Qin Gong

Chapter 168 Hehe!willing to die
Yinshan pass.

Lao Cai is wearing Qin armor and Qin sword, standing on the checkpoint.

Because of General Hu Jin's order, the Yinshan pass is now heavily guarded, and everyone is on alert.

But Lao Cai knew that Mr. Meng Yu, an official who came from Xianyang, went to Gaonu, and within a few days, with Bai Yan resigning, he would get an order to withdraw troops here.

Speaking of it, Lao Cai was also very puzzled, why Bai Yan would let the Gaonu people all move to Yuzhong, which is completely unreasonable.

In the eyes of Lao Cai, even if the Xiongnu army really went south, when the Xiongnu army arrived, the number of them could not be resisted by Bai Yan, and with General Hu Jin present, they could withdraw their troops, and even Xianyang would not blame Bai Yan.

There's absolutely no point in doing this.

Right now, the Xiongnu army does not know if it is going south or not, but Mr. Meng from Xianyang already knows about this and has already rushed to Gaonu.

What's more serious is that Yang Xian, the county guard, and Li, the censor, have written to Xianyang a few days ago.

This time, Bai Yan might really stumble.

"I don't know how General Hu Jin will respond."

Lao Cai looked in the direction of Yuzhong, and after learning that Minister Meng Yu would not enter Yuzhong and rushed to Gaonu overnight, he had ordered someone to report to General Hu Jin.

Just wait for General Hu Jin to see if there will be any orders.

Goooooooo~!

While frowning, Lao Cai suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes coming from the checkpoint behind him.

When the laborer turned around, he saw a Hun man, with his wife and children, holding a wooden card made in Qin, riding a horse to the checkpoint in a panic.

see.

Lao Cai knew that this Hun should have lived in Gaonu City before, but now he has belonged to Qin and became a Qin.

But Lao Cai was very puzzled, why the Hun appeared here at this time.

With doubts, Lao Cai soon saw two soldiers of Qin hurried to the checkpoint with the Hun and a child.

"General! This person said that the [-] Huns and the Yuezhi army have already marched south, and are now fighting against the Gaonu iron cavalry!"

A Qin official came to Lao Cai with a panicked expression, cupped his hands and said, and handed the wooden tablet of the Huns and a roll of bamboo slips to Lao Cai.

"what?"

When Lao Cai heard the news, his first reaction was that it was fake, especially the one who brought the news was a Hun.

However, when the bamboo slips were opened, there was indeed news from the pass of Yunshan Mountain. Not only was there Gao Nu's mark on it, but it was also stamped with a seal, which indeed said that the Yuezhi and Xiongnu troops had gone south, numbering [-].

If you thought it was fake at first.

But after reading the bamboo slips, Lao Cai immediately realized something was wrong, if it was true?

Thinking of this, Lao Tong's face suddenly changed, and he became flustered, especially since Bai Yan had always said before that the Huns' army would go south.

"Why are the bamboo slips here with you?"

Lao Cai looked at the name on the wooden sign, and then looked at the Hun man named Wu Muhu. He was still very puzzled at the moment.

"General, Wu Muhu snatched it from other Huns recklessly."

Wu Muhu said to Lao Cai, and then told the general Lao Cai in front of him about the origin and process of the incident.

In fact, Wu Muhu didn't know much about it, and the matter started after he left Gaonu City. Under the order of the city guard Bai Yan, he left Gaonu City with his wife and children.

Just halfway, eight Huns stopped him.

Because these eight Huns all knew that when he was young, he offended the tribal leader because of his great strength, and fled to Qin State. After meeting his wife later, he settled in Gaonu.

The purpose of those Huns to stop him was also very simple, because according to the original plan, the eight Huns had been in charge of ambush halfway and intercepted the news of the Qin army two days in advance.

But when they found out that Bai Yan, the guard of Gaonu City, suddenly asked all the people to leave Gaonu, the eight Huns realized that Bai Yan, the cavalry leader, had already guessed that the tribe was going south.

However, the eight Huns who had already left Gaonu City did not know about the arrangement of Bai Yan, the city guard, and because of their status as Huns, they could not get close to Gaonu at all, and they did not even dare to let the Qin army see them.

Fortunately, later on, they suddenly saw nearly a thousand people returning to Gaonu with bamboo slips from the sheriff, so the six of them divided into two and returned to Gaonu.
Worried about lack of manpower, the eight people found him.

"The bodies of the four frontier Qin soldiers are just five miles away."

Wu Muhu said to Lao Cai.

The moment Wu Muhu's voice fell, Lao Cai shouted angrily.

"Come on! Send a hundred cavalry to chase and kill those Huns!"

Lao Cai was really dumbfounded. Just five miles away from the Yinshan pass, the Huns actually ambushed there and cut off the news.

Although news from other passes will still be sent to Yuzhong from other places.

But at the nearest Yinshan pass, the workers who were ordered to be stationed here were not angry when they heard about this.

What scares the workers even more is that.

What Bai Yan said before was true, not only the Xiongnu army, but even the Yuezhi army went south together, and the number was as many as [-].

Looking in the direction of Gaonu City, Lao Cai's face became paler when he thought that Bai Yan might lead his cavalry to fight against the Xiongnu and Yuezhi's army alone.

"Why do you want to help Qin people?"

Lao Cai looked at Wu Muhu and asked, this was his last doubt.

Because Umuhu is from the Huns, and those Huns also promised that now the Huns already have a leader, Manchanyu, which is different from ten years ago. As long as Wumuhu makes meritorious service this time, he can return to the Huns tribe to become a small leader and get sheep.

