Vol 2 Chapter 79: (7.12 one more)

    Wei Yun rushed all the way to Wei Qiu and Wei Xia, and immediately said: "Shacheng is not easy to attack, retreat according to the retreat route you prepared."

    Wei Qiu and Wei Xia hesitated for a moment, but they said: "Master Hou, our food and wages may not be enough for seven days..."

    "There are other places nearby, go back first, and then make plans."

    Wei Yun resolutely opened the mouth, Wei Qiu and Wei Xia no longer hesitated, after listening to Wei Yun's words, Wei Qiu stepped forward to lead the way, Wei Yun led Chu Yu and Shen Wushuang and the group, a group of people like the wind Generally left the sand city.

    The soldiers in Shacheng were just getting ready to fight when they saw those soldiers and horses turn around and leave. A group of people thought about whether they were chasing or not. Dry. So the defenders of Shacheng rested for a while, and seeing that Wei Yun and others hadn't come back, they turned around and reported the attack on Shacheng to the royal court.

    Wei Yun and Wei Qiuweixia rushed to the escape route they had planned for a long time, while running: "Where are we going now?"

    "There is an oasis not far away, where we rest." Wei Qiu answered.

    "How many people are left?"

    They were looting the village all the way, there must be damage, Wei Xia said with a dark expression: "There are 1,143 people."

    In addition to the losses during the siege, their casualties these days are not very heavy, but in terms of proportions, it is a little shocking.

    Wei Yun pursed his lips, then said, "How did you guys think of coming to Shacheng?"

     

    Wei Yun didn't say anything, and there were hardly many people from Chu in Bei Di's abdomen. Although Wei Yun had collected all the relevant information of Bei Di before coming, on the one hand, those data were maps from many years ago. On the other hand, because Beidi is a nomadic people, most villages camped on the spot except for the city. Moreover, even if it is a city, the people of Dachu only know about a few cities on the main roads. Even this Shacheng, I just heard that the strength of Shacheng, if Wei Yun lived in this city for a month, was afraid. I can't figure it out either.

    Chu Yu listened to their conversation and understood Wei Yun's concerns. In the last life, she and Gu Chusheng went in and out of Beidi many times for this very reason.

    Wait for everyone to set up camp in the oasis, Wei Yun and Wei Qiuwei Xia exchanged the situation after the separation of the two sides, Chu Yu settled Shen Wushuang and Bai Chang Shen Jiaojiao and returned to Wei Yun go around.

    Wei Yun asked Wei Qiu and Wei Xia to go to bed first, Chu Yu sat beside Wei Yun and saw the map he drew.

    "Where are you going?"

    Chu Yu smiled, Wei Yun looked up at her: "sister-in-law still sleeping?"

    "There should be a village not far from here."

    Chu Yu was eating Hu cakes, raised her finger to the southwest of Shacheng, and said calmly: "I asked when I was in the city, this village is not big, there should be only a few hundred people."

    Wei Yun nodded, Chu Yu thought about it, and took out a map from her arms: "And this, when I was in the city, I asked someone to draw it."

    Wei Yun took the map from Chu Yu's hand, which was much more detailed than the map he got in Great Chu.

    This is the map of the entire Beidi that Chu Yu and Gu Chusheng drew for many years. Not only that, but she also, according to her own memory, mapped the strongholds and main forces of Beidi's major tribes. The marching route was marked on one side, and said with Wei Yun: "I guess the points above, we will avoid it when the time comes."

    Wei Yun looked down at Chu Yu, if there is no error in such a picture, it is too important.

    He vaguely understood in his heart, how could this thing come out just by asking someone, just guess it.

    But he also knew that if Chu Yu didn't say it, there must be a reason why she didn't say it, so he bowed his head in response, looked down at the map, and had a vague idea in his heart.

    The next morning before dawn, Wei Yun called Wei Xia and Weiqiu up, let the soldiers eat breakfast, then got on their horses and galloped all the way towards the village marked by Chu Yu. The desert is vast and sparsely populated, and it was only after nightfall that they came to the vicinity of the village. Wei Yun asked everyone to hide behind the dunes first, and then went forward to observe for a while. After almost confirming the number of people, he called Wei Xia over and instructed: "You let people spread out, and we will go down after night, from all directions. Go down, let everyone roar a little louder, and make the movement louder, you know?"

    Wei Xia nodded, and when it was night, he dispersed with people, forming a siege, hiding behind the dunes of the entire village.

