Bendu took his men and horses to pursue the cadres led by Chang Kuntong, and the men and horses of Rouran Khan Tuhezhen were resting and preparing to pursue the cadres.

After resting for more than an hour, Tuga Zhen was ready to order the army to assemble and set off to pursue the cadre army, and each Rouran army should not be too far apart, otherwise it would be easy for them to break through once the cadre army turned around.

At this time, the soldiers came to report: "Khan, Khuhehan has arrived with men and horses!" ”

When the national teacher Tan Wuye heard this, he stepped forward and suggested: "Khan, it's better to let Kuhehan take his men and horses to pursue first, and the Khan's men and horses will stay for an hour or two more, and wait for Abu Ganyuan and Ku Renzhi's men and horses to arrive and set off!" ”

Toga really understood what Tan Wuye meant, and wanted him to preserve his strength. As a khan, he set off with 40,000 cavalry, of which 20,000 were led by Qilie, and he himself led 20,000, but the 20,000 horses of Qiliegui had been wiped out by the Qianjun, and his 20,000 horses because of the ambush of Xue Andu's army a few days ago, although he annihilated more than 10,000 people and horses of Xue Andu, he also lost nearly 10,000 on his own side, which can be described as a tragic victory, so up to now, he only has more than 10,000 troops in his hands, which is his descendant, and the other soldiers and horses are the soldiers and horses of the nobles of various tribes, with obvious differences between relatives and relatives.

Tuga is really a khan, but he is also a human being, and he also has selfish intentions, if he, the khan, can directly mobilize too few soldiers and horses, I am afraid that his position as a khan will not be kept.

"Okay, then after the soldiers and horses of Abu Ganyuan and Ku Renzhi arrive, I am leading the troops to pursue the Qianjun, this time should not be too long, at most they can arrive before dusk, so that the speed of the army should not be able to catch up with the front of the Qianjun within a day!"

After receiving Tuhezhen's order, Kuhehan did not hesitate or think too much, and followed the trail left by the cadres with his soldiers and horses.

After another hour, Abu Ganyuan arrived with his 7,000 men and went to meet the khan Tuhezhen, who asked him if he had any contact with Kurenzhi.

Abu Ganyuan shook his head and said that Ku Renzhi didn't send anyone to contact him for a day today, Tuhe Zhen was a little puzzled in his heart, how could Ku Renzhi's caution not contact Abu Ganyuan all the time, did he think that there was no danger in the rear anymore, so he simply didn't contact?

Tuhe Zhen thought about it for a while and said to Abu Ganyuan: "Your men and horses are the closest to Ku Renzhi, and he has not contacted you until now, which makes me very uneasy, but he has already told him to bring people to pursue the main force of the cadre army, and their strength is still a little weak, so let's do it, you take your men and horses to catch up with them first, once the fight starts, you have to take your people to arrive quickly, don't resist the dry army before I bring the troops to arrive, just drag them down, I want to stay and wait for Ku Renzhi, If he hadn't arrived with his troops before dusk, I'd just be afraid I'd have to send someone to find him!" ”

Abu Ganyuan promised: "Yes, Khan! ”

The desert is lonely, and the sun sets over the long river.

The dusk on the grassland is extremely beautiful, but unfortunately Toga is not in the mood to enjoy the scene of the sunset shining on the earth at this time.

It was almost dark, and Ku Renzhi still didn't bring anyone to converge, with the distance from Ku Renzhi's army to the Shan Khan Mountain, as long as there was no accident, they would definitely be able to arrive before dusk, but the actual situation was that until now Ku Renzhi's men and horses were still nowhere to be seen.

Tan Wuye walked up to Toga Zhen and asked, "Is the Khan really worried that something will happen to Kurenzhi's army?" ”

Toga Zhen said: "National teacher, I have a bad premonition! Zhao Junsheng, the founding emperor of a generation, if he is so easy to deal with, can he establish this huge Qianguo? Although the Qianguo was established by Zhao Junsheng through chickens and eggs, he also cut it out with real knives and real guns, which is not the slightest bit of water! I feel like we've probably fallen into Zhao Junsheng's trap! ”

Tan Wuye thought for a moment and said to Tuga Zhen: "The wolf pack tactics are a very powerful tactics, even if they are a large number and powerful army, if its commander is not familiar with this tactics, once the opponent attacks with the wolf pack tactics, it will be very helpless and in a hurry, if it is messed up, it can be easily eaten up by the opponent step by step!" ”

"However, to perform the wolf pack tactics, many conditions must be met, the various departments must be able to reinforce in time, the departments must have flexible mobility, the information must be well-informed enough, and the departments must have strong execution capabilities, if there are some problems in these conditions, it is easy to expose the flaws, once the enemy catches the flaws, the enemy will concentrate his forces to break them!"

