Tou Man looked at the galloping Qin army, rushed to the crown angrily, and shouted angrily at Ugud: "Quickly let go of the reins, Ben Khan will personally destroy them!"

Prime Minister Bi Cheng hurriedly ran over and persuaded: "Great Khan, don't be, be careful of their ambush!"

Touman angrily reprimanded Prime Minister Bi Cheng and said: "Be careful of the ambush, be careful of the treacherous scheme, in addition to these words, what else will you say, where is the ambush, what kind of trick, you can't think of it, don't say this bird talk, who doesn't know the trick afterwards, what else does Ben Khan want you to do!"

Bi Chengxiang's face was red, he was embarrassed, he knelt on the ground, and said: "Weichen is incompetent, his crime deserves death, and he sweats and dies!"

Wugude also knelt down at the same time and said, "This general will ask for his life and lead the troops to hunt down and kill the Qin army!"

Tou Man was stunned for a long time, retracted his gaze, and sighed, "Forget it!" got off his mount and walked back to the big tent in despair.

......

In the Xiongnu military camp, the hustle and bustle is like a tide, the tongue of fire becomes a sea, because the river water is poisonous, although it is close at hand, but does not dare to take water from the river to water the grain and grass, can only be covered with soil, the wind at the mouth of the valley is not weak, the soldiers are busy all night, only to extinguish the fire, the grain and grass were burned nearly half, and the Xiongnu were killed by the Qin army more than 5,000 people.

Prime Minister Bi Cheng didn't sleep all night, this day and night of encounters, made his mind confused, go on like this, I don't know what danger he will encounter, that Taoist every step is accurate, tricks are endless, the Great Khan is right, if he can't see through the tricks, what use do you want him, you must come up with a way to change the current passive situation.

The Hun army did not sleep all night, plus a day did not drink water, the spirit was sluggish, after the rectification, after crossing a river, looking for a water source, walked half a mile, only to find a stream, after testing that it was non-toxic, it was safe to drink, and the whole stream was drunk dry by the Hun army.

Prime Minister Bi Cheng looked at the soldiers who were scrambling for water, and said to the head: "Great Khan, Weichen thought about it all night, we chased after the rear of the Qin army, and there were a lot of tricks, the Qin army did this, nothing more than to prevent us from forming a siege, yes, lay an ambush along the way, waiting for us to be hit, delay our time, if we do not chase after the rear of the Qin soldiers, but find another way, then their tricks will not succeed, and we will be unimpeded, grab ahead of them, quickly reach Yuyang, with Donghu, Xianbei surrounded Meng Tian, their strength was already less than ours, and they were scattered by our army, we concentrated our forces to attack Meng Tian, that Dao will inevitably take the initiative to attack us in order to help Meng Tian break through, and at that time, even if he has the talent to reach the sky, he can only go to die. ”

After hearing this, Tou Man showed joy and said, "The prime minister has really become smart, this plan is very good, but now how can we reach Yuyang before them." ”

Bi Cheng stroked his silver beard, pointed to the north, and said leisurely: "We go north for another hundred miles, is the Great Wall of Zhao, because the mountains there are criss-crossed, there have been no soldiers since ancient times, the city wall is like their own courtyard wall, it is easy to knock it down, Wei Chen knows that there is a road there, not to the outside of the pass, but to the upper valley, if we pass from there, the Qin army will never think of it, and when they find out, we have rushed in front of them." After hearing this, the generals nodded their heads in praise.

Wu Gude said: "If the Qin army also knows that road and where to ambush, wouldn't we fall into the plan again?" Hearing Wu Gude's questioning, everyone felt that this plan was too risky.

Prime Minister Bi Cheng said with a smile: "Where did the old man escape to Shanggu back then, there will not be too many people who know about that road, and because of the dangerous terrain, it is impossible to set up an ambush, so General Eagle can only pass with confidence." ”

Tou Man laughed and said: "The soldiers are fast, and if they are taken by surprise, they will march according to the prime minister's proposal, take a shortcut, and kill them without leaving a piece of armor!"

