Wei Ying asked: "I guess you know where the Arabs are stationed, right?"
The bearded man nodded like a fool: "I know, I know."
Don't say that he really knows, even if he doesn't know, he still has to say he knows, otherwise it will be of no use, and he will end up like his two companions, who were killed in the ice and snow with a knife across their necks.
"very good."
Wei Ying nodded, put the letter into the envelope and put it in his arms, and said to the other four robes: "One of you will go to Bogda Pass to contact the Uighurs. Presumably those people sent to notify the Turks to send troops have arrived and want to inform the Uighurs.
He was ordered to stay behind when sending out troops, especially after entering Alagou, to ensure that the main force guarded the mouth of the valley."
"Here!"
Wei Ying is the leader of Fang Jun's personal soldiers, and he has always been highly regarded by Fang Jun. If he had not gone to the Western Regions this time, he would have gone to the "Martial Arts Hall" of Zhenguan Academy to study. He will definitely be an officer in the future, so he has a high prestige.
Take the order immediately.
Wei Ying added: "The other two people immediately returned to the station and told the commander that I would personally go to the Arab formation and lure them to Alagou, and so on..."
When he explained the detailed plan, several people were startled, but after a slight hesitation, they did not refute. This was because they were following orders.
Wei Ying finally said: "The last person will follow me to Baishui Town to pass the false news to the Arabs."
"Here!"
Several people obeyed the order and immediately split up.
The bearded man was kneeling on the ground, watching the overly young guy in front of him calmly and calmly planning a vicious plan. He was so shocked that his eyes nearly popped out of his head.
When Wei Ying looked over at him, he hurriedly swore and swore: "The general is so wise and powerful, and full of wisdom and scheming. I admire him so much! Originally, I was just working as a soldier to earn a living. I still have some loyalty in my heart, but my body is
Under the jurisdiction of General Hou Mochen, there are so many military orders. Even if you know they are inappropriate, how can you dare to disobey them? Now that I have seen the general’s patriotism, I am ashamed and willing to follow the general and serve the country loyally!”
Wei Ying would not believe his nonsense, but he still needed to appease this person and let him lead the way to Baishui Town, so he nodded and said: "I am not a murderous person, as long as you don't play tricks,
Haosheng will lead the way to Baishui Town, and I will intercede for you in front of the commander in the future. Even if you are willing to identify Hou Mo and Chen Sui, it will be considered a great achievement!"
The bearded man said hurriedly: "But if you are told, don't dare to disobey!"
Wei Ying nodded, and the last soldier who accompanied him to Baishui Town stepped forward and removed the bearded sword from his hand, and then searched his body carefully to prevent him from hiding the weapon and getting injured in the event of a sudden explosion.
The man is in bad shape. Not only that, but all the fire sticks, food and wine bags on his body were searched. Even if this man escaped halfway, he would never survive for more than a few hours in the ice and snow.
The bearded man had a grimace on his face, but he did not dare to resist. He could only let the soldiers search him cleanly.
Wei Ying looked up at the sky and said, "It's getting late, so hurry up and get on your way!"
The soldier took out a thin rope, tied one end to the bearded man's waist and tied it in a tight knot, and tied the other end to himself. He followed Wei Ying into the wind and snow, heading west.
.
…
The wind and snow were raging, and the three of them had to find a place to rest in the lee of the wind after walking for a while. However, shelter from the wind was not everywhere in the wilderness. Sometimes they could only dig a hole in the snow, and the three of them hid in it and ate a small amount of food.
To maintain physical strength, drink a few sips of wine to keep out the cold.
Fortunately, after dawn, the north wind that had been raging all night subsided slightly. Although the heavy snow was still falling, it was not so uncomfortable.
This is the south of Bogda Mountain. The majestic mountains block most of the severe cold coming from the north. After the wind subsides, walking in the snow does not seem to feel so cold.
It was not until noon that Wei Ying was able to see a majestic mountain ridge in front of him amid the flying snow, as well as a pass at the mountain pass that could not be opened by anyone.
This is Baishui Town, which tightly controls the transportation between the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. Less than a hundred miles to the north, it is Luntai City, the important town for material transportation in the entire Western Region. Going all the way east through the ravine valley between the north and south, you can reach the Yili River, and then follow the flow.
Next, there is Gongyue City guarding the entire Ili River Valley.
Therefore, Baishui Town is a stronghold for military strategists, but now because those powerful officials in Guanlong Gate are determined to put the Youtun Guards to death, they are handed over to the Arabs who have sneaked thousands of miles away...
