The frost is nine feet like a crystal, and the armor and iron horses fall into the clouds and rain.

In the northern frontier, in the wind and frost flying in the sky, the horn of the Ye Dynasty sounded one after another, and millions of soldiers wrapped in heavy cotton clothes struggled to cross the snow that touched their knees.

In such a situation, the war horse could no longer be used normally, and Lu Jue led the march to Humen Pass.

"Major General, the grain and grass in Hangu Pass have arrived, but the current weather can't be transported to the front line at all!"

In the roar of the cold wind, Xiao Han withstood the raging wind and ice, walked to Lu Jue's side with difficulty, and shouted.

Lu Jue's hanging heart finally let go after hearing this.

Humen Pass is located in the northeast of the Ye Dynasty, which is a necessary place between the Changwu Wang's domain and the Tidi people, and is also one of the eleven cities in the northern Xinjiang that fell.

After repeatedly confirming the accuracy of the intelligence, Lu Jue made up his mind and led the 300,000 troops of the forward battalion to raid outside Humen Pass, the closest to Hangu Pass, overnight.

With an army of 300,000 people, even in the windy and snowy weather, the Tidi warriors on the tower of Humen Pass also saw a long snake shining with iron silver light, winding from the southwest.

After some hardships, the army finally began to be stationed not far from Humen Pass.

After a long run during the day, the forward battalion of the Northern Expeditionary Army finally had time to rest, and the soldiers, as well as some of the people who accompanied the army, also began to camp in the fierce storm and snow.

"Now on the entire back side of Humen Pass, the last general has cut off the back road of the Shence camp under his command."

In the commander's tent, Lu Jue and several generals looked at the map near Humen Pass in front of them, and Xiao Han on the side pointed to the north of Humen Pass and took the lead in speaking.

Lu Jue nodded, and then looked at Zheng Tianlan, who had just entered the tent, obviously coming back at this time, it seemed that what he had arranged for Zheng Tianlan to do had been completed.

Zheng Tianlan got into the tent with a smile, and then slapped the snowflakes on her body while looking at the generals around her, and said with a smile on her accusation.

"General Lu, I'm back, it's really the same as you think, after the Humen Pass was approaching evening, I really ran into three refugees who had just escaped from the city."

It turned out that after Lu Jue led the army to a short distance outside Humen Pass, he stopped the army and ordered the whole army to be repaired, and at the same time asked Zheng Tianlan, who was with the army, to go to Humen Pass quickly.

Although it is said that it is difficult for the war horse to move forward in the heavy snow, after the horse ridden by Zheng Tianlan has been treated by Xiao Han, the horse's paw has already been improved by simple snow treading, although it is not as good as the walking like flying snow without a trace in the Shence Camp, but it is far faster than walking.

The Shence Camp was originally trained in the northern frontier and came out of the iron cavalry, and naturally had its own solution to this kind of weather and situation.

As Lu Jue guessed, after the forward battalion of the Northern Expeditionary Army arrived at Humen Pass, the refugees in the city had the idea of escaping.

It's just that the Tidi clan is too ferocious, and it is obviously unrealistic to want to look at the coat, and Lu Jue and the others are not clear about the current situation in the city, so they can only gamble.

And this time it was obvious that Lu Jue was right, and sure enough, someone went out of the city.

In such weather, if no one responds outside the city, even if someone really escapes, they will not be able to run far in such cruel weather and will freeze to death.

The three refugees who were found by Zheng Tianlan were very lucky, it was Lu Jue's gambling that saved the lives of the three people.

And the reason why Zheng Tianlan delayed coming back for so long was precisely because he asked about the situation in the city from the mouths of those people.

According to Lu Jue's plan, if he hadn't received someone, Zheng Tianlan should have returned to the barracks long ago.

After all, the weather in northern Xinjiang, after the sun really goes down completely, the temperature here is enough to really turn water into ice.

"What's going on in the city now?"

Lu Jue looked at Zheng Tianlan and asked.

"According to the descriptions of those three people, it seems that something big happened to the Tidi tribe during this time, and the Anu Guha of the tribe died, so the army began to retreat, leaving only a few men to guard the city."

"Anu Guha?"

Lu Jue and Xiao Han looked at each other, although they didn't know what it meant, but they understood that it was Tidi.

Seeing that Lu Jue and the others were very confused, Zheng Tianlan also scratched her head a little embarrassed, and then explained with a smile.

"The three people who escaped are all traders who have been doing some trading with the Tidi people all year round, and they could still talk well, but after the Tidi invasion, these people seem to have been frightened by something, and when they speak, sometimes in our language, sometimes in the words of the Tidi tribe."

When Lu Jue heard Zheng Tianlan say this, he nodded in agreement.

During this time, they also encountered some refugees who escaped from the city by luck, and these refugees were all tortured extremely miserably.

And these refugees also said that they are lucky people, because they are some people who have dealings with the Tidi caravan, so they are not imprisoned in the cage, although they will be bullied by the Tidi people in the city on weekdays, but their freedom is not restricted, so they can have a chance to escape.

Xiao Han muttered a few times to Anu Guha, and then frowned, and spoke to Lu Jue in a somewhat uncertain tone.

"According to my previous memory, the word Anu Guha is relatively common, probably referring to honorifics, or honorifics of higher status."

Lu Jue heard Xiao Han's explanation, and then thought of what the three refugees said, the people of the Tidi tribe began to retreat one after another, and had a guess in their hearts, and said to the few people present.

"What happened to the royal family of the Fatiti clan? Competing for the throne between princes? ”

As Lu Jue's guess spoke, several people around looked at Lu Jue with strange eyes, as if they were looking at a monster.

"What's wrong? Is it impossible? I heard that the king of the Tidi clan has always had two princes, a princess, the whereabouts of the princess in her early years are unknown, and the remaining two princes should be not small, isn't this situation also possible? ”

Xiao Han couldn't help but pull Lu Jue aside, held back a smile, and forcibly opened his mouth to explain to Lu Jue.

"Young General, you may not know that the two sons of Tiref, the king of the Tidi tribe, have long since left only one."

Lu Jue looked incredulous, looking at Xiao Han curiously, obviously not knowing why there was only one prince left in the Tidi clan.

"Why? Is there something I don't know? ”

Xiao Han shook his head helplessly, and after thinking for a while, he glanced at the people who were smiling on the side, and then he told the truth.

"This matter is also related to you, the Major General."
