After that, the soldiers of the border army under Han Boxian began to camp in Baimuling in a hurry. I saw that these soldiers had cut down the trees in the nearby mountains and built a fence for the barracks on the low hills nearby.

About half a day later, the advance cavalry of the Northern Barbarians really chased the marching route of the border army and came unexpectedly.

At this time, in fact, the Xia army border army has not completely completed the construction of the barracks barracks, at most it is only half built, and the marching tents in the barracks, except for Han Boxian's tent, the rest of the things in the camp have not been built.

There was no way, the advance cavalry of the Northern Barbarians came too fast, and it took only half a day to rush to Baimuling from a few miles away, and then build a military camp in Baimuling.

Fortunately, at this time, the barracks of the border army were built on those low hills and occupied the advantage of the high ground, so although the advance cavalry of the northern barbarians chased in front of them, they did not immediately attack the border army, but watched from a distance.

On the side of the dwarf, Han Boxian, who heard the news, also looked at the Northern Barbarian advance cavalry in the distance on the dwarf.

It is worth mentioning that perhaps the news of the defeat of Xihu came out a few days ago, but last night there was an envoy from a small tribe of Xihu who came to the barracks of the border army! This is to show goodwill!

The person who came was called Su He, and he revealed information about the Northern Barbarians to the border army, which made Han Boxian have a little trust in him, at least at this moment, this Su He was standing by Han Boxian's side,

"That's a lot -------- a lot."

From the side, Luo Ming, the general of the border army, put his hand flat on his eyebrow bone, squinted at the large group of Beiban advance cavalry in the distance, and muttered: "Good boy, how many war horses do you have to have?" ”

Listening to his muttering, several nearby border generals glanced at him speechlessly.

But then again, the Northern Barbarian advance cavalry in the distance, the war horses they have, really made them a little blushing.

You must know that the Beiban advance cavalry on the opposite side is no more than five or six thousand according to Luo Ming's eyesight, but because one person is matched with three horses, the number of war horses has reached more than fifteen thousand.

In the eyes of the generals of the Xia Kingdom, this is simply a luxury and waste.

"If you can capture some horses--------"

I believe that at this moment, most of the generals of these border armies are fantasizing about this.

Including the handsome Han Boxian.

After all, the handsome man stared intently at the centaur with a gaze, not so much murderous, but "want to get something".

At this time, Su He opened his mouth and reminded: "As I said, the Northern Barbarian warriors of the Northern Barbarians do not have a logistics army dedicated to logistics like the army of your country, and their food for the past few days is carried on the back of one of the other two horses. And, from this moment on, their feet will no longer set foot on the ground, and they will eat and drink on horseback. ”

"is also solved on horseback?" Luo Ming asked inappropriately, causing everyone nearby to show strange expressions.

"Uh------ yes." Su He nodded, made a weird gesture, and explained: "Like this, half-sitting on the back of a horse and pulling -------, solve." ”

"Fortunately, Una can't understand my Da Xia's words------"

Han Boxian glanced at the generals of the border army, but saw that their faces were full of expressions such as "Oh, I see" and "I have really seen a lot".

No way, none of his generals are familiar with the Northern Barbarians

Obviously, the gang was actually curious about it.

At this moment, Luo Ming asked in a deep voice, "What about ...... How do they solve the problem of drinking water? Do horses carry water on their backs? ”

"Every Northern Barbarian cavalryman is equipped with two water bladders. The outside is sewn with sheepskin, and the inside is the stomach pouch of the sheep, or...... Hmm, "sheep bubbles" made of ......"

"Sheep bubbles? What is that? Luo Ming interjected.

"Sheep bladder ......"

Han Boxian glanced at Luo Ming, but wisely did not speak.

Sure enough, when Su He explained what the "sheep bubble" was, all the border army generals showed strange expressions.

