Huhuhu~

The autumn breeze is bleak, and the grassland is especially special.

It was already the seventh day after leaving Yunzhou County.

Huo Qubing did not choose to follow the route from the Xiongnu to enter the grassland through Yumen Pass, where there must be an eyeliner left by the Xiongnu, which was extremely easy to expose.

His main attack this time was a blitzkrieg, and he didn't plan to face the Huns head-on.

Speed and intelligence are what matter.

In order to conceal it, Huo Qubing deliberately went around in a circle and entered the border of the Xiongnu steppe from the depths of the Tatar steppe.

After the consultation, I deliberately found a direction that the bounty group had not been to and entered the Xiongnu steppe.

After galloping on the Xiongnu grassland for nearly three days, I finally saw a trace of people in the distance.

It was a small flock, and a Hun herdsman was riding a horse to drive the sheep forward.

After the sentry found this Huns, he didn't need Huo Qubing's orders, the sentry immediately quietly leaned over and captured the Hun herdsman neatly!

"General! Catch a tongue! ”

The sentry quickly brought the captured herdsmen to Huo Qubing.

Huo Qubing was worried about the road ahead at this time and didn't know where to go, and when he saw the tongue that was caught by the sentry horseman, his face suddenly showed joy.

But seeing that even though the Xiongnu herdsman had been captured, he was still screaming and scolding in Xiongnu with a fierce face, and his face was full of unconvinced.

Huo Qubing immediately waved his hand: "Call Shen Ji to me!" ”

"No!"

After a while, a man dressed in black and without armor rushed over on a horse, and when he saw Huo Qubing, he immediately asked:

"The last general, Shen Ji, has seen the general! I wonder what the general commanded? ”

Huo Qubing raised his horsewhip and pointed to the herdsman who was still struggling and screaming on his horse, and asked:

"How long will it take for him to be honest?"

After Shen Ji glanced back, he immediately said confidently: "Half an hour at most!" ”

"Good! Then I'll leave it to you, and in half an hour General Ben will see him calmly answer General Ben's questions! ”

"No!"

Shen Ji agreed, rode to the side of the sentry horse, and lifted the tied sturdy den with his right hand, and walked towards the rear of the army.

And after Huo Qubing arranged the surrounding defenses, he temporarily went to the army to rest nearby.

It just so happened that this man had come here because there was a small lake, and his sheep and so on happened to give tooth sacrifices to the brothers.

Huo Qubing didn't feel guilty at all about robbing these Xiongnu herdsmen, and he came to the Xiongnu grassland this time to take revenge.

The Xiongnu did even more excessively in the Central Plains, what happened to him and his brothers eating a few sheep?

After about half an hour, Shen Ji walked over with the herdsman who was no longer arrogant just now.

Shen Ji is worthy of being the interrogation master that Huo Qubing specially asked for from the secret guard.

It took less than half an hour for the talent to be handed over to him, but he no longer had the unruly appearance just now.

The whole person's steps were vain, as if he had seen something terrifying, and he cowardly followed Shen Ji back.

"How?"

Huo Qubing asked.

"General, you can ask, you shouldn't dare to tell lies."

Shen Ji didn't say it all, after all, the most difficult thing to guess in the world is people's hearts.

But he is still a little sure, after his own training, this Xiongnu herdsman should not dare to tell lies.

Huo Qubing nodded, picked up the roasted leg of lamb and took a big bite, and turned his head to ask the herdsman:

"Where is this? What Hun tribes are nearby? Which tribe are you from, and in which direction is the nearest Xiongnu tribe? How far is it from here? ”

The herdsman glanced at Shen Ji blankly, and Shen Ji immediately translated Huo Qubing's five questions in Xiongnu with a fierce face.

The herdsman looked at Shen Ji timidly, and then replied in a humbling Xiongnu language.

And Shen Ji immediately acted as a temporary translator to translate the information he said one by one.

