Chapter 114: The Horse Thief
Because of the large number of unexpected gifts they carried, the whole team seemed to be bloated, and the speed of progress naturally slowed down.
Looking at the long line of lines winding forward, Xu Haifeng frowned slightly and asked, "Master Strategist, why do you say that the Huns have not moved yet?" If they don't do anything, I'm afraid it's too late. ”
Jiang Kongming glanced at him and said: "Why is the lord so anxious, in a few moments, we will reach the border, that is the most sensitive area between the Han and the Xiongnu, the garrisons on both sides do not dare to act there on a large scale, so as to cause horse thieves to run rampant, if the students are not mistaken, we should meet the Huns there." ”
At this time, Xu Haifeng was very different from before, and when he heard it, he immediately understood the meaning, and asked with a smile: "Are you saying that the Huns will pretend to be horse thieves and attack the team of the Han envoys?" ”
"Exactly." Jiang Kongming's tone contained an unquestionable affirmation.
"Horse thief?" Xu Haifeng was angry and funny: "If my Black Flag Army will be wiped out by a group of horse thieves, then I will simply touch my neck and do it." Do you say that the Father-in-law will believe it? ”
Indeed, with the combat effectiveness of the Black Flag Army, as long as they have a little brain, they will not believe that they will be exterminated by a group of horse thieves who only know how to commit crimes and rabble. If the courtiers of the Great Han are expected to believe this, unless they collectively become stupid idiots plus three levels overnight.
"What if you don't believe it? If the Huns did not leave any evidence or evidence, do you think that the Han court would go to war with the Huns for us? Jiang Kongming sneered.
Xu Haifeng sighed: "Yes, for the whole country, we are just a chess piece, since the emperor is even willing to give up his own daughter, then why can't we give it up." ”
Speaking of this, Xu Haifeng paused, raised his eyes to look into the distance, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was feeling some kind of mysterious aura in the air.
After a while, he smiled and said, "What the military advisor said, I already feel that danger is coming from afar. ”
Jiang Kongming's eyes were full of yearning and fanaticism when he looked at Xu Haifeng, which made him shudder, swallowed and foamed, Xu Haifeng squeezed out a smile with difficulty, and asked, "What do you have to do?" ”
"The lord's sixth sense is really unusually developed, since even you can practice successfully, why do students practice martial arts but never get results? Is...... Alas, God is unfair. Jiang Kongming shook his head and sighed.
What does it mean that even I can cultivate successfully, is my qualification very poor? Xu Haifeng glared at him secretly, and the prime minister of the heart said that he could hold the boat in his belly, so he didn't care about this madman.
He stepped forward and turned around and shouted, "Master Strategist, I'll go and talk to Su Shilang and the two adults about the contingency matter, and the specific affairs will be handled by you." ”
Jiang Kongming arched his hand and said, "The student obeys." ”
Xu Haifeng drove his horse to the head of the team, Su Chunwei and the other three were really here, and when they saw Xu Haifeng, Su Chunwei hurriedly said: "General Xu, you see that the team is walking so slowly, at this speed, when will we be able to return to Kyoto?" ”
Since he heard that the Xiongnu were going to join forces with Caesar to attack the Han Dynasty, he was immediately anxious, and he couldn't wait to reach Kyoto as soon as possible, and let His Majesty make sure that the Han Dynasty was ready for everything.
It's just that many of the gifts given by the Huns are extremely valuable pottery of the previous generation, which is quite large and extremely easy to break.
What's more, these things are all tribute, even if Su Chunwei has the courage, he doesn't dare to damage one easily, let alone abandon it on the spot.
can't blame him for being pedantic, it's just that he was born into a family, and he has far more concerns than ordinary people. In this mood of suffering from gains and losses, I lost the decision to go forward.
In fact, he also thought of sending a confidant family member back to Beijing to report the matter to his father. But this matter is too much to do, and if half a point is leaked, no matter what the truth is, the safety of their lives will be extremely suspenseful. It was a matter of hesitation, and finally gave up.
Xu Haifeng knew his heart well, and said with a smile: "Lord Su, since the Huns have given so many things, they can't be as fast as they want." ”
Liu Junshu heard the conversation between the two on the side, looked around, and no one paid attention to them except for the slowly moving convoy, so he said softly: "General Xu, is the news you got wrong?" Since the Huns have given such a generous gift, they may not necessarily offend my Han. ”
Before Xu and Su could speak, Jin Guanghua retorted: "The general doesn't know, the Huns don't produce, they make a living from animal husbandry and hunting, and every autumn they lead their troops to Kouguan and plunder in the territory of our Han Dynasty and return." With such wolf ambitions, how can you not be greedy for the Huahua world in the Central Plains, I think the disappearance of the little princess is also behind their backs. ”
Xu Haifeng glanced at him, and he couldn't see that this rough man's imagination was really rich.
