Chapter 59

Long Er said in a deep voice: "The prince is gone, can he really come back?" ”

At this time, he and Xiao Min rode both horses, and they had been sent out for more than 20 miles, watching from a distance a team of cavalry led by Sima Dan, galloping north in the middle of ten thousand mountains.

Xiao Min nodded, "Since you are a saint, you will turn evil into good fortune!" ”

Long Er was furious, "Strategist, the "Sage" is just one of our schemes, and it's not invulnerable, you! ”

"It's not just one of the stratagems, it's also a necessary link!" Min chuckled.

Long Er said in a loud voice: "You, are you trying to figure out the experience of nine deaths like Guò again, and then push the prince to the altar of the "saint", right?" You're ...... What if the prince can't pass this hurdle? ”

Xiao Min suddenly retracted his gaze at Sima Dan and turned his horse's head: "There is no absolutely safe thing, especially on the road to becoming an emperor, only one plan can keep him safe, of course, the calculation of life and death is only a calculation, if the destiny is, there is no fear...... Drive! Walk! Then he whipped the horse and went away.

Looking at Xiao Min, who had gone away, Long Er muttered to himself: "So mysterious, can you guarantee it!" …… Xiao Min...... If you're really gambling with his life...... I won't let you go. Certain! ”

******

Although he knew that he would definitely arrive at Rouran Keting before Cao Lie and the others arrived, Sima Dan was still anxious, and despite the fact that the grassland had entered winter, he stepped through the territory of the Gaoche clan north of Qiuzi.

In the north of the grassland desert, there is a big lake, and the Xiongnu were driven here by other tribes and became the Gaoche tribe.

The Gaoche tribe had surrendered to Xianbei, and after the Rouran dug up, one of them migrated westward and became the Yueban tribe, and is now fighting with the westward invasion of the Rouran Shelun tribe for the passage to Persia.

The Rouran royal court is located in the northeast of Yueban, controlled by the murder of his father.

Sima Dan left Yuli and the other four to protect Xiao Min, and Zu Chong led two hundred divine armor soldiers to defend it, and Gao Chun Niu Tian and the two of them did not leave the left and right, choosing a hidden road and rushing to support Princess Sanssoucian.

Unexpectedly, on this day, in a valley, I met Chen Yun who was waiting.

Chen Yun was also protected by two hundred divine armor soldiers, she was dressed in armor, and the armor was stained with mud and sand, obviously rushing one after another, and finally, intercepted Sima Dan here.

Yanhou whipped his horse, "The prince is going to die?" ”

Sima Dan was surprised, "How did you know that I would pass through here?" ”

"We also intercepted a messenger, and I didn't have time to verify it, so I knew that you would definitely go and save that little slut."

Sima Dan was a little speechless, "As the prince of the Great Jin Dynasty, only me and the princess can take care of each other, for the public and private, how can I stand idly by?" ”

"Humph! Is it because she, like me, threatens the hussar battalion? With these 200 people, you dare to go to the Rouran Khan Court, does Zhuge Xiaomin want to put you to death? ”

Before Sima Dan could react, there was already a loud shout behind him: "Fart!" If you dare to frame the military advisor, I swear to ...... you Kill you from your horse! Sima Dan turned around, but he didn't expect that it was Zu Chong's halberd pointing at Yan Hou and shouting angrily.

Zu Chong is taciturn, he usually only knows how to practice martial arts and soldiers, sometimes Sima Dan deliberately closes, he is just neither humble nor arrogant, Sima Dan obviously feels that Zu Chong is facing him, and he no longer has the enthusiasm he had when he first arrived, and he didn't expect it to be transferred to Xiao Min, Sima Dan suddenly seemed to understand something.

Yan Hou didn't expect that someone under Sima Dan would dare to contradict him, so he couldn't help but be stunned, and Xiang Yun behind him was furious, and rode out, "Bold!" He is a young general, report your name and see how I kill you! ”

Where is Zu Chong willing to let go, he also rode out, the two horses confronted each other from afar, the eight snake spears were already in their hands, and the two stared at each other like bull's eyes, as if they wanted to breathe fire.

Sima Dan hurriedly shouted: "Wait! Are you nervous? I'm talking to Yanhou, what are you anxious about? Get the hell out of here! ”

Yan Hou also scolded Xiang Yun, and the two of them returned to the battle in a huff.

