If the dog gets the benefit, he should hide it, not take it to Koji.

When it was brought to Kou Ji, Kou Ji naturally had to confiscate it.

Kou Ji returned to the tent, changed into armor, and got out of the tent, and Liu Heng ordered someone to collect the Chinese army's big tent.

The group was divided into two groups again and embarked on the journey.

The direction of progress is still the same.

It's just that there are fewer Qingtang soldiers and horses to accompany them, and there are thousands of more horses.

The soldiers who supported the Japanese army took off their heavy armor and replaced them with leather armor, turning into ordinary rangers.

The number of horses pulled has changed from one to three.

The speed of the grain cart has become much faster.

Many of the men freed their hands, or rode horses, or sat on the wheels of the wagons, saving their legs.

When the group arrived at the gate of Danshan City.

The four thousand soldiers in Danshan City have long been ready for battle.

Seeing that the other party was not a simple role, the Japanese soldiers wanted to stand in front of them in case of accidents, but they were rejected by Kou Ji.

After a pleasantry of performances for others to see.

The 4,000 soldiers in Danshan City successfully joined the team of escorting grain and grass.

The soldiers in Danshan City carried a lot of things.

There were tens of thousands of horses and thousands of carts.

Not many people know what was in the car.

The team escorting the grain carts has not been reduced because of the departure of Qingtang soldiers and horses, but has become much longer.

Kou Ji led the group past the empty Danshan City, rode up to a low hill behind Danshan City, stood on the low hill, looked at the far southeast, and muttered faintly.

"The war of Qingtang's invasion of Huangtou Huifu should have begun...... I hope that Huangtou Hui Khan can get the news as soon as possible and lead the army back to help. ”

"I don't want to bump into them in the territory of Huangtou Hui, otherwise there will inevitably be a fierce battle."

“……”

After Kou Ji muttered a few words, he went down the low hill, and the group walked quickly along the wide road at the bottom of the Daxue Mountain (Qilian Mountain).

You don't have to look for directions, and you don't have to look for a guide who knows the way.

The Great Snow Mountains are the best guiding light.

Daxue Mountain is a mountain range that runs from east to west, and the west end of the mountain is the junction of the Huangtou Uighurs and the Shazhou Uighurs.

Kou Ji and his entourage only need to walk to the end of the mountain to reach Shazhou, which is heavily besieged.

Out of Danshan City, it took two days.

encountered some small groups of soldiers and horses in the territory of the Yellow Head Hui to tempt.

There was no need for the patrol guards to take action, and the Rangers, who had been fully equipped with the Japanese soldiers, took care of them.

Because the other party was a yellow-headed Hui soldier, he would not carry gold and silver accessories, as well as property, so the Japanese soldiers attacked several times, but there were no major gains.

There were hundreds more horses.

It is worth mentioning.

After Kou Ji's opening, Zhang Yuan has changed a lot.

In the past, Zhang Yuan had a gloomy face everywhere he went, and he seemed to be calculating others anytime and anywhere.

Today's Zhang Yuan has a smile on his face.

In the past, Zhang Yuan would not eat, drink, and play with the guards of the patrol horses.

Today's Zhang Yuan, when he has nothing to do, likes to gather among the guards and soldiers of the patrol horses, and accompany them to eat, drink and play.

Although the Horse Patrol Guards still don't want to see him, he still likes to get around the Horse Patrol Guards.

On the third day.

Passing by a yellow-headed return to the city.

encountered a sneak attack by a yellow-headed Hui soldier with thousands of people.

Liu Heng, Gao Yi, and Zhang Yuan led the army to attack and exterminated them.

The soldiers and horses that sneak up on the city should be the elite of the city owner in the city.

So it caused a lot of harm to Kou Ji and his party.

Among the Japanese soldiers, dozens of people died.

Ten of the guards were killed.

That is, from this day.

Zhang Yuan no longer gathered among the patrol guards, but led a patrol team of more than 100 people, broke away from the large army, and began to wander around the large army.

It also starts from this day.

Kou Ji's party began to grow again.

I don't know what means Zhang Yuan used.

Every time I go out with more than a hundred people, I come back with hundreds of people.

Kou Ji did not ask what the identities of the people who came back led by Zhang Yuan were, nor did he ask what benefits Zhang Yuan promised to give to those people.

From the outfits of those people, Kou Ji could easily tell that those were horse thieves wandering in the territory of the Yellow Head Hui.

What Zhang Yuan could promise them was nothing more than money and wealth.

As Zhang Yuan recruited more than 1,000 horse thieves, wandering around, it was rumored that the task of a small group of yellow-headed soldiers and horses to sneak attack also fell on the horse thieves.

The horse thieves seemed to be very convinced of Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan fooled them into selling their lives, and they were not ambiguous at all.

