Chapter 423: A Thousand Miles to Hunt and Kill

Hearing the great victory from Liaodong, Li Zhi's heart was also very happy, and for this reason, he also specially gave a banquet and got drunk with the ministers who stayed in Chang'an. Generally speaking, this kind of drunken behavior will be widely criticized by Confucian scholars such as Kong Yingda, however, Kong Yingda glanced at Li Zhi and said: "This great victory in Liaodong, it is human nature for His Royal Highness to get drunk, and this time the old minister will no longer pursue it!" But not as an example! ”

Li Zhi couldn't help but laugh in his heart when he heard this, as soon as this example was opened, how could he not make an example?

After the banquet, the drunken Li Zhi was about to return to the palace to rest, when he suddenly heard a report from the chamberlain, saying that a steward named Mei Renxing in the investigation institute asked to see him. When the man's name was spoken, the chamberlain couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth and smile slightly.

"Inhuman?" Li Zhi couldn't help but be stunned. After being stunned for a moment, Li Zhi asked the inner attendant to lead Na Mei Renxing into the hall.

"Xiaguan Mei Renxing see His Highness!" Mei Renxing saw Li Zhi and bowed.

When Li Zhi heard this name, he couldn't help but feel a sigh of relief. Positively, Li Zhi asked solemnly: "Eh, this Mei Aiqing, what is the important thing you want to see Lone?" ”

Mei Renxing didn't raise his head: "Please also ask Your Highness to transfer some scouts to the lower officials!" With that, Mei Renxing told what had happened.

It turned out that after Mei Renxing made great contributions in Gaochang, he was transferred to the Chang'an Investigation Institute as Lin Ran's assistant. And Lu Dongzan, who has been under house arrest in Chang'an, is under the care of Mei Renxing's men.

Before Zhang Yunwen set out to conquer Liaodong, he also made people take a good look at Nalu Dongzan, don't let him run away while Chang'an is empty. However, although Zhang Yunwen had instructed him, things still happened. Nalu Dongzan really disappeared into the post house.

When Lin Ran heard the news, he was immediately furious, and sent the spies of Chang'an to turn the entire Chang'an upside down, but he still didn't find anyone, but he got some important information, for example, before the army set out, there were more than a dozen people who claimed to be merchants in Shu with the road guide issued by Songzhou Mansion entered Chang'an, but these people's skin was much darker than that of people in Shu, and they spoke a little awkward in Shu dialect.

Lin Ran said on the spot that these people must have rescued Nalu Dongzan.

The person was lost in the hands of Mei Renxing, and of course Mei Renxing had to be recovered. However, although Mei Renxing has a few rangers in his hands, he is not good at tracking skills. At this time, Mei Renxing thought of the reconnaissance battalion. However, the transfer of this reconnaissance battalion requires Li Shimin's nod, and now Li Shimin is in Liaodong, and the entire Chang'an City is the largest in Li Zhi. So, he plucked up his courage and came to the East Palace, hoping that Li Zhi could send some scouts to him and let him hunt down Nalu Dongzan.

After Li Zhi heard the news, he pondered for a moment, nodded and agreed under Mei Renxing's anxious gaze.

The scouts who are now staying in Chang'an, in addition to the more than 100 people in the recruit training camp, there are also a few people among the guards in the north and south. Mei Renxing took the paperwork and fish talisman issued by Li Zhi, came to the reconnaissance battalion recruit training camp, explained the incident in general, and then took out the command fish talisman to show the captain.

When the captain saw this, he smiled and said, "Lao Tzu is so stuffy here that his bones are itchy, if he has something to do, that's the best!" There is also the old guy in Tubo, the instructor explained that he must watch him, presumably that old guy must be extraordinary, see if I Yang Meng doesn't break the old guy's feet, see if he still can't run! ”

Hearing Yang Meng's words, Mei Renxing couldn't help but smile.

Yang Meng took fifty scouts and set off with Mei Renxing's men.

