"The last victory", this is the name taken by Zhao Hongrun himself, which means "the last battle with the Karma Horn Army that can be called the victory of the war", its purpose is to severely damage the Karma Horn cavalry, so that in the composition of the Karma Horn Army, the ratio of the Karma cavalry and the Karma slave soldiers is out of balance, so that Zhao Hongrun can later use the strategy of luring and rebelling against the Karma slave soldiers to destroy the main force of the Karma tribe in one go.

Of course, for this to happen, you have to have the support of 'those people'.

That is, on the sheepskin that Lu Balon had given to Zhao Hongrun, the list of people confessed by the former's younger brother Gaqihan before his death, and the people of the Qiang tribes who were resistant to the Wei army and still hoped to resolve the conflict with the Qiangjiao, or even took refuge in the Qiangjiao.

In the evening of the same day, after discussing the military and having enough food and drink, Wu Wu, the young patriarch of the Qingyang tribe, left the table with his sister Una very interestingly, because he got a hint from Zhao Hongrun's eyes and realized that this was what Zhao Hongrun didn't want his Wuwu's sister Una to see what was going on in this felt tent next.

After all, how the three clans of Xuan, Xuan, and Xuan treated traitors, Wuwu knew this matter better than Zhao Hongrun.

After waiting for the Wuwu and Una brothers and sisters to leave the table, Lu Baron, the patriarch of the Lun tribe of the Qiang tribe, asked someone to secretly bring three of the leaders of those people to the felt tent.

"Alas......

Meng Liang, the patriarch of the Meng tribe of the Yi clan, and Xu Dan, the patriarch of the 'Xu clan' tribe, sighed secretly.

Why sigh? It was nothing more than the leaders in the tent who were tied with ropes, and one of them was the leader of their tribe.

However, Qi Muke, the patriarch of the Gray Sheep tribe of the Qiang tribe, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, after all, there was also a leader in his clan who was involved in this conspiracy, but for some reason, Lu Balon did not order someone to bring it.

The three leaders are all the leaders of the Yi tribe, the Lun clan, the Meng clan, and the Xu clan, just one in one tribe.

"His Royal Highness King Su." Turning around and saluting Zhao Hongrun, Lu Balon said expressionlessly: "My Lun's Sain, Meng's Alu, and Xu's Shuerha, three...... A traitor to the Horns. ”

Hearing this, the two patriarchs, Meng Liang and Xu Dan, sighed silently again.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun only nodded slightly, and did not intend to interfere, after all, this matter is a bit sensitive.

"I'll leave it to you."

Zhao Hongrun gestured to Lu Balon with a look.

Lu Balon understood, in fact, he was inclined to do so, even if it was a betrayer, it was a clansman, if Zhao Hongrun called the Shang Shui Army to punish these three people, even if the tribal patriarchs present did not say anything, they would definitely feel a little uncomfortable in their hearts.

But if Lu Balon, Meng Liang, and Xu Dan solve it in person, this is called cleaning up the portal, and this is the rule.

Sain ......

Lubaron took off the cloth from Sain's mouth, looked at him with a complicated expression, and said melancholy: "A few days ago, you and Gachihan (Lubaron's brother) said that we could not hold back the army of Kahka, and concluded that we would be defeated. But now, the Bitatu of Kajiao has lost three battles and three times in my city, and it is the end of the road, do you still insist on your conclusion? ”

Saine opened his mouth, a hint of panic on his face.

In fact, it is no wonder, after all, how many people would have thought that the more than 200,000 Qianjiao troops would be defeated again and again under the joint efforts of the 30,000 Wei army and the Qijiao warriors?

"Patriarch, it's me who is wrong, it's me who is wrong, you can spare me. …… King Su, you are far-sighted, and I, Sain, know that I am wrong, so I beg you to let the patriarch spare me. Sain begged for mercy repeatedly, but seeing that Lu Balon was indifferent, he turned his head to look at Zhao Hongrun and begged for mercy.

Although Zhao Hongrun could understand the language, he had decided to hand over the matter to Lu Balon, how could he interfere without permission, so he picked up the croissant and pretended to drink, pretending not to hear.

At this time, Lubaron also stopped Sain's plea for mercy.

"Shut up! …… Sain, you should know what kind of punishment will be given to traitors. ”

Upon hearing this, Sain's face turned red for some reason, and he eagerly explained: "No, no, patriarch, I have never had the idea of betraying the tribe or betraying the patriarch, whether it is me, or the patriarch Your younger brother Gaqihan, we just hope that the tribe can multiply and grow......"

"Shut up!" Lu Balon shouted in a deep voice: "Even if you didn't betray the tribe, but your actions with Gaqihan betrayed the 'Shui Alliance', betrayed King Su, and betrayed the twenty-three patriarchs here...... Traitors should be punished with "death"! ”

Hearing about the "punishment", Sain swallowed his saliva, and his face showed a little fear.

This made Zhao Hongrun a little curious.

Later, he learned that "Shu Punishment" was one of the heavy punishments of the Sanchuan tribe, that is, tying criminals to wood and letting the aggressive lamb pierce the abdomen with its horns.

The cruelty lies in the fact that a person who is pierced in the abdomen does not die immediately, he will go through hunger, thirst, pain, and eventually blood to death.

What's even more cruel is that even after the man's death, he will still be on the wooden frame for a few days as a warning to the rest of the people.

It can be called torture.

No, when he thought of the cruelty of the "Punishment", Sain's face turned a little pale even if he was a strong man.

He was more afraid of this punishment than he was afraid of death, because in the customs and culture of the Qiang people, a person who was killed by a sheep would not be protected by the gods of the plateau after death.

After all, in the culture of the Qiang people, the image of the god of the plateau is the god of the sheep's head and the human body.

