Da Wei Chun

Chapter 613 Saburo
"So what if we don't put them back? Knowing that they are scouts, and they have nearly a hundred riders, you know that the rear is located near the left, and there are quite a few of them. If you don't put them back, wouldn't it be poking a hornet's nest?"

Zhang Jingzhi replied slowly and methodically, "If Xi Zhonglang has other ideas, he can lead the two hundred cavalry in pursuit. I think the team of scouts didn't run very far..."

Daxi was dumbfounded.

I chase a bird feather?
Even the scouts who explored the road had nearly a hundred riders, so it was known that their tribe was designated as a powerful and powerful family in Beizhen, and they were not from a large family.There are thousands of tents at least, thousands of tents at most, and thousands or even thousands of riders can be collected casually.

Just the two hundred riders under his command may not be enough to fit between the teeth.

Daxi was dissatisfied, since Zhang Jingzhi was interrogating the news, why didn't he be called together?
What's more, even if you want to let go, you shouldn't let them all go.Otherwise, with empty mouth and white teeth, how can I return to my father's life?And with his father's suspicious nature, he would definitely suspect that Zhang Jingzhi was deceiving him again, and would even blame himself for not being able to be reused, and being repeatedly teased by Zhang Jingzhi in the applause.

Thinking back to the beginning of the journey, from his father's explanation, Da Xi Yufa felt that Zhang Jingzhi had selfish intentions, and a hint of unpredictability naturally appeared on his face.

The two have been under Xi Kangsheng's account for several years, and Zhang Jingzhi knows his temperament very well.Naturally, he could guess what he was thinking.

He got up and pointed to the outside of the tent: "Zhonglang Moyou, there is a purpose in doing something. The reason why you let the team leader go is just to make room for favors. Don't look at what is left outside the account?

A certain wanted to take advantage of his familiarity with the location and let him act as a guide to explore further north.If Zhonglang is interested, take it and ask again..."

Daxi took a look outside, and sure enough, he saw a dozen soldiers standing outside the tent, wearing leather armor outside and crotch shirt (vest) inside, all with bare arms, all dressed in northern clothes.

At this point, Daxi finally felt better, he bowed his hands to Zhang Jingzhi, and took the dozens of soldiers back to the camp without hesitation.

This is not shy at all, showing that he dare not believe in Zhang Jingzhi at all.

Zhang Jingzhi couldn't laugh or cry, and sighed sadly.

Daxi is the son of Xi Kangsheng, with a solid temperament, not deep in the city, and he has a close relationship with Li Chengzhi, and Zhang Jingzhi is Xi Kangsheng's arm, so the two are considered close.

But ever since Li Chengzhi fought against Qizhou and was defeated by Yu Chencang of Zhong, Yuanli, and Changyi, and Daxi led the army back, the two have become inseparable, and things are getting worse every day.

The reason is the two thousand Jiaqi that were folded in Chencang.

For some reason, Xi Kangsheng said with certainty that the two thousand cavalry were all veteran soldiers, even if the battle of Chen Cang was extremely tragic and unprecedented, it shouldn't be that they were all killed and injured, none of them survived.

The implication is that Li Chengzhi has tampered with and hid the two thousand old Baijia tribes that originally belonged to his Li family.

Of course there is no evidence, but Zhang Jingzhi knows that nine out of ten what Xi Kangsheng said is true.

Li Chengzhi took care of everything very cleanly, even his uncle kept everything secret, and Zhang's family was crying and distraught.

Because among the two thousand old ministries, there are more than twenty children of the Zhang family alone.However, the Zhang family moved to Guanzhong only for a few generations, and the population was not very prosperous.And these twenty or so children are still the backbone of the clan.In order to help Zhang Xinyi lead the army, he was personally transferred to serve as Brigade Commander, Sima Commander, Zhuang Commander and so on.

With so many deaths, wouldn't it be the old life of Mrs. Chao?

The tribe not only complained about Li Chengzhi, but even the head of the family also suffered from various diseases, blaming him for not knowing people well.

Zhang Jingzhi was in pain and couldn't tell. His tooth was broken and he could only swallow it in his stomach.

The reason why he was so sure was that his father Zhang Wei didn't see the slightest bit of grief after so many direct descendants died.

It must be that Li Chengzhi was afraid that the old man would be too sad, so he sent someone to let him know.

Zhang Jingzhi can even guess who Li Chengzhi sent.

If not for Zhang Xinyi, then for Zhang Xingyi.These two are the direct elder brothers of Jing Mo and the direct grandsons of the father, and the ancestors would not doubt a single word of the letter passed by these two.

Knowing that Li Chengzhi had good intentions, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to do so, but Jingzhi was still unyielding.

The old man is even worse than Li Shao?

After cursing secretly for a while, Zhang Jingzhi hesitated again: Shall we take this opportunity to go to Bigan City to find out the truth?
Even if you don't see Li Chengzhi, you will definitely see his trusted servants.

But how can he think of a way to throw Daxi away?

……

Under the city of Bigan, Li Feng was shirtless, barefoot, wearing only a calf-nosed jacket, lying on his back under the felt tent.

