The guards sent out came back for the second time, but they still couldn't find out the origin of those people, which made Ashi Nabu very annoyed. The grassland is the chassis of their Huns, and they were driven straight into it by the Han people, which is the biggest insult to their Huns.

According to the character of Ashi Nabu in the past, he will definitely lead his army to attack it. But this time Ashi Nabu didn't do it, not because he didn't want to, but because it was impossible. There were only 3,000 soldiers and horses in the hands of Ashina, but the enemy was 30,000, and there were even those things that flew in and out of the snow. No matter how heroic his soldiers and horses were, the final result would definitely be the total annihilation. Therefore, the Ashi Nabu asked Shan Yu for help, hoping that Shan Yu would send more troops over and destroy the enemy together.

Thorns are naturally not stupid, knowing that they have encountered Shan Yu's army, they can't stay in one place for a long time. The last time I fought with the Huns, Thorn completely understood the strength of the Hun army, so this time Thorn did not have a trace of nostalgia for the Hun army, the moment Zhao Xin found the enemy, he immediately ordered the whole army to turn around and retreat, how fast and how fast it could run.

Running all the way again, making sure that there were no pursuers behind him, this made the old black tower stop the sled. Thorn let out a sigh: "Ordered to set up camp, his mother actually ran into Shan Yu's army, it's really fucking unlucky." ”

The other horse thieves were also depressed, hoping that this attack on the Xiongnu court would reap some benefits, but who expected that they would have to run back halfway through. It can be said that this time it was a cold wind that blew for half a month, and nothing was caught.

The creeper stared at the little eyes and said to the thorns: "Wolf Lord, since we can't go to the royal court, why don't we start from here, there are many tribes on the way back, at least we can make up for our losses." ”

Zhao Xin immediately objected: "No, this is the territory of King Zuoxian, he has a good relationship with King Zuo Gu Li, in case King Zuo Xian knows that he will join forces with King Zuo Gu Li to encircle us, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out!" ”

"King Zuoxian? Where is his court? ”

"Hakusuwon, it takes ten days to ride a horse from here, and you can get there in four days by this sled."

"Oh ......! Ten days! The old black tower monster shouted twice: "That's still afraid of a bird, and when he comes in ten days, Lao Tzu will already leave!" Wolf master, I think it's okay, Mr. Su asked us to go to the royal court, let's turn back halfway, even if Mr. Su doesn't blame him for taking other people's things, this face is not good-looking, if you can get some horses and livestock to go back, and Mr. Su will exchange it. ”

Thorn turned his head to look at the Fire Qilin and the Flying Harrier: "What do you two think?" ”

The fire qilin smiled: "What Lao Hei said is reasonable, his subordinates are willing to take the lead!" ”

The flying harrier lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then said: "You can do this, but I will divide the troops and move around, so that the king of Zuo Xian and the king of Zuo Gu Li can't touch our movements, and finally get out, just the guide ......?" The flying harrier looked at Zhao Xin.

Thorn slapped his thigh: "General Zhao, what do you see?" Rest assured, we pay attention to fair distribution here, and your share is indispensable! ”

Zhao Xin was attracted by the last sentence of Thorn, he was not from a noble background. It can be said that he climbed up from a slave little by little, only because Yu Shan likes the things of the Han people, he has a bright future, and if he is placed under someone else, he may still be a slave. Zhao Xin's family background is not thick, even if he has Yu Shan to take care of him, he doesn't want to live a worry-free life in this life. Thorn's words gave Zhao Xin a hope, if he succeeded, even if he divided fifty cows, it would be his own property, and with these fifty cows, his family's life would be better.

Zhao Xin was silent for a long time. Old Heita slapped Zhao Xin on the back: "What's like it?" Lao Tzu is doing this as a family member in the mountains, and I think your family is like that, what can you do if you take a risk? Besides, it's us again, what are you afraid of? ”

The creeper also said: "General Zhao, the king of the left valley and the king of the right valley don't drink, since the king of Zuo Xian is an ally of the king of the left valley, to fight him is to fight the king of the left valley, and it is also to vent the anger of the king of your family, killing two birds with one stone." ”

Zhao Xin was finally persuaded by several people. Nodding slightly: "Okay, I can draw the nearby terrain, all the generals must keep in mind that in ten days, we will meet in the Liuyun Canyon a hundred miles to the south, and we must leave whether we get what we need or not!" ”

"Good! Brothers, get ready to do a great job! Thorn threw off his white bearskin cloak and stood on the sleigh and shouted.

Zhao Xin naturally followed the team of thorns. The original 30,000 horse thieves were divided into five shares, and the four of the old black tower had no one to bring 5,000 soldiers and horses, and sleds and the like could be made on the spot. The rest of the men were left to the thorns. According to the direction pointed out by Zhao Xin, Qingquan Valley is the best place for Xiongnu herdsmen to spend the winter, where there should be a large number of herdsmen gathered, as long as Qingquan Valley can be won, at least 10,000 horses will have an income, not to mention cattle and sheep.

Clear Spring Valley is three days away from the Duck River where they are located. For three days, the thorns traveled day and night, and as long as the horses could endure it, they kept moving forward. After a day and a night, Ken saw a high mountain in the vast white expanse. It is said to be a high mountain, but in fact it is just a little higher than the surrounding mountains. The dead trees on the mountain have been almost cut down, and even human figures can be seen flickering in the middle of the white mountain.

