A few days later, when Li Mu got the news that the veteran Tan Yi was killed in battle, he was drinking tea in the courtyard.

His hand holding the teacup was steady, but the water in the teacup was shaking. He suppressed his anger and put the teacup on the stone table as gently as he could, but he still heard a "pop", and the teacup was shattered.

Li Mu raised his eyes to look at the sky again. It was a cloudy day. Tan Yi, that old guy, finally said as he said, the general inevitably died in battle and died in the country.

It only took half a stick of incense to calm down. He paced a few steps in the courtyard, and then asked the spies who came to report: "Who is the leader of the front army of the Northern Route Army this time?" Maybe it was Tan Yi who he shot? ”

"Report to the General. This time, the former commander of the army is Li Xin. It was he who single-handedly assaulted and shot the old General Tan Yi. The spy replied affirmatively.

"Li Xin?" Li Mu smiled bitterly, and thought to himself: "Uncle's grandsons are so old. I didn't expect that as soon as my nephew was born, it would be so earth-shattering. ”

When he was silent in the courtyard, suddenly the door came to report that the edict of King Zhao had arrived.

Zhao Wangqian signed the royal edict, ordering Li Mu to quickly take charge of the tiger talisman, take over as the commander of the anti-Qin army, and lead the deputy commander Ouyang Shang, and lead the 100,000 troops of Zhao to the front line to resist the Qin army. There must be no mistakes.

Li Mu felt that this "no mistake" was very ironic. It has been delayed for so many days, delayed until several generals died and more than a dozen cities were lost, and only then did I remember that there could be no "mistake".

In a fit of rage, he swept the cup on the table that had shattered in half and threw it to the ground. There was a bang, and the quilt fell even more finely. Then Li Mu ordered: "Prepare the armor and war horse, and tell Li Xuan, Li Ji, go with me on the expedition." ”

Feng Luotang and the others have not left Gaoliu City in the past few days.

Because Lin Yu analyzed, even if he didn't need them, Li Mu would not lose this battle. However, in the north of Gaoliu City, there is a big variable. They didn't dare to leave here.

The day before yesterday, the virtual mantis brought back the latest news. Fan Yuzhi has never left the Saibei grassland. Although the order of the blue wolf king has been transmitted to every corner of the grassland, there are still about 10,000 Hun cavalry who have moved.

The person who mobilized these cavalry this time is said to be the former king of the ragged Burigud, and the one who acquiesced in this large-scale military transfer must have been Touman Danyu. And Fan Yuzhi personally said that he would also accompany the army to help.

"Could it be that such a large-scale military transfer, Tou Manshan doesn't know about the iron wolf Tiemuchuan there?" Feng Luotang, who has a relatively deep understanding of the situation in the grassland recently, asked.

"I don't know." Lin Yu said: "I'm afraid that he can't help himself and can't stop it." ”

Lin Yu's analysis is completely correct. Temukawa had already discovered this anomaly for the first time. He rushed into Shan Yu's main tent, knelt on the ground and reported to the head Manshan Yu and said: "There are about 10,000 people, who do not obey Shan Yu's orders, and gather privately, wanting to attack the south. ”

Tou Mandan looked confused and said, "Oh? How could such a thing happen? The order of the Blue Wolf King has been sent to every tent. There could be no such bold herdsman who did not obey orders! Temuchuan, you take 1,000 people from my own barracks to find out who didn't obey orders and acted recklessly. ”

Temukawa received the order and mobilized the sergeants to the pro-military camp. But what he didn't expect was that a designed mutiny had been waiting for him for a long time.

Before the others arrived, the trap was ready for him. The mutiny of thousands of people is as brave as an iron wolf, and it is impossible to escape.

He was sturdyly bound in a huge iron cage and left in a tent where there was no sunlight all day.

In order to prevent him from letting out a high-pitched wolf howl, the Hun soldiers tied his mouth fiercely.

In the dark, the iron wolf's green eyes stared at the dark tent.

Gradually, his mind turned around and he realized that he had only fallen into a trap set by Tou Mandan himself.

It seems that the blue wolf king should exercise his rights to this grassland, otherwise these Huns have forgotten the rules of the grassland.

If those simple-minded and well-developed Huns thought that they could trap the warrior Tiemuchuan of the wolf clan in this way, it would only show that they were stupid.

Temuchuan sat in a huge iron cage and slowly transported his true qi. Steaming began to rise from his body. The heat gradually reddened his skin.

And those leather-woven ropes smell of burnt leather in the slightest wisps of continuous high temperature. The heat was still rising, and Temugawa was like a heated furnace, and his green eyes were also fiery red, as if there were flames beating inside.

After two sticks of incense, the leather ropes that were scorched in the heat became fragile. Tekikawa only shook slightly, and all the ropes broke.

He slowly stood up from the cage, untied the rope from his mouth and elsewhere, tensed his muscles, and grabbed the fence of the cage.

Tekikawa didn't make a sound. He just bowed his back, his muscles knotted. True Qi was continuously poured into his hands, and with a huge internal force, he broke the fence on both sides.

