Tang Dynasty: After dominating Rome, I counterattacked Chang'an

Chapter 55 The entire camp assembled and arrived at the agreed place like a ghost!
A few days later.

An inn on the border between Wu County and Danyang County.

This inn used to have good business. I heard that the owner wanted to sell it a few days ago, and it was bought by an outsider.

From then onwards,

The inn's business is getting worse day by day and is almost deserted.

However, today, the inn is unexpectedly popular.

The guests who come to the inn are also extraordinary.

They...are Pei Xingjian and nearly a thousand white-robed riders!

original.

This inn was bought by the soldiers of Yaoguang Camp and used as a base for their own army.

Their wealth all came from the West. They plundered the entire West for ten years, and their accumulated wealth was extremely terrifying, so they did not need to do business and had enough funds to run the inn.

There are dozens of similar settlements in the whole Jiangdong, and Yaoguang Camp has taken over dozens of them in recent days.

But recently,

Most of the places to stay were closed, and people responded to Pei Xingjian's call and rushed here from all over Jiangdong.

What Pei Xingjian said was very clear.

He wants to gather all the soldiers of Yaoguang Camp to fight against Chai Shao!
"General, you are finally here."

The soldier from the Yaoguang Camp who was in charge of running the inn, claiming to be the innkeeper, slowly walked over.

Pei Xingjian glanced at him and said calmly, "Is everything cleaned up?"

This means that there are no outsiders in the inn.

The innkeeper replied, "I received your order and cleaned up everything a few days in advance. Not only will no one come to the inn, I have also bought up all the nearby areas."

"The original residents have been driven away, so it can be used as a resting place for our troops."

This inn is located in the wilderness. Although there are residents nearby, there are only about twenty households at most.

In the past, the inn's business mainly came from wanderers from all over the country, but recently the inn owner sent people to seal off the main road leading to this place.

The rangers will not come and will go somewhere else instead.

He drove away all the regular customers, and the original residents nearby received a large amount of money, sold their houses contentedly and left.

It can be said,
The area around the inn has become a deserted place.

It is large enough to accommodate all the more than 2,000 soldiers of the Yaoguang Camp, so they can rest well without anyone knowing.

This place is owned by the innkeeper. After receiving the order from Pei Xingjian, he began to clean up the surrounding area on his own initiative.

This was the tacit understanding that the Yaoguang Camp had during the ten-year history of the Western War.

As long as they know the general's call for orders, the general doesn't need to say anything, and everyone will do the rest silently.

And only then can they become the elite army of Dayan!

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Pei Xingjian nodded in praise.

No one in this inn or its surrounding areas knew that Yaoguangying had arrived.

And along the way,

From Wangshiwan to here, Pei Xingjian led three Yaoguang teams and kept rushing towards the uninhabited area.

Maybe some people on the road saw it, but they were only a minority.

It's harmless and the overall whereabouts are secretive enough.

In other words.

Pei Xingjian led three Yaoguang teams from Wangshi Bay to the inn without being exposed to the sight of the Tang army and the people.

They were like wandering souls, and it took them several days to reach the inn from Wangshi Bay.

"Have the rest of the Yaoguang team arrived?"

Pei Xingjian asked.

The innkeeper shook his head. "Not yet, General. You are the first to arrive."

Pei Xingjian replied, "Okay, I understand. Take your men and quickly settle our soldiers. We have been traveling all the way these past few days and everyone is tired."

The innkeeper smiled and said, "Okay! Before you, General, arrive, I'll take people to the county market to buy things these days. We have everything to eat here now!"

"I'll make arrangements right away!"

There are a total of five Yaoguang Battalion soldiers in this place, including the innkeeper. These five people are responsible for feeding more than 2,000 people in Yaoguang Battalion. In addition, they also have to drive away regular customers and buy and sell nearby fields. It can be said that they have been very busy these days.

But the innkeeper didn't say anything, he just kept it in his heart.

The innkeeper left with a smile, but halfway through, he seemed to think of something and stopped where he was.

He seemed to be... caught in some kind of inner struggle.

"what happened?"

Pei Xingjian asked first.

The innkeeper turned around, his eyes somewhat dejected, and asked tentatively: "General, did Commander Li of the Third Squadron...all die in battle?"

Pei Xingjian was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "There is still one person alive, but perhaps... our army will have to go to war before he returns."

"In a sense, they have all died in battle."

Upon hearing this, the innkeeper's eyes became even more desolate.

Lower your head,
Not a word was said.

Silence spreads here.

Pei Xingjian and the innkeeper all felt heavy-hearted.

"Ah, General, no more talking. I'll go and make arrangements for everyone."

Finally the innkeeper reacted, said goodbye hurriedly and left.

Looking at his departing back, Pei Xingjian could clearly see how the fists of that slightly thin figure were clenched tightly.

Pei Xingjian looked and looked...
He kept watching until the innkeeper completely disappeared from his sight.

Then he sighed.

Then, his eyes and even all the organs in his body seemed to be filled with hatred.

“Chai Shao….”

Pei Xingjian narrowed his eyes slightly, which were filled with murderous intent: "My Yaoguang Camp has been established for ten years, and there have only been two records of an entire team being wiped out."

"You...created the third, most shameful incident for our battalion! Wait, wait for me...wait for our army to settle accounts with you."

"Whoosh!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he threw away his cloak with his right hand and left.

……

After several days of long journey, after arriving at the inn, nearly a thousand Yaoguang white-robed riders finally had a place to relax.

And there was also a rich meal of meat waiting for them.

Everyone let down their guard, opened up and enjoyed this hard-earned time.

Or...the last moments.

They all understood that if the enemy could annihilate an entire Yaoguang team, they would be able to annihilate a second one, and they might even die in the process.

In addition, Your Highness and the General have been afraid of this land, the King of Qin and his generals for the past ten years.

They felt even heavier in their hearts.

Almost everyone prepared for the worst and regarded this as the last sumptuous meal.

Because after this,

They will launch a surprise attack near Wu County and, following the general's orders, attack Chai Shao's Qingzhou Camp!

Everyone enjoyed the meal and told each other about their achievements in the past or in this life.

Also at this time,

Many soldiers of the Yaoguang Camp felt the ground shaking slightly.

Silently, they all stopped eating.

Look towards where the sound comes from.

Nearly a thousand pairs of eyes looked at the peaceful horizon.

And the next moment,
The first figure on horseback appeared on the horizon, followed by the second, the third... hundreds of them!
"The Sixth Yaoguang Team of Jiangdong Kuaiji County has arrived at the Yaoguang Inn!"

Among those figures, someone spoke loudly.

original.

The cavalrymen were dressed in white robes and had the same origin as them.

They are their colleagues.
