into the bosom

Chapter 385 Planted again

Xu Jiao held his face in his hands, and gave him a resounding "pop" on his lips, "It's nothing! It's just that I like to see you pointing out the country and smiling proudly!"

Sure enough, men who work hard are the most handsome.

And this man belongs to her!

Xu Jiao kissed someone, snuggled into his arms, and thought happily.

In the middle of the night, it began to rain, and it rained for several days, and most of the heat dissipated in an instant.

There is no autumn in the prairie. Once the heat subsides, the weather suddenly turns cold. As far as the eye can see, the grass has withered and yellowed. Before the winter comes, the herdsmen began to migrate to the Qilang Mountains to escape the harsh winter. cold winter.

On the grasslands, wars usually only broke out in spring when they competed for pastures with lush water and grass, but there were exceptions. For example, this year, Ashina's troops sent troops to Mo Chuu's tribe, which was a flagrant betrayal of Beijie.The various tribes in the grassland have always acted independently, and they have never really united as one. It is just that the strong are respected, and the remaining weak tribes choose the strong to live in groups.

It is not uncommon to establish a court system like Beijie in the past, but they can't last long.For example, the Ashina tribe used to be the overlord of the grassland. Didn’t the established dynasty fall apart and be replaced by the current Mochu tribe?However, the Ashina tribe and the Mochu tribe are still the most powerful tribes on the grassland, and each has many supporters. When these two tribes clash, the entire grassland is involved.

However, in the past few days, Ashina's elite division led by Ashina Zuomu had confronted Mo Chuohe's tiger division several times, but all of them were small-scale battles, and most of them left at the touch of a button. Both sides had victories and losses, but the casualties were not large.

"Ashina should be testing our strength!"

"Or a provocation, with the intention of bringing us into their ambush circle!"

"It is said that Ashina's cavalry has been famous for hundreds of years, but the flying cavalry battalion trained by our special service is also a rare opponent, and has never been defeated. I think they are afraid and want to find out our reality first."

There were a few small fights, and for Master Hu, who had been gearing up for a long time, it was very meaningful to separate his boots. This day, we gathered in the handsome tent again, and you talked about Ashina Motives for doing so.

But no matter how lively their discussions were, Mo Chuohe was not affected at all. In fact, from the time these people began to chatter to the present, he has always maintained the same posture sitting behind the desk, looking up His clothes and pictures have never changed, not to mention his expression, which is also completely motionless. If not for the fact that the people in the tent are all his confidantes who have followed him for a long time, and have some understanding of his temperament, they might suspect that he is just sitting there in a daze , I haven't listened to their words at all!
"Report--" At this moment, a scout from the Tanma camp walked in quickly, came to Demo Tuohe, bowed his body and saluted, and then reported under the burning eyes of the whole group, "This morning About [-] cavalrymen from Shi Na raided our team to escort our family members back to the northern capital. Fortunately, the Secret Service was well prepared, and our people waited for them to attack, and immediately tied up the covers, except that they were specially reserved for Ashina. Those who reported to Zuo Mu, and the rest were taken down without missing a single one, and I will report back to the secret service!"

Hearing these words, the people in the tent looked at Mo Chuohe with different expressions, and Mo Chuohe, who had been expressionless all this time, finally lit up his eyes, and said "OK!"

With burning eyes, he said to everyone in the tent, "Pass down the order, follow the arrangements discussed earlier in the morning, and prepare to meet the enemy!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison, the volume was enough to convey the sky.

In a certain mountain depression about [-] miles away from here, Ashina's wolf-headed banner was hunting in the mountain wind, but there was the sound of a wine glass being thrown on the ground in the handsome tent, followed by the sound of Ashina Zuo Mu Nuji shouted, "Trash! They are all trash!"

Harmon and the others standing below were silent like cicadas. They all lowered their heads and held their breath, not daring to make a sound.The man kneeling on the ground to report the news was even more frightened and trembling...

Ashina Zuomu paced back and forth, and finally calmed down, "Mo Chuohe only has [-] troops in total, and the so-called [-] are still brought along with the old and weak, women and children, and the ones who go to the middle are just It’s almost ten thousand. Now that I can make a cover and get all my two thousand cavalry in my bag, how can I have several thousand troops, that is to say, he has at most about ten thousand troops. No wonder... this For a few days, no matter how provocative our people were, they refused to take the challenge lightly. It turned out that they were just deliberately dragging us down. Maybe...the time has come!"