Day 8.

When they reached the middle of the northern border of Huangtouhui, Kou Ji and his party were raided by a cavalry force of tens of thousands of people.

When the horse thieves resisted the yellow-headed Hui soldiers and horses, more than 600 people died, but they still did not flinch, and they always charged at the forefront when they charged.

Kou Ji mobilized the patrol horse guards, mobilized the hundred tigers to run together, and cooperated with the horse thieves to defeat the enemy.

While the horse thieves were cheering and shouting, Kou Ji probably guessed what Zhang Yuan had promised the horse thieves.

If only these horse thieves survived in the end.

In the territory of the Huangtou Hui governed by the Danshan Ministry, there must be a place for them.

Zhang Yuanxu gave the horse thieves the future and the future.

It's a place where they can really settle down and put down roots.

Horse thieves have no permanent property, and naturally have no perseverance.

One hit misses, and it is thousands of miles away.

With constant production and perseverance, it is natural that you are not willing to go far away, and you are naturally willing to work hard.

No one is born a thief, the vast majority of people are forced.

The few who volunteered to be thieves were careerists, adventurers, and gamblers.

In the team of horse thieves led by Zhang Yuan, there was no such person.

Because when Zhang Yuan went to recruit horse thieves, he had already eradicated this kind of people.

On the fifteenth day.

The horse thieves under Zhang Yuan's hands broke through the number of four thousand.

Kou Ji and his entourage walked through most of the yellow heads and returned to the northern border.

Evening.

When Kou Ji was about to tell the soldiers and men to put away the pots and pans and hurry, Liu Heng and Zhang Yuan appeared in Kou Ji's tent with solemn expressions.

Liu Heng saw Kou Ji, and his first sentence made Kou Ji frown.

"Fourth brother, I'm afraid we won't be able to go tonight."

Kou Ji frowned and said, "Reason? ”

Liu Heng glanced at Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan said in a deep voice: "Fifty miles away, our people found the army of Huangtou Hui. ”

"Fifty miles?!"

Kou Ji frowned and said, "Our scouts have already been sent fifty miles away?" ”

Zhang Yuan nodded heavily.

Kou Ji asked, "Why are you sure that this is the army of the Yellow Head Hui Hui?" ”

Zhang Yuan said solemnly: "The number of the other party is more than 100,000, and our people found the royal tent of the Huangtou Hui Khan, as well as the golden wolf banner of the Huangtou Hui Khan. ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly, and said solemnly: "The Golden Wolf Banner is the identity symbol of the Yellow Head Hui Khan, and if there is a Golden Wolf Flag, then the Yellow Head Hui Khan must be there." ”

After a pause, Kou Ji continued: "It has been fifteen days since Qingtang attacked the territory of Huangtou Huifu. From the time the Huangtou Hui people transmitted the news to the Huangtou Hui Khan, to the Huangtou Hui Khan reacted and led the army to come to this place, the time was just right.

It's just that the yellow-headed Hui Khan, why didn't he lead his troops directly south, but chose to go east to arrive here? ”

Liu Heng muttered: "The Huangtou Hui Khan should not only have received the news that Qingtang had attacked the territory of the Huangtou Hui, but also received the news that we had entered the territory of the Huangtou Hui. ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, squinted his eyes slightly, and said, "Does he think that we are soft persimmons, pinch us, and then pinch Qingtang, it's not too late?" ”

Zhang Yuan arched his hand and said: "The villain thinks that the yellow-headed Hui Khan should think so." Our soldiers and horses are mixed together, barely more than 10,000 people, while Qingtang has 60,000 soldiers and horses.

They have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and they are the closest to us, so they will naturally attack us first. ”

Liu Heng stared at Kou Ji and asked, "Fourth brother, what should we do?" ”

Kou Ji pondered for a moment and ordered: "Liu Heng, you lead the soldiers who support the Japanese army, sit here, and let the people camp on the spot. Zhang Yuan, you take someone with me to see the golden wolf flag of the yellow-headed Hui Khan. ”

"Don't ......"

"Little master, it's better not to take risks......

Zhang Yuan and Liu Heng spoke out in unison.

Liu Heng said even louder: "Everything has us, and we are dead, so it is your turn to get in danger." ”

Seeing this, Kou Ji said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not going to trouble the Yellow Head Hui Khan." I just want to take a look and confirm the strength of the other side. ”

Liu Heng frowned and said, "That's not good, it's too dangerous." ”

Zhang Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "If the little young master wants to know the depth of the other party, the villain can send those horse thieves to try." ”

Kou Ji glanced at Zhang Yuan and said with a smile: "That's what you worked so hard to recruit to gain a foothold in Huangtou Huifu." If there are too many dead and wounded, what will you do in the future? ”

Zhang Yuan said solemnly: "The villain can recruit another batch of horse thieves." ”

Kou Ji shook his head, "Zhang Yuan, I see your loyalty." However, there is no need to test human life. ”

Kou Ji's eyes circled on Zhang Yuan and Liu Heng, and said, "I'm just looking at the soldiers and horses from afar, and I won't do anything, you two don't have to think too much, and you don't have to worry about my safety." ”

"Just looking at it from afar?"

