Li Yi said slowly and logically: "Not just your village, I want to rescue all the Qihu people and bring you back to Da Feng."
"What?"
The old man was startled and sat down on the ground. "There are hundreds of villages around my Qihu tribe, and there are hundreds of thousands of hidden prairie tribe troops?"
Li Yi said calmly: "So what, I will never abandon a Qihu tribesman."
The old man nodded, and then sighed: "It's all our fault that some of us Qihu tribesmen were so obsessed that we rebelled with the grassland tribes, otherwise we wouldn't have ended up like this."
Li Yi nodded, "This is a lesson for you Qihu people. If you dare to betray Da Feng again, this vast grassland will be the grave of you Qihu people."
"Yes, I'll understand." The old man nodded, extremely sincere.
But Li Yi knew that the Qihu people were not reliable, and only thought of the Dafeng people when the situation forced them to do so. Therefore, he had to take precautions in advance.
"Why is it that my Dafeng caravan is brutally killed every time it passes through your Qihu tribe's territory?"
After hearing this, the old man immediately explained, "Yes, this matter was indeed done by our Qihu people. The Qihu people are not monolithic. Some Qihu people have completely surrendered to the grassland tribe and are willing to act as lackeys of the grassland tribe." , robbed Dafeng’s caravans everywhere, and most of them were done by grassland tribesmen. They deliberately provoked the Dafeng Dynasty to prevent us Qihu people from naturalizing Dafeng.”
Li Yi nodded and said: "This time, it is up to you to personally identify and ensure that the participating Qihu villages are willing to join me, Dafeng. Otherwise, if the news leaks, all of you will die."
"I understand this. It's a very important matter. I will contact you personally." The old man suddenly asked again: "May I ask how many Gale troops the general has brought."
"Less than fifty people."
"What?"
"Less than fifty people?"
The old man's face turned completely pale, and the young man lowered his head in despair.
"General, there are tens of thousands of grassland tribal troops in our village alone. How do you kill them?"
"Just a bunch of herdsmen grazing!"
Li Yi said calmly: "There are more than fifty people. I alone am enough to wipe out the grassland army in your village, but the prerequisite is that you must listen to me."
"Old man, these fifty people of mine can stop thousands of troops. These more than 10,000 grassland troops are not worth mentioning. But only you can know about this matter. No other people are allowed to know. You go and inform other tribesmen and they are not allowed to know. Know that I only have fifty people, leave the rest to me.”
"But fifty people..."
Li Yi smiled indifferently and said softly: "You should know that I, Dafeng, have a saying, soldiers are crafty. To deal with these grassland armies, you don't need many people, I am enough."
The old man's face turned pale and he shook his head repeatedly, "You're crazy. You, General Gale, are crazy!"
But the young man looked excited and eager to try.
Li Yi smiled and said: "I'm not crazy. I have a plan for a long time. This place is only more than 200 miles away from the Gale Frontier. I will kill all the grassland troops tonight and set off overnight. We will arrive early tomorrow morning." The frontier of the Gale Dynasty.”
"It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate. Fifty people versus ten thousand people, no, hundreds of thousands of people. Even if you are all heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals, you can't do it." The old man shook his head repeatedly. He had lost confidence. How could he be willing to fight with Li Yi? Bet, if you lose the bet, your village will be doomed.
"Okay, in that case, I will take my leave and pretend that I have never been here. But there is one thing. This is your last hope. In the future, if the grassland tribes use troops against Gale, they will definitely use you as cannon fodder. Sooner or later, you will die."
But the young man was not afraid and knelt down to the old man again, "Dad, I don't want to live like a dog anymore. I want to live like a human being. If I die sooner or later, I will die. Take a gamble, Grandpa!"
The old man looked helpless and stared at his grandson with dull eyes. His rough palms touched the young man's face, full of bitterness.
He didn't expect that his grandson, who had always been obedient, could be so crazy.
And this General Gale is even more crazy.
The two lunatics finally met.
"As long as I follow my plan, this village will not be able to escape destruction even if there are millions of prairie tribe troops."
The old man was always hesitant. He didn't dare to gamble. He was betting not only on his life, but also on the lives of the entire Qihu tribe.
If the Khan King of the grassland tribe knew that the Qihu people had different intentions, they would probably die more miserably than anyone else, and the entire Qihu people would definitely not be able to escape the tragedy of annihilation.
After hesitating for a long time, and with his grandson's constant pleading, he finally gritted his teeth and nodded.
The old man burst into tears and stared at Li Yi closely, "Dafeng man, please listen to me. I am gambling with you with the lives of the entire tribe. If I lose, our entire Qihu tribe will be destroyed. I hope you can careful."
Li Yi drew the sword and held it in his hand, "I will also tie this life to you. One will be prosperous and one will suffer."
As soon as he finished speaking, the blade cut through Li Yi's palm, and blood spurted out instantly.
This scene made Cao Qingyan feel distressed, "Master, what are you doing..."
"Is that enough?" Li Yida said.
