Huaihua Lang sent Meng Yu to see the name on the transfer order. It was indeed Duan Xiushi, the commander of the left brigade and right brigade of the sixth regiment under his command in Dashi City. This man seemed to be quite famous in the army. He was an unparalleled crossbowman, but even if he
No matter how famous he is, he is just a soldier, how can he compare with the wealth and lives of all the soldiers in Dashi City. So Meng Yu's idea at the moment is to quickly send away the holy envoy in front of him and let him get on his way quickly.
He immediately waved: "Here comes someone!"
A soldier came to the hall and took orders with his hands crossed.
Meng Yu handed the note to the soldier and told him: "This is the transfer order issued by the Duhufu. Duan Xiushi is transferred from Dashi City to the Kucha Tiaodang Camp. You go and call him here."
The soldiers took the order and left.
…
At the headquarters of the Sixth Regiment in Dashi City, Duan Xiushi stood on the crossbow shooting range with a wine jar in hand. He opened the crossbow and held it flat with one hand. He looked up at the mountain slightly and aimed at the target in the distance.
In front of the target, a tongbao is hung on a red silk thread, swaying slightly in the wind.
He squinted one eye and took aim, then suddenly clicked his finger and fired in response. The crossbow arrow shot out like lightning, drawing a long arc in the air and landing accurately in the center of the red heart of the target.
"Lv Lie, I won, and all the money I just bet should be mine."
Standing aside in armor and holding a bow, Lu Sui gritted his teeth and twitched the corners of his mouth, and said to the people around him: "Go and check the target."
"Here!" A soldier was about to run over, but Duan Xiushi called out to him: "Han Shishiro, my crossbow arrows have special marks. Don't cheat to change them for me."
Han Shiro's shoulders trembled, he turned around and glanced at him with a cold expression, and then ran towards the target.
Duan Xiushi didn't care about this, and he couldn't stand these flatterers the most. While he was holding a jar and drinking wine, his style was independent and proud, while Lu led the other party to stand on the other side, forming a confrontation with him.
Han Shishilang directly brought the archery target over, trotted up to them, scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "The arrow that the brigade leader just shot hit the bullseye, but it failed to hit the Tongbao coin hanging by the ribbon.
Duan..." He glanced at Duan Xiushi with deep resentment before revealing the archery target. The arrowhead stuck in the center of the target plate was inlaid with a copper coin.
"Did you see that I also won today's competition? Each person has fifty dollars, so bring it."
Duan Xiushi stretched out his palm uncomfortably, and Lv Shui stuffed a bunch of copper coins into his palm with a gloomy face. The other participants in the competition also took out copper coins and handed them to him.
The team leader stood in front of him with an angry look on his face, raised his finger and said angrily: "Duan Xiushi! You think you are capable! Let me tell you! Even if you have just made a great contribution, you can't escape from the Sixth Regiment of Dashi City! As long as the brigade
The rate is still above your head, even if you are promoted to team leader, I will still be able to knock you down in the future!"
Duan Xiushi had a sincere smile on her face, and her tone was neither salty nor bland: "Thank you, team leader, for criticizing me. You are right, but the money must be paid."
"Okay, I'll give it! Don't regret it!"
Captain angrily took out the money from his arms, grabbed a bunch and threw it on the ground in front of Duan Xiushi. Duan Xiushi raised his foot, kicked it, kicked it again, kicked the copper coins into the air and stretched out his hand to catch it, laughing and saying: "
Thank you, team leader."
Just as the team was about to leave angrily, they saw the brigade commander arriving with a soldier of the city envoy. The soldier handed him the piece of paper in his hand: "The transfer order is given to you by the Governor's Office. The escort has asked you to go to the city tower.
Go to the meeting hall. The Zhonglang from Kucha will personally see you by name."
The brigade commander and his team members opened their eyes in astonishment. They really didn't expect that this show would turn out in real time, and they would leave Dashi City directly and win the favor of General Zhonglang from Qiuci. The ups and downs of life cannot be judged by common sense.
Duan Xiushi quickly arrived at the meeting hall of the city tower and saw Li Siye sitting on the stage. Even their Dashi City prison officer had to stand respectfully below. Unexpectedly, Lieutenant Li, who had commanded them to cooperate internally and externally, was now so unattainable.
