Early the next morning, Dong Tianxing and his entourage of 27 people got on their horses and set off for the north.

Due to the distance from the war, the central and southern areas of Shengtang were relatively peaceful, and everyone walked calmly along the way, and finally arrived in the Jingxiang area smoothly after crossing the Yangtze River and the Han River in a row.

At this time, Jingxiang was already full of troops. The soldiers and horses of all the Qinwang from all walks of life in the south gathered here, and there were 500,000 people.

Of course, the so-called king of diligence, which "king" is diligence? Whether it is the crown prince Li Bing, or the king of Huaiyang, Li Jiong, or someone else, is a little ambiguous at the moment.

Similar to the situation in Yizhou, Jingxiang's side is also divided into three factions.

Princeling, skepticism, neutrality.

Because of internal disagreements, Li Chenglin, the generalissimo, Shangzhuguo, and the king of Anping County, did not dare to easily pull the troops into the battlefield, lest he should be in chaos before he fought with the Turks.

As for his own position, the old prince is very ghostly, and he agrees with all three factions, and he doesn't fully agree with them.

In a word, I have no personal opinion, just waiting for the Yizhou court to speak.

The ball was kicked smoothly, and Yizhou was so angry that he didn't have a line: Wait for us to speak? We're waiting for you to speak, okay!

In order to prevent the Turks from suddenly moving south, Li Chenglin was not idle, he ordered all the troops gathered in Jingxiang to mobilize and build a solid defense line that stretched for 300 miles and was five layers deep.

In this way, Dong Tianxing was stumped.

Even if he revealed his identity as a member of the military department, because there was no official document from the military department, it could not be proved that he was on a special mission, and the soldiers on the defense line still refused to let this group of guys in strange costumes and strange appearances pass.

After trying several passes in a row, Lao Dong finally deflated.

He spread out the map he was carrying, studied it for a long time, and slapped the table: "Let's take a detour from the northwest!" ”

Wu Rong was curious: "Why don't you go east and go around from downstream?" ”

"If you go east, you will either run into the King of Huaiyang or the Xuanjia Army," Dong Tianxing explained: "Instead of going around like that, it is better to go directly into the territory of the Turks, and maybe you can find the flaws of the poisonous soldiers earlier." ”

Hearing him say so surely, Amunta and Wu Rong both agreed. But they never expected that it was Lao Dong's bad idea that caused them to go around in a bigger circle in the end, and they almost died on the road.

The team of 27 people threw off the Jingxiang defense line, turned around and walked northwest, crossed the Danjiang estuary, and went straight to Shangzhou.

This place is already under the control of the Turks.

According to Dong Tianxing's idea, they passed through Shangzhou, entered Guanzhong, and then went north to Huazhou, and then went east, and soon reached Luoyi.

However, people are not as good as heaven, and the team had an accident when they reached the foot of Huashan.

At first, it was a Turkic patrol that stopped them and prepared to interrogate them. Those Turks were not the noble Golden Clan, but led by the Tianmu Clan, mixed with some warriors from small Turkic tribes and soldiers from Western Xinjiang.

Typical ragtag army.

With Dong Tianxing's level, it is not difficult to prevaricate these people. But no one expected that there was a guy with a special identity in this patrol.

That person's name was Ruan Shiyu, a native of the imperial capital, and he used to be a small official. After the fall of the imperial capital, Ruan Shiyu surrendered to the Turks and has been working for the Turks in the army, and the yamen he once served in the court was the military department.

Ruan Shiyu hugged his shoulders and watched from the side, the more he looked at Dong Tianxing, the more familiar he felt, until the patrol captain was about to let those people go, he suddenly recognized it: Master Dong of the Military Department!

Not only Dong Tianxing, but even Amunta and Wu Rong were also broken by Ruan Shiyudao.

Now it's in trouble.

Wu Rong didn't talk much nonsense, roared angrily, and led his twelve men and women to fight directly. Seeing this, Amunta had no choice but to order his subordinates to do it together.

Dong Tianxing secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good.

Of course, it's no problem to deal with patrols, but this is Turkic territory, and there are plenty of reinforcements behind them!

Sure enough, the miscellaneous patrol team was beaten by the heroes of Miao Jiang and the heroes of Yunnan to cry for their fathers and mothers, but soon after, there were hooves in the distance, and a large number of Turkic troops were killed in a blink of an eye.

Dong Tianxing was helpless, and hurriedly beckoned Wu Rong and Amunta to retreat, and the direction they chose to flee was west.

There was no way, the Turkic reinforcements came from the east, and they could only run to the west.

According to common sense, no matter how fast Dong Tianxing's horses were, they couldn't be faster than the Turkic cavalry. However, there are many capable people in this team, and all of them are masters of using drugs, and they are poisoned while running along the way, making the pursuers behind miserable.

The Turks suffered casualties, and they couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and when they heard that there was a high-ranking official of the Shengtang Army Department in front of them, they were even more unwilling to give up.

Two groups of people chased and fought, tossing for five days and five nights, until they made trouble from the foot of Huashan Mountain to the Yongliang border.

