"Hey, why are there only three of you, and there's one more?" The leading Rouran Tenth Commander walked up to a seated Rouran soldier and patted him on the shoulder and asked.

Unexpectedly, the Rouran soldier who was photographed fell to the side and fell to the ground.

A cold light suddenly came out from the Rouran soldiers next to him, and with a "poof", the head of the Rouran Tenth Commander was completely defenseless.

Before the remaining four Rouran soldiers who came over could react, two sharp arrows suddenly shot out at the same time from behind the two sides of the camp.

"Poof" and "poof", the two unsuspecting arrows fell to the ground.

Only then did the remaining two Rouran soldiers react and drew their scimitars one after another.

The "Rouran Soldier" who killed the Ten-Captain suddenly raised his hand, and the Rouran Soldier on the left side fell to the ground holding his neck.

"Y-Who are you?" The only remaining Rouran soldier with a scimitar in his hand looked at the three people who were slowly approaching with a frightened face, these three were all wearing the clothes and leather armor of the Rouran soldiers, but he knew that these three people were definitely not Rouran people, otherwise how could they do anything to him and his companions?

Zhao Junsheng pounced and slashed down, the Rouran soldier's face was shocked, and he raised his scimitar to block the knife that Zhao Junsheng slashed at, but was slashed by Zhao Junsheng and sat on the ground.

Rou Ran Bing was about to get up, but Zhao Junsheng stepped forward and stabbed him in the neck, kicking the scimitar on the ground next to him out of the air.

At this time, Gao Xiu and Xue An both walked over with bows and arrows on their backs and swords in their hands.

Zhao Junsheng tilted his head at Gao Xiu: "This person is handed over to you for interrogation!" ”

"Understood!" Gao Xiu walked over and reached out and grabbed the person's shoulder, and began to interrogate him in some simple soft words.

The roasted hare could no longer be roasted, Zhao Junsheng walked over and sat on the horse to take the hare off, tore off a thigh and threw it to Xue Andu, and he also ripped off a thigh and gnawed it.

The rabbit meat was only slightly salty, with a hint of bitterness in the saltiness, and it seemed that the previous Rouran soldiers had smeared some coarse salt on the hares.

People think that the barbarians in Mobei lack food and clothing, lack of iron, lack of salt, it is true that they lack iron tools, and it is true that they lack food, but it is not right to say that they lack salt, there are many saltwater lakes in Mobei, and there are also mineral salt in some mountains, and the Rouran people and other barbarians living in Mobei are not too simple to take salt, as long as they boil it, they can get coarse salt.

After more than half an hour, Gao Xiu's interrogation was completed, and he killed this Rouran soldier with a knife, put the knife into the sheath and walked to the fire, took the rabbit meat handed over by Zhao Junsheng and said: "The interrogation is clear, there are still twelve miles from here to Shengle City, there are two layers of cordon in the middle, there is a cordon every ten miles from east to west, and a ten-person Rouran cavalry team is responsible for security guard, some are fixed somewhere, and some are patrolling back and forth." All in all, there are dozens of Rouran cavalry squads in this area from our army's defense area to Jinling, and if we go directly to Shengle City, we still need to pass through two cordons! ”

After Gao Xiu finished speaking, he began to eat rabbit meat, Zhao Junsheng took out a sheepskin map, took out a pen and ink inkstone from a package, poured a few drops of water into the inkstone, grinded it a few times with an ink stick, and then dipped the pen in ink to draw the surrounding terrain on the sheepskin, marking some special features, such as mountains, rivers, lakes, ponds, forests, hillsides, ravines and deep valleys, etc.

Zhao Junsheng was quite surprised that the Rouran people deployed so many rangers in this border area between the two sides to guard, it seems that the Rouran people are also worried about the Wei army's sneak attack, after all, the Rouran people are not good at defending the city, if they are entrenched in Shengle City, if they do not arrange enough guard posts, once the soldiers and horses of the Wei army brigade touch Shengle City and besiege it, the 15,600 Rouran cavalry will all be blocked in Shengle City, and the besieged cavalry will have only one fate, that is, the entire army will be annihilated.

"We still have two cordons from Shengle City here, that is, the first cordon is about five to six miles away from us, and the second cordon is about ten miles away from us, we have to touch Shengle City now, it's best not to fight with the Rouran people again, otherwise tomorrow the Rouran people will find out our whereabouts and know that we have gone to Shengle City!"

After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he finished drawing the last stroke, put away the sheepskin map and pen and ink inkstone, and beckoned to the two: "Come, let's hide the corpses of these Rouran people!" ”

The three of them worked together and threw the bodies of the ten Rouran people into the nearby mountain forest, which was impossible to find in a short period of time.

Zhao Junsheng walked back and pointed at Gao Xiu and Xue Andu: "The two of you have also changed your armor to the armor of the Rouran people, and your outer clothes have also been changed, at least you can't let other Rouran soldiers recognize that we are not Rouran people from the clothes!" ”

When Gao Xiu and Xue Andu heard this, they both took off the armor of the Wei army on their bodies and put on the coat, boots, leather armor and helmet of the Rouran soldiers, and Zhao Junsheng put the cloak of the ten commanders on himself.

