2 Dangerous stratagems
The scout horse is a very good horse, it is like a good breed pigeon, as long as it is alive it will be able to return the way it came. It's a good thing that it's coming back alive now, but it's a bad thing that the soldiers on horseback don't come back.
The eldest prince Murong Shang quickly rode his horse and rushed forward, shaking off the dust of Ouyang Xian, who had been chattering behind his horse.
"Great Prince, what are you doing here? Before I finished speaking, how can you say that you will turn your face and raise me in dust? As soon as Ouyang Xian's words blurted out, Murong Shang's figure had already rushed to the front of Tanma, and he quickly grabbed the reins of Tanma, and carefully checked the blood stains on Tanma's saddle.
Not only was there blood on the saddle, but the buttocks of the probe horse were even more bloody, and a large piece of flesh was missing from the deep wound. What kind of weapon could such a wound be inflicted? Ouyang Shang frowned, and kept looking at the probe horse in front of him.
The army had stopped advancing, and when the experienced commander Ouyang Tian saw such a situation, he immediately waved his hand to signal the army to stop and gave the order to go down and set up a defensive formation.
"Great Prince, what do you think is going on? Could it be that there is an enemy in front of us? Ouyang Xian also quickly rode his horse over, "What kind of weapon was used to cut this horse's buttocks?" Judging by the severity of the injury, it can be judged that the weight of the weapon is definitely not light. ”
"It's not caused by some weapon, and it can be said that it's not caused by people." Murong Shang said as he tightened the reins of the probe horse and pulled back into the army, leaving Ouyang Xian with doubts in his head.
"Wounds not caused by people? If it's not a human being, can it still be a demon? At this time, the sunset was about to pass, and the darkness gradually filled the entire ancient road, Ouyang Xian was said by the eldest prince Murong Shang, and suddenly felt a cold air spread all over his body, is this really a prelude to living to hell?
"This wound is in disarray, it seems that it must have been attacked by a pack of wolves, and it seems that marching at night is no longer the best strategy for us, and it seems that we must set up camp tonight, and wait until tomorrow morning to make plans." Murong Shang led the horse to the front of the horse of the coach Ouyang Tian and the military advisor Xue Laodao, and said in an affirmative tone.
Ouyang Tian and Xue Laodao didn't say a word, but the expressions on their faces couldn't help but be the same, the position of their army was still within the scope of the enemy country, and if they didn't evacuate as soon as possible, they would definitely change! Originally, they planned to march quickly at night under the cover of night, but according to the current situation, the rapid march at night was to send themselves into the wolf's den, because the wolves were best at attacking at night.
"What are the wolf dogs afraid of them? We will burn fires all around us, and the wolves are most afraid of fire. As long as there is a fire, why are we afraid of them? What's more, the big knife in my hand is not vegetarian, as long as they dare to come, I will definitely give the brothers in the army a wolf meat feast to eat. Ouyang Xian didn't know when he also came closer, probably he had already heard everyone's conversation clearly just now, and he couldn't wait to say in order to show off what little knowledge he had.
He had just finished saying this, and he didn't want to find something very strange behind the butt of the pony, an arrow made of bone.
Will wolves know how to shoot arrows? How can a wolf know how to shoot an arrow, only a person knows how to shoot an arrow.
Ouyang Xian jumped off the horse with agility, walked behind the butt of the probe horse, and pulled out the arrow made of bones with his hand.
"The eldest prince, do you think this is a bone arrow for the Huns?" Ouyang Xian said with a frown.
Murong Shang didn't make a sound, but after seeing this bone arrow, he immediately understood one thing in his heart, that is, the appearance of the arrow seemed to add another layer of misfortune to their misfortune.
It seems that there are not only wolves waiting for them in front of them, but also the main army of the Xiongnu.
"It seems that the scout horse we sent out in front should have encountered the main force of the enemy first, and was wounded by an arrow and then provoked the attack of the wolves because of the bloody breath, but fortunately, it finally ran back and reported to us." Xue Junshi's tone was a little deep, and his heart was a little deeper.
As soon as Xue Junshi's words fell, there were several wolf howls in front of the desolate ancient road that made people tremble when they heard it. The wolf's roar not only frightened the people, but even the good horses under their crotch were now disturbed and restless, and began to sway their heads and trample the horses' hooves, as if they were trying to flee in all directions.
"Let's hurry up and make a fire, with a fire, the wolves will not dare to attack, and we will have nothing to worry about." Although Ouyang Xian's mouth was full of indifference, he heard that the wolf's voice seemed to come from all directions of his heart, and his heart had already begun to panic.
