Han Liu'er said: "Stop, it's already sunny in the middle of the night." ”

Chen Lu hurriedly washed up and came to the meeting hall, where he was ready to stop, and after seeing the ceremony, Xizi brought someone to bring breakfast.

Li Da said: "The dry food prepared by the food guard can last for three days, and we will travel day and night to reach the Ali Pass within three days. ”

Half an hour later, the mission pulled out the camp, regardless of the muddy roads, marched all the way, rested for half an hour at noon, replenished physical strength, horses and camels rested their strength, ate grass and water, and continued the march.

By the beginning of the day, it was already dark. Li Da ordered a rest for an hour, mainly because he thought that the horses and camels could not stand it.

It was already May 19, and the moon would rise in an hour, and then the march would take place. Chen Lu had been riding in the car, but at this time it was a night march and ordered the Dolan sisters to take the car. He was to ride a horse to escort and march at night, and he was a little uneasy.

Wang Daju led a total of soldiers and horses to surround the three carriages all the time. He was a shrewd general, and he knew that he had a great responsibility, not to mention that he had one eye open when he ate and even when he slept. His piercing eyes were always vigilant in his surroundings.

Chen Lu had already noticed it and was a lot more relieved.

In this way, they marched rapidly for a day and a night, and walked more than 360 miles, which is a rare speed, although they were very tired, and when they heard the sapper report the mileage, and nothing went wrong, everyone was very happy. But they are all already sleepy.

At the right time, Li Xian looked out, and some soldiers fell asleep on their horses and rolled down, so he suggested that Li Da set up camp and rest. Li Da agreed and ordered to investigate. After a while, the sentry reported to Long Gang that there was a village five miles ahead, and more than a dozen houses were empty and could be camped.

Long Gang gave a few words to the king and led the people forward. Li Da urged the brigade to follow up quickly, and when they arrived here in less than two quarters of an hour, they saw a large stone tablet at the head of the village, with Chinese characters on it, which was Shiqiao Village. The soldiers took a look at the village with torches, and the village was not large.

Li Da didn't believe that the house was empty, and ordered Long Gang to go from house to house to have a look.

After a while, Long Gang reported that the whole village was really empty. But most of the things are still there, it doesn't look like it's gone far, and it doesn't seem like it's been very long. Li Da ordered that he set up camp in these empty houses, and the food sentinel set up the stove in the middle of the village.

Long Gang felt inappropriate, and ran over and said: "Lord Lieutenant, it's been a long time since I was humiliated, and the reason why I didn't arrange the camping thing is that I feel a little weird, please show me." ”

This is a reminder, a reminder not to take credit, a reminder to respect the commander. Of course, Li Da knew in his heart that Long Gang did not agree to camp here. He looked at Wang Daju.

Wang Daju said: "My lords, since Long Dashuai said that this place is strange, then why should we camp here, with the intention of being a humble general, and go forward for a while, and it will not be too late for us to set up camp again." ”

Li Da looked at the two angels, and Li Xian said: "I can't go anymore, the horses and camels have lost their palms, and when the time comes, it will be even more wrong, so let's set up camp." ”

Long Gang said: "What the lord said is that the lowly suggestion is not to enter the village, but to choose to camp in the underground village. ”

Li Da said: "It's okay, just listen to General Long, set up camp." Take good care of your soldiers, don't let them go to people's homes to get things, if they violate military discipline, military law is ruthless. You know the messenger. Long Gang agreed.

Chen Lu didn't say a word from beginning to end. There wasn't a single one in the village, and it wasn't your average oddity. Later, I thought about it, maybe it was because of the flags, but the officers and men of the mission were really not afraid of these mountain bandits.

If it is really evil, what is the use of running out for 180 miles?

Long Gang had already chosen the address, Wang Daju protected the car and drove over first, first set up the big tent of the Chinese army, and Chen Lu gave Long Gang the newly invited ghost talisman. Chen Lu watched them paste it, but he was still not at ease, so he checked it again in person. The ground here is dry, I don't know if it's because of the light rain, or if it's been dried for the past two days.

After dinner, the moon has risen, and the quiet night is the best time for people to relieve fatigue. Li Da ordered to rest early and pull out the camp tomorrow.

Long Gang and Wang Daju didn't dare to close their eyes all night, knowing the sound of bangzi in the early morning, the two of them were relieved and safe.

Everyone had breakfast and was about to open the account, when Lu Hatu ran to report in a panic: "Long Dashuai, there are two brothers who haven't come back yet." ”

Long Gang said, "We didn't send a messenger either, what are they doing?"

Lu Hatu said: "It is the two soldiers who are waiting for the envoy Baoma, Wang Er and Wu San. They saw that the grass here was very high, and wanted to cut some for Wan'er and Perak to eat. ”

I don't know why, Long Gang suddenly had an ominous premonition. In fact, in normal times, it is normal, but the uneasiness of this night made him suspicious, and he decisively ordered: "Don't wait, assemble immediately." ”

Ruhatu was uncomfortable to listen to, this is too inappropriate to take the lives of the brothers, right? But he didn't know much about this new commander, so he didn't dare to reply.

While the soldiers were assembling, two soldiers returned, waiting at the gate of the camp and not coming in. Hu Chun saw it and scolded: "Hurry up and gather, if you don't come in, who will lead the BMW?" Hurry up, the lazy donkey grinds on the road." ”

Who knew that the two of them had lost their temper, and they threw the two bundles of grass to the ground vigorously and walked away.

Hu Chun was furious and scolded again: "Okay, you two rabbit cubs, you are the soldiers led by the general, and you dare to dump me." As he spoke, both soldiers ran away.

Hu Chun was taken aback, these two soldiers were too bold! He was a little angry, and ordered the sentry chief at the gate: "Take your people, chase them back, tie them up, and go to the next station, see if Ben will not pick their skins!"

The mission is about to begin. The sentry commander was fine, and chased after him with his troops. Hu Chun was still scolding.

Just in time for Long Gang to come over, he said, "What about the sentry here? What's wrong with Senior Hu? Who dares to upset you?"

Hu Chun smiled and said, "It's okay, the soldiers I brought have lost their temper with me." ”

Long Gang said: "This situation can't be used to, do you want to beat them up with the law enforcement sentry?"

Hu Chun hurriedly said: "No, I have already asked the sentries to tie up, and when I go to the next station, I will draw their tendons." ”

Long Gang had already walked a few steps, and when he heard what he said, there was a problem, and it seemed that the person was not in the camp, so he turned around and asked, "You said that you went out to chase it, is it Wang Er and Wu San?"

Hu Chun nodded. Long Gang glanced at the two bales of grass at the gate of the camp, shouted badly, and said, "General Hu, you hurry back to the baggage camp and protect the baggage." Also fast. ”

It also came quickly. Long Gang said: "You immediately lead the hundred-man team to chase the sentinels and them, let them return quickly, and Ben will organize the march immediately." ”

The bang that set off sounded, and he was taken aback quickly, and quickly rode over, seeing that Long Gang was nervously organizing the camp, and he didn't dare to delay, and rushed out of the camp in a hurry with the troops, he knew in his heart that something was wrong, something big happened.

He also quickly led the troops to chase him out, and saw Wang Er and Wu San sitting on the ridge to eat, but the soldiers at this post were gone. The sun had come out, shining golden on the ears of wheat. The wheat here is ripe, and the breeze blows, drifting over wave after wave, and pressing back wave after wave.

Seeing that the harvest is good, why would the villagers abandon such a good crop and run away?