"Less interjection!" Han Boxian glared at Luo Ming fiercely, and then said calmly to Su He, "You go on." ”

"In fact, the sheep bubble is washed and used to hold water...... Okay, I'll move on to the Northern Barbarian cavalry. Su He wisely terminated his intention to explain the benefits of sheep bubbles to these Xia soldiers, and continued to talk about the drinking water of the Northern Barbarian cavalry: "These two water bladders are enough to sustain a Northern Barbarian warrior for a day, in other words, they will always be by your side for a day, shooting soldiers to death with longbows. If they run out of water in the water bladder, they will first retreat half of the cavalry, go to a nearby stream or mountain stream to replenish drinking water, fill the two water bladders, and then these people will return again and exchange with the other half of the cavalry. ”

That is to say...... Impeccable? The general of the border army frowned and asked, "What about sleeping?" Also on horseback? ”

"Of course." Su He nodded, and said with some pride: "Any Northern Barbarian warrior must master the skill of sleeping on horseback. Maybe your Xia army can't accept it, an excellent Northern Barbarian warrior can let his companion hold the reins, and he is lying on his back on the back of the horse and falling asleep, in the process of running the war horse. ”

"How could it be ......"

The generals of the border army showed an unbelievable look when they heard this, after all, in their opinion, the thing of "lying on their backs and sleeping on a running war horse" is too unbelievable, so they are not afraid of falling off their horses and falling to their deaths?

"Alright. The generals under the command of this general also have a general understanding of the ability of the Northern Barbarian cavalry------- so in your opinion, it seems that in the current situation, how will the Northern Barbarian cavalry on the opposite side attack the military camp of our army? Han Boxian asked Su Hedao.

Hearing this, Su He said with a smile: "In the absence of the slave army to consume the physical strength of the enemy's soldiers, the Northern Barbarian cavalry will become much more cautious in their combat methods, and will not make unnecessary attacks, let alone rush up the mountain rashly, and will only shoot the soldiers of your army with longbows. ”

"It's easy to prevent, is there?"

There is also ----- said that the location of the marshal camping is good, and there is a mountain stream under this low hill, so that the "siege" method used by the Northern Barbarian cavalry has no effect. However, they may block the stream with something in the upper reaches of this mountain stream, so that the soldiers of your army will not have water. Or, use feces to pollute the stream water so that the stream water that flows near the low hill is no longer drinkable, otherwise it will become sick. ”

"Hmm. Anything else? ”

"Finally------" Su He didn't know what he saw at this time, he snorted his mouth towards the front and said, "Oh, it's here." ------- challenge of riding alone. ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a loud Beiban language coming from under the low hill.

Everyone took a closer look, only to find that there was a very strong Northern Barbarian cavalry, fighting under the low hills.

"Fighting generals ----- before the battle"

Han Boxian touched his chin, his eyes shining thoughtfully.

"xxxx, Xia people, xxxx. Day xxxx you xxxx! ”

At the foot of the low hill, the strong Northern Barbarian knight pointed at the Xia soldiers on the hill and shouted loudly.

But because of the language barrier, the soldiers on the border could not understand what this guy was saying at all, so they only paid attention for a moment and continued to do their own thing, that is, to build a barracks barracks.

On the top of the low hill, Han Boxian and several generals of the border army also looked at the bottom of the mountain with a confused face because of the language barrier.

Seeing this, Su He reminded: "That guy ------ want to challenge the strongest warrior of your army. ”

Su He automatically translated "the first warrior in your tribe" in the other party's words into "the strongest warrior in your army".

"The strongest warrior? Generals? ”

Luo Ming, the general of the border army, said with a smile when he heard this: "It's a little interesting, otherwise I will meet him when I go down?" ”

"Don't." Another general of the border army said lightly: "The other party is just a soldier, if you, the general of our army, come out, my border army will inevitably be too cheap------

Hearing this, Su He explained in a low voice: "The other party is not just a "small soldier". ”

"Oh? Isn't it? Wen Xu looked at Su He with a little surprise.

But seeing Su He nodding and saying, "At least it's a 'centurion', but I guess it may be a 'centurion'." ------ ordinary Northern Barbarian warriors, at such a time, they are not qualified to provoke a single fight against the enemy. ”

"Centurion? Thousand-torn? -----What is that? ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard Han Boxian explain lightly: "The "centurion" is equivalent to my "team leader" in Great Xia, and the "commander of a thousand people" is equivalent to the "battalion captain" of a thousand-person battalion in our Great Xia,----------- this should be a military position drawn up by the Northern Barbarians in imitation of my Great Xia. ”

"-------That's right." Su He glanced at Han Boxian, slightly surprised.