The walls around the tent were raised to the top of the tent, and only the pillars stood, like a big umbrella cover.When there is a cool breeze blowing, I feel even more comfortable.

There are several tables in front of you, and there are some snacks, dried meat, and dried fruits.

Yuan Wei didn't have dim sum at first, and seldom fried pasta in oil. Mostly, he mixed some meat oil with the pasta and fried it.

Therefore, when the snow-like icing sugar, sugar crisps, glutinous rice strips, twists, etc. made of white sugar were first released, they became famous in Luojing, and Li Chengzhi was praised by the world.

It's a pity that today's Beijingers have no good food, but prefer Xihai instead.

He weighed a candied pastry and threw it into his mouth, Li Feng chewed it loudly.Taking another sip of the fruit wine handed over by his confidant, he felt even more refreshed and wanted to snort twice.

It looks extremely extravagant, but in fact, these items are just ordinary things in Xihai.

The icing is not icing sugar, but caramel sugar. It is only because Li Chengzhi has improved it, so the cost is not high, but the sweetness is extremely strong.And the preparation method is also simple, and then deep-fried with meat oil, it is naturally crispy and delicious
Fruit wine is blended with discarded defective products due to insufficient alcohol content when preparing medicinal wine.But even so, when Li Song was in charge of Hexi, most of them had to be sold to Hu merchants, or trafficked to Tuyuhun, or even Nanliang, to exchange for food.

It wasn't until Li Chengzhi returned that everyone's life became easier.But it is only limited to high-level people like Li Feng, who have a small amount of rations every month.Because he was away on an expedition, Li Chengzhi also specifically confessed that he had to bring some more.

However, Li Feng doesn't have a good appetite, and it's the hot summer, so whether it's fruity or pastry, if it's not stored properly, it may deteriorate.Li Feng simply took advantage of the opportunity of the discussion to win over people's hearts.

There are forty or fifty of the battalion leaders, Sima, and brigade commanders under his command sitting in the tents.At this time, the discussion was over, and everyone sat around, laughing and having fun.

It's not that Ji Huan San of Li Feng's camp, it's just the first time he's been in the army in the past two months since he left the army.

It is true that the situation is going smoothly, and the whole army from Li Feng down is overjoyed.

It has been more than a month in Bigan City, but they haven't fought a battle yet?
At most, there are Beizhen tribes who didn't know the basics in the early stage, and didn't want to move to the deserted desert for thousands of miles, so they wanted to climb over Langshan and Nanbedshan to reach the deserted land, but the water and grass are quite lush. Pasture.

I only thought that the six towns were in chaos, and even the defenders of Woye who were about to rush to Gaoque Pass had been recalled to the town by Luo Jian, so there was a garrison in Bigan City, only a few hundred or a thousand more.

Who knows that as soon as Fang crossed Langshan, he saw the army tents like clouds, with more than ten thousand armored horses?

No matter how tough the head is, which tribe is willing to risk being exterminated to make wedding dresses for others?

Naturally, as soon as Li Feng dispatched the cavalry team to move out, the tribes who arrived at the mountain pass scattered like birds and beasts.

In just a few days, all the townspeople and tribes who escaped from the six towns have learned that Rouran's army is stationed outside Bigan City, with tens of thousands of armored riders, so no one dares to cross Langshan Mountain.

For the time being, Li Feng didn't know if it was as Mr. Lang expected, when the news spread to the six towns, the situation would definitely become more chaotic, but at least he knew that his [-] army was too idle to panic.

No wonder Mr. Lang would say that giving him five thousand soldiers is too much?

But Li Feng has always been cautious and never thinks there are too many soldiers.Besides, it’s all here, can it be withdrawn again?

Anyway, he was idle, so he simply sent a fast horse back to Zhenyi to ask Li Chengzhi for tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, and sent three camps to herd them at the foot of Nanbed Mountain every day, which can be regarded as a relief for Li Chengzhi and Li Song. .

On the contrary, the scene when Rouran dispatched troops was completely disguised.

After another half a month of being carefree like this, Li Feng felt a little sorry.Today, all the generals are called together in one tent, just to discuss one or two: It is now the beginning of June, and the spring wheat in the north of Heli Mountain is about to be harvested, whether to send two battalions of infantry back to the city to help take advantage of it.

Deputy Marshal Zhang Xinyi and Sima Huangfuzhong's suggestion is to wait first, even if the dust settles in the Six Towns, we have to wait until Luo Jian and Changsun Dao are stronger and weaker, and it will not be too late to make a decision .

What's more, the West Sea now only thinks that there is little land and too many people, even if the five battalions of infantry are sent back, it won't be of much help.Simply garrison Bigan City with peace of mind, just in case.

Most of the generals under his command thought so, so Li Feng followed suit.

On weekdays, each is stationed in each battalion, and even if he is called and returned, he will report to each other.After finally getting together, Li Feng put on such a posture, and ordered the back battalion to slaughter hundreds of sheep and distribute them to each battalion, so they were regarded as laborers.

