Only those who have gone through death can understand the preciousness of life, but it is also because they know death that they are no longer so afraid.

The men quickly slaughtered the people of this tribe, and the old men who had no ability to resist sat on their knees and could see clearly from beginning to end.

They were all old women, but they were not afraid of this situation.

The soldier in charge of guarding the old women asked them why they didn't hide, didn't close their eyes, and watched.

This was a provocative remark, but one of the old women said slowly with an unchanged expression when she heard this: "I probably did the same when I kidnapped you Wei Bianmin back then, but now that the retribution has come to us, we are afraid, there is no reason."

When the old woman heard this, she glanced at Gao Huan and these people, they should have been soldiers who had experienced a hundred battles, but except for the main general, they all looked immature and thin, and they obviously came here by mistake.

After the old woman finished speaking, the soldier was about to give her some colors, but was stopped by Gao Huan.

Gao Huan stepped forward and looked at the old woman who spoke extraordinarily.

Gao Huan was thinking to himself, and Li Zhi behind him spoke, "Her name is Wuyan Clan, and her reputation in the tribe is not low."

After listening to Li Zhi's explanation, Gao Huan's judgment of the old woman's identity became clearer.

The old woman's words couldn't arouse Gao Huan's anger, but she gained momentum and lost power. And now that the initiative is in Gao Huan's hands, he has many directions to choose from.

When Gao Huan spoke, there were not many Rouran people left who were killed.

Gao Huan said with a smile: "Rouran is really heroic."

This was already a high evaluation, and the old woman didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

When the old woman heard this, she said, "The young general from the Wei Kingdom has come here, and I am afraid that he is ready to sacrifice his life for the country."

Gao Huan nodded: "Lord Yama has persuaded him to come back after seeing him twice, probably just to wait for this opportunity."

Gao Huan knew that there was no reliable news from the old woman's mouth, so Gao Huan didn't say much to her after that.

After this, Gao Huan ordered the tribe to gather together the supplies that could be found, and the soldiers who were already hungry could no longer hold back after seeing the jerky.

Gao Huan didn't plan to leave anything for these people, especially after knowing the identity of the old woman.

Although they have limited mobility, they will definitely find a way to spread the news, and just in case, Gao Huan also chooses to let God decide whether they can live or not.

Gao Huan drove the few remaining old women into the desert with Li Zhi's children, and when the eastern sky was slightly bright, Li Zhi followed behind Gao Huan and the others, watching the group limp into the grassland.

The young child didn't understand why his mother abandoned him, and Li Zhi himself was very sad.

But even so, Li Zhi didn't say another word throughout the whole process, and she made a decision.

The food hoarded in the tribe was enough for Gao Huan's four hundred people to eat for several months, but they couldn't carry too much, so Gao Huan ordered to carry only half a month's food, and the rest of the supplies, including tents, were discarded in place.

Li Zhi is not an ordinary woman, she has far more information than Gao Huan thinks.

From Li Zhikou, Gao Huan learned that the place where they were at the moment was about six hundred miles southwest of the Rouran Royal Court.

It doesn't sound like a long distance, but there are a lot of tribes and tribes on the way.

Most of the Rouran people live in groups, and they rarely have the habit of building cities, but there are two cities on the way to the Rouran royal court.

One of them, called Gerenda, is an important place for the transfer of materials from the north and south of Rouran, and now it is an important place for Rouran to transfer materials to the front line.

Gerenda is not too far away from Gao Huanbu's current distance, just over a hundred miles to the northeast.

Li Zhi said that because of Gerenda's extremely important strategic location, ordinary caravans were no longer allowed to approach, let alone enter the city to rest, unless there was an edict issued by the khan himself.

In addition, Gao Huan also asked Li Zhi about the recruitment of troops in the Rouran Royal Court.

Before that, there was already a large army gathered by Rouran in the border area of Great Wei, that's it

After spending a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, now in a way that is almost exhausted, it is difficult to want to have an endless battle with Dawei.

Li Zhi also gave his own guess on this, a small tribe like theirs would only recruit ordinary men at most in previous years, and although there were not many left, it was enough to protect the safety of the tribe and daily production and life.

And this year's two conscriptions, the second time was to directly transfer all the men, Li Zhi thought that first, the situation in the north was very good, and Rouran wanted to take this opportunity to get closer, and on the other hand, the situation in the border area was not good, and Rouran wanted to give it a go.

But compared with the two, the former is the most likely, and Gao Huan's thoughts are more inclined to the first one.

Therefore, according to this, Gao Huan speculated that now Rouran's entire rear was in a situation of insufficient troops, and even the resistance that those larger tribes could accumulate would be extremely limited, and his team of four hundred people might still be able to exert a lot of strength.

In this way, these 400 people are united in their hearts, and they have long put life and death aside, so everyone will not stop without killing some Rouran people.

It's just that with this speculation, the situation of Great Wei in the border areas is becoming more and more unsatisfactory.

Gao Huan wanted to know how the border war was going now, so he wanted to make some big moves in the rear.

Later that night, the soldiers were busy eating and resting.

And Gao Huan began to conceive of the map of the big rear in his mind in the second half of the night, and where they could go next.

If you want to take down the Rouran Royal Court with a big bite, this is too whimsical, but if it is for Gerenda, it may be a way to deal with Rouran's grain and grass transfer, and now absolutely no one on the grassland will know that they are not only alive, but also have many people left.

Gao Huan thought so, and soon felt that this method was also feasible, and Gao Huan took all aspects into consideration.

