In fact, when Li Yan brought Li Erniu's order to the camp where Calhanlu was located, he was very confused, and several people who were cautious in the cold almost broke into the other party's temporary camp without realizing it.

When Li Yan returned to Li Erniu's side with three scouts, it was already a full hour later.

Compared to the cold, not to mention Mars, there was no light in Calhanlu, and in the small camp of the Tang Army in the rear, the scouts lit two fires with the coal they carried.

Seeing Li Yan, who was passively blue and swollen and a little dazed, Li Erniu, who probably knew the number in his heart, did not rush to inquire about the situation, but first asked them to take a good rest, drink some soup, eat some meat, roast the fire, and rest.

Taking the soup handed over by Li Erniu, Li Yan sat down a little dazed......

A quarter of an hour later, after drinking two bowls of hot soup and gradually recovering, Li Yan told Li Erniu about the situation and expressed his doubts.

"About five miles from here is where the other party is camping, and now it's about half an hour to walk......

After hearing the news brought by Li Yan and understanding that everything was exactly the same as what he had estimated, Li Erniu breathed a sigh of relief, and did not ask too much, but told Li Yan and the three of them to have a good rest.

Two hours later, the detachment of scouts began to move forward in the night.

"Li Zhonglang, the location has arrived, less than a mile further away, it is the location of the enemy's camp, according to my observation, the other party did not send a sentry, as for whether there is a secret sentry, it is difficult to say."

Hearing Li Yan cautiously say his judgment, especially when he heard the word dark whistle, Li Erniu didn't hold back, and laughed.

Although I don't know where the other party came from, judging from the fact that the other party didn't even light a fire in this ice and snow, the other party's state is obviously worse than he expected.

If the other party deliberately does not light the fire, but wants to lure himself into the bait, then the other party's vigilance and scheming are too terrifying, and it really reaches that level, and I am afraid that my own people will die......

Thinking back on all the details of today, Li Erniu made a bold guess that those guys who slept in the ice and snow were probably exiled for some reason.

Li Erniu's laughter made Li Yan frown.

Looking at Li Yan's face that didn't know whether he was dissatisfied or was frozen with a little convulsions, Li Erniu said with a smile.

"Li Yan, do you dare to make a bet with me?"

"Bet on what?"

"Don't talk about the dark whistle, I feel that even if you swagger back and forth in the entire camp of the other party, I'm afraid no one will pay attention to you."

, as soon as this sentence came out, Li Yan became angry directly.

In the Changying Army, under normal circumstances, no one would bet with Guo Rong or Li Erniu.

The reason is simple, the style of these two people is just too steady.

Steadily, one thing is clearly ten percent sure, and two people have to say that there is a seventy or eighty percent possibility.

In everything, if there is not enough certainty, these two people will go to great lengths to prepare, to investigate, and will never talk nonsense until they get accurate information.

As far as Guo Rong and Li Erniu are concerned, when they decide to bet with you, then you are 100% going to lose, and there is absolutely no second possibility.

Of course, no matter what era or place, there is no shortage of dolls with iron heads.

Knowing that these two people had never lost a bet, some people didn't believe in evil and went to send money to these two people one after another.

Generally speaking, Li Yan will not participate in this kind of thing that he knows will lose.

But now, Li Erniu actually said that the other party would not even react, which is obviously a big support, this kind of thing is variable.

"Good! Bet on what?"

"How's next month's salary?" You're not going to suffer, are you?"

"That's a month's salary, in case the undefeated golden body is broken, I just hope that Li Zhonglang won't feel distressed at that time!"

"A gentleman's word!"

"Fast horse

A whip!"

"Okay, you take three people up, scout carefully, if you find someone who is abnormal, kill it directly, and count me as losing!"

"If there is no movement, then you walk around, if no one still finds your traces, or finds and ignores you, you just catch a few people back, everyone is arrested, and no one pays attention to you, so you lose, how about it?"

"Good!"

