I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 579: The Golden Sword Prince Consort? An Audience with the Military Intelligence Department (Part )

Like most of the grassland tribes, the Wuzhu tribe did not have a fixed Khanate residence.

Wherever the army goes, the Khanate will be there.

Even if a person with great supernatural powers wants to find its location, it will take some effort.

But this is not a problem at all for Han Shao.

Follow the map and you will reach your destination in a moment.

However, Han Shao did not choose to descend there directly, but instead found a place nearby to stay.

The Chile tribe was an ordinary and inconspicuous tribe in the north of Liangzhou.

Different from the simple bitter coldness of the Youbei grassland, the grass here is obviously much thinner, and it looks more desolate and bleak.

“No wonder there are so few large tribes here.”

Li Jing said with emotion.

Without fertile pastures, we cannot raise too many cattle and sheep, too many people, and a strong tribe cannot be formed.

Without the support of a strong tribe, naturally, a truly powerful person cannot be born.

However, the situation is different in the southwest direction, as the Qiang people there are quite powerful.

This makes the situation in Liangzhou somewhat similar to that of Youzhou in the past.

Border troubles, generations of blood feuds, and years of fighting.

Therefore, the people of Liangzhou are tough and have a strong martial spirit, and the Liangzhou Army is also one of the most elite and powerful armies in the world.

Of course, for now, all this has little to do with Han Shao.

His arms can't reach that far.

Only when he heard that the Xiliang governor was named Dong and had 100,000 Xiliang cavalry under his command, did Han Shao couldn't help but twitch his lips.

"Let the Military Intelligence Department sow some seeds in Liangzhou later."

Although the Military Intelligence Department is under the jurisdiction of the Six Gates, due to its special nature, it is also controlled and deployed by military men such as Li Jing.

Hearing this, Li Jing nodded slightly in agreement.

However, as he knew Han Shao quite well, he noticed that Han Shao had a strange expression when he mentioned the Governor of Xiliang, so he mentioned it.

"It is said that Dong Zhaoyuan is deeply involved with the Yuan family."

Liangzhou and Youzhou are located in the east and west, respectively, and are more than 20,000 miles apart.

Even under such circumstances, he can still be related to Yuan Feng, which shows the importance of the Yuan family as a noble family for generations.

From this perspective, Emperor Taikang's timidity seems to be more and more reasonable.

Han Shao chuckled as he tried to make amends for his cheap father-in-law.

"Don't worry about the Yuan family. Liangzhou is a long way away. Even if Yuan Feng wants to borrow some strength, it's too far to reach him."

Li Jing heard this and thought about it, so he didn't say much.

In fact, in his opinion, his monarch has been accumulating strength for ten years, and although he seems to be quiet, he is actually a completely different person now.

Not to mention that Dong Zhaoyuan's 100,000 Xiliang cavalry could not threaten the Zhenliao Army, so what could it do even if they lived next to each other?
It's just a case of scabies.

The master and the servant were walking and chatting leisurely on the grassland of the Chile tribe when a member of the Chile tribe came over on horseback.

One of them yelled and cursed.

"Assholes! I told you to free your horses, but you were lazy! You deserve to be exterminated by those Eastern Barbarians!"

The "Eastern Barbarians" mentioned by the Chile tribe naturally refer to the Wushu tribe that marched westward.

Well, the Western barbarians scold the Eastern barbarians, and regional discrimination is everywhere and never goes out of style.

After exchanging a somewhat amused look with Li Jing, Han Shao hurriedly explained.

"Leader, you misunderstood. We are not being lazy. We are just taking the opportunity to let the horses go to patrol the surroundings to prevent those Eastern Barbarians from suddenly attacking us."

He and Li Jing, who used their magical powers to conceal their identities, were now the fugitives of a tribe that had been destroyed by Wuzhu's tribe.

He was forced to join the Chile tribe in order to survive.

Speaking of which, this situation is very common in today's chaotic grasslands, and it is nothing surprising.

After being absorbed by the Chile tribe, fleeing tribesmen like this would abandon their past, take Chile as their surname, become members of the Chile tribe, fight for the Chile tribe, reproduce, and grow stronger.

However, xenophobia is also human nature, and some suppression and exclusion is normal before complete integration.

Besides this, Han Shao's situation is somewhat special...

"How dare you quibble! Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because Una clan princess likes your color!"

"In our grasslands, the strong are always respected. What's the point of being good-looking? The tribe leader will never marry the tribe princess to you!"

Since ancient times, beauties have brought disaster.

Even if you behave yourself, you can still bring disaster upon yourself.

Seeing Li Jing trying hard to hold back his laughter, Han Shao glared at him with some embarrassment.

Then he complained to the people of the Chile tribe with an innocent look on his face.

"Chief, listen to my explanation. I have no other intentions towards Una Ji, and I will not expect the chief to marry her to me..."

But who would have thought that it would have been better if these words had not been said. Once these words were said, the people of the Chile tribe became even angrier.

"Asshole! Unazuji is the most beautiful Gesang flower on the grassland, how dare you look down on her?"

