The law deduction used all his strength to roar, the horn of the battle sounded again and again, but the team was even more scattered, in the face of the Han army that was killed with a thunderous momentum, many people were still in a kind of dazed, they controlled the war horses that were turning, and looked at the Han army in amazement, until this moment, they still couldn't believe what they saw.

These soldiers can't be blamed, even when Yue Lu Deduction received a report from the scout, saying that he found the traces of the Han army thirty miles away, he didn't believe it, and even whipped the scout, scolding him for being dizzy from sleep and talking nonsense. When the news came from the scouts one after another, the Han army had already reached ten miles away and began to trot, and he believed it, but in such a short time, he had no way to form a formation of demoralized soldiers to meet him.

Everything seems to be providential.

The law deduction was very vigilant at the beginning, after arriving at Baisha Lake, he felt that this was still too unsafe, the last time the Han army went out to rob, the farthest point of the army was the south bank of Anhou Shui, and Baisha Lake was in this position. Although it is spring and the horsepower is insufficient, the Han people may not dare to go deep into the grassland, but what if they really come?

It was decided to cross the Anhou River and advance towards Benniu Plain. It took him a few days to send most of his troops to Benniu Plain. After arriving at Benniu Plain, he sent scouts to the north to reconnoiter the situation of the Niutou tribe and test the bottom line of the Wind Crack, but within half a month, after the Wind Crack received the news, he sent the Wind Crack to rush over with three thousand cavalry, and ordered the law deduction to withdraw from the Bull Plain immediately, otherwise it would be unkind to him.

He was sure to eat him in one bite, but he didn't dare. One is last year's northern expedition to the Niutou tribe, the result was Lu Bu copied the old nest, the wild sand tribe suffered heavy losses, a large number of troops and livestock were robbed and killed, a year has not eased the vitality, last winter food was seriously insufficient, they froze to death many people, because of the lack of manpower, failed to prepare enough forage for the winter, the war horse fell seriously in winter, the combat power was greatly damaged, if and the Niutou tribe went to war, he was very difficult. The second is that he himself is very jealous of the prestige of the Wind Crack, and the Wind Crack is just a general, but his father is the Wind Crack, which is a rare famous general on the grassland.

He talked good things to Split Wind for a long time, and finally agreed to withdraw the army to Baisha Lake, and the troops who were not threatened stayed in Benniuyuan, and then withdrew after the threat of the Han army was lifted. Considering that everyone is Xianbei after all, and there is actually no pasture in Benniuyuan at this time, and there is no loss of shelter, the cracking wind agreed.

However, none of them thought that Liu Xiuhui would really come from thousands of miles away, and the news they got a few days ago was that there was no sign of sending troops to Yangshuhu. They didn't even know about Liu Xiu's return to Bingzhou, when Split Storm came back from Luoyang last year, he passed through the Hongyue tribe, and once said to the settlement of Qianluoluo that Liu Xiu's Beizhong Lang General had been withdrawn, so the settlement of Qianluoluo was very worried, and specially asked people to give gifts to the Yue Lu deduction and the banquet Liyou, in order to improve the relationship.

The reason why he was willing to retreat to Baisha Lake this time was also because the Split Wind confirmed the news to him, saying that the possibility of the Han army in Bingzhou going out to fight was very small, because Liu Xiu was not there, and no one should be able to control those arrogant generals.

Under the misguidance of several aspects of intelligence, the original vigilance of Yue Lu's deduction came to naught, and the demoralization and distraction caused by the frustration of being forced to withdraw from Benniuyuan permeated the army, and they all thought that after a few days of peace and stability at Baisha Lake, they would receive the news that the Han army had retreated on all fronts.

Unexpectedly, I thought it wouldn't come really here, and it was murderous, with all my might.

It is said that the law deduces that he scolded the cracking wind, that is, the cracking wind said that Liu Xiu's Beizhonglang would be deposed, so he was so careless, because there are too few Han people like Liu Xiu who dare to go deep into the grassland, and if he changes a Han general, his actions will not be so weird, so fast, and even more erratic than the Xianbei people.

