When the news of Ah Xun came back, Su Ren was finally completely relieved. Although he swore in front of everyone that the Huns must have picked up one, the Huns didn't want to get the answer from the fire and thunder bullet, in fact, they were still a little worried. The ancients must not be all stupid, on the contrary, they are as smart as a carp crossing the river, and there is one of the Huns who are not able to keep it.

Han Qing let out a sigh: "Now Mr. should be relieved, right?" The Huns were rude and despicable, and the thunder bombs were not something they could understand, let alone worry that they would make them. ”

Su Ren shook his head: "You can't say that, although the Huns don't know the secret of the thunder bomb for the time being, no one can keep it in the future, the battlefield is a very strange place, all the advanced weapons are only temporarily advanced, once used, the enemy will inevitably find a way to restrain it, in addition, how do the Huns know that fire is needed to trigger the thunder bomb, this matter must be clarified." ”

"Sir, don't worry, I have ordered Tiangang to step up the investigation." Han Qing paused slightly: "There is one more thing that Mr. needs to know. ”

"What?"

"The dayrat is dead! Killed in the snow of the wasteland, and eaten by wolves, it was determined by the red-haired ghosts who picked up the armbands of the daytime rats in the wasteland, and the corpse was horrific and cremated. ”

Su Ren frowned: "That means Luan Da is still alive?" What do the people of Chang'an have in return? ”

"The people sent back to Chang'an have made sure that Luan Da has not left the palace, and he still preaches alchemy to His Majesty every day, and he has never heard of Luan Da coming out, let alone coming to Yanmen."

"Huh? Is there anyone else? ”

"It shouldn't be, the person who arranged it at Li Shaojun's place said very clearly, the person who met Li Shaojun was Luan Da, and there would never be a mistake." Han Qing also frowned: "The subordinates are also puzzled, I don't know what else we have missed, but don't worry, sir, the subordinates have ordered someone to step up the investigation, and there should be news soon." ”

"This warlock is really ghostly, since they are determined to go against us, then they must be cut off and eradicated, but Li Shaojun and Luan Da must be treated differently, as long as Li Shaojun can act according to our plan, we can let him go, that Luan Da must be found."

"No! Subordinates understand. ”

"By the way, there's no news from the sick side?"

Huo Qu rode on a horse in the wind and snow and struggled forward, the vast wasteland is an unsuitable place for human habitation, according to their marching speed, they can walk eighty miles a day, but in the wasteland, even the surrounding scenery will not change much. The snow hides the shepherds and their livestock well, and no matter how high you stand, it's all white.

The map provided by Soyas was indeed more detailed and accurate than the one he used, but it was still not enough to ensure that the army would not get lost in the steppe desert. Three days ago, they had studied it in a sheltered place, only to realize that they seemed to be lost. Looking at the rough lines and chaotic mountains and rivers on the map, Huo Quzhi remembered what Su Ren and Han Anguo had taught him a lesson.

Su Ren said that as a general, the most important thing is that Ming Shanchuan understands geography and is good at making use of terrain, weather, and even sunshine, rain and dew. Han Anguo said that for the generals, they need to know the affairs of the army, save the hearts of the people, anticipate the enemy's opportunities, and win a big victory. At that time, Huo Quzhi felt that Han Anguo was right, because from the several wars that his uncle Wei Qing told him, it could be seen that his uncle at that time saw through the pitiful tactics of the Hun generals and won a big victory, and the mountains and rivers that Su Ren said were there and would not run, and he would naturally understand when he saw it.

Now it seems that he was wrong, a general who didn't even find the enemy and got lost himself is not a qualified general, as far as they are still fighting with the Huns now, whether they can get out of this wasteland alive depends on God's mood.

"Zhao Poyu!"

"The last general!"

"Have you found your way?"

Zhao Poyu held back for a long time: "General, no, the last general has already sent scouts, and still no similarities have been found on the map." ”

Huo Qu didn't speak for a long time, and quietly looked into the distance: "Judging from the direction of our march, either we are north or west, and send more scouts, the master will not believe that he can't find the Huns." ”

"No!"

The wind and snow were getting heavier and heavier, and the army had to stop and rest again. They were a surprise attack this time, so they didn't bring much dry food, and they originally planned to kill all the way and kill all the way to find food. The grassland should be full of Xiongnu shepherds' tents and cattle and sheep, that is, there is food everywhere, according to their team of 600 people, just find a random herdsman family enough to supply them for more than ten days, now it seems that they are wrong.

The sergeants were very good, and they still silently followed the young general in such a difficult environment, grabbing a handful of snow and stuffing it into their mouths without food, hoping to feel full. They also knew that the little general in front of them had done his best, since they set foot on the grassland, not many people had the hope of survival, they only hoped that they could kill more Huns and live longer, and they hoped that the general would fulfill his promise.