After all, before this, he thought that the Xia army knew nothing about the Northern Barbarians, but at the moment, the Xia Kingdom may not have a lot of information about the Northern Barbarians.

“

Battalion captain-------" Luo Ming touched his chin and muttered, "This is really a bit cheap-------

You must know that Luo Ming and Wen Xu, who are generals at the level of deputy marshal, are generals who are trusted by the marshal Han Boxian and have the ability to take charge on their own, and they are only one level lower than the "marshal" level in the military system.

"Why don't you change me?" Bai Jun, a battalion captain of the border army, said with a smile: "The other party is a cavalry general, and it just so happens that I am also a cavalry general, so let me weigh the other party's ability!" ”

However, before he finished his words, another general named Shen Yan next to him stepped forward and said lightly: "It's better to change me." ”

"Why you?"

"If you can, of course I can too."

In fact, these two are both battalion captains of the "cavalry battalion" of the border army.

Because the "cavalry battalion" of the border army is accustomed to using the method of vehicle suspension warfare, it is necessary to have two battalion captains at the same time to serve as the "axe" and "axe" in the vehicle suspension array.

And these two battalion captains, that is, Bai Jun and Shen Yan at the level of battalion generals.

Seeing Bai Jun and Shen Yan arguing there, Han Boxian frowned, and said unhappily: "No one needs to go down the mountain to fight. ------- don't bother! ”

"Don't bother?"

The generals looked at Han Boxian in surprise, a little incomprehensible.

After all, in their opinion, when the opposing northern barbarians took the lead in fighting and provoking, if their border army ignored it, wouldn't this boost the arrogance of those northern barbarians and destroy the prestige of their border army?

Although the psychological quality of the soldiers of their border army is excellent, and it is difficult to shake the morale easily, but the thing of "not being afraid of not going to war" is not a good reputation for the border army after all, right?

As if he had guessed the emotions of the generals, Han Boxian said coldly: "The commander has made up his mind, no one should pay attention to the provocation of the northern barbarians under the mountain, this is an order!" ”

Seeing that the marshal had talked about this, the generals naturally did not dare to disobey.

"Dashuai...... Is this a ploy for arrogance? ”

General Luo Ming and Han Boxian glanced at each other,

It's a pity that they still didn't guess Han Boxian's real intentions.

Perhaps in this military camp, only Luo Ming knew Han Boxian's true intentions.

About half an hour passed, and because of Han Boxian's ban, the generals of the border army ignored the provocation of the Northern Barbarian cavalry at the foot of the mountain.

This made the Northern Barbarian cavalry under the low hill proud, but also couldn't help but feel a little angry, and shouted something in a stern tone.

"xxxxxx coward xxxxx, Xia man xxxxxxxxx waste!"

Although the language was not understood, the generals on the low hill could guess casually, and they could also think that this must be the other party insulting them.

It's just that, because they don't understand, instead of being annoyed, they are a little curious about what the northern barbarian is scolding.

For example, Luo Ming couldn't help but ask Su Hedao: "Hey, Su He, that Northern Barbarian, is he scolding me and waiting?" What is he scolding? ”

“---------”

Su He glanced at the generals of the border army with curious faces, and translated with a wry smile: "He said, "The cowardly Xia army, you are lambs, earth dogs-------- and so on!" ””

"Huh?"

The generals of the border army looked at Su He with some dumbfoundedness, and said in their hearts: What kind of scolding words is this? As if he had guessed the confusion in the hearts of these people, Su He explained with some headache: "In the culture of the Northern Barbarians, the lamb is used to describe a cowardly coward, just like a lamb without any resistance, and the earth dog is used by the Northern Barbarians at this time to guard the tents and sheep's livestock, so it is used to insult the other party, which is already the lowest --------- quite unbearable curse. ”

After that, he saw that the generals of the nearby border army were not only not annoyed, but looked a little dumbfounded, so he asked curiously: "Aren't you angry?" What is the swear like in your country? ”

"Greet the women in the other party's family directly, especially the elders...... Something. Luo Ming's frank explanation made the expressions of the nearby generals a little subtle.

