After using food, Han Mo only felt that after this long sleep and the supplement of food, his body had recovered a lot, and suddenly remembered something and asked, "How is Commander Wang?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, their expressions became gloomy, and finally someone said: "General, the king's commander has ...... It's gone! ”

Han Mo had already guessed that this was the result, and at this time, he was sure that his heart was gloomy.

"General......!" A soldier said cautiously: "The corpses of more than a dozen brothers who were killed in the valley were also carried back with the corpses of the king's commanders, but ...... But Yellowbeard said that if they carried their corpses back on their backs, they would be broken before they returned to the army. And...... Moreover, in this season, if the corpse is not buried early, it will be poisonous, so we can only find a remote place for the corpses of the king's commander and the brothers to be buried first. But we marked ......! ”

Han Mo bowed slightly: "It's also good to go into the soil early to be safe." Thinking that the bones of two thousand Yan soldiers were left in Shannan County and could not return to their hometowns, his heart was even more gloomy, but he was very self-blaming.

"General, little one...... Little presumptuous, brethren...... Brethren want to know one thing......! The yellow beard sat next to him, and under the firelight, the beard was unkempt, but his expression was quite strange.

Han Mo said gently: "What's the matter? ”

Yellowbeard and the others looked at each other, and finally had the courage to ask: "General, the little one can't speak, if what he says is wrong, don't blame the little one." ”

Han Mo said softly: "We are all brothers who have been born and died together, so if you have something to say." ”

Yellowbeard hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "General, the brothers all said that this time we were surrounded by the Wei army, and someone betrayed us, is this true?" ”

As soon as he said this, dozens of soldiers gathered around, and everyone looked at Han Mo.

Han Mo pondered for a while, and finally said, "Before the matter is investigated, I am not sure. However, our march was secretive, and we had made careful arrangements in advance, and if we had not been betrayed, I really couldn't understand why the Wei people would know our whereabouts, and even set a trap to surround us. ”

Originally, these were all thoughts in his heart, and he didn't say it to outsiders, but these people had all lived and died with him, and when he asked at this time, Han Mo still expressed the doubts in his heart.

As soon as Han Mo said this, the faces of all the soldiers were difficult to look at, and many of them showed anger in their eyes, and one of the soldiers had already said, "General, who will betray us?" He killed 2,000 brothers ......! ”

Everyone else also said: "General, we must find out the traitor, and we must break his body into thousands of pieces to avenge the brothers!" ”

Han Mo nodded, groaned slightly, his expression was cold, and his tone was firm: "Don't worry, I will swear in front of you today, who betrayed us, I will definitely find out, and I promise you that after I find the traitor, no matter who he is, I will cut off his head to avenge the dead brothers." If this promise is broken, heaven and earth will not tolerate it! ”

"General, we believe in you."

"Yes, General, as long as you are there, you will definitely be able to find out the traitor."

Hearing Han Mo's promise, everyone became excited.

This group of warriors is not afraid of death, on the battlefield, blood-stained robes, fighting for the country, for them, it is a kind of glory as a soldier. But if they are betrayed by their own people and innocently killed, this is something that is difficult for the emperor to accept, and the resentment in their hearts is condensing, if they can't find out the traitor and kill him, this resentment will never disappear.

Today, Han Mo promised in public to find out the murderer and promise to kill him, which means that sooner or later he will discharge the resentment in his heart for everyone, and he can avenge the innocent brothers who died in battle, and everyone is naturally grateful.

Everyone rested in this cave**, and the next morning, when Han Mo woke up, there were soldiers who had already prepared water and baked food, and after everyone finished eating, under the leadership of Han Mo, they walked out of the cave.

Han Mo led the Shadow Horse and looked around, being in the middle of the mountain forest, surrounded by either steep mountain walls or dense forests, it was difficult to discern where he was, and even the direction was difficult to determine now.

Han Mo asked the people around him, "Do you still remember the direction?" ”

The people around him looked at each other, and finally someone said: "General, at the beginning, when we came out of the first-line valley, we still knew to go north, but later we rushed at night and encountered a few mountains, so we turned around and detoured, and we don't know if the direction was right later." There were a few rounds of hunting...... In this mountain forest, it is really difficult to discern the direction, so I got lost. ”

Han Mo looked up at the sky, the trees were extremely dense, and it seemed to be a hazy weather recently, there was no sun in the sky, and he really didn't know how to identify the direction for a while.

Han Mo knew in his heart that now that he was in the mountains of Shannan County, if he wanted to return to Suiding County, he could only go north, and if he couldn't even determine the direction, he would probably just wander aimlessly among the mountains.

He thought for a moment, and finally ordered: "Someone, use your helmet to get some water!" "Immediately someone with a helmet went to fetch water.

Han Mo took out a small steel needle connecting the armor from the broken armor on the mountain, with two little fingers in length, and walked to the mountain wall with the small steel needle, and rubbed the steel needle on the stone wall for a while.

Everyone was puzzled for a while, not knowing what Han Mo was going to do.

The soldier who received the water quickly came back with his helmet in his hand and presented it to Han Mo and said, "General, the water is coming!" ”

Han Mo said: "You are holding a helmet. He muttered to himself: "I don't know if it's useful!" ”

The soldier was a little strange, he thought that Han Mo wanted mountain spring water to drink, but now it seems that the general is obviously not for drinking, but for another purpose.