Sima Dan looked up to the sky and snorted, "The military advisor is deeply loved by the whole army, and Yanhou is also supported by his subordinates, this is the blessing of the Great Jin, the blessing of the Great Jin." ”

Yan Hou secretly scolded in his heart: "You are only supported by the whole army, is Xiao Min like this?" Glancing at Xiang Yun, I felt embarrassed and happy.

Sima Dan said loudly: "The military advisor said to me, Zu Chong, these two hundred divine armor soldiers, although they are all the sons of Chang'an's high-ranking families, but everyone is brave and good at fighting, and they have their own long lances in their hands, and they are all young guns, these people are put in other armies, they are not inferior to generals, and there are divine armor iron crossbows, and there are invincible generals like General Zu, so this prince can sit back and relax, what is the danger?" Although his words are inspiring the divine armor soldiers, they also have a factual basis, especially the long lance, ordinary civilians, who have no long lance, how can they learn to shoot? The power of the long lance is far better than other weapons, but these gentlemen from Chang'an can be blessed, since they were young, they have hired a teacher to teach, in terms of basic martial arts, they are quite better than the civilian armor soldiers behind Yan Hou, ordinary warriors, and they can't be compared.

Yan Hou sneered, "Really? Yes, sit back and relax! Did she tell you to go and sleep with Princess Sanssouci? ”

Sima Dan choked and was speechless for a while.

"Prince, it's too late to go back now! I, Chen Yun, have never been on the road for three days and three nights for anyone in my life, you owe me my life! Yan Hou heard a heavy deep breath from behind him.

Sima Dan shook his head, "There is no turning back arrow from the bow that was opened, since you know that Cao Lie and their net worth and life are in my hands, you don't need to persuade them!" ”

"What did you go for? In addition to sending him to death, Cao Lie and the others came to give you a funeral. ”

"That's why I'm in such a hurry that I asked the princess to send a messenger to intercept them."

"What about these two hundred? They can't go either! Die with you? ”

Zu Chong sneered, "We don't have to worry about you, it's our duty to defend the crown prince." ”

"Humph! Do you think the armor soldiers can break through any encirclement? That's Rouran, not an ordinary Hun! Tie Fu, Xianbei is just a defeated soldier under them, no one can be completely sure! Sima Dan! Do you listen to me or not? ”

"Yan Hou! Sorry, I have to go! Sima Dan still shook his head.

"You...... In vain I have been on the road for the past few days...... Bastard! You're going to go, get past us first, set up the formation! ”

"No!" The divine armor soldiers behind Yan Hou shouted violently and set up a position.

Zu Chong also ordered his subordinates to expel a cone-shaped formation.

"Sima Dan! Do you really want to break into battle? Yan Hou asked in a deep voice.

"Yan Hou! You're ...... It doesn't have to be this way! Didn't you have something else to do this time? ”

"Sima Dan! I'll say it again, are you going back? ”

"Alas! Wait a minute! Everyone, put down your weapons! Sima Dan persuaded.

"Humph! I'm crazy! Lard blinds your heart, whether you listen or not, life and death are up to you! To the clouds! Let's go! Yan Hou suddenly gave up and left with his subordinates.

Sima Dan sighed and smiled at Zu Chong, but Zu Chong snorted coldly: "Prince! I hope you can stay away from these indiscriminate people, if...... I hope you can live up to the military advisor! ”

When Sima Dan was stunned, Zu Chong had already returned to the army formation and walked forward with the army formation.

Gao Chun saw that Sima Dan was out of his mind, and stepped forward, "Prince, not only General Zu, the military advisor has definitely more than just loyalty in the army, in the past two years, she has been like a fairy, and considerate of the soldiers, plus with us invincible, in the hearts of the soldiers, she has been like a fairy, some soldiers are crazy about her, far more than the average general, prince, not alarmist, if you break her heart, the military heart may collapse overnight!" ”

Sima Dan was taken aback, "Gao Chun, what about you?" ”

"The military advisor is a celestial being, how dare we move this heart? But I also hope that the prince can be more considerate of the military advisor, as long as she smiles in the morning, all the officers and soldiers will be in good spirits that day! ”

Sima Dan slapped his forehead, "I know, I know!" How dare I have a heart of "disobedience" to her? Hehe! ”

Gao Chun and Niu Tian also laughed.

******

The snow was falling, and Sima Dan and his entourage entered the grassland, not far from the royal court.

