Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3153

Yuan Wei stood on the top of the western city gate with his helmet on his back, his hand on his waist knife, and his confidants on the left and right.

Lanterns were lit on the city wall, but outside the city wall was pitch black, and the weak river flowed by, like a monster crouching and panting in the darkness.

"Captain, someone wants to see you."

A subordinate hurried up the steps behind the city gate to report.

Yuan Wei tightened his hand holding the waist knife, and asked, "Where is the man?"

"Just under the city gate."

"Ah."

Yuan Wei hummed, walked down the steps, and came to the gate of the city.

The inside of the city was pitch black, and it became increasingly apparent that the front of the city gate was bright, with every detail visible.

A table of ordinary people stood by the roadside, one of them smiled warmly, stood with his hands behind his back, and was bowing his hands to Yuan Wei.

Yuan Wei strode forward, looked directly at Changsun Han, and said in a deep voice, "Are you all ready?"

Changsun Han nodded with a smile, and stretched out his hand to point backward. In the dark streets and alleys, a group of chariots and horses were parked by the side of the road.

Yuan Wei said: "It's not too late, get out of the city quickly. If something goes wrong, remember to bite your tongue and don't implicate me in it."

Changsun Han said solemnly: "Lieutenant Yuan, don't worry, it should be like this."

He also knew that Yuan Wei had a lot to do with this move, and once someone found out, he would be punished by the military law. As Guan Long's disciples, the two of them were on the same page, and even if they got out, they would definitely not confess to Yuan Wei.

After all, judging from Yuan Wei's performance, he is loyal to the Changsun family, which is a very important pawn. Now that the Changsun family has declined, and its influence in the army has been declining again and again, it seems that Yuan Wei can play a leading role in the army. There are fewer and fewer children who can play important roles at critical moments...

Yuan Wei turned his head and waved at his confidantes, and said in a low voice, "Open the city gate."

Several confidants were stunned for a moment, and one of them hurriedly said: "Lieutenant, Sima has an order that during the curfew at night, you are not allowed to leave the city alone, and the west gate leads directly to the main road, and you can go directly to the direction of Dashi..."

"I want you to teach? Follow orders quickly!"

Yuan Wei scolded in a low voice, and glared at his subordinates.

Several subordinates did not dare to say any more, so they ran over in fear and commanded the soldiers to open the city gate quietly.

The convoy started slowly, one after another, and filed out from the city gate.

Changsun Han accompanied Yuan Wei standing outside the city gate, watching the camel caravan slowly leave the city.

Yuan Wei glanced at Changsun Han, sighed, and said, "I'm not really a coward, but Xue Sima's army is strict and the military law is ruthless. If something is leaked, his life will definitely be lost. Tomorrow, I will simply invite you to the city." Repair the city wall outside, and remove the duty of guarding the city. In that way, even if there is news, you can still quibble."

Changsun Han was stunned: "The Arabs are coming at a fast pace. The vanguard is only a few hundred miles away from Suiye City, and they will arrive in a few days. What's the use of repairing the city wall at this time? Xue Sima issued an order to drive all the merchants to All the goods have been evacuated to Luntai City, is it possible that there is still a plan to defend Suiye City?"

The army issued an order to evacuate merchants and merchants, and everyone knew that the Anxi Army did not intend to defend Suiye City to the death, nor could it.

But since it can't be defended, why repair the city wall before the enemy's attack?
It's just taking off your pants and farting, it's superfluous...

"Ah!"

Yuan Wei chuckled, and said: "If you talk about business and trade, brother Changsun certainly has a well-thought-out plan, but when it comes to deploying troops and fighting against the enemy, our Xue Sima is by no means in vain. Xue Sima is not only the Duke of Yue The confidant loves the general, and is favored by all the big men in the military. That is a real skill. Suiye City is undefendable. This is something that women and children know. When the city underestimated the enemy and was careless, it might be a big somersault... It's just that Suiye City was built too hastily at the beginning, and now the foundation has sunk, causing many cracks in the wall. Normally, nothing can be seen, but if The enemy army used siege equipment to attack the city, which could easily collapse the entire city wall. Therefore, it must be reinforced. Xue Sima led the soldiers who dared to die in the army to lie in ambush. It can catch the enemy by surprise and win a big victory."

Changsun Han gasped and exclaimed: "The enemy army has hundreds of thousands of people. Even if the plan succeeds, these dare-to-die soldiers will be trapped in the enemy's siege. Isn't that courting death?"

