Chapter 58: Helping Li Changan
On the grassland, they usually talk with their bows and arrows, and there was no too much intrigue. If the incident of the Helan tribe happened in the Dajin court, I am afraid that Yuwen Jie, who killed his brother, would have been controlled by Yuwen Hao and even killed directly.
This is what happens on the grassland.
The secret divisions under Li Xin have more or less staff in the Yuwen tribes. Naturally, it is impossible for the large tribes like the Helan tribe to have no. After receiving the news from Li Xin, Chen Gang immediately sent a message to the secret line of the Helan tribe. About two days later, Chen Gang brought the news from the Helan tribe to Li Xin. At this moment, Li Xin was sitting in his tent chewing a piece of cake. After turning around and looking at the information, he stuffed the last piece of cake in his hand into his mouth, turned his head and smiled at Ye Mao next to him: "What a coincidence, it seems that we will run a lot less road this time."
Ye Mao was also sitting next to Li Xin eating dry food. He heard this and he drank a big sip of water and asked, "Who has any descendants of this Yuwen Hao?"
"Yes, it's still a brother and sister."
Li Xin handed the information to Ye Mao and smiled and said, "The older one is twenty-one years old this year, and the younger one is only sixteen years old. They were all driven out of the tribe by Yuwen Jie and thrown into the horse farm of the Helan tribe."
Ye Mao's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"What does Uncle Master mean?"
Li Xinhan nodded with a smile: "It's just the way."
There were only more than 10,000 people in their group. If it were not necessary, they would not provoke the Headquarters of the Horan Division.
Because of the reason for scattering herding, the Helan tribe with more than 300,000 people was not far apart, but was scattered into small tribes. With Li Xin's current military strength, it was not difficult to destroy a small tribe of the Helan tribe. However, once he attacked the Helan tribes, the surrounding Helan tribes would soon be surrounded. Almost all of these Xianbei people had horses and were good at shooting. If they were caught up, they would be dead.
So from the beginning, Li Xin planned to find one in the four horse farms of the Helan tribe that was close to the tent of King Yuwen Zhao, and then attack the horses in the horse farm to Yuwen Zhao, thereby intensifying the conflicts. After doing this, in order not to be caught by the Xianbei people, he had to consider temporarily retreating.
But now it is obvious that they have a better choice.
Ye Mao's eyes were bright, and he threw all the fried rice in his hand into his mouth. After chewing a few bites, he turned to look at Li Xin and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Master, when will we do it!"
Li Xin got up, patted the cake dregs on his body, and said slowly: "After the incident of Qigui tribe, the Yuwen tribe will probably find our traces. It is better to be early or late. We will set off to the Heroma farm of the Helan tribe tonight. We will lie down during the day and leave at night, and try to arrive tomorrow night."
Speaking of this, Li Xin got up and walked out of the tent. Ye Mao also stood up and followed Li Xin.
It is winter now, and there is little green on the grassland, and it is a scene of withering. More importantly, there is a vast area around it, and it is difficult to recognize the direction.
"We have to find someone to guide us."
Ye Mao followed behind and asked, "Uncle Shi, how many people are there in this Hero Ma Field?"
"The specific number of people is not clear, but there are about one or two thousand people watching there."
Ye Mao lowered his head and was silent for a while, and finally said slowly: "Then we will take five thousand people tonight, bring five thousand people, and... the Master's Heavenly Thunder will be sure to deal with these two thousand people within two hours."
Li Xin narrowed his eyes and said, "The problem is not very big when taking down this horse farm. The difficulty is that after doing this, we will almost certainly be discovered by Yuwen Zhao. This place is not close to Yunzhou. How can we safely return to the pass by at that time?"
Ye Mao scratched his head: "What does Uncle Master mean?"
"Write a letter to Zhongwu and let him prepare to pick us up."
Ye Mao smiled bitterly and said, "The character of the family members will most likely not send troops out of the country to confront the Xianbei people on the grassland."
"Yuwen Zhao was also beaten by the Zhenbei Army and was covered in bruises. If the Zhong family was afraid of this, they would not be worthy of becoming a border army again."