Feng Crack was a traitor, he betrayed the Xianbei people and became a dog of the Han people. Luo Luo Luo is also a traitor, he cooperated with the Han people to play for the benefit of the Han people to open Hu City, and deceived him and Yan Liyou.

He could only watch Lu Bu and Zhao Yun kill them like bamboos, just like two sharp straw knives, they cut his long line into three sections at once.

He is now facing Liu Xiu's Chinese army, he has no way to escape, he just wants to turn around and escape, and he can't outrun the Han army that is already running at full speed. What frightened him was that the Han horses, which were stronger than theirs, did not seem to have had any effect on them this winter, and in contrast, the horses of the Xianbei people were not only thin, but also shabby.

"Battle—" Commander roared in despair, raised his sword, and began to gallop with the hastily lined guards.

These 3,000 guards are the most elite warriors of the Wild Sand Tribe, and they are also the men and horses who can barely maintain the formation among the more than 20,000 warriors at present.

Everything is out of control, and it is only a meal.

Lu Bu and Zhao Yun easily killed the formation of the Wild Sand Tribe, and split into two in the distance, Cheng Lian spread to the left, Zhang Ji spread to the right, chasing the rout on both sides, Zhao Yun and Lu Bu merged into one, turned back and killed behind the Chinese army of the Wild Sand Tribe.

"Zilong, let's compare." Lu Bu rode his horse wildly, and the big red horse raised his hooves, exerting his speed to the extreme, like a flame rushing to the front. The red tassel on the halberd was like a smaller, more violent flame, and every time it trembled, a blood flower bloomed, and all the Xianbei people who appeared within Lu Bu's attack range became a mark in Lu Bu's merit book.

Zhao Yun, who was twenty steps away, smiled slightly, did not shout like Lu Bu, but just erected the iron halberd in his hand, and pointed forward slightly, the white horse under his crotch suddenly accelerated again, his four hooves soared into the air, and the snow-white horsetail flew in the air, extremely elegant.

The two Xianbei people fell off their horses screaming, their open hands and round eyes, as if they were cheering for Zhao Yun.

Lu Bu smiled, slammed the horse's belly hard, and the man and horse were one, invincible.

Seeing that the law was deducing desperately, Liu Xiu didn't even have the interest to take a look, the iron halberd in his hand pointed obliquely ahead, Yu Fuluo was on the left, Zhang Fei was on the right, and he accelerated out of the queue. Zhang Fei was half-lying on the back of the black horse, holding a spear, and his two big eyes stared at the law deduction, and he shouted violently, like a wild rush. The spear trembled like a spiritual snake, knocked open two war knives, and accurately pierced the throat of the third knight, the blood had just burst out, Zhang Fei had already swept past him, and Xianbei flew onto Zhang Fei's face, dyeing his little white face red.

The hot blood made Zhang Fei's murderous aura even worse, and the spears flashed, picking up the Xianbei knights under their horses, and quickly approached the battle flag deduced by the law. He was shocked and angry, and ordered his guards to step forward to intercept Zhang Fei.

One after another, the Xianbei knights rushed towards Zhang Fei, they slashed desperately, and even directly collided with their war horses, even if they were pierced by Zhang Fei's spear, they still waved the war knife in their hands, trying to cut Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei was so powerful that he killed five people in a row in a blink of an eye, and he was also stabbed twice.

"Be careful." The little Taoist priest Zhang Xiu didn't dare to slack off, and led the believer knights to hug him, protect Zhang Fei's wings, and continue to approach the battle flag deduced by the law.

On the other side, Yu Fuluo led a thousand Hun knights to slash and kill, and marched hand in hand with Zhang Fei. Under their attack, the Xianbei people's formation became thinner and thinner, and the two thousand people rode like two wedges, cutting off the Xianbei people's formation.

This is the first time he has engaged the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry head-on, only to find that the power of the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry far exceeds that of the Han Army he knows, no wonder Liu Xiu dared to kill 10,000 people into the depths of the grassland. In an instant, he was disheartened and ashamed of his previous contempt for the fighting power of the Han army.

