Chapter 21 The Wind Rising
Looking at Hongyun's appearance, Huo Gang almost laughed. This guy was a little interesting. There was still some water in the sheepskin water bag, and Huo Gang was not saving. He simply turned from the side to its mouth. Although Hongyun was just a horse, he was still very skilled in drinking water with the water bag, and he could even do nothing.
He fed all the remaining spiritual spring water to Hongyun. After drinking it, it sniffed directly, then came over and stuck out his tongue and licked Huo Gang's face.
"Okay, okay." Huo Gang stretched out his hand to block its tongue with some amusement and turned over to the horse, "We should go back, they should be back soon."
Hongyun directly looked up to the sky and let out a long hiss, lifted his front hooves and ran wildly towards the camp.
Not long after Huo just returned to the camp, Huo Zheng and his team had already returned with cattle and sheep. Their distance was not too far.
"General, the two camps have been cleaned up, and all the cattle, sheep, horses, and felt tents have been brought back." Huo Zhenghui reported.
"Half the tent here, Gongsun Lin." Huo Gang said.
"The last one will be there."
"You and your troops left behind the sheep and horses guarding here, leaving half of the food. Huo Zheng, we brought two hundred sheep, some horses and felt tents home." Huo Gang said in a deep voice.
Anyway, Yangguan is also within his territory. If there is a large-scale invasion of enemies, Huo Gang will know the distance between Yangguan and Yumenguan at the first time. If you ride a horse and run wildly, you can arrive in less than an hour.
"yes!"
Without dragging the mud, everything has been packed in advance. Huo Gang has limited manpower and can only defend the largest oasis. A large number of cattle and sheep also need to stay here, and they can take some of the others back.
The reason why Huo Gang brought this part of the food and cattle and sheep back was that Huo Gang wanted to tell his family that he would do what he promised!
...
Just as Huo Gang and his friends set out for Yumen Pass, there was also a Turkic man in front of An Hu and Liu An, the Turkic leader Bormu, who had attacked Huo Gang and others before.
However, unlike before, Bormud was kneeling on the ground by two soldiers at this moment.
"Bormu, if you want to find a real enemy, just talk well. If you don't want to avenge your tribe, I'll send you down to see them." An Hu sneered and spoke coldly.
"An Hu, if it weren't for you, they wouldn't have died!" Bormu raised his head suddenly, staring at An Hu with a pair of red eyes.
"Hahaha!" An Hu laughed a few times, then lowered his head again. The smile on his face instantly became a little ferocious. He stared at Bormu fiercely and said, "Bormu, you know what the hell are you doing!"
"It's right that they are your tribe, but if you don't rob and kill people for money and act as horse thieves in the Western Regions, they won't cause any death. Yes, there is indeed a deal between us, and I don't know that he has such elite cavalry behind him."
"But so what? If you are really just an honest ordinary herder, you will not be involved in this murderous disaster! After all, it is your greed that harms you."
"You Turks are like wolves on the grassland. When you smell the fishy smell of prey, you will flock to it. When you devour the flesh and blood of prey, you should have thought that there would be such a day."
"So, if you have to say that your tribe was slaughtered, the real reason is you, Bormu! So, what do you say now?! Take revenge! Or I'll send you down to reunite with your tribe!" An Hu asked with a ferocious look on his face.
"Hu...hu..." Bormu was panting violently, and his eyes were staring at An Hu like a hungry wolf. After a long time, Bormu spoke in a muffled voice: "Let me go!"
An Hu looked at it and waved his hand: "Let him go."
The two soldiers behind Bormu then let go of their feet that were bent on Bormu's legs and took a step back.
Getting up from the ground, Bormu glanced at An Hu viciously, and then said coldly: "The deal between us ends here, but I want to use Huo Gang's head to pay tribute to my tribe! But An Hu, one day, I will take your life!"
"Okay! I, An Hu, wait for you to take my life! But now, we have a common goal. You are alone now. What are you going to do?!" An Hu didn't care about Bormu's harsh words at all, even though he understood that the Turkic man in front of him was a hungry wolf.
An Hu's words silenced Bormu. Yes, what should he do now? His tribe has been slaughtered by Huo Gang! He was slaughtered completely! No one left! So cruel! Thinking of this, Bormu made a "creak" sound of his teeth, and he wished he could swallow Huo Gang alive now.
"If you don't have a good idea, I have a suggestion here. Do you want to listen?" An Hu looked at Bormu and spoke again.
"You said." Bormu glanced at An Hu. Although he was unwilling to admit it, he had to admit that these Tang people had better brains than him in this regard. Although Bormu was a reckless man, he also had a brain and knew what to listen to.
"Publicate what they did on the grassland, I think your Shi Lifa will avenge you! If he doesn't do it, he will lose the reputation of this area! If he doesn't do this, you will be revengeful to a tribe who was slaughtered. I don't believe that you have no good friends with the tribe. I believe that with your ability, you will rise and grow again sooner or later." An Hu said his method directly without beating around the bush.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to, but that Bormu doesn’t understand the oblique words.
Bormu glanced at An Hu deeply, and then said coldly: "I understand, but I won't be grateful to you. If I had that day, don't worry, after destroying Huo Gang, I will look for you next time."
"Hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are waiting for you here." An Hu also sneered and said.
Bormu stopped talking, turned around and walked out of the account.
"Give him his horses and belongings back." An Hu explained.
"yes!"
...
After Bormu left, Liu An, who had been sitting in the main seat, smiled and said, "Mr. An is a good trick to drive away the tiger and swallow the wolf."
"General Liu is polite, but in this way, he helped Huo Gang from the side." An Hu couldn't see any happiness on his face, but sighed.
"Oh? How do you say this?" Liu An looked at An Hu curiously and asked.
