Chapter 452: Joining the Occupation

The Zhengdong Army set up a large camp on the side of the Buyi tribe. After seeing the current situation of the Buyi tribe, Gao Yuan is not worried that they will make trouble. With the strength of this small tribe, it is just a matter of flipping hands to destroy him. Geili Literature Network

Luo Feng obviously also understood this point, and went all out to entertain them. Except for the breeding cattle and sheep, as well as the underage calves and lambs, all the tribesmen killed and sent them to the camp of the Eastern Expedition Army. The soldiers of Zhengdong Army, who hadn't touched meat for many days, were overjoyed. Since they passed Jingyuan, there was not enough food in the army, not to mention meat. Today, they met a generous Huns. To feast on.

When Zhengdong Army was eating happily, in Luofeng's big tent, a group of Bouyei men sat beside Luofeng, all with sad faces.

"Patriarch, how can we survive the winter in this state now? Thousands of people have no food to eat. When the disaster comes, I don't know how many people will starve to death!" Twisted into a Sichuan character.

"There is no way to do this. You have also seen that this Yan's army has just suffered a defeat on the battlefield and has no food or grass. We were unlucky and ran into their hands. It would be better if we didn't wait Now, once the other party gets angry, let alone eat, I am afraid that even the lives of the whole clan will be lost. The opponent's strength is far beyond ours, so we can only make compromises. After they leave, the men in the clan will be more fortunate, see Can you bring back some more prey? As for this winter, I will leave it to fate, and the food will be guaranteed for the children, young adults, and women first. As for the elders of the tribe, they will leave the tribe and seek their own way of life!" Luo Feng closed his eyes and said slowly .

Hearing Luo Feng's words, all the men in the tent looked miserable. Among them, many of them had old people in their homes. Letting these old people leave the tribe to fend for themselves would allow them to fend for themselves. Apart from starving to death, Or become the food in the belly of the prairie wolf, is there a second way?

But besides this, what else can be done? Originally, the clan had already prepared enough food for the winter, but now, it had become the food of those uninvited guests. In order to ensure the continuation of the clan, they could only give up these old people.

"I'm getting old. After these people leave, I will also go into the grassland. Luoli, after I leave, you will be the head of the Buyi tribe. You must remember that no matter what danger you encounter, keep the The blood of the tribe is your important task." Looking up at the man who spoke earlier, Luo Feng said.

The man named Luo Li was shocked, "Patriarch, how can you leave, the Buyi tribe cannot do without you. I am not the patriarch."

"That's right, patriarch, you can't leave, if it weren't for you, our Buyi clan would have ceased to exist, Luo Li is the best candidate for the next patriarch, but he is still too young, please take him a few more years with the patriarch! "The other men also talked loudly to persuade them.

In this grassland catastrophe, the small tribe of the Buyi tribe could survive, indeed it was inseparable from Luo Feng's wisdom and intelligence. He is the backbone of the Buyi tribe. If he is missing, the Buyi tribe will immediately feel helpless.

"Luo Li is not young anymore!" Luo Feng shook his head with emotion, "You have all seen it today, Gao Yuan, the chief general of Dayan's Eastern Army, is only in his early twenties, and has already commanded thousands of troops. Luo Li is almost three today. Ten, how can I not be able to take on the big responsibility? I am over fifty, and living on the grassland can be considered a long life, so I will not waste food in the clan. This matter is settled like this, and they are all scattered. Remember to tell the clansmen when I go down. Don't mess with these people."

"Yes, patriarch!" All the men respectfully knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Luo Feng, who accepted it calmly.

In the tent we bid farewell sadly, but there was noise outside the tent. Hearing the footsteps, I'm afraid there are quite a few people,

A Buyi youth opened the curtain nervously, "Patriarch, that General Gao has brought people over."

Luo Feng's heart tightened. In order to entertain these troops, the clan had already done everything they could. Could it be that they were not satisfied and demanded too much? The clan's rations for the winter had already been donated. What should I do?

"Get up." Luo Feng shouted in a low voice, "Come out with me to meet them."

Gao Yuan was full of spring breeze and strode forward. Since he got rid of the pursuit of the Donghu army, he came to the bank of the Liao River without hindrance. Now it is not the enemy who is tying him up, but the food and grass. Thousands of troops consume an amount of food every day. The terrifying amount, until now, the army has basically run out of food and grass. Fortunately, some time ago, I met a Donghu tribe in Jingyuan. After killing the opponent, I took part of it.