"Greetings?" Su He was a little puzzled when he heard this word, after all, in his understanding, greeting was a good word, how could it involve swearing?

"This is the difference between the cultures of the two peoples--------"

The handsome Han Boxian also dropped a muttering similar to "boring" and turned to leave.

As soon as these two left, the generals of the border army also dispersed and went to fulfill their responsibilities, leaving only Su Yiren, still standing on the top of the low hill, looking at the Northern Barbarian cavalry under the low hill, while trying to understand the meaning of the word "greeting" in the Xia Chinese dialect.

He had a vague feeling that the word might have another meaning.

In this way, while the border soldiers were in full swing to build the barracks barracks, those Northern Barbarian cavalry scolded at the foot of the low hills.

Unfortunately, due to the language barrier, the soldiers of the border army could not understand what these people were scolding, so they did not pay attention to it at all, and in addition to guarding each other, they still built their own barracks.

It was a farce.

However, during this period, those Northern Barbarian cavalry tried to use the longbow in their hands to shoot two rounds of arrows at the border troops on the low hill, but unfortunately, because Han Boxian had already been reminded by Su He, the two arrows of the Northern Barbarian cavalry almost failed to have any effect.

Except for a few unlucky ghosts who used their shields to protect themselves against their disadvantage, they were shot in the arm, and there were hardly any casualties.

But think about it, after all, the arrows of the Northern Barbarian cavalry are still "two-winged arrowheads", and they can't pose any threat to the iron shields of the infantry of the border army.

In this way, the two sides remained at a stalemate until late at night.

Around midnight that night, this group of Northern Barbarian cavalry took advantage of the night to launch a tentative sneak attack on the border army's barracks, but unfortunately there was no gain, and after leaving only a few dozen corpses, the Beiban advance cavalry retreated when they saw that the border army camp was heavily defended.

And with this retreat, this Northern Barbarian advance cavalry lost its trace.

In this regard, Su He explained to Han Boxian and the generals of the border army: "The other party may have temporarily retreated and rested. ”

Hearing this, Luo Ming frowned and asked, "Is it really impossible to go and sneak attack?" ”

Su He thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about it first, this general, do you know that the Northern Barbarian cavalry retreated in that direction to rest?" ”

As soon as the words fell, including Wen Xu, the generals of the border army were speechless.

It has to be said that this is the advantage of the nomadic cavalry, who have no logistical burden, when facing a mixed army of peasant peoples: when they temporarily retreat to rest, it is almost impossible to find the traces of the other side, and naturally, there is no way to talk about a sneak attack.

If you reluctantly send troops at night and forcibly attack the other side, not only will it be difficult to get anything to gain, but on the other hand, the army sent out may be eaten by the other side.

However, what made the generals of the border army feel strange was that the next morning, the Beiban advance cavalry did not appear under the low hill on time as Su He said, and it was not until the afternoon that this group slowly approached this low hill.

At the same time, the general, who was in charge of keeping an eye on the water level of the stream, found that the water potential of the stream was much lower than yesterday, and there seemed to be some strange smell mixed in the stream.

After hearing the news, Su He immediately reminded the generals of the border army.

"The water of this stream is no longer drinkable. …… As to why you can't drink it anymore, you won't want to hear why. ”

Later, when the border army, with the assistance of the Xia army on the other side, annihilated this Beiban advance cavalry, they understood why Su He reminded them not to drink the water of the river stream a few days ago.

It turned out that the Beiban advance cavalry not only blocked the river stream with trees, rocks and other objects, but also polluted the stream with a large amount of their feces and the feces of their mounts under the "dam".

As a result, the Beiban advance cavalry could still obtain high-quality water upstream of the "dam", while the border army could only get some insignificant and polluted water.

This slightly smelly water doesn't look like it's drinkable.

And this is also one of the tactics used by the Northern Barbarians, besieging the enemy army and cutting off its water source!

"It's really a great help to our army, Leader Su Heshao."

