Chapter 292: Ambush the Courier

The late autumn morning was a little cold, and the trees in the Blue Mansion City had been slightly covered with a thin layer of hoarfrost. The barracks in the garrison of the Northwest Army www.biquge.info have begun to drill early, and for the Han army, they will not stop training until they are sure that the Xiongnu have really been expelled from Shannan. And haunting the captain's head, is another question, at the moment the Huns seem to be retreating, but in fact whether it is really retreating after all, the situation is not clear. They will never lower their guard because of the words of the so-called envoy of the Shisu Pear Country, and a problem buried in their hearts is that the Han army, as the main force, seems to be overstretched, and now it is defended on two lines, four thousand and one is divided into two, and with the local troops, it is barely defended, but if it is defended for a long time, it will be lost, and if their troops are disabled and cannot be replenished, the fewer people will fight. So from the bottom of my heart, the captain especially hopes that the army of the imperial court will come here as soon as possible. But this is not at all something that he can control as a small lieutenant, what he can do is to keep a little longer as much time as possible, sweat more in normal times, and bleed less in wartime.

"I hope Pei Shan will bring good news" The sun slowly rose from the east, and the captain unconsciously looked to the east, which was the direction of his homeland.

The sun rose, the temperature gradually rose, and the city of blue buildings regained its vitality again, although there was no caravan to come to trade, and the bazaar was deserted a lot, but at least they came to repel the Xiongnu, and secondly, the Xiongnu did not appear for a long time. The pressure of the original collapse of the country and the collapse of their families was swept away, and the high mood naturally wanted to drink to cheer up. Piecemeal, some people from southern Xinjiang who were not from the Blue Mansion began to leave the Blue Mansion City, hoping to take advantage of the gap between the war to escape back to the relatively peaceful southern Xinjiang. However, there are some aborigines who were originally from the north of Xinjiang who did not dare to go back rashly, although there were people from the Zisu Pear Country who came, but they generally agreed with the Han army's ideas. If you can't wait for the army to come with real good news, you should not leave the relatively safe place of the Blue House easily.

When the eldest prince returned from his tour of the city, the account book belonging to the Shiso Pear Country to buy grain and grass was already lying quietly on top of his study. Originally, he was not good at calculating these delicate things, but after all, he wanted to be a king, and he still couldn't be lazy with these steps.

The ledger clearly lists the cattle and sheep and all kinds of jewels and gold brought by the envoys of the Shisu Pear Country, "I didn't expect that the Shisu Pear Country actually hides so many treasures, it is really eye-opening, this grain and grass, let me see how it is calculated, haha, Mr. Crisu is really black enough, such a treasure, so directly as a straw to buy it? Someone, and tell me who sent this account this morning? Was it sent by Mr. Crisu himself?" the prince asked with amusement. No matter how we say that Lanlou is the largest country in the Western Regions, how can we behave so stingy in the face of a small country?"

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, this account book was sent by Mr. Crissus himself, but Mr. Crisu seems to have stayed awake all night, and his eyes are dark, and I am afraid that he has not slept well all night to make this account book," said the man in the house.

"In that case, then you can prepare some supplements for me, and I will visit Mr. Chrysus myself later" The prince nodded, since Chrysu had not slept all night, then he could not be too demanding. "Also, this list of treasures was sent to my father, there are many good treasures in it, I believe my father will be very happy to see it, go ahead"

Zhali, who was hiding in the shadows, looked at the servants who went out from the gate of the house, turned to his subordinates and said, "You and the other spies in the city go out among the other people, tell them that everything is going well, and act according to the plan, if you can't enter the city after reporting the news, you will light eight sky lanterns in the north of the city to deliver the message, do you understand?"

The two of them bowed, "The subordinates obey the order, but is it really okay to leave the Lord Zuo Xianwang alone in the city?" Pakovy is no longer a subordinate, I am afraid that he will be unfavorable to the adults."

