Rebirth in another world as a fake eunuch

Chapter 191 Startled

Three hundred miles does not mean that the Jurchen tribe only has a territory of three hundred miles.

Because the distance Wang Kuo and the others mentioned is a straight-line distance, which is the distance they will travel.

The Jurchen tribe actually controls a territory with a radius of more than 700 miles, but it is an oval shape.

Under the report at the time of exploring the horses, Wang Kuo and others didn't even dare to light a fire to cook food along the way, and could only use the beef and mutton cooked in advance a few days ago to satisfy their hunger.

Thanks to the ice and snow now, otherwise, the meat would be spoiled before two days of walking.

As time passed, a group of Tianming's spies, who were also Wang Kuo's personal bodyguards, almost all ran to the Jurchen tribe not far away, monitoring every move in the Jurchen tribe.

This was the sudden whim of the younger soldiers among them.

"Since it's icy and snowy outside, it's very likely that this Jurchen tribe will not leave the gate, and the two gates will not go out. In addition, the heavy snow has stopped now, and whenever someone walks by, they will leave rows of footprints."

That being the case, why don't we go directly outside the Jurchen tribe to investigate?

In this way, wouldn't they be able to keep abreast of the movements of the Jurchen tribe, and judge by whether there were footprints at the door? Have they gone out recently?

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but praise this kid's brilliant mind, and unanimously followed his suggestion.

Sure enough, when they came here silently, they saw the happy life of the Jurchen tribe from a distance. Almost every house was filled with smoke, and soldiers guarded the outside, but no one cared about the outside world. world.

Wang Kuo and the others may not understand it, but as grassland people, they are already used to this kind of life.

Once the land is sealed by heavy snow, no one will leave the tribe, because no tribe will be willing to go out at this time.

Of course, there are also unexpected times, that is, when the food reserves are not enough to supply them for the winter, this will make them wear leather armor, take bows and arrows to seize food from other tribes, so that their own tribe can live a well-fed life. Life.

And around their tribe, there is actually only one tribe that threatens them, and that is the Tatar tribe.

But they have already found out that the Tatar Ministry is outside Zhenlangguan, staring at the rich Tianming.

hiss……

Thinking of this, the Jurchen soldiers couldn't help but feel a pity. If it weren't for their weak strength, it would be great if they went to rob the Tatar base camp once!

Not to mention this winter, even if there are two more winters, they don't need to care about it. After all, Tatars are still too rich, so rich that it was only last year, and Tianming paid them a million taels of silver as compensation.

Otherwise, how could this group of Tatars have just passed a year, and when there is no shortage of money and food, they will repeat their tricks again and want to make a fortune from the war.

Oh, what a pity!
It should be said that the Tatars don't have too strong defensive power now, but the Jurchens still dare not do it, after all, there is still a future to settle accounts!

The Jurchen tribe was harmonious and friendly, and Wang Kuo also took advantage of the trend to move forward quietly. One day, two days, five days passed!
In five days, in order to leave the sphere of influence of the Jurchen tribe as soon as possible, Wang Kuo basically asked everyone to walk fifty miles every day, and after five days, he finally walked 250 miles.

Although the numbers are unlucky, there is no way to do it. After all, if they walk ten miles a day, they will save a day's journey in four days, and they will save a day and a half in the whole journey.

One and a half days is enough to avoid many unnecessary troubles.

Even in the past few days, Wang Kuo deliberately asked his soldiers to keep an eye on the Tatar prisoners and the trophies.

Just to prevent them from setting fire or something, come and die together.

However, sometimes the more you are afraid of something, the more it will come. It is like Wang Kuo who is frightened and worried that he will be discovered by the Jurchen tribe, but he does not want to be negligent. When he is about to walk out of the Jurchen sphere of influence, he is caught by a Women are spoiled.

I don't know where this woman found a horn, and in the middle of the night, when no one was paying attention, she suddenly blew it.

Well, the prairie is a wild terrain, and in the dead of night, the melodious sound of the horn can be heard far away.

The whirring sound scared Wang Kuo so much that he almost fell off his horse.

It turns out that Wang Kuo has been performing nocturnal activities all the time, in order to prevent too much movement during the day and thus be discovered by others.

It's just that he has calculated thousands of times, but he still hasn't figured out this situation.

Looking at the woman being escorted, Wang Kuo looked her up and down, and really couldn't figure out where she was hiding with her outfit and such a big horn so that she wasn't discovered.

But before he had time to think about it, he called the soldiers to arrest her and take her away, and hurriedly ordered the army to move forward at top speed.

After all, no one knows whether the sound of the horn will reach the Jurchen tribe, or whether it will attract the Jurchen tribe to chase and kill them.

