Chapter 5: The Great General
Li Xiaobai rode a white horse borrowed from Tianxianglou and followed behind Wen Wan's black donkey.
Looking at the stupid donkey's triumphant expression, Li Xiaobai secretly pouted, although this white horse is not a good horse, at least it is taller and more powerful than you!
However, after running, Li Xiaobai found that this stupid donkey really had proud capital, and his foot strength was not slower than that of ordinary horses, and his endurance was better.
"It must be because I'm fatter and heavier, and I can't give this stupid donkey a good face, otherwise it will have more nostrils facing the sky. ”
......
A hundred miles north of Yiping County is Youzhou, and the distance is not far, so the two of them are not too hurried, and they are not in a hurry.
Especially Li Xiaobai, who just offended Yuwen Feiyang last night, went to someone's lair today, this is not a self-defeating net!
Wen Wan saw Li Xiaobai grinding and grinding, and didn't care about him, and walked in front slowly.
......
About halfway there, the two rested under a large tree on the side of the road.
A pair of cavalry came running from the direction of Youzhou in front, there were a hundred people, all light horses.
Horses are the best war horses, the best equipment, and the warriors are brave men who have experienced a hundred battles.
The army structure of the Tang Dynasty is based on the battalion as the main combat unit, the commander as the school guard, and the commander is 200 people.
Each battalion has two brigades, each brigade has 100 men, and the commander is the brigade commander.
Now what Li Xiaobai and they see is the elite of the army on the edge of the town, a brigade of the general's first battalion of personal guards.
A hundred people wore helmets and armor, rode horses and crossed swords, lined up in two rows, and the speed was not too fast, but the momentum was fierce and murderous.
Li Xiaobai couldn't help but admire when he saw it, no wonder the townside army was invincible and invincible, not to mention ordinary soldiers, they were masters of martial arts, surrounded by these 100 people, they were afraid that they would be more than lucky.
The thought that now is the time to go to their base camp is really distressing.
The cavalry of this brigade was the vanguard of the general's march into Beijing, and someone looked at Li Xiaobai and Wen Wan on the side of the road, but found nothing suspicious, so they did not stop.
After a while, the car of the great general Xiao Chaotian came, and the momentum was even better!
The cavalry of the brigade supported two carriages, one of which was four, and it must have been the general Xiao Chaotian inside.
It was followed by two carriages, which were supposed to be retinue civil officials.
When passing in front of Li Xiaobai and Wen Wan, the speed of the team remained unchanged, and only one person next to the general's car turned his head to take a look.
The man rode a yellow horse, without armor or weapons, and was dressed plainly, as if he were just an ordinary retinue.
If such a person were mixed with the ordinary population, it would be absolutely difficult to distinguish between them, and he would not be as dazzling as those soldiers at all.
It was his glance at Li Xiaobai that made Li Xiaobai feel like falling into an ice cave.
Li Xiaobai hurriedly lowered his head, for fear of attracting attention, but Wen Wan was still looking into the distance, unaware.
......
Xiao Chaotian's official position is actually the governor of Youzhou, and the history of Youzhou, and the general is just a title.
But he likes to be called a general, because he thinks that he is a soldier, a commander of the army, and he is made a metropolitan governor and governs eleven states, just for the convenience of leading troops.
Xiao Chaotian sat in the carriage, his eyes closed, actually thinking about things.
This time, he brought 1,000 people into Beijing, and the military advisor required that he could only take 200 people with him when he arrived in the capital, and the rest of the people must be stationed outside the capital.
Ruling eleven states and leading 150,000 troops, although for the other 800,000 soldiers and horses of the Tang Empire, the number of 150,000 town border troops is not very large, but Xiao Chaotian believes that in terms of combat effectiveness, his 150,000 town border army can withstand the rest of the army 450,000, and he can fight three with one enemy!
Yuwen Feiyang's incident last night has already been passed on, in fact, Xiao Chaotian is not afraid of revenge in the rivers and lakes, he knows that his danger is above the temple.
......
When the centaurs had already walked away, Li Xiaobai whispered to Wen Wan.
"That guy, do you know who he is?"
"It may be Yuan Qingqiu, Yuwen Feiyang's junior brother. ”
"Senior Brother Yuwen Feiyang, all of them work for Xiao Chaotian?"
"Well, in fact, the most important thing for Xiao Chaotian is their senior brother Shi Yan Danqing, the governor of Youzhou, he is Xiao Chaotian's military advisor!"
"Ahh
"He is a very powerful person, the master told me that the death of the God of War is also related to this, and the Wuzong incident, he is the party. ”
"The Wuzong incident two hundred years ago? You said he was more than two hundred years old? How could it be!"
"Yes, what is impossible for someone who can teach such three disciples!"
Li Xiaobai had nothing to say when he heard it, too, Yuwen Feiyang's master must be a great person, and it is not impossible to live for more than two hundred years.
Thinking that I was going to Youzhou soon, I was even more depressed.
......
The two of them arrived at Youzhou City in the evening, Youzhou is a military center in the north, several times larger than Xiangzhou, Yunzhou, Yingzhou, etc., and it is also more heavily guarded.
After entering the city, Wen Wan inquired all the way and took Li Xiaobai to a hotel called "Kelaiju" to check in.
After dinner in the evening, Wen Wan came to Li Xiaobai's room, closed the doors and windows, took out a map, and showed it to Li Xiaobai.
"This is the map of the General's Palace, divided into three layers, the whole is a large array designed by a master, the defense is tight, we can enter the second layer silently at most, but the study we want to enter is in the third layer. ”
Li Xiaobai observed carefully, the painting was more detailed, and there was a red dot circled in the study.
"Can this person draw such a picture, can't he bring us in?"
"No, he is a guest of the General's Mansion, and he lives in the second tier, and he can't bring people into the third tier for no reason. ”
"How's the guard?"
"Each heavy has two battalions of 400 people, all of which are personal guard battalions composed of the elite of the town's border army. ”
"Well, it's really hard to sneak in quietly. Speaking of which, eldest sister, do we have to take a risk? Such a dangerous thing, your master didn't give you a formation breaking diagram?"
"Call Big Brother!"
Wen Wan gradually got used to Li Xiaobai's salivation.
"The master didn't know that I would come to Youzhou, where is there any formation breaking map!"
"Master, he doesn't know about the old man, so is it not in the agreement?"
"What do you say?"
Wen Wan smiled indifferently and looked at Li Xiaobai.
"Haha, just kidding, you set the rules, I have no opinion!"
"Think about how we enter the study, now at least there are two masters, Yuwen Feiyang and Yuan Qingqiu, this is the best opportunity. ”
"We must go in?"
"Yes. ”
"Willing to take risks?"
"Yes!"
"Okay! I'll have a way, your throwing knives are accurate, right?"
"Why don't you give it a try?"
"No need! I have confidence in you! It's just that I'm afraid of you!"
"Don't worry, I won't leave you behind in a critical moment and run alone. ”
"Okay, then I'm relieved, how can I get out after I go in?"
"As long as you can go into the study and take a look, it's easy to say when you come out, but if you can't do it, you can kill it!"
"Big brother, you are too angry, how will you marry in the future?"
"You want to care?"
"Ahh
