Beigong was extremely angry, but fell into self-doubt.

If it weren't for the death of the Qiang leader commanding the vanguard, Beigong would have really wanted to drag him in front of him, and then scold him and ask what happened to make three thousand people fight one thousand people. In the end, let alone victory, even

I couldn't resist it for an hour...

The descriptions given by ordinary Qiang people are confusing and one-sided, and it is not clear what exactly happened. It seems that the Han people rushed up, and then the Qiang leader was killed, so everyone was in chaos and fled one after another.

That's all.

As for the details, many Qiang people stared blankly and had no idea. At most, they could describe Yun Er who killed the Qiang leader on the ground. Other aspects were really lacking.

Beigong looked up at the wolf smoke in the distance with a complicated expression.

At this moment, Beigong is like a man who has read 453 pirated copies of "The President Falls in Love with Me", "The Third Brother Gave Up the Country for Me" and other secret books, and then claims to be proficient in love for thirty years.

With six passwords and seventy-two postures, he was full of confidence as soon as he left the novice village. He bumped into Gao Wutong, a master of teasing, and he was immediately confused and at a loss.

Was there an ambush?

If so, where exactly is the ambush?

If there is no ambush, what is this beacon used for?

Should we continue the pursuit now?

How to fight if you catch up?

If you don’t pursue it, what should you do now?

Beigong's mind was full of these problems, but when he wanted to solve these problems, he found that he didn't know what to do better. The methods he learned from pirated books were of no use at all, or

He said he didn't know why this happened, nor did he know what the right approach was.

Beigong has actually always lived in his own world. He thinks he is very smart, but in fact his cleverness is just a little cleverness. It is enough to take advantage of the Qiang people, but now he has to deal with these things.

When it comes to big events, those little clever things can’t come to the fore.

Beigong thought that he could take advantage of chasing Gao Wutong and eat some Han soldiers and horses for nothing, so he came excitedly. But after he fell into the trap, he didn't even think about it. He just thought why it happened? Why?

Is there a trap here? I can’t understand it at all. In fact, the most important thing is not the trap, but Beigong’s own habit of taking advantage of others.

Just like the old saying, there are no pitfalls in the world, but there are many people who are greedy for cheap...

Then, the hesitant Beigong was shocked again by an urgent military report!

Noduze's retreat was attacked by the Han army!

Beigong suddenly realized at this moment that he could not continue to pursue like this, otherwise once he was stuck in this place, even if he defeated Gao Wutong, what would be the point? Could it be that he abandoned his foundation and ran all the way to the Western Regions?

What?

"Return to the army! We must join up with our friendly forces! Together we will destroy those Han Chinese who dare to challenge us!"

Beigong gritted his teeth and yelled viciously, trying to save some of his face and to get more recognition from the Qiang people for his actions. But really, everyone has an account in their mind...

Calculate sooner or later, sooner or later you will calculate.

On the other side, Beigong's long-cherished allies, the Qiang people from the snowy area, are gradually falling into another crisis.

In the snowy area, at the west sea, is the Linqiang camp.

"These guys have no plans to leave from here..." Yao Kehui lowered his head in front of Yang Fu and reported the report with a loyal face. He did not regard these Qiang people as his own at all, "These guys are preparing to leave from there."

Turn north into the mountains from Buzhuan Mountain, then turn eastward from Haidergang Mountain, and then you can reach Qilian Caohaizi, where you will do some repairs, then go northwest through Shixiamen, pass through Kazigou, and finally from

Chatiaogouzi is the closest to Zhangye... It is said that the vanguard has already set off, and it should be at Caohaizi in Qilian... or at Kazigou..."

Yang Fu frowned and looked at the map, "So, these people don't have to pass through Linqiang, and they don't have to go around Jincheng. They can pass through the Qilian Mountains and go directly to Zhangye?"

Yao Ke nodded and said, "Yes, that's true."

"Caohaizi in the Qilian Mountains..." Yang Fu tapped on the map, "Are there any original residents here?"

Yao Ke nodded and said: "There are indeed... but not many in number. They call themselves "Yao Ao'er"..."

In fact, this area was originally an unknown area, and it has never appeared on the map of the Han Dynasty, let alone in the history books. If it were not for the leading party like Yao Kehui, even in another hundred years, no Chinese would know about this area.

There is actually a large area of ​​alpine grassland in the Qilian Mountains.

"Well, "Yao Ao'er"..." Yang Fu pondered.

This is a brand new term, Yang Fu has never heard of it.

"If we go from Linqiang to Qilian Caohai, how should we do it?" Yang Fu asked.

Yao Ke shook his head and said, "We can't go here. We can only retreat to Xiping, then change the route to the north, pass Laoye Mountain, and then go in. We still have to walk through five slopes, and there are nearly seven or eight hundred miles of mountain roads in there."

...』

Yang Fu took a breath and hummed.