    Then only listening to Wei Yun's order, a group of people shouted and rushed down, and the sound of killing sounded in the sky, the sound of gongs and drums came from all directions, the cattle, sheep and horses were startled and fled everywhere, the villagers People rushed out, men holding knives and arrows, protecting women, women and children in the middle.

    Wei Yun shouted in Beidi language: "Surrender and don't kill! Surrender and don't kill!"

      Bold, hearing this, the man and woman looked at each other in the firelight, put down their weapons, and knelt down slowly.

    Wei Xia and Wei Qiu separated men and women, and then began to bring cattle and sheep and dry food.

    An old man watched Wei Qiuweixia do this, clenching his fists, with tears in his eyes.

     Wei Yun looked beside him, turned his head and patted his shoulder.

    The old man was startled by Wei Yun, and immediately began to kowtow, thinking that his demeanor made Wei Yun dissatisfied, and the villagers suddenly became excited, Wei Yun supported the old man and calmly said: "Master, we will not take Take everything. I'll leave you half of the rations."

    The old man was stunned for a moment, and the person next to him listened to Wei Yun's words, and then slowly calmed down, Wei Yun watched Wei Qiu and Wei Xia lead the cattle, sheep and horses out, and calmly said: "Now the front When the war starts, everyone is forced to do it. If there is a way to survive, no one wants to do this. If you have something to hate, hate Su Can."

    The jerky Beidi language revealed Wei Yun's identity, and the old man showed grief: "You are fighting, what does it have to do with us people?"

    "Old man, what you said is wrong," Wei Xia sneered when he heard this: "Why don't you ask your Beidi army, when they killed our people in Dachu , why don't you say that it has nothing to do with the people? You come to Dachu every year to grab people and food, this is the first time we have done this, so you are polite."

     

    "We're still dead."

     Wei Xia rolled her eyes. Wei Qiu came forward and said with Wei Yun, "Master Hou, the food and horses have been counted."

    Wei Yun nodded, turned to the old man and said, "You can order twenty young men for me."

    "What are you doing?"

    The old man opened his eyes, Wei Yun smiled: "We need a few guides, you give me ten young people, I will take good care of them and their wives and daughters."

    "No!" The old man said decisively: "You can take all of the grain, cattle and horses, but you can't!"

    Wei Yun's face was calm, and there was some regret in his eyes: "Master, it's not that I can't kill people."

    Wei Yun pulled out the sword from his waist and said indifferently: "If you don't give me these ten people, then none of the people in your village will survive."

    The old man clenched his fists and trembled. After a while, a bright young voice said, "I'll go with you."

    "Tusso, go back!"

    The old man shouted, but the young man did not step back, stared at Wei Yun and said, "I'll follow you."

    Wei Yun nodded and asked Wei Xia to pull people, but at this moment, many young people stood up, excitedly stood in front of the young man and said: "I'm going! Let's go!"

    "Young Patriarch, you can't go..."

    Everyone surrounded the boy and stopped Wei Xia. Wei Xia looked at Wei Yun in embarrassment, Wei Yun looked at the young man, and finally said: "Let him come over, he will pick two more people himself, I will say dozens of times, and I will leave after the selection."

    The boy let out a sigh of relief and smiled. Everyone beside him excitedly started to stop the boy, or suggested himself. After the boy looked around, he ordered two people, then separated from the crowd and walked to In front of the old man, he raised his hand on his chest, bowed deeply, and said seriously, "Grandpa, goodbye."

    Speaking, he turned around again and said goodbye to his relatives one by one.

    After doing all this, the teenager came to Wei Yun, Wei Qiu and the others were all ready to go, Wei Yun looked at him and said, "What's your name?"

    "Tusso."

    The young man lowered his eyes and looked respectful, Wei Yun nodded and asked Wei Xia to lead him a horse: "Come up."

    Tusuo obediently finished according to Wei Yun's words, and before dawn, this lightning-like looting was over. Wei Yun took Chu Yu and let the camels lead the way. The group walked all night. At noon, they finally found the next water source.

    Everyone rested, Chu Yu and Bai Chang greeted to make a fire to slaughter the sheep, Wei Yun called Tusuo over, gave him a cake, and the two chatted behind the shadow of the camel.

    "How old are you?"

    "Fourteen." Tusuo ate Hu Bing and looked at Wei Yun quietly. Wei Yun nodded: "Well, I'm fifteen, almost sixteen."

