Not far away
Since the 10,000 people from the Tang Mu tribe have already penetrated into the hinterland of the Great Wei, they must be careful every step they go south.
Hou Mo and Chen Jing decided to go south to the ground, which was more speculation, so he only had 3,000 people, and he was also moving very quickly.
They are all soldiers of the Great Wei Dynasty, and they have no burden on their own territory, but the desolation wherever they go still affects everyone's center of the earth.
On the evening of that day, the troops of the Marquis Mo Chenjing, who was chasing him, stopped in a small mountain village outside the Qinling Mountains.
They had been chasing all the way from Chuanyun Pass, but no trace of Rouran was found along the way, so Hou Mo Chenjing had already planned to take people back to the north after tonight, so that he could catch up with Yan Bingchu's troops. Even by then Yan Bingchu had found this Rouran remnant soldier.
It is said that the small mountain village has been desolate for many years, and the eaves on several roofs have long been dilapidated, and the vines in spring have also taken the opportunity to climb up the roof.
There are actually many deserted villages like this outside the Qinling Mountains. Most of them relied on the mountains to make a living by hunting. But as time went by, some people chose to go to the city to seek a more stable job, and gradually became deserted until they were gone.
After Hou Mo Chenjing brought people to him, he first ordered people to patrol the village, and then settled down on the spot when he knew there was nothing abnormal.
Since chasing Nan, Hou Mo and Chen Jing have seen too many shocking scenes.
The people who have been pacified for decades probably never thought that one day the Rouran cavalry would descend from the sky and carry out an inhumane massacre on them.
Yes, no one could have thought, but that was how it really happened.
As the night gradually came up, the troops also set up camp step by step. Hou Mo Chenjing and several deputy sat around the bonfire, and several people watched the bonfire and no one spoke.
The journey and anxiety over the past few days have also turned Hou Mo Chenjing into a sloppy man with a beard. Although he is not clumsy at first, he looks particularly vicissitudes at this moment.
After a long time, Hou Mo Chenjing stared at the bonfire and said slowly, "We will turn back after tonight. The possibility of Rouran being there will be even smaller when we go south."
Several deputy just nodded after hearing this. The past few days have really suffered their physical and mental health.
Seeing that several people didn't say anything, Hou Mo Chenjing said, "What are you doing softly? You haven't died, so why are you so angry?"
After Hou Mo Chen Jing finished speaking, a deputy asked a question he had wanted to ask a long time ago, "General, why did we reach this point?"
Yes, why did you worship me?
In fact, it was not only them, but even Hou Mo Chen Jing wanted to ask, but he couldn't say that because he was the chief general.
Hou Mo Chenjing cursed when he heard this, "If you lose, you will lose. There are no so many reasons. You are still alive, and I am still alive. Are you still afraid of those thieves Rouran?
Several of the deputy were scolded so hard that they dared not speak.
Hou Mo and Chen Jing knew that everyone was holding their anger now and needed a fierce battle to solve it, and he himself was the same.
Today's bonfire is destined to be silent, only the sound of firewood burning echoes around.
The night gradually surged, and the troops were patrolling back and forth in the place where the troops set up camp. Even Hou Mo Chenjing tried to send out a group of scouts.
At night, Hou Mo Chenjing, who couldn't sleep, took on the heavy responsibility of patrol with the patrol team. He had not patrolled himself for many years since he was promoted, and the members of the patrol team were flattered.
After leaving Chuanyun Pass and heading south, Tang Mu's troops deliberately divided the team into ten teams, each with one thousand people.
Tang Mu knew that although the ten thousand people on his side were not weak, they could not fight a head-on battle in the hinterland of the Great Wei.
Therefore, after dispersing, it can be easier to bypass the Wei army's sight, and it can also provide greater possibilities for one's own side to escape in the future.
The ten teams were not only separated but also scattered very widely, but their respective results were completely left to fate.
If it weren't forcing him, Tang Mu wouldn't have been willing to make such a bad decision. In the team, except Yuan Zhen, he himself was not familiar with the Great Wei, so he seemed to be bumping into the crowd.
she
Since you have chosen this path, you have chosen a safe path in the most dangerous direction.
The village stationed by Hou Mo Chen Jing's tribe was once called Nong Qiao, but in fact, the Tang Mu tribe had just passed by not long ago.
The team of scouts sent by Hou Mo Chenjing was very close to Tang Mu's army, so the frustrated Hou Mo Chenjing must not know that there was a worried Tang Mu ahead.
In other words, Rouran has already made too much money in this battle, and now they are considering how to expand the results of the battle.
It was also a coincidence that Tang Mu and others could discover this group of Great Wei scouts in advance, and it was this incident that saved their lives.
Hou Mo Chenjing, who was idle, followed the patrol team to patrol outside the camp for a long time. There was nothing else in the night except for the occasional roar of wild beasts in the mountains and forests.
The soldiers on patrol were still young, but after this period of battles of all sizes, they all had a different sense of maturity on their faces.
