Chapter 400: Accidentally Hitting Cheng Yaojin

"Are you Cheng Yaojin?"

Dong Xuan looked at the person in front of him and asked, secretly amazed.

I didn't expect that he had such a person under his command!

I saw that Cheng Yaojin had pointed eyebrows and bright eyes.

His face was pimpled with strange flesh, his sloppy mouth revealed fangs, his cheeks were covered with curly pink beard, and his hair was long and short and fluffy behind his ears.

Just by looking at his appearance, you can tell that he is not just an ordinary person, he must be a capable person!

Cheng Yaojin grinned, not serious at all: "General Dong, I am Cheng Yaojin."

Dong Xuan patted his shoulder and laughed, "Cheng Yaojin, you discovered the Xiongnu's actions and performed a great service!"

"I will appoint you as the commander-in-chief, how about commanding the entire city?"

"Thank you, General!"

Cheng Yaojin had a smile on his face, but his rough appearance made him look really scary.

Dong Xuan then asked, "Cheng Yaojin, how did you discover the Xiongnu's movements? Tell me in detail."

Cheng Yaojin said with a playful smile: "General Dong, this is what happened."

"At night, I went out on patrol as usual..."

"Cheng Yaojin, you're bluffing again! You were in a hurry to pee, weren't you? You were out on patrol!"

Cheng Yaojin was about to speak when he was interrupted by the personal guards behind Dong Xuan laughing.

Cheng Yaojin's old face flushed with embarrassment, and he angrily said, "What are you pissing on! Xiao Wuzi, you are making up stories about me again!"

"I've always been conscientious about my duties. If my superiors assign me to patrol at night, I will give my utmost effort and will not compromise even a little bit!"

Dong Xuan glared at Xiao Wuzi, patted Cheng Yaojin on the shoulder and said, "Old Cheng, go on. Don't bother with him."

Cheng Yaojin glanced at Xiao Wuzi and said proudly, "General, you are sensible."

Then he turned his head, looked at Dong Xuan and said, "Tonight, I have been ordered to patrol the city wall."

"I don't know why, but I felt a strong murderous aura coming from the north. It was chilling."

"I immediately became alert, and my heart immediately rose to my throat."

"I looked closely and felt that there seemed to be a dark shadow swaying in the distance."

"I shouted, 'Who is coming?'"

"I didn't expect that black shadow to suddenly appear from the side and charge straight at me with a spear. I slapped him and his horse away..."

Xiao Wuzi was glared at by the general just now, and he pursed his lips and muttered:

"He's talking nonsense, all mixed up."

"How did this guy achieve such a great achievement?"

"Just now they said they were patrolling the city walls, how could they have run into Xiongnu cavalry?"

"Could it be that all the Huns have wings and can fly?"

"He even slapped the man and the horse away..."

"Pooh!"

"Where on earth does this guy get his luck? He's usually nowhere to be seen, disappearing for days at a time. He even runs into the Huns when he goes out of town to pee at night!"

Cheng Yaojin was so excited about his boasting that he didn't even notice the complaints.

Dong Xuan just waved his hand secretly, signaling Xiao Wuzi to retreat.

How come he didn't realize earlier that there was such a talented person under his command!

According to Cheng Yaojin's narration, he fought with 3,000 Xiongnu cavalry for an hour, with blood flowing like a river and the sky dark and pitch black.

After finally breaking out of the encirclement, I saw the whistling arrows on the ground.

Only then did they fire arrows as a warning.

After saying that.

Cheng Yaojin picked up the kettle, gulped down several gulps, and said, "General Dong, that's exactly what happened."

Dong Xuan listened attentively, searching for clues in his words patiently, and did not interrupt Cheng Yaojin's bragging.

After a moment's silence, he asked in a focused voice, "What did you just say the Xiongnu cavalry looked like?"

Cheng Yaojin was completely unaware and grinned, "The horse's legs were wrapped in thick cloth, and its mouth was clamped, so there was no sound at all. It was like a ghost, appearing and disappearing mysteriously."

This is to hide your tracks.

But he didn't expect that it would be discovered by Cheng Yaojin by accident.

Dong Xuan stroked his beard and fell into deep thought.

What is this trying to do?

If they wanted to launch a surprise attack on Huizhou City, they should have attacked the city quickly the moment the whistling arrows sounded.

Why just surround them and not attack?

What exactly were the Huns' intentions?

If they were marching secretly and their goal was not to launch a surprise attack on Huizhou City, what was their goal?

Bypass the defense line set up by the prince in You and Bing areas?

After bypassing the defense line, can they still go back?

Although there are few people deployed behind the defense line, there are still arrangements. Sooner or later, they will be discovered.

Dong Xuan couldn't figure it out, so he turned to look at Cheng Yaojin and said in a muffled voice:

"Old Cheng, these Xiongnu bastards are surrounding us but not fighting us. What do you think?"

Cheng Yaojin said solemnly with a straight face, "He must be plotting something bad!"

"When the Xiongnu came, they burned, killed, and looted, taking all the men and women with them and making them slaves on the grasslands."

"But this time he's doing it secretly. He must be planning to do something big!"

Cheng Yaojin still felt a little scared.

Fortunately, he was worried about his mother at home a few days ago and sneaked back.

Then I carried my mother on my back to Jingzhou overnight, and met several fellow villagers who had fled there earlier.

These older brothers from the same hometown were all helping the imperial court build canals and dig waterways.

The whole family has white rice to eat every day and some meat once a month.

Life is so comfortable and rich.

This day is so promising.

He was also a strong man and wanted to stay in Jingzhou to dig the canal and take good care of his mother.

But the Prince of Yan had been very kind to their family before, and I must force him to return to the army and repay the Prince of Yan, otherwise I would kill myself.
