CHAPTER XV

That night, Long Er stood on the city wall in a Hun suit, and saw a bonfire on the grassland like a sea of stars.

Xiang Yun appeared behind him and said, "You...... What are you doing dressed like this? ”

The dragon ear said, "Do you think I'm going to kill it?" Can you get out if you don't mix it up? ”

Xiang Yun was stunned, scratched his head, stopped talking, and looked at his armor again.

Long Er saw him carrying his bags and said strangely: "Didn't you also want to find Yanhou and them outside the city, right?" ”

Xiang Yun Daxi said, "Let's go together!" ”

"Fart! You don't know half a word of Xiongnu, isn't this sending you to death? Besides, you're not leading the way? Do you want to watch the city collapse and your brothers die? Only...... Just for a woman? ”

"......" Xiang Yun was embarrassed.

"Brothers are like siblings, husband and wife are like clothes, don't you know? I had to take this risk because I knew that if I was in danger, the prince would come to my rescue...... I'm not alone...... All brothers will not give up on another brother, the prince has already taught us to do this on the battlefield, and you, just want to ignore the life and death of these brothers? After speaking, Long Er turned his back to Xiang Yun, looked out of the city, and ignored him again.

After a while, Xiang Yun came back to his senses and finally decided to stay, but when he saw that the dragon ear was still standing like a log, he couldn't help asking, "...... How are you? ”

Long Er sighed: "I was really a little scared, but you came, I was really embarrassed to go back......"

******

Seeing Long Er crawl to the ground, Xiang Yun didn't dare to shout loudly, so he could only wave his hand vigorously, wishing this new friend, this strange man, a safe journey.

However, the luck of the dragon ear was too bad, and it was soon discovered, after all, it was the first night of the siege, and the Xiongnu were in full swing, and the reconnaissance rode out, how could the dragon er escape with a pair of feet.

This was also the question that Long Er considered at the city wall, whether to wait a few more days, but then he thought that the assassins would appear at any time, so he decided to leave tonight.

******

When Sima Dan returned to the large army, he knew that the enemy had been found in all four directions except for the west.

It is very likely that the vanguard of the Xiongnu has reached the outside of the Beida camp.

Now we can only make a detour to the west, otherwise we will surely fall into siege.

Sima Dan's journey was extremely fast, and it was already dark when they ran out of more than 100 miles in a race against time, but Sima Dan did not order to set up camp, but turned north.

Cao Lie was worried that the soldiers would not be able to stand it, but Sima Dan said to him: "I can't stop now, I hope to get out of their encirclement." ”

However, the scouts soon reported that there were also Huns ahead, but the enemy was heading west.

Xiao Min has been riding his horse around Sima Dan, and then he couldn't help but say: "Their soldiers are divided into two roads, and this road is to Zhaozhou Road." ”

Cao Lie and the others had already looked at the prince's family differently, and when they listened to his analysis, they were all impressed, and they all asked her with their eyes, what should happen now? Even Wang Ji, who was under the command of the Divine Armor Soldiers, felt the same way.

When Sima Dan saw everyone like this, he asked Xiao Min, "Then what should we do?" ”

Xiao Min said confidently: "After a few days of hurrying, we will retreat ten miles back and station, wait for them to leave, and then go around to the back of the Southern Route Army, but we must be vigilant to be discovered by the Huns." ”

Wang Ji asked, "Yes! Won't they find out about us? ”

"There is a hill ten miles back, we hide in the mountain, the sentinel looks out from the hill, if there are Huns, we can also retreat."

So everyone obeyed.

******

After several turns and painstaking efforts, the dragon ear was not immediately cut down by the Huns, but was sent to the big tent of Dadan Yu Schmidt.

Long Ear smelled the stench of the dried corpse of the vegetable man coming from the wind, and only felt a wave of nausea.

Sure enough, it was the people from the ghost side who were killed and hung here, and Long Er felt a little more sure in his heart.

For the Huns, they never recognized that the ghost side was also one of the tribes of the Huns, they thought that the ghost side was a barbarian from the north, but the dry corpse also showed that the other tribes of the Rouran Alliance were afraid of the ghost side, otherwise why should they be shocked?

Success or failure is here.

There is no other tribe Xiaoxian King who usually shouts noisily in the tent, only the big single Yu above the high case.

The argument that should have been supported by the dragon ear is gone, and those who are afraid of the ghost side are gone.

The sharp-faced Da Shan Yu Schmidt stared at the dragon ear who was kneeling under the hall with five flowers, and the dragon ear was also looking at him from a distance.

Long Er: "Knock on the big order!" Anyway, he had been kicked to the ground, and Long Er could only say this.

Da Shan Yu: "Everyone said that you are convincing us to go west and not attack the Jin Kingdom!" ”

"Back to the big order, that's exactly what the villain said."

"Have you seen any corpses outside?"

"I see, and I smell it, Da Shan Yu, if this enemy is not terrible, why did you hang their corpses there?"

Da Dan Yu was embarrassed and angry, and slapped the table: "I hang it, it means that we will go back to clean them up next summer!" ”

"Of course, but since ancient times, there have been many enemies who are about to go to war, and I have never seen anyone endure the stench like this, the enemy has not yet hit, and the smell has invaded the big tent!"

