Changsun Mingdao said: "Don't worry about it. The number of guardsmen in the Youtun Brigade entering the city is only a few hundred. We have no less than a thousand soldiers in the city. How can we not be able to defend the government office? Even if we really can't defend it, we can't.
You can escape out of the city through the tunnel."
Hou Mo and Chen Sui sighed.
The move of sending troops to blockade Jiaohe City was really cruel, and it immediately disrupted their plan, making their plan to stay out of the incident completely in vain. Once the Youtun Guards stormed the government office, even if they could escape, the territory of the Tang Dynasty would be
There is absolutely no room for them.
Even if there is no evidence to prove that they are colluding with Turks and Arabs, as long as they escape, it will give people the impression of "fleeing in fear of crime", and there is no way to clear their names no matter what.
But if they don't leave, they will fall into the hands of the Youtun Guards and be subjected to all kinds of severe punishments. Who can guarantee that they will survive?
After all calculations, how can we not be depressing when Fang Jun's sudden attack ruined the whole plan? Although Fang Jun died in the Western Regions, they had made great contributions to the family, but they could never appear in front of others again, and they would have to suffer this for the rest of their lives.
The infamy of "traitor" cannot be buried in the ancestral grave after death...
Changsun Ming was also in a heavy heart. Although he was already ready to dedicate everything to his family, he thought that he had worked hard for more than ten years to create such a great situation in the Western Regions, and now he was about to lose everything in one day.
How can we not be depressed and resentful when we end up with a family but no home to return to?
The three of them all met the same fate. They thought that by sitting in Jiaohe City and planning everything secretly, they could take this world-famous achievement into their arms. From then on, their prestige in the family became more and more important, and after receiving the full support of the family, they finally died.
His official career was soaring, but he didn't expect that Fang Jun would block Jiaohe City and completely destroy it, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally. His mood was broken for a while, and he sat there in silence.
After a long while, Changsun Mingcai took the lead to regain his composure and said helplessly: "Now that the matter has come to this, what can be done? The general quickly went to inform the Turks of the whereabouts of the Youtun Guards, while Changsun Han hurried to prepare the retreat, making sure that nothing went wrong.
That’s all.”
"Here!"
The two of them took the order together, and Changsun Han returned to the back hall of the government office. He also took several dead men of Changsun's family to open the entrance to a secret passage and went inside to investigate. In case the right guard attacked the government office and could not resist it.
, this escape route must be smooth and there can be no mistakes.
Homo Chen Sui returned to his check-in room, tidied up and put on his football cloak, and followed a few close friends and went in along another secret passage.
When Jiaohe City was built, it was controlled by the Guanlong clan, leaving many secret passages in it, which came in handy at this time.
The confidant blew the fire seal, and a group of people walked along the slightly damp secret passage. After half an hour, a entrance appeared in front, which could accommodate three or four people coexisting. Beyond that, there was a dark dog hole.
The small entrance of the cave can only allow one person to crawl through.
The confidant blew out the fire, then lowered himself down, crawled into the small hole and crawled forward. After a while, a sound of knocking came from the hole, indicating that the road was smooth and there was nothing abnormal.
Hou Mo and Chen Sui followed closely behind and got into the cave.
The entrance to the cave was so narrow that one could not turn over or retreat inside, but could only move forward. Fortunately, the narrow cave was not long. After crawling for a while, he saw a faint light coming from the front, and Hou Mo and Chen Sui sped up.
When I reached the light, I climbed a few more steps, and my eyes suddenly opened up. I had already crawled out of the small hole. The cold wind was blowing, and I couldn't help but shiver.
The cronies took Ho Mo Chen Sui's arm and pulled him out of the cave. Ho Mo Chen Sui put his feet on the ground and looked up to find that this was a dry river. The entrance of the cave was located in a place that was overgrown with weeds and now covered by heavy snow.
Above the covered riverbed, there is now a marsh of reeds. In winter, the reeds withered and dried up, leaving only a densely packed reed pole swaying and rustling in the cold wind.
In the distance, Jiaohe City on the loess plateau stands tall and majestic in the wind and snow.
Behind him, his cronies emerged from the entrance of the cave one after another. Hou Mo and Chen Sui asked people to cover the entrance of the cave. Then he turned back and glanced at Jiaohe City in the wind and snow, then turned around and strode towards the northwest.
The person who took the lead in the whole thing was Changsun Ming, and it was the Changsun family who contributed the most inside and outside. Once the matter was completed, the greatest credit would naturally be attributed to the Changsun family.
