    After reaching the most basic agreement with Wang Jian, Niu Ben didn't delay at all, and set off for Alma-Ata the next day, where the Huyan tribe of the Huns who had narrowly escaped the pursuit of the Qin people crossed the desert.  A place of settlement.

    The person who led the way for Niu Ben was a former ordinary soldier of the Qin Army. The reason why he was once an ordinary soldier was because he was now also a manor owner with hundreds of slaves. He was the owner of hundreds of slaves. In his own manor,  Here, he has an armed force of fifty people, which are naturally composed of his slaves. In normal times, these people usually help him manage the manor. If the general is called, he will take this fifty-man force with him.  Small troops join large armies and go to war.

    These fifty slave soldiers are fairly well equipped. They are all equipped with leather armor, helmets, waist knives and spears. The squad leader also wears a suit of iron armor. They march in a decent manner. They can be regarded as an elite force.  It seems to Ben that the Qin army also applied their military training methods to these slaves.

    "Yu Jiang, your soldiers and equipment are pretty good!" Niu Ben smiled and said to the young slave owner beside him.

    "It's pretty good for this land." Yu Jiang smiled, "When we first came to this land, although the people in power here had a lot of money, they refused to take it.  Come and arm their soldiers. Few of the soldiers fighting us are wearing armor, and their weapons are diverse. How can they be our opponents? Now that we are in charge, we will naturally not make the same mistakes as them."

    "That's right. Only when you are willing to invest can you gain big gains." Niu Ben nodded repeatedly.  "Yu Jiang, do you miss home?"

    Yu Jiang was stunned for a while, and then realized that the home Niu Ben mentioned should be his hometown in the distant Daqin. He pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "No!"

    "Don't you even miss your relatives? Judging from your age, you should still have relatives in your hometown, right?" Niu Ben looked at the young man in surprise.

    There was some sadness on Yu Jiang's face that was not consistent with his age, "General Niu. My hometown is in Yunzhong County, Daqin. There are three brothers in the family. I was the eldest one. When I came out, I was only ten.  When I was six years old, because my family couldn't support me anymore, I had no choice but to go out to serve as a soldier. In my memory, all I had left in my hometown was hunger, and the officials who came to my door to force me to pay.  When we walked into the desert, I never thought that I would survive. If my relatives back home were still alive, they would have thought that I was already living with the general.  Well, I got a wife, gave birth to a son this year, and am living a good life. For me, I only have painful memories of my hometown. I naturally miss my relatives in my hometown, but I can¡¯t help them. If one day there is no more war,  I will go back to find them, pick them up, and let them enjoy their happiness, but now, I can¡¯t miss them, so I can only force myself not to miss them.¡±

    Niu Ben nodded, "Yes. One day there will be no more war, and you can go back to your relatives openly."

    Yu Jiang suddenly smiled bitterly: "General Niu, you will definitely go to fight against Da Qin soon. My two brothers are eighteen and sixteen this year. If there is a big war, they will definitely be recruited.  Military, if possible, save their lives if you encounter them."

    Niu Ben sighed: "Although I really want to promise you, I don't want to hide it from you. I am not a general leading troops. Even if I were, I wouldn't be able to do this."

    Yu Jiang's face darkened, "Yes, in troubled times, people's lives are like dogs. Who can save whom? I hope they can survive."

    "Tell me about that big man in black. I see your general is very worried?" Niu Ben changed the topic.

    "No one from the vicinity of Shule was recruited in that battle, but I heard something from the brothers who came back later." A worried look appeared on Yu Jiang's face, "They are very powerful and they fight very hard. It's a pity that our original 30,000  There are only a few thousand brothers left, otherwise we might not lose to them, but now" He pointed at his slave soldiers in the team, "They are still far behind. In that battle, we  We have a good location and people to fight with, but we still have to deal with some defeated soldiers, but the losses are huge. I heard that the general is also very sad, and the old brothers have suffered a lot. "

    "Don't worry, you will defeat them, because we big men will help you." Niu Ben said with a smile.

    "But we can be considered enemies!" Yu Jiang said dubiously: "Although I don't hate you from the bottom of my heart, speaking of it, it's because you guys defeated us and we escaped here that I am now  life, if we had won the war and returned to Qin, or I would still be my soldier, I would be a sentry commander, with a pitiful military salary, let alone a wife, just feed myself  Not bad, so speaking of it, I nowEverything I have is thanks to you.  "

    Niu Ben laughed loudly and patted Yu Jiang's shoulder hard, "Brother, there are no eternal enemies. Don't forget, we are all from the Central Plains, and we are all people who came out of that land. Don't you feel  Will you be surprised to see me here?"

