"General, let's start directly from the back and copy the other party's lair?" Zhang Lang smiled and came to Ji Rin, but the horse under his seat was not with him, but tilted his head and leaned straight towards the black horse under Zhu Yuan's seat.

"Wang Langjun and Yizhi (Wei Yunzi) haven't come back yet, and the layout of the other party's military camp and the storage of grain and grass are not clear, so you want to send troops, so you can grow some heart-eyed sons!" Zhu Yuan heard it on the side, and couldn't help but sneer.

"I'll talk to the general!" Even though he couldn't see clearly in the dark, Zhang Lang still rolled his eyes at Zhu Yuan.

Three days ago, they camped from Hangao, and the group went straight to Shuoxue Pass, Daqin Shangma, the forbidden army has never lacked horses, because their riding skills are also good, this time in order to hide the traces, Ji Rin first ordered to collect the flag, wrapped the horse's hooves, and ordered the house to prepare dry food for three days, If it was indispensable at the beginning, Yang Feng Yin violated the people, But now they are as obedient as quails, although Ji Rin commanded although not as good as the Ji family's army, but also saved a lot of thought.

Ji Rin led everyone all the way to the plains, but the weather was so cold that even the crotch armor worn by the soldiers was covered with a thin layer of ice, and they only rested for two and a half hours a day, which shortened the three-day journey to two and a half days.

When they were still eight miles away from Shuoxue Pass, it was noon on October 17.

Last night, a heavy snow covered the withered yellow grassland, today the sun came out, hot hanging in the sky, the snow slightly melted, the horses walked on the ankle-submerged snow, leaving a clear footprint, the cold wind in the face was like a knife, Ji Rin ordered everyone to set up camp first, pile up an igloo to keep out the cold, and on the other hand, Wang Xiu and Wei Yun led more than ten people to inquire about the news.

Because of the proximity to the battlefield, everyone did not dare to make a fire to cook, but quickly piled up an ice wall around the camp tent to block the wind, and in the camp tent, a pair of people each boiled boiling water and filled their stomachs with slightly dry and hard dough cakes.

It was not until three o'clock in the hour that the hungry people woke up from their sleep, and Ji Rin had already ordered the gang to boil a big pot of spicy soup, a bowl of soup in the stomach, and all the limbs and bones were warmed, so that everyone packed up, fed the horses, and stood by in the camp, just waiting for news from Wang Xiu and Wei Yun.

Zhang Lang has always been idle, and he thinks that he was scolded with a cane with Ji Rin three days ago, and they can be regarded as brothers who have had a fateful friendship, so he hastily gnawed two breads with spicy soup, and only half full, so he led the horses under the seat, and swayed in the camp to the Chinese army tent to find Ji Rin, who expected that the other party was not in the tent, and asked the guard's general to know that he took Yu Jing to the gate.

Zhu Yuan has always been with Zhang Lang two needles against Mai Mang, seeing that he was not in his queue, worried that this kid would make a mistake and involve him, so he turned over and turned the horse's head, kicked the horse's belly, and the horse trotted with him all the way, and soon followed Zhang Lang to Ji Rin.

"Ka-ka-" Just when the two of them were arguing vigorously, they heard three chirps of eagles in the air.

In the middle of the night, in the middle of the vast wilderness, a black shadow rushed in the direction where the two of them were!

Even though Zhang Lang was bold, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"This is a bird of prey that is kept at home, and it is used to deliver the message. Yu Jing saw that he was fierce, so he held a long knife and slashed towards the eagle, and hurriedly shouted.

"Good fellow, the buzzard and the falcon a few days ago, this is the eagle owl today—I have seen more birds of prey these days than I have seen in the past twenty years. Zhang Lang saw that the strange bird that seemed to have a human face fell on Yu Jing's shoulder obediently, the latter gently reached out and touched the bird's feathers, and took out the dried meat from the sheepskin bag he carried with him to feed the bird, and couldn't help but touch his nose in a huff, he was extremely unwilling to admit that he also wanted to get close to this majestic bird of prey.

"Lord, it's news from Captain Wei. Yu Jing waited for the bird to stand firm, and hurriedly untied the brocade silk tied to the bird's claws and handed it to Ji Rin, who was so silent that he led the horse to stand under the cold moon, as if he remembered something, and the corners of his mouth actually pulled up a gentle smile.

Hearing his words, Ji Rin seemed to come back to his senses, stretched out his hand to take the letter, and read the handwriting on the brocade silk by the bright moonlight.

Wei Yun's military report was as concise as his own, he roughly said that the two sides seemed to have only fought a battle before them, and each packed up their troops to clean up the battlefield during the day, and did not fight; and said that they just happened to save a wounded soldier with a broken hand, and the latter told them that a few days ago, Shuoxueguan beat drums in the middle of the night to wake up the Northern Wei, and the night before they arrived, the army of Ji Shanshuai robbed the camp, and the two sides fought, and the Northern Wei lost hundreds of horses; and finally they found out that the grain and grass of the Northern Wei Dynasty were placed in the northwest of the camp, guarded by 3,000 soldiers and horses.

- As for the usual greetings to the peak, there is not a word.

"Leave when the order goes down!" Ji Rin took off the fire fold hanging next to the saddle and burned the brocade silk, turned to Zhang Lang and Zhu Yuan and ordered.

