Although the Han army adopted a dragnet search and advanced fast enough, it was inevitable that fish would slip through the net. The one who escaped was a teenager named Demo. He was the son of a leader of a medium-sized tribe with more than 3,000 young men, and this medium-sized tribe was attached to the large tribe of the leader.

Di Mo is only thirteen years old this year, but the children of the grassland, who have been riding horses and archery since childhood, also have a good kung fu, and are very clever, and are very popular with the boss, and have promised to recruit him as a son-in-law. Therefore, after Mo Mo escaped alone, the first thing that came to mind was to defect to the tribe of the leader.

Kuitou personally led the army to Taiyuan, and now the leader of the tribe is Kuitou's wife Mo Ergan. Hearing that the Han army appeared in the Mobei grassland and eliminated Jianman's camp, he couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly sent someone to invite the wives of the two tribal leaders, Fu Luohan and Bu Dugen, to come and discuss. Because Fu Luohan and Bu Dugen have gone to the Central Plains, these two tribes are now also headed by women. What Mo Er Gan didn't know was that the camp of Fuluohan had also been captured by the Han people, and Fuluohan's wives and concubines had become the spoils of war of the Han people.

The camp of the Budugen tribe is not far from the camp of the Kuitou, and Budugen's wife Yeni received an invitation from Mo Ergan and hurried with dozens of guards, and said with a smile as soon as she entered the camp: "Mo Ergan, the Great Khans are busy fighting with the Han people, but you are interested in inviting me to drink here." ”

Mo Ergan was worried that the news of the Han army's raid on the Mobei grassland would cause chaos after it spread, so he temporarily imposed a blockade, so Yeni didn't know what was happening.

Seeing Ye Ni's heartless smile, Mo Er frowned and said, "Sister, come in with me, something is wrong!" ”

It turns out that Mo Ergan and Yeni are not only concubines, but also cousins.

Ye Ni's face became solemn at this time, and as she walked, she asked, "Sister, what happened?" ”

Entering the big tent, Mo Er Gan waved his hand to let the servants retreat, but left Di Mo behind, and said, "You can ask him." ”

With tears in his eyes, he recounted the horrific plight of the tribe. He was the son of a tribal chief, and he was so young that both Jenni and Morgan believed that he would not lie.

"You go out first, I'll discuss this matter with my sister, and I will definitely help you get revenge." Ye Ni waved her hand, turned to Mo Ergan and said, "Sister, what are you going to do with Di Mo?" ”

Mo Er was stunned for a moment and said, "Di Mo is the person who the Great Khan likes, and he has already promised my little daughter to him, but what do you mean by this?" ”

Ye Ni sneered: "Sister, you are so confused! Things are different now. Didn't the Great Khan take a fancy to him at the beginning because his tribe had 3,000 warriors? Now that his tribe has nothing, is his sister still going to give him her daughter? It's better to take advantage of this chaos, and as a result, his life will be saved, and it will be difficult to be a man! ”

Mo Er was shocked, but after thinking about it, he felt that Ye Ni's words were very reasonable. On the grassland, she originally spoke with strength, and Di Mo now has nothing, how can she continue to be her son-in-law. Although she is only a woman, as a tribal leader, a woman must not only be beautiful, but also know how to be witty and skillful, and be able to be ruthless. Mo Er Gan pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "My sister is right, this matter is up to you." Let's discuss how to avoid the Han Chinese. ”

After the death of Helian, the tribe of Jianman had gradually weakened, and the tribe of the three brothers, Kuitou, Fu Luohan, and Budugen, gradually became the largest tribe in Xianbei. The camps of these three tribes are naturally quite large-scale, and they are easy to be discovered by the Han army.

Yeni is quite scheming, and she has already made up her mind about this matter, otherwise she would not have considered the matter of silence at this critical juncture. After listening to Mo Ergan's words, she asked rhetorically: "Then according to my sister's opinion, how to deal with it?" ”

Mo Ergan is a straight man, and said without thinking: "The Han people are menacing, and the young and strong people in our clan have been transferred to the Central Plains, and it may be difficult to resist." It is better to migrate eastward and avoid its edge for a while. ”

Yeni waved her hand and said, "Sister's words are wrong! According to Di Mo, the Han people killed all the way from west to east, and even if they avoided Liaodong, they probably wouldn't be able to hide. ”

Mo Ergan hesitated: "Then the only way to avoid the south is to Danhan Mountain, and then send someone to inform the Great Khan to lead the army back to help protect the people." ”

Ye Ni shook her head and said: "The Great Khan marched into the Central Plains this time, and his ambition is to win, if he hears that the Han people are sneaking up on the grassland, the army will definitely be in chaos, we must not mess up the Great Khan's position, and fall into the Han people's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain!" This news cannot be made known to the Great Khan! ”

Mo Ergan trusted this cousin very much, pondered for a moment, and said: "Then according to your opinion, what should we do, we can't sit still." ”

Ye Ni suddenly smiled and said: "The grassland is big, and there is no place for it." Didn't the Han people come from the west? Then let's do the opposite. ”

