Chapter 118, Xun Yu stays behind, weird tribe
In the Xiliu camp, Qin Feng and the others were also gathering troops, preparing to go to the Xiongnu steppe to carry out their great cause.
In the military tent, Qin Feng looked at the two people in front of him full of distress, and didn't know what to do, although he was going to attack the Huns, but Xiliu had to be on guard, otherwise if the Huns took the opportunity to go around his back and attack Xiliu, I am afraid that it would not be Qin Feng who would encircle and suppress the Huns, but the Huns who would invade Youzhou in the south.....
"Gongda, Zhicai, you said that I should let any of you stay?" Qin Feng wanted to cry and said without tears, both of them are rare geniuses in a hundred years, and it is a loss for anyone to stay in obscurity.
"Lord, Gongda and I are both good at using strange soldiers, but Gongda is good at overall strategy, and I am good at arranging formations on the spot, I recommend letting Gongda go with the lord, Gongda is far better than me in the face of tens of thousands of soldiers." Xi Zhicai arched his hand to Qin Feng and said, his tone was full of sincerity without the slightest hint of inconsistency.
"Zhicai is wrong, although he is slightly better than Zhicai in the overall situation of strategy, but here the battle lord only brings more than 5,000 people, worry, Zhicai you are different, you are good at winning more and less, you should follow the lord to go." After Xun You heard Xi Zhicai's words, he hurriedly got up and said.
Qin Feng looked at the two who were constantly humbling and nodded slightly, they all knew that no matter who went to this battle, they would not worry about their lives, and they would have a chance to be famous in the world, under such circumstances, the two of them could still do this, how could this not make Qin Feng feel happy.
"Okay, Gongda's overall view is superior, it is suitable to sit in the town of Hosoyanagi and act at the opportunity and deliver news to command our army, Zhicai's heart is infinite in his heart, and he will definitely be able to win in one fell swoop on the battlefield, so he should go outside the territory with me!" Qin Feng pondered for a while and said firmly.
"No!" After hearing Qin Feng's words, the two of them, who were still humble, also replied respectfully.
"Okay, since you have no opinion, then Xun Yu will take the order!" After Qin Feng saw that the two of them were not humble, he held a token in his hand and said solemnly. "Let you stay in the camp with the soldiers of the fine willow, in case the foreign enemy comes to attack, you can act as you please!"
Xun You hurriedly stood up, hunched over, took the token in Qin Feng's hand and said, "Minister, Xun You takes orders!" ”
"Gongda, if you are defeated, you should keep the soldiers and save yourself! If we don't have a position, we can still take it back, and if we don't have you and the soldiers, I won't be able to hold more positions! Qin Feng looked at Xun You and said seriously, his tone was full of concern.
"It is important to serve the Lord!" Xun You's body trembled after hearing Qin Feng's words, and he knelt down and said solemnly.
"Don't say you can't die, I want you to live, and only by living can I lay a bigger territory and defend more cities!" Qin Feng walked in front of Xun You and gently helped Xun You up, and said.
"No!" Xun You looked at Qin Feng, who helped him up, his face was full of emotion, and a thousand words finally turned into one word.
Xi Zhicai's face was also full of emotion on the side, and his eyes when he looked at Qin Feng were also full of identification, if this kind of person couldn't get their allegiance, then who else could get it?
"Zhicai, let's go and prepare the soldiers! Bring enough grain and grass for ten days, and we will learn from the Huns. Qin Feng patted Xun You's shoulder, turned his head and said to Xi Zhicai.
"No! My lord, I'll arrange it! After Xi Zhicai finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the tent, and disappeared after a while.
"I'll leave it to you with Gongda Hosinoliu and the soldiers!" After Qin Feng said a word to Xun You again, he also walked towards the outside of the tent, leaving Xun You standing outside the tent with a face full of emotion and firmness.
After a simple preparation, Qin Feng took his army of five thousand and rode slowly towards the direction of the Xiongnu steppe, Xun You looked at the army that was getting farther and farther away, and his eyes were full of worry.
"Pass the order, and from now on, the army of Hosoyanagi will begin to be on alert, ready to support the lord at any time! The defenders of Fuyang and Yuyang are also on alert, ready to support Hosoyanagi at any time! Xun You watched the figure of the army disappear on the grassland and said to a young general beside him.
"No!" After hearing this, the young general immediately ran towards the city, and disappeared in the sea of people after a while, with the issuance of Xun You's order, the whole situation in the northern Xinjiang of Youzhou also began to be tense, and the soldiers began to get excited, and the time to prove themselves was finally coming....
On the other side, Qin Feng was leading the troops to wander around the grassland....
"Did the Zhicai scouts send out? Have you found any traces of the Huns? Qin Feng looked at the sun above his head and said with some irritation.
"My lord, we have sent out the scouts of the generals, and we have found out within a radius of more than fifty miles, and there is nothing else except the grass and the occasional herd of wild horses." Xi Zhicai smiled bitterly.
