Returning to the main tent of the Chinese army, Emperor Lingyi was sitting in the middle, Zhang Qian and his group were sitting next to them, and Tu Zhi was standing in the middle.
"What's going on?"
Long Chen walked in with a stern expression. Tu Zhi's heart tightened and he said, "Yeluxiong and the other three ran away. They just discovered them. I've already sent people to chase them!"
Long Chen looked ugly and said: "If they find Yeluhong and know that we suffered heavy casualties, they will be in trouble..."
"Ye Luxiong knows that our soldiers are seriously freezing to death, and those under your command must also know that. If you let them chase, this is not a meat bun beating a dog. They must have run away."
Tu Zhi looked ugly. He was in a hurry to chase the person back and didn't think of this aspect.
"You go back now, keep an eye on your people, don't allow anyone to leave, and kill anyone who dares to move!"
Tu Zhi nodded and was about to go out, but Long Chen stopped him again and asked: "Do you know where Kent Mountain is?"
Tu Zhi nodded and said: "I know, that's where Yeluhong rose. It's more than a hundred miles away from here, very close. Why does the general ask this?"
Long Chen said: "It's nothing. I was wondering if Yeluhong would be hiding in Kent Mountain. It's impossible now that I think about it. The distance is too close."
"Go and see your men, don't let anyone escape."
"I will send people to hunt down Yeluxiong!"
Tuzhi immediately went out to watch the barbarians.
"The wind and snow are so strong now, how can you chase after it?"
Emperor Lingyi thought Long Chen really wanted to pursue him.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Why am I chasing them? I just want them to run away and send the news to Yeluhong."
"I have a more important matter now. Yeluhong's wife and children are hiding in the Kent Mountains, guarded by a thousand guards."
"Linglong, I will give you a thousand soldiers and horses, can you capture them?"
Gongsun Linglong said confidently: "Of course there is no problem, but I don't know the road."
Long Chen took out the map and said, "Just follow the map. Remember to approach quietly and don't leak anything."
Gongsun Linglong took the map and said, "Don't worry!"
Long Chen immediately ordered a thousand soldiers and horses for Gongsun Linglong to go to Kent Mountain.
....
Hera Pass.
Yeluhong, the wise man Abu Ji, and Ma Zun were in the tent. There was a pile of wet firewood burning on the ground. The smoke filled the tent and made it uncomfortable for the eyes.
The cold wind blew from the mountain pass into the desert, and the tent trembled slightly.
"It's been snowing for three days, not many people have come, and the road is too difficult."
The wise man Abuji was a little disappointed. He thought more wolf warriors would find this place.
Yeluhong hid the news when he was escaping. After confirming that a blizzard was coming, he released the news and said that he was at the Hera Pass and asked them all to come and gather. Those who did not come were traitors of the grassland and would settle accounts in the future.
But these days, only 20,000 people have come to seek refuge.
Yeluhong scolded: "These people usually seem loyal, but at critical times they are rebels! Traitors!"
The King of Yaksha Ming, Ma Zun, advised: "Why should Chanyu be like this? The snowstorm is so severe that it is not easy to come here. We are not many in number. Doesn't Long Chengen have many in number?"
"With such a heavy snowstorm, I estimate that many of Long Chengen's troops must have froze to death."
Yeluhong shook his head and said: "Long Chengen is too treacherous. Although the snowstorm is severe, he may not be able to do anything about it."
After several battles, Yeluhong felt fear in his heart.
"Wise man, what do you think we should do now? The news has spread that Long Chengen will not come to Hera Pass."
The situation in this war has been changing, and so have the strategies of both sides.
Long Chen planned to attack Buhan Mountain and force Yeluhong to fight in Buhan Mountain.
However, Yeluhong retreated to the Hera Pass, intending to lure Long Chen to a decisive battle at the Hera Pass.
Long Chen ignored it and waited in Ahebo for the snowstorm to pass.
Both sides have their own plans, and both sides are constantly revising their battle plans.
This is the battlefield, and both the enemy and ourselves are changing.
After listening to Yeluhong's question, the wise man Abu Ji shook his head slightly and said: "Long Chengen stayed in Ahebo. We are safe here."
"We are waiting for news now. If Long Chengen cannot withstand the blizzard, he has only two choices: retreat or freeze to death."
"I think he may choose to retreat, leave Ahebo, return to the south of Wuli Mountain, or even return to Yanmen Pass to rest."
"So, my opinion is: If Long Chengen's losses are not big, we will stay at the Hera Pass; if Long Chengen's losses are big or he retreats, we will attack and kill him!"
Yaksha Ming King Mazun nodded in agreement: "The poor monk agrees with the wise man's point of view. The poor monk feels that Long Chengen must have suffered heavy losses. The snow on the grassland is too cold."
As a Xixia native, Ma Zun really felt that he couldn't bear the cold. If it weren't for the blessing of martial arts, he would have been frozen long ago.
At this moment, Baoyin ran in from outside and said in surprise: "Chanyu, the wise kings and Hallel are back!"
Yeluhong felt incredible. These three traitors were actually back?
"Bring it in!"
Yeluhong was furious. At this time, he was both happy and angry.
He didn't expect that Yeluxiong and the others would come back, and he hated them for actually defecting to the enemy and admitting that Tuzhi was the new Shanyu.
Soon, the three people entered the tent and knelt down and kowtowed to Yeluhong.
"Chanyu, I finally see you. I thought I would never see you again in this life."
The three of them cried bitterly, as if they finally saw their big brother again.
Yeluhong sneered and said: "The three rebels still know that this king is the Shanyu! Come on, drag down the three rebels and chop them down!"
Baoyin called the soldiers in and pretended to drag the three people out and behead them.
The wise man Abuji quickly cooperated and advised: "Chanyu, now is the time to employ people. For the time being, we will exempt the three of them from the death penalty and let them perform meritorious service."
Yeluhong cursed angrily: "If it weren't for the sake of wise men, I would kill you now!"
The three people kowtowed to Abuji and thanked him.
"Sit down and talk."
Abuji asked the three of them to sit down and asked Baoyin to bring them some mare's milk to warm them up.
The three of them had drank and felt a little calmer, so they immediately told Ahbo about his situation.
"Aren't you three spies?"
Yeluhong looked at the three of them suspiciously.
Ye Luxiong said hurriedly: "Chanyu, it's absolutely true. If Long Chengen's soldiers and horses hadn't frozen to death, how could we have escaped."
Yelvsu also said: "Long Chengen deliberately stayed still to cover up the illusion that the soldiers were freezing to death."
Halle also said: "Tuzhi is very panicked now and doesn't allow us to talk about the Eastern Zhou army being frozen to death. This is trying to cover up the truth."
Yeluhong was secretly happy, but not sure yet, so he looked at Abu Ji and Ma Zun.
Abu Ji looked at the three people and felt that they were telling the truth, but he was not sure.
Ma Zun also looked suspicious and did not dare to make a final decision.
At this time, Baoyin came in from outside again and said: "Chanyu, here are some of our former brothers. They were ordered to hunt down the three wise kings."
Yeluhong immediately said: "Bring people in!"
Baoyin immediately escorted a dozen people in and knelt on the ground.
"Meet Shanyu!"
Yeluhong asked: "Were you ordered to hunt down the three of them?"