Han Boxian said to Su He in front of all the border army generals under his command.

As he said this, they were drinking normal water.

It turned out that as early as Su He reminded the border army of the tactics used by the Northern Barbarians, as early as when the Northern Barbarian advance cavalry had not polluted the water source of the river stream, the soldiers of the border army had dug several deep pits on the other side of this low hill, and then dug a canal to introduce the water of the river stream, which was still of high quality at that time, into those deep pits and used as a reservoir.

When the pool was full, the soldiers of the border army filled in the canal.

Therefore, even if the Northern Barbarian advance cavalry polluted the water source of the river, the border army still had high-quality water to drink.

Although the reserves of this water are not large, the few days required to maintain Han Boxian's plan are more than enough.

And all this is the credit of Su He, the young leader of the small tribe of Xihu.

Even Han Boxian had to admit that if there was no reminder from Su He, their border army would definitely fall into the embarrassment of having no water to drink, and they could only be forced to drink those polluted water sources, and then their stomachs were damaged by those stinky water, they were sick and diarrhea, and they were weak and weak.

On the battlefield, if a soldier catches a disease, even if it is just a diarrhea that weakens his body, it is enough to pronounce him dead.

As for Han Boxian's praise, Su He said with a smile: "Since I have decided to help Dashuai, I am naturally wholeheartedly. --------My tribe has always treated friends wholeheartedly and will never betray each other's friendship. ”

Not to mention, his honest appearance and words that showed his heart made the generals of the border army have a good impression of Su He, and even with it, it has also changed a lot of the Xihu tribe, which is still hostile.

"What do you want to say about this Su He?"

Afterwards, Han Boxian asked Luo Ming, after all, Luo Ming's expression at that time was a little subtle, as if there was a kind of "belief that has always collapsed slightly".

"It's just nice to say." Luo Ming replied expressionlessly: "The Xihu tribe is a branch of the Northern Barbarians, and the Xihu people are the same as the Northern Barbarians, how can he assist me in dealing with the Northern Barbarians?" ”

"But he did, didn't he?" Han Boxian said with a smile: "If it weren't for the information that Su He revealed to me, especially the water problem, I believe that the current situation of my border army would not be so good, right?" ”

"--------" Han Boxian was silent.

After a long time, he said in a deep voice: "Even so, it is only one person,------ most of the Xihu tribes still have a neutral attitude of "Mingzhe to protect themselves", right? ”

"That's not an exaggeration." Han Boxian said with a smile: "Fang Cai also said that the Xihu people and the Northern Barbarians are on the same side, in this case, to remain neutral, to be more honest, it is actually biased towards my Great Xia, isn't it?" ”

"------" Luo Ming was speechless.

It's no wonder, after all, that he wasn't a man of good words.

After a long time, he nodded slowly, and said in a reluctant tone, "Excuse me...... For the time being, I will regard this Tuyan tribe as my friendly neighbor of Daxia, but I will say ugly things in front, if these Tuyan people betray the trust of my Daxia and betray the trust of Dashuai, then when the time comes, I will lead the army to level this tribe! ”

Listening to Luo Ming's threatening tone, Han Boxian suddenly smiled and teased: "Sudden face people...... You just used "Tuyan people" to refer to the people of the Xihu tribe, not the "Xihu people" in the previous sentence! ”

"......" Luo Ming opened his mouth and left angrily.

"What a dishonest guy......"

Looking at Luo Ming's departing back, Han Boxian shook his head speechlessly.

I have to say that no matter from which point of view, Han Boxian, a handsome, can be called a qualified handsome. Know the relationship and coordinate the overall situation

But it is undeniable that the general under his command, Luo Ming, who once held the mentality of "slaughtering all the people who are not my race", now recognizes, even if only temporarily recognizes the Suhe and Tuyan tribes, which can be called a major change.

And this major change made Han Boxian feel a very strong sense of achievement.

"Next, it's up to the rest of the Xihu people! That's a good start! Let's hope they don't make the wrong choice. ”

Standing on the low hill and looking in the direction of Xihu, Han Boxian muttered in his heart.

