Maybe it's because the luck of the Tuliao country is not exhausted. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoAt first, I was a little obsessed with the great Tartar Zaashina Huo'er, who was suddenly smashed by a stone from the sky and destroyed all the women. As soon as he saw the yellow-faced woman in his house at night, Ashina Huo'er twisted his head, "Forget it, let's work hard!" ”

Ashina Huo'er worked hard in Tongwan City, and various affairs began to slowly recover from the chaos and get back on track.

Throughout December, the Dingbei Garrison had no intention of stopping, and kept advancing, and finally repaired the ice castle to less than three hundred miles away from Tongwan City, and then slowly suspended the pace of advancement.

And Ashina Huo'er really doesn't seem to have any more plans to fight the Dingbei garrison, except for the scouts who have been constantly monitoring the Dingbei garrison, the Xuanfeng cavalry that intrudes on the grain road has never sent another one.

In fact, it was not that Ashina Huo'er did not want to intrude on the Dingbei garrison, if there was a way, he would definitely block the advance of the garrison. But after Fan Guoshi left, without this right-hand man, he really couldn't leave Tongwan City.

Ashina Huo'er, who is now well aware of the importance of military power, has become more and more cautious in the deployment of troops.

And Ashina Huo'er is now facing a situation where he has no generals. His power had just been stabilized, and he would never dare to use the generals of the other Ashina families at this time. His own sons and nephews are not angry, they know how to rush and fight hard in battle, and they don't know how to be flexible at all, and they are also sent to lead soldiers to death.

Unable to delay the advance of the garrison, Ashina Huo'er could only choose to defend passively and strive to manage Tongwan City. Tongwan City is Ashina Huo'er's biggest capital, as long as this city is stable, the situation will not be too serious.

Ashina Huo'er dared to run the Tongwan City so confidently that he paid no attention to the advance of the garrison. On the one hand, he was helpless, and on the other hand, with his many years of experience in marching and fighting, he concluded that the rapid advance of the garrison could not last long.

Even if the garrison regiment had a sufficient supply of food and grass, the soldiers would not be able to stand it if they continued to march and work at high intensity for a month in the middle of winter, which was extremely cold. The soldiers of the garrison regiment are certainly elite, but after all, they are still all men and not iron, and they must be rested.

If the garrison dares to continue to advance regardless of the physical exertion of the soldiers, it will be said that Ashina Huo'er will have to wait for work, and the tired soldiers of the given northern garrison will face the attack. Once this kind of opportunity arises, a battle-hardened veteran like Ashina Huo'er will definitely not let it go easily.

Those elite scouts of the Tuliao State who couldn't catch up like vultures, who were always coiled outside the camp of the Dingbei garrison, and who from time to time rushed to within two miles to get closer and observe, were the guarantee that Ashina Huo'er would be able to seize this kind of fighter.

It must be said that emaciated camels are bigger than horses. These Tuliao scouts are really elite anomalies.

Although the Tuliao Kingdom has begun to decline now, the elite golden wolf cavalry has long abandoned the strength of the generation of golden wolf cavalry more than ten years ago who are not afraid of death. But the habit of living on horseback for generations still ensures that the Tuliao State can always come up with the best cavalry in the world and always produce the most elite scouts.

If it weren't for the support of Li Deyi and his fifty-three students, the scouts of the garrison regiment would have been defeated in the duel with the elite scouts of Tuliao.

In the past month, the two sides have frequently exchanged horses on this snowfield. This kind of individual combat is particularly cruel to the test of soldiers, and once defeated without help, there must be only one end, that is, death.

According to the statistics of the casualties of scouts on both sides in this month, if you only look at the superficial figures, the casualties of the reconnaissance cavalry on both sides are about the same. But in fact, the scouts of the Tuliao State who died in Li De's hands accounted for forty percent, and the other forty percent were won by Li Deyi's fifty-three students, and the results of the garrison regiment's reconnaissance cavalry were less than twenty percent.

In other words, the garrison regiment scouts were in a contest with the scouts of the Tuliao State, and the battle loss ratio was five to one.

The number of scouts lost by the garrison regiment in the past month is even equal to the number of losses in a large-scale operation. Even in the battle of exterminating the three major tribes of the grassland, the garrison regiment did not lose so many cavalry.

Faced with this situation, Li Deyi had to adjust his strategy, extend his patrol time and patrol range, and reduce the reconnaissance range and time of his brothers again and again. Li Deyi would rather be tired and his eyes red and his body tired, and the Humvee lose weight again, than watch the brothers continue to die and be injured like this.

Throughout December, Li Deyi always gritted his teeth to support the patrol mission of the garrison regiment, and never blamed the scout brothers. For he knew that his brethren were all good, and that there was no one of them.

Although the brothers of the garrison dared to fight, they had only been on their horses for a few years. The Tuliao scouts grew up on horseback when they were young, and both their riding skills and archery skills far surpassed the cavalry of the garrison regiment. It is normal for the garrison regiment to scout and cavalry to defeat the Tuliao scouts.

