Being a cannon fodder female supporting role is not as good as marrying a lucky villain

When Yeluhan heard this, he subconsciously stopped Yu Wenxu.

"Khan, you have to think carefully. Even if you go to the fourth prince, he may not agree to your proposal. What's more... even if you reach an agreement with the fourth prince, after repelling the Chu State, will you? Are we going to be hostile to each other again?”

Hearing this, Yu Wenxu's face darkened: "Uncle, I have no choice now. Only by repelling Chu's army can we, the Huns, be saved."

"If the country is gone, then what's the use of fighting with me? It's all in vain!"

"Having said that, you still have to plan something." Yelu Han sighed, "We can't defeat the Chu army and still be in this situation."

Seeing that Yu Wenxu was thoughtful, he immediately said: "Kang, why don't you listen to me?"

"The army of the Chu State is large in number. I heard that there are a hundred thousand troops just to conquer our Xiongnu. But they are not adapted to the climate of our desert. If they are not accustomed to the acclimatization and soil, their combat capabilities will be greatly weakened. And our two If the [-]-strong army unites with the [-]-strong army under the Fourth Prince, it will be very easy to defend the border."

"But during the battle, we can use some tricks." Yelu Han lowered his voice, "For example, let the fourth prince's men charge first."

Hearing this, Yu Wenxu suddenly understood. He patted Yeluhan on the shoulder with a smile on his face: "Uncle is still smart, I didn't expect that there would be such a way."

"Has Khan thought about what words to use to persuade the fourth prince? The fourth prince is rebellious by nature and is not so easy to explain." Yelu Han reminded again.

At this time, a meaningful smile appeared on Yu Wenxu's face: "Isn't this simple?"

"The reason why the fourth child rebelled is because he is worried that I will kill him when I become Khan. In order to relieve his worries, I will tell him that as long as the Chu army is driven back, I am willing to divide the country. As two, each is a king.”

Yelu Han praised it repeatedly: "Khan's plan is very clever! Even if the fourth prince is not moved, the Wu family will definitely be moved!"

Yu Wenxu smiled proudly: "I will go find the fourth child tonight."

He was very sure in his heart that his plan would definitely work!

……

The team has arrived at the border of the Xiongnu. The vast yellow sand has turned into the Gobi Desert. Although it is deserted, we can still see a few crooked-neck trees and malnourished grass.

Gu Ning rode on the horse and wiped the sweat from her face. She looked at her hands again and found that they were already yellow. She looked away in disgust and secretly asked the system: "Where is the nearest water source from here?"

During this rapid march, there was hardly any time to rest, not to mention that water resources were scarce and precious in the desert. It was not easy to ensure daily food and drink. She had not bathed for more than ten days since she last visited an oasis, and now her hair was They were all knotted, and there was a sour odor all over my body.

Gu Ning wrinkled her delicate nose as she smelled her own scent.

Seeing this, Xie Yan stretched out his hand and placed it on the back of her hand. Although he did not speak, Gu Ning could feel the reliable power conveyed by him.

At the same time, the system also made a sound.

"Eighteen miles away, there is a branch of the lake."

Hearing this, Gu Ning's eyes lit up.

Xie Yan also spoke at this time: "According to the map given by Hu Yanliang, if we advance twenty miles further, we will reach the Moon Sea of ​​the Xiongnu."

"Moon Sea?" Gu Ning raised an eyebrow. Where does the sea come from inland?It must be a lake, but if it can be called a sea, the lake must be very big.

As if to answer Gu Ning's confusion, Xie Yan added: "The Moon Sea is a lake of the Xiongnu. It is named because of its wide area. All the cities of the Xiongnu are built along the Moon Sea. There are hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu people. They live off the moon sea."

Gu Ning blinked and said excitedly: "That means we are very close to the royal court of the Huns."

There are only about 10,000+ Xiongnu people, and they are not too far apart at all. Since they are all in the Moon Sea, they must be very close to the royal court of the Xiongnu!Her goal with Xie Yan was almost achieved!

Gu Ning's eyes were bright, and because of her excitement, her eyes were filled with little smiles.

Seeing this, Xie Yan nodded slightly and said: "The Moon Sea is surrounded by mountains on both sides and is not suitable for human habitation. There are only cities on the east and south. We only need to pass through two cities to reach the King's Court of the Huns."

It was at this moment that the spies who went to the front to investigate the situation came back.

However, the spy's expression was solemn and serious that he hadn't seen in a long time.

"Your Highness, there are soldiers patrolling near Moon Sea."

Hearing this, Gu Ning frowned: "Is there someone patrolling? Has this happened before?"

The spy lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "We used to dress up as traveling traders and often rested here. We never saw patrolling soldiers at all. They must have been added recently."

"Could it be that our actions were discovered?" Although Gu Ning was questioning, he was already very sure of his guess.

Tens of thousands of people were marching up and down, and no matter how small their movement was, the Huns could not fail to notice it. These soldiers must have been patrolling near the Moon Sea in order to capture their whereabouts.

After all, in the water-scarce Gobi, the most important resource is water.

According to the information obtained from Hu Yanliang and other Xiongnu soldiers, and based on what Xie Yan said just now, it can be inferred that the Moon Sea is the water source for the entire Huns. Apart from the Moon Sea, the Huns may have few other water sources.

Thinking of this, Gu Ning's beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly: "Is this their plan? Want to block us from the water source?"

Xie Yan's expression looked a little solemn at this moment. The water source was too important. Their original intention was to go to the Moon Sea to replenish the water source, but now it seems... they may have to spend time looking for the water source.

