Originally, after running forward for hundreds of miles, Luo Tong led the army to retreat, but when he retreated, he found that he had not run out of this ghost place for several days...

"Zhang Ming, do you remember, how many miles have we run since we entered Xiqiang?"

Next to Luo Tong, there was a teenager. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This young man is Zhang Ming, who won the competition, he is Zhang Wancheng's son, although his martial arts are not very good, but his mind is quite flexible, and he is also clever. The official rank is two levels larger than before, and he can follow Luo Tong with him.

Zhang Ming thought for a while and said, "I remember, since we entered Xiqiang, we have been running for 16 consecutive days, and it should be more than 4,000 miles." ”

Luo Daodao: "The whole Xiqiang, even if you spare a circle, it is not so far, we must be turning in a circle inside, I think I can think of a way, otherwise, once our food can't keep up, it will be over." ”

"General Luo, why don't we leave some markings everywhere we go, maybe it will work?"

"You have a solution, but this mark can't be too small, it's too small, and it's gone when the wind blows."

Luo Tong pondered for a while, and said: "You will take hundreds of brothers now, in this position, pile a relatively large mound, point ahead, we will continue to walk from the front, every hundred miles, we will mark one, if we meet again, we will change the route." ”

"Okay."

Zhang Ming did not hesitate, answered, and went to find the soldiers to build a mound.

Luo Tong sighed, and secretly muttered, "The grain and grass brought with the army are only enough for two days, if you don't get supplies within two days, it will be troublesome, I hope this move is effective." ”

He now finally realized that the terrible consequences of his blind march would never have happened if he had followed the original plan, let Wang Qing build towns everywhere, step by step. It's just that he is greedy for merit, and he thinks that he should attack Xiqiang as quickly as possible, and he is caught off guard by Xiao Chenglong.

The idea is good, it's just that the reality is too cruel...

Early the next morning, after establishing the mound, the army continued to advance, and at the speed of cavalry, the distance of a hundred miles in this vast snowy steppe was only a matter of an hour or two.

Soon, Luo Tong finally saw something different, there were trees in front of him, and there were several small peaks that he had never seen before.

Hey?

This made Luo Tong puzzled, how could Xiqiang still have this kind of terrain?

This is very rare.

Luo Tong ordered, the army stopped, and let people go to investigate.

At this time, in the canyon, in Xiao Chenglong's royal tent, he heard the soldier's report that Luo Tong had arrived here, and he was about to lead his troops to meet the battle, but at a critical moment, he was stopped by Dong Fan.

"Don't worry, the king, Luo Tong hasn't discovered us now."

Dong Fan said: "Our terrain, although it is different from other places, looks weird, maybe, Luo Tong will send someone to investigate, but if he is not careful, he will definitely not be able to find the entrance to the cave!" ”

"Have you forgotten that our cave is in a dense forest..."

Xiao Chenglong knew that what Dong Fan said made sense, but he just couldn't bear it, the enemy had hit the door, and he was like a turtle with a shrunken head, which was too breathless.

"Hehe... O king, wait a little longer, and let Luo Tong get away for two more days, and then go and clean up as soon as our men and horses arrive, for a team of horses has been sent to follow thirty miles behind his army, and they will never be lost. ”

"You... That is, you, if others persuade me, I will definitely not listen! ”

Xiao Chenglong sat down and said: "Okay, the herald clan, come to the valley, don't be discovered by Luo Tong, let's put up with him." ”

"King Xie."

At this time, outside the canyon, the spies sent out by Luo Tong returned one after another...

"How's it going?"

One of the scouts reported: "General, these are two barren mountains and a dense forest, nothing unusual. ”

"yes, I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary..."

"It's not unusual..."

Zhang Ming rode a horse and walked a few steps forward, came to Luo Tong, and said: "According to me, this Xiqiang, just such a place, can barely live in people, if I am a Xiqiang people, I have to settle here, but this Qiang people are too strange, don't put such a good place, non-camping in the wilderness, I really don't understand." ”

"Yes, their way of life is very different from mine."

Luo Daodao: "Their character is bold, unrestrained, live here today, live there tomorrow, the sky is the cover, the ground is the bed, you have never been to the grassland, I don't know how these people live." ”

"General, why don't we garrison here for the time being, and wait and see before leaving?"

"No need, we don't have much time now, let's hurry, this place, it means a sign, if we can't run out again, we have to come back..."

"Yes."

The two of them discussed it and decided to go further, only some impressions of this strange place, but they didn't care, because the scouts had already carefully probed and found nothing unusual.

So, after circling the canyon, the army of Rotong turned southeast and continued forward...

"It's still a military advisor who knows things like a god, this Luo Tong, what a big fool, he left with the army, hahaha..."

In the king's tent, after receiving the soldier's report, Xiao Chenglong laughed happily. I don't know what he's laughing at, is it because he thinks Luo Tong is stupid? Or do you think you're hiding deep enough? Or is Dong Fan like a god? You must know that he has always advocated going out to fight, and now that Luo Tong has escaped, he should feel a pity, but he doesn't have that demeanor.

Dong Fan said: "King, Luo Tong is still moving forward, not far ahead, it is where our people live, he only needs to ask, he can figure out everything, I'm worried..." ”

"Huh? Why didn't you say it earlier? ”

Xiao Chenglong reacted and said, "Then why didn't you let me attack just now, isn't this harming my clansmen?" ”

"The king is angry, Luo Tong will not hurt the Xiqiang people, they have always pursued the way of a gentleman, even if they are captured, they will never kill innocents indiscriminately, what I want to say is that Luo Tong is lost now, but if he finds a large number of Xiqiang people, he will definitely know that this place is our king's tent!"

Xiao Chenglong chuckled: "Okay, I'm waiting for him, when he figures it out, let him come and see how I clean him up." ”

But after thinking about it carefully, Xiao Chenglong shook his head and said: "My people are loyal to me, they will never tell where the king's tent is, they must show them the way, let Luo Tong go somewhere else..." ”

"That's good, that's good..."

Dong Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Xiao Chenglong is becoming more and more unhappy in his heart, if that is the case, won't Luo Tong's army quietly slip away again?