The thirty-two soldiers were all armed with swords, except for a few soldiers who were scattered around to be on guard, everyone else gathered around, wanting to see what Han Mo was going to do.

Han Mo carefully pinched the rubbed small steel needle, bent down, picked up a small leaf from the ground, walked to the helmet filled with clear water, and put the leaf into the clear water of the helmet.

The leaves of the tree were floating on the water, and the soldier holding the helmet didn't understand what Han Mo was going to do, so he was honestly afraid, and he didn't dare to breathe.

Han Mo then carefully placed the small steel needle horizontally on the leaves, and stared at the water with a rather solemn expression, and several people next to the helmet suddenly saw that the needle began to swing slowly in the water, and soon stopped.

Han Mo groaned slightly, and said to the soldier holding the helmet: "Don't move your hands, turn in one direction!" ”

The soldier immediately carefully held the helmet and turned around, Han Mo followed the soldier's rotation and slowly turned, his eyes were always staring at the small steel needle suspended on the leaves, seeing that the small steel needle was indeed moving slowly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he pointed in one direction and said, "That's the north!" ”

Everyone was a little surprised, not knowing why Han Mo was so sure.

Han Mo asked with a smile, "Do you remember which direction you came here from?" ”

Yellowbeard said loudly: "Little one remember, it's from over there!" With that, he pointed in the other direction.

Han Mo sighed: "It seems that we are really going in the wrong direction. We've been going west, and now we're going back a little bit, and then we're going north. ”

Yellowbeard hurriedly asked, "General, how do you know that we are on the wrong path?" You say it's north, how do you know that? ”

Han Mo pointed to the helmet and said, "Have you heard of the compass?" ”

"Compass?" Most of them were puzzled.

"Then have you heard of Sinan?" Han Mo asked again, he suddenly sounded, the compass should still be called "Sinan" at this time.

"General, I've heard of it." A soldier immediately said: "When I was in my hometown before, I heard a teacher say that there is something that can point out the direction when people get lost, whether it is in the sea or in the desert, that thing is indispensable, it seems to be called 'Sinan'." Scratching his head, he said, "It's just that the little one has never seen it!" ”

Han Mo pointed to the helmet with a smile and said, "Now you can see it, this is Sinan, with it, we can know the direction in this wood, and we won't get lost!" ”

"This is Sinan?" Everyone was extremely curious, and they all came up to take a closer look, and there was already a humane: "General, you are really powerful, and you even know this." ”

Han Mo smiled: "It's a very simple thing, if you get lost in the future, you will know how to identify the direction." Knowing in his heart that he couldn't delay too much in Shannan County, and if he wanted to get out of the mountains, it would take a few days, so he said: "Everyone is ready, let's go back first, and then turn back to the north." You have to be cautious on the road, this is the territory of the Wei people, and I don't know where the Shannan army is now. He instructed: "All the way, you march on the left, the three of you on the right, the three of you in front of the path, if there is any situation, you can call for warnings, and the others are in the middle of the road, before you get out of this mountain forest, everything must be careful." ”

The yellow-bearded man said: "General, there are still many fierce beasts in this mountain forest, and they will suddenly come out, and we will have brothers injured under the sharp claws of fierce beasts." ”

"Yes!" Han Mo nodded and said, "So everyone should be careful." Okay, let's go now, we first determine the direction, go straight ahead, the small steel needle on the south will lose its magnetism after a while, so once the direction is uncertain, we have to regenerate the magnetic ......! ”

Everyone was at a loss, not understanding what magnetism was, but when they saw Han Mo waving their hands, everyone did not hesitate, according to Han Mo's instructions, the three of them quickly explored the way, and the other six people separated their left and right wings, and then returned.

Along the way, be cautious, because there are many snakes, insects, tigers and leopards in this mountain forest, in order to avoid being injured by the sneak attack of wild beasts, so as soon as it gets dark, Han Mo ordered his subordinates to find a place to rest, and on the first day, he also found a cave, but on the second day, he could only rest in a dense forest, which made people take turns to keep vigil.

However, the food and drink on the road is worry-free, there are always springs in the mountains, but the wild game in the mountains and forests is enough for everyone to eat enough, and the Shadow Horse can also have enough weeds to satisfy their hunger, rest and walk, and on the fourth day, Han Mo led everyone to turn north in the direction of the compass's reality.

After doing this for four days, there was no human figure, but judging from the mountainous terrain, it seemed that they were about to walk out of the mountains of Shannan County, and everyone was excited.

At dusk on the fifth day, Han Mo was leading everyone forward in a valley, and suddenly there was a whistle in front, which was the signal of the spies in front, Han Mo immediately became alert, waved his hand, and all the soldiers drew their swords in their hands, and saw the three people in front of him quickly running back, and when they arrived in front of Han Mo, they said to Han Mo: "General, there is a group of Wei people in front, there are forty or fifty people, the number is extremely large, look at the dress, it seems to be a group of hunters!" ”

Han Mo sneered: "How can there be thirty or forty hunters acting together, I'm afraid it's a bandit, right?" ”

"General, what should we do?"

Han Mo hadn't answered yet, but he heard a rough voice shouting from in front of him: "Don't move, move and shoot you to death!" In the midst of the voice, a group of people fanned out from the front of the valley, bending their bows and arrows one by one, aiming at Han Mo and his party.
