On the eighth day of the first lunar month, it was another good weather.

Outside the Yangquchuan camp, an altar rose from the ground, and Gao Huan and Erzhu Zhao swore an oath on the altar and became incense brothers.

"If the covenant is violated, He Liuhun is willing to suffer the curse of heaven, and his descendants will be cut off."

Gao Cheng, who was standing under the stage, heard the two people on the stage swearing loudly, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

He turned his head to look at his cousin Duan Shao:

"Is this something that can be said?"

The scene was a little awkward.

Immediately, he grinned again:

"Hmm~ why don't you count."

Duan Shao didn't know how to answer, so he simply pretended not to hear.

After the New Year, Duan Shao was already seventeen.

On this expedition, he pleaded with his uncle Gao Huan to join the army.

Out of love, Gao Huan appointed Duan Shao as the governor of his cronies and commanded his personal guards, and one of the important tasks was to take care of Gao Cheng.

Gao Huan's father and son coaxed Lou Zhaojun after all.

Perhaps full of confidence in this battle, Gao Huan granted Gao Cheng's request to be with him on the battlefield.

is about to go to the battlefield, Gao Cheng is a little nervous, otherwise he will not be speechless.

He took the trouble to caress his horse's mane in an attempt to divert attention.

This is a three-year-old black river meandering horse, who has been with him for half a year and has a docile temperament.

"It's time to go."

Duan Shao reminded softly.

Gao Cheng woke up, and when he looked up, he saw his father Gao Huan coming.

"Nervous?"

"It's fine."

"In the future, I will experience more wars, and I will get used to it."

Gao Cheng snorted.

"Summons Dou Tai and tells him to leave."

As soon as the military order was given, the army was set up one after another.

Dou Tai led the cavalry as the front army, which was different from the galloping horses in the TV series, and the cavalry of the front army led the horses.

Unless horses are abundant and there are special circumstances, few armies will march on war horses, and they really want to waste their horsepower on the way, and when they get to the battlefield, how can they fight.

Gao Huan is really short of horses.

In addition to the mounts of generals, heralds, and scouts, Gao Huan transferred all the horses of the whole army to the various units of the front army led by Dou Tai, and he only managed to get together a thousand horses.

War horses are more expensive than human lives, otherwise Gao Huan would not have risked breaking with the Erzhu clan in advance in the future and snatched 300 war horses from Erzhurong's widow.

Gao Huan personally led the Chinese army, and the rear army was led by Duan Rong.

Compared with the Jinzhou army in the north, only the headquarters of Lou Zhao and the six towns that were accepted yesterday were separated to stay in the Yangquchuan camp.

Gao Huan does have the intention of choosing to demote people to the young, but not now.

At least not under Erzhu Zhao's nose.

A good wife and a minotaur are two different things.

Each of the three armies had inferior horse-drawn armor and other materials.

Just as it is not possible to consume horsepower when marching on horseback, the same is true for people.

Duan Shao led the guards to accompany Gao Huan's father and son, and even Gao Huan took the lead on foot.

On the east bank of Fenshui, Gao Huan and Erzhu Zhao's armies marched hand in hand, heading south to Leping County.

Leping County is located in the east of Jinyang, the two are adjacent, although Gao Huan and Erzhu Zhao's combined army is not fast, but after all, before dark into the Leping territory, each set up camp.

Er Zhuzhao was not short of horses, but considering the marching speed of Gao Huan's army, he could only walk slowly.

You can't let your army rush to Leping to consume with the thieves first, and then let Gao Huan harvest calmly.

As for asking him to send some war horses over, it was more uncomfortable than asking for Zhu Zhao's life.

The most important thing for Er Zhuzhao is to defeat the thieves in Hexi, and it doesn't matter whether Leping County will be captured by the thieves.

If the Hexi thieves heard the wind and fled, it would be better, and the soldiers would win a battle without bloodshed.

After all, in this era, gifts and expulsion are often synonymous.

Gao Huan was very careful, and scattered the scouts out twenty miles.

The scout team led by Xue Hu'er was one of them.

This area of exploration can encounter enemy scouts at any time, which is considered a dangerous zone.

"They all polished their eyes, and when they encounter thieves and scouts, they will kill when there are few people, and they will leave when there are many people, and they will be able to get away with one person."

In the dense forest, Xue Hu'er cautioned.

"Got it, Xue Tou."

"It's not the first day on the battlefield, Xue Tou doesn't have to chatter."

Xue Hu'er didn't say much, only said that when the hour came, he would go back to this forest to meet, and immediately arranged a group of two, a total of five groups led their horses and dispersed.

Walking with Xue Hu'er was his Xiaozhang Mo in Huaishuo Town.

After walking away a short time, Xue Hu'er suddenly spoke:

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Whatever."

"Since you came out of Jinju, you have been absent-minded, and you have seen me several times when you want to speak and stop, and now that there is no one else, you can say anything directly."

"Hmm...... It is, it is. ”

Zhang Mo stood up and said with a red face:

"Xue Tou, look, your little sister is also old, and I am not too young, that is, see if you can ......"

"Stinky boy, I knew you were thinking about my sister."

Xue Hu'er scolded with a smile:

"It's useless for you to ask me about this, wait until you go back and ask my sister-in-law."

"I asked, she said that her parents are not there, and the eldest brother is the father, let me ask you."

Xue Hu'er still doesn't understand this, this kid must be on good terms with his little sister silently, he glared at Zhang Mo fiercely:

"When did you do it?"

"What's the start? Yes! No, there really isn't ......."

"Okay, cheer up, it's really a plot, how can you have the life to talk about marriage again."

As soon as he heard Xue Hu'er say the word marriage, Zhang Mo knew that he had agreed to this family business, and responded with a smile:

"Okay!"

Along the way, Zhang Mo was full of energy and a little overexcited.

The two of them probed carefully, but they did not encounter the enemy sentry horse.

Estimating that the time was almost up, he went back on horseback, and one person went into the forest to meet, and the other waited outside.

The meeting is to check if there are any missing people, as well as traffic news.

Leaving one person outside can not only watch the wind, but also ensure that even if someone is captured and the location of the meeting is revealed, it will not be caught in the net.

Xue Hu'er only saw three people in the forest, and one group did not come back.

"Wait a quarter of an hour, and if you don't come back, we'll leave immediately."

Xue Hu'er squatted down and asked the other three:

"Have you ever met a thief?"

All three shook their heads.

At that moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard outside.

"Xue Tou, I found that the thief sentry is riding."

A group of people who had been scouting the southwest direction had finally returned.

"How many people? Where is it? ”

Xue Hu'er asked while checking whether the person who came had any new injuries.

"Just six, five miles to the southwest."

"Not found?"

"Nope."

Confirming that the other party had no new injuries, Xue Hu'er let out a sigh of relief, and he asked the other five people who were on guard outside the forest to be called back.

"How, do you want to do it?"

Xue Hu'er asked in a deep voice.

"! There are only six people on the other side, what are you afraid of. ”

Someone was clamoring for a move.

"How many horses do they have?"

There are also people who want to know the number of horses on the other side.

"Six men, six horses."

The person who told the news was very sure.

"Xue Tou, let's do it."

Everyone asked for battle.

"Good! Zhang Mo, you go back to report the news and tell the military lord that there are sentinels in the southwest. ”

Xue Hu'er gave an order to Zhang Mo, and then turned his head to the person who reported the news:

"Lead the way, and we will set off at once, lest the six horses slip away."

Everyone laughed.
