After a night's rest, his subordinates also recovered some strength, but in the face of the unknown enemy in front of him, Gao Huan still ordered the whole army to temporarily retreat and hide, waiting for an opportunity to move.

Twice in danger, twice on the edge of hell. Now, the remaining people in their early 400s, including Gao Huan himself, put life and death out of the way, because they are already people who have crossed four times twice.

Even if he really died this time, Lord Yama would not be thin on them.

In order for his subordinates to better recuperate, Gao Huan took the initiative to take on the important task of inspecting the enemy's situation.

The tribe in front of them was actually not very large, and it was estimated that there were no more than seven or eight hundred people up and down.

Of course, this number is only Gao Huan's prediction, but in fact, it is far from these.

On the night of the second day, in order to confirm the idea in his heart, Gao Huan took five people to follow him and took advantage of the night to investigate.

After about a day and a night of observation, Gao Huan found that there were really no men in this unknown tribe.

Although Gao Huan didn't know what was happening, if the news was true, they could even attack directly without waiting.

Of course, it is also possible that the tribe knew in advance that they would appear and deliberately lured them, but this possibility is really minimal.

At night, the tribe ahead was quiet and fast.

Before the end of the day, there were not many bright tents, and Gao Huan and the others took advantage of the darkness of the night to get closer step by step.

In the middle of the tribal camp, you can occasionally see a few bonfires that are burning, and there are three taels of soft women gathered around the bonfire, saying words that Gao Huan they don't understand.

Soon, a group of several people turned around the tribal camp, and not only were there no men, but even horses were pitiful.

For a while, Gao Huan inevitably fell into hesitation, it was difficult for him to deduce such a possibility, but this kind of opportunity could not be missed because of this.

Soon, Gao Huan returned with a few people.

The news that there were no men in the camp ahead spread quickly, which was a great thing for everyone.

Gao Huan was not in a hurry, but ordered the troops to be reorganized on the spot, and he planned to wait until late at night before dispatching.

Gao Huan stood on the top of the sand dune, because of hunger, he himself now had protruding cheekbones, and he was so thin that he no longer looked good.

He looked at the young soldiers in front of him, and their faces were also blown dry by the wind and sand, and the already thin figure became even thinner.

Gao Huan looked at it, almost all of them were unfamiliar faces, and there were not many veterans left who followed him from birth to death.

Gao Huan knew that some veterans died because they gave these young children the hope of life.

Gao Huan still remembered that before he met the oasis, a middle-aged man named Sun Fulai gave the only remaining water and food to other young people.

At first, the young man refused, but before he could say a word, he was greeted by Sun Laifu with a slap.

"We're still here, and even if we serve the country, it's not your turn."

These were the last words of Sun Fu's words.

After he finished speaking, he broke away from the large group, waved goodbye to the large army in the rear of the yellow sand, and chose to wait for death alone.

In this situation, there will still be some soft-heartedness, but fortunately, now there is an opportunity to make a contribution.

In the middle of the moon and after the ugly hour, the lights in the tents in the camp ahead were extinguished, and it seemed that they had slept peacefully.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Gao Huan raised his hand and made an offensive deployment.

Facing a tribe of seven or eight hundred people, Gao Huan's four hundred people are still very easy to deal with, not to mention that this tribe has no combat effectiveness.

Therefore, less than half an hour later, the old and young women and children who were sleeping peacefully were collectively driven to a clearing in the tribal camp by Gao Huan's men.

But the number of people in the tribe was far less than Gao Huan expected, and after counting, the total number of old, young, women and children was only 316.

After seeing the thinly dressed but fierce Wei army, those Rouran women all protected their young children in their arms, and those who knew the time

Not many old people stood on the outskirts.

Looking at the distribution of personnel, Gao Huan could see that this small tribe was not simple, if it weren't for the lack of combatants, they wouldn't have been taken down so easily.

Catching these people was not the main purpose of Gao Huan's operation, Gao Huan came to borrow the supplies of this tribe to rest simply, and the brothers were starving.

Second, Gao Huan is now desperate to know where these people are.

Fortunately, there were still a few people under his command who could speak softly, so they conveyed Gao Huan's words to the trembling Rouran people.

To the surprise of Gao Huan and others, five of these women and children could speak fluent Han dialect, and later after some inquiry, they learned that they had been abducted by the Rouran people many years ago.

The wind and sun on the grassland are the least difficult to leave a blush, so when she was still a twenty-eight-year-old girl, now the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes have faintly emerged.

After investigation, Gao Huan determined that these people were all from the Wei border area, close to Hexi.

In the hinterland of Rouran, in fact, the five girls never hoped to see anyone from their hometown again in their lifetimes, but now God has given them such a big surprise.

Although the girls didn't know that Gao Huan was now famous in the army, they knew that Gao Huan was definitely not an ordinary person who could come here.

Gao Huan asked a few people why there were no men in the tribe, and they replied that they had been transferred more than a month ago, and they had been mobilized to the front line along with the war horses.

Gao Huan asked again if every tribe on the grassland was like this, and several girls didn't dare to be sure anymore.

However, one of the girls still boldly guessed that since it was mobilized, and even small tribes like them had to come out, there was no reason why those big tribes would not come out alone.

Gao Huan thought about it and felt that this was very right.

After that, Gao Huan asked again, where is this place in the grassland.

One of them, a girl who had followed a tribal caravan through the grassland, said that the tribe's name was Shahu, and it was in the northern hinterland of the grassland.

