While Ni Yi killed the rebels, the rest of the Xianbei spies were already surrounded. He said that he was a spy, but in fact he was just an ordinary shepherd with more dexterity in the nearby tribes. What fell in Ni Yi's eyes were several young people in thatched camouflage and ragged clothes, including a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.

Ni Yi carried a big axe that was still dripping blood, and urged the horse to come to them, and the fierce look suddenly shocked them all to retreat. Immediately, the soldiers of the Jin army behind him unceremoniously stabbed forward with their guns, forcing them all back to their original places.

Ni Yi waved his hand, and a Wuhuan cavalry who was in the army in Dai Di flashed behind him.

The experience of struggling for thousands of miles to survive has taught Ni Yi a lot. Since he devoted himself to the war in Daijun, he has spent a lot of effort learning Hu language, and he has been able to talk briefly with the Wuhuan people in the past few days. It is a pity that the origin of the Xianbei language is complicated, although it is from the same Donghu language family as the Wuhuan language, there are many differences in the details, and they have no native language to figure out, so Ni Yi's learning progress is extremely slow, and at this time the Hu subordinates still need to come forward.

"We are not enemies, we are friends of Yilu Dadanyu, to help him put an end to his rebellion. Take us to the tribe, and we will levy your troops. But if we refuse our request......" The Wuhuan cavalryman coughed lightly and pointed to the tragic corpse that was still twitching not far away: "Just like him." ”

Several Xianbei people apparently understood. They ignored the Wuhuan people, and instead looked up at the fierce Jin man who had easily slain their companion. And Ni Yi looked down at them condescendingly, his eyes full of eager killing intent.

They read that right.

Ni Yi placed the long-handled axe horizontally in front of the saddle and looked at the people steadily. He tried his best to imitate Lu Yao's usual cold demeanor, but there was an irrepressible sense of excitement in his chest. For so many years, I was like a lowly wild dog, insulted by others. Although he tried his best to hone his martial arts and courage, he was never taken seriously. Every day, he ate grass bran and used wooden sticks, and was wantonly driven to fight for those high princes and officials with his life. Or kill people, or be killed, and live a miserable life. But now, as the leader of the cavalry under General Ying Yang, he is no longer the same as the poor beggar pawn before.

Ni Yi narrowed his eyes, reminiscing about the feeling of Shi Cai swinging a big axe to cut off his flesh. The feeling of life and death in your own hands is already wonderful, and the joy of killing is even more unforgettable!

Half an hour later, Ni Yi and his men appeared in a small tribe twenty miles to the east. The tribe is led by an elderly tribal leader. The head man once participated in the city change held in Juyong County, Shanggu County, and can speak the Jin language, and in this small tribe, he is already a person with profound knowledge.

At this moment, this person is waiting diligently, arranging meals for Ni Yi and the others. His sons and nephews, and several Xianbei youths were busy running around, and soon lit a bonfire.

The highland is surrounded by a half-moon-shaped river and is sheltered by valleys on both sides. The water and grass around the highlands are fertile, and the cattle and sheep are scattered dotted. Such a treasure should be the permanent residence of this tribe every summer. In addition to felt tents, the semi-nomadic and semi-settled Xianbei tribes also built shoddy wooden houses to live in. Whether it is a felt tent or a wooden house, there are piles of unsalted furs and all kinds of dried animal meat, and the smell of rancid smell is so strong that people want to vomit.

Naturally, Ni Yi and the others would not enter the house, they stopped at the river beach a stone's throw away from the Hu people's camp, and set up a bonfire to cook meat, dry food, and fish caught in the river pond. In the various strange-shaped pottery provided by the Xianbei people, the tumbling pieces of meat soon wafted out a rich aroma.

The nomadic tribes were by no means as wealthy as those in the interior of the Central Plains imagined. When their livelihood depended on the heavens, a single snowstorm or plague was enough to destroy a thriving tribe; Even though they worked all year round, there were very few surplus materials, and apart from a few big chiefs who had access to the Central Plains, the poverty of the people was appalling. In order to provide Ni Yi and the others with meat for this meal, half of the newborn lambs of this small tribe this year were consumed. So much so that the children of the tribe, seduced by the aroma, overcame their fear of the strange army, and timidly stayed near the river beach to watch.

