Chapter 41: Return to the Battlefield

The stars hang down and the plains are wide, and the moon swells and the rivers flow. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

More than 250 fast horses, stepping on the moonlight, came out of the Xuanwu Gate at midnight, crashed into the night, and soon disappeared into the vast night.

The so-called waiting for the potatoes to ripen, as well as training the Cloud Breaking Army, all of this is just a pretense, which is done by Li Shimin and Bai Qi for others to see. The Weishui Alliance is in front, and Li Shimin's eagerness for revenge cannot be stopped.

He went to Chang'an to ask for guilt, but was rejected by Li Shimin. Jieli found that he could no longer get the results from Chang'an, and after Li Jing's raid, he fled from Yinshan, retreated to the clouds, and fled all the way to Mobei.

On the way to escape in Mobei, there are forces such as Zhaowu Jiu, Xue Yantuo, and Tuyuhun, and once Jieli with a large number of troops allies with them, it will be difficult to annihilate them. Therefore, Li Jing, Chai Shao, Li Ji and others went north overnight to intercept Jieli, while Li Daozong quietly returned to Chang'an and discussed with Li Shimin. This very small team has proven its strength in the Hunting Garden.

Exceptional mobility and staffing, subtle strategic deployment and teamwork methods, and exceptional marching speed, combined with its unique weaponry, all contribute to the difference between this special forces.

In the grass on the side of the road, a black shadow had just emerged, and a sharp arrow silently nailed the team to the road.

"Rats, you get them, and then quickly follow!" White cursed, ordered the mouse, and continued to run forward with the centaurs.

Li Daozong looked back, and the thin special soldier named Mouse was carrying more than a dozen people, like a tumbling dragon, revealing sharp teeth, and in an instant, it set off a bloody storm behind him. The black-clad man's sword slashed at the special forces' body, making a piercing sound and splashing sparks from the collision of metals. In the blink of an eye, several bloody arrows shot up into the sky, and more than a dozen black-clothed people died under the swords of rats!

"Chang'anli, when are there more of these cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods!" Li Daozong snorted coldly.

Bai Qi didn't speak, Cheng bit Jin Yin and smiled: "No matter how much, it's not enough for us to break the cloud army's teeth!" ”

In the main hall of the East Palace, Lu Zheng knelt in front of Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, the Meridian Marquis is like a god, and sure enough, a wave of black-clothed people ambushed on the road!" This group of black-clothed men has all been wiped out by the soldiers of the Cloud Breaking Army, and it has not affected their march! ”

Li Shimin stood in the courtyard, turned his head to the eldest grandson Wuji, and asked coldly: "Wuji, how is the investigation over there in Honglu Temple?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji stepped forward and handed over the roster to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the first time the Wa Kingdom came to our Huaxia more than thirty years ago, and it came five times before and after the previous dynasty, and the number of people was no less than hundreds. For the last time, Inugami Mita once came once as an ambassador's day. ”

Li Shimin squinted his eyes and thought, and whispered: "Go on." ”

"According to Zi Wuhou, the Japanese sent envoys to our China, on the one hand, because the Japanese were in a backward civilization and wanted to learn from our advanced Chinese culture, and on the other hand, the most important reason was to ensure the aggressive interests of the Japanese in China! Even, the minister deduced that the Wa Kingdom even had the purpose of collecting information about our China, and wanted to use our Tang Dynasty to invade Silla and Goguryeo! ”

"What are the results of the personnel records over there in Honglu Temple?" Li Shimin continued to ask.

Eldest Sun Wuji had a shocked expression on his face: "Your Majesty, as the Meridian Marquis speculated, in the records of the Japanese missions sent in the past, there are always a group of people who died in Luoyang or on the way back due to illness, and finally did not get on the ship, and that group of people, a total of nearly a hundred!" ”

Li Shimin put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky. It was late at night, a gust of wind was blowing, Li Shimin's clothes were hunting in the wind, and he said coldly: "What a country of sunrise!" The envoys of the Japanese state were tightly sealed up, and they were allowed to enter and leave. At the same time, spread the news that the Wa Kingdom is going to attack Silla and capture Renna, and send the news to Silla, and make the news as if it were true, so that they can make trouble! ”

Chang'an, Honglu Temple Guest Office, Wa Guo Guest House.

Yakushi Huiri knelt down in front of Inougami Mita and said respectfully: "Mita Jun, the dead soldiers sent out have already set up ambushes along the way, and this time they will definitely wipe out the Cloud Breaking Army!" ”

Under the dim oil lamp, Sandian wore gauze on his head, swept away the previous decadence, and said calmly: "Hui Rijun, I have done so many good shows, and even swallowed my anger, so that the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty can believe in the sincerity of my country!" However, the purpose of dispatching the dead soldiers this time is not to destroy the Cloud Breaking Army, but to find out its strength! ”

"Mita is clever!" Hui Ri knelt on the ground and said respectfully.

"This time, the secret chess left in Chang'an by the emperors of the past dynasties has been activated, and I, Mita Yun, must succeed!" Mita had a hideous face, his fists clenched, and he roared in a low voice.

In the dark night, outside the inn, there was a sudden sound of dense footsteps.

"Who?" Mita raised his head and shouted loudly.

"Jingzhao Yin Yong Yusong, on the orders of Honglu Temple and Fu Yin, came to inspect the guest hall of the Hakka Bureau! Envoys of various countries, please return to the embassy immediately, if there is a violation of the order, beheaded! Yong Yusong's voice sounded outside the wall, and under the moonlight, the bright sword light reflected the face of Mita Yu, who was leaning out of the window, snow-white.

