Chapter Forty-Six: Slow Down
In 141 B.C., the global climate began to change, when a cold snap from the east of Europe had invaded the Altai Mountains, which later became the Russian-Mongolian border. East to Shileluo River. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The northwesternmost territory of the Huns was invaded by a sudden snowstorm, not only the grass of the grassland was covered with ice and snow, the Ubudsunoer Lake in the name of warm water also had a mutation, the warm lake in the past, its temperature was not poured cold by the cold weather, but became hotter, with Ubudsunoer Lake as the center of a large area of pastures within a radius of dozens of miles, where the grass suddenly withered yellow, and the cattle and sheep of the Huns also broke out of diseases strangely. Compared with the large-scale changes in the weather in the west, the eastern sky and the sky began to slowly turn yellow, and it was no longer so pale.
What people don't know is that in the far Arctic, one of the few global climate changes on Earth, the water level has started to fall in this place. The original small ice cubes in the Arctic are like a sponge, which is absorbing water to strengthen itself, and countless ice blocks of hundreds of kilometers are formed, and they begin to collide with each other, and the turbulent sea water undercurrent stimulates the deep buried ice cubes, so that they move rapidly, and the number of impacts, fusions, and impacts, the changes in the water flow affect the global climate, and the ice that splits from the Arctic drifts to the Atlantic Ocean and even the Greenland Sea, and it is precisely because of this that the weather on all continents begins to turn colder.
Why do we need to know those? In fact, every time the weather changes, it is China, which has a relatively good geographical location, that is indirectly harmed. The weather in the west turned cold, and the nomads began to migrate to the relatively warm east, so there will inevitably be a war for the purpose of fighting for land, which is and will continue to be the case in the future, whether it is the era when the Xiongnu most frequently attacked the Han State, or in the era of the Wuhu Rebellion, every climate change will bring indirect harm to the Han people living in China.
Lin Bin and the others galloped quickly on horseback, they were going to the northwest to see why the group of Huns was so important, no one knew that Lin Bin was desperate to get the materials for life to change the current predicament. According to Han Shuo, the group of Huns is not from the Xiongnu tribe in this vicinity, so it means that they came in a hurry, and because they were separated from more than 200 cavalry last night to chase and kill the Han army that escaped, their number should not be too much at this time.
Lin Bin guessed that this group of Huns must have robbed something protected by the guards, and it was probably the wealth that the Han State wanted to send to the Xiongnu Shan Yuting in order to ask for peace. It can be boldly assumed that some people in the Xiongnu tribe were dissatisfied with Shan Yuting's order to stop plundering the Han State, so they robbed the Han envoys to pay tribute, so that the Xiongnu Shan Yuting thought that the Han State did not have the sincerity to ask for peace, so that the Xiongnu Da Shan Yu was furious and revoked the order to stop plundering the Han border fortress, and instead supported the tribes to burn and plunder the Han State.
In fact, Lin Bin's idea was generally not wrong, as a Han but the eunuch who became the military division of the Xiongnu Shan Yuting, Zhongxing said, he (she? He was very reluctant to stop the 'bloodletting' of the Han State, and instigated the ambitious Yi Zhixian to sabotage the peace between the Xiongnu and the Han State.
The Bank of China told a plan, and donated a lot of wealth to Yi Zhixian, and asked him to go to the king of Hutu, who was famous for his greed and lust, under the command of King Youxian, who was famous for his greed and lust, and Yi Zhixian found the king of Hutu, who was about to send troops to help the king of Aries, and first persuaded the king of Hutu to borrow him 500 cavalry with a large amount of wealth and the most beautiful women in the two tribes as collateral.
Yi Zhixian borrowed the cavalry of the 500 Xiu Tu Department, and he led people to ambush near the relatively complicated terrain of Ma Yi, and unexpectedly killed and dispersed the 500 Janissary cavalry escorting Princess Nangong in the Han territory, and grabbed the car of Princess Nangong, and also robbed a large amount of property that the Han State wanted to give to the Xiongnu Shan Yuting. Yi Zhixian was ambitious, he was reluctant to abandon his belongings, and he didn't want to kill Liu Jing, the princess of Nangong, who could be used as a bargaining chip to threaten the emperor of the Han State in the future, and he didn't want to return the cavalry borrowed from the Xiutu Department to the king of Xiutu, so he stayed near Gaoque in Hetao.
