Tibet

Chapter 155 Meeting the main force on the road
At dawn the next day, Li Ye felt that something was wrong. The other side of the valley was surprisingly quiet. There was no movement for three hours. Li Ye immediately asked the guide to lead two soldiers up the cliff, went around to the outside of the canyon to check the situation, and talked with them. The soldiers agreed that if the enemy had withdrawn, they could wave the red flag.

Time passed, the sky was bright, and everyone was sitting at the mouth of the valley to rest. The fire in the valley was still burning, but the oleander was no longer added.

Suddenly a soldier jumped up, pointed at the mountain and shouted, "Look, red flag!"

Everyone stood up one after another and saw a red flag waving on the mountain. They jumped up excitedly and cheered loudly. The enemy retreated. When the news spread, the whole valley boiled. Countless people were so excited that they burst into tears. Successfully, the enemy retreated.

Li Ye immediately ordered the fire to be extinguished, and the soldiers poured water to extinguish the fire, dragged out the branches of the trees that were not burned, and used a blower to blow air into the canyon to disperse the thick smoke.

An hour later, the thick smoke gradually subsided, and the soldiers released a few birds into the narrow valley. Li Ye heard the birds chirping, and finally flew away through the narrow valley.

"Cover your mouth and nose with a damp cloth, and come out with me to have a look!"

Li Ye covered his mouth and nose with a damp cloth, and with a knife in one hand, he led a dozen soldiers cautiously into the narrow valley.

There were more than 200 corpses lying in the narrow valley. Some of them were shot and killed by Li Ye before, but most of them died of poisoning.

Although there was still smoke in the narrow valley, it was not strong, rather thin, and non-toxic. Soon, Li Ye led his men out of the valley, and the fresh morning breeze rushed towards them, and everyone breathed in the fresh air.

The Tongluo cavalry had disappeared, and as far as I could see, there was no shadow of the Tongluo cavalry within a range of twenty miles. Maybe they were hiding somewhere, waiting for their prey to appear by themselves.

Yang Li asked: "Team Zheng, do you want to check the surrounding situation?"

Li Ye nodded, "Tell the five brothers to check the enemy's situation in all directions, with thirty miles as the boundary, and report back if there is no problem."

Yang Li immediately took five soldiers to check the enemy's situation in all directions.

Li Ye asked Wei county magistrate to notify tens of thousands of people to pack their luggage and arrange militia soldiers to clear the passage.

Time gradually arrived at noon, Yang Li and several other soldiers came back, and there was no enemy within thirty miles.

It seems that the enemy army has really retreated, so Li Ye ordered tens of thousands of people to come out of the valley. Without the carts, many items had to be temporarily stored in the valley. Tens of thousands of people supported the old and the young and continued to march Go to Xiaoguan.

Li Ye couldn't be happy. On the one hand, there were only nine of his men left, including the one who was injured before and the two who went to ask for help. The others were all killed.

On the other hand, the reinforcements he was looking forward to never came.

In fact, when he was in Anle County, he sent Wang Yu to ask for help from the very beginning, and he also carried Gao Lishi's Baoshou card. Send Zhang Wei to ask for help again, if Xiao Guan is willing to send troops, then the reinforcements should have arrived last night.

But it was already afternoon, and there was still no sign of reinforcements, indicating that there were no reinforcements at all.

The reality is very helpless, Li Ye doesn't know what will happen after tens of thousands of people are sent to Xiaoguan?Will the defenders not allow them to enter the customs?
In the middle of the night, the elderly, weak, women and children could not walk any longer, so they had to rest on the side of the road.

At this moment, the sound of horseshoes came from a distance, and someone asked loudly, "Where is Captain Li?"

"it's here!"

It was Wang Yu's voice, and Li Ye quickly stood up and waved.

I saw Wang Yu and Zhang Wei galloping on horseback. They got off their horses and quickly came to Li Ye and knelt down on one knee to salute. !"