At the same time, in Xihu, the leaders of several small Xihu tribes living on the border between Lingzhou and Xihu, as Han Boxian estimated, the patriarchs of the local tribes, were gathering together to discuss a major event that would affect the entire southern part of Xihu.

That is, to choose between Xia and Xihu.

These tribes are not particularly strong tribes, they can only be regarded as small and medium-sized tribes in the land of Xihu, after all, the really powerful tribes generally live alone in a certain area, and only some small and medium-sized tribes with insufficient strength will live together in order to prevent invasion by foreign enemies.

And among these tribes who participated in this meeting. As the initiator of this meeting, Bitu, the patriarch of the "Wuyan" tribe, is actively persuading the tribal patriarchs present to defect to the side of the Northern Barbarians and support the Northern Barbarian Tribe's war against Xia.

In fact, the Wuyan tribe is not the Xihu tribe that lives near Beiman.

"------- Xia people are the foreign enemies who slaughtered our people, and the Beiban are our compatriots. Do you patriarchs want to watch as foreign enemies continue to slaughter our people? ------Don't think that the Xia Kingdom didn't think about retaking this land, sooner or later they will go to war with our clan because of this land, they are the enemies of our clan, and they are butchers dressed in the skin of kindness! ”

"I'm afraid this guy has already defected to the Northern Barbarians----- right?"

The patriarch of the Tuyan tribe, Odun Gerile, sat in the felt tent of the meeting, and when he heard this, he glanced at Bitu, the patriarch of the Wuyan tribe, lightly.

Unlike the Wuyan tribe, the Tuyan tribe had a good impression of the Xia Kingdom, as there was a lot of trading between their tribe and the Xia people.

Therefore, the patriarch of the Tuyan tribe, Odun Gerile, has always hoped to get closer to the Xia Kingdom.

Of course, there is another reason, although the Wuyan tribe and the Tuyan tribe are both tribes of Xihu, this tribe has always had a bad reputation.

Just like one year, the people of the Wuyan tribe actually went to rob the sheep grazing by the Tuyan tribe, but as a result, they were defeated by the Tuyan tribe with the assistance of a team of border troops, which was simply humiliating and humiliating.

Therefore, the patriarch of the Tuyan tribe, Otun Gerile, opened his mouth and said, "Support the Northern Barbarian Tribe? Doesn't this mean tearing up your face with Xia Guo? Do you want us to be enemies of our powerful neighbors? ”

"Powerful neighbors?" Hearing this, the patriarch of the Wuyan tribe, Bitu sneered: "First of all, how can the Xia Kingdom be called a friendly neighbor? Their armies slaughtered our people in our Sihu. Secondly, the army of the Northern Barbarian tribe has forced those Xia troops to a dead end. ------- those shameless Xia troops who bully the weak and fear the hard, they only dare to attack the weak tribes, and when they encounter the army of the Northern Barbarian tribe, what did they do? They actually ran away with their tails between their legs, hahahaha. ”

After a pause, Bitu licked his lips and continued: "And now, those Xia troops have been forced to Baimuling by the warriors of the Northern Barbarian Tribe, and Delejeb of the Northern Barbarian Tribe hopes that you will cut off the retreat of these Xia troops, and work together with each other to kill all these Xia troops who invaded my Xihu!" ------- brave Beiban, let the Xia army understand that this is not something they can attack at will! This is our land, and no one can take it away! ”

Listening to the words of Bitu, the patriarch of the Wuyan tribe, the patriarchs in the felt tent whispered.

"The army of the Xia Kingdom was really defeated by the Northern Barbarian Tribe?"

"That's what I heard, I thought it was just a rumor-----"

"According to this, in fact, the army of the Xia Kingdom is not invincible------

Hearing these remarks, the patriarch of the Tuyan tribe, Odun Gerile, frowned, stood up, and said: "Everyone, everyone, the army of the Xia Kingdom is brave and good at fighting, what do you say to retreat without a fight, this is simply the art of war of the Xia army, you should not naively think that the Xia Kingdom is vulnerable because the Northern Barbarian tribe has the upper hand now. ------It was a powerful nation, and we had no reason to be an enemy of such a powerful country until they had made it clear that they were trying to conquer us!" ”

"However, the Xia army has destroyed a tribe in our hinterland." The patriarch of a tribe said in an unclear tone: "This tribe, but it was ruthlessly slaughtered by the border army of the Xia Kingdom, how should this account be calculated?" ”

"-------" The patriarch of the Tuyan tribe, Odun Gerile, opened his mouth, speechless, after all, what the other party said was indeed the truth.

