The fire is getting brighter and brighter.It's like the sun rises into the middle of the sky.It was Ashina Sabi who put a lot of firewood in his hand."
If you deal with ordinary scouts, let's use the first and second steps are enough, and if they are powerful characters, use the third step, you can definitely put them to death.""
Which method do we use?""
Can I use them all?"
Ashina Sabi glanced at him."
Huh?
OK. ”The little leader of the wolf guard nodded respectfully and said, "I'll take care of this matter." ”Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the Turkic characters that Ashina Shabi had drawn on the ground with firewood, and his heart became more and more respectful.This is a script that only Turkic nobles can master.And Tong Jin is also proficient in the Tang Dynasty, and can also speak the languages of Tibet and Tocharo, as if it is a matter of the world, there is nothing he can't do."
There's no hurry."
Ashina Shabi said calmly: "The matter of erasing the traces will be handed over to you, and the matter of setting a trap will be handed over to Arni, and then the matter of leaving a false clue, let Kanni Hei come." ”"Yes."
The leader of the wolf guard, whose name he mentioned, all punched himself in the chest to signify his order.After giving these instructions, Ashina Sabi took the firewood in his hand, lit it on the ground, and was silent for a long time.The rest of the leaders waited for a long time, but did not see him speak, and could not help but look at each other.Just when they were puzzled, Ashina Sabi spoke again: "If it's just a powerful character, it's enough to use the third step, but what if the enemy you're tracking is even more powerful than you think?"
”"What did you say?
We don't understand. ”The leader of the wolf guard swallowed.Ashina Shabi shook his head and said: "If the Tang army sends someone to chase after him, he will definitely send the best person in their army to track, and the smartest and most powerful person to chase after him, then, assuming he can see through these three steps......
Looks like I'll have to prepare one more move. ”"Chess?""
You don't understand, sometimes, fighting wits with people is like playing chess.Even though we couldn't see each other, I knew he was going to win me, and I was going to win him. ”Ashina Shabi raised his gaze, threw himself at the wind and snow whistling outside the cave, and muttered to himself: "This wind and snow, as well as the Jinshan Mountain Range, is the chessboard between me and the Tang Army's trackers, and every step of strategy is our landing."
I'll have to take a few more steps than he does. ”…… As the day dawned, the wind and snow finally stopped.Su Dawei and Ashina Daozhen dug out of the mountain depression and got out of the ice and snow.It was just one night, and the whole mountain, as far as the eye could see, was all white."
It's unbelievable that it snowed so much in just one night."
Su Dawei stretched out his foot and stepped on it, and the snow last night could already cover the instep."
It's not that much snow."
Ashina Daozhen took a breath of hot air into his palm, rubbed his hands and said, "I've seen something bigger than this, and it accumulates to knees high overnight." ”After speaking, he thought for a while and said: "We have to start early, it's just such a little snow, it's hard to say that it will start to melt at noon, and the snow will turn into water, and there will really be no way to track it." ”"I knew I should have found a hound."
Su Dawei shook his head regretfully."
Hey, the hounds are also raised by our Hu people on the grassland, not only hounds, but also falcons."
Ashina really laughed, and raised his voice behind him: "Zhao Hu'er, Zhao Hu'er." ”As he shouted, a young man who was not very tall and had thin shoulders ran over.His first impression of Su Dawei was that nose, which was unusually tall and slightly hooked.However, the other facial features on the face are typical Han facial features.Ashina Daozhen patted Zhao Hu'er on the shoulder and introduced: "This is my subordinate Zhao Hu'er, he Aye is a Han Chinese, his mother is a steppe Turk, earlier their family was doing business, and later met robbers and was taken in by my tribe. ”Su Dawei looked at Ashina Daozhen and didn't understand why he called this Zhao Hu'er over.Ashina Dao really said a little proudly: "Zhao Hu'er has a natural ability, his nose is not lost to the hound, hehe, there are many people in my group who have the ability." ”"Even if it's a real hound, the snow will wash away the smell when it turns into water."
Su Dawei glanced at Zhao Hu'er, nodded and said, "But it's also a hope, I didn't expect that Dao Zhen still has a lot of chickens and dogs under you." ”"What rooster and dog thief?
Is it a curse?
”"Absolutely not, have you ever heard the story of the three thousand disciples under Meng Weijun during the Warring States Period?
These chickens and dog thieves helped Meng Yanjun ......"