"What's the reason for not sending troops?" Li Ye asked.

"Reporting to the team, General Xiao Guan said that they only have 3000 people, but they must ensure that 2000 people guard the gate. He can only send 1000 people to rescue at most, but even if 1000 people are rescued, there must be a military order from above. He dare not leave his post without authorization. .”

Li Ye nodded. After all, there were too few troops to rescue him.

"and then?"

"Then Beizhi continued to go south. After traveling for hundreds of miles, I met the main force. I heard that Beizhi has a treasure longevity card. His Highness Wang Guangping personally received Beizhi. His Highness Wang Guangping promised to come to the rescue team immediately."

When they met Li Chu, King of Guangping, Li Ye quickly asked, "Where is His Royal Highness King of Guangping?"

"Just behind, King Guangping's army will arrive soon!"

Li Ye breathed a sigh of relief, at least the arrangements for these tens of thousands of people have been settled.

At four o'clock, the main force of the Tang army finally arrived, with tens of thousands of people.

At this time, a guard rushed over, and he smiled all the way: "Mr. Li, do you still know me?"

Li Ye immediately recognized that it was Pan Xiangying, and went with him to rescue the little prince Li Shi.

"So it's Brother Pan, long time no see!"

Pan Xiangying made great contributions to rescuing Li Shi, and has been promoted to the rank of guard Zhichang. He stepped forward and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness wants to see the young master, please come with me!"

Li Ye got on his horse and followed Pan Xiangying to the temporary commander's tent.

In the big tent, Guangping Wang Li Chu had already received the County Magistrate Wei of Anle County, and after learning about the whole incident, he was deeply moved that all the counties in Shuofang were burned, killed and looted, but Anle County was saved.

Li Ye led less than twenty soldiers, fought fiercely with two Tongluo cavalry of 3000 men, killed nearly a thousand enemy troops, and saved the lives of tens of thousands of people. Don's pillar!

At this time, the guard Pan Xiangying said at the door of the big tent: "Your Highness, Mr. Li is here!"

"Announce him in!"

After a while, Li Ye walked quickly into the big tent, knelt down on one knee and saluted the army: "The tenth team of the Yingyang Army Scout Battalion is attending Li Ye's Highness!"

"Please get up!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Li Chu smiled again: "You are the captain of Xuanjie, and you are also a viscount. It is a bit wronged for you to be in the team."

"It's the meaning of the humble grandfather, let the humble rank start from the low-level generals."

Li Chu nodded, "Your grandfather is right, starting directly from the bottom will allow you to understand the suffering of soldiers better."

"Your Highness, there are many old and weak women and children among these tens of thousands of people, and they are not in good health. This time, I followed the humble official all the way. The humble official is worried that their health will not be able to withstand it, and their lives will be in danger. Your Highness must resettle them as soon as possible!"

"Don't worry! I have arranged for logistics officials to take over, and will temporarily place them in Xiaoguan County. There is enough food and tents, so you don't have to worry about it."

"With His Highness's words, a big rock fell from the humble shoulders."

Li Chu patted Li Ye on the shoulder, "You can save the people of a county. This time you have made great achievements. I have recorded your first contribution, and your subordinates have also recorded their great achievements. From now on, you will be under the command of the Marshal." Join the army and follow me to fight against the Tongyang army."

"Thank you for your great kindness, can I recommend Yu Chiguang to take over the post of scout team leader?"

"can!"

Li Ye took out the gold helmet and military badge from his bag, and handed them to Li Chu, "Your Highness, these are the helmet and military badge of little Abus. He has been shot by the humble officer!"

Li Chu was overjoyed. Little Albus was the chief culprit who attacked him during spring hunting and kidnapped his son Li Shi. Unexpectedly, he was shot and killed by Li Ye in Anle County. Li Chu's pent-up anger was finally relieved.

"Good job! This king will write you down again in the credit book."
