Zhao Junsheng walked to the window and looked through the crack in the door, and sure enough, he saw Princess Tuzhen walking down from a carriage with the help of Wu Luhu.

She covered her mouth with a piece of silk, coughed twice from time to time, and followed Wulu into the palace under the escort of some personal soldiers.

Zhao Junsheng retracted his gaze, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then turned around and said to Gao Xiu and Xue Andu solemnly: "We have two choices now: first, sneak into Wuluhu's side, kidnap him, and force him to order Shelun to lead the army to withdraw!" Second, kill all the horses and livestock left in Shengle City, or sneak into the grain and grass hoarding site and burn all their grain and grass! ”

Gao Xiu and Xue An were both a little puzzled after hearing this, and Gao Xiu asked: "Du Wei, you said that you want to hold Wu Lu hostage and force him to order Shelun to lead the army to withdraw, I can understand this; But you said that you want to kill all the war horses and livestock here, and burn all the grain and grass, your subordinates can't understand it, Shelun has been leading the army for so long, and it's useless for us to stir up the wind and rain here now! ”

Zhao Junsheng took a deep breath, "Disturbing this place is not aimed at the Shelun army, Shelun's 10,000 cavalry has been off for almost two hours, and it is beyond the reach of the whip only by us, we are targeting Princess Tuzhen in this Shengle City, this woman is too shrewd, she will not fail to think of the role of Nantian Fort, Nantian Fort will not be broken by the Rouran people for a day, and the Rouran army will not be able to go south with all its strength, as long as the Shelun army passes through Tunqi Mountain, if our army starts from Nantianbao and detours to block Tunqi Mountain and Da'e Mountain, The Shelun army is in danger of being besieged and the whole army is destroyed! As soon as this Shengle City is in chaos, Princess Tuzhen will not be able to send troops to contain Nantian Fort, and we will have a chance to let this Wan Rouran cavalry go and never return! ”

Gao Xiu sighed: "The subordinates understand, the captain is far-sighted, and the subordinates can't do it!" It's too difficult and dangerous to sneak into Princess Wuluhu and Princess Tuzhen, I'm afraid that we won't have any chance at all! On the contrary, there is a slight possibility of killing those soft horses and burning their grain and grass! ”

Zhao Junsheng clapped his hands: "Okay, let's go and poison their war horses first!" This Shengle City used to be the capital of the Great Wei Kingdom, there must be a lot of medicine shops in the city, Rouran people will not use my original medicine stone, there must be a large number of medicines left in these medicine shops, some medicines can not only save people, but also put people to death! ”

"Good!" Gao Xiu agreed, hacked Banu to death with a knife, and the three of them packed up and went to the city to find a medicine shop.

Palace.

Ah Fu Gan heard the report of his subordinates that the Right Xian King Wu Lu Hu and Princess Tuzhen returned, he was shocked, but he immediately smiled, now Shelun has taken the army for two hours, even if Wu Lu Hu ordered to send someone to let She Lun withdraw the army, with the nature of Shelun, he may not obey orders, no matter what the final result is, it is he who will benefit.

Ah Fu Gan and several generals stepped forward to greet him: "The last general A Fu Gan will meet the Right Xian King and Princess Tuzhen, and welcome the Right Xian King and Princess back to Shengle City!" ”

Wulu suddenly raised his hand: "Ah Fugan, don't be polite!" By the way, why are there so many soldiers and horses in this city? ”

"This ······" Afugan hesitated.

Wulu frowned: "Afugan, this king is ordered by the Khan to command all the soldiers and horses in the north and south of Yinshan, and this king orders you to say, where did most of the soldiers and horses in Shelun go?" ”

Ah Fugan had no choice but to grit his teeth and said: "Marshal Shelun has taken 10,000 horses to attack the Jinling camp!" ”

When Princess Tuzhen heard the news, she felt like she had been beaten with a stick, her face turned pale instantly, and she screamed: "What? cough, cough, cough······ Is he crazy? Ahem, cough, cough······ The current weather is not conducive to our cavalry charging at all, and Nantian Fort has not been captured, how can he act so risky? Why don't you stop him? ”

Ah Fu made an old face bitterly, "My princess, you don't know the handsome character of Shelun, can he listen to what the last general says?" It's not that the last general didn't persuade me, but he didn't listen, and he reprimanded me fiercely! ”

The atmosphere in the hall was a little solemn, and the face of Wu Lu was a little frightening, and Princess Tuzhen's face turned from pale to flushed.

"King Youxian, princess, what now?" Afugan asked cautiously.

Wulu suddenly turned his head to look at Princess Tuzhen: "Daughter, now this king can only send someone to hurry over and give a strict order to Shelun, so that he can lead the army to withdraw, I hope it is still too late!" ”

Princess Tuzhen thought for a moment, raised her jade hand and waved: "No need, the arrow has been shot, how can I take it back?" If my father forcibly ordered him to lead the army to withdraw, it would inevitably make Shelun resentful and cause discord among the generals, and besides, he may not be defeated, but we have to solve his worries! ”

"Daughter, what are you going to do?"

Princess Tuzhen didn't know Afugan's thoughts, as soon as she came back, she understood that Shelun led the army to attack the Jinling camp, and Afugan was instigating it, she looked at Afugan: "Deputy Marshal Afugan, if Shelun's army is defeated by the Wei army, and the Khan will be held accountable, you as the deputy marshal are afraid that it will be difficult to escape the relevant responsibilities, if you want to be safe and sound, you have to fully cooperate with this princess!" ”

Ah Fugan was shocked in his heart, and he already understood that Princess Tuzhen had seen the clue, so he had to press down the panic in his heart, and hurriedly lowered his posture: "I don't know how the princess will act, and the last general will fully cooperate!" ”

"How many soldiers and horses are there in the city?"

