Chapter 390: The princess is still alive
Within a few days, the vanguard of the Ironclad Artillery Brigade had arrived in Xingzhou, and stopped near Queshan to receive supplies, and then marched north to the core ruling area of An Lushan, if no valuable clues could be found here, there was not much point in marching further north. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After all, the north is already the core ruling area of An Lushan, and with a large number of people and horses of the Fan Yang army setting up cards along the way, it is becoming more and more difficult for the Xi people to overcome, and even if the Xi people are found, it is difficult to quietly take people away from under the nose of An Lushan.
The large number of corpses along the way has proved that An Lushan wants to kill all these informants of the Xi people, and will not leave the slightest living mouth, so as not to affect his future, if they find the Xi people and insist on taking them away, God knows how An Lushan will react.
Guo Yan's main force of soldiers and horses has arrived at the administrative center of Xingzhou, keeping a distance of dozens of miles from the forward soldiers and horses, and continues to wait for the supply of coal in the back, in addition, the officials and people of Xingzhou are allowed to visit the ironclad artillery carriage in the periphery, but it is absolutely forbidden for the people to get too close, and let them watch from a distance, so as to avoid unpredictable dangerous situations.
In Jixian County, Youzhou, An Lushan seemed a little restless, he had learned that the Ironclad Artillery Brigade was marching north, although the Ironclad Artillery Brigade was heading north, in the name of training and deterring the two Tibetans, but he was still a little worried.
After all, along the way to the north of the ironclad artillery brigade, there are a large number of men and horses deployed by him, and he deployed these horses to intercept and kill the people sent to the capital by the two Tibetans.
In fact, the reason why An Lushan was most frightened was because the ironclad artillery brigade was a team formed by Li An, and many of the officers and soldiers in it must be Li An's henchmen.
Of course, the reason why An Lushan was nervous was because of the bad things he had done, and the rebellion between the two Tibetans was planned by him, and once the emperor learned the truth, it would be very unfavorable to him.
"The ironclad artillery brigade suddenly went north, it must be aimed at this commander, closely monitor the ironclad artillery brigade, and also, transfer the Fanyang artillery brigade over, once there is an accident......"
An Lushan ordered angrily.
"Marshal, what are you going to do, transfer the Fanyang Artillery Brigade over, do you want to destroy the ironclad artillery brigade, this is the most elite soldiers and horses in the hands of His Majesty, we must not make a mistake."
Yan Zhuang was shocked and hurriedly persuaded him.
"Hmph, then what do you want Ben Shuai to do, do you just watch them come and make trouble, this is Ben Shuai's territory, they don't want to go wild here."
An Lushan said loudly.
"Jie Shuai is angry, we just need to closely monitor the ironclad artillery brigade, there is no need to make a big move, see what they are going to do."
Yan Zhuang continued to persuade.
"Okay, so be it! By the way, hasn't the princess been found yet? ”
An Lushan continued to ask.
"Don't worry, the soldiers are trying to find it, there are our people at all the intersections leading to the capital, if the princess is still alive, she can't escape to the capital."
Yan solemnly said affirmatively.
"We must find the princess as soon as possible, Ben Shuai has already made it very clear in the recital, the princess was killed by the two fans, if the living princess suddenly appears in front of His Majesty, Ben Shuai will not be easy to explain."
An Lushan said worriedly.
"Yes, don't worry, the living princess will definitely not appear in front of His Majesty, and his subordinates can guarantee it."
Yan Zhuang said calmly.
An Lushan's sudden attack on Liangbo certainly had its own reasons, but it also had a lot to do with the selfishness of Yan Zhuang and other staff.
For the sake of their own selfishness, these staff members not only did not persuade An Lushan to cultivate morality, but constantly gave An Lushan some bad ideas, and let An Lushan send troops to crusade against Liangfan, which was the idea of these staff, among them, the solemn idea was the most important.
And at this moment, the reason why Yan Zhuang dared to guarantee that the living princess would not return to the capital was because the soldiers and horses along the way were all deployed by him personally, and he was very confident in his deployment.
In addition, when he broke through the main force of Liangfan, he had already learned from the captives that Liangbo had sent the princess to the capital, but the road was blocked, and the princess was trapped in the mountains.
