After Liu Jiu finished shouting, he looked ahead again, this time he went south, in addition to leaving five thousand Huns to defend the territory, the remaining more than 30,000 soldiers were all brought out, and because he swept away several Wuhuan troops, and got 5,000 servant troops, removing two roads and 6,000 vanguards, his headquarters reached 29,000, nearly 30,000, with such a large army to attack Beidi County, there is no way to talk about defeat, he just needs to think about whether to just rob Beidi County, or rob other counties by the way, this is the problem he has to consider!

Liu Jiu looked ahead, complacent, only two days away from Beidi County, it is estimated that the two pioneers in front of him should have captured three county seats, Lian County must be in hand, Fuping is almost there, if it is good, then Huanxian should also be in hand, the property and population of the three counties are enough for his nine accounts to spend a comfortable winter, if he can sweep Beidi County, then even next spring, he will not have to raise troops to fight, he can recuperate well, and expand the tribe a little more, Suppressing Shan Yu steadily is greatly beneficial for him to grab the sweat position!

"Whether you can become a single Yu next year depends on whether you can sweep away Northland County this time!" Liu Jiu thought in his heart.

Far away, a horse rushed, the Hun soldier on the horse was an elite empty bag, the Hun soldier ran to the building car, shouted: "King, the Han soldiers found nearby, it seems that the messenger from Beidi County, there are more than a dozen people, they are going to the northeast, but it seems that they are not going to Bingzhou, they are going to the grassland!" ”

Liu Jiu sighed and said, "Didn't you go to Bingzhou?" ”

He was a little puzzled in his heart, the army went south, and the counties of Han did not know that it was impossible, and they would all prepare and ask for help, but if it was a messenger from Beidi County, he should not run into himself, it should be to Longxian in the southeast to ask for help, not to the northeast to merge the state, and it is even more impossible to bypass the merger and go to the grassland, who is on the grassland? It's yourself, could it be that the Han soldiers are asking for help from themselves? It's almost the same as summing!

The Huns below shouted: "They ran very fast, and they were far away from us, and the brothers did not catch them!" ”

Liu Jiu touched his yellow beard, thought about it, and said, "Let them go, don't pay attention to it." After a pause, he said, "Let the empty bags be scattered farther away, and explore all the places thirty miles away from the army, especially in the woods." ”

The Huns below agreed, and rode away.

Liu Jiu said that he didn't need to pay attention to it, but he thought in his heart: "The messenger of the Han soldiers, what messenger?" When you go to the grassland, who are you looking for, are you asking me for peace, but I'm here, why don't they come? ”

If there is no doubt in his heart, then he can do what he should do, but once he has a question, but he can't get an answer for a long time, Liu Jiu can't help but be a little irritable.

The army marched extremely fast, a hundred miles, and when it was dark, Liu Jiu ordered to set up camp.

The Huns lit countless bonfires, and Liu Jiu sat by a bonfire, and next to him sat Dade Wu, that is, the father of Gebo Wu.

Da Dewu's face was full of wrinkles, and like Gebu Wu, he also had a small braid with colorful feathers on the braids, and his hair was all white, and his eyebrows and beard were all white.

Da Dewu grabbed a piece of roast mutton in his hand, cut it with a knife and ate it, he glanced at Liu Jiu and said, "Wang, your appetite is not very good, why do you eat so little?" He saw that Liu Jiu hadn't even eaten half a piece of mutton.

Liu Jiu shook his head and said, "Today I heard that there was a messenger of Han soldiers nearby, who went to the grassland, but what did the Han soldiers do on the grassland?" ”

Da Dewu didn't speak immediately, he thought about it first, and then said: "It shouldn't be a messenger for peace, or it will be a direct come, maybe it's going to merge with the state?" ”

Liu Jiu shook his head again and said, "No, you should go further south to Bingzhou." This thing is very strange, you do the math, what is going on, it's good to figure it out, otherwise I'm not sure. ”

Da Dewu put down the mutton in his hand, wiped his hands on the placket, and said, "Then I'll do the math and see if there is any difference between it and what we calculated when we set off." ”

When he was about to send out the army, he had already calculated it, and in the words of the Han people, he was selected by lottery, so he sent the army.

Taking out a few pieces of animal bones from his pocket, Dade Wu wrapped the animal bones in the palm of his hand, shook them, and recited a few incantations that no one could understand, and then threw the animal bones to the ground!

Looking at the appearance of the beast bones, Dade Wu hummed and said: "It's different from when we set off, there are variables, there are demons at work, the danger comes from the north, the lord is black!" ”

Liu Jiu looked down at the beast bones, he couldn't see anything, and said, "The demon, or the demon of the Lord Black, is from the north?" We're going to attack Northland County, and it's easy for me to understand this north, but how do demons talk about it? ”

Dade Wu said: "It seems to be a black bull demon, and the magic is profound, I stayed in Han when I was young, and I have seen them people with advanced spells to calculate hexagrams, using the book "Zhou Yi" to calculate, once calculated the black bull demon, it is a very terrible demon, and now I have calculated this, can almost be called the black bull demon king!" ”

Liu Jiu sighed and said, "The witchcraft of the Han family is naturally very clever, but the bull demon ......."

