Just when Yang Chuan took Sister Leopard, Silly Eagle and three hundred teenagers to 'pretend to be ghosts' and build a military village in the area of Rouge Mountain, Huo Quai, who was eight hundred miles away, was furious.

Here he met a man.

Guo Jie.

This former ranger in Guanzhong now looks very depressed, his clothes are ragged, unkempt, his whole person seems to have been drained, and the pale hair on his sideburns is also very dazzling.

"Guo Jie, tell me in detail, what's going on?"

In the tent, Huo Quzhi carried a kettle made for him by Yang Chuan himself, and drank a few big sips, but he still couldn't suppress the fire in his heart.

Cao Xiang also had a gloomy face, but his mood was quite stable.

He waved his hand to let Huo Quai's illness calm down for a while, turned his head to look at Guo Jie, and said warmly: "What happened, you say it slowly." ”

Guo Xie knelt on a piece of animal skin and sighed: "It's dead, it's all dead." ”

"Originally, I sold porcelain on the grassland, and I handled the relationship with those Huns well, and made a lot of money for me and the Marquis of Changning, just cattle, sheep and horses, there were more than 10,000 heads, and a lot of gold."

"Later."

"The Marquis of Changning gave me a map, and my cousin and I came to the Hexi Corridor with seven or eight hundred people, panning for gold in a place called Sugan Lake, and digging mutton fat jade seeds by the way."

"At the beginning, it went very well, not only did I dig out the gold, but also dug up dozens of carts of mutton fat jade seeds, roughly calculated, in the land of Guanzhong, at least 20,000 or 30,000 acres of fertile land can be bought, and my cousin's father, as well as the hundreds of brothers under him, are very happy, and the motivation is even more sufficient."

"In order to dig out more gold and dig more mutton fat jade seeds, my cousin's father proposed that he wanted to trick some Huns into coming in to help us mine."

"As a result, something happened!"

“……”

It turned out that Tangyi's father tried to find hundreds of Huns outside to help them pan for gold and mine together, and at first they were peaceful, but later, two Huns had evil thoughts and wanted to monopolize this piece of gold panning area and ore veins, so they secretly escaped.

Ten days later, they were attacked by more than 5,000 Huns.

They were caught off guard, although they relied on the strong camp, desperately resisted, and killed more than 1,000 Huns with traps, bows and crossbows, etc., but in the end they were outnumbered and broken by the Huns.

Hundreds of brothers were all killed in battle, the whereabouts of Tangyi's father are unknown, Guo Xie fled with his life, on the way back to Chang'an, he stumbled upon a Han cavalry, and after secretly watching it, he found out that this was the 3,000 Yulin army led by Huo Quai......

"Champion Hou, Pingyang Hou, Tangyi's father's dog thief is a Huns, this time he must have secretly colluded with the Huns and killed hundreds of our lives."

Guo Xie gritted his teeth and scolded: "In the past ten days, while I have fled for my life in the direction of Chang'an City, I am also secretly looking for the dog thief of my father, if I find him, I will definitely cut him with a thousand knives!" ”

Huo Quzhi and Cao Xiang glanced at each other, with a hint of disbelief on their faces.

Although Tangyi's father was a Huns, he returned to the Han Dynasty from the beginning and became an attendant of Zhang Qian's family, Marquis Bowang.

Not to mention the trip between Tangyi's father and Yang Chuan to Mobei, the two depend on each other, and the friendship of life and death along the way is probably not something that ordinary people can imagine.

And.

The most important point is that Tangyi's father is now Yang Chuan's father-in-law, and his daughter Naren Toya is still in Yang Chuan's Zhuangzi......

"Guo Jie, how far is the place where you pan for gold and mine?" Huo Quzhi suddenly asked.

Guo Xie took out a sheepskin map from his bosom, pointed to the westernmost area and said: "Four hundred miles to the west, there is a Hun Tuweizi City, which is the territory of the Hun Evil King under the account of King Youxian, within a radius of three thousand miles, there are 80,000 Huns living in that area, not counting the Qiang people, Xirong and the people of the Western Regions.

Our little golden ditch is in this location.

Our mutton fat jade vein is in this location, by the way, the Huns who attacked us should be several tribes in this area, and the scimitars in their hands are very hard, comparable to the weapons of your Yulin army......"

The map in Guo Jie's hand was a rough map given to him by Yang Chuan.

It's just that under the addition and revision of this Guanzhong ranger, it has become an extremely detailed 'Jiuquan topography map'......

Of course, at the moment, Huo Quzhi, Cao Xiang, and Guo Xie didn't know that the place they were about to conquer later had a very domineering name-

Jiuquan.

"You're not bad."

