Chapter 731: The Horse Thief's Movements

();

The thorns were also rushing in the snow, and although they were all outside the plug, the snow was much smaller where he walked???.? Thorn listened to Su Ren's words, first escaped Yu Dan's pursuit, and began to move west along the Great Wall. The foot of the Great Wall is much warmer than the northern wilderness, and it is full of mountains, so you can find a sheltered place to camp at any time. The food sent by Su Ren was enough for them to survive this winter, so no one among the horse thieves felt that this was an escape, but thought that it was just a diversion of the battlefield.

The old black tower was holding a huge porcelain bowl, and the millet inside was the same as the mountain: "Wolf master, where are we going?" Just eating and not working, I feel uncomfortable! ”

The fire qilin smiled: "Then you won't eat less?" This is already the second bowl, but we know that these grains are owed on credit, and we will repay them with livestock next year! ”

Come to Heita and smile: "If you don't eat enough, how can you have the strength to fight with the Huns, after Yuci, I found that the Huns here are even more powerful!" If I had known, I wouldn't have come. ”

Flying Harrier snorted coldly: "The shortest cannibal, the soft hand of taking people, Mr. Su doesn't let us continue to plague the tribe of Dan, we can only go west, what choice do we have?" Why don't you go talk to Mr. Su? Maybe he'll give you face. ”

"Forget it!" Old Heita shook his head: "It's almost the same as the wolf lord going, I'll go to someone else to know who I am?" ”

The creeper cleaned up the thorny dishes and chopsticks, and said as he walked out: "I think there must be something wrong with Mr. Su asking us to come to the west, otherwise this walk is hundreds of miles, and from Yu Dan's territory to the chassis of Yi Zhixi, we are horse thieves as long as we fight the Huns, why bother to distinguish so clearly?" ”

Old Heita hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" I heard that the Xiongnu are preparing to lead their troops to attack Mayi, could it be that Mr. Su wants us to raid the Huns' nest? ”

Huo Qilin said: "It's really hard to say, the Hun army is coming, Mr. Su will be fine as long as he hides in Yanmen Pass, and it is a good time to sneak attack Shan Yu's nest." ??.?? `?”

The Flying Harrier shook his head: "Impossible! Do you know how far it is from here to the royal court? Two thousand miles! In such weather, it is difficult for us people to go to the royal court, let alone fight! Besides, it is impossible for the royal court to be unguarded, and we are not sent to death if we go! ”

"What does that mean?" Old Blacktower forgot to eat.

Thorn burped and poured himself a glass of wine: "Don't guess, Su Xiaozi will definitely sue us when the time comes!" Now that they are here, the brothers can't be idle these days, taking advantage of the fact that those Huns can't drive their livestock to escape in this weather, they will pack up a few nearby tribes first! ”

Old Heita smiled: "Don't worry, wolf lord, this matter is on my old Hei!" ”

Yi Zhixie did not expect that the horse thieves who were wreaking havoc in the single territory suddenly appeared in his territory, and more than a dozen tribes near the Great Wall were killed by others. The Huns who dared to graze horses at the foot of the Great Wall were all brave Huns, and Yi Zhixie didn't care about the loss of thousands of livestock, he was a pity for those warriors. Now is the time to employ people, and at this juncture, he has lost hundreds of brave and warlike warriors, and Yi Zhixiao can't accept it.

Liu Hong is already a 10,000 household, but he has no tribe, and his soldiers are only 1,000, so he has been living in the royal court of Yinshan Yizhi. Liu Hong has recently been very close to the two Han businessmen Nie Yi and the young prince, so he naturally became an important role under Yi Zhixi.

Seeing that Yi Zhiyi was sullen, Liu Hong said: "The king still withdraws the tribes that stayed by the Great Wall, right?" Those horse thieves are coming for them! ”

Yi Zhiyi glanced at Liu Hong: "Why?" Aren't those horse thieves Su Ren's people? Why are you coming to my territory? ”

Liu Hong shook his head: "Maybe it's really because Yu Shan is Su Ren's friend." ”

"Nonsense, since Yu Shan is Su Ren's friend, those horse thieves should come early, they don't come early or late, but at this time, if there is no problem, it will be strange!"

The young prince sighed: "I understand, Su Ren doesn't want to watch the king send troops to Wolf Juxu Mountain, so ......"

Yi Zhiye snorted coldly: "Just go to attack Ma Yi, as long as Su Ren is not crazy, he will not do this!" ”

The young prince hurriedly lowered his head. ??.? Nie Yi didn't speak, sitting in his seat drinking wine and eating meat. The wine is Erguotou, which is transported from the Han region, and this kind of wine is the most comfortable to drink in this season, and the whole body is warm after taking a sip. The meat is mutton, although there is no craftsmanship of Cuixianglou, with some salt and seasonings, the taste is better than boiled in white water.

"Mr. Nie, what do you think?"

Nie Yi smiled: "Actually, it's nothing, horse thieves are horse thieves after all, and the combat power is a little stronger, but there are not many people, so they don't have the ability to go deep into the hinterland of the desert, they can only operate on the border between the Han and the Xiongnu, Yu Dan is too poor, he has been robbed for several months, and everything that can be robbed has been robbed, so he will naturally move the place!" Although these horse thieves are Su Ren's people, they are also tens of thousands of people, and there are tens of thousands of family members in Taihang Mountain, Su Ren can't support so many people no matter how rich he is, so does the king understand? ”

Yi Zhiyi frowned: "You mean they don't have any other purpose?" ”

"Of course there is a purpose, but it is not as complicated as you think!"

