Chapter 16: Exploring the Hu Camp at Night
Yang Yuanqing slowly opened his eyes, his physical strength had fully recovered, only to feel that the muscles in his body were full, with inexhaustible strength, he stretched his waist for a long time, and his bones were 'boom! Wow!' Creaked.
He glanced around, only to see Yu Chiwan looking at him with concern, and the others were not there.
"Wei Chi, where are they?" Yang Yuanqing felt a little strange.
"A rescue rocket appeared in the north just now, and Yang Sien took the others to check."
Yang Yuanqing frowned, and asked again, "How long has it been?" ”
"About half an hour, you've just ......"
Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Yang Yuanqing jumped up, turned over on his horse, grabbed the reins and shouted, "Follow me!" ”
He pulled up the lance inserted in the grass and mud, urged the war horse, and galloped towards the north of the grassland with Wei Chiwan.......
Yang Yuanqing searched within ten miles, but found nothing, there was no trace of his men, and Yu Chiwan also scratched her head in surprise, she could see the rocket very clearly, and it was five miles at most.
At this time, Yang Yuanqing was attracted by a vertical boulder on the grassy slope not far away, his eyesight was very good, and he could see clearly in the dark, it was three boulders, and there were obvious traces of artificial stacking.
He turned over and dismounted, and walked forward quickly, there were three pieces of white granite, the top one was cut flat by a knife, Yang Yuanqing patted the dust on it, and there was a line of words written crookedly on it, it was the handwriting of the fat fish, and by the faint moonlight, Yang Yuanqing identified them one by one, 'Wait in place, we will return immediately'.
Other than that, there is no other clue, "What is it?" Yu Chiwan walked forward quickly.
"It's their message that keeps us waiting."
"But... Where did they go? What's going on? Wei Chiwan asked anxiously.
"I don't know!"
Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "There is no sign of fighting around, with Yang Sien's experience, he will not do risky things, maybe he is going to save people from a distance, there should be no big problem." ”
He simply sat down on the grassy slope, the feeling of breaking through his physical strength was no longer found at this time, and after the exhilaration, he actually had an indescribable sense of loss.
In the steppe of early spring, the night sky is magnificent and moving, the sky is like a tent of the Turks, the steppe is enveloped endlessly, the velvety canopy is decorated with bright stars like jewels, a bright moon gradually turns from dark red to golden, cruising above the horizon at the end of the grassland, the moonlight is like pale golden flowing water, flowing all over the sky.
Yang Yuanqing stared at the sky with a full moon, today is February 15th, he can't help but miss his distant relatives in his heart, his grandfather intends to let him stay on the frontier for a long time, but he can't let go of them in his heart!
Wei Chiwan also gradually calmed down, and she also realized that it was useless to be anxious, waiting was the only thing they needed to do now.
She also sat down, hugged her knees, and gazed at the full moon in the sky with Yang Yuanqing, but a woman's heart will always have an inexplicable emotion in the cool spring night, she glanced at Yang Yuanqing, and asked worriedly: "Huo Chang, since you came back from the Chinese army's tent in the afternoon, you have been preoccupied, what happened?" ”
Yang Yuanqing went to the Chinese army tent again in the afternoon, and his grandfather told him that he was going to let him hone in the grassland for five years, away from the prosperity of the capital, Yang Yuanqing had no experience of prosperity, but he thought of being separated from his aunt Niuniu for five years, but he had an indescribable melancholy.
"It's nothing, it's just that on the eve of the big war, I have a little expectation in my heart, and I am a little nervous."
He tried his best to suppress the thoughts of his relatives in his heart, turned around and asked with a smile: "Wei Chi, what about you, are you looking forward to war?" ”
Wei Chiwan sighed and said: "I am also looking forward to it, to be honest, I hope to die on the battlefield and give my family a pension." ”
"Why should we be compensated, isn't it better to be rewarded for meritorious service?" Yang Yuanqing said with a smile.
"Don't you really know?"
A sly smile appeared in Wei Chiwan's eyes, "Zhang Jinjin is dreaming of being rewarded for meritorious service and returning to his hometown?" But he died, and I always hoped to die, but in the end I survived, so ah! Aspirations are always the opposite of reality. ”
Yang Yuanqing got up, I see, maybe this is called the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment!
"Wei Chi, have you heard of Mulan?"
"No, who is it?"
"The people of the Northern Wei Dynasty, like you, disguised themselves as men, joined the army for their father, chirped and chirped, and Mulan became a household weaver. I don't hear the sound of the machine, but I hear the sigh of the woman. Ask the woman what she thinks, and ask the woman what she remembers. The woman has nothing to think about, and the woman has nothing to remember....."
