Han Sui lay on the map, looked at it for a long time, and finally shook his head.
"If the news has leaked, the risk of a surprise attack is too great. Winning is not enough to be happy, defeat is enough to perish." He raised his head and looked at Yang Xiu. "Shizhong Yang, wait a little longer."
Yang Xiu did not comment.
He didn't say anything, and he felt that he had nothing to say to Han Sui.
"Where is Shizhong Jia?"
Han Sui saw what Yang Xiu meant and felt a little unhappy.
These children of aristocratic families are always so arrogant.
"Jia Shizhong is in the camp behind, and there are about thirty miles. If you have baggage, you can walk slowly. If you want to go, I will send someone to escort you. There are many Qiang and Hu here, and there are often robbery roads, which is not safe."
"Thank you." Although Yang Xiu didn't want to owe Han Sui's favor, he didn't dare to be too careless for safety reasons.
"Then I won't keep you." Han Sui waved his hand and signaled Cheng Gongying to take Yang Xiu out.
Cheng Gongying gave Han Sui a wink, but Han Sui was unmoved. Cheng Gongying had no choice but to say, "General, I happened to see Shizhong Jia and ask for advice, and I'll send Shizhong Yang by the way."
Han Sui frowned and said nothing.
Cheng Gongying left the tent and caught up with Yang Xiu. "The general of Zhenxi is going to deploy military service and has no time to entertain him. Please forgive me."
Yang Xiu disagreed. "It's okay. They all serve the imperial court, but their responsibilities are different." He thought for a while and said, "If the White Horse Copper is not in Lingwu Valley, where might he go?"
"It's hard to say." Cheng Gongying shook his head regretfully. "Lingwu Valley goes west, and moves across the Hushan Mountain (Helan Mountain) is the desert. They may go west, go to Duyeze, or go north, go to Tushenze. Or
Just stay in the mountains and wait for an opportunity to attack. If there is no guide, it will be a trivial matter if you can't catch up. If you get lost, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Yang Xiu didn't say anything more.
He rushed here from Hedong all the way, and suffered a lot on the way, and had a personal experience. Senei was already so difficult, and once he got out of the Congee, the difficulty can be imagined.
It is easy to pursue, but if you really get lost, it will be a disaster.
The old ministers tried their best to prevent the emperor from going on an expedition, and even sweared to the emperor that they firmly disagree with the emperor's departure, which makes sense.
Cheng Gongying led hundreds of cavalry to escort Yang Xiu, and walked quickly along the way, doing his best.
On the road, I encountered scouts from the Huns several times, following them like wolves. If there were no Cheng Gongying, no one could guarantee whether Yang Xiu would be in danger.
On the way, Cheng Gongying met Ma Chao.
Ma Chao had just chased and killed a group of Xiongnu scouts, and killed three people with blood, with a murderous intent.
"These Hu dogs are too arrogant." Ma Chao cursed: "How dare you go deep into the hinterland of the North, and the prefect of the North don't care?"
Cheng Gongying introduced them and specifically stated that Yang Xiu was ordered to go on an envoy and just saw that the White Horse and Copper came back.
Ma Chao looked at Yang Xiu and grinned. "The three masters of the fourth generation are indeed very good. What is the appearance of the white horse bronze and how is the martial arts? Tell me, I will not miss it next time I meet him."
Yang Xiu said: "Then I won't tell you anymore. I still want to kill him with my own hands."
"you?"
"Why, I look down on me?" Yang Xiu laughed twice. "My ancestors were also named Marquis of military merits."
Ma Chao looked at Yang Xiu in surprise.
He only knew that Hongnong Yang was a descendant of classics, but he did not know that Hongnong Yang was also a marquis of military merits. What surprised him the most was that Yang Xiu was not ashamed, but rather proud.
This is very different from the children of aristocratic families he has come into contact with, and he suddenly feels good about it.
"Is that right? Then find an opportunity to discuss and discuss?"
