Chapter Eighty-Seven: Reaching the Top

"Da Dan Yu, Zuo Dadu Lieutenant and King Huqiang have never been on good terms. The fact that they were able to breathe out of one nostril today proves that they are really hard to do. If the persecution is too much at this time, it may unsettle the generals. According to the slave maid, it is still necessary to suspend the offensive ahead. ”

The fall of night calmed down the military minister Shan Yu a little, and at this time he was roasting a leg of lamb while listening to the persuasion of Zhongxing Yue.

"The back road has been blocked, and you don't see it. It is impossible to rush through, and if the road ahead is no longer passable. We're going to be trapped here alive, and you think I'm willing to let those warriors die? The military minister said with a dissatisfied face.

"Da Danyu, the minions have made people detect the entire valley. Luckily, he found a path on the edge of a cliff, and the servant ordered someone to climb up and investigate it while it was dark. It is estimated that the news will come back in an hour or two. ”

"Really?"

The military minister stood up, and the leg of mutton in his hand fell into the charcoal brazier. Kicking up a large cloud of dust, the military ministers were coughing for a while.

"Wait a while for my guards to come back, and the minions will report to Da Danyu."

"Okay, let King Huqiang and Zuo Dawei stop. Don't sacrifice those needless warriors, if Zhongxingyue escapes this time. You take the first credit. ”

The military minister was overjoyed, and ordered someone to bring another leg of mutton. changed the brazier, and also rewarded the Bank of China Yue.

Sure enough, an hour or so, Zhongxingyue's guards came back to report.

"Da Shan Yu, this is really a small road. However, the minions climbed up in the darkness of the night and found that the path was very narrow. In many places, only two horsemen can be accommodated, and there are Han troops stationed on the mountains. Those Han soldiers were also dressed in red armor. There are also feathers on his head. But he doesn't seem to be very old, and his defense is very lax. ”

Since Zhongxingyue is Han, most of his guards are also Han. The person in front of him was selected by Zhongxingyue from the Han people who had plundered, and after being given preferential treatment, he had become a diehard loyalist of Zhongxingyue.

"Good, good. Zhongxingyue, I will hand over the guards to you. You lead them to kill the Han Emperor's own soldiers. Our life and death are here to go. ”

"No, the minion takes the order."

Zhong Xingyue saluted the military minister, and then withdrew.

"Drumming. Gather all the princes to come. ”

After the Bank of China Yue withdrew. The military minister ordered Shan Yu.

Perhaps the casualties were too heavy, and the Huns stopped their fearless pit filling operations. The whole army withdrew into the valley shrouded in darkness, and Yun Xiao stood on the post. Looking at the Hun army camp in the shadows, only the figures around the firelight could be seen shaking in the telescope. But I couldn't see what I was doing.

"Let the brothers rest. Three-bow bed crossbow hurried to replace the crossbow string. Let Yulin send someone to monitor it. Prevent the Huns from taking advantage of the darkness to engage in the east and west. ”

"No"

Yun Xiao stood and watched for a long time. See that there is really nothing. So he got into the carriage, ate some jerky, and rested for a while.

"General, you listened to Taniguchi's rumbling for an afternoon. The guards of the Yun family must have killed a lot of Huns. Aren't you also from the Yun family? Tell Master Hou about changing places for our brothers. Staying in this place where birds don't, you won't be able to catch any military merits. ”

A Yulin captain ran in front of Wei Qing and complained. Although Wei Qing was not officially dismissed as a general, everyone knew his relationship with His Majesty the Emperor. Relying on this relationship, it is a matter of time before you become a general. So in private, everyone called General Wei Qing. Over time, Wei Qing also got used to it.

"Don't make a lot of noise, go and make a round. Since Master Hou asked us to come here to guard, there is a reason to come here to guard. ”

Wei Qing said on his lips, but he was unwilling in his heart. The victory of the previous days had completely overwhelmed the heads of these hairy children, and in their eyes the Huns were nothing more than weak and deceitful creatures like sheep. There is no North Sergeant at all, as cunning and ferocious as a wolf.

For not being able to cut off people's heads to accumulate military merits, Wei Qing has a deep resentment. But Yun Xiao's order he definitely didn't dare to disobey, so he could only stay and wait in the place where the birds didn't.

"General, what are you inspecting? If you look at this road, the Huns rode in parallel at most. Rushing up like this, isn't this our target? Besides, there are so many triangular nails sprinkled on the road. Even if someone touches it, we can hear it.

Hey, it's such a dark day. If you step on the triangular nails, you will definitely fall to the bottom of the cliff. It's hard not to break into a patty. ”

This Captain Lin has always played well with Wei Qing, and he looked down as he spoke. The height of thirty or forty feet made him retract his head again.

"Hmm......" Wei Qing sniffled, and he smelled a smell of wine. It is the steamed wine of the Yun family, and the milk wine of Donghu and the muddy wine of the Han people do not have such a strong aroma.

Wei Qing followed the smell to the temporary camp and found that many soldiers were leaning against the fire, and groups of three and five were drinking steamed wine. Many of the campfires were roasted with sheep from nowhere.