Da Shan Yu was furious: "Drag this person out and cut it down!" ”

Several Huns pushed Long Er out of the tent like a wolf, and Long Er screamed in his heart, and screamed loudly in fright: "You kill me, the tribe is not convinced, it is equivalent to killing yourself!" ”

Long Er fell to the ground hard, and lifted it again, a knife and axe hand has shown a big knife, Long Er was desperate in his heart, when he was dying, he couldn't help crying, and his heart flashed with Sima Dan and the army, galloping on the grassland: "Prince! See you in the next life! ”

"Stop!" A loud cry came from the tent, and Schmidt pulled him back again, and the dragon ear only felt that cold sweat had flowed from his forehead into his eyes, and the stinging pain was abnormal, but the blood and qi all over his body were churning, and he was extremely excited, and his ears were booming.

Long Er shouted: "Isn't the king going to kill me and kill himself? ”

"Who the hell is not convinced, if you don't say it, I will make you tortured, and I would rather be cut and happy!"

"Haha, let me ask the king first, the king is well-informed, have you ever seen tigers and wolves attack?"

"What do you want to say?"

"Great King, if anyone in the tribe is not convinced, just think about who has seen tigers and wolves attack each other, you will know."

"What does that mean, boy?" Schmidt seemed to understand something.

"The wolf is the tyrant of the grassland, the tiger, the king of all beasts, everyone is afraid of it, on the grassland, if you really can't find food, the wolf and tiger will occasionally fight, but they are all slightly bitten, and they will never fight to the death, do you know why?"

"Humph! Who doesn't know that if you really fight, even if you win, you will definitely be injured, then you will not be able to hit the prey, so you will starve to death, and all the animals on the grassland, as long as you are slightly injured, you will not be able to survive. ”

"The king is wise! No matter how good the ghost side is, why don't you dare to enter the grassland? Because even if they drove away Rouran, they would have suffered a lot of casualties, but as soon as the snow disaster came, they had to go south. The king and the ghost party, like the tiger and the wolf, even if there is a victory or defeat for a while, they are also the tiger wolf, and the nemesis of other **! ”

Da Shan Yu listened comfortably and sat back: "What do you want to say?" ”

"The king, the people of the tribe, also know this truth, but they follow the king, and they also hope to have a better life, and the current Dajin is like another wolf pack, even if the king wins, there will be no great casualties? The countries of the Western Regions are only small countries, and a little further west, there is a country called Persia, which is so rich that it can be used by the king to drink horses! ”

Da Shan Yu sneered: "You said it, you think Jin is unattackable?" Are you a spy sent by the Jin Kingdom? ”

"Haha! The Jin Kingdom is like I grew up in the land of the Xiongnu? The ancestors had made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, but they were poked by it, and later for the use of Shanyu, a khanate was built in the Western Regions, but unfortunately it was later shattered, and I was exiled to the people. ”

Da Shan Yu Daxi: "Are you really the queen of Li Ling?" Busy drinking ordered people to loosen the dragon ears: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" Sit and sit, drink a glass, and the wine suppresses the shock, hehe! ”

Long Er sat down generally, and the etiquette he performed was all the gestures of the Huns.

Da Shan Yu: "In that case, I haven't asked your name yet!" ”

"The ancestors have decided not to use the surname Li, so they changed their surname to Long, because we don't believe in the nonsense of those Han emperors who call themselves dragons, so I call them Long Er."

"Haha, interesting, Long'er, you told me to wave to the west, there are mountains and deserts, the small countries there were built by the ancestors of the Xiongnu, the people are strong, and the most important thing is that they can't afford to support so many of us."

"Wrong, wrong! Hasn't the king heard of the Silk Road? The countries on this road are full of gold and silver, and the people of these countries have become peasants, some of them are eating, if the king does not believe it, you can find a few more guides to ask, and if the king really goes south, meet the strong soldiers of the Great Jin, this is equivalent to a rabbit does not go to pounce and choose the tiger, the Jin soldiers now have hundreds of thousands of troops on the northern front, although their king is old, but extremely wise, when he was young, he also used troops in the Western Regions, and the countries of the Western Regions became vassals, and directly attacked the Jin Kingdom, the wise man did not take it, it is better to go to its wings first, At that time, the kings of the two great powers in the east and west can attack and defend, this is the strategy that the king should have! ”

Da Shan Yu's face suddenly turned cold: "Since Long Er is the Ancestor King, I will treat you as a guest, but how can I gently change the whereabouts of the army for you in a few words?" Take a break! ”

******

In the past few days, Sima Dan's team has gradually become accustomed to the method of moving at night, and he has decided to take advantage of the weakness of the steppe people's natural fear of the dark.

In addition, it is safer to move at night than to sleep without a fire, and when people and horses are active, they will not freeze to death, and in the daytime, you can find a place to back the mountain, and build a windbreak wall with snow, and at the same time make a fire that is not as dazzling as at night, so that you can sleep well for a few hours.

Unless there was a scout to report that the enemy was coming, Sima Dan kept his soldiers recharged during the day, and at night, it was easier to capture the camps full of campfires.

However, the extremely cold temperatures at night can also make even the best plans face death threats, so when there is no battle, this cavalry team is a two-person horse to keep each other warm.

The snowstorm finally came this night, and the activities of people and horses were more difficult, Sima Dan and Xiao Min took a ride, and they were walking slowly, and before long, the sky and the earth were all covered by flying snow, and Xiao Min was so cold that he shivered: "I... What we are waiting for is this kind of weather, the Huns can no longer imagine that we will attack in this weather, remember to help me find a puppy, I also want to hold... Heating. ”

While talking, the two climbed up a hillside and saw a sea of fire formed by a bonfire in front of them, this was a group of Xiongnu they had been staring at for two days, and it was the flank of the opponent's Southern Route Army, if it was broken, the wealth of the Xiongnu would be behind them.

In this kind of weather, if you can burn their grain and grass, it can really break their morale.