After that, Li Yan did not delay, and took a few of his subordinates to the side of the camp cautiously, observed the environment, and determined a few positions that were easy to lurk sentries.

Then, under Li Yan's instructions, several scouts carefully touched it, and after holding their breath for dozens of breaths, Li Yan heard a few soft insect chirpings and bird calls.

Well, although the sound of insects and birds chirping is very abrupt and unharmonious in this icy and snowy place, this is the most common contact code used by the scouts of the Changying Army.

Hearing these insect chirps, Li Yan sighed silently, and sure enough, it was the same as Li Erniu said, not only did there be no open whistle, but also no secret whistle, so Li Yan reluctantly walked up from his position, and slowly and cautiously walked into the other party's camp.

After entering the camp that had been emptied of snow, Li Yan felt his breath, then squinted his eyes and carefully examined the situation in the camp with the help of the snowy white snow in the moonlight.

There was no smell of fireworks in the small camp, and it was extremely cold, except for a few people lying scattered, and the rest of the people were hugging each other tightly to keep warm.

Li Yan, who was originally cautious, suddenly found that he might be thinking too much, and Li Erniu might really be right.

Of course, this did not mean that all of them were asleep, on the contrary, Li Yan could hear some moaning softly, and saw many people's bodies shivering in the cold wind.

It's just that Li Yan feels that these guys who are about to freeze to death will most likely not take care of themselves, or that they have no ability to restrain themselves at all.

At the same time, there is another thing that Li Yan can't accept, among the people who are hugging in a circle to keep warm, the innermost person is not the man he thinks.

On the contrary, all the men seem to be wrapped in the middle, and on the contrary, it is the women and children who wrap them up......

However, now is obviously not the time to study whether this is reasonable, grab a few tongues, return quickly, and let Liu Erniu decide the next move as soon as possible.

Originally, Li Yan was going to do it to those who didn't sleep too much, after all, one person was much easier to deal with than a group of people, and it was difficult to start with several people who were hugged tightly in a group.

However, when Li Yan touched someone's side and was about to reach out and pinch the other party's neck, his hand suddenly froze.

Because what he could touch was a piece of coldness, his hands were cold, his legs were cold, his body was cold, his heart was cold, and the guy with only a thin layer of clothes had been frozen to death for no longer knowing how long.

At this moment, Li Yan felt that his heart was also cold.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yan, who did not believe in evil, touched the second and third ......

After four people in a row, Li Yan, who finally died, let out a long insect chirping, and then several scouts slowly followed.

Then, a few people found a group of people who were closest to the direction of departure.

Looking at this hugging together, even six or seven people who are big and small, Li Yan's scalp is numb, this kind of tongue grabbing is really the first time in the world.

After pondering carefully, everyone took out the dagger in their arms at the same time, and after selecting each target, Li Yan's dagger went directly to the throat of the man in the middle.

As if feeling the cold texture of the dagger, the man in the middle suddenly twitched, and even the few people around him began to move, Li Yan's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he said in Turkic.

"Don't make a sound, or you'll all die!"

The moment he heard this, the man in the middle stopped his body movements, and then several people around him settled down.

Li Yan didn't dare to relax in any way, dagger

It's still stuck in the middle of each other's necks.

"Stand up one by one and don't make a sound......

However, gradually, Li Yan found that he seemed to have thought a little too much, and the other party had no intention of resisting at all.

Under the guidance of the strongest man in the middle, everyone was very cooperative, and without making a sound, they followed the scouts honestly, well-mannered, and trembling hand in hand.

This kind of weird thing is extremely weird, and it is completely beyond the scope of Li Yan's understanding, giving Li Yan a feeling of seeing a ghost.

With the extreme cooperation of the captives, the group quickly returned to the place where Li Erniu and others were lurking.

Li Erniu, who was lurking, looked at the six or seven people under the escort thoughtfully, and while letting Li Yan rest for a while, Li Erniu asked questions to the tallest alien man in the middle.

I don't know if it's because of panic or because of the cold, the other party's expression is a little unclear, but after just a few words, Li Erniu got the answer he wanted the most, and the identity of the other party was determined: the banished!

