Chapter 279: The Skeleton Army Emerges
Xiao Shizi smiled, leaned over to Wu San's side and said, "Big boss, we knew yesterday that the three captains took the wrong road, why don't we remind them?" β
Wu San knocked on the door of Xiao Shizi's head and said, "Who made them stupid and couldn't tell that the military order was given to them by the enemy." Okay, tell to go down, prepare to cook meat, let the big guy eat a hot meal, drink some hot soup, this weather is getting colder and colder. β
After the water in the iron pot boiled, the dozen yellow sheep shot along the way were skillfully cleaned by everyone, cut into pieces, thrown into boiling water, and sprinkled with a handful of salt, which was the best food. In the wasteland, salt is expensive. Many horse thieves often eat meat without salt.
"After eating, we copied it from the east, left a marching route for the three stupid boys Li Xiang, Su Changqing, and Jiang Mulang, and continued to follow the army."
The order was passed down, and the two thousand horse thieves quickly agreed, and they quickened the pace of eating.

It wasn't until the evening that a scout found a big arrow on a large rock in the southwest direction, and the arrow was preceded by the three big characters 'Tuyuhun'.
Jiang Mulang, Su Changqing, and Li Xiang got the scout's report and rushed over as quickly as possible.
"Did the general send someone to help us?" Li Xiang scratched his head and asked Su Changqing, because this way of pointing the way was completely the style of their previous training in Gaotai City, and when they set up marching routes or training grounds in Gaotai City in the past, Wang Junlin marked the direction in this way.
"I don't know if it's someone sent by the general, at least it's not a trick of the Tuyuhun people! Move away from the big rocks! Su Changqing looked at the big stone for a while, shook his head and chuckled lightly before giving an order.
Several soldiers worked together to push away the large stone, and everyone found that there was indeed a yellow parchment roll under the stone.
When the parchment is opened, a simple map is drawn on it, with a marked route on it, which is densely marked with very characteristic topography, but the text on it is not in Chinese characters.
"Let's see, it's true!"
Su Changqing glanced at the parchment roll and handed it to Jiang Mulang.
Jiang Mulang took the parchment roll, and looked around, there was a not high mound in the west, and the windward side of the mound was covered with ravines, and the top of the ravines was full of steamed bun-shaped red sandstone pillars that were very easy to identify.
Yesterday I didn't go in the direction of the mound, but a little to the east......
Jiang Mulang looked at it for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: "You should go in the direction of Mantou Mountain, this map is real." β
Su Changqing smiled: "Naturally, it's true!" β
Li Xiang's eyes widened and said, "How do you know?" β
Su Changqing waved his hand to let the soldiers retreat a hundred steps away, then sighed, took the parchment scroll, pointed to a skull painted on the back of the parchment scroll, and said with a smile: "The mark of the skeleton army, it should be the three martial artists who have arrived in person." β
Li Xiang, Jiang Mulang carefully looked at the imprints, and then stopped talking, they naturally knew about Wu San, but this was the top secret of Gaotai City, and they didn't know many things very well.
"The three people of Wu San should be nearby, but the existence of the Skeleton Army is the top secret of our Gaotai City, and the three of us are qualified to know, but the others don't have this qualification yet, so the three people of Wu San can only show us the way in this way."

Xue Yantuo is the most powerful tribe in the Tiele tribes, composed of two tribes of Xue and Yantuo, and is divided into more than 100 tribes of all sizes, with a force of 100,000 people, nomadic between Jinshan and Yudu Jin Mountain, which can be said to be the east. One of the largest tribes under the command of the Turks, the great chief of Xue Yantuo, Yi Lost Bowl, was ambitious and always wanted to replace the Qiming Khan.
A few days ago, a sudden cold wave hit Jinshan, and the snowstorm raged for several days and nights, causing Xue Yantuo's cattle and sheep to freeze to death millions of heads, and suffered heavy losses.
Regarding the fact that Qiming Khan sent a small number of silver wolf kings to ride to Yongzhou of the Sui Dynasty and suffered a big loss, Yi Lost Bowl also heard about it, and also guessed Qiming Khan's intention to let people go south, but this was not at all concerned with Yi Lost Bowl. After all, compared to the Western Turkic tribes in the west, who were not much richer than them, he preferred to rob the wealthy Sui Dynasty people. The Turkic Khanate formed an alliance with the Sui Dynasty, and the Qiming Khan also had strict orders to the following tribes, and Yi Lost Bowl did not want to violate the orders of the Qiming Khan before accumulating enough power, so he did not pay attention to the Sui people, and now that the Qiming Khan took the initiative to order them to go south to plunder the Sui people, how could Yi Lost Bowl be polite.
Therefore, after receiving the order, Yi Lost Bowl immediately ordered most of the tribes to move south to the Yinshan area, which was already approaching the border of Yongzhou in the Sui Dynasty. At this time, the army sent back by Wang Junlin had returned to the various military villages, and according to Wang Junlin's instructions, scouts were sent north to investigate, and the news of the southward movement of the Turkic Tiele tribes was discovered in time.
Shifeng Village is located in the northernmost Xifeng County of Zhangye County, since last year, the Sui army defeated the Western Turks and Tuyuhun, after the recovery of Zhangye County, from the end of last year to the present, the Sui Dynasty began to migrate to Zhangye and Xiping counties in a planned way, of which Xifeng County moved more than 1,000 Han families from the Guannei prefectures in this year.
These Han people mainly live in the plain between Xifeng County and Shifeng Village, where there are several rivers and easy to cultivate fertile land, so over the past year, more than a dozen villages of all sizes have been formed according to their families.
The primary target of the Yishi bowl people was placed in Xifeng County, and if they wanted to enter Xifeng County, it would be difficult to avoid Shifeng Village, a border military village.
Shifengzhai was originally guarded by a captain, but because he was Li Fengyun's henchman, he was ordered to lead most of Shifengzhai's troops to participate in the murder of Wang Junlin a few days ago, so he was killed by Wang Junlin in Yedonkey Gou, and now Shifengzhai is the commander Niu Jinda appointed by Wang Junlin.
Niu Jinda was born in the green forest, and he had never led soldiers before, so he followed Wang Junlin in the past few months, was deliberately instructed by the latter, and learned a lot from Zhanpeng and others, and the only big battle he experienced was the one with Shangguan Hu and his three thousand thieves on the road.
That's all, it stands to reason that it is not enough to serve as a captain, but on the one hand, Wang Junlin has no one in his hands for the time being, and on the other hand, it is because Wang Junlin knows that Niu Jinda will be the founding general of the Tang Dynasty in the original history, and he definitely has extraordinary talent in commanding troops and fighting.
PS: The second one will be sent, and the third one will be a little laterββββ
