An official road in Yanzhou.On the hillsides on both sides of the net, a group of about 50 Tang sergeants were lying in ambush.These 100 Tang sergeants are Cheng Yanjin's personal guards.Cheng Yanjin was lying on his back behind the hillside at this time, with a dead grass in his mouth and squinting in the sun."
General, we've been waiting here for two days in a row, when will the Turks who kidnapped Captain Zhao come?"
asked Cheng Biting Jin, who was a regular officer of the pro-guard team.This person is physically strong, twenty-five or sixteen years old, and his name is Zhang Gaoxuan.Cheng Yanjin opened his eyes, tilted his head and glanced at Zhang Gaoxuan, and said, "You ask me, who will I ask" Zhang Gaoxuan saw that Cheng Yanjin was unhappy, and closed his mouth very smartly.However, as soon as Cheng Biting Jin's words box was opened, he couldn't hold it back, and he scolded and said: "Li Ji, this bastard, originally Lao Tzu wanted to monitor the movements of Shuofang City, but he didn't say that I had few troops and couldn't confront Liang Shidu's brigade, so let Lao Tzu intercept the Turks and rescue Zhao Yunze."
There are only a dozen Turks, where can there be so many people to block Lao Tzu" Zhang Gaoxuan knows the character of his master.This lord is a person who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic.Wherever there is a fight, he wants to make up for it.Intercepting a dozen Turks is naturally not as enjoyable as fighting with the regular army of Liang Shidu.Seeing that Cheng Yanjin seemed to have the signs of venting his resentment against Li Ji on himself, Zhang Gaoxuan hurriedly made an excuse and said: "General, I'll go to the other side to see if Cao Jie's kid is lazy." ”After speaking, Zhang Gaoxuan went down the dirt slope and ran to the opposite side of the mountain road.Cheng Biting Jin had no one to vent to, and he was dumbfounded."
Phew, this grass doesn't taste at all" Cheng bit Jin and spit out the withered grass in his mouth, got up and stepped on it a few times, as if the withered grass was Li Ji.On the other side of the mountain road, Zhang Gaoxuan was chatting with Cao Jie, another team leader."
Brother Cao, our errand is not cost-effective, just a dozen Turks, where is enough for so many of us to kill If the Turks come, you old Cao Ke don't want to steal credit from me."
Cao Jie is a few years older than Zhang Gaoxuan, and he is also a little older.Hearing Zhang Gaoxuan's words, Cao Jie was not annoyed, but said: "Although this is an official road, there is more than one road to Shuofang in the south.It is not certain whether the Turks will go from here.If they had chosen a different path, the credit would have fallen to General Lee's men. ”It turned out that the officers and soldiers who intercepted the Turks were not the only ones who bit Jin."
The Turks should not give up the official road and take the trail," Zhang Gaoxuan was also suspicious.At this moment, Cao Jie pointed to the official road under the hillside and said, "Brother Zhang, look, is that person our scout" Zhang Gaoxuan hurriedly looked at the position of Cao Jie's finger.I saw a man on horseback dressed in ordinary people's clothes, walking from far and near on the official road.The man stopped his horse at the ambush location, got off the horse, and climbed towards the hillside where Cheng Yanjin was."
That's right, it's our scout," Zhang Gaoxuan said.After speaking, he pulled Cao Jie's arm again and said, "Let's go, go over and take a look, maybe you have found traces of the Turks." ”Cao Jie and Zhang Gaoxuan came to Cheng Yanjin's side again.At this time, the scout had already finished reporting to Cheng Yanjin.When Cheng Yanjin saw Cao Jie and Zhang Gaoxuan coming, he said: "I found a caravan fifteen miles south, and there were many guards in that caravan, more than fifty people, and all of them looked very strong.The scouts said they were a lot like men in the army.Cao Jie, you first take a fire soldier down to the official road to set up a card and explore their path.Zhang Gaoxuan, you kid is on guard and ready to support Cao Jie at any time. ”"Nuo" Cao Jie and Zhang Gaoxuan received the order, and immediately went their separate ways.Cao Jie led ten soldiers down to the official road and lined up to block the road.After a while, two men on horseback appeared on the south road.When the two men saw that there were officers and soldiers setting up a card, they quickly turned their horses' heads and returned south."
Hehe, there is a problem with these two people" On the hillside, Cheng Yanjin also saw the two people on horseback.Zhang Gaoxuan was standing beside Cheng Yanjin at this time, and he hurriedly said: "Eighty percent are Turkic scouts. ”"It's not eighty percent, it's ten percent," Cheng bit Jin Dao, "If it's a good person, how can you be so scared when you see the officers and soldiers?"
"So the caravan that the scouts found was pretended to be Turkic, isn't there only a dozen Turks, how could it become more than fifty people all of a sudden" Zhang Gaoxuan wondered."
It was more than a dozen people who kidnapped Zhao Yunze and Qin Mo'er in Chang'an City, that's right.However, it's not good that people have people to answer, kid, the more people we have, the more fun it will be to kill, isn't it" As soon as Zhang Gaoxuan heard Cheng Biting Jin's words, he turned his head and leaned towards his subordinates."
What do you kid want to do," Cheng Yanjin asked Zhang Gaoxuan.Zhang Gaoxuan turned around and said: "I have to let the soldiers prepare to fight, otherwise, the credit will be snatched away by Cao Jie." ”After speaking, he lowered his body and whispered to the Tang soldiers who were ambushed on the hillside."
Hehe, this kid is like me" Cheng Yanjin stared at Cao Jie's back and muttered to himself.The two knights who appeared to the south were indeed scouts of the enemy, but they were not sent by the Turks, but by Niu Dali's men.The two scouts found that there were Tang officials and soldiers blocking the road, so they immediately returned and reported the situation to Niu Dali."
You two can see clearly, there are really only a dozen officers and soldiers in that team," Niu Dali asked."
Eleven, I can see it clearly," replied one of the scouts.Wang Hui came up at this time and said: "There is no town ahead, the Tang army set up a card on the deserted road, this is very unusual" Abu Hua said: "No matter if he is ordinary or unusual, there are only eleven of them, if there is an accident, let's kill them directly." ”Wang Hui glanced at Abuhua and said, "Who knows if they have any other ambushes" Abuhua shut up.Niu Dali thought for a while and said, "Anyway, we have hostages, and Tang Jun is not afraid of us." ”After speaking, he called out to a few subordinates and whispered a few words.The men returned to the group and whispered to the other soldiers.Niu Dali's arrangement, the number of guards around the carriage in which Zhao Yunze and the four of them were riding suddenly increased by more than a dozen.The rest of the guards around the wagon loaded with goods also cheered up and tightened their grip on their weapons.Wang Hui saw that Niu Dali was ready for contingencies, and secretly praised in his heart.The caravan moved on.Zhao Yunze in the carriage also noticed that the caravan's escort deployment had changed.He immediately whispered to Qin Mo'er, Sun Simiao, and Hu Ling'er: "The enemy has moved, maybe there is an army of the imperial court ahead." ”When Qin Mo'er heard this, she hurriedly took out the dagger hidden in her coat, holding the dagger and hiding it in her sleeve.Sun Simiao looked at Zhao Yunze and said, "Zhao boy, if you have the opportunity, you will take Ling'er to get out." ”Zhao Yunze smiled and said, "The four of us and those people have become hostages.It's uncertain whether the officials and soldiers of the imperial court can do anything, but let's talk about it depending on the situation. ”:
