Chapter 233: A Watershed in History

One of the men and horses that Hermulan sent out to patrol was following Lu Bi, and after a while of inquiry, he found that something was wrong, and immediately returned to report it.

Lubi did not go east, but south.

To the east is the direction of the royal court, while to the south there is only a baggage camp spread out by the Wei people. The Wei people are good at using cavalry, especially deep behind enemy lines, penetrating vertically and horizontally/interspersing, attacking their weak points, so they have always left a large camp in the rear, and then only took ten days of supplements to mobilize, all the way to fight to nourish the war.

The battle against Rouran was too smooth, and the rangers were used again in the direction of Tuoba Tao. From April to the beginning of May to the Rouran royal court, the whole distance has already exceeded two thousand miles, which can be described as an ancient "blitzkrieg".

The two baggage camps on the far right, one is the large camp of Difuchi, which is in the northwest of Zhuoyi Mountain, because there is almost no war on the western front, so there are only 10,000 people guarding it; One is the large camp of Tuyuan Water, which is in the northeast of Zhuo Evil Mountain, guarded by several generals of the Right Army, including Qiu Lin Mo Zhen.

He Mullan couldn't think of any reason to go south.

Is it possible to directly belong to the Wei State? Or pick up your sister and mother?

He Mulan told Su Hejun of his guess, and with this Egret officer who was the best at analyzing intelligence, she almost had a staff officer-like help.

And the analysis of the latter surprised everyone.

"Could it be that Da Tan is desperate and goes to the south?" Su Hejun frowned, "This time is when Da Tan is the weakest, Lu Bi should go to Da Tan to take revenge, but he didn't go to the royal court and went to the south...... That only shows that Da Tan is ...... to the south."

"How can Da Tan be in the south? Da Tan should be in ......"

You should have fled west from Jinshan, right!

He Mullan almost leaked.

"Da Tan should indeed be in charge of the royal court at this time, but he is already on the verge of death, a person who is about to die, no matter how he wants to gamble, it is normal......" Su Hejun should know Da Tan very well, "Especially when he is going to die, his sons have been fighting among themselves, maybe there is something else in it, we don't understand."

At this time, He Mullan hated that he had lost part of his memory.

She knew that Da Tan had run west from Jinshan, but she couldn't remember what she had done before she ran away.

Maybe Mulan doesn't know very well, or maybe this is a secret in the previous life, all in all, He Mulan has no impression in his mind.

"Keep exploring." Su Hejun quickly came to a conclusion. While continuing to attack all the camps in the west that could meet Lubi, he went south to investigate. Difu Pond is heavily guarded, and the defenders of the Black Mountain camp will soon come over to pick up Mrs. Feng, so it should be fine. Lu Bi is bent on revenge, but he has no hostility towards Great Wei......"

Is that really the case?

Thinking of the leeway for Lu Bi to send information repeatedly, Su Hejun suddenly didn't dare to be so sure.

Zhuo Evil Mountain.

Tuoba Tao's men and horses have been trapped in Zhuo Evil Mountain for a day.

The team chasing Da Tan was already tired and tired, and when Tuoba Tao ordered that there was no need to chase anymore, all the horses immediately began to rest at the foot of Zhuo Evil Mountain, replenish water and food, and prepare to return.

It was not once or twice that Tuoba Tao's subordinates followed him to pursue the enemy, so he was very proficient in one qiē, hunting for hunting, cooking for cooking, and herding horses for herding horses.

After a while, the people who came back from hunting suddenly reported that they had found a white deer on Zhuo Evil Mountain, with a huge horn crown, much more majestic than other deer, and they ran extremely fast.

Xianbei people take the deer as auspicious, and when they see the deer, they say that they are very lucky and that good things happen. The vicinity of Zhuo Evil Mountain is not a place where deer haunt, and it is very rare to see deer here, let alone a white deer that is rarely seen.

Xianbei people are still white, even the wedding dress is white, the appearance of this white deer is like some kind of omen from heaven, all the people are angry, Tuoba Tao is worried about fraud, did not go out to find the white deer, so he sent Kumoti to check.