Li Xin looked at Yunzhou City and took a deep breath.
"I'll go write a letter later, and you can add a seal and send it to Yunzhou City."
……………………
The next night, the sky slowly dimmed.
It was already winter now, and the north was particularly cold. In a stable in the Heroma Farm, a pair of brothers and sisters wore not particularly thick leather jackets. They each carried a bundle of hay and fed food to the stables.
This brother and sister are naturally the children of the former patriarch of the Horan tribe, brother Yu Wentao and sister Yu Wenjing.
The two of them were originally little princes and little princesses of the Helan tribe, but after their father died suddenly for no reason, his uncle took over the power of the clan. Even their mother and aunt were occupied by their uncle Yuwen according to the rules of "brothers and brothers" in the tribe.
In order to make things difficult for them, Yuwen Jie drove the brother and sister to the Hero Ma Farm to raise horses under the pretext of training them, and arranged tasks for them. The two brothers and sisters had to take care of a total of 200 horses. It was agreed that before the end of this year, if one of the two hundred horses died or lost weight, the two brothers and sisters would be considered unqualified and would raise horses in the horse farm for another year. If they were unqualified, they would not be able to return to the Helan tribe for the rest of their lives.
This is naturally a difficult thing for people. You should know that in an ordinary herdsman's home, there are usually only two or three horses. Two people take care of a total of two hundred horses. Even if you work all day long, you will definitely have some omissions.
In other words, the two brothers and sisters are likely to be exiled to this Hero horse farm forever and raise horses forever.
It was already winter, and the plants were withered, and there was no way to go out to release the horses. The brother and sister could only look for hay everywhere to come back to feed the horses they were responsible for.
Because there are too many, even though it is already dark, the brother and sister are still busy.
After his brother Yu Wentao fed the horses in a stable, he looked back at his sister who was still working hard. He felt a little distressed. He walked over, took the hay from his sister's hand, and reluctantly smiled: "Girl, go to bed first, there is not much left, I can finish it myself in a while."
Yu Wenjing shook her head and said, "There are still thirty or forty horses, and there is no food... Brother, you..."
"boom!"
Yu Wenjing was only half of her words, and suddenly she heard a loud noise!
The loud noise was too loud. Not only the brother and sister were shocked, but even the horses in the stable were almost all frightened. They were restless in the stable, causing their necks to be neighed.
Yu Wenjing hurriedly pulled her brother's sleeve and her voice trembled: "Brother, what happened..."
Yu Wentao was also a little panicked at this moment. He reluctantly calmed down and didn't care about the horses. He pulled his sister and ran to the small wooden house where the two of them lived and hid.
There was still a rumbling sound outside, and after a while, there were still bursts of dying to kill.
The brother and sister hid under the bed in the cabin and did not dare to move.
The sound of fighting kept coming.
Yu Wenjing's face was pale, she tightly pulled her brother's sleeve, her voice trembling: "Brother..."
Because of the ups and downs during this period, she felt completely insecure now, and even doubted whether the person outside was sent by his uncle Yuwen Jie to kill the brother and sister.
Yu Wentao reached out and patted his girl on the back, and said in a tremolo voice: "It's okay, it's okay..."
In this way, the brother and sister hid under the bed for about one or two hours. The shouts of killing outside gradually stopped. Yu Wentao swallowed and leaked, crawled out from under the bed, lay in the crack of the door and looked out. He saw that there were dead bodies that could not be raised up everywhere in the horse farm, many of which were still trampled to death by the frightened war horses.
When he was about to take the courage to go out to take a look, a gentle voice came from the side.
"You... are Yu Wentao?"
Yu Wentao turned his head suddenly and saw that under the vague moonlight, he saw a middle-aged man with a little scattered hair and beard but a firm face, standing not far away beside him.
Yu Wentao was very scared at this moment. He was not worried about his life, but about the fact that his sister, who was just a cardamom, caught these people who didn't know where they came from.
So he swallowed and said boldly: "I...I am Yuwen Tao."
"That's great."
This amiable middle-aged man stepped forward two steps and walked in front of Yu Wentao, with a sincere smile on his face.