, this also verified his judgment that this Li Siye was indeed not an ordinary person. An arrogant military scholar like him, who had read thousands of books, could not be proud in front of him.
"General Li, the person you asked for has been brought to you."
Duan Xiushi immediately bowed and crossed his hands and said: "Duan Xiushi, a humble official, has met General Li."
Li Siye nodded: "Yes, come with me."
Duan Xiushi followed him out of the meeting hall. The dim sunlight shone on the stairs of the city wall road. The two of them walked one behind the other, each in silence.
He led Duan Xiushi into a private house where everyone from the Eighth Regiment gathered. There were people he knew well among them, and they didn't feel too strange. He could also vaguely feel that General Li was afraid that the people who had participated in Talas's capture of the city would be destroyed.
All the people were summoned together, which is enough to show that Li Siye attaches great importance to feelings and nostalgia.
It was inconvenient for him to ask in public just now, but now he asked without any scruples: "Where are we going? To Kucha?"
Li Siye replied: "I won't go to Qiuci for the time being. I am now the imperial envoy and will soon go to the royal tent of the Khan Court in Suiye City to confer the title of Tuqi Shi Khan."
Duan Xiushi shook his head, took another breath, and asked Li Siye, "Is it still too late for me to return to the Sixth Regiment?"
"Don't even think about it. The transfer order from the Anxi Protectorate has been issued. Just follow me honestly and follow me to Kucha after completing this errand."
Duan Xiushi suddenly felt as if he had been forced onto a pirate ship. Then he crossed his arms and saluted, and asked a question he was concerned about: "May I ask General Li, how many of us are there in total?"
"I brought more than thirty brothers under my command, and the team escorting the reward property also numbered thirty or forty people, totaling less than a hundred people."
Duan Xiushi crossed his hands and asked again: "Does the general have any way to deal with it?"
"There is no way. It's just an edict and a decree. When the time comes, we can just adapt accordingly."
"Goodness is the best solution for the present. If there is no countermeasure, it is the best way."
A group of people looked at each other and looked at the two of them playing riddles here, always feeling very profound.
Li Siye waved his hand and said to everyone: "Have a good rest tonight and leave for Dundo City tomorrow."
In the early morning of the next day, the gates of Dashi City slowly opened to both sides. Li Siye walked out of the city gate with a sword in hand and his war horse, followed by his entire team of more than 30 people. School Captain Zhao Congfang followed at the end with an escort convoy in low spirits.
The team slowly crossed the Calabash River on the other side of the city. The water in the river was clear and the bottom was full of warm pebbles. A person's knees could be submerged if he stepped in the water. Going north from here, there are many such rivers on the grassland.
On the third day, they arrived at Dunduo City. There was only one regiment of the Tang Army stationed here. It belonged to the 34th Zhechong Mansion along with the three regiments in Dashi City. The regiment commander personally came out of the city to greet him, which was at least better than that of Mengyu in Dashi City.
The general is much more respectful.
Li Siye renovated the city and put all the unnecessary things in the city, leaving one person to guard him. He could only carry armor, swords and quilts, and a month's supply of compressed biscuits and bacon. Although he was smart enough
When dealing with sudden attacks by cavalry, one must also be prepared to flee for one's life in a light vehicle.
They set off again and headed for Dongcheng, Helie City and Yezhi City along the attack route of the Tang Army. The escorting team was panic-stricken. The closer they got to Suiye City, the more fear they felt in the hearts of the soldiers. Li Siye was not interested in giving any help.
They boost morale. They are not going to fight in the first place. They are just announcing decrees and delivering rewards. The fear is just because their psychological quality is too low.
Look at Tian Zhen, she knows full well that there is great danger ahead, and she is content to eat wine and meat without fear.
The sky is light blue in the early morning, and snow-capped mountains surround Atami Lake. The forest forms a reflection on the lake. Mist rises from the lake and condenses in the air, covering the lake.
Li Siye led everyone to replenish the water supply after drinking horses at the lake, and then continued to move north, passing General Perot City, and finally arrived at Suiye City.