This Buyi tribe is very knowledgeable. They didn't run away, didn't hide, and didn't make false excuses. Instead, they tried their best to entertain them. Afterwards, they can support for a period of time. Counting the days, the infantry should also come. When they were deployed at the beginning, they were now in a predicament. The infantry army carried a lot of supplies. As long as the two armies converge, everything will be fine .

The Bouyei people were so courteous and courteous that no one could find an excuse, and there were many Xiongnu cavalry in the army, so he had to give He Lanxiong face, but he had ulterior motives when he came today.

When visiting Luofeng, Gao Yuan only brought He Lanxiong and Aman, the patriarch of the Gongsun clan. They are both Huns, and they can shorten the distance between the two sides as much as possible.

Luo Feng welcomed Gao Yuan and his party into the big tent and sat down. Gao Yuan was not polite and spoke directly.

"I don't think the Bouyei tribe is well off. In order to entertain us, the patriarch might have gone bankrupt?"

Hearing this kind words, Luo Feng had a sore nose and was about to shed tears. How could it be that his family went bankrupt, and the Buyi tribe would soon face separation from their relatives.

"As long as it can satisfy General Gao, a little property of the Buyi tribe is nothing!" he said respectfully, clasping his hands together.

Gao Yuan smiled, and looked at He Lanxiong beside him. The former He Lanxiong knew better than him, because before he met Gao Yuan, the predicament of the Helan tribe was even worse than that of the Buyi people now. Thinking about it, I still have lingering fears.

"The Bouyei people gave their all to entertain our army. Gao is very grateful, but I don't want to hide the patriarch. Our army has lost the battle, and now we have nothing. There is nothing to thank the patriarch, so I can only provide some for the patriarch. Weapons, knives, spears, crossbows, etc., I have prepared for the patriarch, and I will send them to the patriarch later." Gao Yuan bowed and said.

"Thank you so much!" Luo Feng was overjoyed. For them, iron utensils are hard to find. Many ethnic groups have broken iron pots in their homes, and it is difficult to replace them with new ones, let alone sharp weapons. Zheng Dong He has already seen the weapons of the army in the daytime, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is salivating, but unfortunately, he can only look at them. Now that he hears that Gao Yuan is going to send him a batch, why not let him be overjoyed mad.

"You don't need to thank the patriarch. The food that the patriarch gave us is equivalent to saving our army. These weapons are nothing to us. What we can't eat or drink is far less precious than food." , what is the patriarch going to do?"

"Take a step and watch!" Luo Feng sighed, since the other party was kind, he didn't want to hide it.

"Is the patriarch going to let the elders of the clan go? Let them fend for themselves?" He Lanxiong asked suddenly.

When someone pointed out the plan, a strange color flashed across Luo Feng's face, "This is something that can't be helped. Besides, it is also a common thing among our Hun tribe. The old people leave for the sake of the young and middle-aged and the children." They left food, and this general is from our Huns, so he should understand that this is a last resort.”

He Lanxiong had a sad look on his face, "Of course I know that many years ago, when the white disaster came, the old people of our Helan tribe would leave the tribe far away with only a knife and a bow, and fend for themselves. How could you not know? Once you leave the tribe, what awaits them is death, and on the day of leaving, the tribe will sacrifice their lives, patriarch Luofeng, are you going to do the same?"

Luo Feng's face turned miserable, "How about not doing this? Food will eventually be insufficient. This is the only way to keep the tribe going."

"It's all our army's fault." Gao Yuan also sighed, "If our army hadn't arrived, the food prepared by Luofeng patriarch would be enough to survive this winter. In order to supply our army, the Bouyei people were exhausted. I am very sad in my heart, wondering if there are other ways to avoid such a tragedy from happening?"

"There's nothing you can do!" Luo Feng shook his head.

"General Gao, I have a plan, which may solve the current situation!" Ah Man said suddenly.

"Oh, what can you do?" Both Gao Yuan and Luo Feng looked at him in surprise. Naturally, Gao Yuan was pretending, while Luo Feng was really surprised.

"If you don't let the Buyi people follow us!" Aman said confidently, "General Gao and Luofeng Patriarch, both of you understand that our army has no food left, and the Buyi people don't have any extra rations for the winter. If we separate, It's just a situation where both sides suffer, but General Gao, have you forgotten that our reinforcements are only ten days away. If the Buyi people set off with our army, the food in his tribe will be enough for our army to survive. After more than ten days of predicament, after joining our reinforcements, the Buyi people can also avoid the pain of life and death, the best of both worlds, wouldn't it be great?"

