Chapter 40: Sorrow urges Sun Jian
The vast grassland is all turquoise as far as the eye can see, and only the blue sky in the distance changes the monotony in the eyes.
A group of ragged Han soldiers walked aimlessly on the grassland, and a Han soldier with long hair ornaments said, "General, we have been in the grassland for a few days, and we have less and less food, and the brothers will not be able to last a few days if we continue like this." ”
The leading Han army sighed when he heard this, then looked at the blue sky, confirmed the time and said, "Take a break!" Otherwise, we won't have a way to deal with anything. ”
When the tun chief heard this, he turned around and shouted, "Brothers, take a rest. ”
In response to the Tun Chief's words, there was a sound of falling to the ground, and the leading Han army looked at the sky and muttered, "Oh God! Why is Sun Jian's life so bitter! Since joining the army, I have taken the initiative twice to attack, and both times I fled in all directions, when it was still on the land of my Han family, but now it is on the land of the enemy. Ay! ”
This person turned out to be Sun Jian, whose whereabouts were unknown after the night attack on Gaima Mountain, but how could he go to the grassland?
You must know that the former Wo country, now Goguryeo is more than a thousand miles away from the grassland.
It turned out that Sun Jian killed the royal family members of Goguryeo during the night attack, which made the Goguryeo commander furious and sent troops to chase and kill.
Sun Jian had no choice but to flee eastward, but the east was Goguryeo's territory, and naturally there was no place for Sun Jian to live, so Sun Jian fled north with his people.
Every time he had to avoid the pursuit of Goguryeo soldiers, he actually got the wrong direction and entered the Xianbei realm.
Xianbei and the Han Dynasty can be described as mortal enemies, and the lord of Xianbei at that time, Tan Shihuai, was shot and wounded by the Han army, Sun Jian had to flee again, but this time the pursuers changed from Goguryeo to Xianbei.
In recent months, because Xianbei wanted to attack the Han Dynasty on a large scale, this allowed Sun Jian and others, who are now only eighty people, to escape, in order to return to the Han realm, Sun Jian had to walk aimlessly on the grassland, of course, the direction is the Han Dynasty in the south.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves reached Sun Jian's ears, Sun Jian's face was happy, and then he said loudly, "Brothers, someone is coming, get ready." ”
"Drink!" As soon as they heard that someone was coming, these dozens of Han troops immediately cheered up.
First of all, these people can tell them where this is and how far it is from the Han Realm, and secondly, the war horses under the command of these people can be eaten.
As for riding on horses and marching quickly to the south, this point has long been ignored by either Sun Jian or the rest of the Han army, first, the number of war horses is not enough, and second, there is not enough food.
These two are not enough, so these Han soldiers do not consider the beautiful scene of riding forward at all.
When they got closer, three Xianbei soldiers rode their horses and saw that the Han army, which had more people than themselves, did not retreat but advanced.
This made the Han army, who had already crawled to surround from both sides, speechless for a while, but the pie sent to the door, Sun Jian naturally would not miss it.
"Kill!"
Sun Jian shouted loudly and took the lead in throwing out a war knife, without riding a horse, the three people of Xianbei could kill these Han soldiers just by shooting arrows from a distance, so every time they encountered this situation, it was Sun Jian, a guy with excellent arm strength, who threw the war knife as a flying knife.
"Poof!"
A Xianbei soldier was hit in the chest by Sun Jian's flying knife, and flew out of his horse in an instant.
The remaining two looked at each other and ran to the left and right, but before they were closer, the Han army hidden on the side jumped out of the grass and threw the Xianbei soldiers off their horses.
Then he asked the rest of the Han army to capture the two people, and Sun Jian laughed and said, "Good, good, good, big dog, iron egg, well done." ”
Sun Jian was very relieved that no one died this time, after getting along for such a long time, Sun Jian had established a lot of friendship with these soldiers, and even knew the birthdays of these soldiers.
At this time, a soldier of the Han army named Tie Dan walked over with a Xianbei soldier and said with a smile: "General, you ask." ”
These Han soldiers all knew that every time they caught someone, Sun Jian had to interrogate them, and the Han army naturally had no problems, because they also wanted to go home.
"What are you doing?" Sun Jian put the knife on the shoulder of the Xianbei man and asked.
The Xianbei man glanced at Sun Jian and did not speak, and when Sun Jian saw this, he exerted a slight force, and a blood mark appeared on the neck of the Xianbei man.
"I say, I say." Xianbei felt the chill on Sun Jian's knife and hurriedly said.
"If you say no, you won't have this one!" Sun Jian put the knife back into the scabbard and said disdainfully.
Seeing this, the Xianbei man hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, we are the heralds of King Murong. ”
Sun Jian was stunned when he heard this, and asked puzzledly, "King Murong?" Isn't your king a sandalwood locust? ”
"King Tanshihuai was killed by your Han army, King Murong took over the throne of King Xianbei, and now in order to avenge King Tanshihuai, King Murong personally led an army of 300,000 to attack the Han realm."
"What?" Sun Jian exclaimed, he didn't expect Tanshi Huai to die, and the new king actually sent 300,000 troops to the south, which is a big deal.
Immediately, Sun Jian was wondering, why didn't the person he caught before say this?
How did Sun Jian know that this was a time difference! When Sun Jian entered the territory of Xianbei, Tanshi Huai was injured and returned, in order to stabilize the situation, how could it be possible for ordinary people in Xianbei to know about Tan Shihuai's injury.
Then Sun Jian fled all the way, and when Murong became the king, Sun Jian was already about to leave the Xianbei border, and he arrested some low-level Xianbei people.
How do these Xianbei people know so much, coupled with the lack of information, even in the remote places of the Han Dynasty, it takes half a year or even a year for the emperor to know, not to mention that the information is not as smooth as the Xianbei of the Han Dynasty.
Immediately afterwards, Sun Jian inquired about the specific situation in detail, and when he learned that this batch of heralds was going to Fuyu Kingdom, Sun Jian was shocked.
What does it mean that a country sends someone to a third country and is not an envoy?
This shows that the third party has reached an agreement with that side that whenever the time comes, it will send troops to attack the other country, and it is obvious that it will be the Han Dynasty that will be attacked.
Sun Jian took the man to a distance and interrogated the other Xianbei soldier, and the result was the same, Sun Jian also found a letter from the dead Xianbei soldier.
"Li Zhi!" Sun Jian shouted.
The tun chief hurriedly said, "Here! ”
"Er immediately took two men and rode to the southwest, and if he saw most of the Han army, inform the chief general of the situation here, and ask him to report it to His Majesty. This matter is urgent and must be delivered. ”
Sun Jian stared at Li Zhi and said solemnly, in fact, it was the best choice for Sun Jian to go, but he couldn't leave these brothers behind, after all, they had been suffering together for so long.
Although he disregarded the overall situation, this place was only two hundred miles away from most of the Han army, and Sun Jian still believed that Li Zhi could do it well, and his ability could be seen from the fact that there was only one officer left under Sun Jian's command now.
Li Zhi replied solemnly, "The general can rest assured, and he will live up to the general's trust." (To be continued.) )