When guessing Lu Dongzan's escape route, Na Mei Ren said: "I have read the information of this Lu Dongzan in the next place. Judging from the information, this old man surnamed Lu is also a powerful person, thoughtful, thoughtful, and knows how to advance and retreat, and what is even more powerful is that he has no face and no skin, if this person is deliberately hidden, he can even care about identity and reputation at all. So it's quite difficult for me to hunt down. Fortunately, there are not many roads leading from Datang to Tubo, there are probably two roads. One is to return to Tubo through Longxi and Tuyuhun, but to enter Shu and return to Tubo through Jishi Mountain. And those Tubo people who came to Chang'an were the latter road. Now, we will wait and divide into two ways, each chasing to Longyou and Shuzhong! Uh, Captain Yang, you will take some of the men and horses to chase in the direction of Longyou. Remember, if you can't take this person, Lu Dongzan will be killed immediately with a crossbow arrow! ”

Na Yang Meng nodded: "Master Mei rest assured, if you catch up with Na Lu Dongzan in the next, it is best to bring people back, if you can't bring people back, you will definitely bring his head back in the next!" ”

So, Mei Renxing and Yang Meng each took a part of the spies and scouts of the investigation institute and chased them to Shudi and Longyou respectively.

"Hehe, my lord, you choose Shu this time, after all, this Shu land is the place where the adults stayed at the beginning, and you are very familiar with this place!" A subordinate beside Mei Renxing said with a smile.

Mei Renxing said while riding slowly: "It's not all like that! Those Tibetans held the road guide issued by the Songzhou government in their hands. Although I don't know what method they use, but, just in case, it's better for me to go in person, and by the way, I also investigate whether the Songzhou Thorn Shi has received something from others! ”

At this time, in Weizhou, Longyou Province, Nalu Dongzan was sitting on the ground with a henchman with a dirty face and ragged clothes, with a dilapidated rice bowl in front of him. But he was begging in this Weizhou city.

That night, the thirteen warriors sent by Qinling tried their best to get close to the post house where Lu Dongzan lived, and tried their best to use everything to tune the tiger from the mountain, sound the east and attack the west, and finally get Nalu Dongzan out, and put on a Tubo man of his similar stature and put on his clothes, which was a gelding.

After leaving Chang'an City, Lu Dongzan and the remaining twelve people galloped all the way, day and night, and hurried for days, hoping to return to Tubo as soon as possible. However, when they arrived in Qingshui County, Qinzhou, they found that Lu Dongzan's portrait was pasted on all the key passes, and there were soldiers checking the passers-by.

Seeing this situation, Lu Dongzan hated it so much that he finally decided to divide the troops into two ways. He himself took one of his henchmen in disguise and walked through the pass to the west. The rest of the eleven passed through the wilderness.

This time, Lu Dongzan's speed of travel was much slower.

Although he was anxious, he knew that he could not panic at this moment, if he passed through Weizhou, Minzhou, and Taozhou, he could arrive at Tuyuhun, and as long as he entered Tuyuhun, someone would come to meet him. However, he will not forget the hardships of house arrest in the past few years, and if he returns to Tibet, he will definitely take revenge in the future.

Suddenly, Lu Dongzan, who was well versed in Han culture, suddenly remembered Wu Zixu, who also fled from Chu State and came to Wu State like this!

In this way, Lu Dong Zandong hid in Tibet, changed various identities, and went west.

When Lu Dongzan and others passed through Minzhou and arrived in Taozhou, Yang Meng also came to Taozhou with people.

"Brother Yang, is it really not in the wrong direction?" A spy from the Investigation Institute asked, confused.

Yang Meng waved his hand: "How many times have you asked this question?" Didn't Lao Tzu say it? Those Tibetans traveled between the mountains and fields, not only did it be difficult to walk, but they also had to watch out for poisonous insects and beasts, so they would not walk too long in the mountains and fields, and they would eventually return to the road. Also, although those people were leading thirteen horses, Lao Tzu was sure that there were only eleven of them! There were two horses with shallow hoof prints, and there were no people sitting at all. It must have been Lu Dongzan's old boy who secretly took another path with an entourage. If Lao Tzu is Lu Dongzan's old boy, he will definitely enter Tuyuhun as soon as possible. And the closest road to Tuyuhun is the one we just walked. As long as you get out of Taozhou, you will be Tuguhun! ”

Only then did everyone show a sudden realization.