One of the armor soldiers rode in pairs, and another hundred auxiliary soldiers, driving the carriage to carry the baggage, into the vast snowfield, each of them put on a fur coat on the armor, the whole body was tightly wrapped, but it was also warm, but in a hurry, I had to slow down the pace.

A pair of scouts galloped back to surround the overly urgent report: "The cavalry of the Hun brigade is coming about ten miles ahead."

Sima Dan ordered the messenger of Princess Sanssouci to take out the token, and ordered Zu Chong to wait for the formation and slowly move forward.

Before long, the Huns' horses had arrived.

The carefree messenger recognized it as a warrior of the Xianbei tribe.

Xianbei's horse only drilled out in the distance for a while, and then slapped the horse back, and sure enough, it was Xianbei's cavalry that rolled in soon after.

"About a thousand horsemen, although we are wearing armor, it is not difficult for our iron crossbow to break!" Gao Chun reported.

Zu Chong also came to Sima Dan's side: "Prince, if you want to break through, please give an order." ”

"No, let's see what they say first, prepare the crossbow, I'll lead them closer."

Although the iron crossbow is powerful, the range is less than half of the longbow, so the armor soldiers must rush into the shooting range of the opponent's longbow to attack.

Xianbei rode first, and when he reached fifty paces, he shouted loudly: "Is it the Great Jin cavalry?" Why do you violate my borders? ”

The Xianbei people saw that there were not many divine armor soldiers, and they did not rush to attack on their own side, so they were not in a hurry to attack.

Sima Dan shouted: "Who is coming?" ”

"Yuwenbi!"

"It turned out that the ancestors had returned to the Yuwen clan of the Han Court, then this place should be very close to the Khan Court, I heard that Rouran Da Dan Yu values you very much, especially in teaching them Han customs, but looking at your current armor, it is not as good as your ancestors."

Yuwen was furious, "Bold! How dare you insult my ancestors? How can the wolves of the steppe submit to the sheep? Hum! Wait until I cut off your head, and see what you say! ”

"Wait! We hold the token of worry-free Kedun, go to visit Kedun, I'm embarrassed to kill your people, if you dare to mess around, I am afraid that you will not be able to confess in the future! ”

Zu Chong and the others have already received Sima Dan's order: "We have few people, so we must not show weakness, take advantage of the other party's unpreparedness, leave a strong impression in their hearts, the Huns eat hard and not soft, and must not let them despise, otherwise they are like wolves on the grassland, and there will be more and more tribes who want to hunt us to get some benefits." ”

In short, before seeing worry-free, it is best to pick the soft one and fight first.

Yuwen will see Sima Dan take out the token, and laugh: "Kedun sent a few messengers out, but Da Dan Yu has already issued an order to intercept them, and your token is useless." ”

Sima Dan's heart sank: "Da Dan Yu dares to be disrespectful to Ke Dun? ”

"Humph! You are a Han Chinese, you don't know our customs, Da Shan Yu has Na Ke Dun as his wife, he does not allow Ke Dun to make more trouble with the outside world, only let her be in the tent camp, and Ke Dun can only be obedient...... Scold...... Scold! ”

Seeing that the Xianbei people were getting closer and closer, and had already entered the range of the iron crossbow, Sima Dan sneered loudly: "We are ordered by Ke Dun to go to ask for peace, don't obstruct it, otherwise the Great Jin cavalry will not be blamed for destroying the reconciliation between the two clans!" ”

Xianbei people have long been accustomed to the concessions of the Jin people, how have they ever seen such a tough Jin soldier? They couldn't help but get agitated, and the horses neighed incessantly, and their hooves frequently dug through the dirt on the ground.

Yuwen will shout: "I won't kill the unknown general, your name?" ”

Sima Dan didn't want to appear as the crown prince, and had already designated a pseudonym, "Ma Guang is here!" Shoot me! With an order, the soldiers behind him immediately raised their iron crossbows, and for a while, a row of iron arrows burst out, shooting a group of Xianbei people in a blink of an eye.

The Xianbei people also opened their bows and arrows early, and they also shot straight at the Jin soldiers with a row of feather arrows.

The sound of ping-pong was endless, and all the feather arrows shot by the Xianbei people were blocked from the divine armor.

"Heavy cavalry!" Yuwen will scream in surprise, there are many ways to deal with the divine armor soldiers, but it is definitely not to shoot each other with bows and crossbows at close range, which is tantamount to suicide.

