Chapter 48: Blood Flag

Just as Huo Gang received these military flags, a few hundred kilometers northwest of Huo Gang, more than a dozen Turks rode towards a huge Turkic camp in front of them, which was the largest tribe of the Western Turks in this region.

The official of the Western Turks here, Tong Lifa, who was in charge of the defense of the Western Turks, was here with Luo Ashye, and Ashye was also the leader of the Tongluo tribe, and was one of the largest nobles of the Western Turks in the Western Regions.

"The leader is not good! Leaders of a dozen tribes are here! They asked the chief for an explanation. A Turkic soldier rode to the largest tent in the center, opened the tent and rushed in, shouting loudly.

"What's going on?" Ashye fought directly and asked with an ugly face.

"They escorted an old man, an old man carrying a blood-colored ram horn totem flag." The Turkic swallowed.

Ashye was immediately stunned for a moment, his face changed instantly, he walked down directly from his position, stretched out his hand and directly pulled the Turkic man's collar and asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure?" ”

"I'm sure Chief!" The Turk replied earnestly.

"Let's go!" Ashye didn't say a word, he turned around and picked up his long knife and hung it on his waist, then turned around and walked out.

By the time Ashye came out of the tent, the entire Tongluo tribe was boiling.

The ram horn totem flag should be the totem flag of the opposing tribe, this is not a special place, there are at least tens of thousands of tribes of different sizes in the entire Western Turks, and almost every tribe has its own totem flag.

There are also some small tribes who follow the big tribes with the same totem flag, and the ram horn totem is their totem flag with the Luo department, but there is only one situation of this blood-stained red totem flag, and that is blood feud! The Turkic herdsmen asked their Turkic nobles to protect them and avenge their blood and revenge.

This is one of the traditions of the steppe, Tongluobu is subordinate to the Western Turkic Khan, Ashye is considered a nobleman of the Western Turks, and he is also the leader of everyone here near the Western Regions! It can be said that all the Turkic tribes in this Western Regions belong to the subjects of Ashye!

In peacetime, these small tribes paid tribute to the Tongluo tribe and paid taxes, and when there was a war with the Luo tribe, these small tribes would send their own tribesmen's young men to fight with the Tongluo tribe, which was the source of the Turkic soldiers.

For example, there are only 500 soldiers directly under the Tongluo Division, of course, these 500 cavalry are real elite Turkic cavalry, they belong to regular cavalry, and even if they usually do not return to their tribe to graze.

But in the event of a war, if Ashye gives a summoning order, he can at least easily gather thousands of cavalry!

Usually, these small tribes are actually untouchables to Ashye, and Ashye doesn't care about the life or death of these untouchables, but now when the blood-colored totem flag appears, if Ashye still turns a blind eye, then those small tribes attached to him will probably never be attached to them again.

When Ashye got out of the tent, a Turkic soldier next to him immediately pulled Ashye's war horse, Ashye directly turned over on his horse, Ashye's guards also turned over on his horse, and then more than a dozen horsemen rushed directly to the entrance of the tribe.

The entire Tongluo tribe was already in an uproar, and most of them saw the blood-stained totem flag slowly walking towards the tribe.

When Ashye reached the gate of the tribe, he immediately saw an old Turkic man with almost gray hair and a broken leg walking slowly in this direction on a horse, and from the almost skinny Turkic horse, Ashye knew that the old man had been on the road for a long time.

And the dozen or so horsemen who followed him, Ashye recognized them, all of them were the tribal leaders of other small tribes near their Tongluo tribe.

They all followed the old man, who apparently had passed through the tribe of some of them, and they had come after knowing each other's news.

When the old man walked in front of Ashye, Ashye smelled a strong stench, but there was no expression on his face, and the Turkic soldiers beside him had already spoken loudly and directly: "This old man, what happened to you, this one in front of you is the leader of the Tongluo tribe, Tong Lifa, the leader of Ashye." ”

Hearing this term, the old man on horseback finally reined in the reins of his horse, and then he turned over and dismounted directly, but when he rolled over and dismounted halfway through the horse, the strength in his hand could no longer maintain his body, and he fell to the ground with a "poof".

Several soldiers beside Ashye immediately turned over and dismounted, ran over quickly, and tried to help the old man up, but the old man directly pushed their hands away, and then stubbornly crawled towards Ashye's side.

The expression on Ashye's face when he saw this scene finally changed, he frowned slightly, turned over and dismounted directly, and then quickly walked in front of the old man, and said in a deep voice: "This old man, what grievances do you have, you say, this leader is the master for you." ”

Although he said this, Ashye was a little irritable in his heart, he knew that the reason why this old man refused the help of these soldiers was only for one purpose, that is, that he had to avenge them.

But now Ashye didn't know anything, this sudden war disrupted many of his deployments, he had been planning for several years, preparing to annex Loulan near them, and when he was about to have results, such a thing suddenly appeared.

Ashye is not an ordinary herdsman, he has many sources of information, but he knows that the throne of Yehu Khan, the Khan of the Western Turks, is not stable at all.

"Ashye Chief, I'm Ayebi ...... of the Bormu Tribe," Ayebi's hoarse and weak voice rang out.

Hearing the name Bormu, Ashye finally raised his eyebrows, Bormu has something to do with him, and it can be said that Bormu is an important chess piece for him. Borgmu's tribe Ayebi naturally knew.

"What's wrong with your tribe?!" Ashye immediately asked.

"Back to the chief, our tribe ...... Our tribe was slaughtered...... Slaughtered! All of them died...... I didn't even let go of my children for a few months, and none of them survived except me! Ayebi's tears remained again with the old voice.

And the content of his words completely moved everyone around him!

"Who is it? Who's doing it! ”

"Say, we avenge you!" The leaders of the surrounding more than a dozen tribes were immediately in an uproar, and several leaders had already shouted out directly in anger.

Ah Yebi trembled and put his hand into his arms, and took out a stack of incomparably neat and intact white cloth that he had protected.

Ashye waved his hand, and a soldier beside him immediately walked over and took the stack of white cloths, and the two soldiers directly opened the white cloth completely, with a "bang", with the howling northwest wind, the white cloth instantly spread in the air, and a huge "Han" character appeared in everyone's sight.
