Early the next morning, Linghu Feng went to find Tulian Chinu, and the two talked secretly for a long time.

After lunch, Linghu Feng came back and said excitedly: "It's done! Chinu admired me so much that he decided to act according to my good plan on the spot. However, it takes some time to prepare." He raised his head and calculated, and said,

"We can start by the end of the month at the latest!"

Cao Fei was full of fighting spirit and said: "Great! My lord, if everything goes well, we can return to the capital to spend the winter!"

The winter in the desert is monotonous and unbearable. The grass and trees in the oasis are withered, and birds and animals are rare. The landscape is ruined and boring. The cold at night is like cutting out bones with a knife, and the fire can't even warm it. Even a fierce man like Cao Fei doesn't want to suffer.

This is so painful.

Linghu Feng laughed and said, "It's not that fast. Anyway, I won't delay you and come with me next spring to enjoy the swimming dragons in Xianyu Pond."

There are five horned dragons, and when you look at them day and night, the colorful dragons shine and the water appears in five colors, which is very beautiful.

This good strategy was the only way for Linghu Feng to turn around now. He was careful and did not miss a single word.

.

The custom of admiring the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival has not yet become popular. Only in early August, on a good day after the white dew, the whole family worships the gods they usually worship. Unlike most of the Linghu family who believed in Buddhism in the past, Linghu worships the gods.

He didn't believe in any gods or Buddhas. During the current period of his escape, he was fully planning on making a comeback. All he could think about was returning to the capital and killing that bastard with his own hands. He would not even care about such a thing.

Fu Qiao and Cao Fei didn't care either. Jia Zhen and Zuo each calculated a date and had already worshiped two days before the fifteenth day. Zuo's prayer was nothing more than that their children would grow up safely. When Jia Zhen worshiped

He gritted his teeth and kicked his chest, wondering what he was asking for.

On the night of the 15th day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xin You sat alone outside the tent with her knees in her arms, looking up at the full moon that looked like a silver plate. The autumn wind brought the sound of the Miaomiao water in Zhuye Ze. She fell into a trance for a while, feeling very lost. She thought of a few poems and thought to herself.

: "Who first saw the moon by the river? When did the moon on the river shine on people for the first time? Life has been endless from generation to generation, and the moon on the river looks the same year after year." Not only are the years different, I don't even know if this month is the same month.

Linghu Feng lectured his son in the tent: "This bed is a place for sleeping. Why are you stepping around with your boots? Yingluo Nu, watch the little thing carefully. It's getting late, so go to bed quickly."

Xin'er thought to herself: "Yingluo Nu? Is that the nickname of the Zuo family? Seeing as she worships the Buddha, she must be."

After changing the tent area, they have good clothes and food. The children recover quickly. The Linghu Le brothers and sisters are much more lively. Yesterday, they even took Xin Er to watch the barbarians racing camels. It is human nature to love beauty, Zuo's syndrome

In my spare time, I picked some red and blue flowers that grew in the grass, which the Hu people called "Yanzhi", crushed them into juice, and dressed up a little. When I saw her in the daytime, Xin You felt that she was different from before. She was as delicate as a peach and plum, and she was like a pearl

The nickname is very appropriate. It was not until midnight outside the tent that the night became unbearably cold, so Xin You reluctantly put away his clothes and went back to the tent to sleep.

Ten days later, Tulian Chinu was ready, and Linghu Feng revealed his good strategy to everyone.

But it turned out that he wanted to "use himself as bait" to spread the news and pretend to be escorted to the capital by Tulian Chinu, thereby attracting He Gangan's pursuers. Then Chinu led elite tribesmen to raid He Gangan's camp and criticize Kang.

Hit the weak point and catch it off guard.

After saying that, Linghu Feng looked complacent and looked at Xin You and Fu Qiao, waiting for their admiration and flattery.

Fu Qiao was puzzled at first as to why Cadre He would send pursuing troops after hearing the news, but he soon understood and praised, "This is a wonderful strategy, Your Majesty... It's just a bit risky, in case Your Majesty is really unfortunate enough to fall into He's trap"

In the hands of cadres?”

Linghu Feng said: "With Lao Cao and you protecting me, I feel very relieved!"

Fu Qiao was stunned and said: "I and Lao Cao... Do you want me to follow you too?"

Linghu Feng said matter-of-factly: "Chinu loves Zi Ming like a treasure, Zi Ming cannot follow him. Although Agua can walk, his injury has not healed, and riding a horse is not smooth, so it is difficult to follow him. If you want to coax that He

The cadres were deceived, how can it be enough for just me and Lao Cao? The arrest document for the bastard was clearly written. Apart from my wife and children, there were four of you who escaped from me!"

Fortunately for the Zuo family, Hu women grow their hair after marriage, so they can pretend to be fake; it is easier to have children. The same cannot be said for men. Hu men have bald heads and Tang men tie their hair, so they cannot find someone to pretend to be a substitute and escape.

The total of five adult men turned into two in an instant, which might arouse the suspicion of Cadre He. According to Linghu Feng's words, Fu Qiao really had to follow.