Li Feng has always been cautious, now that it's wartime, he naturally dare not let the generals get drunk, so although the food is plentiful, all the wine on the table is light wine, and each person is only a catty.

Some daring ones yelled that they were too indifferent, and begged Li Feng to let him bring out a few jars of the spirits given to him by the lord, but Li Feng laughed and scolded him.

That stuff is now worth hundreds of gold, and when sold to Tuyuhun, it is only five catties for a jar, enough to exchange for ten war horses.

A horse is ten gold, isn't an altar worth a hundred gold?

But when he learned that Tuyuhun was not bought for banquets, but that it could heal wounds, he hid them all, so Li Chengzhi stopped selling them.

In this way, it is natural that rare goods can be lived in, and the price has more than doubled...

A group of irritable guys, with so much energy that they had nowhere to vent their energy, and at this moment they couldn't keep up with their drinks, actually set up a ring and fought each other.

All of a sudden, there was thunderous cheers and laughter in the camp.

I am very interested in watching it, and another army will report that it has captured the secret work in the north of Nanbed Mountain.

Yuan Wei and Rouran were bounded by South Bed Mountain. Since they came from the north of the mountain, there is no doubt that Rouran should be carefully crafted.

But didn't Mr. Lang say that with him sitting in the rear, there would never be a creeping soldier or a Humin appearing in the south of the moraine?
Where did these details come from?

Li Feng was startled: "Hu family?"

"It's not a Hu Qi, but a Han Chinese dress!"

The general pondered for a while, and leaned into Li Feng's ear again, "The strange thing is that the leader of the secret service claimed to be from Xiazhou. He was ordered by the Taiwei Gao Zhao to go to the West Sea to see the Lord. I came, but because I didn’t take good care of it, I got lost on the way..."

Saburo, Li Chengxue?

Li Feng's face changed drastically, and he stood up suddenly: "Where is the person, why don't you bring it up?"

……

Li Chengxue cut the horse meat vigorously. After cutting it off, it was divided into small pieces the size of a palm, and then placed on a piece of horse hide next to it.

The horse hair has been scraped off, leaving only a skin covered with a thick layer of salt.In this way, the skin will not be spoiled, and the horse meat in it will not deteriorate easily after being wrapped.

He didn't want much, just a hundred catties, and no amount of horses would be able to carry it.But it should be enough for him to go to the West Sea.

Not far away, there was an empty horse tied to the root of a red willow. I wonder if it smelled blood, and it pawed its hooves from time to time, feeling very uneasy.

Li Chengxue pondered for a while, picked up the bag of salt and walked over, feeding a handful to the mouths of each of the war horses.

It has been more than a month since we set off from Jinming County.During this journey, he was uncharacteristically, no longer the rebellious and unruly way he was in Jinming County, and he didn't take soft and hard things, but was extremely well-behaved.

The generals who guarded him only thought that Li Chengxue knew that he was going to the West Sea and would escape, so he was naturally very happy.

Just like that, all these thousands of miles were peaceful, and the general gradually let go of his vigilance.Furthermore, since Fuming Town bypassed Langshan Mountain, it has become the boundary of Rouran.Now it is vast and thousands of miles away, and there is no human habitation. Even if Li Chengxue wants to escape, he has nowhere to escape, and the supervision is even more lax.

Little did he know that Li Chengxue had made a decision long ago, and was always thinking about how to escape.

He first flattered the soldiers who guarded him closely, and each sent a bead to make them relax their vigilance.

After that, he pretended to be a young man, and he was surprised by everything he saw, but whenever he was stationed in the camp, he ran around everywhere, and his favorite place was the back tent.

These two packs of salt were stolen a little every day, and after nearly a month of saving, they only managed to gather more than ten catties.

Then Yu overwhelmed the soldiers guarding him on a night of high winds and dark moons, set a fire in Yu's camp, and stole two more horses before he escaped.

It sounds unremarkable, but only Li Chengxue knows the difficulties and dangers involved.

Regardless of the rest, now that one horse is used as rations by him, it will take nearly two thousand miles to rely on this one remaining horse, and it will take at least forty or fifty days.

And it is still under the premise that you must not get lost.

Besides, God knows if they will encounter wolves, horse bandits?

Even a small tribe with more than ten tents can kill him.

And what worries him the most is the weather.

I only stole a thin tent, which at most can protect me from light wind and rain.Not to mention the black wind, just a slightly heavier rain may cause him to die of illness on the way...

But that's it, there's no use worrying.Li Chengxue let out a long sigh, turned around and continued cutting the horse meat.

But after only two cuts, he froze suddenly.

There seemed to be a rumbling sound in his ears, like thunder.But looking up again, it is clear that the wind is sunny and the sky is clear?

After being stunned for a moment or two, Li Chengxue leaned over sharply and put his ear on the grass.

The rumbling sound was clearer and continuous.

His face turned pale, and he jumped out of the mountain like flying.

Dust is flying in the distance, and yellow smoke is like a dragon.Countless white shadows galloped towards the west and east...