Dong Tianxing felt that his old bones were about to fall apart, so he lay on the back of the horse and shouted pantingly: "Old buddy, it's not hit!" You go first, I'll cut off. ”

"After you broke a fart!" Wu Rong scolded while riding a horse: "It's hard to kill a chicken, and you have to break it?" Brother Toast, why don't we fight with them! ”

Amunta looked left and right, and then looked behind him: "There are at least a hundred of them, are you sure?" ”

Wu Rong turned his heart sideways: "You have to do it if you are not sure of it!" If you keep running like this, you'll be tired to death! ”

Amunta thought about it, and hurriedly grabbed the reins and shouted, "Brothers, let's fight with them." ”

To tell the truth, although these people use poison very well, but right now in the plains and wilderness, the other party is all Turkic regular army, and the two sides only need two or three rounds of direct charges, Dong Tianxing and they have to be reimbursed in full.

Seeing that the fleeing people suddenly stopped fleeing, the Turks also stopped one after another, and at the same time began to line up and prepare to attack.

Dong Tianxing was blocked by Wu Rong, panting and saying, "No, this is not a hit......"

Wu Rong took out the poison dart from his arms and said coldly: "If you don't get it, you can only do it now, or ...... Otherwise, Lao Dong, you should withdraw first, go back to Liyang to report the news, and call my sons and daughters to take revenge! ”

Amunta looked at the Turks who were splitting into two teams and planning to outflank them left and right, and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid Lao Dong won't be able to get out, they want to encircle us." ”

Dong Tianxing glanced at the soldiers from Miao Jiang and Yunnan, everyone had resolute faces, but their eyes were also full of worry and fear, especially the girls, whose hands holding knives trembled slightly. He couldn't help but sigh secretly and said apologetically: "I hurt you." Later, please give the old man a good time. Dong Moushi received the favor of the country, and he didn't want to be captured alive by them......"

Who knows, before Dong Tianxing's "last words" were finished, a sharp and piercing whistle suddenly came from the sparse forest area in the distance.

Immediately after, the hoofs sounded!

Hundreds of knights in blue robes and black iron armor swooped out from the forest.

At the front of the team, there was a battle flag flying in the wind, Dong Tianxing saw it in his eyes, and he was shocked:

St. Tang Town's Xinjiang Army!

Don't...... It's our St. Don's army?!

Before he could react, the cavalry had already whizzed in front of him, and rushed towards the Turks in three directions.

"Long live our emperor! Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

This deafening shout made Dong Tianxing surprised and delighted: This time it must be right, it must be the Holy Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses. Moreover, they still used the battle number of the Zhenjiang Protectorate.

"God bless!" Amunta raised his head to the sky and shouted: "This is a divine soldier from heaven, a divine soldier from heaven!" ”

Wu Rong looked confused: "Hey, Lao Dong, aren't Guanzhong and Northwest occupied by the Turks?" How to ......"

Dong Tianxing's excited old tears were rampant: "I don't know what's going on, where did they come from?" ”

The cavalry of the Zhenjiang army, which appeared out of nowhere, was far outnumbered by the Turks, and launched a surprise attack, and in the blink of an eye, the pursuers were beaten back one after another. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Turks hurriedly gathered their ranks and fled back along the same route.

The Zhenjiang army did not chase endlessly, and after the enemy disappeared, they quickly assembled and lined up in a neat line. The led officer rode his horse to Dong Tianxing and asked kindly, "Everyone, who are you?" Why are the Turks hunting you down? ”

Dong Tianxing hurriedly responded: "This brother is working hard. The old man is Dong Tianxing, a member of the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of War, this is Wu Rong, the leader of the Miao people in Liyang, and this is Amengta, the Tusi of Nanzhao, these are the subordinates of the two of them. The Turks learned of our identity and chased us all the way from Huazhou, but thanks to the rescue of your troops here, we were able to get out of danger. Haven't asked yet? ”

"Humble Qin Hao, see Lord Dong!" Officer Qin Hao arched his hand and said: "We are the 11th Light Cavalry Battalion of the Second Army of the Zhenjiang Army, and we are on the orders of the main general Du Jian, and we are patrolling the Yongliang area with guerrilla attacks. ”

Dong Tianxing was stunned: "Zhenjiang Army? Is it the Protectorate of Zhenjiang? ”

Qin Hao smiled slightly when he heard this: "Yes, it's not." The predecessor of our army was the Shengtang Zhenjiang Protectorate, but now the official name is the Zhenjiang Army. ”

"Ah, I see, look up for a long time," Dong Tianxing was confused when he heard this, nodded confusedly, and asked again: "So where is your army stationed now?" Is it far from here? ”

Qin Hao replied: "My Second Army is currently stationed at Shengyu Pass, which is about five hundred miles away from here. ”

"Sheng Yuguan?" Dong Tianxing seemed to hear a myth, and he couldn't believe it: "Sheng Yuguan has returned to the hands of our army?" ”

"Not only Shengyu Pass, but also Zijin Pass has been recovered." Qin Hao said proudly: "To the west of the two passes, as far as the borders of the countries of Shaye, Shache, and Shule, the western frontier of Wanli has returned to the territory of the Holy Tang Dynasty. My lord, you don't know yet? ”

"I'm a mother! God has opened your eyes! Dong Tianxing was so excited that he almost hugged Qin Hao and kissed him: "Little brother, please tell me quickly, who is your commander?" He has grace and great grace to St. Tang! ”