It stands to reason that this strange thing happens on the enemy's territory, and it should be done with caution. But the Xianbei people's worship of the white deer is too fanatical, and since Tuoba Tao succeeded to the throne, he has never seen any auspiciousness. He is young, and he is curious about this kind of thing, and he is a white deer......

The so-called "chasing the deer in the Central Plains" is a rare omen and is worth exploring.

Kumoti took a team of people to the mountains to investigate, and sure enough, there was a white deer, and the speed of the white deer was very fast, which was by no means comparable to the speed of ordinary deer.

When Tuoba Tao heard that there was indeed a white deer, he immediately led a group of elites to the mountains to find the white deer and tried to capture it alive.

At that moment, snow from nowhere washed down, washing away the road on the side of the valley, and countless stones and miscellaneous trees fell with the majestic snow, cutting off the road to the camp.

The cavalry relied on horses, the road was cut off and impassable, the road on the other side led to the western foot of Zhuo Evil Mountain, the western part of Zhuo Evil Mountain was full of barren rocks and weeds, Tuoba Tao sent a team to the western foot to investigate, but disappeared in the mountain and never returned.

In this way, no matter how stupid Tuoba Tao and the others are, they can also realize that the situation is wrong.

The army was stationed, and they brought thousands of elites to Zhuo Evil Mountain to search for Bailu, which was originally a sure thing, but they met the water in the summer. [,! Straight down, even the road was washed out to the point that it was full of boulders, and if it weren't for man-made reasons, there would be no other reason.

However, if the enemy has an ambush, although an army of several hundred people is missing in the west at this time, there is no sound of slashing and screaming, and there is no large army of soldiers and horses to kill, such a good advantage, but there is no follow-up, which is not in line with the common sense of leading troops.

Tuoba Tao intends to personally lead his troops to find out, but is stopped by everyone, especially Kumoti, who opposes it most fiercely.

"Your Majesty, if the other party is small in number, and wants us to get close and launches an attack, isn't it just falling into the enemy's trap? There is a large army stationed at the foot of the mountain, as long as His Majesty does not go back for a while and a half, several generals will send people to come up to search, and when they find that the road is destroyed, there will naturally be soldiers to clean up the road, we should not act rashly now, but should wait for the rest of the generals to come to help! "

"If the enemy in the west is not numerous, I will strike first at this time, and I will definitely be able to catch the opponent by surprise! Even if Da Tan's people are all in Zhuo Evil Mountain, it is only tens of thousands, not to mention that when he set up camp, he has sent people to search the whole mountain, and there is no one on the mountain at all. How many people can there be on the other side?"

Tuoba Tao was worried that something would change later, "If the other party attacks at night, we have no tents and no natural dangers, won't we be beaten passively?"

Kumoti and several generals tried hard to persuade him, and finally Kumoti took hundreds of people from the Eagle Yang Army to investigate in person, and returned a few hours later, leaving only half of the soldiers.

"Your Majesty, there is already an ambush in the west!" Kumoti's eyes were red, "The mountain road at the western foot is full of hidden archers, as long as you get closer, you will immediately fire ten thousand arrows, the brothers in front of you, I'm afraid they have already been poisoned!" "

"What? Where did the archers come from?"

Tuoba Tao had a chill in his back at this time. He had already realized that he had fallen into a great trap, and this trap might have been carefully planned before they came to Zhuo Evil Mountain.

"Your Majesty, you can't act rashly at this time. Although there are many archers on the other side, the archers cannot leave the barrier to fight, as long as we wait here for the army to come to meet us, those archers will not dare to leave their places, otherwise our cavalry will attack as soon as they start, and they will only be waiting for death."

Kumoti's face was full of worry, "There are a few veteran generals under the mountain, and they will definitely ask for help if they find that the situation is wrong. General Changsun's large camp on the Western Front is nearby, and as long as we hold out for a day, someone will come to the rescue! "

Tuoba Tao really can't say Kumoti, the people and horses who went to explore the road before have not returned, plus the "white deer" that appeared inexplicably before, there are even some "demonic" ideas in the cavalry he brought, and when morale is in doubt, you can't be desperate, Tuoba Tao thought about it, so he had to stay in place, and sent some people to explore the road washed out in the east to see if there is a road to go, or there is room to clear it.

