Chapter 324: Champion Hou's Inheritance Stunt
Zhao Deyan was speechless, he didn't expect the dignified champion Hou to be a scoundrel, all these words were spoken? I really misjudged him before.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Deyan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, just bet." Zhao Deyan has a cheap life, and if he can gamble with Hou Ye before he dies, it will not be in vain. I'm very curious, where does Hou Ye get the confidence that he will definitely be able to catch the sweat? ”
"Let's talk about it first, if it is caught by the representative chasing the royal court, it doesn't count."
Xiao Rui stroked his hands and praised: "Refreshing!" Of course, if he catches up with the royal court, he has a strong army, and we may not be able to catch him. It's limited to five days, no, three days, and you can catch Jieli in three days. ”
Zhao Deyan slapped his palm, "Okay, if Hou Ye can really catch the Great Khan in three days, Zhao Deyan will be convinced, and this life will be at the disposal of Hou Ye in the future, only you will be the first to look forward." ”
"It's a deal! Come on, come and study with me to see where Jieli Club is hiding? Xiao Rui pulled Zhao Deyan's sleeve and began to look at the map together.
Zhao Deyan: ......??? Make no mistake, I'm supportive of what you can't find, how can I help you with an idea?
Isn't this a joke? Can you really find people with a map? How do you catch a needle in a haystack? You don't know Jieli, how do you know which way he goes?
Xiao Rui held a special ruler in his hand, then took out a piece of paper and kept writing and calculating, marking the map from time to time. focused, and didn't say a word to Zhao Deyan.
Zhao Deyan is a complete audience, looking at Xiao Rui's focused appearance, he secretly admires in his heart, it is really strange, it is not easy to see this person carry out a precise plan with his own eyes.
"It's ...... It's all a water source? Is Hou Ye trying to find the Great Khan through the water source? Zhao Deyan was surprised: "I understand, this map is specially made by Hou Ye himself, and he can draw a more detailed map of water, land, grass and trees than all of us, it seems that Hou Ye has been prepared." ”
"I'm afraid that I am destined to disappoint the Hou Ye, the Great Khan is one person and one horse, drinking water, eating and drinking are extremely simple, and you can survive with a little water everywhere. After two days of running, you won't be able to catch up again. ”
Xiao Rui nodded and praised: "Yes, what the military advisor said is not wrong at all." That's why I made a three-day appointment with you. If you can't catch up for three days, there's no point. ”
Looking at Zhao Deyan's face full of confidence, as if the bet had been won, Xiao Rui asked jokingly: "Military advisor, do you know the title of Benhou?" ”
"Hou Ye is the champion Hou, and the legendary Han champion Hou Huo is sick, who doesn't know?" Zhao Deyan was puzzled.
Xiao Rui asked again: "Then do you know the inheritance skills of the champions of the past dynasties?" ”
Yes?
What, what inheritance stunt?
Why is it suddenly chattering? A champion Hou is just a title, you and Huo Qubing are not relatives, you have only heard of the bloodline inheritance, this kind of title still has a heritage?
Zhao Deyan's face was full of disbelief, and his eyes said: Are you kidding me?
Xiao Rui took the opportunity to talk about history, "Legend has it that the champion Hou Huo went to illness, and three thousand cavalry entered the hinterland of the Huns, and they ate on the enemy and swept the grassland. I can always find the gathering place of the Xiongnu accurately, and kill countless people. even entered the court of the Xiongnu and captured countless Xiongnu princes and nobles. ”
Zhao Deyan glanced at him, "Is Master Hou talking about his own merits?" Didn't you do that before? Exactly the same handwriting, is this the inheritance of the champion Hou? ”
No, no, no, you're mistaken.
Xiao Rui shook his finger: "That's not what I'm going to say. It's the method, Huo Qubing didn't have a detailed map like mine at the beginning, how could he not get lost in the grassland? And can you repeatedly find the main force of the steppe Huns? ”
Zhao Deyan said disdainfully: "It's very simple not to get lost, you can identify the stars in the sky." As for finding the main force of the Huns...... Is it a water source? ”
Speaking of this, he looked at the map on the table and suddenly realized.
"That's right, the Huns were nomadic and lived by water. Wherever you migrate, always be close to the water. Hou Huo, the champion of the Han Dynasty, must have locked the water source, and the more abundant the water source, the more it can attract a large number of tribes to gather. In this way, as long as the water source of the steppe is explored, there is a chance that the main tribe of the Xiongnu can be found. ”
Xiao Rui smiled, "That's right, I did the same at the beginning, is this considered the inheritance stunt of the champion Hou?" ”
Zhao Deyan glanced at him, arched his hand weakly, and did not speak. Meaning you're awesome.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Deyan still didn't believe it, "But what does this have to do with how you found the Great Khan?" The Great Khan did not stop at a certain tribe, he fled to the royal court with all his might. These sources are not needed. ”
Xiao Rui gently patted the long case where the map was placed, and nodded proudly: "That's right, that's right, if he runs away with his head covered alone, I really can't catch him." ”
Are you still ...... Well? Zhao Deyan was shocked, "What does Master Hou mean?" Wasn't the Great Khan alone? ”
Faintly, Zhao Deyan had a bad guess.
Xiao Rui reminded: "General Su collected a lot of loot last night, but there were not many prisoners, counting the killed and captured ones, less than 10,000 people. Thirty thousand escaped. Gee...... Will this group regroup? What if they meet Jieli halfway through? ”
There have been such things in history, such as the Battle of Cao Cao's Red Cliffs, where 800,000 troops were burned clean by a fire, but in fact not many people died, and most of them were defeated by night raids. In the end, no less than 500,000 people fled back to the north to re-enlist. Cao Cao is also a well-deserved overlord of the north.
Hiss......
Zhao Deyan panicked, that's right, this is not a small force. If the Great Khan encounters them, of course, he will take them over again, and it will be safer to have 30,000 soldiers and horses to protect him.
But that's it...... 30,000 men ate their horses and marched and camped...... Finished!
I saw Xiao Rui holding the ruler to write and draw easily, and after a while, his brows loosened, and he pointed towards the map, "This is here, the wolf drinking pond four hundred miles northwest." According to Jieli's foot strength, plus the direction he is going, and the direction of the rout, if there is no accident, this is the place. ”
Zhao Deyan admired Xiao Rui's shrewdness, but until the last moment, he was still unwilling to admit defeat, and defended himself: "So what? A journey of 400 miles requires your 10,000 cavalry to travel day and night. Moreover, there are 30,000 horses around the Great Khan, and he will not give you another chance to sneak attack. Fight head-on, can you beat it? ”
Xiao Rui shook his head regretfully: "Military advisor, don't give up if you don't go to the Yellow River!" Ben Khan never doubted General Su's ability, he was a fierce general. ”
"What about 30,000 people? Don't forget, it was a reorganization of 30,000 defeated troops, and the general you can call the Turks, after last night's battle, was either killed or captured. Now those 30,000 defeated soldiers, without the leadership of the general, are toothless tigers, do you think they are Jieli's guards? Or is it a burden to Jieli? ”
You......
Zhao Deyan was taken back to the prisoner camp in frustration, and even refused Xiao Rui's delicious meal, too, how could he still be in the mood to eat?
Xiao Rui began to arrange the supplies of the pursuing soldiers, and in the evening, Su Lie, who had rested, set off again with his soldiers and horses.
