Spring finally came, and the spring light on the grassland was particularly bright. Ye Ke's heart was just like the spring light outside the tent, full of joy and vitality. He walked out of the big tent holding a bow in his hand and said to the guards outside

: "Today I am going hunting. There are

We'll talk about it when I get back." After saying that, he jumped on the back of the horse parked outside the tent and rode away. In fact, he didn't think anything would happen. Now many small tribes that had nothing to do with him before were sent.

People came to his tent and asked to cooperate with him. Now

It can be said that everything is going well for him here. He is waiting for the Great Qin in the Central Plains to raise troops to invade after learning that his envoy was killed by Mao Dun. Then he can kill Mao Dun and the others from behind. Although Mao Dun

They should already know the relationship between themselves and the Qin people

Although they must not dare to send troops to harm themselves, after all, the other tribes on the grassland are not sure which side they will help. So he was in a good mood when he went out to hunt. When he rode out,

Dozens of guards were already following behind.

When dusk fell, Ye Ke returned to his camp with countless prey. As soon as he arrived at the gathering place of the tribe, he shouted loudly: "Come out and get the prey. You are really lucky today." Every time.

When he said this, it must be when he returned with a full load and was in a good mood. At that time, his subordinates would come out happily. But today they came out, but there was no trace of joy on their faces. It was strange.

He looked at them and said, "What's going on?"

One of his cronies, Wei Da, approached him and whispered: "Chief, there is news from the east, saying that two tribes that have joined forces with us were killed by a group of unknown people two days ago.

Not a single person from the entire tribe was left alive.”,

"What?" After hearing this shocking news, Ye Ke hurriedly jumped off his horse and led a group of subordinates into his tent. After sitting down, he asked: "This news is credible

? Don’t just listen to hearsay."

Those people nodded, and it was Navidad who said: "This news was witnessed by our people. The tents of the two tribes were filled with corpses, and the cattle and sheep were gone. If it weren't for some scattered herdsmen,

I went over there to get some food, but I’m afraid no one has noticed yet.”

Ye Ke touched his messy beard and said solemnly: "This should be what Moton sent people to do. Unfortunately, we have no evidence that it was his people who did it."

"Our people all know that this was because Mao Dun knew that they had joined forces with us, so they carried out the murderous act. But even if some people are suspicious, it cannot be believed by all the tribes on the grassland, and there are still some tribes who are pretenders.

We are supporters of Dun, and they won’t even listen to us,” one of them said.

Ye Ke's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he wanted to lead his troops to fight back against Maodun now, but he also knew that his current strength was not enough, so he had to endure it for now. After a while, he said: "You guys quickly send

Go to the tribes that have joined forces with us and ask them to be careful, and we ourselves need to send more manpower here to be on guard."

Several people nodded in agreement, and perhaps the only thing that could be done now was this. Ye Ke could only pray that the people in the Central Plains would quickly send troops to deal with Mao Dun, and then he could take action.

But the facts disappointed him. A few days passed without any news from the Central Plains. People from his own side kept coming to report that some of his friendly tribes had been attacked, and some of their entire clans had been wiped out.

There were also heavy casualties. In just half a month, seven or eight small tribes were attacked by a cavalry force.

When Ye Ke received the news again, he could no longer sit still. He suddenly drew his sword and said to the subordinates surrounding him: "It seems that Maodun will not give us a chance to grow. If we continue

If we let him continue like this, those who originally voted for us will lose trust in us and choose Maodun again. We can't bear it any longer. From today on, we will fight back and treat the little ones who are loyal to Maodun like they did.

Let’s take action and show him how powerful he is.”

These subordinates had already held their breath. They were all good at fighting but not very fond of using their brains. As soon as their leader said this, they agreed immediately, and then went to allocate their troops to prepare for a counterattack against Mao Dun.

"I think that Ye Ke must have been furious by now, right?" Mao Dun looked at the day shift who had brought the troops back with a relaxed look and smiled, "I really want to see how angry he is when he knows that his allies are being killed by me.

His face."

The day shift just smiled and didn't say much, but Ji Du said: "The Great Chanyu still needs to be careful about him. This wild guy might send someone to attack us."

"I was still hoping that he would bring people here, so that I would have the opportunity to send troops to deal with him legitimately." Mao Dun said nonchalantly. It was not that difficult for him to deal with Ye Ke's Dadu tribe.