Liu Heng asked in disbelief.

Kou Ji nodded earnestly.

Liu Heng proposed: "I'll accompany you and let Zhang Yuan stay in charge." ”

Kou Ji shook his head and said, "Zhang Yuan has always been an outsider to the outside world. He couldn't stop praising the Japanese soldiers and those people. ”

Liu Heng hesitated again and again, and said to Kou Ji: "Then you should be more careful." ”

Kou Ji nodded, and asked Liu Heng to go out and arrange for the Japanese soldiers, people's husbands, horse patrol guards, and horse thieves to set up camp.

He and Zhang Yuan quietly left the camp, took two hundred patrol horses and guards, and rode their horses fifty miles away.

The group rode fast horses and galloped all night.

When the moon was in the middle of the sky, they rushed forty miles away.

Forty miles away.

The group resolutely stopped their horses.

According to the news sent back by the scouts, the yellow-headed Hui Hui's probe horses were arranged about ten miles around.

If they rode their horses and galloped wildly, they would be easily discovered by the yellow-headed Tanma.

The group dismounted and walked.

The scouts who were guarding the place together met and walked to the camp where the Yellow Head Hui was stationed.

The scout took Kou Ji and his party around and around, bypassing the yellow-headed Hui Hui's exploration horses, and arrived at the place where the yellow-headed Hui was camped before dawn.

The soldiers and horses of the yellow-headed Hui were stationed next to a small stream flowing out of the Great Snow Mountain.

Under the moonlight.

White tents were connected together.

It's like putting a white coat on the earth.

The yellow-headed guards, armed with knives and armor, kept patrolling around the camp.

The piles of bonfires in the camp reflected half the sky.

Groups of Hui people, wrapped in turbans and sheepskins, gather in front of the campfire, or barbecue, or play soothing music, or wrestle.

There are not many people.

More people should rest in tents.

"That is the king's tent of the yellow-headed Hui Khannaye......"

Kou Ji and his party were lying in the withered grass halfway up the mountain, and the scout pointed to a tall tent in the camp and said to Kou Ji.

Kou Ji followed the scout's point and glanced at it.

The yellow head returned to the king's tent of the Khan Naye, which was very different.

I don't know if it's to show status, or to keep out the cold.

The king's tent was built on a high platform.

The platform is made of wood.

In the middle of the camp, it is very eye-catching.

Four braziers were lit around the platform, and the braziers burned with a raging flame that reflected the whole tent.

At the top of the tent, a flag was hoisted.

Flags flutter in the wind.

A wolf's head looms.

It is said that the golden wolf flag inherited by the yellow-headed Hui Khan is golden.

Unfortunately, it was still too dark for it to tell whether it was yellow or white.

Kou Ji stared at the king's tent and asked the leader of the horse patrol guard beside him in a low voice, "How many people are there?" ”

The leader of the patrol guard stared at the camp at the foot of the mountain and whispered, "Judging from the number of tents, there should be 140,000 people. Among them, there were about 100,000 cavalry, and the remaining 40,000 should be foot soldiers.

There is no shadow of any large ordnance in sight, there should be no large ordnance.

It is more than a star and a half worse than the soldiers and horses of the Liao State. ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly, and muttered, "If we fight against them, how sure are we?" ”

Zhang Yuan and the leader of the patrol guards glared in unison.

Seeing the two of them glaring at him, Kou Ji asked, "Something?" ”

The leader of the patrol guards said: "If we patrol the guards together, we are ten percent sure that we can fight a way out of them." But if you defeat them, you won't have it. ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly.

The patrol guard is strong, but it must have enough auxiliaries to cooperate.

Without auxiliaries to drive the enemy to one place, it would be difficult for the Patrol Guards to be effective.

The heavy cavalry is very strong, and the shortcomings are also very obvious.

Kou Ji looked at Zhang Yuan, who was staring at the yellow-headed Hui camp with burning eyes, and asked, "How sure do you think you are?" ”

Zhang Yuan licked his lips, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Sancheng!" ”

Kou Ji looked at Zhang Yuan in surprise.

The leader of the patrol guards is a fierce soldier who has fought on the battlefield for a long time, and even he feels that he is not sure.

Zhang Yuan actually dared to say that it was thirty percent.
