My companion is a bit fierce

The treetops in the south have begun to spit green, and the north wind is still blowing in Mobei.

There was a faint smell of blood outside Yunguan, and occasionally black vultures flew down to peck at the unswept corpses.

Xiaobai's eyes were sharp, and he flew in from the outside, saw other birds in its territory, looked bigger than it and didn't hesitate, immediately screamed, with a fierce look in his eyes, eager to try.

"Come back!" Rong Jue stood on the tower and saw this scene, and shouted loudly, "Xiaobai, come back!"

Being yelled by Rong Jue, Xiaobai had no choice but to yell out unwillingly, flapping his wings and going back.

"Since Xiaobai came here, he has been a lot more aggressive." Seeing this scene, Meng Wenbin smiled when he remembered Xiaobai's appearance before.

"It's a lot fiercer, and my temper has become stronger." Rong Jue has some headaches. Vultures are fond of carcasses, and they are the largest raptors on the grassland. Although they often act alone, they occasionally flock together.Xiaobai is still far behind them, and he is so bold as to challenge them.

Don't look back, not even a hair is left.

Xu was seriously injured by Rong Xu, and the Xiongnu lost their vigor. In the past few days, the Huns only divided into small groups to harass them. with.

The two walked back to the city together, and Yunguan was under martial law. Soldiers, doctors, or cooks and grooms came and went.Mobei is different from other places. There is no mandatory corvee, and more civilians are allowed to join the army voluntarily. Therefore, these people basically come here with enthusiasm. Even if it is just a craftsman who repairs weapons, he will not be forced to be contemptuous.

"I think the Xiongnu don't seem to want to continue the fight. They don't have enough food and grass to support them." Meng Wenbin said as he walked, "Since the arrival of the prince, the morale of the army has been high, and there have been no casualties. Everyone has relaxed a lot. .”

Rong Jue hugged Xiaobai in his arms, and pressed its head that kept poking out: "Why don't we go to explore again tonight?"

There is an old scout beside Dai Yan, very experienced, and he will follow Dai Yan when he leaves.Rong Jue wanted to hurry up and learn more.

"That's right, General Dai is leaving tomorrow." Meng Wenbin wanted to laugh again when he saw Xiaobai probing his head, "It's good to go to explore tonight, so that General Dai can leave with peace of mind."

Rong Jue nodded and patted Xiaobai's head: "Stop making trouble, study hard tonight."

The old scout is also a bird-knowledger, and he gave Rong Jue a few pointers before, which made Xiaobai work a lot harder.

While the two were talking, they saw Dai Yan walking out of the tent calmly and striding like a meteor.

"The prince and Wen Bin are here." Dai Yan saw the two of them, turned another corner, and walked back with them.Rong Jue talked about going out to investigate tonight.

After Cong Rongjue arrived at Yunguan, the Xiongnu seemed to have plans to retreat, so they sent some people over, and when they saw the people coming, they hurried away again.

Although it is a good thing that there are no casualties, if they let them go on like this, the confidence brought by Rong Jue will soon be exhausted, and it will also make the soldiers lazy.In the long run, the harm outweighs the benefit.

Before the two sides fought, one side retreated first.I don't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourds of the Huns.

"The prince wants to go with Wen Bin alone?" Dai Yan asked, "I can't do this. The prince is here, you can ask him."

"Isn't it good to have your subordinates, are you worried about us or your subordinates?" Rong Jue smiled.

"I don't worry." Dai Yan said, "But the Huns are not vegetarian."

"The Xiongnu are not vegetarian?" Meng Wenbin looked surprised, "Don't they eat grass?"

A few people walked into the tent, Xie Liu on the side just heard this, and rolled his eyes: "I'm sorry, you guys are joking, this is in the army, so be more serious."

Meng Wenbin puffed up his face, closed his mouth tightly, and looked towards Rong Jue.

Rong Jue felt that Xie Liu would definitely not agree, so he shook his head slightly.

——Wait for Rong Xu to come back and talk to him in private.

Xie Liu was busy and didn't see the small movements of the two of them, but asked Dai Yan: "Isn't the general busy, why are you back?"

Rong Jue didn't speak, Dai Yan spoke for him.

The two had no choice but to stand at attention and bow their heads, waiting to be scolded by Xie Liu.

Xie Liu heard what Dai Yan said, and frowned: "General Dai is right, and that's what I'm worried about. The Xiongnu are coming in menacingly. If so, I don't know how to live the next year. How could they retreat like this."

The Huns have nothing to eat, and Mobei cannot be safe.Everyone can't get enough to eat, so it's natural to think about hard fists.

Xie Liu asked himself, if he could carry a gun and mount a horse, maybe he led people to rob the Xiongnu. ,

"Actually, it's not that you are not allowed to go, but I am just worried that there will be an ambush." ​​Xie Liu sighed helplessly seeing the two of them honestly, "The Huns are not pretending to be stupid, and they still don't know what their intentions are, my lord. Don’t dare to move forward.”