The thumb-thick fence was slowly bent by him. The wolf people have been powerful since ancient times, and the best of them are like iron wolves who have achieved extraordinary martial arts, and they are even more powerful.

In the darkness, there was only the harsh sound of metal being twisted, and the sound of Tekigawa's heavy breathing. In a few moments, Temukawa broke open a large hole in the iron cage that could be passed through.

Tekikawa walked out slowly. He stood in the dark tent, felt the strength of the defenders around him, and then stepped forward, transforming into a large dark brown wolf.

That's right, it's called Iron Wolf because he has a thick rust-red coat. He walked very lightly to the door of the tent, and quietly opened the curtain with his mouth.

There were only four or five people guarding outside. The iron wolf sat quietly in the tent until the moon was overhead, and the people fell into a drowsy.

He tiptoed out. A few leaps, and a dark shadow swept past the guards. Only one of them saw the shadow. He exclaimed, "What's that?" ”

Others followed the prestige, but they could only see that only the wind of the grassland was blowing through the barren grass in all directions, and there was no suspicious trace.

Tekikawa ran as fast as he could. The wolf's paws trampled on the snow and made a hurried sound.

When he ran out of the Hun camp, he suddenly stopped, and let out a high-pitched and deep howl from his throat at the dark snow-capped mountains in the distance.

The wolf howl was not very sharp, and it whimpered, as if it were confiding. Not far away, a steppe wolf heard this wolf howl and whimpered and howled together.

The howls of the wild wolves began one after another, gradually spreading into the distance. When the night patrol timberwolves heard this, they continued to howl similarly in the direction of the Great Snow Mountain.

Temuchuan listened to the wolf howl that was gradually spreading away, and his heart was at ease. He knew he had sent the news out. The Blue Wolf King will not rest on his laurels.

Then, in the snow, he turned the body of the giant wolf, which was running hot, and looked at the still quiet Hun tents, and let out a hot snort in his nose.

The Hun king really forgot the rules of the steppe. Temukawa's eyes returned to a faint green, like two ghostly lamps in the dark night.

Then the two green lights floating in the night began to move rapidly again in the direction of the Great Snow Mountain.

Burigood was a strong man in his forties. His hair was gray, braided at the back of his neck, tucked behind his head, and he was still wearing a ragged shorts.

The former strapped king's small eyes were cunning, and the wrinkles around the eyes and the slightly red and swollen corners of the eyes made him look a little more ruthless.

As the leader of the exterminated clan, Burigud didn't care about any dignity. He has long been on the run, forgetting the extravagance and enjoyment of the past.

He has nothing but hatred now. The deep hatred of destroying his relatives and clan burned him hard to sleep every night. Until he met this Han man named Fan Yuqi.

He raised his sparse white eyebrows, and looked at Fan Yuzhi beside him with enthusiasm.

When the man told him that he would be given a chance to take revenge, he finally slept soundly.

The gathering of nearly 10,000 Xiongnu soldiers was not very fast, and it really took some time. It took half a month for these herdsmen on the grassland to gather together from tents everywhere.

When Burigood saw so many young and strong warriors, he was thrilled. He said to the god-like figure beside him, "Archmage, the team has been assembled. When do we head south? ”

Fan Yu looked to the southern sky and said to the Hun Ai Litan who led the team: "Let our great Xiongnu warriors rest for two days first." The Immortal Heavens will tell us when to set out in order to bring us supreme glory and victory. ”

Touman Danyu's henchman Alitan, his hand touched his chest, bent over and called "Nuo".

This team of 10,000 people, and their war horses, made the still cold and windy grassland impetuous, full of stirring murderous opportunities.

Gaoliu City, Red Cloud Inn.

Feng Luotang and a few people were in the courtyard of the inn, looking up at the sky with their hands in their hands.

The nights outside the plug in early spring are quite cold. The first quarter moon in the sky, hazy and hazy, has a faint halo that shrouds the moon.

"It's probably going to be windy." Feng Luotang pointed to the moon and said, "Look at that wind circle." ”

"Hmm." Shao Yi said: "The temperature suddenly dropped today. If you don't get it, there will be sandstorms. ”

"It's already here." Lin Yu said: "You smell, there is a smell of dust in the air. ”

As he was talking, he saw two black shadows, one after the other, climbing over the wall and entering the courtyard. It is the mantis and bitter locusts that they are waiting for.

Long Xuanchen pulled the mantis and quickly retreated to their rented room, covering the doors and windows. Several people whispered.

Void Mantis said: "About more than 10,000 Huns have been assembled under Fan Yuzhi's arrangement. They're waiting for the right moment to strike. The camp is 200 miles away. ”

"Who's the manager?" Lin Yu asked him.

The bitter locust replied, "Nominally, the king of the scarlets." But that guy doesn't have any real skills. It was impossible for the Huns to listen to his orders. The one who really commanded these Huns was a henchman of the Hun head Mandanyu, whose name was Elitan. ”

"How's the armament?" Long Xuanchen asked.

"Almost all cavalry. Weapons, all sorts of them. The combat power should not be weak, all of them are strong and good hands. ”

"Is there any news of Temugawa?" Shao Yi remembered that the last intelligence of the mantis said that Tiemuchuan was captured by the Hun soldiers who mutinied.

