Wang Fu felt that it was reasonable, and immediately ordered several Qu Junhous to go back, and called all the soldiers of Qu to discuss, to see if anyone was familiar with the nearby terrain and knew where they were now.

As long as you can determine the location, you can know which direction to go.

Half an hour later, a Qu Junhou came back with a happy face, followed by a timid soldier.

The soldier said that according to his impression, the westward journey passed through three large cities in total. Apart from the already known Chengyi and Xi'anyang, the nearest city should be Shuofang.

Therefore, their current location should be in the west of Shuofang City.

Wang Fu suddenly realized that he should be in the desert in the southwest of Shuofang.

The reason why the trace of Fu Luohan was lost was because there was a gust of wind at that time, and the wind and sand made people unable to open their eyes.When the wind stopped, Fu Luohan disappeared.

Thinking about it now, Fu Luohan probably knew that they were not used to this situation, so he took advantage of the gust of sand and ran away.

The scouts who went north to inquire about the situation did not find the big river, because the big river west of Shuofang turned northward, which was farther than they expected.

Wang Fu called the scouts to ask, and the scouts said that the distance they explored to the north was no more than ten miles.When chasing before, the big river was within sight, even if it was blocked by the terrain, it could be seen at most three to five miles away.They couldn't see it for ten miles, so they thought they had made a mistake and gave up looking.

Wang Fu was overjoyed, and immediately ordered someone to investigate Zhengbei, and set the distance to thirty li.

This time it went very smoothly, and the scout came back an hour later.

They found Dahe again, only fifteen or six miles away from their current position.In order to prove that he was right, the scout also took out several water bladders that were fully filled.

Drinking the ice-cold river water, Wang Fu felt extremely happy in his heart.

Having found the big river and having water, half of his crisis was resolved.

"set off!"

The fearful soldiers received the order, their morale was boosted, they got on their horses again, looked for the direction of the Big Dipper, and galloped away.

After a while, someone in the team called softly: "I smell water."

Then someone joined in. "That's right, my nose is much more comfortable, and it shouldn't be far from the big river."

Hearing the light laughter of his subordinates, Wang Fu was relieved.He took a deep breath, looked at the Big Dipper in the sky, and suddenly felt that he had a direction, and he was no longer afraid of getting lost.

An hour later, they walked out of the desert and returned to the river.

The soldiers rushed to the river, drank water to their heart's content, and filled their empty water bladders.

Wang Fu rode his horse up a slope and looked across the river.

If what the soldier said is true, this place is already west of Shuofang, then the opposite may be the direction where the Xianbei people came out of the fortress.As shown on the map, from Shuofang out of the fortress to the north and east, about a hundred li, is the surrendered city.Most of the Xianbei people would stay there for a short time when they went out and in.

Fuluohan probably won't leave the fortress immediately, he will most likely rest overnight on the oasis between the two rivers.

"Persevere, everyone, cross the river overnight. If you can catch Fu Luohan, I will ask you to get drunk for three days."

"How can three days be enough?" Someone shouted: "Xiaowei, Yanluo is worth a thousand households, so Fu Luohan is probably worth two thousand households?"

Wang Fu laughed and scolded: "You bastards, you can figure it out very clearly. Well, if you can catch Fu Luohan, I won't take a grain of rent for three years, and I will give you all to drink."

"Good!" The soldiers laughed and cheered up.

Many people got off their horses, dragged their horses' tails down the river, and used their spears to test the depth of the river, looking for a suitable place to cross the river.

While waiting to cross the river, Wang Fu said to the guards beside him: "Don't be idle, think about where the turtle grandson of Fuluohan might be right now."

Chapter 337

Crossing the river at night was very dangerous, and it took Wang Fu a lot of time. It was not until midnight that the whole army crossed the river.

More than a dozen cavalrymen accidentally fell into the water and drowned in the river. The screams for help echoed in everyone's ears, seriously affecting morale.

Many people became silent, and did not speak after landing, but quietly dried their bodies and put on their clothes.

Wang Fu was eager to make contributions and urged the soldiers to hurry.The Qu Junhou had no objections, but the ordinary knights complained, clamoring and refusing to move forward, asking to rest first and recover their strength.