The identity was determined, and Li Erniu's next move was quickly determined.

Half of the manpower, twenty people, escorted seven or eight aliens to the rear, and Li Erniu gave them the task of lighting a fire, cooking, and cooking soup.

And Li Erniu is leading the remaining twenty people, including Li Yan, forward.

A quarter of an hour later, under the leadership of Li Yan, the cautious group had already entered the other party's camp, and according to the information said by the group of people who had been captured before, Li Erniu and Li Yan appeared accurately next to Calhanlu with the group.

Tormented by worry, sleepiness, and exhaustion, Calhanlu, who had finally fallen asleep, was suddenly woken up.

Full of resentment and anger, Calhanlu was about to get angry, but he was directly put on his neck by the horizontal knife in Li Erniu's hand, and he felt the chill of the horizontal knife, and Calhanlu's go-up qi disappeared instantly.

Glancing around from the corner of his eye, Calhanlu was stunned to find that he had been surrounded by a group of people, and beads of sweat instantly broke out on his forehead and back, stabilizing his mind, Calhanlu spoke.

"Who are you? Why did you attack me?"

If you just listen to the tone of your voice, it seems that it is not him who is surrounded, looking at this guy's reaction and style, Li Erniu and Li Yan made the same judgment, this guy is not simple, so Li Erniu decided to dry this guy.

Then, after asking his own question, Calhanlu was surprised to find that no one around him answered his question, one, two, three...... At first, Calhanlu Haicheng calmed down, but as time went on, gradually Calhanlu became a little flustered.

Coupled with the horizontal knife and the constant coolness of the cold wind, gradually Calhanlu has been slightly swinging.

Until this moment, Li Erniu smiled with satisfaction, and then Calhanlu heard a voice coming from the left rear.

"I asked, you answered, understand?"

A relieved Charhanlu nodded suddenly.

"What's your name?"

"Calhanlu, Ashina Hakan Calhanlu!"

In fact, if you talk about origin, Charhanlu is not an ordinary person, because his surname is Ashina, and he is a descendant of the Western Turkic royal family.

To be precise, he belonged to a branch of the Western Turkic royal family, and in the second year of longevity (693), the branch where Charhanlu was located followed the then restored Western Turkic Khan Ashina and joined the Tibetan army to attack Wuzhou.

After the complete collapse of the Western Turks, the family of Charhanlu developed relatively well in the process of moving westward, and even had a marriage with the Persian Empire at its peak, and his status among the descendants of the Western Turks was not low, and he could even claim to be the prince of the Western Turks if he wanted.

However, all this after the rise of the Great Cannibals......

Even the former Persia has become a thing of the past, let alone them.

In fact, in order to avoid the pursuit of the Great Cannibals, they had to take refuge in the territory of the Zhaowu Nine Surnames, and then moved all the way east, but the Great Cannibals, the Zhaowu Nine Surnames, the Tubo people, and the Qarluq people

None of the Uighurs were anything good.

The hundreds of people who followed Calhanlu were already all of the once huge family, and even Calhanlu almost became slaves of the Tibetans.

It was such a desperate fellow, who was not a big man by any means, who, with the help of an almost non-existent opportunity, took advantage of the magpie's nest and almost brought the Western Turks back to life in the Uighurs.

If not at the last minute......

"That damn old man of Mainan, if I have the chance, I will definitely break him to pieces, and the damned Uighurs, I, Calhanlu, will make them pay!"

After being expelled from the Chebi tribe by Donnarumma and Maignan, Calhanlu fell into a deep confusion about himself, his family, and his own people.

After being banished, the reason why the direction of travel was eastward was because the tooth tent where the princess of the Tang Dynasty, about three hundred miles to the east, had become his only hope now.

Maignan said that they were allowed to take away the goods, but in fact the existing things were obtained by Calhanlu after kowtowing and confessing his sins.

They didn't carry much supplies at all, and if they were fast enough, they might be able to reach the tent before everyone froze to death, saving their lives.