Dade Wu picked up the beast bones, shook them, and threw them to the ground, this time he said: "Yes, there is a way to crack it, after we enter the northern county, we will kill the cattle when we see them, especially the black bulls, and kill all the black bulls, then our army can win a complete victory, if we kill one less, I am afraid that there will be variables!" ”

This is the usual method used by wizards, in fact, it is no different from the god stick and goddess of the Han land, first say a shocking "from the head", and then according to this reason, and then say something that is not boundary, but how to explain it can be explained, the techniques used are different, but the result is the same, can cover people!

Dade Wu is talking about black bulls, in fact, it is the same as black sheep, it doesn't matter what it is, the point is that this kind of thing must not be completely eliminated, and there will always be some "accidents" left. Since the king has doubts, it means that there must be a problem, otherwise with Liu Jiu's surname, he will not say it, so as a wizard, he has to think carefully about how to "solve the doubts" for the king.

Go to Beidi County to kill the black bull, it's a very simple thing, if the expedition wins, this may be the largest, then it means that the black bull has been killed, and it is killed under the reminder of the great dewu, the great dewu is highly respected, warning in advance, Liu Jiu will trust him more, if the battle is lost, it is very simple, just say that the black bull has not been killed, and the great dewu has also been warned, only because the black bull is too much, too hidden, not found, so it led to the defeat of the battle.

The most typical example of this kind of "prophecy" is: Taoyuan has three knots, and one branch is lonely! Anyway, it makes sense, it makes sense!

Liu Jiu listened to Da Dewu's words, and fell into deep thought, he couldn't think of the key clearly, and Da Dewu has always only spoken half of his words, and the second half can only be guessed by himself.

After thinking about it like this, I kept thinking about it for most of the night, and in the second half of the night, Liu Jiu was resting in the tent, when suddenly someone outside shouted: "King, King, there is an emergency military situation!" ”

Liu Jiu turned over and got up, he has always been cautious in doing things, and his requirements for his subordinates are that the good news is said in front of everyone at dawn, and the bad news must wake him up no matter how late it is, and tell him alone first. The military intelligence in the middle of the night is certainly not good news.

Liu Jiu called the Hun soldiers who came in to report the news and asked, "What is the urgent military situation?" ”

The Hun soldiers presented a bamboo tube and said: "When we were outside tonight, we found that more than 30 miles away, suddenly there was a team of Han soldiers walking at night, the Han soldiers did not find us, we followed from behind, but when they were half a mile away, they found out, the number of Han soldiers was more than 30, we went up, only one was beaten, but the person who was injured was saved by the Han soldiers, but his war horse was shot dead by us, in the saddle of the dead horse, found this!" ”

Liu Jiu looked at the bamboo tube and said, "Which direction are they going, but the northeast?" ”

The Huns nodded and said: "Yes, this is the direction, and they don't know that our army is camped here, otherwise they will bypass it from a distance and will not be caught up by us!" ”

Liu Jiu asked a few more details, and then let the Hun soldiers go out and call Dade Wu to come. He looked at the bamboo tube and saw that it was covered with fire paint seals, and there was a one-foot-long carved feather inserted into it!

He is familiar with the method used by the Han family to transmit emergency military information, this is a bird feather letter similar to "Yu Yu", from the Han Gao Emperor Liu Bang, to transmit emergency military information, just use this thing, it is said that there is a famous Han general Han Xin, it is bad luck on this, he does not know the specifics, he heard others say it when he was a child, I don't know whether it is true or false, but Yu Yu is the most important letter, this must be true.

Liu Jiu opened the bamboo tube, poured out a bamboo slip from it, and saw that there were six words written on it, the time and place were favorable, and on the two words, a circle was drawn in red, I don't know what it meant.

At this time, Dade Wu also came, so he told the matter and showed the bamboo slips to Da Dewu. Da Dewu didn't understand, but said: "The words on this bamboo slip are so vague, obviously because I am afraid of losing it, and we will get it, it doesn't seem to be fake." But the land is good to understand, they defend the city, naturally there is a geographical advantage, the time is not easy to say, it is beneficial to them, it is also beneficial to us, but people and people drew a red circle on it......"

Neither of them could figure out what this bamboo slip meant, and they didn't discuss it after discussing it, and they didn't understand throwing bones, but as soon as the day dawned, they didn't need to discuss it, and they didn't need to throw bones, they all understood!

It's raining!

When the Huns went out on the expedition, the weather they hated the most was the first snowy day, and the second was the rainy day. For example: it will be very cold, our division cannot use bows and arrows, and the enemy will besiege the court and let it weigh a few times. Also, the Jin people rode and shot, Xia Jiuyu, glued, and the bow was not available, so they were repeatedly defeated.

The bow of the Hun soldiers could not be as sophisticated as the Mongol soldiers a thousand years later, and the effect of rainproof was not good, and in case of rain, the power of the bow and arrow would be weakened, which would be beneficial to the Han soldiers!

Liu Jiu walked out of the tent, looked up at the sky, and thought: "There has been no rain all summer, but it is raining at this time, this is what the Han soldiers said about the time of day?" The location is advantageous, and the time is also there, so what is harmony? ”