    "Are you a high official?"

    Tusuo was a little curious, Wei Yun couldn't help laughing, and replied: "Well, it's okay."

    "Then you must be very capable." Tusuo nodded, Wei Yun smiled bitterly: "Just inherit the family business."

    "Ah, what about your father?"

    "Dead." Wei Yun's voice was low, but Tusuo didn't feel that he had offended anything, and continued: "Don't you have a brother?"

    "Yes."

    "Where's my brother?"

    "Dead."

    Tusuo was stunned, he considered it for a while, and said carefully: "Did... Bei Di killed it?"

    Wei Yun didn't speak, after a while, he nodded.

    There was some despair in Tusuo's eyes, but Wei Yun patted his shoulder.

    "Don't worry, I won't anger you for it. Since ancient times, the suffering of wars has been mostly caused by the people, the suffering of the people, the suffering of the people. I want to take revenge. It's also the royal family of Beidi. You are good to me. I won't make things difficult for you."

    Tusso is a little strange: "What do you want me to do?"

    "Lead the way."

    Wei Yun looked up at Chu Yu who was wearing a cloak and greeted roast mutton under the scorching sun not far away, and calmly said: "I have no other ideas, I just want to end the war and go home. You can help me. , When I return to Da Chu, if you want, I will take you back, and I will help you when the time comes."

    Tusuo thought for a while, then shook his head: "I don't want high officials."

    "Then what do you want?"

    Wei Yun turned to look at him.

    The reason why he chose Tusuo was because he saw that Tusuo was not forced to come here, he stood up voluntarily.

    Tusuo was a little embarrassed, he whispered: "When the war is over, can you give me a piece of land, I want to take my clan to Dachu."

    Wei Yun was a little puzzled: "Why? Is it bad in Beidi?"

    "Our tribe is small," Tusuo sighed: "There are several scattered villages with less than 2,000 people in total, and they are often bullied by other large tribes. To tell you the truth, this This time, even if you didn't rob us, there would be other people. I don't like war," Tusuo looked in the direction of Da Chu with envy in his eyes: "I heard that the people of Da Chu don't like war, they live very peacefully, I want, too."

    No one likes war, everyone does.

    Wei Yun did not comment on Tusuo's thoughts, everyone just wanted to live a better life.

    He patted Tusuo on the shoulder and said calmly: "Don't worry, when the war is over, I will give you a piece from the Wei family fief."

    "Thank you!"

    Tusso was grateful: "I know you are a good man!"

    The two were talking, Chu Yu came over, and she greeted the two of them over: "The lamb is roasted, come and eat."

    Wei Yun stood up in response, smiled and said, "I'm sorry to bother my sister-in-law."

    Tusuo heard Wei Yun's words, moved his ears, looked up at Chu Yu. A group of people gathered around the sheep, Wei Yun personally cut the mutton for Tusuo, and said seriously: "Now in the desert, you are the host, and I will depend on you in the future."

    Tusuo nodded again and again, Shen Wushuang also replaced the wine with water and gave Tusuo a toast.

    Tu Suo blushed, Wei Yun introduced everyone, Tu Suo kept remembering people. After the introduction, Tusuo asked Wei Yun, "Is that young master in Da Chu?"

    Everyone was slightly taken aback, Wei Yun said a little embarrassedly: "I haven't married yet."

    Tusuo was a little strange, looked at Chu Yu and said, "Isn't Madam here?"

    "That's his sister-in-law!" Shen Wushuang hurried out to interrupt, Tusuo said solemnly: "Yes, his brother is dead, isn't his sister-in-law his woman?"

    As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Yu spat out a mouthful of water.

    She coughed hurriedly, her face flushed from coughing, everyone looked at Tusuo, stunned, Shen Wushuang remembered this, and hurriedly explained: "Beidi people are like this, after the death of the elder brother, he will be The younger brother inherits everything."

    Speaking, Shen Wushuang's face was also a little red, but he still bite the bullet and said: "Including women."

    The author has something to say:  【Small Theater】

    Shen Wushuang: I suddenly feel that the inheritance of Beidi people is very good.

    Wei Yun:…

    Shen Wushuang: Don't be hypocritical, just say something

    Wei Yun: My sister-in-law is not property and cannot inherit!

    Chu Yu: Good, Xiao Qi is really sensible.

    Bai Chang: That's why I don't like you.

    Shen Wushuang:…

    Wei Yun:><
