Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 701 Something's Wrong
Back in time, it was probably five or six hours before Camellia asked Fengrui about the care of the wounded.

At that time, Hu Biao and others had just lit up some wind lamps; they planned to take advantage of the weak lights of these things to go up and down for a while after nightfall and before the temperature dropped too much.
After all, walking an extra [-] or [-] miles every day, combined after a long time, can be related to the success or failure of the first link of the task.

And the position behind them is only twenty or thirty miles away.

In that Yanqi city, Shang Qixin'er, the current commander of the Tubo people and the commander of the Western Regions, overturned a table selling wine and meat in front of him in a fit of rage.

Under his anger, the hot orchid dancer was still dancing happily a second ago.

The next moment, he fell to his knees in horror, trembling like a quail before the storm.

Some elite Tubo fighters were also watching their noses and noses, and they didn't dare to make a sound at all, for fear of suffering a long-term calamity because of a trivial matter.

The root cause of all this was that three Tubo messengers, who were teetering on their horses and seemed to be about to die in the next second, appeared under the city of Yanqi with a snowstorm at most a quarter of an hour ago.

There were still ten people when they set off, but after a frenzied rush, even many people who fell behind were ignored messengers, and then brought a huge bad news to this future Tibetan Prime Minister:
The Anxi Army of the Great Tang Dynasty did not do what Shang Qixin'er preached, and there were still some remnants.

Even seven or eight days ago, after these remnants attacked the city of Kucha at night, they almost killed one of the defenders stationed in Xiao Donglu, and took back the city of Kucha.

And three days ago, the remnants of the Anxi Army headed by Hu Biao had already left the city.

It is said that they are going to return to Chang'an City with the ashes of Guo Xin and others; that's right!Along the way, they also held high the battle flag of the Anxi Army, without even the slightest cover or camouflage, and they looked a little unscrupulous.

For such a point, Shang Qixin'er absolutely cannot accept it.

Not to mention that the Anxi army of the Tang Dynasty has been nailed behind them like a sharp steel knife for so many years, and their plan to go down to the plateau and attack Tang land has been greatly affected.

After years of fighting, I don't know how many Tibetans they killed.

There are two things that really make Shang Qi heartfelt.

First, because of the complete annihilation of the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty and the contribution of the vast land of the Western Regions to Tubo; it is said that he will soon be promoted to Tubo Prime Minister and the title of Minister.

This is entirely the most critical step for him to go to Zanpu, the position of a Tibetan who is under one person and above ten thousand people.

But if this news is passed back to the royal court of the Tubo people, it will definitely be affected considerably.

Second, it was also after they wiped out the Anxi army and took down the city of Kucha; among the countries in the Western Regions, some small countries that were not false to them were the real envoys to express their submission.

But Shang Qixin is very clear that these small countries are not really surrendering to them.

Once it is known that the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty still has a powerful remnant, the minds of these small countries will immediately become dangerous.

Regarding this point, Shang Qixin'er absolutely cannot accept it,

For this reason, Shang Qixin'er, who has always been calm and restrained, had such a huge reaction.

Of course, this person is worthy of leaving a great name in later generations, and he is also a figure who can be regarded as an outstanding figure among the Tubo people. Soon after, he adjusted his mood.

After waving his hands, those terrified orchid dancers and musicians stepped back one by one.

Facing a confidant standing beside him with his hands tied, he gave repeated orders:
"Tseringwang, after dawn tomorrow, immediately pass on my order to the entire Western Regions, as well as the Tubo generals in Ganliang and other prefectures, let them return to some important routes in Chang'an in the Western Regions, so that they can pay attention to those Anxi The whereabouts of the remnants of the army.

Once it is discovered, it will be strangled immediately with all its strength.

And let all other barbarians, even those horse thieves know; no matter who it is, as long as the heads of these Anxi army remnants are sent to my feet.

Then he is the lord of Qiuci City, and there are also a large number of gold, cattle and sheep, and beautiful women.

In short, I can give him everything he wants. "

After hearing the content of the last rewards, the Tubo confidant named Tsering Wang even felt sorry for the remnants of the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty.

Because in his opinion, if these people escaped with their lives by chance that day.

From then on, he kept his name incognito, whether he was a herdsman or a horse thief, he could always save a life and live for a few more years.

But now, he unexpectedly appeared on his own initiative without knowing his life and death, and even thought about returning to Chang'an with great fanfare. Then, under this kind of reward that made his heart beat, people in the entire Western Regions would go crazy.

It is doomed that they have no chance to return to Chang'an.

Talk!That broken city in Chang'an, what is there to do now...

******
Three days later, it was December [-]th in the third year of Yuanhe in the Tang Dynasty.

It is only seventy or eighty miles away from Gaochang City, which is the Turpan area of ​​the modern plane.

"Old Hu, something is wrong?"

After dismounting from the back of his system horse 'Luoba', Yu Hanfeng was busy feeding his precious horse a lot of black beans as a reward.

While facing Hu Biao, he spoke solemnly.

Hearing this sentence, Hu Biao, who was still joking with the concubine next to him, immediately became nervous, and asked in a hurry: "You don't accept the group at night, what did you find?"

After hearing the words, Yu Hanfeng explained:
"Gechang Gong and I went as far as ten miles away from the convoy to investigate, but we still didn't find any clues that something was wrong. Everything was very quiet and normal.

But I don't know why, I always have an indescribable intuition in my heart, it feels like something bad is going to happen soon. "

After hearing the first sentence, Hu Biao looked up at the snowflakes still falling above his head, and the sky would be completely dark in an hour at most.

The relaxed mood in my heart suddenly disappeared, and I knew that the expected pursuers had finally appeared.

Even now, there is still no trace of these people.

The key is that he firmly believes that the old birds in the team have gradually cultivated an intuition for danger through death after death, although there is no reason at all.

But either it doesn't appear, and when it does, it's terribly accurate.

If Yu Hanfeng was the only one who developed such a dangerous intuition, he could still be lucky to some extent.

Well, now that the group is not accepted tonight, most of them have such an intuition, so there is no need to doubt it at all.

Therefore, after a little hesitation, Hu Biao issued a series of orders: "AT, Fengrui, and Zhan Xiang, you three are riding system horses, and you are also scattered within a mile or two around the convoy to guard.

By the way, let's see if there is any suitable place to camp. We will stop after nightfall today and will not continue to drive at night. "

After hearing such a sentence, the three people who were originally acting as handlebars handed over the whips in their hands to others, and they themselves galloped out of the convoy on the horses produced by the system.

In the next hour, even if several people from AT investigated, nothing amiss was found.

But even so, when the sky darkened, the convoy stopped early in a mountain valley outside the leeward forest.

In the following time, the process of setting up camp and preparing food is no different from that of the past.

But secretly, tonight's secret whistle changed from one to three, and when the others fell asleep, they were all wearing heavy armor, and their weapons were placed in the most convenient positions at hand.

Everything is waiting for those pursuers to appear in the middle of the night...