Wang Fu was very annoyed, and drew out his saber, intending to kill a few people to establish his prestige.But seeing the anger of the crowd, for fear of causing a mutiny, he had to give up resentfully.

For a long time, although he came from a good background, he didn't have any outstanding military exploits, and his prestige was insufficient, so he couldn't respond to everyone.

In the battlefield, there are enemies everywhere, no one dares to really relax, especially Wang Fu.

It was cold at night, and he couldn't sleep because of the cold, so he could only wrap himself in a cloak, pace back and forth, and glance into the distance from time to time.

Bu Rahan is somewhere, but he can't see it.

The restlessness and the cold made him so distraught that he couldn't concentrate and think.In order to pass the time, he simply wandered among the soldiers and learned about the casualties by the way.

After looking around for half a circle, he felt more at ease.There were not many casualties, but they were too tired. Many people fell asleep as soon as they lay down, snoring loudly.

Wang Fu was even a little envious of them, for being able to fall asleep in such an environment.

When he was about to walk back, he suddenly saw the voice of someone speaking in the distance, monotonous and strange, not like a normal accent.He listened attentively for a moment, then walked over quietly.

When he got closer, Wang Fu realized that it was a cavalry pawn.He sat cross-legged on the ground, muttering in his mouth, not knowing what he was talking about.He just wanted to get closer, but the pawn was startled, turned over and jumped up, holding a knife in both hands, and shouted softly: "Who?"

This sound is Chinese.

"I." Wang Fu replied, but his eyes tightened.

The hair of the cavalry pawn is loose. This person may not be a Han, but a Qiang or Hun.

"It turned out to be the captain." The cavalry soldier breathed a sigh of relief, put away his sword, and bowed his hands in salute.

Wang Fu approached and took a closer look at the pawn's hair through the starlight.There is hair on the scalp, just very short.

"What's your name, which song is it?"

"Lieutenant Hui, my name is Uri, from the first team of the third song."

"Under Liu Meng?"

"Yes."

"Uri, is your surname Wu? From the Northland?"

"Uh... no." Uri pointed to the distance. "I am a Qiang. My parents escaped the war and wanted to escape to the grassland. They gave birth to me when they passed by a big lake called Wuli here, so they called me Wuli."

"Daze?" Wang Fu's heart skipped a beat. "You mean, there is a big swamp near here?"

He had seen the map and knew that there was a big marsh near Shuofang City, but he didn't have a deep impression.

Because Shuofang City Chengyi is too far away, more than a hundred miles away.At the beginning of the pursuit, he never thought that he would get lost here, he only thought that he would chase Fu Luohan all the way, cut off his head, and then return along the original road of Dahe.

If Daze is nearby, it means that he is not far from Shuofang City.

"Yeah, just to the northeast."

"How far is it?"

"This..." Uri looked around and shook his head in embarrassment. "Can't see clearly."

"Which way is Guangmu City in our direction?"

"It should be west." Uri hesitated. "It's too dark, I can't see clearly. If it was daytime, I would definitely recognize it. When I was fighting with Grand Master...Dong Zhuo, I came here and served as a guide."

"Are you from Dong Zhuo's old department?"

Uri was silent for a moment. "Yes. I followed Dong Zhuo first, and then Li Jue."

Wang Fu stared at Uri for a moment, then reached out and patted Uri on the shoulder. "Tomorrow morning, find out our location and tell me immediately. If you can catch up with Fu Luohan, I will give you a big credit."

"Really?" Uri raised his head in surprise, looking at Wang Fu.

"Although my king's clothes can't stand shoulder to shoulder with Ji Bu, and I can't be regarded as a gentleman, but I will never break my word."

"Here."

-

The white horse is lying down with its clothes on, half asleep and half awake.

At the time of life and death, he couldn't sleep at all.

What he was worried about was not the Han army - the Han army could not catch up here - but Fu Luohan.

Fu Luohan was defeated by the Han army and fled all the way west. Although he was defeated, the danger was still there.

