Chapter 14 • Undercurrent

Humeng's sweat tent is located in a valley in the central hinterland of the Heluo grassland, surrounded by the tributaries of the Zimu River that form the shape of "several" on three sides, and one side is facing the most fertile Heluo Plain of the Heluo grassland, because it is exclusive to the royal court, so Humeng will call this place Korhan (Humeng's meaning is the highest), in the eyes of the feng shui master, this is where the dragon vein of the entire Heluo grassland is located, and this tributary of the Zimu River is the natural dragon, and the place it surrounds is like the dragon dragon ball-like Korhan royal court, surrounded by the dragon, arching and guarding the pearl, Swallow the land of Nanyan.

The cold was like an unwelcome guest completely cut off from the door by a curtain, and the still vigorous fire in the tent burst out from time to time with a "crackling" sound, and a fat tender sheep on the fire was already golden brown, which was the best time to enjoy it, but when I saw a few people in the house, except for the servant in charge of baking, who secretly swallowed at this delicacy, no one else wanted to go and enjoy it.

The sluggish expression occasionally glowed a little, and gently moved his old body, and he felt that his body was not as good as day by day, and he could get out of bed and walk two steps a month ago, but now he even had to ask someone to help him when he turned over, waved his hand and refused to come up to help his attendant, strongly indicating that he didn't need help, and then found a comfortable position and asked half-lying:

"Hasn't the fourth arrived yet?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold wind was let in by a hand that gently lifted the curtain, and then a shrunken figure appeared in the doorway, walking cautiously forward.

"Alas......"

Looking at the every move of the comer, Ji Lie couldn't help but sigh, he has five sons, although not all of them are heroic and extraordinary, but they are all iron-clad prairie men, but this fourth child is the only one who cowers and only promises, and he does not have the courage to be a man at all.

But then again, the fourth child is like today, Ke Dun back then had an unshirkable responsibility, and he couldn't get rid of it.

"That's it, one step at a time, it's really not impossible for him to be an Anlehou."

Thinking in his heart, he stopped paying special attention to Duoduo's actions, and said to the others:

"Since Duoduo is here, let's start, the troops going south have been off for almost a month, and according to the usual time, they should have already fought with the Yan army, Ge Erqin said the latest news from the front."

"Yes!" The person who answered was a middle-aged man with a small head, a thick felt hat on his head, a pair of divine eyes under the brim of the hat revealed the master's shrewdness and wisdom, a high nose bridge with slightly thin lips, and a trace of white air when he spoke, giving people the feeling that he was more like a scribe in the south of the Yan Kingdom, rather than belonging to the fierce Hu Meng, only listening to him continue his concise and clear report:

"According to the report of the southward army of the capital of Krozadu, the army is currently confronting the Yan army in Xiema Town, the Yan army relies on the base of Xiema Town, and sends multiple rangers to rob and kill our army's raiding squads, and our army also sends cavalry to counter-intercept on a large scale, and the two sides have four battles above the battalion level, with mutual victories and defeats, and according to the report of the spies, the Yan troops in Caiguan and the surrounding Yan countries have a tendency to gather in Xiema Town, with no less than 100,000 people."

"Hiss......"

Hearing this number, everyone present couldn't help but gasp, Ge Erqin paused, looked up at the people around, and no longer continued to look at the letter in his hand, and continued: "In order to ensure that our army can carry supplies and withdraw to the grassland smoothly, Kroza asked Wang Ting to send 50,000 additional reinforcements. ”

"Tell me what you think, according to what Croza's letter says, what should be done?" Ji Lie directly threw out his own question.

"Great Khan, the transfer of 50,000 iron cavalry is not trivial, the food, grass and armament involved, and other logistical supply problems are already very huge, if the Chen soldiers are on the border, once they really trigger a big war with the Yan army, the consequences are unimaginable, it is best to think in the long run."

It was Mo Luo, the leader of the Hehan tribe who spoke, and the Hehan tribe was the leader of the western Humeng tribe, so what he said had a decisive weight in the entire Humeng.

"Humph! Think about it in the long run, so will the troops of the Southern Barbarians give you time to think about it in the long run? When you finish the discussion, the 20,000 grassland sons sent out will also die, and you will let them destroy themselves if they are not from your western tribe? ”

Kromokin, the leader of the eastern tribe, was the first to stand up against Mo Roll, and closed his eyes with a fierce headache, this Kromokin and Mo Roll were born to deal with each other, and he now regretted calling these two together.

Ye Henan, the leader of the southern tribe, also stroked his forehead with a headache, and then hurriedly calmed Mo Luo, who was about to be angry, and said softly:

"What the Mo Roll clan leader said is not unreasonable, if the war is triggered, then the next thing is a long-lasting attrition, it must be very heavy, but there is a priority, the 20,000 grassland children, I Humeng can't give up, it is the top priority to bring these children back safely, so I agree to send troops."

All of them expressed their opinions, and then they all turned their eyes to Dordor, who cautiously smiled at the others, and said:

"Although I don't quite understand these militaristic events, but human lives are at stake, and it is still 20,000 grassland children and tens of thousands of horses and armor, even though I, Hu Meng, have recovered some vitality over the years, but I am still not strong enough to abandon such a large new army, and Yan Guo has not recovered from Yan Youchu's rebellion back then, and they will never dare to attack us, so sending reinforcements is only a deterrent, and the two sides will not really fight, so the risk is not big."

