"Halfway through the journey, King Guangling said that the carriage was bumping and he was feeling dizzy, so he rested on the side of the road. They said that the king had some secret matters that were not easy for others to hear. We thought it was probably diarrhea or something, so we stayed away."
Luo Bing's expression changed drastically, "Yang Zhongyun has arranged for people to be beside the carriage all the way. How could you be so careless?"
The sergeant was so ashamed that he said, "Not long after, they said that King Guangling was talking nonsense and talking about ghosts and gods. The concubine panicked and wanted to go to the four directions. Two sergeants from our side came out to lead the way..."
Yang Xuan covered his forehead and thought, can praying to the four directions cure diseases?
"We have few doctors here. If someone is seriously ill, they will go to all directions." Another sergeant explained.
"No one came after waiting for a long time. Let's go and take a look. Two brothers were killed and those people disappeared. Then we came back and saw that the person in the carriage was just a chamberlain."
"What about the chamberlain?"
"Killed himself."
Excellent!
"Now we are catching up."
"What's the terrain like?"
"The left side leads to Luoluo, but it is close to the territory of the barbarians. Those barbarians are fierce and cruel. If they go in... they will probably die."
Someone whispered: "It has nothing to do with us."
A Taoist friend who will die in poverty but will never die.
Luo Bing looked pale.
"Yang Zhongyun, please take a step to speak."
When the two arrived at a remote place, Luo Bing said: "Where does Yang Zhongyun think King Guangling wants to go?"
Yang Xuan said calmly: "I don't know."
Luo Bing smiled bitterly, "It's about time, Yang Zhongyun, you and I should be united sincerely, otherwise... returning to exile this time will be easy."
Of course Yang Xuan knew this. At this moment, he was thinking about how to deal with this matter.
"At first glance, it is the fault of the Western Xinjiang garrison, but Chang'an was furious and would not care about the northern part of Western Xinjiang. Our duty is to escort King Guangling, but King Guangling is missing. If the official guessed correctly, he should be
Going to Luoluo, Yang Zhongyun, we are in great danger."
"Calm down."
Yang Xuan waved back, "Map!"
The map was spread on the dry ground, and Yang Xuan's fingers traced along the left side.
"Going through it on the left is Luoluo, but it is the territory of the barbarians."
"The Barbarians and Luoluo are mortal enemies and have been fighting each other for many years. Why did King Guangling go there?" Mo Congduan asked.
Luo Bing looked at him like an idiot and whispered: "Why do you think he went?"
Further ahead was a place where troops were densely stationed in Western Xinjiang, and King Guangling had no chance of escaping.
There is a way to survive if you go, but if you don't go, you will die.
The prince's dying blow gave the emperor a blow in the head. When did the emperor remember that the grandson of King Guangling had become a thorn in his side.
Yang Xuan looked at the map and asked: "How many people are chasing?"
"Two hundred riders."
"That should be enough."
Yang Xuan didn't think there was anything wrong with two hundred cavalry going to hunt down King Guangling.
"But we must follow and be more active."
No matter what happened, if King Guangling is captured, his guilt will be much lighter. Yang Xuan felt that he would stay in Chang'an for a while, and maybe have to eat soft rice for once.
Luo Bing praised: "Yang Zhongyun's words are very true."
Then everyone beat their horses and drove away.
Twenty miles ahead, the scout shouted: "There are corpses!"
Yang Xuanzong immediately stepped forward and saw several sergeants lying on the ground.
"have a look."
Uda dismounted to check and said: "Master, they are all fatal with one knife."
"Grass mud horse!" Yang Xuan dismounted with a dark face to check.
Each cut was not fatal, but each cut was very deep.
This was a powerful opponent. Yang Xuan seemed to have seen him swinging his sword casually, causing the approaching cavalry to fall off their horses.
"Prince Guangling has good hands at his side!"
Yang Xuan mounted his horse and said, "Pursue!"
Further forward, corpses can be seen from time to time.
"There is a living mouth."
The old thief found a seriously injured sergeant.
"Give him medicine!" Yang Xuan said through gritted teeth.
The old thief turned around and shook his head, his eyes gloomy.
Yang Xuan walked over and the sergeant gasped, "Yang Zhongyun."
Yang Xuan knelt down on one knee, "Brother, do you have anything else to say?"
The sergeant shook his head, "If you don't have a wife or children, it will save you trouble."
Yang Xuan sighed, "How is King Guangling doing?"
There was a look of fear in the sergeant's eyes, "That old man is very powerful. After breaking a knife, no one can beat him. He can even break a horizontal knife with one punch."
This is a master.
The sergeant's face turned red and he looked in good spirits. "Our people are brave and not afraid of death. They must...must..."
Yang Xuan reached out and wiped his eyes.
Standing up, he ordered: "Let's go around from the right side."
