The man's unwilling roar, along with the blowing sea breeze, reached the ears of Zhang Liang and others who were gradually moving away.
Zhang Liang, who had become complacent because of winning the battle, suddenly stiffened when he heard the shouting, and then turned back to look at the helmsman in surprise. Although he didn't say anything, a blind man could see what he meant.
"Bear? Bear State?"
When the helmsman saw Zhang Liang looking straight at him, he immediately panicked! He hurriedly asked his deputy to find the map and open it!
Then several heads came together to study it carefully, and finally unanimously came to the conclusion:
That person was right, he seemed to have really crossed the line...
"General? That is really the Xiongzhou of Baekje. We made a mistake. What should we do?" After a moment, the bearded general looked at Zhang Liang carefully and asked with annoyance on his face.
Zhang Liang's face was also ugly and tense at this moment.
Nowadays, when sending troops, it is important to make each division famous!
When he attacked Goguryeo, it was because Goguryeo provoked him first, and besides, those stick soldiers even sent troops ashore to plunder!
With such righteousness in his heart, even if he turns Goguryeo upside down, at least he can still stand his ground!
But Baekje, Baekje didn't offend them? Not only did they not offend them, Baekje was also the first group to submit letters of credence to the Tang Dynasty, requesting attachment to the vassal state.
Now, I have muddle-headedly slapped a younger brother from my own country. I am afraid this debt will not be easy to settle!
Just like that, after thinking about it, Zhang Liang finally sank his face and stared: "Bah! What are you from Xiongzhou and Gouzhou? Don't listen to their noise! This must be those treacherous villains who deliberately mislead us, don't pay attention to it!
"
"Ah?" The bearded general was shocked when he heard this!
The map is obviously a fool's errand, but now the general says it's a lie? This is too much of a lie.
When Zhang Liang saw the beard's stunned look, he glared at him with hatred: "Ah what? That's it, tell other ships that this is the end of Goguryeo and we are done! Ban Shi, return to the court.
!”
Class teacher? Return to court?
When they heard that they could finally go back, everyone on the boat suddenly cheered!
It's been several days since they came out this time! Although it has always been smooth sailing, the looting... ahem, the things they seized were also piled high.
But who wouldn't be excited to hear that they can go home? At this time, who has the mind to care about whether they have just crossed the border or not, whether they are in Xiongzhou or not?
Besides, even if the call is wrong, so what? The truth is in their hands now.
The spring breeze is so proud that the horse's hoofs are broken, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day!
Just as Zhang Liang's ship was fully loaded and heading towards Dengzhou.
Outside Dengzhou City, a fast horse was galloping along the official road!
This horse is an excellent stagecoach!
The sharp edges are thin and the bones are thin, the bamboo ears are steep, and the wind blows into the four hooves lightly!
This kind of top-notch stagecoach can only be used when the most urgent battle is reported! Even if it can't travel eight hundred at night and a thousand a day, it's not much different.
Although the knight on the horse looked tired from a distance, and even the red feathers on his back were mostly blown off by the strong wind, he still held the reins tightly with his hands, blood red.
Eyes, stare straight ahead!
Outside Dengzhou City, there is a small official road inn.
The person in charge of this hotel is a somewhat elderly, thin old man.
Since Dengzhou is almost located in the easternmost part of the entire Tang Dynasty and is not a transit route, there are not many important events that need to be conveyed on weekdays.
Therefore, this inn is very small, with only two thatched houses and a small stable.
On weekdays, this thin old man is the only one here raising horses, sweeping the floor, and at most taking the horses out for a walk. His life is very leisurely.
If these days continue for a few more years, the thin old man can "retire" with honor.
But if you want your son to take over this place before retirement, that would be the best thing.
As an ordinary messenger who had worked all his life, the thin old man did not have any great aspirations, and he did not dare to expect his son to succeed and become a high-ranking official.
In his simple world, as long as his son can also be a messenger and have no worries about eating from now on, that would be the best outcome.
Don’t believe it?
Then look at the common people and the gentry outside the city!
After a catastrophe, people starve to death and become homeless!
How could he stay in this small inn, eating the grain allocated by the imperial court, the salary distributed by the imperial court, and occasionally spending money on fodder for horses and beans to feed the horses comfortably?
Just as he was thinking this, the thin old man holding the broom suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance.
So, he leaned on the broom, opened his slightly hazy eyes, and tried hard to look towards the place where the sound came from.
There, a fast horse was riding on the billowing smoke, like a yellow dragon, galloping towards me!
"Eh? This is? The Red Feather Messenger?"
He rubbed his eyes in disbelief. It wasn't until he saw the red feather stuck behind the horse's back that the thin old man suddenly realized: This turned out to be the imperial court's 800-mile emergency!
In my memory, the last time I saw the Red Feather Messenger was during the Sui Dynasty, right?
But here in Dengzhou, haven't they been catching fish for disaster relief recently? Is there any big event that can send red feather messengers to report it?
Thinking of this, the thin old man quickly took steps towards the official road.
To the northeast of the inn, among the military camps.
Xiao Han didn't know why today, but his right eyelid had been beating non-stop since the morning, and the frequency seemed to be getting faster and faster.
"The left eye jumps to wealth, the right eye jumps to disaster, this is my right eye...ah! Superstitious!"
After rubbing his right eyelid vigorously, Xiao Han spit on the ground viciously.
Then, just as he was about to find another place to catch up on his sleep, he heard a parrot-like movement coming from the aura outside the military camp: "Master Marquis, you are superstitious! Master Marquis, you are superstitious!"
"Superstitious? You are the only one who is superstitious! Your whole family is superstitious!"
Xiao Han, who was already in a bad mood because his right eyelid was twitching wildly, suddenly lost his good temper when he heard the shouting.
He gritted his teeth and cursed, and was about to turn away and ignore...
Not far away, an old man supported a young emissary, and with the guidance of the officers and soldiers along the way, he stumbled towards here.
"Master Marquis, secret message! Secret message from Chang'an!"
As the two people got closer and closer, the shouts coming from them became clearer!
After Xiao Han heard clearly that what they were shouting was a secret message and not a superstition, he touched his nose in embarrassment.
No wonder, this is a military camp!
Except for the red-feathered messenger who can pass through any city, village, yamen, or military camp at any time, at any place, how could others just sneak in casually?
