Chapter 348: Red Cliff Station

This place is less than eighty miles away from the Red Cliff Post where the Yiwu army is stationed, and it is also a place where business travelers must pass through in peacetime, and these Persians dare to do such a thing here, which can be regarded as bold.

The Hu merchants have always been in peace and self-defense in the Tang Dynasty, and those Hu merchants in Chang'an City have always nodded when they see Long Wujun, and the captain looked at the corpses of the Persians all over the land, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. The Persians intercepted the Tang army on the land of the Tang Dynasty, which is unusual no matter how you look at it.

The young lieutenant was shocked when he thought that he was the fifth group of Longwu Army messengers to pass through this place, and that there were four more groups of messengers passing through this place before. If these Persians had been here with all their intentions, then the four messengers would have been ......

There were many tents left by Persian merchants on the shore of the lake, and the captain looked at them one by one with his horizontal knife, and there was no one inside, apparently all of them had participated in the attack just now, and now they had fallen under his sword.

There were a lot of horses and camels, and they were all loaded with all kinds of goods, and they looked no different from ordinary Persian caravans. The captain clenched the horizontal knife with a tense face, and circled around Bihu, and it didn't take long for him to make a discovery.

Far from the other side of the avenue, the captain gently dug through the soft dirt with a horizontal knife, revealing corpses stacked on top of each other.

Those were his robes, the four messengers who set out first, and all of them were here. There are more than 20 Chang'an children, each of whom has scars on their bodies, and due to the hot weather, the corpses are already showing signs of decay.

"Good thief!" The young lieutenant's eyes flickered with coldness, and he gritted his teeth and cursed.

These Persian thieves are truly hateful, if they themselves had drunk their grapes just now. At this time, I am afraid that it is already the same as these robes. It's buried here. And after that. and Pao Ze continued to come from Chang'an, and they would be killed one by one by them, and then buried here.

This time, I was glad that I didn't drink their grapes, otherwise these thieves would have succeeded again.

Why these Persians did this, the captain did not understand. Looking at the beautiful oasis in front of him, the captain thought for a long time and decided not to go forward, but to turn back to the Red Cliff Station. Waiting for the follow-up robes.

These Persians were killed by him, but he was afraid that there were still Persians intercepting him on the road ahead, and the captain did not think that he was invincible.

After confessing his guilt in his heart and covering the corpse of the robe again, the captain walked back to the other side of Bihu, looked at the robes who were still asleep, and frowned. Untie the water bag and pour it over the face of a robe.

Stirred by the cold water, the Tang Army knight woke up. I was shocked to see the corpses all over the ground. I wanted to get up, but I found that my whole body was sore, and I didn't have the slightest strength at all.

Seeing that this method worked, the captain did the same and woke up several robes. When these people woke up, they were all sore and numb and couldn't move. Everyone was extremely shocked when they looked at the corpses of Hu Shang all over the ground, and they listened to what happened to the school captain, while scolding these damn Hu Shang, and at the same time they were amazed that the school captain killed dozens of people on the other side alone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a much more dangerous trip than we thought. I mean, let's not go forward first, go back to the Red Cliff Post and wait for the brothers in the back, so as not to have an accident with them, if you have any ideas, tell me. The young lieutenant looked at several subordinates and asked in a deep voice.

"Whatever the captain says, let's do."

"It's okay to go to the Red Cliff Post and wait, maybe something will happen if you go any further."

"The most important thing is to report what happened here to Chang'an. These Persians are so bold, there must be a reason for this, let's send the news back to Chang'an, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should pay attention to these guys. ”

"There are still seven groups of brothers in the back, we can't let them be killed by the Persians, let's go to the Red Cliff Post and wait, so as to give the brothers a wake-up call."

Several Chang'an disciples talked chaotically, and soon made up their minds.

The road ahead is uncertain, Tingzhou is temporarily unable to go, first go back to Hongyayi and wait for the robe in the back, and then try to send the news back to Chang'an as soon as possible.

After more than an hour, several Chang'an disciples regained some strength and were barely able to ride horses. Ignoring the corpses of the Persians on the ground, the knights of the Longwu Army turned over their horses under the leadership of the young captain, quickly left the oasis, and rushed back into the vast sea of sand, heading in the direction of the Red Cliff Station.

As twilight fell, the knights of the Dragon Warrior Army trekked eighty miles in the desert and returned to the Red Cliff Post again. The Yiwu army stationed at the Red Cliff Post was seeing a few people returning and hurriedly came over to inquire about the reason. A fast-talking knight of the Dragon Warrior Army pointed to the northwest and said, "Damn, there are Persians outside the desert who intercepted and killed us, and we killed them all-"

The lieutenant glared at the young knight, looked at the team and said in a deep voice, "Hurry up and prepare food and horses, I will stay here for a few days." ”

The defenders of the Red Cliff Station belong to the Yiwu Army, and the Yiwu Army is a branch of the Beiting Army, the captain came here from Chang'an this time, although General Chen Xuanli did not elaborate before leaving, but he could also faintly feel that the general was on guard against the army in the west of the moraine, so he naturally didn't want to talk too much about this team this time.

The team's eyes flashed slightly, and they laughed and said, "There is food and horse food, you can stay for a few days if you want." As he spoke, he beckoned a few posters to come over, led a few people's war horses down to take care of them, and asked people to arrange for a few people to live in the post station.