Li Deyi never said a word about his brothers, but silently carried the girder and kept gritting his teeth and insisting. The baby who grew up in the mountains naturally has a tenacity.

Fortunately, the ice fort of the garrison regiment was finally completed, and as the army moved forward, Li Deyi's patrol range could also be reduced, and he could finally relax and rest.

Today is the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and the New Year is about to be celebrated. The garrison battalion had advanced to only three hundred miles away from Tongwan City, and the ice castle had been built all the way.

Today's garrison camp is particularly lively, and the soldiers' wives who set off from Dingbei County, thousands of miles away, finally arrived at the front camp. In order to reunite a cadre of soldiers with his wife, Regiment Commander Liu transferred more than 10,000 military tents from the logistics battalion with a wave of his hand, and built a special family battalion in the security place behind the camp for the soldiers to live with their wives. Regiment Commander Liu also deliberately gave the soldiers a holiday, allowing them to live with their wives for three consecutive days without having to live in military tents.

The soldiers were able to reunite with their wives, but the garrison could not relax in the slightest. At this distance, it is necessary to be prepared for a surprise attack from Tongwan City at all times.

On the one hand, Commander Liu arranged for the soldiers with his daughter-in-law to reunite with his wife, and on the other hand, he arranged for the rest of the soldiers who were still fighting to wait for the day, ready to fight at any time.

Li Deyi took his fifty-three apprentices, who were still singles, and some cavalrymen of the garrison regiment who had not yet married their wives, to undertake the patrol task for these three days.

Li Xiuming, the daughter-in-law of head Liu, was helping her niece Li Changle take care of the children at home recently, so she didn't come with her this time. Li Deyi's daughter-in-law, Li Changle, had just given birth to a child, and it was a busy time, so of course she couldn't come.

Fortunately, when Emperor Li Shiluan gave a gift to his grandson this time, he sent a female official in the palace who was proficient in taking care of mothers. Under the careful care of this female officer, Li Changle finally finished his confinement smoothly, and his body did not fall into any problems.

Fortunately, there are still several daughters-in-law of veterans of the Weibei Battalion who are helping Li Changle take care of the children together, otherwise she would have been a delicate and wealthy lady who has been a dress for more than ten years and opened her mouth for food, how could she be busy with these things.

Li Deyi's son Chang'an is still in the stage of life where he only eats and sleeps, and he doesn't know what his father and mother are paying for him.

Li Deyi rode on the Humvee, leading the team to inspect, while thinking about what had happened in the past month.

During the whole month of December, the advance of the garrison regiment went smoothly as Commander Liu had predicted. Except for sending some scouts to closely monitor the garrison, Tongwan City has never sent a large army to intrude. Even the usual selection of forward riders before was not sent out once.

Li De thought about it, but he couldn't figure out why Ashina Huo'er would sit idly by and ignore the rapid advance of the garrison in the past month. Even if Ashina Huo'er doesn't care about this, Fan Guoshi should take action, why didn't Fan Guoshi even move at all?

Now the garrison regiment can be said to have hit the gate of the Tuliao country. Tongwancheng has been moving constantly before, why did Tongwancheng not move when the garrison really hit the door?

Sometimes it's just so coincidental. Li De had just raised doubts in his heart during the day, and at night, a secret report from Tongwan City solved his confusion.

According to the secret report, Fan Guoshi has not appeared for a month, and has not returned to Tongwan City since he went to ally with the Tujin Congress. Even the emperor of the Tuliao State has never returned.

Although it is still unknown what is happening in Tongwan City, this can also explain why Tongwan City has been silent and silent for the past month.

Li Deyi, Wang Meng, and Head Liu, the three of them thought of a possibility almost at the same time, "Fan Guoshi and Ashina Huo'er are fighting among themselves!" There must have been some irreconcilable filth between the two! ”

The three of them began to discuss what had happened in Tongwan City, working together to deduce the situation and try to figure out the ins and outs of the matter. However, in the end, because they had too little information, the three of them could not provide strong evidence to support what they deduced.

At this moment, Li Deyi suddenly put forward another statement: "Senior brother, do you remember what I told you?" When I went to Tongwan City with my third uncle, I encountered a strange army of soldiers and horses, under the banner of the Tuliao cavalry, but with a few feng shui gentlemen to explore everywhere. ”

Head Liu nodded: "You said this." What, what did you find? ”

"Senior brother, do you remember that I once collected a few pages of notes from the founding ancestor of the Ping Zhou Dynasty? The third uncle said that the first group of strange numbers on the note was actually marking a certain location. Li Deyi said.

"Why did I hear it so confused, you explain things in more detail." Head Liu said.

Li Deyi's words did not match the preface and afterword, and Head Liu didn't understand what he was talking about for a while.

