Xian Dong turned to Xianbei and said, "It's settled, let's go!" You arrange it, how can he not catch up with us? ”

Xianbei said, "It's easy to let him catch up with us." The key is that we have to prepare for a long-term migration, what about our meals? ”

Xian Dong said, "What to do, do it yourself." ”

"That's easy," Xianbei said, "then there must be pots and pans?" ”

"Of course."

Xianbei asked, "How much grain?" ”

Xian Dong said, "To build the Great Wall, grain will be distributed in ten days, and it will only be distributed in a few days." ”

Xianbei calculated and said, "Ten days and ten people's food, well, almost, after ten days, they will be able to dispel the idea of chasing us, action!" ”

Xiandong and Xianxi, as well as Mu Tong, all went to ask Xianbei, "Why are you leaving?" ”

Xianbei stood at the top and said, "Listen to my arrangement!" ”

Everyone looked up at Xianbei with their chin up.

Xianbei pointed to the head and said, "You, you, a few of you, go to the mountains over there to collect firewood." Hit it back and put it at the base of the mountain. ”

Among the few people who are accused of collecting firewood, there is a peak.

Gao Feng pulled his neck and said, "What are you doing with firewood?" Besides, usually collecting firewood for cooking, one person is enough, using so many people to collect firewood, how many days to burn? Why is it placed under the roots of the mountain over there? We have firewood on the mountain, why do we go to the mountain over there to hunt? ”

Xianbei glared and roared loudly at Gao Feng, "You can fight wherever you want, you can play wherever you want, you can put it as you want, what so much nonsense!" ”

Gao Feng looked at Xianbei, and then looked at everyone, silent, and left with a few people who were ordered by Xianbei.

Every day they cooked, they went to the mountains to pick up dead branches, and there were those dead branches on the mountains.

The rest are his eldest brother, second brother and Mu Tong. Xianbei said to the three of them, "Elders, you go back to the tent to pack your things, take away as much as you can, and the necessities of life can't be left behind—we have to live in the future—but there is one, just get ready to go, say go, pick it up and leave, we still have to stay here for about two days." When you have finished packing, you will go with them to the mountains to collect firewood. ”

"Really," the eldest brother Xiandong asked him, "what are you doing with so much firewood?" ”

The second brother asked, "Let's go fetch firewood, what are you doing?" ”

Xianbei said, "I command in the center, in this matter, it is not important to clean up the 'baggage', and it is not important to collect firewood, but it is important for me to command in the center." Big brother, you will also put the firewood under the root of the mountain over there like them. ”

Xianbei refers to the mountain range opposite.

Xian Dong looked at the fourth brother and opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, and returned to their station in the mountain valley with Xian Xi and Mu Tong.

Xianbei climbed high and looked into the distance, looking at a road at the foot of the mountain on this side, he didn't know whether the chief named Haili would come from the north or from the south, and when he would come. It's best to give us a day or two, otherwise, there won't be enough firewood.

Really, what did he ask people to shoot a lot of firewood for?

They fled, and Hairi was to chase after them. The direction of their flight could not have been clearer: only to the north, only the whitened road at the foot of the opposite hill. The eldest brother speculated that even if they escaped for two days, they could catch them no matter how much they chased them, and they rode in a three-horse peak chaser, how could a human leg outrun a horse? So, their pursuit must be stopped.

How to stop it?

Xianbei thought of a case in the Three Kingdoms period, and that time was also a flight, but there was a horse on the fleeing side.

It was a famous battle in history: the Battle of Red Cliffs.

At that time, Lü Meng followed Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu and others to break Cao Cao. Soon after, when Zhou Yu wanted to capture Jiangling, Lü Meng advised Zhou Yu to send 300 men to cut off the originally steep mountain road with firewood, so that when the enemy fled, they could obtain the enemy's horses.

Horses can gallop on a flat and unobstructed road, but on a road full of firewood, they will definitely be at a loss - when the horse's hooves step on the firewood, the firewood will bounce up and hit the horse's legs, and the horse will not convuls, can it still walk normally?

Zhou Yu adopted Lü Meng's suggestion, personally led the main force to aid Yiling, and broke Cao's army under Yiling City, killing more than half of them.

Cao Jun fled by night, passing through a dangerous road paved with firewood, and the horses could not move forward, so they jumped on their feet. In desperation, the riders abandoned their horses and walked on their own. Zhou Yu and Lü Meng drove their troops to chase and intercept, and obtained 300 war horses, and their military prestige was greatly boosted.

- Xianbei just wanted to use Lu Meng's "firewood to block the road" strategy, and did the opposite, preventing Haili from driving the peak chaser and chasing them. If a single horse walks on a road paved with firewood, if it does not walk, the carriage of the three horses will not go either.

However, this road of laying firewood must be paved very far, otherwise, Haili will have to send a dozen of his followers to clear the firewood from the road, and then chase and escape. Let him not know how far we go to spread out the firewood, and give up the attempt to clear the obstacle and chase it again.

Xianbei thought about it, surrounded his mouth with two palms, formed a horn tube, and shouted the name of "Huang Can" to the bottom of the mountain.

Huang Can is his playmate, the kid he stole the apricot to give him an eye. This kid is the youngest and the most clever, and it is most appropriate for him to stand here and watch when Hairi returns, and he will go with them to collect firewood and arrange the next moves, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?

Huang Can ran up with a snort and asked Xianbei, "Brother Bei, what are you asking me to do?" ”

Xianbei took his intentions as Huang Can said, Huang Can responded, Xianbei walked down, Huang Can walked up to the position where Xianbei was originally standing, where it was the highest, and it could be seen far away.

Huang Can said to Xianbei, "Don't worry, Brother Bei, I didn't run this task!" ”

Xianbei said, "Be mental, take out your 'eye-catching' spiritual head, don't dare to be negligent." ”

Huang Can patted his chest and said, "Wrap it up on me!" ”

Xianbei pointed at him and smiled, "I haven't mistaken you since I was a child. ”

Xianbei went down and picked up firewood with everyone. When it got dark, each of them picked up four or five bundles, and Xianbei asked them to put the firewood in the grass on the side of the road and put it away in hiding. Raising his head, he looked at the silhouette of Huang Can on the top of the mountain, and shouted with his mouth folded, "Close!" ”

He saw that those people didn't understand the word "close", so he gestured to help the language, and said, "Go back, that's all for today!" ”

Xianbei thought to himself: I have to remind myself from time to time: now is to communicate with the people of 2,441 years ago. Although our language and writing have always been passed down in an orderly manner, after all, there is a time difference, and it takes a process for me to be familiar with them and for them to be familiar with me. They are not familiar with the new words I speak, but fortunately, they can communicate with each other if they are almost the same in spoken language.

Xiandong and the others, take away the tent cheaply, and tie up everything that they don't need at any time, and they are ready to take it and leave at any time. After preparing all this, Xian Dong left Mu Tong to cook, and he and Xian Xi went to collect firewood, so when they came back, the steaming meals were ready.
