Xue Andu and Su Ji returned to the place where the beggar return department with the army non-stop, but when leaving, Xue Andu sent a team of people to smooth out the horseshoe prints when they left, so as to prevent the Rouran people from deducing from the direction of the horseshoe prints that they had returned the same way, and there was no need to eliminate the traces all the time, as long as the horseshoe prints within five or six miles were erased.

It took another two hours or so for Xue Andu and Su Ji to return to the foot of Zhuo Evil Mountain with the men and horses, the corpses of the 20,000 Rouran people annihilated before dawn were still in place, and at this time, a large group of vultures had already flown over, and a large amount of bloody qi and the breath of the corpses slowly decomposing attracted them.

After the sound of the horses' hooves was heard, the vultures flew into the sky with a clatter, hovering in the sky without leaving.

At this time, it was already dark, and Xue Andu and Su Ji immediately arranged for the soldiers of the army to hide in the nearby mountains and forests to eat, drink, feed the horses and rest.

A military Chinese official hid in a no-man's land, he took out a small note from his bag next to the horse's belly, wrote a line with wolf hair, and then carefully rolled up the note, tied the paper roll with a strand of hair, and then took off a black square basket on his back.

He took the black cloth off to reveal a cage made of rattan, he rolled up his sleeves to reveal an arm with a guard on it, and when he opened the small door of the cage, a mighty eagle came out of the cage and stretched out its talons to grasp the scribe's arm.

It looked curiously at its surroundings, and the two eyes were extremely sharp.

The scribe stuffed the small paper roll in his hand into the bamboo tube tied to the eagle's feet, put on his hat, and took out several pieces of jerky from his bosom, and the eagle pecked them away with great speed.

The scribe stroked the feathers on the eagle's neck, "When you're full, it's time to hurry, remember not to be greedy on the road, send the letter back as quickly as possible, go!" With that, the arm was raised, and the eagle spread its wings and flew high, and it let out a long roar in the sky and disappeared into the night sky.

······

In the Junji Mountain, in a hidden valley, there are 2,000 tents, large and small, in the middle of these tents is the largest dome, and next to it is a wolf flag.

At this time, it was dusk, and it stands to reason that this should be the time for life and cooking, but there was not a wisp of cooking smoke in sight, and all the Rouran soldiers sat on the grass and took out the dried meat and chewed it slowly.

In order not to be discovered by the sentinel scouts of the cadre army, Toga Shin ordered that no fire should be lit during the battle, so the soldiers of Rouran could only eat dried meat and drink cold water.

At this time, a Rouran messenger rode into the valley on a fast horse, and the Rouran soldiers guarding the entrance to the valley did not stop them, but opened the barricades and refused to let them pass.

In the past few days, news has been coming from various ranger squads or other brigades, and almost all of these news are related to the cadres.

In the dome, Toga Shin sat on a large chair covered with wolf skin and chewed jerky, and the ministers of state, national teachers, generals, and leaders of various departments were also talking while chewing jerky.

At this time, the leader of the other department took a sip of wine and said: "Khan, according to me, don't play any cat-and-mouse game with the Qianguo people, and directly order the soldiers and horses of all departments to kill them, we have 80,000 warriors, and the Qianguo people only have 50,000, I'm afraid that he will be a bird!" If we continue to wait, the Qianguo people will also be consumed with us all the time, will we have to wait until the other two armies of the Qianguo army have rushed over to besiege us? ”

Minister Er Mianzhi Luo turned his head to look at it, and said loudly: "Boss, this is not a game of cat and mouse!" We have 80,000 horses, 30,000 more than the cadre army, which is true, but if we really want to fight head-on, we have no absolute chance of winning! Now we have to wait for the Qianguo people to show their flaws, and we can only give them a fatal blow if we grasp the flaws! ”

Bendu was not optimistic about this plan, he shook his head and said: "Khan, everyone, it's not me who wants to pour cold water on you, if you fight with the Qianguo people head-on, we will have at least more than sixty percent chance of attacking with superior forces, but you have to play with the Qianguo people, it's not that I will underestimate you, it's no fun!" ”

When the new national teacher Tan Wuye heard this, he suddenly felt embarrassed, and at the same time he was also angry in his heart, this combat strategy was thought up by him and gave Tuhe Zhen first, and now this convenience actually belittled it to worthlessness, and said that these people are not the opponents of the Qianguo people at all, how can he be embarrassed?

Although Tan Wuye was very angry in his heart, he couldn't say anything, after all, he was an outsider, and he was currently trusted and reused by Toga, but he couldn't be arrogant, many Rouran nobles and ministers didn't trust him as a new national teacher, and they didn't even treat him as their own, he knew when to speak and when to be silent.

Tuhe Zhen spoke: "I have decided how to fight, does the leader of Bendu have any opinion on me?" ”

After all, Tuga Zhen is a khan, and he is an old qualified tribal leader, although he doesn't trust Tuga Zhen as the new khan in his heart, he still knows what to do on the surface.