Except for scolding Magnan and the Uighurs, Calhanlu, who led his people on a difficult trek, had no way to vent, but as time went on, when night was about to fall, Calhanlu did not even have the strength to curse.

Before it was dark, he led his people to clear a clearing, and everyone in the entire team fell......

Calhanlu is not a mediocre talent, if in normal times, the brigade is marching outside, no matter what, he will arrange the minimum guards, and even personally arrange the secret sentry, otherwise if they can walk through the vast grassland, they can avoid countless pursuits and attacks.

However, today, Calhanlu is really tired, and he doesn't think that at this moment, there will be a force of soldiers and horses waiting in the ice and snow, waiting for his negligence to sneak attack him.

Of course, if there is, he admits it.

Then, Calhanlu begged for a hammer, but it turned out that it was right not to be guarded, otherwise their hundreds of men might not survive until dawn in the hands of a few dozen elite scouts.

Inquiries in the camp continued.

"Ashina Hakan Calhanlu?"

"Yes!"

"Are you Turkic?"

"Yes!"

"Eastern Turks? Western Turks?"

"Western Turks!"

"What do you have to do with the Decipher?"

"Two years ago, we defected to the Chebi tribe while we were fighting on the grasslands."

"Don't the people of the Deed know your last name?"

"I don't know, I didn't tell them."

"Why did you leave the Deedbibe?"

"Because I wanted to turn the chief of the Qibi tribe into a puppet, I came to revive my Western Turks, but I was too anxious, and I was discovered by the elders of the Qibi tribe, and then I was expelled from the Qibi tribe."

"If you don't meet us, where are you going to take your people?"

"Tooth tent!"

"Why?"

"The Khotun of the previous khan is the princess of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty is reviving, they will not give up the grassland, let alone their princess, I want to revive the Western Turks without the support of the Tang Dynasty, I understand the Great Food, the Western Regions, the grassland, the Uighurs, I am useful to the Tang Dynasty."

Hearing this, Li Erniu and Li Yan looked at each other and smiled, they were still found out, this kid is a smart person.

Smart people naturally have good places, after all, there are hundreds of people here, and there are only twenty of them, if they are determined to escape, it will be difficult to take them all......

So, Li Erniu put away the Turkic language and used the Tang accent.

"When did you find out that we were Tang?"

"I knew it from the beginning."

"Huh? How do you know

？」

"This is, Don Horizontal Knife!"

After thinking for a while, Li Erniu glanced at Li Yan next to him, and saw that Li Yan nodded, Li Erniu recovered the horizontal knife, and at the same time directly revealed his identity.

"My name is Li Erniu, the lieutenant general of the Changying Army!"

This simple sentence made Calhanlu excited all of a sudden, and his previous composure and calmness were gone, and he was shocked, and even had a little joy.

"The Long Silky Army? Isn't that the forbidden army of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty? How did you come to Mobei? Have you received a request for help from the princess of the Tang Dynasty? Could it be that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is already preparing to attack the grassland?"

This series of questions said in Tang Yin made Li Erniu and Li Yan shocked again, the two of them had a very good judgment of the guy in front of them, but now it seems that they still underestimated this guy.

"That's not what you should know by now!"

"Huh? Oh oh oh, get it! Li Zhonglang doesn't know what I can do, but whenever possible, I, Calhanlu, will definitely do my best!"

Li Erniu: ......

Li Yan: ......

"Now call your men and follow us!"

"Good!"

After agreeing, Calhanlu immediately got up, scolding and shouting, and the originally cold camp instantly became lively.

A quarter of an hour later, more than forty corpses that had been completely frozen, and more than 600 of the Chalhanlu subordinates who were still alive, followed by the scouts, walked slowly.

After an hour of command, the group arrived at the camp where the scouts had rested, and the twenty scouts and several of their subordinates who had arrived early were fully prepared.

A few coal-lit fires were burning, and those who had been freezing all day were finally feeling warm.
