The camps of Li Ji's caravans were all their own tents, and a large area was stationed in a corner of Jincheng, and Zhou Yafu was completely encamped in accordance with the way the marching troops, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and heavily guarded.

On this day, it was snowing heavily, and the caravan drivers lit a fire in the wooden hut they had erected, roasted the fire, drank and chatted, and there was no sign of departure.

In the evening, a few ragged people suddenly stumbled at the gate of the camp, with blood marks on their bodies, and if you look closely, you can find that this is a family of three, two old people are gray-haired and have difficulty moving, a man in his forties has a lame leg, and he struggles to support the two old people, and he doesn't know how long he has been holding on, and finally fell down from exhaustion in front of the camp gate.

Seeing the heavy snow falling on the three people layer by layer, they struggled to squirm and couldn't get up, this scene was really miserable.

Finally, a guard with a big waist and a very strong waist couldn't stand it anymore, he came out and squatted down, saw the old lady's dim eyes were full of despair, trembling and begging: "Master Jun, the old man and the old couple are no longer good, please save my child, treat his legs, and give him a bowl of hot soup to drink......

The guard sighed and said, "Why did you come out on such a cold day? ”

The old lady said sadly: "If there is food at home, who will go out and run for their lives on nine cold days...... We are from Longxi County, a few days ago, the Qiang people burned and looted, the whole village was killed, wounded, young men and women were taken away, if it wasn't for our family of three hiding in the cellar, I'm afraid we would have died a long time ago......

Pity my son was stabbed in the leg and didn't dare to say anything, so he protected us to the death......"

The guards were full of compassion, turned around and called a few companions, helped the family of three in, put them next to the fire, and quickly bandaged the man's injured leg, and brought them a hot meal. The three of them devoured it, and their complexion was relieved.

The man's eyes were full of horror, and he said anxiously: "Oh, Daddy, the Qiang people are about to call when they speak, let's run away quickly, staying here for a while is more dangerous!"

By the way, Master Jun, I think you seem to be protecting a caravan? Listen to the villain's advice, hurry up and leave Jincheng, this time the Qiang people are strong and strong. The coming momentum is fierce, there are tens of thousands of horses, Longxi County has been breached, and the dead are piled up! You'd better hurry up, Jincheng can't hold it! ”

The sturdy guard's face was full of horror when he heard this, and he said hesitantly: "This ...... I'll go talk to the steward and see what he thinks. ”

The man walked out quickly, and after a while he came back with a majestic old man, who asked majestically, "Have you seen the Qiang people in rebellion with your own eyes?" Are you sure there are tens of thousands of horses? How powerful are they. What about armaments? ”

The lame man trembled and said: "There are more than 10,000, they are all tall horses with a lot of water, cowhide armor, sabers, bows and arrows." That's amazing! ”

The old man snorted coldly and said with a sneer: "Among the Qiang people, that is, the Qiang (distributed in the area from Nagqu to Motuo in Tibet) are fiercer, but they have horses except for them. There are no decent iron weapons at all, where are sabers, bows and arrows?

If you're not lying, these barbarians should be the Huns. The old man is just wondering, where did they enter the territory of the Qiang people, and then pretend to be the Qiang people to harass the Han people? ”

The lame man looked at the old man in shock, and said after a while: "If it is a Huns, wouldn't it be even more terrifying?" If your caravan is targeted, it will be a terrible disaster! ”

The old man said with contempt on his face: "It's okay for the Huns' carving insect skills to deceive you and other foolish people, but you can't deceive my Han Dynasty's concubine, isn't it Yizhi who is slanting his eyes on our goods!"

Hmph, the barbarians are still playing such tricks to hide people's ears, the soldiers are divided into two ways, one pretending to be Qiang people to drive us behind, and the other is ambushing outside Zhangye City to prepare for a front and rear attack, all of which has long been expected by our concubines. ”

After the family of three glanced at each other, the lame man asked with admiration on his face: "Is the master of the horse you are talking about the hairpin lord Li Han?" ”

"Exactly."

"Oh, we just want to venture to the hairpin county to join the lord, if the caravan is going there, can we allow our family of three to go with us?"

The old man said arrogantly: "The establishment of the hairpin county by the horse lang is precisely to build a peaceful township for the border people of the Han Dynasty, why don't you want to go, but if you want to do something in Jincheng, hurry up and do it, tonight we will leave the camp, and we can't go out again after coming in, so as not to leak the news." ”

A family of three said that they didn't need to go out to run errands, and after thanking the steward, the lame man asked in surprise: "Mr. steward, didn't you say that the Huns want to fight each other, how dare you go?" ”

The old man looked up to the sky and laughed: "We are not stupid, why do we want sheep into the mouth of the tiger, a thousand people are not sent to death for 20,000 people!"