This group of silverfish and traitors must be found by everyone and punished!
In the wind and snow, Wei Ying stood still, looked back at his soldiers, and then turned back to look at Baishui Town in the wind and snow.
The soldier understood, drew out the sword from his waist, and under the horrified gaze of the bearded man, stabbed the knife into his heart. Then he stirred violently. While drawing out the knife, he took a step aside and sprayed out.
The blood fell on the white snow, melting the snow.
The bearded man made a "gurgling" sound in his throat, but all his strength was lost with the splatter of blood. He fell to the snow, his eyes still looking at the sky with flying snowflakes.
The soldier stepped forward, closed his eyes, and whispered: "Unless I am ruthless, it would be a big disaster if you were left to reveal the plan."
Then he sheathed the knife and pulled the snow around him to cover the bearded body. In this weather, it won't take long for the heavy snow to cover up all the traces here and no one will notice it again.
Wei Ying glanced back and said calmly: "Let's go."
"Here."
The two walked through the wind and snow and arrived at Baishui Town half an hour later.
The pass standing at the mountain pass is not very steep. It was originally built temporarily by the Tang army after the establishment of the Anxi Protectorate, and it looks very crude.
Before reaching the city wall of the strategic pass, soldiers on the city had already discovered the traces of the two men. They lay on the arrow stack and shouted: "Who is coming?"
Wei Ying said loudly: "By order of General Mochen, I am here to help you with important matters!"
The soldiers on the city asked: "Do you have a certificate of seal?"
"Of course there is!"
Wei Ying took out a waistband found from Big Beard's body and threw it onto the city wall that was more than ten feet high.
The soldiers on the city picked up the waist tag, checked it carefully and confirmed it was correct, then shouted to the people below the city: "Wait a moment!"
Then he ran down the city wall, went to the duty room of the city guard captain, and handed in his waist badge. After getting confirmation from the captain, he took people under the city wall to move the winch, and slowly opened a gap in the heavy city gate.
Welcoming the two guards and eagles in.
The captain looked at Wei Ying and the two men up and down, without saying much, and nodded slightly with a gloomy expression, gesturing for the two of them to follow, then turned and walked towards a house not far from the check-in room.
The two men followed closely behind.
When passing by the stables, Wei Ying glanced at them and saw that the stables were all tall and long-legged Arabian horses with smooth fur, and he became more and more confident.
Although the "Eastern Datang Company" has already carried out horse trade with the Great Food Country, almost all the Arabian horses obtained from the transaction are equipped with the Sixteenth Guards in Guanzhong. Other local troops cannot even get a single horse, let alone those far away.
Anxi Army in the Western Regions.
There is no doubt that Baishui Town has been successfully attacked by the Arabs, and these Tang soldiers in front of them are all direct subordinates of the Guanlong clan, and they are willing to sell themselves as thieves.
When we arrived at the building behind the stables, as expected, several Hu soldiers with tall noses and deep eyes, dressed in Tang army uniforms, stood guard from side to side, holding swords on their waists and looking murderous...
Wei Ying lowered his eyebrows and followed the captain into the house.
There was a fire burning in the house, and a charcoal basin was placed, which was very warm. Two tall Hu generals with beards and beards were sitting in the house drinking tea. When they saw the captain coming in, they frowned slightly and mumbled a few words.
What? Wei Ying couldn't understand such nonsense, but he could see that the expressions of these two people were very dissatisfied.
The captain nodded and bowed, said a few words, and then said to Wei Ying, "Is there a letter sent?"
Wei Ying nodded, took out the letter he had seized from Big Beard, and presented it with both hands.
The captain took it, took out the letter and read it carefully, and then spoke to the two Hu generals, probably translating the contents of the letter to them.
After a long while, the captain ended the conversation with the two Hu generals, turned around and asked Wei Ying: "This letter is not entirely true. It only said that the Tang army was stationed in Alagou due to wind and snow, but it did not explain.
Where are the Turks now? How to explain this?"
Wei Ying had already responded and bowed and said: "My general said that the letter should not be stated clearly, otherwise if the letter is lost, it will have a great impact. The general once told me that if the Arabs ask, he will only follow what is said in the letter.
That's all. Anyway, whether it's the Youtun Guards or the Turks, they must cut the grass and root it out to avoid future troubles... As long as the two sides are fighting in the Alagou, the Arabs will immediately send out troops and catch them all."
