His feet trembled and trembled, as if he were standing on a big drum that was beating non-stop. There were cavalry everywhere as far as the eye could see, almost as if they were completely connected to the sky.
I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of riders?
Li Chengxue felt that all the hairs on his body stood up, his lips couldn't help trembling, and there was only one thought in his mind: escape!
What should I do if I don’t run away?
There was only a small hill with nowhere to hide or hide. Moreover, he had just killed a horse and it was already a mess all over the place. Hu Bing couldn't see it because he was blind.
How can you care about the horse meat at your feet and the salt bags on the horse's hide?
Li Chengxue somersaulted down the slope and ran towards the horse in a rolling and crawling manner. He didn't have time to untie the reins. He hurriedly cut it off with his sword and jumped onto the horse's back.
The war horse seemed to be frightened, and without waiting for Li Chengxue to whip his whip, he took off his four hooves and ran towards the west.
In just ten breaths, the former army scouts crossed the mountain ridge.
Thousands of miles of wilderness, endless as far as the eye can see, at least several miles away. And Li Chengxue only ran for more than a mile.
Seeing the figure running towards the west, the chief scout was filled with joy.
Zhuangshuai once said: Fengshuai has an order that if anyone can find Sanlang, he will be rewarded with a hundred gold.
One gold is exchanged for one piece of silk, one piece of sheep is folded, and there are one hundred sheep. When distributed to the third person, there are also ten...
The horse's speed did not slow down even after a long time. He first shouted a few words to ask his subordinates to speed up the horse, then raised the bronze whistle on his chest and blew it hard.
Li Chengxue was shocked when he heard the melodious and high-pitched whistle.
When did Hu also learn to use a whistle to convey orders?
Is it Li Song, the eldest brother, or which retainer?
But how could it be that there were six or seven thousand soldiers in total in Xihai, all of them wearing leather robes and felt boots, appearing in Woye Town?
Li Chengxue was dubious.
If he were dressed as a Han man, he would definitely rein in the war horse. But looking around, the mountains and fields are full of barbarian soldiers, how can he dare to stop?
The war horse was still running wildly, while Li Chengxue tilted his neck and couldn't help but look back. His ears stood up.
He was frightened and panicked just now. He only knew that there was a sharp whistle behind him, but he didn't have time to listen carefully. And if these thousands of horsemen were really members of the Li family and received the summons from the scouts, the rear army would definitely respond.
Just by listening to the whistle, Li Chengxue can distinguish the true from the false.
as expected.
Only two or three breaths passed before the whistle sounded from the rear army.
The whistle sounded several times, some were long and complex, and seemed to contain several commands. Li Chengxue had no time to identify them carefully.
Just because as soon as he heard it, it was like a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening, which shocked him.
Chase!
It was a pure instinctive reaction. He reined in suddenly, and the horse stood up in pain, almost knocking him off the horse.
When the horse's hoof hit the ground, tears flashed in Li Chengxue's eyes.
It's really a Li family story.
Seeing him standing still, as if he was not running away, Shi Chang immediately beamed.
Is it really Saburo?
If you don't understand the whistle order, no matter who it is, you will just run away in panic.
Shi Chang laughed and shouted loudly: "Shout with me: Saburo!"
"Sanlang... Sanlang..."
The roar of the ten cavalrymen was quite impressive, and the cavalry formation behind them was naturally heard very clearly.
Commander Zhuang didn't know what was going on, so he thought it was Li Chengxue who kept running wildly and couldn't catch up with him. He was so anxious that he discovered his identity. So he immediately ordered the whole team to roar in unison.
Just like this, one word spreads to ten, ten spreads to a hundred, and a hundred spreads to a thousand, just counting the breaths, and the surrounding fields are like thunder, all with the sound of "Sanlang".
Li Chengxue was so excited that tears filled his eyes and he immediately jumped off the horse.
The distance was only one mile, and the scouts from the front team were about to arrive in an instant. There were still more than ten steps left, so Jin stopped his horse, turned over and got off the saddle, and then handed a copper order forward: "But Saburo?"
The token is bright and bright, about the size of a chicken. There is a triangular flag on it, which is very clear.
This is the flag order of Tangqi. How could Li Chengxue not recognize it?
He just nodded and was speechless.
The commander was immediately overjoyed and shouted to his subordinates: "Quick, give me the order to Commander Zhuang..."
The subordinate responded, but as soon as he took the copper into his mouth, he put it down again.
In this short time, the rear army had already rushed in and surrounded them from all sides.
A general stepped out of the riding formation, looked at Li Chengxue and laughed loudly: "Is it really Saburo? Come on, follow me to see Feng Shuai..."