Of course, the above Lin Bin didn't know, he only had to try his luck and lead more than fifty knights to explore around. Heaven did not have much time left for him, and it would be dawn in three hours, but God was kind to him, and more than fifty horsemen were galloping quickly towards the unprepared Yizhi diagonal station.
Autumn wind hunting, the north of Xinjiang to the end of summer is a little cool, a autumn cold is heavier, riding on horseback galloping, the oncoming cold wind is blowing, blowing makes people's eyes hurt, have to squint to look at the dark in front of no light, suddenly, the war horses in the team all hold the horse's hooves, the front hooves are empty, but there is no neighing.
They were well-educated Hun war horses, and the so-called war horses were far more disciplined than ordinary horses, and they did not neigh for no reason except in pain.
"What's going on?"
"My lord, the horses don't want to continue to the northwest for some reason, they ...... They seem to smell something and are about to change direction uncontrollably! ”
What does it taste like? The Huns were fed by the Huns for a long time, it can be said that they were used to eating the bran of the meat foam since childhood, and some of the Huns would grind the bones of the animals and mix the forage for the war horses to eat, and the Huns believed that the war horses fed in this way could become strong and run faster.
Lin Bin thoughtfully stroked the mane of the war horse under the seat, "The direction of the wind, which direction is the wind blowing from?" ”
A soldier took off his scarf and lifted it in mid-air, feeling the direction of the wind, "My lord, it's the north!" ”
"The nose of a war horse is smarter than that of a dog?" Lin Bin thought very uncertainly, and immediately ordered the team to march north.
This time, Lin Bin didn't dare to let the team gallop at full strength, they came to a slope and stopped, for safety reasons, they not only fixed the horse's mouth with firewood to keep the horse silent, but also took out the cloth that should have been used to bandage the wound to cover the horse's eyes. Lin Bin didn't know if it was useful to do this, but he knew that it was always right to try.
"Ride in groups of five, disperse and explore, whether you find it or not, gather here in two quarters of an hour!"
"No!"
Lin Bin felt a little stupid, he used to think that a soldier should not trust the so-called intuition, but when he approached this slope, he always felt that something should happen here. The feeling was very strong, as if an innocent voice was constantly calling, and although it could not be heard, it could be felt.
Lin Bin looked to the east, afraid that there would be a sudden dawn at this time, and when he went up the slope, he simply jumped off the war horse, left the war horse to the robe in the rear, and came to the top of the slope alone to look at the other side, he saw the bonfire, and was stunned for a moment......
"Really...... Is there really anyone? Lin Bin's first reaction was to raise his hand to stop the robe behind him from coming up, and then he looked down intently, there were several bonfires about a thousand meters ahead, and the unique wool felt of the Huns was faintly visible in the firelight, trying to count how many wool felts there were, but he felt that his ankles were pulled, and when he looked back, he was a pawn.
"What's wrong?"
"My lord, look at ......" he pointed to the right front, where there seemed to be two people leaning on the slope, motionless, "Hun sentinels!" ”
Lin Bin's forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat, he was still too careless, if it weren't for the Hun soldiers who were on guard and fell asleep, if it wasn't for the fact that it was dark now, with the position where the Hun soldiers were standing, they wouldn't be able to get close at all.
Lin Bin drew his dagger, "You pacify the war horse, stay where you are", and then crawled forward, he is familiar with the assassination business, and can kill the enemy's sentries silently, this is his old job. He was like a snake that was constantly gliding, approaching silently, his cold eyes staring at the two Huns who were snoring with their heads tilted.
Approaching, Lin Bin went around to the back of the Hun soldier, he got up very slowly, stretched out his left hand to support the body of a Hun soldier, and in an instant, a sharp light flashed in the darkness, and the dagger sank into the temple of the Hun soldier......
A soldier who is really familiar with assassination will not wipe other people's necks, and the best assassination plan for silence is to use sharp weapons to directly hit the enemy's temples, if you wipe the neck, the moment the trachea is cut, the person will definitely wake up, the throat can still make a sound, the person will not die directly, or will be breathing for at least three minutes before the lungs will die of lack of oxygen.
Lin Bin killed the two Hun sentinels, leaned their corpses on the horse's legs, and retreated prostrately.
"Go back to ......"
