Deputy Wuzhen asked for leave of absence at the request of Pan Beijia to come to Yizhou, and now he is going back.

Xiao Jiading did not tell Tang Lin or Princess Yang about this operation, and now the task given to him by Princess Yang is as long as the result is not about the process. Therefore, he does not need to report everything, which is easy to arouse the vigilance of his opponents. He and Crazy Mei only said that they would go out to handle the case, but did not say that they would go to the border.

Next.

Deputy Wuzhen had already prepared the horses, and they set off on horseback.

The border is not far from Yizhou, so if you hurry up, you can leave early and arrive at night. That's how they traveled.

When it was dark, they arrived at the military town of Tuopan.

This military town is on a hillside more than ten miles from the border. Standing on the mountain, you can see the Tibetan villages on the opposite side of the mountain. It's just that it's dark now, and it's dark and rumbling everywhere.

The military town was built with a simple city wall, which was less than two zhang high. It was only as wide as a carriage. Tell him to open the gate and go in, and the city is brightly lit. There were only four hundred people in the entire military town. Of course, there are also some local people who live here.

The supreme governor of this military town turned out to be General Zhang Zhen, who had been promoted not long ago and went to serve in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and the new town general had not yet been appointed, so the military town was temporarily led by the deputy commander of Wuzhen. At this time, he is actually the supreme governor of the military town, and he has the final say.

Deputy Wuzhen led them to the barracks, and after arranging for Xiao Jiading to stay, he immediately prepared a banquet. called his subordinate deputy to accompany him, these are all good wine, but he had to go up to the mountain to hunt the next day, so Wuzhen deputy did not instruct his subordinates to pour Xiao Jiading's wine.

However, the purpose of Xiao Jiading's visit this time was to find out the case, and to find out, he had to deal with these soldiers. Therefore, he was anti-guest and took the initiative to toast. called these lieutenant generals brothers, and suddenly won the favor of these generals.

These generals already know that this is a big celebrity in front of the prince of Shu, who once saved the life of the prince of Shu, and at the same time, he is likely to be the future son-in-law of the top boss Wuzhen. Since Xiao Jiading took the initiative to drink, they naturally wanted to be a good companion. So there was a wine war.

At the banquet, Xiao Jiading learned through the conversation that two of the teams were originally Captain Han's subordinates, and they had experienced the whole thing at that time. The two of them have the surnames Jiang and Shen, respectively. Xiao Jiading deliberately had a relationship with the two of them. also asked them if they like hunting, soldiers generally like hunting, and the two naturally nodded. So Xiao Jiading proposed to Deputy Wuzhen that he go up to the mountains to hunt the next day and let the two of them go with him. Xiao Jiading's proposal, Deputy Wuzhen naturally would not refuse. He immediately nodded in agreement.

After achieving his goal, Xiao Jiading pretended to be drunk. So Deputy Wuzhen dispersed the banquet and asked Wu Haiyan to help Xiao Jiading back to the room to rest.

Wu Haiyan was originally massive, and these officers knew about it, so they asked her for a drink. But Wu Haiyan did not let go of drinking as before, but drank very gently. This made the officers very strange. But when you think about it, you can understand that when your future husband is around, of course you have to behave ladylike.

The next morning. After Xiao Jiading got up, Wu Haiyan came over immediately and asked him how he felt, if he had a headache or something. It's like a little daughter-in-law. Xiao Jiading pretended to have a headache, rubbed his forehead, and said, "Your father's subordinates are too good to drink." I can't, I'm not their opponent. ”

Wu Haiyan pursed her lips and smiled, "I thought you could drink more!" I get drunk with such a little wine. If you drank so much from me that day, you don't know what you would be drunk like! ”

Deputy Wuzhen had already prepared a bow and arrow blade, and he wanted to personally accompany Xiao Jiading to the mountain to hunt. He also brought a team of sergeants, who were responsible for bombing the prey.

It's all mountainous here, and naturally you can't ride a horse while hunting in the mountains. So they walked up the hill.

Wu Haiyan followed Xiao Jiading with a bow on her back. Xiao Jiading didn't know how to shoot arrows, so instead of choosing a longbow, he took a strong crossbow. It was a bit like a rifle today, and it also had a sight, which was used for much the same purpose as today's rifles, changing the angle of the crossbow depending on the distance. So after mastering it, I still shoot more accurately. After he got it, he asked Wu Haiyan to teach him how to load the arrow shaft and how to aim and release the arrow, and he basically knew how to use it.

Since it was hunting, it must be somewhat dangerous, so Xiao Jiading inserted the dagger rewarded by Princess Yang into his boots for self-defense.

I went out of the city and up the mountain, all the way up and down the mountain, and finally arrived at a big mountain and stopped there.

Deputy Wuzhen said to Xiao Jiading: "This mountain is called Eagle Mountain, which means that eagles can't fly over." The mountains are high and densely forested, and there are many wild animals inside, including black bears and tigers, so be careful. ”

Wu Haiyan said: "Fighting tigers is enjoyable, it's more fun than those hares." It's just not easy to come across it, and I've only encountered three times after so many hunts. Two were killed, and one escaped wounded. I've also hunted black bears! That guy is tougher than a tiger! ”

Wu Haiyan was full of interest and talked to Xiao Jiading about hunting in the past. Xiao Jiading just listened to it, he spent more time talking to the two teams, learning about their usual patrols and other things, because Deputy Wuzhen was always by his side, so Xiao Jiading didn't have a chance to ask about Captain Han, for fear of arousing vigilance, so he never mentioned this matter.