The young lieutenant summoned a few robes into his room, and strictly ordered everyone not to talk much, and wait until the robes in the back arrived before making plans. A few people didn't know why, but when they saw the captain's grim expression, they all nodded yes.

……

Since the Son of Heaven ordered Ma Xuan to control the affairs west of the quicksand, the Yiwu army has taken over every post station in Mohe Yanmoi, and every post station is actually controlled by Anxi secret agents, and the Red Cliff Station is naturally no exception.

The team leader of Red Cliff Station is naturally also an Anxi secret agent. The words of the knight of the Dragon Martial Army were only half of what he said, but he couldn't just forget it, after settling down these Chang'an disciples, he took a dozen of his subordinates to leave the Red Cliff Post and headed northwest at high speed in the twilight.

At midnight, we reached an oasis on the edge of the desert. The corpses of those Persians were also seen. Because the scene was too tragic. Therefore, none of the caravans that passed by here during the day dared to stop here. Everything is basically as it is.

The team was at a low level in the Anxi secret agent system, so he couldn't see anything, but combined with the words of the dragon warrior knight, he knew that these Persians intercepted those dragon warrior knights, but they were killed by the other party instead.

Holding the torch high and looking at the hideous corpse on the ground, the team's face became extremely solemn. The Persians dared to make trouble on the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and they really didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

But after all, there were forty or fifty of them, all of them tall. As a result, they were all killed, but the knights of the Dragon Warrior Army were unscathed.

These guys from Chang'an, he didn't pay attention to them originally, thinking that they were just some guys who could embroider their legs, but this kind of record was enough to shock him. He is the most powerful person in the army, so he naturally thinks a little higher in his heart for those Chang'an children.

Such a major event naturally has to be reported. After a careful search, the team called over three of their most capable subordinates, who also belonged to Anxi's secret agents, and ordered them to rush to the county seat of Rouyuan immediately. Spread the news to Yizhou and let the capital protect know as soon as possible.

The three of them were ordered to leave. Disappear into the night. The team Zhengfu returned to the desert with his subordinates and rushed to the direction of the Red Cliff Post overnight.

According to common sense, these guys were ambushed, and they should have informed the nearby robes, but these guys were reluctant to say it, and it was extremely strange in the eyes of the team. He couldn't figure out why, but something was wrong after all. After returning to the inn at dawn, the team was ordering all the innkeepers to be on guard for what might happen.

The next morning, the young lieutenant and his subordinates were treated with the best of the best. They deserve it because of their record. And this is how the people of the inn tell them that what they are doing is already known. After all, this is the territory of the Iwu Army, and they are the masters here.

The young lieutenant is also open-minded, since it has been known by the Yiwu army, there is nothing to hide, good wine and good meat just enjoy it. As soon as noon, another wave of Dragon Warrior Army knights was ushered in.

"Mingyun, why are you still here?"

This wave of Longwu Army knights led the team was also a school captain, and he was slightly stunned when he saw the young school captain waiting outside the post station.

"Lao Wan, something is wrong." The young lieutenant walked forward quickly, lowered his voice, and then quickly told the lieutenant surnamed Wan about the matter.

When I heard it, I was shocked. He came to confuse the credit this time, but he didn't want to lose his life in this moraine west wind and sand. I originally thought it was a simple errand, there were so many messengers in front, and following behind was nothing more than a trip to Tingzhou and then back to Chang'an, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen.

"Mingyun, you mean, you killed dozens of Persian warriors by yourself?" Lao Wan said in a low voice, looking at the young lieutenant in disbelief.

The young lieutenant nodded.

Lao Wan twitched the corner of his mouth, although it was a bit exaggerated, but Wang Mingyun never spoke, if he couldn't believe his words, then no one in the Longwu Army could believe them.

Lao Wan jumped off the horse and said in a low voice: "Since this is the case, what should we do?" It is the general's order to go to Tingzhou for questioning, and it is also the prince's intention, so I will stay here and stop, I am afraid that it will not be possible. ”

The young lieutenant nodded and said: "Someone has to go to Tingzhou, otherwise it will be a violation of the military order, in my opinion, it is also extremely important to spread this news to Chang'an." The Persians have always been submissive, and there must be something wrong with this behavior this time. There are many Persians in Chang'an City, and if you don't watch out for them, I'm afraid that there will be trouble. ”

Lao Wan wrinkled his brows and thought for a long time, nodded with a solemn expression, and said, "That's reasonable." In this way, Mingyun, you write down the matter in detail, brother, I will immediately rush back to Chang'an and tell Your Majesty about this matter. Going to Tingzhou...... Brother, I don't have the ability to allow you, so let's trouble you to go! ”

Several knights around the young lieutenant showed disdain on their faces, and several knights around Lao Wan also showed embarrassment. The young lieutenant groaned, nodded, and said, "That's fine." Originally, I was going to wait for the brothers in the back to arrive before making plans, but the matter is urgent, and it is reasonable to send the news back to Chang'an as soon as possible. ”

"Lao Wan, then it's decided, I'll go to Tingzhou, and you go back to Chang'an. When I see the brothers who came from behind, you tell them about this for me, and as for returning to Chang'an, continue to go to Tingzhou, and let them decide for themselves! (To be continued......)