"This is Xicangzhou, once you pass here, it's Tuguhun!" When Yang Meng and the others arrived at a small city, the local soldier who led the way for Yang Meng and them said.

Yang Meng looked at this Xicangzhou, not so much a city, but a pass. Between the two mountains, the city stands, and there is a bit of a tendency that one man is too close to open it.

A gleam flashed in Yang Meng's eyes: "Okay, this is it, let's wait for Nalu Dongzan to come!" ”

"Uh, Brother Yang, if your estimation is wrong, then why don't Lu Dongzan go here?"

"Wait here for ten days, if Nalu Dongzan does not appear, Lao Tzu will chase to Tuyuhun and Tubo!"

Everyone was infected by his pride, and couldn't help but shout in unison: "Good! ”

However, they had no chance to catch up with Tuyuhun and Tubo. Nalu Dongzan really came to Xicangzhou.

When Lu Dongzan, who was dressed in rags and covered with dirt, came to the front of the level, Yang Meng really couldn't recognize it. However, he was deaf and clear-sighted, and faintly heard the sound of the other party's rapid breathing, and immediately stepped forward and asked, "You beggar, where did you come from?" What happened when you entered Tuyuhun? ”

Lu Dongzan stayed in Chang'an for a few years, and said in a voice with a Guanzhong accent: "The villain came from Weinan and went to Tuyuhun to join a relative!" ”

"Oh-" Yang Meng stretched his tone and shouted fiercely, "Take it for me!" ”

He originally wanted to deceive, but Lu Dongzan's entourage was a reckless man with strong martial arts, and when he heard this, he stopped in front of Lu Dongzan without saying a word: "Who dares to move!" ”

Yang Meng was stunned for a moment, he couldn't imagine that he had cheated this way, and he really cheated out a big fish, and laughed at the moment: "Lu Dongzan, do you root us to go back, or let me tie you up?" ”

Lu Dongzan walked out from behind the entourage with a dead heart, and sighed: "I, Lu Dongzan, am also the prime minister of Tubo, the head of the Lu family, how can I allow you to wait for you to be tied back?" But the old man is curious, how did you get to the old man's tracks? ”

Yang Meng said the reason slightly proudly at the moment. After listening to Yang Meng's narration, Lu Dongzan sighed: "The Tang Dynasty is outstanding and talented!" You have such keen thinking and bold decision-making as a school captain, which shows that the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is really a few days! Well, the old man won't go back to Tibet to do those things that reverse the destiny of heaven! However, don't want me to go back to Chang'an! ”

As he spoke, Lu Dongzan suddenly pulled out the dagger at his waist and stabbed it into his chest.

Seeing this, Yang Meng didn't stop it, and looked at this scene coldly.

However, Lu Dongzan's entourage, seeing Lu Dongzan wielding a knife to kill himself, suddenly let out a sad and angry roar, and rushed towards Yang Meng, looking like they were all gone.

However, he was greeted by several flying crossbow arrows.

Lu Dongzan, a wise man of the Tibetan generation, died before he left the school, and when he died, he still stayed in the Tang Dynasty.

Yang Meng caught Lu Dongzan here, and Na Mei Renxing also gained a lot, after verification, they really found that there were a lot of Tubo spies in Nasongzhou City. Not only Songzhou, but also Longzhou, Fuzhou, Dangzhou, Yizhou and other places near Songzhou have also appeared traces of Tibetan spies. And the clues about Lu Dongzan were not found.

Since there was no trace of Nalu Dongzan, he couldn't run in vain when this trip was made, so Mei Renxing mobilized the spies of the entire Shu Prefecture Investigation Institute to conduct a large-scale operation in several states bordering Tubo, and arrested a total of more than 100 Tubo spies. They not only have the Lu family, but also other forces on the plateau.

After re-arranging in Shudi, Mei Renxing returned to Chang'an.

Regarding the plot of this Lu Dongzan, I originally wanted to write two chapters, but after thinking about it, in order not to affect the plot of Liaodong, I forgot to synthesize one chapter. So now it seems a little simple!
