Chang Xiaotian was lying behind the soil slope, chewing a piece of dried meat in his mouth. When he was thirsty, he picked up the gourd and took a sip of cold wine. Then he wiped his sloppy beard with his sleeve.

The soldier next to him could not help but swallow as he smelled the aroma of wine, staring at the wine gourd in Chang Xiaotian's hand without moving.

Chang Xiaotian felt the eyes around him, looking at these greedy cats, he stretched out his hand and patted the soldier on the head.

"You bastard, do you want to drink?"

"Hey, I want to drink." The soldier laughed innocently, not hiding his inner thoughts at all.

"Don't drink from me, grab it yourself if you want!"

"But boss, this barbarian hasn't appeared yet."

"Don't fucking question me, I will for sure! If the Northern Barbarians don't show up within an hour, ten years of fine wine in my tent will be given to you." Chang Xiaotian said confidently. Then, he sniffed,

He cursed with a crooked mouth: "Damn it, it's so cold... Winter is coming soon, the road to Xihu will soon be blocked by heavy snow, and the caravans in the pass will soon be withdrawn. The northern barbarians will not move out at this time.

How do they survive the winter?”

"How many miles shall we chase today?"

"If you don't chase me today, I'll give it up when you get the chance. These damn northern barbarians will get poorer and poorer as they live."

Chang Xiaotian swears a lot, as if he can't speak without using curse words. In fact, Chang Xiaotian's face looks elegant, but his eyes and words are full of wildness and uninhibitedness, and his whole image

The same is true - messy beard, rough skin, red nose and large and small scars...

Suddenly, Chang Xiaotian seemed to have thought of something. He spat and cursed: "Damn it, did the old general scare the Northern Barbarians? Why are these idiots so poor now? This trophy is really good now.

It's like 'wash your dick in cold water, the harder you wash it, the smaller it gets'."

Everyone burst into laughter, as if they were particularly impressed by Chang Xiaotian's foul-mouthed way of speaking.

"Don't laugh! Please cheer me up later." Seeing the shadow of the caravan faintly appearing in the distance, Chang Xiaotian suddenly became alert. Feeling that the generals were much more energetic, he licked some

With chapped lips, he said: "Winter is coming soon, and the Northern Barbarians will definitely bring winter wine with them. Have you never drank it?"

The soldiers shook their heads, all looking confused. They had never heard of this thing, not to mention drinking it.

"Hehe, that stuff was made by a stupid barbarian. I've had it a few times, and it's so damn delicious."

"Is it better than Taibai from Datang?"

"I'm not going to lie to you, Taibai is far behind compared to it!"

The soldiers swallowed and licked their chapped lips.

Seeing that everyone's greed was aroused, Chang Xiaotian continued in a dignified manner: "This winter wine is made by the Northern Barbarians using the rice they snatched from our caravan, but I don't know what method these turtles used.

, actually brewed such a delicious treasure. A few years ago, I snatched half the bag back, poured it into a pot and heated it over low heat. The aroma instantly spread to half of the military camp. Then I cut two kilograms of soy sauce beef and drank a sip of wine.

Eat a mouthful of meat like this..."

Some soldiers were drooling without realizing it, and their eyes were filled with light.

"Then why has the old general never drank? Otherwise, we wouldn't have heard of it?"

"Hey, this fine wine has only been available in the past two years. Of course the old general has never tasted it. Now! Last year, I got a pot for him. After he drank it, he asked for it every time he wrote to me.

Get him a few more pots."

Seeing that everyone was gearing up, Chang Xiaotian suddenly raised his voice a few points.

"The caravan is coming now. It is estimated that the soldiers from the Northern Barbarians will be arriving soon. There are sentry brothers both inside and outside the caravan. When they see the enemy, they will tell us later. We don't have to worry about anything at that time.

Catch them from two sides and catch them off guard. The one who rushes in front! I will reward him with two bowls of winter wine. But remember it all! You can only drive them away! No pursuit!"

"yes!"

Recently, the Northern Barbarians seem to have been given guidance by experts. Although they are loose cavalry, Chang Xiaotian always feels that these loose cavalry have some flavor of the Central Plains' art of war, so they are extremely cautious these days. Although he has learned the true story of Xu Younian, he still has it in his heart.

