The Invincible Sixth Prince

Chapter 977 Thinking about the future

Beihuan’s main camp was set up to the west of Qinlin grassland.

It is nearly five hundred miles away from Yun Zheng and his group’s camp.

This distance is neither close nor far.

Under these weather conditions, it will take at least three to four days for both sides to support each other.

If we encounter extreme weather such as white-hair wind, the support time will be longer.

The northern barbarians have not made any major moves for a long time, and Jia Yao also feels that something is wrong.

She was wondering if the people she had sent to investigate in the northern barbarian territory had fallen into the hands of the North.

Otherwise, why has such a long time passed and no news has been sent back about the latest movements of the northern barbarian army?

The more Jia Yao thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

A war is about to begin, and the unknown enemy movements are the most terrifying thing!

They concentrated almost all their forces here.

If their judgment is wrong and the northern barbarians invade Beihuan from other places, Beihuan will probably face a huge disaster!

When he thought of this, Jia Yao felt uneasy.

Feeling annoyed, Jia Yao put on the cloak hanging on the side, stood up and walked out of the tent.

Outside, it was a world of ice and snow.

The cold wind was howling, and from time to time it made howls like ghosts and wolves.

In such weather, Jia Yao did not let the soldiers train.

Except for the patrolling soldiers, most of the soldiers were hiding in their tents.

The feeling of coldness calmed Jia Yao's restless mood a little. Jia Yao stood in the cold wind, thinking silently.

There were signs that the barbarians were gathering a large army before, so why are they quiet now?

Is there any other reason besides the accident that happened to the spy she sent out?

Could it be that the barbarians knew that they were on guard and decided not to attack?

If that's true, that would be great!

But based on her understanding of the northern barbarians, they would not give up after suffering such a great loss before.

The more Jia Yao thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was too strange, so he simply closed his eyes and thought carefully.

When Hutulu and Guge came, Jiayao was still standing in the snow like a statue.

The two were about to salute, but they saw Jia Yao's eyes were closed and his brows were furrowed.

The two of them glanced at each other silently, without saying anything to disturb each other, and just stood in the snow with Jia Yao.

Jia Yao pondered for a long time, and his face became numb from the cold.

Suddenly, Jiayao opened his eyes and shouted: "Come here, tell Hutulu and Guge to come to the tent immediately..."

"Princess!"

Before Jia Yao could finish her words, Guge's voice suddenly sounded in her ears.

Jia Yao was stunned and realized that Guge and Hutulu were right beside him.

"You guys came just in time. I just thought of a possibility. Let's go into the tent and discuss it!"

Jia Yao didn't bother to say much to the two of them and hurriedly invited them into the big tent to discuss.

The two did not dare to delay and quickly entered the big tent.

Soon, Jia Yao told the two of them his guess.

Hearing Jia Yao's guess, their eyelids suddenly jumped.

Divide the troops and hide them!

The moves that Yun Zheng had used before!

They also subconsciously thought that the barbarians were just a group of brainless savages and never thought about this at all.

But after hearing what Jia Yao said, they suddenly felt that this was possible.

They suddenly realized that they had overlooked an important person.

Lou Yi!

At this moment, the voice of the personal guard Qiqige suddenly rang out from outside the tent: "Princess, we have received a message from the white falcon!"

Qiqige is Guge's younger sister.

After Guge was sent by Jiayao to lead the army, Qiqige took over Guge as the commander of Jiayao's personal guards.

White falcon delivering a message?

Jiayao's mind moved, and without bothering to continue discussing with Hutulu and Guge, he immediately said: "Bring it in!"

"Yes!"

Soon, Qi Qige lifted the curtain of the tent and walked in quickly.

Jia Yao couldn't wait to open the small wooden tube, take out the note inside and unfold it.

After deciphering the contents of the letter, Jia Yao couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

Sure enough, Yun Zheng also suspected that the barbarians were going to use the method of dividing and hiding their troops.

I was still thinking about reminding Yun Zheng, but I didn't expect Yun Zheng to think ahead of me!

However, Yun Zheng has already arrived at their camp, which is a good thing.

Jia Yao told Guge and Hutulu about Yun Zheng's guess, and said quietly: "Since Yun Zheng also has such a judgment, we must investigate it carefully!"

Gu Ge nodded: "If the princess is right, the northern barbarians are probably hiding in the big forest in the north! That is a good place to avoid the wind and snow! Moreover, it is not easy to be discovered."

"Correct!"

Hutulu agreed and volunteered: "I'll send someone to investigate right away!"

"Not urgent!"

Jia Yao stopped Hutulu from acting so vigorously, "Let me think about it carefully..."

That primeval forest in the north is indeed a good place to hide.

It would be more convenient to pass through there, whether it is a raid on Qinlin grassland or the royal court.

However, she had already relocated all the tribes close to the north in advance.

Even if the northern barbarians broke out of that primeval forest, they would not be able to obtain supplies, and their whereabouts would be completely exposed!

In this case, what is the point of the northern barbarians hiding there?

Hearing Jiayao's question, Hutulu and Guge were also confused.

Although the barbarians are not smart, since we are going to fight a war, we still have to do some at least some reconnaissance, right?

As for the large-scale migration of the tribes to their north, as long as the barbarians send some people to investigate, they should be able to get the news, right?

Once the barbarians get the news that their northern tribes are migrating, what's the point of them hiding in that primeval forest?

Just to avoid the wind and snow?

The barbarians are cold-resistant. There are plenty of places for them to hide from the wind and snow, so why should they hide in that primeval forest?

The barbarians had encountered fire attacks in that primeval forest before, so they should be more or less on guard, right?

I won't make the same mistake again, right?

After pondering for a moment, Hutulu asked tentatively: "Will the barbarians think that we are going to use fire attack again and want to ambush there in advance and ambush us who go to set a trap for them?"

"This……"

Jia Yao thought silently for a while, nodded and said: "That's possible! The Barbarian King can't think of this, but Lou Yi might think of it..."

Judging from the current situation, Lou Yi is likely to gain power among the barbarians.

If the opponent is changed to Lou Yi, the abnormal behavior of the barbarians can be understood.

Hutulu thought for a moment and said, "Then I will send someone to monitor the periphery of the forest. Once the barbarians come out, we will be able to get the news as quickly as possible!"

"That's okay!"

Jia Yao pondered for a moment and said, "Tell the people to pay attention to the movements over there. There is no need to go in to investigate! If the barbarians are really hiding in there and trying to waste time with us, then we should be happy!"

Try not to fight if you can.

If you can do it in other seasons, try not to do it in the cold winter.

Although it would not be good for them to just keep wasting time like this, it was definitely better than starting a war at this time.

"Yes!"

Hutulu received the order and immediately stood up and left the tent.