Listening to the shouting and killing sound that was getting closer and closer behind him, and looking at the blood-red face of the young general of the Han army who was getting clearer and clearer, he turned all his strength into a roar, he waved his war knife and slashed at the horse's buttocks, the war horse neighed in pain, and rushed towards the young general with all his strength.

Zhang Fei shouted, "It's a good time!" Shaking the spear with both hands, the spearhead was like a divine help, knocking open the war knife in the hand of the law deduction, rebounding back, and stabbing it fiercely in the chest of the law deduction. Although this spear pierced a hole in the iron armor, it did not go deeper, but it only picked up the law deduction and let out a terrible roar.

"Slash!" The little Taoist priest Zhang Xiu roared excitedly, and killed the flag bearer with a halberd: "Capture the flag!"

"Slash! Capture the Flag! The guards composed of Heavenly Master Dao believers roared in unison, and rushed over one after another, the war swords in their hands flying, slashing at the flagpole one after another.

A knife, a knife, another knife.

The flagpole of the battle flag deduced by the law "clicked" and broke off from the middle, and the battle flag fell down with a bang.

A knight flew past and tore down the battle flag of the Rhythm deduction.

The morale of the pro-guard battalion, which was easily summoned, plummeted, and the fighting spirit dissipated like spring ice.

…… The battle ended quickly, Liu Xiu ordered to clean up the battlefield, and learned from the captives that the Cracking Wind of the Niutou Tribe was not far north of the Benniu Plain, and he immediately sent a messenger to ask the Cracking Wind to receive the people of the Wild Sand Tribe, and he was about to continue the attack, it was impossible to take away all these people and livestock, and it would be a pity to kill them, so it was better to hand them over to the Cracking Tempest.

Hearing this, Split Wind was overjoyed and immediately rushed over with his men and horses. As soon as he saw the abundant booty, Split Wind rubbed his hands happily, "Brother-in-law...... This one...... Your Excellency, you've really made a fortune this time. ”

Liu Xiu smiled, waved his hand lightly, and pointed to the loot everywhere: "I will take some of the war horses and baggage away, and the rest will be handed over to you, one-third is my dowry for Fengxue, and one-third is for you to manage, and you will have to return it to me when the time comes." Liu Xiu pointed to the soldiers, "I will give them as a reward, and the remaining one-third is your labor fee." ”

Cracking Storm nodded again and again, he understood this truth, Liu Xiu had given him enough, and from this point alone, it could be seen that his sister was really favored, better than being a princess.

Splitting Wind squirmed and asked, "My lord, do you still want to continue attacking?" ”

"Are you interested?" Liu Xiu smiled faintly, "If you are willing to go with me, I will not treat you badly." ”

"This ...... No, Abba said, we can't let people into our territory, and we can't ...... Join forces with you. The cracking wind smacked his lips again and again, and his regret was overflowing.

"Oh, that's right." Liu Xiu was also a little regretful, he thought about it, and suddenly said: "The wind and snow are in Poplar Lake, do you want to go and see her?" ”

"To see her?" Cracking Storm was a little puzzled, he had just come back from Luoyang a few months ago, why did he leave his people behind now and rush all the way to Yangshu Lake, just to see the wind and snow.

"Hu City is about to reopen, and I think you may have goods to send to Poplar Lake. If you go, by the way, help me transport some loot back, which is also a matter of killing two birds with one stone, public and private. ”

Cracking Wind was moved, but he didn't dare to agree easily. Wind Crack told him countless times, let him not trust Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu has too many thoughts, and a roll of his eyes is an idea, Crack Wind is not his opponent. But now what Liu Xiu said is very reasonable, and he can't help but be unmoved.