Reasonably.

Wu Muhu would not risk his life, ignore his wife and children, and take the opportunity to send the news.

"hey-hey!"

Ebony looked at Lao Cai, with a smile on his rough face, and then looked at his son.

Beside Wu Muhu, a ten-year-old child looked at Lao Cai timidly. Perhaps because of blood relationship, this child was very scared when facing Lao Cai and Qin Zu.

But as if thinking of something, the ten-year-old was timid, like eyes that were about to cry, and gradually became firm.

"General Bai Yan is a good guy, the best guy. I want to follow General Bai Yan when I grow up, and I want to be a soldier under Lord Bai Yan."

The ten-year-old child looked at Lao Cai, and after he finished speaking, his little face was out of breath, and he lowered his head as if he had exhausted all his courage.

above the checkpoint.

All the Qin soldiers holding long spears heard the voice of the child, and the Qin soldiers who didn't know what was going on in the distance looked at the child suspiciously.

Seeing the child with the blood of the Huns and still looking timid, recalling what the child said just now, a Qin soldier looked at each other.

It was hard for them to imagine why a child with the blood of the Huns aspired to follow Bai Yan when he grew up.

Even Lao Cai, looking at this little child at this moment, was full of astonishment.

Bai Yan has only been in Gaonu for so long, even if he spends money to bribe an adult, he can't do this, let alone a child with a baby voice.

But this moment.

Lao Cai looked at the child, but he understood why Wu Muhu would send news to Qin Guo.

"Take my order and immediately pass the news to General Hu Jin."

Lao Cai turned his head and handed the bamboo slips to his cronies, and hurriedly ordered.

"promise!"

The confidant next to Lao Cai took the bamboo slips, turned and left in a hurry.

"Go to Yuzhong first, and the general will reward you in the future."

Seeing his cronies leave, Lao Cai said to Wu Mu, and then looked at the child with a worried expression on his face.

Lao Cai knew that Mr. Meng Yu had already gone to Gaonu, and he might not be able to catch up now.

What is even more frightening is that with the large armies of the Xiongnu and Yuezhi, without reinforcements, Shangjun would be in jeopardy.

Not to mention Bai Yan's cavalry army, they couldn't resist it at all.

Even here at the pass of Yinshan Mountain, they could not resist the armies of the Xiongnu and Yuezhi at all.

"As ordered!"

Wu Muhu nodded to Lao Cai, and then took his son down the checkpoint under the leadership of Qin Zu.

After half an hour.

Knowing the urgency of the matter, the workers ordered to start moving the supplies needed for the battle to the pass.

Regardless of whether he can resist it in the future, he must not retreat half a step before General Hu's order arrives.

"Get out of the way, you guys let me pass!"

The laborer was directing his subordinates, when suddenly there was a voice of arguing.

Not long after, a Qin soldier came to the pass with a Qin soldier also wearing Qin armor.

"General, this man must go to Gaonu!"

Qin Zu, who was guarding the pass, said to the laborer.

Hearing this, Lao Cai looked at the Qin soldier suspiciously.

"The Xiongnu and the Yuezhi, [-] people are in Gaonu, why did you go? Wherever you go, you will definitely die, hurry up."

Lao Cai frowned, and after he finished speaking, he wanted someone to take this Qin soldier down.

But I never thought, the words have not been finished yet.

Qin Zu smiled.

"General, if this is the case, then I am willing to die!"

Qin Zu's words, not to mention Lao Cai, even the other Qin Zu who were busy carrying the arrows, all froze in place.

"Why?"

Lao Cai frowned, and looked at Qin Zu in puzzlement.

"General Hui, my name is Gui, and I am a soldier under Bai Yan, the fifth doctor!"

Gui looked at Lao Cai, bent down and cupped his hands, stood up and pointed to the north: "Now my general is in Gaonu, even if there are [-] enemy troops, each with one man and one horse, he is willing to go to Gaonu to die."

While speaking, Gui looked at the north, and now he knew where the [-] Xiongnu and Yuezhi troops were in Gaonu City in the north.

But he's still going.

"I hope the general will let me pass!"

Gui turned his head and looked at Lao Cai's gaze, without even half dodging.

In his eyes, Bai Yan is under the northern sky, so no matter how many enemy troops there are in the north, he will still go there alone.

"You are only one person, you can't help much, going will only be a death!"

Lao Cai looked at Gui, unbelievable, and tried to persuade him.

With a smile on his face, Gui answered Lao Cai without any hesitation.

"Hey! Willing to die!"

Gui said with a smile.

Lao Cai looked at Gui's eyes, at this moment, he suddenly envied Bai Yan.

Thinking of the child with the blood of the Huns before, it was hard for him to imagine that the blood-covered boy holding a Qin sword in Yangcheng back then made him envious without knowing it.

But it was also at this moment that Lao Cai suddenly thought why Bai Yan did not hesitate to lose his official position and let the Gaonu people leave just based on guesswork.

Perhaps it was just like that that these people appeared around Bai Yan.

"Go!"

Lao Cai, who wanted to understand, did not stop Qin Zu in front of him.

Lao Cai knows that, let alone a pass in the Yinshan Mountains, for those who are not afraid of death and would rather go to death to follow Bai Yan, there is no great pass in the world that can stop them.

"Thank you General!"

Gui said with a smile, as if he had received a gift, he hurried towards the bottom of the tower.

Then, one person and one horse, at the pass of Yinshan Mountain, under the gaze of everyone, headed north.

"Bai Yan!"

Lao Cai looked at the north and murmured.