"Senior brother, what did you say that in the past few hundred years, there has been no discovery in this world about the founding ancestor of Pingzhou?!" Li Deyi raised his voice and said.

"His graveyard?" Head Liu said. This is a well-known thing in the world, in the later years of the founding ancestor of the Ping Zhou Dynasty, he ordered the construction of a number of doubtful graves, and personally selected a few worthless things to accompany the burial, and specially told future generations not to be allowed to bury.

"Not bad! I have always suspected that these pairs of numbers indicating a certain location are the suspicious mounds built by the founding Taizu of the Ping Zhou Dynasty. The team of soldiers and horses I saw on the grassland who were looking for Mr. Feng Shui everywhere were probably looking for the true dragon cemetery of the founding ancestor of the Ping Zhou Dynasty! "Li got a piece.

"Why did you suddenly think of this, and what does this have to do with the situation in Tongwan City?" Head Liu was completely confused by his junior brother's unbridled leap of thinking.

"Senior brother, in the entire Tuliao country, except for Fan Guoshi, who will study where the cemetery of the founding ancestor of the Ping Zhou Dynasty is? The people of the Tuliao Kingdom, who don't know a few big characters, can they read the ancient books with relevant descriptions? Only Fan Guoshi has this knowledge, and he also has this means to find the tomb of the founder of the Ping Zhou Dynasty. And I heard that he likes to collect the secrets of sanctification, maybe he wants to find the true tomb of the founding ancestor of Pingzhou, find the holy scriptures inside, and want to try to transcendent sanctification again! Li Deyi said hurriedly.

"What do you mean to say that it is false for Fan Guoshi to escort the Emperor of the Tuliao State to the Huimeng. Take this opportunity to get out and go to secretly find the tomb of the founding ancestor of Pingzhou is true. Ashina Huo'er didn't have Fan Guoshi to sit in Tongwancheng, so he didn't dare to bring troops out to fight us? "Captain Liu finally understood what the junior brother wanted to say.

"Yes, yes! That's what I mean! Li Deyi hurriedly said.

That's a reasonable reason. But now that the army of our garrison regiment is pressing, Fan Guoshi ignores the crisis in front of him, and takes a step back to find the cemetery of the founding ancestor of the Ping Zhou Dynasty. Could it be that he is confused? Head Liu asked.

Wang Meng obviously couldn't figure out the reason, so he had to turn his head to look at Li Deyi, waiting for the deputy head of the regiment to give an explanation.

Li De thought about it for a while, but he didn't figure out why Fan Guoshi was here.

He could only assume: "Senior brother, is there anything in the cemetery of the founding ancestor of the Ping Zhou Dynasty that can help him win our garrison regiment?" That's why this Fan Guoshi is desperate, and if he doesn't defend the city, he has to find the cemetery first. In other words, although Fan Guoshi lost an arm, he found some kind of secret method that could repair his injuries, but that secret method was in the cemetery of the founding Taizu of the Ping Zhou Dynasty. So Fan Guoshi would rather ignore the Ten Thousand Cities and find that cemetery? ”

Head Liu said: "Although this reason makes sense, it is too far-fetched. What's more, Fan Guoshi is also taking too much risk by doing this. Don't put a huge city of Tongwan, but count on the ethereal cemetery of the founding Taizu of Pingzhou. Fan Guoshi has been cautious all his life, and he has always been prudent and never easy to take risks. ”

Obviously, Li Deyi's far-fetched reason is not actually convincing.

The three of them discussed for a long time, but they could not come up with a convincing result, and finally they could only put aside the discussion of the situation in Tongwan City for the time being, and turned their heads to concentrate on the garrison's own affairs.

Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is certainly able to survive a hundred battles. But when the conditions do not allow, it is difficult to "know the other", so you might as well be "confidant" first.

"Recently, I am planning to have a good New Year with the brothers. These days you are more tired, pick up the girder of the patrol. Head Liu instructed his junior brother.

"Don't worry, brother, no problem!" Li Deyi said with confidence.

"Wang Jingluo, you take the Yiren cavalry to protect the three grain routes. Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, we must not let the materials that are transported be damaged. Head Liu turned his head and instructed Wang Meng again.

Wang Meng nodded in order, and then gave a military salute.

At this time, Fan Guoshi finally converged with the thousands of selected front horses of his son Fan Zhongju, and the soldiers and horses in Fan Guoshi's hands were close to 20,000.

At this time, Fan Guoshi's location was in the southeast of Tujin Kingdom, less than a hundred miles away from the sea. After converging with Wu Switch's thousands of iron cavalry, Fan Guoshi scattered all the cavalry and scattered them within a hundred miles of the sea, and began to vigorously search for something.

And Ashina Wolf Qing, looking at the foolish emperor of the Tuliao Kingdom who was staying in his big tent, began to think hard about how to use this fool to knock out enough benefits from Tongwan City.
