Chapter 52: Decision

Mozi was in a hurry

"Brother, you know that if Brother Lu Dao goes, he will die. What a bad idea. ”

Murda hurriedly explained

"Third sister, don't worry. The grid stone that delivered the letter has already been slaughtered by me, and you see that my clothes are this dumb. The letter is still in my hand, and the seal of Haba's prince. ”

With that, Murda took out the letter and the seal. Mozi took the letter and read it

"Marquis Humi Ling, after receiving the letter, quickly sent 20,000 cavalry under his command to deploy defense on the Xiumi River. I have falsely passed on the order of the Xiongnu Shan Yu, and asked the Xiongnu prince to go to the capital to get the gold. Please take the opportunity to kill him, and let Geshi take the head of Mao Dun back to the Xiongnu royal court. Geshi has my prince's seal in his hand, and he will act immediately when he sees the seal. Don't let go of Maudun, cut the grass and eradicate the roots. ”

Maudon gasped

"This bald head is so ruthless. Murda, after the Humi River, is the territory of the Yue Clan. Looks like we're just going to have to sneak in. It's just that I have to bypass many heavily defended checkpoints along the way, and I don't know when Lu Dao will be able to reach Lan Clan, the capital of the Yue Clan. ”

Mozi persuaded

"Brother Dun, then don't go. If you go, you can't finish it on time, and you put yourself in danger. Moda doesn't have this idea, let's listen to Liu An, kill Haba and Yan, and then find a way to prove their crimes. ”

Maudon shook his head

The letter does not mention Haba's name, only Geshi. I haven't heard of this grid, who knows where he came from. If we can't prove it, we will be guilty of the great crime of falsely accusing the Yan family, and then our lives will not be guaranteed. What's more, the lives of their father and younger siblings are also in the palm of their hands. If I don't go, they're finished. ”

Mozi wanted to say more, but Mao Dun hugged her and stroked Mozi's long black hair

"Mozi, I understand that you care about my safety. But I am the eldest son of the Huns, and my life is not only yours, but also given by my father, and it is also the Great Huns. Let me survive, it is better to die heroically. ”

Mo Zi didn't speak, hugged Mao Dun tightly, and her eyes were full of tears. Maudon put his left arm around Mozi and leaned her on his shoulder, motioning for Moda to continue.

"Big brother, I just said to let you go, but you don't necessarily have to cross the river."

"Oh? Do you want me to cross the desert? ”

"No, big brother, you should go to the Humi River. But just linger on the north bank of the river and don't cross the river. All you have to do is prepare to cross the river with great fanfare, and let the eyes of the Marquis of Humi keep their eyes on you. ”

"Brother, don't beat around the bush. Say it quickly. ”

"Good. Big brother, you firmly attracted Humi Hou and let him focus all his attention on Humi River. I'll go in the direction of the desert and go to Lan City to get back the golden people for you. ”

Everyone present was shocked, especially Liu An and Mao Dun.

"Brother. Your big brother understands. But it's too difficult, Big Brother can't let you take this risk. We, the Huns, call this great desert the Soul Eater Land, which is thousands of miles from the west of the Youxian Wang's Department to the Lan Clan's City. I haven't heard of anyone coming back alive, let alone crossing the desert. More than ten years ago, the Xiongnu organized a sneak attack across the desert, and as a result, the experienced 3,000 cavalry also died in the sand, and not even a single bone was brought back. You're from the Central Plains, how can you deal with it. It's a matter of death and life, and I can't let you go. ”

Moda was very moved to see that his eldest brother cared about his safety like this.

"Big brother, do you have any other choice? If you don't go to the desert, you won't be able to come back in a month. I've participated in an outdoor desert crossing in my hometown, across the Tengger Desert, and I have more than two years of outdoor experience. Besides, I have a topographical map of the Western Regions given by Haba, which is extremely detailed. Big brother, you are the future of the Great Huns, and you will dominate the grassland in the future, so you can't take this risk. If the eldest brother believes me, leave it to me, and I will definitely bring the golden man back to you. ”

After Meda finished speaking, she looked at Maudun with a resolute gaze. Mao Dun looked at the brother in front of him, and a wave of pride and gratitude welled up in his heart. He knew that what he said made sense, and he also knew that he was determined and able to do so. He didn't shirk anything more and nodded.

