Everyone waited on the rock for nearly half an hour, and when everyone was anxious, Guo Song came from a distance with a large group of horses.

Liang Wu immediately urged the horse to meet him, and complained a little: "Why are you only coming back now?" ”

"Of course I want to see the results!"

"How's it going?" Li Ji asked in a deep voice from behind.

Guo Song said with a smile: "I waited for the fire to engulf the entire barracks, and determined that it was impossible for any soldiers to escape alive, and went to count the soldiers who escaped, only less than 1,400 people, if there were really 3,000 people in the barracks, then this fire burned at least 1,600 people." ”

Everyone exclaimed, and Li Ji asked in a deep voice, "What do you think of yourself?" You should know in your heart, did most of the soldiers escape? ”

Guo Song groaned and said: "The soldiers in the south escaped a little more, and the soldiers in the north are basically finished, I personally feel that the burn is very bad, and most of the soldiers have not been able to escape." ”

"That's right, I believe my judgment is not wrong, and I can also know from the number of war horses, it should be three thousand soldiers."

"Guo Song, what is this?" Liang Wu asked, pointing to a large package behind him.

"That's a gift for you, it's all military cards, there's a thousand-sucker, there's a centurion, and most of them are soldiers."

Everyone surrounded one after another, and there were two or three hundred military cards in the package, Duan Sanniang asked in surprise: "The fire is so big, where do you have time to pick up military cards piece by piece?" ”

Guo Song smiled, "I killed the commander of the thousand, I happened to meet a group of soldiers when I came out, I said to those soldiers who escaped, I want to count the survivors, and ask them to hand over the military badges to me, and I received a lot of them." ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, how could there be such a thing?

Li Ji's face showed a happy smile, "It's a pity that you don't join the army." ”

Guo Song smiled faintly, "When I was in Hexi, someone had already said this, let's go!" It's just a pity that these horses, nearly two hundred! ”

"Don't worry about this problem, we can't go back together in the first place, there are not enough rafts."

Li Ji turned back to Lin Tai and said, "You take Liang Wu, Liang Ju'er, Lin Yang and Duan Sanniang directly south along the west bank of the Yellow River and bring these horses back." ”

"Obey the order!"

Li Ji's words are military orders, and they must be obeyed, Liang Wu stepped forward and hugged Guo Song, "Man, it seems that we are going to break up, and our Liang family is still counting on you as foreign aid next year!" You have to come to Lingzhou. ”

"I'll try my best! Say sorry to Ling'er for me, she thought I would go back. ”

"Little girl, leave her alone, you take care of yourself all the way."

Guo Song patted him on the shoulder, "You take care of yourself!" ”

Guo Song saw Duan Sanniang looking at him again, as if he wanted to say something, he raised his dagger and said with a smile: "Miss Duan, thanks to it today, I like it very much, say hello to Ling Zun for me." ”

Duan Sanniang nodded, this experience made her understand a lot of things, and she gradually matured.

At this time, Lin Tai stepped forward and patted Guo Song on the shoulder, "Come to Lingzhou when you encounter danger, the door of Lingzhou will always be open to you." ”

"Brother Lin, take care!"

"Have a nice trip to you, too!"

Guo Song waved goodbye to everyone one by one, and the five of them galloped south with more than a hundred war horses, and they also brought more than a dozen sheep as food on the road.

The remaining eight people crossed the Yellow River and joined their teammates on the opposite bank, Guo Song led his horse, and suddenly a crisp chirp came from the sky.

As soon as everyone looked up, they saw an eagle hovering above their heads, rushing down, and landing on Guo Song's head accurately, it stretched out its claws and grabbed it twice, and Guo Song was immediately dismantled.

Guo Song said angrily: "You have a new love, and you actually blame me?" ”

Mengzi also pecked lightly on Guo Song's head twice in annoyance, and with a of tail, a bubble of eagle feces was pulled on Guo Song's shoulder, and he fluttered his wings and flew into the sky.

Everyone laughed, Guo Song couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly took out a water hyacher to wash away the bird feces on his shoulder.

"Stinky boy, I'll clean you up when I get back!" Guo Song waved his fist at the sky.

"Chirp-" The fierce son let out a long roar and flew towards the east.

The people also mounted their horses and rode along the perimeter of the woods towards the camp to the east.

Guo Song needed to say goodbye to Shi Tong again, and then he would walk east along the Yellow River and go directly to Chang'an.

At noon, the group finally returned to the campsite, and two miles away from the camp, they saw several left-behind teammates running out of the woods and running towards them.

Everyone was panicked, and Meng Jian, the leader, shouted: "Captain Li, something happened!" ”

"What's going on? Don't rush, speak slowly. ”

"Shi Tong and Han Shun'er were taken captive."

Everyone was taken aback, and Guo Song hurriedly said: "What's the matter, who kidnapped them?" ”

"Early this morning, the three of them went fishing by the lake, saying that they were eating grilled fish at noon, and then Yang Jun ran back in a panic, saying that a group of cavalry was coming, and when we rushed over, Shi Tong and they were gone, and the cavalry was gone."