The army moved forward for a while, Wang Kuo couldn't help frowning, because the speed was too slow.

You must know that the current snow field is only as thick as the calf after such a long time. It may be difficult for people to walk at such a speed, but it is still possible for a horse to run.

"Come here, send an order to slaughter cattle and sheep in two quarters of an hour, as many as possible, the better. After two quarters of an hour, everyone will leave here quickly with their horses."

Although there will still be a delay for some unridden war horses, Wang Kuo is still reluctant to discard them until the last moment. After all, these war horses are all resources!

Two quarters of an hour later, everyone was packed and ready to go!
drive……

Thousands of horses are galloping and galloping fast, leaving behind a mess of snow.

At this time, the Jurchen tribe was not as Wang Kuo had guessed, but continued to enjoy themselves happily.

After all, it is hundreds of miles away, so how can you hear it from such a long distance?
The reason why Wang Kuo is worried is because he is really worried. If he can run away, why bother to fight an uncertain battle?
They ran all the way, and didn't even have time to take a bite of breakfast. It wasn't until noon that Wang Kuo and the others made sure that no one was chasing after them, took a short rest, and continued marching nervously.

Two days in a row, the Jurchen tribe also sent people out to hunt after the snow outside became thinner and thinner!
Even in winter, there are still many animals, and this is actually one of the food aids of the nomads.

After all, no matter how many cattle and sheep there are in the family, they are fed by themselves bit by bit. If they can kill one less, it will bring them more wealth after the new year, so it is not a last resort. Prairie people actually have very few Will kill cattle and sheep.

The Jurchen soldiers who went out quickly grabbed some food, and at the same time, some sharp-eyed soldiers discovered the marks on the snow.

"My lord, the imprint of the marching army was found here!"

The soldier just observed briefly, and then he had the answer in his heart.

Those of them who grew up in the grassland can clearly distinguish the marks on the snow, such as human footprints, animal footprints, or horse footprints, etc.

Even though a few days had passed, under the sunlight of the day, the footprints on the snow had already lightened a lot, but the path that the [-]-strong army walked could still be easily distinguished.

In particular, the feces left by some animals were quickly discovered by these Jurchens and reported quickly.

"How could there be a large-scale march in this weather?" A Jurchen general, led by soldiers, soon arrived at the scene and saw the traces left by the horse.

This also made him a little confused!

"Go and check to see if there are any other traces!"

"My lord, I have checked. These imprints are heading southwest according to the travel route, and my subordinates also found a large amount of cow and sheep feces. It is estimated that a certain tribe migrated!"

"No, our tribe will choose to migrate in July and August, because only in this way can we guarantee the supply of grass for war horses, cattle and sheep, it is impossible to choose this time!"

The grown-up shook his head when he heard the words, always feeling that things were not that simple.

Suddenly, another soldier suddenly spoke.

"My lord, in the southwest direction, isn't that the Anbei Pass at dawn? Could it be that this tribe is going to attack Anbei Pass?"

As soon as the soldier finished speaking, the general who was addressed as your lord suddenly opened his eyes, but then shook his head again.

Based on the time, if any tribes couldn't survive, they might choose to rob Tianming, but the problem was that in his impression, there didn't seem to be any big tribes around, right?

The only one is the Tatar Department, but they are also in Zhenlang Pass, and the next is their Jurchen Department, but even their Jurchen Department has not dared to rob Anbei Pass easily after so many years.

After all, their strength has been greatly damaged, and there are still tens of thousands of armored men, so they let the Tatars turn a blind eye to them. After all, it is not necessary to spend a lot of effort to fight a battle for the sake of not fertile land. of.

But once they are injured, needless to say, they all know that Tatar will not give up this opportunity to beat the dog in the water.

"Forget it, instead of guessing, it's better to send people to chase after it!" General Jurchen thought for a while, and suddenly ordered to arrange nearly a hundred cavalry. After bringing enough dry food, they followed the marks on the snow.

At this time, Wang Kuo, leading the soldiers under his command, finally walked more than 400 miles away in a hurry, only more than 200 miles away from Anbei Pass.

At this time, Wang Kuo also ordered the Tatar woman who blew the horn to be brought up, wanting to torture him thoroughly.

I don't know if I don't ask, but after asking, I found out that the horn in her hand was the horn she cut off with a sharp dagger during the march a few days ago, and made it herself.

And in the tribe, she is the one who makes the horn!
As for the reason... the reason is no longer important, because she angered Wang Kuo, so Wang Kuo also sent her directly to Jin Jun. As for her result, it was also doomed at this moment.