Su Chunwei's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, this official has long doubted whether there is really someone in the world who can snatch the little princess away under the heavy guard of the Golden Wolf Army." If, as General Xu said, the Huns had decided to unite with Caesar to divide the territory of our Han Dynasty, then all this would be explained. ”
Liu Junshu's face changed several times, and finally sighed: "Poor little princess, isn't it really in the mouth of the tiger now, the hateful Huns and Caesar, and the last general will not stand with them." ”
Xu Haifeng raised his head and asked the sky speechlessly......
He was still a little worried about whether anyone would be able to see the mystery after he went back, but he didn't expect that no one had returned, and these three guys had already given him the best answer by pretending to be smart.
"General Xu, what do you think?" Su Chunwei asked.
Xu Haifeng immediately made a furious gesture of righteous indignation, and said loudly: "It turns out that this is the case, these bad embryos who should kill a thousand knives, they met on the battlefield later, and Xu vowed to take revenge." ”
"Shh......h Silence. Su Chunwei's face changed in fright, and he hurriedly stopped in a low voice: "General Xu, this matter must not be made public." ”
"Yes, the Admiral was reckless." Xu Haifeng bowed his head and humbly was taught.
Su Chunwei and the other three looked around and found that those Black Flag Army soldiers only knew how to hurry, but they had never looked here at all. I was happy and surprised in my heart, I was glad that their conversation did not attract anyone's attention, and I was shocked that the Black Flag Army was extremely strict in military discipline and military discipline.
"By the way, there are a few people to discuss in the future." Xu Haifeng waited for the three of them to retract their gaze before speaking slowly.
"What's the matter?" Su Chunwei asked.
"According to the report from the spies, a large group of men and horses have been found nearby, and it seems that their target is our envoy group." Xu Haifeng said with a smile.
"What......?" Su Chunwei's heart that he had just put down raised his throat again.
"How many people are there? How is the combat power? Jin Guanghua behaved differently, and as soon as he heard that there was about to be a battle, his eyes immediately lit up, and his tone became excited.
In the past few years, the northern Xinjiang has been peaceful, and every autumn when the Xiongnu ravaged the Han border, the northern battalion was ordered to hold on and not to fight without authorization, because he had not been on the battlefield for a long time, and his hands and feet were almost rusty.
Xu Haifeng shook his head and said indifferently: "I don't know." ”
"Don't know?" The three of them shouted out together, but Jin Guanghua was the loudest among them.
"Yes, it is said that there are several horse thieves flowing around the border, such a rabble, you don't have to take it seriously." Xu Haifeng said casually, but his tone naturally revealed a strong self-confidence.
The three of them gave birth to a strange feeling at the same time that Xu Haifeng said this, then he must be able to do it.
"This ...... It seems that you should be careful about this. Su Chunwei said hesitantly.
"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, this truth will be known in the end, but if the opponent is only a group of horse thieves, and we make such a fuss, won't it make people laugh at my incompetence of the Black Flag Army?" Xu Haifeng said proudly.
Hearing him say this, the three of them were embarrassed to say anything more, otherwise they would not have become the Black Flag Army that looked down on him. In fact, although the Black Flag Army had never fought in front of them, everyone knew that this force should not be underestimated based on the performance of this march. What's more, there are also unparalleled brave people in the world like Qin Yong.
Thinking of this, the hearts of the three of them were a little settled, but they couldn't help but have some criticism about Xu Haifeng's trust.
Jin Guanghua hesitated again and again, and finally persuaded: "General Xu, I have also heard from Commander Fang that the Black Flag Army is so powerful that it is invincible in the world, but the horse thieves on the border are different from the horse thieves in the mainland. They are unusually fierce and ruthless, and our team is stretched too wide, so we should tighten up a little, so that we can be like an arm commander when we are adapting to reduce unnecessary losses. ”
Xu Haifeng smiled at him and said, "Don't worry, I have a reason." ”
Strange to say, seeing Xu Haifeng's hearty smile, Jin Guanghua's heart calmed down inexplicably.
He didn't know that Xu Haifeng had already used his spiritual power just now, and the three of them were already in his spiritual force field, and they were affected by his spiritual power, so they believed Xu Haifeng so easily.
"Everyone has a good rest here, and when the last general has defeated the enemy, come and meet a few of them." Xu Haifeng freely clenched his fists and turned away.
After a while, several carts came to them under the escort of two hundred forbidden troops, and a hundred commanders announced: "General Liu, I will come here and wait for the dispatch." ”
Liu Junshuqi said: "What do I want you to do?" When facing the enemy, there are two masters of the most jealous army, and we are all waiting for General Xu to send us on this trip, what do you want me to do. ”
The general's face was shocked, and he muttered, "However, it was General Xu who let us come." ”
Liu Junshu was about to speak, Jin Guanghua suddenly stretched out his hand, jumped off the horse, fell to the ground, put his ear on the ground, and after a while, he raised his head and said, "It's coming......"