"I ...... Think again? ”

"It's up to you." Liu Xiu looked around and smiled again: "Actually, it's okay not to go, when this battle is over, I will build a separate courtyard here, let Fengxue live here, and it will be very convenient to go home and see it in the future, lest she always feel homesick and shed tears when she thinks of you and your father." ”

Splitting Tempest's nose was sore, and he didn't say anything more, turning to arrange for the captives to prepare a hot meal. The tattered tents were used as firewood, water was boiled, wounded horses, cattle and sheep were slaughtered, large pieces of meat were thrown into the pot, and soon the smell of meat overflowed. The soldiers of the Han army took out the fine wine they carried with them, took a sip of wine, ate a piece of meat, and enjoyed the joy of victory. After Splitting Storm was busy, he settled everything and then came back to eat with Liu Xiu.

"Here, take a sip." Liu Xiu felt the scorching gaze of the cracking wind, smiled, threw the wine jug in his hand, cut off a piece of meat with a short knife, dipped it in some salt and threw it into his mouth, chewing it with taste. Tempest took a long sip of wine, reluctantly returned the flask, and stuck out his tongue to lick the wine off his lips. "My lord, my father likes your kind of wine the most, and said that after drinking this wine, you can swim in the North Sea in winter."

"Your Abba is in good health." Liu Xiu shook the wine jug, and said in his heart, why is this guy so greedy, he drank most of the pot in one gulp, and he was not afraid of getting drunk. "When the war is over, when I give you a gift next year, I will add more wine."

"That's great." Crack Wind smiled, "However, the wine sent by Fengxue is for Abba, can you give us some more quotas and let us buy them ourselves?" ”

Liu Xiu blinked and was silent for a moment. Wine is not a strategic material, but there is little grain in the state, the output of wine is not high, and more than half of it has to be sold to the interior, and the quota for the grassland has been relatively strictly controlled. It doesn't matter if he sends a few more urns to Feng Crack, but it is not a matter of a few urns to give a quota, not to mention that the economic strength of the Niutou tribe is very poor, they don't have the spare money to buy so much wine, in the end, they still want to take it for nothing.

"I'll go back and discuss with Master Cao to see how many quotas there are still to be allocated." Liu Xiu said lightly: "You also know that the number I have mastered is limited. ”

Cracking the wind didn't say anything, he didn't know if Liu Xiu was shirking, he was the biggest official in the state, and he was not alone in the affairs of the state, so he wanted to discuss what to do with Lord Cao. It seems that it's almost not good to set him, and I have to go to my sister to plead. The goods of the Han people are indeed exquisite, but the most popular is this wine, especially in winter, and the feeling of feeling hot from throat to stomach after taking a sip of wine is so wonderful that it is simply addictive.

Liu Xiu rested for a day at Baisha Lake and began to discuss the next battle plan.

"The Wild Sand Tribe didn't think that we would attack at all, so this attack was very sudden, and there was Huluo Water in the east to block it, and almost no one missed the net, which is very important for our next move to keep it secret." Liu Xiu said first, he glanced at Xun You and Jia Xu to show his reward for their strong suggestion, it was precisely because of their unexpected suggestion that the current brilliant results were caused. It's just that neither of them likes to show off in front of everyone, so he has to take the credit on himself. "The scout camp has been dispatched, but the messenger I sent to the Red Said Tribe has not returned yet, so I don't know what kind of attitude the Red Said Tribe will have now."

"Before the Red Yue tribe has a clear attitude, we should not take the initiative to attack them." Jia Xu said lightly: "Since the opening of Hu City, they paid tribute to Your Majesty last year, and the disagreement between the Hongyue tribe and other tribes has been obvious, even if he declares to Tanshi Huai that he has no intention of rebellion, who will believe it." ”

"Xianbei people know everything?" Liu Xiu was very surprised, the matter of the Red tribe offering beauties to the Son of Heaven has always been very secretive.

"Yes." Jia Xu owed, and said slowly: "The merchants of the Hongyue tribe in Hu City have received some preferential treatment because of this, but who can guarantee that those who hold the waist card of the merchants of the Hongyue tribe are from the Hongyue tribe." ”

Depend on! Liu Xiu understood it all at once, he was now convinced, Jia Xu's level of trickery was definitely above him, you see how natural people do this hand and foot, they have achieved their goal without knowing it. Although these messages are unilaterally said by the Han Chinese, and they are not explicitly stated, it is often such gossip that is more effective.

