Chapter 11: The Inn's Horror
The white-armored scholar fulfilled his promise to the blind man, and after the blind man finished speaking, he asked the old man Liao Chonghai to send him to "an inn" again.
I didn't go to the blind man's side, the bones of the whole body fell apart, and the stomach turned over for a while, I only said that in this Yuelai Inn, after the blind man left, Li Yihuan immediately understood Chen Xun's "bad".
Chen Xun thought about it carefully, from the defeat and death of the Northwest Army to the fact that the grassland people have not committed any crime in Chaotian Pass, this is obviously more like a well-disciplined and well-trained operation, and the person who commanded this operation must not be simple.
Why? For thousands of years, the steppe people have been good at nomadic herding and free and loose by nature, and it is difficult to do the order and prohibition like the Daxing army. This is also the reason why the cavalry of the steppe people is strong, but in the face of the Daxing army, which is in strict battle, they have repeatedly suffered losses.
This situation was not changed until a tribe called Zaha in the steppe decades ago had a brave and unusual khan. The Zaha tribe is only a medium-sized tribe among the hundreds of tribes in the steppe, and each khanate of the tribe names himself after the tribe. Decades ago, the Zaha Khan rose rapidly, and it took only five years to unify hundreds of tribes throughout the steppe, and at the same time, with his own golden horde as the center, in a way similar to the construction of the Daxing Empire, he established one steppe yurt city after another.
But this is only the initial unification of the grassland, because the traditional combat methods of the grassland people, although they have a unified empire, they still have little chance of winning in front of the Daxing army.
However, looking at this time, it is clear that the actions of the steppe army are highly disciplined and neat and unified. Therefore, a person who can do this has overcome the nature of the grassland people for thousands of years, how can such a character be called simple?
Looking at what the blind man said tonight, the eyes of the grassland army were obviously not satisfied with the Chaotian Pass in front of them, and it would not even be the Northwest Road that was about to be in chaos. Their eyes are on the southerner end of the Northwest Road, Guannei Province, and even the imperial capital Chang'an, and even more, it may be the Jiangnan Province and Lingnan Road that have been Chengping for too long, and the entire Daxing Empire.
The steppe people acted quickly and came prepared, and did not intend to give the Daxing Empire much of a chance to react. Just imagine, if it is above the court, those adults still look at the grassland with the eyes of thousands of years, but they are afraid that this time Daxing will suffer too much. And this is also the reason why Chen Xun shouted badly.
"Master, Fourth Uncle" Chen Xun's mood was agitated, "Now, we can only leave Chaotian Pass quickly and inform General Chen Qiushui of Longyou Dao of today's news, or even report to the imperial capital."
The Baijia scholar had already told Chen Xun about his previous arrangements, but Wu Youfang ran suddenly, and the grassland people entered the customs more quickly, so whether it was Song Zhiyi who went to Longyou, or Zheng Wen and Zheng Wu who went to the grassland, he didn't have time to wait. Only the third child, Zhao Mo, was able to go south before the grassland people closed the city.
"Don't panic, your third uncle has already gone out of the city, and he will definitely be able to reach Longyou in two days. At that time, General Chen Qiushui knew that the grassland had entered Chaotian Pass, and he would definitely rush to support. Li Yihuan comforted him, but he also knew that without the imperial capital's troop transfer order, Chen Qiushui would never have sent troops. But that imperial capital, those adults? Li Yihuan sneered secretly in his heart.
"Xun'er is right, it's not a matter for us to be trapped in this city now, we have to find a way to get out" The white-armored scholar walked to Chen Xun and turned his back to the door, pointing out the window, "Tomorrow, I'll go out to investigate again."
Chen Xun followed the fingers of the white-armored scholar and looked out the window, although he didn't see the figure shaking, but just now, he himself clearly heard the sound of gold and iron.
Li Yihuan's eyes were grim, and he obviously heard the movement outside the window. was about to draw a knife and go out, but saw the white-armored scholar shake his head.
After about half a pillar of incense, there was no movement outside the door, and the Baijia scholar opened the door by himself, and the wind and rain did not stop, but there was no one outside the house.
"Boss, what's going on? Just now, there was clearly movement."
The white-armored scholar also looked puzzled, "Just now, they have already left."
"Is it a steppe man? It's strange that if the steppe people shouldn't have just left. Li Yihuan didn't understand what happened just now. The Baijia scholars and Chen Xun in the room still didn't understand.
"Why hasn't Uncle Eighth come back yet?"
According to Liao Chonghai's foot strength, he should have come back long ago after sending the blind man away, and when he "invited" the blind man to come over before, it was just a cup of tea, but now, there is about a stick of incense, but there is no one in sight, which is obviously a mistake.
Li Yihuan nodded to the other two, "I'll take a look."
...
After Liao Chonghai took the blind man from "an inn", a group of grassland soldiers dressed in robes and holding sharp knives were hiding in the shadow at the other end of the bluestone street. Although Liao Chonghai moved extremely fast, he still did not escape their surveillance.
Following the man with the man on his shoulder, the steppe soldiers followed gently all the way, and in order not to alarm the man in front of them, they even dared to step forward again when they were about to lose sight of him. When the man entered the Yuelai Inn, they only stopped steadily about twenty or thirty feet away from the inn.
The steppe soldiers slowly stepped forward, as if they had steadily surrounded the inn in front of them, but they were still hidden in the shadow of the night rain and did not appear. As soon as the adults gave the order, they were going to cut down those Xingren. It's just that the order is delayed. ,
On the road between the "One Inn" and the Yuelai Inn, about halfway, the middle-aged man who had talked a lot to the blind man before, was holding the stove in one hand and an umbrella in the other, and was looking at the candle flame in front of him. He knew that as long as he gave an order, the group of steppe people who were not very clear would rush in and extinguish the candle flame without fear of death. He sneered secretly, the prairie people probably didn't know who they were following tonight, but he, after seeing the man who carried the blind man on his shoulder and went out, knew who he was facing tonight.
The blind man was originally used by him to "fish", just to see what kind of Daxing forces are still hidden in this Chaotian Pass. It's just that what he didn't expect was that there were so many people who were caught. He laughed to himself, "So imprudent, I really don't know how I survived back then."
After all, the middle-aged man did not order the steppe people to attack it, not because he was rare about the lives of those steppe soldiers, but because he didn't want to meet those people so soon. As a result, the grassland people who had completed the encirclement receded like a tide, but they were more silent than the tide.
