Chapter 589: A Glimmer of Hope
Wanyan Guer's words directly eliminated all the concerns in Wu Sangui's heart, and it was obvious that Huang Taiji was taking his problem seriously this time. not only withdrew Wanyan Gusu who was almost bad at the first time, but also asked subordinates like Wanyan Gul to come and assist him in his errands.
For the next situation, Wu Sangui is already much more sure, and he is not so pessimistic about the prospect.
Wu Sangui thought for a moment before he spoke to Wanyan Guer: "General Gusu's previous actions must have attracted the attention of the Dongjiang Army, if this king is not mistaken, there must be people sent by Mao Wenlong in Tashan who are looking for our traces." ”
Wanyan Gul nodded and said: "What the prince said is not bad, if the prince has any ideas next, you may wish to say it, and we will discuss it well." ”
Wu Sangui laughed and said, "We definitely can't stay here for a long time, we must move to a safe enough place as soon as possible." Then it's not too late to talk about other things while it's safe to do so. ”
After Yan Gusu heard this, he directly said: "Since the prince has a plan in his heart, then he will do what you say, and the general will never interfere." ”
Wu Sangui laughed and said, "It's enough to have a general. ”
The matter of transferring the hiding place was urgent, and Wu Sangui did not follow Yan Gusu politely, even if he ordered to pack up that day, a thousand people would immediately go on the road.
The longer Adou stayed in Tower Hill, the more impatient his heart became, and he no longer had the peace he had before. It has been two full days since the twenty people entered Tower Mountain, but there is still nothing to be found, which is a big blow to Adou.
On the contrary, they began to get used to the predicament in front of them, and they had not complained about the harsh environment they were in for a day. Adou knows very well that it's not that they don't complain, they just don't want to see themselves in a hurry.
Hammer saw that Adou was sulking at himself, and couldn't help but step forward and persuade: "Adou, don't worry, as long as those damn rats are still in this tower mountain, we will always find out." ”
Facing the comfort of the hammer, Adou's heart warmed slightly, and he gave him a grateful look: "Thank you, Brother Hammer, but we don't have much time, and if we continue to spend it like this, I'm afraid it will delay the matter of going back to Jiuzhaigou when the time comes." ”
Uncle Guan didn't know when he appeared behind the two of them, and he suddenly said: "You don't have to remember the matter of Jiuzhaigou, taking care of the present is the most important thing." Zhao Lao didn't come with him, do you think he refused to go out of the mountain again? Wrong, he just went back to Jiuzhaigou to sit in the town, what are you worried about with him? ”
After Adou heard this, he suddenly came over: "I see! ”
Uncle Guan pouted and said, "Now think about it, there is any other place in this tower mountain that could be a hiding place for the enemy army." According to that Chen Jisheng's statement, the enemy troops in Tashan should be at least more than 1,000 people, and there is no reason why they will not leave any traces. ”
After Uncle Guan mentioned this, Adou immediately thought about it carefully, and after a while, he patted his head and said in surprise: "I thought of it, there is a place in this tower mountain that is very likely to be the enemy's hideout!" ”
Uncle Guan directly smashed a fist on Adou's chest, and said viciously: "Then what are you waiting for, lead the way ahead." ”
Adou didn't dare to make any dodge moves, and was punched by Uncle Guan, but fortunately, Uncle Guan didn't use his strength. He nodded, immediately greeted everyone loudly, and then led the way in front, leading everyone to the cave where Wu Sangui and the others were hiding.
Pushing aside the bushes in front of them, Adou and the others soon appeared at the mouth of the cave below the cliff. Siye was empty, and he didn't feel the slightest popularity, and a trace of disappointment flashed in Adou's eyes, but he still took out the dagger he carried with him.
The others also showed their weapons, and twenty people quickly surrounded the mouth of the cave, and then quietly observed for a while. Ah Doucai and Uncle Guan quietly entered the cave to check.
As soon as they entered the cave, the two of them quickly discovered the traces left by Wu Sangui and their activities, and Adou frowned and said, "It seems that we are still a step late, and they should have left a long time ago." ”
Uncle Guan was standing in the middle of the cave hall at this moment, and in front of him was the small pit of the fire that had only ashes left. He reached out and gently touched the ashes left after the burning, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's not too late, these ashes still have a little bit of temperature now, so they shouldn't be away for more than a day." As long as we can find the direction in which they are leaving, there will be a good chance of catching up. ”
Adou was stunned for a moment, and then quickly checked the remaining ashes. Sure enough, as Uncle Guan said just now, Adou was immediately overjoyed: "There is really a little bit of residual warmth." ”
Uncle Guan chuckled, and then shouted outside the cave, "Come in!" ”
Hammer and the others soon entered the cave one after another, and Uncle Guan explained it himself, and then ordered everyone to look for any available clues separately.
The twenty men soon began to search the cave, and as they investigated carefully, they soon found many useful traces. After summing up, it was already certain that Wu Sangui was leaving from the east and west. Moreover, judging from the traces in the cave, Adou can already be sure that the person who stayed here is undoubtedly Jin Bing.
Now that they have found a clue, Adou and they naturally did not delay and immediately tracked it down.
Wu Sangui never expected that he expected that Mao Wenlong would send someone to investigate, but he still didn't expect it to come so quickly. So much so that now they are bitten by Adou and others, and they are constantly catching up, but they don't know it.
Facing the howling cold wind and blizzard, Wu Sangui and the others marched with difficulty in the jungle of Tashan. There were no war horses and no auxiliary tools to use, and the only thing they could use was the pair of legs, deep and shallow, and they walked forward with difficulty.
In order to avoid Tashanwei's Dongjiang army, Wu Sangui and his team had to bypass directly in the jungle, and they only advanced less than three thousand meters in a day's journey. Some of the golden soldiers had begun to suffer from frostbite, and the pace of the march was getting slower.
"Lord Wang, how long is it to reach the destination?" Wanyan Gusu saw that his subordinates had suffered casualties, and he had begun to get impatient.
"General Gusu, don't be impatient, now we have just completed half of the journey, and this time our destination is 30,000 Wei. It is located in a deserted place, and the Dongjiang Army has not yet garrisoned there. The king has already sent people to contact the king's old department, and they are already waiting for us. Wu Sangui looked up at the vast snow-capped mountains, and his heart was equally bitter.