Finally, the soldiers who were investigating in front reported loudly that they had found several roe deer. Deputy Wuzhen immediately ordered the soldiers to surround the prey and blast them to Xiao Jiading's side in order to shoot Xiao Jiading.

However, they were outnumbered, and after all, they could not compare with the emperor when he went out hunting, and there was no way to surround the entire mountain, so soon the two prey escaped from their encirclement. Run to the other side of the mountain.

Deputy Wuzhen was very anxious, this was the first time he had taken his future son-in-law out to hunt, and if he was escaped by the prey like this, he would lose face. So Deputy Wuzhen ordered a pursuit! Let his daughter Wu Haiyan take care of Xiao Jiading, he himself led a team of soldiers to outflank the left, and let the Shen team lead another team to copy the right. And the Jiang team was accompanying Xiao Jiading with the rest of the soldiers to follow and chase the prey from the front.

Seeing that Deputy Wuzhen and Team Shen were leading the soldiers to chase the prey, Xiao Jiading took this rare opportunity to ask Jiang Zhengzheng, and he said: "Hunting is really interesting, did you also go to the mountains to hunt when you used to be with Captain Han?" ”

"Hit! Often, Captain Han likes to hunt very much, and his archery skills are also very exquisite, sometimes he hits a big prey, and in order to chase the prey, he also chased into Tubo! ”

Xiao Jiading was very interested: "Really? Not worried about being caught by the soldiers of Tibet? ”

"They arrested us? Hey, that's an egg hitting a stone! They have few soldiers and poor weapons, so it's interesting enough that we don't catch them! ”

"Oh? How did I hear that the soldiers of Tibet were very capable of fighting? ”

"Like us, some of the troops are very good at fighting, and some are not very good. Many of the elite troops that can now fight in Tibet are concentrated in the northeast to attack Tuyuhun, and many of the troops originally stationed in our area have also been withdrawn. What remains is not our opponent at all! ”

Xiao Jiading said curiously: "Is this so? So why was Captain Han surrounded by the Tubo army and disarmed and surrendered? ”

Team Jiang looked a little stupid and said, "That's different. ”

"How?"

Jiang Teamzheng only knew that Xiao Jiading was the savior of the King of Shu, but he didn't know that Lu Dao was in charge of the prisoner of Han Xiaowei's case. Deputy Wuzhen didn't tell them about these things, thinking that it had nothing to do with it. So when Xiao Jiading asked this question, Jiang Teamzheng was not alert, but replied honestly: "It's very strange to be honest this time, because Princess Wencheng is close to her, and our relationship with Tubo has always been good, and we have been safe and sound for many years. Later, the year before last, Songtsen Gampo died, his grandson became the king, and the Tibetan minister Lu Dongzan was in charge of the government, and the relationship with us began to be not very good. But it has not yet reached the point of fighting each other. Because this area is mountainous, and the border line has not been finally demarcated, it is not clear which mountain is theirs and we are ours. The people on both sides also intermarried a lot, and often intermarried. Their troops also patrol our side, and of course, we also have people who don't know where to go. In the past, the big deal was to say hello and let us go back, but I didn't expect that this time, Tubo would use nearly 1,000 troops to surround our 200 people. And claimed that we had to be disarmed to let us go. We reasoned with them for three days, but they ignored us and just surrounded us and didn't let us go. We went out on patrol without any food, so we were hungry for three days to eat. Later, the superiors ordered them to surrender. ”

Xiao Jiading asked, "Who ordered it?" ”

"It should be Captain Han, he is our boss."

"Didn't you say that Captain Han was tied up by Brigade Marshal Bao and them later?"

Team Jiang was scratching his head and said, "To be honest, I don't know what's going on. I'm just a small team leader, and I'm not qualified to participate in their military consultations. But it was precisely because of this that I survived, but I was beaten with a hundred military sticks, and Captain Han and Brigade Marshal Li, who participated in the decision-making, were beheaded. That Brigade Marshal Bao may have been promoted because he came back from capturing Captain Han, so he was not executed, but on the contrary, he was promoted. ”

"Really? What rank has he been promoted? ”

"I've become a town deputy in Jibian Military Town!"

He was originally just a brigade commander, but now he is directly a deputy of a military town, jumping two levels in a row! It seems that this time he has made great contributions, what credit has he made? Just caught Captain Han? Could it be that Captain Han was preparing to abscond at that time?

Xiao Jiading asked: "Who were the people who participated in the decision-making at that time?" ”

"Just Captain Han and Bao and Li, the two brigade commanders, a total of three people."

"Tubo still negotiated with you?"

"Let's talk, there are several people, it's the captain of the personal guard of the chief of the Tuobian tribe, what is the name of Jiangcun. I know him. He had come to our military town to eat and drink before, and he was very familiar with General Zhangzhen. We also went to accompany him, and this kid drank so well that none of us flirted with him. In the end, it was the deputy of Wuzhen who came out of the horse, so he was drunk. (To be continued......)
