Chapter 960: Waiting for the Rabbit
Listening to what Su Dingfang said, Xia Hongsheng smiled and nodded, and said, "Not bad." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info just wants to separate the Heavenly Pillar King and Murong Shun. The King of Tianzhu is now the most powerful king of Tuyuhun, and Murong Shun is dissatisfied because the King of Tianzhu instigated Fu Yun not to appoint him as the crown prince. The contradiction between the two has actually been going on for a long time! ”
Su Dingfang said happily: "That's why the deputy chief manager just said that, and untied those Murong Shun's people, and entertained them with good food and drink, which was deliberately shown to others." If they had a chance to escape, they would definitely go back to find Fu Yun and King Tianzhu, and inform them that Murong Shun was secretly colluding with the Tang Dynasty. Hehe, the deputy manager is wonderful! These Tuyuhun people already like to release the captured Han people as prey for fun, and now that the deputy governor is doing the same, they don't think much about it. secretly let a few go, and following them can not only find the location of Fu Yun and the Heavenly Pillar King, but also make the Heavenly Pillar King and Fu Yun and Murong Shun separate. In this way, there is an opportunity. ”
After listening to the conversation between Su Dingfang and Xia Hongsheng, some people around showed such a look, and some people suddenly realized that they understood.
After a while, Li Yexu turned back and said with a smile: "Deputy Chief Qiqi, everything has been arranged!" Come to think of it, the deputy chief manager wanted to deliberately let go of a few famous Tuyuhun kings under the pretext of hunting, and let them go back to tell Fu Yun that the famous kings who had a good relationship with Murong Shun had received special favor in the entire Tang army, right? ”
Xia Hongsheng nodded, although this product is a good thing on weekdays, but on the serious field, he is also very clever and reliable.
"In this case, Lao Su went out in person and did something more presentable." Su Dingfang sneered and said, "If you don't shoot a few, how can you convince them?" ”
After saying that, he grabbed the horse's belly and chased the horse out with people.
"Where is the history of the army, quickly take people to count the seized materials, dry food and water must be collected, and the horses are all worthy of the former army. After that, all the horses surrendered were given priority to the front army, so that they could reach one man and two horsemen as soon as possible. Xia Hongsheng sent Su Dingfang out, then turned around and ordered: "As for the injured horse who can't continue to charge...... Chop the horses and take the meat, give the soldiers a full meal, and if there is a surplus, make it into dried meat and carry it. ”
The army was busy but methodically carrying out post-war inventory and rest.
About an hour, Su Dingfang came back with someone.
Dozens of famous kings, more than half of them were captured, three or four were shot, and five or six were released.
Xia Hongsheng knew that being merciful to the enemy was cruel to himself. Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew in his heart that shooting a few would make those who escaped more convinced. It's just that it didn't come out of his mouth, but it was realized by Su Dingfang's hand, and his heart would be easier.
"The five or six people who let go have already sent scouts to follow. Scouts leave markers, and the army only has to follow them. After Su Dingfang came back, he said to Xia Hongsheng.
Xia Hongsheng nodded: "Our spies must have followed Fu Yun all the way, and they must be thinking of ways to inform us of Fu Yun's location." It's just that we have been chasing for days, and there is no fixed place, and the spies don't know where we are at this time. If these people can go back, the spy will know where we're gone and try to get in touch. ”
"It's a pity that the wind is not in the right direction, otherwise you can release a hot air balloon. The wind is so strong here, the hot air balloon must fly faster than the horse. Su Dingfang shook his head and sighed: "Then, you can catch up with Fu Yun from the sky and know his location." ”
Xia Hongsheng smiled dumbly, don't you let the people inside come down?
The number of horses that were injured to the point of not continuing the pursuit was not too much, and after the army commander reported the number to Xia Hongsheng, Xia Hongsheng gritted his teeth and simply ordered them all to be killed and boiled into broth, which was enough for the soldiers to eat a full meal of broth. Although there is not much meat in it, it is much better than only being willing to dry food for several days.
The days of the pursuit were very hard, and such a well-drunk broth might be able to relieve the soldiers' mood.
Before drinking the broth, the military song was sung as usual, and then Xia Hongsheng ordered to suspend the pursuit and sleep for the night.
After days and nights, they only slept for a few hours a day, and the soldiers were really tired.
Just one night, early the next morning, the soldiers hurried on the road again, and pursued along the way.
The spies searched for the scout's mark, guiding the army to follow the scout's mark. Xia Hongsheng deliberately slowed down the speed of some pursuits, so as to prevent those Tuyuhun kings from realizing that they were being followed and change their paths.
After chasing like this, another seven or eight days passed in the blink of an eye.
But I don't know what happened to Duan Zhixuan's South Road.
Su Dingfang's previous army, because of the last encounter, plus the remnants of Tuyuhun who caught up along the way, a total of 100 war horses, Xia Hongsheng gave all these war horses to Su Dingfang's front army elite cavalry. Among these elite horses, he picked out a hundred people, gave them these war horses, and then asked Xi Junmai to lead these hundred people with one person and two horsemen to pursue first.
One person and two horses, the load-bearing horse is tired, so the other horse is loaded, so the roller skating alternates, the speed of the pursuit is greatly accelerated, and the hundred-numbered people can catch up with the remnants of the army at the fastest speed to intercept, so that the rear army can catch up and cover up.
And so he pursued for more than ten days, and saw a high mountain in the distance.
Before they reached the bottom of the mountain, they already found signs of water. Xia Hongsheng was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the whole army to speed up.
There are people in the army who are familiar with Tuyuhun and follow the army as guides.
Xia Hongsheng summoned him and asked about the situation.
"Back to the deputy chief, if the last general is not mistaken, this should be Jishi Mountain." The man said.
"Where can you go north and south in the past?" Xia Hongsheng asked again.
The man thought for a while, and then replied, "If you go back to the deputy governor, if you go south here, it will be a land of no man's land for thousands of miles, and in the past no man's land, you can go to Wuhai." To the north, you can reach the end, and after the end of the moraine, you can enter the moraine, and the moraine can reach Khotan in the past. ”
"Where did the scout's marker go?" Xia Hongsheng turned his head and asked.
"Go back to the deputy chief and go south." The next general replied.
Xia Hongsheng thought for a while and said with a smile: "Okay, let's chase north and wait for them at the end." ”
"To the north?" Su Dingfang frowned and asked, "The mark is obviously to the south, why do we want to go north?" ”
Xia Hongsheng said with a smile: "The chief manager has an order, if Fu Yun goes north, we will pursue Fu Yun, if Fu Yun goes south, we will cut off Fu Yun's way to the north, so that he can't go north." Now that Fu Yun has fled south, he must know that we are chasing after him. Nandao's own army of governors came head-on, and Fu Yun couldn't dodge. Once Fu Yun's entire south road was defeated by the soldiers and horses of the chief governor, he must know that the south road was impassable, so he could only continue to turn back to the north. To the north of Jishi Mountain, you can only go to the end. We're just waiting for him there, waiting for the rabbit! (To be continued.) )