We stayed here for so long, just to confuse the enemy, and secretly organized a fake caravan, and tonight we will split up, the real caravan escorted the goods to Anding County, and after arriving in Beidi County, they went out of the customs and entered the Xiongnu, and the fake caravan went out of Zhangye along the original route, so let Yi Zhi go crazy against the carts of stones and hay! Hahaha! ”

After the old man finished speaking, he walked away with his hands behind his back.

The family of three was taken to a small tent by the guards, saying that it would be theirs, that they would rest for a while, that they would be called when they left in the middle of the night, and then they left.

Zhou Yafu returned to his tent, and after a while, Shi Shi, who was dressed as a guard, walked in, and said with a sarcastic face: "Old man, those three spies took out two pigeons, which seem to be hidden in the old lady's arms. ”

"Tell the people below not to intercept it, and let them send this information out."

"Hmm."

After the stone went out to tell him, he came back and said with a smile: "Let it go, the pigeon just flew away, and Feng Erniang went out with it." ”

Zhou Yafu said coldly: "Hmph, I want to deceive the old man with this clumsy method and force us to hurry into their encirclement, which is enough to show that Yi Zhi is not at ease staying at the border, and in addition, their equipment and grain and grass are not estimated to be rich, and we can't afford to spend it." ”

Shi nodded and said: "Old man, your trick is really clever, the Qiang people behind us are the ones who help drive the ducks, and they will never dare to fight us head-on, if Yi Zhixian rushes to the north to wait for us now, what awaits him is the ambush of Li Guangtaishou, who you invited to help." ”

Zhou Yafu sneered: "Not necessarily, the Bank of China said that they are cunning, the biggest possibility is that their soldiers are divided into two ways, one way to stay in Zhangye to wait, and the other way to go to the north to wait, so that no matter whether we are suspicious or not, they can not be disappointed, but I don't know that the team of 5,000 people, whether it is us or Li Guang, will not be afraid." ”

Shi's face was full of admiration, and there was only one sentence in his heart that the lord had said: "Jiang is still old and spicy!" ”

Feng Erniang walked in wrapped in the cold wind, her cheeks were red from the cold, and said: "The pigeon flew into the inn, and after a breath, the three fast horses galloped out of the city. ”

Shi said, "Did our spies stay in Zhangye bring those two treasures?" ”

Feng Erniang smiled: "Of course I brought it, it was the treasure left to us by the lord, and I still remember the painful look when he left." ”

The stone also smiled: "It was hatched by the lord in his arms, of course, it was distressing, if it was not an emergency, it should never be released, now is the critical moment, this pair of babies should also show their faces, by the way, who did you bring out?" ”

"I took Xida with me, and I chased it for a long distance before I was coaxed back by Sister Gu."

Zhou Yafu was puzzled when he heard this, and couldn't help asking, "What kind of mess?" What did Li Han hatch? Hi Da, what is Puben? ”

Shi said proudly: "When we were crossing the mountains in the west, the lord found a snow harrier eagle's nest, which contained two bird eggs, which we originally wanted to bake for him to eat, but after he shone it with a flashlight, he said that two little birds had grown up, so he put the meat in his arms and warmed them.

We all laughed at the sir, who knew that it was warm for more than ten days, and really hatched two eaglets, snow-white, but clever, sticking to the lord all day long, the lord said that this was his child, one was named Xida, and the other was named Puben, and now they are all grown up. ”

Although Zhou Yafu felt incredible, he smiled and said: "Although Li Han is not small, after all, he is still a child, and he is only like him when he is so naughty, but this name is very strange." ”

Indeed, the name of this pair of snow harrier eagles is a bad taste of Li Han, he feels that he is getting farther and farther away from modern society, so he dismantles this Internet hot phrase "Xi Da Puben" as the name of the eaglet, and calls it, as if it is still implicated in 2014.

At the third watch, a huge white bird flew into the camp and went straight to the stone's residence, the stone hugged for a long period of intimacy, and quickly cut a few pieces of mutton and fed it, before taking a bamboo tube from the harrier eagle's leg, taking out the secret letter inside and sending it to Zhou Yafu.

Zhou Yafu saw that it was written: "The Hun soldiers were divided into two routes, Sa Wutu led 5,000 troops to stay in Zhangye, and Yi Zhixiao led 5,000 soldiers to the north." ”

"Sure enough, as the old man expected, let's set off from the camp, according to the original plan, let Feng Erniang take the fake caravan to Anding County to the north, and we will still go to Zhangye."

"Yes."

"Are all the things we are going to give to Li Guang ready?"

Feng Erniang said with a smile: "That's right, since the little woman has those three spies, if there are only stones and hay in the carriage, they will definitely not be able to hide it, and the batch of things that happened to be given to Li Taishou can deceive them." ”

Zhou Yafu said stupidly: "When Li Guang was in Chang'an, he was such a square gentleman, how could he stay at the border for a few years and become so thick-skinned, the old man asked him to do a favor, and even asked for something." ”

Feng Erniang shouted: "Li Taishou is a gentleman? Ha, the old man doesn't know how shameless he is to ask for something from our base! (To be continued......)