From this point of view, if we want to prevent the Qiang people in the West Sea from rushing to Zhangye, it is impossible to intercept them halfway, so the only option is to attack.

However, the Qiang people in the West Sea are also on guard. In order to ensure that they can enter the mountain safely, the Qiang people will definitely defend at the mountain pass to guard against Yang Fu's attack. A direct attack may not be able to achieve good results, so some strategies should be adopted.

…

The main reason is that the surrounding areas of the West Sea are all flat land and there is no danger to defend. Of course, there is no way to use any clever tricks, and there is no need to think about ambushes. After all, the Qiang people have no intention of leaving Linqiang.

Yang Fu thought for a long time and finally came up with a way...

The West Sea is extremely beautiful at night.

The huge sea foam glows with phosphorescence under the moonlight, and because the West Sea is actually a huge inland lake, the water surface is relatively calm. It is like stealing a large piece of night cover in the night, dotted with stars, reflecting each other above and below, and it is so beautiful.

.

In the Han Dynasty, because human activities were not very frequent, most of the rivers flowing into the West Sea were normal, so the water in the West Sea was not salty, and the surrounding aquatic plants were also very beautiful. Until the Tang Dynasty, because the Tubo people lived in the West Sea

Extensive grazing destroyed the vegetation here and gradually began to affect the water source of the West Sea.

Of course, in later generations, a large number of uncontrolled fishing activities caused the West Sea to gradually follow the footsteps of the Aral Sea. The water surface dropped at a rate of 12 centimeters per year.

In the middle and late second century, the West Sea will be like the Aral Sea, changing from a beautiful gem to a scar on the earth.

Haiziwei is very quiet at night. The cool night breeze occasionally blows the snorts of war horses into the air, drifting with the wind. Among the water plants around the West Sea, various unknown insects chirp unbridled, like

It's like squandering all their passion in the last moments of their lives.

Light always brings some sense of security. In order to be able to see further, the Qiang people on duty and patrol lit more than a dozen bonfires around the camp. The burning flames emitted a scorching light and illuminated hundreds of steps around them.

The place.

Suddenly, the thunderous sound of horse hooves sounded in the distance. The Qiang people on patrol turned pale with fright and hurriedly blew the alarm horn. The Qiang people in the camp were awakened and looked for their war horses.

Some were looking for war horses, some were shouting at the whole team, some were getting nervous for a while, bumping into each other, and then being cursed loudly.

The leader of the Qiang tribe rushed out of the tent with a knife in his hand, jumped on his horse, and was not even fully clothed. Then he led a group of Qiang people who were also disheveled, and rushed out of the camp with a noisy roar, facing the horseshoes.

They lined up in the direction from which the sound came, waiting for the enemy to appear.

"Blow the trumpet!"

"Get ready to fight!"

More than a dozen trumpeters blew their horns at the same time.

A low whine echoed in the night sky, making it look particularly desolate.

But as the Qiang horns blew, the sound of horse hooves in the distance became quieter, as if the cavalry galloping in the distance turned around and went back...

What is this going to do?

From the Qiang tribe leader to half of the Qiang soldiers, question marks appeared on their heads.

The thunder is loud, the raindrops are small, and the rumble comes fiercely. Is it over like this?

Several Qiang leaders looked at each other in confusion, and then someone reacted and sent scouts to investigate ahead.

The scout ran out quickly, and after a while he ran back again. He said that he had not seen the enemy for about ten miles, so he must have retreated.

Retreat?

Want to pursue?

Several Qiang tribe leaders gathered together and almost without hesitation issued the order to disperse and rest. No one wanted to pursue them in the dark, and they had to wait until dawn.

The Qiang people made short or long boos, as if they were laughing at the shamelessness and cowardice of the Han people. Then the leaders of each tribe led their soldiers back to rest. Soon after, the camp became quiet again, and the Qiang people fell asleep again.

, the sounds of snoring and grinding teeth once again echoed in the camp along with the chirping of insects.

After an unknown amount of time, maybe an hour, maybe just a stick of incense, or just a blink of an eye, the vibrations on the ground and the shrill sound of horns woke up these Qiang people from their sleep again.

The Qiang camp exploded again. The soldiers were running wild and panicked. The leaders of the various ministries were in a hurry, shouting and giving orders at the top of their lungs.

The leader of the Qiang tribe angrily grabbed the soldiers on duty, slapped them all over the face, and asked why these guys were approached by the enemy again without warning in advance. However, the Qiang soldiers on duty were absolutely unjust because they

Indeed nothing was found...

The Qiang people lined up again.

Then I found that the sound of the enemy's horse hooves began to gradually become smaller, and then disappeared after a while...

"Scout! Chase twenty miles away!" The Qiang-headed man roared angrily, "Damn it, damn it!" It is inevitable for everyone to get angry, especially now that they are twice as angry...
To be continued...
