"Erlangjun, all the people in the village were taken away by the 14th Lang of the Cao family. He also left a letter for you. You must save them!"
When Zhang Zhao led the eighty or so new recruits, more than 300 people, and escorted a large amount of supplies back to Qixiaohu Village, he was dumbfounded.
Of course he thought that Dunhuang's Jiedu Yamen might find this place, so he sent enough scouts to investigate.
He thought that the other party would probably intercept him halfway or wait for work in the village, but he never expected that the other party would just take them all away for him.
"Look! Your fourteenth brother, let me tie myself to Shijiazhuang!" Zhang Zhao handed the silk in his hand to Lady Cao Sanni.
"It seems that the people from Dunhuang's Jiedu Yamen and Shouchang Town Army do not believe that you, Erlang Jun, killed Ge Du. They probably think that you have colluded with Ge Du's horse thieves."
Mrs. Cao Sanni's expression was very ugly. It was obvious that her fourteenth brother didn't care much about her safety at all.
Because whether it is to stop him halfway or wait for Zhang Zhao to run into him at the mountain village, it is better than leaving a letter for Zhang Zhao to go to Shijiazhuang.
What if Zhang Zhao is a ruthless character and instead of copying these hundreds of people, he chooses to kill Cao Yannai with one knife?
"What is the status of your fourteenth brother in your family? Are you favored?" Zhang Zhao asked lightly.
His original plan was to send Mrs. Cao Sanniang back to Shouchang City, and then wait for her to obtain the pardon order from Jiedu Yamen before leaving directly, but now it seems that this is not possible.
"Very favored!" Cao Sanniang stroked the hair beside her ear. It seemed that she had stabilized, but Zhang Zhao knew that she had not. Whenever this woman was nervous or angry, she would unconsciously twitch her ears.
Side hair.
"The 14th son is the eldest son of King Ling Gong and the fourth son of my uncle Cao Yuan De. His mother is the daughter of the Luo family, a wealthy family in Shazhou. She has a good reputation and is seven or eight years younger than Yuan De Gong. She gave birth to a son.
Naturally, I am favored." When she said that she was seven or eight years younger, Cao Sanniang couldn't help but glance at Zhang Zhao secretly.
However, Zhang Zhao didn't notice. He clapped his hands happily and said, "It's good to be favored. I'm afraid my little nephew doesn't know how powerful my cousin is. As an elder, I just want to teach him a lesson. Shijiazhuang is far away from here."
How far?"
"Does Mr. Erlang want to catch Shiro Fourteen? Shijiazhuang is only more than forty miles away from here, but the old man just said that Shiro Shiro brought a whole regiment of Yueqi and wanted to seize Shiro Shiro.
It’s that easy!”
Lady Cao Sanni narrowed her eyes. This Fourteenth Lang didn't worry about her safety. Of course she didn't care about Fourteenth Lang's safety either. She only cared about whether Zhang Zhao would make a mistake? Would she be involved?
"Erlangjun! The first team of scouts came to report. They found a group of people ten miles away. It looked like there were about 20 or 30 people. They all had two horses. They came from the direction of Shouchang City. It seemed that they should have set off in Yinshi.
." Fan Quan, carrying a stiff bow on his back, rushed over and said.
"Fan Weng, you just said that the people from Shouchang Town Army came with Cao Shishiro, and then they were driven away by Cao Shishiro, right?"
Zhang Zhao quickly asked an old man beside him who was weeping and wiping away his tears. It was the old man who insisted in front of Cao Shishi that the Taibao Gong was a saint. It turned out that he was the father of brothers Fan Quan and Fan Shun and the father-in-law of Qi Xianghu. "That's right! Although I was far away and couldn't hear clearly, I vaguely heard Cao Shishiro saying that if he didn't solve the problem in Hongze Township, he would take everyone in the village to Shouchang and lead Erlang Jun to Shouchang.
!"
Seeing that Zhang Zhao should go to rescue everyone in Shijiazhuang, Old Man Fan stopped crying. He jumped up from the ground and tried hard to recall the conversation he heard between Cao Shilang and Ma Yaozi.
