Chapter 535: Lu Da Bandits Are Coming!

At the foot of an unnamed mountain, gravel and sparse pastures are sparse, and thousands of horses compete for limited food.

"Damn the Hui! That's what they allotted to our ranch? ”

Li Huaitang pulled up an emerald green alfalfa plant, and his anger was on his face. Although everything was expected, in the face of the difficulties of the Hui people everywhere, it was polite not to greet his ancestors.

Feng Changqing followed behind Li Huaitang, anger was also the main tone on his face, and there was a hint of guilt mixed with it. He was in charge of dealing with the Uighurs, but was plotted against him, and not only did he not receive food, but he was also sent a large barren meadow by them.

The heart of the Hui people, everyone knows it! They were just trying to weaken the strength of Ning Yuan's iron cavalry as much as possible.

Li Huaitang clenched his fists, and his joints gurgled.

Fortunately, the pack horses and camels that came with the army carried a large amount of jerky and bean cakes, and a large number of cattle and sheep that were harvested when passing through the territory of the Qarluqs, which could last for several days.

The jerky is equipped with enough for forty days of consumption, not enough to slaughter pack horses and camels to replenish, the only trouble is the rations of the war horses, the war horses, especially the sweaty horses, have an amazing amount of food, and the long journey consumes more, and the remaining bean cake is only enough for five days, if the grass is insufficient, I am afraid that the three days will be exhausted.

On the plains, speed is king, and a weak horse means that the pace of death is approaching.

Feng Changqing said angrily: "The Hui people are trying to force us to fight a bloody battle with the Khitans immediately, if we resist, we can only wait to die and be starved to death, and if we obey, the result will not be much better." ”

After marching for thousands of miles in a row, people lost flesh, horses lost horses, and the combat effectiveness of Ningyuan's iron cavalry was greatly reduced.

"Let's just go grab them!" Feng Changqing was born to the side of the guts, and gave the most suitable advice from his point of view.

The Hui people went south from the Tianshan Mountains, driving countless cattle and sheep for several days, and they were also tired. Feng Changqing had been to the camp of the Hui Coalition Army, had seen their loose military discipline, and thought that the success rate of attacking them was higher.

The rest of the soldiers also agreed, but Bai Xiaode remained silent.

Li Huaitang patted Feng Changqing's one-arm and gave a thumbs up: "There is a kind!" However," he said, a hint of mystery and a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth, "You don't have to deal with the Hui people, you just need to treat them in the way of others!" ”

Feng Changqing was stunned for a moment, his thinking was in the blur between understanding and confusion, as if he could catch something, and he was a little confused.

"Could it be that the general plans to unite with the Khitans to deal with the Hui people?" Feng Changqing looked at Li Huaitang in surprise.

Li Huaitang seemed to smile and said, "Don't worry, you will naturally understand then." Go, since they want us to go south, then we will do as they wish! ”

"South, south?!" The soldiers were stunned and looked at each other.

Zhang Qiu said anxiously: "General, no!" We must not fall for the tricks of the Hui people! ”

Li Huaitang laughed, finished laughing, looked up at the blue sky, and seemed to say to himself: "The white jade claw will bring us distinguished guests." ”

No one could understand what Li Huaitang meant, but they were sure that their general was confident and confident.

The army slowly moved south, and only traveled more than 100 miles in two days. Within two days, most of the bean cakes carried by Ning Yuan's iron cavalry turned into dung again, and the horse food was in a hurry, and the soldiers were worried about it.

However, their main general does not seem to be worried, and his calm expression indicates that there is a way out ahead!

Sure enough, the prophecy came true, and the white jade claw really brought a distinguished guest, an armed group of horse bandits composed of more than a thousand people.

The horse bandits arrived, and the soldiers were like a great enemy. These bandits wore a Khitan hairstyle, or the middle Mediterranean, cut off on all sides, with two locks of long hair hanging down to the side of their ears; Or simply shave most of it, leaving only a small lock of long hair on each side of the forehead, some braided into braids, and some naturally drooping. Either way, it's distinctive, recognizable, and memorable.

The battle did not start, and in Li Huaitang's laughter, the Khitan horse bandits were embarrassed to dismount and salute.

"The one who sells the cake is the Lu Dama bandit!" Tu Buyeol exclaimed in Li Huaitang's tone, rubbing his eyes exaggeratedly with one hand, as if he didn't quite believe the scene in front of him.

"Haha, I'm laughing to death, this is Lao Lu?"

"Beard? Where's your beard? ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

Lu Shangqing looked at the sky 45 degrees with a face of shame and indignation, but his beard was unscrupulous, giggling, the Khitan people are used to not keeping a beard, he can only follow the local customs, and shave to become a "pseudo-beard".

Everyone laughed, Li Huaitang was angry, and shouted: "If there is any other person who makes fun of him, he will follow Lu Shangqing as a horse bandit!" ”

Quiet, under the suffocated blushing face, there was an eerie silence.

The weather has been clear these days, and the white jade claws soaring in the sky are eye-catching, which is undoubtedly Lu Shangqing's indicator light.

The soldiers understood that the general ordered a slow march in order to facilitate the Lu Da bandits to come to the door. Seeing Lu Shangqing and hundreds of carts of hundreds of thousands of catties of bean cakes behind him, the soldiers were relieved, and before the war horses recovered their state, grain and grass were finally no longer a problem.

Lu Shangqing also brought a self-made map.

The map covers the trend of nearby mountains and rivers, and the water ripples, which is a must-have for military conquests; The bean cake he has stocked up on for most of the past six months. Last year, he received an order from the general to move his army to the vicinity of the Khitan territory, buying grain and grass on a large scale, and waiting for the arrival of the army. Among the orders, there is also a non-negotiable one, that is, all Khitanization, including hairstyles!

Li Huaitang was very satisfied, and Lu Shangqing carried out his intention without discount. Khitan is not only to hide people's eyes, but more importantly, they need to use this identity to carry out an important task.

The task is very mysterious, except for Lu Shangqing and Hu Zi, only Li Huaitang and Bai Xiaode know.

The Lu Da bandits came and went in a hurry, quietly left, and took advantage of the night to go north......

As time passed, Guli Peiluo couldn't sit still, and Ning Yuan's reaction was very different from what he expected. In the first two days, Ning Yuan's iron cavalry seemed to be obedient and marched more than 100 miles south, however, in the next few days, they inexplicably stood still, as if they were going to be stationed there permanently.

Could it be that their war horses have become immortals? Can you run without eating? Or do they have other plans?

Unknown, terrifying because of the veil of mystery. The abnormality of Ning Yuan's iron cavalry caused uneasiness among the chieftains of the coalition forces, and the rabbit would bite people if they were forced to hurry, not to mention the powerful Ning Yuan iron cavalry? In their opinion, Ning Yuan Tieqi is mostly doing the final recuperation, and the target is very likely to be them! In order to maintain a sense of oppression, they followed suit, always following behind Ning Yuantie's cavalry, the distance was only fifty miles, and if the other party wanted to sneak attack, they could reach it in an instant.
