"Think about what the king will do. ”

Xiao Yan's reminder always echoed in Liman's ears, making him uneasy, "I'll go to the front to check the situation, you stay, don't act rashly, be prepared to face the battle, just in case." ”

The four companions sent by Dotun were suspicious, and one of them said, "Is there anything to see, do you not believe the scout's report, or do you not believe it...... Your Highness's judgment?"

Dodon's distrust of Liman affected his companions, and the four felt more like overseers than helpers to the commander.

Liman pointed to the wind and sand in front of him with a horsewhip, "The vision is not clear, it is always good to be cautious." ”

"Liman, you won't believe Xiao Yan's speculation, will you?" one of his companions looked at the commander warily, "This is the time to test loyalty, Your Highness's attitude is very clear, you can't be a wallhead. ”

Li Man held back his anger and said coldly: "This has nothing to do with loyalty or disloyalty, Your Highness has handed over more than 40,000 soldiers to my command, and I have to be responsible for them." ”

"You should be responsible to Your Highness in the first place. The other companion said in a colder tone, "There are 100,000 people in the Naihang tribe, can you subdue them all alone?"

"Liman, I know that you are anxious to regain the favor of His Highness, but you can't use this method to grab credit, you are the commander, and you shouldn't risk it alone, otherwise what's the use of Your Highness sending a few of us with you?"

The suspicions of the four people were no longer hidden, and Li Man calmed down, "I hope my judgment is wrong, so it's okay, divide the 40,000 cavalry into four teams, each of the four of you will lead a team, and advance one after another, and I will follow the front team." ”

The four of Dotun's companions whispered in front of Liman, speculating on Liman's true purpose, and then one of them said, "Okay, but you have to stay on the last team, and you can check the situation anyway, and you don't have to go out yourself." ”

"You're the commander-in-chief, so of course you have to sit in the rear. "The other guy helped.

Liman looked at the four of them for a while before nodding, "That's it, don't get too close to each other, if there is anything abnormal, ......"

"You're not the only one who will lead troops into battle. One of the partners said that he was disdainful and immediately selected his 10,000 troops to take away and become the first team.

The 10,000 cavalry stretched out to the wings, like a large fragile net covering thousands of fresh fish that were jumping around, and Liman wanted to be reminded, but finally held back.

Before Liman gave the order, the second group of 10,000 troops had already set off, and it was only a stone's throw away from the previous group of men and horses, and it would merge into one force if it ran a little faster.

Liman still didn't squeak, and when the third companion was anxiously preparing to lead the troops out, Liman grabbed his arm, "Wait, there's been a long time since the scouts have come back to report from the front." ”

"So what? The scouts saw the army coming, and felt the need to tell the news. The partner shook off Liman's grasp with all his might.

"Scouts don't have the authority to make such decisions. ”

"That is to meet the two teams in front of you and report the news to them. ”

Liman still can't feel at ease, "It doesn't hurt to wait a little longer." ”

"Wait any longer, and the credit will be gone. The third companion gave the order to the captain, and the same line of snakes forward.

Before the 10,000-strong army in front of him could come out of sight, the fourth partner urged: "Let's go, you see, there is no problem at all, what tricks can you come up with?"

Liman endured his partner's rudeness to his father, and once again remembered Xiao Yan's reminder that Zhisu was indeed brave and unscrupulous, and was not good at secretly trading, but he was loyal to the old man and regarded every word of his life as an unchangeable will.

As the only foreign prince of the Northern Court, what did King Zhu do in the face of fierce competition for the throne of the Khan? Liman was in the army of King Zhuhai at that time, and he saw with his own eyes that he had always remained neutral and reaped benefits from all sides, and it was not until after his death that Liman knew that the Khan King arranged by King Zhuhai was actually a twelve-year-old Shulitu.

"If the Naihang clan is attacked by Luo Luo's army and is really willing to surrender, 30,000 people in front are enough, if there is a trap, I hope to save more than 10,000 cavalry for His Highness. "Liman decided to stay and not leave.

The partner was angry, and it was unlucky to lead the last team, and if he stopped moving, he was likely to be punished instead of making meritorious contributions, "Liman, what are you talking about, do you really think that His Highness trusts you and makes you the commander?

"You forgot that I was going to be the first, but you refused. Liman said calmly, becoming more and more sure that something was wrong.

The partner's face turned red, "This is called wanting to get away with it, yes, I know your trick, you deliberately ......"

Liman turned to the captain of his team, "I am still the commander of the left army. ”

"That's right. The captain replied respectfully, he did not want to participate in the struggle of the small group around His Highness, but only wanted to do his duty, "You are still the commander-in-chief." ”

"Pass the order, prepare for battle, and send more scouts to the front to inquire about the news. ”

"Yes. "The commander of ten thousand commands people to give orders.

