    "The Huns have retreated!" On the watchtower, bursts of cheers came from the excited sentries.  ¡À Ning Cheng, the prefect of Longxi who was stationed in the city, breathed a sigh of relief. He stroked his messy beard before he remembered that he had spent a whole half a month without leaving his body, sleeping only two hours a day, and constantly guarding against the Huns' raids on the city day and night.  "Fortunately, the city is solidly built. Even digging tunnels and earth can't dig through the stone. The defense of Jincheng depends on the next step of the plan." Ning Cheng paused briefly and ordered the sentries to be more vigilant and on guard. The defenders in the city took turns to rest in batches. The Xiongnu  People's retreat is only temporary, and the next time they come back, they will be more powerful and threatening.  Hundreds of miles away in Didao City, the Cavalry General¡¯s Mansion received the information immediately.  "Chen He moved very quickly. I thought I would have to waste ten days and a half on the grassland. It would not be easy to find the foothold of King Youxian's tribe by walking half a circle along the desert." Zhao Junyu used charcoal pen to mark the map.  A circle is drawn on it, which marks the main activity area of ??the Youxian King tribe.  The custom in the grassland and desert has always been that wherever the main force goes, the tribes will follow. Meeting the main Xiongnu army means that the Xiongnu tribe will not be too far away, because the Xiongnu army has to eat a lot of cattle and sheep and cannot do without the tribe.  Yes, so finding the main force of the Xiongnu is equivalent to finding the Xiongnu tribe.  The Huns are not afraid of you knowing that even if they guess that the Huns' supply line is behind them, the Han army can't go around behind them to attack the Huns' supply lines. Going deep behind enemy lines is not a very fun way to do it. In a strange land, people are not familiar with it, and they lack both  With lack of support and supplies, it was very difficult to search for the legendary Huns tribe with a simple map and compass.  During this period, you will also have to face the small tribe of Huns that you can bump into at any time. Once your position is exposed, it will bring disastrous consequences. The Huns coming from all directions are like greedy and cruel hungry wolves, tearing the prey in front of you into pieces.  Even if you are a strong tiger, there is no exception. No matter how powerful the beast is, it will be dragged to death when encountering the tactics of a pack of wolves.  "We still don't have enough time. The new Yulin Cavalry has been trained in a hurry for half a year. It has not experienced the temper of the war and still lacks a lot of fire. The other 300,000 floating people of Luzuo are organized into a legion of 60,000 according to the standard of two out of ten.  This legion has only been trained for less than three months. The lack of heat and time is a fatal flaw. " Cao Shi frowned, worried about the partial division hundreds of miles away. Chen He led a cavalry force.  Ride across the endless Gobi Desert.  The Gobi is also called the Vast Sea, a desolate world composed of gravel and gravel. Only tall Populus euphratica and short sea buckthorn live tenaciously on the edge of the desert. There is a famous settlement here that is as famous as Chilechuan, Juyanhai.  .  Juyanhai is the heartland of Youxian Royal Court.  To the north is the core area of ??the Xiongnu royal court. Juyanhai is the starting point for entering and leaving the Western Regions to invade the Han Dynasty. It is also the most important living settlement in the right territory of the Xiongnu. Around this lake with rich water and grass, no less than three people live all year round.  One hundred thousand Xiongnu tribesmen migrated in rotation according to the Xiongnu's resting and grazing habits. Every few years, some tribesmen would be able to spend a quiet summer in Juyanhai.  "It's so beautiful here!" Chen He opened his hands and enjoyed the comfort of the cool breeze. A man with brown hair and brown eyes appeared next to him. He was the little Yuezhi king Shalile, known as the Desert Fox and the Yuezhi Viper.  Over the years he became thinner and paler.  What remained unchanged was the falcon-like eyes filled with deep and boundless haze and hatred.  "King Yue Zhi, is this the place you Yue Zhi people call the Pearl of the Desert? It is really beautiful." Salil said with emotion: "It is like a beautiful woman exuding infinite charm. We Yue Zhi people are here  He lived for fifteen hundred years and never left, until he was snatched away by these hateful Huns." "Fifteen hundred years?" Chen He suddenly remembered the "Oath of Shepherd" he once read in the chariot general's mansion.  ¡·.  The Emperor of Zhou led Xirong and the princes in the south to jointly vow to defeat the cruel merchants. The time period of "The Oath of Shepherd" took place nearly a thousand years ago (1057 BC). The time period is very clever. It happened to take over King Wu's expedition to Muye.  important historical events during the war.  In "The Oath of Shepherd", King Wu of Zhou once called a group of allies who came from afar as people from the Western Land.  And treat them differently from the tribes in the south. This group of people is the Xirong who followed King Wu of Zhou to attack King Shang.  They surrendered to the late King Wen of Zhou and were willing to encourage him, so there was a classic example of the Battle of Muye, in which the King of Zhou's army defeated the Shang army.  Mencius said in his work "Li Lou Xia": "Shun was born in Zhufeng. He moved to Fuxia and died in Mingtiao, and he was a native of Dongyi! King Wen was born in Qizhou and died in Biying, Xiyi.  "King Wen of Zhou is a member of the Western Yi people, and King Wu's allies in conquering Zhou are the Rong tribe of the Western Territory. What is the relationship between the two?" Many thoughts came to Chen He's mind, and he suddenly felt that he was thinking  But it's a bit absurd?, so he joked: "King Xiao Yuezhi, we have an ancient history book that once recorded an ancient war. It seems that your ancestors and our ancestors went to fight the king of the East" "Well, it sounds like  Something sounds familiar. I remember when I was a child, I secretly entered a cave that only wizards could enter and saw many murals. The wizards praised the legends recorded on the murals. I seemed to have the impression that they were painted with records of the Eastern kings who conquered thousands of miles away. Because of their military exploits  Our people were sealed to the grasslands in the north, the vast desert sea in the northwest, and the foothills of the Qilian Mountains in the west. We were lucky enough to stay here and not leave for more than a thousand years. Our people have not been heard from again, and they have probably disappeared  After all, it was just an ancient legend." Salil woke up from his short memories and smiled sheepishly: "The old legends have been gradually forgotten due to the lack of written records, especially in recent decades.  The Yuezhi people are rapidly dying, and our culture and heritage are about to face an epoch-making crisis. Our tribe has no written records, and in a few decades we will be reduced to ordinary tribesmen who are illiterate. " "I believe I won't.  , I think what you just said is very interesting. After fighting the Huns, I will take you to see our cavalry general. He will definitely be extremely happy about your arrival." Chen He showed a meaningful smile.  When you get closer to Juyan Sea, you will obviously find that the surrounding atmosphere has become calmer. You can't feel the anxious atmosphere of the war in the distant land. The herdsmen living around the huge lake called the Pearl of the Desert are not aware of the huge crisis.  Attack.  They galloped happily singing grassland love songs that represented the love between men and women.  "Dear grassland brothers, which tribe are you from? I am Zabu from the Zheti tribe. Do you need any help?" The young and enthusiastic Huns herdsmen came over and took the initiative to salute this group of horsemen wearing strange cloaks.  : "You are the cavalry under the king's tent. Why did you appear in our Juyanhai? Is there any news from the great King Youxian?" The disguised Han cavalry were all stunned, they didn't  Knowing how to answer the young herdsman who spoke so much that he could not understand the Xiongnu language, Chen He subconsciously made a slashing action with his sword. There were only a few people from top to bottom in the army who could barely understand the simple spoken language of the Xiongnu, and asked them to go.  Facing the Huns, it didn't take a few words for him to reveal his true nature. However, before the knife could be drawn out of its sheath, Shali was holding him firmly down next to him.  Salil pulled down his mask to reveal his distinctive face and said in a stern tone: "King Youxian has an order. There are a large group of small Yueshi horse thieves in the west of Juyanhai. He requested that tribal cavalry be sent out immediately to drive away the small Yueshi horse thieves.  . To protect Juyanhai¡¯s pastures from harassment by the Xiaoyuezhi people, go and tell your tribal leader that there are traces of the Xiaoyuezhi people walking four hundred miles southwest from here in the past ten days. Go ahead immediately.  Go and investigate, be careful of being attacked.¡± The young herdsman named Zabu immediately panicked, bowed deeply and quickly rode back, leaving his six hundred sheep on the pasture in his haste.  in spite of.  Chen He asked hurriedly: "What did you say to him just now? Why did he run away so quickly?" Shalile said unhurriedly: "I told him just now that there is a Xiaoyue clan four hundred miles away to the southwest.  Let them take the main force to drive away the horse thieves. In fact, the horse thieves were my men. They did stay there twelve days ago, but they quickly returned to the oasis in the Western Region to rest and wait for the opportunity.  Let them follow the horse manure slowly!" "High! You deserve to be called the Fox of the Desert." Chen He gave a thumbs up.  "We don't have much time. The tribe that attacked King Youxian can't hide it for long. When the Huns react from the shock, they will chase them near Juyanhai in a few days. We only have seven days at most!"  Le warned.  Chen He muttered: "Seven days is almost enough. My task is to drag the main force of the Xiongnu with me as much as possible, no matter how many days it takes." When the sun shifted to the west little by little.  The Xiongnu tribe living on the Juyan Sea in the Eye of the Desert were awakened by a shocking news. There were traces of a large number of small Yueshi horse thieves near the Juyan Sea.  They immediately thought of a haunting name, the Yuezhi poisonous snake that had a long reputation for being very cunning.  The angry Xiongnu elders held an emergency tribal meeting.  They invited the commander of the Hun cavalry, who was nominally protecting the road from Juyanhai to the front line, to discuss a specific plan to pursue, drive away and kill the Desert Fox. However, they did not realize that there was anything wrong with this unfamiliar army and unfamiliar commander.  The naive tribal elders thought he was a noble from the Hujie people.  The tribal elders were very tolerant of the Hujie army coming from afar, and they understood that the Hujie people could not understand the Xiongnu language. They praised the strange attire under the cloak, praising the Hujie people's soul, hands and feet even though they lived in the world.  In the remote desert land of the northwest plateau, there isAn amazing culture.  "Thank you for your reminder. I will leave it to you to take care of the transportation from Juyanhai to Han Dynasty. We will clean up those nasty fleas and bedbugs and they will come back soon. Zabu, please stay here to assist the general in Hujie seriously.  Do you understand?" Zabu smacked his chest and said solemnly: "Elder, please don't worry! I will definitely let General Hujie feel how hospitable our Huns are in Yanhai." "Then we are more respectful than obedient.  " Shalile smiled and nodded, watching the Huns elders get on their horses and rush towards the depths of the endless prairie.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster! PS: The Hujie people have a very famous descendant. After the Jie people's regime, Zhao Shile, Shihu and the others were that  That tribe.