The strength of the Han army is limited, but the strength of Fuluo Han is too large to kill.Although the main force was defeated by the Han army, the real casualties would not exceed half. Most of the Xianbei people would escape and regroup around Fuluohan.

Fu Luohan still had enough troops to fight back, but the rear battalion fell into the hands of the Han people and urgently needed supplies.

He could become Fu Luohan's target at any time, and become the prey that Fu Luohan needed to recover his physical strength.

Such things happen every day on the grassland, and he is not surprised at all.

Life is so impermanent, today is an ally, tomorrow may kill you to death.

There were footsteps outside the tent, Bai Matong opened his eyes, but he didn't move, he just clenched the saber in his arms even tighter.

"Marshal, it's dawn." A female slave walked into the big tent and said softly, "Shall we prepare breakfast now?"

Baimatong turned his head slightly, saw a corner outside the tent, and found that the sky was already bright, he was a little surprised.

He rolled over and sat up. "Is there any movement outside?"

"No, it's very quiet."

Baima Tong frowned.Did Fu Luohan not find a place, or was he killed by the Han people, and he didn't come to rob him?

Where was he, and what did he feed on this night?

Given his superiority in military strength, he probably would not have thought that he would be defeated by the Han army, and the possibility of fleeing with dry food is very slim.

Or, was he lurking somewhere, waiting for him to let go?

Bai Matong turned over and sat up while thinking, and walked out of the big tent.

Tens of thousands of tents were scattered around the big marsh, and many people had already got up, but women were the main ones.They are busy cooking, feeding cattle and sheep, most of the men are still sleeping in tents, only a few men get up early, or check weapons, horses, or help women with work.

The kids are snoozing, and it's not time to get up, so it's still quiet outside.When the sun comes out, after breakfast, their carefree laughter will spread all over the camp.

Bai Matong turned his head to look at the tent beside him, with a smile on his lips.

There lived his most beloved woman and child.

Just as the smile appeared, the war horse tied to the side suddenly raised its head, looked into the distance, and paved the ground uneasily.

Baima Tong was taken aback, and while calling the guards to prepare for the battle, he ran towards the horse and jumped on the horse.

Sit on horseback and see farther.

He saw several horses galloping towards the horizon, and the smoke and dust billowed behind them, straight into the sky, even covering the rising sun that had not yet appeared, making the sky and the earth dark.

"Enemy attack—" A warning horn sounded in the distance, breaking the tranquility of the camp.

Baima Tong sighed, ordered someone to blow the trumpet, and prepared to fight.

What should come will always come.

Chapter 338

Looking at the battlefield opposite Daze, Wang Fu sighed.

After dawn, Uli quickly confirmed the location, and got evidence from several other Xiliang veterans, and speculated that there might be a Xianbei or Hun supply camp near Daze.

Wang Fu made a decisive decision and led his troops to rush to the vicinity of Daze.

Everything was as expected, the only unexpected thing was that the camp of the Huns was east of Daze, and they were west of Daze.

The long and narrow Daze blocked their way, and it would take at least half a day to go around.

The opposite side was fighting, and tens of thousands of cavalry were rushing to and fro on the battlefield with a radius of more than ten li.Now there is still a chance to kill the past. When the victory is decided and the winner regroups, only relying on his few hundred riders is tantamount to seeking his own death.

The last time it was only a few hundred steps away, Qian Huhou passed by, which made him regret to this day.

This time, looking at Ze and sighing, it is even more sad.

"Is my father also counting oddly, so unlucky." Wang Fu muttered depressingly.

"Captain, Captain." Qu Junhou Liu Meng yelled, while reining in his mount to slow down.

"What's the matter?" Wang Fu was in a bad mood and his voice was a little loud.

Liu Meng was startled, looked up at Wang Fu, and quickly lowered his voice. "Lieutenant, Uli said, the Xianbei and the Huns on the other side are fighting..."

"Nonsense, I don't have eyes, I don't know if they are fighting?"

"No, what Uri meant was that after Huo Merger, if the Xianbei lost, they should have fled northward, through Pingyi Pass, and returned to the grassland. If the Huns lost, they should have fled westward, back to the chicken Ming Sai. If this is the case, we can sit on the sidelines and wait for them to come and die here."