For a time, the clouds and mist on Zhuo Evil Mountain, from Tuoba Tao to Yulin Army, each heart was like a heavy stone, most of them only carried food bags, and the things that could be contained were limited, and they were trapped for two or three days I am afraid that they will die of thirst.

When it comes to the last resort, even if you have ten thousand arrows, you still have to break through.

The general and Kou Qianzhi and others who were waiting at the foot of the mountain soon discovered the abnormal movement in the mountains, and sent people to see that the originally spacious and gentle slope on Zhuo Evil Mountain was washed away by the water from the mountain from nowhere to the point that there were rocks and wood everywhere, and immediately shouted that it was not good, and began to mobilize soldiers to clean up the mainland, and sent soldiers who were good at climbing to quickly go to the mountains to find the traces of Tuobatao.

Before you know it, the night has passed.

Tuoba Tao and others surrounded the war horses in a circle and rested in the war horse circle. A does not leave his body, the soldiers do not leave his hands, and there is the sound of the army cleaning the road, which is finally a little relieved.

At this time, everyone's hearts were full of doubts.

What are these unknown enemy forces going to do if they want to trap them in Zhuo Evil Mountain?

Even if you can be sleepy, you can't be sleepy for too long, what can happen in such a short time?

"General Hua, all the Rouran tribes in the west have scattered and fled...... "The high-speed car tribe who went out to patrol around quickly discovered that the situation was wrong and came back to report.

"Those from the north have begun to flee too." One of the lieutenants of the Tiger Horse also collected the team and returned to the camp, "They didn't even want tents, cattle and sheep, and we pursued for a long distance but couldn't catch up, so we could only come back with cattle, sheep and horses. It looks like something terrible has happened to them......"

"General Flower! General Flowers! Hu Lu Guangdou, the patriarch of the Hu Lu clan, hurriedly rushed to the tent, "The royal court has been burned!" The royal court is gone! "

"What?"

"It's impossible for His Majesty to burn the royal court of Rouran!"

"Is Rouran Khan dead?"

He Mulan, Su Hejun and Di Yefei asked in unison.

"I don't know! It's a message from the people I sent out to the east to inquire about the news! "Hu Lu Guangdou's face is ugly." The people of Rouran said that it was burned by the Xianbei people, and many old people and children were burned to death. Now the people of Rouran no longer believe that they can live by surrendering, and they are desperately fleeing north or west......"

There are also many high chariots and slaves of other clans in the royal court, the high chariot people are skilled, and there are many high chariot craftsmen in the royal court, if it is really Xianbei people who burned the royal court, the revenge of these high chariot craftsmen cannot be avenged in this life, and they and Xianbei people must leave a discord between them.

It's not this that Hu Lu Guangdou is more worried about.

If the royal court is broken and Da Tan is killed, Rouran will be destroyed, and the Gaoche people will win without an inch of success, even if they are attached, in the future, it will be nothing more than from the slave of the Rouran people to the slave of the Xianbei people, which is not the result they want at all!

"The royal court can't be me. [,! We burned. His Majesty still has to patrol Xingyin Mountain, how can he ask for a broken royal court! "

Su Hejun shook his head again and again and exhaled in pain.

"The worm must have burned it himself, he didn't want to leave any supplies for His Majesty's rapid march! There is a problem with the supply of the majesty! "

"What do we do now? Go to the foot of the Tianshan Mountain and meet His Majesty?"

Di Yefei saw that there might be no fight, and he only hoped to take the high-roller man to get another credit in the end, and immediately looked at He Mulan with longing eyes.

Da Tan must not be dead.

Must not be dead.

There's no way my butterfly wings can be flapped so hard......

He Mulan's reliance came from Mulan's memory, and now that the situation was in a mess, she was more anxious and nervous than anyone else, and Tuoba Tao's crisis might not come from running out of ammunition and food, but ......

But......

By the way, in his previous life, His Majesty was deceived into Zhuo Evil Mountain in order to pursue Da Tan!

General Wang died on the way to the rescue!

Zhuo Evil Mountain!

West Road!

He Mulan woke up and immediately ordered the camp to be pulled!

