Chapter 259: The Blood Flower Blooming on Tu Yanze

"Shameless?" Zhou Yafu laughed and laughed, and couldn't understand how a person like Li Guang could have anything to do with these three words.

Shi said helplessly: "Yes, old man, Li Taishou will go to our hairpin county every other day to rob it, as long as it is something we make, there is nothing he doesn't want, and he has no money to buy it, so he always grabs the dead IOU and leaves." ”

Feng Erniang rushed to say indignantly: "The most annoying thing is to see our copper mine, he squatted on the ground with his head in his hand for an hour, stood up and said four words 'I want to become a cheng', and then forced the stone to write a contract, and if he didn't write it, he coerced and lured, and finally grabbed the stone's hand and forced him to sign and draw the pledge, so he laughed and left, hum, it's not too much to say that he is shameless!" ”

Zhou Yafu was dumbfounded when he heard this, is this still the Li Guang he knows? What is it that makes that tough guy who won't compromise at all turn into a hob meat-like reb? He decided that when he met Li Guang, he must have a good talk.

At the third watch, a strange horn sounded from the stones, and when the silent camp was entrained, no one spoke or gave orders, but all the men packed up their vehicles with the greatest efficiency, and in a quarter of an hour the whole caravan was ready to go.

The "poor" family of three was also mixed in the convoy, watching the tall and mighty old man in charge of the carriage get into a carriage, and the female steward of the hairpin county stood in front of the carriage respectfully and respectfully bent over to ask for something, and then she stepped back and got into a climbing plow, waved her hand, and the horn sounded again, and the convoy set off slowly.

A guard came over and said, "Your family of three is old, and you are injured, we have told the steward, let your family climb the plow, you can sit on it, don't talk much along the way, just follow along." ”

The lame man hurried to thank him. I took my parents to the plow, and a horse in front of me joined the team.

The snow did not stop, and the ground was white, so although there were no stars and moons, a faint silver light could still be seen, and the huge caravan quietly left in this strange atmosphere.

The family of three also heard the soldiers whispering the steward's order, ordering all the camps not to be dismantled, and bringing in civilians hired from the establishment to pretend to be caravan personnel, so as to deceive the Hun spies and leave quietly on a snowy night. As soon as the heavy snow covered the traces tomorrow morning, the Huns would think that the caravan was still stranded in Jincheng and never left.

Hearing this, the "old lady" showed a grim smile.

The convoy walked quietly in the night, a family of three followed the guards who greeted them to take the lead out of the camp, it was really convenient to climb the plow, and it was pulled to walk fast, and it was really going in the direction of Anding County, the face of the family of three showed a relieved expression, and the eyes were closed in the tattered leather jacket.

But they don't know. The steward's carriage in the middle of the procession stopped in the darkness, and the tall steward dismounted, and another large man of similar stature got into the carriage, and the carriage continued to merge into the middle of the caravan and walked away.

After Zhou Yafu and Shimu sent Feng Erniang to leave with the things given to Li Guang. He quickly returned to the camp and beckoned the real caravan to quickly pull out the camp and head in the direction of Weiwu County......

Tu Yanze, a swamp at the end of the weak water river. It is also an oasis in the long yellow sand, which belongs to the middle of the territory of the Han and the Xiongnu, and the domineering Qin Shi Huang spread the Great Wall along the weak water river all the way to here. Having made up his mind not to let this river of life enter the territory of the Xiongnu, all that could pass through the Great Wall was this poor swamp.

At this moment, Tu Yanze is also a land of ice and snow, the swamp that can swallow up life silently has become a frozen lake, and the surface is also covered with a thick layer of snow, if it is normal times, this place should be uninhabited, but now, five thousand Hun iron horsemen are camped here, waiting for their prey.

Behind Tu Yanze, is a not high hillside, there is a dense forest on the mountain, the camp is at the foot of the mountain, in the most central big tent, cow dung burns out with a grassy smell and a slight smell of fire, but it also makes the tent warm, the Xiongnu right Xianwang Sawutu wrapped in a pile of noisy sheepskins, holding a sheepskin bag and drinking mare's milk wine, his face is anxious and troubled.

A dark-faced young man squatted to the side and said worriedly: "Father, is Yi Zhi's news accurate?" We have been waiting here for half a month, and we have been out of food for three days, and in the past few days, the frozen dead and sick horses have been eaten, and if there is no harvest tomorrow, we will surely starve to death if we do not go back. ”

Sa Wutu said irritably: "I have already agreed with Yi Zhi Xian Shan Yu, we will only wait until noon tomorrow, and if the caravan does not come, we will retreat." ”

"Father, our territory has been having a hard time this winter, and if we come out for so long this time, if we go back empty-handed, I'm afraid that a group of old and weak women and children in our tribe will starve to death."

