Chapter 431: Safe Return
After everything was explained, the black-armored general still chose to give way.
Although he was unwilling to watch so many horses leave Tibet, thinking that the other party was from the green forest, it was likely that he would be armed with more powerful bandit forces with these horses, and they would be able to pose a greater threat to the Tang army at that time.
They are equivalent to their allies!
In the eyes of General Zao Heijia, if these Tang people in front of them are heroes of the green forest, then the stronger they are, the greater the threat to the Tang army, and when the time comes, they will be able to cause greater containment to the Tang army, then their Tubo army will naturally be easier.
After the black armor general gave way sideways, those Tubo soldiers also took a few steps back and let Zhang Yi and the others go.
Zhang Yi arched his hand to the black-armored general, and then to the Tubo soldiers around him, and then ordered the team to continue to drive the horse team forward.
Sahazhuo did not go back, but chose to continue to follow Zhang Yi and them forward for a distance, although there was a border between the two countries in front, but there was no garrison on the Datang side, so he was not worried.
It wasn't until the Tibetan defenders behind him were completely out of sight that Zhang Yi and the others reined in their horses.
"Thank you, Lord Sahadro, for escorting us out, we'll see you in a month!"
Zhang Yi arched his hand towards Sahazhuo, and now it was time for him to go back.
Sahazhuo didn't ink, and arched his hand towards Zhang Yi and the others in the same way and said: "There will be a period later, and in a month, I will send someone here to meet you, and when the time comes, you will have a lot less trouble with my people!" ”
After Sahadro finished speaking, he directly reined in the horse's head and led his men to gallop in the direction of Qingtang.
As soon as Sahazhuo and the others left, Zhang Yi and the others also glanced at each other, and immediately drove the two thousand good horses to gallop.
They must rush back as soon as possible, otherwise, who knows that those Tibetan defenders will not change their minds halfway, and if those Tibetan defenders do, Sahazhuo will no longer be present at that time, and those Tibetan defenders can loot their horses unscrupulously.
After all, during this period of time, there were many things that the Tibetan army did to kill people and sell goods.
After running wildly for a quarter of an hour, billowing smoke and dust appeared in front of Zhang Yi and the others.
However, Zhang Yi and the others were not worried, and when they saw the billowing smoke, each of them had a relieved smile on their faces.
After worrying about it for so long, I can finally put my mind at ease!
And soon after, a large number of cavalry appeared under that puff of smoke, and those cavalry were not Tubo cavalry, nor other foreign cavalry, but the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty!
Last night, when Zhang Yi handed over the green salt to Sahazhuo, he sent three groups of people to report to the territory of Datang and asked them to send troops to the border to respond.
And at this sensitive moment, it is impossible for the Tang Dynasty's army to reach the most border to meet them, they can only wait at this place twenty miles away from the border at most, and once their scouts find Zhang Yi and the others, they will immediately rush over.
The generals of the Tang Army led by him saw the two thousand good horses behind Zhang Yi and others, and nodded their heads in appreciation of the behavior of Zhang Yi and others.
They didn't know Li Er's plan for economic warfare, they only knew that these guys were from Chang'an, and they also had orders to carry out some operations against Tibet, and the order they received was to fully cooperate with these people's actions.
But now in the eyes of these Tang Dynasty generals, they will not think of the word economic warfare, what they can think of is that Zhang Yi and others bought a large number of good horses from Tubo to enrich the strength of the Tang army, so that the Tang army will be more powerful, and when the time is ripe, the powerful Tang army can carry out a strong counterattack against Tubo!
This is also what Zhang Yi and the others are doing now, at least it shows that this is the case!
And now seeing the two thousand good horses that Zhang Yi and the others brought back, these people guessed that Zhang Yi's first step in their action had been successful.
Although these two thousand horses cannot be immediately turned into war horses to improve the combat effectiveness of the Tang army, as long as they are slightly adjusted, they can become good war horses.
Two thousand war horses, this is a lot of money, and this is only their first action, if they can do a few such actions, then for the Tang Dynasty's army, especially the cavalry troops, it will be a big leap, whether it is quality or quantity, it can be greatly improved.
"Okay, let's go back, it's not too late to talk about it after we return to the barracks, if we are seen by the Tibetan spies who are chasing after us, then we won't be able to go through this road in the future."
Zhang Yi said and directly handed over the two thousand good horses to these Tang troops.
After the handover was completed, Zhang Yi took Yue Shiyi and the others to follow the path that Li Yan had pointed out to him before, while those Tang troops followed the main road and returned.
They didn't dare to walk together, for fear of being discovered by the surrounding Tibetan spies, so they deliberately pretended to be panicked when they left, and fled immediately after leaving their horses.
All the way!
Zhang Yi and the others ran for hundreds of miles, until they returned to their previous base camp before stopping.
Back at the camp, Zhang Yi jumped off the horse, moved his sore muscles and bones, and then let everyone rest.
Although it was only a few days, they could only sleep for two or three hours a day in these few days, and they had to maintain a high level of vigilance all the time, so it was only a few days, but everyone was almost exhausted and paralyzed.
"Rest well, everyone, for the next three days, we don't have to do anything, just stay in the camp and rest!"
Zhang Yi ordered to go down, and everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
is the so-called combination of work and rest, one relaxation can last, and if you have maintained a high level of mental concentration and cannot relax, that person will collapse, so Zhang Yi directly asked these people to rest for three days, and only after resting did he start to implement the next plan.
"Sahadro and they need a little time to digest that batch of green salt, so let's just let everyone rest for a while, and then they can be energetic to carry out the next task."
Zhang Yi smiled and explained to Xu Jingzong behind him that he was reckless just now, but this team was jointly commanded by him and Xu Jingzong, and he shouldn't give orders alone.
Xu Jingzong smiled and didn't speak, he didn't object to Zhang Yi's approach, on the contrary, now he thinks that Zhang Yi can be completely independent.
In fact, Zhang Yi is doing a lot of things in the past few days, he just watched quietly from the back, he believes that Zhang Yi can do a good job, and his role is only to occasionally check and fill in the gaps.
The economic war was originally proposed by Zhang Yi, and Zhang Yi is a natural businessman, in the current era, no one's consciousness can compare with him, so Xu Jingzong does not think that he can do better than Zhang Yi.
