It has been three days since Qin Cheng and the others left Chang'an, and after three days of hurrying, the three of them had arrived at the junction of Shangdang County and Changshan County at noon that day. Counting the distance, in four more days, a few people will be able to rush back to the military camp of Shanggu Qiansang City.

Winter is coming to an end, which is undoubtedly a joy for the bitterly cold north. Qin Cheng wants to train an iron cavalry, and high-intensity cavalry training is naturally indispensable, and in the spring, sergeant training can be more relaxed.

Winter is gone, spring is coming, the noon sun shines on people warmly, making people really feel the style of the warm and cold season.

After a half-day journey, seeing noon, Qin Cheng asked everyone to stop and rest, and eat some dry food by the way.

The post road where everyone is now is the official road that must be passed from the Great Wall of Shangdang County to the Yuancheng of Changshan County, and there are already many pedestrians coming and going on the official road at this time, or riding horses and galloping, or walking on foot. Qin Cheng and the others tied their horses to the trees on the side of the road, and sat down on the stones on the side of the road. Looking at the pedestrians coming and going, Qin Cheng finally had a familiar feeling now. This feeling became more and more obvious as Qin Cheng became longer in this era, and this was a feeling after gradually integrating into this era. Thinking of what he had experienced in Chang'an on this trip, the corners of Qin Cheng's mouth inadvertently hooked up an arc of a smile. Qin Cheng remembered that when he first came to this era, when he and Dong Chu and others rode horses to the Shanggu military camp, he told himself: This is unpredictable. And now, he also has a career of his own in this era, and he has been appreciated by Liu Che, Qin Cheng suddenly found that he had actually developed a sense of belonging to this era and what he did in this era.

Thinking of this, the smile on the corner of Qin Cheng's mouth became warmer.

"General." Qin Cheng was immersed in his thoughts, and suddenly heard Qin Qingzhi calling himself, Qin Cheng looked towards Qin Qingzhi and saw that he was signaling to the post road.

There was a little boy about three or four years old on the post road, holding a miniature wooden horse-like thing in his hand, looking at Qin Cheng, looking at the long knife on Qin Cheng's waist with a pair of watery eyes full of curiosity.

Diagonally opposite the post road, there was a group of people who looked like a large family of people drinking water and digging out dry food to distribute dry food, and they didn't even notice that their children had run to Qincheng's side for a while.

Qin Cheng smiled at the little boy, and the child also smiled at Qin Cheng, and Qin Cheng began to tease him, but no matter how Qin Cheng teased, the little child didn't react, just looked at Qin Cheng and smirked.

Qin Qingzhi and the others looked interesting, so they laughed, Qin Qingzhi quipped: "General, I'm afraid this kid is not easy to fool, haha!" ”

Qin Cheng teased for a while, and felt bored, seeing that the kid was smiling even more proudly, he simply scared him.

When the child saw Qin Cheng's fierce and vicious appearance, he was immediately shocked. was stunned, and just when Qin Cheng was a little proud, he suddenly said, "Wow! With a loud shout, the little wooden horse in his hand was like Qin Cheng's face thrown over!

Qin Cheng, who was playing with the children, didn't notice that the sound of horses' hooves was faintly approaching at this time.

When the big family on the opposite side heard the child's shout, a middle-aged man immediately scolded the child and called the child back.

Qin Cheng returned the herding horse to the child amid the laughter of Qin Qingzhi and the others, and motioned for him to go back quickly.

The child glared at Qin Cheng and began to walk back.

Since it is diagonally opposite, this distance for small children is actually a bit long.

And at this time, the sound of the horse's hooves finally became louder.

Qin Cheng followed the prestige, and saw two Han cavalry galloping from the bend of the post road, and the speed was extremely fast!

When the two horsemen saw the child in the middle of the road, it was too late to restrain their horses!

Qin Cheng, who had already realized that something was wrong, jumped up, threw the long knife in his hand with a sheath on the leg of the horse in front of him, and flew to the child, taking advantage of the gap between the horseman's body and falling to save him dangerously.

One of the cavalrymen in front fell, and the cavalry behind also fell on the post road because of his tight and fast speed.

Although the two cavalrymen knew that the situation was critical, after all, they were dismounted by Qin Cheng and fell to the ground, looking embarrassed, and they should have been angry when they stood up at this time, but the knight didn't look at Qin Cheng or the child, but only looked at the horse.

Until it was confirmed that the leg of one of the war horses had been broken by the long knife thrown out by Qin Cheng, the cavalryman who was originally full of anxiety on his face immediately became angry, and he kicked at Qin Cheng with one kick, scolding in his mouth: "You look for death!" If you delay the military situation, Lao Tzu will behead you now! ”

Qin Cheng had already given the little boy to his family who came forward, and when he turned around, he saw the knight who fell down first kicking towards him, Qin Cheng's brows were already furrowed, but when he heard the words of the cavalry, the movement of his hand immediately changed to capture, avoiding the cavalry's feet, and his body flashed behind him, grabbing him from behind.

At the same time, Qin Qingzhi and the others also controlled the cavalry behind.

"If you want a horse, I will wait for a few here, you choose one to go to the satisfaction of the horse, don't delay the military situation here!" Qin Cheng said after restraining the cavalryman.

