When Su Lu arrived at the foot of Hanshui City, it was noon.

The north wind is howling, the flag is fluttering, the white grass is flying, and the yellow sand is rolling.

In the Chinese military tent, Su Lu was accompanying General Li Qingju, talking about the actions he was going to take.

Lu Zhan suddenly came in and said: "Lord Wang, the military report from the front, the Rouran soldiers at the head of the city seem to have fled, and the four city gates of Hanshui, only the east gate is still guarded." ”

The generals in the tent were stunned for a moment at the same time, and Zheng Kai screamed.

"Impossible"

"Rouran is not a kitten or a puppy, how can she escape if she hasn't started fighting yet, it's impossible."

"Our army has not yet fought a head-on battle with the Rouran Blackfish King's tent soldiers, and it is impossible for the Rouran people to escape."

"It's hard to say, the famous general of the prince's world, the Rouran people know that the prince is coming, and they may really run away."

There was a lot of discussion in the Chinese military tent, and the generals each said their own opinions.

Li Qingyi said excitedly: "Zheng Kai, you lead the army to break the door and see if the Rouran people have escaped?" ”

"He Wu, you take some scouts and scatter around, see what clues there are around, whether the Rouran people have escaped, or set up an ambush."

"It's normal for the Rouran people to escape, I discussed it with the prince yesterday, Rouran is located in the west of the desert, the clan land and the barbarians are handed over, it is impossible not to deal with the barbarians, and now the barbarians have been defeated by our army and driven back to the clan land, and the Rouran people can't know any news at all."

"It is normal to be frightened by the fame of the prince and flee without a fight."

All the generals were out of the account, and Li Qing asked Su Lu and said:

"Now that Rouran suddenly has such a strategy, how should we deal with it?"

Su Lu pinched his chin and thought about it carefully: "I don't think they are really afraid of me, but they have other plans. ”

"The barbarians are fierce, the Rouran people and the barbarians can still hold on, and they naturally have the ability to hold on to each other, these grassland barbarians, if they don't eat a few defeats, how can they be convinced, I suspect they have other plans this time."

Li Qing nodded, "No matter what their plan is, since they have given up Hanshui City, then we will take Hanshui first." ”

"Isn't there still a guard at the east gate, I want to see how strong these soldiers he left behind."

Zheng Kai led the army to attack the city, but in half an hour, the south gate of Hanshui City was opened, and the army surrounded the eastern city and surrounded the Tule army who wanted to escape.

The vulture knew that he couldn't please him this time, so he resolutely refused to surrender, and was shot off his helmet by Zheng Kai with an arrow, and the rest of the people dismounted and surrendered, and the vulture who wanted to flee at the risk of death was directly knocked off the horse.

The vulture that was tied up with five flowers was escorted to the front of the army.

"Vulture process"

Su Lu looked at the vulture, his face was a little annoyed, he thought that this kid was a waste, and he wouldn't rebel if he fell, but he didn't expect that this kid had the support of the Rouran people, and he dared to fight against the Han army.

"Let him suffer a little first."

Su Lu commanded.

The vulture was immediately dragged out, and a ghost crying wolf howl immediately sounded outside the tent, and Lu Zhan took a few good guards to torture Lu Zhan, but it was only a moment's effort, and the vulture was full of feces and urine, collapsed, and confessed everything.

Two janissaries carried him and threw him like dead dogs in front of Su Lu.

"Say, why do you want to betray my Han Kingdom?"

Su Lu asked the vulture.

The vultures want to be tough, but thinking of the torture just now, if they dare to be tough again, I am afraid that they will still be beaten, and they will immediately lose their backbone.

"Lord Wang, the little ones don't want to rebel, they are all forced by those people."

"The small one is wronged...... Ah, no, the little ones are forced. ”

"Drag it out"

Su Lu said with a sneer, and wanted to fool Lao Tzu again.

