"ah!"

Hong Ah Liu stepped on the air and saw a small trap on the ground. Several bamboo thorns had penetrated deeply into his calf, and he couldn't help but scream.

"Silence." Xiong Shan shouted in a low voice and took some medicine to bandage Hong Ah Liu.

Xiong Shan was good at walking on mountain roads, and he had been to Dali State, so he took a few Yi soldiers at the front to explore the road.

He didn't notice this little trap just now.

"General Bai, what should I do if my foot delays our march?"

"The big fart hurts a lot, why are you so long-winded?" Xiong Shan said, feeling rather annoyed because he didn't see the trap, but his face didn't show it.

"General Bai, we found a few traps ahead, which are used for hunting."

"It seems that we have reached the territory of the Luo Po tribe."

Xiong Shan grabbed Hong Aliu, threw him on the horse, and said: "Yang Ben, hold the horse."

The next moment, a sharp whistle was heard ahead, and the mountain people surrounded them with bows, arrows and spears...

The Luo Po Tribe arose during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. When the Duan family established the Dali Kingdom, they borrowed troops from the Thirty-Seven Tribes in Eastern Yunnan. At that time, the Luo Po Tribe was the most powerful and was known as the "Xiongguan Thirty-Seven Tribes". It was considered a hereditary prince of the Dali Kingdom.

The current leader of the Luo Po tribe is named "Yige", and he can be regarded as a heroic figure in Dali.

After Gao Taixiang's death, Duan Xingzhi surrendered, but Yege did not return to Mongolia until last year, and was named "Luo Po Wan Hu Hou", also a world leader.

In Yege's view, he was extremely benevolent and righteous towards the Duan and Gao families. He helped them build their country and defended their territory. Now that the situation is over, the people still want to survive, so surrendering to Mongolia is the only option.

Now that he surrendered, Yege was not a duplicitous person. Sarimonk sent people to persuade him to revolt many times, but he sternly refused.

On this day, Yege heard from his tribe that they saw nearly a thousand soldiers and horses at Lion Mountain, and he quickly ordered all the soldiers to surround them.

The mountain forest was densely packed with people. As soon as the two sides came into contact, someone shouted in Yi language: "The Mongolian general is here first! Are your Luopo tribe rebelling?!"

When I heard that the Mongols were coming, I was a little annoyed.

For him, being under Mongolian rule was not much different from before. The only difference was that the Mongols often conscripted troops and paid tribute.

Although compared to other places, the Luo Po tribe was relatively good. After all, it was powerful and located in a deep mountain. The Mongolian people did not treat them too harshly, but Ye Ge also felt a headache every time he saw the Mongolian people.

He walked forward for a while, and when he looked around, he saw that one of the hundreds and nearly a thousand people, a general, was being pushed out. Sure enough, it was the guarding general who he had met twice before.

"General Ye first." Yege called out in jerky Mongolian.

He didn't respond at first, looking blankly ahead, like a fool.

Instead, a young man next to him shouted in Mongolian: "Why are you blocking the way?!"

Yege looked at the young man and saw that he was handsome and had an extraordinary bearing. Judging from his appearance, he was definitely not Mongolian, so he couldn't help but ask: "Who are you?"

"Duan Yanqing is the military judge of the Great Mongol Kingdom. My grandfather is the fourth son of Emperor Shenzong of the old Dali Kingdom..."

This long passage from Yanqing was spoken in Mongolian, and it was very smooth. I had only been learning Mongolian for a few months, so I didn't understand it very well. I had to ask the interpreter next to me, and it took a long time to understand.

"Yes, yes, General Ye Xian, General Duan, are you coming this time?"

Duan Yanqing's face was cold and he said: "General Ye Xian is returning from pursuing the Song army. He wants to return south to Shanchan City. He passes by this place. What's wrong? Can't he pass through the Luo Po tribe?"

"No." Yegemon's English was not very good and he was clumsy. A majestic man looked like a child under Duan Yanqing's questioning.

"Then why don't you let the road go?!"

"Let go now..."

In the middle of Yeige's conversation, a tribesman suddenly came forward and whispered in Yi language: "Chief, they seem to be Han people."

While talking, this citizen pointed to Xiongshan, Hong Aliu and the others, and said, "I just heard them talking, they sounded like Han people."

Yege squinted his eyes and looked at Ye Xian's dull face again, feeling that something was not right.

Observing this team carefully, it is true that most of them look like Han people, and a small part look like Yi people. There seem to be only one or two Mongolians.

Of course, Han people are not necessarily Song people.

Except for the mountain people of various tribes, the appearance of most people in Dali is actually the same as that of the people of the Song Dynasty.

For example, the ancestors of the Gao family and the Dong family are all Han Chinese, while the Duan family is a surname from the Central Plains and a prominent family in Liangzhou. It is a descendant of Duan Zhen, the prefect of Wuwei in the Han Dynasty. It originated from Gongshu Duan, the youngest son of Zheng Wugong in the Spring and Autumn Period, and was a serious branch of the Zhou family.