Halfway through, he let out a long sigh, shook his head and said, "No matter what, my Tuyan tribe will not agree to start a war with the Xia Kingdom, this is self-destruction!" ”

And after the Tuyan tribe, the patriarchs of two smaller tribes made it clear that they were unwilling to go to war with the Xia Kingdom.

In addition, the rest of the tribes, after various considerations, successively decided to support the Northern Barbarian tribe and drive out the Xia army.

"What stupidity!"

Seeing that these people were unwilling to listen to their persuasion, the patriarch of the Tuyan tribe, Odun Gerile, closed his eyes sadly.

He had a premonition that the stupid actions of these patriarchs would completely destroy their tribe!

========= dividing line =========

"How do you pronounce this word?"

It's a "break", a "break" that cuts off the way back. ”

"Oh-----, it's a shame, but I'm ......"

"That's no way, now the war is busy, and the general doesn't have time to learn words------

"When you say that, you feel like it's acceptable------"

At the other end of the Wuling Valley, the 10,000 Lingzhou border army had reached the established position and built a simple military camp on the side of the mountain stream on the higher ground.

The above conversation took place in the tent of the military camp, when General Luo Tao, after receiving another letter from Han Boxian, summoned his generals and guards to study the contents of the letter together.

Obviously, these people were born in Daxia, but the handsome Han Boxian wrote a letter written by the Xia army with "Xia characters", but he asked this group of people to work together to "crack", which made Luo Detao and others feel an inexplicable shame.

However, there is no way that an illiterate general will have a bunch of illiterate subordinates.

"It shouldn't be wrong, ......"

With a long breath, Luo Detao carefully folded the letter from the marshal, put it in his arms, and immediately said to the generals in the tent: "Ladies and gentlemen, according to what the marshal wrote in the letter, the Xihu tribe living in the border area may have defected to the Beiban tribe, so the marshal has ordered us to be vigilant and pay attention to the tribes in that area. ”

"Take refuge in the Northern Barbarians?"

The generals in the tent all showed expressions like "is it tolerable or unbearable" when they heard this.

"At this time, the thief's heart is not dead, and he intends to take refuge in the Northern Barbarian------- he should be killed!"

One of the generals snorted coldly.

As if to see through the thoughts of these generals, Luo Detao hurriedly stopped: "Don't be impatient, everyone, the meaning of the commander is to let those people expose their attempts to "take refuge". So------ just spy on them. ”

"The last will obey."

The generals clasped their fists in response.

Seeing this, Luo Tao waved his hand and said, "Okay, everyone, let's step back and make arrangements, General Qu Holmium will stay." ”

After a while, all the generals in the tent retreated, and even Luo Detao's personal guards left the tent, except for a nearly forty-year-old veteran who remained in the tent, and this person was the deputy general that Luo Detao relied on, Zhai Huang.

"General Zhai, how is that thing going?" Luo Tao asked: "At most, in two days, the border army will withdraw from Wuling Valley to this side, if something goes wrong on our side at that time, not only will we not be able to resist the importance of the marshal to us, but also let my comrades see our ------- clearly."

Hearing this, Zhai Huang said with a smile: "General rest assured, three days of work is enough for our army to build a defensive line and set up those crossbows that have been rushed over, not to mention these vanguard cavalry of the Northern Barbarians, even if the Northern Barbarian cavalry is all here, it will be difficult to break out of the Wuling Valley alive." ”

"Good!"

Luo Detao stood up, clenched his fists, and said with great interest: "Although it is stained with the light of the crossbow, it is ...... With this battle, we will justify the name of our border army! ”

Beside him, Zhai Huang hugged his fists heavily.

"Yes!"