Gao Huan has been unable to sleep all night these days, and many times he will unconsciously think of Hua Manlou.

Hey, dead, just dead.

Hua Manlou actually doesn't have a big vision, his vision is to follow Gao Huan to make contributions.

As a marching Sima Huamanlou, he is very competent, so that now without him, Gao Huan is a little uncomfortable.

They were all registered with Hades, but it was said that Hades later accepted the flowers.

Hua Manting's ashes and the ashes of the brothers who could still be collected at that time were all together and put in a jar, Gao Huan thought that he would take them to Gerenda for a walk anyway and help them kill two more people.

It's a pity that there is no wine tonight, and there is no one.

And the reunion with the old man can probably only be in a dream.

On the morning of the second day, Gao Huan still got up early in the morning as usual.

And today, it is rare for the conditions to allow, and the rough man is not rough, and he washes his face, which is no longer presentable.

Although it was only one night of rest, but with the previous night, everyone's mental outlook has changed a lot, although the body is still thin from hunger, but everyone's eyes are no longer blank.

Regarding the direction of travel, Gao Huan followed Li Zhi's suggestion, but Gao Huan still left a hand and did not fully follow Li Zhi's intentions.

For some unnecessary troubles and accidents, Gao Huan began to send scouts to inspect the Quartet since he left.

Only a few of the remaining people used to specialize in scouting, but now there was no way, Gao Huan could only let them take four or five people with each of them.

The distance from Grenda can actually be reached in a few days at most, and because the steppe march is too dangerous during the day, Gao Huan decided to slow down the advance of the army during the day, and then hurry up when the night comes.

According to Gao Huan's request, the army initially headed to the east due north.

Indeed, as Li Zhi said, there are many large and small tribes here, so all actions must be cautious and cautious.

Such a large army marched less than thirty miles until noon, but the journey was uneventful, and the scouts reported that there were occasional small groups of men and horses passing by, but none of them came in the direction where they were.

At noon, after the whole army marched to a small hill with a slightly higher terrain, Gao Huan ordered to rest here.

Slightly higher terrain can be used as a shield and a better line of sight.

It could be seen that Li Zhi did not ride a horse very often, so the morning march had already made her double straddle feel like it was being torn.

During the break, Gao Huan asked her how she was doing, and Li Zhi gritted her teeth and nodded.

In Gao Huan's eyes, Li Zhi is an unusual girl, and for some reason, Gao Huan always feels that Li Zhi can really return to Yuanwang City in Nanhu County.

At noon, it was relatively uneventful, and nothing happened.

In the afternoon, Gao Huanbu continued to hurry, probably the same as in the morning.

I don't know if it's because the men of the tribes have been transferred, the back of the grassland is a little too quiet.

After walking all the way to the night, it was still as calm as ever, but Gao Huan was more cautious because of this.

There must be a demon when something goes wrong, not to mention that Gao Huan doesn't know much about what happened.

At night, Gao Huan's troops also had a short rest and continued to march, the moonlight on the grassland tonight was translucent, but the darkness on the ground was terrible, and the area that could be seen by the moonlight was also limited.

After nightfall, the speed of Gao Huan's troops increased, and the direction of the march also changed, and according to their current position, Gerenda should be directly east of them.

However, Gao Huan's troops had not marched for long, and someone from the group who went north immediately brought back news that there was a team of dozens of people in the north of the army that was rapidly rushing towards this side.

When Gao Huan heard this, he immediately ordered the whole army to retreat on the spot and be on guard.

Because it was not far away when the news reached Gao Huan's ears, only a quarter of an hour after Gao Huan made the arrangement, a team of dozens of people rushed out of the night in the north.

Although the faces of the people were not clear, the sound of horses' hooves was especially noticeable in the night.

Soon, those people and Gao Huan and the others were only two or three miles together, and these people were still holding torches, so Gao Huan and the others saw it at a glance. And looking at the direction of travel, it seems that these people are also heading towards Grenda.

Gao Huan couldn't see through the purpose of these people for a while, but he didn't want to give up such a good opportunity to get news, so after thinking about it a little, he planned to bring dozens of people to follow the group of people in front, and Li Zhi was also taken by Gao Huan.

Gao Huan ordered the men and horses in the rear to follow, and a distance of about twenty miles could be freed up for buffering and responding.

The group of unidentified Rouran people in front of them were hurrying fast, and there seemed to be something urgent.

Therefore, the two sides galloped on the road, and rushed to the city of Grenda before the sky was bright on the second day.

It is said to be a city, but it is actually a large stone fort built with stones.

The walls are not high, and the thickness is average, so if it is placed behind the real battlefield, it will not be possible to take the city in one turn.

Gao Huan also wanted to have this feat, but unfortunately he had a limited number of people, and he didn't know what the troops in the city were like.

Although the city wall of this Gerenda is not very good, it is big enough, there is enough grain and grass that can be placed here, and it is also very convenient to transfer to the front line.

Gao Huan led dozens of people to see those people in front of them arrive at the city, and the first one shouted under the city, "The guard of Gerenda is like a shameless person, quickly open the door."

After drinking so high, I saw that there was a quick response from the city.

Surrounded by torches, one of them answered, "Who is there to enter the city with the Khan's edict?"

"No, but you won't know the identity of Ah Ling."

As he spoke, the man brought the torch closer to the other person on the side, and the defenders on the tower saw a woman's face under the black robe.

"I've heard of the general."
