Chapter 63: The Enemy of the North

Although Qin Shaofu had made some psychological preparations before coming to withstand the unreasonableness of King Xia, in the following days, he still felt that he underestimated this family that was trying to die.

The entire Jiuding City was filled with a scattered atmosphere, and everything was carried out in an extraordinary and orderly manner. The so-called preparations took more than ten days to finish, and they were just the first batch of things.

When the team finally decided to start, Qin Shaofu was relieved because he was really worried that he would not be able to bear it anymore. It was not just a matter, but also someone.

"Wild...guard!"

Si Mingjue's voice may suddenly appear at any time, as it always is disgusting: "I like the red recently, the red horse is strong, give me your horse!"

The world is so wonderful, but I am like this... Qin Shaofu took a deep breath, then turned around and smiled: "Abide by the order, prince."

Without hesitation, he turned over and dismounted, and stood honestly aside.

Such a reaction obviously did not satisfy Si Mingjue, and he said in a deep voice: "You are too tall, squat down and wait for me to get on the horse!"

Qin Shaofu took a deep breath again, looked up at the sky, and saw the black dots turned into by the eagle. This was to calm down and smiled slightly: "Criminal, it's okay!"

Then he patted his jujube horse's back and his mount immediately knelt on the ground. This horse is the best horse in the Qin Palace and is well-trained.

Seeing that it was not difficult for the other party, Si Mingjue snorted and stepped forward. Qin Shaofu greeted again, and the red horse immediately stood up and sniffed, as if he didn't want to carry other people.

Qin Shaofu patted the horse's neck to comfort it, then went over to ride another horse. He didn't continue to feel uncomfortable here, so he hurriedly left the prince's sight to find the fourth prince.

Huangfu Changqing was discussing what he was walking with the commander of the guard Yao Qiang. The two left the team moving forward with a serious expression. Obviously, there was something important to others. Seeing him coming, he hurriedly said, "You are here just in time, something big happened."

Qin Shaofu seemed to have expected it: "But nomadic peoples appeared?"

Huangfu Changqing was stunned and said in a daze: "How did you know?"

Qin Shaofu pointed to the sky: "I found that Haidongqing in the morning, hovering in the sky until now. It is impossible for ordinary Haidongqing to do this. If I guess correctly, it should be the Guifang Xinying Wizard."

Yao Qiang hurriedly looked up, and after looking carefully, his pupils suddenly shrank. As the second prince's chief guard, his strength was naturally extraordinary and he was already in the Qihai realm. However, he was also from a noble family and had limited experience on the battlefield, so he didn't know about this, so he didn't pay attention to it, so he naturally saw it at this moment.

"The nomadic peoples are our general term for the northern nations, headed by the three tribes of Quanrong, Guifang, and Diqiang, and united with various tribes. Among them, Guifang's wizards are the most magical. Some of them can bless others and give soldiers stronger combat power, while others can combine their souls with animals."

Qin Shaofu slowly explained: "The latter, we call it the Xinying Wizard. What Xinying sees is what they see, and not just the eagle. As far as I know, they can also control the wolf and the white fox. To put it simply, he can monitor us by manipulating Haidongqing at a place thirty miles away from us. He can see clearly the movements of our troops."

"ah!"

Huangfu Changqing was shocked: "I just received the information sent by General Geng of Tongling, saying that the enemy from the north was attacking. As we had expected before, it was coming in a fierce manner, with more than in previous years, and more than expected, at least 250,000, and it was about to reach... It seems that the information was wrong and it has arrived."

If the enemy intentionally came to him, at least more than 50,000 soldiers were brave and warlike soldiers. However, only three thousand cavalry and two thousand Xia Kings could not withstand it.

"It shouldn't be yet!" Qin Shaofu shook his head: "The nomadic people are not as reckless as the rumors. On the contrary, they are very cautious. The environment in the north is harsh and their fertility is not as good as in the south, so they actually cherish the lives of soldiers more."

"According to the past, they sent the Ghost Party's Xinying Wizard to inquire about the defense situation in the North and then attacked, so that casualties could be avoided. It is precisely because of this that although they suffered casualties in each invasion, they never really hurt their vitality."

"But in the past they only had 100,000 troops at most. If this time it was really 250,000, I suspect that their purpose was not to plunder the border, but us."

