In the Cavil Salt Desert in Cernan Province, a group of 2,000 slaves, escorted by 500 food soldiers, struggled to move southwest.
Everyone's lips were dry and cracked.
Wearing shackles on their feet and wooden shackles on their hands, they walked with difficulty.
From time to time, someone fell down in the salt marsh and could not get up again.
The escorting cavalry did not care and allowed them to be Everyone abandoned it.
This salt desert was once an inland ocean in ancient times.
Its terrain is low.
Due to the lack of rain and strong surface evaporation, the salt and alkali here are caked on the salt marsh.
It is uninhabited due to lack of water.
There are only sparsely populated villages on the surrounding mountains.
Salt-alkali agglomerates cover the salt marsh, which looks extremely solid, but actually collapses when stepped on.
Now there is no way out of the salt marsh, and it is impossible for humans and animals to pass through.
The lips of a tall slave among the slaves were dry and cracked, with blood seeping out from the cracks, and his eyes were lifeless.
A slave next to him recognized him and began to laugh: "Ha, isn't this General Branod?
Why, have you also fallen into this situation?
Hahaha, when you led the army to attack us, you captured all the people."
It’s killing, I didn’t expect that life would be worse than death now.”
This lofty effort is the Guards general Branod who was deprived of his military position and title by Mansur and demoted to a slave.
He became a victim of Mansur's attempt to ease relations with the Western Qin Dynasty, so he appeared.
Here it is.
Branod turned his head and glanced at the man next to him who was laughing at him.
He said nothing and looked indifferent.
He continued to walk forward.
Another slave said to the slave who laughed at Branod: "No matter what he did before, now He has become the same slave as us.
Maybe in the future we will have to help each other to survive.
It’s better to save some energy now."
While the slaves were walking hard, several small black spots appeared on the bare hills in the distance.
Liu Ren rode on horseback and said to Gudres: "General, I have sent people to find out.
There are more than two thousand slaves in this group of slaves who are about to be escorted to Alexandria.
They were all our people, and these There is another person among them that you would never expect.
Do you want to know who he is?"
Guderesi asked: "Who?"
"Branod" "Who?"
Guderesi was startled: "Who are you talking about, Branod?
How could he be here?
Are you kidding me?"
Liu Ren shook his head and smiled: "I'm not kidding.
In order to resolve the border confrontation between the east and the north and free up troops to deal with the Eastern Roman Empire and Salad, your caliph had to sacrifice Branod and deprive took away his military power and title, and demoted him to a slave.
Now he is among those slaves."
"Ha, haha, hahaha" Guderesi laughed, and finally said angrily: "Just in time, this time I want him to fully know how powerful I am, and I want to shave him alive to satisfy the hatred in my heart."
Liu Ren quickly said: "General, we are not here to scratch Branod this time, but to rescue him and these people."
Guderesi said angrily: "Of course I am happy to deal with these our people, but I don't understand why we need to rescue Branod.
He is our enemy.
If it weren't for him, how could we have been defeated so miserably?"
The army was beaten by him until only 7,000 people were left."

Liu Ren advised: "General, you are a person who wants to do great things, and you are also a person destined to achieve great things.
You must have a broad mind.
If the world knows that you can forgive your enemies and entrust them to I think many people in the food country will follow you and serve Allah.”
Guderesi was a little dizzy and beaming with praise at this sentence, but he quickly shouted: "What, how is it possible that you asked me to entrust Branod with a heavy responsibility?"
Liu Rendao: "General, Branod was once the commander of the Guards of the Great Eating Caliph Mansur.
He has high military talent and talent.
You must know that it is not a fluke that he can defeat you.
If he can serve as a general What are you afraid of in the future?
If you want to achieve great things, you must have talents around you.
You can't do it alone.
Someone must help you, and Branod is obviously the best for you.
A useful person” Guderesi looked at Liu Ren helplessly.
After his experience in Huarizimo, he began to become a little afraid of Liu Ren.
This Liu Ren was so mysterious that he was actually the same as Huarizimo.
Anbahan called himself brother and sister, and even hugged each other and laughed obscenely with the commander of the Eighth Army of the Western Qin Dynasty.
This made Liu Ren feel scared when he looked at him.
"Okay, okay, even if I don't hold grudges against Branod and don't mind how he treated me, I still have the heart to entrust him with a heavy responsibility, but I still have to agree to serve me."
