Cowardly Stepmother Dressed As the Hero

On the grassland, a small Rong tribe with a family and a family, driving a small herd of cattle and sheep, is moving north.

It was almost noon, and when they were about to stop and rest for a while, they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them.

The tribe's patriarch, Ami, felt his heart beat violently, and when he looked back, he saw dozens of Rong men on horses chasing them directly from behind, and quickly surrounded them.

The number of visitors is not more than that of the Ami tribe, but most of them are strong men with fighting ability. These people surrounded the Ami tribe with more than 60% of the old and young, women and children, like a group of wolves that had found their prey.

"Ami, you really shouldn't do this..." Gu Le, the patriarch of the Ale tribe, directed the horse under his crotch to take two steps forward, and looked at Ami sadly.

Ami flushed with excitement, gritted her teeth and stared at a woman behind Guler who was covering her face with a sackcloth.

Then, he pointed directly at Mrs. Zhang and shouted angrily: "Gu Le, you are all blinded by this evil Sheng Dynasty woman!

"Are you going to betray the great Khan and the gods on the steppe?"

Guller frowned.

He took a deep breath, tried to calm his mind, and persuaded again: "Ami, you are confused. We were driven to this barren place south of Jurong City, didn't the Khan abandon us first?

"Have you forgotten how a few years ago, the men of our tribe were forcibly taken away by the Khan, and how we who lost our youth were driven out of our original territory?"

"But, we shouldn't take refuge in the Sheng Dynasty and be with those people!" Ami shouted back hoarsely: "Aren't the young people of my tribe dying at their hands?"

Gullor sighed and stopped discussing the issue with him.

In fact, both of their statements are correct, but the two tribes have completely different concerns about this matter.

No matter how Guler explained it, Ami would seize the point that "the murderer was from Sheng Chao" and argue with him endlessly.

"However, now, it is the people of Sheng Dynasty who can keep us alive." Gu Le thought for a while and said again: "You thought you were going back to the royal court with the news that Sheng Dynasty was going to attack Jurong City. Is the court willing to ignore you?

"You may not know that the eldest prince is dead, and now in the royal court, Prince Zuo and the others are fighting for blood.

"Even if Jirong City is really captured by the people of Sheng Chao, they will not pay attention to this side with a single glance."

"Heh." Ami snorted coldly, "You are here like us, how do you know the news of the royal court?"

He once again took aim at the only person from the Sheng Dynasty who was going to be present - Mrs. Zhang: "All of this, all of this is caused by this woman!

"She brought disaster and made up some unverifiable things. You have all been deceived by her, and you have no doubts about her, right?"

Zhang Shi, who had been silent for a long time, finally raised his eyes and looked at Ami.

Seeing that she finally reacted, Ami became even more arrogant: "Evil Sheng Dynasty woman, even if these people are all bewitched by you, we Ami will not believe you.

"We will go back to the depths of the steppe and back to the Khan to be loyal to him."

Just as Zhang Shi was about to say something, another Rong racer beside her rode a horse and came to Gu Le's side.

He was the head of another tribe near the Arai tribe.

The men who came to besiege the Ami this time are actually from different tribes, but they all have one feature in common.

The locations of their tribes are all located around the Ale people, and they are also the first Rong people to benefit from the wool purchase initiated by the Zhang family.

The original barren situation in the tribe was improved by the wool trade. After the opening of the Changling Market, the wealth of several tribes was gradually accumulated. These people are now firmly tied to the same boat with the Ale people because of their interests.

In fact, the original Ami tribe was the same, but since Zhang's summoned all the tribal leaders and discussed the matter with everyone, the Ami tribe "mutated".

At this time, this person saw Ami attacking Zhang, and he just sneered and said, "Ami, I don't care what you are thinking.

"I only know that now Khan doesn't care about our lives, but the people of Sheng Chao can keep us fed and clothed, and make our cattle and sheep more and more.

"I don't want to talk nonsense with you. If we let you go now, we are cutting off our own way of life."

Ami also knows that being caught up at this time means that it is impossible to be kind today.

He stared at the people in front of him with a split canthus, and shouted hoarsely, "You traitors of the gods."

"How can this be considered a betrayal of the gods?" the man responded again.

He pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "I remember that the most powerful Tianyi tribe around Khan, didn't they still serve as courtiers under Emperor Shengchao more than fifty years ago?

"When the Sheng Dynasty was at its most powerful, they attached to the Sheng Dynasty and became the army of the Sheng Dynasty, and then they were keenly aware of the change in the situation, so they returned to the Khan and helped the Khan capture the sites of Jurong City. Now , The Tianyi people are right around the royal court, where the water and grass are the best, grazing a large number of strong cattle and sheep."

As he spoke, he held his head high and said directly: "The person who knows the current affairs is Junjie.

"The Sheng Dynasty is not weak now, and the King of Bei'an even has the power to retake the city of Junrong. We rely on them, just like the Tianyi tribe at the beginning, planting a seed for the future wealth and wealth!"