"Let us follow you?" A look of surprise flashed across Luo Feng's face.

Ah Man smiled and said: "Patriarch Luofeng, you have also seen that I, General Helan, are all from the Xiongnu tribe, and now we have all voted for General Gao. We live incomparably richly, and with the support of General Gao, no one has ever dared to bully us. To live a leisurely life, why doesn’t Patriarch Luofeng consider it, just like General He Lan and I?”

Gao Yuan took He Lanxiong and Ah Man to leave. Luo Feng stood outside his big tent and looked at the Bouyei camp one step away. A trace of fear flashed in his eyes. The Geili Literature Network has completely fallen into silence, the camp of thousands of people seems to be empty inside, and the previous noise fell into silence in a blink of an eye. It's like a defeated army!

Behind Luo Feng slowly gathered a lot of people, like Luo Feng, they all quietly watched the army that suddenly appeared here.

"Go in!" Luo Feng sighed. I don't know how many sighs I have sighed this day. In the era of the weak, the strong eat the winner, and it is a miserable world for the weak.

Sitting cross-legged in the big tent, Luo Feng briefly explained the other party's intention to the tribe.

"We invite you to join!" Luo Feng: "I want to know what everyone thinks?"

There was a dead silence in the tent for a long while before there was a man: "The patriarchs can't trust these Central Plains people just want to annex us. Once they join, they will be slaughtered as fish and meat. They will definitely be driven to the battlefield by you. These are the only people in the clan and fight a few more battles." I’m afraid that the Bouyei people will no longer exist.”

"I don't agree!" As soon as this person's voice fell, the other person immediately said, "We can't afford to offend you if we lose to the strong or weak The cavalry of the Zhengdong Army shows that this General Zhengdong has no prejudice against us Huns and even relies heavily on us. Otherwise, how could He Lanxiong reach such a high position? We Bouyei also have heroes who are good at fighting, and men who are good at fighting are not necessarily worse than Helanxiong. I think this road is at least from now on We no longer have to worry about the tribe being swallowed up, women and children being bullied, and the elderly unable to provide for their lives."

Luo Feng listened quietly to the two before saying, "Both Luo Yun and Luo Lei need to discuss it together!"

There was a lot of discussion in the tent, but they were divided into two factions to support Luo Yun and Luo Lei respectively. Arguing for a long time, it finally turned into a violent temper. Luo Lei saw that it was impossible to win the result, and turned his head to look at Luo Feng: "The patriarch has made a final decision, and even if he argues like this in the year of the monkey, he can't discuss a result. In the past two years, the Bouyei tribe would have disappeared if the patriarch was wise. Do whatever you want!"

As soon as Luo Lei came out, the opposition represented by Luo Yun immediately fell silent. Luo Feng has great prestige in the clan and has the final decision-making power. Luo Yun looked at Luo Feng: "The patriarch decides!"

"Today, General Gao of the Eastern Conqueror Army presented us with a batch of ordnance. These are not only knives and guns, but also powerful crossbows and arrows, which are many times better than our own weapons. Awesome literature network," Luo Feng said slowly.

"Okay, this means that this general Gao is not malicious to you at all, otherwise how could he have given weapons to the Bouyei clan? With a sharp weapon near him, his prestige will be doubled." Luo Lei said loudly.

"Why are we so happy that if we join our subordinates, wouldn't it be equivalent to taking back this empty favor again?" Luo Yun retorted.

Luo Feng ignored the two of them and said to himself: "General Gao said that the troops he led had suffered a defeat in Donghu, and now all the supplies and luggage are lost, and it will take at least ten days for us to join the reinforcements, so we have any supplies in these ten days. Invitation We are not only grateful to you, but we also need the remaining cattle, sheep and rations in our tribe to survive the next ten days."

His dignified gaze swept over all the people in the tent, and after the speech, the tent fell into a deathly silence, and everyone was not stupid, so they naturally understood that there was a hidden edge in Gao Yuan's speech.

The East Army still has a ten-day sky window period. During these ten days, our food crisis has passed, and the soldiers have to eat. If the Buyi people don't join, what will happen? Everyone can understand with their buttocks.

"This naked threat!" Luo Yun's voice trembled.

"Threats, but the matter has been made clear!" Luo Feng said lightly, "I don't know what else to do if you choose to join. After joining, you can at least get the same treatment. The young people of the tribe can also look around and He Lanxiong will know. And also I have inquired about the large number of Huns in the Eastern Expedition Army."