The Xiongnu army arrived at the border of Daijun, along the way did not find traces of the Qin army's march, sure enough, as Bi Cheng said, the city wall is only more than one zhang wide, due to disrepair, a large area collapsed, a little cleanup, the army quickly passed, the mountain peaks outside the pass are forested, the trees are verdant, the short road is actually a dry mountain stream, overgrown with weeds, mist, side by side more than ten rides, still feel relaxed, nearly 300,000 people and horses in this river lined up in a long line of more than ten miles, Ugand rode on the giant eagle from time to time, circled in front of the team to explore the road, to ensure that nothing goes wrong, but because the fog is too big, can only fly at low altitude, non-stop, travel for a day, to the night can not see the road, Touman ordered to rest。

The Hun soldiers were already tired and collapsed, heard the order to rest, each found a place to shelter from the wind, hastily ate some food, fell to the ground and slept, the night finally passed peacefully, the spirit of the soldiers recovered a lot in the morning, and after eating the food, they continued to move quickly.

The morning mist was so thick that he could only see a few feet away, and the soldiers' clothes were all wet with dew, and they could not see the sun, but only a vast expanse over the valley, and they walked for another day, but they did not go out of this short road, until the vast expanse turned into a shadow, and they had to rest in place, and they went again at dawn.

Prime Minister Bi Cheng began to feel uneasy, it stands to reason that this road, a day and a half of fast travel will definitely reach the upper valley, and now it has been almost two days, why haven't you walked out yet, is it because of the long team, walking slowly, but if you can't get out tomorrow, you can't reach the upper valley in front of the Qin army anyway, and said in your heart: "As long as you can avoid their ambush, even if the Qin army arrives first, it doesn't matter, at worst, the Qin army will be combined in one place, and it will not be difficult for the 400,000 troops to surround and kill them together." "Thinking about this, the boredom is relieved a lot.

......

On the second day, the march continued, and as the time continued, Touman and his soldiers began to get restless, and this shortcut had exceeded their expectations, and Touman asked in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, do you remember the wrong way, why can't you get out of this valley after walking for so long?"

Prime Minister Bi Cheng replied: "Weichen will not be mistaken, as long as you go down this valley, it will inevitably be the upper valley." ”

"But you said it was just over a day's journey, and now it's been more than two days. ”

"Wechen is also wondering, but when I walked here back then, it did take me a day and a half, and I will never be wrong. ”

"Did that Dao person know that we were here, and what kind of magic circle had been laid up?" Touman asked suspiciously.

"We walked this way, we didn't find the Qin army's whereabouts, the Qin army should not have thought that we could go here, even if they found out about us, it was too late to set up a formation, and the stone cliffs on both sides are steep, it is difficult to climb, it is impossible to hide on them, Wei Chen thinks that this possibility is very small, maybe the fog here is too heavy, causing us to march too slowly, and then continue to march, we will definitely go out." ”

Touman's heart was slightly relieved when he heard this, and he ordered the army to speed up the march, and ordered Ugand to go ahead to check.

Ugud took a giant eagle and flew rapidly along the mountain stream for 300 miles, but still did not find the exit, so he couldn't help but be suspicious, quickly returned, and reported to Toumanyu: "The exit has not been found for 300 miles ahead!"

After hearing this, everyone panicked, if the valley mouth was not found in three hundred miles, then it would not be able to go out of the valley today, it had been three days, if it could not go out in another three days, then Meng Tian would inevitably repel Donghu and Xianbei, and the encirclement would collapse, Meng Tian's 200,000 army turned around to fight with them, although it was better than 100,000 troops, but the outcome was difficult to predict, even if it was victorious, it could not be a complete victory, the Xiongnu would be greatly injured, if the Qin army came to reinforcements again, it was difficult for the Xiongnu to resist, and they could only choose to withdraw.

Prime Minister Bi Cheng was already panicking, "This, how is this possible!"

Touman turned his head and glared at Prime Minister Bi Cheng and said: "This is the shortcut you chose, if you can't get out of the valley today, I will cut off your head!" and said to Ugude: "You go to explore the road again, until you find the valley mouth and then return to report!"