"Wow!" It's strange to say, since they were cleaned up in Hanhai three days ago, these soldiers are convinced by Ji Rin, and it is almost every son's dream to make contributions, and before Ji Rin ordered Wei Yun to follow Wang Xiu to inquire about the news, the two of them couldn't wait for Ji Rin to arrange for them to do things, and at this time, after listening to Ji Rin's orders, they nodded in unison, and each led the horses back to the camp and went separately.

Tonight is a beautiful day, the lonely moon hangs high, the moonlight falls in the camp, only to see the flag festival, very strict, around the camp tent set up to block the snow wall, it is like a big snake guarding the barracks.

couldn't wait for a while, 40,000 horses and horses were in order, Ji Rin ordered Yu Jing to guard the camp in public, and left 10,000 soldiers and horses with him, and he set off with Zhang Lang and Zhu Yuan.

As he approached to set off, Ji Rin looked at the sky, and the moonlight reflected on the snow, and the snow was as bright as silver, so he ordered everyone to extinguish the torches, and checked the tightly wrapped cotton cloth on the horses' hooves, before setting off with the forbidden army.

Shuoxue Pass is sandwiched between the Hugao Mountains and the Yuxiu Mountains, Ji Rin led the army to the north, and the time he almost conquered the Northern Wei Dynasty was from Shuoxue Pass, because he knew the terrain of Shuoxue Pass almost well.

Out of the camp, he led the people to the north first, 30,000 horses through the bare birch forest, frightened the birds and birds that roost at night, crossed the hill and detoured along the Cangliu River to the valley, and walked for more than an hour before stopping.

"General, shall we rush down directly?" Zhang Lang looked at Ji Rin in surprise, if it weren't for the Beidou looming in the sky, he would almost be lost, but after such a while, they had already made a detour to the Fallen Leaf Mountain where the Northern Wei army was camped at its back.

"Zhu Yuan!" Ji Rin glanced at Zhang Lang, who was stupidly looking at the Northern Wei military camp sleeping under the cold moon, and involuntarily bent the corners of his mouth, ready to dry the other party first.

"The end will be!" Zhu Yuan heard Ji Rin nod himself first, and secretly estimated that he had won Zhang Lang again, his mood was excited, and his voice was extremely crisp.

"This general allocated 10,000 soldiers and horses with you, and you will stay here, wait until the third watch, see the camp under the mountain on fire, and then wave the army down, and go straight to the Chinese army of the Northern Wei Dynasty, can you do it?" Ji Rin didn't say anything about the side, but only gave an order.

"The last general commanded. When Ji Rin heard this, he ordered four lieutenants who had been friends with him in Su Rili, and Zhu Yuan simply led his sergeants to ambush himself.

"Zhang Dian!" Ji Rin ordered the head of the sect under Wei Yun and 5,000 men and horses, and ordered him to follow Wang Xiu's brother Wang Xiang from the path to burn the grain and grass of the Northern Wei Dynasty along the trail left by Wang Xiu.

Seeing that Ji Rin ordered a few other captains and Lang Jun in the Xuanyi Army to go to the west mountain range of Yuxiu Mountain to ambush, and when he heard the noise of soldiers and horses at dawn, he rushed to kill, and he didn't need to kill them all, only disperse the remnants and come back, Zhang Lang couldn't sit still anymore.

"General, the last general was wrong before, and now is the time to redeem the merits, please ask the general to order the last general to atone for his crimes!" Zhang Lang was originally an anxious son, but now he sees that everyone has merit to fight for, and he deeply hates his carelessness in front of him.

"I have a thing that I want to send you to, but lest you dare not. Ji Rin pretended to hesitate.

"Please also ask the general to order, don't say you don't dare, even if you go up the knife mountain and go down to the oil pot, you won't shirk!" Zhang Lang patted his chest and promised.

"Yesterday's Shuoxue Pass attack on the camp, presumably tonight the Northern Wei camp is more prepared, it is because I want you to be the vanguard, and attack the enemy head-on to attract the attention of the other party. If the Northern Wei Dynasty sends troops, you have to provoke from time to time, so that the other party comes forward to pursue, and wait for the Northern Wei army to catch fire, and then return to the army to cover up the killing, can you do it?" Ji Rin's face was embarrassed, and he said slowly when he saw Zhang Lang's repeated urging, "Only in this way, I can only order 3,000 soldiers with you, but I don't know how many Northern Wei pursuers, and the danger is difficult to explain in one word, are you willing?"

"The last general will take the order!" Zhang Lang was provoked by him, and he didn't have any reason, so he knelt on one knee and replied loudly, "Please also ask the general to wait for good news." ”

"That being the case, without further ado, General Ben is here to wait for Ziming (Zhang Lang's words) good news. Hearing this, Ji Rin patted Zhang Lang's shoulder hard.

"Whew!" Zhang Lang shook his arms when he heard this, and then took three thousand soldiers to detour to the south of the Northern Wei camp like a tiger and a wolf, pretending to be the defenders of Shuoxue Pass, and rushed straight towards the Northern Wei military camp!

Ji Rin took the remaining 12,000 people to wait in place, but when he saw the fire in the Northern Wei army, he relieved himself and did not return to the camp, but took the men and horses straight to Datong Changbei Town, a hundred miles away.