Gao Yuan gave the Bouyei people the only way forward. There was no choice at all. It was as simple as destroying the clan or joining. On the bright side, it made Luo Feng feel that the other party's frankness was more important. Many Hun soldiers in the Eastern Conquest Army made Luo Feng see hope.

The Eastern Conquest Army has indeed suffered a defeat, but after the defeat, the Eastern Conquest Army still has an extremely thick thigh compared to the Bouyei people. If you hug this thick leg, the Bouyei people's crisis can be solved easily. Then one person, one knife and one bow, walked into the dangerous grassland to wait for death alone, and the young and middle-aged could be born like He Lanxiong.

Luo Feng was never worried about the abilities of the Buyi warriors.

"Join!" Luo Feng stood up, "When we go back, we should make it clear to our subordinates that we don't need to understand the unnecessary things? It's enough for these people to know about these things."

Luo Feng made a final decision, and the rest of the people stood up without any objection and paid their bills.

The next day, Luofeng led the leaders of the Buyi tribe into the camp of the Eastern Conscripting Army, and the whole family joined the Eastern Conscripting Army. Gao Yuan was naturally overjoyed. The addition of the Buyi tribe not only solved the problem of feeding thousands of soldiers of the Eastern Army in the next ten days, but also gained more than 200 Buyi cavalry for no reason. They can survive the chaos in the grassland and protect the safety of a family. How can soldiers be weak? As for the addition of the more than 2,000 Buyi women, children, old and weak, it seems like a problem now, but when I lead them back to Jishi City, there is nothing to worry about. Just one thing.

Jishi City is short of people right now.

Busy for several days, the Buyi people broke out from their camps and set foot on the westward journey again with the Eastern Army. They fled from where they came from, but now they are on their way back.

The two hundred cavalry were directly incorporated into the He Lanxiong Cavalry Battalion. I would like to stay with those two thousand people.

These two thousand old and weak were grouped together by Gao Yuan and the wounded soldiers in the army. The addition of these people added a lot of helpers to the wounded barracks. Although those women are rough, they take care of the wounded more than the soldiers in the army. I am more careful. Over the years, the grassland has been fighting continuously. Why are there fewer wounded in the accounts of the Buyi women? Taking care of these wounded, they are familiar with the way. As a result, Gao Yuan transferred most of the wounded soldiers from the wounded battalion to take care of the wounded and return to the army.

The soldiers of the Eastern Army who crossed the Liaohe breathed a sigh of relief, so far they are considered completely safe and joined the reinforcements. The days can be expected, but the morale is getting higher day by day.

It has been several days since He Lanxiong sent out spies, and when they come back, they will be able to bring news of reinforcements. Although the Buyi people have been recruited, the rations in the army are still only enough to last for another ten days.

Just when Zhengdong Army was happily embarking on the return journey, Lin Zhouyuan and Lin Zhouyuan led the main force of the Yan Army with nearly 70,000 people, and they were completely in a desperate situation.

General Kumamoto should be the vanguard, the Yan army attacked day and night, and Lin attacked for ten days in a row, but he was prepared early, and Lin Cheng stood still, and the corpses of the Yan army under Lin Cheng piled up like a mountain. At this time, the entire Yan army's food reserves have been exhausted, and it is even more terrifying. Countless Donghu cavalry are encircling from Liaoning Wei, Yulin, Congluo and other directions.

At this time, the Yan army has gone to the sky and has no way to enter the ground.

The whole army retreated to Xiong'er Mountain, less than ten miles away from Helin, to build a camp on the mountain.

In less than half a month, Zhou Yuan has already aged over ten years. From Binglin and Lin Zhili's high-spirited spirit to now an old man, the change is so great that the guards and followers around him tremble with fear. His face, which was originally well-maintained, now has spots of old age. One piece is extremely conspicuous.

"Taiwei's army is about to run out of food and grass to break through!" Kumamoto looked old and Zhou Yuan said loudly: "The people of Donghu don't need to attack and they will starve to death. Fighting for one is enough for the money and fighting for two to earn one for Donghu and There is a huge disparity in national strength, even if we all die here, we can lose some of our strength. In less than two years, Dayan can raise a large army to wait for revenge."

The vanguard of the Kumamoto army attacked Helin, and the army was the main force. After more than ten days, Kumamoto's troops suffered more than half of the casualties. He felt pain and anxiety.

On the one hand, Tao Qigong looked gloomy, looking at the current situation, he might be unable to recover, and he was just like Kumamoto: "Taiwei make up his mind!"