"Damn! Are those Huns rats? Hide underground! Dian Wei wiped the sweat from his head and said sullenly.
"It stands to reason that there were many Xiongnu tribes who migrated here in this grassland in the past, why didn't there be anyone this time?" Xi Zhicai spread out the map and identified the lower position and said suspiciously.
"Zhicai will not be that we are going the wrong way, it is common to get lost in this prairie!" Qin Feng looked around and said to Xi Zhicai.
"The lord won't! This map of mine is the dictatorship of my scouts, even a small hill is recorded in detail on this map, and it is absolutely impossible to get lost! Xi Zhicai shook his head and said.
"Then why don't you say there is anybody? It has made me happy for so long. Dian Wei shouted loudly, "It's really boring to have grass here except grass." ”
"Evil must not be rude!" Qin Feng frowned and said to Dian Wei.
"It's okay for the lord, General Dian is a man of temperament, don't say that General Dian came to me and I'm a little bored." Xi Zhicai shook his head and said after signaling that it was okay.
"Report!" Just then, a scout rode up from a distance, "Report to your lord!" Our army found traces of the Huns in front! The scout rode to Qin Feng not far away, gasped and said loudly.
As soon as the scout's words were finished, the entire army behind Qin Feng also seemed to be like dry flowers and plants finally ushering in the baptism of rain, and their spirits were high.
"His grandmother's, finally found someone, lord, let's go!" When Dian Wei heard this, he immediately pulled out the double halberd behind him and said, his eyes were full of excitement...
"General Dian, slow down, this station is definitely going to be fought, but ask some information first so as not to damage our army." Xi Zhicai hurriedly stopped the excited Dian Wei and said.
Seeing this, Dian Wei wanted to say something, but was stopped by Qin Feng's look, so he had to obediently ride his horse and stay aside and stop talking.
"Let me ask you, have you ever talked about how many enemies there are and how far away they are from us?" After seeing that Dian Wei had calmed down, Xi Zhicai glanced at Qin Feng with some gratitude, and then turned his head to the scout and asked.
"Report to the military division! We had discovered the enemy army sixty miles ahead, and we had observed the situation of the enemy army in general, and it was supposed to be a small tribe of only five or six hundred men, most of whom were old Huns, who were now advancing to the west. The scout said hurriedly.
"But what's so strange?" Xi Zhicai frowned slightly after hearing this, it stands to reason that the Xiongnu should be migrating to the east instead of the west, and this strange direction of travel can't help but make Xi Zhicai a little cautious.
"There's nothing strange about the Hui Army." The scout thought for a moment and said, "By the way, there don't seem to be horses in that tribe!" ”
"No horses?!" Qin Feng and Xi Zhicai said in unison, this time it was not only Xi Zhicai, but even Qin Feng felt that something was wrong.
The Xiongnu are nomads on horseback, almost everyone can ride scattering, even the smallest tribe will have almost the same number of war horses as the population, but now it is found that there are no horses in a Xiongnu tribe, which can not help but make people fall into contemplation.
"Pass on my military order and find out the situation in the vicinity for more than 100 miles!" Qin Feng opened his mouth and said.
"No!" The scout saluted, and then slapped his horse and galloped off into the distance.
"The whole army is repaired on the spot, pay attention to vigilance!" Qin Feng said to the army behind him after seeing the scout walking away.
"Zhicai, what do you think is going on?" Qin Feng saw that the army behind him was in an orderly manner, and turned his head to say to Xi Zhicai beside him.
"General, I don't know, if this is a special tribe on the grassland, it is impossible, a Xiongnu tribe cannot be mostly old and weak and have no horses." Xi Zhicai shook his head and said.
"Could that be a trap set by the Huns? They were just a decoy thrown by the Huns? Qin Feng pondered for a while and threw out such a conclusion and said.
"My lord, there is some truth in what you said, but please take a look." Xi Zhicai put the map on the horse, pointed to one of the points, and said, "This is the approximate location of that tribe!" The radius of fifty miles is almost flat, and it is difficult to hide the ambush soldiers. ”
Qin Feng looked at the map that Xi Zhicai was referring to, and sure enough, there was no mountain on a small piece of the map, "Could it be that the ambush soldiers are hiding far away?" Is it equivalent to forming an encirclement on me after we finish dealing with that tribe? Qin Feng said again.
"My lord, the closest hiding place to this place is ours, but despite this, it is still difficult for us to surround that tribe at a very fast speed, and it will take at least half an hour to complete this series of operations, and we will have enough time to escape." Xi Zhicai shook his head again and said, his eyes were full of confusion and thought.
"Then what should we do now?" Qin Feng thought for a moment and said helplessly.
"Hey, the lord's talent is limited, I'm afraid I can only procrastinate the word." Xi Zhicai sighed and said helplessly, for the first time in his life, Xi Zhicai felt that his ability was so limited and weak.
"In that case, let's wait until it gets dark..."
