Chapter 713: Getting Better
After hearing the promise of 'I will definitely come back' in Hu Biao's mouth.
Wu Fu, the white-haired old man who was the leader, and a few juniors around him, almost cried.
No one knows how hard they have survived in this place where enemies are on all sides after all these years.
After losing the protection and deterrence of the imperial army, the Hu people who were respectful and enthusiastic in front of them in the past will immediately show their fangs and butcher knives.
Over the years, there have been countless pursuits and escapes.
In the end, they abandoned their ancestors' surnames, took the name of a Hu people, and survived as if they were secret.
Don't look at the team of about 200 people in front of you, it seems that the strength is not bad; But it was a dozen groups of Tang merchants in the past, and they got together with the strength.
After hearing the news, he went out to do the activity regardless of the danger.
It can be said that these wanderers who are surviving in foreign lands are more aware of how important and happy it is to have a powerful Guo Jia behind them.
But they also know that now is not the time to complain.
After Wang Fu raised his head, he said:
"General Hu, the current situation is urgent, in addition to our team, there are also seven or eight Hu people from Yiwu City, chasing back and forth towards this side.
The nearest group of them was only twenty miles away.
Our ability is limited, and we can't help much, so we can only help you with some war horses and supplies; and chased in the other direction, hoping to disturb the sight of the other Hu people. ”
After saying that, he solemnly saluted Hu Biao and them, and then got up and acted.
Although the white-haired old man in front of him said very modestly.
But the war horses, materials, and the chasing soldiers they funded, for the situation of Hu Biao and others, are they completely like sending charcoal in the snow?
To say that Hu Biao and others are not moved in their hearts is completely fake.
Seeing this, Yang Dongli reminded:
"The people under the command of the old man, whether they can all be trusted, don't leak today's news."
"It doesn't matter! The people in the team are either the children of the Tang people such as me, or they are all dead soldiers we have adopted since childhood, and there is no problem in loyalty. ”
After hearing this, Wang Fu replied like this.
In the end, he left a sentence: "The mountains are high and the waters are long, please take care of the generals all the way; I hope that before the little old man is alive, he can see my Tang Heavenly Soldiers return to the Western Regions. ”
"I won't disappoint my husband." Hu Biao, Yang Dongli, AT, Cangguan, Guifei and others solemnly answered one by one.
In the following time, Wang Fu and others quickly turned over and got on their horses.
After returning to the large army in the rear, there was a loud shout in his mouth, and he rushed away in the direction of the right, bringing up a large cloud of smoke and dust.
In the same place, more than fifty war horses were left.
When Hu Biao and the others stepped forward to take a look, they found that there were swords, riding bows, arrows, food, materials, tents, blankets, cauldrons and other valuable materials.
Even Lao Hei was on the edge of the saddle of a war horse and found two bags of golden sand.
Seeing so many life-saving supplies, the most important thing is that after the appearance of Wang Fu and others, after letting them know that they were not alone, everyone's morale skyrocketed all of a sudden.
Even the fatigue on his body dissipated most of it for a while.
After turning over a jujube red horse, Hu Biao roared out in his mouth with a neutral voice: "Let's go, we must return to Chang'an City alive, and then kill back." ”
After saying that, he slapped the horse's buttocks hard, making the war horses gallop and at the same time, the speed at which they moved forward finally became faster......
******
Three hours later, the team finally arrived at the location of the unknown small tribe marked on Zhou Bonian's map before sunset.
Unfortunately, apart from some traces of human habitation in this area, that small tribe has long since disappeared.
God knows if it died out or if it migrated somewhere else.
But it doesn't matter, the team now has the most critical black beans in addition to the cold materials, which is enough to last for at least ten days.
After eruping the tents, the crowd chopped back some firewood from the nearby hills.
When the fire was lit and the chunks of horse meat began to tumble in the cauldron, such simple things moved everyone to tears.
When I took a bite of hot soup, I felt even more comfortable to the bones.
