Chapter 34: Caravans

Huo Gang's arrival was discovered by Gongsun Lin's guards stationed here as soon as possible, and after getting Huo Gang's order, Gongsun Lin gathered his troops as soon as possible, although he didn't know when the enemy would attack, but in case, of course, it was better to gather the team.

For Gongsun Lin's troops, it's just a night without sleeping, it's nothing.

They naturally have their way of resting, and resting with armor is a common thing for elite troops.

However, what surprised Huo Gang was that when he came here, he found that there was a group of faint yellow points of light on the spirit of the Jade Gate, which Huo Gang hadn't noticed before, because this group of faint yellow points of light was too close to Gongsun Lin's green points of light, and they were almost overlapped, so it was difficult to find.

"General." It happened that Gongsun Lin had already gathered his troops and rushed to report.

"Do you have someone else here?" Huo Gang immediately asked.

"Yes, my subordinates are just going to send cavalry to report tomorrow, and a caravan has entered our range around the evening today, because it is getting late, so they are now resting in our camp, and the Datang caravan has returned from the Western Regions, because the general has explained that there is a caravan to report as soon as it arrives, so the last general has not yet dealt with them." Gongsun Lin immediately spoke.

Huo Gang paused for a moment, miscalculated. In other words, the subconscious mind kills people! Huo Gang always thought that the Western Regions was the Silk Road, so the caravan would play a great role in his next development, so the first caravan would play a great role for Huo Gang, because it was a living signboard.

But Huo Gang subconsciously thought that the caravan of the Tang Dynasty was going to the Western Regions, so Huo Gang's focus had always been on the side of Dunhuang County, but he forgot that there was also a caravan returning from the Western Regions, isn't it a coincidence?

But it's not too late, after thinking about it, Huo Gang felt that he wanted to talk to the shopkeeper of this caravan.

"Do they know what we're all about?" Huo Gang asked.

"I don't know, my subordinates didn't say anything, and they didn't know about our army." Gongsun Lin immediately replied.

"Take me there." Huo Gang nodded, and directly turned over and got on the horse.

"Yes! General, please come with me. Gongsun Lin immediately turned around and got on his horse, and took Huo Gang to the location where the caravan was camping.

When Huo Gang approached the location where these caravans were camped, he found that the entire caravan had woken up, which was normal, but none of the caravans that could come and go in the Western Regions was simple, and the necessary vigilance was absolutely necessary, otherwise, on this Gobi Desert, people could die at any time.

Huo Gang's arrival and Gongsun Lin's gathering of troops made such a big move, how could these caravans not be alert?

In fact, the person in charge of the caravan has always been in a state of vigilance, Zheng Ning, as the leader of the caravan, when he went to the Western Regions, it was still the territory of the Turks, but when he returned, the person in charge here became a Han Chinese.

Although it is said that the other party and him are both Han Chinese, but this was originally a Turkic tribe, but it suddenly became Han people, and at first glance it was obvious that they were soldiers, which obviously underwent major changes here.

Even if the other party and him are both Han Chinese, Zheng Ning doesn't dare to take it lightly, the wealth is moving, do you think there are no Han people among the horse thieves? In fact, it is in the city of Acre, which is a veritable chaotic city in the western domain, a city where all kinds of thieves and fugitives and horse thieves gather, and most of the horse thief groups there have Han Chinese.

It's very simple, because these horse thieves rob whether you are from the caravan of the Tang Dynasty or the Hu merchants, so they will absorb some Han people, which will help them interrogate more information.

So even in the face of these Han people, Zheng Ning did not dare to take it lightly, although their caravan totaled nearly two hundred people, but Zheng Ning did not dare to relax at all.

When there was the sound of horses' hooves in the dark night, and a large group of people and horses gathered, Zheng Ning, who had not rested, woke up as soon as possible, and gathered everyone in the caravan, and lit torches, and everyone surrounded the camels in a circle, in a defensive posture, these horses' hooves don't know what is going on, but no matter how you look at it, it is not good news.

Finally, when a group of people came out of the darkness on horseback, and then the light of the torches around them, Zheng Ning saw that the leader was the same general they had seen before, but there were people behind him.

"General Gongsun, I don't know what you're doing on this big night!" Without waiting for the other party to come over, Zheng Ning spoke directly and loudly.

"General Huo has arrived, and General Huo wants to talk to you." Gongsun Lin didn't talk nonsense at all, but spoke directly.

Hearing this, Zheng Ning immediately thought of what had happened before.

When he first came here in the evening, he had already tried it, and wanted to take the initiative to give the other party some benefits, but the other party refused, but told them that the leader of the other party was not here, but on the side of the ruins of Yumen Pass, and would send someone to inform their leader tomorrow, as for the follow-up, their leader needed to make a decision.

To be honest, when he heard this, Zheng Ning was extremely regretful, if he had known, he would rather spend twenty more days to go north and detour than go here, because no one knew whether the leader of the other party would be black and black, and judging from the dozens of cavalry beside Gongsun Lin next to him, the other party was obviously extremely elite.

What's more, the other party doesn't seem to be a soldier of Datang! If it is the army of the Tang Dynasty, the other party should hang the banner of the Tang Dynasty, but the flag hanging here is a Huo character.

The thought flashed in his mind, and Zheng Ning also took a step forward generously, walked out of their defensive formation, and arched his hand at Gongsun Lin's side and spoke loudly.

"Dare to ask, which one is General Huo?"

Although he shouted like this, Zheng Ning's eyes were always focused on Huo Zheng's body, mainly because this one was wearing the same armor as Gongsun Lin, but it was all black, and it seemed to be a little more powerful, because it was obviously the same as Mingguang armor, but even the metal piece was black.

As for the one next to him...... I didn't even wear any armor, so I shouldn't be in charge.

However, what made Zheng Ning different was that as soon as his voice fell, the horse under the crotch of the only man who was not wearing leather armor over there walked directly forward, while General Gongsun and another black-armored general he had seen before fell behind him on both sides.

At this time, Zheng Ning noticed that the horse under this crotch was too tall! And the overall figure is extremely strong, he has been to the Sassanid Dynasty Tang also called it the Great Food, in fact, Zheng Ning knows that for the Tang Dynasty, the statement of the Great Food is not accurate, all the countries in the Sassanid Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty is called the Great Food.

He had also been to Daqin, also known as Lin (Eastern Roman Empire), and he had seen horses there that were taller and more handsome than Turkic horses, perhaps the legendary sweaty horses, but Zheng Ning was sure that none of those horses had this handsome horse!

Just rush this horse, although this person seems to be dressed very ordinary, but his status should not be bad.