"I'm not worried as you said, it's true that the wolves are afraid of fire, but people don't seem to be afraid, and it can be said that in the darkness people yearn for fire the most. We are now lighting a fire to inform the enemy army of our position, and when the time comes, I am afraid that it will not only be wolves who will greet us, but the main forces of the enemy country will also rush over to greet us together. If there is really a fight, it is okay to carry out a surprise attack with our current troops, but if it really starts to fight, I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out. Xue Junshi rode sideways on horseback, the content of what he said was only Ouyang Xian that he didn't think of, his expression when he spoke was affirmative, and his meaning was also correct. If you use this army of less than 10,000 people to fight against Da Danyu's 100,000 cavalry, I am afraid that what kind of death you will think about the most.
"So what should we do now? You can't both die and feed the wolves! The expression on Ouyang Xian's face had changed, how could he not panic in his heart when the three people in front of him had no idea?
"There is a way, but I'm afraid that if we do this, I'm afraid that some of us will be in a little bit of danger." Xue Junshi tilted his head and stroked the few beards on his chin with his right hand, looking at the eldest prince Murong Shang and Ouyang Xian with a smile on the corner of his mouth. His eyes kept scanning back and forth between the two men.
"What's the way, Xue Laodao, what the hell are you talking about!" Ouyang Xian walked to Xue Junshi's horse and asked impatiently. Xue Junshi was silent, what did he seem to be waiting for? He was waiting for someone's words, because he knew that one person would definitely think of the idea.
"We are now divided into two routes, give me a small number of cavalry, give me the splendid carriage, and take all the captives of nobility among the captives, as long as you leave me the princess's maids, I can use these maids and the carriage to cover people's eyes, so that I can attract the enemy's main army and the attack of the wolves, and when I attract the enemy's main army, you can get out and follow the path behind the sand dunes and return to our border fortress first." The eldest prince, Murong Shang, let out a long sigh, and then said lightly the words that Xue Junshi wanted to wait.
The eldest prince Murong Shang is a smart person, but a smart person has now made a very stupid decision, and this decision may be a decision of life and death.
Murong Shang felt that it was better for him to say these words by himself, he seemed to understand Xue Junshi's eyes, the method that Xue Junshi wanted to say was this method, and this method seemed to be not just what Xue Junshi meant.
"How can this be done by the eldest prince? It's better to let me take care of such a risky thing as attracting the main force of the enemy country! "Is this the polite words that Coach Ouyang said? The tone sounds so awkward.
"Coach Ouyang, how can this work? If the army goes out to fight, the commander will definitely bury the spirit of this army, this matter is a little dangerous, but with the good horse under my crotch to get out of danger safely, there is still a great certainty. Murong Shang's tone of voice was very relaxed, could it be that this thing to attract the main force of the enemy country was really easy to do?
The current situation of the great enemy must be decided quickly, and the best decision now can only be arranged in this way, but such an arrangement is by no means a little dangerous as Xue Junshi said, I am afraid that it will be a life-or-death adventure.
"The eldest prince, I am willing to accompany you to birth and death." Ouyang Xianyue said affirmatively.
"Xian'er, what are you messing around? Having you there will only cause chaos and trouble for the eldest prince. As the head coach, Ouyang Tian suddenly said with a serious expression at this moment.
"If the eldest prince can attract the main force of the enemy country, by this time tomorrow, I am afraid that we will be able to reach the border fortress smoothly, and when the time comes, you must find a way to get out, and if necessary, you can kill all those princesses and maids and then get out easily. When the time comes, the ministers will send an elite cavalry back to meet the prince. Coach Ouyang Tian seemed to have agreed to this arrangement, but the last words of coming back to answer Murong Shang made people sound very awkward.
The army was naturally separated, although the elite of the cavalry was left for the eldest prince Murong Shang, but the number was really small, and it seemed that there were not even two hundred people. Someone pulled the princess of the Xiongnu out of the carriage, sealed her mouth with a cloth and tied it to the horse, which is the cornerstone of promotion and wealth, but you have to protect and serve carefully. Among the captured captives seemed to be a prince of the Huns, who was treated somewhat rudely, and was put into a burlap bag for carrying grain and grass.
"Great Prince, let's go to the left side of the dune, you can start lighting the fire now! Remember, you must find a way to hold back the enemy's main forces until this time tomorrow. Coach Ouyang Tian was very respectful and gave the eldest prince Murong Shang a military salute.