Tighten this string, after all, Tianmen Pass is the top priority.

Just as everyone was waiting for the enemy to appear, suddenly a rapid voice came from the side——

"Report - there is rising dust in the northwest direction, stick to the ground and listen carefully for the sound of horse hooves!"

"Can you hear me clearly?"

"It's clear as day, there seems to be two to three hundred riders!"

"You damn man, he's coming with a lot of force!" Chang Xiaotian held his chin and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Give me the order, and if the northern barbarians approach the caravan within half a mile, let the right wing come forward to protect them. Don't fight. Just

Just protect the caravan, and we'll be on top when the Northern Barbarians' charge is gone!"

"yes!"

...

The Northern Barbarian cavalry was overjoyed when they saw the caravan approaching from far away. The whip in their hands hit the horse's buttocks hard, causing the fierce horse to run faster.

"The caravan is just ahead, charge!"

The leader of the Northern Barbarians shouted loudly to the cavalry behind him and rushed towards the caravan. The Northern Barbarians were unusually tall. Seeing the food, grass and clothing right in front of them, they made strange screams from their mouths, as if they were the trumpets of the army.

Three miles, two miles, one mile...

The Northern Barbarian cavalry was getting closer and closer to the caravan, but Xintang's cavalry never appeared. It was not until half a mile away that a small cavalry squad was seen on both sides of the caravan, guarding the caravan as it moved forward.

"Uu——"

Seeing that it was just a small group of cavalry, Beimantou took the lead and slowed down his sprint, and then slowly followed the caravan forward. After confirming that this small group of cavalry had no intention of driving them away, he issued another order to the caravan.

Caravan sprint.

The main purpose of the Northern Barbarians attacking caravans was to seize supplies. Both the Northern Barbarians and their horses were taller and stronger, so they naturally had an advantage in grabbing things. He did not have too many entanglements with the defenders of the New Tang Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty.

A small group fought off the caravan, entangled the defenders, robbed the supplies and ran away.

At this time, the Northern Barbarian cavalry was approaching the caravan. A small group of cavalry fought with the escorting Xintang cavalry, while the merchants fled away desperately, running towards the back.

It seems that I have gained a lot today! If I present it to the Barbarian King, I will definitely receive a lot of rewards...

But just when the leader was happy, a long whistle came from the distance, and the leader was shocked - a familiar whistle, a familiar appearance, who else could it be besides the 'devil'?

As expected, Chang Xiaotian, the nemesis of the Northern Barbarians, came from both sides with two groups of cavalry, and their momentum was extremely rapid.

"Hurry - retreat quickly - Xiao Dingguo is personally leading the team! Run away -"

Originally, the leader of the Northern Barbarians thought that even if there were defenders, they would only be one or two small forces. However, he never expected to see Xiao Dingguo personally marching into battle, and he was instantly panicked.

Chang Xiaotian held leaves in his mouth and after a long roar, the two groups of cavalry quickly surrounded the Northern Barbarian cavalry entangled with the right wing, but the leader escaped with a large force. After subduing these Northern Barbarian cavalry, Chang Xiaotian

Tian looked at the direction in which the enemy was escaping, and his eyes became profound.

"General, don't you want to chase such a big fat guy? Let me lead the left-wing cavalry to catch up. I will definitely destroy it in less than half a day..."

Chang Xiaotian raised his hand vigorously to stop the deputy general's suggestion.

"You stay and guard this place. If the Northern Barbarians still turn around, you will send troops to stop them. But if you want to send troops to pursue them, don't blame me for the military law to deal with them!"

"yes!"

Although he was confused, the deputy general still accepted the order without hesitation.

...

The leader of the Northern Barbarians rode his horse and ran wildly. He didn't look back until he had run dozens of miles, and then slowly stopped his escape.

"They didn't come after them?"

The Northern Barbarian cavalry climbed up to a higher place to take a closer look, then walked up to the leader and said, "No."

"Go and inform the Imperial Preceptor that Chang Xiaotian did not fall into the trap and did not pursue him."
