Chapter 219: A Chance Encounter in Dunhuang City

"A great victory at the front! Our army broke 50,000 from 3,000 to 50,000, and won the first battle! ”

As soon as he arrived in Suzhou, an urgent report came back, and the small grain transportation team was boiling instantly, Lu Chengqing took the military report, laughed and said: "There are His Royal Highness King Zhao and General Yuwen two peerless masters in charge, plus my Tang Dynasty 3,000 Xuanjia, don't say that the enemy is 50,000, even 100,000 can come and go freely, expected!" It seems that this trip will go smoothly, and maybe there will be no need for a second shipment of grain at all. ”

"Lu Shilang, the last general will return to Chang'an, so he won't stay long." The messenger took his leave.

"Wait, the little princess has a letter from home, please ask the general to bring it back to His Royal Highness King Qin on her behalf."

After arranging everything, Lu Chengqing came over and told Xiao Doudou about the good news, and persuaded him: "Your Royal Highness the little princess, this Suzhou was called Dunhuang earlier, it was a famous city on my northwest border, and it was called Dunhuang in the early years. Now that the front line has been victorious, the pressure on our army has been reduced, and there is nothing to do, the princess can go to Suzhou City to take a look and visit the customs here. ”

Xiao Doudou asked curiously, "Really?" Is there anything delicious here? ”

"Uh...... The border is bitterly cold, and the food is somewhat scarce, of course, even if it is scarce, it is better than military rations. However, there are a lot of Buddhist temples and grottoes here, because they are located in the northwest, close to the Western Regions, Buddhism was first introduced into the Western Regions and then into the Middle Earth, and the Buddhism here is naturally prevalent. Many Buddhist monks built temples on the mountain, chiseled the wall for the cave to carve the Buddha statue, and over time it became a scene. Lu Chengqing said.

Xiao Doudou was obviously not interested, shook his head and said, "Buddha statue? What's so nice about a pile of dirt and stones, it's better to tell a story to the bald monk, hey, it's a pity that he was captured by the fourth uncle to fight. ”

Seeing that the little guy was not very happy, the captain of the guard, Li Ning'er, took the initiative to invite her to go shopping in the city to buy something, no one would refuse this proposal, Xiao Doudou readily agreed, so he set off with three hundred guards, it is estimated that this is the largest shopping in the row.

But more than 300 people, all riding horses, walking in the small Dunhuang City, not only seems crowded, but also frightens the people to run and flee, and even the shops are closed to avoid trouble, where is there still the atmosphere of shopping?

So under the strong suggestion of Xiao Doudou, the whole was divided into zero, 300 people changed into civilian clothes and dispersed, Xiao Doudou only brought a dozen people around, and gradually the street regained a trace of vitality, and the group bought some gadgets, and then came to the largest restaurant in the city to eat.

"Sister Ning'er, try it, this seems to be a dried fruit made of grapes, it tastes sweet and sour, so you can ...... it" Xiao Doudou said enthusiastically.

Several female guards smiled, and Li Ning'er nodded: "This is indeed a famous delicacy in the Western Regions, the Western Regions are rich in grapes, and after the fruit is ripe and picked, it will be dried and dried into raisins, this thing is an ordinary snack here, but when it is transported to Chang'an, the price is very expensive, it is not something that ordinary people can eat, the little princess likes it, then eat more, if it is not enough, I will ask the shopkeeper to serve another plate." ”

"Enough is enough, we will ask them for a bag after we finish eating, and we can eat it on the way."

…… Didn't you say enough? Why do you have to pack a bag with you?

"Hey, hurry up and report to the prince after eating, the prince is still witty, and knows that cutting off the enemy's grain route will turn defeat into victory, and now I heard that the Datang grain transportation team has arrived in Suzhou, as long as the specific location is found, hum, rob their grain and grass, and then their army will wait to starve to death."

In the corner of the tavern, a table of ordinary-dressed Western Turkic spies muttered quietly, their voices were very low, and they were Turkic, so basically no one could detect their identity, after all, this is the border, there are many people who come here to eat, there are Western Regions, grasslands, Datang, everywhere.

It's just a coincidence, there is such a person who can understand and have a good ear, it is none other than a pseudo-peerless master-Xiao Doudou.

"What's wrong, little princess? Did you eat grit? When this grape is dried, it is normal for it to be stained with a little dust because of the wind and sand, let me see it......" Seeing that Xiao Doudou suddenly stopped eating snacks, he hurriedly asked with concern.

Xiao Doudou lowered his voice and said, "Sister Ning'er, a few people over there, I heard them say that they seem to be going to rob our grain and grass." ”

What?

A few women stood up in an instant and looked into the corner, this movement was not small, and the spies were also startled, but when they looked up, a group of women? A few people laughed again, the women who came out to show up in this era are definitely not good people, maybe they have taken a fancy to our masters, but unfortunately, the uncles are not available today.

They would never have thought that there would be a woman in Datang as a soldier.

Li Ning'er scolded a few of her subordinates, and everyone sat down to eat again, Li Ning'er asked Xiao Doudou, "Little princess, how do you know?" Those people sat so far away that we didn't even hear them speak. ”

yes, it's still the captain who is wise, and almost got it wrong. Only then did a few of the guards realize that they had been sloppy.

Xiao Doudou explained: "I really heard that the Turkic dialect they speak is not the official dialect of our Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Ning'er hurriedly covered Xiao Doudou's mouth, "Little Ancestor, don't be so loud, scare away this group of scouts again, let's wait and see what happens, if they are really the scouts of the Western Turks, then we will come and follow them quietly to counter them." By the way, tell me how you heard it. ”

"It's so easy to hear, they say so loudly, don't talk about them, I can hear the kitchen cooks talking." Xiao Doudou spread his hands out, indicating that it was that simple.

Everyone was speechless, and it seemed that the little princess was talented.

"And how do you understand Turkic dialect?" Li Ning'er asked.

Xiao Doudou chuckled: "During the New Year, I didn't say what prince I beat them, at that time that guy was beaten a few wows and screamed, I didn't understand, and then I asked someone, it turned out to be Turkic, so I went to the root palace to learn a few old uncles who knew Turkic for a few days, Turkic is very simple, the more difficult is Tubo and Persian in the Western Regions......"

What? Learned Turkic in a few days? You even know Tibetan and Persian? Everyone was stunned, how old is this, how can your little brain hold so many things?

Xiao Doudou retold the other party's words as they were, and Li Ning'er immediately made a decision, first pressed the troops, and sent someone to transport the grain army to notify and strengthen the defense! He led people to quietly follow these scouts, and finally found out the strength of the enemy.

Originally, Xiao Doudou had to follow, but it was very demanding to be a scout and anti-reconnaissance, so this time Li Ning'er personally brought a few shrewd henchmen, and did not agree to Xiao Doudou to follow, the little guy could only complain and chew on the raisins and return to Ma Sanbao's women's legion to escort him.