His remarks obviously spoke to the hearts of many people, and the surrounding Rong men who came to besieged with the Ale tribe all waved and cheered.

Only Mrs. Zhang lowered his head with a deep gaze.

The two sides communicated here, in fact, there is nothing to say.

Gu Le raised the machete in his hand and asked in a raised voice, "Ami, I will ask you for the last time, are you going back with us obediently, or will you force us to do it?"

Ami snorted disdainfully: "I'm going back with you now, will you still accept us?

"Stop talking nonsense, let's fight!"

After saying this, he began to organize the resistance of the men in the tribe.

Seeing this, Gu Le exchanged glances with the person next to him and began to act according to the original plan.

The people around Zhang Shi respectfully invited her out, Zhang Shi nodded and took the initiative to retreat to a hill several dozen meters away from the battlefield.

The sound of fighting sounded quickly, accompanied by the panicked shouts of the women and children, making Zhang's forehead aching faintly.

She could only close her eyes and shield herself from the outside world.

I don't know how long it took, and all the Ami tribes, which had little resistance at all, were taken down. The victorious Rong people **** the Ami captives, gathered their supplies, and prepared to take them back to divide the spoils equally.

When Gu Le came to call Mrs Zhang, Mrs Zhang discovered that the battlefield was almost cleaned up.

She nodded to Gu Le: "Patriarch, after this place is cleaned up, we can go back."

Gu Le smiled: "Well, Mrs. Zhang, in this way, you can explain to the King of Bei'an in Sheng Chao, right?"

Zhang Shiqiang pulled out a smile and said to him, "Yes, the lord will see our sincerity.

"Our wool business, as well as the preferential treatment received by Changling, can continue forever!"

Guler rubbed his hands together and nodded happily.

Five days later.

Qi You took more than 1,200 personal soldiers and went to the Ale people to stay overnight.

Even if they were mentally prepared in advance, the people of the Ale tribe couldn't help but feel apprehensive when they saw these more than 1,000 majestic soldiers.

Zhang shi invited Qi You to a gorgeous and clean Rong tent: "This is a new place specially prepared for the prince. The time is hasty and the preparations are not thorough. Please don't dislike it."

Qi You didn't care about such details.

He found a place to sit down at random and asked, "How? Did things go well before?"

Mrs. Zhang replied, "It went well."

She asked people to bring snacks and milk tea, and explained the affairs of the Ami tribe to Qi You in detail a few days ago, and added: "...Khan loyalists like the Ami tribe have been found out during this period of time. , solved it directly.

"Now, including the Ale tribe, the five nearby tribes are all willing to cooperate with the prince's actions unconditionally."

Qi You nodded: "Well, you worked hard."

The location of these tribes of the Ale tribe is in the southernmost part of the Rong territory, that is, between Changling and Jurong City.

More than a month has passed since the decision to set out to fight against Rongcheng. During this period of time, while Qi You mobilized his personal soldiers to train in Changling, he approached Mrs. Zhang and talked about the tribes of the Ale tribe.

After all, it is impossible for him to watch the hidden dangers of the Ale people, and when he attacked Jurong City, what happened.

According to Qi You's original idea, he wanted to send people to directly suppress these tribes first. After all, the Ale tribes, the Rong tribes who were driven to the south, were not enough to see the fighting strength in front of King Bei'an, who was holding elite soldiers.

But Mrs. Zhang said she could handle it.

Qi You thought about it and gave her a chance. So this time, his people did not directly intervene, and only silently paid attention to the situation here.

Up to now, he also knew that Mr. Zhang had done things well.

Hearing this, Mrs Zhang shook his head and said, "Don't dare, Minwomen can do this, thanks to the support of the Lord and the Princess for the Minwomen over the years.

"If it weren't for the preferential treatment of the Ale people in the wool trade and the market, it is impossible for the women to have such a high reputation among these Rong people."

Qi You smiled: "You don't have to be humble.

"If you change to an ordinary woman, you may not be able to do it to your level."

Zhang's heart was also overjoyed when he was praised.

After thinking about it for a while, she expressed her worries for the past two days: "My lord... the women are a little afraid, and many people from the tribe are not sincere."

She repeated what she heard that day in front of Qi You, and said: "...Those people are willing to cooperate because they see that the prince is now strong and can give them a way to survive. If one day, the Rong clan... ...they will also turn their backs directly like the Tianyi tribe before.

"The women have been worrying about this for the past few days and don't know what to do."

Qi You heard the words and sneered.

Unlike Zhang's worries, he doesn't care about this kind of thing: "The Rong people have been like this since ancient times, not only in the present, but also in the past. Where are the tribes that used to be attached to the prosperous dynasty now? where?

"It has been a long time since ancient times, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a 'wise choice'."

Zhang Shi was stunned.

Qi You's words did not dispel her doubts, but made her even more worried.

Qi You smiled and said again: "People live for a hundred years, and no one can predict what will happen in the future.

"This king only knows that as long as this king is in Liaozhou for one day, they should know who is their real backer!"