"Everyone is ready to march quickly, including the high-chariot warriors, and go south with me to Zhuo Evil Mountain!" He Mulan's face turned pale, "Chase Lu Bi!" Lu Bi must have learned some news, either for Datan, or for His Majesty! "

"What?"

"I am now the boss, and as soon as I give the order, you will obey the order." He Mullan had no time to explain to them.

"In two hours, I will see that the army has departed!"

After she gave the military order, except for Su Hejun, all the generals and patriarchs in the tent received the order, and hurriedly moved, only Su Hejun still did not give up, and followed behind He Mulan to ask in every way.

"Su Hejun, I remember that your martial arts are not weak......" she glanced at Su Hejun. Put on your armor and bring your weapons with me."

"Me? I'm going back to the camp in Difuchi to meet Mrs. Feng, and I'm just stopping by to you......," Su Hejun was stunned, "What did you notice, and your face was so stern?"

"I'm afraid that His Majesty will pursue Da Tan and fall into the enemy's ambush! If it weren't for other plans, how could such an important place as the royal court bear to burn it? Da Tan didn't have long to live, but his sons were still young, and if he did this, would his sons agree? There must be some reason."

He Mulan said again: "I don't know anything now, so naturally I don't know what happened, but Lu Bi, who left yesterday, must know!" Let's catch up with him, and we'll understand! "

"There are our egrets in Lubi's army......" Su Hejun's face changed greatly after hearing He Mulan's explanation, "If there is anything wrong, the egret should have sent a letter a long time ago. No, Lu Bi is unfathomable, maybe he didn't tell his confidants anything at all......"

Su Hejun immediately stomped his feet, "That's it, I'll go with you, if not, I'll go to Lu Bi in person!" "

Tear his face with him, I believe he still has to weigh a thing or two.

His mother and sister are still in their hands!

He Mullan hurriedly ordered the army to march, and the Tiger Horsemen were already well-trained, and immediately the army was ready to go. It was the first time for the Gaoche people to make such a large-scale sortie, but fortunately, Di Yefei and several other generals of the Tiger Ben Army had already trained the Gaoche people, at least they were not panicked, and for a while, the mighty team began to wind southward, chasing Lu Bi's troops.

The distance of the day is not fast, it is not slow, if Lu Bi has a rest all the way, and He Mulan's army has been marching rapidly, it will naturally be able to catch up quickly, but if Lu Bi is also a rapid march, it is difficult to say.

Fortunately, in less than half a day's effort, the scouts of the Tiger Rider found traces of campfires along the road, indicating that although Lu was fast, in order to maintain the horsepower and the combat strength of the cavalry, there was still a good rest.

After a day and a night of pursuit, by the afternoon of the second day, Mullan's party finally saw the army of Lubi in the distance.

At this time, Lu Bi was faced with the most important choice of his life.

"The second and third princes are going to attack the camp of Difu Pool? Crazy?! "

Lu Bi looked absurd on his face, but he was already shocked and was about to faint!

According to the words of the Tiger General Hua Mulan, his mother and sister had already been sent to the camp in Difuchi, where they were placed with countless old and weak women and children in tall carts, just waiting for the defenders of the Montenegrin camp to pick them up.

Now that the Wei people have fought under the royal court, the rear is stable, and there are large armies on all sides, it is impossible for anyone to break through the layers of blockade to the rear at this time, so Lu Bi has never worried about the safety of his family.

But at this time, the messenger told him that their team had successfully left the sight of the Xianbei people and went around to their rear?

"It's not that you really want to fight with the Xianbei people, it's just harassment. However, if the other party is really empty in the rear, according to the character of the second prince, maybe he will really launch an offensive, right?" The messenger smiled, "The big camp on the other side is also harassed by the teams of the third prince and the eighth prince, as long as the two big camps are dragged for a few days."

"Why do you want me to go to Zhuo Evil Mountain?" Lu Bi suppressed the horror in his heart, "The Khan is in Zhuo Evil Mountain?"