Hou Mo and Chen Sui didn't think that he should sacrifice his life for the merits of the Changsun family. Since he, Changsun Ming and others would have to hide their names and go away from home after this incident, it would be better to return to Jiaohe City and risk being raped at any time.
What is the risk of being captured or even beheaded by the Youtun Guards when they break into the government office?
If a person does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.
He only needs to inform the Turks of the whereabouts of the Youtun Guards according to the plan. The Youtun Guards are defeated and Fang Jun dies. His contribution is considered to have been obtained, and the family will naturally recognize it. When the time comes, he will go out and hide for a few years.
When the situation changes, he can still return to the Western Regions and be reused.
Homo Chen Sui handed a letter he had prepared to a close aide and warned: "Take two people with you, go to the Arab army immediately, inform the Youtun Guards of their location, and order them to wait for the Turks to launch a surprise attack."
After the victory or defeat is determined, the entire army will attack and wipe out all the Turks and Youtun Guards without leaving a single one behind!"
The Youtun Guards must be eliminated. This is a big goal. Without the Youtun Guards, the prince's power will be weakened immediately, and Guanlongmen Valve can take advantage of it. However, it is impossible for Guanlongmen Valve to contact the Turks without leakage, and it is even possible.
They will be threatened by the Turks, so only when this group of Turks is wiped out can the safety of Guanlong Gate be ensured.
The Arabs were different. Just like before, Changsun Han was able to act as a guide for the Arabs. After defeating Suiye City, he was still able to show up in Jiaohe City openly. This was because it was impossible for the Chang'an court to get in touch with the Arabs and exchange information with each other.
Although we learned about Changsun Han from the mouths of one or two captives, who could do anything to Changsun's family?
By the same token, even if the Guanlongmen clan contacted the Arabs and annihilated the Turks and Youtun guards in one fell swoop, no one could blame the Guanlongmen clan for this.
Because there can be no evidence for all this...
"After this is done, I will wait for an opportunity to escape from the Arabs and sneak back to my family's warehouse in Luntai City."
"Here!"
The confidant accepted the order, took the letter, randomly named two people, and walked quickly towards the west.
Hou Mo and Chen Sui watched the figures of several cronies disappear into the wind and snow,
…
The night was dark, the wind and snow were blowing, and Wei Ying led several of Fang Jun's personal guards to trek through the snow with difficulty.
It snowed heavily, the north wind raged, and the temperature in the Western Wilderness was extremely low at night. Even though Wei Ying and his party were wearing cotton-padded clothes and fox furs on the outside, their hands and feet were still stiff from the cold. After walking for a while, they had to take a break and drink a few sips.
Strong wine to keep out the cold.
When they turned around a mountain col, a flickering light of fire in the wind and snow ahead made Wei Ying's heart skip a beat, and he grabbed a few robes and lay down in the snow.
"Why is there anyone here at this time?"
One of the guards put his head in the snow and was very surprised.
Wei Ying did not answer, but raised his eyes and looked around. The vast wind and snow blocked his sight, and there was chaos between heaven and earth. He could not see any coordinates at all. He could only estimate in his heart that this place is about fifty miles north of Jiaohe City.
Further north is the Bogda Mountain, with its snow-capped peaks stretching for hundreds of miles, and to the west is the Baishui Town, which separates the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains.
After Baishui Town, there is an open area broken up by many mountains in the Tianshan Mountains, with Luntai City, an important Silk Road town, hugging the mountain pass to the north.
On this trip, I was ordered by the commander to contact the Uighurs. According to the previous reports from the Uighurs, they would follow the Turks to launch a surprise attack on Baishui Town today and tomorrow, and then sneak into the border of Gaochang, waiting for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the Youtun Guards.
At this time, there were actually people in this place. Could it be that they were Turks or soldiers sent by Jiaohe City to contact the Turks?
Wei Ying's heart was beating loudly, and he ordered in a low voice: "Speak softer, maybe it's a Turkic scout. If you catch anyone alive, it will be a great achievement! Everyone, follow me slowly and touch over to see how many people there are. If there are any,
Possibly, take them all!”
In fact, there is no need to whisper at all. The north wind is blowing heavy snow and whistling between the sky and the earth. If you don't come close to your ears, you may not be able to hear each other...
"Here!"
Several personal guards took orders in low voices.
They are all Fang Jun's personal soldiers. They are usually well-trained and have even followed Fang Jun in the north and south. Although they encountered an unexpected situation at this moment, they did not panic at all. At the moment, led by Wei Ying, a few people were knee-deep in the snow.
He moved forward slowly, heading towards the direction where the fire was lit just now.