The fire was extinguished by Zhao Junsheng, and when some were ready, the three of them stepped on the war horse, Zhao Junsheng beat the horse and walked forward, saying as he walked: "Zihao, you can speak soft words, if you meet Rouran people on the way, you will send them away, and don't have a conflict!" However, it is best to avoid these two cordons on the way as much as possible to avoid being detected! ”

"Understood!"

Zhao Junsheng and the three of them were very careful, they did not beat horses and gallop in the dark night, at this time, they would inevitably attract the attention of the Rouran cavalry patrolling and guarding around, and who would fight horses and gallop in this wilderness at this time? Once it attracts the attention of the patrol guard, it will definitely be stopped and investigated.

Zhao Junsheng and the others came to investigate the enemy's military situation, so naturally they didn't want to make trouble, and it was of course best to be able to avoid the patrol posts, but they really couldn't avoid it before they could do it.

Under the deliberate caution of the three of them, they successfully staggered the encounter with the Rouran cavalry squad that patrolled the first line of patrol, but their luck also ended there, when they were close to the last cordon of Shengle City, they encountered a Rouran cavalry team, and when the two sides were about to collide head-on, Zhao Junsheng took Gao Xiu and Xue An to hide under a hillside in time, and this Rouran cavalry team walked over their heads without noticing them.

When this cavalry squad went away, Zhao Junsheng, Gao Xiu and Xue An all breathed a sigh of relief, led the horse to climb the hillside and rode straight to Shengle City.

What Zhao Junsheng and the three of them didn't expect was that the Rouran people had no fortification of Shengle City at all, and there was not a single guard on the city wall, city tower and city gate.

Zhao Junsheng and the three of them rode close to the city gate, which made them extremely cautious, and the more so, the more uneasy they became, until they carefully rode into the city, and they found that the city was brightly lit and full of Rouran soldiers walking around at will.

Some of them were drunk, some were laughing together, some were talking and laughing, some were swaying around women, and everywhere you could hear people shouting when they were drunk, and you could hear laughter and screams of women coming from a certain house.

Xue Andu rode on horseback and muttered, "How do I feel like I've walked into a bandit's den?" Is this Shengle City? ”

Zhao Junsheng's face was expressionless: "Of course this is Shengle City, but now it has become a bandit den!" ”

The Rouran soldiers were busy with their own affairs, and no one paid attention to Zhao Junsheng and the three of them, and no one stepped forward to ask and deal with them, so the three of them rode through the lively "street market" and watched the flowers.

Gao Xiu was very vigilant, his hand always grasped a spear and didn't dare to let go, he kept looking at the Rouran soldiers and the environment around him, "Captain, where are we going now?" ”

Zhao Junsheng asked Xue Andu: "Xiuda, what do you think?" ”

Xue Andu said: "I think if we don't want to attract the attention of some people and get into trouble, the best way is to blend in with them like these Rouran soldiers!" ”

"Well said, exactly what I want!" Zhao Junsheng praised, "Let's find a place to tie the horse now, and then find a way to find out the situation in Shengle City!" ”

The three of them turned a corner and stopped in a remote courtyard, where there were a few Rouran soldiers, and Zhao Junsheng and the three of them secretly broke in, and each scattered and approached the house in the courtyard.

Zhao Junsheng leaned into the window and looked, five Rouran soldiers were eating around the edge of the table, there was wine and meat on the table, there was even roast chicken, and there was a fire burning on the edge of the wall.

Zhao Junsheng made a gesture to the two, Gao Xiu and Xue An both understood, and the two came to both sides of the gate lightly, each holding a knife to attack.

Zhao Junsheng walked to the door and stretched out a knife into the crack of the door and gently pried the door bolt, the door bolt was quickly removed, and the five Rouran soldiers in the room were unaware.

Zhao Junsheng looked at Gao Xiu and Xue Andu, and saw that both of them nodded to indicate that they were ready, and immediately raised his leg and kicked open the door.

With a clang, the door was kicked open, and Xue Andu and Gao Xiu each rushed into the house with knives left and right.

The five Rouran soldiers in the house were startled by the sudden noise, and before they could react, Xue Andu and Gao Xiu rushed up and killed one each, Zhao Junsheng rushed into the house and then raised it, and an embroidery needle shot to death in front of a person.

When the remaining two Rouran soldiers were about to get up and draw their swords, before they could pull out their swords, they were cut down by Xue Andu and Gao Xiu to the ground.

"Tut-tut!" Zhao Junsheng shook his head as he walked to the dining table: "Look at you, I don't know Sven, if you kill someone, you will kill people, why do you want to dirty the good wine, meat and food on this table?" Forget it, I'm hungry again, so I'm going to eat! This kind of ghost weather, if there is a hot pot, it will be cool! ”

Gao Xiu put the knife into the sheath, and saw that Zhao Junsheng was not taboo at all when blood was splashed on the wine, meat and food, and he was still gobbling it up, and couldn't help but say: "Du Wei, I really convinced you, so you can eat?" ”

"Hey, what's not to eat here? It's just blood, not cannibalism! Do you want to try it? Although this chicken is cold, it tastes good, quite a bit of salt-baked chicken, really, don't believe you try it! ”

"The officials are really some ruthless characters, I am convinced!" Gao Xiu couldn't help but shook his head, "I think I'd better move these corpses out and bury them in the yard first and then come to eat, otherwise there are some dead people lying next to me, and I really don't have much appetite!" ”
