"How dare I be careless about the survival of our clan?" Meng Gao looked bitter, "This army is not human, they are devils, and envoys from hell. King Meng's most powerful elephant soldiers are irresistible in front of them. In a short time, King Meng's elephant soldiers fell halfway. And their infantry had not yet entered the battlefield. If King Meng had not run fast, I was afraid that after this battle, we would be the only one of the high mountain tribes in the five western counties."

The room was as quiet as death. The old Qiang Lao was hunched even more severely at this time. He collapsed on the chair and shrank into a ball. His eyes showed a look of despair. The sound of gasping like a bellows passed by. Meng Gang, who had been shouting the most fiercely, was standing in the corner of the wall, his face as pale as paper.

Everyone had a glory and despair on their faces. The great opportunity they thought was a cliff. Although they had not taken this last step, they belonged to the mountain clan. If Meng Fei waited for the end, how could they survive?

"Captain, what should we do?" After a while, a desperate voice sounded in the room, "If you go to fight, it's not that your opponent will die, but if you don't go to fight, you will huddle on Yuema Mountain. Will these Dayue people let us go? We were so arrogant to the Brief Sayings back then, they were still alive and killing us, and asked for it!"

Meng Xiang took a deep breath. He was half-believing and half-doubted about the information given to him by Ma Yigong, but his fear of the strength of the Great Yue people and his cautious nature made him decide to be careful. He originally thought that if the army Ma Yigong really had been there, Meng Fei might have failed, but he never expected that he would be defeated so miserably, with more than 10,000 people. He was actually defeated by five hundred cavalry. As Meng Ji said, are these people still humans?

"Meng Gao. Have you found out clearly? Where did this army come from?" he asked bitterly.

"My son has found out clearly. The army comes from Anqing, the commander is Yun Zhao, who rides a big dark horse, and this cavalry is led by him."

Meng Xiang gasped. Yun Zhao knew that when Ma Yigong was a business friend, he had heard the deeds of this youngest fourth-rank general in Dayue from Ma Yigong's mouth. He heard that it was against the Mongolian army for many years. He had not fallen behind at all. Meng Xiang was completely desperate. It was an army that crawled out of hell!

"Everyone!" Meng Xiang stood up and looked at everyone, "Fortunately, we have not taken action yet, which has left us a glimmer of life. I still have some friendship with the people of Dayue. I will do my best to protect our Chima tribe, leave some seeds for my high mountain tribe, even if I give my life because of this."

"Class leader, will the Dayue people let us go? After all, that Ma Yigong is just a businessman, and you only have friendship with him. With the Dayue people, the merchants do not have much say!" someone whispered.

"The only way to do this is to treat the dead horse as a living horse!" Meng Xiang said. "The village should also prepare for war, raise the fortress, prepare more rolling stones and wood, and mobilize the whole clan. If the people of Dayue insist on not letting us go, they can only defend the village and rely on the steepness of our village to fight to the death with them."

"Yes, patriarch!" Thinking of the tragic war that might come, everyone looked tragic. This was the scene they feared the most. There were about 20,000 people in the Gaoshan tribe in Chima County, and most of them gathered around Yuema Mountain, but the village could only accommodate thousands of people at most. Once the Dayue people came, most of the Gaoshan tribe members would face killing. "Green, strong, children, and strong women gathered in the village. All the elderly over fifty years old left the village and made room for them." Meng Xiang said sadly, "I hope these arrangements will never be used."

Everyone looked miserable. Thinking that the parents and mothers at home were over fifty years old and had to leave the village and wait for the death, they all looked unbearable.

Mr. Qiang stood up from the chair tremblingly, "Axiang is right. Anyone over fifty years old has to leave. After I go back, I will pack up my things and leave the village immediately."

"Old Qiang, you are respected and respected. I still point at you to suppress me in the village!" Meng Xiang said: "You must stay!"

Mr. Qiang shook his head, "I am old and useless. My knowledge is far less than you. If it weren't for you, we would have perished at this time, and you would never have to rely on me anymore. I have decided to go down the mountain immediately. With me taking the lead, others will not make you embarrassed."

A low crying sound came from the room.

Meng Xiang was confused for a moment.

"Class leader, patriarch!" A soldier of the Gaoshan tribe ran in panting, "Da Yue people, Da Yue people!"

Everyone in the room stood up suddenly, "Da Yue people, will they come so soon?"

The soldiers were a little surprised at the atmosphere in the house. The adults reacted too much. They were stunned for a moment before saying, "Class leader, a group of Dayue people came from outside the village. The leader was a housekeeper of the Ma family. He had also come to the village before and collected our mountain goods. He said he had something to ask for a meeting with the patriarch."

Meng Xiang felt excited, and at the same time, a burst of hope rose. At this time, it was Ma Yigong's housekeeper, not the Great Vietnamese army. Does it mean that there is still a turning point in the matter?