Probably thinking that after his death, he would become a lonely ghost and wander in the sky, unable to return to the arms of the highland gods, Sain's legs were weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground, but fortunately, Lu Balon's eyes were quick and grabbed his arm.

"Do you want to atone for your sins?" Lubaron asked.

Hearing this, Sain nodded repeatedly.

Seeing this, Lu Baron said in a deep voice: "If you want to atone for your sins, tonight, you leave the city and go to the army of the horns outside the city, and lure Bitatu to the city, so that we can capture and kill him." …… If you succeed, His Royal Highness King Su will grant you the opportunity to die, and you will not have to suffer the pain of 'torture', and your wife and children can still continue to live in Sanchuan, and I will take care of them for you. Otherwise, you will die under the "torture", and your wife and children will also be implicated by you and expelled from Sanchuan......"

"Patriarch......" Sain looked at Lubaron in disbelief.

Probably guessing Sain's thoughts, Lu Balon shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Don't blame me for being ruthless, now I am not only responsible for my Lun clan, but also responsible for the 'Shui Alliance', and I will not ......open up to you just because you are a clansman" Speaking of this, he glanced at Sain deeply, and said in a complicated tone: "This is your last chance, take advantage of it." Gatchhan, there is no such opportunity......"

Hearing this, the patriarchs present all glanced at Lu Baron.

I have to say that they were surprised that Lu Balon was surprised by the fact that he had fornicated with his own brother Gaqihan of the Karma people, and in addition to being surprised, no one accused Lu Balon of insulting other patriarchs for fornicating with the Karma people at that time, and they also gave understanding and support to Zhao Hongrun's reuse of Lu Balon.

Probably thinking of the end of Lubaron's own brother Gachihan, Sain gritted his teeth and nodded stubbornly.

He then asked, "If Bitatu sees through my intentions, then ......?"

"......" Lu Balon frowned when he heard this, and after a little hesitation, he turned his head to look at Zhao Hongrun, asking for the latter's opinion.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun said in the Qiang language: "If the deeds are revealed, your family will have their own Lu Balong patriarch to settle down for you." ”

Thinking about it, if the deeds are revealed, Sain will not be able to come out of the Karma Army alive, and he will inevitably be killed by Bitatu, and Zhao Hongrun will naturally not implicate his family.

Hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Lu Balon's eyes, and then he said to Sain in a deep voice: "Did you hear that? ”

"Hmm." Sain nodded and glanced at Zhao Hongrun with a complicated expression.

After half a ring, he hesitated and asked Lu Balon, "Patriarch, if I succeed in luring Bitatu and the warriors of his tribe to the city, will I be able to return to the tribe?" ”

"Don't get an inch!" Lu Balon shouted, "You should know that the Lun clan will not accommodate a traitor as a clansman!" ”

Sain opened his mouth and said firmly, "Even if I am a slave, I want to return to the tribe!" ”

Lu Baron was stunned, opened his mouth for a long time, and finally said melancholy: "Wait until you come back alive...... Let's talk about it. ”

Perhaps sensing that Lubaron was showing signs of relenting in his heart, Sain's face was full of joy for the rest of his life.

After that, Meng Liang, the patriarch of the Meng tribe, and Xu Dan, the patriarch of the Xu tribe, also personally asked the leader of the tribe, and the two leaders expressed their willingness to atone for their sins, and made a plea to Sain: If he can come back alive, even if he is a slave, he hopes to stay in the tribe, and does not want to be driven out of the tribe and Sanchuan.

Afterwards, accompanied by Lu Balon, Meng Liang, Xu Dan and others, Zhao Hongrun personally told Sain, Alu, and Shuerha how to deceive Bitatu's trust.

After repeatedly telling the three of them to keep it in mind, Zhao Hongrun asked someone to fetch wine and meat, and let the three of them have a full meal, so that the three of them left the city in the dark and went to the camp of the Jiaojiao Army.

Around midnight, the three of Sain encountered a patrolling cavalry in the countryside and were taken by the latter to Bitatu's felt tent.

Bitatu was very surprised by the arrival of these three people.

Although he had long known that there were people who were kind to him in the Qiang and Qiang tribes of Luocheng, otherwise, there was a cavalry of the Lun tribe at the beginning, and they would not have quietly revealed to him the events of those days in Luocheng.

But what makes Bitatu suspicious is that his current situation is quite precarious, and he has long lost the majesty he had when he came half a month ago, why did these few people of the Shan tribe still sneak out of the city to have a private meeting with him?

In front of Bitatu, who looked suspicious, Sain and the other three talked about their plans.

"Patriarch Bitatu, we have found out that the Wei army is not able to manipulate the heavenly fire, it is a kind of oil called 'fierce fire oil' by the Wei people, and now, the Wei people have piled up these fierce fire oil in the city and sent heavy troops to guard it. As long as we sneak in and set it on fire, the Wei people in the city will definitely be in chaos, and when the time comes, we will take the opportunity to open the west city gate and put in the cavalry of the Qianjiao tribe, and the Wei people will definitely die! ”

『……』

Looking at the three people who were talking eloquently, Bitatu was silent.

In all fairness, he didn't really believe the words of these three people, but the problem was that he was helpless about the terrible situation he was in at the moment, and the tribe was almost torn apart.

What if the other party is sincere?

Wouldn't it be possible to use this battle to completely regain the disadvantage?

Thinking of this, Bitatu couldn't help but feel a little excited.

He probably couldn't have imagined that Zhao Hongrun knew the gambler's psychology when he was at a disadvantage, so he would resort to fraud in the precarious situation of Bitatu, in order to completely knock him off the cliff and make it difficult for him to turn over! (To be continued.) )
