My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 1188 Enke's decision! Man's plans are in accord with Heaven's plans. The future of Tunguska lies in the south!

Dalai's eyes narrowed: "Are you a slave of the Dahei tribe?"

Dalai remembered very clearly that the Dahei tribe had long lived near several shoals in the middle and lower reaches of the Nanshui River, making a living by grazing and catching catfish in the shoals. The reason why the Dahei tribe was named Dahei was because catfish was called Dahei in the Tungusic language!
The shoals in the middle and lower reaches of the difficult water were exactly where the Tungus, Hu, Yan and Qin armies confronted each other!

But where is this place? This is near the Nomin River!

It was reasonable for the warriors of the Dahei tribe to appear here, and it was also reasonable for the slaves of the Dahei tribe to appear here, but why did the slaves of the Dahei tribe come here from so far away? This was unreasonable!
Dalai leaned forward slightly and asked solemnly: "You are a slave of the Dahei tribe, why did you come here to look for your tribe?!"

Enke's forehead was still pressed tightly against the ground, and he said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty!"

"A few months ago, I went out with a few slaves to herd sheep. When we were about to return, we suddenly saw a lot of Qin soldiers and heard fierce shouts of killing."

"I was a coward, so I quickly drove the sheep with my friends and hid in the forest."

"After the shouting and killing stopped, I and my companions drove the sheep back to the grassland. We saw many headless corpses. I wanted to go back to look for my tribe, but found that all the tribesmen were gone. I and my companions didn't know..."

Dalai frowned slightly and ordered in a deep voice: "Speak to the point!"

The scout centurion who captured Enke swung a whip on Enke's back and shouted, "Don't talk nonsense!"

"Tell me how you got here!"

Enke cried out in pain and staggered, but he quickly knelt down and said tremblingly: "I came here on horseback with my friends, driving the sheep."

"But we encountered wolves on the way, the sheep ran away, the horse died of exhaustion, and the rest of the companions got separated."

"I don't know where I can go, and I didn't see any tribes on the way. I can only walk north along the river. When I reach the source of a river, I will look for another river. After walking for a long time, I finally saw the king!"

"I have no intention to offend the king. I just want to find our tribe, go back to serve you, and raise cattle and sheep for the tribe!"

"Please forgive me, my king!"

Enke's speech was very cumbersome and complicated, and would go off topic from time to time, but in the eyes of Dalai and the Tungus generals, it was reasonable.

Enke was just a slave, how could he express his thoughts clearly and simply?

Dalai tried hard to extract the key points from Enke's words and asked: "Did you not see the Qin army along the way?"

Enke shook his head hastily: "I have not seen the Qin army, nor have I seen any tribesmen."

"When I'm hungry, I catch fish to eat; when I'm thirsty, I drink river water. I just want to see someone as soon as possible. Otherwise, I don't know if I can hold on..."

Dalai stopped listening to Enke's nonsense and said, "Go find the people from the Dahei tribe!"

Soon, a captain of a thousand men arrived at Dalai's side.

Without waiting for the captain to greet him, Dalai pointed at Enke and asked in a low voice: "Captain Mata, is this a slave from your tribe?"

Marta looked at Enke, frowning and thinking hard.

Enke showed a panicked look and said repeatedly: "I definitely did not intend to escape. It was just that I saw the Qin army when I returned. I was very scared and did not dare to go forward."

"I didn't lose the sheep in the tribe on purpose. There were just too many wolves and I couldn't stop them at all."

"I am willing to be punished and to go without food for three days. Please don't kill me!"

As the chief of the Dahei tribe, how could Mata remember what a slave looked like?

Mata did not directly answer Dalai's question, nor did she pay attention to Enke. Instead, she cautiously faced Dalai and punched his heart with her right fist, saying in a deep voice, "King! I wonder what crime this man has committed?"

"I am willing to peel off his scalp for you, Your Majesty, and grind his skull into a wine vessel as a sacrifice!"

Dalai thought for a while and said, "This man said he came all the way from the Dahei tribe and brought back some information."

Marta secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "This man is a slave from our tribe!"

"I thought all these slaves were dead, but I didn't expect this person to find his way here."

"As the chief of the Dahei tribe, I am willing to present this man to the king!"

Dalai looked at Enke with a little more surprise: "Did this guy really come all the way here from the Dahei tribe?!"

Enke ignored Dalai and kowtowed to Mata: "Please don't take my skull. I will graze well and will never lose a sheep again!"

"I will pray to the Eternal Heaven every day from now on. May the Eternal Heaven bless our tribe leader Mata!"

Dalai did not feel that Enke's behavior was a disrespect to him.

After all, Enke was just a slave.

In the slaves' worldview, the slave owner is the greatest. As for the slave owner's master? That is a behemoth that cannot be accommodated in the slaves' worldview!