Mo Ergan stood up and said in surprise: "You said let's go west!" ”

Ye Ni said triumphantly: "Sister, what are you worried about, are the Han people more familiar with the grassland than us?" After the sun set, we pulled out the camp to the west, and by dawn tomorrow, we were already behind the Han people, and they continued to the east, even if they turned over the grassland, they could not find our figure. ”

Mo Er Gan thought about it, and there was really no other better way, so he had to say: "Then according to what my sister said, the hour is not early, so my sister should go back and prepare." ”

The camp of the Budugen tribe was very close to here, and before dark, Yeni had arrived here with her people, and the people of the Kuitou tribe had already packed up. Seeing Yeni, Mo Er Gan said with a worried face: "The people of the Fuluohan tribe have not come yet. ”

Ye Ni waved her hand and said, "Sister, the Han people will kill at any time, we can't wait any longer, let's leave now!" ”

Those small tribes can be left alone, but the three of Kuitou, Fu Luo Han and Bu Du Gen were originally brothers, and it was because of the support of Fu Luo Han and Bu Du Gen that the Kui Tou sat on the throne of Xianbei Great Khan, Mo Er Gan was a little unbearable, and originally wanted to wait a little longer, but he couldn't hold on to Yeni insisted again and again, so he had to order to set off. Before leaving, Yeni did not forget to send someone to lure him quietly outside the camp and cut him in two with a knife.

The hiding place chosen by Mo Ergan is a hidden mountain col, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides and a small river in the south, which is a very good place for the Xianbei people to hide from the white plague in winter, but it is not suitable for grazing, and there is no herdsman's tent in it, so it will not attract the attention of the Han people, so it is indeed a good idea to move the old and weak women and children of these two tribes there. And according to the information brought by Di Mo, the Han people should have searched the col, and it should be absolutely safe, but there is not much time left for them, and they need to get there before dawn tomorrow.

Originally, such a small distance was an instant distance for the Xianbei people living on horseback, but Mo Ergan and Yeni were reluctant to abandon the large herd of cattle and sheep. In fact, even if the two of them could make a decision, the other clansmen would not agree. For the people living on the grassland, these cattle and sheep are not only their most valuable possessions, but also the food they rely on for survival. Without these cattle and sheep, they would not survive the winter.

Mo Ergan and Ye Ni's judgment was not wrong, just today during the day, the Han army had just searched the mountain pass. It's just that what they didn't expect was that it was Zhao Yun who searched for that mountain pass. After Zhao Yun had the idea of gathering the team, his first reaction was to use that mountain col as the meeting place. For the col was secluded enough, and it was convenient to keep prisoners and booty as long as a small force was sent to occupy the surrounding hills.

Almost at the same time as Mo Ergan and them set off, the Han army also sounded the horn of assembly. The hundred-member squad of the Han army who heard the signal also blew the horn in their hands one after another, and the sound of the horn spread farther and farther, and soon spread all over the empty and vast grassland. Bands of Han cavalry drove prisoners of war and large herds of cattle and sheep towards the col.

There were also large herds of cattle and sheep in the ranks, but the Han army was much faster. Whether it is a prisoner or a cow or a sheep, as long as they walk slowly, the soldiers will not hesitate to give a knife without the slightest scruples. Therefore, in order to save their lives, the captives did not run slowly at all, although they did not ride horses.

The sky is getting dark, and the terrible howl of wild wolves can be heard on the grassland from time to time, which is terrifying to listen to. However, the tribe of Kuitou and Budugen was outnumbered, and there were more than 2,000 warriors alone, so there was no need to fear any wolves, but Morgan and Yeni still ordered their tribesmen to light torches. Morgan and Yeni were women after all, and they didn't know anything about marching and fighting, they only knew that there were many children in the ranks, and the light of the fire could force back the beasts and prevent them from being accidentally injured.

But in the middle of the night, the large firelight completely revealed their whereabouts. The Han cavalry squads, which had also rushed to the col from all directions, soon spotted the "migrating" team and stayed far behind.

The Han cavalry also marched overnight, but instead of lighting torches, they passed messages to each other through signal flares to tell others where they were. Most of the hundred-man team had already rushed to the mountain pass, and Zhao Yun had also learned the news that a large number of Xianbei herdsmen were rushing to this side.

Zhao Yun looked at Ma Chao and asked, "Meng Qi, in your opinion, what is the origin of these Xianbei people?" ”

Ma Chao had just driven the captives and booty of the Jianman tribe into the mountain col, and when he heard the news, he said without thinking: "No matter what way he comes from, give the last general a group of men and horses, and the last general will definitely step on them!" ”

Zhao Yun shook his head and said: "In the dark night, many situations are difficult to figure out, even if you win, it is difficult to catch them all, it is better to be cautious." Well, send a few more squads to follow them and see where they're going. ”

Mo Ergan and Yeni's men moved slowly, while the Han cavalry came and went like the wind, and news kept coming. The team was getting closer and closer to the col, twenty, ten, five. Zhao Yun frowned, and muttered, "Is it coming at us?" ”