"Five thousand!"

"Okay, my lord will borrow two thousand men and horses, and it is noon now, let them gather and prepare five days' dry food before dark!"

Ah Fugan stroked his chest and promised: "Obey!" ”

In a pharmacy, the door of the store was closed, and there were several corpses of Rouran soldiers lying in the store, Zhao Junsheng and Xue An both carried these corpses to the backyard to hide, and Gao Xiu carried a cloth bag to the warehouse to find medicinal materials.

After Zhao Junsheng and Xue An hid the bodies and returned to the store, Gao Xiu also came back from the medicinal materials warehouse with a bag of medicinal materials.

"How's it going, have you got it all?"

"It's complete, but you still have to chop these herbs and grind them into powder!"

Xue Andu said: "Just now I saw a guillotine and a stone mill in the backyard, which should be used to grind medicinal herbs!" ”

The three of them came to the backyard and spent half an hour grinding a sack of medicinal herbs into powder, packing it in a densely woven silk bag, and putting another sack on the outside.

The three of them came to the vicinity of the stable in the northwest corner, and Zhao Junsheng and the three of them hid in one place to observe for a while, and found that the guard was much more lax than in the morning.

Zhao Junsheng was trying to find a way to get in, when he saw a few grooms coming over, his mind turned, and he immediately signaled to Gao Xiu and Xue Andu: "Go!" ”

The three of them set out together, and the three horsemen who had just passed by were knocked unconscious by the three of them and dragged to a hidden place, and it didn't take long for Zhao Junsheng and the three of them to wear the clothes of the horsemen and carry the medicine powder into the stable.

The site of the stable is surprisingly large, it used to be the stable used by the Northern Wei army, and it was built very spacious, with many stables, which can raise 20,000 war horses here at the same time.

Zhao Junsheng and the three of them walked between the stables, looking at the tall and sturdy war horses, Gao Xiu couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity!" ”

"It's a pity, no matter how many horses there are, they won't be ours!" Xue An couldn't help but say.

One of the stewards stepped forward and asked, "Hey, what are you doing?" Why haven't I seen you before? ”

Gao Xiu hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "We are new here!" ”

"New kid, how come I didn't know the new groom?" The steward was suspicious.

Zhao Junsheng's eyes were fierce, the fingers of his right hand moved, and an embroidery needle was caught between his fingers.

At this time, a shout came from outside the stable: "Steward, come out, there is an order from above, immediately let your men feed all the war horses, tonight you will go out overnight, you must feed all the war horses before dark, do you hear?" ”

The steward immediately ran over and smiled: "Yes, yes, you must be fed!" ”

Seeing off the herald, the steward turned around and shouted at Zhao Junsheng and the others: "New here, what are you still doing in a daze?" Don't hurry up and add hay to the trough, and if you can't feed all the horses before dark, I'll skin you!" ”

"Yes, yes, we'll work now!"

There were more than a few grooms in the whole stable, and hundreds of men tended to the horses, all of them captive slaves, and at the beckoning of the steward, these men began to carry fodder and feed the horses.

Under the cover of Zhao Junsheng and Xue Andu, Gao Xiu carried a cloth bag and sprinkled a handful of medicinal powder in each manger.

Half an hour later, Gao Xiu converged with Zhao Junsheng and Xue Andu, "Duwei, it's all done!" ”

"Let's go!"

The medicinal properties of the medicinal powder were too strong, and before Zhao Junsheng and the three of them could completely walk out of the stable, the war horses that were the first to eat fell one after another, which immediately caused panic among the captive slaves.

"Oh no, a horse is dead!" Some of the captive slaves screamed in terror, and they could not help but be afraid, and as captive slaves, they had to feed their horses well, and if anything happened to them, they would all be beheaded.

When the steward saw it, he was shocked, and suddenly remembered the three Zhao Junsheng who were acting suspiciously, and immediately pointed to Zhao Junsheng and the three who were about to walk to the door of the stable and shouted: "Stand, catch them!" ”

Zhao Junsheng and the others' faces changed, and he shouted: "Hurry up!" ”

The three of them immediately rushed towards the gate, and the Rouran soldiers at the gate drew their swords to meet and block them, Zhao Junsheng rushed up with an arrow step to dodge a knife, and snatched a scimitar with an empty hand into the white blade and slashed over three Rouran soldiers in a row, Gao Xiu and Xue Andu also grabbed the weapon, each cut down a soldier, and the three escaped from the stable together.

"Don't let them run away, chase me, if you can't catch them, we'll all die!" The steward's panting ran over and shouted at the little handsome man on duty.

The face of the handsome man on duty changed, and he shouted at his soldiers with a knife: "Chase after me, you must not let them run away!" ”

The pursuers behind were in relentless pursuit, and Zhao Junsheng and the three of them looked back while running wildly, and there were Rouran soldiers in front who heard the shouts of the pursuers and drew their swords to surround them.

Zhao Junsheng's heart sank, knowing that he had exposed his hiding and identity today, he was afraid that it would be more than lucky, and he yelled at Xue Andu and Gao Xiu: "So far, there is no way to hide in this city, if you want to live, you can only kill it!" ”
