Chapter 216: Three Years

The wolf cavalry was much bleaker than when they came, and the journey of hundreds of miles was not long under the drive of the leaders of the tribes and the interests of the rich women, but now that the interests were shattered, the journey back was even worse.

Along the way, facing the pursuit of the Qin army behind them, the wolf cavalry lost their armor, and the small amount of food was also abandoned in a panic, and finally all of them were captured by the Qin army behind them, no one knew what would happen in the case of hunger, and the mounts under the wolf people became their best food supply, no matter how they could outrun the four feet of the Qin army with their only two feet, they just wanted to fill the hunger in their stomachs.

Panic and mutiny began with the withdrawal of several of the stronger tribes of Touman's coalition, which Touman was able to suppress at first, but eventually more and more of the remaining tribesmen moved away from the large army, their targets too large and easy targets for Meng Tian's pursuit.

But this kind of rebellion is reported every day only from the mouths of his subordinates, at least the guards around Touman are still very strong.

"Stop, camp on the spot tonight."

Touman chose a leeward vent and gave the order to rest, they had been on the road for a whole day, and both men and horses were unusually tired and in need of rest.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at this time and set up camp

Touman took the wine from the attendant and drank the already sour wine, and now even his favorite wine was not available.

The orchid next to him came to his side and sat down, her beauty was still there, the jewelry on her body was still bright and gorgeous, and her figure was still enchanting. , however, he was unusually irritable at this time, and even the delicate body of the orchid did not give him the slightest comfort.

Tou Man would rather fight with Meng Tian than be like this, in the eyes of the Prairie Warriors, dying on the battlefield is far better than the current embarrassment.

After chasing for more than 300 miles, Meng Tian finally stopped the pursuit after leaving countless wolf clan cavalry corpses on the ground, he was now too far away from Yanmen Pass, and the battle line was too long, as long as it was not too stupid, no one would think that he could solve the wolf clan in the north in one fell swoop.

Just looking at Touman, who could vaguely sense that he was far away in the distance, Meng Tian was still unwilling.

But this battle still won him glory, and it was expected that Tou Manding would not dare to do it again within a few years.

In this way, the territory of the empire will be stable, and his northern army will be able to penetrate deep into the empire to clear the remnants of the six countries, and in Meng Tian's opinion, the internal crisis will always be more serious than the external threat.

......

......

At the cost of losing countless cattle, sheep and horses from the wolf tribe, Touman returned to the land where they had set out before, only this time it was even more lonely, and countless sobbing cries were given to the wolf warriors who would never return.

The enraged Touman first heard that the Romans were retreating without a fight, and the angry Touman ordered all the Romans to be taken into custody.

The Romans did not resist or complain, Touman was in Liwei, and they still had some use for it, so they would not have put them to death like this.

"I want to see you."

"What qualifications does this treacherous villain have to come to see me now, if it weren't for the fact that they still have some use, I would have killed them a long time ago."

"Tell him?" "If you want to go back, take his life to be loyal to me." ”

Tou Man sat quietly in his tent, beside him was a senior physician, his arm was dressed with herbs, he was accidentally bitten by the crossbow arrow of the Qin people when he retreated, the doctor carefully treated his wound, took off the old gauze and replaced him with new ointment and gauze, and then slowly retreated.

Several waiters stepped forward to change Touman's clothes for him, and carefully covered the wounds on his arms with thick cotton silk so that no change could be seen, his body was still strong, and after making these preparations, he stepped out of the tent quickly, and walked in the direction that he saw not far away but had to see, and that direction was the direction he had entertained the guests more than a month ago, the tent of Yan Dan, the prince of Yan Kingdom.

He didn't want to be too embarrassed when he saw Yan Dan, although his statement was completely realized.

The guards lifted the curtain of the camp, and only Touman went alone.

In fact, there was only one person in the tent, and that was Yan Dan, who was wearing the usual green shirt, and in front of him there were two bowls of hot mare's milk wine, one for him, and the other for Touman, of course.

Touman stepped forward, stepped over the carpet woven by soft wool, and sat in front of Yan Dan.

"You knew I was coming."

Yan Dan stretched out her hand and made a gesture of please.

"I guess it's been a long time since I've drunk hot mare's milk wine!"

"Less nonsense."

"I didn't expect that the first person I wanted to see after Shan Yu came back turned out to be me, Yan Dan was terrified."

Tou Man got up, and his tall body gave people a huge sense of oppression, and he looked directly at Yan Dan's pupils, "You already knew that I would lose, didn't you?" ”

Yan Dan looked at Tou Man's condescending body, his voice did not change in the slightest, and his tone was calm.

"I had already warned Shan Yu, but Shan Yu didn't listen at the time."

Tou Man sat down and looked at Yan Dan in front of him, and his tone suddenly eased, "I don't know what His Royal Highness Yan Guo has." ”

"It's not the right time to choose."

"When is the right time?"

"The Central Plains Beacon is back in flames, Guanzhong is disrupted, and only at that time will I have the confidence to assist Shan Yu in regaining Yanmen Pass and entering the Central Plains."

Touman seemed to be back to the shrewd Shan Yu, and he looked at Yan Dan, "Tell your conditions." ”

"I'd like to leave the wolf cavalry to me for training."

"It can't be." Touman immediately refused.

Yan Dan stood up, "I'm just training cavalry for Shan Yu instead of commanding this army, in Shan Yu's opinion, why did you lose this time, next time I believe Shan Yu You won't be able to take advantage of Meng Tian's hands." ”

"We have the strongest horses, the bravest steppe warriors, the fastest swords, and the sharpest arrows, and next time I must take off Meng Tian's head to comfort my steppe warriors."

"In Dankailai, Shan Yu's warriors are more than brave, but they are extremely loose without the slightest discipline, looking at the Central Plains, Qi country discipline is always the core of an army."

Tou Man, as a single Yu, of course knows this, but the people on the grassland have always done their own thing, and they don't like to be restrained, even if he is alone, he can't be restrained.

"If you believe me, Yan Dan will definitely be a division of a hundred battles."

"Okay." Touman almost made the most important decision of his life.

"How long will it take?"

"Three years is enough." Yan Dan smiled confidently.
