"The king of Loulan is going to send envoys to meet the envoys of the Han Dynasty?" After hearing these words from the person sent by King Loulan, the deputy general of Guludu was dumbfounded, "Do you want my army to send people to accompany him?" ”

"That's what the king said." The envoy of the king of Loulan said, "In this way, you can avoid suspicion from your army." ”

The adjutant general had to be silent, and then said, "Didn't you already send an army before?" ”

"The former is the before, the present is the present, and it cannot be generalized." The envoy scolded in his heart, "Haven't you sent someone out again, otherwise we would have tossed like this?"

"You go down first, and I'll wait and discuss before I reply to you." The adjutant said with a gloomy face.

"Please hurry up, the men and horses sent by my king to meet the Han envoy are still waiting outside. If it's too late today, there's no room for delay. Loulan envoy said.

"Got it, let's go down!"

The envoy of the king of Loulan waited outside the military camp for a long time before he received a reply from the deputy general of Guludu: "The army stationed here is the military order of the king of Qianli, and without the order of the king of Qianli, we dare not act rashly." As for going to meet the Han envoys, you should go by yourself, I will not accompany you! ”

"Has the general figured it out?" The envoy of the king of Loulan wondered for a while, he would not believe the words of the Huns, if he really couldn't act rashly, what did you send people to do? It was precisely because of this that the envoys really couldn't figure out what these Huns thought.

"Where is so much nonsense, if you don't leave, I will detain you!"

"......" envoys.

When the deputy general discussed with the generals, the generals agreed that King Loulan's move must have ulterior motives. Because they went to pick up the envoys of the Han Dynasty, there was no need to take their own people with them. As for the envoys' claim that the king of Loulan was to avoid suspicion among the Xiongnu, the generals unanimously agreed that this reason was quite insufficient. What did the king of Loulan do, why did we have to send someone to follow? What is the reasoning behind this?

All in all, King Loulan's current actions really made the Hun generals suspicious.

"If we lead our army to follow them, and I don't want to say whether they really went to meet the Han envoys—because they had already sent people to meet them, would these men just want to lure us out of the camp and ambush us halfway? Moreover, now that the camp has only 3,000 troops, if the troops are divided again, how should the Loulan people deal with the attack on the camp? When the adjutant general said this, all the generals had a look of deep disapproval.

"So what should we do?" Someone asked, "Shall they follow them to the east and threaten our sergeants who have just left the camp, and we will ignore them?" What if they caught the king and the brothers who had left the camp in front of them? ”

"Although we don't send people openly, we can secretly send people to follow those Loulan people from afar." The lieutenant general said wisely, "It's night, as long as the brothers who go out to follow us are careful, they won't be able to spot us at all." ”

"High, the lieutenant's move is really high!" Someone immediately exclaimed, "This not only allows us to move from the light to the dark and grasp the initiative." And it can prevent the army in Mud City from coming out to attack the camp, after all, they still think that we promised to have enough troops! ”

"Okay, that's it!"

So, after the envoys of the king of Loulan left with the brigade puzzled, in the Hun camp, a team of cavalry left the camp with horses and hooves and quietly followed out. These cavalry were cautious, and only let the rangers secretly follow the team of the King of Loulan, while the main force fell far behind.

...........................................................

At noon today, Qin Cheng and the others had already arrived at a place more than ten miles outside the mud city, and they saw that they were about to step into the mud city after walking half a step. The Loulan officials who led the way were very happy, because the arrival of the Han envoy meant that someone could compete with the Xiongnu who were besieging the city, and the Loulan State would become the object of both countries in one fell swoop from the embarrassing situation of being coerced by the Xiongnu before. In this way, the two countries naturally have to tie up with Loulan State, which is undoubtedly an opportunity for Loulan State to show off its score and salvage benefits.

These simple truths are naturally not difficult to see.

However, after beating Qin Cheng and Huo Qubing and others to observe the Hun camp, when they came back, they told everyone to let everyone return the same way.

This made the Loulan officials and guides who led the way very puzzled, and some officials asked Qin Cheng: "General, the mud city is in front of you, and you only need to walk for a while to get there." I, the king, are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the general, and must have prepared a banquet waiting to receive the wind for the general. Why did the general return the same way at this time? Could it be that when he saw the Hun army stationed outside the city, he was afraid to retreat? ”

In the face of the rather unceremonious agitation of the Loulan officials, Qin Cheng just smiled and said: "I won't enter the city today, and I will enter tomorrow." ”

The words are simple, the meaning is clear, but the attitude is unquestionable.

Subsequently, the Loulan officials wanted to say something, but Qin Cheng didn't listen anymore.

