After Li Yan and his entourage left, more than an hour later, hundreds of iron horsemen chased after them.

These Huns were chased from Guzang, and the leader was General Gu of Guzang City, who was the most trusted confidant of Fuqu Mashiko, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a fierce appearance with a hooked nose.

"General, Xiliang Li Yan and his entourage should have just left, and the horse manure on the ground is still warm." A Hun looked at the horse manure on the ground, ran to General Gu's side and said.

"From here to the west is the only way through the West Sea, and your general is really setting up an ambush on the way through the Black Rock Cliff?" General Gu looked back at a sergeant in black armor behind him and asked.

"General Gu, before leaving, my general specially asked me to come and inform General Gu that the five hundred sergeants of my general had gone to the direction of the Black Stone Cliff yesterday, and they were waiting for the arrival of Li Yan and his party at the moment to avenge the dead Daliang warriors." The black-armored sergeant dismounted and saluted General Gu.

"Good. The whole army accelerated its advance, and this time it was determined that the dog thief of Xiliang Li Yan would pay for his blood debts. Sacrifice his head to the spirit of my Great Liang warrior in the sky. General Gu gritted his teeth and said.

Few people know that General Gu and Tuohemu, the leader of the Dragon and Tiger Guards, are half-brothers, and when Tuohemu led the Dragon and Tiger Guards to chase and kill Li Yan half a year ago, he was ambushed by Xu Xian, the Taishou of Qilian, and killed Tuohemu by mistake. General Gu has already calculated this account on Li Yan's head, how can he not repay the revenge of killing his brother.

Five hundred Hun cavalry, one man and two horses, galloped away to the west.

It was getting dark.

Li Yan and his entourage finally crossed the desert, and they could already see a large area of grassland in front of them, and the green pasture grass was endless.

This place has entered the territory of the Rouran people, and the war horses, which were already physically exhausted, neighed excitedly when they saw the grass on the grass.

Li Yan dismounted and lay on the grass, escaping for several days in a row, eating sand and dust for several days, and finally being safe at this moment.

"General, in the past, as long as you entered the territory of Rouran, there were Rouran spies who came to inquire about the news, but now you have penetrated more than 20 miles into Rouran and found no Rouran people, this is really strange."

"Haha. This is already a tribal fief of Hu Lu, and now Hu Lu has just succeeded to the khan, I am afraid that Hu Lu's army has all gone to the royal court, and have a good night's rest, these war horses will flee with me all the way, let them recover their strength, and return to the West Sea early tomorrow morning. Li Yan closed his eyes and replied while lying on the grass.

"Yes. Checkmate. ”

Under the night sky, Wei Liang asked people to find hay and dry thorns to make a fire, and lit a bonfire, the night was extremely cold, and it was difficult to survive until dawn if you didn't make a fire, and then you could make a fire that the wolf didn't dare to approach.

In the middle of the night, several hungry wolves howled, and the wolf howls could be heard one after another on the calm grassland, but they did not dare to approach Li Yan and his party.

Blackstone Cliffs.

A year ago, Li Yan had wiped out more than 2,000 cavalry of Fuqu Yihe here, and since then Li Yan's hatred with the Huns has become deeper and deeper.

Under a valley more than thirty miles east of the Black Rock Cliff, thousands of Huns were stationed. The tents on the ground were all in one piece.

In the big tent of the Huns, several Huns in black armor were scolding loudly.

Zang Mozi led five hundred Hun soldiers to ambush here for a day and a night, originally thinking that this ambush Li Yan and his party would be nine out of ten, but he didn't expect that it was General Gu's Gu Zang's pursuers who were waiting before dark, and Li Yan and his party were gone.

"General Gu, what about Li Yan and his party? You have lost it, and 500 cavalry chased and killed dozens of people by others, what kind of face do you have to explain to the king? Zang Mozi scolded loudly.

"The auxiliary general, please calm his anger, this general will be derelict in his duty and will ask the king for his guilt." General Gu saluted Zang Mozi and said in a low voice.