Zhali smiled helplessly, "I can't bear the child's wolf, don't think that Zhali agreed so quickly, the key to this plan is whether we can deal with those Han troops, the core is still you." If we can't get the Han army, Pakovy will tie me up in minutes, but if we succeed, it's a matter of pushing the boat down."

On the avenue between Pei Shan City and Blue Mansion City, I saw a man wearing a Western Regions costume galloping on the avenue on a horse, he was carrying a burden, his expression was grim, and his slightly delicate appearance did not look like a man who grew up in the Western Regions, but like a Han man. When the horse was on the road, I suddenly saw two old and one young taking refuge under a subordinate tree, and I saw the man's expression in pain, and the other big and one small were crying on one side, and the cry reached the rider's ears. Out of compassion, the rider stepped forward to look.

I saw that the injured man's back was dyed with a crimson patch, which was clearly a back injury, looking at its direction, it was the direction of the Blue Building, could it be that the Blue Building City had changed?

The rider rode under the tree, but instead of dismounting, he stopped on his horse and handed over the medicine in his arms, "Here is the golden medicine, you should hurry up and heal him"

The woman on the side hurriedly walked up, took the medicine with both hands, and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you", and the woman began to help the man with the medicine. The man let out a stinging scream on Scarlet's back, and it took a few moments for the rider to ask, "Where did you come from, and why was he so badly injured?"

The woman said, "We took refuge in the Blue Mansion City, but this morning for some reason there was a sudden disturbance in the city, the Blue Mansion Army and the Han Army first fought, and then the Hun Army came outside!

The rider was so frightened that he was on his horse: "What! You make it clear, the three sides are fighting? Didn't the Huns retreat? Why did they come again?"

Where can the woman withstand such intimidation, she hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "The adults are above, the small ones don't know, we just heard the sound of rushing and killing, and then the city was in chaos, and we don't know anything else!"

The rider's expression was extremely angry, "It seems that what the envoy said is true, there is no army to help at all, it is all a strategy of the Huns, no, I want to go back quickly"

The woman suddenly asked, "Where is the benefactor?" The city has been in chaos, we fled here, and now no one is chasing us, but I am afraid that the Blue Mansion City has been more than auspicious."

The rider pointed to the east, "You go east as soon as possible, it's safe to go east now, I have to go to the Blue Building as soon as possible to see if something is wrong, and then I can go back Pei Shan!

Suddenly, there was a tingling pain in the tip of the right eye, and a short crossbow arrow passed through the rider's abdomen, and the rider fell off his horse in pain, "Who are you? You are not residents of the Blue House at all"

I saw a man and a woman holding a sharp blade in their hands, and said with a smile: "Of course we are not, we are Huns!"

The man smiled and said, "This friend, we are here, we have been waiting for you for a long time, I guess you still have a letter with you."

The rider was injured in the abdomen and could not move at all, but he still struggled to draw his saber, "If you want letters, it depends on your ability! Even if you die, I will pull you on your back" After saying that, he rushed forward desperately!

The man lifted the blade, parryed the rider's short knife, his rapid breathing and weak swing, the man just sneered, "We are not in a hurry, the arrows are highly poisonous, I want to see how long you can hold out? a quarter of an hour? or two quarters of an hour?"

The rider's heart sank, and the more he waved, the more he found himself already top-heavy and his vision blurred. "You ...... After a stalemate for a while, the rider finally struggled desperately for a while, and finally collapsed weakly, and before he fell, he looked unwillingly to the west.......

A man and a woman stepped on the rider's corpse, the poison was activated and flowed all over the body, and the lips were still faintly purple, and the man sighed, "It's not dead, I know it's dead, and I'm already going to fight to the death"

Female: "Don't say it, find out where those letters are first, the letters of the Han army are basically sealed by special things, we have to be careful, otherwise we will fall short"

Rare nodded, "Don't look for it here first, carry it back to the camp and take care of this person in Haosheng."
