Guo Guangbi slapped his son so hard that stars popped out of Guo Shaoxiong's eyes and blood dripped from the corners of his lips. He covered his face with five clear finger marks and said in shock: "Dad, why did you hit me?"
Guo Guangbi was so angry that his hands and feet were trembling. He pointed at Guo Shaoxiong's nose and cursed angrily: "You bastard, you are so angry with me. Then who is Hu Xiaotian? We are lucky enough that he doesn't mess with us, but you actually take the initiative to mess with him.
Do you know that this is Tai Sui's trouble? You just want to die yourself, why do you want to hurt everyone?"
Guo Shaoxiong said loudly: "You are afraid of him, but I am not! The thousand brothers I lead are all dressed in black and masked, and most of them are from the Dangyi ethnic group. Even if Hu Xiaotian is extremely capable, he will not be able to trace us.
, I also had those horses resold without leaving any clues at all.”
Guo Guangbi said: "Aren't you afraid? Why did you cover your face if you weren't afraid? Why didn't you dare to leave those war horses behind if you weren't afraid?"
Guo Shaoxiong was speechless.
Guo Guangbi said angrily: "Do you think it's enough to kill all those people? The robbery happened in Ankang Grassland. There are not many people in this area who can mobilize so many soldiers and horses. You might have been able to escape the disaster, but you still did it?"
You were smart enough to sell those horses. With so many horses, do you think Hu Xiaotian won’t be able to trace them? He won’t be able to trace us along this clue?”
Guo Shaoxiong said: "Even if he is traced, there is nothing to be afraid of. Ankang Grassland is so big. He only needs to send out a large army and we hide on the grassland. It is not that easy to find us."
Guo Guangbi looked at his son who not only couldn't help him but was causing trouble everywhere, he didn't know what to say. He pointed to the door and shouted angrily: "Get out of here! I don't want to see you!"
Guo Shaoxiong snorted coldly, turned around and left. When he went out, he almost bumped into Xie Jian. Xie Jian greeted: "Where are you going, young marshal?"
Guo Shaoxiong ignored him and strode away.
Xie Jian looked at Guo Shaoxiong's back and couldn't help but shake his head. Judging from Guo Shaoxiong's furious reaction, he must have just been scolded by Guo Guangbi. He raised his eyes to look at Guo Guangbi. He saw that Guo Guangbi's face was livid and still angry.
Guo Guangbi gritted his teeth and cursed a beast, then sighed and said, "Mr. Xie is here."
Xie Jian said: "Young Marshal, have you been angry again?"
Guo Guangbi had a stern look on his face. He told Xie Jian what Guo Shaoxiong had done. After hearing this, Xie Jian couldn't help but turn pale with shock and exclaimed: "My lord, this matter is not trivial. He killed so many people and then robbed him."
The cavalry team, how could Hu Xiaotian be willing to give up?"
Guo Guangbi said: "I didn't expect him to be so bold, but everything has been done, and it's too late to regret now."
Xie Jian nodded and whispered: "Did anyone escape alive?"
Guo Guangbi said: "According to what he said, everyone was driven out and killed, and not a single person escaped alive."
Xie Jian frowned, but he didn't fully believe it in his heart. He still knew a little about Guo Shaoxiong. This guy was a second-generation master with no ability, and he also thought highly of himself. He would inevitably feel scared if he made such a big mistake.
, may not dare to tell the truth in front of Guo Guangbi.
Xie Jiandao: "We need to let the young commander go out as soon as possible to avoid the limelight, and strictly control those who participated in the operation. Spread the news and push the matter to Yulan Country, and find the businessman who bought the horses as soon as possible. That businessman is likely to
If you know the inside story, you must eradicate it to avoid future troubles."
Guo Guangbi nodded and said in a deep voice: "I hope Hu Xiaotian will not track us down."
Xie Jian said: "These are just some remedial measures. It's hard to say whether they can be used. Maybe we have to prepare for the worst."
Guo Guangbi said: "You mean Hu Xiaotian will raise his troops to march westward?"
Xie Jiandao: "I don't rule out this possibility, but according to my estimation, Hu Xiaotian is not suitable for sending troops to the west on a large scale at the moment. The road from Xingzhou to Jicheng is deserted. There is a lack of water sources, and Jicheng has no strategic value. For a few lives,
It seems uneconomical to launch a large-scale war. What's more, his current strength does not support expansion too fast. If he expands blindly, his neighboring countries will definitely take advantage of it."
After hearing Xie Jian's words, Guo Guangbi felt a little relieved and said with relief: "As long as he doesn't send out an army, it won't be a trouble."
Xie Jian said: "Even if the worst comes to worst and he really sends troops, we can abandon Jicheng and go to Ankang Grassland to start a guerrilla war with them."
Guo Guangbi smiled bitterly and said: "Imagine how powerful we were when we first occupied Xingzhou, but now we are being chased and hiding in a small border town. We may not even be able to save this small town. How can I have any dignity in this world?"
Xie Jian said: "We still have more than 40,000 elite soldiers to keep the green hills, so we can easily defend but difficult to attack. As long as we have a firm foothold here and rely on the unique geographical conditions of Ankang Grassland, even if we can't attack
It has developed and grown in a short period of time and there is no problem in self-protection.”