"I can't ask for it." Yang Xiu agreed immediately.
Ma Chao laughed loudly, reached out to hold Yang Xiu's arm, shook it hard, and said to Cheng Gongying: "Okay, I'll send Mr. Yang to see the gentleman, you go back."
Cheng Gongying pointed at the dark sky and said angrily: "It's midnight, do you want me to rush back? You're so embarrassed to say it."
Ma Chao patted his head and reached out to pull Cheng Gongying. "Forget it, forget it. Don't be angry. I'm afraid that Uncle Wen Yue will be suspicious. Let's go, I'll invite you to drink."
Cheng Gongying pushed Ma Chao's hand away calmly. "Let's talk about it later. It's getting late, so it's better to take a break early. Tomorrow morning, report to the teacher as soon as possible and ask him to make a plan. If the time is delayed, the white horse and copper can be used.
It really ran away."
Ma Chao felt it was reasonable and scolded his subordinates to return to the camp.
Yang Xiu could see clearly, and left some thoughts, and talked with Ma Chao for a few words.
Ma Chao was in a good mood, half ridiculing and half serious, Han Sui spent so much effort to win the opportunity to be a pioneer. He should have sought a gap to attack, but now hesitated, and he might miss the opportunity to fight.
Cheng Gongying turned a deaf ear and looked as usual.
Yang Xiu was confused, but he didn't ask much.
It was already late at night when I returned to the camp.
Ma Chao arranged for Yang Xiu and Cheng Gongying to rest, and asked Yang Xiu what kind of woman he liked.
Yang Xiu has also seen the world and is not surprised at all. "It's fine to serve, there are opportunities in the future. If Meng Qi is not tired, I have a few things to ask you for advice."
Ma Chao was overjoyed. "Okay, then we will squeeze together tonight."
He still called two Hu girls and asked them to wait for Yang Xiu to wash, and then brought some wine and meat to drink with Yang Xiu.
The two of them took their seats, exchanged cups and drank a few drinks.
"What kind of wine is this? It's so erratic." Yang Xiu bared his teeth.
"Qian wine is made of highland barley produced in Qiang land, as strong as Qiang girls. But if you don't have any trouble, drink it with confidence." Ma Chao said, adding another glass of wine to Yang Xiu. "What do you want to ask? Ask casually, I know
All said."
Yang Xiu looked at Ma Chao. "Does Meng Qi know that your name has been passed into the emperor's ears?"
Ma Chao's eyes flashed slightly. "Is that true?"
"Your Majesty Jia once said that the northwest was a good general, and Meng Qi was the most popular among the young heroes."
When Ma Chao heard that Jia Xu praised him like this in front of the emperor, he felt relieved and could not hide the smile on his face, but he said a few words of humility.
"But why did Meng Qi not be a pioneer, but instead let Han Wen make the appointment to be a pioneer?" Yang Xiu looked puzzled. "As Meng Qi said, Han Wen's appointment is so steady, I am afraid that he will miss the opportunity to fight."
The smile on Ma Chao's face gradually dissipated, he held the wine glass in his hand and pondered for a moment.
"This shouldn't be said, but Dezu and I fell in love with you at first sight, so I won't hide it from you. Han Wenyue had a few leaders of Qiang and Hu. He had used Duan Gong to challenge the Eastern Qiang, and was familiar with the battle formation and was familiar with the North.
Geography. No one else can do this pioneer except him.”
Yang Xiu immediately asked, "Are there any Huns?"
Ma Chao glanced at Yang Xiu, raised his wine glass, and drank it all with Yang Xiu.
"Duan Duan quelled the Qiang Rebellion, and he had thousands of followers under his command, and he had all kinds of people. He was not just the Huns? But don't think that the Huns would definitely have the same heart as the Huns. Their hatreds might be between them.
It is even greater than the hatred between the Han and the Huns. Han Wen's promise is not because of the Huns, but because he is worried that the losses will be too great, which will affect his wealth."