"Your Excellency Mita, please go back to the house, from today onwards, the guest house is only allowed to enter and not leave!"

Looking at Yong Yusong's eyes that wanted to eat him, Mita suddenly felt as if he had been emptied, and his whole body collapsed on the ground, his face was dead.

Li Jing rode a horse to a small hillside, and on the opposite side of the hillside was a Gobi land. He turned his head and asked Zhang Gongjin behind him: "Where is Su Dingfang now?" ”

"Chief, they bite tightly behind Jieli, and in the early hours of this morning, there was a short battle with Jieli's army, and Jieli's men had no intention of responding to the battle, and continued to run west."

"Ordered the whole army to pull out the camp, speed up the march, and catch up with Su Dingfang and them. We must not let Jieli have a chance to rendezvous with Xue Yantuo or Tuyuhun! ”

The marching horn of "woo woo" sounded in the army, and the army of Dingxiangdao, which had rested for more than an hour, began to march at a faster pace.

At the back of the army, more than a dozen Tang merchants led by Yan Da Fat, leading camels and carrying the goods bought along the way, followed unhurriedly.

", it's hot! Lao Tzu feels like he is going to die on this Gobi! Yan Da Fat Man was covered in sweat, and the skin on his body was tanned: "Damn Jieli, don't you just surrender obediently, and hide a fart!" ”

The businessmen next to him laughed loudly, laughing and scolding Yan Song to lose weight: "If you don't lose your fat, it will be the same as the cheap pigs in Chang'an!" ”

"Uncle Wang, I don't like to hear what you say!" Yan Da Fat Man turned his fat neck, wiped his sweat and said, "My brother, hey, Meridian Hou, I've heard of it!" He made pork a must-have in Chang'an, and even those guys who had no money didn't want to eat pork before, now even the nobles in Chang'an are rushing to eat it! ”

"Meridian is your brother? Yan fatty, don't brag! Someone was heckling, and everyone laughed.

Yan Da Fat Man pursed his lips and glanced at the person who spoke disdainfully: "Lao Tzu is too lazy to explain to you bastards, anyway, after you go back, Lao Tzu invites you to go to Juxian Mansion and eat pork dinner!" ”

"Haha, fatty, I remember!" Amid a burst of laughter and curses in the crowd, a camel rose from the ground with its wind chimes ringing crisply and followed the army step by step, led by a local guide.

Heading north along the raging Luoshui, through dense jungles and lush grasslands, after passing through Lingzhou for simple supplies, Bai Qi marched quickly with more than 250 Cloud Breaking Army soldiers alone. Li Daozong and Cheng Yanjin returned to the army, and Li Daozong regained the general seal from the hands of the deputy general Zhang Baoxiang, and led the Datongdao Tang army to cross the Helan Mountains to the north, preparing to intercept Jieli, who was fleeing westward.

Beyond the Helan Mountains, there is a Gobi. Walking on the Gobi Desert in the hot weather, everyone did not speak to reduce unnecessary consumption.

In the steaming Gobi, the air seems to be distorted, and things in the distance seem a little blurry in the distorted air. The Cloudbreakers rested in a small oasis and filled their marching pots with water. The horses flicked their tails and gathered around the edge of the small lake, drinking the water merrily, and from time to time they made low neighing sounds.

White and Cheng are under a tree, holding a map, comparing their positions.

"Behind us is Tuyuhun," Bai Qi pointed to the map and said to the Cloud Breaker soldiers, "According to the intelligence, Jieli's army was attacked by General Manager Li in Yinshan, and the remaining remnants of the army are coming in this direction. ”

Looking at a large area of the Gobi area on the map, Cheng Chumo asked: "This area is so big, how can we intercept Jieli?" ”

"Oasis!" White explained: "First, there must be something unusual about their march of this size. Second, during their hasty escape, they will be short of water in the Gobi. ”

At this time, the mouse returned from a distance with a team of scouts, and White stopped and looked over: "Mouse, what have you found?" ”

The mouse threw down one of the Turks on the horse and said excitedly, "Master Hou, you have caught a big fish!" ”

Everyone looked over, and it was a young Turk, although the clothes on his body were covered with sand and dust, they could see that the clothes were of good quality, and although there was some confusion and fear in his eyes, there was a majesty that ordinary Turks did not have.

"Who are you?" White walked over and asked the young Turk condescendingly.

"What about my men?"

The rat jumped off his horse and said with a smile: "They have all fed the scorpions in the Gobi!" ”

The Turk sighed, suddenly knelt at the feet of the white chess, and refused to speak for a long time.

White did not force the young Turk either, but simply ordered him to be taken care of. He commanded the Cloud Breaking Army on the side, and according to the team's approach, he indirectly patrolled within a hundred miles of the vicinity, always paying attention to the occurrence of abnormal movements. He sat in the army, waiting for Li Daozong and them to arrive, because he had a bold guess about the identity of this Turk.

In the evening, Li Daozong and Cheng Yanjin, who got the news, led a hundred horsemen and galloped all the way all night to the oasis. When they saw the young Turk who was drinking white porridge, they had a look of surprise on their faces.

Cheng Yanjin laughed, patted Bai Qi's shoulder and said, "Good boy, this is Jieli's son Di Luo Shi!" ”
