Ten days later, the grasslands where the Huns were.
The weather here was still extremely hot, but the experienced old herders knew that after some more time, the weather would turn cooler.
However, their faces were filled with sadness, before the Xiongnu royal court was attacked, the young and old in the rear were killed and injured, and Shan Yu suffered another great defeat.
Moreover, the Hu people and also the Qiang people, the Qin army on the Yuezhi side, were still constantly harassing them.
They had lost control of a large area of pasture.
On the grassland, without the pasture, it’s the same as losing everything.
They can only retreat further north.
The royal court also hid deep in the grasslands as it had countless times before, going to recuperate.
And the ordinary herders, without the cover of the big tribes, were unable to live on the grasslands.
In fact, there are people who want to surrender to the Qin army, but I heard from some of those who escaped back that the Qin army now arrests them on sight and doesn’t give a chance to surrender at all.
Those who were caught were turned into slaves.
They also could only follow the royal court to move deeper into the grassland, where there were still a lot of pastures, and although there were also some small enemies, they were nowhere near as scary as the Qin.
And their Shan Yu, too, had summoned them once again, ready to go and seize these tribes and nations that were weaker than them.
They needed supplies now! Women! Children!
They need everything.
And their ancestors had told them long ago what to do, and that was to rob them!
Inside the Huns’ royal court.
Nowadays, the royal court was no longer as lively as it was before, but instead looked extremely bleak, because on that ground, there were still many large and small earth pits.
That was left behind by those heavenly thunderbolts on the day they were raided by the Huns.
After that big battle, no one dared to repair it, because it was an offence to the God of Heaven.
Bolden stood expressionlessly at a place where the earth pits were densely packed, the earth pits in this place were all dark brown, because there were nearly a hundred of the Huns’ royal court elites who were killed by the heavenly thunderbolt right here.
Their blood stained the mounds red.
“Have you figured out what this is? Can you make it?”
Bolden said at this time as he looked at the few men before him, and in front of a few of them was the strange thing he had got from the Qin battlefield.
It was also what he guessed to be the Heavenly Thunder.
These men were the wisest of their tribe.
But now, several of them looked at me, and I looked at you, all of them were full of doubts.
Finally one of them said.
“Shan Yu, this thing we have not seen, now can only know that there are charcoal and peace commonly used in rituals to drive away insects of sulphur.”
Hearing this, Bolden could not help but frown, although he did not hold much hope in his heart, but hearing this answer, could not help but be a little disappointed.
In the end, he could only wave his hand and say.
“Okay, this single lord knows, today’s matter, you all can’t say anything.”
Several people nodded and left.
Looking at the heavenly thunder in his hand, Bolden’s heart flashed a trace of unwillingness, he thought of all kinds of ways these days, but failed to unlock the secret of this heavenly thunder.
It seems that he can only find craftsmen from other places.
“King Zuo Xian, are the warriors ready?”
Bolden asked King Zuo Xian, who was beside him.
“Your Highness, 10,000 elite warriors have already been prepared, but, are you going to go yourself this time?”
“The tribe can’t do without you right now.”
King Zuo Xian said back with a little bit of worry.
Bolden shook his head and said.
“Now is the time when the tribe is in need of supplies, and it will not be beneficial to the tribe for this Shan Yu to be stuck in the tribe.”
“And this time it won’t be too long, around thirty days, Ben Shan Yu will return with the spoils of war.”
In fact, he didn’t want to leave at this time.
But the most elite and brave warriors, all died in Qin.
He could only go by himself to have the best chance.
Otherwise, if he can’t meet the tribe’s winter needs.
How obedient these warriors are, how rebellious they’ll be!
This is also the law of survival of the wolf pack, the leader who can’t lead the pack to food, will be abandoned by the pack.
And it’s also a good time to look for other places to see if there are any craftsmen who can unlock the secrets of this heavenly thunder.
Zuo Xian Wang couldn’t be persuaded any further, and simply asked.
“Then after you leave, who will be the main person of the tribe?”
Bolden thought slightly and quickly said.
“It will be given to the First Prince, you will just assist him from the side, and the Second Prince will follow this Shan Yu on the campaign this time.”
“Go and pass the order.”
Hearing this, King Zuo Xian was all confused for a moment, but he knew that after returning to the grasslands, Boldon didn’t treat the Great Prince very well.
How come this time, he was being asked to take charge again?
Just that Bolden did not explain more, he had already seen that his eldest son did not have the mind to seize power.
And the second son, may not be really will do, hum, that kid every day with people to learn his method of shooting with tic arrows, still really think he does not know it?
But the more it is like this, the more he likes it, this is the real Huns!
The third son is still too young and has an impulsive personality, more suitable to be a charging general.
In fact, he still has children, but they are all too young, in the grassland, if they can’t grow up to be healthy, he will pretend that he doesn’t have these children.
Soon, the messenger brought the news and came to the tent where the three brothers were, but at this time, only Li and Lian were in the tent.
When the messenger had gone, the youngest Lian said with gusto.
“Big brother, now that that man has asked you to take charge of the royal court, this is our chance!”
“When he leaves, we’ll gather the followers of the Heavenly God Cult and take over the royal court!”
Hearing this, Rei, however, shook his head and said.
“Lian, now our people also need to rest, uncle’s Qin army, is not friendly to us.”
“And Yi will have to go out with us, if we rebel, he will be in danger too!”
Lian said at this time, with a few moments of exasperation.
“Big brother! You are just timid! I knew that you are no longer the original big brother!”
In the face of Lian’s accusation, Li could only bear it silently, he just wanted his clan to live a better life ah!
Just then, Yi also came back, he had been leading the training lately.
After hearing the news, Yi said with a slight flash in his eyes.
“It’s good for me to follow, I need a few real battles, you guys just stay here properly.”
“When I return, perhaps it will all be different.”
Rei asked, frowning as he heard something was wrong.
“Righteousness, what are you trying to do?”
Yi said blandly that
“Big brother, you’ve already betrayed uncle, what I do, I don’t need to talk to you, moreover, this time, it’s also that person who asked me to go, it has nothing to do with you.”
After saying that, he turned around and left with Lian, leaving Li alone in the tent.
A few days later, ten thousand Hun elite, led by their Boldon Shan Yu and the second prince, one man and two horses, headed towards the north-west!
At this time, in a small camp in a meadow deep in the grasslands, an old steppe man who couldn’t tell if he was a Hun, a Qiang or a Hu, was speaking to a few young men, saying.
“You guys need to hurry up and fatten up your animals a bit these days, otherwise when the grass yellows, it won’t be good.”
“Also, don’t go too far away, the grassland is not safe now, it was hard for me to pick you guys up.”
Chasing books is really good to use, here to download Everyone go fast can try it.
The old prairie man chattered and rambled before leaving, and one of the young men said to the other young man in the middle.
“Brother Erhei, where are we now, what should we do?”