The strength of the soldier exceeded Huo Quzhi's imagination, and the words of encouragement and comfort that had been prepared were never spoken. The means of motivating the soldiers that I learned in Louguan Academy in the past were not played at this time, and if I didn't get it right, it would be self-defeating, and if I really got to the battlefield, the first person to die would be himself. After three more days of walking, the snow finally stopped. A fast horse came running from a distance, and the knight on the horse should be very anxious, even if the horse had done his best, he still kept whipping with his whip.

Zhao Poyu stepped forward and looked at the knight in the distance and said to Huo Quai: "It's our scout, you should find something!" ”

The knight ran to the front, jumped off the horse with a sudden leap, and said excitedly before his breath stabilized: "General, Sima, I have found it!" Got it! ”

Huo Quzhi snorted coldly, and Zhao Poyu whipped it over and whipped it on the knight's shoulder: "What are you panicking about?" Slowly, what did you find? ”

The knight was dressed in an expanded house, and Zhao Poyu's whip skillfully avoided his face, and he knew at a glance that there was no meaning to blame. The knight smiled: "General, Sima, and the brothers found a Xiongnu tribe five miles ahead, with about a dozen herdsmen and thousands of cattle and sheep. ”

The soldiers who heard this opened their eyes one by one, and looked at Huo Quai's illness pitifully. A few of the guys who were about to stuff snow into their mouths hurriedly threw the snow in their hands, their eyes instantly turned red, and they choked and pulled out the big knife on their waists. This posture does not need Huo Quai's order to be ready to rush over.

Zhao Poyu swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "General! We're saved! ”

Huo Quzhi took a deep breath, and the tense nerves that had been tense for so many days could finally relax a little. Stabilized his mind and turned his head: "Did you hear it?" God will not die, I will wait, I don't need the master to tell you all to know what to do? All men who are taller than the wheels will die! Remember, we don't need captives, you know? ”

"Don't take prisoners, understand!"

"Very good, let's go! A stick of incense time to end the battle! ”

Huo Qubing was the first to rush down from the high slope, the first to enter the camp of the Huns, the first to look at the old man who tried to resist, and the first to set fire to the huge pile of hay. The resistance of the Huns seemed crazy, but in front of the even more crazy Han soldiers, it was like a sand castle on the seaside, and it was destroyed without even a wave.

People were killed, livestock were killed, the camp was in shambles, and the soldiers who hadn't had a good time for a long time were so excited that they were outrageous. Huo Qubing didn't care about the soldiers who did wrong, let alone reprimanded the officers who didn't abide by the military rules. The child's cry and the woman's scream penetrated into Huo Quai's ears without leaving a wave. This is the war, and it will be like this when the Huns enter the Han Dynasty, and now they are just an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

A timid Hun was brought to Huo Quai, Zhao Poyu talked to this obscene and timid guy in Xiongnu for a long time, and sighed heavily: "General, we are indeed lost, and it is very serious, three hundred miles to the north." ”

"Where is this?"

"Fifteen miles further north is the Tuotuo River, Yinshan is in our southwest direction, if we start now in such weather, it will take at least half a month." Zhao Poyu smiled: "On the contrary, it is closer to the Xiongnu Wangting Wolf Juxu, and crossing the Tuotuo River is Shan Yu's territory, this guy said that there are more cattle, sheep and livestock over there, as long as we don't kill him, he is willing to lead the way for us." ”

Huo Quzhi glanced at the Hun man, and the man hurriedly lay down and put his head on the ground: "Then how far is this place from the wolf Juxu?" ”

"It takes ten days, and there are many tribes in the middle, this time the Xiongnu did not send many soldiers to participate in the hunting, oh, the Huns will call the war with our Han Dynasty a hunt, so the tribes on the other side of the Tuotuo River have a lot of warriors." Zhao Poyu was taken aback: "General, you won't ......, this, I'm afraid we can't do it, we may ...... if we meet a big tribe."

Huo Quzhi glared at Zhao Poyu: "Master knows, I don't need you to remind me!" I know in my heart, since Yi Zhixian wants to hide behind and watch the excitement, then the master has to go to meet him, don't use such eyes, don't worry, let you see the master's ability, there is no embroidered pillow from Louguan Academy. ”

"Embroidered pillows? What is that? ”

Huo Quzhi waved his hand: "Anyway, it's not a good word, you will understand when you go to the academy in the future, okay, since everything is clear, then eat and drink to recuperate, and let Yi Zhixian also see what is called sparrow warfare and guerrilla warfare!" ”

After Huo Quzhi finished speaking, he flashed out of the tent. Zhao Poyu shouted from behind: "General, what should this guy do?" ”

Huo Quzhi waved his hand, but he didn't look back. Zhao Poyu thought about it, glanced at the Hun lying on the ground, and raised his knife in his hand.
