Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 271 I Don't Look For Everything

The bitter cold wind howled, like an invisible sharp knife on the face of the rushing army.On the vast snowy field, at a glance, the white snow is undulating with the mountains, and there is no fresh color.

It has been three days since these thousand fine riders left the camp, and it will take two days to reach the place agreed with Tuli from Shuo County at the current speed.

It was not Luo Yan who deliberately delayed.It is true that the snow is so vast that sometimes it is difficult to find the direction.If it wasn't for the fact that Sinan was with him, everyone would have gone nowhere.In addition, along the way, the snow has become deeper and deeper, and in many places, half of the horse's leg is covered.So the speed of these cavalry has also dropped a lot.

Seeing either the white snow or the dark sky in front of him, Zhou Hu spat and said cursingly: "The wind blows the wind and the grass looks down on the cattle and sheep. This group of people are also bragging and not ashamed. There is so much snow, the grass and trees It’s not bad to be able to grow. It’s the first time in my life that I’ve seen such heavy snow, hey, it’s really cold enough.”

"Didn't the general also say that anything can change in the mouths of their literati. Only scholars like them can tell what is true and what is false." Yang Bao laughed, referring to Luo Yan a few days ago. The joke I told them on the road was spoken casually to prove that this sentence is indeed a lie.

Laughing twice, Chen Biao patted the horse and caught up with the first three people: "You two are wrong. In fact, the most important thing is seeing is believing. If you don't come to this experience now, I'm afraid you will hear about it in this life." It's cold in the north, and it's just teasing people about whether they should take a stick when they pee."

Hearing Chen Biao's words, Luo Yan smiled, turned around and asked, "Then tell me, do you need a stick when you pee now?"

"That goes without saying, you must bring it. Otherwise, how could his pants be dry."

A short naughty remark made the four of them laugh out loud in unison.

"By the way, let's take Tuli back this time. If Na Jieli is also arrested in the next big battle, won't we become evil spirits in the hearts of the Turkic people?"

"What you said, I really want to know. It is said that General Yuchi beat the Turks back several times. In the hearts of the Turks, he is the god of my Tang army. If we take these two khans one by one Catch them, take them all back, if the Turkic people see us, we will pee our pants in fright.”

Luo Yan listened to the unscrupulous fantasies of these guys, smiled, and stopped him: "All right, all right, I don't think you guys are beautiful, but you think pretty well. I don't even think about that fellow Jieli. How many elite guards are there around me? Besides, I don’t know how the next battle will be arranged when I bring Tuli back this time. We took it. If we really want to do that, I'm afraid we will become the object of Zhechong Mansion's resentment in the future."

"What the general said is true. However, if Xieli comes to the door by himself at that time, wouldn't we have to give it up to others?"

"Go back to sleep if you haven't woken up, the more you talk, the more outrageous it is." Luo Yan cursed with a smile, then raised his chin: "If he really came to your door, I would be a fool if I didn't get rid of him."

Luo Yan's divine reversal made several people laugh out loud.

The Sanggan River stretches from Hebei to Shanxi, and now Luo Yan's position just crosses the Sanggan River.Going further north for about a hundred miles, you can reach the place agreed with Tuli - a gap in the ancient Great Wall.The iron wall hundreds of years ago is also a little decadent now.Even a large part is still in Turkic territory.

The location Tuli chose was the closest to Yunzhou, but it was also the junction of his and Xieli territory.

It can be described as extremely dangerous for the two sides to meet here.But as long as he can successfully bring Tuli into the Tang Dynasty, even if Xieli wants to pursue him, it will not be so easy.

Five days was the longest time Tuli could cover up his big move.If it takes longer, he will be overtaken by Xieli's men.What the result will be at that time is beyond what they can predict.It is because of such restrictions that even though Luo Yan has not traveled all the way, he does not dare to neglect in the slightest.

Finally, at noon on the fifth day, 1000 people arrived at the gap.

Originally thought that Tuli, who was closer, would arrive earlier than them.Who would have thought that if he looked north towards the gap, he would not even see a ghost.

This time, the army was disappointed for a while.Came here excitedly, who would have thought that the other party hadn't arrived yet.

"General, it can't be that Tuli tricked us. How about we go over and have a look?" Zhou Hu and the others looked expectant, wanting Luo Yan to lead them across the city wall.

After thinking for a while, Luo Yan waved his hand: "Order all the troops to set up camp and bury pots and cook food on the spot. We drove for half a day, and the brothers were all hungry. No matter how you say it, it won't be a short while. I’m here. I’ll wait and conserve my strength first, so that no matter what happens later, I’ll have the strength to deal with it. In addition, I’ll send five teams of scouts to investigate the situation fifty miles into the Turks, and if there’s any movement, report it immediately.”

Contrary to what was originally expected, Luo Yan couldn't be too aggressive.After all, there was still half a day before the agreed time, and it was understandable that Tuli walked slowly with his family.Of course, it is not ruled out that Tuli's men and horses were discovered by Xieli, and the two sides entangled endlessly so as to delay the itinerary.