Oggood rode the eagle and disappeared into the fog in a moment, just as the sky began to darken.

Prime Minister Bi Cheng dismounted in panic, knelt on the ground and said: "Weichen will never remember the errand, nor will he deceive the Great Khan, this road does lead to the upper valley, but I don't know why, this time I have walked for so long, is it really that the Taoist person has laid down the magic circle!"

Everyone was terrified after hearing this, half of the grain and herbs were lost, and the food would be out in five days, if the magic circle was laid here, it would not be as simple as delaying time, but it would trap the 300,000 army in the valley, but what magic circle was so powerful, it could deceive 300,000 pairs of eyes, where to arrange, when to arrange, where the Qin army was hiding, but I couldn't figure it out, and I felt that this possibility was very small, so I could only hope that Ugold would find an exit as soon as possible.

Tou Man knew that Prime Minister Bi was loyal and would never deceive him, so he said coldly: "Get up! Don't stand in the way in front of Ben Khan, and wait until you get out of the valley Ben Khan to settle accounts!"

......

The valley was once again plunged into darkness, foggy and cold, Ugand had been gone for two hours, and the later he returned, the longer the road would be, and at the speed of the giant eagle's flight, it should have flown thousands of miles away, and there would not be such a distance from Daijun to the valley, and this distance was constantly lengthening with the continuation of time, which made them wonder if there was an exit from this valley.

The Xiongnu soldiers were not only panicking, they remembered those terrible legends, there seemed to be countless ghosts hidden in the gloomy mountains and forests, and when they were not paying attention, they would rush to ask for their lives, they really hoped to see the Qin army, even if it was an ambush, at least there was a way out.

When the sky was vast again, Ugud did not come back all night, Touman and the others did not sleep all night, could it be that he encountered an accident, and still did not find the exit.

Prime Minister Bi Cheng looked dead, lowered his head and walked in front of Touman, and said humbly: "The criminal minister thought about it all night, and thought of the situation we encountered, which is very similar to the ancient formation 'Cloud and Mist Strange Barrier' that has long been lost, the fog here is too thick, so that we can't see the stars, sun and moon in the sky, and we have lost our direction, so we can only judge along the terrain of the valley, and once we are too far away, we can't see the straightness of the terrain, so we can only walk endlessly in this fog, and the criminal suspect that the Dao person is likely to use the fog and stone cliffs here to lay down this formation." ”

Touman said: "Then can this array be cracked?"

"Legend has it that Chiyou had been in this array after the deer, so that Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor lost his way, trapped in the array, and later the goddess of the lower realm awarded Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor "Qimen Dunjia", made a guide car, only to get out of the trap, defeated Chi You, although we do not have a guide car, but as long as there are artifacts that can identify the direction, maybe they will get out of the trap. He turned to look at the Xuanming Ancestor who was silent with his head buried under his hat.

Tou Man immediately understood what Prime Minister Bi meant, and smiled at Xuan Ming Ancestor: "Ancestor, is there a tool to identify the direction and use it by borrowing this Khan?"

Xuan Ming Old Ancestor said hoarsely: "Old decay has a compass here, I have tried it, the direction is chaotic, presumably because the stone cliff here contains magnets, and the method of cracking it that Bi Chengxiang said will not work!" said and threw the palm-sized compass to Bi Chengxiang.

Bi Chengxiang walked a few steps and tried, as the ancestor said, the pointer pointed to the nearby stone cliff, after trying a few times, sat down on the ground, his heart was like ashes, old tears gushed out, sad and remorseful: "I have no ambition to serve the country, but I have no talent to serve the country, I have brought the 300,000 army to a desperate situation, I don't regret dying......" took out a dagger and wanted to commit suicide.

Xuan Ming Old Ancestor's pale fingers moved slightly, and a black light flew out, knocking the dagger out, and said contemptuously: "If you die, I will ask for someone from whom, don't worry, the old decay is still in this array, you can't die!"

Touman's eyes were full of hope, and he looked at the ancestor and said, "If the ancestor can lead us out of this predicament, you will agree to any woman you want." ”