Hearing Duoduo's speech, he couldn't help but look at him twice, and a feeling of endless road arose in his heart. "Maybe it's good that he can grow into a strategist like Gelqin." Ji Lie thought to himself.

"Dodor's analysis makes sense, and I personally prefer to think so, what do you think?" Ji Lie said in his old and weak voice, although he was approaching the twilight of his age, as the supreme king of the grassland, his majesty was not diminished by the weakening of his body.

Seeing that the Great Khan had already spoken, and the others no longer objected, they all responded and waited for the Great Khan to give the order.

"Mo Roll, Ye Henan, Ge Erqin"

"The minister is here!" The three of them responded in unison

"The western tribe and the southern tribe each have 15,000 horsemen, and my northern tribe has 20,000 horses, forming an army of 50,000 and handing it over to the ......" Ji Lie paused when he said this, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Duoduo, and then shook his head slightly and continued: "Leave it to Temutel to lead and gallop to the aid of Crozadu." ”

Hearing this, the corners of Duoduo and Ge Erqin's mouths twitched imperceptibly, but at this moment, everyone lowered their heads and stood by, so no one noticed.

Ji Lie looked at Ge Erqin and said: "Ge Erqin, you just work hard, follow Temuter for a trip, although that kid is steady, but I am naturally irritable, you have to help me keep an eye on it, and try not to have a large-scale conflict with the Yan army." ”

"Obey orders!"

"Okay, that's it, Geerqin, you go to give the order, it's all dispersed, people are old, and they feel tired when they move their mouths."

"The ministers are leaving."

When everyone withdrew from the tent and scattered, when they could not see each other, Duoduo immediately turned his horse's head and hurried to the east, and when the horse galloped for half a pillar of incense, a team of centaurs gradually appeared in the field of vision, and this group of centaurs seemed to have been resting here for a long time, and from time to time someone looked at Duoduo, as if they were waiting for someone.

When Duoduo came into view, the soldiers who had been in a state of rest scattered under the leadership of their respective teams, leaving only Gelqin and Kromokin in place.

Seeing the arrival of Duoduo, the two did not show the slightest surprise, it seems that it had been discussed a long time ago, and when they approached, Duoduo turned over and dismounted, handed the reins to the guards behind him, and sat down with the two in front of him.

"This ghost weather is really fucking cold, I said that the fourth prince, you are too good at choosing a place, even if there is no wine or meat in this bird place, you have to endure this demon wind, which blows my tongue knotted when I speak."

Duoduo smiled, changed his previous cowardly appearance, and said, "Leader Crow, don't blame, other places are too easy to expose, so for the sake of safety, you can only work hard." ”

And Kromokin and Gelqin must also be accustomed to this kind of conversion of Duoduo, seeing Duoduo say this, Cromojin was embarrassed to complain too much, and said embarrassedly: "I just said it casually, and I don't mean anything else, the fourth prince must not take it to heart." ”

Ge Erqin, who had been silent on the side, interjected at this time: "Let's get down to business, this time the Khan will point to Temutiel, it can be said that God will help me to wait, and then the momentum will be bigger, and the news will reach Yanjing, and the emperor of Yan will have enough reasons to detain Kelie." ”

"Yes, it must make a big fuss, it is best to slaughter him by the way one or two Yan country border towns, grab some Yan country women to make us happy, and even capture Xiema Town for him." Kromogin couldn't help but interject.

Duoduo and Ge Erqin looked at each other and smiled, shook their heads and said to Kromokin: "It doesn't matter if you slaughter one or two border towns, Xiema Town doesn't say whether it can be captured, even if it can, it must not be done, because Xiema Town is the root bone of the northwest border of Yan Kingdom, if Xiema Town is captured, it will be the root bone of the northwest border defense of Yan Kingdom, and then I am afraid that the situation in Yan Country will not be controlled by the little emperor, and as an emperor, he will not tolerate us like this." ”

Kromogin laughed twice and said, "I'll just say that casually, if it doesn't work, it won't work." ”

"With Mr. Ge going with me, I will rest assured that everything will be relieved, and the spies I put in Yan Country will gradually release the news of Hu Meng's southward movement after the army arrives in Xiema Town, as for Temuter, since he is his own brother, he knows how to do it, but he still needs Mr. Ge's help to check the gates, don't go too far, lest the situation on Yan State's side get out of control."

"The fourth prince can rest assured, so I will follow the Kro clan to pass the order."

"Yes, yes, you can rest assured, the fourth prince, I know that guy Temutel very well, although he is a little belligerent, but he is still very reliable at a critical time, hehe, this time he will be a bastard who can't eat and go around." Kromogin patted his chest and said to Dord, then learned a few eagle chirps in the sky, only to see a moment later, the guards who had been scattered and guarded returned to Kromogin, escorting the two of them on their way east.

Seeing them go away, Duoduo also turned on his horse and galloped away in the direction in which he had been escorted by his guards, the color in his eyes flashing away in the cold wind blowing in front of him.