Sa Wutu said stupidly: "Then what's the way, this winter is so cold, we don't dare to go into the Han to hunt, if we only die some old and weak, it's already good, the military ministers and Huyan Tieji and their tribe are afraid of more casualties." ”

"Father, if Yi Zhi was not opposed, we Huns gathered together and elected the most elite warriors of each tribe, and it would definitely be a great harvest to go hunting in the Han Dynasty, but now, the divided Huns are like wild wolves without claws, and they can no longer catch fat cattle and sheep."

Sawutu said sadly, "May Heavenly Father bless us so that we can get through this difficult winter!" Son, after retiring tomorrow, let's take a detour to the Western Regions and rush into the Cheshi Houguo to hunt. ”

"To go to the Cheshi Houguo, you need to pass through the hairpin county, I heard that it is very rich now, why don't we grab a handful and leave?"

"Smack!" Sa Wutu sat up suddenly, raised his hand and slapped his son, and scolded: "Little beast, you remember to me, never, never, never hit the idea of the Holy Son!" His Heavenly Thunder Carrying Dafa is the nemesis of our Great Huns, we would rather run farther away to fight the idea of the people of the Western Regions, and never provoke his territory, that will make us die without a place to bury! ”

The young man covered his face unconvinced and said, "Then you and Yi Zhi Xian Shan Yu joined forces to rob, and it is not the caravan of the Holy Son?" Aren't you afraid of his Heavenly Thunder Carrying Dafa? ”

Sa Wutu said with a dark face: "Since we have chosen to follow Yi Zhi Xian Danyu, we must obey his orders, in this way, even if the Holy Son is angry, he will be annoyed." ”

While the father and son were worried, one of the guards opened the curtain and rushed in, holding a dove in his hand, and said, "King, there is news." ”

Sa Wutu hurriedly took a piece of cloth from the pigeon's leg, opened it and looked at it, and his face changed and exclaimed, "Suffer! ”

"What's wrong, father?"

"Our spies in Zhangye found that the caravan from Hairpin County has arrived in Zhangye, and they went directly along the river without stopping at all, they have a strange means of transportation, which can move quickly along the cold ice of the river, and it is estimated that it will arrive at dawn!"

"Huh? Didn't the great master personally go out to infiltrate their caravan, and the information given to us was that the caravan was rerouted to Shangjun, why did it come to our side? ”

Sa Wutu's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he said: "That Holy Son acted as an unpredictable prophet, and his measures were unexpected, he must have seen through the great power teacher and deliberately used the suspicious tactics......"

The young man hurriedly said, "Then what should we do, should we run away quickly?" ”

Sa Wutu hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "If they think that our soldiers and horses have all been taken away by Yi Zhi Xian Danyu, there will definitely be no troops to guard against this way, if it is a fat sheep, let's catch it and run, and leave the hatred to Yi Zhi Xian to resist." ”

The young man exclaimed excitedly, "That's the best, then let's start the ambush, shall we?" ”

As soon as Sawutu waved his hand in agreement, the young man rushed out of the tent, shouted loudly, and began to set up an ambush.

Before dawn, a snow harrier eagle suddenly flew over Tu Yanze, the huge white bird circled the swamp that seemed to be a snowfield, and when it swept low through the mountain forest behind the swamp, there was a neighing sound of horses inside, and the bird was frightened and flew away quickly.

An hour later, a long row of climbing plows appeared quickly along the weak water on the periphery of Tu Yanze, the leading climbing plow stopped, and the climbing plows behind quickly gathered together, forming a climbing plow fortress.

Zhou Yafu jumped off the plow and looked coldly at the mountain forest, although there was silence there, but, as a veteran, he had already seen the clues from the treetops without snow.

Shi rubbed his hands nervously and jumped around, and said eagerly: "Old man, I said that the ambush is in the woods, what should I do?" ”

Zhou Yafu said calmly: "Let's not be in a hurry, if there is a trap and ambush on the attack, we will have casualties, just wait here for them to come and fight us, you go and arrange the things on the three carriages." ”

"Yes."

Shi excitedly called a few people, quickly unloaded some things from a tightly sealed carriage, and the craftsmen who accompanied the team quickly assembled several eight-ox crossbows with tools.

At the same time, Zhou Yafu ordered the combat-ready guards to divide into three teams, the first row each holding a tall shield in his hand, forming a circle along the perimeter of the climbing plow, the second row holding spears, and the third row holding Mo knives, forming a simple military formation.

After arranging it, Zhou Yafu climbed on the roof of the carriage and laughed loudly at the woods: "Sa Wutu, the old man is waiting for you to rob, come quickly!" ”

There was a strange cry in the woods, and five thousand iron horsemen finally rushed over, when they were still seven or eight hundred steps away from the caravan, Zhou Yafu waved his hand, and the first wave of siege chisels with gunpowder bags flew out from the eight bull crossbows, with a line of fire straight into the team of the Huns, and then burst out with clusters of sparks, and then, a blood flower bloomed in the air, and the broken limbs flew high.