Yang Yuanqing recited this Mulan Ci to her in a low voice, Yu Chiwan listened to it and her eyes were a little obsessed, Yang Yuanqing finished reciting, she stared at the full moon and starry sky, the moonlight was like water, flowing into her heart, for a long time, she sighed faintly, "Twelve years together, I don't know that Mulan is a girl, has she been in the army for twelve years?" ”
"What about you? After this war is over, do you want to go back to the Central Plains? ”
"It's not up to me." Yu Chiwan sighed.
"What if you could decide? How do you choose? ”
Wei Chiwan bit her lip lightly, there was another reason why she joined the army for her father, she had a family business in her hometown, and she didn't want to marry that person, so she resolutely joined the army in her father's name.
"If possible, I hope to stay in the grassland, I have the blood of the Xianbei people in my body, and the grassland is my home."
Thinking of the imminent outbreak of the big war, Wei Chiwan's face disappeared with tenderness, and she regained her manly fortitude, she stood up, "Huo Chang, I'll take a look around again and see if I can find anything?" ”
Yang Yuanqing suddenly turned over and got on his horse, he grabbed the reins and stared into the distance.
"What's wrong?" Seeing his solemn expression, Wei Chiwan couldn't help but ask strangely.
"I feel murderous, the main Turkic force should be here."
Dark clouds rolled in the distance, gradually engulfing the clear starry sky.
........
In the distance, a war horse galloped over, and gradually got closer, and it turned out to be a fat fish, "Fire Chief!" He shouted from afar.
Yang Yuanqing urged him to go immediately and asked urgently: "What about the three of them?" ”
"We have found the main force of the Turkic army, they are in a woods thirty miles ahead, and I will come back to you."
"Let's go!"
Yang Yuanqing whipped his horse violently and galloped towards the north.
Running for more than ten miles, Yang Yuanqing slowed down, "What did you find in that rocket just now?" ”
"We found a seriously wounded Sui army scout, he said that he was attacked by the Turkic outpost, Yang Sien thought that the Turkic outpost was found, there must be a main force nearby, he asked Lao Kang to send the scout back to the camp, and we continued to probe forward, and the result was that the main Turkic force was found."
The three of them galloped all the way on the steppe, bypassing the patrol range of the Turkic outposts, and soon came to a forest, which is extremely rare in this area, covering an area of about fifty acres, and the forest is dark and gloomy.
As soon as they arrived at the edge of the woods, Yang Sien and Ma Shao greeted them, "Huo Chang, I'm sorry, I am in charge of my own affairs!" Yang Sien bowed down and said apologetically.
"Nothing."
Yang Yuanqing didn't care about Yang Sien's overstepping his authority, he was more concerned about the result, "Where is the main Turkic force?" ”
Yang Sien pointed to the distance, "Ten miles to the northeast." ”
Yang Yuanqing was silent for a while, according to his character, he wanted to confirm it again, but doing so obviously did not believe Yang Sien, Yang Yuanqing's silence was only for a moment, and he immediately made a decision.
"It's a matter of the safety of 100,000 Sui troops, don't be careless, everyone come with me!"
He rode his horse and galloped towards the northeast, Yang Sien's face changed slightly, but in the end he sighed slightly and followed.
He has been an officer for ten years, and he became a deserter again because of a thought, but it is difficult for him to change the habit of putting me first, Yang Yuanqing does not accept his judgment, which makes him a little dissatisfied in his heart, but when he thinks of Yang Yuanqing's identity, he can only accept it helplessly.
.........
With the lesson of the bloody breakthrough of Yudu Jin Mountain, Yang Yuanqing did not dare to be careless, the five of them carefully infiltrated to the northeast, and the Turkic army also had outposts, but at this time, the peripheral outposts of the Turks were mainly to prevent the sneak attack of the Sui army, and they were no longer like the random movement of Yudu Jin Mountain, which made people unable to guard against it, but they were all fixed to patrol within a certain range, and it was difficult for the cavalry to escape the eyes of the Turks.
But in this way, a scout team of several people like Yang Yuanqing has an opportunity to take advantage of, as long as they find the law of the Turkic outposts, they can quickly approach the enemy camp. Of course, it is only five miles away, and it is almost impossible to move forward.
It's about three or four miles away. Crossing a grassy slope, everyone's eyes suddenly brightened, only to see a river a few miles away, there were dotted Turkic camps, there was no edge in sight, the camp was full of people, not an empty camp.
It is about 100 miles away from the Sui army camp.