"Is it Xue Yantuo's cavalry?"

"We don't know."

"Where is Yang Jun? Bring him to me. Li Ji said sharply.

Not long after, another logistics team member, Yang Jun, was brought up, and his face was shocked.

"Tell me more about what happened?"

Yang Jun lowered his head and whispered: "The three of us were fishing and grilling fish by the lake, and when we found that we didn't bring salt, I went back to get salt, and when I came back, I saw a group of cavalry surrounding them, and I was so frightened that I ran back for help, and when everyone rushed over, everyone was gone." ”

"Are you sure they're being taken captive?"

Yang Jun nodded, "I saw Han Shun'er being caught on the horse, Shi Tong wanted to escape, but was stopped by them." ”

"How many cavalry are there, and what kind of dress?"

"About thirty people, all dressed in black, dressed in big hats, and wearing something like a flame on their heads."

As soon as his words fell, Li Ji blurted out, "It's the person from the Sijie Department!" ”

Guo Song was a little anxious, and asked, "What is the Sijie Department, where are they?" ”

"Let's go to the lake and have a look, and then I'll tell you, but don't worry, Shi Tong and his life shouldn't be in danger."

Everyone urged the horses to run towards the lake, on the way, Li Ji said to Guo Song: "Sijie is one of the nine tribes of Tiele, the tooth tent is located in the north of Yinshan, about 1,500 miles away from here, their biggest feature is to wear black clothes, wear a flame emblem on their heads, they are the sworn enemies of the Xue Yantuo people, and the relationship with the Tang Dynasty has always been good." ”

"Then what are they doing when they kidnap Shi Tong?"

Li Ji pondered and said: "I guess it should be a team of cavalry sentries who came to inquire about Xue Yantuo's invasion of Lingzhou, maybe they wanted to know the situation in Lingzhou, so they took Shi Tong and the others away, and they should be released back after a while." ”

"Are you sure they'll be released?"

Li Ji smiled bitterly, "I can only think on the bright side." ”

"What if it's the bad side?"

Li Ji hesitated and said: "The Tiele tribes are in war every year, and there is a general shortage of men in all departments, and there were once Han people who were taken captive to Mobei in the Kaiyuan period, and they got married and had children on the grassland, and they were already old men when they came back. ”

Guo Song's heart sank, if this is the case, how can he explain to the fat aunt?

Everyone ran to the small lake, the fishing rod was still there, the stove was knocked to the ground, and there were dense horseshoe prints all around, Li Ji jumped off the horse, walked a dozen steps along a long series of horseshoe prints, and lay on the ground to study for a long time.

He stood up and said, "Thirty cavalrymen indeed!" ”

"Where did they go?" Guo Song asked anxiously.

"I told you, go more than 100 miles to the east, a section of the Yellow River is called a shallow beach, where horses can swim across the Yellow River, and then go straight, the Yellow River in the north is also very shallow, horses can also pass, from there they go north to think about the knot."

Guo Song immediately decided: "They have only been gone for half a day, we can still catch up, let's set off immediately!" ”

"No way!" Li Ji flatly refused.

"Why?" Guo Song was stunned.

"The order I received is that after the mission is over, regardless of casualties, immediately lead everyone back to Lingzhou, I can't make any extraneous branches, Guo Song, I'm sorry!" Li Ji said apologetically.

"But Shi Tong is our brother, your subordinate, he was taken captive, how can you leave him and go back?"

"I'm a scout lieutenant, I only know that military orders are like mountains, even if it's my own brother, I must carry out military orders."

"What about them?" Guo Song glanced at the others, "They also have to go back with you?" ”

Li Ji nodded, "This is a military order!" ”

"Oh well! I'll go alone, I'm not your subordinate, I'm not a Shuofang general, I'll talk to the Jiedu envoy, I'll leave when the mission is over, I'll go and chase Shi Tong back, please tell his mother, I promised her, I will definitely do it. ”

After saying that, Guo Song turned around and led the horse to leave, Li Ji suddenly said, "Wait a minute!" ”

Guo Song grabbed the war horse and looked back at him coldly, Li Ji sighed, took a thin rope from his neck, there was something like a jade pipe on it, and he stepped forward to stuff the jade pipe into Guo Song's hand.

"I also had a letter eagle, accompanied me for ten years, is my brother, the year before last I encountered Xue Yantuo riding sentry, in the body of several arrows, it in order to save me, died under Xue Yantuo riding sentry arrow, I used one of its bones to make this eagle flute, give it to you, it can help you find your own eagle, no matter how far away it is, as long as you blow this eagle flute, it can find you."

Guo Song was moved in his heart, took out the wild boar tooth and put it in Li Ji's hand, "This wild boar tooth was hunted by my own hands, may it bring you luck." ”

After speaking, Guo Song turned over and got on his horse, ran a few steps, he turned his head and looked at Li Jidao: "You are the best scout in Datang, there is no one, it is a great honor for me Guo Song to fight side by side with you!" ”

He clamped his horse between his legs, and the horse spread its hooves and galloped eastward, and above his head, an eagle eagle followed him and flew eastward.