While talking, Ashina Zuomu suddenly said, "Go! Send an order to reorganize the army!" His eyes narrowed slightly, and there was really a faint blue color, like a wolf-like fierce light.

Ashina Zuomu expected that Dingmo Chuohe's troops were not strong enough, so when he came up, he would attack fiercely, and he had to use absolute strength to crush him, so he couldn't give Hu Shi any chance to breathe.

He is also confident that his judgment is not wrong, and this time he must avenge his shame.Standing on a low slope with a small team, Ashina Zuomu thought coldly as he watched the two armies fighting. Xiao Nao was completely different, this time he came up for real, and he still couldn't shrink back.

However, I can't hide for long.Just in case, he also transferred 5000 people from the middle road. Now, in terms of the number of people, his troops are more than twice that of Mo Chuohe. At this moment, it seems that there are even more... Even if Master Hu is really capable, but It can't stand the crowd of them.The elite teachers of the Mo Shui Department... I am afraid that they will not be able to hold on for a long time.

Ashina Zuomu pursed his lips and sneered.

After just looking at it for a while, his brows suddenly frowned, and he asked Harmon beside him slightly, "Didn't you say that there are at least 1 horses around Mo Chuohe?"

"That's right!" Harmon said, "Our people have checked carefully. According to the traces of their buried pots and cooking, there should be 1 horses. But... now it seems that it is still far away from 7000." How far away?" From a glance, there are at most 4000 people in the Mo Chuu Department fighting at this time, so where did the other [-] people go?
But now that they are fighting so hard, is it possible that they are still hiding their strength and have not met the enemy with all their strength?
Harmon couldn't figure it out, Ashina Zuomu looked at the stalemate battle situation, his eyebrows were tightly clenched, and his expression was even more unpredictable, not to mention his eyes, which suddenly became gloomy. He gritted his teeth and said, "Ming Jin withdraws troops !"

"Ah?" Harmon suspected that he had heard it wrong. There were killing and cutting sounds in his ears, the neighing of war horses and shouts of killing one after another. The general didn't say anything, right?
"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you go quickly?" Ashina Zuomu suddenly turned his head and glared at him, sternly, his eyes were bloodshot and his canthus were about to split.

"Oh!" Harmon's expression changed in shock, and he turned to leave, but he slipped and nearly rolled down, and a man and a horse came head-on, coming in such a hurry, the horses hadn't stopped, and the people had already slipped off the horse's back He got down, staggered and ran towards Ashina Zuomu, shouting as he ran, "General... General, it's not good! The middle road... The middle road encountered a surprise attack by [-] enemy troops, and it was defeated... The battle line was routed. Ten thousand enemy troops have gathered, and they are encircling the eastern front here, General, you must escape quickly!"

Just now, seeing him in a mess like a blood gourd, when he staggered over and ran over, he had already expected that there would be no good news, but who knew that it would turn out like this.

A few words, like a thunder on the ground, suddenly exploded in my ears.The faces of the soldiers present all changed, and they all turned to look at Ashina Zuomu.

The expression on the latter's face was also extremely ugly. Looking at the two sides fighting under their feet, they only felt that the sockets were so sore that even if they bit hard, they couldn't relieve even half of it—that's really good, Mo Chuohe!I really underestimated you, and fell into your hands twice in a row, really... Really hateful.

But...he had no choice but to admit defeat at this time, just like last time!
"Withdraw the troops!" Although he was full of dissatisfaction, Ashina Zuomu had no choice but to be ruthless.Even if he has the upper hand now, he can completely annihilate the tiger divisions below to vent his hatred, but when Mo Chuohe leads the remaining tiger divisions in the middle to encircle them, it may be too late for them to withdraw.In order to make things easier, it is not worthwhile to pay for the warriors of Ashina and himself that he brought out!
The rest of the people naturally thought the same way. Like Mo Chuohe's tiger division, their team was also an elite division that had followed Ashina Zuomu for many years. They had also experienced countless battles and had few defeats. They had never been as good as they are today. lost...

Frustrated, humiliated, but had to escape.

"Yes!" Harmon and the others responded, turned around and left, and soon heard the sound of gold ringing...

Five miles away, Mo Chuhe, who was rushing here with tens of thousands of horses, stopped his horse suddenly, and everyone behind him did the same. Zhuma listened for a while, and someone said in surprise, "Special Qin, it's Ming Jin from Ashin's work." Voice! Ashina Zuomu has retreated!"