Wait until the morning of the second day, after everyone has gotten up; Hu Biao looked around and was pleasantly surprised to find that everyone's state was much better.
A group of old birds have almost recovered their former combat effectiveness.
The condition of Caishen, Chen Tang and others is also much better, at least the fever has completely subsided, and they can hold a basin and drink the noodle soup with horse meat in a big gulp.
Of course, Hu Biao and others also know that if they continue to be entangled by the Hu people, it will still be a huge trouble.
So their next plan is to change the route and not take the ancient Silk Road, which is a mature route.
Instead, according to Zhou Bonian's map, he made a detour all the way back for 300 miles and arrived at a rather remote tribe; It can be regarded as 'four crossings of Chishui', and it is a plan to confuse the enemy.
By the way, let everyone recuperate for three or five days.
After all, in the vast and sparsely populated Western Regions, as long as they don't take some mature and relatively densely populated routes, no matter how many Hu people don't want to catch their clues.
More importantly, the Hu and Tibetan people should never have imagined that they would actually kill a horse gun.
When they came to the front, after searching for no avail, they might think that they had frozen to death and starved to death on the wasteland, and even their bones had been eaten clean by wild beasts.
After such a period of time, there is still a thankless process.
I'm afraid that there are a large number of Hu tribes, and they will wake up from that reward and go home wisely.
After all, when they come out to do activities in such a big winter, their consumption of food and forage is definitely several times that of previous winters.
If you really want to consume it like this, don't put a bounty on it, and the tribe will starve people to death in large numbers.
There are also some disadvantages of getting lost in such an approach.
Fortunately, there is a team of people who are indigenous to the frontier like Old Snake; He has a good understanding of the terrain of the entire Frontier Province and its surroundings.
Even more coincidentally, the next tribe that intends to rest is located in a modern plane called the Seven Corners Well.
It's a small flat land surrounded by mountains, and it's quite hard to find; But just when the modern plane was building the G30 highway, the old snake and his father had built a high-speed service area nearby.
Therefore, the old snake who goes to the construction site to hang around is relatively familiar with the terrain here.
Combining the means of astrology and perpetual calendar, it should be relatively easy to find such a place......
Sure enough, just as Hu Biao expected.
After returning from the detour, I never thought that Hu Biao and they would have time to escape for their lives, but would kill a Hu person who returned to the horse gun, and basically went to the front to block it.
So much so that when I came back all the way, I didn't even encounter a ghost.
Relying on the high speed of constantly changing horses, it took them a day and a half to pass through the unguarded 'Red Mountain Pass', and finally came to the Qijiaojing.
After a while, I found a small tribe of 'Kunji'.
At first, in the face of such thirty or so outsiders, more than sixty warriors of that small tribe killed them in ecstasy.
But in the blink of an eye, after being put down halfway, they immediately became honest and enthusiastic.
Thinking of asking someone to help with the work, remake some snow climbing plows to rush out and stock up on some supplies for use on the road.
After confiscating all their war horses, there was no need to worry about these people escaping in the ice and snow and revealing their traces, Hu Biao and the others did not kill this small tribe.
At this point, a group of netizens started a short break in this place.
Soon after, they discovered a huge surprise.
Because there is not only a warm presence on the surrounding mountains, but after soaking the whole person in it, the whole person finally feels alive.
Soak for an hour every day, and the accumulated fatigue will completely disappear.
There is also coal resources in the open air, so as long as you make some briquettes, the team will have far more efficient fuel than cow and sheep dung in the future.
Even here, there are Siberian tigers.
It's a pity that in the face of these two-legged food, before it could show its majesty as the king of the forest, the war elephant, a great ocean horse, rushed forward.
After a casserole-sized fist smashed down, its skin became the new coat of the war elephant, and the whip and bone became the materials that Nanzawa would use to make wine in the future.
In response to such a point, Hu Biao expressed considerable expectations.
In short, netizens who have worked hard for several days, their situation has finally improved......
