Chapter 346: Diverting Halfway
In Qiuzi City, Li Siye was also moving to Shule Town, and the jumping battalion and the battle front team had been assembled on the banks of the White Horse River, and he called the pro-soldiers team led by Yan Xiaosi over, which was regarded as taking advantage of a little privilege to let the pro-soldiers help him move.
The biggest burden on a man's body is his home, which can be seen from moving. He used two horse-drawn carts and three ox carts to carry his belongings. In fact, he didn't have much of his own, and he could carry it on the back of a black and fat horse. The two daughters in the family who carried the most things were the twelve mothers and Li Meier.
Mei'er ran back and forth between the carriage and the yard, constantly checking her things, and called out to the two old maids: "Aunt Wu, let's see if I have brought my makeup." ”
"Little lady, take it, I have already ordered someone to put it in the ox cart."
"And my grape roots, go and see it! Don't let anything else crush you. ”
"No problem, no problem, oops."
"And the tea set basket!"
The soldiers rushed out of the courtyard carrying the belongings, and the contents of the carts were properly placed before they were tightly tied with hemp ropes.
Li Siye fed and drank the black fat and Qingqi to their heart's content, and saddled them. The two stones and eight buckets of pepper have been loaded into the carriage by Twelve Niang, and the horse is carrying three sets of armor since he entered Anxi, fine scales, black hammer and mountain script, as well as a horizontal knife and a Mo knife.
He led the horse out of the backyard, but just looked up at the yard and didn't pay much attention. Life is always on the journey, so why be attached to a temporary harbor.
"Are you ready?"
Yan Xiaosi ran over quickly, and said with a forked hand: "It's all loaded into the car, and you can leave at any time." ”
"Close the gate, affix the seal of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and we'll go."
"Whoa."
The sparkling sound of the carriage sounded, Li Meier lifted the curtain, and looked up at the courtyard of the combination of the dome and the flat-roofed house, this is already a memory of her life, but unfortunately she left too hastily and didn't have time to say goodbye to her girlfriends, she actually has no other friends, only Cheng Wansu's wife. But Cheng Wansu seems to have disappeared recently, and went to her house to look for it, and the servants also shirked that the lady was not at home, and they didn't know when they would be able to meet her again.
The team drove out of the West City Gate, went twenty miles to the west out of Tuoju Pass, and came to the bank of the White Horse River. More than 1,200 people from the jumping battalion and the vanguard were already lined up and waiting on the riverside. After Li Siye waved his hand and gave the order to pull out, he crossed the White Horse River in a mighty way.
They passed through the Jubira moraine, and also arrived at the city of Dip ten days later. Li Siye ordered everyone to rest in the city for the night, and he went to the city to check the situation.
Looking down from the direction of the main city tower, the camps garrisoned by each regiment have been emptied, and only one regiment is left scattered and stationed at the gates of the four cities, which means that Zhao Chonghuan took away more than 800 people, plus the guards who protected Shi Xin, a total of 1,800 people, with so many people guarding, how could Shi Xin be besieged and killed by the Turks?
He came down from the wall, his right eyelid throbbing, and he always felt that something was wrong.
It's that I'm too hasty and relieved, if there is an emergency, if the sudden ride of Shi Hemo is out of the nest, since it can be foolproof, why let this loss exist?
He led the horse back to the place where everyone was camped, and instructed Yan Xiaosi, "Call the sixth lieutenant over." ”
Xiao Si immediately went to give the order.
Tian Zhen was already the captain of the front team at this time, and the other two were Captain Zhang Mao and Captain Li Kang. On the side of the jumping camp are Qiu Luan, Duan Xiushi and Zhao Congfang. He called the six people to the room of the post station, and said, "I'm afraid that the team escorting Shi Xin will be besieged, so our route has also changed." Zhao Congfang, you led the three jumping regiments to Shule Town with a certain family member first, Tian Zhen, Zhang Mao, Li Kang, Qiu Luan, Duan Xiushi, you set off with me, and chased the Khan team along the route. ”
"Whoa!"
……
Black clouds piled up on the horizon of the sky, as if a thunderstorm was brewing there, and the city was immersed in the night, and the winding stars only showed a little star in the clouds. Li Siye was going to take the team away at night, so as not to alarm Mei'er and Twelve Niang, who were asleep.
He lightly touched the door of the pavilion, beckoned the captains to lead their horses, and the soldiers lined up at the gate of the east city to wait. The Twelfth Regiment left behind in the city was providing them with information such as the time and direction of the departure of the troops led by Zhao Chonghuan's envoy.
Yan Xiaosi brought the two horses over and whispered, "I've already fed them." ”
Li Siye nodded, put the bag of dry food, weapons, and sheep felt on the black fat, turned over and rode on the green horse, grabbed the reins of the two horses with one hand and said, "Let's go." ”
"Brother,"
A soft voice came from the door of the post house, and Twelve Niang and Li Mei'er followed out of the door, wearing white middle singles, holding loose clothes in one hand, and came to Li Siye, one high and one low, standing side by side.
"Brother, heir, where are you going, why are you leaving late at night? Is there going to be war again?"
The night wind was cold, making the two of them shiver, the buns on their heads were a little scattered, and they involuntarily leaned on each other, waiting for Li Siye to answer.
"Well, that's right, it's a small battle, don't worry, I'm now the town guard of the two towns, and I don't have to play in person." He leaned down from his horse and whispered, "It's cold outside, let's go back."
"Let's go back."
Twelve Niang nodded vigorously, and walked back with Mei'er's hand, looking back, as if waiting for his words.
Li Siye tightened the reins of the horse, and couldn't help but speak: "Twelve Niang."
She quickly turned around, and the long hair that was coiled around her head with a copper hairpin fell down like a black ribbon on her chest, and her face was as bright as the moon.
"Hmm."
"When I come back from Biansai Julan City, you and I will marry in Shule Town, and I will write a letter to your teacher and tell her."
Laugh lines spread from the corners of Twelve Niang's eyes, and her pupils were more visible in the middle of the night, but they reflected tears, she raised the back of her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, and nodded vigorously.
Li Siye thought to himself, it is really guilty to watch, our fate line is so entangled. He waved at them again: "It's windy, go back!"
"Drive!"
Li Siye urged the black fat to run dozens of steps, turned around from the horse and turned back, the two had already moved to the window on the second floor, leaning out and looking at it from afar.
The gate of the city was dark, the neighing of horses and the sound of footsteps were endless, and the soldiers began to distribute the torches, and Tian Zhen lit the torches stained with grease and handed them to Li Siye.
The beating fire outlining the outline of the team, Li Siye took the lead with the torches, and the remaining soldiers in the city closed and opened the door, and the queue passed through the door like a galaxy stream and rushed into the vast night.