Gao Huan asked how far this place was from the Rouran Royal Court, and the girl replied again, it was less than three hundred miles, because she had been there.

Gao Huan began to ponder when he heard this, and after a while, he looked at the girl who had been answering, and there was nothing superfluous, and he ended her life with a knife.

Seeing this, his subordinates were puzzled and asked, "General Gao, why did you kill her?"

Of course, this is not a question, but a question. Because they know that, especially at this time, General Gao will not kill people easily.

After his men spoke, Gao Huan said, "Do you remember the approximate location when we first entered the desert? Not thousands of miles, but far away. Moreover, our original direction was not all the way to the north, and even if we marched fast, we would not be almost to the Rouran Royal Court now. I don't know what this man's intentions are, but if we do what he says, our own death will not be far off."

After Gao Huan finished analyzing, the people who were still eager to try it stopped talking.

Of the four, only one bowed his head in contemplation, as if he had something to say.

And Gao Huan also happened to notice her strange behavior.

After a while, the woman looked at Gao Huan, and Gao Huan's eyes happened to be on her, and when the two met their eyes, the woman did not retreat at all, she knelt down in front of Gao Huan and cried, "General, I am the only one who has been taken captive."

With the experience of the past, Gao Huan didn't speak this time, and his subordinates stepped forward first and asked, "You said that you were taken captive, how can you prove it?" I just can't prove it to anyone else."

Gao Huan also meant the same thing, so after his subordinates finished speaking, he also looked at the woman.

When the woman heard this, not only did she not panic, but slowly took out a piece of silk silk that had been around for some years from her arms.

When he saw something at a glance, Gao Huan knew that it was not something that Rouran could have, but he couldn't prove the identity of a woman.

The woman then slowly presented the silk silk to Gao Huan, "General, the little woman's real name is Li Zhi, and she lives in Yuanwang City, Nanhu County. When I went north with my father to do business, I was intercepted by the Rouran people who suddenly went south on the way to Wuwei County, and later separated from my father, and I still don't know my father's whereabouts.

Gao Huan actually thought about it in his heart when he heard this, and it was a year when the old emperor was still in power.

Although this matter is not a secret, it is obviously not easy for an ordinary Rouran woman to pay attention to it.

And when Gao Huan opened the silk silk handed over by Li Zhi, he finally stopped doubting it.

The silk silk is engraved with the seals of various counties and counties, which is obviously not something that ordinary people can get, especially on a silk silk.

Li Zhi then explained: "My father was afraid that there would be an accident, so he spent a lot of money on the road as he wished, and I have kept this silk silk to this day."

Gao Huan heard how sorry it was to look at Li Zhi again, "How many years have you been here?"

Li Zhi said: "After the Dragon Boat Festival in May this year, it will be five years."

"I think it's not unusual for the girl's family to be in Nanhu County, there haven't been any major accidents in Yuanwang City in Nanhu County over the years, so the girl's father may not have any accidents, but he has been worried about your safety. How have you been here?"

Gao Huan's words at the beginning touched Li Zhi, but the last sentence completely tore through her psychological defense.

Li Zhi looked around, his eyes became angry and indifferent, and he did so for a long time.

Probably because he has suffered too much over the years, even if he investigates them one by one, it is meaningless, so after a while, Li Zhi's expression calmed down again, and it was not until a tiger-brained child behind him called his mother, and Li Zhi softened.

"This is what I taught her, and the knowledge of Rouran Barbarian is not as good as my Great Wei."

Gao Huan nodded when he saw this, while Li Zhi picked up the child with his backhand.

"Have you fled now?" Gao Huan asked. It was also because he knew that Li Zhi had infinite grievances in his heart, so Gao Huan didn't ask too much.

Li Zhi said, "I thought about it a few years ago, but then I was caught and beaten too hard because I escaped, and I didn't think about it in the future. I haven't seen the peach blossoms bloom in my hometown for many years."

After all, another country is not a hometown, and it has been for many years.

So in the end, Li Zhi looked up at Gao Huan and cautiously asked, "Can the general take me back to Great Wei?"

Gao Huan heard this and said, "Don't hide it, Miss Li, we people also came here after nine deaths. We had more than 4,000 men when we left the army, and now there are only 400 left. In fact, the lives of our people are already in the grassland, so we are planning to go to the Rouran Royal Court, and if we are lucky enough to kill one or two people before leaving, it will not be in vain for us to come here."

"The general took me, and Li Zhi's life was handed over to heaven."

"Can you think about it?"

"I've figured it out."

"And what about this kid?" Gao Huan asked again.

Speaking of this, Li Zhi's tears flowed out at once, and she looked at her child, although she was a Rouran person, she was still her own child.

Li Zhi really wanted to bring the child back, but she knew that even if she brought it back, the child's future would not end well.

Li Zhi sobbed slightly, "He can only stay here, even if he returns to Nanhu County, he won't be welcomed."

For Rouran, the hatred in Li Zhi's heart is greater than the love for the child in front of him.

Subsequently, the other three women also died.

It is clear that these people are not ordinary people who can react so quickly, so they cannot be retained.

And this time, Gao Huan didn't intend to be so merciful as before, he ordered to leave behind a few old people with limited mobility, and the rest of the women and children were killed together.

This is not a simple tribe, and there will be great hidden dangers in keeping these women and children.

This night, there was another massacre on the grassland, which was done by Gao Huan, who was regarded by everyone as dead.
