Li You panted and put the sword in the sheath. The clothes soaked in blood made him feel extremely uncomfortable. Fortunately, the blood belonged to the Huns! Look at the other people in the team, except for Pan Feng still full of energy, everyone else was tired to varying degrees, and the weakest Chen Qingzhi was already lying on the horse's back so tired that he couldn't speak!

"Tangyifu, how long will it take to find a place to rest?" Li Youqiang asked with his spirit. After entering the territory of King Kunxie, the situation suddenly changed drastically. This was the third wave of interception they encountered in a few days! Fortunately, they encountered small teams of people, and after a fight, they left them behind. However, in the past few days, the number of people in the entire mission decreased again. In the battle with the Huns, they lost people that were almost the same as when they crossed the Wushao Ridge. Now there are less than a hundred people left in the mission.

Moreover, these surviving people were more or less injured, so they could not continue to fight like this! The most important thing now is to find a place that is difficult for the Huns to find and take a rest for a few days.

"There is a small hill twenty miles ahead. The terrain is remote and rarely visited. We can rest there!" Tang Yi's father also gasped. In the battle just now, he suffered some minor injuries, and now he gritted his teeth and insisted.

"You can't go directly, you have to go around a few circles to confuse the pursuers!" Although he was so tired, Chen Qingzhi gritted his teeth and insisted on reminding them!

"There is a small river ahead, and we can use this river to get rid of our opponents!" Tang Yi's father thought of this and walked seven or eight miles apart. In the front, a small river six or seven meters wide appeared. Everyone didn't bother to drink water and rest, so they rushed into the river and walked down the river for several miles. In the middle, Tang Yi's father also brought a group of under-injured soldiers ashore and circled a few times to mislead the pursuit!

After walking in the water for more than an hour, everyone went ashore and rushed towards the hill that Tang Yifu said; night was approaching, everyone finally arrived at this hill, and they saw that the rocks were rugged on the mountain, and there was almost no greenness, and there was no grass around them. I thought that this kind of place would not be visited by herders! Li You then felt a little relieved.

He walked around the hill, found a sheltered valley to camp, arranged a sentry, and helped the doctor bandage and treat the wounded. He was busy until the moon was in the middle of the sky, and Li You was able to take a breath.

"Master, maybe it was because King Kunxie who received the order from Zhongxing, that he would have been so entangled with us!" Tang Yifu said that the grassland was vast, and if it were not sent to search for it intently, it would be so easy to hit me.

"We haven't even reached half of this road in the territory of Kunxie King! We'll get closer and closer to his base! We will encounter more and more enemies! We have to think of a solution!" Li You frowned. This road is much more difficult than the one in the territory of Xiutu King.

"King Kunxie King is more harsh in his rule than King Xiu Tu, and is not an easy opponent to deal with!" The King Kunxie King was even more ambitious. He might want to strengthen his control over the various tribes by intercepting the Han Dynasty mission, or he wanted to show his face in front of the Great Shanyu. He was definitely not comparable to King Xiu Tu's life like King Xiu Tu.

"Eunuch, we don't have much medicine anymore! If there is another battle in the future, I'm afraid..." During the discussion, the doctors in the delegation brought another bad news!

"I understand!" Li You nodded and told him to write it down. Now, from all aspects, the mission is not suitable to confront the Huns head-on. Either choose another road or the Xiongnu cavalry scattered on the grasslands have to be transferred to other places to make way for the mission.

After listening to Li You's inquiry, Tang Yi's father thought for a while, and finally shook his head, "Eunuch, we are almost at the center of the territory of Kunxie King. The roads are similar in the south, north and west, but the east is shorter, but that's the direction we are coming, so we can't just go back!"

"And now it's almost winter. The forages of various tribes have been finished. Those young and strong people have nothing else to do on weekdays! They have time to waste with us! It is not easy to adjust them from the west!" The busy seasons of nomads are mainly spring and autumn. In spring, they need to rush their herds to find pastures, and in autumn they need to reserve hay for the winter. These two seasons are very important to them. In winter, the weather is cold and the plants are not growing. They can do the work of protecting the herds, and the elderly, weak, women and children. Therefore, they have time to deal with them under the orders of King Kunxie.

Seeing that both of these methods were denied by Tang Yifu, Li You fell into deep thought; Tang Yifu stood up and looked up at the night sky, "Hey, it's been a sunny day for several days. It would be great if there was a wind and snow! We can also avoid the enemy while the wind and snow!"

Hum? Fengxue? A flash of inspiration in Li You's mind seemed to feel like he had grabbed something for a moment. He asked quickly, "How long has it been snowing here?"

"We have never seen snow since we came down from Daxue Mountain all the way!" Tang Yifu kicked a small pit on the ground with his toes, squatted down and pushed away the floating soil, picked up a piece of dry soil from the pit, and rubbed it with his hands. The dry soil was crushed into pieces and drifted away with the wind, and his hands were not even wet at all.

Tang Yi's father looked at his finger and shook his head and said, "It seems that it hasn't snowed here for at least a month! This is not a good thing!"

What nomads are most worried about in winter is the problem of snow. If there is too much snow and the accumulated snow cools down after a while, and the surface of the snow becomes ice shell, the animal will not only not be able to eat grass, but also be easily scratched by the ice shell, which causes the cattle and sheep to die of starvation and death. It is called a white disaster.

If there is less snow or no snow in winter, the phenomenon of livestock being short of water, epidemics prevail, fatness decreases, miscarriage of female livestock, and even causing large-scale deaths of livestock is called black disasters. Both of these are disasters that will cause great losses to the Huns! And now there seem to be signs of black disasters.

"If the air is dry today, there is no snow! Now it depends on the fact that the tribe has prepared enough hay in autumn! If the amount of hay is enough, they may be able to survive! If it is not enough, this tribe will face a catastrophe!" Tang Yi's father showed a sad face, as if he recalled his life when he was grazing in the Huns.

"Okay! Since their young and strong people have gone out to intercept us! Then let's go to their tribe to visit!" Li You finally smiled; if the dry things are dry today, the most feared thing is fire! And hay is a very easy thing to catch fire, so I will take people to visit each tribe and burn their hay to see if they go back to guard against our attack or block the road ahead!
