Datang: Li Er, are you teaching me how to do things?

Chapter 322 I Surrender, I Surrender

The sky on the prairie changed as it said it would, and the sky was still clear just now, but it changed color after a while.

Li Yun led the soldiers towards Shengzhou.

This Shengzhou is the famous Ordos in later generations. Every winter, woolen clothes from this place are sold everywhere.

According to the information given by Lan Zhu, Li Yun knew all of Ashina Yucoco's plans, and only then did he know what a big deal he had encountered.

This Turkic aristocrat actually wanted to form an army mainly composed of bandits. Although it was a bit whimsical, maybe these rookies would be useless on the battlefield.

But there is no doubt that it is a great credit to Li Yun, anyway, if he defeats Ashina Yuyu.

That is to destroy a big conspiracy against Datang.

Li Yun is naturally unwilling to let this credit be lost in vain, according to the clues provided by Lan Zhu.

At this time, Ashina Yuyu was leading about [-] Turkic soldiers to set up camp on the grassland about [-] miles away from Shengzhou.

He welcomes all the bandits to go, and every bandit force in the past can get a large sum of money, as well as the Turkic military position promised by Ashina Yucocoon, and the title of nobility.

It is said that many bandits are very excited, after all, who doesn't want to glorify their ancestors.

Not being able to be an official of the Tang Dynasty, but being an official of the Turks is more or less a consolation.

Not to mention that Datang is about to fight the Turks. Once the Turks win, they will be able to become generals by then.

So according to Lan Zhu, as early as 20 days ago, Ashina Yucocoon had won the refuge of more than 2000 bandits.

There should be more bandits under Ashina Yucocoon now.

In fact, Li Yun didn't really want Ashina Yujiao to have too many people under his command.

Although more people means greater credit, but also greater risk.

More importantly, his subordinates are all soldiers he is familiar with, and he does not want any sacrifices if possible.

Therefore, Li Yun hoped that there would be only 5000 people on Ashina's cocoon. If there were tens of thousands, he would not take the initiative to attack. Instead, he would contact the Shengzhou garrison first, and then consider defeating and dealing with it.

Judging from the map, the distance from Xiazhou to Shengzhou is very far, about the same as to Chang'an, but most of the roads from Xiazhou to Chang'an are mountain roads, and the road is not easy to walk.

Most of Xiazhou to Shengzhou are grasslands, which are good for cavalry to run.

So Li Yun's speed is still very fast.

Today is the third day since departure from Xiazhou, and Li Yun estimates that it will take at most two days to arrive at the place where Ashina's cocoon flag is set up.

At this time, the sky was gloomy, and the wind in the grassland was blowing, and it was constantly tearing people's clothes.

The horse's hair is blown up.

"There should be heavy rain later, we need to find a place to shelter from the rain first."

There is no place to shelter from the rain in this endless grassland. Fortunately, Li Yun and the others brought some tents, so after searching for a while, they did not find a place to shelter from the rain.

Li Yun immediately arranged for the soldiers to set up tents.

Before long, ten large tents were erected, and the soldiers hid inside, while the horses had to keep them outside.

"boom!"

There was a muffled thunder in the sky, followed by grains of heavy rain falling from the sky.

The rain was so thick that it was almost impossible to see anything five meters away.

At this moment, there was a rumbling sound in front, but the rain was too heavy, the big guys couldn't see what it was, and thought it was thunder.

It took half an hour for the rain to subside a little. After a while, the rain completely subsided and the air became much clearer.

A scent of green grass danced in the air.

"Your Highness, there is a situation ahead."

Two large tents were set up in the open space about 50 meters away, and a group of them were sheltering from the rain in the tents.

Beside them were hundreds of horses.

I didn't see it clearly because of the heavy rain before, but now I know that the previous rumble was actually the sound of horseshoes.

Li Yun smiled, "Let's go, we will meet them."

Looking at the clothes of the group of people opposite, these people are clearly a group of bandits, or bandits.

At this time, at this place, there is no doubt that they are the ones who want to take refuge in Ashina Yucocoon.

For such a person, Li Yun will naturally not let it go.

The people on the opposite side also saw Li Yun, and they quickly got on their horses and assumed an attacking posture.

Li Yun rode forward, pouted and said with a smile: "Who are you?"

Among the people on the opposite side are Han Chinese, Turkic people, and some faces from the Western Regions.

A strong Han man in his 30s came out, and he saluted and said, "Hi, my lord, Zhang Mu, we are a caravan heading to Shengzhou."

Li Yun almost didn't laugh out loud, squinting his eyes and said: "You are a caravan, what about your products?"

Zhang Mu showed a look of sadness, "My lord, our goods were robbed by bandits. Originally, we were a caravan of more than 300 people, but nearly half of the people were killed by bandits. took our stuff."

Li Yun laughed, "Really, that's really miserable."

"Yes, my lord, our situation is really miserable, please avenge us, my lord."

Li Yun smiled, "What kind of goods do you sell?"

"Uh... am I selling special products from the Western Regions?"

"What's there?"

"There is...the Western Region fruit wine, and...there are blankets, and some delicious food."

Li Yun nodded, and suddenly said: "Is the buyer Ashina Yuyu?"

"The buyer is... oh, the buyer is not..."

Zhang Mu stuttered, he hesitated, but couldn't tell why.

Li Yun clapped his hands, and the soldiers raised their bows and arrows, "Come on, talk carefully, or I will shoot you all like hedgehogs."

Zhang Mu lowered his head and did not speak.

At this moment, a person rushed out behind him and rushed straight to Li Yun.

This person was extremely fast, "Puff! Puff! Puff!" A few sharp arrows shot towards him, but this person avoided him.

The man had a mouth full of black teeth, jumped up suddenly, took out a short knife, and stabbed Li Yun.

"clang!"

Just when everyone was exclaiming, Li Yun drew out his sword and stabbed it out. The sneak attacker who had jumped up fell heavily to the ground and remained motionless.

A large area of ​​blood flowed from his neck, and there was a gap the size of a bowl.

Li Yun smiled and looked at Zhang Mu again, "I'll give you a chance to survive. Everyone dismounts and surrenders on their knees."

Zhang Mu made a dull and sinister voice, "You are really dreaming, do you think I, Zhang Tianlong, are easy to provoke?"

After saying that, Zhang Mu clamped his legs into the horse's belly, "Come on, brothers, fight with them."

Li Yun drew out his bow and arrow, and without saying a word, shot it out with one arrow.

"puff!"

The bow and arrow hit Zhang Mu's arm directly, and the huge impact directly overturned Zhang Mu, and he couldn't help but fell to the ground.

Li Yun stepped forward on his horse and looked at Zhang Mu coldly while holding his bow.

"I surrender, I surrender, brothers, stop fighting."

Zhang Mu didn't expect to be so frustrated, he knelt down, raised his uninjured hand, and shouted with a bitter face.