Ni Yi divided all the soldiers into two teams, taking turns to eat and drink, and to be on guard. When all the soldiers had eaten and drunk, he summoned the head of the tribe and unceremoniously ordered: "Thank you for your generosity, we are all full." Now, all the adult males of your tribe have brought weapons, dry rations, and horses, and are going with us to the next tribe! ”

"All grown men?" The head man repeated Ni Yi's words in a low voice, bent down deeply at the diminutive Ni Yi, and raised his hands that were as dry as old trees high in the air as a sign of respect: "Please forgive me for my ignorance and ignorance, what does the powerful imperial army need all the adult men of our clan to do?" ”

Ni Yi sneered and stuffed the dagger used to remove meat into the boot: "What do you want you to do?" Of course there was a war. The Tuoba Xianbei Dashan Yu Yilu produced in the Danhan Mountain Sacrifice Ceremony is being shamefully betrayed. As an ally of Da Dan Yu, we must requisition all our forces to fight the betrayers. ”

After speaking, Ni Yi no longer paid attention to those Xianbei people. He turned and shouted to his men to get their men in order, inspect their weapons, armor, and horses, and prepare to move on. The troops directly under Lu Yao totaled 1,000 people, and were led by five team leaders. These 1,000 men were brave and experienced soldiers of war, equipped with sophisticated armaments and rigorously trained, and the 200 men present at the moment alone were already a formidable force.

In comparison, this tribe is only a subordinate tribe in the eastern part of Tuoba Xianbei, and there are less than 100 adult men in the upper and lower tribes. Mo said that under the threat of the two hundred elite soldiers led by Ni Yi, there was no way to fight back, judging from the intensity of Tuoba Xianbei's internal annexation in recent years, if it weren't for the fact that many chieftains in the east, Qu Shuai, were all killed on Danhan Mountain, this tribe would have been annexed by a powerful neighbor in a matter of one or two years at most. However, this does not mean that they will believe what the Jin people say, they are here to help Yilu Dadan to suppress the rebellion; It doesn't mean that they will be willing to fight side by side with the Jin people for this ridiculous reason.

The leader hesitated for a long time, and the words that came out made Ni Yi's face gradually sink down: "Respected general, we are just a small tribe, and we never dare to offend anyone. If you need cattle, sheep and food, we are willing to do everything to meet you. But...... But ......" the head man's voice was difficult. He rubbed his hands together, and there were large drops of sweat running down his forehead.

"But what?"

"But we don't want to stand with the Jin people, and we don't want to kill each other with our kindred!" The leader plucked up his courage and said.

"Oh......" Ni Yi answered with a long voice.

This old man has a lot of experience, no wonder he can survive with such a tiny tribe. When he refused to respond to the recruitment, the middle-aged men of the tribe had gathered at some point. As far as Ni Yi could see, he had already discovered the shoddy weapons hidden beside them.

But Ni Yi had already prepared for both.

He raised his head suddenly, and his eyes flashed fiercely: "Since you don't want to, let's die." ”

Before he could finish speaking, a huge and broad axe blade swept by. The head of the tribe leader had a halberd and flew up tumbling and tumbling.

Without warning, this murderous act immediately stunned the Xianbei people who had gathered. And the soldiers of the Jin army shouted in unison, and at the same time drew their swords and got on their horses!

Another half hour passed.

Ni Yile took the reins of the horse. Behind him, nearly 200 soldiers of the Jin army and dozens of Xianbei herdsmen who were walking along the path stopped together.

Ni Yi asked in a deep voice, "Bypassing this forest, will you go to the next tribe?" ”

Not long ago, a young man from Xianbei who had prepared a meal for Ni Yi and the others bent down with an extremely flattering smile and replied in low-level Chinese: "Yes, General. The camp of the Bone Tribe was behind the woods, and if you walked five hundred steps further, you could see their sentry. ”

"Good!" Ni Yi nodded with satisfaction: "You send someone who is articulate, just say that the alliance army of Yilu Da Danyu is here, and ask them if they are willing to fight with us." If you don't want to, you can bring people forward and kill them all!" ”

Ni Yi's subordinates totaled two hundred, and each person's life was very important in his heart. That's because he knows very well that the troops tasked with sweeping the grasslands on the dam will not be limited to him. If you want to stand out among the many colleagues who have dreams of making a difference, you must achieve maximum results while spending the most.

"Yes! Be! Please rest assured, General! I'm going to ask them personally! Hearing Lu Yao's command, the Xianbei young man nodded again and again without the slightest hesitation, like a loyal shepherd dog. He turned around and summoned a few big men to discuss for a while, and then waved his hand. Dozens of Xianbei people immediately clutched weapons such as wooden sticks and bone knives, and tiptoed into the forests on both sides. And he himself rode forward, shouting loudly.

For the nomads of the steppes, there is no such virtue as loyalty. It is their instinct to submit to the strong and at the same time do everything in their power to bully the weak. And Ni Yi's murderous actions are in line with their definition of a strong person in the eyes of Xianbei people. Half a day after the original leader was killed by Ni Yi, all the Xianbei people who expressed their willingness to resist were killed. And the old man's son, the Xianbei young man, has completely abandoned the revenge of killing his father, and prostrates in front of Ni Yi to swear loyalty. It is to obey the orders of powerful court officers to intimidate or kill people of other tribes; Or do you sacrifice yourself to win a chance for other tribes to escape? The new tribal leader, and dozens of Xianbei men under him, had already made their choice.
