Di Yan was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Where are they now?"

One soldier pointed to the west and whispered, "They are right next to us, just over three hundred steps away from us, and we only discovered them by accident when we returned." ”

Everyone looked at each other, the target they were looking for turned out to be three hundred steps away, everyone became nervous, and looked at Di Yan together, Di Yan had never independently commanded a battle, her heart was also pounding with nervousness, remembering that she and Li Zhen had hunted the target several times, she thought about it, and said to the two soldiers: "You two stay and take care of the horses, and the rest come with me." ”

Armed with bows and crossbows, they followed Di Yan to the west and climbed up a hill, where they immediately found two bonfires at the bottom of the valley, and more than twenty black shadows were laughing around the bonfires, and smelling the smell of barbecue.

This team is indeed escorting the prince of the Xi tribe Li Dayu to Miyun, because the eldest prince of the Xi tribe was seriously injured in the battle against Jixian County, and died after half a month, Sun Wanrong did not tell the truth to Emperor Li Pi, the king of Xi, but only told him that his son was injured and could be sent back to Rao Le for treatment, but the premise was that the second son must be sent to replace, and Emperor Li Pidi asked the soldiers to escort the second son to Miyun to replace the eldest son.

This team never dreamed that they had been targeted by the Tang army scouts, and they shot two yellow sheep in the afternoon, then lit a bonfire and barbecued, ready to eat before continuing westward.

Di Yan deftly climbed a big tree to observe for a moment, and she saw a young man, dressed in an expensive fur coat, his body was a little weak, he seemed to be preoccupied, sitting by the campfire in a daze, and the others were wearing the leather armor of a mocking warrior, and bows, arrows, and spears were stacked next to a large tree next to it.

Di Yan immediately had a bold plan in her heart, she jumped off the tree, beckoned two agile soldiers to come, and whispered a few words to Yang Honglie, Yang Honglie was startled, and quickly shook his head, "Madame can't take risks." ”

Di Yan smiled: "This is not a risk, I have experienced things ten times more dangerous than this, don't say it, if I can't succeed, I can also protect myself." ”

Yang Honglie also knew that his wife was very powerful, so he no longer insisted, he took the brothers to touch it slowly, and ambushed in the dense forest thirty steps away, holding a crossbow arrow in his hand, aiming at the Xi soldiers.

Di Yan gave full play to her superb skills, she climbed a big tree, quickly approached the Xi people from the tree, and soon, she was already on top of the one where the weapon was placed, hiding behind a tree trunk, observing the movements of the Xi soldiers under the tree, the twenty Xi soldiers ate happily, not realizing that there was a person hidden above their heads.

Di Yan climbed the trunk of the tree like a gecko and slowly slid down, about five feet away from the tree, she hooked a branch with her foot, her body gently swung down, her head down, hanging the golden hook upside down, and with both hands she delicately grabbed a few pairs of taunting bows and arrows, and threw them at two big trees not far away, and a Tang soldier flashed behind the big tree, caught the bow and arrow, and threw it to another person, as if it was a relay.

In just a moment, Di Yan stole more than 20 pairs of bows and arrows, spears, and swords, and she quickly climbed the big tree and made a gesture to Yang Honglie not far away.

Yang Honglie was excited in his heart, and whispered to everyone: "Listen to my order, shoot together, and don't shoot the man in the middle who is not wearing a military uniform." ”

Everyone nodded, and together they raised their crossbows and aimed at the Xi soldiers, Yang Honglie shouted in a low voice, "Shoot!"

I only heard the sound of a crossbow machine crashing, twenty crossbow arrows shot at the Xi soldiers like a rain, the Xi soldiers were caught off guard, they were shot by the arrows, and a scream suddenly sounded next to the bonfire, the soldiers who were not hit by the arrows were so frightened that they stumbled and ran to get their weapons, but found that their weapons had disappeared, and when they were in a panic, twenty Tang soldiers roared loudly and rushed over from the woods to the west, slashing the enemy with their swords, and the campfire was suddenly in chaos.

At this time, the prince of Xi people, Li Dayu, was also frightened, he happened to sit next to a piece of grass, he turned around, climbed into the grass, climbed out of more than a dozen steps with his hands and feet, got up and ran wildly, but only ran a few steps, he only felt that his back was hit hard, a stumbling fell to the ground, he was about to get up, a sharp long sword had been against the back of his neck, only to hear a woman's voice behind him coldly said: "Dare to run again, a sword will cut off your neck!" ......

After dawn, several scout teams came back one after another, they didn't find anything abnormal, but Di Yan's team had not come back yet, which made Li Zhen a little worried, and waited until noon, still no news from Di Yan, Li Zhen finally lost his breath, and anxiously paced back and forth in the marching tent.

Li Zhen was very remorseful in his heart, he knew that he shouldn't have agreed to let Di Yan out, in case something happened to her, how could he explain to Di Xiangguo?

At this time, Zhang Li next to him comforted him and said: "General, I think Miss Di should be fine, even if they encounter any danger, someone should flee back to report the news, and Yang Honglie is cautious and steady, he will not let Miss Di go into danger, I guess they are going the wrong way, so they will come back later." ”

Li Zhen sighed secretly, having said that, if they were surrounded by thousands of people, no one would be able to escape at all, Li Zhen was most worried about this possibility.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside, and Jiuzhi rushed in and said excitedly: "Lao Li, Miss Di is back and has captured the prisoner." ”

Li Zhen was overjoyed, and walked out of the big tent quickly, only to see Di Yan and twenty of his men riding back, and seven or eight prisoners tied to the horses behind, and the cavalry surrounded one after another, applauding and cheering together.

