"To Xiangcheng? Don't go! Cheng Chumo shook his head violently and refused. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Why" Wu Yuanqing didn't expect Cheng Chumo to refuse so simply.

"Uncle Wei Chi let you and me stay in Shuofang when he left, what kind of trust is this for me, how can we live up to his trust, throw Shuofang and run to Dingxiang? Don't say anything, don't go," Cheng Chumo continued to shake his head.

Cheng Chumo didn't know why Wu Yuanqing wanted to go to Dingxiang, and he didn't want to know, he only knew that the order given by Wei Chigong when he left was to stick to Shuofang and protect the grain and grass in the city.

Cheng Chumo had never heard the phrase that soldiers regard obedience to orders as their duty, but he still knew that military orders were like mountains. Therefore, although he had a good relationship with Wu Yuanqing, although Wu Yuanqing was already the highest official in Shuofang City at this time, he still firmly carried out the order given by Wei Chigong, that is, to stick to Shuofang and not leave an inch.

No matter how much Wu Yuanqing tried to lobby, Cheng Chumo shook his head resolutely, and in the end Wu Yuanqing had no choice but to give up.

But Dingxiang Wu Yuanqing had to go, because he had promised Xiao Yu to ensure the safety of Empress Xiao, and if he stayed in Chang'an, it would be okay, but since he came to Shuofang, it was a day's journey away from Dingxiang, and it was impossible for him to ignore it.

After all, he owed Xiao Yu a great favor at the beginning, and the debt of favor was the most difficult to owe. Besides, Wu Yuanqing is another person who owes others and is uncomfortable if he doesn't pay it back in time.

However, before going to Dingxiang, Wu Yuanqing also had to arrange his own caravan.

Some time ago, two caravans had already left Shuofang, all the way to the west of the Jinhe Road where Chai Shao was located, and all the way to the direction of Yunzhong, they would follow Li Ji all the way to pick up the rags and make a fortune.

And behind Wei Chigong's army that left the city to respond to Li Ji, he also followed a caravan.

In this way, the caravan has been eliminated from all four, and the remaining team must follow behind the army in the middle.

"Lao Hu, listen, I will go to Dingxiang in two days, and then, this is disobeying the military order, so I have to act secretly, during the time I go to Dingxiang, you will be fully responsible for the affairs of the caravan, and don't make anything happen. When the time comes, after General Manager Li defeats Xiangcheng, you will leave Shuofang and rush to Xiangcheng, do you know" Wu Yuanqing called Steward Hu and instructed in the room.

Listening to the solemn instructions of the eldest young master, Steward Hu smiled bitterly, he was a hundred horsemen who were planted in the eyes of the martial artist, and this martial artist didn't know.

But this eldest young master is good, he knows his identity and tells himself about disobeying military orders, and he has to keep his own secrets, should he say that he has a big heart, or a big heart.

Steward Hu was entangled in his heart whether to tell his superiors, but Wu Yuanqing was not worried about this, now that he was far away in Shuofang, even if he wanted to tell the emperor, it would take some time, and besides, he didn't plan to hide it from the emperor, and he couldn't hide it.

And he didn't think it was a big deal for him to disobey the military order, and it wasn't a big deal, he just needed to leave Shuofang, and Shuofang didn't have to defend it.

The reason why he acted secretly was just that he was afraid that the news would reach the ears of Li Jing in Mayi, which would disrupt his plans.

Because he was preparing to follow Li Jing's raid on the ass of the army in Xiangcheng, if Li Jing knew, then he would definitely not want to leave Shuofang.

After arranging everything, Wu Yuanqing began to prepare secretly.

When the time crossed Chinese New Year's Eve, the Spring Festival, and the fifth day of the first lunar month, news came from the Mayi side that Li Jing had led 3,000 soldiers and horses into the Evil Yang Ridge.

Wu Yuanqing knew that the time for Li Jing to launch a surprise attack was approaching, so he also quietly led a dozen of them out of Shuofang City.

The soldiers guarding the city thought that he was going to Mayi, but only Cheng Chumo knew in his heart that this guy was going to hang the tail of Li Jing's army.

Wu Yuanqing and his entourage are very well prepared, one person and two horses, in addition to one horse, the other is used to carry things.

In addition to all kinds of instant food, all the rest were tents, fur mattresses, pots and bowls, stoves, charcoal and other heating items.

Only Wu Yuanqing's other horse was a little more special, he didn't carry these things, but carried the treasure box that Wang Ziyu asked Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to send when he left Chang'an.

Those who know that this is a trip to do business, and those who don't know think that they are interested in going to the field to enjoy the snow and winter travel.

Wu Yuanqing only knew that Li Jing would set off from Evil Yang Ridge to attack Xiangcheng at night, but he didn't know the specific time, so he could only wait in advance. Evil Yang Ridge is not a city, even if it is a city, he doesn't have the courage to enter it, and he is afraid that Li Jing will find out.

Then he can only hide far away in the wilderness. At this time, the weather is freezing, minus 20 degrees, if you don't have enough clothes and heating equipment, not to mention that you may hide for a long time, you may not be able to resist it all night and freeze.

The group stopped after coming to a place more than ten miles away from the Evil Yang Ridge, this distance is not far or close, no matter how close, it may be discovered by Li Jing's subordinate tanma, and no matter how far away, it is not good to observe the dynamics of Li Jing's army at all times.

And the distance of fifteen or sixteen miles is just within the line of sight of the telescope.

One of the advantages of the grassland is that it is flat, even if the current range is not considered a grassland, but it is also very flat, and Li Jing is stationed on the Evil Yang Ridge, probably afraid that the fire will be seen by the Turks in Xiangcheng, so he deliberately chose to camp on this side of the ridge near the bottom of the slope.

However, even if it is under the slope, it can be regarded as high, Wu Yuanqing's position is below, and Li Jing's camp looking at the slope from the bottom does not have any debris to block the view.

Looking at the faintly extinguished firelight more than ten miles away from the telescope, as well as the faint and small figures that appeared from time to time that were reflected by the firelight, Wu Yuanqing nodded with satisfaction.

He has no intention of calculating, and he can monitor the dynamics of Li Jing's army at all times, but Li Jing didn't know that he would appear here, so even if he was looking forward to the telescope, it was unlikely that he would be idle and bored to look around, so as to find himself, but he still had to be careful.

"Dynasty, you lead them to camp over there" Wu Yuanqing pointed to a place about a hundred meters to the left and said, there happened to be four or five big trees gathered together, and the surrounding wild grass was also quite high, if you set up a tent there, it would be more able to block the view that might come from the Evil Sun Ridge.

"Okay, young master," Wang Chao agreed.

"Young master, when did you say that Manager Li will be dispatched, shouldn't you have to wait for ten days and half a month?" asked Ma Han angrily while unloading his things from his horse.

"Why, this is just here, you can't stay any longer, if you don't want to stay, just say, I approve you to go back to Shuofang" Wu Yuanqing said angrily.

"Hehe, where do I dare," Ma Han smiled innocently.

"Don't dare to talk so much nonsense, get it right, hurry up and watch it for the young master, I want to pee when I'm frozen."
