Chapter 419: Let the Tubo people open the way for us

After lunch, everyone immediately cleaned up and continued on their way.

But before he could go, the scout in front hurried over to report the news.

"Zhang Da... Brother Zhang, I found a group of Tibetan soldiers in front of me, and now they are coming in our direction, the number is about a hundred, most of them are cavalry. ”

Since Zhang Yi, Yue Shiyi and the others were at the forefront on horseback, the scout rushed back from the front to report to Zhang Yi first.

Li Yan said in a deep voice: "A hundred people, most of them are cavalry, such a troop is definitely elite in the Tubo army." ”

Although there are many horse farms in Tibet, and their cavalry is also quite numerous, most of the elite level of the army at this time is determined by how many war horses this team has.

Moreover, it is very likely that in this vicinity, not only this Tibetan army, but even more terrifyingly, there is a high probability that there will be a large number of Tibetan troops in this vicinity.

If they really let them meet, then they will be unfavorable, but now if they turn back, they can still catch up, after all, these goods are not much, dozens of trucks of salt, they work hard to catch up, and they can go back completely.

Zhang Yi frowned, but he had no intention of going back.

"Everyone rest in place, the salt cart is pulled to the back of the hillside and hidden, Wang Wu, you take a few people with me to have a look."

Wang Wu soon took a few sturdy men and followed Zhang Yiyue 11 to run forward.

In fact, Zhang Yi, a hundred Tibetan cavalrymen, is not afraid, and these people he brought are also warriors of a hundred battles, and they can definitely beat this team of Tibetan soldiers down, and he personally has the protection of the eleventh day of the month, and his safety is also guaranteed.

What he feared was that if there were other Tibetan troops around, that would be the most troublesome.

And if he clashed with this group of Tibetan soldiers, even if he could defeat them, he still had to go to Qingtang to do business with the Tubo people.

But no matter what, let's go and see it first, if those Tubo people have to conflict with them, then they have to kill them, after all, this is the land of the Tang Dynasty!

The seven or eight horsemen quietly touched a small hillside, and a few miles away, a group of Tubo cavalry was slowly walking in the direction of Zhang Yi's caravan.

"Judging by the way they look, they must have been looted once, and everyone's pockets are almost full, otherwise they wouldn't be so slow."

Li Yan also came with Zhang Yi, he was still more responsible, although it was dangerous to follow Zhang Yi to the front to investigate the situation, but he knew the most here, so he naturally followed him regardless of the danger.

"That means it's likely that these cavalrymen won't go any further and then go back?"

Zhang Yi asked Li Yan tentatively, if this was the case, then they wouldn't have to worry so much.

"Theoretically, it's like this, generally when they come out to fight the autumn wind, they can get a certain amount of things and return, although we don't know how many things they hit now, but here, they have gone deep into my Datang Baili, and I don't dare to go any further."

When Zhang Yi heard Li Yan's words, he was actually a little inexplicably heartbroken.

"A team of Tubo soldiers dares to go into the realm of my Tang Dynasty so casually, and even enter the realm of no one, such a shame, sooner or later, we will have to wash it away one day!"

Zhang Yi said fiercely, how can the dignified Celestial Empire tolerate these frontier barren people riding on his head, this time, he will use economic warfare to defeat the economy of Tubo, and then combine the military offensive of the Tang Dynasty to clean up these hateful Tubo people.

Li Yan and the others felt the anger on Zhang Yi's body, and looked at him in surprise.

"Don't worry, although we have to take risks to do business with the Tubo people now, it won't be long before we can stand in front of them as a strong man, and then they will drive cattle and sheep to my Datang territory to trade with us."

Zhang Yi said as he motioned to Li Yanyueyi and the others to slowly retreat.

He has basically mastered the information he needs, and now it is time to go back and inform the caravan, after all, the Tubo people are now cavalry, and their caravan still has to transport goods, and the speed is definitely not as fast as theirs, so it is necessary to plan first.

After returning to the caravan, Zhang Yi directly asked everyone to return the same way, but it didn't need to be too fast, and at the same time, he also asked the scouts to keep an eye on the movements of those Tubo, as long as they turned around, Zhang Yi would immediately let the caravan turn around and follow.

That's right, Zhang Yi planned to let this group of Tibetan soldiers come and clear the way for him, and follow them to Qingtang.

Following these Tibetan people, you don't have to worry about encountering bandits or anything along the way, it is more convenient.

The caravan turned around and began to move back, but before they could get out of the ten miles, the group of Tibetan soldiers turned around and went back.

"The scouts will follow them immediately, and the caravan will speed up, follow as soon as possible, don't be too far away from them, and in addition, Wang Wu, you send some people to investigate around to see if there are any other Tibetan troops around!"

As Zhang Yi spoke, he urged the caravan to turn around as soon as possible and then catch up with the group of Tibetan soldiers.

The group of Tibetan soldiers just now walked slowly and leisurely, of course they didn't have any pressure, but now that they are returning, the speed will definitely not be so slow, so if they want to continue to follow them, they have to keep up with the pace of others.

The scouts began to scatter out to reconnoitre, and the caravan was also very fast, and the carriages pulled salt, but each carriage did not pull much salt, and the road was relatively smooth, and their speed was not too slow, barely able to keep up with the Tibetan soldiers who were returning in front.

And Wang Wu had already sent scouts to scout the surroundings, and Zhang Yi didn't have to worry about being attacked by those Tubo people now.

Now, they only need to follow this group of Tibetan soldiers to Qingtang, and the rest of the things will wait until they arrive in Qingtang.

Li Yan also knew very well that along the way, they might not have any big problems, and it would be even better if they could reach Qingtang tonight.

But after rushing to Qingtang, it's time for him to perform.

From the conversation with Zhang Yi, Li Yan knew very well that their purpose this time was not just to sell these goods and exchange them for war horses.

They also want to establish their own trade channels and look for partners who can cooperate with them for a long time in Qingtang.