"Is there a solution?"

Nie Yi said: "What Liu Wanhu said is the way, as long as the king moves the tribe back, he will naturally leave if he doesn't have to rob it." ”

Yi Zhixie's brows furrowed even deeper, he still didn't believe that Su Ren really didn't have any conspiracy this time. As far as he knows, Su Ren has always done things one step at a time, and let such a big force not be controlled by himself, let alone Su Ren, even he will not care about it. At the very least, it should be placed in Ma Yi to block Shan Yu, and it is not a smart person's practice to release it like this.

"You all think so?" Yi Zhiye glanced at the faces of Liu Hong, Nie Yi, and the young prince.

Liu Hong didn't answer, but Ji Shaogong nodded: "Maybe it's really complicated for us to think!" ”

Thorn's soldiers and horses are stationed in a col, and it is rare that this col is open at both ends, and there is one end to walk around, if the two ends are encircled, Thorn does not believe that these horse thieves under his command who can already be regarded as bandits cannot rush out. According to Su Ren, Yi Zhiyi had plans to attack Shan Yu Wangting, so he would never send a large army to encircle and suppress it, so this place was the safest.

The Great Tent of Thorns was in the middle of the valley, heavily guarded in front and behind. A flat field on the opposite side of the tent was fenced, and the cattle, sheep, and horses were crowded inside, and three hundred horse thieves were responsible for taking care of the livestock. He didn't want the animals to starve or freeze to death, and in a few days they would turn into money and food. Thorn stood at the mouth of the tent, very pleased with the camp he had chosen. The 30,000 horse thieves under his command are becoming more and more like an army, and even if the Huns really come, they have the strength to fight.

The mountain climber came from the mountain pass, followed by Shi Bao. Since Thorn brought people to the grassland, Shi Bao has always been in charge of contact, firstly, the two have met and are acquaintances, and secondly, Shi Bao is a shrewd guy, Su Ren is very relieved.

After getting off the horse, Shi Bao got into the thorny tent and guarded the brazier and was reluctant to leave: "My mother, freeze to death!" ”

Thorn threw a wine jug to Shi Bao: "Take two sips and warm up!" How much grain was brought this time? ”

Shi Bao raised his head and took a big sip, shaking his head: "This time it's a letter, and I didn't bring a grain of food!" ”

"What's the matter with Su boy?"

Shi Bao took out a letter from his chest and handed it to Thorn: "Sir said, let you be stationed here, and in ten days, someone will come to receive the livestock, and he will settle the grain matter for you later." ”

"Oh? Who is so big-minded, Su Xiaozi owes so much money to others? Thorn joked as he opened the letter.

"Then I don't know, Mr. also said, we must clean up the surrounding Huns, and we must not leave a single mouth alive!"

Thorn was reading the letter, and the creeper said with a smile: "Please rest assured, Mr. Su, the wolf lord has been doing this, there is not a single Hun within a radius of fifty miles, and the same is true on the way here, although it is not as large as the cleaning range here, there are also ten miles." ”

Thorn's face became redder and redder, and when he saw that his face was red in the end, he laughed without waiting to finish reading, grabbed the wine jug and drank wildly: "Su Xiaozi really saw far, even Lao Tzu was in the dark, good handicap!" That's a great idea! ”

Shi Bao raised his head to look at the content of the letter, but Thorn hurriedly covered it: "Don't be so curious, children, just do your own thing!" He blew away Shi Bao and threw the letter and envelope into the brazier. An orange-red flame rose into the air, and no one knew what Su Ren had said to Thorn in the letter.

This is another half a month, and the horse thief is still in that col, and there is no sign of leaving. Yi Zhi was furious, patted the case and shouted, "Who said they would leave? It's been half a month, and they have no intention of leaving! Many of the scouts sent were killed, so where were they doing? ”

Nie Yi didn't speak, Liu Hong and the young prince couldn't speak, and the rest of the Xiongnu generals naturally didn't dare to speak casually. Yi Zhi glared at a group of people viciously: "Su Ren just wants to drag down the footsteps of this king, he just wants to drag this king and let Yu Shan do Shan Yu!" ”

A Xiongnu general stood up and said loudly: "Great king, the last general is willing to lead people to annihilate that horse thief!" ”

"Raton?" Yi Zhi said evilly: "This king knows that your tribe has suffered the heaviest losses, but those horse thieves have 30,000 people, and your men and horses are not enough to destroy them. ”

The general named Raton knelt on the ground: "Great King, when did the Hun warriors be so bullied by the Han people?" Even if I die, I will kill a few Han people to avenge the people of my tribe! ”

"The minister also wishes!" Liu Hong didn't wait for Yi Zhixie to answer, and also stood up. Raton glanced at Liu Hong gratefully.

Yi Zhi said evilly: "You? ”

"Please believe in the ministers, the ministers will definitely annihilate those horse thieves or drive them out of the king's territory!"