"That's it. Ben will return in vain this time, and he is ashamed of his trust in the king. Li Yan'er, greedy for death and afraid of death, scheming, I am afraid that he has entered the territory of the Rouran people and entered the West Sea from the north, let him live for a few more days for the time being. When the king subdues the Xianbei people, he will lead the army to set foot in Xiliang. Zang Mozi tore off a leg of mutton and ate it in a big gulp.

"General Fuguo, let go of Li Yan and his party this time, the general will not be able to escape the blame, Guzang City is now facing huge pressure, the bald Xianbei and the begging Xianbei are eyeing each other, and the general will leave first." General Gu got up and hugged his fist at Zang Mozi and said.

"In that case, Ben Jiang will not keep you, and Ben will return to Xijun early tomorrow morning." Zang Mozi glanced up at General Gu, waved his hand and said.

"Retire."

General Gu withdrew from the big tent as he spoke, and led his cavalry to the southeast overnight.

Early the next morning, Zang Mozi returned to Xijun from the camp, and along the way, Zang Moha's face was gloomy and his expression was displeased.

Li Yan and his entourage rushed to the West Sea with the blood wolf guard at dawn, and after a night's rest, although their stomachs were rumbling now, they had run out of food last night. Neither dry food nor water is gone.

"General, this place is still more than a hundred miles away from Xihai City, if it's fast, you need to get back when it's dark, I just don't know if the brothers can support it." Wei Liang saluted Li Yan and said.

"Let the brothers hold on for a while, and return to the West Sea for them to eat." Li Yan also felt very hungry and didn't eat all night.

These horses ate the grass overnight, and now they are much faster than they were in the desert. Green pastures can be seen everywhere along the way, which shows that this year's rain is also abundant.

Li Yan looked at the endless grassland, and his heart was full of emotion, whether it was the Xiongnu hundreds of years ago, or today's Rouran, even in later generations, the strong people born on this grassland have always troubled the Central Plains Dynasty.

Whenever the Central Plains Dynasty was strong, the tribes on the grassland chose to surrender, but when the Central Plains Dynasty declined or could not manage the prairie, the northern grassland became a nightmare for the Central Plains Dynasty. Rebellion, and so on.

The blood wolf guard on horseback let the war horse carry it towards Xihai City in the southwest direction, without water and food for a day and a night, everyone's lips have begun to turn white and chapped.

"General, there are still fifty miles to Xihai City, and Juyanze is not far ahead." Wei Liang looked ahead and said loudly.

"Okay." Li Yan nodded, and when he arrived at Juyanze, he was not far from Xihai City.

Suddenly, dozens of cavalry appeared in front of him and rushed towards Li Yan and his party.

"Prepare for battle." Wei Liang drew his sword and looked at the cavalry rushing towards him, and ordered the blood wolf guard behind him.

Although these blood wolf guards were already thirsty and hungry, they still forcibly drew their horizontal knives and waited for them.

"Who are you? Dare to trespass on my Daliang West Sea realm. The people who came were all armed with big knives, and instantly surrounded Li Yan and his party.

"Bold! General Pingbei is here. Don't hurry up and get off the horse to meet General Pingbei. Wei Liang saw that the person who came was a sergeant of the Zhenbei Army, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"This ~ General Li Yan is not already ~ " The people who came looked at Wei Liang and hesitated. Wei Liang has rarely appeared in Xihai City since he was selected into the Blood Wolf Guard, so these Zhenbei troops don't know Wei Liang at all.

"I'm Li Yan." Li Yan rode out of the Blood Wolf Guard.

"Ah~ It's really General Li. It's great that General Lee is still alive. Of course, these Zhenbei armies knew about Li Yan, and the northern armies in Xihai City and Jiuquan Town defeated the Huns again and again under the leadership of Li Yan.

"I've seen the general." Everyone in the Zhenbei Army dismounted and saluted Li Yan.

"Alright. No need to be polite. Hurry back to Xihai City, and say that I, Li Yan, are back. ”

"Yes. Checkmate. ”
