Song Heng stared at the sand table and thought for a long time. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he realized that he had entered a misunderstanding. He had been thinking about how the barbarians sneaked into Dongchen from the Northern Territory, but ignored other things.
Who said that barbarians must enter Dongchen from the Northern Territory?
The Northern Territory is close to Xiling. They can pass through Xiling, disguise themselves as Xiling people, and enter the Dongchen Kingdom from the Western Territory! The relationship between the Xiling Kingdom and the Northern Territory seems to have gotten better in the past two years, and it is easy for the barbarians to obtain the customs clearance documents from the Xiling Kingdom.
Son.
"It's Xiling."
"What?"
Qiao Mu was a little confused.
Song Heng looked at him and said: "The barbarians took the way to Xiling, pretended to be from Xiling, and sneaked into Dongchen Kingdom from the western border.
You hurry up and call the messenger, I want to write a letter and send it to the West immediately."
Qiao Mu: "Yes."
Song Heng quickly wrote a letter, asking the Western Border Guard to strictly check the Xiling people who left the country. The barbarian who captured his son should have entered the Western Border disguised as a Xiling person, and would also leave from the Western Border when leaving.
After writing it, he also stamped it with his general's seal.
When the messenger came, Song Heng handed the letter to the messenger and asked him to hurry up and send it to the west.
If Manzi had not taken Ziling out of the country yet, and they were delayed on the road to avoid tracking, they might still have time to stop Manzi.
Although these may be trivial, give them a try anyway.
Then Song Heng asked Qiao Mu to find the maps of the Xiling Kingdom and the Northern Territory Kingdom, looked at them carefully, and analyzed where the barbarians would leave the Xiling Kingdom after leaving the western border.
After the barbarians arrived in the Xiling Kingdom, they left the border from the northern border of Xiling and walked through a small desert to reach the northern territory.
From where they got to the barbarian's garrison, it was only a thousand and five miles away, and they could reach it in four or five days at a quick pace.
If you want to save Zi Ling, you must intercept them in the desert.
But Barbarian is not stupid either. Maybe he has already arranged for someone to be waiting at the border north of Xiling to pick them up.
Song Heng thought for a long time and decided to order five hundred elites and immediately leave the city and rush to the desert to ambush and rescue people in the desert.
After hearing his plan, Qiao Mu volunteered for the job, and he agreed.
It's midnight, the moon is dark and the wind is high.
Under the city gate, Song Heng looked at the five hundred elites and Qiao Mu standing in front of him and said: "You are the people I trust most and you are also the most outstanding soldiers under my command.
Although this rescue operation is to save my son, if we encounter barbarians at that time, there are too many barbarians and you are not sure of victory, so you will give up the operation and come back."
He didn't want these soldiers to make unnecessary sacrifices to save his son.
If he couldn't leave, he would go by himself, but as the commander of an army, he couldn't leave the border even half a step at this time.
These five hundred elites originally thought that the general would tell them that they must rescue the second young master, but unexpectedly the general said that they were not sure of victory and gave up the action.
Obviously, the general did not want them to die trying to save the second young master. They were indeed following the wrong person.
Everyone was ready to mount their horses. They had brought enough food and water because they were going to ambush in the desert.
Song Heng had someone open the city gate, and Qiao Mu led five hundred elites out of the city and disappeared into the night.
After Yeluye received the news that Qin Yi had succeeded, he felt that he would definitely win, but he was also a little disappointed. He did not continue to send spies to detect the enemy outside the city gate of Dongchen Kingdom, so they did not know that Dongchen had a team of men.
