In the evening, a lonely camel rode alone on a flat post road in the distance.

Now that the world is in turmoil, and the war is full of disasters, even the caravan no longer travels far in order to avoid the disaster, and there will be no one else on this post road except the army's envoys, so that a lone traveler is more and more suspicious.

Feng Changqing's secret sentry had already discovered the lonely camel rider and hurriedly went to report to the general.

"Oh," Feng Changqing immediately instructed the secret whistle when he heard about it, "You immediately bring six or seven people and invite this camel guest to me." ”

Not long after Feng Changqing gave the order, the sentries went down the mountain and arrested this person as a tongue, and the five flowers were tied up and sent to the original strongly.

This person wore a pointed felt hat and dressed as a Sogdian Hu, and came to Feng Changqing with a calm face. When General Feng saw it, he hurriedly ordered: "Quickly untie Cao Senjun." ”

Cao Anding moved his sour arms and said to Feng Changqing: "General Feng is really fast, the convoy escorting the property will depart from Guanxi Post early tomorrow morning, and it is expected to arrive here before noon." It's just that in broad daylight, General Yu's actions are not good. ”

Feng Changqing smiled heartily: "We are bandits, so naturally we want to rob him in broad daylight." ”

He immediately gave an order to the soldiers: "Sleep well tonight, eat and drink enough tomorrow morning, and prepare to go down the mountain to steal goods." ”

The soldiers were in high spirits and praised again and again.

In fact, this is just a thoughtful word, and now it is early winter, and the temperature difference between day and night is very large. The soldiers carried only two sheep felts around them, and there were very few people carrying quilts, and when the autumn wind hit at night, the cold west wind blew the soldiers who were lying on the ground from the inside out.

In the early morning of the second day, the soldiers began to move their muscles and bones and eat in advance, and the people who were usually reluctant to eat cured meat nibbled on an extra piece to treat themselves, and then quickly entered the ambush position and crawled down.

Soon there were flag-bearing vehicles on the post road in the distant plains, and the dust kicked up by the wheels was blowing one after another, and each car was hung with flags, and nearly two hundred rebels escorted them in front and behind.

When they drove to the original bottom, Feng Changqing immediately led a team to rush down the hill to cut off the retreat of the convoy, and he led a small number of teams to stop in front.

The rebels drew their blades or drew their bows and crossbows one after another, and they did not show much panic in the face of this Tang army that suddenly appeared in front of them.

The generals in charge of the escort were full of thoughts, thinking that this was the control area of their Yan army, and this Tang army that suddenly appeared seemed very strange. He rode out of the array and crossed his hands with a big grin: "Brothers Tang Jun, which team are you?" ”

Feng Changqing ordered a rough man to step forward and shout: "Can you handle it?" Leave all the food in the car! ”

The generals thought that they had already guessed the identities of these Tang troops, and said with a smile: "Could it be the remnants of the defeated Geshu Hantong Pass?" Hiding in this Qinling Mountain and being a bandit? ”

The rough man pretended to be speechless, and the faces of Feng Changqing and the others also changed suddenly, which seemed to confirm the general's guess. His momentum and courage gradually grew, and he said with a smile: "We have some surplus food, and some coils, which can be handed over to you as road money, but the things in the car cannot be given to you." ”

"You send the begging for food! Leave the car for me and fuck off! ”

The rebel general said calmly: "Don't blame me for not warning you, the goods on this cart were all brought to General Niu Tingju, who was stationed in Tongguan, General Niu is the righteous son of Emperor Shengwu, and there are 20,000 horses under his command in Tongguan. You can hide under his nose near Huayin and Tongguan, it is his old man who is too lazy to swatt flies, if you kill and rob his family property to let him know, even if he overturns the entire Qinling Huashan, he will arrest your subordinates. Therefore I advise you to be self-aware, and do not be greedy for what you should not be greedy. ”

Feng Changqing suddenly let out a sneer: "If we kill all of you, won't no one know who robbed this property?" ”

The general's face changed instantly, and he quickly withdrew to the team and shouted: "Protect the convoy." ”

"Do it!"

The Tang army was full of bows and crossbows, and the rebels also threw sporadic angular bows, but in the end, they quickly retreated to the rear, only to realize that the back road had been cut off.