Some Xianbei people changed to sprint with big swords and spears in time, and the Jin soldiers who couldn't spare their hands to load iron arrows hurriedly responded with javelins, and slaughtered a good row of enemies who hit the tip of the spear, and the Xianbei people just wanted to pull out their horses and escape, Sima Dan shouted loudly in time: "Stop!" ”

The rain of arrows and javelins stopped suddenly.

Yuwen must not be killed, and Sima Dan wanted to leave a "witness", but the cavalry behind him and in the front row had already fallen under his horse, lying on top of the pool of blood that was still expanding in Yihong.

In a few breaths, the Xianbei people had shot down more than 100 people, and the rest of the knights hurriedly raised their shields and retreated.

"Yuwenbi, I don't want to hurt the harmony between the two countries too much, you'd better take us to see Kedun!"

Yuwen will not make a sound, and his men will not dare to move for a while, and some bold people will also hold the people next to them, after all, the Jin soldiers have not moved, and they still have to listen to Yuwen's orders.

Yuwen Bi saw the iron crossbow with new arrows in the hands of the Jin soldiers, and he already knew the stakes, but just as he didn't know how, a horn suddenly sounded in the distance.

Scattered groups of cavalry came from a distance, about two or three hundred horsemen.

These knights did not wear armor, only animal skins, the bows on their bodies were half larger than ordinary horse bows, and the long weapons were varied, like a gust of wind, through the Xianbei knights, to the surroundings of Yuwenbi.

Yuwen was taken aback, "Lord Kaman? ”

"What are you doing here?" A tall man said to Yuwenbi.

He ...... They are Jin soldiers. ”

"So you died so many people? Well...... It's an iron crossbow, no wonder your armor is useless, huh! As I said earlier, if you are good, what is the use of these armors? Said the head man named Kaman, dressed in animal skins.

Sima Dan guessed: "Is it the head man of Rouran?" ”

Kaman ignored Sima Dan and said coldly: "Prepare the shield!" All the Rouran warriors immediately raised their horse shields, those shields were so large and thick that ordinary people had to hold them with both hands, but the Rouran people gently raised them on their horses.

They are in groups of three or five, but they do not gather together, and the three and two riders cover each other, and even if they are iron crossbows, it is not easy to find a gap.

Sima Dan didn't expect this group of Rouran people to come suddenly, and thought that since he had already made a move, he would launch an attack today while the other party was only a small group of people and had to seize the fighter plane.

Kamantu said loudly: "Is it Prince Jin?" ”

Sima Dan was stunned, shook his head and said: "No, you Huns all look the same, and you are also very similar to your Da Danyu!" ”

Sima Dan was surrounded by the camp that night, and many people below Shi Mi also saw his face, but at that time in the dark night, the torches could not reach far, and Sima Dan's face was bloody, and now that he thought about it, Kaman was not sure, so he said: "You killed so many people, did you order Ke Dun?" ”

Sima Dan said proudly: "If we can't see Kedun, we will enter the Khan Court!" ”

"Haha! Good man! There are thousands of troops here, and you team of men and horses dare to kill people here, so I will let you see Kedun first, and then slowly clean you up. "Carman ordered someone to make way for him to live.

The Xianbei people had come back to their senses at this time, and when they saw that Kaman was going to let go of the Jin soldiers, their fierce anger recurred, and they all became agitated, and Kaman was furious, "You guys are looking for their bad luck yourself, and wait for others to see Kedun!" ”

******

Sima Dan took off his armor, but when the guards who were close to Wa wanted to take him with a knife, he shouted: "Get out of the way!" What man doesn't carry a knife? "Proudly entered the big tent by the depression.

Leaning on the high chair of the boss, there was a beautiful woman pouring wine and cutting meat for him at his feet, it was worry-free, and there were also leaders of the Huns on both sides, they all only cared about worry-free beauty, and few people noticed that Sima Dan walked in.

Lean Wa noticed: "This is the envoy of the Great Jin who came to visit Kedun?" ”

"Little man Ma Guang, see the Great Khan, Kedun."

Sima Dan saw Wuwu's appearance, both pitiful and hateful, and thought: "Cao Lie, I don't know if they have set off, it seems that Wuwu will not let us go so easily, I can't imagine that she has today." ”

Leaning on his shoulders with one foot: "Your princess of Dajin also kneels in front of me, why don't you kneel?" ”
