Chapter seven hundred and fiftieth seventh treasures confuse people's hearts
In the evening, a lone camel rode alone on the flat post road in the distance.
Nowadays, the world is in chaos, and military disasters are everywhere. Even caravans no longer travel far to avoid disasters. There will be no other people on this post road except the army's messengers. Such a lone traveler is even more suspicious.
Feng Changqing's secret sentry had already discovered this lonely camel traveler and quickly reported it to the general.
"Oh," after Feng Changqing heard about it, he immediately ordered the secret whistle: "You should bring six or seven people immediately and invite this camel guest over to me."
Not long after Feng Changqing gave the order, the detectives went down the mountain and caught the man as a tongue, tied him up tightly and brought him to the original place.
This man wore a pointed felt hat and dressed like a Sogdian barbarian. He came to Feng Changqing with a calm expression. When General Feng saw it, he quickly ordered: "Hurry and untie Cao Canjun."
Cao Anding stretched his aching arms and crossed his hands and said to Feng Changqing: "General Feng is indeed very fast. The convoy escorting the property will set off from Guanxi Station tomorrow morning and is expected to arrive here before noon. It's just that in broad daylight, General Yu's actions are not good.
."
Feng Changqing smiled boldly and said: "We are tough bandits, so naturally we have to rob him in broad daylight."
He immediately ordered to all the soldiers: "Sleep well tonight, eat and drink enough tomorrow morning, and prepare to go down the mountain to copy goods."
The soldiers were in high spirits and shouted "Hey" again and again.
In fact, "sleep well" is just a thoughtful word. It is already early winter, and the temperature difference between day and night is huge. The only daily items the soldiers carry are two sheep felts, and there are very few people carrying quilts. When the autumn wind blows at night
, the cold west wind blew the soldiers lying on the ground from the inside out.
In the early morning of the next day, the soldiers began to stretch their muscles and eat in advance. Those who were usually reluctant to eat bacon ate an extra piece to reward themselves, and then quickly got into the ambush position and crawled down.
Soon, vehicles with flags appeared on the post road in the distant plains. The dust kicked up by the wheels was flying. Flags were hung on each vehicle, and nearly two hundred rebels were escorting them from front to back.
When they reached Yuanxia, Lieutenant General Feng Changqing immediately led a team to rush down the hillside to cut off the convoy's retreat, while he himself led a small team to intercept them in front.
As if facing a formidable enemy, the rebels drew their weapons or drew their crossbows. Facing the Tang army that suddenly appeared in front of them, they did not show much panic.
The general in charge of the escort was quick-thinking and thought that this was the area controlled by the Yan Army. The sudden appearance of the Tang Army seemed very strange. He rode out of the formation and folded his hands carelessly: "Brothers of the Tang Army, which branch are you from?
team?"
Feng Changqing ordered a rough man to step forward and shout: "What the hell do you care about? Please keep all the food and property in the car!"
The general thought he had guessed the identity of these Tang troops, and he laughed and said: "Could it be that they are the remnants of Geshu Hantong Pass who were defeated? Hiding in the Qinling Mountains and becoming bandits?"
The rough man pretended to be speechless, and the expressions of Feng Changqing and others suddenly changed, which seemed to confirm the general's guess. His momentum and courage gradually grew, and he said with a smile: "We have some extra food, and we also have some expenses.
, I can give it to you as money to buy the road, but I can’t give you the things on the car.”
"You are sending the beggars away! Leave the car and get out of here!"
The rebel general said calmly: "Don't blame me for not warning you. The goods in this car are all brought to General Niu Tingjie who is stationed in Tongguan. General Niu is the adopted son of Emperor Shengwu, and he has two subordinates in Tongguan.
Thousands of people. You can hide under his nose near Huayin and Tongguan because he is too lazy to swat flies. If you commit suicide and rob his property to let him know, he will overturn the entire Qinling and Huashan Mountains.
I want to catch the defeated generals like you. So I advise you to be self-aware and never be greedy for things you shouldn’t be greedy for.”
Feng Changqing suddenly sneered: "If we kill all of you, won't no one know who robbed this property?"
The general's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly withdrew to the team and shouted: "Protect the convoy."
"Do it!"
All the Tang troops drew their bows and crossbows, and the rebels also fired sporadic horn bows, but in the end they were alone and quickly retreated to the rear, only to realize that the way back had been cut off.
