Yuesheng and Yue'e urged their horses out of the camp gate, and with the help of the faint starlight in the sky, they could vaguely see the grass and crops on both sides of the road retreating rapidly, and the two of them galloped alone on the quiet road.

In addition to the silence and silence around, the temperature in the north dropped quickly at night, as if the cold had blocked the moonlight. Boundless ink smeared heavily on the sky, occasionally obscuring even the glimmer of the stars.

But the sky was not pure black, but a vast deep blue through the gaps in the black clouds, stretching out into the distance, into the distance.

Just like Yuesheng and Yue'e are gone, like two sharp blades inserted into the black clouds, in exchange for a deep blue and bright night sky.

When the sun rose the next day, Yuesheng Yue'e had already crossed the Wei Bridge and came to the north of the Wei Bridge.

The history of Weiqiao is very ancient, because the Qin, Han, Sui, and Tang dynasties successively established their capitals in Xianyang and Chang'an. In order to facilitate the connection between Jingshi and various counties, countries, prefectures, and counties, various dynasties successively built bridges on the Weishui.

"Tang Liudian" said: "The three beams of the wooden pillars in the world are all Weishui: the temporary bridge, the Zhongwei Bridge, and the Dongwei Bridge." ”

The three bridges of the Weihe River are located at the traffic rush, and the Tang Dynasty sent people to strictly guard them. The three bridges usually set up 30 bridge guards, divided into 4 shifts on duty, and the bridge guards are not allowed to leave without permission, so that they can respond to and go to repair at any time in case of danger.

Whenever the water rises, the bridge keeper rushes to the bridgehead to inspect the water situation. The three bridges are also equipped with 8 carpenters, who are also divided into 4 shifts. When the water damage project was large, the guards of the three bridges were concentrated and repaired together with the hired husbands of the county where the bridges were located.

And now in wartime, the Weiqiao is even more important, breaking through the Weiqiao, behind it is the Guanzhong Plain of Pingchuan, there is no danger to defend. Therefore, the imperial court stationed tens of thousands of troops here to guard against enemy raids and sabotage at any time.

Yuesheng and Yue'e crossed the Weiqiao and entered the Turkic territory 200 kilometers ahead, and strictly speaking, the north of the Weiqiao was often harassed by the Turkic cavalry. A little unlucky, you will run into wandering Turkic cavalry.

It is a trivial matter for the common people to be robbed of their property, and often even small lives will be wiped out by these cavalrymen at will. Therefore, the common people living in these areas were all terrified, and always hoped that the imperial court would drive these Turks back to the northern steppe as soon as possible.

Yuesheng and Yue'e had breakfast in a small town, and then they beat their horses and continued to the north. Along the way, the faces were devastated, and none of the peasant households remained, either they had taken refuge in Guanzhong, or they were killed, or they became Turkic captives and were captured to do some despicable things.

Yuesheng and Yue'e felt all this while walking, and the two of them were in a very heavy mood, and secretly decided in their hearts that how to stop the Turkic army from going south, not only for meritorious service, but also for the people of the world.

On this day, the two advanced nearly 100 kilometers, and the endless Gobi and grasslands began to appear in front of them. On both sides of the road, in addition to a few Han Chinese, there were more and more Turkic people, some riding horses, some walking, and some haunted by small groups.

The arrival of the two teenagers, Yuesheng and Yue'e, did not attract too much attention from these people, and those people regarded Yuesheng and Yue'e as children of a family who were traveling.

The farther north they went, the more people reminded them of the two by the roadside, all warning them that there would be a large Turkic army moving south in front of them, telling them not to go any further, otherwise they would be doomed if they ran into each other.

Yuesheng and Yue'e thanked everyone for their kindness, and continued to ride forward for nearly 50 kilometers, and finally trouble came.

The two encountered a group of Turkic vanguard troops, about 10,000 people, and when they saw this group of cavalry, they had a plan in their hearts. The two of them cleaned up and went to the cavalry.

When they reached a distance where the cavalry could spot them, they drank their horses, turned and galloped back. Sure enough, the cavalry found Yuesheng and Yue'e. Immediately, a leader-like person commanded, and a team of 100 people chased after Yuesheng and Yue'e.

After nearly an hour of pursuit, Yuesheng and Yue'e finally fell into the encirclement of this group of Turkic cavalry.

The two drew their weapons and pretended to be nervous as they looked at the surrounding Turkic cavalry.

When the Turkic cavalry arrived at Yuesheng and Yue'e, they shouted and circled around Yuesheng and Yue'e. It seems that Yuesheng and Yue'e have been treated as meat on the board, and they can be handled at will.

One of the people who looked like the leader of the group stood up and shouted at Yuesheng and Yue'e in Chinese. Ask them where they came from and where they are going.

Yuesheng pretended to be nervous and looked at the captain, incoherently reported the name of a northern family, and said that the sister and brother had just learned and came out to travel, the purpose was to feel the great rivers and mountains, and to experience the clouds.

The captain looked at the two young boys and girls, and didn't seem to want to offend the family name that Yuesheng said, but he didn't want to let go of Yuesheng and Yue'e. Then he said to the two:

"You two, leave your horse quickly, riding a horse in front of the army is against the order of our Turkic Great Khan, only we Turks are worthy of riding, you hand over the horse and go back!"

But Yuesheng and Yue'e didn't want to give up their horses at all, so they quarreled with the leader-like man.

When the leader was furious and wanted to make a move, Yuesheng hurriedly raised his hands and expressed his willingness to surrender to the leader, as long as he didn't kill the two sisters and brothers, and after speaking, he took out some ingots from his arms and threw them at the leader.

When the leader saw the huge ingots in his hand, he was overjoyed, and Yuesheng threw out an ingots to the people next to him again, saying to them that this was a tribute to them, and let them go buy wine and drink.

Although these soldiers also robbed houses on weekdays, most of the robberies were from poor families, and they had seen such a huge ingot, so the leader happily agreed to Yuesheng and Yue'e, and let them go back with him, and promised to explain to the leader in person, so that the two sisters and brothers could join their team.

Why is the leader so concerned, it turns out that this leader is greedy for the ingots on Yuesheng and Yue'e, but he doesn't dare to kill Yuesheng and Yue'e in front of so many people and rob things, otherwise, everything he has harvested will have to be handed over, and he will not get a penny.

If Yuesheng and Yue'e are accepted as his subordinates, then Yuesheng and Yue'e belong to him and are his own, and of course the ingots on his body are also his.

In fact, these ingots were prepared for Yuesheng by Li Shimin, the king of Qin, the third highness, in order to let Yuesheng get close to the Turkic army and use them for bribery.

Because the Turks are greedy for money is a well-known thing, the main purpose of the Turks going south is to rob the wealth of the Central Plains, and they don't care about the land of the Central Plains, and even think that the land of the Central Plains is not as good as their steppe.

After Yuesheng had taken care of the leader and the group, he was asked to follow the team back to the main army and meet the big leader.

Yuesheng stepped forward to investigate, only to know that this leader is called Da Da Er, and the big leader who commands more than 10,000 of them is called Abohan, their team is the Tiger Division, and the officers and soldiers of the Tiger Division are all composed of young men from the Great Khan's headquarters, and among all the Turkic armies, the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Division is the strongest. Armament and logistical support are also the best.

The total strength of a tiger division is about 20,000, and the Great Khan has three tiger divisions with a total of more than 60,000 troops, and the tiger division belongs to the direct subordinate troops of the Great Khan, which can be called the trump card troops, and the Tiger Division is also the backing of the Great Khan to ensure his status, after all, the leaders of other subordinate tribes also have troops.