Guo Guangbi thought about the peace he had finally obtained and was in danger of being broken due to his son's reckless behavior. He was itching with hatred and gritted his teeth and cursed: "This beast really fails to succeed but fails to succeed."
After careful consideration, Hu Xiaotian decided to give up the idea of conquering Guo Guangbi. Although Guo Guangbi was the biggest suspect, he had no definite evidence on his side, and the expedition was based on unknown sources. Another point was particularly important. He and Xie Jian considered one thing, starting from Xingzhou
The road to Jicheng is deserted and lacks water, which makes it difficult for large-scale marches. Military supplies will become a big problem. Although Jicheng is small, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Moreover, the surrounding area is 50 miles away from the desert Gobi, making siege a difficult task.
Even more difficult.
But if we really want to conquer, these difficulties can be overcome, it is nothing more than paying a little more price. Since the battle of Yunyang, Guo Guangbi's forces have been completely eliminated from the Yongjiang River Basin. Hu Xiaotian no longer regards him as an opponent.
I originally planned to let this guy fend for himself in that small border town, but I didn't expect this to happen. The Battle of Yunyang proved that Guo Guangbi and his gang were just a mob and did not have much fighting power.
If Guo Guangbi was eradicated, his men would inevitably become scattered. This was the reason why Hu Xiaotian decided to go there and resolve the matter in person. Tang Tiehan was not only his subordinate, but also his brother-in-law. He must give justice to the Tang family as soon as possible in this matter.
Although Tang Tiecheng was ready to go, he was rejected by Hu Xiaotian. He was impulsive and was blinded by hatred because his eldest brother had to die. Hu Xiaotian was worried that something bad would happen if he followed him. The guy refused to stay at home honestly, so he simply asked someone to go.
Put Tang Tiecheng under house arrest to prevent him from ruining major events.
He took Tang Qingxuan with him on this trip, firstly to take her to revenge, and secondly to let her go out and relax. It happened that Zongtang came to Dongliang County from Dayong, and heard that Hu Xiaotian was going to Jicheng, so he offered to accompany him
Go, he has gone to the Western Regions to purchase goods many times in the past, and is very familiar with the situation there. Together with Visa who is proficient in various languages, Xiong Tianba who is born with supernatural powers, and Liang Yinghao who is good at digging holes, they have gathered together again
An elite team of fifty people dressed up as a caravan and sailed upstream along the Yongjiang River. After landing in Xingzhou, they headed west.
It would take half a month to get from Xingzhou to Jicheng even if he drove day and night. Hu Xiaotian tried his best to enlighten Tang Qingxuan on the way, asking for news and browsing the scenery along the way. Don't rush everything. Hu Xiaotian knew that haste makes waste.
reason.
After leaving Xingzhou, we saw less and less vegetation. Although it was early spring, the Gobi Desert was still a lifeless scene. At the beginning, everyone was still very interested in the vast scenery beyond the Great Wall.
, but for several days in a row, the scenery was all like this. The monotonous colors began to make people feel boring. In addition, they encountered sandstorms for three consecutive days on the way, and everyone was blown away.
As we approached Jicheng, the sandstorm that had been raging for many days finally subsided. The sky was blue, without a single cloud. The sun was shining straight down, and the glare was so strong that everyone could hardly open their eyes.
Xiong Tianba's dark face was now a little purple. He used his hands to build a pergola on his forehead to block the bright light and looked into the distance. He muttered: "Damn! You will freeze to death at night, and you will die from the sun during the day."
, my face is almost pockmarked by the wind and sand, and I will still have to find a wife in the future."
Liang Yinghao laughed loudly on the side: "You look like a big monkey, whose daughter is willing to marry you?"
Xiong Tianba said: "Everyone likes radish and cabbage, and beautiful women don't necessarily like handsome ones. Stinky tofu is smelly enough, but there are also many beautiful women competing to eat it!"
Everyone around him laughed at what this guy said. Zongtang laughed loudly and said, "I think what the naughty kid said is reasonable."
Liang Yinghao said: "Why do I hear there is something in his words?" He deliberately glanced at Hu Xiaotian.
Hu Xiaotian chuckled and said, "I think so too, naughty kid, you think I'm unhappy, don't you?"
Xiong Tianba hurriedly shook his head and said: "Third uncle, don't listen to Uncle Liang's nonsense. I didn't say what you meant. You are so handsome. Not to mention beautiful women, I like you."
Everyone laughed more and more happily.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and scolded: "I have no interest in you, a big horse monkey."
Tang Qingxuan was still distracted. She was sitting on the horse and fell behind the team, looking unhappy. Visa was always by her side and whispered: "Sister Qingxuan, why are they chatting so lively? Why don't we go over and listen too?"
.”
Tang Qingxuan said softly: "Go ahead."
Wei Sa knew that she had not yet gotten over the pain of losing her brother, and looked at Tang Qingxuan with some sympathy. At this moment, she suddenly heard Hu Xiaotian in front of him saying: "Brothers, Jicheng is ahead!"