And from the time calculation, the most likely, of course, is the closest to the two mountain ranges, so Yan Zhuang put a lot of manpower on searching for these mountain ranges, and sent a small number of men and horses to the south along the way, just in case.
However, Yan Zhuang underestimated the ability of the Xi people, and when the princess was trapped, she had already traveled more than a thousand miles to the south, and was even about to break away from An Lushan's sphere of influence, but she was caught up by the cavalry of the Pinglu army, blocking the road, and could only temporarily take refuge in the mountains.
And the mountain range where the princess is hiding is the Queshan Mountain in the west of Xingzhou, a very inconspicuous hill, and it is impossible for Yan Zhuang to think of this extremely inconspicuous hill even if he calculates.
"Princess, eat some wild fruit! Fill your stomach. ”
In a very inconspicuous col of Queshan Mountain, Princess Jingle and Princess Yifang wore the clothes of ordinary village women, sitting blankly on the fire.
"Isn't there still horse meat? Why Eat Wild Fruits? ”
The two princesses were very tired of eating wild fruits from wild trees, and they became emotional.
"Princess, it's still far from the capital, we're trapped here, let's save a little if we can! Horse meat can only be eaten once a day. ”
Li Ya'er opened her mouth to persuade.
There were only eight people in their group, and the target was very small, two men and six women, but except for the two princesses, the other four women were all wearing men's clothes, so if you looked at it from a distance, you thought it was six men and two women.
The task of escorting the princess was proposed by Li Hanlu on his own initiative, in addition to Li Ya'er who followed, there were also two men, two women and four guards, all four of whom were warriors of the Nu Dynasty, absolutely loyal and reliable.
Now they are trapped in Queshan, and in order to prevent leaking their whereabouts, they never light fires at night, and try to avoid smoke when they light fires during the day.
Because the mountains are very barren and there is almost no prey, they can only feed their hunger with wild fruits, and even have to slaughter a horse in order to fill their stomachs.
The number of horses is limited, so horse meat should be extra economical.
"The road is blocked, can we still go back to the capital?"
Princess Yifang stuffed a wild fruit into her mouth, revealing a painful expression, she was used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and she couldn't stand the taste of wild fruits.
"Sister, don't worry, since we have escaped, we will definitely be able to go back alive."
Princess Jingle opened her mouth to comfort.
"I really hope to return to the capital as soon as possible and eat wild fruits!"
As soon as Princess Yifang thought of returning to the capital, she immediately felt that the wild fruits were not so unpalatable, as long as she could go back smoothly, she would definitely be able to eat a lot of delicious things to make up for the loss of these days.
"Sister, you're back! Is there anyone still blocking the road? ”
Seeing Li Hanlu returning, Li Ya'er hurriedly asked.
"Yes, An Lushan's soldiers and horses have not withdrawn, and they have set up camps on our necessary route, as if they have plans to stay for a long time."
Li Hanlu replied calmly.
"Ahh Then we will never be able to go back. ”
When the two princesses heard this, they looked very nervous.
"Don't worry, princess, we'll figure it out."
Li Hanlu comforted, looked at Li Ya'er, and walked aside.
"Sister, is there anything you need me to do?"
"When I went out just now, I saw ironclad artillery trucks, more than a dozen."
Li Hanlu replied.
"Ironclad artillery carriage? Wasn't that invented by the big brother? Could it be that the eldest brother is here? ”
Li Ya'er was suddenly a little excited.
"He shouldn't have come, the flag is Guo, it is said that he went north to train, but I don't think it's that simple."
"Sister, let me go and see! Many of my brother's subordinates know me. ”
Li Hanlu nodded and said, "Okay, you can go and have a look, but if you are targeted, don't come back, the princess's position cannot be exposed." ”’
"Sister, don't worry, I will be very careful not to reveal the princess's location, but if it is someone sent by the eldest brother, I will ask them to come and take us to the capital."
Li Ya'er said happily.
"Okay, you must see clearly, who is the person who came, what is he here for, you can't confirm that it is foolproof, and we must not reveal our location."
"Yes, sister, I'll go."
"Wait, let's take a detour!"
Li Ya'er nodded, made a detour of twenty miles, and headed towards the camp of the first team of the first brigade of the ironclad artillery truck.