Tuhe Zhen asked: "Does the national teacher mean that Zhao Junsheng, the commander of the cadre army, is familiar with our wolf pack tactics?" ”

"The poor monk thinks about it now, he should know the wolf pack tactics, at least he should know it! Khan, please think about it, he may have sensed that something was wrong when he stopped advancing in front of Junji Mountain, and sent detective posts to reconnoiter around, and our troops immediately couldn't hide, and then the Khan ordered all the troops to gradually move closer to him and prepare to launch a wolf pack tactics to attack him, but Zhao Junsheng suddenly sent Xue Andu to raid Qiliegui overnight, he did not send troops to raid the nearest Kuhehan, but to raid the farthest Qiliegui, this is not exactly the idea of planning to break each one? ”

"The Qianguo people are good at trickery, and the poor monk assumes that if the Qianguo army that has withdrawn to the south is just a partial division, with a small number of people, the purpose is to attract our attention and provide cover for the movement of their main army, in fact, they have already divided their troops when they withdraw here, then once their main force finds Ku Renzhi's men, Ku Renzhi will be very dangerous!"

"Also, Bendu, Khuhehan and Abu Ganyuan have all left with people, and there are only 10,000 of us left in this Bahan Mountain, if the cadres pounce on it······"

Tuhe Zhen's face changed, and he immediately said: "We can't be left alone, if Ku Renzhi's men and horses have encountered an accident at this time, we will not have any advantage over the Shangqian army in terms of troops, and we only have 10,000 horses here, if we really want to meet Zhao Junsheng's main force, I am afraid that there will be fewer victories and more defeats!" Come, come, pass on the order of the Khan, send fast horses to chase Abu Ganyun, Khuhehan and Bendu, and let them quickly turn around and come to converge! ”

Soon after Toga's order was given, several ministers came to inquire about the situation.

"Khan, why did you order Bendu, Khuhehan, and Abu Ganyun to lead their armies back?"

Toga said: "Kurenzhi's men and horses have not yet come to converge, I am worried that something will happen to him and his men, if this is the case, we are likely to fall into the trap of the cadres!" We can't be scattered anymore, it's easy to be broken by the cadres and the army! ”

One of the ministers said, "Khan, have you sent someone to investigate?" Found the bodies of Kuren Nao and his men? If it's just speculation, I don't think it's child's play for the khan to give such an order? Do you wait for the news to be confirmed before giving an order? ”

The national teacher Tan Wuye said: "No, if we wait until the news is confirmed, it will be too late, no one knows if other things will happen in the middle, and we can't have any more senseless losses!" ”

The ministers looked at each other and said nothing.

In the middle of the night, Abu Ganyuan, who had set out last, was found by the messenger, and after receiving the order, he quickly turned around and returned to the Bahan Mountain, but he set out early, and there were no street lights, no roads, and no navigation in the vast grassland, and the messenger could not find them at all, until the next morning, not only did the two men and horses not return, but even the messenger who was sent to find them did not turn back.

"Khan don't worry, there are too many uncertain factors in the night message, the messenger may be lost, and after dawn they will find a way to find Bendu and Khuhehan!"

Tuga Zhen nodded, "Someone, send a team of sentry horsemen to the north to reconnoiter and find the whereabouts of Kurenzhi and his army!" ”

Although Toga Zhen and the others had realized that Ku Renzhi and his 10,000-strong army might have encountered an accident, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they were still unwilling, and they always had some hope in their hearts.

At this time, the sky that had been gloomy for a day finally began to rain, and at first it was only a light drizzle, but the rain became heavier and heavier, and there was a faint meaning that it could not be stopped.

This was not good for the Rouran people, and the Rouran outpost who was sent out to search for Ku Renzhi and his army was drenched and soaked, and the search had to be stopped.

In terms of equipment, the cadres are much stronger, and each of the cadres and generals is equipped with an oilcloth to prevent rain, which can be draped over their bodies to protect them from the wind and rain to a certain extent.

That afternoon, Zhao Junsheng, who was sheltering from the wind and rain in the mountain col, stood at the door of the camp and looked up at the sky where it was still raining, and he immediately summoned Na Yan: "Do you think that in this kind of weather, will the sentry of the Rouran people go out to reconnoitre?" ”

Na Yan shook his head: "Probably not, they don't have waterproof rain gear, this kind of weather is easy to be infected with wind chill when it rains outside for a long time, this will kill people, everyone hides!" ”

Zhao Junsheng ordered: "Send rain gear to the brothers in the scout camp, let them bring enough dry food, and go to find out where the Rouran people are, I suspect that some of them should be in the Yakhan Mountain!" ”

"No!"

The rain fell for two days, and the Rouran army, including the scouts, could only hide in the camp tent to avoid the rain, and could not go anywhere, but the Qianjun scouts were not idle, they wrapped their bodies in rain gear, rode horses and galloped on the grassland, and easily infiltrated the side of the Rouran people.

Zhao Junsheng quickly got the relevant report, "Your Majesty, the spies have found two Rouran armies in the Rouran Mountains, one of which is the Rouran Khan Tuhe Zhen, and the other is the leader of the other tribe, Abu Ganyuan!" There are also two Rouran cavalry of Bendu and Kuhehan, who are nowhere to be seen, they should be chasing General Chang Kun's men and horses! ”

Zhao Junsheng pondered for a moment, looked at the other ministers and generals accompanying the army, and asked, "Now we still have 18,000 people, and the Rouran army in Bahan Mountain has a total of 17,000 people, if we go head-to-head, what are our chances of winning?" ”