It's useless to do a respectful military salute, how much extraneous meaning is hidden behind this politeness that seems to be parting with life and death? Who can say exactly what this means?
There are countless fires lit on the ancient road, and looking at the number of fires, you will never think that this will only be a fire lit by about 200 people, this should be a fire lit by thousands of people.
Ouyang Xian didn't follow behind his father Ouyang Tian, he seemed to be still sulking, he walked at the back of the stealth army. Xue Junshi and Coach Ouyang Tian were neck and neck, there was no one around the two of them, and the two of them seemed to deliberately stay away from the sneaking team, because they seemed to really need time to exchange some words quickly.
"You're a good idea, but it's too early to do it."
"Sooner or later, it's always a scourge to keep him, don't forget our ultimate intention of using troops this time, it's better to get rid of our eldest prince as soon as possible."
"This kid is a talented man by nature, and if it weren't for that connection, I would have really wanted to keep him."
"Why are you keeping him? Keep him on the throne in the future, and after knowing the truth, will we be all over the house? I don't want to take this big risk if you want to keep him, don't forget why my sister married you back then. This was said by Xue Junshi.
This Xue Junshi turned out to be the eldest brother of coach Ouyang Shang. There are not many people who know about this relationship, because this relationship has a fatal weakness.
"How sure are you that you can get rid of him this time?"
Xue Junshi didn't answer immediately, he was counting the fingers on his right hand.
"Forty percent!" Xue Junshi's right hand stretched out four fingers and shook it.
"So little?"
"Humph! This is the dignified prince, do you think he is a farmer and grass man in the countryside? If I'm 100% sure now, when you return to Jingshi, do you immediately think about how to do it? ”
Ouyang Tian didn't make a sound, his silence was a default answer.
What do they mean by these words? And what position is this eldest prince Murong Shang in?
One dark night many years ago, at that time, the prince Murong Shang was still a two-year-old child who only knew how to cry and cry. That night his father was fighting the enemy in front of him, and he and his mother stayed behind. In a gorgeously dressed marching tent far from the rear of the bloody battlefield, there were two pregnant women who were about to give birth screaming in pain, one of the two women was the empress of the Great Wei Kingdom, and the other was the wife of Ouyang Tian, the chief general of the army, who was the same sister as the empress.
They finally won the tragic war, and when the two of them returned victorious, Xue Laodao stepped forward to report the good news like this, "The emperor is happy with the prince again, the boss gets a thousand gold, and the mother, son, mother and daughter are safe and sound, but the queen is faint due to overwork, and the imperial doctor has diagnosed that there is no major incident." ”
On this day, Murong Shang's second brother Murong Kun came to this world, and on the same day, in the same marching tent, there was also Ouyang Lian, the eldest daughter of the coach Ouyang Shang.
What does it mean for two people to be born in the same tent at a short time apart? Perhaps the birth of these two people was very unexpected, affecting the two-year-old child Murong Shang.
Half a month later, the mother-in-law who delivered the baby for the queen accidentally fell into the lake and drowned, and the imperial doctor who diagnosed the queen was only defined as despising the imperial authority and was suspended and exiled to the frontier just because he swallowed his saliva when prescribing medicine.
It's ironic that the Imperial Doctor has been loyal for decades and finally lost to his own spit. The doctor's surname is Geng, he is too upright, maybe he is ruined by his surname!
Creation is unintentional, and falling flowers are ruthless. The relationship between people also becomes suddenly ruthless and unintentionally unintentionally.
In fact, to get rid of the eldest prince Murong Shang Ouyang Tian himself also made a preparation, a preparation that he didn't think was a preparation, because this preparation was a bit funny for the group of people he arranged, at least in the eyes of those clerks, what he had to do sounded a little ridiculous.
He asked people to pretend to be beggars and spent a lot of money to go to Yunxian Villa, he wanted to ask Sun Xianzhong, the owner of Yunxian Villa, to help him go to Miaojiang Wuzhai, it is rumored that as long as the witch king of Miaojiang Wuzhai takes over a person's life and death, then this person will be cursed by Miaojiang Wuzhai and will definitely not live for half a year.
It is rumored in the world that the people of Miaojiang Wuzhai are actually a group of people who pretend to be gods, think about it, what is the probability that he can be reliable if he finds a group of such people to do things?
Suddenly there was a wind on the desert, and a strong wind blew without any warning, perhaps it is the most normal thing to have the wind at night on this desert, but it is not normal to have no wind.
There are too many people who want the life of the great prince of the Great Wei Kingdom.