Hou Mo Chenjing chatted with a few people while walking, asking where they were from, and asking them if they were afraid.
Young people are passionate about the world and say they are not afraid at all.
In this way, the group completed the patrol.
Finally, Hou Mo Chen Jing waved to the few people, but he himself did not go back.
In fact, just as the patrol was about to end, Hou Mo and Chen Jing suddenly thought of something that had been ignored all the time.
The general's reaction to this result and the court's reaction were not particularly large. Logically speaking, the situation on the front line was so bad that the emperor could directly hold the chief general accountable. Even if it was not suitable for changing commanders at the last minute during the war, the time is enough now.
In addition, Hou Mo and Chen Jing also forgot his good brother Gao Huan, who is ignorant of life and death. He hopes that Gao Huan will be safe now.
He doesn't want to think about some things, but he can't think about some things.
Hou Mo Chenjing was completely sleepy at this moment. He stood outside the camp and looked up at the moon in the sky. Everything was confused like the mist beside the moonlight, making people unable to see the true face of the moon.
Hou Mo Chenjing sat on the ground under the moon, and such peace gave him a rare rest.
Hou Mo Chenjing subconsciously supported his hands and wanted to tilt his body, but when his hands touched the ground, he seemed to feel something touching his palm. He grabbed the thing and found that it turned out to be a sci-fi dagger with a simple and exquisite shape.
It is not surprising that there are daggers in such a wilderness, but this type of object is obviously not something that ordinary people can have.
Hou Mo Chenjing pulled out his dagger, and a cold feeling came to his face against the moonlight.
On the sword, Hou Mo and Chen Jing also found several Hu people's words. Although he couldn't understand it, he knew that the group of Rouran people must have passed by here.
Seeing this, Hou Mo Chen Jing was not delaying, so he took the dagger and rushed towards the direction of the tent.
When he returned to the camp, Hou Mo and Chen Jing's first thing was to re-summon several deputy.
Because the situation was sudden, several deputy were looking at each other when they arrived at the camp.
Hou Mo Chenjing didn't say anything, and directly placed the dagger in front of several people.
Seeing this, several people looked at the dagger carefully and asked, "General, where did you get this dagger?"
These people are not stupid either. Judging from the way Hou Mo Chenjing did before and after, these people thought something important had happened.
Hou Mo Chenjing heard this and said, "I picked it up by chance while patrolling outside the camp. You have also seen it. Most people don't have such a dagger."
"General, do you mean that Rouran people really have transited, they were accidentally staying?"
Hou Mo Chenjing said: "From my judgment, this is very likely. Has any scouts sent out come back?"
"The first five-man team of scouts has returned, but nothing has been found and there is no special movement. General, should you arrange for the subsequent scout detectives to be careful?"
Hou Mo Chenjing waved his hand and said, "No need for now. If they were close, we would have been alarmed. Wait for a moment, and wait for the feedback from the subsequent waves of scouts. However, according to the current situation,
We cannot return tomorrow, so we have to keep moving forward.”
Upon hearing this, a deputy said, "General, I still can't believe that Rourans dare to do this? What's the difference between going southwest and seeking death?"
Hou Mo Chenjing said: "They have now entered the Great Wei Dynasty and have achieved the purpose of plundering everywhere. Whether they can go or go anywhere is a question. This Rouran army was led by Yu Jiulu Princess Yu Jiulu Rongzhi. This person had only brought a few people to the city and dared to go deep into Kangzhu City. She made such a risky decision."
After Hou Mo and Chen Jing finished speaking, the rest of the people fell into deep thought. In the eyes of the people, Yu Jiulu Rongzhi not only wanted to escape from the Great Wei, but also wanted to make another difference before leaving.
Seeing that the few people were silent, Hou Mo Chenjing said again: "Although Yu Jiulu Rongzhi is a woman, it is definitely not simple, and don't forget that the Rouran hidden sword man is under her. If they are really ahead, then there will definitely be masters in their team. Our three thousand people are likely not opponents."
"We still have to take action if we are not an opponent. As long as there is a big noise, Rouran's people will definitely not be able to escape."
Hou Mo Chenjing nodded after hearing this, "We cannot avoid it, we must also rush forward. According to the calculations, Yu Jiulurongzhi still has at least 10,000 people in his hands."
Speaking of this, Hou Mo and Chen Jing did not continue to say anything, because everyone understood the meaning.
"General, Yuan Zhen is also in the Rouran team. What if we meet him?"
"It would be best if he could be escorted back to Luoyang alive. If it doesn't work, then kill him on the spot. Now he doesn't have any experts to protect him, so don't keep his hands as long as he encounters it."
Yuan Zhen, for Hou Mo Chenjing and others, this is a name that will never be forgotten.
———
Tang Mu had just missed it with the Great Wei scout, but soon Tang Mu found that the dagger he had been carrying was gone.
Tang Mu confirmed several times and finally concluded that the dagger was lost on the road.