But it would be too strange to march first, all with Duan's soldiers.

Ye Ge became suspicious and asked Ye Xian: "General guard, do you want to go to the stronghold in front to have a rest?"

He didn't speak either.

In an instant, Ye Ge became alert and couldn't help but take a step back.

Huhu held the bow.

He had a very keen sense and realized that the mountain people of the Luo Po tribe were already on guard.

A "crack" sound can be heard in the surrounding area, which is the sound of the bow string being pulled apart.

Suddenly, someone screamed "Ouch".

Following this shout, Luhu trembled and almost wanted to kill him.

But when he turned around, he saw Yang Ben whipping Hong Aliu several times with a spear and yelling a few curses in Mongolian.

"What is he scolding?" Yege asked the interpreter.

"He said... If you still want to get on the horse, if you still want to get on the horse, I'll beat you to death."

Yege nodded, and with the little Mongolian he knew, it sounded like that was indeed the case.

It's this style that makes it look like an army led by the Mongols. Presumably the one who can speak Mongolian is a Duan soldier who is beating the captured Song soldiers.

With this thought in mind, Ye Ge looked at Ye Xian again, only to see that it was Duan Yanqing who spoke.

"The general is in a hurry and won't stop. Get a hundred shi of food out immediately!"

After hearing these words, Ye Ge's previous feeling that something was wrong finally dissipated a lot.

This is right. When the Mongolian generals come, how can they not collect food?

But Ye Ge still had some doubts in his heart, so he raised his hand and said, "General Duan, please follow me to get the food."

This is a temptation.

But Duan Yanqing didn't care. He only took two people with him and walked up to Yege and said, "Let's go."

…

He also led the large group of troops ahead, with Duan Yanqing and Ye Ge walking behind.

Along the way, Ye Ge was testing things, but he saw that Duan Yanqing was familiar with the customs and customs of Dali and Mongolia. He behaved openly and showed the style of a noble family.

"General Duan, let me ask you a question. General Ye Xian looks a little..."

"He is injured." Duan Yanqing said, "I only told the leader about this matter. In fact, General Xian was defeated at the hands of the Song Army this time and escaped alone. Therefore, I was the only one with a thousand-man team to escort him back.

Good explanation."

"Failed?" Yege was very surprised and asked, "How could it be defeated?"

"The Song general was called 'Li Xia'. He was very hateful and did not dare to face the enemy directly. He planned to lure the general into the valley and let the Wusa tribe ambush all the troops. The general fought hard and finally got away. Because the Song army

They were pursued from the Momi tribe. The general had no choice but to flee into the Niulanjiang Valley."

"No wonder it appears here." Yege asked again: "That general?"

"At that time, I was near the Kedu River with General Yang Yuan. To be honest... I was also washed away and did not dare to escape with General Yang, so I fled into the mountains to the north and happened to save General Ye Xian. Unfortunately, General Ye Xian

He hurt his head and suffered from apathy."

"No wonder."

Ye Ge learned the reason and finally ordered the troops to cross the border.

Duan Yanqing received another hundred shi of grain and ordered his subordinates to carry the grain with them. He stayed in the team to say goodbye to Yege at the end.

"General Duan, goodbye."

Duan Yanqing smiled and suddenly said: "When Emperor Taizu was in eastern Yunnan, he reduced taxes by half and exempted labor for three years. Folks said, 'Wherever cattle and horses are herded, and wherever cocks and dogs bark, Duan is the king.

', so you have the support of the Luo Po tribe. How serious is the Mongol Empire's attack on your Luo Po tribe now?"

Yege was stunned and said: "What does this mean?"

"Nothing else." Duan Yanqing said calmly: "The Great Mongolia is unstoppable today. You surrendered with the trend. It can be said that you understand the righteousness and have made great contributions to the stability of the people and the unification of the family and the country."

He didn't respond and just stared at Duan Yanqing's deep eyes.

Duan Yanqing dealt with it calmly and said, "I hope you can always understand justice so deeply."

…

Ye Ge could understand the meaning of Duan Yanqing's words, which meant that if one day, the Duan family regained control of the country and gained momentum, they would give the Luo Po tribe another chance to "surrender".

"Bragging." Yege thought to himself.

But such children of the Duan family also seemed real in his eyes... they followed the Mongols and shouted loudly behind them, but privately they had not forgotten the glory of the Duan family's ancestors who founded the country.

It was not until two days later that Yege received news from someone sent by Yang Yuan, saying that a Song army had captured Ye Xian, defrauded Momi Qianhu's residence, and robbed the temple. He asked the Luo Po tribe to intercept them if they encountered him.

"A person from the Song Dynasty?" Yege was stunned, "How could he be a person from the Song Dynasty?"

"He is from Song Dynasty."
