Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

According to their marching route, at least they have to detour nearly a thousand miles before they can reach this place!

"That's it!"

Xue Li gritted his teeth, cleaned up, and made all his men change into the clothes of the Shanshan army.

Judging from the intelligence, the big cannibal has a good relationship with Shanshan recently, even surpassing Gaochang.

Moreover, among the Shanshan army, there are many people with the appearance of the Central Plains.

Still, the stakes are high.

Once the enemy finds out, there are only a few people here who can speak Shanshan dialect, and it will all be ruined!

Waving his hand to call his personal guards, Xue Li instructed: "Go back to Dashigancheng quickly and tell Chengqian what's going on here. If there is no news from us within three days, let Jin Ridun forcefully tie Chengqian to Tangni." to the city!"

Chapter 935 The prince of Dashi...was poisoned to death by our people?

Xue Li breathed a sigh of relief after arranging the person to go back to report the letter.

He first asked some people to put the horses in place.

Some people were asked to hide the water tank in the lake.

Finally, with a few agile guards, he looked in the direction of the enemy and touched them.

The late-night sky gave them a good camouflage.

Originally, they could have dived directly from the lake.

Unfortunately, the Western Regions are not the Central Plains.

Diving into the lake at this time is no different from courting death.

After more than half an hour, Xue Li appeared across the lake.

Now, he can see more intuitively the composition of this army.

The total number is about 2, and all of them are cavalry!

Xue Li felt a chill in his heart.

It stands to reason that there are so many big cannibals, and they are cavalry, and they have crossed Congling and appeared in the Western Regions, it is impossible for Taiji not to know.

Now, they have no news at all!

There is a person from Taiji beside Xue Li.

At this moment, his face looked ugly.

This kind of thing will definitely be held accountable after returning home.

Xue Li said in a low voice: "Now is not the time to think about other things, first find out why they came here!"

Several people nodded, leaned down, and quietly approached the army from different directions.

Xue Li stayed where he was, secretly observing their movements.

As a fierce general on the battlefield, Xue Li is good at fighting.

To catch the tongue, it is safest to let Tai Kee's people do it.

It can be seen that this group of big cannibals intends to set up camp by the lake, and they will rest here tonight.

Several cavalry squads began to search around.

This is the basic procedure for a large army to be stationed.

Even an inexperienced general knows that before and after setting up camp, he must control the front, rear, left, and right movements in his own hands to prevent the enemy from sneaking in late at night.

Through the telescope, Xue Li saw the leader of the team.

This is an old man.

The gilded armor on his body proves that he is still a royal family of the Great Food Kingdom.

Even in the central army, his personal guards will guard him in the middle.

Xue Li's eyes sank, and he subconsciously clenched his fists.

The hierarchy of Dashi is very strict.

Unlike Datang's mobile military system, Dashi's army is almost the private soldiers of various royal families.

Once the commander dies, even if the war is won, the soldiers will face extremely harsh punishments after returning home.

Therefore, killing the enemy commander is the best way to break them up.

Xue Li secretly weighed in his heart the possibility of killing that old man.

After hesitating for a moment, Xue Li finally gave up.

He had the confidence to rush over and cut off the old man's head directly, but he was not sure to retreat completely.

It's not that he is afraid of death, but that once he dies, something unexpected will happen to Li Chengqian.

Before coming here, the young master made it very clear that even if the whole army is wiped out, Li Chengqian's life must be saved.

Datang can't afford the price of the prince's death!

After giving up the idea of ​​directly killing the old man, Xue Li took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and continued to observe the enemy's movements.

Although Taiji already had a lot of information about Dashi, after all, he had never seen Dashi's army with his own eyes. He had been in the Western Regions for many days, and Xue Li was used to seeing scattered soldiers in the Western Regions.

The group of people in front of him gave Xue Li the illusion of seeing the Tang army.

The same strict military discipline, the same high morale.

Except for the old man's face, which was not very good-looking, everyone else was doing their own things.

In a short period of time, no loopholes to break through them can be found.

After a while, his personal guards returned.

Also grabbing a fat big cannibal.

Grabbing tongues from the army is a very deep knowledge.

Tai Ji's people are quite sophisticated, and the man caught is a cook in the Dashi army.

The real secret will not be known to low-level officers.

But the seemingly inconspicuous cook is the best candidate to reveal the secret.