After hearing Luo Yan's arrangement, the three of them also knew that this was not the time to rush forward, so they bowed their hands to Luo Yan and went down to deal with these matters.Luo Yan was left alone, staring at the boundless snow field in a daze.

In fact, Luo Yan was also very anxious.It is a great thing for Tuli to join the Tang Dynasty. If it goes well, it will not only greatly weaken Xieli's power, but also shake the mentality of some Turkic nobles.Coupled with the introduction of these people as guides, it will be much easier for the army to go deep into the Turkic hinterland.In this way, this expedition will definitely be able to do its best.

Since this matter was in his own hands, Luo Yan naturally didn't want any mistakes.It was precisely because of the anxiety in his heart that Luo Yan sent out five teams of scouts for the first time.You know, before, he would throw out at most two teams of scouts to explore the way, which was considered extravagant.

It was precisely because of this anxiety in his heart that Huotoujun cooked the first meat meal in the past five days, but when Luo Yan ate it, it tasted like chewing wax.Seeing that Luo Yan was out of his mind, Zhou Hu and the other three didn't come to disturb him, but ran outside the tent from time to time to ask the scouts for information.

Seeing that the sun was getting closer and closer to the horizon, the cold wind was getting more and more freezing, and there was still no large group of people coming in the distance, Luo Yan was impatient, so he wanted to give orders and prepare to take people to investigate in person.

At this moment, a fast horse suddenly appeared in sight.Luo Yan and the three lieutenants under him couldn't help feeling tense.Is something wrong?
When he was able to see the clothes of the person coming, Luo Yan was able to confirm that something happened within the range of the scouts.The person who came was the scout they sent out. If they returned to the camp normally, all the troops must have withdrawn, and the scouts they replaced before had already been sent out.

At this time, there was still more than half an hour before the replacement of the scouts, and only one rider came, which meant that something had happened.

When the scout quickly crossed the dilapidated city wall and saw Luo Yan and the others waiting there, he jumped off the horse, bowed and said anxiously: "I will report to the general, I found Tuli Khan leading a large team [-] miles away. The men and horses rushed over. However, there were still many Xieli's subordinates chasing after them. The distance between the two sides is only ten li, and I'm afraid that before this point, Tuli's men and horses will be overtaken."

After hearing the scout's report, Luo Yan didn't say a word: "Zhou Hu, Chen Biao, Yang Bao, hurry up and gather the troops, and I'll go to meet Tuli." Seeing the three of them clasped their fists and turned to leave, Luo Yan untied his belt Throwing the wine bag to the scout: "Drink some wine to warm up your body, I will ask you to lead the way later."

Since the time when he was waiting just now, Luo Yan's armor has not been removed, and there is no need to say anything about changing clothes at this moment.And the place where they were waiting was set up a charcoal fire to keep warm, and it happened that this scout came over, drank strong wine, and roasted his hands and feet.

It was only the time when the scouts drank a few sips of strong wine, and the thousand people had already assembled.Looking at the excited eyes of each of them, Luo Yan shouted: "Xieli's army is ahead, anyone who is not afraid of death, follow me."

Time is running out, and there is not so much time for pre-war general mobilization.Luo Yan used his actions as the best motivation for these soldiers.When the soldiers finished listening to these words, Luo Yan had already led the scout over the city wall and rushed towards the Turkic territory.

These people have been brainwashed by Li Shimin for three full years. Now that they have such an opportunity, how can Luo Yan be better than before.Seeing that Luo Yan had already galloped out, he immediately ran after him, howling.In an instant, it was like a dark cloud in the sky, marching towards the direction led by the scouts without hindrance.

Zhou Hu and the others caught up with Luo Yan who was in front: "General, are you going to fight the Turks head-on?"

Looking at the slightly dim sky ahead, Luo Yan sighed: "Originally, it would be best to deal with Tuli without fighting. But now, if we don't fight, we will not only be killed for nothing. Tujue underestimated it, and it will also chill the heart of Tuli. In addition, the brothers are also eager to fight, no matter what kind of consideration we are in, we must fight hard."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the few people whose faces were bloodshot, and said, "But since we want to fight, we must fight with my Tang Dynasty's prestige. To be able to catch up with Tuli so quickly, there are not too many people who want to come here. So When the time comes to unite with Tuli's subordinates, it is best to wipe out the invading enemy. At this point, I must declare that the archers must keep a few arrows. If the enemy flees at that time, I will shoot them all off their horses. .”

When he said this, Luo Yan stared at Yang Bao for a few times, and then he put down Xinlai when he saw him nodding.

It was Luo Yan who was afraid that these guys would be too excited, and if they didn't hold back their hands, they would not be able to chase and flee the enemy without arrows.Luo Yan's goal was to annihilate them all.
