The captain looked at the camp that had just been dismantled, hoping to find a trace of clues from it, in order to speculate on the reason for the sudden withdrawal of the Huns. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info However, the withdrawal of the Hun army this time was obviously planned, everything that could be taken away had already been taken away, and what could not be taken away was only ashes all over the ground, and nothing could be seen at all.

"Have you ever noticed where they are retreating, north, west, south?" asked the lieutenant, frowning, and since he couldn't find the message they had left behind, he would start from the direction of their withdrawal.

"Report to the captain, it seems that they are all retreating to the north, and the four Huns are all retreating to the north," the four soldiers said one after another.

"Isn't that where they came from?" "Captain wondered, could this be something happening in the north?" "Get on the horse, let's go north to the mountain pass and see what happened."

More than 100 cavalry then mounted their horses again, and marched to the north of the West Pass, and along the way they saw the traces left by the retreat of the Huns, and it can be seen that the scale of their retreat was extremely large, and the speed was extremely fast, as if they were fleeing for their lives. The horses came to the edge of the mountain pass, and further up there was a dense forest.

"Captain, are we still going up?" asked the soldier.

The lieutenant shook his head, "Feng Lin Mo entered, how many of us are there, so it will be troublesome if we encounter an ambush after the break, and this place is far enough away, let's go back first, this Huns fled to Shanbei in such a hurry, presumably something happened to Shanbei"

Dusk approached, the eldest prince came to the city again, the north of the city reflected the slanting sunset, a group of cavalry ran out of the sand dunes, the red robes looked particularly dazzling under the sunset, it was the Han army out of the army this morning. "Your Royal Highness, they are back". The prince yelled, "Open the door to meet them"

Seeing that the gate was opened, the cavalry did not slow down, and accelerated into the gate, the sand and dust floated in the air, refracting the light, and the gate slowly closed again in the face of the sand.

The prince was already waiting in the city, but the captain reined in his horse, jumped off his horse, and said, "Prince, the last general has returned, but he has found nothing useful, but he has found something strange."

The prince wondered, "Didn't find it?"

The lieutenant nodded, made a gesture of please, and motioned for the prince to go to the barracks as he spoke, and the two walked side by side, "The Sizhai barracks have been evacuated, and the Huns are gone, but they have not left any traces for us, except for those footprints and horseshoe prints that they cannot handle."

The prince nodded, "But since they have left traces of the route, they must be able to know the direction of their retreat, could it be that this is the strange thing you called General?"

The lieutenant nodded, "The prince is right, they did not flee in all directions, but retreated to the north of the mountain with a strong purpose, all traces converged in the north mountain pass, and then went north of the mountain, but I did not continue to the north"

The prince touched his chin and said, "In other words, the Xiongnu have all returned to Shanbei, what happened to Shanbei?"

The lieutenant said, "The last general also guessed, it is very likely that the land north of the mountain is suddenly unstable, and these troops with a small task need to retreat as soon as possible to assist." And winter is approaching, as long as the Blue Mansion City lasts until winter, they will easily fall into a dilemma, and they will retreat without a fight at that time, but now it is ahead of schedule."

The prince showed a smile, "Could it be that they know that the reinforcements of the Han army are coming, or the reinforcements of the Han army are coming, and they are forced to retreat to the place where they keep them in order to keep their place, if they are lost, they can only sleep in the open this winter"

The lieutenant thought for a while, "The prince is reasonable, maybe we are remote here, wait for me to repair a book immediately, send someone to Pei Shan, and ask the envoy to know about it, but His Royal Highness the prince, before we get the exact news of the defeat of the Huns, this defense still can't be relaxed, maybe it's just a strategy of the Huns, maybe one day it will suddenly come back"

"This is natural, it is a big matter, I will pay attention to it," said the prince.

After the messenger sent the letter, he went to Pei Shanguo in the starry night. However, the city defense at the head of the city was inevitably relaxed, and the soldiers of the Blue Mansion Country, who were originally nervous, burst out with super combat effectiveness because of a bloody and brave breath. Now that the enemy has left, the nerves that were originally tense will definitely gradually relax. No matter how much the prince pushed, they may not have been too obvious in their actions, but they have long been mentally lax, or rather exhausted, and after a high degree of mental concentration, they will inevitably be mentally exhausted. What's more, even the prince himself has slackened, so if the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, it is inevitable that the Blue Mansion Army will not be able to.

After all, he is still in the Blue Building, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, their Han army is strong, after all, it is a guest army, the captain saw that the reminder was hopeless, so he took care of his own work, no longer too involved in the city defense affairs, and continued to train the Han army, ready to fight the Huns who did not know when they would come again.

The days passed, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed, and the middle sent two or three messengers to Pei Shan City to inquire, but every time the envoy of the Western Regions replied to the letter, he only said that he did not know the situation, and the imperial court did not seem to plan to send reinforcements to come, Pei Shan City was not attacked by the Xiongnu, but the messenger sent to the camp of the Northwest Army said that it seemed that traces of the Xiongnu pair had been found in Wuwei. A lot of strange news poured into the captain's mind, he was originally an old soldier, just read a little book, to him analyze so much news, it is really difficult for a strong man, but seeing that there is about a month left from the winter, this half a month, the Huns have not appeared, the Han army every day out of the city to practice, patrol around, don't say the Huns, there is not even a trace of people. As long as it is winter, there is basically no sword soldiers, and it is not difficult to suffer from a winter, insist on coming to spring, and the court will come, then the war of salvation will end.

When the lieutenant put away the letter and was about to close his eyes to recuperate, a light knock came in the door, and the lieutenant opened his eyes, and it was His Royal Highness the Prince, "The prince turned out, I have lost my welcome, please forgive me" while standing up and greeting him.

"No need to be polite, this is the Han army barracks, as far as I am concerned, I am a guest, I don't say anything more, how does the general look at the situation?" the prince sat down and said straight to the point.

The lieutenant shook his head, "The prince of the letter has also read it, the Huns army appeared on the border of the Han Dynasty, and the Huns here retreated north, and there were Huns on such a long line for a while, presumably the prince already has an opinion, right?"

The prince nodded, "That's right, if I guessed correctly, the Xiongnu must have withdrawn their troops to go to the border of the Han Dynasty, resulting in the original weak strength in the north, and the resistance forces in the north took advantage of the situation, and the local strength was insufficient, and they needed assistance, so they withdrew the troops surrounding us and went to suppress them, but from our point of view, the Xiongnu were defeated, if they could not capture Shannan in winter, they would be too late in the spring, this is what I thought"

The lieutenant nodded, "The prince is right, if there is someone from the north at this moment, then it will be fine."