"Therefore, we should now pass through the pastoral area of the Red Said Tribe and directly attack the Wild Wolf Tribe, as long as the Red Said Tribe does not attack us, we can pretend not to see them." Xun You also smiled softly, "According to the terrain we have mastered, the places where the wild wolf tribe may be hiding are nothing more than these, and we have walked all the way over, and the possibility of catching them is as high as seventy percent." ”

Hao Zhao followed Xun You's instructions and marked the possible hiding places of the wolf tribe on the map one by one. According to the principle that only when there is water can you hide, the wild wolf tribe should be near a few large rivers, and rivers are by no means a ubiquitous thing in the grassland, as long as you follow the river, you will meet them sooner or later.

This is called the outline of the leader, don't look at the mess of the fishing nets seem to have no clue at all, but as long as you grasp the main line, you can outline the outline, at a glance. How to grasp these main lines is the standard line that distinguishes the wise from the mediocre.

Liu Xiu himself is not stupid, and after Duan Cheng's careful selection, Jia Xu and Xun You are human spirits, and the originally complicated things are naturally not so complicated in the eyes of the three of them.

Of course, there is a special reason for this: the largest source of water is Beihai, but there is a Niutou tribe in Beihai, and the handsome daughter of the Niutou tribe has become Liu Xiu's favorite concubine. At this time, few people would believe that Wind Crack would stand by and even tolerate them entering their pastoral land without any reaction.

After determining the approximate range, Liu Xiu led the army along the Huluo River to the east of the Wolf Juxu Mountain.

Wolf Juxu Mountain is a big mountain in the middle of the Mongolian Plateau, the Huns once regarded this place as a holy mountain, worship the sky here, Huo Qu hit the Xiongnu sickly, once sacrificed to the sky here, that is, it is sealed, and in the Guyan Mountain sacrifice land a little west, that is, Zen. There are two kinds of water that originate from here, one is the Huluo water, also known as the Yuwu water, which flows into the Anhou water to the west and north, and finally into the North Sea, and the other is the Gonglu water, which stretches for thousands of miles to the east, and the downstream is the Heilongjiang River, and finally into the Sea of Okhotsk.

According to Liu Xiu's estimate, the possible scope of the wild wolf tribe is the upper reaches of the Gonglu River for three or four hundred miles starting from the Wolf Juxu Mountain, because further east is the territory of Xianbei in the central part of the country. Unless they got the order of Tanshi Huai and the permission of other tribes, they would not enter casually, and if they really hid there, Liu Xiu could only sigh.

They didn't walk fast, they kept about a hundred miles every day, and deliberately swaggered through the grazing land of the Hongyue tribe. Two days later, Luo Zhi Qiandi Ao rushed over with a hundred and ten personal guards, and as soon as he saw Liu Xiu, he cried and begged with a sad face: "My lord, you can't do this, if this reaches the ears of the king, will the Hongyue tribe still live?" ”

"Then you're going to fight me." Liu Xiu said unhurriedly: "I know, you have recovered well in the past two years, and you have strength again." ”

"Who said that?" He slapped his thigh, "My lord, don't you know, we're having a hard time now." Yes, doing business with you is to make some money, more comfortable than other tribes in the west, but I don't know which bastard did a good thing, we paid tribute to your emperor last year The matter of the beautiful woman was known by the king, the king was very unhappy, we sent a lot of money to go, and finally appeased, and the bastard of Yan Liyou also added fuel to the fire and blackmailed us. ”

"Really? Where is Yan Liyou, I will avenge you? ”

"I advise you not to go." Luo Zhi Qiandi Ao shook his head, "He is with Murong Feng, and the total number of troops is 30,000, even if you win, he will be crippled, and it is a question whether he can go back alive." ”

"He's with Murong Feng?" Liu Xiu was stunned, no wonder he didn't find any trace of the wild wolf tribe after looking for three days, it turned out that they really went to the territory of Xianbei in the central part of the country.

(To be continued)