"Who told you to make a fire? This would expose our goals. ”

Wei Qing casually whipped a guy with his back against him. The guy hit a spirit, and one was that Wei Qing hurriedly smiled and said, "General, the night in the Western Regions is too cold." The brothers didn't dare to sleep, so they had to drink two sips. The wine was bought by the brothers from the Qiang people, and the sheep were used to buy wine. General, you also take a bite, the naΓ―ve and evil nature of the Western Regions is still hot and hot during the day. At night, it was shivering from the cold. ”

This lieutenant is also a good stutterer, and hurriedly ordered someone to find a clean wine bowl and fill a large bowl of steamed wine.

The Qiang people had won a great victory last night, and Tuduo begged Yunxiao to reward them with some wine. Yun Xiao didn't think much about it, so he gave them some. Unexpectedly, these Yulin boys were all worth a lot of money, and the two captains were stunned to find Tuduo and spend money to buy most of the wine rewarded by Yun Xiao.

Tuduo knew that these things made of copper could be exchanged for a lot of things in the Han Realm. The sackcloth iron pot is a rare object of the Qiang people, and these yellow and clear copper can be exchanged. He agreed to the deal, and gave a lot of sheep as an add-on, anyway, these sheep were also captured by the Huns.

A group of lieutenants surrounded him, and before Wei Qing could continue to be angry, they came up to toast with a smile.

Raise your hand and don't hit the smiling person, and besides, I haven't even seen a single figure after staying here for an afternoon. Wei Qing also sat down half-pushed, and the captain who was whipped immediately cut off a sheep's hind leg and handed it to Wei Qing as if offering a treasure.

Bonfires were everywhere in the camp, and bursts of laughter were heard from time to time. There are a few people with good voices, and they roared twice with the strength of the wine. provoked a lot of applause, and it is understandable that young people love to mess around. It's just that they are playing in the wrong place, and this mistake will be paid for with the blood of many people.

Under the sparse moon and stars, two black shadows walked slowly on the sheep intestine path. They hunched over and picked up something from the ground from time to time. It looks like they are planting seedlings, but if Wei Qing sees what they picked up at this time, he will definitely regret it and die, and he will never drink again in his life.

The triangular nails were picked up one by one and put into the bag, and Zhongxing Yue thought very thoughtfully, he was afraid that these triangular nails would make a noise under the cliff and alarm the people on the cliff.

Behind him were Da Danyu's elite guards, all of whom were warriors selected by each tribe. The hooves of the horses under their crotches were covered in sheepskin, and they landed on the ground with only a small sound.

Behind the two people who picked up the triangular nails were Da Shan Yu's personal guards. They all had daggers made of fine iron in their mouths, and their bodies were pressed against the cliffs. Step by step, the king moved, and by midnight they were very close to the top of the cliff.

In the distance, drums were heard from time to time in the Hun camp, and there were only two Yulin guards at the top of the cliff.

"Big brother, they are all drinking wine and eating meat. But it's not fair to let us watch it. Could it be that we were raised by our stepmother? ”

"They are all meritorious children, just a few of us are sons of military households. Thanks to the grace of His Majesty XiΓ  to this issue of the Gate Feather Forest, forget this trip back to the Majesty XiΓ  said that there is no reward. It's only serious to put a few acres of land in your home, don't think about it. Those people are not what we can compare to. ”

"I heard that General Wei is a disciple of Hou Ye, right? I also heard that Yun Hou Ye founded Lanxiang Technical School in Lintong. The students who came out there, and all the merchants rushed to ask for it. I received a lot of money, and I wanted to sign up for Lanxiang Technical School when I went back, and I heard that they had the best excavator teaching there. ”

"You're stupid, don't do it well. To be an inferior pariah, you know that the period gate Yulin is the emperor's pro-army. In the future, you will be an official, no better than you driving an excavator to dig wells. ”

The two brothers were talking enthusiastically, and two dark shadows had quietly appeared behind them. Two large hands covered their mouths almost simultaneously, and the cold dagger ran down their necks.

The knife was so hard that most of his neck was almost wiped off. Blood gushed out like a spring, and the two Hun guards didn't care about the blood splattering on their faces. Lunge forward and knock the two to the ground.

Although the neck was broken, the two still had violent convulsions. The two Hun men pressed the two of them to death, and they didn't let the two make a sound. A hundred paces away from them, there were piles of bonfires, and teenagers drinking merrily.

After a while, the two people under them stopped moving. The two Hun guards learned the two night owl calls, and Zhong Xingyue was so excited that he almost jumped up when he heard these two calls, but he didn't expect to succeed so lightly.

With a wave of his hand, the elite Hun iron cavalry rushed up quickly along the mountain road. They want to go up as many people as possible before the Han army reacts. As long as the top of the cliff is held, more and more Huns will climb it. This mortal dilemma was solved.

A Yulin lieutenant took a large sip of wine, and hurriedly ran out to vomit when he was overwhelmed. Suddenly, he saw a hundred and ten more horses on the edge of the cliff. (To be continued......)