In Su Dawei's casual story about Meng Yanjun, the scouts finally packed up and set off.If you want to find the enemy's traces, it is difficult to say, and it is easy to say.First of all, the Jinshan Mountains, which will later be the Altai Mountains, are not something that can be climbed casually.Most of the ridges are either too steep or rocky and difficult to get underfoot.There are only three paths that can really accommodate people or animals.One is called the old road of Jinshan.It is an ancient road that has been discovered by shepherds since the Western Han Dynasty and has been walking.One is called Jinshankou, it is rumored that when Cao Cao conquered the Hu people in the Eastern Han Dynasty, in order to facilitate the transfer of grain routes, he ordered the wrestlers to open the mountains and build bridges in the mountains, and they were forced to dig a road in the mountains and forests.The last one is called the sheep slope.Fifty years ago, when a shepherd was driving sheep, his sheep were frightened by wolves, and they accidentally hit a sheep intestine path.But if you want to climb the golden mountain, jump from the north peak to the south, the only thing to go is these three.Unless all the Turkic wolf guards are turned into birds, they will definitely not come out of these three routes.Of the three trails, the Jinshan Ancient Road is the steepest, but the route is the closest.Jinshankou is relatively gentle, but if you have to take a long detour, the whole journey is almost twice the distance.The sheep grazing slope is the most hidden, but it is also narrow.Only one person can pass sideways.With a war horse, you can't get by no matter what.What Su Dawei wants to determine now is how to confirm the path that the enemy really takes among these three roads.You know, three paths represent three different outcomes.The old road of Jinshan is close, but it is steep and difficult to walk.Jinshankou is easy to walk, easy for people and horses, but it is a long detour.There was a snow last night, and now the snow is half melted and half melted, and it is almost impossible to get on the horse and ride, so you can only lead the horse honestly.As a result, time has to be delayed a lot.Finally, there is the sheep slope.If you take this road, it means that the accompanying war horses have to give up their baggage.If they find an enemy, they are fine, but if they are not, the scouts will lose the ability to continue tracking.No horses, no food, in the snowy mountains of gold, means death."
Apart from these three paths, there shouldn't be a fourth way, right?"
Standing in front of a hillside, Su Dawei led his war horse and asked Ashina beside him."
No, if there is, I'll know."
Ashina Daozhen said, looking into the distance, from his current position, he could faintly see his scouts investigating along the entrances of the three roads.This may take a little time.Moreover, there are unforeseen risks.If the other party had stepped on one of them before the storm and snow came yesterday, then all traces and smells would have been buried by the ice and snow.If you're lucky, if the other person is not too far from you, you'll leave traces on the snow.Su Dawei now hopes that the god of luck will be on his side.Otherwise, we have to find another way."
Pounds!"
In the distance, I suddenly saw someone waving his hand and shouting, "Found it, over here." ”"Let's go, go over and have a look."
Ashina Dao really breathed a sigh of relief and led the horse over.Su Dawei followed behind him and asked, "What did he call you?"
”"Tong Jin, it is the meaning of the chieftain of the army, don't look at me as a Tang person now, I also have a layer of identity as the chief of the Eastern Turks of the grassland, if the court is crowned an official in the future, maybe one day I will become the commander of the Eastern Turks.""
Uh, so powerful?"
Su Dawei was quite surprised.However, if you think about it carefully, the imperial court has always used a policy of restraint to manage the surrounding Tibetan states, so that their forces are divided, and they do not gather into a big country and pose a threat to the Tang Dynasty.This is also something that cannot be helped, with the level of productivity and information transmission in ancient times, there is a limit in management.The more remote the place, the greater the degree of freedom.Otherwise, an order will be passed on, back and forth, and after a year or two, the daylily will be cold.Therefore, what Ashina said may be true.Seeing that Su Dawei seemed to be thinking seriously about this matter, Ashina really laughed.His face, which usually does not speak or smile, is extremely cold and handsome.But when you smile, it will look a little funny.But after this guy gets acquainted, he doesn't have a proper shape, and he especially likes to show a silly smile."
Ami, do you admire me a little now?
Don't be kind to me, in front of you, it may be the future Tongye Protector. ”"Get out!"
Su Dawei replied to him angrily.Moments later, the two of them came to the Turkic scout they had just been greeted.Between the mountains and rocks, I saw at a glance that it was Zhao Hu'er."
Pounds."
Zhao Hu'er's thin face, his eyes were extremely bright, and he looked a little excited."
I have compared the three paths, only this one has the least obvious traces, but this one has a smell left."
As he spoke, he sniffled."
They didn't leave for more than an hour." ”()
