Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 223 Departing Overnight

"The lord of the Khotan Kingdom is called Guangde. Not long ago, relying on the support of the Northern Huns, he just sent troops to break through the Shache Kingdom, and he is regarded as the lord among the small countries in the southern Tianshan Road.

It really has a bit of a coquettish taste, and now it is very loud.

It is estimated that it is quite difficult for him to seek refuge with the big man.

The main reason is that the Northern Huns sent an envoy who has been stationed here for a long time; to the outside world, it is said that they are guarding the country of Khotan, but in fact it means that the envoys of the Northern Huns have secretly grasped a lot of power.

In addition, the witchcraft in Khotan is prevalent, and those witches do not have any specific sects, and it feels like dancing to a great god.

The shaman of Khotan Kingdom is actually an old woman who is highly valued by the lord Guangde and the whole country. Before deciding on many important matters, the shaman is often asked to ask the meaning of the gods.

However, according to my private inquiries, the old woman has actually taken refuge in the envoy of the Northern Huns. "

Five minutes later, Yu Hanfeng seemed to be back to normal except for the unwiped blood in his nasal cavity and a pair of eye sockets the color of a giant panda.

From the hem, he cut two small pieces of cloth with a knife and blocked his nostrils.

Yu Hanfeng first shared some news that he had inquired in the West City recently; after that, he began to answer the questions that Hu Biao and others were concerned about:

"We set up a training camp at a place called Hongbai Mountain in the capital city of Khotan, about one or two hundred miles west of the west city.

I won't talk about the specific process. Anyway, although it is a bit troublesome, it is fortunate that it is not disgraceful.

Let's talk about the specific results achieved.

At present, under our command, there are 118 elite combatants who can be fully trusted. They are equipped with equipment produced by Langqing and warehouse management.

The equipment is basically made of steel-making materials, which is at least an era stronger than the natives of the Huns, so the combat effectiveness is quite good.

In addition, there are 332 war slaves under his command. The equipment is not as good as the elite, but it is also better than the Huns.

Therefore, the comprehensive combat effectiveness of these war slaves is stronger than that of ordinary Huns, and should be similar to that of Huns.

In the end, there were still 500 to 800 cannon fodder available.

The reason why the data of this cannon fodder is so different is that they are all members of small tribes in the surrounding areas. They will join us in a vote from time to time, so the specific number of people is hard to determine. "

After hearing the above data, Hu Biao and others were too shocked to speak for a long time.

The main reason was that Yang Dongli and the others would have made such a big commotion; but what followed was great joy.

joke!All of this adds up to nearly [-] to [-] people.

In the Central Plains, such a small force is naturally nothing.

Coupled with the strengthening of steel-making equipment, the actual combat effectiveness of these people is in the Western Regions, which is stronger than that of many small countries, and they can destroy a country in one battle.

With such a strength, what tasks can't be completed?
But what they don't know is that there are now thousands of Hun cavalry, and they are also secretly marching towards the Khotan Kingdom; after they plan to find the envoys stationed in the Khotan Kingdom, they will dispatch a large army to destroy the Shanshan Kingdom, Ban Chao and others.

Of course, these people didn't know the existence of Yang Dongli and others.

Such a point is quite fair; it's just that after the two parties discover each other's existence, the mood at that time will definitely be very exciting...

*******
By the time Ban Chao, who was attending the banquet, returned from the palace of the Lord of Shanshan, it was already early four o'clock in the afternoon.

Seeing this, Hu Biao hurriedly brought Yu Hanfeng to meet him, and talked about some things that happened to Yang Dongli and others in the past three or four months.

Specifically, it means that they were lucky enough to get a batch of top-quality gems and treasures.

Then, using such a batch of precious stones, they bought some slaves and supplies in Khotan, and settled down in Hongbai Mountain.

Up to now, there have been hundreds of elite Hu men who are worthy of trust; and these men are well-armored and have excellent combat effectiveness.

In the conflict with horse bandits and sand bandits, some slaves were also captured and used as war slaves.

In short, in order not to frighten Ban Chao, under such a very misleading statement, it will give Ban Chao an illusion, as if they have two or three hundred people behind them.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, they are not deceiving Ban Chao by saying this. Those cannon fodder are people who follow the battle with their own dry food, and they do not belong to their staff at all.

As for the latter, the number of people who appeared was obviously different from Ban Chao's expectation, and he was just looking for an excuse to explain it.

In addition, Yu Hanfeng will also inquire about the situation in Khotan.

Some Huns envoys were stationed in the capital city, and the lord Guangde, with the support of the Huns behind him, had just conquered the Shache Kingdom and other places, and he was unrivaled in the Tianshan South Road area, etc.

After carefully listening to Yu Hanfeng's narration, Ban Chao began to think about it.

After spending about a cup of tea, Ban Chao seemed to have made up his mind, and explained to Hu Biao and Yu Hanfeng:

"It doesn't matter! The situation in Khotan is a bit more difficult, but it's not that there is no way out.

I will stay in Shanshan for a day or two, and after I have settled some matters, I will go to Khotan together.

Yang Shichang and others and a group of soldiers under his command don't need to act together with us, just find a hidden place outside the city to ambush for the time being.

If the Khotan Kingdom and his party go well, that's fine, otherwise we will see the beacon fire that you and I agreed on.

He rushed over and killed the Huns envoy together, to see how these barbarians at both ends of the mouse still turned to the Huns. "

When he said this, Ban Chao's words could be heard to be full of pride.

Obviously, the existence of Lao Yang and others filled him with confidence.

Naturally, Hu Biao and Yu Hanfeng had no problem with the arrangement that Ban Chao was talking about, and immediately agreed to it.

Even after Yu Hanfeng thought of something, he said:
"Since Ban Sima has made such an arrangement, his subordinates should leave first, so that they can rush to Hongbai Mountain to inform Yang Shichang and other brothers before the city gate is closed.

Let them save some time and set off immediately so as not to miss Ban Sima's important event. "

Hearing this statement, Ban Chao started to propose out of concern:

"I'm afraid it's the time of the unitary now, it's going to be dark, and the Western Regions are in great chaos, so there must be a lot of wild animals and bandits in the wild at night.

Yu Shichang might as well rest in the city for one night and set off early tomorrow morning. "

Unexpectedly, after hearing such a word of concern, Yu Hanfeng said lightly: "Ban Sima doesn't have to worry, the subordinates are naturally confident enough, so don't worry about the safety along the way."

Should I say it or not, the pretentiousness in this bastard's mouth at that time almost made Hu Biao laugh out loud...

In the following time, Yu Hanfeng slipped out of the wall again quietly, and pulled out two war horses from the inn where he lived.

Just taking advantage of the last moment when the city gates were closed before dawn and darkness, they patted their horses out of the city.

After dark, taking advantage of the rare bright moonlight in the sky tonight, I started to rush all night.

It took more than 1000 miles to go to Hongbai Mountain, and it would take several days to get there with two horses constantly changing rides; but Yang Dongli and others did not say that they could set off immediately.

It always takes a day or two to prepare well in advance.

　PS: Thank you again, A Li, for your reward.
