Tibet

Chapter 143 An Le County
The fifth watch is at four o'clock in the morning, and all the soldiers get up to wash, pack their belongings, and eat breakfast. The time is very tight. The end of the fifth watch is the departure time, and they must be assembled in advance. After being busy for more than half an hour, the drums of assembly sounded.

Fifty-five thousand troops came from all directions to assemble, and after a while, the entire army was assembled.

Guangping Wang Li Chu gave an order, and the army set off in a mighty manner, along with [-] civilians and [-] carts, transporting various armor and food and grass supplies.

Li Chu bid farewell to Li Linfu, Li Linfu said with a smile: "My grandson Li Ye is also in the army, I hope His Highness will take care of him."

Li Chu was surprised and said, "Is Brother Feisha also in the army? Why didn't I know?"

"He is a scout, he has already taken a step ahead, he should be in Shuofang territory now, I know that he killed a team of 20 Tongluo scouts, and made his first contribution!"

Before Li Chu set off, he got his father's instructions, and he must use this opportunity to build a good relationship with Li Linfu.

Li Chu nodded, "Please rest assured, Xiangguo, if Sun Li makes meritorious deeds, Xiao Wang will definitely reward him for his merits!"

Seeing that there was no one around, Li Linfu laughed and said, "The old man read Li Bai's new poem "Xia Ke Xing" last night. There are a few lines in it that are wonderfully written! It fits the current situation of dispatching troops. Are you interested in listening to it, Your Highness?"

"Please speak, Xiangguo, Xiao Wang is all ears!"

Li Linfu chuckled, "These poems are 'Kill a man in ten steps, never leave him for a thousand miles. Flick off your clothes and hide your name deeply' is very suitable for our crusade against the traitor Abusi. I hope that when His Highness returns triumphantly, Read more of this poem!"

Li Chu was very smart, and immediately understood Li Linfu's implication, and quickly bowed and said, "Thank you Xiangguo for the poem, Xiao Wang will definitely remember it in his heart."

What does Li Linfu mean?He was borrowing Li Bai's poem to remind Li Chu implicitly that the emperor asked you to lead troops to test your father. If you dare to lead troops back to Chang'an triumphantly, the emperor will suspect that your father has usurped the throne, so you should hand over the military power as soon as you win. Only by returning to Beijing in a low-key manner can you keep your father's crown prince.

Of course, it is impossible for Li Linfu to say clearly that it is a taboo to speak lightly and deeply. It is too straightforward. If the grandson of the emperor interprets his own words to the emperor, he will not be able to bear it, so Li Linfu used Li Bai's poem To remind Li Chu.

Of course, Li Linfu would not have any direct contact with Li Heng, but he could let his grandson Li Ye and the emperor's eldest grandson Li Chu have an intersection, and that was enough.

Speaking of it, Gao Lishi had the brains to use the Tianpeng polo team to connect his grandson with the eldest grandson of the emperor.

Seventy miles north from Anle River is Anle County. Anle County is a small county, but its geographical location is very important. On the one hand, there is only this county seat in a radius of hundreds of miles. Northbound Interchange of Wonju Road.

Whether you go to Lingwu County on Gyeongju Road or Wonju Road to Lingwu County, you have to go through Anle County.

Li Ye brought five of his men into Anle County. Li Ye was in a really bad mood. He underestimated the forbearance and determination of the Tongluo sentinel, and overestimated his own arrow skills.

Sentinel Tongluo was shot in the cheek by his own arrow. The arrow passed through the left and right cheeks, but did not hurt the vitals of the head. He fell from the tree and passed out.

After waking up, the sentinel did not show any trace, took a horse and hid in the depths of the forest. At a critical moment, he rushed out on the horse, allowing the centurion to escape on horseback, and seriously injured a soldier.

He didn't ask about the confession, but almost lost his subordinate's life. How could Li Ye feel better?

The injured soldier was Duan Xiaoliu, only 17 years old, the son of a businessman, who was knocked over by a war horse and suffered multiple fractures, especially his left leg. Even if he could be saved, he would probably be disabled.

This lesson is too profound, and they must not be left alive in the future. These foreign soldiers must all be executed.

Li Ye found a medical clinic and asked the doctor to treat Duan Xiaoliu with bone grafting.

He and other soldiers found an inn to stay.

In fact, Li Ye's mission has been completed, and he is now waiting for Yu Chiguang to come to meet him, maybe Yu Chiguang will bring him a new mission.

At dusk, Li Ye was wandering alone in the county town. The county town was very small, and it belonged to the kind of small town that you could walk around with just one cigarette, but there were quite a lot of people, especially many merchants. Thousands of merchants gathered in the small county.

It's still far from Lingwu County, and the merchants still don't feel the danger. In fact, for the Tongluo cavalry, it's only a day or two away to reach Anle County.

But the merchants were less worried about their own safety than how much the rebellion would affect their business.

Li Ye sat down in a small tavern, ordered a pot of wine and a few dishes, and drank sullenly.

In fact, it is now during the war, and according to the military regulations, drinking is not allowed, but Li Ye has not been in the army for a short time, so he has not paid attention to these military regulations for the time being.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes outside, and a group of cavalry from the Tang army came rushing forward, and someone shouted: "Get out of the way!"

The voice was so familiar, Li Ye rushed out, he recognized the other party at a glance, and shouted: "Yuchi, I'm here!"

The leading cavalryman was Yu Chiguang. He turned around and saw Li Ye. He quickly reined in his horse, dismounted and ran forward, saying, "Team leader, I'm looking for you everywhere. It's an emergency."

"What happened?"

"We found that the same Luo Jun spies are gathering, and they are likely to come to Anle County."

Li Ye looked at the dozen or so cavalry behind him, only three of them were his subordinates, and he didn't know the other ten, so he asked, "Where are they soldiers from?"

"It's the brothers of the Seventh Scout Team. I met them outside the city. Their team was being shot and killed by Tong Chen's spies, so I brought them here."

An older Huochang came up, knelt down on one knee and said to Li Ye: "We are resting by the river, the weather is too hot, Team Zhang is going down to take a bath, unexpectedly, a spy from the same Luo army sprang out from the opposite bank, and shot the team with an arrow. Right shot in the water."

"Is there any characteristic on the face of the same Luo Jun spy?" Li Ye asked.

"Reporting to the captain, half of his face is black."

Li Ye sighed in his heart, it was the centurion of the same Luo army who had escaped.

At this moment, horns sounded suddenly from the north city gate, the streets were in chaos, and someone shouted: "The rebels have entered the city!"

Li Ye was taken aback, took an empty horse, turned on the horse, snatched the spear from a soldier, turned the horse's head and ran towards the city gate.

Yu Chiguang shouted, "Let's follow!"

The soldiers also turned their horses around one after another, followed Li Ye and rushed towards the city gate.

There was chaos at the north city gate, a dozen Tongluo cavalry broke into the city, trying to occupy the city gate, and several soldiers guarding the city gate desperately resisted.

They entered the city pretending to be the Tang army, and killed him as soon as they entered the city, exposing his true identity.

There were more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground, all of them were ordinary farmers selling vegetables by the city gate.

Seeing that several soldiers defending the city couldn't reach the corridor and were about to be pierced by the enemy's spears, Li Ye threw all his strength on the horse, and the spears in his hand flew out thirty steps away, immediately throwing the spears on the corridor. The first two Tongluo cavalry pierced their bodies.

Two corpses turned over and fell off their horses, and three soldiers defending the city narrowly escaped death. They were still in shock, but their risk did not decrease.