The companion found that he was alone and could not balance Liman, so he couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, rode around the horse, first wanted to chase the front alone, and soon turned back, and when he passed by Liman, he said in a hateful voice: "I'm going to see Your Highness, cherish your commander's position, I won't sit for long." ”

Liman nodded, but said nothing, believing that as the commander of the First Army, he had the power to adjust Prince Dodun's orders.

The first few groups of scouts quickly returned without any special news, and those who had run the farthest even heard the whistling of the battlefield, and the Naihang seemed to be in the thick of the battle with the army of Rollo.

A herald came from the rear, came directly to Limanma, and said solemnly: "Your Highness has an order, ordering the commander to lead the army to advance immediately, and there must be no mistake." ”

The captain looked at the young commander sympathetically.

Liman couldn't disobey, "Let's go." ”

The commander gave the order to control the horses and slow down the horses, and the whole army was in line with him.

The herald waited for a while, shook his head, and returned to the camp of the left army.

Dotun gave the order a second time, which brought back five heralds, including the fourth companion who had been forced away by Liman, and the scene was a little tense, but instead of removing Liman as commander, Dotun gave him an ultimatum.

"Your Highness orders you to speed up and immediately join the three armies in front, and not to allow the detachment to advance, and if you disobey even a minute, it will be a capital offense. The partner couldn't hide the smugness in his heart, and his voice was a little shrill because of it.

Liman was thinking about what to do, and another group of scouts in front of him returned, excitedly bringing good news, "The Naihang tribe has surrendered, and our army is receiving prisoners. ”

Dotun's partner slapped the thigh, then looked at Liman coldly.

Liman let out a long breath, "I'm glad I was wrong, go and report to Your Highness." ”

The scout hurried to the rear, his companion and several heralds glancing at each other, scrambling to turn their horses' heads and gallop toward the left camp.

Everyone should think of the first person to deliver the good news, which is the least costly means of meritorious service.

There was no shame in his heart when he ordered the order to speed up, and he would remain cautious as long as Dotun allowed him to play in the future.

Another group of scouts returned, a total of three people, all elated, and the news brought back was still "the surrender of the Naihang tribe".

Liman ordered them to go alongside him in order to inquire in detail, "How many have surrendered?"

"About a thousand. ”

"So little?" said Liman, taken aback.

"This is the one who ran first, and there must be more to come. The scout guessed.

"A couple of officers have been seized and are being escorted back, and the general will soon be able to see them. Another scout said.

Liman ordered to slow down again, and he could feel that the soldiers were beginning to be dissatisfied, and that the commander's caution was too much.

A small group of men and horses galloped from the front, and the two in the middle were not wearing helmets or weapons, apparently the officers to whom the scouts were pointed.

The centurion who led the team saluted Liman on his horse, "General, these two are the commanders of the Naihang clan, and I am ordered to send them to His Highness." ”

Li Man looked at the two captives, his whole body was excited, a layer of fine sweat broke out, and he blurted out: "You are not from the Nahang tribe!"

He followed his father and served in the army of the king for many years, not to mention the commander of a thousand, even a centurion, and he knew it all, and there were absolutely no two of them among them.

The two captives nodded hurriedly, "We all said we weren't, and they didn't listen." ”

"Which one are you from?"

"Sus, we are Suss. ”

Liman's heart sank, the Misi tribe is a small tribe in the north, belonging to a certain prince, and has nothing to do with the king of the king, "Why did you come to surrender?"

"We actually received news to watch the battle, and they all said that this battle may elect a new Khan King, who ......knows?"

"Who knew that Rollo suddenly sent troops to attack the troops watching the battle. Another captive rushed and said, "We were defenseless, retreated all the way here, and then surrendered." Really, we are not from the Naihang tribe, nor are we Luo Luo's annihilation, but no one asks us, and no one listens to what we say. ”

"What about the Naihang people?" Liman's voice trembled.

"I don't see it, it seems...... It seems to have shifted to the north. ”

Liman immediately understood that the Naihang clan really still had to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and Zhisu was more optimistic about Luo Luo, so he lent the road to the eastern army.

Dotun once sent 5,000 cavalry to the north, under the banner of Shulitu, but now that he thinks about it, he will either be wiped out or surrender to the Naihang tribe, so there has been no news.

The centurion who led the team didn't understand the seriousness of the matter, and asked blankly, "Didn't the Naihang clan fight with the Luo Luo army?"

"Order the troops at the front to retreat immediately. Liman shouted, "Prepare for battle!" and then he said to the bewildered centurion, "Go and report to Your Highness that the army of Rollo has come and ask him and the little clan to withdraw to the Chinese army at once." ”

The centurion finally thought through it, his face turned pale all at once, he whipped his horse, and ran to the rear without his life.

The commander hurriedly gave the order to meet the battle, and looked at the dusty sky from Liman, and felt that the wind was really strong today.

The sound of rumbling horses' hooves, mixed with a shrill whistle, came from afar.