"The Khan is in a safe place, and it is King Zuoxian who is in Zhuo Evil Mountain. In fact, King Zuo Xian wanted to give credit to His Royal Highness King Youxian, so he sent me." The envoy smiled mysteriously, "Zhuo Evil Mountain is a place of sacrifice for several great shamans, there are miracles left in the mountain, and the Great Khan Buddha of the Xianbei people should be trapped in Zhuo Evil Mountain at this time. King Zuo Xian has ambushed a strange army, just waiting for you to meet Lord Zuo Xian ....... [,!] ]"

"What kind of surprise can there be? Er Mianxin was defeated, and his little people are not enough to stuff people's teeth! Lu Bi said angrily, "The Buddha often goes out with tens of thousands of horses, and my people are not enough for him to stuff his teeth!" I just want the head of the Buddha, and I have to break through the layers of barriers! "

"There is a secret passage in the belly of the mountain, and we only know about it when a few shamans reveal it. In fact, from the time when the Xianbei people began to send troops, King Zuo Xian and the Khan were planning this matter......"

The messenger bowed." Please ask King Youxian to quickly take people to Zhuo Evil Mountain, if we catch the Buddha, maybe the Wei people will even cede Black Mountain and Eilechuan to us. When there is Mo Nan, several royal courts can be built! "

"There is a secret way, the Buddha is trapped in Zhuo Evil Mountain?" Lu Bi asked again, "Are you sure?"

"When I set off, King Zuo Xian had already made arrangements, and the other party should have already been tricked at this time."

No Xianbei person can resist such temptation, and the messenger is sure in his heart."

If it weren't for the secret passage, how could we avoid so many Wei people and come here? In order to prevent the two large battalions from receiving the news of Zhuo Evil Mountain asking for help, several princes risked their lives to cut off the passage. Harassing the enemy's camp is also to prevent the other party from going out to find out the news, as long as it drags on for a few days......"

"Where the hell is the Khan? Monkey business! Divided into many places, what should be done about the safety of the khan at this time? I sent someone to protect the Khan......"

"Lord Youxian, the Khan will definitely be fine!" The messenger interrupted him, "You should be thinking about Rouran's safety at this time. Rouran is gone, even if the Khan is safe and sound, what's the point? Why did we send people to Shuozhou in the first place? Why did you unite with Liu Song? Tuoba Tao's life is the most important thing! "

Lu Bi gritted his teeth.

"Okay, I'll order you to prepare for a while, and I'll leave with you tomorrow morning......"

"You can't ...... at night"

"Are you the Right Virtuous King or am I the Right Virtuous King? Marching at night, tomorrow morning the horses are all wasted! The current Rouran is not the Rouran of the past, and there is no supply to be found! "

Lu Bi shouted violently.

"I understand what you said, you go down!"

After all, the messenger didn't dare to directly confront Lu Bi, so he was slightly stunned, saluted, and left the big tent immediately.

As soon as he left the tent, he was distraught and sat down on the ground.

Go to Zhuo Evil Mountain, or go to the camp of Difu Pond?

If you go to the Wei people's camp, it is very likely that the other party will regard it as an enemy army on Rouran's side, and what will happen at that time is not certain.

But if you don't go, when the second prince and the third prince arrive, you will find that there are too many old, weak, sick and disabled people as a burden in Difuchi.

His mother and sister were still there, and it was hard to say what would happen in the chaos......

If you believe in the combat ability of the Xianbei people, and follow the envoy straight to Zhuo Evil Mountain, and go directly to the west foot from the dark passage in the belly of the mountain, you may be able to capture Tuoba Tao alive......

No, he doesn't need to help King Zuo Xian, the people who can be used by King Zuo Xian now may be less than one-third of him. As long as he captures Tuoba Tao alive and kills Wu Ti again, then Mo Shu no longer needs to think about how to belong to Shun in the future, even if he establishes himself as the king of Rouran Khan......

The nomads have the rule of asking for ransom from the captives, and it is not impossible for him to ask for Mo Nan with Tuoba Tao as a hostage, and from then on he will draw a boundary with Xianbei and not invade each other.

When the time comes, Tuoba Tao is in his hands, and he asks the Xianbei people to return his mother and sister, and the Xianbei people can only obediently treat them as guests.

There is also "Di Hua Mulan"......

He could have asked the Xianbei people to hand her over directly.

Where does he go from here?

It is a foolproof search for the home......

Or do you want to satisfy your deepest ambitions?
