Li You gasped and put the long sword back into the sheath, the blood-soaked clothes made him feel extremely uncomfortable, fortunately these blood were all Huns! Looking at the other people in the team, except for Pan Feng, who is still full of energy, everyone else is tired to varying degrees, and Chen Qingzhi, who is the weakest, is already lying on the back of the horse and is so tired that he can't speak!

"Father, how long will it take to find a place to rest?" Li Youqiang asked with a high spirit, after entering the territory of the Kun Evil King, the situation suddenly changed drastically, and this was already the third wave of interceptions they had encountered in a few days! Thankfully, they were all in small groups, and after a fight, they left them behind; However, in spite of this, the number of the whole mission was reduced again in the course of a few days, and in the battle against the Huns they lost about the same number of men and horses as they had when they crossed the Wusheling Ridge, and now the mission had less than a hundred men left.

And these survivors have more or less injuries on their bodies, and they really can't fight like this anymore! Now the most important thing is to find a place that is not easy for the Huns to find and rest for a few days.

"There's a hill twenty miles ahead, remote and inaccessible, and we can rest there!" Tangyi's father also gasped and replied, he had been slightly injured in the battle just now, and now he gritted his teeth and persisted.

"You can't go directly, you have to go around a few circles to confuse the pursuers!" Although he was already too tired, Chen Qingzhi gritted his teeth and insisted on reminding them!

"There's a small river ahead of us, and we can use it to get rid of our opponents!" Tangyi's father also thought of this, and walked another seven or eight miles, and sure enough, a small river six or seven meters wide appeared in front of him; Everyone didn't care about drinking water and resting, so they directly hit their horses into the river and walked down the river for several miles.

After walking in the water for more than an hour, the people went ashore and ran to the hill of which their father had spoken; Night is approaching, everyone finally arrived at this hill, only to see that the mountain is rocky, almost no green, and there is no grass around, I think this kind of place will not be patronized by herdsmen! Li You was a little relieved at this time.

I went around the hill, found a sheltered col and set up camp, arranged sentry scouts, and helped the doctors to bandage and treat the wounded, and was busy until the middle of the moon, so that Li You could take a breath.

"Envoy, maybe it was the Kun Evil King who got the order of the Bank of China to pester me so much!" Tangyi's father said that the grassland is vast, and if it weren't for sending a large number of people to deliberately look for it, how could it be so easy to run into it.

"We haven't even walked half of this road within the realm of the Kun Evil King! The farther you go, the closer you get to his station! You'll encounter more and more enemies! I've got to figure out a way! Li You frowned, this section of the road was really much more difficult than the one in the territory of King Hutu.

"The Kun Evil King is harsh, and he is much more decisive than the King of Hugh Tu, and he is not an easy opponent to deal with!" This Kun Evil King is even more ambitious, he may want to strengthen his control over the various tribes by intercepting the Han Dynasty envoys, or he wants to show his face in front of Da Shan Yu, which is by no means comparable to the chaotic life of King Hutu.

"Envoy, we don't have much medicine with us! If there is another battle in the future, I am afraid that "while the deliberations are being held, the healers in the mission have brought another bad news!"

"I see!" Li You nodded and motioned for himself to write it down, now in all respects, the mission is not suitable to confront the Huns head-on, either choose another path, or have to transfer these Hun cavalry scattered on the grassland to other places to make way for the mission.

After listening to Li You's inquiry, Tangyi's father thought for a while, and finally shook his head, "Envoy, we are almost in the middle of the Kun Evil King's territory now, whether it is the south, the north or the west, the road is similar, and the east is shorter, but that is the direction we came from, we can't go back here!" ”

"And now it's almost winter, the grass of the tribes has been finished, and those young people have nothing else to do on weekdays! They have to spend time and us! It's not easy to move them away from the west! "The busy seasons of the nomads are mainly spring and autumn, in the spring they need to drive the herd to find pasture, and in the autumn they need to stock up on hay for the winter, these two seasons are very important to them, and in the winter the weather is cold, the grass and trees are not growing, and the old and weak women and children can do the work of caring for the herd well, so they have time to deal with them under the orders of the evil king.

Seeing that these two methods were rejected by Tang Yi's father, Li You fell into deep thought; Father Tang Yi got up and looked up at the night sky, "Hey, it's been a sunny day for a few days in a row, and it would be nice if there was a snowstorm!" We can also take advantage of the wind and snow to avoid the enemy! ”

Well? Snow? A flash of inspiration flashed in Li You's mind, and for a moment he seemed to feel that he had grasped something, and he hurriedly asked, "How long has it been since it snowed here?" ”

"We haven't seen much snow since we came down from the Snow Mountain!" Father Tang Yi kicked a small pit in the ground with his toes, squatted down to remove the floating soil, picked up a piece of dry soil from the pit, and rubbed it with his hands, and the dry soil was crushed into pieces and scattered in the wind, and his hands were not even a little wet.

Father Tang Yi looked at his finger and shook his head and said, "It seems that there has been no snow here for at least a month!" That's not a good thing! ”

If there is more snow, the snow will cool down after the initial warmth, and the snow surface will form an ice shell, then the livestock will not only not be able to eat grass, but also be easily scratched by the ice shell, which will cause the cattle and sheep population to freeze and starve to death, which is called the white plague.

If there is little or no snow in winter, the livestock will lack water, the epidemic will be epidemic, the fat will decline, the mother will be aborted, and even the phenomenon of a large number of livestock will die is called the black plague, both of which will lead to the great loss of the Huns! And now there seem to be signs of a black plague.

"It's dry now, and there's no snow! Now it depends on the abundance of hay prepared by the tribe in the autumn! If there is enough hay, they might be able to make it through! If it's not enough, the tribe will be wiped out! Tangyi's father had a sad face, as if he recalled his life when he was grazing in the Xiongnu.

"Good! Now that their young men have gone out to intercept us! Then we'll visit their tribe! Li You finally showed a smile; For example, today's dry things are most afraid of fire! And hay is very easy to catch fire, so I will take people to visit one tribe after another, burn their hay, and see if they will go back to guard against our attack or stay stuck in the road!