Yang Xuan led his army to detour from the right, preparing to capture King Guangling and his party.
On the fifth day, when he saw a small river, Yang Xuan reined in his horse.
On the left, dozens of disgraced riders had been arriving for a long time.
"Where are the people?" Yang Xuan asked.
He calculated the distance accurately and felt that he would definitely be able to stop King Guangling and his party.
"They took away many of our horses."
Needless to say, Yang Xuan knew the rest.
He said with some confusion: "Since you are outmatched, why don't you follow from a distance?"
The general said solemnly: "Even if you die, you must die on the way to kill the enemy."
Heroic, but stupid.
And he’s also an enemy!
Yang Xuan made many calculations, but he failed to realize that the leading general in Western Xinjiang was a fool!
He turned back slowly.
Luo Bing and others' faces were ashen.
"King Guangling has surrendered to the enemy."
The emperor was trying to deal with the prince, but he couldn't find an excuse. When King Guangling surrendered to the enemy, the old dog would secretly be happy, and then he would scold him, exposing the prince's wolfish ambitions, and he would be able to take the initiative later.
And Yang Xuan and others became cannon fodder.
Yang Xuan suddenly asked: "Who else is left with King Guangling?"
"That chamberlain committed suicide."
There is no doubt that he is a dead man.
"That old servant is very fierce and unbeatable." The general was a little frustrated.
But you still led your men to attack one after another... Yang Xuan wanted to start a rant, but after thinking about it, he felt it was boring.
The general was charged with the important task of welcoming King Guangling. King Guangling fled in the direction of Luoluo. His only way to deal with it was to keep chasing him.
That’s it!
Yang Xuan suddenly thought of someone, "Where is that Luoluo girl?"
The general shook his head and said, "Let's run away together."
The old thief trembled, "That's a spy!"
Yang Xuan looked pale.
He thought about many things.
The prince made a bold blow and allowed King Guangling to be crowned. He even calculated that the emperor would leave King Guangling in Western Xinjiang... and he must have prepared a backup plan in Western Xinjiang and arranged the manpower to support him.
And the old servant should also be the prince's secret son.
All of this is like a thread that connects the words and deeds of the former prince.
"This plan didn't happen overnight," the old thief said.
"He has been showing weakness, even pretending to be crazy and acting stupid, leaving people unsuspecting." Yang Xuan felt that everyone had underestimated the prince.
"Go back and report!" the general said listlessly.
He will be unlucky and will most likely be exiled.
The same is true for Yang Xuan and others...and because they are going back to Chang'an, Lao Gou's anger will come more directly.
Luo Bing and others' faces were ashen.
The old thief whispered: "If it doesn't work, just leave and go to the grassland."
Xin Wuji, Yang Xuan's secret son on the grassland, can use it at this time. Just change his name and Yang Xuan can start over on the grassland. But it will be more difficult.
Yang Xuan looked ahead, "Is the barbarian territory ahead?"
The general nodded, "Those barbarians were fierce. They had crossed the border many times to plunder, but after being attacked head-on by our Western Border, they learned their lesson. Now both sides are in peace."
"I want to take a look."
general:"……"
This is a way to survive in death.
Yang Xuan asked: "Who doesn't want to go?"
Luo Bing turned around, "Who doesn't want to go?"
"Who doesn't want to go?"
The questions continued without anyone shaking their heads.
Someone shouted: "Instead of going back to exile, it is better to go in and break in. If we can catch that thief, we can atone for our sins and even gain merit."
No one could have predicted King Guangling's escape, and he was still lost in the hands of the Western Xinjiang Army. If Yang Xuan and his people could get him back, it would be a great achievement.
The Western Xinjiang general smiled bitterly, "Yang Zhongyun's men are commendable for their courage, but I still have to remind you that those barbarians are really... fierce and not afraid of death."
"It's better to die than to go back, why not live in death." Yang Xuan also wanted to go to Xin Wuji and start over, but the Jibo Department and the Tiger Yu Department were on both sides, with Uncle Huang behind him and Chen Zhou in front of him.
How to toss and turn?
Yang Xuan glanced at the mountains in the distance and rode his horse across the river.
The soldiers behind him followed one by one.
Tu Shang coughed dryly, and Wang Laoer asked: "Is Tu Gong cold?"
Tu Shang shook his head and asked, "Were barbarians very brave?"
"I don't know." Wang Laoer looked at his hands, "No one gave me money this time. I'm a little sad."
The old thief rode his horse and walked side by side with Yang Xuan, and said in a low voice: "That woman must be the guide. We are not familiar with the place. We don't know where they have gone."
Yang Xuan turned around and said, "We will keep going south. Go to that small town in Ouda. Hurry up and ask who knows about the situation of the barbarians and bring them here."
Uda rode away with a few guards.
After crossing the river, some traces could still be seen. The old thief dismounted and said, "There is horse dung here." He picked up a pile of horse dung and broke it open. He looked at it and said, "It shouldn't be more than three hours old."