Many actions can be reflected in meals.

"withdraw!"

Xue Li gave an order, and they brought the cook back to the other side of the lake in a smear.

A team of Dashi scouts just passed by.

When they ran out of sight, hundreds of people crawled out of the lake trembling.

Wearing Shanshan people's clothes is their last resort. After using it once, it won't work anymore. It's better to use it again at the time of life and death.

With the smallest sound, they pulled the water tank out of the lake.

Under the leadership of Xue Li, they ran towards the open land to the east.

In fact, there is a forest to the south.

But there must be the area that the Dashi scouts are most concerned about, so don't even think about getting out if you run in.

After running wildly all the way, Xue Li gave the order to rest when most people couldn't hold on anymore.

At this time, Xue Li had time to ask about the results of the interrogation.

The cook was already disposed of on the way.

The Taiji employee who had been by Xue Li's side all the time had an even uglier face than before.

It seems that the news will not be too pleasant.

Xue Li sat down with sufficient mental preparation, but after hearing the news, he was still shocked!

"Yousuf?! Are you sure it's Yusuf?!"

He never expected that the luxuriously dressed old man he saw just now turned out to be the Eastern Governor of the Great Food Kingdom, Yusuf!

This person is the top general of Dashi's army. If Dashi really defeats the Tang army in the future and occupies the area from the Western Region to Hetao, then he will become the master of this territory!

Xue Li secretly regretted it.

If he was willing to take the risk just now and kill Yusuf, no matter how high the price was, it would be worth it.

From a political point of view, Yousuf's value to Dashi is not lower than that of Li Chengqian in Datang!

But why did Yusuf enter the Western Regions first?

Shouldn't he have followed Dashi's army of 15 to come over mighty and mighty, and fight Datang on the frontal battlefield?

"That tongue said that Dashi sent an advance army earlier, with a number of around [-], led by the successor of Emperor Dashi. It seems that three days ago, they were poisoned and killed in the Yuli area!"

Xue Li was dumbfounded for a long time, calmed down, and said in a somewhat difficult voice: "The prince of Dashi was poisoned to death by our people?"

"Although that man is not the son of Emperor Dashi, he is similar to the crown prince. Yusuf cannot bear the consequences of his death."

Xue Li was a little confused.

Why is it so messy?

"Wait for me to figure it out, you mean, they didn't plan to sneak attack, right, it's only been three days, how did Yusuf get the news?"

From the old land of Shi State where they were located to Yuli State, it was at least fifteen hundred miles!

Could it be that they can fly?

"They have a kind of falcon specially used to convey information, which is more suitable for long-distance flight than Haidongqing in Liaodong."

As he said that, the Taiji employee looked up at the dark sky.

"So, we'd better take advantage of the darkness and run away quickly. When the sun rises, we will definitely be spotted by their falcons."

Chapter 936 Those eight words, I have already remembered them in my heart

There are many ways to deliver messages.

The most common, such as lighting beacons on beacon towers, can quickly convey the enemy's situation in the border area to Guanzhong.

There are post stations in various parts of the Tang Dynasty, which are specially used for the "city patrol horses" who deliver letters to rest and change horses.

The big families in Chang'an usually raise some pigeons.

However, in this era, any method of delivering messages has a time limit.

Pigeons are the fastest.

But for one thing, the carrier pigeon was easily shot down, and it was impossible to keep it truly secret.

Secondly, homing pigeons cannot persist in long-distance flight.

It will be more than 200 miles if you are exhausted.

Xue Li has been to Liaodong, and he knows that there is a bird in Liaodong called "Caidongqing", which can be used to spy on the enemy's situation and pass on information.

This kind of bird is ferocious in nature, as long as it is trained properly, it is almost impossible to be shot down.

Moreover, flying four or five hundred miles is the same as playing.

After the victory in the Battle of Goguryeo, the Mohe people in Liaodong specially paid tribute to the imperial court with a few crinoids, which are now being raised in the royal family's garden in Sanyuan County.

However, it was in Liaodong

If it were placed in the Western Regions, Costin would not be able to survive at all!

Not to mention passing on information.

Even if it is Taiji, those unpredictable methods cannot send information thousands of miles away in just two or three days!

Only run hard!

At first, Xue Li was worried about the water tank.

Later, he simply arranged for a large group of people to walk slowly with the water tank, and he took a few personal guards to go first.
