Chapter 176: Li Chang's reasoning
After the spring snow, the sky is clear day by day, the snow melts quickly, and after a few days, the tender green grass also quickly breaks through the soil, as if it is overnight, the original grass is yellow, and it is an endless green in an instant, which makes people feel a little comfortable.

"General Li, we have been looking in the northwest direction for so many days, and we have not found any trace of the young general, and I estimate that if we go any further, I am afraid that we will find the lair of the Huns."
Li Chang rode on horseback, he was not willing to give up these days, he was always worried about Shi Min's safety, and the further he went, the higher his heart hung.
"Lao Tzu wants to see people in life, and he wants to see corpses when he dies, 10,000 people, it is impossible to disappear without leaving any traces for no reason! Gotta keep looking! Even if he catches up with the Huns' hometown, Lao Tzu has to ask the Huns Shan Yu what is going on! Li Chang has obviously lost weight, but his hot temper has not changed at all.
"Yes! Checkmate! ”
Li Chang's subordinates knew his temper, and when he came up stubbornly, no one could suppress him except for their generals, so no matter what he commanded, the five hundred soldiers could only obey.
Suddenly, a horse came running in the distance, and the one riding the horse happened to be the scout horse they had sent out earlier.
"General, the tanma is back!" The people around Li Chang pointed to Li Chang in the distance and said.
Li Chang said that he looked in the direction that his subordinates pointed, and sure enough, the person who came was his own, so he instructed the two subordinates around him: "Go!" Check it out! ”
After Li Chang finished speaking, he whipped hard, and his mount immediately hissed and ran over at an accelerated speed.
Seeing that the probe horse had not yet run to Li Chang, he shouted loudly: "General! There is an important situation! ”
When Li Chang heard this, his heart was even more suspended in mid-air, and he quickly stopped and asked, "What's the matter!" Say it! ”
"A lot of Hun corpses were found not far ahead, as well as our brothers!" The man hurriedly replied.
"What!" When Li Chang heard this, he felt that something was wrong, and immediately ordered: "Quick!" Lead the way! ”
As soon as the words fell, Li Chang whipped hard again and ran out first, and the pathfinder hurriedly turned the horse's head and rode after him, leading the way for Li Chang.
Li Chang ran wildly all the way, and he didn't think that the person leading the way was fast enough, and in just half a pillar of incense or so, Li Chang had 110,000 assumptions in his heart, and when he arrived, he was stunned by the situation in front of him.
Li Chang rode on horseback, and took his subordinates to carefully turn the side of the nearly ten miles in a radius of nearly ten miles, only to find that most of the dead bodies on the ground were Huns, and some had been gnawed beyond recognition by wild wolves, but it was obvious that Shi Min led people to do it! For among the corpses on the ground were their own people.
"General, it seems that the young general took his brothers and fought the Huns here." One of them said to Li Chang.
Li Chang carefully observed the situation at the scene and said to his subordinates: "It seems that this battle was a sneak attack by our people at that time, and the Huns were caught off guard. ”
"What the general said makes sense, there are burned tents all over the place, it should be at night, looking at the condition of the corpses, I think it was at least three days ago!"
"You're right, I checked it just now, our people, including the defenders of Yanmen Pass, only killed a small number of people, it seems that the major general's sneak attack was successful, and the Huns were in a hurry to retreat and didn't take care of the battlefield."
"What about our people? Where are you going? Continue to chase the Huns? ”
Li Chang shook his head and said, "I don't know. ”
Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to make up their minds.
"Go and find out the bodies of our brothers, including the guards of Yanmen Pass, and find a place to bury them! The corpses of all the Huns were cut off and taken away! Li Chang instructed his subordinates.
"Yes! Checkmate! ”
Li Chang took a few people to check on this battlefield again, while the rest of the people had a clear division of labor, a group of people were responsible for collecting the spoils of war, a group of people were responsible for burying the corpses of the brothers killed in the war, and by the way, all the grain, grass, gold and silver left by the Huns were collected.
Suddenly, a soldier patrolling the periphery came on horseback and reported to Li Changyu: "General, there are some discoveries in the humble position, come and see!" ”
"What discovery?" When Li Chang heard this, he hurriedly asked.
"I found that there were traces of a large number of horses passing to the south, and it could be seen that there were thousands of people and horses, and just now I ran out seven or eight miles to the south, and this trace has been going south, which shows that after the war, someone went to the south!"
"Thousands?" Li Chang suddenly fell into deep thought, what the hell is going on with these thousands of people? Could it be Shi Min?
But if Shi Min attacked the Huns, why did he go south? Li Chang thought about it for a long time and didn't figure it out.
"Okay, I see, you go ahead and be on guard." Li Chang instructed the man.
"Yes!"
After the man left, Li Chang continued to think about where Shi Min would go, if he continued to chase the Huns to the north, then who left the traces on the ground? If Shi Min left those traces in the south, then what did he do in the south? Looking at the situation at that time, Shi Min's sneak attack was successful, and it would not be defeated at all, so it was impossible to retreat.
"It's really strange, why are they all Huns, and there are no Qiang people?" One of Li Chang's men muttered as he cut off the corpse's left ear.
Suddenly, Li Chang's inspiration suddenly appeared, and he immediately thought of the traces of the Huns setting up camp the day before yesterday, and around the camp, there were traces of horseshoe prints and cattle, sheep and livestock to the south. He didn't understand it at the time, but now he seems to understand! If it weren't for the inadvertent words of that subordinate just now, he probably wouldn't have figured it out even if he wanted to break his head.
"General! You're done! "One of his men came to report it.
"Pack up, let's go south!" Li Chang has now basically determined where Shi Min has gone.
"Huh? Heading south? Why? The man asked, confused.
"If I'm not mistaken, the major general must have gone to the south to chase the Qiang! Let's catch up and see what happens. ”
"Ignorance, understood!" The man nodded, then turned his horse's head and hurried to inform the others.
It didn't take long for all the five hundred men and horses to be assembled, and Li Chang didn't explain too much, and led the people directly to the south, of course, and took away the left ear of the Huns.
On the other hand, Mu Du had been frightened by Shi Min to flee in all directions, all the way to the east, not daring to turn back, he tried to go north along the Qilian Mountains to the Huns, to ask for help from Da Danyu.
Thinking that he was in the Qiang tribe, he was ruthless and majestic, but he didn't expect that this time he entered the Central Plains and just looted some things, but he was almost wiped out by a fledgling boy, like a lost dog. In the end, there were no losses in the army, and even the things that were hard to grab were all snatched back.
When Mu Du thought of this, he really wanted to peel Shi Min's skin, cramps, and crush his body for thousands of pieces before he could relieve his hatred.
"Chief, drink some water." Mudu's attendant suddenly handed over a water bladder.
"Don't drink, take it!" Mu Du said angrily.
"Chief, no matter what, you always have to eat food and drink water, what can you do if you can't collapse your body?"
"Fuck, what we worked so hard to get was snatched back, and so many people died! It's been so long in vain! Mu Du scolded indignantly.
"That kid is so powerful, he is so brave and brave that no one can stop him! When the brothers saw him, they were alarmed. ”
