After making the most basic judgment, Sun Xiaozhe's state of mind settled down, since it was impossible for the Anxi army to dispatch all the men and horses, then the 100,000 people brought by Li Siye had to be considered. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Probe, report!"

A large number of horse exploration rangers were scattered, and Sun Xiaozhe was already sleepy, and after thinking about it, he decided to investigate it himself.

"Where is Zhang Tongru?"

"Marshal, Vice Admiral Zhang will go to inspect the battalions. ”

Sun Xiaozhe shook his head, Zhang Tongru still did not abandon him at this almost Jedi juncture, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart.

With more than 500 personal cavalry, Sun Xiaozhe went all the way to the west. It is reported that Li Siye's men and horses are 20 miles west of Chang'an, which is not close, but not far, and can not only attack at any time, but also withdraw at any time. To be honest, he is still quite jealous of Li Siye and others.

As we all know, among the border armies in various parts of the Tang Dynasty, the most capable generals were either in Anxi or Youzhou.

Because Ansinai is next door to a place of bitter heat and cold, and far from Middle-earth, the incompetent cannot be sent here. And Youzhou is facing the powerful and barbaric Khitans, even An Lushan has repeatedly suffered great losses at the hands of the Khitans, so most of the incompetent people will die within a year or two when they arrive in Youzhou.

The rest of Hexi Longyou Shuo Fang, has become a place where the children of powerful ministers and nobles or speculators compete to mix qualifications, although Hexi Longyou also has to face the threat of the Tubo people from time to time, but its intensity is not the same as that of Anxi and Youzhou.

Li Siye has served under Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing, and has been working in Anxi for more than ten years, so his ability naturally cannot be underestimated.

This is also the main reason why Sun Xiaozhe personally went to investigate the truth and the false.

The farther west you go, the more ** horses on the road, but Sun Xiaozhe is also a person who has experienced a hundred battles, and he has no fear of this.

Therefore, Sun Xiaozhe did not care about the dissuasion of his subordinates, and drove all the way in, gradually approaching the center of Li Siye's army.

If a small group of ** rangers found them, they quickly rushed up and surrounded them. If the opponent is hundreds in size, speed up to avoid it.

"Dashuai, there are thousands of foot soldiers in front, if we move forward again, I'm afraid we will be bitten by the other party!"

Sun Xiaozhe reined in the horse, went up the high slope, and looked into the dark void, and the lights were dotted in between, which seemed to stretch for several miles. Where are the thousands of people, it is clear that they have already touched the camp of the Tang army. Realizing this, he felt nervous, excited, and excited in his heart.

Unexpectedly, he easily touched the left side of Li Siye's army, and he was glad that he did not lightly attack the enemy again, otherwise he would really be surrounded as soon as he rushed in, calling the sky unspiritual, and the earth should not be.

Suddenly, he heard the crying and complaining voices of old and weak women and children, and he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart, but whenever the army is dispatched, he will not bring his family with him, Li Siye is a general in the army, how can he not know this truth?

With this kind of doubt, Sun Xiaozhe gave up the idea of leaving immediately, and planned to get closer to find out the truth of the other party.

However, Sun Xiaozhe did not act rashly, but personally took more than 20 horsemen to accompany him, pretending to be an ordinary horse exploration ranger, and went west more than two miles again, and finally bumped into the Tang army in charge of patrolling.

A burst of feather arrows came with a puff, and Sun Xiaozhe's more than 20 horsemen skillfully made a bend, and all the feather arrows were shot empty.

This is the first of the most sloppy crossbows, he realized that he couldn't go deeper, but he didn't fully understand the situation, how could he give up? Fortunately, the other party only regarded more than 20 horses as a plopping probe horse, and only dispersed the matter, and did not chase and kill them all.

Sun Xiaozhe also calculated this point, so he pretended to be a ranger and went deep into the ** interior, intending to arrive at the military camp and take a peek.

After evading the patrolling Tang Army's foot soldiers, Sun Xiaozhe suddenly found a group of people rushing north behind the hillside.

Sun Xiaozhe secretly said that he was unlucky, he had just dodged a group of patrolling Tang troops, and then he bumped into a group of people in the blink of an eye.

"Dashuai, it seems to be a homeless!"

Suddenly, a subordinate reminded him, Sun Xiaozhe reacted, listened carefully and observed, and sure enough, he was a refugee. Just listening to the noisy voices of women in this group of people is really not the style of marching.

At this point, Sun Xiaozhe has more or less the bottom in his heart, and it seems that the 100,000 people declared by Li Siye should be the result of helping the old and the young.

Liang Zai, the envoy of Anxi Jiedu, should not have sent many men to Li Siye, according to his judgment, at most there will be no more than 10,000 people.

"This Li Siye is really a loyal and brave person, if he can be used by my Dayan......"

For a while, Sun Xiaozhe actually felt a sense of pity for Li Siye. However, after sighing with emotion, he sighed again, he was now difficult to preserve, so what could he talk about to win the hearts and minds of Dayan? Tongguan had been in the hands of the Tang Dynasty for several months, and it was impossible for Luoyang to be unresponsive. But there was no response, which can only show one problem, that is, there must have been a change that I don't know about.

