Luojian, Caiqiaotan, West Bank.

Zhai Bin, who has frosty white hair and can't open his eyes, is riding on a tall mount, with slightly squinted eyes, staring at a mile away, under the moonlight, the Beifu sergeants who are reflected in the light all over their bodies, embroidered with flying leopards on three sides, the flags of the big bear and the horned deer fluttering in the air, and behind the formation, a banner embroidered with teeth and claws hanging the white-eyed tiger down the mountain, solemn and unmoving, occasionally there is a breeze blowing, the tiger's blood-red tongue, terrifying.

A nearly sixty-year-old, medium-sized old man, wrapped in a sheepskin jacket all over his body, is Zhai Bin's eldest nephew Zhai Zhen, Zhai Bin has no children in his life, this eldest nephew is his heir, because Zhai Bin is nearly eighty years old, he has already been in a state of semi-retirement, and the affairs of the clan are mostly handled by Zhai Zhen, but this southern expedition is related to the future of the Zhai tribe, Zhai Bin disregarded his advanced age, and personally joined the expedition, but at this moment, this battle-hardened old fox has been from the direction of the camp The sky-rushing fire and killing sound, as well as the screams in the language, can guess the battle situation there, what is even more terrifying is that a Beifu army of more than 1,000 people has already appeared in front of him, maybe the Zhai Ding Ling tribe has reached the most dangerous time.

Zhai Zhen gritted his teeth and looked around, nearly 10,000 troops, at this time it has been divided into two divisions, more than 2,000 people are still blocking the water, guarding against the Jin army that may surprise on the opposite side, and the main force of 8,000 has turned to the north and laid a position against these Beifu troops, but almost every Ding Ling soldier's face is full of fear and uneasiness, and the scream that drifts in the wind from the north is obviously from the Qin army dominated by the Di people, and every one of them makes these Ding Ling soldiers tremble, the surging stream, It also sounds a bit like a galloping horse.

Zhai Bin sighed softly, closed his eyes, and muttered, "Could it be that this time, our Ding Ling tribe is really going to be all folded here?" ”

Zhai Zhen hurriedly said: "No, uncle, it's not like this, it's really not good, we can run." Where there is life, there is hope. ”

Zhai Bin opened his eyes, and a fine light flashed, stabbing Zhai Zhen directly: "Is it your Sima Xianyu begging idea for you again?" Hmph, I told you a long time ago that this kid harbors evil intentions and has a bad stomach, which is not a good disaster. This time, we will follow the Qin army to the south, and now we will fall into this situation! ”

Zhai Zhen sighed: "You can't blame Sima for this, who would have expected that Liang Cheng's 40,000 elites would not be able to stop the attack of the Jin army?" Listening to this momentum, the Beifu army is afraid that the whole army will be dispatched, and the Heavenly King will not be able to catch up for a while, and the only thing we can do now is to save ourselves. ”

Zhai Zhen's side, a big man in his forties with a full face, is Zhai Zhen's son Zhai Liao, his voice is as violent as a jackal, and he doesn't know whether he is talking or quarreling, and he roared in a rough voice: "Ah Da, don't increase the morale of others and destroy your own prestige, these Beifu soldiers seem to be only more than a thousand people, and if we beat him one of the eight, we may not lose." Even if we can't beat it, we can evacuate. How can it be called self-help? ”

Zhai Bin scolded angrily: "Little rabbit, shut up!" How many battles have you fought? It's blowing the air right here. On the battlefield, one elite soldier can be a hundred, and a hundred dung egg soldiers can't beat one person. Look at the equipment, formation, and murderous spirit of others, can we beat it? ”

Zhai Liao was still not convinced, and hooked the corners of his mouth: "I don't think these Jin troops are anything great, please ask grandpa to give an order, let his grandson bring two hundred warriors to rush at him, and he can't beat him." ”

Zhai Zhen also said in a deep voice: "Ah Da, this kid still has some courage, why don't you let them rush first?" ”

Zhai Bin's brows furrowed, and he shook his head: "No, now these Jin troops have arrived on the battlefield, but they have not attacked, it stands to reason that the victorious army, fighting our troops with floating military hearts, should be as fast as possible, but they haven't fought yet, it looks a little strange, let's not take the initiative to attack, Zhai Liao, you go and check if there are any Jin army ambushes on our original evacuation route, and, Zhai Zhen, gather all the horses and let my Zhai clan children ride, once there is a change, even if this army does not want, our Zhai family, Gotta rush out, too. ”

Zhai Liao muttered and rode away, while Zhai Zhen sighed: "Ah Da, it's not that the child said you, these more than 10,000 are strong, but most of the Ding men in the tribe, if this battle is lost, then our tribe will be in a state of collapse, are you really willing to do it?" ”

A cold glint flashed in Zhai Bin's eyes: "You kid knows a fart!" When the Shizhao Empire ended, your tribe was even worse than now, not only did the men die, but there were not even a few women and children left, but I myself took more than 2,000 people to escape, and finally relied on robbing the house and robbing the displaced people in the troubled times and the people who pulled down the tribe, and regained their vitality. These clansmen are not as important as our Zhai clan's life, as long as we have our own lives in the future, there will always be a day when we will rebuild the tribe, but if our own lives are gone, then they will also join other people's tribes or countries and become other people's tribesmen, what does it have to do with us? ”

Zhai Zhen was stunned when he heard this: "Ah Da, why didn't you tell the child before." ”

Zhai Bin sighed: "That's because the world has been peaceful all these years, and our tribe has not faced such a crisis." Therefore, you should stay away from that Xianyu beggar, he is an outsider, and his ideas may not be from our point of view, only our surname Zhai is our own relatives. ”

Zhai Zhen gritted his teeth: "Understood." Ah Da, I'll go to find the horse now, and when the time comes, I'll leave the tribe behind, and we'll slip away first, how about it?" ”

Zhai Bin shook his head: "Don't worry, if you really fight, I don't think this Jin army is going to kill us, maybe, we throw all the treasures we have stolen here, in exchange for us to retreat!" By the way, I heard that there are a lot of homeless people in the Beifu army, these guys have dealt with us before, that Liu Yu, who has come to our tribe before, I heard that he has mixed well there, if God opens his eyes and makes this surnamed Liu happen to be the general of this army, then we will be saved! ”

Zhai Zhen laughed: "Ah Da, don't have this dream, didn't that Murong Lin say it last time, Liu Yu has lost Shouchun, and now he has been demoted to a small soldier, how can he be a general!" You might as well count on him to rely on it, Wei Yongzhi. ”

A hint of disappointment flashed in Zhai Bin's eyes: "Alas, I can't dream of it." ”

While he was talking, a person came from the direction of the Jin army, with his head held high, and said loudly: "The old man Tan is relying on it, please ask the leader of Zhai Bin to show up!" ”