"He has escaped from the Huns. I should have returned to the Great Snow Mountain. The mantis replied.

Fan Yu ...... It is impossible to prepare only this one attack. Lin Yu analyzed: "He has been doing his work for so long, how can he only rely on these 10,000 Huns." But I'm afraid, this is the first step he wants to start his whole plan. ”

"Then we can't let him get his way." Feng Luotang said.

Several people took a turn around Takayanagi Castle during the day. This small city had less than 10,000 inhabitants, but the defenders numbered only 2,000. If the Huns attacked Gaoliucheng, it was estimated that it would take less than a meal to break through the city and kill it.

The four of them glanced at each other. Lin Yu said: "Do you dare, let's welcome him out of five miles?" ”

Feng Luotang said excitedly: "Brother Yu, why don't you dare? The young master and the black brother are here, I'm not afraid anyway. ”

Lin Yu turned his head and said to the Void Mantis and the Bitter Locust, "You two have worked hard for days. There will be a war later. While these two days are calm, let you leave quickly. There were four of us fast horses at the door of the inn. You can also change rides on the road with two horses. Go back to your hometown as soon as possible. ”

The faces of the mantis and the bitter locusts were full of shock. They didn't expect that Feng Luotang and the others would propose to let them go at this time. Although they know that in a really big battle, killers and spies are useless.

They didn't speak for a long time. Long Xuanchen patted the mantis on the shoulder and said, "Two brothers, let's go quickly." There are endless battles in this world. If you can really steal a few days to live a normal life, go there quickly. We'll see you later. ”

The two didn't know what to say, so they knelt on the ground and kowtowed to everyone. They glanced at each other and muttered what they wanted to say more. Feng Luotang said loudly: "Let's go." The green mountains do not change, the green water flows forever, let's say goodbye. ”

After Shao Yi and the others turned around and left, they said to Feng Luotang: "It's okay, it's okay." You're slippery enough. When did you practice? Don't use it on our own people in the future. ”

Feng Luotang smirked and said, "That's nature, nature." ”

In the second half of the night, several people meditated and practiced, and when it was almost dawn, they went to meet Master Ge Teng and Master Lu Ming together.

"Please master in this Gaoliu City, waiting for our news." Lin Yu said on behalf of everyone.

The two masters didn't say much, waved their hands lightly and said, "Go ahead." ”

When the four teenagers walked away towards the city gate, Master Lu Ming said softly, "The chance of the first battle." I don't know if they can grasp it, or if they can't grasp it? ”

Warrior Geten also said, "Look at their creation. ”

The two masters were really big-hearted, and after saying these two sentences, they returned to the inn to have breakfast.

In the early morning, a strong wind blew.

The sky in the north was filled with smoke. The smell of sand and dust filled the air. If you walk in the wind, you will feel fine sand and dust when you open your mouth, and it will be very toothy.

The sun in the sky, because of this big sandstorm, turned white, and it was even more boundless, and the sky was yellow.

The wind blew down from the northern plateau, shaking the trees that had not yet sprouted.

The four teenagers went out of the city gate against the strong wind, and their steps were steady and solid, and they quickly traveled north to five miles away from Gaoliu City before standing still in the wind.

Feng Luotang's mink robe was blown in the wind. The long fox fur hat barely covered the hair.

In this piece of howling wind and raging sand and dust, the four teenagers stood quietly on the grassland where they could not see the sky, looking at the smoke and dust rising from the restless north, silently waiting for the battle of the four against ten thousand.

Fan Yuzhi had already received news from the south last night. The spies of Yangdu Pavilion informed the Qin army's marching route and the results that had been achieved.

These two days should be the time when Qin and Zhao are tug-of-war, if the advance is fast, Yang Duanhe's southern road Qin army should soon reach the south side of Handan; And the Qin army on the northern route should be resisted by the Zhao state.

These resistances would contain the vast majority of Zhao's mobile forces. The border has been withdrawn, and many Zhao troops have gone south to resist Qin.

Fan Yuzhi raised his eyes to look at the dusty skyline in the north. In the twilight, a sandstorm raised by a strong wind obscured the boundary between heaven and earth.

He smiled with satisfaction. Then he patted the scarlet king next to him and said, "It's time." Good day and auspicious day. Let's enjoy the joy of hunting in the south, let us warriors of the steppe. ”

The Ragged King had been waiting for this sentence for the past two days, and he couldn't help but be excited, and shouted loudly: "General Elitan, please gather the team immediately and prepare to go!" Take the border Takayanagi Castle first, and break through the Great Wall from this weakest point. Let's blow the south wind well. ”

After saying that, he turned over a batch of dwarf Hun horses himself. Fan Yuqi rode a tall Saibei horse. This good horse was given to him by King Donghu.

The nearly 10,000 Hun warriors gathered in the camp have been idle here for two days, and they are holding back and have nowhere to go wild.

Hearing the command, they began their horses with a shout, drew their weapons, and brought enough horses and dry rations for war, and swooped down with the strong wind.
