Chapter 257: Return
"Hurry, hurry!"
In the Qinling Mountains, Lu Fei was commanding the soldiers to pry open the stones in the cave that were firmly stuck to the cement, and in order to prevent the barbarians from passing through the cave, the fifty-meter-long cave was all blocked by him with stones. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Now it will take much longer to smash it open again than it did before.
On the outside of the cave was a group of 500 soldiers, but the cave was so narrow that only one person could knock stones inside, and no one else could do anything about it.
"Damn, I knew I wouldn't have blocked it so tightly, how long would it take." Lu Fei complained.
Xiao Ming and Zhan Xingchang also arrived at the scene, and it will take at least two days to get through according to this progress.
"Don't be idle day and night, be sure to do it as soon as possible."
Xiao Ming frowned.
When the soldiers heard this, they smashed it with a sledgehammer, and when one soldier got tired, the other soldier changed and continued to smash.
At this time, Niu Ben had already led people into the Qinling Mountains.
According to the location written in the bag, he led his soldiers around the mountains, and it was only at night that he faintly heard the sound of tapping.
"Your Highness is opening the cave."
Niu Ben was overjoyed, but now that it was dark, they could not go to look for it, and they did not dare to make a fire for light, because the barbarians must be patrolling outside the mountain.
This time, they have run out of dry food and are now starving in the mountains.
Hiding in the mountains and forests, Niu Ben looked at a few cold stars in the sky, looking worried, only hoping that the barbarians would not know where this cave was.
……
Outside the Shanhai Pass, the Huyantuo tribe, which once dominated Youzhou, could only retreat on a barren grassland outside the city.
In the first battle of Cangzhou, the Huyantuo tribe suffered heavy losses, and the loss of most of the troops made the Huyantuo tribe a low-status tribe in the Golden Horde.
And it was Pei Shan who caused all this.
In the middle of the night, Gurtai looked at the rich grasslands that once belonged to him in the south, and his heart tingled.
"Father, I heard that an army from the Great Chongqing Kingdom entered the grassland, and seven or eight small tribes of the Blood Wolf Tribe were slaughtered." Gultai's son, Batu, walked in with schadenfreude on his face.
"How do you know this?" A gleam flashed in Gurtai's eyes, he couldn't resist Bei Shan, but he was happy to know that the Blood Wolf Tribe under Bei Shan's command had suffered.
"It was said by a caravan out of the city, and now Chagatai is in a hurry, and a large number of cavalry have been sent to search, but there is no trace of it until now." "And now many flag commanders are afraid that their tribes will become the next target, so they refuse to send troops to attack Cangzhou." ”
Gultai laughed when he heard this, this is the best news in this time.
"Hmph, Chagatai deserves to humiliate me so much in Shengdu!" Gultai scolded.
Batu smiled, his father hadn't been so happy for a long time, he said: "But this King of Qi is really bold, isn't he afraid that Chagatai will cut off the back road of his cavalry, this cavalry has always been a treasure in the Great Yu Kingdom." ”
Gurtai's eyes flickered, and he frowned, "Maybe this King of Qi is really not afraid, because there is still a way to enter Cangzhou." ”
"Another way?" Batu was shocked.
Gurtai nodded, "That's right, the Wang family in Qingzhou once sent someone to tell me that there is a natural cave in the mountains outside Cangzhou City that can enter Cangzhou, and then I sent people into Cangzhou to explore the way, but no one came back." ”
"Later, the Wang family seemed to get a lot of advantages from this King of Qi, and they kept delaying sending people to guide the way, and then later, this Wang family was destroyed by the King of Qi, and now I only know that there is a cave in this mountain, but I don't know where the cave is."
Batu was surprised: "Then why didn't my father send someone to look for him during the battle of Cangzhou." ”
"I found it, it's just a vast mountain, how can it be so easy, besides, it is said that the cave is extremely narrow, it can be said that one man is a man who can't open it, compared to attacking Cangzhou City, I am afraid it is more difficult to enter from this cave."
Batu nodded, and then woke up and said: "Father, do you say that this time the army of the Great Yu Kingdom will enter the grassland from this cave, if so, it will be difficult for Chagatai to detect, if so, do you want to inform Chagatai." ”
"Stupid!" Gurtai's eyes flickered, and then he said: "Bei Shan has always been ambitious, Da Tai Ji has always been dissatisfied with him, if it wasn't for Da Tai Ji interceding for us in front of the Khan this time, the two of us would have already fallen to the ground, now tell Chagatai them, isn't this helping the blood wolf tribe?" Helping the Blood Wolf Tribe is equivalent to helping Bei Shan, Da Taiji will definitely be angry, will there be a chance for you and me to survive at that time? ”
Batu was startled, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said, "What the father said is that the son is confused. ”
Gurtai said solemnly: "Only you and my father and son know about this matter, no one should say it, those cavalry in Qingzhou can't do anything about Chagatai, it's just to tickle him, I think this time the Great Yu Kingdom is so risky must be for the new city wall, hmph, now we have a good show, just see how he Chagatai can get anything good in Cangzhou?" Now he is probably angry. ”
Hearing this, Batu smiled evilly and nodded.
Just as Gurtai thought, at this time Chagatai was in a hurry, he mobilized everyone to look for the two cavalry on the steppe, and sent people to cut off their back route, but so far they have not even found a figure.
"Rubbish, what a bunch of rubbish." Chagatai said angrily: "Block the city of Cangzhou within a radius of twenty miles, and even if you can't find it, let them starve to death on the grassland." ”
"Yes."
The flagheads left one after another, and they never imagined that Niu Ben was hiding in the Qinling Mountains at this time.
After all, it is not easy to hide an army of tens of thousands of people, but it is very simple for more than 1,000 people to hide in the mountains.
The next day, Niu Ben found the location of the cave, and stayed in the woods outside the cave for two days of cold and starvation, and on the morning of the third day, the stone at the entrance of the cave rolled with a familiar sound.
"Damn, it's finally through." Lu Fei wheeled and roared with a sledgehammer.
Raising his eyes, he saw Niu Ben in the woods, and said in surprise: "Dudu, I have finally found you." ”
Xiao Ming also walked out of the cave at this time, this is in the Qinling Mountains, there are still five mountains outside, and his eyes are full of dense pines and cypresses.
He smiled: "The old general has worked hard for you. ”
Niu Ben arched his hand and said: "It turns out that His Royal Highness has already calculated, and I thought that there would be no return this time, but unfortunately I could only throw the loot on the way this time." ”
"It's okay, the coming day will be long, and there will be hardships for the barbarians below." Xiao Ming said, "Old general, please come in." ”
Niu Ben nodded, and suddenly had a sense of luck that he would not die, and led his subordinates into the cave.