Huo Quzhi stretched out his hand to take the map from Guo Jie's hand, flattened it on the desk, leaned down to check it carefully, and said: "Before leaving, Yang Chuan once said that this area is the westernmost point of the Hexi Corridor, and further west, it is the so-called Western Regions, and the geographical location is extremely important. ”

"The Sugan Lake you said should be in this location."

Huo Quzhi pointed at a small black dot on the map, and turned his head to look at Cao Xiang: "Cao Datou, it's time to take out the first bag that Yang Chuan gave you, right?" ”

Cao Xiang smiled and said, "If you don't say it, Ben Hou almost forgot about it." ”

As he spoke, he reached into his arms and searched for a while, then he took out a bag from his pocket, and when he looked at the color, he couldn't help but smile: "Wrong, this is the third ......"

So, there was another round of picking.

This time, I finally made no mistake.

He threw the bag to Huo Quai: "Okay, Ben Hou's first task is complete." ”

Huo Quzhi scolded in his mouth, and he didn't know whether he was scolding Yang Chuan or Cao Xiang, anyway, he was very angry, it seemed that Yang Chuan handed over the bag to Cao Xiang instead of giving it to him, which means that he is still not at ease with his champion Hou.

"When this battle is over, go back to Chang'an City and see how I clean up that house!"

Huo Quzhi opened the bag with a bad face, but inside was a map, which was painted in three colors such as cinnabar, pine ink, and indigo, and was densely packed, which was very complicated.

In addition, there are some arrows marked with cinnabar, but they are a road map for the march?

Huo Quzhi looked confused, looked at the map in front of him, and after a long time, he scolded: "Yang Chuan of the dog day, even if he doesn't know how to fight, he still commands so blindly?" ”

"Look, even the follow-up march route, time required, and precautions are marked, is this doubting Benhou's command and combat ability?"

"Still."

"This dog's drawing technique is really clever, look at this line, this arrow, how sharp the drawing is......"

As he spoke, he casually put the map on the mutton fat lamp, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a flame, and after a few breaths of fierce burning, it turned into ashes and fell to the ground one after another.

Cao Xiang stood up violently and opened his mouth to speak, but when he saw Huo Quzhi's face, he sat down again, and muttered, "Ben Hou hasn't seen it yet......"

Guo Xie was also confused.

However, others were soft-spoken, seeing that Huo Qubing was angry with Yang Chuan, and casually burned a potentially important combat map, but he could only pretend not to know.

"Okay, Yang Chuan's map is nothing more than that, if you burn it with fire, won't it also turn into fly ashes?"

Huo Quzhi clapped his hands, sat down casually, slowly drank the water from the silver kettle, and the two Danfeng eyes gradually became cold: "Li Kang." ”

The curtain of the tent was lifted, and Li Dang strode in and said, "The end will be!" ”

Huo Quzhi slowly raised his head: "Order, immediately pull out, and march due west for three hundred miles!" ”

Li dared to answer, strode out of the tent, and commanded the orphans of Yulin to pull out.

"Let's go, it's time to get to work," Huo Quzhi stood up, and under the service of the two personal soldiers, he began to put on leather armor and iron clothes, "Guo Jie, you also follow Benhou to go on the expedition and avenge your brothers." ”

Cao Xiang also got up from the ground and laughed quite loudly: "Listen to what you said, you don't raise your anger at all, no wonder Yang Chuan said that you are uneducated." ”

Huo Quzhi squinted: "Do you have the ability to say something more uplifting?" ”

Cao Xiang coughed lightly and said indifferently: "Those who offend me as a strong man will ......be punished even if they are far away."

……

carelessly, Cao Xiang was asked to pretend again.

Huo Qu was angry and angry, but it didn't matter, to fight, he relied on the soldiers, horses, and food, and the correct command of the general, and he couldn't defeat the Huns by selling his mouth.

The rapid march in the past month or so has made the orphans of the three thousand Yulin exhausted, and there have been many casualties and violent deaths of the war horses under the crotch.

In addition, the more difficult the situation, the more obvious the importance of Yang Chuan becomes.

For example, the braised beef jerky, fried soybeans, compressed pot helmets, and several large bags of medicinal materials for diarrhea, malaria and mosquito bites in the soldiers' bags are so refreshing that this army of soldiers and horses can be 'resurrected with full blood' anytime and anywhere.

The only problem is the route of the march.

Huo Quzhi burned the map on the surface, just to show it to others, so as not to give birth to any bad rights and wrongs, in fact, he just glanced at the map a few times, and then kept all the details in it in mind, and it was exactly the same.

So, after resting for three hours by a piece of sea.