He waved his sword from his horse and shouted: "Brothers, twenty or thirty miles ahead is Tongguan, rush out to Tongguan to bring in reinforcements!"
He rushed out first and fought with the Tang army blocking the road. Feng Changqing personally commanded the soldiers to fight. After a short fierce battle, only three or four people escaped from the Tang army's interception and ran towards Tongguan.
Li Chongbao wanted to rush over to kill the enemy several times, but Feng Changqing stopped him and said: "There will still be places for you to fight in the future, so don't rush to take action."
After the enemy troops fled, he couldn't stand it anymore. He took off his horned bow from his horse, stretched the bow and drew the arrows fully, and shot the last person who had fled far away in the back of the heart. The rebels staggered on the horse, and finally
Fall down.
Feng Changqing clapped his hands and praised: "Young master is good at archery. He will definitely be a master in mounted archery in the future."
It was rare for Li Chongbao to be praised. He held his bow behind his back and said, "Uncle Feng should now believe in my martial arts. Although my nephew dare not say that I can fight one against a hundred, I still have no problem killing the enemy in the army to protect myself."
Feng Changqing saw that he was feeling proud, so he had the idea of testing him: "A general should not only be brave and good at fighting, but also need to be resourceful. Let me ask you, after we robbed these treasures, should we
Where to transport it?”
"Uncle Feng, my nephew is bold in making suggestions. These properties are like fishhooks, hooking the mind of the Tongguan rebel general. Having them means that we have the initiative. We can fight him wherever we want."
"
Feng Changqing smiled and nodded: "A child can be taught."
…
In the meeting hall of the main tower on the east wall of Tongguan, guard Niu Tingjie sat on a beech bed covered with tiger skin. His eyes were as big as copper bells, and the black mustache on the corners of his lips was raised with anger. He pointed at the kneeling man.
The general on the ground angrily yelled: "I can even lose my goods! Are you a stupid pig and a waste! Don't think that since you are Sun Xiaozhe's people, I will show mercy. Pull the three of them out and chop them down!"
The three people hurriedly touched their heads to the ground and kowtowed for mercy: "General, have mercy on me, general, have mercy on me!"
Deputy General Niu Tingjie also advised: "General Niu, the three of them made an unintentional mistake. Since they are in humble positions, why not let them go back and tell Sun Xiaozhe that with General Sun's closeness to you, he will definitely prepare another one for you."
share of property.”
Niu Tingjie held his chest and felt a pain in his chest and said: "You still don't know this group of people. If they hadn't searched until there was nothing left, they wouldn't have thought of preparing money for me. My goods were lost in Tongguan, even if he returned them
If you are willing to prepare, the value of the money and goods is far less than the lost batch! They are all these three bastards! It’s okay not to kill them, but first hit them with a hundred military sticks!”
The general who was kneeling on the ground kowtowed three times, then raised his head and said: "General Niu, these goods can actually be recovered! The ones who robbed your goods were a group of Tongguan defeated troops, who were in Fengyiyuan.
In the past, they hid near Huashan Mountain and became bandits. I even wrote down their faces and offered to lead the way to find and recover the goods."
The executioner was about to drag them away for execution when Niu Tingjie suddenly raised his hand and said: "You just said they ambushed you on Fengyiyuan. This place is only twenty or thirty miles away from Tongguan. They are really flies under my nose.
Then I will lead the troops out! Let you identify the road, chase the people, and recover the property!"
The deputy general was suspicious and asked the general who was kneeling on the ground: "How many people do they have, how are their weapons and equipment, and how are their horses?"
"General Qi, it seems to be two thousand? Or more than three thousand? It seems to be well-armed, and there are more than 600 horses."
The deputy general turned to persuade Niu Tingjie again: "General Niu, I feel quite suspicious. How could the defeated troops at Tongguan gather so many people? With so many people, why didn't they go to the northwest and Lingwu to defect to the Tang army, but under the nose of the general?
Jie Dao? I don’t think the general needs to act rashly until he sends someone to investigate.”
"After the investigation, the day lilies are all cold! All my goods have been lost! Why are there so many suspicions? I will lead 8,000 people to go out and get the goods back, leaving you with 1,000 people to look after the house! That's it!"