"Don't dare, the Khan decides how to fight, we will fight as much as we want, I'm just talking about my thoughts! However, the Khan's new accession to the throne, the subjects are not very convinced, the Khan's decision should be cautious, if this battle is lost, it is difficult to guarantee that the subjects will not talk nonsense! ”

Toga Zhen's gloomy face was about to attack, when a shout came from outside the tent: "Report-"

The voice fell, and a Rouran messenger ran in quickly to report: "Qiyu Khan, the leader of Kurenzhi asked the villain to come and deliver the letter." This morning, according to the agreement, the beggar should send a messenger to report safety to us, but after two minutes of the agreed time, there is still no messenger's figure, the leader of Kurenzhi felt bad, immediately led the troops to evacuate the camp, and set up some platoon of dark posts to hide nearby, but until the afternoon our army arrived at the new camp still did not see the dark post return, the leader of Kurenzhi suspected that the beggar return department was only afraid that it had encountered an accident, it is likely that a large number of cadres and cavalry raided the beggar return department on a long journey last night, and then killed our camp, fortunately our department evacuated in time, Otherwise, I'm afraid that at this time, I will already follow in the footsteps of begging for return! ”

Tuhezhen's face changed dramatically in shock, and he suddenly got up: "What? Beggar to his uncle······"

It's no wonder that Tuga is so out of shape, in the entire Rouran, Qiliegui is the most supportive of him, if something happens to Qiliegui, then his strength as the new Rouran Khan will shrink by half!

Minister Er Mianzhiluo's face was solemn, he walked to the side and looked at the large sheepskin map, and said to Tuhe Zhen: "Khan, if the beggar return department really encounters an accident, but Kurenzhi has not received any news, this can only mean that the cadres have dispatched at least 20,000 cavalry, otherwise it is impossible for no one to flee to Kurenzhi's camp!" ”

"You see, the camp of the cadres is here, and they should arrive and end the battle before dawn according to the time of the raid on Qiliegui, otherwise they will not have enough time to rush to Kurenzhi's camp to continue the attack!"

"After a whole night's march and a battle in which 20,000 horses were annihilated, the soldiers of the Qianjun army must have been tired, but they continued to attack Kurenzhi northward. The two places are sixty miles apart, and it will take at least two hours to march with cavalry, otherwise the war horses will not be able to bear it, but they pounced on the air and hunted down the secret post left by Ku Renzhi, even if this cavalry did not stay in place at this time, it should not be far from there, they are already very tired, and they can't go far! ”

Tuga Zhen's spirit was shocked, his heart was full of hatred, Qiliegui was his own uncle, he was treated as his own son since he was a child, and now Qiliegui's life and death are uncertain, he must go to see a final, although he has a premonition that Qiliegui is only afraid that he has died, but he is unwilling not to look at him!

It just so happens that I can eat that cadre cavalry by the way, which can be regarded as avenging my uncle by begging for Liegui!

Tuga Zhen made a decision in an instant, and he immediately said: "Order all the troops to quickly rush to the original camp of Kuren Nao to converge, as soon as the first to arrive finds the Qianjun army to attack and drag them down, and then the men and horses of the various troops who rushed to join the battle in turn, Ben Khan must kill this Qianjun cavalry without leaving a single piece of armor!" Ordered everyone in the camp to get ready, and set out when it gets dark! ”

The generals and leaders got up together, and were about to get up to receive the order, when Tan Wuye said: "Khan, the poor monk suggested that the main force of the cadre army left in the camp should be concentrated first, as for the partial division, the khan can order Kuren to lead the troops to drag them, and when the main force of the Western Route Army is annihilated, a partial division will be easy to deal with!" ”

Minister Er Mianzhiluo frowned and said: "The suggestion of the national teacher makes the prime minister disagree, it is obvious that the main force of the cadres who remain in the camp still has 30,000 horses, and the partial division is already less than 20,000, maybe half of it has been lost, we have to fight of course we have to pick up the weak ones to fight first, how can we gnaw the difficult bones first?" ”

Tuga Zhen also felt that what Er Mianzhiluo said made sense, and he couldn't help but look at Tan Wuye again, wanting to hear his reason.

Tan Wuye immediately said: "Khan, the location of our troops and horses should not be a secret in the eyes of the cadres, their outposts are not for rice, they may not know our specific location, but they should be able to guess the general area!" Now they took the initiative to divide their troops to attack the Qilie Guibu, because the terrain where the Qilie Guibu is located is conducive to their attack, and at the same time, it also has a surprise effect, no one of us thought in advance that the Qianjun would attack the Qiliegui Department first, after all, his camp is the farthest away from the Qianjun, but the Qianjun just did this! ”

"Therefore, if we want to defeat the cadres, our actions must also be taken by surprise and made the cadres unimagined! Now we can use the cover of night to besiege the main force of the Qian's army, and Emperor Zhao Junsheng of the Qianguo Kingdom is afraid that he would not think that we would do this, right? ”