The cavalryman was stunned for a while when he heard this, and his resistance was a little weaker, and Qin Cheng took the opportunity to let go of him.

The cavalry turned around, glanced at Qin Cheng, and then clenched his fists, and did not have any extra words and movements, but just said: "The military situation is urgent, thank you!" "I'm going to lead the horses of Qin Cheng and the others. As soon as he took a step, the cavalry stopped, turned around suddenly, and glanced at Qin Cheng carefully.

"General Qin?" The cavalryman first shouted in question, and then immediately made a standard military salute, and said loudly: "The subordinate Wang Da Niu, the herald of the Shanggu military camp, has seen General Qin!" ”

Qin Cheng naturally didn't recognize this Wang Da Niu, but this Wang Da Niu recognized Qin Cheng. It's just that the situation is urgent, Wang Daniu first cared about the horse, and after learning that the horse was injured, he was already confused, and he had only seen Qin Cheng before, and he had not dealt with Qin Cheng before, so he didn't recognize it in a hurry.

Qin Cheng took his own saber that was picked up by a personal soldier and said to Wang Daniu: "Why are you so anxious today? ”

Since the other party was a sergeant under his command, as the supreme commander of the cavalry in the Shanggu military camp, Qin Cheng could naturally ask what was the military situation that made these two cavalrymen so anxious at this time.

"Report to General Qin, King Wuhuan led an army of 30,000 to cross the Great Wall and harass the border, General Li has led the whole battalion of soldiers to the north to defend against the enemy! His subordinates were ordered by General Li to report to the court with military intelligence! At the same time, inform General Qin and ask General Qin to hurry back to Shanggu! The cavalryman said as he took a piece of brocade silk from his body and brought it to Qin Cheng.

The military information of the cavalry to the imperial court was generally packed in special equipment and was not allowed to be opened along the way. And the brocade silk handed to Qin Cheng by this cavalryman must have been a private letter written by Li Guang to Qin Cheng.

Qin Cheng took the brocade silk and unfolded it to see that there were only eight big characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing:

Wuhuan 30,000 invasion, return quickly!

The eight big characters are scribbled, which shows that Li Guang also wrote them in a hurry at that time, which shows that the situation must be critical.

Qin Cheng accepted the brocade silk, and asked Wang Daniu: "Does the general have anything else to explain?" ”

"No, the general only said that General Qin should return quickly!" Wang Daniu said.

Qin Cheng nodded, and then said to Wang Daniu: "The military situation must be reported to the imperial court, don't delay, I'll wait for you to take a war horse, be careful on the road!" ”

"No!" Wang Da Niu got the military order and hugged his fists and promised.

Qin Cheng pondered: Li Guang doesn't know if he is still in Chang'an, and his letter may not be delivered to him, but even so, this effort still has to be done. Fortunately, I had a fun time with the kid today, otherwise Wang Da Niu would have passed by him. If this is the case, according to the unhurried itinerary of these people, it will take another four days to reach Shanggu, and I am afraid that the daylilies will be cold by then.

"Two hours further on, there is a post station, and there are horses there, and you two will ride the same horse, and when you get there, you will change them. Qingzhi walked with me, and the two of us rushed back to Ueya! Qin Cheng made arrangements for everyone.

Now that the military situation is urgent, the battlefield situation may change irreversibly if it is delayed for a while, and Qin Cheng has to race against time. Qin Cheng and Qin Qingzhi couldn't take care of the speed of two cavalrymen riding the same horse.

"No!" The two pro-soldiers also knew the reason, and they had no opinion on Qin Cheng's arrangement.

Qin Cheng waved his hand, said "go", and stepped on the war horse, leading the way and leaving.

Until Qin Cheng and the others disappeared on this post road, the family of the little boy who had played with Qin Cheng before was still in shock and confusion and did not react.

Qin Cheng stepped on his horse like a fly, Qin Qingzhi followed, and the other two personal soldiers were gradually pulled down.

King Wuhuan led 30,000 troops to attack the upper valley, which was something that Qin Cheng had never thought of at all. Qincheng now knows a little about the Wuhuan tribe, which is a tribe with a small population, and its military strength can only protect itself, and since the founding of the Han Dynasty, it has rarely invaded the border of the Han Dynasty. And I heard that the relationship between Wuhuan and the Xiongnu was not good, and there was no hatred between the Han and Wuhuan, Qin Cheng didn't know why the king of Wuhuan would suddenly lead 30,000 cavalry to attack Shanggu at this time.

But now that things have happened, Qin Cheng can't bother to figure out the reason, the most important thing at the moment is to defeat the army led by King Wuhuan.

The Shanggu military camp now has more than 4,000 cavalry and more than 2,000 infantry vehicles, with a total strength of less than 7,000 troops. With this strength alone, it is an extremely difficult task to defeat the 30,000-strong cavalry of the Wuhuan King, even if the cavalry of Wuhuan is not as elite as the Hun cavalry.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

Qin Cheng felt that this war was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

After traveling for half a day, by the end of the evening, Qin Cheng and Qin Qingzhi had already entered the territory of Changshan County.

Changshan County, roughly located in the area of present-day Shanxi, is here, it is difficult to see the plains, and endless mountains begin to appear on both sides of the post road.
