Keyuan City, a city between a small city and a middle city, is also the capital of Yuanzhou, with a garrison of 50,000 troops, accounting for 50% of the entire Yuanzhou army. It is backed by Longzhou, which is the center of the entire Yuanzhou grassland and the only city. It was not only a front line to keep foreign enemies out of the Han Dynasty, but also a fortress to attack the Yuan Dynasty.

The mansion of General Xi of Keyuan City is located in the north gate of Yuanzhou, north of the Han Dynasty, facing the Yuan Dynasty, located at the gate of the city, its building is rough, simple, and has a majesty emanating.

Xi Juan quietly pressed the bamboo slips, looking at them word by word, but listening to the noise outside, nearly half an hour, still has not stopped, can't help frowning, the side plugged place, loose outside and tight inside, how can the city gate be blocked for so long, if the enemy grasps the opportunity, the whole city will be in danger.

"Xiaoqing, you go out and ask Fu Bo to ask, what's going on outside!!" Xi Juan put down the bamboo slip and said.

"Yes!" Xiaoqing went out, and soon Fu Bo came, and said: "Miss, for some reason today, the Inhuman caravan is coming together, and there are Inhumans from the mainland coming in a carriage, General Xiang Ying has always been cautious, and there will inevitably be spies, and the investigation is very strict, disturb Miss, please atone for your sins!" I'm going to have them drive them away! ”

Xi Juan waved his hand, and then asked: "It's okay, you let General Xiang Ying go to investigate, why did the Yiren suddenly gather today?" When did the Inhumans form a caravan, and in half an hour, the noise has not stopped, I'm afraid it's not small, right? And, if there are still many caravans behind, tell Xiang Ying to let them enter through the east or south gate! ”

"Yes, the old slave is leaving!" Fu Bo retreated, Xi Juan picked up the bamboo slips and carving knife again, and began to engrave the book.

On the grassland, Zhang Yuan rode a black brocade silk and roared with a hundred horses, at this time the grass had sprouted, and the green could not be seen.

Soon, Baiqi came to a small stream that was a tributary of the Daxi River.

"Stop!! Rest for 10 minutes!! Zhang Yuan shouted to stop, and the black brocade violently lifted the front kick, making a pleasant hissing sound, which seemed to be extremely happy.

After getting off the war horse, Zhang Yuan stepped on the grass, soft and extremely comfortable.

The grass has not yet grown, and it is the most stunned time, when the grass is fully opened, and if there are no animals to eat, its height can cover people.

Zhang Yuanren ate the tender grass in black brocade, walked to the stream and washed his face, the water was still very cold at this time, which made Zhang Yuan's consciousness much clearer.

After Zhang Yuan washed up, he heard an eagle chirping, looked up, and above the sky, vultures were surrounding, heading into the distance.

"Vultures?" Zhang Yuan couldn't help frowning slightly, saying that animals are more sharp than people, and vultures can detect the smell of carrion dozens of miles away.

As soon as Zhang Yuan's heart moved, he was seventy or eighty percent sure, so he shouted to Li Lili who was nearby: "Li Lili, the Han Army Banner called everyone else, gather and set off......!!! ”

After speaking, Zhang Yuan quickly ran to the black brocade that was eating grass and walked a little far, at this time the resting aborigines and players rode their war horses one after another, Zhang Yuan stepped on the black brocade, took the lead, and said: "Let's go!! ”

Zhang Yuan jumped his horse first and crossed the stream, which was less than two meters wide and half a meter deep, and the others followed, roaring a hundred people, and they were very open when they were galloping.

Following the vulture all the way, Zhang Yuan went deep into the grassland, and soon the call of the vulture became more and more obvious and more numerous.

In the sky, there were several vultures circling, and Zhang Yuan's thoughts became more and more decided, I was afraid that there were people dead nearby, and the number was not as simple as one or two.

This place is only twenty miles away from Xihe Town, no matter what the reason, he has to check it to rest assured.

"Wolves, there are wolves ahead, adults ......!!!" Harsh of the Kruzi tribe shouted loudly behind Zhang Yuan.

"I know!" Zhang Yuan slowed down, he had already heard the wolf howl, afraid that the wolves had found them and began to alert his companions.

