Wang Hui originally planned to land in Chencang, but because things changed, the Turks and Liang Shidu's people merged into one unit, and Wang Hui had to change his mind and act according to Liang Shidu's plan;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

At this time, Liang Shidu's men had just left Meizhou. In order to avoid being found by the Tang officers and soldiers who patrolled Zhao Yunze and Qin Mo'er along the Weishui, Niu Dali discussed with Wang Hui and decided to abandon the ship and land by land instead.

There were fifty people led by Niu Dali, and they were disguised as a caravan to operate in the territory of Datang.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court's control over the local area was not very strong, and Niu Dali's people were originally Han Chinese, so their activities in the Tang Dynasty were very calm.

Zhao Yunze and Qin Mo'er are now imprisoned with Sun Simiao and Sun Ling'er, and the enemy is strong, so the two of them do not make any resistance, and they are very obedient to follow the "Liangtu Coalition Army" all the way north.

Niu Dali's "caravan" had five or six wagons, all but one for four prisoners, and the rest of the carriages were loaded with goods. The goods were worthless things, low-quality porcelain with missing edges, moldy and spoiled tea cakes that had been in the warehouse for years, and a trace of linen and other groceries.

Even these rags only take up a third of the carriage's loading space. The rest of the space in the carriage was stuffed with straw. The carriage was loaded with such a small amount of money, as a result of which the "Liangtu coalition" marched very fast.

All the way north, whenever he encounters a checkpoint of the imperial court, Niu Dali will issue a road guide issued by the Tang Meizhou government to the checkpoint soldiers or officials, and then pay a certain amount of tax, and the passage will be unimpeded.

Naturally, the guide was forged. Liang Shidu is also a separatist force on the side of the emperor, and there is no shortage of people with small abilities under the account, and it is not difficult to forge a road guide.

As for the question of the official about the card, Niu Dali's goods were all some rags, Niu Dali explained that he was going to the north to trade with the Turks, and these goods were rags in the Tang Dynasty, but when they arrived in the Turks, they were still very popular with those small tribes.

The Tang Dynasty and the Turkic New Alliance, the two countries communicate with each other in the border markets, as long as the merchants of the Tang Dynasty do not sell contraband such as salt and iron, the government will not embarrass these merchants. Niu Dali and his entourage went through the state and county very smoothly and went all the way north.

Zhao Yunze, Qin Mo'er, Sun Simiao, and Sun Ling'er were not abused by the "Liangtu Coalition Army". They had no ropes, but were trapped in a carriage. When they rest and camp on the way, they can still move their legs and feet to let off steam.

But this does not mean that Zhao Yunze and Qin Mo'er have a chance to get out. Niu Dali, as the commander of Liang Shidu's guards, is very capable and wise. The chauffeur helpers in the convoy were all Tang Dynasty people hired by Niu Dali after he went ashore, and Niu Dali's people looked at these people very closely. Zhao Yunze and Qin Mo'er didn't understand that Niu Dali wanted to take these people hostage when an accident happened.

In addition, Niu Dali's Liangtu coalition army has a lot of people, whether it is on the road or camping, the vigilance of Zhao Yunze and other captives is very strong, and Zhao Yunze and Qin Mo'er can't have the heart to resist.

In this way, the robbers and captives marched peacefully for four or five days. On the morning of this day, the "caravan" entered Yanzhou in the territory of Datang.

The north of Yanzhou is the old nest of Liang Shidu. Yanzhou was originally under the rule of Bingzhou in the Sui Dynasty, and the Liang division was called the emperor and occupied a part of the northwest territory of Yanzhou. Today, Yanzhou is shared by both Datang and Liang Shi.

At the time, the convoy was walking on a road with hills on both sides.

"General Niu, it's finally time to enter Yanzhou." Abuhua, who was riding a horse parallel to Niu Dali and Wang Hui, said in front of the team, "Let's speed up a little faster, and we can enter Shuofang in the evening." Once you enter Shuofang, you don't have to be afraid. ”

Wang Xu looked at the hillsides on both sides and said, "The more you get to Shuofang, the more careless you become. At this time, we were still in the Tang realm, and the northeast of Yanzhou was where the Taiyuan of Bingzhou Prefecture was located. The governor of the Tang Dynasty is now Li Ji, and this person is Li Shimin's confidant, if he gets the news from Li Shimin, he may block our northward advance. ”

Abuhua frowned and said, "Lord Wang, didn't you say that the people of the Tang Dynasty would not think of our route?"

Wang Hui sighed and said, "I just said that Li Shimin might not have thought that we would go west first and then go back around, and I didn't say that they wouldn't guess that we would go through Shuofang. ”

Niu Dali thought for a while and said, "Lord Wang's worries are not unreasonable. However, you originally planned to go ashore from Chencang, but now you have landed in the east of Meizhou. Counting the distance, you have walked at least two or three days less than planned. At this time, the Tang court may not be able to react. Perhaps, Li Ji hasn't gotten the news yet. ”

Wang Hui and Abuhua have always called the Tang Dynasty "Tang Dynasty", while Niu Dali called the Tang Dynasty "Tang Kingdom". From this title, it can be seen that the Turks and Liang Shi have different attitudes towards the Tang Dynasty. The Turks regarded the Tang Dynasty as orthodox in the Central Plains; As for Liang Shidu, he put Datang in the same position as him. I can't help but say that Liang Shidu's realm is very high, and it can also be said that this person is ambitious and talented, and he doesn't know what to do.

Wang Hui listened to Niu Dali's words and said, "No matter what, we still have to be careful. I suggest sending more scouts to explore the way forward, and if we find Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses, we can deal with them in advance. ”

Niu nodded vigorously, and then sent five or six soldiers dressed as caravan guards to probe on the road ahead.

"It's almost time for Shuofang." On the carriage, Sun Simiao suddenly said.

Zhao Yunze lifted the curtain and looked out, wondering: "Daochang Sun, there is no landmark terrain on this road, how did you conclude that you are about to reach Shuofang?"

Sun Simiao said: "Poor Dao has almost traveled all over the rivers of the Central Plains over the years, and according to our travel distance, we can naturally judge where we have been. ”

Zhao Yunze suddenly remembered something, so he asked Sun Simiao: "Sun Daochang, didn't you say that you have martial arts, why were you arrested by Liang Shidu's people?"

Sun Simiao glanced at Zhao Yunze, and said angrily: "There are so many people in Liang Shidu, and the poor Dao has to take care of Ling'er, how dare you disobey them?"

"Also, if it weren't for the scruples of those people, if we passed through such a checkpoint along the way, Mo'er and I would have taken the opportunity to get out a long time ago."

Sun Simiao smiled slightly and said, "Captain Zhao is a military person, and he should have been decisive in killing." It is also surprising that this woman's kindness appears in you. ”

Zhao Yunze said: "The existence of soldiers is to protect the people. If the people are implicated and killed because of themselves, then Zhao, the official, should not be deserved."

As soon as Zhao Yunze's words came out, Qin Mo'er and Sun Ling'er's eyes became brighter when they looked at him.

Who knew that Sun Simiao sighed and said: "You can think this is the duty of an official, but now we are in such a situation, you and Miss Qin are afraid of those people, even if there are officers and soldiers from the imperial court who come to rescue us, I am afraid it will not go well."

Zhao Yunze was silent for a while and said, "This is indeed a very contradictory question. But Sun Daochang, you are also a benevolent person, you can't even bear to abandon the son of Liang Shidu, the big traitor, how can I, Zhao Yunze, bear to let the people of Datang be affected by myself Now, I can only take one step at a time. ”