In fact, Linghu Feng had other plans. He thought to himself: "If the Chinu want to keep elite troops to attack Cadre He's camp, they can only use my old and weak slaves to act as an escort. I expect Cadre He will definitely send some troops to snatch me away."

Jingqi, this trip is very dangerous, and Lao Cao alone is not strong enough to protect me. Lao Fu, a bitter scholar, is useless. These days, he is becoming more and more disobedient to me. He refuses to change into Hu clothes even if he is asked to do so.

Don't be rude when talking to him. You can raise him for a thousand days. This is the right time. If you are in danger, I will push him to block the arrow. This is the perfect method." He thought again, "I am willing to violate my destiny and my body.

Danger, why are you so stupid and scared?" He was even more dissatisfied with Fu Qiao.

In connection with Linghu Feng's drunken talk last night, Xin You also thought of the reason why Cadre He sent troops to pursue him: with the help of Qin State, Cadre He suppressed Tulian Chinu, but after all, Qin State was far away, Dingxi State was close, and Tu Lian was close.

If Lian Chinu got the support of Dingxi King Linghu Yong by betraying Linghu Feng, then Gandan He would definitely not be able to defeat Lian Chinu. For the benefit of his own clan, He Dehu, the leader of Gangan He, would definitely not be able to defeat Lian Chinu.

Let Chinu send Linghu to the royal capital, so he will definitely send out pursuing troops to intercept the fight.

Xin You had vaguely thought of the reason for this when he first arrived at the Chi Lou Dan tribe. At that time, he guessed that one day Chi Nu might give them to Linghu Yong in exchange for some rewards, but

Because I didn't know the conflicts among the various tribes in Ino Zepan, I couldn't connect this guess with Cadre He.

He later thought fearfully: "Thanks to timely and Ziming's efforts, we did not end up in this situation! And that's why Linghu Feng was able to adopt this strategy." He looked at Linghu Feng and thought, "This is

Although people are ruthless and unjust, they dare to take risks at critical moments, be cruel to others, and be cruel to themselves. It can be said that they are doing great things without hesitation." I actually admire Linghu Fengsheng a little.

Fu Qiao had a grimace on his face, full of reluctance, but he did not dare to refuse even under the fierce look in Linghu Feng's eyes, saying in his heart: "It's bitter! It's bitter! Why did I covet Xu Ronggui back then and accept the punishment of the doctor in his palace?"

Clear office."

Linghu Feng thought that Xin'er was "also resourceful" and wanted to save his life and prevent him from getting hurt. However, Xin'er became an enemy of Jia Zhen. Jia Zhen thought it was the result of begging from the gods, so she was not willing to let Xin'er go.

The way to survive? As soon as the wind blew by the bedside, Xin You couldn't escape, so she had to pack up her clothes, reluctantly ride on a horse, and follow Linghu Feng and others to make bait.

The news quickly spread to cadres He.

He Dehu, the leader of He Gangan's department, was surprised when he heard the news and said: "The king of Dingxi was hunting for traitors. It turns out that Linghu Feng fled to the Chilou Dan tribe? But it was under my nose and I didn't know it! Fortunately, the information leaked and we were in time. I find out that if Chinu sends this 'strange item' into Guyin, I'm afraid that not only will we not be able to secure our current gains, but we will also be invaded by him in every possible way in the future!"

Thinking of Tulian Chinu's arrogance and arrogance after joining Linghu Feng's disciples earlier, He Dehu hated him deeply and would never let him succeed. He thought to himself: "Fortunately, Linghu Feng didn't give him any help at that time." How can he help, otherwise our clan would have been overpowered by this old dog!" Chinu means wolf in nonsense language, and by the time he got to He Dehu, he had become an old dog.

He thought for a while and issued two orders. First, he ordered people to immediately chase the Chilou Dan team escorting Linghu Feng to find out the number of people. Then he summoned all the subordinates in the tribe, waited for everyone to arrive, and explained the cause and effect. , and finally said: "This matter concerns the whole of our clan. You must not be sneaky and sneaky. You must each be excellent. You must intercept the orders and follow them to prevent the old dog from getting his way."

Different from the political power of the Tang Dynasty, it cannot be compared with Wei and Qin, which have been established for a long time and are in the process of being transformed into the Tang Dynasty. He Qian, Chilou Dan and other nomadic six barbarians who are wandering outside the countries are still incomparable. Maintaining the old tradition, that is, all larger tribes are composed of several or dozens of small tribes, each tribe has its own small tribe. The chief of the tribe, the big tribe, was originally elected by the small tribes. Even if the hereditary system was replaced later, there was no coercive power over each tribe. We could only discuss things with the tribesmen. Far from forming a strict organizational structure, it was still equivalent to the organizational form of a "tribal alliance".

