Chapter three hundred and eighteen water to mud cover

Huo Bing's words did not calm down Hua Ji'an's mood, but instead made him feel even more uneasy. Huo Bing's people are not afraid of death. To put it nicely, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, but to put it bluntly, the ignorant one is fearless. Hua Ji'an is the most familiar with what the Huai Army is. Hua Ji'an claims to be excellent, but that is only compared to other vassal kings and regiments in the country who guarded the places, they are incomparable to Liu Yu's soldiers. Outside Nanhua Pass, there is a grassland and the world of Turkic cavalry.

Hua Ji'an followed the army out of Nanhua Pass with a complicated and anxious mood and entered the endless grassland.

Each person took two horses, rode one, and tied another behind him. Because there were no soldiers on the grassland, he had to march quickly, so he could only change horses and run fast. The speed would be much slower.

The most important thing to march on the grassland is to distinguish the difference between mountains. In most places where there are no mountains, you must distinguish the difference between grass.

The tall grass can reach the belly of the horse, while the low grass can only have no horse's hooves and has a guide to guide the way. It is not fast to walk along the way, and it is completely impossible to follow the pass for 800 miles.

"No, it's not good, it's not good, it's not good, this is not good! If you keep going like this, all the credit will be ruined!" After rushing for a morning and walking for dozens of miles, Huo Bing complained a little, mainly because he complained that the guide was riding a horse was too slow.

"Mr. Jun., few people dare to do business in Jinyao City. Now that they are so chaotic, who dares to leave? I am not as good as you!" The person who leads the way was a middle-aged man with a Shandong accent, that is, a businessman who travels abroad all year round. Only such a guide can accurately find the direction of Jinyao City.

"Tie him on, tie him on the horse! I will tie him up and run with my horse myself!"

Huo Bing ordered that the guide was in trouble. He had already been employed by the court, but he thought he could make a fortune. Who knew that the general was a fool, so he directly tied him to the horse, and then the reins of the horse were tied up by Huo Bing, and he couldn't help but feel uncontrollably.

"June, please spare your life!"

After that, the guide said something else. Huo Bing was too lazy to understand. He just stopped the road until sunset and dusk. He took the guide off his horse and took a rest for a while. At this time, the guide was already thrusting and vomiting and diarrhea all the way, and he was almost exhausted.

"Master Jun, I have never seen you always travel like this. Just spare me and let me go back!" The guide knelt down and begged Huo Bing.

"Stop talking nonsense, how can I find Jin Yaocheng after you leave? If you can't arrive on time, I'll chop you up!"

The guide was crying loudly when he heard this, crying and howling, and Hua Ji'an felt a little unbearable. He was a soldier and barely kept up with the rhythm of the perverted marching. He was an ordinary citizen. He felt that Huo Bing was indeed a bit too much to make things difficult for others like this. However, if he was not so excessive, he would not be able to go to Jin Yaocheng in time.

The guide cried, and there was a sound of wolf's horns in the distance. Huo Bing, who was not afraid of the world, was a little scared. Huo Bing looked around and said in a little fear: "Damn it, are there really wolves on the grassland?"

Although wolves are not rare animals in the world, Guanzhong is rich and there are few wildernesses. Huo Bing has heard of wolves but has not witnessed them. He is not afraid of Turkic cavalry. Huo Bing is actually afraid of wolves. Hua Ji'an smiled helplessly. It seems that one thing defeats one thing.

"Hurry... go!" Huo Bing said, "If you don't hurry, I will lose all my credit. Who, don't cry, I will add money to you when I get there, and I will add... five taels, how about it?"

The guide was also stunned. The court promised to give 200 taels of silver. This extra silver would be five taels at once? What's the difference between not adding it?

He didn't know that the promised five taels of silver was paid out of his own pocket. For Huo Bing, who was born in a poor family, five taels were already an astronomical figure. He felt that this should be an extremely attractive price.

"June, why don't you add 500 taels?" the guide asked tentatively.

"Five hundred taels?" Huo Bing was anxious at the moment, "Do you think I'm worth five hundred taels? You're going to kill my master's life. Come on, tie him up and continue to set off!"

This time the guide was completely helpless and sat on the ground and cried, but instead was tied to the horse and cried. Huo Bing ignored it and ran far in one direction. Then the guide shouted: "June, you are running in the wrong direction!"

After being whipped by Huo Bing, the guide was honest, neither crying nor making a fuss, and honestly pointed out the direction.

"I still say I can't be fooled or not, who can listen to the words of my master?"

The road I was originally planning to finish was a day and night, but the next day, the morning light showed no sign of Jin Yaocheng. Huo Bing looked depressed and rushed slowly that night, but he walked more than 200 miles and more than 400 miles a day and one night, and half the distance from Jin Yaocheng.

"I hope that Liu, who is surnamed Liu, will leave me some reward!" Huo Bing muttered while he was resting.

Hua Ji'an thought to himself that with Huo Bing's army with such high ability, he could not achieve the feat of going from Chang'an City to the front line for four days and four nights. Min Shaoqing's imperial army had been very fast after half a month. I wonder where Liu Yu is now and whether he is on the other road.

In the pass, there is basically no time to rest, and I am rushing all the way, but outside the pass, because the wind is strong, the body is prone to discomfort and the air is a little thin. If you don’t rest for a while, you will feel as uncomfortable as suffocating. Not only do people need to rest, but horses also need to rest. The two horses transfer, and the horse is so tired that it is almost impossible to hold on.

It cannot be completed in four days, so I have to complete it in five days.

Everyone rested for two hours in the morning and continued to rush forward. On the second night, they encountered Turkic scattered soldiers. Huo Bing led a small group to attack and won a complete victory. A Turkic camp was looted. Huo Bing looked proud, but Hua Ji'an knew that the vanguard army had been exposed to the Turkic people's vision. Huo Bing acted as a hero and was in trouble.

"Hurry up and go." Hua Ji'an said to Huo Bing, "We have entered the Turkic ambush circle. In less than an hour, the surrounding camps will gather troops, and we will have no way out!"

"Get out? Brother Hua, you are too cautious. We didn't plan to retreat today. I have said that soldiers come and generals come to block the water... The mud is covered, that's what it should be said. If we run away, I will have no shame to hang out again in the future!"

After a while, you can see the light of the camp in the distance, one or two hundred miles away, passing three or four Turkish camps. However, the camp in Dashunchao, who fought against the Turks, was not seen. Along the way, many Turkic cavalry scouts had been discovered by many Turkic cavalry scouts. After passing by, there were many pursuers behind them.

"Damn it, if I hadn't been in a hurry to rush, I'd have killed them all first! I dare to chase me!"

It was dawn, on the morning of the sixth day of the fifth month. After a long-distance attack, the troops finally ushered in a short rest time. At this time, only forty miles away from Jinyao City, they were at the periphery of the Turks besieged by the encirclement of Jinyao City.