"Retired?"

"Retired!"

"We won! Secret service is mighty!"

"Win! We won!"

"The special service is mighty!"

Cheers came and went from behind, resounding through the sky. Amidst the waves of sound, Mo Chuihe also raised the corners of his lips and smiled slightly, letting out a sigh of relief.

The camp that night was full of joy, but Mo Chuohe did not relax at all, and was still meticulously armed.All the top scouts of the Horse Exploring Battalion were released to scout for news.

When Xu Jiao found it, he was sitting leaning against a stone pier outside the camp, carefully wiping his scimitar under the moonlight. Today, after a fierce battle, the knife was probably stained with blood from countless people. Under the cold and frosty moonlight, there was a faint chill.

Xu Jiao paused for a while, then walked over and said, "You would rather wipe your knife outside this tent than go back to face me, it seems that my outfit really makes you tired, you can't Do you really see me as a man?"

When he heard the sound of footsteps, Mo Chuohe had already noticed her coming, and when he heard her scolding, he couldn't laugh or cry immediately, and immediately stretched out a hand towards her.

Xu Jiao stood one step away from him, with her hands behind her back, the corners of her mouth slightly pursed, her chin slightly raised, and she looked quite a little arrogant. When she saw him stretching out his hand, she squinted her eyes for a moment before finally Stretched out his hand.

As soon as the fingertips touched him, they were already wrapped in his palm, and she was pulled to his side with a light tug, but he frowned and said, "Why are your hands so cold?" , then took her and strode straight to the tent.

When he arrived at the entrance of the tent, he said to the guards who were guarding outside, "Go to the cage and fire the fire!" He dragged Xu Jiao into the tent without stopping.

After entering, I first found a big woolen dress, and covered Xu Jiao's head involuntarily, "The weather in the grassland is no better than Feng'an, I'm afraid it's going to be winter, and the weather is going to be cold quickly, so you should wear more. Don't catch the cold!" When he said these words, his thick eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his eyes couldn't be more serious.

Xu Jiao remembered what he had said to her about the sad winter in the grassland, her heart trembled slightly, and she nodded seriously, "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself and won't worry you."

The two guards guarding the gate moved quickly, while they were talking, a pot of fire had already been made and brought into the tent, as well as a pot of hot water.

Mo Chuohe took Xu Jiao to sit by the fire, and poured another bowl of hot water for her to hold. The hand that touched her was not as cold as before, and then his face softened a little, but there was still a faint hint of it. Blame yourself, "I have been busy with the war these days, and I have neglected to take care of you. I will remember to tell them later that it is best to stew mutton for you every day. Remember to drink more mutton soup!"

Xu Jiao listened to his instructions on these trivial matters, her heart was warm, but she said with distaste on her face, "I said that I will take care of myself and plan strategies, but He Teqin, who can command thousands of troops, is worrying about these trivial matters, I listen It's all a little awkward, and I feel wronged for you."

"Why is it awkward and wronged to take care of his own woman? If he can't even take care of his own woman, such a man should feel ashamed!" Mo Chuohe said in a deep voice.

Looking at his serious face, Xu Jiao pursed her lips and smiled lightly.The hands of the two were clasped together, reflected by the firelight, her pair of catkins seemed to be transparent, revealing a lustrous red, and Mo Chuohe compared the length of her fingers with her under the firelight.

Xu Jiao stared at his soft eyebrows and eyes reflected by the fire, and asked softly, "Today is a complete victory, but you don't seem to be very happy! Are you worried about the situation elsewhere?"

Mo Chuohe paused for a moment, raised his eyes after a while, and looked at her for a while before saying, "Ashi's ambition to dominate the grassland has always existed, and they acted ruthlessly and never had a moderate style. Once they take power, the grassland will probably return to the same disputes as it was decades ago, and there will never be peace!"

"And if you want the grassland to be peaceful, you still need to have a unified thinking, and the premise is to have a unified mind! The biggest resistance is Ashina. They can't be content with the status quo and insist on provoking troubles. We can only take advantage of the situation and completely remove this stumbling block!"

Hearing this, Xu Jiao thought of something, his eyes flashed darkly, but he just looked at him without saying anything.

Mo Chuohe held her hand, turned his head to look at the blazing fire in the basin, his eyes seemed to be dimmed by the fire light, and he sighed suddenly, "The situation is so good now, maybe we can't get over it with one blow." In the middle, we still have to wait for the news of the important place..."