Therefore, although He Dehu is the head of the department of Cadre He, when it comes to the specific matters of "producing excellence" in various species, he can only use the interests of the whole to influence the small leaders, and let them arrange and implement it. The small leaders They still remembered Chinu's domineering behavior when he gained power, and they all shouted: "It's all God's protection. Bless us. Once we learn about this, we can rest assured that we must have chosen well. How can we let an old dog succeed!"

He Dehu was very happy.

The small leaders came back from their tents and gathered their tribesmen respectively. The sons of He Dehu also went to gather the troops of their tribe. The Hu people gathered in groups, rode on horses, and carried many bows and arrows with them nearby. They prepared for battle very quickly, and in less than an hour they gathered. Completed.

He Dehu had received the spies' reward. He went out of the tent and said to the small officers who gathered around him: "Chinu was afraid that our troops would intercept him, so he sent a lot of people and horses to escort him. There should be no less than a thousand horses. Let's order three thousand to go." Pursued and captured, I ordered the fox to serve as slaves, and the rest of the captives were made slaves of the captor."

It is the custom of the six barbarians that all the captives are given to the captives as slaves. This is how most of the Tang and barbarian slaves in the Chilou Dan tribe came. The little leaders agreed with a bang.

The number of tribesmen in Gangan He is about the same as that in Chiloudan. There are three thousand tribes, and one tribe is one household. The men of Liuyi have learned to ride and shoot since they were young. When they were young, they would ride sheep and shoot birds and mice, and when they were older, they could shoot foxes and rabbits. Everyone who could mount a horse and fight, except those who herded horses and looked after sheep, everyone from twelve to thirty years old and below sixty or seventy were summoned, and no less than five or six thousand people were gathered.

Since there was no need for so many, they sent the old and the weak back. The small leaders took the selected more than 3,000 young people to settle down, followed He Dehu's sons, led the horses outside the tent area, and gave the order, They mounted their horses one after another, and more than 3,000 riders galloped out of the oasis, onto the desert, and covered the sky with yellow sand, chasing after the team escorting Linghu Feng from the Chilou Dan tribe.

As the leader of the ministry, He Dehu naturally could not move lightly. It was enough to have his sons lead him. He watched them go away and thought to himself: "Jie Minghu Feng is one of them. He took this opportunity to capture the thousand Chi Lou Dan." With the remaining young men, I can slowly clean up the old dog and annex his tribe. After swallowing the Red Lou Pill and taking down all the remaining tribes on the edge of Zhuye Ze, I will be able to defeat nearly ten thousand people and dominate both the near and far. When the Shanyu comes to attack Longdi, I will raise troops to respond. As long as he accomplishes great feats, I will not be able to do the same for King Dingxi."

In the Qin State, there were a large number of inward-migrating Six Barbarians who were nomadic and still maintained their tribal form. In order to rule them separately from the Tang people who farmed the land, the leader of the Qin State, in addition to proclaiming himself emperor, established another Shan Yutai. He called himself the Great Chanyu to manage the six barbarians.

However, it was said that Xin You followed Linghu Feng's horse, and the group of people, under the retinue of more than a thousand slaves, walked very slowly, stopping and going. They left the oasis in the morning, and by the afternoon they had covered no more than twenty miles.

Xin You knew in his heart that this was to create an opportunity for Cadre He to catch up with them. He pressed the bow and quiver hanging by the saddle, and rubbed the handle of the straight knife at his waist. His palms became sweaty, even though there were some scenes in his memory. , but he himself had never experienced a battle, and he was a little weak, with a dull pain from the unhealed wound on his back.

The autumn sun's exposure made his lips dry, and he swallowed nervously, trying to imagine what he would do after the battle.

Fu Qiao learned his lesson, put a layer of soft felt on the saddle, straddled on it, took the reins and pressed the saddle, looking back from time to time in fear.

Cao Fei was an expert in riding and shooting, and was good at using spears. The spear was lost on the way to escape, and there was no suitable one among Hu's tribe. He made two eight-foot-long wooden spears by himself a few days ago, and put them to use. Now he held them in his hand and looked around, but he didn't see anything. Don't panic, and said to Linghu Feng: "When Officer He comes after me, my lord, please stay with me. Don't say three, five, seven, or eight. Even if thirty or twenty thieves come to fight, I can still protect Zhou Quan." ."

It is true that Hu Yi is good at cavalry and shooting, but it also depends on who the opponent is. Chi Loudan and He cadres still maintain the old political tradition. When it comes to the use of cavalry tactics, they are still the same old tricks that have been passed down for many years, just guerrilla shooting. It is quite primitive. It is not so much a "soldier" as a "people who lead the bow." Cao Fei is a senior officer of the regular army. He has personally commanded thousands of heavy cavalry and used shock tactics to fight the enemy in hand-to-hand combat. Against Chi Lou Dan, Cadre He naturally looked down upon this little scene. Not only was it a bit inappropriate, but he also showed his pride and eagerness to try.

There was a slight vibration on the soft sand surface, which was difficult to detect at first. Then, the vibration gradually became obvious, the yellow sand fluctuated, the horses neighed uneasily, and the team composed of old and weak slaves became panicked and commotion.