At this time, they were still more than a kilometer away from the accident site, and they could only see a black dot in the distance, and when everyone slowed down, Zhang Yuan watched from afar, and ordered loudly: "All those who know how to bow and arrow move closer to me, and the others will distance themselves and follow behind!" ”

One hundred horsemen set out again, and soon came to the place where the accident had occurred, a small tribe.

"Ding, you found a dilapidated tribal ruin, and gained experience points of 10!"

At this time, the tribe was empty, only the tents remained, and the cattle, horses, and sheep had disappeared.

"It seems that the enemy should be human, and he is in a hurry, and he didn't even take the tent, it is very likely that it is the steppe tribe itself! Judging by the mutilation of the corpses, it took less than a day at most. And the cattle were taken away, and the chances of the tribes coming from the depths of the steppe were much greater, and the surrounding tribes got grain and grass two days ago, and the chances of them doing it were very small! ”

Thinking about it, Zhang Yuan just watched from a distance, and came to a conclusion in his heart.

Without slowing down, Zhang Yuan had already picked up the best Xuanmu hard bow and looked at the wolves in the tribal ruins.

The wolves are vigilantly looking at this group of people at this time, although they want to retreat, but they are not willing to give up the food to others, in the winter to spring, the official animals spend the hungry winter, when they have a full meal, how can they be willing to leave like this?

"Shoot ......!!!"

Zhang Yuan roared wildly, shot arrows with a bow like lightning, and a rain of arrows covered this small tribe of less than twenty tents.

The wolves let out a scream, and saw Zhang Yuan rushing with people, and immediately wailed and fled in all directions, Zhang Yuan did not stop, he took the bow again, at this time he was only fifty meters away from the nearest tent, only to see him aim at the head wolf in the wolf pack, it was an arrow, the head wolf hiding in the wolf pack arrived, but was shot in the neck by the arrow.

By the time Zhang Yuan stopped outside the tent, the wolves had been completely defeated, and they disappeared into the grassland with their tails between their legs.

Wolves have a strong sense of revenge, and if you don't deal with the wolf, the wolves will follow you, peeking out where you can't see with the naked eye, until you are weak or defenseless, and launch a deadly attack on you.

Therefore, in the grassland, if you are the enemy of the wolf, the best way is to kill the wolf, otherwise you have to be vigilant at any time, or you will capsize in the gutter.

Although he had already made a judgment, Zhang Yuan still jumped off his horse and walked into the tribal ruins to examine it carefully.

The flag of the tribe has been removed, the flag symbolizes the tribe, and the flag is needed for resurrection.

After making sure that there was no camouflage, and determining a more accurate time of the attack, Zhang Yuan finally deduced that the enemy attacked last night, and the most likely thing was that the tribe inside the grassland might have attacked this small tribe because of food problems.

And that tribe may not be big, otherwise it would not have attacked such a small tribe. Because, the smaller the tribe, the scarcer the food left after the winter.

"Halsh, do you know whose tribe this is?" Zhang Yuan asked.

"My lord, this should have been moved here not long ago, otherwise it would have been annexed by other tribes long ago, or actively integrated into other tribes!" Halsh said.

Don't look at these tastes of living at the foot of the Han Dynasty, the steppe tribes that have long been less barbaric are fuel-efficient lamps, and in order for the tribe to be strong, it is also common to annex other tribes, even if it is the most friendly tribe, it is just a softer means.

"Hmmm! You go and ask a few people who are familiar with this place, and bring a letter to the surrounding tribes pro-Han Dynasty, and let them be careful, since this small tribe has been attacked, it means that the tribes in the depths of the grassland can't stand it, if a big tribe migrates over, they will be the first to be unlucky! ”

"Also, you will go to Xihe Town first, and let Xiao Lu take the elite of your tribe back to guard, but you also have to bring a coach, even if you are in the tribe, you can't relax your training, I will take the time to check." If you can't do it well, you can tell Xiao Lu that he has to be hungry for three days, or watch others eat, the kind he can't eat!! ”

"Yes!!"

Halsh was also very anxious at this time, so he called a few tribal warriors, ordered them, and then before they could go first, he had already jumped on his horse, and ran back as fast as he could, not daring to stop for a moment.

In previous years, although there were tribes migrated, but there were few such things, once it appeared, it means that the tribe is very aggressive, even if such a tribe is small, if you want to destroy it, you have to pay a price, especially if you are attacked by him, with the weak strength of the Kruqi tribe now, it is possible to exterminate the tribe.
