The sky was gradually breaking, the pale blue sky was studded with a few remnant stars, and the east was revealing the color of a fish's belly, and it was already dawn.

Jiang Wei rode alone and had been tracking for a whole night.

He ran left and right, secretly looking for opportunities to cause chaos, and assassinated nine Qiang people before and after. It's not a lot of people, but it's effective. Panic spread among the Qiang army. It was not easy to prepare the army at night, so Yamuji had to order the troops to gather, find an open area and camp on the spot, and ordered to strengthen the guard.

Jiang Wei knew that there was no chance tonight, so he could only secretly leave far away. And so the night passed.

In the Qiang camp, Yamuji was in a heavy mood and stayed awake all night. While he ordered Denton to scatter his robe in search of the Assassins, he also ordered the wise man Yadan to count the food and grass. Denton searched outside all night, but still hasn't reported back.

This Yadan has been ordered to come to report.

"Your Majesty, the grain and grass have been counted, but fortunately, the Chinese army has put out the rescue in time, and the remaining thirty percent is still enough for the army to spend two days."

"Is it only enough for two days...... Yamuji almost pulled off his sparse beard one by one, and his brow was already wrinkled into the word "Chuan". The cold eyes glanced over, and when he saw that Yadan looked like he wanted to say something, he asked coldly, "Do you want this king to order the withdrawal of the army?" ”

Yadan said respectfully: "The Han people have a saying, called loyalty against the ear. The minister knew that the king was eager for revenge, but the food and grass were short at the moment, so he asked the king to think twice. ”

Yamuji just squinted his eyes and stroked his beard silently.

When Yadan saw him like this, he knew that he had no intention of retreating. His heart is open, and now the army's heart is unstable, and the situation is indeed in a dilemma.

Yadan gritted his teeth and admonished at the moment: "King, the King of Wei also withdrew the Han soldiers and civilians in Yinping, and the local Di people also have no court constraints, you know this." Compared with our Wolf Qiang people, the Yin Ping Di people are even more rampant and rude.

The two places traveled for only five or seven days. Xiaochen heard that the local chieftain of Yinping has always been ambitious, and he has long had the intention of encroaching on Wudu, and the reason why he did not move his troops before was nothing more than to see that my wolf troops were strong and strong, and he didn't dare to do it for a while.

Our army rushed to make a move this time, and if it is not expensive, I am afraid that I will have worries. His words can be said to be far-sighted and heartfelt, and he is indeed worthy of the title of chief thinker.

Yamuji didn't answer him directly, but asked directly: "If there are reinforcements from the direction of Yangping Pass, how long will it take?" ”

Yadan sighed secretly in his heart, but the lord asked, and he had to reply: "Yangping Pass is still one hundred and fifty miles away from here, such as cavalry day and night, day and night. ”

Yamuji patted Yadan on the shoulder and sighed, "How can this king not know about your worries? It's just that at the moment, this king is leading a large army to chase and suppress a few thieves, and if he makes a fuss and loses his troops and returns, there will be more than a few people who will not obey in the future. ”

Since ancient times, the Qiang people have regarded the capable as the king, and Yamuji is now prestigious, and the army is strong, so that he can be in the position of the lord of the wolf and Qiang. What he disobeyed was the rest of the ambitious tribal leaders, who were now forced to serve him because of the prestige of Yamuji's troops, but they would inevitably suddenly attack when the situation changed.

Yadan suddenly realized: "I see, it is the minister who is not thoughtful, please forgive the king." ”

Yamuji pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Jiang Wei, this thief, should not find out about our army's tracking until last night and evening at the earliest, if this thief sent someone to Yangping Pass to ask for help yesterday, it will take two days and two nights to go back and forth at the earliest." In this way, our army will chase for another day. If nothing is found at night, it is not too late to discuss the withdrawal of the army. Although he looked at discussing with Yadan, his tone was extremely resolute, and he looked like he could not refuse.

Yadan bowed his head at the moment, and his heart could only be like this.

While the two were talking, Danton led three men dressed as hunters to ride to the Chinese military tent and saluted Yamuji together.

"Your Majesty, these are our hunters, who are famous for raising hounds, and they are also here with the army this time. Then I ordered him to take his hounds to the abandoned carriage and sniff them out. The smell of the Han people is different from that of our people, and if you get the help of the hounds, it will have a miraculous effect! ”

Yamuji was overjoyed when he heard this, and his brows in the shape of "Chuan" finally bloomed, and he said happily: "Good, good!" Well done Denton! If Jiang Wei is captured, this king should be rewarded! ”

His expression was dazed, and he drank: "Order, the army is out!" ”

******

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, this is an eternal truth.

Jiang Wei remembered the mantra taught in the previous geography class, "go up to the north and go down to the south, left to the west, right to the east", and find the direction of the rising sun, and the east can be determined. In turn, the reference is made, and the south is also quickly deduced. At this time, he was facing the rising sun, and he was walking along the water in a southeasterly direction.

After a night of tossing, and the rice and water did not enter, Jiang Wei was hungry in his stomach, and he looked at his mount Xiaobai also looked listless.

He led the horse to the river and drank bitterly. He picked up a branch the size of an arm's arm on the ground, and without taking off his shoes, he stepped straight into the shallows of the river, ready to catch fish and eat.

At that time, the northwest border was repeatedly warned, and the population was greatly reduced, and for the people, the battlefield was tantamount to purgatory on earth. But for the fish in the river, it is not a good thing, these years there are fewer fishers, the fish in the rivers, lakes and seas have no enemies for a while, but they have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Jiang Wei stood in the water, the water was almost as deep as his feet, he picked up the splash, drenched the blood on his body roughly, and stood still with the stick in both hands.

