Chapter 268 The dangers inside and outside the trap are difficult to know

After the shepherd Topjia left, he was sick and said, "This man has come strangely, but what he said is very consistent with what the sixth general said. ”

"Hmm. He must be trying to help us. Xiao Tienu said: "I didn't expect that there are also people from the pro-Han Department in Mobei." Hey, those merchants, they're going faster than we are. ”

He asked, "So what should we do next?" ”

Xiao Tienu said: "Do as planned. Wait for the people we sent out to do it as soon as they come back. ”

Another day, some of the people sent out by Xiao Tienu to inquire about the news came back, and Xiao Ziqi suddenly stopped, and the patriarch of Wugushan sent to ask about the situation, and Meng Wuer told him that the marshal was suddenly sick and had to stop.

Xiao Ziqi stopped here for two days, and on the evening of the third day, all the people sent out by Xiao Tienu after making an appointment with the chief of the Wugushan tribe came back - these dozen people were all horse thieves and herdsmen, and they were very familiar with the terrain of Mobei and understood the language of Mobei, so as long as they wore the clothes of herdsmen, they could not tell that they were Han soldiers. These people detected that the Wugu Mountain Department sent a total of eight people to go in eight directions.

"Eight directions......" Xiao Tienu said with a sigh: "In this way, the nine parts of Dadan are about to arrive." ”

At this point, Xiao Tienu guessed wrong, this time to participate in the hunt for Xiao Ziqi, in addition to the Dadan tribes, there are also a branch of the South Meili Urgent Department and a North Blocking Division, in addition to several other forces to participate, a total of fourteen tribes, led by the Wugu Mountain Division, the Southern Meili Urgent Division, the Northern Blocking Division and the Wulan Division, a total of about 60,000 people and horses, but they still dare not intercept Xiao Tienu head-on. Because they know the combat effectiveness of Xiao Ziqi!

Xiao Ziqi is actually not completely unfamiliar to these Mobei peoples. Apayataqi was a mixture of Ghul and Khitan, and his ignorance was mostly faked. In the past few years, the Jin Kingdom has been busy with the affairs of the south, and has no power to manage Mobei, so it is good to ask these nomadic tribes not to go south to harass at this time, but Xiao Tienu has often sent partial divisions to cross the Yin Mountain as early as when he was in the Yunnei area, and lured strong herdsmen to join him by means of knives and money, and some tribes have also clashed with Xiao Ziqi because of this, but none of them have not been beaten to the point of being powerless. Therefore, after Xiao Ziqi entered Mobei, the reason why he did not encounter any obstacles in the previous journey was not because there were no larger tribes in that area, but because the tribes that were afraid of Xiao Ziqi all fled, and only then did they gather to prepare to deal with him.

Among them, several tribes such as the Ulan tribe still had the hope of living in peace with Xiao Ziqi at the beginning, but most tribes were wary of this, and the patriarchs of the North Bu Department and the Wugu Mountain Department coveted Xiao Ziqi's property, so they made a plan to destroy Xiao Ziqi. Their first plan was to make an appointment with Xiao Tienu and then kidnap him, but in that meeting that was agreed to be a meeting of a few people, Xiao Tienu actually brought 5,000 iron horsemen to come, these 5,000 people can also fight a bloody way in an army of 100,000, where does the chief of Wugushan dare to do it? So he made a plan to lead Xiao Ziqi to a place of death.

The inhabitants of the grassland, when they are honest, are herdsmen, when they are not honest, they are a group of thieves, the means of thieves, come and go, in fact, there are only a few tricks, although these tricks can often achieve miraculous results with the cooperation of the right time and place and the characteristics of nomads, but unfortunately, they met the leader of the thieves this time, and there are not only people in Xiao Tienu's army who know the road to Mongolia, but even the situation of the dead place is also very clear.