Yuan Wei shook his head and said: "Where is it so easy to be surrounded by the enemy? This Suiye City is close to Suiye Water, and the river is surging. It is only necessary to reserve some ships in advance, and when the time comes to kill the enemy and fight for a bloody road, even if the enemy With three heads and six arms, how can we catch up? Our Xue Sima is a master of war, and we will definitely not let ourselves fall into a tight siege."

Speaking of this, he probably felt that it was inconvenient to reveal too much military secrets to Changsun Han, so he coughed dryly and said, "The camel team is almost gone, Brother Changsun, please."

Changsun Han's eyes flickered, he cupped his hands, and said politely: "Thanks to the captain's help this time, this matter will be reported to the Patriarch truthfully. The Changsun family will remember it in their hearts, and I am very grateful. This matter is very important, and I will not talk nonsense , the mountains are high and the waters are far away, when we meet again in the future, I will express my gratitude again!"

Yuan Wei raised his hand to return the salute, and urged: "Such words don't need to be said too much, cherish them all the way."

Changsun Han saluted solemnly, then turned around to greet his camel caravan, and slowly left the city through the opened west gate.The long camel caravan was fully loaded with goods, and it took half a stick of incense before all of them left the city, and disappeared into the vast night outside the city without a sound.

Several subordinates breathed a sigh of relief, quickly closed the city gate, and sternly told the nearby soldiers not to let it out that someone sneaked out of the city.

The soldiers were even more terrified. Such a violation of military orders would definitely be severely punished once it was found out. Who would dare to speak out?

*****
The convoy left the west city gate and quickly disappeared into the night.

After traveling for dozens of miles, the gate tower of Suiye City could not be seen when looking back, Changsun Han then led a few confidants, rode on horses and whipped their horses, and quickly left the group and galloped towards the southwest.

The purpose of his trip was not for the so-called sale of goods and exchange for losses, but as long as the Anxi army in Suiye City did not catch up, the camel caravan walked along this road, and within two days they would encounter Arabs. The vanguard will hand over the transported goods to the Arabs at that time, which can be regarded as a small gift from the eldest grandson's family.

As for himself, there is naturally a big gift to be delivered to the head of the Arab army in person, and the sooner the better...

Two days later, Changsun Han finally encountered the Arab army in the territory of Kangju.

First, the Arab scouts found Changsun Han's trail, and immediately called a group of scouts holding scimitars and long bows, and surrounded Changsun Han and others beside a sand dune.

Changsun Han was afraid that these scouts would misunderstand him, and if he killed himself as a scout from the Tang Dynasty, it would be a great injustice, so he quickly rolled off the horse, raised his hands high, and shouted: " I want to see the commander-in-chief of your army, and I have something important to tell you!"

Since, as a scout, he broke into the territory of the Western Regions to annihilate the Anxi Army, the scouts naturally knew some languages ​​of the countries of the Western Regions and the Tang Dynasty.

Hearing Chang Sun Han's words, a team of scouts did not dare to specialize, they quickly tied up Chang Sun Han and the others, put them on horseback and escorted them back to the army.

Changsun Han was jolted so dizzy that his internal organs almost shifted...

This group of scouts reported layer by layer, and finally got the permission of the coach Ye Qide to bring Changsun Han to the camp of the Chinese army after sunset.

Changsun Han was tormented by these scouts until he untied the rope, and quickly rubbed the sore places on his body, and found many bruises.

He was very angry, but he had a heavy responsibility and he was in the Arab army, so he didn't dare to get angry at will, so he had to hold his breath and went to the tent of the Chinese army, and saw Yezid, a strong figure with a beard on his face.

"I'm Ye Qide, the commander in chief of the army, who are you?"

Speaking blunt Tang dialect, Ye Qide asked in a deep voice.

Changsun Han took two steps forward, and after saluting, he said, "I am a son of Changsun's family in Chang'an. By the order of the Patriarch, I have a letter for the commander in chief."

As he spoke, he lifted up his robe, twitched a thread on the hem of the skirt, and immediately tore apart the stitched skirt, which turned out to be an interlayer, then pulled out a piece of thin silk from it, and handed it to Ye Qide with both hands.

The eyeballs of several scouts in the tent stared straight. The Han people are really treacherous, and they still have such hidden means?
They searched the Han man several times back and forth...

Ye Qide asked someone to take over the silk and held it in his hand. He felt that the fabric was light and soft. The light shone on it, shining with crystal and moist light. He couldn't help but love it like a treasure. Look at this fabric, it is better than the robe my father wore when he worshiped the prophet on the day of his enthronement, what a treasure!"

Changsun Han was speechless for a while.

Baby fart, it's just a piece of silk, shouldn't you first see what is embroidered on the silk?

This Arab coach looks a bit out of tune...
