Liu Che didn't expect that just a spy operation he quietly launched would cause a series of chain reactions. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In general, the army cannot be mobilized without the Tiger Talisman. Ke Yanming led the Hu Cavalry Captain Army, which was only one of the eight Captains of Chang'an. Since it was assigned to Yan Ming, Empress Dowager Dou has not paid much attention to Yan Ming's side.

Among all the commanders of the school captains, only Yan Ming was the youngest and the most jumpy, and he had no experience in fighting at all. No one expected that Yan Ming, who was inexperienced, the youngest Yan Ming, would take away all the Hu Qi lieutenants with one stroke.

From Maoling, the northwest galloped all the way, and soon left the jurisdiction of Chang'an and entered Beidi County. It is often referred to in history as the Shuofang area. Further north, there is the Hetao area on the north and south banks of the Yellow River.

Every year, after the Yellow River rises and retreats, it leaves behind a large area of fertile soil. This natural fertile field does not even need to be fertilized to grow the best crops.

It is precisely because of this fertile soil that it has become the place where the Han and Xiongnu fought the most. At this time, the Hetao area was more in the hands of the Xiongnu. Even if the place is not controlled by the Xiongnu, it will be constantly harassed by the Xiongnu cavalry during the autumn harvest.

Among the hundred people led by Yan Ming, most of them were people who were proficient in tracking and spying. Through clues along the way, they confirmed the direction in which Gongsun Ao, Wei Qing and others were heading.

After two days of marching, the people led by Yan Ming had crossed Henan and arrived at Shuofang City. At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, had not yet grasped real power and began to fight a large-scale war with the Xiongnu. The historical Shuofang City is just an earthen city at the moment, not much bigger than Maolingtun.

The low earthen walls and earthen houses inside make this Shuofang city extremely dilapidated.

To the west of Shuofang City is the famous Helan Mountain, and on the back, is Yin Mountain!

More than 20 people led by Gongsun Ao and Wei Qing passed through the gap between Helan Mountain and Yin Mountain and entered the territory of the Xiongnu.

"Set up a long car and step through the lack of Helan Mountain. Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Xiongnu blood. Brothers, raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a while. In principle, we are quietly going over to spy on the military situation and protect General Gongsun Ao. But once you really meet the Huns, no one should be soft. Remember, wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, and dogs travel thousands of miles to eat. Whether it's a wolf or a dog, choose for yourself! Yan Ming rode on a horse, and the stability of the saddle made his general riding skills extremely stable. The long swallow knife straddled his waist, but he had the appearance of a majestic general.

Chengxin was beside him, and he also carried a swallow knife on his waist, and he was dressed in cloth but not replaced with armor, which looked a little different.

"Master Hou, your sentence 'set up a long car, stepping through the lack of Helan Mountain, ambitious to eat Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty to drink Hun blood' is really domineering, we are all wolves, who fucking eats shit and who is not born by mother!" The petty officer laughed loudly.

Yan Ming looked at it and recognized this person, it was Wang Dajian. Next to him, Lou Xiaowu also said with a smile: "If you don't eat meat, go eat, it's not a brain disease." ”

"Okay, today we will bypass Shuofang City and enter the Xiongnu territory. Once entering the territory of the Xiongnu, in order to cover up their whereabouts, the Huns they encountered were killed. Yan Ming roared.

In Captain Hu Cai's army, the young soldiers have never experienced a real war, and like Yan Ming, their blood is boiling. And those veterans who had experienced the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, knowing the horror of war and the insignificance of human life, naturally did not cheer, but just silently rode on their war horses, holding their swallow swords in their hands.

"Master Hou, say something that doesn't matter. When we enter the Xiongnu territory, it's better for our group of old guys to be in front. A middle-aged man with a scar on his face and a dignified expression said.

Yan Ming looked at this man, it was none other than Su Jian, a fierce general in the army of Captain Hu Cai. This guy is not ordinary, his second son is the Su Wu who has been herding sheep in Beihai for 19 years.

Of course, Su Wu is still a little kid the same size as Li Ling, and the future path is still unknown.

"Okay, just do what Su Jian said. The old man brings the newcomer. "In war, Yan Ming is a blank slate. Although I have also seen blood and fought. But if he really kills people with a knife, he is still a little uncomfortable with this, and it is best to have someone like Su Jian to lead.

Su Jian was very skilled in dividing the people led by Yan Ming into a team of five. In each squad, there are two veterans with combat experience.

Even petty officers like Wang Dajian and Lou Xiaowu, who performed well during training, turned out to be recruits with no combat experience.

Yan Ming was protected by Chengxin and three veterans. Su Jian arranged his group in the center of the team, and the intention of protection was obvious.

The distant mountain looks close, but when you walk, it is always so far away, it doesn't seem to be getting closer at all.

Yan Ming touched the dry pancakes in the marching bag, and suddenly felt that he had forgotten something. When I come back this time, be sure to make some compressed food. Otherwise it's too inconvenient.

After another day's march, the hundred people led by Yan Ming finally crossed Helan Mountain and Yin Mountain.

The open plain that came to Yan Ming exclaimed. Many of the soldiers around him who had never been to the plains also exclaimed. The plain, which stretches as far as the eye can see, is no less vast than the sea!

On the grassland, flowers bloom all over the field, filled with a natural fragrance.

Yan Ming took a sharp breath of the boundless aroma, this was originally the Inner Mongolia Plateau of Chinese territory, and now it still belongs to an alien race. Historically, after the continuous struggle of the ancestors, this rich plateau was finally incorporated into the territory of China.

At this moment, facing the boundless grassland, Yan Ming suddenly felt that if this land was incorporated into the Chinese territory through his own hands, what a glory it would be!

During the march, Yan Ming opened the map he brought several times. Compare them with the actual topography and landforms. He found that the map matched the actual terrain perfectly. This discovery made Yan Ming very happy.

With this map, many things are made simpler.

In the future war, the Han army will accurately find the royal court of the Xiongnu. There is no need to waste manpower and material resources to find the opportunity for a decisive battle in the boundless grassland.

"The Huns really have no brains. It's really infuriating to think about such a vast plain, which doesn't cultivate, but comes to rob us of our food! Cheng Xin muttered on the side.

Yan Ming said with a smile: "There is a difference between nations and nations. They are accustomed to a nomadic life and live on water and grass. We are accustomed to the life of farming, and we yearn for a stable home. Each has its own reason. If you have to say whose reason is more reasonable, it depends on the hardness of the fist. ”

Hearing this, Cheng Xin clenched his fist vigorously, waved it, and said, "My fist is very hard. ”

Yan Ming laughed. A hundred cavalry galloped across the steppe for a while, like a swarm of ants on a vast land, extremely small and lonely.

Just when Yan Ming and the others were speeding on the grassland, far ahead, a puff of smoke connected heaven and earth. And the sunset in the west dyed the sky red.

Yan Ming Lerma, looking at the lonely smoke and the sunset, suddenly thought of a poem: "The desert is lonely and the smoke is straight, and the sun sets on the long river." ”

But before he could say this poem in the right place, Su Jian suddenly said vigilantly: "That's wolf smoke!" How can there be wolf smoke at this time? It must have been General Gongsun, and they met the Huns. ”

"What!" Yan Ming's face instantly turned cold, he didn't expect that he had just left the territory of the Han Dynasty and entered the territory of the Xiongnu, and he encountered this situation.

In an instant, a warm and nervous feeling swept through the body.
