The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 359 Excited

Fan Li smiled, and his smile was somewhat sad.

"I was already dead when the Xiao family army was in trouble. I have only survived these years."

King Rui: "In that case, let's go back to the Northern Frontier together. Perhaps we can find hope of survival there."

"it is good!"

Fan Li had no horse, so he could only ride with others.

Because of the snow, the progress was much slower than usual, but we still arrived at Hugu Gorge before dark.

King Rui was riding on his horse, looking up at the towering mountains on both sides of the canyon, and turned to ask Fan Li: "How can we get into the secret passage? How many people can it accommodate?"

Fan Li raised his hand and pointed in a direction, "Enter from that side. The entrance to the secret passage is narrow, and only one person can pass through it one at a time."

King Rui took out the map that Fan Li had drawn earlier, and based on the direction of his finger, he finally found the entrance.

"Luckily you're here today, otherwise it would be hard to find you."

"Who would have thought it would snow at this time?"

"Are we going to pass through the canyon today?" Fan Li asked.

King Rui looked at the sky, got up and dismounted, then patted the horse's butt and said, "Jifeng, go explore the road."

The chestnut horse seemed to understand King Rui's meaning. It raised its front hooves and ran into the canyon.

The thick snow made the horses' hooves silent when they were running.

But judging from the way he was running, the snow inside would not affect his progress for the time being.

King Rui put his finger to his lips, whistled, and Ji Feng ran back.

"Looking at the thickness of the snow, we must cross this canyon today, otherwise it will be even more difficult to walk tomorrow."

"The barbarians must have thought of our plan. I'm afraid that countless enemy troops are already ambushing on the hilltop right now."

Fan Li said.

"Isn't there a secret passage?"

King Rui waved his hand and all the deputy generals jumped off their horses.

Everyone gathered around King Rui. King Rui picked up the whip and drew a few lines on the ground.

"Zhou Yu, Wang Qi, you guys should continue to move forward with your team to attract the attention of the people above.

Zhao Yun, take a team of troops and enter the secret passage from the left with Fan Li, and quickly go around to the enemy's rear.

The rest of you follow me up along the right side."

"Your Highness, let me go to the right!" Zhao Yun said.

"The mountain on the right is steep and difficult to climb, so the enemy can easily set up an ambush."

"Am I the general or are you the general?"

With just one sentence, King Rui silenced all of Zhao Yun's arguments.

"We'll do this and that for a while..."

King Rui told everyone his plan and assigned important tasks to everyone.

"Remember, the most important thing is the food on the truck.

No matter what happens, food is the most important thing!"

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Everyone quickly returned to their positions and acted according to King Rui's arrangements.

……

On the top of the hill in Hugu Gorge, a big man wearing animal skins was looking at the team in the distance with a telescope.

"Why did they stop?"

Seeing that the team had not moved for a long time, the big man hurriedly moved the telescope away from his face, rubbed it on his body, and put it back in front of his eyes.

"Are they not planning to cross the canyon today?"

The person next to the big man asked.

"If they don't make it, we'll have been lying in ambush here for nothing."

"Why rush? We have to get through tomorrow if we can't get through today. They are carrying so many carts of food. There is no other way to go except through Tiger Bone Gorge."

"Why don't they leave? Did they discover us?"

The big man reached out and pushed the talkative person aside, "We are standing so high, how could they find us?

Now the entire area north of Xixia Mountain is covered in snow. They certainly wouldn’t have guessed that we could climb here in the snow.”

The big man who spoke was Saryan, the son of the leader of the Kosi tribe.

Saryan was a famous warrior in Koshi.

This time, Sagrul sent him to fight in order to make him gain military merit in front of his tribe and become the next convincing leader of the Kosi tribe.

Military Advisor Bu Zang said: "This is all thanks to the Third Prince of Daliang. If the Third Prince hadn't sent someone to inform the leader, who would have thought that Daliang would send people to the Northern Frontier at this time!"

Tigu, who had just been pushed down, stood up again and said, "These Daliang people are all delicate and can't stand the cold here.

In my opinion, we don't need to do anything. As long as the snow continues for another three days, I guarantee they will die."

"that is!"

Others echoed.

Bu Zang held up the telescope and looked at the team in the distance. Suddenly he thought of something and said in surprise, "That's not right!"

"What's wrong?"

Sariya was so scared that he raised the telescope again, "Why didn't I notice anything wrong?"

Bu Zang observed the length of the team and said, "Didn't we give them a big gift seven days ago?

According to the time, it should be the time for the disease to break out, so why are there still so many people in their team?

I don’t think it’s any different than the 20,000 people we were told about earlier.”

After being reminded, Saryan remembered this incident. He looked at the team that was parked there again and asked in confusion: "Yeah, why are there still so many people? Haven't they fallen ill yet?"

"impossible!"

Bu Zang said: "I have tried it on people before. A strong man can survive for three to four days, or at most seven days. An old man or a child can survive for two days. Even a person with a strong body cannot escape this disease."

"Isn't today exactly the seventh day?"

Tigu said from the side: “Maybe these people usually practice martial arts and have good health, but they all have to fall down tonight.

"But they are all sick, right? If a fight breaks out, we can't let them get too close to us."

Saryan snorted, "We are at the top of the mountain, and they are at our feet. Even if they want to get close to us, they have to be able to touch our feet."

“Hehe, that’s right, they won’t even know how they died.

Our military advisor Bu Zang is studying their military tactics.

If they dare to come over, we will give them a jar, what is the jar?"

"Catch the turtle in the urn!"

Bu Zang looked at him with contempt.

This Tigu knows nothing and only knows how to flatter Saryan. But Saryan still falls for his tricks.

It's really disgusting to have such a useless thing buzzing in front of my eyes!

However, his disgusting mood did not last long.

Soon, he discovered that Daliang's army was moving again.

"Let's go, let's go. They are really going to cross the canyon today."

"Let our people get ready. As soon as they reach the center of the canyon, we will start placing rocks to block their way forward and backward. Once they are trapped, we can burn all the people and food to ashes with just a fire."

"The fire of life will illuminate the entire Tiger Bone Gorge. This is my gift to my ancestors!"

When Saryan thought of the scene of people being burned and rolling on the ground, he couldn't help but get excited.
