Facing Sima Mao's abrupt question, Dongfang Yufu was stunned for a moment.

After a while, Dongfang Yufu remembered something, he slapped his head suddenly, and exclaimed: "At noon, Sima Xian's nephew went to pass the elder brother's military order to the elder brother, and at that time, the spies arranged by the elder brother in front came to report that it was the advance force of the Northwest Army of the Cyanide Kingdom, and it was about to arrive at the Imperial Beast Pass.

When Sima Xian's nephew heard this, he discussed with his brother on the spot, and the virtuous nephew asked his brother to give him some men and horses, go to the valley tops on both sides of the Royal Beast Pass, and set up an ambush bow and arrow array.

The virtuous nephew wanted to set up an ambush in front of the Imperial Beast Pass and raid the advance troops of the Northwest Army, and try to delay them as much as possible, so as to buy some time for the Great Sima to capture the divine soldiers.

At that time, no matter how the elder brother dissuaded Sima Xian's nephew, Sima Xian's nephew insisted on his own ideas, and the eldest brother really couldn't resist him, seeing that the virtuous nephew was also thinking about the overall situation, he selected some elite soldiers from the army and left them for him according to Sima Xian's nephew's proposal.

Originally, he planned to go back to Lang City and meet with Brother Sima, so he reported the matter to Brother Sima, but he just ......"

Dongfang Yufu regretted in her heart, after all, she handled this matter by herself, and it was indeed a little sloppy and inappropriate, and Sima Mao would definitely blame herself.

But when Sima Mao listened to his statement, he didn't blame him, but nodded in approval.

What happened later, there is no need to tell it in Oriental language, Sima Mao naturally knows.

So when Dongfang Yufu said the word 'just', Sima Mao immediately waved his hand to interrupt Dongfang Yufu's words, and said with a smile on his face: "Brother Dongfang has handled this matter well, Yun'er has finally grown up and begun to take responsibility, so it's good to give him a chance to practice." Belch...... Not bad. ”

"Brother Sima, why don't you go back to pick up Sima Xian's nephew?"

Dongfang Yufu felt a little guilty for his reckless handling of Sima Yun's affairs, but at this moment, seeing Sima Mao's relieved look, his heart was always mixed, and after a moment of silence, he immediately took the initiative to ask Sima Mao for advice.

Since ancient times, the two armies have fought each other, and both have been injured, in case Sima Yun is injured in this ambush, or unfortunately killed, then it will be difficult for him to explain to Sima Mao.

After all, Sima Mao has no children under his knees, and this Sima Yun is his only relative, in case Sima Yun has any mistakes, maybe Sima Mao will find himself to ask for guilt.

So now that Sima Yun is safe, he will naturally be safe. Therefore, Dongfang Yufu took the initiative to ask himself and personally went to pick up Sima Yun, mainly for his own sake and peace in the future.

After listening to Dongfang Yufu's words, Sima Mao immediately turned to face Dongfang Yufu.

Sima Mao stroked the long beard on his chin and hesitated for a while, then he nodded at Dongfang Yufu and said, "It's okay, Yun'er is still a little younger after all, and with Dongfang Brother going to pick up Yun'er, the brother will be much more relieved." ”

After a pause, Dongfang Yufu was just about to say something more, but Sima Mao patted Dongfang Yufu lightly on the shoulder, and then said with a smile: "Dongfang brother take care, the old man will lead the army to withdraw from Yulang City with the divine soldiers, we will still take the way we came before, detour to the Northwest Desert, and I will wait for you to return safely in the Northwest Desert with the army." ”

Dongfang Yufu nodded solemnly, and then saluted Sima Mao and the black unicorn one by one, and said loudly: "Brother Sima, brother Qilin, take care of the two of you." ”

Sima Mao and the black unicorn hugged their fists to the Oriental Yufu, and both of them faced the Oriental Yufu, and they had known each other for a long time, like the old people who had not been seen for a long time, and they once regretted saying goodbye.

"Brother Dongfang, take care. ”

"Brother Dongfang, take care. ”

As soon as Sima Mao and Hei Qilin finished speaking, there was an entourage of Dongfang Yufu's general, who led a tall horse and handed it over to Dongfang Yufu.

Dongfang Yufu did not hesitate, took the horse rope and immediately got on the horse, and with a sudden whip, he immediately slapped the horse away, and his entourage and generals also followed, and a column of men and horses galloped all the way south.

Looking at Dongfang Yufu's back as he gradually moved away, Sima Mao suddenly took a deep breath and said calmly: "I hope that the advance force of the Northwest Army of the Cyan Kingdom has not yet arrived at Yun'er's ambush circle. ”

Sima Mao's words seemed to be talking to himself, and as if he was saying to the black unicorn beside him.