At dawn, the sky was green, the Oriental Morning Star was still sleeping, the grassland was quiet, and the birds, beasts, insects, and fish that were chirping in the middle of the night seemed to be tired and asleep.

The Yulin Army set off again.

This time the goal is clear, that is, the small golden ditch of Sugan Lake, which was occupied by the Huns.

"Cao Xiang, you take a group of soldiers and horses, ambush in this position, cut off the enemy's retreat, and at the same time, you must do everything possible to stop the enemy who rescues."

Huo Quzhi took out another map and pointed to a black spot nearby: "This is a canyon area seven or eight miles long, rugged and difficult to walk, easy to defend and difficult to attack, you build a military village here, and divide two teams of soldiers and horses, prepare some more boulders and rolling logs, and hold this place for a day and a night." ”

During the war, Cao Xiang seemed to be a different person, and the rogue aura on his body was gone, and his eyes were blazing, and he suddenly promised: "No!" ”

And he galloped away with 1,200 men and horses.

"Li Kang, you take a thousand soldiers and horses, go to Tuweizi City of the Huns, make a little movement in that area, and kill more than a dozen tribes first."

"If you encounter a large group of Hun cavalry, you will avoid the edge and will never be allowed to fight."

"Got it?"

Li Dang awe-inspiring ordered: "No! ”

Li Dang galloped away with a troop of soldiers and horses.

There are only 800 Yulin orphans left in their hands, but they have to face four or five thousand Hun cavalry in the area of Sugan Lake, or, maybe more......

Huo Qubing asked the soldiers to stand by on the spot, but he rode his treading cloud, carried a horse lance, and came to Sugan Lake alone.

Stick the lance in the sand.

He picked a big clean stone, sat on the ground, and took out a packet of beef jerky, a packet of fried soybeans, and a small packet of gadgets from his arms, but it was the 'licorice slices' specially prepared for him by Yang Chuan.

At that time, Yang Chuan in order to survive, often with a piece of licorice in his mouth, slowly smacked, there is a rational qi and blood, warm the stomach and detoxification effect, now, with the Longxi Huangfu family attached, he simply let the family of doctors began to develop 'Chinese patent medicine', not only easy to carry, but also not easy to deteriorate.

The Yulin Army was the first to enjoy this treatment......

"Eight hundred soldiers and horses, if you want to completely wipe out the thousands of Huns here, it is obviously impossible."

"And what does Yang Chuan mean?"

Huo Quzhi first ate a few 'licorice tablets', rinsed them with water, and then began to chew beef jerky and fried soybeans, looking at the mysterious and quiet Sugan Lake in the darkness before dawn, and fell into deep thought.

In Yang Chuan's 'tips', there is not only a map, but also a small note, on which a sentence is written: 'If you can't beat it, join it.' ’

What kind of is this?

Is it a last resort to choose to surrender?

Huo Quzhi was laughed at by his own thoughts.

In fact, Yang Chuan's meaning is very clear, that is, when necessary, he might as well pretend to be a Huns, mix in them, and wait for opportunities, often with unexpected miraculous effects.

Merely.

He is a dignified champion marquis, who travels thousands of miles, killing the enemy without counting, so that he pretends to be a Hun who is a wolf Riha, not that he can't do it, but ...... I don't want to be for it.

The east is white, there is a wave of sparkling on the Sugan Lake, there are small fish swimming over, just swim quietly in the shallow water, from time to time, will raise their heads, spit out a few small bubbles, cute and cute, very cute.

Flashing.

A small black fish flashed by, and there were not even a few decent ripples on the water, and the little fish that was still cute just now disappeared, only a few clouds of fine sand rolled up in the shallow water, and after a few spins in the water, it began to sink slowly again......

Huo Quzhi suddenly had some realization.

It turns out that Yang Chuan has always emphasized to him that he must be obscene, obscene, unscrupulous, and take winning on the battlefield as the first priority in everything, is this what it means?

Huo Qubing is too strong, on the battlefield, he has always rushed and killed, and along the way, he was invincible, and he was worthy of the champion Hou given to him by the emperor.

A good man must be brave and champion the three armies.

But this time in the battle of Hexi, he only had 3,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, even if he was a ten, in the face of 10,000 Hun cavalry at every turn, he really couldn't make up his mind.

It's all to blame on Yang Chuan, so that Huo Qu's illness began to become obscene, it's just ......

It's so cool!

Huo Quzhi stood up, carefully wrapped the leftover beef jerky and fried soybeans, stuffed them into his arms, picked up his eight horse lances, and strode towards the camp.

He finally made a far-reaching choice -

When you can beat it, you can hold it down and fight to the death;

When the fight failed, he pretended to be a Hun and after penetrating the enemy, he looked for fighters and held down those wolves to death......
