Ha San said: "From Suzhou, we have lost troops all the way, especially in Kan'er City, and we have lost 84 people so far. It's not enough right now, and it feels very stretched. General Bei asked your lordship, can you borrow some men and horses from the Turfan Propaganda Division?"

Chen Lu also said that he should borrow some. Li Da nodded and asked, "No problem, how much do we need?"

Ha San said: "At least two general flags, if there are three or four more general, it would be great." ”

Li Da took care of everything: "No problem, just borrow the three general flags." Ha San retired.

A few people calculated the time and distance again. Not too much of a surprise, the Mid-Autumn Festival will be able to reach Haret. Several people understand the meaning of this "no accidents", and there are too many uncertain factors along the way.

Kiko brought the rice, and everyone had eaten, but it was not clear whether it was breakfast or lunch. It's like this almost every day, hungry and full.

After eating, someone came to report that the Comfort Division had come. Long Gang brought people into front of the big tent of the Chinese army, an officer with a team of personal soldiers waiting outside the tent, a person walked into the big tent, and saw Li Daduan sitting there, walking a few steps, shouting and dancing, and saying: "Turfan Xuandu Governor Yin Ji respectfully invites Sheng'an." ”

Speaking in Chinese, he was a Han official, Li Da saw that he was wearing a peacock supplement uniform, and knew that he was a third-grade civil official, so he shouted loudly: "Shengbow'an." ”

Chen Lu walked over and helped Yin Ji up and gossiped a few words. Li Da originally had a will, but he couldn't read it to him, and he could only read it out when he saw King Yongning and Dadu Governor Ha'er.

Yin Ji sat down, took the tea from Kiko, and said, "Counting the days, it should be time." In the past few days, the prince has been very anxious and sent several groups of people to greet him. Barriers were set up on all roads, but there was still no news of the mission. ”

When everyone heard it, this was the same tone as Hamiwei and Chijinwei.

Li Da said: "It's hard to worry about the prince, is the prince safe?"

Yin Ji said: "Xie Angel asked, Wang Ye'an." The task given by the prince to the subordinate is to pick up the angels. In addition, there is another thing, if there are materials that need to be replenished, report them to the lower officials as soon as possible, and the lower officials will send people back to prepare as soon as possible, so as not to be in a temporary hurry. ”

Li first handed him the list, he glanced at it, put it in the bag, handed the bag to an officer who followed him, and said, "Send two people who need to be used, and send them to the prince quickly." As he spoke, he stood up, "A few adults, the officials are still on some business when they go to the office, so they live in the post station." Ladies and gentlemen, please go back to the Comfort Division tomorrow. I don't know what time I'll leave tomorrow?"

Li Da asked, "How far is it from the Propaganda Division?"

"Less than fifty miles. ”

Li Da silently calculated and said, "Tomorrow Mao is leaving, and it will arrive at the beginning of the afternoon." ”

Yin Ji said, "It's best to go there for lunch." "I said a few words to the attendant in the Western Regions, and this attendant went out to arrange and report to the Propaganda Division. Yoon Ji quit his job and went to the Institute.

Li Da ordered the officers and soldiers to rest, they didn't sleep all night, and everyone couldn't hold on anymore. But less than two hours later, the soap official of the Institute of Counseling came in a panic, and Long Gang received him, saying that he had an urgent matter to see the envoy. Long Gang knew that something was wrong, so he didn't dare to slack off and took him into the big tent.

Kiko was sleeping, and when she heard Nalan asking, she got up and ran in to report. The two envoys hurried out while tying their belts.

The person who came knelt down and kowtowed, and said with a crying voice in the Western Regions: "Just now, Lord Yin had dinner in the Institute of Justice, and discussed with Lord Chahan, the official of the Institute, and a group of soldiers came, and killed all the soap officials of the Institute without asking questions, and fought with Lord Yin's own soldiers. The villain was about to return to the office, seeing that they were fighting, I hid in the shadows, watched for a while, and they killed a lot of people again, and arrested Master Yin Ji and Master Liwen. ”

After listening to the translation, Li Da was taken aback and asked, "Where did you catch it?"

The soap officer cried and shook his head, and at this time, Chen Lu and Ha San also came over. Chen Lu said: "Lord Lieutenant, without further ado, my Zicheng and Long Gang will lead the troops to chase, and the three brothers will stay in the camp. This little brother, you hurry up and report to the Propaganda Division, and my old man will send someone to go with you. ”

The soap officer said, "There is no one to show you the way, and you can't find it, so let's lead the way with the villain, and then send someone to Turgan when you go back." ”

Chen Lu said: "Foolish thing, my old man still doesn't know the way? What can we do with this little soldier? Let you move the troops quickly." ”

The soap official said: "Then there is no need to go to the Xuanfu Division to move troops, ten miles from here, there is a place to guard a thousand households." I can mobilize an adult. ”

Li Da said, "Lord Zicheng, you go quickly." This envoy will send someone to deliver a message to the Senhu Guard, although we have no right to mobilize, but if we receive an urgent letter, they will definitely come to the rescue. ”

At this time, Long Gang had already ordered the two general banners and ran towards the city under the leadership of this soap official with Chen Lu. The people were all on the streets, one by one, at a loss, crying, noisy, and many homes were robbed. When they arrived in the northeast of the city, there were bursts of crying, and Chen Lu knew that he had killed someone.

When they arrived at the institute, many people had died, some of whom had not yet breathed and were struggling. Chen Lu didn't look like it was done by bandits, but it really looked like officers and soldiers. When asked what kind of clothes the wounded soap officials were wearing, he said that they were wearing the same clothes as the soldiers brought by Lord Yin.

Officers and soldiers, really officers and soldiers, Chen Lu was taken aback, and at first thought that it was the soap official who reported the news, but it seemed to be true.

Chen Lu walked out of the counseling office, went to the street to inquire, and asked them in which direction the thieves had run away.

These villagers were even more afraid of these officers and soldiers of the Celestial Empire, and they were so frightened that they either hurriedly hid or did not dare to speak. In the end, I finally asked one, saying that I ran to the northeast official road.

Chen Lu pondered for a while, and couldn't think of a reason. Long Gang asked the soap officer, is there a granary to the northeast? The soap officer replied affirmatively: "Yes, there are two righteous warehouses." ”

Long Gang nodded at Chen Lu, and Chen Lu reciprocated with an appreciative look and said to Long Gang: "You and this little brother hurry up to help the granary." Long Gang received the order and led the troops away.

Chen Lu then walked. As he walked, he thought that judging from various traces, it was very likely that this was a Warat soldier. Their purpose was food, and when they arrived at the Institute, they were also to grab things, and they didn't want to encounter Yin Ji, so they made a big fight and fought hard.

Before I could reach the granary, I saw a long row of carriages and camel carts at the entrance of the Yicang, which were full of bulging rice bags, and some horses and camels also had rice bags on them.

In general, granaries are built on high ground and far away from residential areas, just to prevent water and fire. The same is true of this large warehouse, built on a half-earthen slope.

Long Gang said: "Lord Chen, they are no less than five hundred, we can't fight hard, as long as we can entangle with them for two hours, the officers and soldiers guarding the Thousand Households will be able to arrive." ”

Chen Lu said: "My old man doesn't understand military affairs, so I gave you this opportunity, so you can show your hand." ”