Liu Ren smiled and said: "Leave this matter to me.
I guarantee that he can serve you.
Now it's your turn to take action.
Take your sons and sons and rush down to kill the big food officers and soldiers.
Please rescue all your former subordinates."
Gudres nodded, raised his hand and waved forward.
Behind him, more than a thousand cavalrymen slowly rode over, and a long row of black shadows soon appeared on the hill.
With a "swish" sound, Gudres pulled out the scimitar from his waist and shouted at one finger: "Believers and warriors of Allah, follow me and rush down to kill our enemies and save our brothers, Allah" "Allah" everyone shouted, holding up their weapons and following Gudres on horseback as they rushed down the hill.
"There's an ambush, there's an ambush, get ready to meet the enemy!"
the Dashi cavalry escorting the slaves began to shout.
Before the Great Food Officers had time to assemble to fight, Gudres had already rushed over with his men and horses, and fired arrows one after another.
Although the accuracy was insufficient, many of the Great Food Cavalry were still hit by arrows and fell from their horses. .
A fierce battle unfolded on the salt marsh.
People kept screaming and falling from their horses.
The slaves were all wearing shackles and wooden shackles.
They couldn't run away at all.
They could only squat on the spot and pray that the sword would not fall on them. , while always paying attention to the development of the killing situation.
Guderres finally defeated, and all the 500 cavalry escorting the slaves were killed, but he also lost more than 200 people.
He lost so many people in a sneak attack, which shows the combat effectiveness of his troops.
Not really.
"It's the general.
The general is here to save us.
Oh, God, am I not dreaming?"
All the slaves cheered, their shackles and wooden shackles were all opened, they were all free again, and began to help the soldiers clean the battlefield, drink water and eat.
Guderrez walked up to Branod holding the handle of the knife and asked: "Branod, do you still recognize me?"
When Branod saw it, it turned out to be Gudres and said calmly: "Kill me."
Guderrez was stunned by Branod's reaction.
He originally wanted to pardon his sins as a winner in front of Branod, but he didn't expect that this guy wanted to die.

Guderesi: "You actually want to die.
I didn't say I wanted to kill you.
How about this?
You swear allegiance to me and I will spare your life and appoint you as my most capable general.
What do you think?"
Branod looked at Gudres as if he were an idiot: "Do you think it's possible for me to be loyal to a defeated general?"
"You are so bold.
Believe it or not, I will immediately order you to be killed," Guderis said angrily.
Liu Ren rode over and shouted: "Slow down, slow down, General, let me talk to General Branold."
"Okay, I'll hand this annoying guy over to you.
I hope you can treat me better.
Otherwise, if I can't control my emotions, the consequences will be serious."
Branod was taken to a tent that had just been set up by Liu Ren, and had his shackles and wooden shackles removed.
This surprised Branod.
He asked, "Your Excellency, you are not afraid of me."
Should I kill you?
You must know that the guards here are not my opponents yet.
I can deal with them in an instant and then kill you."
Liu Ren smiled and said: "General, what good will it do you if you kill me?"
"This" Branod was speechless, but he quickly said: "If you want to convince me to be loyal to Guderres, you better not waste your breath.
I will not be loyal to my defeated general."
Liu Rendao: "Your Excellency, General, everyone in this world has their own strengths and weaknesses.
If you want to achieve something, you must maximize your strengths to stand out.
Your strength lies in your military talent.
You have rich combat skills." experience, but if you don't become a general, you will never have a chance to turn around in your life.
I admit that Gudres is not as good as you in military talent, but you should know that Mansour's military talent is not that good either.
Why were you loyal to him in the first place?”
Branod said: "This is different.
Mansoor has the demeanor and temperament of a king.
He is the representative of Allah in the world."
"But this representative of Allah in the world sacrificed you.
If you must choose a person with kingly temperament and demeanor to surrender, I can recommend someone to you."
"Gudres?
He'll forget it."
"It's not him."
Liu Ren shook his head.
The two talked for a long time in the camp.
When Gudres saw Branod again, he found that he was talking and laughing with Liu Ren.
They had a good relationship and were like good friends for many years.
After Branod was led to eat and drink by the soldiers, Gudres pointed at Branod's back in shock and asked: "Daozhang Liu, what on earth did you say to him?
He seems to have changed into a different person."
Liu Ren looked mysterious: "The secret must not be revealed":