The black unicorn, who had been stunned all aside, couldn't help but look up into the distance again after hearing Sima Mao's words.

The black unicorn looked at the back of Dongfang Yufu all the way away, and suddenly said, "Brother Sima, why don't you go with Brother Dongfang to pick up Sima Xian's nephew?"

Sima Mao shook his head slightly, but his gaze returned to the stone axe in his hand from a distance.

After pondering for a moment, Sima Mao sighed softly and said to the black unicorn beside him: "The divine soldier will definitely have many incidents in this world, and on the way back to Dagu with the divine soldier, it can be said that the mountains and rivers are far away, and the variables are endless.

There have always been many terrifying forces on the Demon Continent, and they have been hiding in the depths of the unknown realms of the world, waiting for the best time to devour and destroy us in one fell swoop. ”

After a pause, Sima Mao suddenly raised his head and looked up at the sky, and a fleeting light flashed in his deep eyes.

He suddenly closed his eyes, took a very calm breath of sweet air, and then said in a calm tone: "You can escort this divine soldier with me! After all, this divine soldier is our important thing." ”

The black unicorn stared at the stone axe in Sima Mao's hand, quietly listened to Sima Mao's somewhat meaningful words, and fell into deep thought.

When Sima Mao said the second half of the sentence, the black unicorn came back to his senses from his contemplation.

What Sima Mao said was not wrong at all, this time the king asked them to personally lead the elite of the five directions and eighteen armies of the Dagu Empire to make a detour to the northwest border of the Northwest Desert Wilderness to expedition to the northwest border of the Yan Kingdom.

Now, as the king had wished, they had finally captured the Divine Soldier on the last day of the agreed ten-day period, so the expedition was not in vain.

The black qilin agreed with what Sima Mao said, so he nodded at Sima Mao and said, "Brother Sima is right, the northwest army of the Cyan Kingdom is coming in a blink of an eye, but we can't afford the slightest delay, we quickly retreat to the city, simply clean up, and then lead the army to quickly evacuate the territory of the Cyan Country." ”

Sima Mao nodded seriously and said, "There is no time to delay, Brother Qilin, we will withdraw." ”

"Yes. ”

The black unicorn nodded without thinking, and immediately followed behind Sima Mao and walked towards the place where the army had gathered.

......

If the sunset is infinitely better, why should I be melancholy near dusk.

The former ministers of the former dynasty are now wishful, holding a cup and singing alone.

Fifty miles to the south of Yulang City, it is the famous Royal Beast Pass in the northwest of the Yan Kingdom, on both sides of the pass, there are steep hills, and the narrow official road between the valleys is the only passage connecting the northwest border of the Yan Kingdom.

When the state of Yan was first established, the founding monarch was not idle, and originally planned to set the northwest boundary line at the Royal Beast Pass.

After careful consideration, as long as the Northwest alien race broke through the defensive line of the Royal Beast Pass, they would be able to go all the way and go straight into the hinterland of the Cyan Country.

Because after passing this beast pass, there will be no danger to resist the orcs in the northwest wilderness.

After many field investigations and studies, the generals of the defense of the Cyanide State finally collectively decided to build another border city fifty miles beyond this pass to resist the constant harassment of the orcs.

With the obstruction of these two border defenses, the orc tribe in the northwest desert really did not cross the thunder pool by half a step, and the thousands of people in the northwest of the cyanide country were able to live, and the development of agriculture and commerce also presented an unprecedented prosperous scene.

Sima Yun's 4,000 soldiers were ambushed on the top of the mountain on both sides, Sima Yun led 2,000 soldiers and horses to ambush on the top of the mountain on the left, and another 2,000 soldiers and horses were ambushed on the top of the mountain on the right.

The four thousand men and horses were so quietly ambushed on both sides of the pass, and when the advance troops of the Northwest Army of the Cyntonian Kingdom entered the ambush circle, Sima Yun would shoot arrows, and as soon as the arrows rang out, the four thousand crossbows and crossbows would be continuously shot out towards the official road in the valley.

Sima Yun relied on his great geographical advantage, and was full of confidence and expectation in this ambush battle, and this upcoming war would definitely earn him enough honor.

For so many years, Sima Yun has relied on his own uncle, and on the surface he is respected by the generals in the army, but behind his back, some people often ridicule him for being immoral and talentless.

Whenever he overheard someone laughing at himself with the word 'fox fake tiger might', Sima Yun always wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.