"Send someone to search nearby..."

"I know where there is water." Gu Ning grabbed Xie Yan's hand, but Xie Yan couldn't finish what he said.

He met Gu Ning's clear eyes and sighed in his heart.

"Another message from your great-aunt?" Xie Yan asked. Gu Ning was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was making excuses for himself in front of so many people.

Gu Ning sighed in her heart. She was so excited just now that she actually forgot that in everyone's eyes, she, a charming princess who never went out or stepped out of the door, should be indifferent to food and work, let alone be able to work in the house. Looking for water in the desert.

She nodded quickly under everyone's gaze: "Yes, my grandmother gave me a map before I came here."

"It is marked on the map that there is a water source in a hill near the Moon Sea." Gu Ning looked innocent. When others saw it, they just muttered to themselves that the eldest princess was really thoughtful.

After all, many years ago, the eldest princess personally led troops to attack the Huns' royal court. Water is an important strategic resource, so it is reasonable for her to take note of it.

"The eldest princess is so wise!" One person said with emotion, "If there were no eldest princess, we would have to go to the Moon Sea to get water at the risk of being discovered."

"And I heard from the seniors that there are many ferocious beasts near Moon Lake, which are very dangerous!"

Everyone was talking and did not doubt Gu Ning.

Only Yuwen Tuo, who was in the prisoner of war camp, his eyes flickered.

Seeing his strange look, Hu Yanliang thought that he still remembered Gu Ning, so he couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Don't think about it, she has eight hundred tricks in her body, and you... I'm afraid you don't have any." one!"

"I didn't!" Yuwen Tuo hurriedly distanced himself, "I was just wondering, why does Gu Ning know the terrain of our Huns so well? She even knows where there is water!"

"Where is the water source near the Moon Sea? Why don't I know? Uncle, do you know?"

Yuwentuo asked three questions in a row, which stunned Hu Yanliang, who was still impatient just now.

It seems... he doesn't know there is water near Moon Sea.

The Moon Sea is a lake that the Huns depended on for their survival. They all drew water from the Moon Sea and never thought that there could be other water sources near the Moon Sea.

Hu Yanliang frowned, but soon found the reason: "The eldest princess of Chu came to the Huns back then. That woman was very powerful. She must have handed these things to Princess Changning."

Yuwen Tuo curled his lips, not believing this statement in his heart, but he had no other more tenable guesses, so he had to suppress these doubts in his heart.

"Uncle, what about the discussion she raised..."

"I agree." Hu Yanliang said, "Second Prince, what do you think?"

When Yuwen Tuo heard this, he sighed deeply: "It's now, so what if we don't agree? If we don't agree, other generals will agree."

"After all, what Chu promised to sell in the market is salt and tea, which are what we lack most." Yuwen Tuo said in a dull voice, "If we had these two things, our Xiongnu population would not be so sparse."

If it weren't for their small population, they would have trained a large number of warriors to conquer Chu and Yan.

For the sake of the people and the future of the Xiongnu, he had to agree even though he had doubts in his heart.

Hu Yanliang also sighed: "In that case, let's invite the Lord of Changning County to come."

"Promise is a promise, but the bottom line must not be retreated!" When Hu Yanliang said this, his eyes became vicious, "We can't let them, Chu State, take advantage of everything!"

As soon as the forward team set off, Chunyu brought good news to Gu Ning.

"Oh?" Gu Ning's beautiful eyes widened, "They agreed?"

"Yes." Chunyu nodded, "But General Huyan said that there are still some details that need to be discussed with you. I hope you can give him an accurate answer."

Gu Ning pinched her chin and had many thoughts in her mind.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Chunyu couldn't help but ask: "Princess Princess, do you think they are too arrogant?"

They are all prisoners, yet they still want to make demands.

Hearing this, Gu Ning waved his hand: "I didn't think so, I was just guessing what they wanted to ask for."

"Forget it." Gu Ning stood up and walked towards the prisoner camp. "Go and meet him, and you will know what he wants to ask for."

Chunyu immediately followed Gu Ning, always alert to those nearby.

Xie Yan, who was discussing the next step with Leng Yu and Fang Weiming, was always paying attention to Gu Ning's whereabouts. When he saw Gu Ning walking towards the prisoner camp, he made a pause gesture towards the two of them and ordered those around him. Yue Rong: "Protect the princess well."

"Yes!" Yue Rong's figure disappeared immediately.

Leng Yu saw Xie Yan's importance to Gu Ning and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

It seems that the general's worries are unnecessary. His Highness cannot even pretend to be so nervous towards the princess.

Before Gu Ning could reach the prisoner camp, Yue Rong used Qing Gong to follow him.

Facing Chunyu's gaze, he coughed lightly and explained: "His Highness was worried about the princess' safety, so he specially sent his subordinates to protect the princess."

"If the princess doesn't like it, your subordinates can stay further away."

While speaking, Yue Rong took a step behind him.

Seeing this, Gu Ning's mouth twitched: "Is this what you mean by staying away?"

"Stay away." Yue Rong smiled and deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of "one point".

Gu Ning rolled her eyes, but didn't let Yue Rong leave. She knew that Xie Yan had always been worried about her, and she always wanted to reassure Xie Yan.

"Then let's go together." Gu Ning said.

Seeing her promise, Yue Rong's heart suddenly settled down and he hurriedly trotted to follow Gu Ning.

At this moment, in the prison camp, Hu Yanliang was ready to welcome Gu Ning's arrival.

His face was full of solemn expression, and his chest rising and falling reflected his nervousness at the moment.