Yang Xuan looked ahead, there were woods and mountains, it looked like a wilderness area.
Along the way, in the afternoon, we saw a small tribe ahead.
"Lang Jun, are you going to be destroyed?" the old thief asked.
Yang Xuan said: "Wait until Wu Da comes back."
Before the small tribe noticed them, Yang Xuan and others retreated and set up camp.
"This bitch is really cruel!"
"It doesn't matter if he ran away, but he tricked us."
"No wonder the prince is under house arrest. Your Majesty is so kind."
The sergeants couldn't help but grumble.
Yang Xuan stood outside the camp, looking at the sunset in the distance, thinking about the prince's mentality.
What could King Guangling do if he fled into Luoluo?
It is impossible to live in seclusion, so the only possibility is to seek asylum.
Luoluo and the Tang Dynasty have been living in peace and harmony for many years. Do they dare to risk going to war with the Tang Dynasty for the sake of King Guangling?
In the early morning of the next day, Uda arrived, bringing a woman with him.
"Master, this is the noble lady Luo Luo." Uda looked excited, and so did the lady.
The lady looked a little haggard after traveling all night. The skin on her face looked particularly rough in the morning light, with scars everywhere.
How did Ouda get into his mouth!
Yang Xuan said gently: "How much do you know about the barbarians?"
The noble lady said: "When Luoluo was founded, the barbarian population was large, and the emperor wanted to conquer them. Those barbarians hunted and fished, and suffered heavy losses when the war started. But they immediately hid in the mountains and forests, and the second
When Nian came out again, the Luoluo army was defeated..."
"The barbarians captured a lot of things and started plundering from then on."
This is a typical example of stealing the chicken but losing the rice.
"Both sides are fighting back and forth. Luoluo relies on the fortified city and from time to time gathers large armies to attack. The barbarians loot, and occasionally attack the town with large armies. Once the town is conquered..."
There was fear in the lady's eyes, "They will kill all the men and take away all the women."
"Barbarians!" Luo Bing said.
"Can you understand what they say?"
The lady shook her head, then nodded, "I used to have barbarian slaves in my family, and I know a lot of barbarian languages."
"Barbarian slave?"
"Yes. If the barbarians rob our women, we will retaliate. Every time we break into the barbarian camp, we will also snatch their women and then take them to the city to sell them."
"Where are the men?"
"Either kill them all or become slaves."
"I understand. By the way, what's your name?"
"Sonda."
"Good name."
The imperial concubine glanced at Yang Xuan, knelt down and said: "I know many things about Luo Luo, and I will do many things..."
"Peace of mind." Yang Xuan said, "I won't abandon you."
Yang Xuan pointed to the front and asked: "The nobleman fled to the front, but I conclude that he will not join the barbarians, that is to say, he will go through the barbarian territory to Luoluo. Do you know the path?"
Songda was a little frustrated, "I only know the general direction."
It's better than nothing, but the key is that this woman can be a translator.
"Uda!"
"exist!"
Yang Xuan looked at Luo Bing, "It's time for the people of Zuo Wuwei to see blood, but there is only one thing, obey the order. I left my ugly words here, anyone who dares to disobey the order will be killed."
Luo Bing's heart trembled, "Yes."
Yang Xuan pointed forward, "Your people will attack with my people and follow the orders."
"yes."
Yang Xuan nodded, and Wu Da said: "Follow me."
Four hundred riders slowly approached the small tribe.
Yang Xuan, Song Da and others followed behind.
In the morning mist, there was some smoke over the small tribe.
"I smell the smell of barbecue," Luo Bing said.
Uda slowly pulled out the long knife.
"Zuo Wuwei's troops are divided into two parts, outflanking them from the left and right."
"Why not the front?" Mo Congduan was a little unconvinced, feeling that his subordinates had been underestimated.
Uda laughed ferociously and said: "When Yeye killed people, you were still guarding the door in Chang'an! Just listen, don't go and die yourself."
Mo Congduan was so excited by these words that he wanted to refute, but Luo Bing said softly: "Look at the back."
Mo Congduan turned around and saw the smiling Yang Xuan. He couldn't help but shudder, "That's it."
"Attack!"
Uda shook the horizontal knife... This is the habit of the aliens on the grassland.
Zuo Wuwei's men and horses surrounded him from the left and right wings.
The old thief asked: "Lang Jun, the people of Zuo Wuwei cannot protect the barbarians."
"This trip will be very dangerous. If Zuowuwei's men and horses are still like this, they will become a real burden. Therefore, they must be trained." Yang Xuan said lightly: "Otherwise, I only need to take Wu Da and the others with me.
Why go to all the trouble if Chong kills you?"
Songda looked at him and asked Wang Laoer in a low voice, "What does the noble man do?"
