It was the darkest hour of the day, but the lights were bright in the tent of the Vietnamese cavalry captain, and the generals had never slept, analyzing the news from the scouts.

"Report!" In the midst of a hurried shout, a leather-armored scout ran into the big tent and knelt down and said, "General Qiyu, fifty miles to the west, I found a Tatar army, about 4,000 people, rushing towards it. ”

"Probe!" Seeing that the scout had retreated, Lin Changqing laughed and said, "It has been discovered that the Tatar army has two routes, and I think it was General Cao who crossed the snow-capped mountain, and General Song's strategy worked." ”

Speaking of this, after a pause, Lin Changqing continued: "These two roads are more than 10,000 elite soldiers, and the other way, if the general is not mistaken, it should be the Leopard Department, intercepting us with 10,000 elite soldiers, and Demutu is really enough to look down on us." ”

Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter in the big tent, breaking the dullness of the night. When the laughter fell, Lin Changqing's face had returned to silence, and he instructed a silver-armored young general: "Li Wei, you go back the way you came to find General Sun, and ask him to arrive within two days, otherwise, the military law will deal with it." ”

This time, Lin Changqing only brought 200 personal guards to go first, and Sun Shaowei of the leopard battalion led the Chinese army and horses to set off one day later. The reason why Lin Changqing made such an arrangement was that he was worried that once something went wrong on Cao Han's side, he would be able to return to Haojige and make another arrangement, not to mention, if the army entered the grassland and met the Tatar army, it would be a lot of fun.

Bowing down, the silver-armored young general immediately shouted: "The last general has an order!" ”

Watching the silver armor general leave, and then looking at the already white sky, Lin Changqing smiled again: "The night has passed like this, everyone go down to rest for a while, today, you still have to be busy, it's just that General Wang, you have to work hard." ”

He hugged his fists and saluted Lin Changqing, and Wang Zijie said: "The general is polite, you can also rest for a while, you are tired for a day and a night!" ”

Staying up for a day and a night is nothing to Lin Changqing, but as the commander of the first army, he must always stay sober, so he nodded and said, "Well, let's go down!" ”

Hearing Lin Changqing say this, the generals left one after another, but not long after Lin Changqing lay down, Wang Zijie hurriedly came over to wake him up, and bowed: "General Qiyu, a thousand men and horses from the Tatar Department came straight to the valley mouth, and it seemed that they were going to stay and clean up the spies. ”

Although he was awakened by Wang Zijie, when his words fell, Lin Changqing had already guessed Demutu's intentions. Since the Yue cavalry captain crossed the snow-capped mountains and entered the Adar steppe, it should be the suspicious soldiers who stayed here, and Demutu left a thousand soldiers and horses to eliminate this suspicious army.

Thinking of this, Lin Changqing fell into deep thought again, if he couldn't deal with these thousand soldiers and horses, he would be in big trouble. It will definitely not work to destroy them, it will arouse the vigilance of Demutu, so they can only be lured away, but there are only two hundred men and horses here, who should lead the army?

"Seven Princes!" At this moment, Lin Changqing couldn't help but think of Chu Haoyu in his mind, and then shook his head, Chu Haoyu's identity was too noble, and he didn't dare to put him in danger.

"Wang Zijie." Lin Changqing shook his head again. Raiding the Dots with 3,000 people was a great risk in itself, and he needed this prince Jie, the head of the scout.

At this moment, Lin Changqing couldn't help but let out a sigh. Changshi Cao Han and Leopard Battalion Chang Ruhai led the army over the snow-capped mountains, and Demutu had already led a large army to rush there, and it was estimated that the road would not be easy to walk. Sun Shaowei led the Chinese army and never arrived, and Ma Zhongping, who had followed him for many years, had died in battle. As for the others, it is not easy to evade the pursuit of more than 1,000 people with 200 men.

Seeing that Lin Changqing's face was cloudy, Wang Zijie said, "General, why don't you lead them away?" ”

Shaking his head, but before Lin Changqing could speak, Chu Haoyu had already walked into the big tent. Chong Lin Changqing saluted, and Chu Haoyu asked directly: "Who is the general worried about?" ”

Looking up at Chu Haoyu, Lin Changqing didn't answer, but opened his mouth and said, "Why did General Song come over?" ”

Chu Haoyu didn't fall asleep after leaving just now, but was meditating and pranayama, and he heard Wang Zijie's words, and he also knew the reason why Lin Changqing was worried, just looking at Lin Changqing's interjection topic, Chu Haoyu understood his thoughts, he would never let himself lead the army.

Thinking about this, Chu Haoyu's expression did not change in any way, and he opened his mouth to reply: "I heard that General Wang had an urgent report, and the last general rushed over. ”

Nodding, Lin Changqing asked again, "Is there a candidate for General Song?" ”

At this moment, Lin Changqing obviously made a decision. On the vast grassland, with 200 elite soldiers who led away more than 1,000 people, if there are wise generals, they may be spared, otherwise, I am afraid that they will be completely annihilated, then there is no suitable general now, Lin Changqing can only reduce losses as much as possible, and exchange a hundred generals for the safety of the army.

Chu Haoyu really wanted to lead the troops away from the thousand men and horses of the Tatar Department, and then design to destroy them, but Lin Changqing's meaning couldn't be more obvious, so Chu Haoyu didn't speak. After thinking for a moment, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and said, "Wu Zhenfeng, the deputy general of the Shenwei Battalion, is slightly good. ”

Lin Changqing had already regarded these hundred people as outcasts, and after staring at Chu Haoyu for a moment, he said, "Okay, the general will hand over a team of men and horses to General Wu and set off at the right time." ”

"Thank you, General!" Bowing down, Chu Haoyu walked out of the big tent.

When he found Wu Zhenfeng, Chu Haoyu didn't talk nonsense, and directly told him everything, that is, Lin Changqing regarded these hundred centaurs as an outcast, and Chu Haoyu didn't hide it from him, and then asked, "Do you dare?" ”

Under Chu Haoyu's gaze, Wu Zhenfeng laughed, and looked extremely hideous at the scar in the center of his face. In the laughter, Wu Zhenfeng said: "What don't you dare, your head has fallen off and there is a big scar." Moreover, the last general has to thank the general, and the general can rest assured that the last general will definitely lead the pursuers away. ”

Nodding, Chu Haoyu spoke again: "The purpose of our trip is the Dot, give you half a month, and rush to the Dot." ”

Bowing down, Wu Zhenfeng said in a deep voice: "The last general will be ordered!" ”

When Wu Zhenfeng left, Chu Zheng walked up and opened his mouth to ask, "Young Master, why did you think of letting him lead the army?" ”

Staring at Wu Zhenfeng's distant figure, Chu Haoyu said lightly: "I want to see if he can come back." ”

Tilting his head and looking at Chu Haoyu, Chu Zheng had a trace of doubt in his eyes, but he quickly threw this idea away, grinned and said: "Young master, the Tatar Ministry has been tricked, is there a war soon, this time is idle, the old slave's hands are itchy." ”

Nodding, Chu Haoyu set his eyes on the Adar grassland, which was white and unstained with the slightest dust, and said slowly: "Wait for the army to arrive, and raid the Dot." ”

Standing on a high place and looking at the distant Mobei iron hooves, Lin Changqing's calm eyes showed a touch of sadness. Most of these more than 100 people have followed him for more than ten years, and some of them are sons inheriting their father's business and younger brothers inheriting their brothers' business, Lin Changqing can call out the names of each of them, but today, he wants to bury them on the grassland with his own hands, and his bones cannot be found.

Standing beside Lin Changqing, Chu Haoyu could clearly feel Lin Changqing's sadness and helplessness, but what made Chu Haoyu strange was that he actually thought of the words Ci Bu in charge of the soldiers in his heart. "Ci is not in charge of the soldiers!" After reciting it silently in his heart, Chu Haoyu's heart was cold, making his solemn face more and more cold.