"Please, please, no, I'll go and greet them. Everyone follows me and go and greet them together." Meng Xiang said loudly.

Ma Youcai is Ma Yigong's steward. He has followed Ma Yigong to the village of the high mountain tribe in Yuema Mountain many times before. He is familiar with him. He used to be a businessman, but his identity is very different today. His master is now a member of the Anqing border army. General Yun Zhao, the general of Xuanwei, was highly valued with the military aircraft. His status has also increased. Now standing outside the village, he feels the change in his identity and feels a sense of pride. The master is amazing. He has brought the Ma family smooth sailing and climbed up step by step over the years.

He glanced at a man in a cloth behind him, and couldn't help but feel envious. The man in front of him was young and was already alone in front of General Xuanwei, holding great power. It can be said that the fate of the Chima village is now in the hands of the young man in front of him.

A loud horn sounded suddenly in the village, and Ma Youcai was startled. Amid the sound of ox horns and drums, the closed gate opened wide, and a large number of high-mountain tribes led by Meng Xiang came out in a row. When he saw it, Ma Youcai was shocked. All the people with status in the high-mountain tribe of Yuemashan tribe came. When he came to do business, he could occasionally see one or two, but gathering together like now was beyond his expectations.

"Butler Ma, you have always been good, but Mr. Yigong is okay?" Meng Xiang smiled and asked with his fists. "Last time Mr. Ma gave Jiyi in person, I benefited a lot from Yuema Mountain. I was about to thank Mr. Yigong in person!"

Ma Youcai immediately understood that the result of Gaoyang's battle had reached Yuema Mountain. He immediately raised his chest and said proudly: "I am worried about it. My master is fine. Now my master is already a general Xuanwei, and he is a military officer and a counselor of the military aircraft. He is very important to General Xuanwei."

"Are you serious?" Meng Xiang was surprised and happy. Ma Yigong became an army member of the Anqing border army. He had a high status but was highly valued. He had no friendship with him. He sent the housekeeper to come in person. It seemed that there was great potential for this matter. "I wonder if I can go to see Mr. Yigong?"

Ma Youcai smiled and said, "Is Clan Chief Meng because of Gaoyang's affairs? General Yun was very angry when the Gaoshan tribe rebelled!"

A layer of cold sweat immediately oozed out of Meng Xiang's body, "Butler Ma, Meng Fei does not know the general trend and does not know the power. He launched a rebellion. I, a member of the Yuemashan, was loyal to Dayue and did not participate. I have to ask Mr. Yigong to wait for Chen Yan for me!"

Ma Youcai laughed and said, "It is precisely because of this that I came to Yuema Mountain. Otherwise, the one who came today would not be me, but General Yun's cavalry."

Meng Xiang's forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat. "That's right, that's right, I, a member of Yuemashan, would never participate in such a big beheading."

Ma Youcai smiled and said, "Captain Meng, I am just a servant. I don't understand these military and national affairs. Come on, I will introduce someone to you. It's better for you to discuss these things." He turned around and looked at the person behind him, and smiled at Meng Xiang and said, "Captain Meng, this is a general under General Yun, Lord Quan Yifeng!"

Meng Xiang's body shook, and he looked at the young man who was wearing a cloth clothes and stood behind Ma Youcai quietly, bent down deeply, "Meng Xiang, the Chima Mountain tribe of the Gaoshan tribe, has seen Lord Quan."

A faint smile appeared on Quan Yifeng's face, "Mr. Meng doesn't have to be too polite. This time, the Gaoshan tribe in the five western counties rebelled, General Yun was deeply furious. Now Meng Fei has been defeated by our army in Gaoyang. The rest of his troops fled to Chenghua, Gu'an and other places in panic. Our general is dispatching troops to annihilate them in one fell swoop. Clan Meng is very wise in this matter and has not participated in this battle. Our general admires it very much. Therefore, I, Yuemashan and his party, discussed the aftermath with Clan Meng. The Gaoshan tribe in the five western counties, are in the same spirit. Although the Yuemashan tribe in the five western counties have not participated directly, it is probably difficult to get rid of the relationship. Clan Meng should understand this truth?"

Meng Xiang was frightened, "I understand, I understand, what General Yun has given me what he ordered, and I follow all my advice. I only beg General Yun to open a side so that I can't be implicated by Meng Fei and others."

"Whether I am implicated depends on the result of the negotiations with Chief Meng this time. The opportunity is in the hands of the leader himself. How to do it depends on the leader!" Quan Yifeng said with a smile.

"Yes, Lord Quan, please come to the village. Meng has prepared some water and wine. We will discuss it in detail."

"Please!" Quan Yifeng nodded, and did not give in. He took a step forward and walked into the village. (To be continued...)