Seeing Qin Cheng's resolute attitude, the Loulan officials had no choice but to say: "Since the general doesn't want to enter the city at this time, it's not good for me to force it." However, since we have arrived outside the city, it seems inappropriate for me to go back like this, so my minister wants to send someone into the city to report to my king, so that my king may know that the general will enter the city tomorrow. In this way, it is also convenient for the city to prepare for the reception of the general. ”

To this, Qin Cheng only replied with two words: "No, none of you can leave." ”

These Loulan officials immediately quit when they heard this, and many people even became indignant about Qin Cheng's attitude, and the officials led by him even said: "In the past few days, it is because the general said that he wanted to conceal his whereabouts, so I have not reported the whereabouts to the king from time to time, and now even if he is ten miles outside the city, the king still has no idea." Now we just want to be the king, why not? ”

Qin Cheng didn't explain, but his opinion was still clear and his attitude was still resolute: "It's not too early, you better go back with Ben General, don't make more trouble!" ”

Some Loulan officials with a bad temper immediately wanted to pick on their sons, and they stepped on their horses and wanted to leave by force.

"Don't move!" Qin Qingzhi snorted coldly, and immediately, five hundred heavy cavalry and fifty personal soldiers forced over and surrounded those people in the middle.

"Qin Cheng, don't be too presumptuous! Don't forget, this is Loulan Country, do you want to kidnap Loulan officials? An official immediately shouted at Qin Cheng.

Fighting for the vicious words of the Loulan officials, Qin Cheng didn't bother to pay attention to them at all, and turned around and left without saying a word.

Then, Qin Qingzhi strode over, and in the other party's incomprehensible eyes, he grabbed his hand and pulled the person who had just spoken disrespectfully from the horse, and then slapped him over.

The voice was very loud and the action was very sudden, which made the Loulan official of No. 1 Middle School stunned there, not knowing how to respond.

At the end, Qin Qingzhi stood up and did not forget to give a sentence: "We are here to help you relieve the siege of the Huns, we are here to help, your attitude must be correct." But if you don't know what a good attitude is, I might as well teach you! ”

In the resentful and frightened eyes of the Loulan officials, Qin Cheng asked Qin Qingzhi to lead five hundred heavy cavalry and Dou Fei, Zhang Qian and others to leave first, while he took Yi Xue'er Liu Mu and Huo Quai, as well as Loulan's officials, under the escort of his own soldiers, walked in the original direction for more than thirty miles, until it was almost dark, and then stopped.

Before parting ways with Chongqi, Xike Chafu, who had been leading the way for Qin Cheng, said goodbye to Qin Cheng, and then went in the direction of Muddy City.

After fiddling with the bonfire and setting up the tent, Yi Xue'er asked Qin Cheng when he was free: "How can you be sure that this Xike teaman can lure the bones over?" ”

"Although he is only a commoner now, if he has the opportunity to ascend to the temple in the future, he will definitely achieve great things. If such a person can't even complete such a simple task, it is really a joke. "Qin Cheng looks like a Bole.

"You think so highly of this man?" Icher smiled, "I hope you're not wrong." ”

"When did I miss someone?" Qin Cheng asked seriously.

"You want to use yourself as bait to lure the bones out, and then use the heavy cavalry to kill them from the side and kill them?" Liu Mu answered, "This Xike teaman is a line to help you connect yourself with Xike teaman?" ”

"It is worthy of being the deputy general of General Ben, it is a confidant." Qin Cheng laughed twice, and then explained: "Actually, it's not just me who is the bait, but the princess too. If I zoom in, I'll wait for it. In fact, even if there was no me and Yi Xue'er, when we learned that the Han envoy was coming, Guludu would come out of the camp to intercept and kill - as long as the Han envoy died in Loulan Kingdom, the king of Loulan would jump into the Yellow River and couldn't wash off the stench on his body, and the Han and Loulan would have a bad relationship because of this matter, and even a war. And this is exactly what the Huns want to see. ”

"You dare to say that you will lure Gulu to come here to kill, isn't it the same plan, let Loulan and Hun ...... The Huns are at odds? Yi Xue'er glanced at Qin Cheng, "But I have to tell you that Gu Lu is in the desert, but he has the reputation of being a little Yi Zhilan, and his person is by no means a reckless man." ”

"Everybody is each other." Qin Cheng smiled, "Loulan is a big country in the Western Regions, and among the countries in the Western Regions, Loulan's position is the most important. Gu Ludu also knows this, how could he let go of such an opportunity? ”

"Then if the bones are all poured out, or rather, lead the main force to dispatch. And we only have five hundred heavy horses, isn't it a bit of trouble? Yanagi asked.

"If so." Qin Cheng straightened his clothes, "The military camp of Guludu must be empty, and the heavy cavalry can kill the horse gun and go to the military camp of Guludu." ”

"What about us?" Yanagi asked.

"We ......," Qin Cheng laughed dryly, "we can only run for our lives." ”

“......”

"But after staying in Loulan for so long, I don't think it is possible for Gu Lu to act without scruples at all, after all, he also has to guard against being calculated by Loulan, so the possibility of leading the army out of the camp is very small." Qin Cheng added.

Of course, the confident General Qin didn't know that the situation inside and outside the mud city was already changing at this time.