Hey!
It’s not over yet, right?

Han Shao, who had never felt so aggrieved before, was really angry.

But he was only angry for a moment.

The 'mortal' life of the past two days was quite interesting to him as he had been staying in Zhenliao City for a long time.

He had no intention of ending this novel experience of role-playing until it became boring.

So even when those whips were coming, after stopping Li Jing from attacking in anger, he did not dodge.

He even used his magical powers to fake bloody scars.

So when they returned to the tribe, the Una princess who was obsessed with all the young men of the Chile tribe suddenly had red eyes.

"You...how could you do this!"

Having said that, he took Han Shao into his arms regardless of the blood all over his body and carefully checked his injuries.

This look of heartbreak broke the hearts of all the young men in the Chile tribe, and they wanted to look up to the sky and shout "No!"

But at this moment, Han Shao still acted weak and apologized.

"Please don't be angry, clan princess. I'm new here, so it's normal that I don't have much trust."

"So... it's all my fault. I don't blame the leader for punishing me."

Li Jing, who was also "bloody" beside him, twitched his mouth when hearing this chat.

But sometimes the lethality of male green tea is even greater than that of female green tea.

Look, seeing Han Shao in such a miserable state, he actually wanted to defend those bastards. The Una girl stared at Han Shao's face, which was just rough, and complained with heartache.

"Ah Shao, you are just too kind, that's why you let them bully you!"

"How can you protect yourself like this?"

So, the usually good-tempered Una clan princess spoke with a cold face for the first time in her life, twisting the whip.

"Come, A Shao, I will teach you."

After saying that, he swung the horsewhip in his hand, bringing with it a fierce gust of wind, and whipped the members of the Chile tribe who had just "whipped" Han Shao.

In a flash, he beat those guys into blood gourds, and spoke coldly while beating them.

"From now on, if anyone dares to bully Ah Shao again, don't blame me for being merciless!"

I have to say, this woman is really scary when she gets cruel.

Looking at those guys who took in more air than they exhaled, all the young people present were terrified.

Han Shao was secretly happy when he saw this.

But his face was full of reluctance, and then he dragged his body covered with scars and tried to stop him in a gentle tone.

"Please stop fighting, for me... it's not worth it."

If you hit him again, he will be killed.

What else is interesting?
When the little girl heard Han Shao's words, she immediately dropped her whip and stepped forward to support his weak body.

"Okay, I'll listen to you and stop fighting."

"Come on, I'll take you to treat your injuries."

After saying this, he ignored the broken expressions of all the young members of the Chile tribe present and took Han Shao into his tent.

Li Jing, who was also covered in wounds, was also dumbfounded.

"No, Lord, you...what should I do?"

……

As the threat from the Eastern Barbarians of the Wushu tribe gets closer.

The atmosphere in the Chile tribe has become increasingly solemn these days.

At another clan meeting.

Some people suggested continuing to move westward to avoid the iron hooves and scimitars of the Wushu tribe.

Some people also suggested.

"Why don't we go south and seek the protection of the Yong people? I believe those Eastern Barbarians won't dare to act recklessly with the Yong people." The situation is different from that in Youbei.

As the westernmost part of Dayong's territory, Liangzhou's main threat came not from the north but from the Qiang people in the west.

Therefore, the attitude towards these barbarians from the northern grasslands is mostly conciliatory.

If they went south to escape disaster at this time, the people of Yong would probably not refuse.

The only problem is that there is no free lunch in this world, and the Yong people will not provide shelter for nothing.

If you want to get it, you will have to pay a huge price.

While everyone was arguing, Han Shao, who was also among them, was enjoying the meat that the tribe member Una had prepared for him.

When the young tribesmen present saw this scene, they all gritted their teeth and their eyebrows and eyes were throbbing with veins.

It turns out that the goddess in their hearts is not immune to worldly desires.

But her mortal heart would not beat for them.

That gentle and affectionate look would never fall on them for even a moment.

Do not--

"Why?"

boom--

A young member of the Chile tribe suddenly slammed the table and pointed at Han Shaodao, who looked stunned.

"You are a member of a fallen clan. You have not made any contribution to our Chile tribe. What qualifications do you have to sit with us?"

The key point is how can you feel so at ease and enjoy the service of Una princess!
Damn!

Looking up at the young member of the Chile tribe whose eyes were as red as an angry bull, Han Shao took a sip of the wine and swallowed the meat in his mouth.

Before he could say anything, the Una tribe princess beside him spoke angrily.

"How dare you! I brought him here. If you have any opinions, you can tell me!"

To be honest, this was the first time that Han Shao was protected by a woman, whether in his previous life or this life.

This feeling is indeed somewhat... novel.

As I was blinking and looking around, I was met with a pair of sharp eyes.

That was the gaze of the chief of the Chile tribe, Una's father.

Honestly speaking, to say that someone of this caliber is an ant in front of Han Shao is actually giving him a compliment.

But Han Shao, who was enjoying a rare "vacation" at this moment, still acted as if he was retreating.