An hour later, Li Ya'er arrived at the camp of the first team of the ironclad artillery car and strode over.
"Who?"
Li Ya'er didn't answer, she saw Zhang Erniu who was eating lunch, and shouted, "Brother Erniu." ”
"Bud, it's really you, come here."
Zhang Erniu was overjoyed, this time, the most important task that Li An gave him was to pick up Li Ya'er, and when he saw Ya'er at this time, most of the task was completed.
"Ya'er, why are you here alone and still dressed like this?"
Li Ya'er didn't answer, and after walking in, she asked, "Brother Erniu, it was the eldest brother who asked you to come and take me back to the capital, didn't you?" ”
"Well, that's right, your eldest brother heard that the two were in turmoil, and he was very worried about you, so he casually found an excuse and sent us here, by the way, your third brother Feiyu also came and was with Guo Yan."
Zhang Erniu said with a smile.
"The third brother is also here, it's really good, I'm relieved now, Brother Erniu, can I go to the third brother now?"
Li Yaer was very happy.
"Of course you can, but your third brother and the main force are still in the criminal state office, dozens of miles away from here, and it will take a long time in the past."
"It's okay, I want to see my third brother now."
Li Yaer still has a better relationship with Li Feiyu, who grew up with her, and trusts Li Feiyu more.
"Okay, Brother Erniu won't eat anymore, we'll go to your third brother now."
After Zhang Erniu explained the situation, he drove away the only ironclad command car in the first team, of course, it was the driver who drove, and he sat in it with Li Yaer and chatted.
The ironclad command car is not only much more comfortable than the ironclad artillery car, but also completely explodes the ironclad artillery car in terms of driving speed.
"Ya'er, it's already here, look outside, it's all ironclad artillery cars, magnificent!"
Zhang Erniu said proudly.
"Well, it's very magnificent, what about the third brother? Will you let him come and see me? ”
Li Ya'er said.
"Oh, Ya'er is magnificent now, first let Brother Erniu send you over, and now, I want your third brother to come over to see you in person, okay, who made your eldest brother so powerful and hurt you so much, wait a minute, I'll go find your third brother."
Zhang Erniu sighed with emotion and strode to select the ironclad command vehicle.
"Feiyu, your sister asked you to go over, go quickly!"
"My sister?"
Li Feiyu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Is it Ya'er?" She found it? ”
"Anyway, I was having lunch, and suddenly a girl shouted a second cow brother, I saw that it was a bud, so I brought it back, she was still a little shy, and refused to get out of the car, let you, the third brother, go over in person."
Zhang Erniu said with a hippie smile, of course he was in a very good mood to meet Li Ya'er so smoothly this time, at least after going back, Li An would be very happy.
"Bud shy? I'll go take a look. ”
Li Feiyu strode towards the ironclad command car, and Guo Yang and Zhang Erniu also followed.
"Ya'er, it's really you, what are you doing hiding in the car, you're really shy?"
Li Feiyu laughed.
Third brother, don't listen to Brother Erniu's nonsense, I have something important to discuss with you? ”
"Big deal? What's the big deal? ”
"Third brother, is it really the eldest brother who sent you over to take me back?"
Li Ya'er opened her mouth to confirm.
"Don't you know your big brother yet? He heard that something had happened to Liangfan and was very worried about you, so let's come and find you and take you back, and find out what happened in Liangfan? Your eldest brother thinks there may be something hidden here. ”
Li Feiyu said.
"The eldest brother really said so, then I can rest assured, all the circumstances, the two princesses can testify, as long as you bring the princess back as soon as possible, naturally everything will be clear."
Li Ya'er said.
"Two princesses? Is it Princess Jingle and Princess Yifang? Didn't they get killed by the two of them? ”
Li Feiyu was shocked.
"What, the princess is still alive?"
Guo Yan and Zhang Erniu, who followed closely, also heard the conversation inside, and hurriedly jumped in, looking at Li Ya'er very nervously.
Li Ya'er briefly explained what happened to the two fans, and told the three of them the princess's current situation, and asked the three of them to find a way to send the princess back to the capital as soon as possible.
The three of them were overjoyed to learn that the two princesses were still alive, and immediately took out a map to study how to receive the princess in the fastest and safest way, and quickly sent them back to the capital.
