Chapter 68: Hesitation

After hesitating again and again, he decided not to inform the Tibetan officials in the camp about the matter for the time being, because it was not clear who was coming and what was their purpose?

Of course, family is also a very important factor in other people's hands.

Setting the time at noon, it was not that he walked slowly, but that he was not so free in the barracks, and if he wanted to leave without attracting attention, he needed a good reason, there was something at home, and his daughter came to him, which was a ready-made reason, but he still finished the morning drill before opening his mouth to the officer.

He is the leader of a hundred-man team, and his subordinates are all Buru locals, of which 20% are from this village, and the rest are also from nearby villages.

After leaving the camp, Du Guli didn't bring anyone, only with his daughter, strode back, and soon arrived at the agreed place.

It was a grassy hill, the slope of which was covered with green pastures, which, after a few months of growth, had grown beyond the calves, and in which there were many small animals such as hares, rats, and the like that had not yet grown, and they fled in all directions, and by the movement of these animals, they stood still with their feet, and suddenly let out a cry.

"Friends from afar, since you have arrived, please show up."

Liu Ji knew that Xingzang was exposed, so he didn't hurry, and stood up from the grass, since the other party dared to come alone, what was he afraid of.

Looking at the man who was walking towards him step by step, he couldn't help but feel wary and dragged his daughter behind him.

"Abba, it's him who captured the whole village." The girl hid behind him and whispered with fear in her eyes.

About five steps away, Liu Ji stopped and asked in Bolu dialect, "Are you looking for me?" ”

"What do you want?"

He didn't ask where they came from, and he didn't ask where they went, he was straightforward, straight to the point, and rushed to this stability, Liu Ji understood that this was a leader.

"Tell me first, how many people are guarding the bridge?"

Listening to Liu Ji's question, his face sank, and he quietly moved a step on his feet, covering his daughter behind him tightly.

"You are...... Don? ”

Liu Ji nodded, affirming his guess, asking this is to see the other party's reaction, the bandits will not care how many defenders there are on Fujiqiao, and only Tang is the real threat.

He looked at him for a while, and there was some surprise in his tone: "This is the fur of the snow wolf, you came from the ice field, it is a big wolf pack, have you killed them all?" ”

Liu Ji was stunned for a moment, and looked down, he was indeed wearing a snow wolf skin, because the leather robe had been worn for too long, and it was full of blood, so he had to change it.

"I didn't kill them all, there are still twenty or thirty."

Dou Guli couldn't help but take a breath, his daughter told him that there would be no more than fifty outsiders in the village, and they could actually kill nearly two hundred big wolves, which made him hesitate for a moment.

He believed that the other party would not deceive, because the wolf pack has always been the invincible place on the ice field, and anyone who wants to come from that side will definitely not be able to escape, if it were not for the hindrance of the wolf pack, they would not be able to hunt enough prey, how could they come out to work for the Tubo people.

But if the Tang people were stronger than the Tubo people, wouldn't they be the first to die?

Obviously, this young Tang man is waiting for his choice, compared to these soldiers in the army, the women and children in the village are only afraid of dying faster, as a hunter, he has long been accustomed to seeing the cruelty of nature, how can he not understand such a simple truth?

"These days, the Tubo people have been conscripting soldiers, and in the nearby villages, adult men have been pulled, and those who don't go will be taxed heavily, and if they don't want to break their homes, they can only go to guard the bridge, and there are 1,000 people in my battalion, and there are two battalions of people before and after, all of whom are locals, and the officers who lead the troops are Tubo."

This is three thousand people, Liu Ji's face remained unchanged, waiting for him to continue.

Seeing that he was very calm, he did not hesitate: "I heard that the Tubo people have transferred a lot of soldiers and horses from He Bolao City, I don't know how many of them, all of them are cavalry, and the leader is a big official, even the commander of our battalion must be respectful. ”

"Have you seen the man in the lead?"

"I took a look at it from a distance, I didn't have a beard, I should be very young, I don't pay much attention to people in the corners of my eyes, and the Tubo people are stuck at the other end, a mile away from us."

That's right, this person must be Xi Dongzan, his cavalry should be about 3,000 people, but Liu Ji's heart is not the bottom, if Xi Dongzan's entire army is here, then the city of He Bolao, which is about a hundred miles away, is not empty?

This is extremely unusual, Liu Ji pondered for a moment, he was thinking about Zeng Jiuniang's words, if Xi Dongzan had the intention to deceive, then he would not give her the exact news, the Tubo people may not have no back-up moves, and their team, in addition to the idea of fighting Fujiqiao, also had to figure out the true intentions of the Tubo people.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, he had to endure it again and again, and several times he wanted to make a move, take down this young Tang man, and use it to force them to make friends, but every time he saw the snow wolf skin on the other party's body, he didn't have the slightest certainty.

In the torment, he still couldn't help but open his mouth: "What do you want?" ”

"Fujibashi's garrison, are you in charge of it in turn?"

Liu Ji's words surprised him, he had obviously told them that there were thousands of people guarding the bridge, and they still had the idea of fighting Fujiqiao, isn't this looking for death.

"It's useless for you to occupy the bridge, the treads on the bridge have been removed, and now there are a few rattan ropes, erected on the river."

"Oh?" Liu Ji didn't show much surprise, if Fujihashi was still good, it would be a strange thing.

"On the bracket at the head of the bridge, the Tubo people ordered people to pour fire oil, once something is wrong, we will set fire to the bridge, this rattan bridge is simply a trap, you still don't want to fight its idea."

How can you not fight its idea, if the Tubo people want to destroy the bridge, how can they be so troublesome, it doesn't matter what the idea is, as long as the other party is still lucky, then there will definitely be a loophole to exploit, Liu Ji didn't say anything, a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Your village, I have to live for a few days, these days, if you are not at ease, you can come back to have a look, but if the Tubo people know, we will not guarantee the safety of those women and children in the village, you can understand this meaning."

Dou Guli didn t make any moves, how did he not know the meaning here, Tang Ren'an was close to his relatives, and before leaving, he seemed to have a very vague question, and he didn't vomit or be unhappy.

"You look very familiar, don't you ......" Liu Ji's confident smile made him have a flash of inspiration in his mind: "On that day, two Tang scouts rushed across the bridge, are you there?" ”

"Yes, there are 10,000 Tang people like me, and the defeat of the Tubo people is doomed.

It seems that that day left a deep impression on them, Liu Ji recognized it without hesitation, and there was not much threat in his words, but it gave the other party a heavy pressure.

Until he left, he didn't get the answer he wanted, his daughter was left by him, anyway, one is a quality, and the other is also a quality, there is no difference, and when he walked away, Liu Ji made a gesture, and the little girl who stayed behind was surprised to find that no less than ten people came out of the grass, just forming a circle.

"Kang Laosi, have you ever been to He Bolao City?" Liu Ji called him aside and asked.

Kang Laosi shook his head: "I haven't been there, but my subordinates can find it." ”

"Take a trip immediately, there is a Shijia foot horse shop in the city, you find Shi Langjun and ask for some news, just say that it is for you to go."

Kang Laosi left in response, his appearance, there was no problem in pretending to be a Sogdian merchant, and he knew the Bolu language, so he was the best person for this trip.