The two janissaries pounced on them, dragging the vulture out like a dead dog, and a moment later the sound of ghosts crying wolves continued to sound outside the tent.

By the time the vulture was dragged in again, the whole person had collapsed.

"I recruited"

"I've Recruited Everything"

The vulture even leaked out of the corners of the eyes.

Su Lu asked, "Say, why did you betray?" ”

The vulture didn't dare to lie anymore, for fear that when Su Lu heard it, he would arrest him out and beat him violently.

"The Rouran soldiers are too strong, the West Royal Court was mostly destroyed, the four royal courts were collegiate in the Golden Horde Royal Court, and they were suddenly surrounded by the Rouran soldiers, I, I was afraid of death, so I strongly advocated surrender at that time."

"The Eastern Royal Court thought that the Tulle boy could not surrender repeatedly, and he lost the temperament of the warriors, and wanted to break out, but he was directly disabled by the Rouran soldiers, and even Hasule was killed, and the subordinates surrendered immediately."

"The Rouran people promise to still be my king, as long as they control the Eagle Yin, the Tule steppe will still be my vulture."

Su Lu nodded: "You are a spineless person, since you can descend for the first time, it is normal to descend a few more times." ”

"I heard that the siege of Tianqi City is also due to your vultures, when Xie Wan died, were you present?"

The vulture opened his mouth, thinking of the way Su Lu dragged himself out to fight when he didn't agree with Su Lu just now, and didn't dare to lie.

"Yes, the subordinate is here."

"General Xie refused to surrender, and after a fierce battle for a month, the city was broken and the soldiers died, and she was the only one left, and she cut the knife to the curl blade, but she still refused to surrender, and wanted to attack Hebriel, but was picked up by the king's tent soldiers under Hebriel's subordinates to fall under the city."

"This matter really has nothing to do with me, Lord Wang, I was held hostage at the time, I really don't want to go."

The vulture began to cry out, as if he were the victim.

Li Qing waved his hand, "Drag it out to fight"

The vulture was dragged out again, and after howling for a while, the ghost cried wolf and was dragged in again.

"Say, what do you want me to do with you?"

Li Qing asked Wu Gu Tu and said, killing one of his own generals, stirring up the unrest in the north, killing and injuring countless merchants, the tax of the Han Kingdom this year has been reduced by half compared with last year, looking at the current situation of the grassland, if you want to restore the pre-war situation, I am afraid it will not take a year, or more.

Thinking of taxes, Li Qing became angry.

"Pull it out and beat it again."

The vulture who hadn't opened his mouth was stunned, I didn't say anything this time, I just told a lie, and this time I didn't even say a word, why was I going to be pulled out and beaten.

"Report, lord, find traces of Rouran."

Lu Zhan came in and reported it.

"The scouts came out, and with the assistance of the brothers of the Flying Bird Battalion, the traces of the Rouran soldiers were found in Huangshagang on the south bank of the Han River."

"Huangshagang has a large area, and there are a lot of Rouran soldiers hidden, if it weren't for the sharp eyes of our bird soldiers, they might not be able to find it."

Lu Zhan said the information from the Asuka Battalion and the scouts.

Su Lu and Li Qing glanced at each other, and they were really right, Rouran people really had a plan, they probably also knew the characteristics of the birds, and deliberately hid in the yellow sand.

"Pass my military order, enter the city, and the armies will rely on the city wall to defend."

"Investigate all the houses in the city, find out the secret passage left by the Rouran people, don't touch the secret passage, and report to me after finding out."

Su Lu commanded.

The Rouran people walked and returned, they must have some idea, the Han army had ballistas and flying birds, and what the Rouran people could rely on was only the advantage of individual soldiers, and if they wanted to play the strength of individual soldiers, they had to be close.

They gave up Hanshui City, but lurked in Huangshagang, just to take advantage of the dark passage to enter the city at night and sneak attack the Han army.
