Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 758 Desire to win in defeat

   On the way Zhao Yun went to Yulin Daying, one was the road that was originally taken with Yu Fuluo's army, and the other was the road of the Tuwei River Valley.

  Zhao Yun thought for a while, but decided to go the original road.

One is that although the Tuwei River Valley can be walked, it is not a conventional road after all. The silt and unsmooth stones on both sides of the valley are potential risks. There is another more important factor. How to go is another question...

   Therefore, it is better to walk on the road that you have walked on than to walk on an unfamiliar road. Although you may not be familiar with it, at least you have a sense of it.

   Not only that, Zhao Yun even asked the scouts to expand the detection range to fifty miles south.

Special circumstances are treated specially. Previously, they followed Yu Fuluo's large army. If you want to ambush ten thousand cavalry, the number of one or two thousand is not much use. It is very easy to be discovered, so a few days ago, the barbarians also scattered hundreds of thousands of such small troops, just harassing the left and right, as for the large-scale ambush...

  Under such terrain conditions, it would be easier to switch to a surprise attack.

For Zhao Yun's return to Yulin Daying, such a thousand-man cavalry, on the one hand, there is a valley on the side of the return road, which makes it easier to hide people; Human ambush, even if it doesn't lose, is probably enough, so Zhao Yun, who is more cautious by nature, would rather make the scouts work harder and change horses frequently, rather than take the risk of being caught in an ambush.

  However, the benefits of sending the scouts far away are obvious. Zhao Yun's scouts soon discovered the traces left by the Hu Qi who had come around from the Bald Tail River Valley.

This is an unnamed riverbed, which was originally part of the Bald-tailed River. The valleys on both sides are steep. Normally, it is impossible to walk, but this is a seasonal river. There is water in late spring and early summer, and then in autumn and winter. The flow has been cut off, and it is only early spring, and the ice and snow have just melted, so there is not much water in this river valley, and it is still passable for the time being.

  It seems that the Hu people detoured from the Tuwei River to the Yuanyin area on the other side of the mountain, and then detoured back from this unnamed river valley, so now...

  ********************

Although Zha Tiansheng tried his best to show a calm look, his face was still a little blue, and the strong smell of blood still lingered in his mouth, as if he was holding a piece of rusty blood in his mouth. of iron.

  When he set off from Meiji, he was very ambitious, but now he is defeated and embarrassed. Although we tried our best to gather the troops at dawn, there are still many tribesmen who don't know where they went, and they dare not stay in one place for a long time, fearing that the troops of Yulin Camp will send chasers, so they hurriedly organized and set off up.

  More than 5,000 people came here happily, and now only 1,450 people are left in despair. How can such a contrast not make people feel uncomfortable...

  Before coming this time, the He people swore that they would be able to do whatever they want after defeating the joint army of Yu Fuluo and the Han people, but now they have already been slapped in the face.

  Face is not the most critical issue, the most serious issue at the moment is how much trust and support the clansmen have for Zha Tiansheng...

  Zha Tiansheng's eyes narrowed, and he secretly glanced left and right, and found that there always seemed to be some clansmen gathered behind him, muttering something in a low voice.

   Are you speaking ill of me?

   Or are you plotting to overthrow me?

  Going to find Xianbei and seeking Xianbei's support, this road is definitely not easy to walk. Xianbei people are not good people, how could they agree at will? If it is not done well, it may be swallowed by the Xianbei people directly...

   What's more, now that the young and strong clansmen have lost so much, let alone how to live this winter, just talking about such an instantly weakened combat power, can they ensure that they will not be peeped by other tribes?

   Zha Tiansheng pursed his lips tightly, his head was in chaos.

  These futures are related to future survival issues, making Zha Tiansheng's whole heart feel as if he was being pulled up and pinched, very uncomfortable.

   "Youxian King! It's not good! It's not good!"

Although Zha Tiansheng's thoughts were scattered and he didn't give a special explanation, but out of instinct, Zha Tiansheng's people still sent some rangers to scout forward. Of course, these people were not professional scouts, but ordinary soldiers. .

   There are naturally some differences between professional and non-professional scouts, just like now...

   The panic-stricken ordinary soldiers shouted, pulling their necks, not only startled Zha Tiansheng, but even caused a riot in the entire team.

   "What's going on?!" Zha Tiansheng gritted his teeth, held back his anger, and asked in a deep voice. If this was normal, a guy who dared to be frizzy like this would have been dragged down for more than a dozen whips to increase his memory, but now, he can only endure it.

  The guy with a pale face still didn't know what to do, and he was still screaming with his neck: "Youxian King! It's not good! There are... there are Han people! There are Han people ahead!"

  Zha Tiansheng wanted to crush this guy to death, but after taking a long breath, he forcibly endured it and continued to ask: "How many people are there? How far is the distance? Cavalry or infantry? How about the equipment?"

   "の... this..." The messenger guy who was a part-time part-time scout opened his mouth wide, unable to answer any questions.

   Seeing this, Zha Tiansheng closed his eyes, held the horse's rein tightly with both hands, and shook it on the horse's back.

  A personal guard next to Zha Tiansheng stepped forward and asked for Ying: "Youxian King, let me go to the front to have a look..."

"Okay!" Zha Tiansheng nodded, then turned around and ordered, "Everyone get ready, tidy up the harness! What's the mess, I'm not dead yet! Changshengtian is still looking at us, did Changshengtian's Chi Na eat If you lose a battle, you will be like Nuo Hai, with your tail between your legs! Ah?!"

   After all, there is still some majesty that has survived for a long time. Zha Tian Shengduan sat on the horseback, waved the whip, and roared at the top of his voice, the tribe seemed to have recovered some morale...

   Not long after, the personal guard of Zha Tiansheng came back and said loudly: "Youxian King! There are not many Han Chinese, only two hundred cavalry! The equipment is also ordinary soldiers, without vests!"

   "Hoo..."

   It seemed to be the same, and the clansmen behind Zha Tiansheng secretly took a long breath.

That day, the Xiliang iron cavalry, which was almost invulnerable to swords and guns, was covered with heavy armor, which impressed Zha Tiansheng's tribe too deeply. Subconsciously, they didn't want to face these tall iron bumps again. After arriving not as heavy armored cavalry, but as ordinary Han cavalry, I felt a lot more relaxed.

   "Only two hundred?" Zha Tiansheng reconfirmed.

  The soldier nodded.

   Zha Tiansheng frowned, glanced at the clansmen behind him, and then looked in the direction of the north, and couldn't help but start thinking...

When I bought instant noodles when I was a child, I crushed them first, then sprinkled the seasoning packet in, shook vigorously, and then ate. I poured the last bit of food into my hand, and then poured it back and forth with my left and right hands to shake off the excess seasoning powder. I felt that it was almost done. Just put it in your mouth and lick your paws clean...

   This is a popular eating method that was all the rage back then...

   Who has eaten instant noodles like this?

Please raise your hand…

   …

   I can't find anything to replace youth...

   To us who are getting old...

   …

   …

   We will all grow old, but instant noodles will not...

   …

   …

   …

   …

   …

   Because of the addition of a lot of preservatives...