.

"But I'm afraid that he will follow our example and send troops to attack other tribes. They are no match for the Dadu tribe." Ji Du said with concern.

The day shift chuckled and said, "Don't worry about this, Mr. Ji. When I came back, I had already left a lot of troops with some of our people near Dadu. It should be enough to protect them."

Ji Du glanced at him with some admiration: "General Bai is indeed brave and resourceful. He has thought of this so quickly." But then he said to Mao Dun, "Great Chanyu, only General Bai is here to stay.

The few men and horses I have deployed cannot really deal with the attack of the Dadu tribe, so I would like to ask the Great Chanyu to send more men and horses near the small tribes near the Dadu tribe, maybe there will be unexpected gains."

Mao Dun always obeyed Ji Du's advice, and this time was no exception. He nodded and said: "Okay, then I will suddenly take people there. Is five thousand men and horses enough?"

Ji read: "That's enough. I don't think the Dadu tribe will send all his troops to attack those tribes."

So not long after, thousands of men and horses walked out of Shanyu's tent, and they headed west without any delay.

In order to attack Maodun as soon as possible to make them angry, and because they had enough confidence in their own troops, the people Ye Ke sent this time were divided into three groups, with less than 2,000 people in each group.

These three groups of people raided three small tribes located near their own tribe at the same time. They were all people who had always had a bad relationship with Mo Dun.

The three groups of people set out from their camp under the cover of night. They thought that the enemy would be panicked when they arrived and would not be able to fight back, so they could go on a killing spree and then take away the women, property, and cattle.

The sheep were brought back to their own tribes, so they were full of murderous intent and confidence when they left.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived at a tribe, they were not greeted by panicked crowds and scattered herdsmen, but by groups of well-prepared warriors. The bows and arrows in their hands were fully drawn, and when they saw Dadu

When the people from the tribe appeared, they expressed their "welcome" with arrows all over the sky, and then hundreds of cavalry came out from behind, shouting and killing behind them.

These Datu warriors, who originally wanted to raid others, were suddenly attacked by the opponent. They were immediately thrown into disarray. In the panic, almost a centaur was killed by the enemy on the spot. The rest of the troops also completely lost the courage to fight and rushed wildly.

The dismounted war horse ran in the direction from which it came.

Go. The men and horses deployed by Maodun, who were well prepared, and the warriors of these small tribes followed closely behind, constantly using bows and arrows to shoot down the Dadu warriors who fell behind from their horses. When they ran back to themselves in panic

By the time we reached the camp, there were less than 500 people left.

After Ye Ke sent the three men out, he went back to his camp and hugged one of his concubines to sleep. Just as he was sleeping soundly, he suddenly heard the sound of people coming from outside.

It woke him up. He also slept for an unknown amount of time. He just thought that his people had returned from the victory, so he walked out of his tent to see what happened.

But the scene that appeared in front of him made him think that he was still in a dream. He saw that those mighty warriors were now unconscious, each of them was more or less injured, and their number was also reduced by half.

. He was shocked and asked: "What's going on? Where are the others?"

When those warriors saw their leader, their expressions were grim. One of the leaders said: "Chief, those tribes were actually prepared. They caught us by surprise as soon as we got there, and everyone else died in the battle.

Well, if the three of us hadn't bumped into each other on the way here, I'm afraid we would have been wiped out by the pursuers behind us." As he spoke, he cursed the enemies who had set up an ambush, and the others did the same.

When Ye Ke heard this, he almost fell down. He didn't expect that not only could he not give Mao Dun some lessons and revenge, but he also lost thousands of troops. How could he swallow this breath? He pulled out his knife and slashed the ground.

He chopped down on a horse not far from him. The horse fell to the ground with a scream and died soon. The anger in Ye Ke's eyes became more and more intense, and finally he suddenly

Randi waved his hand and said: "You all go down and have a rest. I will call all the people who support me tomorrow. I will send troops to deal with Mao Dun. I will fight Mao Dun in an upright manner to wash away what he gave me today."

Shame!" He said and walked back to his tent without looking back. Soon the people outside heard the woman's painful moans and Noko's heavy breathing coming from inside.

On the third day, the tribal leaders who had joined forces with the Dadu tribe came to the headquarters of the Dadu tribe one after another. Some of them had vaguely guessed the purpose of Ye Ke calling him here this time. A storm was just around the corner.