He waved his horizontal knife from his horse and shouted: "Brothers, twenty or thirty miles further is Tongguan, rush out to Tongguan to move rescue soldiers!" ”

He rushed out first, and the Tang army blocking the road as a group, Feng Changqing personally commanded the soldiers to fight, after a short fierce battle, only three or four people escaped from the Tang army's interception, running towards the direction of Tongguan.

Li Chongbao wanted to rush over to kill the enemy several times, but was stopped by Feng Changqing and said: "There will be a place for you to fight in the future, don't be in a hurry to make a move." ”

When the enemy had fled, he took the horned bow from his horse, stretched out his bow and shot the last man who fled far away in the heart. The rebel staggered on horseback and eventually fell.

Feng Changqing clapped his hands and praised: "Childe is good at archery, and riding and archery will definitely be a must in the future." ”

Li Chongbao was rarely praised by others, and held the bow behind him and said: "Uncle Feng should believe in my martial arts now, although my nephew does not dare to say that he is one enemy and one hundred, but it is no problem to kill the enemy in the army to protect himself." ”

Feng Changqing saw that he was proud, so he came up with the idea of testing him: "A general should not only be brave and good at fighting, but also need to be outstanding." And I ask thee, where shall we take the goods which we have robbed? ”

"Uncle Feng, my nephew has the courage to give advice. These belongings are like fishhooks, hooking the consciousness of the rebel generals in Tongguan. When we have them, we have the initiative, and we can fight him wherever we want. ”

Feng Changqing smiled and nodded: "The children can be taught." ”

……

In the conference hall of the main city building of the eastern city wall of Tongguan, the guard Niu Tingjie sat on a tiger skin bed, his eyes were as big as copper bells, and the black mustaches at the corners of his lips were upturned in anger, pointing at the generals kneeling on the ground and reprimanding: "My goods can be lost for me!" You're a stupid pig! Don't think that if you are Sun Xiaozhe's people, I will show mercy to me, and pull the three of them out for me and cut them down! ”

The three of them hurriedly touched their heads to the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy: "The general spares his life, the general spares his life!" ”

Deputy General Niu Tingjie also persuaded on the side: "General Niu, the three of them are also unintentional. With the humble position, it is better to let them go back and inform Sun Xiaozhe, with General Sun's closeness to you, he will definitely prepare another property for you. ”

Niu Tingjie clutched his chest and said with a pain in his chest: "You still don't know about these people, if it weren't for the fact that they couldn't be looted in the end, they wouldn't have thought of preparing money for me." This is my goods lost in Tongguan, even if he is willing to prepare, the value of the money is far worse than the loss of this batch! It's all these three bastards! It's okay not to kill, let's fight a hundred military sticks first! ”

After the general who was kneeling on the ground said that Rao kowtowed three times in a row, he raised his head and said, "General Niu, these goods can actually be recovered!" It was a group of Tongguan troops who robbed your goods, just on the Fengyi Plain, they hid near Huashan and became bandits, and they all recorded their appearances and were willing to lead the way to find the goods back. ”

The executioner was about to drag them to the execution, when Niu Tingjie suddenly raised his hand and said, "You just said that they ambushed you on the Wind Wing Plain, and this place is only twenty or thirty miles away from my Tongguan, and it is really a fly under my nose." Then I'll take the troops out! Let you find the way to chase people and chase back the goods! ”

The adjutant general was suspicious in his heart, and asked the general who was kneeling on the ground: "How many people are there, how are they armed, and how are the horses?" ”

"General Qiyu, it seems to be two thousand? Or is it more than three thousand? It seemed to be well-armed, and there were more than six hundred horses. ”

The adjutant general turned his head again to persuade Niu Tingjie: "General Niu, I think it's quite suspicious, how can the Tongguan rout gather so many people?" There are so many people and horses, why don't you go to the northwest and Lingwu to join the Tang army, but rob the road under the nose of the general? I don't think the general needs to act rashly and wait until someone is sent to investigate. ”

"Wait until the investigation stops, the daylilies are cold! I'm gone! Where do you have so many suspicions, I will lead 8,000 people to go out and take the goods back, and leave 1,000 people for you to watch the house! Do it! ”
