Although five hundred people were not many, it was already a great surprise for Huo Yi, who was determined to follow his father's example.

After all, this is the first time he has seriously led an army alone.

"Okay, I will wait for your good news tomorrow. As long as I can climb the mountains on both sides, the victory will be determined."

Although the valley caused Feng Yong some trouble, he didn't care.

The worst I can do is lock you up in this valley for two months.

When the weather gets colder, if half of the people in the valley survive, I will lose!

Cold weather is the biggest enemy of the nomads, white disasters, lack of food, lack of things to keep out the cold, etc. Even in a normal year, which year does not kill people?

What's more, they also experienced a severe drought this time and did not have enough time to prepare food.

Can food be produced out of thin air by escaping to the valley?

That night, Jufu and Huo Yi each led five hundred men and went up the mountain with their coins in hand.

In the early morning, the Qiang people discovered the Han army building a camp and quickly sent troops to attack.

Jufu Huo Yi had the advantage in crossbows and arrows, and he stood firm in the camp.

The Qiang people found that they could not attack the camp of the two men, so they tried to block the water channels on the mountains on both sides.

When Feng Yong, who was guarding outside the entrance of the valley, saw this situation, he directly sent Zhang Ni and Mo Dao team up the water to attack the Qiang Hu who planned to cut off the water channel.

When the Qiang people saw the bright forest of knives, they rushed back to the valley before fighting. Hundreds of them fell directly into the water.

Feng Yong then drove his servant troops to press forward, and at the same time he sent troops from the east and west mountains to attack. Under the three-way attack, the Qiang people guarding the entrance of the valley fought independently, and there was no way to organize a unified resistance.

In the end, the Modao team attacked again and defeated the Qiang and Hu defenders head-on, forcing them to flee into the valley.

Feng Yong led the army slowly into the valley. The Qiang and Hu still tried to defend various dangerous points in the valley. However, in front of Zhang Ni, Jufu and Huo Yi, the stubborn resistance of the rebel Qiang was meaningless and was defeated at every turn.

So Feng Yong led his men and chased deep into the valley.

In the deepest part of the valley, there is a wide flat land where countless tents stand and countless cattle, horses, sheep and mules gather.

From a distance, it looks like a peaceful place independent of the troubled world.

But in fact, this originally peaceful land is now filled with anxiety and panic.

The usual laughter is gone.

The woman was counting her cattle and sheep over and over again, and counting the felt items in the tent.

Those items that are not commonly used have been tied tightly with straw ropes and can be picked up and taken away at any time.

The strong men of the tribe were sharpening their weapons carefully, or taking out their bone bows and arrows to count them clearly. Sometimes they looked to the south in confusion: I heard that the Han people had led a large army into the valley.

The largest tent in the middle was suddenly opened, and a tall Qiang man walked out of it with a gloomy face, and walked towards his tribe without looking back.

Behind him, more than ten people walked out one after another, all of them leaders of Qushuai from various tribes in the valley.

There was no smile on anyone's face.

The Qiang man who left first, Qu Shuai, returned to his tribe, beat several sheep slaves to vent his anger, and then issued an order: All tribesmen should pack up and leave here immediately early tomorrow morning to hide in the mountains to the east.

.

After hearing this, the woman quickly gathered the cattle and sheep, and at the same time packed up everything in the tent and put it on the horse.

When the man heard that he was about to head east, he couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He silently put away his weapons and got up to help clean up the camp.

"Zhi Shigu, do you really want to leave like this?"

When night fell, someone quietly found Qu Shuai, a Qiang man who was about to leave with his tribe, and asked.

"Chang Bai, you have also seen that Ye Mo'er still wants us to fight the Han people. If I don't leave, I'm afraid all the warriors in my clan will die here."

Zhi Shi Gu said with anger still lingering.

"But even if you escape to the mountains, how many people in your tribe can survive this winter?"

"Even if you can't survive, it's better than waiting to die here."

Zhi Shigu said with a sad face.

"Well, we don't have enough food to eat this year. The reason why we listened to that Ye Mo'er is to find enough food to survive this winter."

The visitor let out a long sigh, with the same frown on his face.

"I didn't expect that not only did we not find food, but many warriors in the clan died, and we were even forced to this point. If I had known better, I would have gone to the Han people in the first place!"

Take refuge with the Han people?

Zhi Shigu's expression changed and he glanced at the other party.

"I heard that the Han people in the south are very kind to us Qiang people. Have you ever heard of that Feng Langjun..."

The visitor didn't seem to notice the stone-bone healer's expression, and was still talking about the gossip he had heard, both true and false.

Some of them have been vaguely heard before, and some have become popular recently.

To be honest, everyone in the valley now feels a little regretful.

If you don't have enough to eat, you will rebel against him. If you have enough, you will go to the Han people again, and the Han people will make arrangements for you. Then you will rebel again when you don't have enough to eat and you really can't bear it anymore.

Over the years, everyone has been doing this over and over again.

It's only in the past few years that things have become more stable.

Because a god-like official appeared among the Han people, who not only knew the situation among their people in advance, but also dealt with them fairly and tried his best to appease them.

So Ye Mo'er said he wanted to avenge Governor Guo, and everyone agreed.

Anyway, the worst thing is that in the end, the whole family will be attached to each other like before.

Presumably, the Han people who had just taken over Longyou would not do anything to them. At most, they would just move them to another place.

Unexpectedly, things developed beyond everyone's expectations.

The Han people's reaction was very strong. After the drought, they were still able to send troops immediately.

What is even more unexpected is that the Qiang people in the west did not react when the drought hit Longyou. They even completely surrendered to the Han people and raised their swords against them who were of the same race.

What about being together as promised? The tacit understanding for so many years is gone at the last word?

"It's true that Governor Guo can treat us fairly, but I heard that Feng Langjun is better. He has been taught by the mountain god, so the tribes in Tianshui are willing to obey him..."

"But we have already turned against you..."

"We were just deceived by Ye Mo'er. Feng Langjun is broad-minded and won't blame us."

At this moment, all kinds of gossip came together, and these barbarians who had reached the last moment couldn't help but force themselves to imagine a country bumpkin with a glorious image in their hearts.

Ah, no, it’s Feng Langjun.

Because this can anesthetize yourself and make you feel like you are grasping at the last straw.

"Then what do we do now?"

"Ye Mo'er still insists on going his own way..."
