Zhi Xuan

In order to get back the leader's body and the status-symbolizing animal bones, the soldiers rushed towards Zhixuan's chariot one after another.

Ever since, such a strange scene appeared on the battlefield: other clans were chasing after the Rong people, running non-stop in the battlefield.Zhi Xuan stood still, but attracted the Rong people like a magnet, most of them were warriors with high status.

Compared with the soldier whose eyes were shining and his face was full of excitement, Zhi Xuan remained expressionless from beginning to end.

Looking at the Rong people who were flying moths into the flames, there seemed to be a large number of golden numbers flying in front of his eyes, he really wanted to shout: I don't want heads, don't come here!

Pity it didn't work.

There were too many Rong people rushing forward, and they couldn't kill them all.

Finally, some clans reacted and began to gather around Zhixuan.You can easily reap military exploits by approaching him, so why not do it.

Fan Xu is not immune either.

Zhixuan's chariot became the eye of the storm, and the Rong people rushed towards him, and the soldiers surrounded the Rong people, layer by layer.When the Rong people finally realized that it was impossible for them to snatch the leader's body and the animal bones that symbolized their status, the soldiers had already completed the encirclement.

There is no way to enter the sky and no way to enter the earth. They cannot be beaten or killed, and the Rong people are completely desperate.After the killing, except for a few sheep slaves who crawled on the ground and survived, the rest all died under the sword.

After the battle, the doctors and officials gathered the troops, led an area each with a tacit understanding, and hurriedly cleared the battlefield.

It's freezing cold, and the dripping water turns into ice.

The soldiers didn't dare to delay, so they cut off the left ear of the Rong man and wrapped it in linen and animal skin so that the assistant officer could count the number of enemies killed.

In this battle, Zhi Xuan beheaded the chieftain, and his subordinates performed equally well.The Liangjia men killed more than [-] enemies, and one-third of them were tribal warriors.Marquis Nishihara would never have thought that his son would perform so well.

Seeing the statistical results, Fan Xu looked at Zhi Xuan with scrutiny.

Could it be that he misunderstood this son-in-law?

The gaze on his body was like a needle prick, and he didn't think about how to deal with it for a while, so Zhi Xuan simply remained silent and continued to maintain an indifferent face.This method may not be useful for Mi Wu Yang Hao, but it is not the case for Fan Xu.

Although the Fan family has daughters in the monarch's mansion, they are still not favored.So far, none of the monarch's children has Fan's blood.As a result, the relationship between the Fan family and the Mi family and Yang family has become very delicate.

The Mi family has two ministers, and the son Kang, as the eldest son of the monarch, naturally has the advantage.Mrs. Yang is favored more than Mrs. Mi, and the son is smart and favored by the monarch.

Both have advantages and differences.

The only thing is, no matter who becomes the eldest son in the future, he will vigorously support the mother clan.

Zhixuan is the son of the emperor, and his mother is a marquis of Dongliang. Even if he ascends to the throne, it will not endanger Fan Xu's status in the court.In order to suppress Mi Shi and Yang Shi, maybe they will try to win him over.Similar methods are not uncommon, and Marquis Xiyuan used them with great proficiency.

If Fan Xu operates properly, he may not be able to use Zhi Xuan to gain more power.

But there is a prerequisite for all of this, Zhi Xuan can live to become the crown prince.Then he received the sword bestowed by the king, inherited the power of the monarch, and became the next Marquis of Xiyuan.

With consideration in mind, Fan Xu swayed from side to side in his choice, and he would naturally bring out some points in his actions.

For now, he may not show much kindness to Zhi Xuan, but he will not expect him to die as soon as possible like the Mi brothers.

It was precisely after seeing this that Zhi Xuan grasped the scale, hid his hole cards, and let the opponent guess everything.

Fan Xu is not a monarch after all, even if there are doubts in his heart, if Zhi Xuan doesn't take the initiative to speak up, he can't force the answer.

He has scruples, so he can't be too strong.

Fan Xu might not have been so cautious before being a hunter.

Nowadays, Zhixuan has repeatedly shown unusual behavior, which proves that he is not unlearned and incompetent, at least he is quite talented in marching and fighting, and Fan Xu's attitude naturally changes.

For Zhi Xuan, whose planned role was in jeopardy, it was barely a kind of consolation.

The corpses of the Rong people were quickly counted and piled up together, leaving them to the wild beasts in the wasteland.The cattle and sheep that escaped in the chaos were recovered one after another, the loss was inevitable, and the quantity still satisfied Fan Xu and others.

According to the surviving Rong population, they are not one tribe, but three tribes.

Before the White Plague occurred, each tribe had a population of more than one thousand, and the largest was close to two thousand. They could be called powerful.After the white disaster, a large number of livestock in the tribe died, and the population also declined sharply.The largest tribe suddenly launched a war and encroached on the surrounding area by force. Instead of being weakened by the disaster, its strength was once strengthened.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and the strange wind swept across the grassland, and the new tribe was not spared.

Zhi Xuan couldn't understand the language of the Rong people, so he could only rely on others to relay it.Hearing what the Rong tribe had done, they couldn't help frowning.

When a disaster happened, instead of trying to save yourself, you brandished a butcher knife to rob others?

Looking at the narrator's appearance, he should be accustomed to it, and he doesn't feel that there is anything wrong.

The Rong people spoke very quickly. When they talked about the tribe being forced to migrate, they encountered a pack of wolves and a snowstorm on the way, and were later caught up by the army. Their fear was beyond words.Probably thinking of Sen Leng with the blade on his neck, several Rong people lay on the snow, their bodies shaking non-stop.