But he didn't expect that the other party didn't let him go.

"Since Una has brought him here, we might as well listen to what he has to say."

While saying this, his eyes did not move away from Han Shao.

"Asha, what do you think?"

In an instant, everyone in the tent looked at Han Shao.

There are those who explore it, but there are more who are disdainful and contemptuous.

He is from a dead clan and his cultivation is not outstanding. Apart from that face that can deceive women, what insights can this loser have?
Seeing this, the Una princess who was sitting next to him couldn't help but show some panic and worry in her eyes.

In fact, she is that superficial.

The reason why I was attracted to the man next to me had nothing to do with anything else, it was just because of this face that made me fall in love with him at first sight.

Unlike the rough and rude men on the grassland, this face is extremely delicate and likable.

So she didn't think Han Shao had any insights.

But just when she was about to stand up again to argue for Han Shao, she unexpectedly saw him stop her.

"Asha..."

Han Shao gave her a reassuring look, then cleared his throat and said.

"Since the clan leader has spoken, I will just say a few words."

Seeing that this pretty boy actually had the courage to speak, some people were surprised, some mocked him and showed disdain, but no one stopped him from continuing.

"First of all, the Eastern Barbarians are too powerful and we can't defeat them."

This is obviously nonsense.

The dominance of the Wushu tribe of the Eastern Barbarians has been established. Even the Bor tribe, which is a large tribe of ten thousand cavalrymen, was razed to the ground. It is said that the princess of the tribe who can attract the butterfly dance was also abducted and became a trophy.

Facing such a formidable opponent, what can the Chile tribe use to fight?

Hearing the sneers from the big tent, Han Shao calmly pressed his hands, signaling them to be quiet.

"Secondly, if we continue to move west, where can we move to?"

The oppression and encroachment by the Wushu tribe over the past decade has continuously squeezed the living space of countless tribes.

Nowadays, the further west you go, the higher the density of tribes, large and small.

If the Chile tribe continued to move westward, they would have to fight with other tribes for pasture without waiting for the Wuzhu tribe to take action.

Then they will fall into a crazy internal battle with other tribes.

By then, with the limited assets of the Chile tribe, it would probably be completely consumed in no time.

After listening to Han Shao's analysis, everyone in the Chile tribe was silent.

"So you mean...migrate south?"

Han Shao nodded.

“Migration southward is indeed a way forward.”

The people who had already gotten into the rhythm of Han Shao's words did not refute, but just frowned.

"The people of Yong are greedy and not easy to get along with."

Whether you are greedy or not is a matter of your head following your butt.

Han Shao did not dwell on this issue, but continued to nod.

"Yes, if we move south, we must be prepared to be slaughtered by the Yong people, just like the Yong people have a famous saying, 'People die with knives, I am jade'."

“This is the helplessness of asking for help from others.”

As he spoke, Han Shao made some inferences about migrating south to seek refuge from the Yong people.

Finally draw a conclusion.

"Migration to the south can indeed bring a little peace, but over time, if nothing unexpected happens, the Chile tribe will inevitably decline, or even disappear, and our people will be assimilated and devoured by the Yong people."

No one can deny the Yong people's terrifying assimilation ability.

They have all heard that people in the Youbei grasslands have begun to speak the Yong language and follow Yong customs. Perhaps in a few years, those Eastern Barbarians will forget their identity as descendants of the Canglang and forget the Eternal Heaven above their heads.

So when everyone heard Han Shao's words, they were all horrified.

Then I thought about the humiliation, difficulties, and even humiliation that I might encounter from the Yong people after moving south.

The older generation still looked hesitant, while the younger generation had already slammed the table and stood up, shouting angrily.

"No! We can't go south!"

But since the westward migration was rejected, the southward migration was also rejected.

This won’t work either left or right.

So what to do next?
The chief of the Chile tribe frowned.

In fact, he had already considered everything Han Shao said.

It’s just that Han Shao didn’t explain it as clearly.

At this moment, his eyes fell on Han Shao, the 'fugitive member of the extinct clan', and suddenly something moved in his heart.

"According to what you said, Ah Shao, isn't my Chile tribe in a desperate situation?"

This is really depressing.

Although this is true, anyone who says this will undoubtedly arouse public anger.

But Han Shao spoke frankly.

"good."

As expected, as soon as he said this, the young tribesmen who already disliked him suddenly shouted angrily.

"Escaped slave! How dare you disrupt the morale of our army!"

"This man has evil intentions. Please kill him, Chief!"

Amid the noisy shouting and fighting, Una subconsciously held Han Shao's hand tightly, looking extremely nervous.

But Han Shao gave her a look that told her to stay calm.

The chief of the Chile tribe, who had seen the entire scene, was silent for a while, then stopped those people from making noise and looked at Han Shaodao.

"Ah Shao, if you have any ideas, why not tell me?"

Hearing this, Han Shao broke free from his tightly grasped hand, tapped the table with his fingers, and smiled.

"To survive from death is nothing but a gamble."

"If I were the clan leader, I would go and surrender to the Wushu tribe right now."