Di Yan saluted everyone with his fists, turned over and dismounted, and walked towards Li Zhen triumphantly, "General Li, I'm sorry, I'm late." ”

Li Zhen's face sank, and he pointed at Yang Honglie and shouted to the soldiers: "Push him down and beat him with fifty military sticks!"

The soldiers stepped forward and pushed Yang Honglie down, Di Yan was shocked, and hurriedly said: "This matter has nothing to do with Captain Yang, it is my responsibility, and I am willing to accept the punishment." ”

Li Zhen glared at her fiercely, gritted his teeth and whispered: "I really regret letting you join the army and delay the army for half a day, how can you let me punish you?"

Di Yan also knew that she was at a loss, the military order was like a mountain, Li Zhen asked them to come back before dawn, but they delayed for half a day, which would delay the military plane, she said in a low voice: "It's me who is wrong this time! Don't punish Captain Yang, otherwise you won't be able to convince the public." ”

Li Zhen couldn't do anything about her, speaking of which, it was his own responsibility, who asked him to promise Di Yan to go north with the army, he had to wave his hand, "Wait a while and then beat with a cane!"

Li Zhen shook his head, stepped forward to several captives, and asked, "Who are they?"

Di Yan perked up, and hurriedly pointed to a young prisoner of war and said, "He is Li Dayu, the prince of the Xi clan, who was caught by us, can you make a consequence of the crime?"

Li Zhen was secretly happy in his heart, and actually caught Prince Xiren, which invisibly created an opportunity for him, Li Zhen immediately ordered: "Bring him to the tent!"

After walking a few steps, Li Zhen instructed his subordinates again: "Release Yang Honglie and allow him to make amends." ”

Li Dayu was frightened a lot, although he was reluctant to go to Miyun, but he didn't want to be caught by the Tang army, but at this time, he could only resign himself to fate, Li Dayu was pushed into the big tent, he wanted to close his eyes and wait for death, but Li Zhen waved his hand and said to the soldiers on both sides: "Untie him!"

Several soldiers stepped forward to untie Li Dayu, and a glimmer of hope suddenly rose in his heart, he rubbed his numb wrist and asked tentatively, "Doesn't General Li plan to kill me?"

Li Zhen shook his head, "It's not up to me to kill you, please sit down!"

Li Dayu was puzzled in his heart, and slowly sat down, Li Zhen sat down opposite him, and asked with a smile: "You speak Chinese well, have you stayed in the Central Plains?"

Li Dayu nodded, "I lived in Luoyang for ten years, studied in Taixue, and only returned to Raole the year before last. ”

"I see!"

Li Zhen smiled, looked at him and asked, "What are you doing in Miyun?"

Li Dayu was silent for a moment, sighed and said, "My brother was seriously injured, and my father wanted him to come back, but Sun Wanrong said that I had to exchange it, so I had to go to Miyun to exchange my brother back." ”

Speaking of this, Li Dayu asked uneasily, "Is General Li going to send me to Luoyang?"

"That's not necessary, I'll send someone to deliver a letter to your father, and if he wants to save you back, I need to talk to him, and I'll grieve you to stay in our army for a few days!"

Li Zhen then released several of Li Dayu's subordinates and asked them to bring a letter to Emperor Li Pi, the king of Xi, and he led the army to continue northward, and at dusk, the army arrived at the grassland where Di Yan first met the mother and son of the Xi tribe, and Li Zhen ordered the army to be stationed and wait for news from the king of Xi, Li Pidi.

Two days later, a group of more than 2,000 Xi cavalry arrived at the place where Li Zhen was stationed and stopped ten miles away.

In a moment, a cavalry of 100 people rushed to this side, led by a middle-aged man wearing a fox fur jacket and a hat, this person was Emperor Li Pi, the king of Xi, he got the news that the second son was captured by the Tang army on the way to Miyun, which made him anxious and panicked, and immediately led the army south.

Li Pidi did not have a good birth, only two sons, he is now over fifty years old, can no longer reproduce, so these two sons pinned all his hopes, and he just got the news that his eldest son had died of serious injuries in December last year, he now only has this one son left, if this son has another accident, he will have no offspring.

Emperor Li Pidi couldn't care about his own danger, and personally came to the Tang army camp to negotiate with Li Zhen, and after a while, the Xi cavalry team rushed forward, and Emperor Li Pidi said in a loud voice dozens of steps apart: "General Li, where is my son?"

"Are you King Xi?"

"Exactly! You let me see my son. ”

Li Zhen turned around and waved his hand, and several Tang cavalry took Li Dayu out, Li Dayu saw his father and hurriedly shouted: "Father save me!"

When Emperor Li Pidi saw that his son was fine, his heart relaxed, and he said to Li Zhen again: "General Li, what conditions do you want to release my son, just say it directly!"

Li Zhen smiled slightly, "Since you are here, why worry, King Xi, please go to the big tent to talk about it." ”