These days, Rong Xu spends more time on farming affairs. Several prefectures near the Lingjiang River will soon be able to farm, and then Mobei can breathe a sigh of relief.

"Testing is still necessary, but you can only go to one," Xie Liu said before the two of them could speak, "No snatching is allowed, it's decided by drawing lots."

The two drew lots as required, and the result was Rong Jue.

"Then let the son go with him tonight." Xie Liu said, "Wen Bin will follow General Dai to tour Ningguan from here tomorrow."

"Do you want to tell your father?" Rong Jue looked at Xie Liu.

"Of course, I'll go. Just be careful tonight." Xie Liu comforted Dai Yan, "Don't worry, General. Didn't Shizi still bring his bird with him? That bird is about to mature, so there's nothing to be afraid of. .”

Xiaobai heard that, after pretending to be dead in Rong Jue's arms for a long time, he finally regained his energy, jumped out of his arms, jumped onto Xie Liu's table and walked around twice.

Seeing Xiaobai's energy, Dai Yan nodded in agreement. He praised Xiaobai a few words, then turned around and went out to work again.

"That's it." Xie Liu packed up his things and planned to transfer some paperwork to him for safekeeping, "Please take your bird away, sir, it's too noisy."

Going out to visit the Huns tonight, Rong Jue hurriedly prepared to go with Xiao Bai who was despised by Xie Liu.Meng Wenbin looked at Xie Liu, hesitated to speak, dawdled and refused to leave.

Xie Liu pretended not to be able to see it, and when he finished the task at hand yesterday, he raised his eyes to look at Meng Wenbin: "What's wrong, you're not reconciled?"

Meng Wenbin came to Yunguan with Meng Liren early in the morning, and also participated in small battles, but he was basically in the rear. Although he was brave, he still couldn't make it to the front.

The men in Mobei are so passionate, since they have come to Yunguan, how can they go back without mentioning the two Huns?

Xie Liu knew what he was thinking without having to look, chuckled lightly, and asked, "Do you think Ningguan is peaceful?"

Originally, the barbarians were only sneaky, and they hadn't moved for many years.

Meng Wenbin only dared to say this in his heart.With Rong Xu gone, Xie Liu is No. 1 in this army.

Although Xie Liu didn't dare to take it too seriously, his words were indeed very important, and generally no one objected to what he said.

Xie Liu: "If the Xiongnu can't capture Mobei, where do you think they will go?"

Of the nine gates in Mobei, eight gates were built to resist the Huns, and only Ningguan was built for barbarians.

Manjin is located in the west of Daqi, and the climate is similar to that in the south of Lingjiang River. It is estimated that it will be better than their Mobei.If the Xiongnu can't get good things here, they might go there.

Meng Wenbin: "The barbarian gold is in trouble, shall we send troops to help?"

"Don't help, let them fight internally. Just don't let them rush in." Xie Liu patted Meng Wenbin's strong arm, "General Dai is not young, so take care of him more. This is what your father meant, he also I just hope you get well."

===

The night at Yunguan is quiet, with a full moon hanging high in the sky, surrounded by clouds and mist, covering most of the light.The night is foggy, and the stars and the moon have also become hazy.

A small group of people came out of Yunguan quietly, riding the wind, and rushed to the distance quickly.

It took more than half an hour for the crowd to reach the camp of the Huns.

Several people found a small hillside to hide.The old scout squinted his eyes and looked into the distance: "There are quite a lot of people. About before, a replacement came to harass us."

Rong Jue pinched you Xiaobai: "Shall I let Xiaobai go out for a walk first?"

"Don't worry," the old scout said in a low voice. "This time, we mainly want to find out how many people they have and how long they can last. Be careful, everyone, and don't startle the snakes."

Old scout: "The Xiongnu came here this time with Zuo Xianwang Wuda, which shows how much they attach importance to Yunguan. Wuda is a ruthless character, ruthless and merciless, even daring to kill his stepmother and several younger brothers."

King Zuoxian is a noble title, second only to Shanyu in the status of princes of the Xiongnu, and usually the prince holds this position.Uda was ruthless, and everyone was fearful. He ruled the army very strictly, and he invaded other passes many times, and gained nothing.

Wu Da acted like this, Shan Yu also indulged him to do things, thinking that this son had the demeanor of his youth.

The old scout grinned: "This time Wuda came to Yunguan, we have to let him know that our Mobei elite is not as weak as he thought, and he attacked by surprise before, this time we must let him know how powerful it is!"

After making arrangements, several people slowly walked into the vicinity of the Huns' tent through the night.Quietly bypassing the guards, disguised, and sneaked in from behind without anyone noticing.

Scouts actually have a lot to do. In addition to scouting out the enemy, they also need to map the terrain, and when necessary, steal important letters or serve as assassins.

According to the old scout's arrangement, the most important thing tonight is to find out how many of them there are.

Dark clouds covered the bright moon, and the earth was pitch black.

Rong Jue hid himself, dodged all the patrolling guards, and went around to the back of the camp.
