Xiliang Prairie, Angel Settlement.
When Tuoba Cheng was sent to sharpen his sword and murderous Blood Moon tribe, another of the Prairie King's right-hand men was also sent to the Angel tribe.
Helianshen sat expressionlessly in the meeting hall, slowly drinking a cup of hot horse milk tea.
"Yougudu," his little guard tutted and looked around.
"Angel is indeed a large tribe. When I first came in, my subordinates glanced at it briefly. The scale, popularity, and city wall around the settlement look no worse than our royal court."
Helianshen nodded silently, his expression a little ugly.
When they were in the royal court, they had heard that the Angel tribe had built a tall and large wall outside the settlement.
As the saying goes, it is better to meet each other than to be famous, so I didn’t pay much attention to it at the time.
Now when he came over and saw it with his own eyes, he was shocked.
Helianshen, the city of Yunchui people, has seen it before.
On the surface, it looks ordinary, but that wall that is not too high can make countless Xiliang tribes suffer defeat.
And Angel is in the hinterland of the grassland, not close to the east, west, north or south. Now they have imitated the Yunchui people and built a high city wall. Who are they trying to defend against?
Is it the Blood Moon tribe in the east or the west...
After a long while, the patriarch An Wenkang hurried in with a few guards.
He was full of apologies.
"Brother Helian, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. The clan happened to be busy with some things, so I'm late. Please forgive me."
Ha ha.
Helianshen laughed and stood up, "It's okay, I just arrived."
He tentatively said: "With a tribe as big as Angel, Chief An must have a lot to worry about. How about you go and do some work first?"
An Wenkang's eyes flashed.
"Actually, it's nothing."
"Isn't the caravan from last year about to go back? Now everyone in the clan is counting what is missing or missing, and is preparing to submit a list when they pass by. I hope that the caravan can bring us some when it returns at the end of the year. return."
"That's it." Helianshen suddenly realized.
Xiliang is barren, lacking all kinds of materials except cattle, sheep and horses.
For more than three years, no caravans have passed by, and there are already countless missing items from all races.
Now that a caravan has finally passed by, the tribes along the way really need to be taken seriously.
After asking about the reason, the two parties sat down and exchanged business memories and compliments as was customary.
During this period, Angel's elders and elders came in from time to time and cooed in An Wenkang's ears, repeatedly interrupting the conversation between the two.
Helianshen couldn't help laughing when he saw this.
"Clan Leader An does seem to be very busy. How about you prepare a room for us to stay in first? Let's talk after the nobles finish their business with the caravan?"
"That's fine."
An Wenkang apologized, called someone to arrange Helianshen's residence, and left in a hurry.
In a temporary tent.
The little guard looked a little angry.
"Yougudu, what's going on with Angel? Does An Wenkang not pay attention to our royal court, or is he not worried about the actions of Blood Moon at all?"
As the saying goes, a sad army will win.
Nowadays, the entire Blood Moon clan is extremely angry, and most of all, they are united; while the food reserves at Benlu have been exhausted, and the soldiers are hungry and hungry, this is the moment when people's hearts are wandering.
Once the armies of both sides collide, Angel will probably not even have a chance to struggle, let alone the chance of winning.
There are nearly 50,000 elite soldiers in Benlu.
Even if Angel is a large tribe, it can never afford the loss.
Helianshen remained silent, just drinking tea slowly, his mind spinning rapidly.
In the battle of Dingxi a few months ago, the two sides fought so hard that the world turned pale.
The results have spread across the prairie.
Almost the entire army of Xue Yue's side was wiped out, and even the young clan leader Xue Yue Yingxiang's whereabouts were unknown. However, Kang Ansheng returned to the grassland with his well-organized troops.
Afterwards, both sides quickly submitted the battle process to the royal court.
Xue Yue accused Angel of secretly colluding with Yun Chui people, and Kang An Sheng even escaped from the battlefield and directly killed a large number of his colleagues in the grassland.
Angel looked aggrieved.