"We!" Huangfu Changqing frowned: "What do you mean... someone in the Great Han Dynasty had an affair with them?"

Before Qin Shaofu could answer, he sighed softly: "That's right, otherwise it wouldn't be so coincidental. Actually, I've guessed that I just don't want to think in this direction."

"I also thought about taking advantage of the situation in Tongling Pass to restrain us. We will change our itinerary and speed up our speed. We will first enter Liaodong, and at the same time send someone to send a letter to the Tang family for support. In this way, even if the nomadic people know the situation here, they will follow the wrong direction at the first time, but as you said... "

There is a faith eagle in the sky, and no matter what you do, you will fall into a passive state.

After thinking about it, there was no way, so I could only ask: "Do you have any good ideas?"

Qin Shaofu looked at the sky and said in a deep voice: "Unless you leave all the burden behind, you will have the opportunity to protect you and the King of Xia from danger, but you only have the chance, and the chance is not high. The combat effectiveness of the Diqiang cavalry is not as good as that of the Daxia Dragon Bird, but they are all light cavalry, and I have never seen the speed of the marching faster than them."

"In addition, there is also Xinying surveillance. If you just escape blindly, you will be caught at least 80%. Hai Dongqing's vision at night is far less than half a day, and the sun will set off for more than an hour. In my opinion, I will temporarily camp and make a decision as soon as possible whether to go south or east, and then rush to the road at night."

Huangfu Changqing had no good idea at this moment, so he nodded immediately, and then asked the chief guard to send orders and camp on the spot.

It was precisely because of the long journey that the Xia Wang family complained that they could rest and had a good time, so they quickly set up camp on the spot.

The map is well-set inside the tent, and the entire Jibei Plain can be seen clearly.

Huangfu Changqing looked at Qin Shaofu with a serious face: "Yao Qiang and I are not familiar with the situation in the north, so now we can only listen to everything."

Qin Shaofu pinched it down, looked at the map and pondered for a moment, pointed to the map and said, "We only have three choices for the plan now. First, take everyone to continue south, and the possibility of being caught up is 90% the lower the plan. Second, go east, even if you leave the burden behind, the possibility of being caught up is 70%.

Huangfu Changqing immediately interrupted him and asked, "Is it still 70% marching at night?"

Qin Shaofu nodded on the map and said, "Our current location is closer to Liaodong. Normal thinking, if we don't go south, we will definitely go east."

"Although we can hide some marching at night, they only need to use Haidongqing to explore the south during the day and cannot find our traces, and they will know that we are heading east, not to mention that such a large group of people cannot cover up the traces. We only have one night time difference, and there is not much."

Yao Qiang immediately asked, "Isn't this hopeless?"

Qin Shaofu shook his head: "Of course there is hope!"

Then he gave a point in the West: "Walking west is the best choice, and we can have 80% hope of getting out of danger!"

"Why?" Huangfu Changqing asked hurriedly.

Qin Shaofu was about to speak when he suddenly heard a loud noise outside and many people began to walk around.

Yao Qiangzhen was about to go out to inquire, but a guard rushed in and shouted: "Report to the Fourth Prince, an unknown person suddenly appeared to attack the camp. The baggage was set on fire, and the losses were greatly reduced."

"How many people have come?" Huangfu Changqing asked hurriedly.

"About fifty people, all the scouts released were killed. The situation outside the camp was unclear and they dared not rush out rashly."

"What!" Huangfu Changqing hurriedly ordered: "Yao Qiang, you go and deal with this matter!"

"Abide by the order!"

The chief guard rushed out immediately.

Huangfu Changqing looked at Qin Shaofu again and said, "It seems that the situation is more troublesome than expected."

"Not bad!" Qin Shaofu frowned: "But Isn't it stupid to choose to set fire to the baggage in this kind of weather?"

It takes a lot of effort to set fires in a row. If it is raining, it will take a lot of effort to cause losses. If it is yourself, what should you do at this time?

After thinking for a moment, his face suddenly changed drastically, and he shouted in secretly, "Be careful!"

After saying that, he kicked the candlestick that was lighted by the side.

As soon as he hit one, he heard Huangfu Changqing screaming in pain, and a sharp arrow penetrated his chest and shot to the ground.