"Murda, big brother won't say anything. When you come back, I will give you the Otsuki clan. ”

"Big brother, me"

Murda was about to speak, but Maudun stopped him with words

"I know you're not here for riches. Why bother talking between brothers, I want to hand over the western part of the Xiongnu to you. Let's create the world together! Only the people I trust the most can deliver territory. Murda, the Huns are my life. The Jin people are sacred relics for us to worship our ancestors, and I entrust you with the heavy responsibility. What do you need me to do with you, just say. ”

Brother Mo Dazhi doesn't like to be polite, and the grassland man goes straight. His sincerity will naturally not refuse, this is the straightforwardness of the grassland people. Murda then told Maudon what she thought

"Big brother, we can't do anything with us alone. The Xiongnu court has been controlled by Haba, and the 100,000 cavalry of the royal court are at his disposal. Strength is the guarantee of morality, I don't think you should be stubborn. If you want to prevent the Huns from shedding blood, you must frighten your opponent in terms of momentum and strength, otherwise you will have to meet each other. Only with the certainty of victory did Haba not dare to act rashly. So, we're going to use the arithmetic warfare. The so-called calculation is to "

Moda had memorized the contents of the war book given by the ink car, and now he was using the calculations to deal with the situation. He said everything about his understanding of the calculation battle, and he couldn't help but nod.

"Big brother, there are 30,000 people in King Zuoxian. You can send a letter to Mo Di and Mo Heng, and let them lead King Zuo Xian to secretly garrison troops on the edge of the royal court. Since the defeat of the Right Virtuous King, his vitality has been greatly damaged. The son and the pioneer were imprisoned by Haba, and it is estimated that he was also full of resentment. You ask the guards to go to Mo Liang and ask him to think of a way to persuade King Youxian to raise troops to save his son. In this way, we have foreign aid. Your former subordinates can be used as an internal response. In addition, for so many years, Haba has made the Huns miserable, and the people have long been dissatisfied. If we can take the opportunity to gain the support of the royal court, we will not worry about his undefeated. The only thing I'm worried about is that Lao Shan Yu and the princes and princesses are still in their hands, and we have to find a way to rescue them. Now the top priority is to get the golden man back, shut Haba's mouth, and win you more respect and admiration from the people. Time is running out, so I'm going to go. ”

Murda looked at Mo Dian, and said

"I said Mo Dian, do you want to come with me? There's something delicious in this desert. ”

As soon as Mo Dian heard that there was something to eat, he quickly nodded wildly

"What's in the desert?"

"What's the matter, just go. Guaranteed to kill you. ”

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up! Big brother, I won't accompany you! I went with Meda to the desert in search of food. ”

Mao Dun laughed in his heart, what is delicious in this desert, Moda is really messy.

Moda said goodbye to everyone and took Liu An and Mo Dian away. Mao Dun and the others watched Mo Da go away, and the waves in their hearts were rolling, this brother was easy to do even among the Huns.

Maudun led the group to the Humi River according to Murda's wishes, and asked Selemo to go to the Zuoxian Wang's department, and Jeddah to go to the Naske tribe to find Moliang and Mohan.

Although Liu An admires Moda's righteousness and courage very much, he still has no bottom in his heart when he crosses the desert that no one has come out of. Because ** didn't sleep, Moda didn't have time to think about other things, so he found a tent and three people fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Moda and Murda went out of the city, and last night they had discussed what they needed to travel through the desert today. Liu An was responsible for buying a herd of camels, and the transportation along the way was all dependent on these desert boats. With many years of experience in contact with animals in the grassland, Liu An successfully bought the best ten camels in the Wangting Bazaar. But Meda and Murda went all morning and did not return. When Liu An was in a hurry, he saw Mo Dian's huge body full of things, and staggered towards her, sweating profusely from exhaustion. When I looked at my body, I saw more than a dozen cauldrons, in which were placed two hundred parchment water bags, and several large felt cloths were wrapped around my waist. The rest were bits and pieces, filling a large cowhide bag to the brim. Liu An hurriedly asked, "Where is Moda?" "Murda went to buy milk. He asked me to set up a cauldron and make a fire and wait for him to come back. "What do you buy milk for?" "Meda says it's food on our way." Liu An thought, Murda, this fool. actually bought milk as food, and it took a month to go back and forth along the way. How much does it cost to buy milk for three people for a month? I really have no experience in desert survival, and the most important thing in the desert is to reduce the load. With so much milk, fifty camels were exhausted. Liu An asked where Moda bought milk and hurriedly chased after him. When they arrived, they saw Meda standing next to the two milkmen with his hands on his chest, listening to them quietly. These two men are a pair of business partners, and they are both well-known dairy sellers in the royal court. Although the milk is produced in the grasslands, there are still some mare's milk wine sellers who collect the leftover milk from the herders. The two were arguing with each other, and Liu An inquired with the onlookers before he found out. It turned out that the two dealers had ten catties of butter in their hands, and due to disagreement, they wanted to divide the butter equally and then part ways. But they didn't have a scale at hand, only a 10-pound bucket of butter, a gourd for 3 pounds, and a clay pot for 7 pounds. They poured oil drums into the two crockpots and the gourd, always evenly distributed, so they quarreled.