Zhang Xingyi is Li Chengzhi's uncle, and Li Chengxue naturally recognized it. He nodded repeatedly, and asked as he mounted his horse: "This almost scares me to death... Why are they all dressed as Hu soldiers?"
"It's a long story at this point, and it won't be too late to tell it after we get back to camp..."
…
Li Feng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Chengxue jumping around with all his hair and tail.
He looked at it carefully and then gave Li Chengxue a bear hug that almost made him unable to breathe.
Then he pointed at Gao Zhao's confidant who was kneeling on the ground and asked solemnly: "This thief said that the head of the family and the Dalang Lord are safe and sound, but is he telling the truth?"
Li Chengxue sighed sadly: "When I came, my father had been imprisoned by Gao Zhao in a water prison?"
Li Feng's eyes bulged: "Why?"
"It seems that Gao Zhao wanted to force his father to submit and asked his father to write a handwritten letter urging his second brother to rebel. The father would rather die than obey..."
Li Feng was furious and gritted his teeth.
He wished he could tear that Gao family confidant into pieces, but he also knew that this person was just a little guy, and venting his anger on him would be of no use.
"Take him here, and we'll go on the road with Saburo tomorrow!"
Li Feng gave a cold shout, then turned around and asked: "If you know that Gao Zhao is going to be sent back to Xihai, why do you want to escape?"
Shouldn't he run away?
Li Chengxue blinked his eyes: "Gao Zhao is so deceitful, how do I know that he is not trying to get him this time? If he wants to trick me into leading the way, what should I do?"
"Then do you know that the West Sea is vast and uninhabited, with dark winds and wolves. If you are not careful, you will get lost. In the end, you will only starve to death, and you may even be buried in the belly of a wolf. Are you not afraid?"
"What can I do if I'm afraid? I can't destroy my Li family's foundation just for the sake of greed for a while..."
Li Chengxue returned home calm and calm, but Li Feng's heart was full of mixed emotions.
He was not blind, how could he not see that Li Chengxue had already put life and death aside.
It can be seen from this that the family head and Da Lang must be like this, otherwise, why would the confidant only have Gao Zhao's secret letter in his arms, but not the half-page handwritten letter from the family head and Da Lang?
If he had no choice but to do nothing, Gao Zhao would not sacrifice the near for the far and traveled thousands of miles to send Sanlang back.
It seems that Gao Zhao came up with this strategy because he had no way to deal with the family head.
After a while of silence, Li Feng patted Li Chengxue on the shoulder again: "I have ordered people to boil the hot soup and prepare the food and wine. Wash yourself well and rest for the night. I will send you to Zhenyi to meet your husband tomorrow!"
Hearing that Li Chengzhi had also arrived in Hexi, Li Chengxue bared his white teeth and said, "Father was right, the second brother Jiren has his own destiny!"
Li Feng nodded and smiled: "This is natural!"
After personally sending Li Chengxue out of the commander's tent, Li Feng sighed leisurely.
When he was sent to Jingzhou, the head of the family had always disliked the concubines and often beat and scolded them. Therefore, Dalang and Sanlang had been cowardly and indecisive since they were young, and they were mediocre.
But after just a few years, he actually became somewhat strong and strong?
All because Langjun Zhuyu was in front, forcing Dalangsanlang and the head of the family to work hard.
And I thought that I would just be a guardian of the Li Mansion for the rest of my life. When did I ever think that I could command thousands of troops and give orders like a mountain?
Never would I have thought that I, who had always been obsessed with reading since childhood and would rather get beaten than study, would be able to speak well now?
They were all forced out by Lang Jun...
Li Feng couldn't help but sigh. Just as he was about to return his account, he heard someone calling him again.
Looking back, I saw brothers Zhang Xinyi and Zhang Xingyi coming hand in hand, followed by a soldier.
When he saw the attire, Li Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.
Wearing jute shirts and soft leather armor, these are clearly officers and soldiers, and they are also from the Chinese army.
But upon closer inspection, he saw that his hands and feet were not tied, and his expression was very relaxed. There was no trace of fear or panic. Instead, he looked very strange and looked around randomly.
Where did this guy come from?
While he was doubting, Zhang Xinyi came to Li Feng's ear and said, "This is my younger brother, who came here under the order of my second uncle..."
Isn’t Zhang Xinyi’s second uncle Zhang Jingzhi, Lang Jun’s maternal uncle?
Li Feng frowned slightly: "Guanzhong?"
"It's not Guanzhong, but the Hequ Division two hundred miles south..."
