Chapter 423 Tragic Life
Having been wandering the Xianbei grassland for more than a month, Zhang Fei and Zang Yi have also attacked several Xianbei tribes, and of course have an accurate judgment on the scale of the Xianbei tribe.
They had spotted two days ago that tonight's target was a large Xianbei tribe, and they were also mentally prepared that there might be about 30,000 enemy troops inside.
But to their surprise, just as they were thinking about how they could take down the Xianbei camp in front of them with the slightest loss.
Suddenly, the arrival of several other Xianbei tribes disrupted Zhang Fei's plan.
Seeing that there were more and more tribes gathered, Zhang Fei and Zang Yi couldn't help but give up the target of attacking, after all, the attackability of this target at this time was already very small.
If they are not careful, it is possible to lose all their old capital, and of course they know this very well.
But just when they were about to give up, an unexpected accident happened and made them change their minds.
This discovery was discovered by Zhang Fei's lieutenant general, and yesterday was the last reconnaissance he led the team, originally thinking that this was just a routine investigation.
But what he didn't expect was that just as they were about to leave, he suddenly saw two people from the Xianbei tribe fighting with each other.
At first, it was just two Xianbei people, and I don't know why there was a dispute, but soon these two guys who were arguing with red ears began to draw knives against each other.
After one person hacked the other to death on the spot, the brawl began to devolve into a large-scale fight.
The number of participants ranged from one or two at the beginning, to the last two tribes' men.
If it weren't for the fact that in the end, the patriarch of this large tribe was alarmed, this weapon fight would not have stopped at all, and even if this clan chief came forward, the two sides of the weapon fight would have suffered a lot of losses.
The adjutant general roughly counted the deaths on both sides of the brawl to more than 300 people, and the number of injured people directly exceeded 1,000.
At that time, the eyes of the deputy general burst out with a strange look, and he immediately took someone back and reported the situation to Zhang Fei and Zang Yi.
Zhang Fei and Zang Yi's war wisdom should definitely not be underestimated, and as soon as the two of them heard that such a situation had occurred on the other side, the two of them came up with a bold idea almost at the same time.
Then the two of them, along with their generals, began to get busy.
During this period of time, Zhang Fei and them not only captured several Xianbei tribes, but also rescued many Han slaves when they attacked a large Xianbei tribe.
Most of these slaves have been plundered to the prairie by the Xianbei people in the past ten years, and they are always thinking about when they will be able to return home.
However, the weakness of the Han army made them feel that returning home was an illusory expectation.
After more than ten years of slave life, most of the Han people who were plundered fell forever on the prairie.
But there are still some people who are strong enough to survive, and their greatest happiness every day is to look at their hometown when the Xianbei people are not paying attention.
Only in this way can they remember their hometown and that they are Han Chinese.
Not long ago, they had heard the news that the Han army had entered the prairie.
At that time, the minds of these Han people began to move, and they hoped every day that the Han army could kill their tribe as soon as possible and save them from the dire situation.
The days that followed can be described as years of life.
But the emperor lived up to his wishes, they still waited for the arrival of the Han army and killed all the Xianbei people who treated them like pigs and dogs.
At this moment, all the Han people who were plundered were in tears, and they knelt down in front of the horses of Zhang Fei and Zang Yi, lying on the ground and crying bitterly.
When Zhang Fei and Zang Yi saw this scene, they also felt that their noses were a little sour, they had heard that there were Han compatriots in the prairie before.
But among the tribes they had conquered before, they did not find any trace of the existence of Han Chinese.
At that time, they thought that all the Han people who had been plundered had been poisoned.
But they didn't expect that today, they accidentally rescued nearly 500 of their kind.
Looking at these crying compatriots in front of him, an iron man like Zhang Fei also became heavy.
In this way, a full hour passed, and the Han people who were plundered were all vented their grievances.
Then they strongly demanded to join the army of Zhang Fei and others.
This made Zhang Fei and Zang Yi very puzzled, it stands to reason that these people are the biggest victims of the war, isn't their biggest wish now to stay away from the war?
After questioning Zhang Fei and others, they learned that the reason why these people wanted to join the army so strongly was because each of them had some unforgettable hatred with the Xianbei people.
Some of them were parents who died at the hands of the Xianbei people, and some of them were wives and children who died at the hands of the Xianbei people.
What's more, a large part of the people, the whole family, died in the hands of the Xianbei people.
In addition, after they witnessed how those of their fellow tribes who were plundered were abused to death, the seeds of hatred had long been planted in their hearts.
They had also thought about resisting before, but the sum of them was more than 3,000 people even at their peak.
More than 3,000 hungry and cold slaves, facing tens of thousands of elite Xianbei cavalry, if they dare to resist, then there is only one way to die.
As more and more of the plundered people of their own clan died of torture, their hope of revolting became less and less.
Until in the end, they were completely powerless to resist the atrocities of the Xianbei people!
Today's arrival of the Han army gave them hope for revenge, and they asked to join Zhang Fei and Zang Yi's army to avenge their dead relatives and friends!
This made Zhang Fei and Zang Yi very embarrassed, and they understood the feelings of these fellow clans who were swept to the grassland.
But if you agree to let them join your own army, it is not only irresponsible to them, but also to your own subordinates.
After all, their subordinates are all elites who have gone through countless battles.
Once some untrained and weak people are recruited, it will cause the combat effectiveness of their troops to plummet.
Besides, these people's bodies have been severely deficient, which is not something that can be replenished in a day or two, and if you want to make up for the deficit, it is not something that ordinary food can do.
These people must use some precious medicinal materials to slowly recuperate, and it is best to be able to rest in bed for a year and a half, so that their bodies can return to normal.
Therefore, these people are absolutely not suitable to join their own army.
Just when Zhang Fei and Zang Yi were in a dilemma, they suddenly saw these people rushing in one direction like crazy.
Zhang Fei and Zang Yi turned their heads and found that it was their subordinates who were escorting some Xianbei captives and walking in this direction.
And the targets of those who were plundered by the same clan were these Xianbei captives!