Zhi Xuan didn't intend to continue listening, he thanked the doctor who relayed the story for him, and returned to the temporary tent, ready to receive the spoils from this battle.

"My lord, there are [-] sheep, [-] cattle, [-] horses, and [-] animal skins."

The assistant officer under Fan Xu's command personally sent a wooden slip recording the battle achievements, which clearly indicated the number of enemies killed by Zhi Xuan and his subordinates in this battle.The military exploits need to be handed over to the Marquis of Xiyuan, and rewards will be given after returning home.Cattle, sheep and horses set aside the part that is handed over to the monarch, and the rest is distributed on the spot.

Zhixuan made a lot of contributions in this battle, and the spoils he got were second only to Fan Xu and above all the clans.

After reading the wooden slips and confirming that they were correct, Zhi Xuan handed them over to the assistant officer face to face.

After the assistant officer left, Zhi Xuan distributed the cattle, sheep and horses again according to the merits of his subordinates.For the extra part, the cattle, horses and sheep were all slaughtered and handed over to the army servants and servants for roasting and cooking.

"Each soldier has a leg of lamb and two pieces of stewed meat."

Zhixuan's order was issued, and there were cheers in the camp.

Not long after, the snow water in the pot boiled, and a large piece of mutton was thrown into it. There was not much seasoning, only salt and two herbs provided by Sangyi were added. .

Zhixuan ordered people to continue to burn the fire, and roasted the whole leg of lamb on the fire.

The smell of the leg of lamb was stronger and spread out, let alone a soldier, even Zhi Xuan couldn't help swallowing.

The mutton soup boiled three times, and the waiters lifted the lid of the pot and scooped up the mutton with long spoons.Holding the wooden tray, the soldier used a knife to tie up the portion of the stewed meat. He squatted on the ground and tore it up, ignoring the heat.

The leg of lamb was roasted and brought to Zhi Xuan first.

Zhi Xuan cut off a piece with a knife, dipped some salt and put it in his mouth. The original taste was different from the barbecue with various seasonings in his memory.

"Thank you, Young Master, for the food!"

The soldiers who got the lamb leg and mutton took turns to salute in front of the tent, expressing their loyalty in this way and vowing to serve Zhixuan.It also includes 20 people given to him by the monarch.

Zhixuan's performance on the battlefield was admired by the soldiers, and this gift of food won everyone's heart.

The soldiers had enough to eat and drink, and there was still a lot of mutton in the pot.According to the custom, the servant and the servant share the food.The slaves had no meat to eat, so they were each given a large bowl of hot broth, plus the bones with marrow, and they ate to their heart's content.

When Fan Xu learned of Zhi Xuan's actions, he didn't say much, and also ordered people to kill sheep to reward the soldiers in the army.

Seeing him act like this, the clans followed suit.

For a moment, the smell of broth wafted from the entire camp, and the entire army, including the slaves, had a delicious meal.

In the temporary sheepfold, the Rong people smelled the fragrance and swallowed involuntarily, their eyes turned red from hunger.

When the sheep driver saw them, he raised his wooden stick and beat them down hard without any fear, driving them directly to the other side of the sheepfold.

"Go away, or cut off your tongue!"

The servant's village was once attacked by the Rong people, who robbed him of food, burned his house and killed his relatives.

These servants all had hope, thinking that one day they would be able to fight the enemy.I don't ask for the status of a Chinese, I just want to avenge my hatred with my own hands!

The army rested for two days, and Fan Xu sent two more groups of scouts, but unfortunately no trace of the tribe was found.

The date of the end of the hunt was getting closer and closer, and the army could not stay any longer. Fan Xu ordered the camp to be pulled out, and the whole army turned around and returned to the suburbs.

There are a lot of livestock in the team, and the marching speed will inevitably be slowed down.

Fortunately, the slaves and slaves were very experienced, and together with the Rong people who led the way, the army successfully avoided a snowstorm, passed through the damaged tribal camp, and got closer and closer to the suburbs.

On the way, the scouts found two other teams, one led by Miwu, and the other from Bei'an.

Mi Wu didn't gain much from this trip, only found two small tribes, and the spoils he captured were not worth the consumption of the army on the road.

The Bei'an army encountered a blizzard on the road, unfortunately lost their way, deviated from the original route to the west, failed to find the Di people, and instead entered the nomadic territory of the Rong people.

Fortunately, they encountered a large tribe with a lot of exploits and captured more cattle and sheep than Fan Xu.

The three teams met and compared each other, and Mi Wu lost face a bit.

Qing of Bei'an Kingdom was smiling, but his words were not pleasant.Fan Xu came forward to make a rescue and asked why the other party appeared in this direction.

"Shouldn't you lead the army to seek Di?"

As soon as this remark came out, the other party was successfully silenced, and he was ashamed to speak out again to ridicule Mi Wu.

The army continued on their way, with Mi Wu and Fan Xu walking in parallel.

Looking across at Zhixuan in the team, Miwu asked Fan Xu: "How is the battle for Young Master Xuan?"

"Fair." Fan Xu said.

"What's the meaning of this?" Mi Wu frowned, thinking that the other party was perfunctory.

Seeing his expression, Fan Xu immediately ordered the driver to speed up, apparently not intending to continue talking to him.

This made Mi Wu very breathless, and his face became very ugly.

Seeing his behavior like this, Fan Xu couldn't help laughing, Mrs. Mi has been arrogant for a long time, and he is afraid that he has forgotten that Young Master Kang is not the son of the prince.As the same Liuqing, why did Miwu think that he would answer the question he asked?

Turning his gaze to Zhi Xuan, thinking about what Su Hu had mentioned earlier, Fan Xu began to seriously consider whether this son of the first line is worthy of his changing his position and using Fan's strength to support him?