The scout's reward made Thorn particularly excited, and there were more than a thousand people in the Clear Spring Valley, which was already a large tribe for the Huns who lived by grazing. The scout was very excited, except for the people, there were cattle, sheep and horses, and the whole valley was full of them, and they couldn't be counted at all.

Thorns were overjoyed, and as soon as they raised their hands, they were about to give the order to rush in. Zhao Xin hurriedly grabbed the thorns: "General, let's wait for the night!" Since there are more than 1,000 people, that is more than 1,000 warriors, they occupy favorable terrain, and our manpower is only 6,000, and we are afraid of heavy losses if we attack hard. ”

Thorn nodded with a smile: "General Zhao is right, it's the wolf lord who is in a hurry!" Listen to General Zhao and act at night! ”

Several groups of horse thieves of unknown origin suddenly appeared in the desert. These people are very cruel, they are like wild wolves in the grasslands, they always act at night, and they bite a tribe when they catch it. As long as they are targeted, all men and women in the tribe, old and young, will not let go, and then the tribe will be reduced by fire, and all the cattle, sheep and horses will be taken away.

This place is the territory of King Zuoxian, and almost all the tribes that have been robbed are his, although it will not make King Zuo Xian hurt his muscles and bones, but it makes King Zuo Xian very angry. The men sent to check it, and the thieves were all on horseback, and they came and went like the wind, and they didn't know what the next target would be. Experienced trackers followed the trails left by the horse thieves all the way to the Duck River, and the rest of the trails were obscured by the wind and snow.

King Zuo Xian was furious and threw the crystal cup that Yi Zhixie had just given him: "Who is waiting for an activity in the Duck River?" Go and find out for the king! ”

The result is naturally clear at a glance, the largest group of people near the Yazi River is none other than Shan Yu's army, and Shan Yu's army lacks food and grass, if it is not replenished, let alone going to Mayi, it is a miracle that they can all be frozen to death by the wind and snow.

"Yi Zhixie is really right, just sending troops is for this king! Hit the horse? How could anyone attack the Han city without bringing enough food and grass in such weather? King Zuo Xian immediately found the reason, and ordered loudly with a black face: "Gather troops and horses for this king, this king is going to ask Shan Yu, why did he attack this king's tribe?" ”

Ten days will be up soon. Liuyun Canyon is a good place, with two mountains, one south and one north, to keep the cold wind out, and there are even patches of green grass at the bottom of the valley. This harvest was very large, and it was roughly estimated that there were 20,000 horses, and countless cattle and sheep. As a guide, Zhao Xin was given five horses, thirty cows, and one hundred sheep. This is a lot of money for Zhao Xin.

Thorn drank a lot of wine and put his arms around Zhao Xin's neck: "Brother Zhao, I think you will follow this wolf in the future?" Don't go back to Yu Dan, let Su Ren send your family to Taihang Mountain, rest assured that no one will embarrass your family with me! Even if you don't want to do it in the future, I won't stop you, go to Taihang Mountain to spend your own kid's day, how about it? ”

Zhao Xin was really moved. But he is a Huns, and these Han Chinese can really treat his family the way he says? Zhao Xin was a little skeptical. He smiled at the thorns: "The wolf lord is kind, and he is leading it in his heart!" ”

Thorns have been mixed for so many years, Zhao Xin understood what he meant at a glance, and said with a smile: "Brother, don't believe the words of the wolf master, you know that we Han people, speaking has always counted, speaking of which I used to be Su Xiaozi's enemy, I almost killed him, and then somehow became what he is now, he can trust me, I also believe him, listen to my brother, Su Xiaozi is eyeing you Huns, this grassland and desert will not have a good life in the future!" ”

Zhao Xin frowned. Thorn with the smell of wine all over his body, he leaned in Zhao Xin's ear and whispered: "To tell you the truth, even if the Shan Yu army arrives in Mayi, there is no return, and if the Xiongnu dies, it will be chaotic, and then the Han army will attack in a big way, what kind of result do you think it will be?" ”

Zhao Xin looked at the thorns, the thorns just smirked, and didn't say a word about the rest of the words. Zhao Xin couldn't sleep that night, he made a choice in his mind. It is true that he yearns for the Han Dynasty, and he also has a sense of belonging to the Xiongnu. Until dawn, Zhao Xin found the thorn with a pair of panda eyes, and waited for the drunken thorn to wake up, and the first sentence was: "What the wolf lord said last night counts?" ”

Thorn was stunned for a moment, vaguely remembered what he said to Zhao Xin last night, patted his chest and said: "A man who stands up to the sky, what he says will naturally count!" ”

Zhao Xin gritted his teeth and knelt on one knee: "Subordinate Zhao Xin to meet the wolf master!" ”

Thorn laughed, pulled Zhao Xin up, slapped Zhao Xin on the shoulder twice, turned his head and ordered his own soldiers to find all the old black towers. There was not much time, and several people rushed to arrive. They all thought that something big had happened, and when they saw Thorn pulling Zhao Xin to stand in their tent, the old black tower and several people looked at it suspiciously.

Thorn said loudly: "Brothers, I would like to introduce you to a new brother, that is Brother Zhao Xin, from now on he will be our military advisor." ”

One sentence shocked everyone, yesterday he was just a borrowed guide, and today he has become a military advisor. Thorn smiled: "What are you doing in a daze?" Don't come to see the ceremony? ”
