Chapter 31: Hanhai Devil City
If there is a spy in the army, it is equivalent to a grain of mouse feces spoiling a pot of porridge, so the sooner this spy is found, the better, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
What Tang Qing decided to do, Wei Chen couldn't dissuade him no matter how much he spoke, so he had to compromise and agree to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go to Hecang City.
At the same time, in order to ensure the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Wei Chen also decided to personally take people to Hecang City early tomorrow morning to get food and strive to rush back to the camp as soon as possible.
Xu Mingyuan was taken aback after receiving the news that General Wei and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were going to go to Hecang City with him tomorrow to get food, and couldn't help but wonder why Wei Chen, as the commander of the army, left the camp at this critical time.
Could there be some conspiracy in this?
The more General Xu thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and according to General Wei's cautious style, it was impossible to leave the barracks when the two armies were about to start a war.
So, there must be some conspiracy here! (That's right, it's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is plotting against General Xu~)
Although there was no way to figure out General Wei's thoughts for a while, General Xu was very conscious of being an eyeliner, and he did his intelligence work conscientiously, and passed the news he obtained to Dashan Yu Yanlie through a kind of black fish specially domesticated by the Huns as soon as possible.
At this time, Hu Yanlie had already led 3,000 iron cavalry to retreat for 50 miles, and was hiding in a valley, preparing to join up with the 200,000 Xiongnu army that came behind and then launch an attack on the Jin army.
In the process of retreating just now, Hu Yanlie has been thinking about a question, how should they fight in the next battle?
This time, his plan to raid the Jin army was unfavorable, so he could only formally confront the Jin army, and there would inevitably be a fierce battle to be fought at that time.
Thinking of this, Hu Yanlie became more and more puzzled, what went wrong with the original seamless plan?
Wu Luoyin was the first to check the bones of the cattle and sheep that they had buried by the stream before, but it inexplicably fell into the hands of the prince of the Great Jin.
At present, it seems that everything has taken a turn for the better because of the Great Jin prince who appeared out of thin air.
But Hu Yanlie thought about it and felt that it was wrong, he hadn't gotten any news about the prince of the Great Jin Dynasty before this, could it be said that the spies he had planted in the Jin army had been discovered by Wei Chen?
For the Huns, the situation was very bad.
Just when Hu Yanlie was worried that his spies had been discovered by the other party, Hei Yu brought the news back from Xu Mingyuan in time.
Looking at the note in his hand, Hu Yanlie's mind raced, Wei Chen left the camp at this time, no matter what the purpose, it was obviously not a wise move.
This was another rare opportunity for him, if he could easily deal with Wei Chen and the prince on their way to Hecang City, the remaining 100,000 Jin troops would be defeated without a leader.
Although there is only a distance of more than 30 miles from Yumen Pass to Hecang City, it is necessary to pass through the edge of Hanhai Devil City, and the Central Plains people are not familiar with the terrain of Devil City, and it is very easy to get lost in it, so that place is also an excellent place for him to start.
After paying attention, Hu Yanlie no longer hesitated, and immediately led three thousand iron horsemen to the Devil City to prepare an ambush in advance, waiting for Wei Chen and the prince of Dajin to come to the net early tomorrow morning.
As soon as it was dawn early on the morning of the second day, Wei Chen temporarily handed over everything in the army to the deputy general Liu Yong, and he and Tang Qing rushed to Hecang City with a twenty-man grain transport detachment, including the Great Shaman and General Xu.
In less than a stick of incense, everyone came to the edge of Hanhai Devil City, and Tang Qing was immediately stunned by the spectacular scene in front of him.
As far as the eye can see, there is no grass growing loess, but it is surrounded by all kinds of strange-shaped mounds, some of which are even several stories high, one by one, like a forest of large and small castles, high and low are scattered.
The wind whirls through the mounds with flying dust, and the sound is so terrible that it makes people feel like they are in another strange world.
"I'll go, what a spectacular Yadan landform!" Tang Qing couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
"What did you say, Your Highness the Crown Prince?" Wei Chen said that he couldn't understand what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, what should I do? īŧ-__-''īŧ
"Well, the Yadan landform is a term used to describe this kind of landform that has been eroded by wind and sand all year round." Tang Qing, who didn't know much about history and culture, but had a lot of scientific knowledge, immediately began to give General Wei a small knowledge of geography.
"Yadan landform? Why had the last general never heard of this before? Wei Chen couldn't help but wonder if he was really too lonely?
"Uh...... That's the name I gave, doesn't it sound good? Tang Qing forgot that it was impossible for the ancients to know the word Yadan landform, so he could only casually say nonsense.
Wei Chen...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not only keen on giving people strange names, but now he doesn't even let go of a piece of terrain......
Wei Chen thought about it, he still didn't want to ask what this "Yadan" meant, he continued to talk to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here about naming the terrain is that he is stupid, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can call whatever name he likes, he can't stop it anyway.
"Oh yes, this kind of place also has a special name called Devil's Town, because the wind shuttles back and forth between the mounds and makes a sound like a ghost crying wolf, especially at night, it can become especially eerie, so the locals call this kind of place Devil's Town." Tang Qing then added a little more.
Wei Chen nodded in agreement, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said was true, "Yes, this area is called Hanhai Devil City." â
Tang Qing raised her eyebrows, and confidently straightened her small chest, she really knew astronomy and geography, and learned both Chinese and Western...... (Stop, stop, stop, do you want to face?) It's almost blowing into the sky. (īšīš)~âīŧ
"However, although the scenery here is good, it is said that this place is quite evil, if people rush into it and can't grasp the direction, it is easy to get lost, then they will never be able to get out again, are we sure we want to enter the Devil's City?"
Beautiful things often coexist with dangers, and the reason why Devil's Town is called Devil's Town is also because it can devour people's lives at any time, and how many people have died here since ancient times is probably countless.
Wei Chen's face was solemn, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said he naturally knew that from Yumen Pass to Hecang City, they had to pass through a small piece of stone forest in Devil City, and they had to take this risk.
This is also the reason why Yumen Pass is still worried although it is very close to Hecang City.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, we must pass through a small piece of Hanhai Devil City to go to Hecang City, this is the edge of Devil City, as long as we don't go deep into Devil City, we won't lose our way."
Tang Qing frowned, this ancient transportation is really inconvenient, the fastest way to travel can only rely on horseback, if only she had a helicopter now, it would not be a matter of minutes to transport a few trips of food. (Wake up, you've already crossed~)
"Okay, then Achen, you lead the way, everyone should be careful, pay attention to maintaining formation, and don't get separated." Tang Qing turned around and reminded everyone, and took the lead in riding a horse and following Wei Chen into the Devil's City.
Behind him, the other eighteen people also walked into this Hanhai Devil City, which was full of danger and mystery, one by one.