Moreover, Enke also knew Mata's name. If Enke was not a slave of the Dahei tribe, how could he know that the chief of the Dahei tribe was named Mata?
Dalai said in a deep voice: "Mata wants to give you to me, not your skull." "Don't worry, I won't treat you badly, take it!"

As he spoke, Dalai threw the wine bag from his waist to Enke.

Enke took the wine bag in a panic, shivering and at a loss.

Dalai forced a faint smile and said, "Take a sip."

Enke looked at Marta with increasing fear.

Marta shouted angrily: "Drink if I tell you to! Otherwise I'll take your head!"

Enke quickly opened the wine bag and took a big gulp.

"Cough cough cough~"

The spicy and smelly mare's milk poured into Enke's throat, choking him and causing him to cough repeatedly.

Seeing this, Dalai smiled and said, "This is wine. Is it delicious?"

"Now, tell me the route you took and everything you saw along the way."

"This bag of wine is yours."

Enke looked at the wine bag in his hand, licked the wine on the edge of his mouth with his tongue, looked at Dalai with disbelief and desire and asked: "This, this is the taste of wine!"

"Is this for the humble?"

Dalai nodded slightly: "Not bad."

"This bottle of wine is given to you."

"If you tell me enough details, I can even grant you the status of a Tungusic citizen, so that you will never be a slave again!"

Enke's face flushed slightly, whether from drinking or excitement, and he nodded repeatedly, "I will tell you! I will tell you clearly!"

Dalai nodded happily: "Take the Kunyu map!"

Enke lay on the ground, pointing at the rivers on the Kunyu map and narrating how he went north along these rivers.

The location Enke pointed out was not accurate, and what he said about his experiences was somewhat vague, and he knew nothing about the specific time and direction. But considering that Enke was just a slave after all, the Tungus generals thought it was natural and started to guide Enke to tell more details.

Listening carefully to Enke's description, an idea emerged in Dalai's mind, and it became more and more real as Enke described it!

"The king has fallen into a trap!" Dalai patted his horse's back and said suddenly, "Although the Qin army has sent a million soldiers for this battle, the main force of the Qin army has already gone to attack the Hu Kingdom, and there is also a detachment attacking the Dongyi. There will definitely not be too many soldiers and horses that can be used to attack my Tungus."

"Even if the Qin army really sent out a million soldiers, it would be impossible to set up an encirclement that was thousands of miles wide!"

"I thought that the Qin army was heavily besieging us in the south, so I led my army to turn northwest, north, and northeast, trying to enter Jin'alin or Xia'alin, or continue to turn north of Jin'alin."

"But I didn't know that the Qin army had also transferred all its troops to the north, leaving the southern defense line completely empty!"

"I was wrong! Very wrong!"

Listening to the information brought back by Enke, Dalai felt that he had seen through everything!
Why were there continuous Qin troops within thousands of miles in the north? Why did Dalai encounter Qin troops wherever he went?
This was because the Qin army did not set up a full encirclement that was heavy in the south and light in the north, and surrounded all sides as Dalai had expected. Instead, they set up a semi-encirclement that was not heavy in the south and only covered half of the north!

Ajiang Dabing's eyes narrowed slightly: "So the way out of this battle is not in the north, but in the south?!"

"The guidance I just received was indeed from Changshengtian. It was only because my eyes were blinded by distracting thoughts that I actually questioned Changshengtian's guidance!"

Dalai and Ajiang Dabing looked at each other and could see deep eagerness in each other's eyes.

Man's calculations and God's calculations agree. There is no doubt that the road to Tunguska is in the south!
Dalai immediately ordered: "Pass on this king's order!"

"The entire army is moving south at full speed!"
-
On the banks of the Nuomin River, Peng Yue looked at the Tungus army heading south at full speed, and felt very uneasy: "Have they left?"

"The enemy will move south, right?"

"If the enemy doesn't move south and continues to look for opportunities to hide in the woods, I really can't stand it!"

The position where Peng Yue was located was the end of the encirclement of Peng Yue's troops. There were no more Qin troops in front of him. For a moment, Peng Yue had no way to withdraw troops to fill the encirclement. He could only lead the troops behind him to chase forward. Whether he could catch up with the enemy and organize the next ambush depended entirely on fate.

So Peng Yue chose to take the risk!
Enke might be able to deceive Dalai, or he might not. He might also confess and rebel on the spot once he entered Tunguska. But no matter which possibility came true, Dalai's attention would be drawn to the south because of Enke.

Once Dalai sends scouts to the south for reconnaissance, he will find that the Qin army really has no troops deployed along the Nanshui River!
Peng Yue was betting that Dalai would not remain indifferent to the empty southern defense line!
Peng Yue didn’t know whether he could win the bet, he only knew that he had tried his best!

With a sigh, Peng Yue said in a deep voice: "Send a message to the commander!"

"The main force of Tunguska has left our encirclement and continued to move south. Our army is no longer able to extend the encirclement. We request support from the commander-in-chief!"