It is said that Xiliang's army has been on the campaign for three years, and both its troops and food and grass are no longer sustainable.
Xueyue Yingxiang secretly planned to attack Peishi City and then retreat directly to the grassland. They were the first ones to decide to escape before the battle.
It was just bad luck that he was caught by Yun Chui people and couldn't escape.
As for the Yangguan Ancient Road, Angel's defenders fought bravely until the last moment, and were finally wiped out. They had no intention of letting go.
Xue Yue said that they were colluding with the Yunchui Empire. They were just out of their mind and spouting nonsense after losing the battle.
Helianshen put down the milk tea cup in his hand.
He has read the statements of the above two armies one by one.
However, the reason why Wang Ting was able to control such a large grassland had its own channels.
snort.
The little guard next to him snorted coldly.
"The royal court has been silent for a long time. The tribes below are becoming more and more courageous. I don't know when they learned to deceive the superiors and conceal the truth."
"Yes." Helianshen nodded silently.
For example, Xue Yue accused Kang Ansheng of ignoring the life and death of friendly troops and escaping from the battle. But Xueyue was the one who first prepared to attack Peishi City in a false way and then retreated to the grassland under an excuse.
It can be said that they are really ready to escape.
In addition, what Angel said was true that all the guards on the Yangguan Ancient Road died in battle.
However, there are almost no traces of fierce fighting on the city wall at the pass. The large number of defenders seemed to stick out their heads and let others wipe their necks obediently.
And Xue Yue Yingxiang has not disappeared.
Although he was very embarrassed, he returned to the Blood Moon Tribe alive and well.
It's just that Xue Yue Zhiyong kept him hiding for some reason and didn't show his face in front of the public.
Thinking of this, Helianshen glanced east and remembered his purpose of coming here.
It is true that Angel's grain truck has been robbed, but the strange thing is that the grain truck and the accompanying cattle and sheep did not suffer much loss, but the escort team died cleanly.
It didn't look like they were robbing a grain truck, but more like trying to kill the food guard team.
snort.
The little guard next to him snorted again.
"Yougudu, the facts are obvious."
"So many of Angel's food delivery teams were robbed. Maybe it was Blood Moon's hand in the beginning. Later on, I'm afraid it was Angel directing and acting on his own. As for the food delivery teams being wiped out one by one, it was in order to put all the blame on Blood Moon's head. superior."
"There is no reason." Helianshen pondered, "If this is really the case, then what exactly does An Wenkang want to do? Does he want to starve to death his own people in Benluli?"
"You Gudu, what is there that you don't understand?"
The little guard whispered in his ear.
"The Angel tribe in front of us, the patriarch An Wenkang and the deputy chief Kang Ansheng are not the same family."
Boom~
Helianshen almost reacted as soon as his mind flashed.
The power of Xueyue is firmly in the hands of Xueyue Zhiyong. Even if his son Xueyue Yingxiang, the so-called prairie eagle, keeps losing the battle, the future Bloodyue tribe will still be his.
But Angel is different.
The clan leader An Wenkang is stronger, but he is not much stronger than Kang Ansheng.
Otherwise, there would not have been the deputy clan leader Kang Ansheng.
If the Blood Moon Army kills Kang Ansheng in Running Deer...
Wouldn't the Angel tribe at his feet now belong to An Wenkang alone?
No wonder the Blood Moon army has moved now, but An Wenkang is still busy with other things, even his right bone, who came all the way from the royal court, is ignored.
hey-hey
The little guard looked around.
"Yougudu," he lowered his voice, "I heard that the second prince..."
cough.
He coughed and quickly corrected himself.
"I heard that someone once saw Hutintochi's lost dog near the Angel settlement."
"Tell me...Does An Wenkang really have any disobedience?"
Helian Shen's heart skipped a few beats.
He subconsciously looked towards the city wall outside the settlement.
After a while, Helianshen spoke in warning.
"Don't talk nonsense, this is not our territory, be careful that the walls have ears."
"Yes!" The little guard quickly backed away.