    "Don't tell me that you really feel this way!" Yu Jiang also laughed, "I can't understand what the people here say at all. After we got here, the general forced them to learn our language. All the generals are literate.  People here have been mobilized to teach the people here to speak our language. It is stipulated that those who cannot speak our language are not qualified to be officials. After two years of hard work, there are finally some people who can speak our language, although it sounds strange.  Awkward."

    "That's it, so although we have been enemies before, we still share the same roots, speak the same words, and write the same words. When you encounter enemies outside, we will naturally help you." Niu Ben said with emotion.  road.

    "Speaking of which, that's the same principle." Yu Jiang nodded, "A literate brother once said, what do you call a brother's wall"

    "Brothers and brothers are jealous of each other within the wall, and they can resist their insults from outside!" Niu Ben added.

    "Yes, that's what it means. Usually brothers fight to the death, but once someone bullies us, we have to deal with them together, that's what it means!" Yu Jiang said.

    "Yes, that's what I mean." Niu Ben laughed loudly. Looking at the guy in front of him, he actually liked him. He was a broad-minded guy, but he also had a lot of mind.

    Sometimes things in the world are really strange. The defeat of the Qin State caused the Qin State to go from prosperity to decline and sink step by step. But for those who participated in it, it was really hard to say whether it was a blessing or a blessing. What happened back then  The big loser Wang Jian is now the king of these thousands of square kilometers of land, and the little guy in front of him has transformed from a little soldier with nothing to a slave owner with hundreds of slaves, which is the standard of the Central Plains.  In other words, he can be considered a rich man.

    It was quite enjoyable to chat and laugh with this talkative little slave owner along the way. The originally boring journey also became interesting. The only boring thing was He Lanjie and his party, who always looked bitter and resentful.  Niu Ben also understood them very well. After all, Wang Jian and his son were once the great enemies who massacred tens of thousands of their fellow Huns.

    "General Niu, we are in front of Almaty. This place has entered the area controlled by the Huyan tribe. They are some barbarians. They burn, kill and loot, and they do everything. We have to be careful." Yu Jiang said to Niubeng's group of people, and immediately attracted  He Lanjie and others looked at each other angrily.

    "Don't be afraid. The Huns are your enemies here, but among us Han people, they are all our brothers." Niu Ben said with a smile, while looking at He Lanjie and others, hinting that they could suppress their anger.  Because of this, the king's important event was ruined. He Lanjie and his entourage were all gasping for air and their faces turned red, but they were speechless. Before leaving, He Lanxiong gave Qian's instructions and ten thousand instructions, and they must listen to everything during this trip.  He Lanjie and the others are good at fighting, but when it comes to these matters, they are at a loss.

    As soon as Yu Jiang finished speaking, there was a shrill sound of chirping and rumbling hoofbeats in front of him. About a hundred cavalrymen rushed towards their direction like lightning. Hearing the familiar sound of shouting, Helan  Jie and others all looked happy.  They all turned their heads and looked at Niu Ben.

    Niu Ben waved his hand, "You go ahead and be careful. They don't know whether you are friends or foes now."

    After receiving Niu Ben¡¯s permission, He Lanjie clamped his legs on the horse and ran forward, galloping continuously while shouting loudly on the horse.

    "What are they shouting?" Yu Jiang looked a little frightened, and the fifty soldiers under him were also a little panicked. Under the command of the squad leader, they hurriedly set up an array, and a square array of fifty soldiers was quickly formed.  , the spear is outside, the sword and shield are in the middle, several archers have taken off their bows and put their arrows on the strings. It is the standard tactic of using foot to guard the cavalry, which is quite a bit like the Qin soldiers.

    "They speak the language of the Huns, which I don't understand either." Niu Ben laughed and said, "The dozen or so people who just ran over are also Huns. You walked such a long distance with them, which shows that they are not barbaric.  He does all kinds of evil, right?"

    Yu Jiang blushed suddenly, "Are they Huns too?"

    "Yes, I told you, you and the Huns are enemies, but in our Han Dynasty, the Huns are brothers with us!" Niu Ben said with a smile.

    Ahead, the battle that Yu Jiang expected did not break out. The two sides stopped dozens of meters away. He saw the dozen people who came with him from Shule jumped off their horses and opened their arms.  With both arms, he strode towards the men and horses of the Huyan tribe.  (~^~)