The old man turned his head to look at the young man and handed him an oil paper bag. "Give it to Uncle Mu from the next village. He will understand."
"Yes, Grandpa!"
Li Yi didn't say much. He tore off the cloth and wrapped it around his palm, and tied the long knife on it. "Old Cao, get ready to take action. Let's deal with the thing under the cave first."
"No!" Cao Qingyan agreed, "How about we ask Huweihou Lu Xiangsheng and the others to support us?"
"No need, just a few dozen prairie soldiers."
Li Yi quickly walked to the door of the cave with a knife to ambush, and quietly opened the door of the cave. Someone was vaguely speaking inside, speaking in the language of a prairie tribe. Li Yi could not understand, and did not need to understand.
"superior!"
Li Yi made a gesture, and Cao Qingyan rushed in first, followed closely by him.
"Swish swish!"
Li Yi suddenly jumped down from the hole, holding a repeating crossbow, and kept firing. One by one, the grassland soldiers fell to the ground screaming.
The unsuspecting grassland soldiers faced Cao Qingyan's powerful weapon and showed no resistance at all. Coupled with Li Yi's accurate bursts of crossbows, no matter how strong these grassland soldiers were, it was of no avail. They instantly fell to the ground and turned into ashes. Every corpse.
After a moment, Li Yi walked out of the cave with a long knife, tied the heads of the prairie soldiers together and threw them in front of the old man, "Is that enough?"
"Ah, this is..." The old man couldn't help being shocked. He had seen these brave and capable prairie tribesmen before, but he didn't expect them to be so vulnerable to General Gale.
"I have a more convenient way to deal with them." Li Yi smiled mysteriously.
"Please tell me, General." The old man was startled.
Li Yi glanced at the kerosene lamp on the table and said, "Does your village have grease?"
"Yes, there are a lot of them. The animals have just been slaughtered and there is a lot of grease. I wonder what the general does with these things?" the old man asked in confusion.
"It's useful, it's of great use." Li Yi turned to Cao Qing and said: "Take Huweihou with you. Under the guidance of the old man, we searched for each other one by one. We were not allowed to let go of any grassland soldiers. At the same time, we piled grease at the entrance of the cave. I We want the prairie pigs roasted over fire.”
Cao Qingyan was so anxious that his eyes almost popped out of his head, "Ah, Your Majesty, are you... okay? There are almost ten thousand grassland soldiers here, and there are only a few dozen of us, and we are exhausted."
"Master, don't forget, our goal is to take the Mohist giant Shang Wanning back. Let's forget about other things. When there is a chance, I will accompany you north to pacify the grassland."
"Let's forget it today!"
Li Yi gently wiped away the blood on the blade, "It doesn't count."
"I promised to take them back, and I will never break my promise."
"But, what if..."
Li Yi directly interrupted Cao Qingyan's words, "Old Cao, there is no such thing as a one-day event. Since I came to the throne, there has been no one-day event. Aren't I still alive and well?"
"Six Ministers, King Fu, the Yan family and his son, and King Xiaoliang, they don't want me to die early, but I am still alive and well."
Cao Qingyan was still worried: "If these Qihu people are unreliable, I'm afraid none of us will be able to leave alive?"
"Won't."
"I gave them a way to survive."
"Unless they really want to be exterminated."
Li Yi was extremely confident, "Step by step, tell Hu Weihou to deal with it carefully."
At this time, the young man ran back, "I have notified the whole village and mobilized the people. Uncle Mu from the next village also knew about it and started preparations immediately."
"Sign up and prepare for action!"
Li Yi took a deep breath and said.
Cao Qingyan didn't dare to hide it and agreed immediately.
Huweihou's momentum remained the same as before. He danced like a tiger with a large long knife in his hand, and several strong grassland soldiers were cut in half before they even got close.
After all the prairie tribe sentries were dealt with, a fire quickly engulfed the entire village.
Almost no one of those ferocious grassland soldiers rushed out. Even if someone did rush out, they had turned into flaming men and were killed immediately.
The Qihu people also released their hatred in their hearts and surrounded and killed the remnants of the grassland soldiers who rushed out. For a while, men, women, old and children started massacring the grassland soldiers who were covered in fire.
As for the remaining grassland tribesmen, smoked meat was their final fate.
"Your Majesty!" Huweihou Lu Xiangsheng ran over excitedly.
"Um."
"You just led us to kill ten thousand grassland soldiers, maybe more."
"Um!"
Li Yi remained unfazed, squatting on the ground and looking at the map carefully. This really made Lu Xiangsheng admire him. He was not arrogant in winning, and he had such a character at such a young age. Your Majesty, it is really remarkable.
He respected the young emperor in front of him from the bottom of his heart.
"We can't go further east. We must turn back to the south. So many people from the grassland tribe have died. They will not let it go. Tuo Lei will definitely come after him personally. During this more than 200 miles, I don't know how many Qihu people will die. here."
Lu Xiangsheng frowned, "Your Majesty, do you have an idea?"
"Pheasant Ridge!"