"General Huo, he just said that this is the eastern grassland of the Xiongnu, and it is the territory of King Angri of King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu.

Due to the lack of water and grass in this area, there are only two medium-sized tribes with less than 5,000 people.

One of these two tribes is called the Wangribe tribe and the other is called the Miharyu tribe.

And he is a herdsman of the Wangribe tribe, and now that the grassland is about to enter winter, he wants to hurry up and take advantage of the winter to feed the sheep at home, so he came to the nearby grazing. ”

"And where is this Miharyu tribe?

Where is the Wangribe tribe? How far is the distance? ”

Shen Ji immediately translated the question, and the herdsman of the Wangribe tribe obviously hesitated after hearing this question.

But under the gaze of Shen Ji Xiongnu, he hurriedly answered.

And Shen Ji translated his answer.

"General, he said that Mihayu is half a day's way to the north, and Wangri is two days to the west!"

When Huo Qubing heard this, he immediately looked at the herdsman, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

And the herdsman subconsciously shrank his neck the moment he looked at Huo Qubing.

Huo Qubing didn't say anything more, got up and ate the leg of mutton in his hand in a few bites, and ordered: "Inform the brothers, give the brothers half an hour to rest, and after half an hour, the whole army will set off and head north, we will work!" ”

Over there, Shen Ji saw that the information had already been asked, and was about to turn out the herdsman, but was stopped by Huo Qubing, facing Shen Ji's puzzled gaze, Huo Qubing looked at the herdsman and said with a smile:

"Let's keep him for now, it'll be useful later."

Although Shen Ji was puzzled, he also stopped his movements and escorted the herdsman down.

……

Half an hour later, after resting and replenishing, the assault army galloped towards the north under the leadership of Huo Qubing.

Tens of thousands of war horses trampled all the way to dust, raising yellow smoke and dust all over the sky.

Thirty miles away in the Miharyu tribe.

The leader of the Mihalyu tribe is discussing with the most intelligent member of the tribe, the Chehua clan, about the relocation of the tribe next year.

At the tribal assembly, their Miharyu tribe was able to draw the barren grassland in the entire grassland in the vicinity due to their black hands, which led to their need to migrate frequently, because the nearby pastures simply could not support them for that long.

Seeing that winter is coming, the nearby pastures have been almost consumed after a summer and autumn.

The Miharyu tribe will migrate to the new pastures with fertile pasture after the beginning of spring next year, before the onset of winter.

This is the only way to keep the herdsmen in the tribe alive and well enough to thrive in the coming year.

"Chief, the nearby pastures have been almost consumed now, if we want to ensure the consumption of those livestock and cubs next year, we can only go west, only where there is still fertile pastures for water and grass.

It's just that if we move over there, we'll be in conflict with the Wangribe tribe that we've been using, and they're probably not willing to let us camp near them. ”

Tetsuka gave what he thinks is the best option at the moment.

After listening to this, the head of the Miharyu tribe bowed his head and pondered for a while, just when the Chehua clan thought that the head man wanted to change places, he listened to the master planner slam his hammer on the table and said firmly:

"Just go west! Hit it! It's especially difficult for us Mihar to succeed, and I'm afraid that they won't be able to do it in the net?

Why do we want to stay in this barren pasture, but they can occupy the best pasture nearby, everyone is a tribe of about 5,000 people, who is afraid of whom!? ”

Seeing that the leader had made up his mind, the Chehua clan did not say the other choice he had originally prepared.

Compared to the Wangribe tribe, it was not so easy to find trouble with the Tenggefei tribe, after all, it was an upper and medium-sized tribe with seven thousand people, which was much stronger than their Mihaer.

Just as the two were about to discuss some more details about this migration, the curtain of the yurt was suddenly opened, and a guard hurriedly ran in and shouted:

"Head head man! Oh no! A large group of cavalry is approaching our tribe! ”

Wow!

The two of them were shocked and stood up!
