The sky was already bright, and Mao Dun was a little anxious, he understood that the Qin army would inevitably chase after him, but it was just faster than slow.

But he was not without opportunities, everyone rode horses, and their white horses were notoriously fast for their endurance. Moreover, the Qin army must have been exhausted for a long time in order to chase them, and he was confident that he would be able to drag the enemy's war horse to death, and he would be able to escape and ascend to heaven when he fell.

"Prince, are we going to ignore General Shili and General Hamu?" asked one of the generals beside Mao Dun cautiously.

Prince Maodun glared at the general, and said coldly: "Hmph, Shi Li, what kind of waste, his only value is to drag the Qin army and let this prince have enough time to leave." Two days ago, Prince Ben asked him to send more people to keep an eye on the rear, if he hadn't taken Prince Ben's words as wind in his ears and only cared about playing with women, how could there be today's disaster. ”

The general stopped talking, everything was too late, he could only pray in his heart that Shi Li and the others could get out of trouble, he already understood that everything was self-deception, Shi Li had a great favor to him, but he was greedy for life and afraid of death and did not dare to go back to save him, thinking of this, Chang Mo's face was actually guilty, and his eyes were a little complicated when he looked at Mao Dun.

As soon as the 10,000 cavalry of Maoton fled, it was half a day, and when they saw that there were no pursuers behind, they dared to come down and let their subordinates eat some dry food. Maudun was no longer particular about it, and took the dry food handed by the guards and stuffed it into his mouth, but when he took a bite, the spies he sent to the rear rode towards him, and shouted loudly: "Prince, the enemy is coming." Mao Dun's eyes widened, and the cake in his hand fell on the snow, and he said in disbelief: "How can it be so fast!"

Then he reacted and hurriedly ordered: "Quick, accelerate to the east." ”

Chang Mo hurriedly asked, "Prince, aren't we going to join Shan Yu? ”

Mao Dun explained: "I am afraid that the Qin army has already gone to intercept it in the west, and I am afraid that I will encounter the Yue army's army and encounter a situation of being attacked from both sides. I wanted to face north and west, but how could I think that the enemy would come so quickly, and the west would not be able to go, so I had to make a detour back to the steppe tribe in the east. ”

"What about the east ......," Chang Mo asked with some concern.

"Prince Ben has his own considerations, you don't need to worry. Mao Dun said with confidence on his face.

"Drive—"

Mao Dun and the others hurriedly headed towards the west and east.

Soon, Huo Qubing led the army to catch up, and when he saw the horseshoe prints heading east, he was a little puzzled why Mao Dun chose to face east instead of west, whether he really wanted to make a detour back to the grassland, thinking of this. The order was given to continue the advance to the east. As soon as the order was given, one of the soldiers beside him fell off his horse, and one of the guards went to probe for breath, but he fell asleep and fell off his horse, although there was a snow buffer, he still did not wake up, which shows how sleepy he was. Huo Quzhi turned around and looked at the army he led, and after a while, many of them were already asleep. He understood that after a few days of running all night for last night's battle, and killing in the middle of the night, the soldiers had long been exhausted. Helpless, he only ordered to rest for an hour before continuing the pursuit.

In the basin!

Zhuge Liang ordered some of the soldiers to rest, part of the corpses to dispose of, he took a few people to the more than 20,000 Qin people out, to understand the situation of the people, before walking to the general, passing by the corpses of the five Huns, no one thought that the five corpses that fell to the ground actually held a sword and killed Zhuge Liang.

Before the guards guarding Zhuge Liang had time to make a move, a man behind Zhuge Liang who was dressed as a Qin pawn and wearing a mask didn't even draw his sword, just with a wave of his right hand, he turned his qi into a blade and slashed at the necks of the five Huns, and in an instant, the heads of the five people were different.

And the guards didn't know when this person appeared, so they immediately protected Zhuge Liang behind them and surrounded the masked man. Zhuge Liang just quietly watched all this happen, not saying or doing.

This person's murderous intent was so strong that the soldiers guarding Zhuge Liang were terrified, and the fear made them tremble and weak, and they were almost paralyzed to the ground. However, he still does not take a step back to protect Zhuge Liang. When this man saw this, his tone was a little cold, and he couldn't hear joy and said, "If you dared to take a step back just now, you would have become a corpse by now." After a few jumps, they disappeared into this place, and if it weren't for the fact that there were still a few corpses on the ground, the guards would have thought they had seen a ghost.

Looking at the person's departure, Zhuge Liang thought for a while, and saw a few people who were frightened by the amazing murderous aura, and said, "You sit down and rest first, we are on our way." ”

"No"

The guards answered and fell to the ground, the fear caused by that man to them is afraid that they will follow them for the rest of their lives, of course, if anyone can break free, their change of mood will have endless benefits for them in the future, whether it is good or bad is all up to their own creation, and others will not be able to help.

After a stick of incense, the guards regained their spirits and continued on their way. But this time, Zhuge Liang was surrounded in the middle, and when he saw the corpses of the Huns, he would check forward to prevent what happened just now from happening again.

Along the way, there was finally no danger, and Zhuge was escorted to the people's side.

Zhuge Liang saw the haggard and pale faces of the people, and saw the shocking scars on his back, and his calm face also had some anger.

However, the top priority was to fill the stomachs of the soldiers, so he ordered the Hun war horses that were shot to be cleaned and cut into small pieces, boiled into porridge with millet, and distributed to the people and soldiers to eat.

The people are grateful to the general of the Qin State who is still holding a feather fan in the winter, and the soldiers are also grateful.

They themselves have not eaten hot food for more than 20 days, and have been eating dry food and water, although they have become accustomed to it, who is not willing to eat good food, with meat. Even if they want to eat meat, they must win a big battle and make a contribution to have a chance to eat it.

