Wei Wuyin couldn't help but want to laugh.
…
Maodun took the lead and ran in the white world for an unknown period of time. When he saw that there were no pursuers behind him, he reined in his horse.
He counted the soldiers around him and found that there were only twelve left.
Thinking back to a few days ago, he was so high-spirited.
He led an army of 300,000 to launch a surprise attack on the Great Zhou. The journey was smooth and without any setbacks, and they arrived at the city of Jingzhou.
The defenders in the city are better than nothing, and their grand plan of hegemony is just around the corner.
But he didn't expect that after just one day, there would only be these twelve people left by his side...
Maodun suddenly felt a little sad.
"Chanyu, there are two roads ahead. Which one should we take?"
Maodun came to his senses and asked, "Which road is closer to Wuzhou Pass?"
"We need to cross Wuzhou Pass as quickly as possible and return to the grasslands!"
"Liang Chou has stationed 3,000 soldiers at Wuzhou Pass. Once we reach Wuzhou Pass, we can rest easy!"
The guards replied, "Replying to Chanyu, we lost our way in our previous escape and ended up going deep into Jingzhou."
"According to Master Jia's map, there are only two ways to reach Wuzhou Pass."
"A big road and a small road."
"The main road is relatively stable, but it requires an additional fifty miles of detour, and we are likely to encounter pursuers from the Great Zhou along the way."
"The path is called Huarong Road. It's only forty miles away and will lead you to Wuzhou Pass."
"It's just that the land is narrow and the roads are dangerous, with potholes and bumps that make it difficult to travel."
To be on the safe side, Maodun ordered his men to find a high place to observe the conditions of the two roads.
Soon, the guards came to report: "Report to the Chanyu, we can see smoke rising from several places in the distance along the path."
"But there was no movement on the road. Not a wisp of smoke from cooking fires or dust from galloping horses could be seen."
Maodun immediately led his men along the Huarong Road path.
Seeing this, the guards were even more puzzled and asked, "Chanyu, where there's smoke from cooking, there must be people. In such a dangerous place, there must be an ambush. Why do you choose to take this small road?"
Maodun laughed heartily and said, "Haven't you heard of it?"
"As the Art of War says: When the enemy is weak, fill it up; when the enemy is strong, weaken it."
"Whether it's the Empress of the Great Zhou or Chen Wujiu, they are both well-versed in military tactics and are skilled in strategy."
"If I were them, I would definitely order people to burn smoke on this small road to bluff and scare off our remaining troops, so that they can leisurely wait for us to pass by on the main road."
"I have seen through their tricks. You must not fall for them!"
The guards nodded repeatedly and flattered:
"As expected of the Chanyu, you are so wise and resourceful. The Zhou people are nothing to you!"
Maodun immediately took the lead and led his men to Huarong Road.
But he never expected that Huarong Road would be so difficult to walk on.
When they were halfway there, they were so hungry that they could not move any further, and their horses collapsed to the ground, refusing to move.
Their clothes were all soaked, and in this freezing winter, they were in great pain.
The twelve men abandoned their horses and gathered together, huddling together for warmth while supporting each other as they moved forward.
Maodun knew that he would not be able to reach Wuzhou Pass in this way.
He immediately stepped forward quickly, stood on a ridge, and suddenly shouted: "I see the Wuzhou Pass, it's just ahead, just over a few more ridges and we'll be there!"
"There's still smoke from the cooking fires of the good and ugly armies ahead."
"They must have prepared food and hot water for us!"
Upon hearing this.
Everyone immediately became energized, and even their steps became more vigorous.
Following Maodun, we cut through thorns and crossed mountains and rivers, and finally crossed this most difficult and dangerous road.
Maodun looked back and saw that there were only eight people left behind him.
Four people fell on the road, dying, and were cruelly abandoned by Maodun.
Perhaps it was the huge gap that made Maodun difficult to accept.
He recalled the hardships along the way and laughed out loud again.
The guards behind him all looked pale.
Don’t you know that you are a jinx?
It’s okay if you don’t laugh, but if you do laugh, something bad will definitely happen.
They struggled forward, ready to knock the hysterical Chanyu unconscious to prevent him from causing trouble.
However, they were one step too late.
Maodun began to look down on everyone, saying contemptuously, "Everyone says that the Great Zhou Emperor and Chen Wujiu are resourceful and resourceful."
"Now it seems that he is nothing but shit. He is nothing but an incompetent person!"
"If they were to ambush a group of people here, we would be captured without a fight."
"Hahaha--"
Maodun had just started to laugh when a roar was heard in the sky.
At this time, the guards were only a finger's distance away from Maodun, but it seemed like a chasm that could never be crossed.
As soon as they heard the hissing sound, they all froze in place as if frozen, slowly raised their heads, and stared blankly at the signal arrow in the sky.
After several breaths, everyone collapsed to the ground.
His eyes were full of despair.
It's over.
It's all fucking over.
Just a little bit slower.
The Chanyu, this crow's mouth, has summoned an ambush again...