"You know what's going on!" Mrs. Cao Sanni's face became even more ugly. She was the daughter who married the Murong family in Guazhou and was responsible for maintaining the relationship between the Cao family and the Murong family. Luo Xianda had not settled hundreds of tribesmen privately.
Things are important now.
"A Weng bribed Shouchang envoy Luo Xianda with money a month ago and asked him to place hundreds of Murong tribe members in Hongze Township. The Fourteenth Lang is threatening Luo Xianda with you!"
"Luo Xianda! It seems that he was my father's original confidant, so that's it!"
Zhang Zhao touched his chin and understood something, but he didn't see that the old Zhang Zhong behind him had a look of hesitation on his face after hearing Luo Xianda's name.
"Okay! Sanniang, didn't you say that Cao Shishiro is surrounded by three hundred Yue cavalry and it's not easy to catch him? No, here's the solution!" Zhang Zhao smiled at Cao Sanniang.
"Mr. Lang wants to pretend to be Shouchang's envoy Luo Xianda to meet Shiro Shiro and then control him?"
Mrs. Cao Sanniang's eyes lit up. This was feasible. Anyway, Shiro Shiro had never met Mr. Zhang Erlang. As long as he pretended to be a Shouchang Town Army man, he would definitely be able to get close to him.
Ma Yaozi was holding a piece of withered dogtail grass in his mouth and hurried on with a tired look on his face.
This group of Shouchang town troops plus him has thirty-one people, which is exactly three fires. Shouchang County is in the southwest of Dunhuang. The purpose of setting up the town army here is specifically to target the Tubo and Uighurs in the Qilian Mountains.
"The cavalry team is here, I heard Li Sanlang and others say that Ge Duo has been killed? Is this true?"
The person who asked about the horse kite was a strong man leading two horses. On the back of the two horses, there was a very well-made Tibetan armor tied to the left. Immediately on the right was a huge wrought copper mace and a covered side.
An oxhide buckler made of iron.
The strong man's surname is Yan, and he is Ma Yaozi's deputy. He is a fierce man. Seven years ago, the Tubo rule collapsed in the Qilian Mountains. Deputy Yan snatched Dongdai's armor and horses from above, and killed them all the way down the Qilian Mountains. He was invincible.
, it is said that he killed nine Tubo nobles alone, but not many people believe it.
Deputy Yan also came from a famous family. His ancestor was Yan Chao, the last Hexi Jiedu envoy of the Tang Dynasty, known as Taiyuan Yan.
After the Tubo army captured Hexi, the Yan Dynasty led its troops to resist desperately and defended Shazhou for more than ten years. Later, Kaicheng surrendered after the Tubo people promised not to turn the people of Shazhou into slaves.
However, Yan Chao saved the Shazhou people but failed to save himself in the end. The Tubo people were concerned about Yan Chao's reputation in Shazhou and poisoned him while escorting Yan Chao and his family members to Luoche. Many members of the Yan family stayed behind.
He went to the Qilian Mountains and worked as a slave for the Tubo people.
After Lieutenant Yan rushed down the mountain, he returned to Qilian Mountain many times and rescued hundreds of slaves with Han ancestry like him. Finally, he was awarded the position of Lieutenant and placed in Shouchang.
"Dead!" Ma Yaozi nodded, then suddenly shook his head, "Not dead either!"
"What do you mean?" Deputy Yan looked at Ma Yaozi in astonishment. If he is dead, he is dead. If he is not dead, he is not dead. Is there any way to live between death and immortality?
Ma Yaozi touched his chin, maybe he felt that there was something wrong with his expression.
"I saw the body, but it didn't have a head. Although the horse thieves under Ge Du were very sure that it was Ge Du, and it looked like it, it's not always easy to be sure without a head."
"That means he is dead! His head must have been chopped off." Captain Yan looked regretful.
"A certain person has said a long time ago that Ge Duo is old and frail, and he is definitely a silver-headed gun. I asked you to find an opportunity to fuck him as soon as possible. You are taking your time.
Now it’s better! It’s an advantage for others! This bitch has been a horse thief for more than ten years, and his wealth is huge!”