Zhang Xinyi replied in a low voice, "The second uncle's letter stated that he was given the order to defeat the rebel marshal Xi Kangsheng. He wanted to go north to Daqi to investigate the military situation. Suddenly he encountered refugees fleeing to the west. He learned that there was an army of Rouran in the north of Nantang Mountain. He guessed that
It was us, so we sent my clan brothers to warn me, and sent several letters to Mr. Lang on my behalf..."
When Li Feng heard this, he didn't know what to say.
Just after catching a group of Gao Zhao's messengers, another wave of Xi Kangsheng's scouts came, led by Zhang Jingzhi?
No matter how stupid he is, he still knows that Xi Kangsheng has no good intentions.
"Let's talk after you come in!"
Li Feng opened the curtain and invited the three people in. After asking a few questions, he learned that in addition to Zhang Jingzhi, there was also Xi Kangsheng's subordinate Zi Daxi. He felt that the situation was even more complicated.
Why go to Daqi to investigate the military situation? This is obviously aimed at Lang Jun.
He pondered for a moment and then made a decision immediately: "Since Zhang Sima has a letter for Langjun, there is no need to delay. Let Xingyi lead a brigade of Qingqi to find a house and send my brother to the west. Together with Sanlang, we will set off immediately... Xinyi, wait for me
I wrote a letter in my hand, and you sent Tangqi to go ahead and tell you all the details of the military situation here..."
The two brothers respectfully agreed and performed their duties.
Li Chengxue was a little confused.
After a few hasty washes and about to change his clothes, Li Feng came to call him and said he would set off immediately.
What about the good wine and meat you promised?
Li Feng carried him onto the horse without any explanation and gave him a bag of food.
The meat is still hot, and you can still vaguely smell the aroma of fruit wine.
Fortunately, it is much better than eating raw horse meat...
…
The city of Bigan was nearly two thousand miles away from Zhenyi. Even with Tang's horse riding fast and whipping, they did not arrive at Zhenyi until the sixth day.
After reading Li Feng's report and receiving the letters personally from Gao Zhao and Zhang Jingzhi, Li Chengzhi subconsciously scratched his forehead.
That’s all Gao Zhao.
It has been nearly half a year since Gao Yun joined the first brigade of Gao's clan. No one is seen alive or dead, and no body is found. No matter how stupid Gao Yun is, he knows that he must have been plotted against him. Naturally, he is 100% sure that he must be alive and kicking.
But one moment and another moment, Gao Zhao thought that under the rolling wheel of the general trend, personal hatred was no longer worth mentioning. He had ten thousand reasons to join him in starting a rebellion, first to resist the imperial court, and then to seek the world.
Furthermore, it was because of his own intervention that the situation in Beizhen was completely out of Gao Zhao's control. He was even more afraid that he would add fuel to the fire behind his back and secretly help Luo Jian to pacify the Six Towns, making him suffer from enemies from both sides. And his father would rather
Gao Zhao refused to obey, so in a moment of urgency, Gao Zhao had no choice but to take this step.
It’s not surprising that he has this idea, but why is Xi Kangsheng coming to join in the fun?
What evidence did he have to believe that he was alive, and why he pretended to send Zhang Jingzhi to Daqi to investigate the military situation, and even named him Daxi as his deputy?
What an old fox, this is clearly a plan to kill two birds with one stone.
One is to test whether he is really dead or fake. If he is really dead, there will be no need to talk about it. Just because he imitated Gao Zhao's hand to death for the sake of the court, the two have naturally sworn to be incompatible. Regardless of whether there are Xihai survivors living in seclusion in Daqi, Xihai
Whether the surviving family members were members of the Li clan or not, he could no longer use them, and Xi Kangsheng could only sigh with regret.
If you were alive, you would naturally comply with his wishes. In all likelihood, you would persuade yourself to fight against Gao Zhao with him.
Therefore, if Da Xi did not have Xi Kangsheng's personal and secret letter written to him, Li Chengzhi would have dared to eat the pile on the table alive.
After feeling distressed for a while, Li Chengzhi picked up a few more letters and read them again, and couldn't help but laugh.
Gao Zhao is really a master at painting cakes.
Gao Zhao stated in the letter that if the imperial court was defeated, the Central Plains was occupied, and Luoyang was conquered, the two of them would move across the river to rule: everything west of the Yellow River, including Guanzhong, would belong to Li Chengzhi, and he would only take Hedong, six towns, and the land of Yan and Jin
.If Li Chengzhi is not satisfied, give him Luoyang and Henan as well.
What a loud tone?
Li Chengzhi doubted whether he could annex Xiazhou to Yan, and it was still unknown whether Jinzhou could be defended for three years.