After Xiao Tienu "hit the plan", Xiao Ziqi walked towards the place of death that Apayatage and others wanted, they were full of joy and hoped that Xiao Ziqi would step into the place of death, but there were still a few hills from the place of death Xiao Ziqi suddenly stopped, this loose nomadic tribe was a little anxious, fortunately a few days later, they moved again, but it didn't take long, to the edge of the dead place actually found a place to set up camp, the patriarch of the Wugu Mountain tribe sent people to pretend to be a passing herdsman to inquire about the news, Only then did I know that the marshal of Xiao Ziqi was seriously ill, so he couldn't stop the army.

"What to do?"

Some people suggested taking the opportunity to attack, but now that Xiao Dashuai is sick, the terrain occupied by Xiao Ziqi is quite conducive to defense, and there is a water source nearby. Besides, if the attack is launched now, the encirclement in the dead place will not be used.

"Let's wait."

"But when?"

"Don't worry, he can't stay sick. Hum! It's better to die of illness on him, so that they may be in chaos internally, and we will be better off. ”

But this delay was ten days, and after ten days, Xiao Ziqi still did not move, so this loose grassland thief alliance was shaken.

On the eleventh day, a report of the injuries of the Northern Tribes came to report: their lair had been attacked, almost all the men were killed, and the women and livestock were all robbed!

Mu Qin, the chief of the Northern Blockade Division, was shocked, his department was not small, there were six or seven thousand people who could go into battle, and he was one of the main forces of this siege, but he brought more people, and only some old and weak women were left in the old nest. He asked a wise man for details, and the wounded man who broke through to report said, "That group is good, probably less than a thousand...... By the way, although it was at night, their clothes seemed to be from the Wugu Mountain. ”

"What!"

Mu Qin shouted: "Wugu Mountain! ”

"Yes." The wounded man said: "In the midst of the confusion, I can faintly hear a few of them saying, 'Apayataki is a clever man', yes, yes, they are also speaking the words of the Dadan!" ”

As soon as Mu Qin heard the roar, he was about to question the Wugu Mountain Division, but the wise man under his account stopped him and said, "You can't do this!" If this is really a trap, we can question him like this, and we may fall into their trap. ”

Mu Qin asked, "What should I do then?" ”

The wise man said, "Why don't we pretend to be confused and inquire if anything similar has happened to other tribes." At the same time, we also need to establish good relations with some tribes first, so that there is a call for help in times of crisis. ”

Mu Qin said: "What about my hometown? ”

"The women, cattle and sheep that were taken away can be recaptured, and as long as there are still people and horses, the grassland that has been taken away can be returned to its original owners, but if we all die, then the women, cattle and sheep and pastures will never come back."

Mu Qin thought it was reasonable, so he did what the wise man said, and kept the attack on his hometown a secret. As a result, the next day, I heard the news of the attack on the hometown of the Taragu tribe, which was attacked five days after the attack on the hometown of the Northern Tribe, but the hometown of the Tara Gubu was relatively close, so the news spread relatively quickly. When Taraghubu heard the news, they rushed back desperately, but they didn't go far before they were attacked by Xiao Tienu. Three thousand men from the Talagu tribe rushed to the ground, and only fifty were left to call for helpβ€”a third of the other two thousand nine hundred men surrendered, hundreds scattered, and the rest were all killed, and the Talagu patriarch did not even know where the corpses were.

Mu Qin was shocked when he saw the tragic situation of the Taraghubu, and knew that if he didn't listen to the advice and rushed back to the rescue, the fate would probably be the same.

"What should I do?"

Several leaders of the Northern Hindrance Department were worried, and at this time, the tribal alliance army that ambushed Xiao Ziqi had already begun to be disordered! Xiao Ziqi's base camp was still on the edge of the ambush circle and did not enter, but the leader of the Nanmeili Urgent Division, Woduo, the leader of the Wulan Division, Dami, and the leader of the Wugushan Division, were all a little panicked, and they faintly felt that there was a bigger ambush circle waiting for them outside their ambush circle.
