A slightly old voice soon came from inside: "What's the matter? Come in."

This elder is naturally not his second uncle. However, most of the senior officials of Xue Man's Department are from the first line of the leader, and everyone is more or less related. It is not a problem for him to be called his second uncle.

He walked into the small courtyard respectfully, cupped his hands to the old man who was sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun, and said, "Second Uncle, I shouldn't have come to disturb your rest, but there is a very powerful frontier tribe." But suddenly the call came, and I only have two generals under my command, so I might not be able to beat him, so I would like to ask my second uncle to help me."

The old man said indifferently: "You can't defeat any border tribe? How strong are they?"

Tu Meng still respectfully said: "It's the Haotian Department I told you about last time, my son Yinglou and Pan, General Hong and General Limu are all in their hands, and last time Limu He brought a full five thousand youths to the conquest, but in the end he was not only defeated and died, but only about a thousand of the five thousand youths fled back. I don't know how strong this Haotian Department is, but from Judging from the results of this battle, I am afraid that my men are no match for others."

Hearing this, the old man couldn't help snorting coldly: "Hmph, what Haotian Department is so arrogant, dare to attack our Xue Man Department, and they will die. Where are they now?"

Tu Meng quickly replied: "They have already arrived at Nanjiang Department more than a month ago."

Nanjiang Department?

The old man thought about it for a while, and then asked: "Is that the big tribe with tens of thousands of people? They arrived in the Nanjiang tribe more than a month ago, and the Nanjiang tribe has not sent anyone to ask for help. This means that the Nanjiang tribe has rebelled." gone."

Tu Meng nodded, and said viciously: "The guys from the Nanjiang Department have long had a different heart. This time, they probably attracted the people from the Haotian Department."

The old man didn't show any panic expression on his face, it doesn't matter if the Nanjiang tribe has rebelled, as long as there is no master with a strength exceeding [-] jin, no matter how many people are in front of him, it will be useless.

He asked lightly, "Then where are they now?"

Tu Meng reckoned: "The spies have rushed over from there, and they must be arriving soon."

The old man wanted to roll his eyes when he heard the words, you idiot, if you weren't the direct descendant of the great leader, you would be a prince of tens of thousands of households, and you would be able to rule such a large area!

He resisted the urge to slap him, and said angrily: "You have to find out where he is before I can help you, right?"

Hearing the words, Tu Meng couldn't help but said awkwardly: "Oh, I'll send someone to investigate."

He really didn't expect that this investigation would take more than ten days.

Ten days later, he came to the old man's courtyard again, and said respectfully, "Second Uncle, according to reports from the spies, they are still about two hundred miles away."

Hearing this, the old man couldn't help asking curiously, "Why are they walking so slowly?"

Tu Meng quickly explained: "According to the report from the spies, they seem to be building roads. It is not easy to build roads in the wild jungle. It is considered fast for them to build such a long road in such a short period of time."

road?

This Haotian Department is not simple!

The old man pondered for a while, and then said slowly: "That's fine, I'll go with you to have a look tomorrow."

Early the next morning, the old man set off with Tu Meng and more than a dozen sentries.

Even though they were lightly dressed, they couldn't speed up the journey in the wild jungle. It was not until five days later that they saw the road repairing team of the Haotian Department from a distance.

Good guy, this is not afraid of five or six thousand people.

The old man took Tumeng to observe carefully on a mountaintop for a while, and then asked: "How is the gathering of your men and horses going?"

Tu Meng quickly replied: "I have already ordered the two generals to rush back with their troops."

The old man nodded slightly, and then said lightly: "Well, let them repair it until it reaches your place. We will wait for the work at leisure, and we will just go back and wait."

Ah!

Tu Meng was bewildered and said, "Why don't we organize a sneak attack halfway?"

The old man rolled his eyes and said: "With me here, do you still need to sneak attack? With this road, it will be much more convenient for you to go to the south in the future. Why should we sneak attack? Can't we let them repair the road for you?"

Tu Meng heard the words, suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand."

Chapter 249

Zhao Hao didn't know that there was a big fish waiting for him in front of him. He was just a little surprised why Tumeng ignored his behavior of building roads.

It shouldn't be with a violent and insolent temper.

Even if he didn't bring people to sneak attack himself, he should send people from other small tribes to harass him.

There was no movement at all, which was a bit weird.

Zhao Hao led a group of generals, looking at the deep valley in front of him, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

After passing this valley, it was Tumeng's stronghold West City, and on both sides of the valley, he had already sent people to check carefully, and there was no one at all, not a single person.

He had led his men to cut down all the trees in the valley, and even, at the other end of the valley, he had already seen the west city surrounded by low stone walls, but there was still no movement in the city.

Tumeng, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?

He frowned and pondered for a while, then ordered: "Order everyone to stop work and return to camp."

At this time, it was actually still early, about three or four o'clock in the afternoon. If we continued to build forward, it would be no problem to build another one or two miles before dark.

However, there is no need to worry at this time, because the valley ahead is only about ten miles long, and it will definitely be repaired tomorrow, and safety is still the most important thing.

He watched his elites and all the people from the Nanjiang tribe who came to help withdraw, then turned his horse and led a group of generals to the temporary camp.

This temporary camp is next to a small river less than ten miles away from the valley. At this time, the trees on both sides of the river have been cut down, and the neat tents are lined up on both sides for several miles. Qian Jingrui, more than 3000 people from the Nanjiang tribe who came to help build the road, and more than 5000 young and strong from various tribes assembled by Wu Nanjiang are stationed here.

In other words, there are more than 1 horses gathered here.

This number is quite astonishing in these years. It can be said that apart from the Taihua tribe, no tribe has gathered tens of thousands of people to fight in these years.

Of course, these people were not all combatants.

After Zhao Hao returned to the camp with all the generals, he directly let them enter the commander's tent and began to arrange tasks.

He sat in the main seat and thought about it for a while, and then he gave the order: "Nanjiang, tomorrow you will lead five thousand young men to station here in the camp, pay attention to arrange more sentries, and spread out to guard."

Wu Nanjiang hastily cupped his hands and said, "I obey."

Zhao Hao then ordered: "Ah Feng, Ah Xing, tomorrow you will take the people from the Nanjiang tribe to dig and fill the road in the valley. Be careful, if Tu suddenly sends troops, you will take the people from the Nanjiang tribe to run into the jungle on both sides of the valley. So as not to block the people behind."

A Feng and A Xing hurriedly clasped their hands together and said, "Obey."

Zhao Hao finally ordered: "Ashan and Alin, tomorrow you will gather on the main road with the elite of the Fourth Battalion, ready to launch a charge at any time."

Ah Shan and A Lin hurriedly cupped their hands and said, "Obey."

So far, the arrangements for the troops assembled in the temporary camp have been completed. As for Ahua, Ahuo, Ashu and their elite men, they are not here at the moment. The carnivorous team specially asked Ji Rushuang to lead them to sit in the rear.

Early the next morning, it was still in front of that valley.

The clansmen of the Nanjiang tribe were crowded at the mouth of the valley, and the woods on both sides were full of people. On the road that was repaired behind, the [-] elite cavalrymen of the Haotian tribe had already lined up neatly and formed a long dragon.