Blood soaked into the water and immediately seeped out. After a while, a few fat-headed and fat-brained fish smelled the fishy smell, smashed their mouths, and swam with their tails wagging their tails, but as for someone standing on the river, they were not alert.

Jiang Wei waited for it to enter the attack range, and then swung it downward. The river was shallow, and he swung his stick faster than lightning. With just one stick, two fish were hit, and they immediately turned over to reveal their white stomachs. The rest of the fish were frightened and scattered.

Jiang Wei threw the wooden stick, one in each hand, and picked up the two fat fish in the river. weighed twice, one was about two catties big, and the other was about one and a half catties. Careful inspection, the two fish have brown and yellow bodies, gray-white bellies, very small round scales, and irregular dark brown patches on the sides of the body.

He hurried ashore, pulled out a dagger from his bosom, and began to process the fish. In his previous life, he was a veteran of eating sashimi, and it was really easy to get these few catties of river fish.

He plunged the dagger through the back of the fish's gills, cut the flesh into thin slices, and then put it into his mouth and chewed it heavily. Because of its freshness, the mandarin fish fillet has a firm texture, less prickly meat, and white and fatty meat, which is exactly the same as the salmon sashimi that became popular in later generations. In comparison, it is a little less fat and more refreshing.

In fact, sashimi is the name that came from the island country in later generations, and the raw fish fillet was called "guan" in China, which was present in the pre-Qin era. In the Three Kingdoms era, it was already a well-known dish.

Among them, Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong, the people of Xuzhou's lakes and seas, are most famous for their love of food. He is also the first celebrity recorded in history to die of a parasite due to his addiction to sashimi. Raw fish is a kind of food, which is beautiful, and can only be tasted lightly, not eaten more.

Jiang Wei can't care about this at the moment, and with the kung fu of the small half-pillar incense, three or two catties of fish meat have already turned into his stomach.

After Xiaobai drank the water of the river, he gnawed on the grass on the side.

Jiang Wei got up, took the water bladder from the saddle, and poured a big gulp of "coo" at the moment. After this short break, he let out a long breath, and his spirit suddenly lifted.

He has never been afraid to speculate on the enemy with the greatest malice, and secretly thinks that it is not easy for Yamuji to become the king of the wolf. This time he suffered such a big loss, and he would never withdraw his troops easily, and he would definitely pursue it to the end.

However, because the grain and grass were burned, the longer Yamuji's pursuit dragged on, the more beneficial it would be for him. The Qiang people could rely on hunting to supplement their military rations, but it was not a long-term solution. Once the supply of military rations is insufficient, the morale of the military will inevitably change.

According to his estimates, Yamuji's mentality at this moment should be as good as that of a gambler.

After resting, Jiang Wei ** held the neck of the white horse and said softly: "Xiaobai, Xiaobai, this time I really worked hard for you, hold on for another day and night, and when you arrive at Yangping Pass, I will invite you to drink." Jiang Xiaobai seemed to understand the master's words, holding a huge horse's head high, and screaming "sigh and law", and he had returned to his usual appearance.

After these few days of running-in, Jiang Wei has formed a tacit understanding with the white horse under the seat, and he can capture Xiaobai's joys, sorrows, and sorrows. Similarly, he also determined that Xiaobai could accurately perceive his intentions through actions such as kicking and lifting the reins. One person and one horse, communication is unhindered, and it is one, reaching the realm of unity of man and horse.

When the east was already transparent, Jiang Wei set the direction, turned over and got on the horse, and left slowly.

Xu was just full of stomachs, and he didn't have a good rest for two days and two nights, and when he relaxed a little at this time, he was faintly sleepy.

When he saw that Xiaobai was going in the right direction, he wanted to close his eyes and pretend to sleep for a while. Who knew that the "fake sleep" was only half a cup of tea, Jiang Wei lay on the horse's back, and really fell asleep.

He had a dream.

He dreamed that the remnant sun was like blood, the heavens and the earth were dark red, and his mother, Jiang Wen, Jiang Wu, and Aunt Yang were standing in the distance trembling, and they couldn't see their faces clearly in their eagerness. I wanted to go to the convergence, but I was surrounded by a group of Qiang people.

The Qiang people are numerous, and they are all expressionless, and they can't kill them anyway. finally found a gap and came out of the encirclement. Going around and around along the way, he was targeted by a group of grinning dogs from afar.

After chasing for a long time, the vicious dog suddenly jumped up and bit Xiaobai's hind legs, Xiaobai was in pain, his footing was unstable, and he fell down with a hiss. I was also thrown out.

Seeing that he was about to fall to the ground, Jiang Wei woke up and sat up on horseback suddenly, sweating profusely.

He turned to look around, only to see that the surrounding mountains were dangerous, and the depressed water passed through the mountains like a jade belt, leaving only a narrow river valley road for people to pass.

At this time, Jiang Wei was riding a horse and galloping in this narrow river valley. Looking up at the sky, it was the middle of the day, and there was still no one around, only the barking of dogs could be heard in the distance.

Jiang Wei couldn't help but pat his chest while secretly laughing at the enemy's current situation, he could still fall asleep, glad that it was just a nightmare.

Suddenly, he suddenly noticed something wrong, and said in his heart: "Why is there a sound of dogs barking in the barren mountains and mountains?" "Suddenly there was a sense of vigilance.