Now that you have this opportunity, how can you not be happy and excited!

For the soldiers, Zhuge Liang gave another military order, that is, this meat porridge must wait for Gan Mao to lead the army back before it can be eaten with the Chinese army.

The only people who can eat it first are the people and the wounded, which makes the soldiers drool, but they dare not disobey the military order, and they all want to be the wounded soldiers.

Three watches in the middle of the night!

The scouts in the basin shouted loudly, "General Kammao is back!"

"General Gan Mao is back!"

Suddenly the whole camp rang out, and the sleeping soldiers hurriedly got up, quickly assembled, and headed towards the place where the people helped to make porridge.

Two days later!

In the east, a group of soldiers and horses were fleeing in a hurry, and many of the people on the horse were already exhausted, and there was a look of despair in their eyes, it was the Hun cavalry led by Mao Dun.

They have been on the run for two days, and Huo Quai's illness in the rear is like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and he still can't drag it off despite all his might.

Mao Dun Ben sent three generals to go in the north, northwest, and south directions, but Huo Qubing still chased after him, which made him scared, sleeping on a horse, and dreaming that he was taken off by Huo Quai.

In the past two days, Mao Dun has been haggard and has lost his previous vigor.

"Look, Prince!" Chang Mo looked at the hillock in front of him in horror, as if there was a man-eating monster somewhere.

Maudon looked in the direction of his finger, and on the top of the hill, a white horse, and above the white horse, a man in silver armor, holding a spear. The setting sun shone on the armor, adding three points of mystery to Huo Quai, three points of majesty, and four points of invincibility.

When Mao Dun was just about to give the order to flee south, the sound of the hooves of the galloping horses came from the northwest and south, and he was surrounded, leaving only 3,000 soldiers to defeat the well-equipped Qin army.

Disappointed!

Despair!

Unwilling!

A change flashed on Maudun's face.

In the end, he turned into madness and shouted: "Sons, kill with me." ”

As soon as the words fell, a cold and piercing dagger was placed on Mao Dun's neck, and none of the rest of the Huns were surprised, and all of them were silent.

Mao Dun squinted at the person who was holding the knife and Chang Mo was extremely surprised and said, "It's you, why?"

Chang Mo sneered: "Your only value is to exchange your life for the lives of our three thousand brothers." ”

This sentence was said very loudly, and Huo Quai, who came down from the hillock, could hear it clearly, as if it was for him, not Prince Maodun.

Mao Dun listened, and also resigned himself to the appearance of your admitting disposition.

Seeing this, Chang Mo shouted at Huo Quai: "General Qin, the Xiongnu prince you want is in my hands, how about I exchange him for the lives of our three thousand brothers." ”

Huo Quzhi asked with interest: "You have been surrounded by Ben General, are you still afraid that you will not be able to fly." ”

Chang Mo smiled and said: "The general should know that you have already made a great contribution to waiting for the Xiongnu prince, and the credit of killing our three thousand people is insignificant compared to it." Could it be that the general wants to break the net with us for this little merit, although we can't escape, but we can still let some people give us Peizang. The general really wants to waste the lives of his subordinates for his own sake. ”

Huo Qubing looked at the 3,000 Huns, who had already drawn their bows and arrows and aimed them at the Qin army, and the two sides were fighting, he was confident that he would exterminate the Huns, but he would definitely have casualties. Mo Chang didn't say that it was nothing, but now the nature has changed a little, if he ordered the extermination of the Huns, although the officers and men of the First Army would not disobey the military order. But the dead and wounded will be counted on his head, which will not be good for him in the future. A general who is not popular with the army, it can be said that his leading career has come to an end.

I have to say that Chang Mo's trick really put Huo Qubing in a dilemma, so compared with the two, for Huo Quzhi, leaving the Xiongnu prince to let the three thousand Huns leave is the best choice, although it will be dealt with by military law, but it is left with a reputation of caring for soldiers.

Huo Quzhi thought for a while and said: "Ben Jiang can agree to your request, but Ben Jiang also has one condition, that is, you must leave all your weapons and horses, and from here to the south is the territory of my Qin State, and I am afraid that you will go to my Qin State to try to retaliate." ”

"No, your request is too much, I won't agree, if we give up our weapons, we won't let you slaughter if you go back on your word, and we have no power to resist. Chang Mo immediately retorted.

Huo Quzhi also said resolutely: "The weapons and the prince of the Huns must stay, and you can ride the horses, this is the last bottom line of the general, otherwise, the general will be burned with your jade." ”

Chang Mo didn't dare to go too far when he saw Huo Qubing so resolute, otherwise all his efforts would be in vain. "How do you convince me that if we lay down our arms you will let us go?"

Huo Quzhi said with a serious face: "You have also seen that Ben will be the commander of these soldiers, since Ben will promise in front of them, if you keep your promise, Ben will keep his promise and let you go, otherwise how will Ben convince the soldiers." ”

"Okay, I'll believe you, all the orders, put down your weapons. Chang Mo ordered.

Huo Quzhi sneered: "Do you still have the choice of a car? The northern soldiers get out of the way, and Li Ze, you lead three thousand soldiers to escort the Xiongnu prince back to the general, along with the weapons." ”

"No"

Soon, the Xiongnu prince and the Hun weapons were brought back by Li Ze.

Chang Mo said to Huo Quzhi: "We have done it, you must also keep your promise and leave here." ”。

After speaking, he led the men to ride their horses towards the passage that the soldiers had given way.

"Wait. Huo Quzhi said coldly, and as he spoke, he put the spear barrel into the heart of the Xiongnu prince in front of him.
