Jun Sima. ”

Wei Qing suddenly shouted at Gongsun Ao on the side.

Gongsun Ao made a gesture on his horse and shouted in the same way.

"The end will be."

Wei Qing took out a silk silk from his arms, handed it to Gongsun Ao, and said at the same time.

"Take this handwritten letter from Your Majesty, go to the county seat of Mayi, and fetch the five thousand sheep.

Bring thousands of people, remember not to let the people of Mayi City see through their identities.

Changshi and I led a large army to the border between Pingyi City in Daijun County and Pingcheng in Yanmen County, where we will camp and wait for you. ”

When Gongsun heard Wei Qing say this, his face showed hesitation.

"But Your Majesty strictly ordered us to stay in the north of the county town of Mayi and pretend to be a shepherd."

Wei Qing's face turned cold and said indifferently.

"There is no danger in this March, but let the more than 1,000 people graze in the mayi first, and then I will send a song of soldiers to protect their safety.

It rotates every half a month, and when it is the last half month, the 3,000-strong army will go to the designated position.

You don't want to think about how the daily training should be carried out when the army has been grazing for three months?

The military camp was set up between Dai County and Yanmen County, which could avoid people's eyes and ears, so that the whole army could conduct training. ”

After listening to Wei Qing's explanation, Gongsun Ao made a promise, and left with the soldiers and more than 1,000 ordinary people.

But he didn't know that he had planted a thorn in Wei Qing's heart.

They have all set out for the campaign, and the main general will do whatever he says, even if he has an opinion, he cannot question it in front of the whole army.

"General, let's go."

Zhang Yuan saw that Gongsun Ao had already led people away, so he said loudly.

Wei Qing nodded, waved his horsewhip and slowly walked in the other direction.

Daijun Pingyi City is close to the water, and the source is not from the north, so you can rest assured that those Huns. It is not possible to live without water in the place where the army is stationed.

The Huns often threw cattle, sheep or human corpses into the river, causing the water quality to change, and people were prone to epidemic disease after drinking this river water.

When you come to such a place, you have to be even more wary of these risks that may come from subtle sources.

"General, Pingcheng is just after Baishan Mountain, and the Huns will definitely come here every year to show off their might.

What is the purpose of setting up camp here? ”

Zhang Yuan also looked at the map carefully, only to find that the place where Wei Qing chose to be stationed was not far from Baishan Mountain.

Wei Qing looked at Zhang Yuan and explained.

"It's not that the Huns won't go south in winter, but those Xiongnu tribes who lack food and clothing will still go south to plunder.

Because Baishan Mountain is the place where Emperor Gaozu was humiliated, it is rare for Han people to come here.

Because there was no official war against the Xiongnu, even sergeants and soldiers were rare here.

Therefore, at this time, the Huns will not come here when they go south, which means that no matter which side they will not come to this place in these three months. ”

Knowing Wei Qing's intentions, Zhang Yuan didn't continue to ask.

He refocused his efforts on the rudimentary parchment map.

This March will have to be redrawn in order to make a detailed map so that his plan can be carried out smoothly at the beginning of spring.

It took two days before the army entered Wei Qing's established position and set up camp.

A large amount of supplies greatly slowed down the marching speed of the army, but at the moment there was no combat mission, and Wei Qing did not have any dissatisfaction with this.

The place Wei Qing chose was a forest, a forest full of cow, sheep and human bones.

The leaves on these trees have fallen due to the cold weather, but the forest covers a large area.

This should be a rare forest in the Northland, and Wei Qing really thought about choosing this place.

"Let's go deeper, cut down trees in the middle of the forest, and set up camp.

Li Jian, you take the people of the first song and scatter along the area of the camp to find out if there are any wild beasts here, and if there are, kill them all.

Today, you will be the sentinel of the first song. ”

Li Jian immediately came out and hugged his fists to promise.

More than two months of military life have completely deprived Li Jianjian of his literati temperament, and now he is a qualified officer.

After Li Jian left with the first five hundred men, the remaining two thousand men continued to walk forward together, until they entered the deepest part of the forest, and then began to stop to cut down trees and build a camp.

Zhang Yuanting is glad that there are no planes or satellites in this era, otherwise there would be no unobstructed view of the sky, and there would be no secrecy at all.

"General, the two of us will ride north and continue to explore?"

Seeing that Wei Qing was fine, Zhang Yuan leaned up and asked him.

"Bring more people?"

Wei Qing looked very cautious.

"If you don't bring it, if there are more people, the target will be bigger, and we are not going to fight with the Huns, two people are enough."

Zhang Yuan didn't want to bring so many people, even if the two of them left, even if they encountered a large number of Huns, they could quickly get out.

As far as the eye can see, it must be longer than the Huns' bows and arrows.

"Okay, you wait for me."

"Okay."

I saw Wei Qing running to Xue Ren, muttering that he didn't know what to say, and then ran over.

Zhang Yuan didn't ask much, he must have explained some things about the camp, after all, the two people in charge were gone, and in order to avoid panic in the army, he still had to explain it.

"Let's go, it's still early, let's get back before it gets dark."

The two led their horses and galloped directly to the north, and along the way they also met some soldiers of the first song.

After waiting out of the forest, Wei Qing asked Zhang Yuan.

"Brother Yuan, where are you taking me?"

Zhang Yuan said with a laugh.

"Haven't you always wanted to know what my plan is, I'll take you to see it today."

On the parchment map, north of Mount Baishan, there were only two markings left except for one Great Wall.

That is the location of the Xiongnu Dragon City and the location of the Xiongnu Wangting Wolf Juxu Mountain.

The two places that the princess of Dahan and her relatives must pass through, and the rest of the places are grasslands, and there is nothing to mark.

As for the distribution of the power of the Huns, the Han only knew about the Hetao area, because the Huns there had always been fixed and did not leave.

The Huns in the rest of the country, you marked their location today, and tomorrow they may go to other places to graze.

This time, Zhang Yuan's goal was to find out how long it would take to travel all the way from the camp to Dragon City.

The mark on the map of Dragon City is the boundary of nearly 1,000 miles due north of Daigun.

If it was really this distance, he would definitely not be able to return to the camp within a day, but Zhang Yuan still wanted to give it a try.

"Okay, the younger brother will go deep into the hinterland of the Huns with the distant brother to see if the Huns are really invincible."

The two men and two horses gradually disappeared into the depths of the grassland.