Soon, Lin Changqing put away all his emotions and said slowly: "Tomorrow, Shaowei should be able to arrive, and then raid the Dott clan." The patriarch of the Dott tribe is Ilad, who is also the commander of the Leopard Tribe, this person is extremely fierce and warlike, and every year he will lead elite troops into my Dachu to burn and loot. If the general is not bad, in order to encircle and annihilate my Yue cavalry captain, Iled should take most of the elite of the leopard department, and then ask Batel for credit, as for Demutu, it is estimated that he will go to Umut and wait for my army of Great Chu. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Changqing seemed to know Chu Haoyu's doubts, and opened his mouth to explain: "It's March now, and at the beginning of April, all the clans in Mobei will worship Immortal Heaven. Changshengtian is the highest god on the grassland, believing that everything is given by Changshengtian, and the Han is the representative of Changshengtian and is protected by Changshengtian. Therefore, the great sacrifice of the Tatar tribe, many tribes will rush over, not to mention the eight tribes of lions, tigers and leopards, and this time in the immortal heaven, the two largest Tatar tribes and the ancient Turkic tribe in Mobei will marry to fight against our Great Chu, and when the time comes, it will definitely be a hundred tribes. ”

When Lin Changqing's words fell, Chu Haoyu didn't speak immediately, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "There is still a month?" Seeing Lin Changqing nodded, Chu Haoyu asked again: "I remember that General Lin once said that we need to rush to Umut at the beginning of April, and then take the opportunity to capture Umut. ”

Although Lin Changqing guessed Chu Haoyu's intentions, he nodded and said, "The military order is so." After a pause, Lin Changqing continued: "Demutu's trip is almost certainly Umute. General Song has never been to Umute, the city of Umut is strong, not inferior to any fortified city of my Great Chu, hmph, the construction of Umute, at least the loss of 100,000 of my Great Chu, it is not an exaggeration to say that Umut is made of my Great Chu's blood and bones. Moreover, in the bloody battle of the thirteenth year, the mountains and seas were all dyed bloody, and although Battle retreated, in anger, he took away countless elites, and used their blood to dye Oumut also bloody. ”

The first time he heard about this kind of thing, Chu Haoyu's eyes couldn't help flashing a cold light, and he made a decision in his heart. Glancing at Lin Changqing, Chu Haoyu set his eyes on the vast grassland, and asked lightly, "After the raid on the Dot, what are General Lin's plans?" ”

Lin Changqing also set his eyes on the grassland, and said: "There are nearly 100,000 Dots, and the general will never be able to kill people, so Iled must get the news." At that time, it was not what Ben planned to do, but how to avoid the pursuit of Demutu and Ilad. ”

Suddenly, Chu Haoyu understood Lin Changqing's intentions. Now, the army must not continue to go to Umut, so it is better to create chaos on the Mobei grassland, not to mention, all the tribes in Mobei will go to the Tatar Golden Horde to worship the Immortal Heaven, which is a godsend. Suddenly thinking of something, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and asked again: "What about the three hundred wounded soldiers?" ”

Lin Changqing had already had a countermeasure, and opened his mouth to say: "Demutu went to pursue General Cao, and General Wu led away this thousand men and horses, and when we raided the Dot, Demutu will definitely divide the troops into two ways and have nothing else to do, these three hundred soldiers should be able to find a place to hide." ”

Speaking of this, Lin Changqing glanced at Chu Haoyu meaningfully, and said slowly: "It's just that Luo Dashuai ordered the general to rush to Umut, thinking that there is another deep meaning, and now the general is afraid that it will be difficult to arrive on time, and he will trouble General Song to go to restore his life!" Moreover, when the time comes, hundreds of thousands of soldiers will face each other, and it will be only when General Song comes to understand what a real war is. ”

Suddenly, Chu Haoyu's heart was shocked, and he stared straight at Lin Changqing. After a moment of silence, Chu Haoyu finally bowed and said, "The last general will be ordered!" ”