Just when Luo Tao's side was intensively preparing to ambush the five or six thousand Beiban advance cavalry, Dingyuan City, dozens of miles away, his general Mu Lu also received a letter from Han Boxian.

And the content of the letter made the general frown, and he seemed to be a little unhappy.

"I refused to fight, and I was proud of the enemy...... This is simply to lure the rest of the Xihu tribe-----"

After a long time, Mu Partridge put down the letter in his hand and stood at the window of the house, looking in the direction of Xihu. Ding Run was standing beside him

Mu Partridge said excitedly: "Dashuai's strategy is really good!" Although this Xihu has a delicate disease, it still can't leave any future troubles after all! ”

After that, his eyes were cold, and he muttered: "But what does this handsome man mean by letting me stand still?" Could it be to be used as a surprise soldier? ”

"The last general doesn't think much of it." Ding Run smiled faintly.

"Oh?" Mu Partridge turned his head and asked.

"What the big commander means, the last general is not easy to judge, but the last general can be sure that in this matter, the big commander definitely doesn't want us to do nothing!" Ding Run put the letter in his hand back on the table, and said with a chuckle: "What do you think, Dashuai's border army slaughtered several Xihu tribes-------- but Dashuai revealed in the letter, let's contact with some tribes in Xihu, the general doesn't think that it was Dashuai who took the initiative to reconcile, right?" Could the big boss want us to "rebel"? ”

"......" Mu Partridge touched his chin and nodded slowly.

"Rebellion? Could it be that this is the idea of the handsome? Mu Partridge thought to himself.

"Handsome?" Seeing that Mu Partridge was silent for a long time, Ding Run asked, "Do you want to respond to what you said in the letter?" ”

I saw Mu Partridge let out a long breath and said melancholy: "Then according to what this marshal said, our army will rest in Dingyuan for the time being!" As for the matter of contact, let's discuss it again! ”

After that, Mu Que immediately wrote a reply letter, handed it to Ding Run, and solemnly advised: "Ding Run, you lead the hundred horses, be sure to personally hand over this letter to the marshal." After that, you will stay with Dashuai for the time being. Got it? ”

"The last general obeys!" Ding Run took the letter and responded with a fist.

About half an hour later, Ding Run led more than 100 cavalry from Dingyuan City to go in one direction, after all, according to Han Boxian's letter, the current border army is stationed in Baimuling.

But a day later, when Ding Run and his party came to the vicinity, he frowned and found that he would encounter many sheep grazing by local tribes along the way, but this time, those sheep seemed to have been moved elsewhere, replaced by a felt tent that stretched for more than ten miles.

In the process, they even encountered a cavalry of a local tribe.

There were not many people, only thirty or forty people, and it was very likely that they were sentinels who inquired about the hostile forces.

But the sentry made a hostile move: they sounded their horns to warn and summon friendly troops.

"Damn it!"

Ding Run cursed secretly in his heart, and did not dare to go directly to Baimuling, but turned into the nearby hills, and finally got rid of those sentry horses.

Because of this kind of obstacle along the way, it was not until a day later that Ding Run led more than 100 Dingyuan City cavalry to Baimuling.

When he got to Baimuling to take a look, Ding Run was almost startled by what he saw, because he found that under the barracks built by the border army on a low hill, under that low hill, there were actually five or six thousand suspected Northern Barbarian cavalry troops.

These cavalrymen, who did not know whether they were tempting the enemy or simply looking down on the frontier troops on the low hills, rarely dismounted, and lay on the ground to take a nap in the sun.

In the face of such a good opportunity for a sneak attack, the border army closed the camp gate, and there was no intention of going to war.

It is hard to imagine that the border army will have a time when they will not be able to fight.

Frowning, Ding Run took more than 100 horsemen straight up the mountain, and after reporting his identity, he was led to the handsome tent by Luo Ming, the general of the border army, and saw Han Boxian, the marshal of the border army, and handed over the letter of Marshal Mu to Han Boxian, the king of Su, who heard the news.

And at this time, Han Boxian's words made Ding Run's heart slightly shocked, and he didn't know how to reply.

"Humph! …… It took nearly two days to deliver the letter, and it seems that there are many obstacles encountered along the way. ”