But what is the change, Sun Xiaozhe is reluctant to think deeply, the worst may be nothing more than that An Qingxu, the king of Jin, lost his dominant position in front of Shi Siming, so he was constrained.

He shook his head and pulled his thoughts back to reality, although the overall situation was unfavorable, but Li Siye's so-called 100,000 army was just a strong foreign force and a middle cadre, how could a rabble composed of the old, weak, sick and disabled people have combat effectiveness?

In order to confirm the situation, Sun Xiaozhe took another risk and went around from south to west, this time he did not encounter the patrol **, and all he saw along the way were old and weak people.

"Li Siye has become a gathering place for displaced people here, it's really strange, where did he get so much food?"

The words of a subordinate reminded Sun Xiaozhe, yes, where did Li Siye get so much food, and he could feed so many refugees.

Realizing this, Sun Xiaozhe's mind was activated, if Li Siye really had a batch of grain that could supply 100,000 soldiers and civilians, then ......

A bold thought popped up in Sun Xiaozhe's head.

"Let's go!"

After discovering the basic military information he wanted to know, Sun Xiaozhe gave up continuing the adventure and returned to the military camp outside Chang'an with five hundred relatives and cavalry.

When he returned to the barracks, Zhang Tongru was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and when he saw Sun Xiaozhe showing up, he stepped forward in a hurry.

"It's back, big handsome, if there is anything to send the last general, why bother, why take the risk yourself?"

If it was in the past, Sun Xiaozhe would have scolded Zhang Tongru and scolded him for being nosy, but today he smiled comfortably:

"It's worth the risk tonight!

When Zhang Tongru learned that most of the so-called 100,000 troops brought by Li Siye were homeless, he couldn't help but feel strange, but immediately said nervously:

"Even if 100,000 displaced people come to attack in a concentrated manner, it will be a big threat to us!"

Zhang Tongru's worries are not superfluous, if in the past, he would definitely not have taken the 100,000 displaced people into account, but now he is on the verge of the collapse of the army's morale, and any disturbance may have an irreparable impact on the army's morale.

But seeing Sun Xiaozhe's smile, he asked rhetorically: "Threat? Since we followed His Majesty to raise the army, there was a moment when we never faced danger? When did you become so timid?"

Hearing this, Zhang Tongru's eyes showed a look of confusion, since he fed on human breasts, Sun Xiaozhe gave up on himself, and numbed himself with wine all day long, but today's change was too abrupt, and the spews in his eyes seemed to be scorching flames.

Sun Xiaozhe suddenly seemed to have discovered a treasure, and the whole person survived from a drunken dream of death.

"Think about it carefully, why are the homeless people willing to follow Li Siye?"

Zhang Tongru said secretly, needless to say, if you don't follow Li Siye, won't you have to be arrested to be a human breast?

However, knowing Sun Xiaozhe's temper, he was reluctant to tell this fact, so he only hesitated and spouted.

Seeing this, Sun Xiaozhe paced to his side, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder.

"You, you, how come you only see the danger but not the opportunity?"

Zhang Tongru was even more confused.

"Opportunity?"

The Tang Dynasty army should cooperate with them inside and outside, how could they still have a chance? Not to mention the 100,000 displaced people, even if 100,000 cattle and sheep rushed up, it would be a big trouble for them.

Seeing that Zhang Tongru was still ignorant, Sun Xiaozhe no longer sold Guanzi, and said calmly:

"Why was Li Siye able to gather 100,000 displaced people?

A word woke up the person in the dream, Zhang Tongru patted his forehead and suddenly realized.

"Yes, if there is not enough food supply, how can the displaced people follow Li Siye? But where did Li Siye get the food?"

Zhang Tongru still has a lot to know about the grain situation in Guanzhong, and he can't wait to scrape the ground where he can scavenge, and he has already searched cleanly, and Li Siye has just arrived, and it is impossible to get enough grain. It is even more impossible to bring a large amount of grain from Anxi, and the food consumed by the thousands of miles is probably far greater than the grain transported.

Could it be that they also eat human breasts?

However, he just gave birth to this idea and immediately denied it, no matter what, the officials of the Tang Dynasty would not be like this.

Sun Xiaozhe saw through his mind at a glance.

"Are you wondering why they don't eat human breast?"

Zhang Tongru said embarrassedly:

The last general did assume so, but he felt that it was impossible, so he did not say it explicitly. ”

Sun Xiaozhe asked rhetorically:

"Who said that the officials of the Tang Dynasty would not dare to eat human breasts?"

"This, how is this possible?"

"Is it impossible?"

Between the two of them, Zhang Tongru suddenly realized that he was wishful thinking again, and immediately felt that Li Siye had no channels to obtain food, so what could he eat without eating human breasts?

Who knew that Sun Xiaozhe's words changed again.

"With people like Li Siye, they are extremely pedantic, and it is absolutely impossible to do such a thing. ”
