."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"Although the Heshuo clan has moved to a safe place, all the young and strong soldiers in the clan have followed the old clan leader on the expedition, and they lack protection.
It’s not a problem that the private soldiers of the Wugan Heshuo tribe have been stationed in Wuguan. According to my king’s wishes, perhaps the old patriarch can return to the grassland.”
Before the old man could say anything, Chen Yue chuckled and said:
"Old patriarch, don't get me wrong. I am not driving you away. I just think these soldiers will be more useful in the grassland."
"I understand!"
Heshuo Bahu was not an unreasonable person: "We will do whatever the prince tells us to do. It just so happens that the soldiers are also homesick. It would be better to go back and guard.
But now that Liang and Yan are fighting, the Yan army is surrounded by eyes and ears outside Wuguan. How can a few soldiers and horses pass through the battlefield quietly?"
Don't be surrounded and annihilated by the Yan army as soon as you leave the customs.
"Haha, don't worry, this old patriarch."
Xue Tian chuckled and said: "We have guarded the border for so many years, there must be a secret way out of the border.
At that time, the old patriarch will divide his soldiers into small groups of a hundred people, sneak out quietly, and wait until they reach the outside of the pass to regroup."
"That's it." Heshuo Bahu responded: "That's no problem. I'll go ahead and take care of the division of troops."
Heshuo Bahu has led troops for so many years. Isn't it easy to arrange these things?
"good."
Chenyue said:
"Then the old patriarch will set off in the next few days. We will prepare the dry food needed on the way.
When you arrive at the grassland, someone will naturally contact you, and then follow them to the hiding place of the Heshuo clan.
Of course, the road ahead is mainly up to you to walk on your own, and we won't interfere.
When the day comes to overthrow the Yan State, military orders will be sent to you.
Please wait patiently!”
Tielong, Heshuo Bahu, and Heshuo Lie, these people are the nails driven into the grassland by Chenyue. They seem useless now, but one day they will give the Yan people a fatal blow from behind.
By then Muyun Canglan would know how fragile the grassland he unified was.
"good"
Heshuo Bahu nodded heavily:
Chapter completed!
