system of princes and generals

Chapter 29 Nest, Oasis

Huo Guang hasn't seen Ta Xue in the past few days. It's not like home in the military camp, so he can't let Ta Xue out for a walk from time to time.

So stepping on the snow is to stay with other war horses, chatting about family affairs, bragging and so on.

I missed it for a long time, and Taxue chatted with Huo Guang for a while, and when he heard that he could go out for a run, he was very happy, hissing black and wagging his tail, ready to fly in the wind.

"We're not going out for fun this time, you know? It's just detective work."

Taxue hissed a few times, shook his head, and raised his horse's face high.

"Oh, that's all right, all right, I know you're a war horse, you have more experience than me, you're a veteran, I'm a rookie."

He knew that the chicken girl who stepped on the snow had flown with Xiaoyue, so the two brothers and sisters suffered for several nights, but fortunately they encouraged each other and finally got out of the haze of broken love.

"With so many horses, there should be quite a few beautiful horses like flowers and jade. If you share a stable with them, you won't have anyone to have a secret love for."

Texue's expression suddenly changed, he hissed a few times, then lowered his head and sighed in frustration.

"Okay, I know you have a soft spot for your chicken girl. Don't mention the sadness." Huo Guang felt even more depressed. He also wondered why the good-looking Xiaoyue disappeared without even sending a text message. Even though If you don't have a mobile phone, you can just leave a note. You must find them when you get back and pinch her little butt hard.

Huo Guang was still chatting with Texue, and the servants not far away were already ready.

With a bow on his back, a long sword at his waist, an iron black armor, and a black-maned horse on his crotch, his face is serious and his lips are lightly pursed, in stark contrast to Huo Guang's carefree expression.

Huo Guang raised his arm, just about to say hello to Puduo.

Pu Duo lightly kicked off the horse's belly, leaving behind a wisp of yellow dust, whipped the horse and galloped away.

Huo Guang's waving hand stopped in the air, and before he could fall down, the servants who watched him leave raised it in the air awkwardly, "Stinky excrement stone, how dare you not wait for me."

Texue held his head high, raised his front hooves, hissed twice, and chased after him with a sprint.

I thought that when alone with Puduo, this guy would look smiling, but in the end he still had a zombie face.

Finding the Xiongnu required many servants, so Huo Guang didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and made a few gags, but when he was ignored, he stopped talking.

Texue neighed and competed with the black-maned horse, and his mouth was still busy. "Hey. Others are ignoring you, why are you talking so much? Why don't you talk to me?"

Huo Guang glanced at Puduo, gritted his teeth and said, "Shut up."

Along the way, Texue was not idle. He would admire the desert scenery for a while, and recall Niubi's past experiences. Huo Guang would just say "hmm" when necessary. You must know that talking to Texue was something that seemed very strange to outsiders. weird thing.

Huo Guang cleared his throat, adjusted his expression to a non-toxic and harmless mode, and bared his neat little white teeth. Even though Puduo abused him thousands of times, he still felt like his first love for Puduo.

"Where are we going?"

Most of the servants said ten or eight sentences without replying. The only two sentences they replied were, um, ah, and they got over it.

But this time, he frowned slightly, looking in the distance, "Looking for the Huns."

After finally speaking, Huo Guang's eyes twitched lightly, and there was nothing he could not stop talking about, "Brother servant, is there a way for us to find the main force of the Huns?"

"no"

"." Huo Guang squeezed his chest.

"But I should be able to find their base camp."

Huh!Huo Guang widened his eyes and swallowed.

Puduo had already dismounted and climbed onto a small sand dune. Huo Guang also dismounted and lay on the top of the dune, using the dune as cover and looking down.

There are dots of black spots on the yellow sand, and the distance is a little far away. Huo Guang can't see clearly, "There seems to be something down there?"

"That's the excrement of livestock." After making sure that the place below was safe, he turned back and got on his horse again.

Pu Duo kicked off his horse and continued, "The cavalry can come and go, but they also have old people and children to live on."

Huo Guang understood why Puduo said that he could find the base camp, "So they also have to poop to eat, and there will be domestic garbage. You are looking for their poop, right?"

Pu Duo pursed his lips and paused for a second, "Although they are nomadic, they don't migrate every day. The distribution of tribes is regular, and the tribes are also connected in order to take care of each other."

Huo Guang followed Pu Duo, thinking about Pu Duo's words, and frowned slightly, "What if they destroy the traces, won't our clues be cut off?"

"During the migration, feces and garbage will be buried, but the desert is full of wind and sand, and some places that are not buried deep can still be seen. Moreover, 10,000+ people migrate together, some of them light fires to cook, and the traces of setting up camps cannot be erased. Yes, as long as we find the traces left by them, we will be able to find their base camp along these traces."

After hearing Puduo's explanation, Huo Guang was secretly happy. He really recommended Puduo for nothing. This guy is really capable.

If you think about it carefully, it’s not surprising. Although the Huns are nomads, they also established an independent regime. They have been living in this vast desert. They have no GPS, no mobile phones, computers, and iPads. They can harass the big men on the border for so many years. , must have its own way to identify the direction and find companions, otherwise it would have perished long ago.

Pu Duo slowed down, "There must be a tribe's camp nearby, let's not go too fast, the raised yellow sand will expose us."

Huo Guang hummed lightly, pulled the reins of Ta Xue, and slowed down.

The endless yellow sand spread from the feet, and originally spread to the endless sky, but it seems that this time there is no more green edge in the sky.

Wo Cao, this is the legendary desert oasis?

Humans and animals are inseparable from water sources, so the earliest human civilizations began to develop around rivers.

At the beginning, Huo Guang believed that Pu Duo could find water sources in the desert, and with the attitude of giving it a try, he recommended himself to work with Pu Duo as a scout.

Huo Guang was a little excited, "There is an oasis ahead, so there will be a Huns camp?"

Puduo was not excited and frowned, "As expected, there is a camp of a Huns tribe ahead, but there will definitely be cavalry patrolling around here."

The green of the sky is getting clearer and clearer, and the enemy is getting closer and closer.

The servants began to feel a little uneasy. Normally, there would be cavalry patrolling outside the camp, but it seemed too quiet today.

The smell of the enemy is constantly approaching them, and the invisible danger seems to be hidden in the deep yellow sand.

Pu Duo's originally dark face looked more solemn due to uneasiness, and Huo Guang also felt a strange aura from the quiet atmosphere.

"We are just confirming the location of the camp, and then immediately return to report to the Hussars General. We must not be reluctant to fight."

　Thank you, handsome uncle 1 for the reward, full of motivation, okay (づ￣ 3￣)づ
