Chapter 577: A New Partner on the Westbound Road
Next to the piles of bonfires, the soldiers lay down on the ground wrapped in blankets and ran for half the night, not to mention people, even livestock, and at this time they could no longer stand it. I was worried that the enemy would come back to his senses and pursue him, but at this time it was already forty or fifty miles away from the bitter people, and under the dark winter night, it was expected that the enemy had neither the courage nor the ability to catch up, and after some scouts were released, everyone collapsed at once.
When a person takes a breath, he can do a lot of unbelievable things, but as soon as this momentum collapses, the whole person immediately collapses.
At this time, if a group of cavalry catches up, it is estimated that it will not take many people to kill this army that escaped, and at this time, even if there is thunder, it is difficult to wake up the extremely tired soldiers from their slumber.
The soldiers slept soundly, but the generals still had more hearts to fuck, and when they sat in this position, they had more and greater responsibilities. Even if he is also tired to death, he still has to act as a night patrol guard while thinking about what to do next.
There was one man who was in good spirits.
This man is Yellowbeard.
When everyone was sitting around the fire roasting steamed buns and filling their stomachs with water, he kept looking at Peng Shuangmu faintly, even when he was tearing the steamed buns and feeding them to his mouth, his eyes never left Peng Shuangmu.
The yellow beard at this moment, a belly of resentment.
I didn't talk about the previous things, but the last battle of the breakthrough really scared him.
It was not that he was frightened by the Tubo soldiers, but by his allies at that moment, the Tang army.
What kind of army is this!
What kind of formation is this!
Yellowbeard has lived most of his life, robbed half of his life, and boasted that he was also not afraid of death and had seen the world, but at that moment, he was really a little out of his soul.
In fact, in the final battle, he really didn't exert much strength, but just rushed forward with the large army in a daze. His appearance at that time was not much better than that of the lost Tibetan soldiers.
It wasn't until he set up camp and settled down that he finally returned to his soul.
Peng Shuangmu was full of discomfort when he looked at him, and he naturally knew why Yellowbeard looked at him like this. But he was also wronged, who the hell knew that this caravan was so strong, and there were such powerful weapons hidden in the ranks. Yellowbeard suffered a big loss, why not himself?
Now he is also an outcast without a home. At this time, Muyu City probably howled in pain under the obscenity of the Tubo people. They suffered a big loss in the Bitter Castle, and they couldn't catch up with their own group of people, so they would definitely vent their anger in Muyu City. The thought of the small family still in Muyu City, his heart felt a pang.
What the fuck is going on!
Seeing that Yellowbeard was still staring at him, he finally couldn't help it, threw the bun in his hand to the ground heavily, and said angrily: "Yellowbeard, what are you looking at me?" ”
Yellowbeard's neck stalked: "What about you?" ”
In the past, they were partners, he was not afraid of Peng Shuangmu, and now it seems that it will not be this Peng Shuangmu who is in charge, so he is naturally not afraid. Besides, he thought to himself that these people would not do anything to themselves, they were not familiar with the people in this realm, but they were local Han, the head of the Tang Army, and they would not fail to think of this.
Seeing Yellowbeard reply, Peng Shuangmu was furious: "You take another look and try!" ”
"Try it!" Yellowbeard simply put his big head in front of Peng Shuangmu and looked at him with round eyes.
The angry Peng Shuangmu raised his fist and wanted to beat people, but his fist was raised to a high place, but he hung down weakly: "Yellow beard, don't think that Lao Tzu is cheating on you, who the fuck knows that this is the situation, your subordinates are gone, Lao Tzu still has more than a thousand subordinates in Muyu City, and there are all the old and young, they are now afraid that they are gone." You're a fucking bachelor, but I'm not! ”
After saying these words, Peng Shuangmu lowered his head and picked up the steamed bun he threw away from the sand, but he didn't care that it was covered with sand, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it. While chewing, tears flowed involuntarily.
Seeing this big man crying in front of him, the yellow beard was also wilted, and he smashed his fist on the ground.
The two men looked terrified, and Yuan Chang couldn't bear it. Even if these two guys were still playing the rotten idea of killing people and selling goods a day ago. But after a whole day of killing enemies side by side, at this moment, it is much more pleasing to the eye.
Man! Sometimes friendship is as simple and direct as it gets.
Drank together.
Walk through the window together.
Carried the gun together.
Having prostitutes together.
"General Peng, what are you going to do next?" Yuan Chang coughed lightly and asked.
Peng Shuangmu swallowed the bun in his mouth and asked, "Now it seems that Li Yuan's warning to us at the beginning is true, Ambassador Yuan, you say, can Tiande stop Tubo?" ”
Yuan Chang shook his head: "If Peng Fang listened to us at the beginning, he would have stationed heavy troops on the border and built a defense system with Muyu City as the core, and Tubo would still be able to resist a large-scale attack, and at that time, we would definitely send troops to support you, and it would not be difficult to keep the enemy outside the country, and even defeat them." But now, there's no play. ”
Peng Shuangmu lowered his head helplessly.
"Right now, the main force of your Tiande army is confronting us, in fact, what I'm most worried about is Peng Fang's desperate transfer of troops to turn back, then it's really over. It is inevitable that the Tibetan army will sweep Tiande, if he joins forces with us at this time, preserves his strength, and tries to fight back, it is the best, if he is still worried, he does not want to join forces with us but wants to repel the Tibetan alone, only afraid of defeat. Moreover, it will also add a lot of trouble to us. ”
Peng Shuangmu smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that the former possibility is the majority." ”
"That's the end of it." Yuan Chang spread his hands: "General Peng, what are your plans?" ”
"I'll go to the Western Regions with you!" Peng Shuangmu pondered for a moment, "I have no way to go, my family is gone, and the way back has been cut off, as you said earlier, go to the Western Regions, or there is still a way to live." Li Xiang, I won't leave you alone, will I? ”
Yuan Chang laughed: "How is it possible? The rampant Tibetan is only for a while, and when we are ready, we will send them to the western sky, and after these battles, you can also see the strength of our army, right? ”
Peng Shuangmu nodded. "This fierce thunder is indeed powerful."
"You're just scratching the surface." Yuan Chang sneered.
"I did it with you." Peng Shuangmu said: "I hope that one day, I can still come back and cut off the head of Delhi Chinan, Xenobud as a night pot." ”
"Of course we welcome it." Yuan Chang said with a smile: "But General Peng, there is one thing I have to make clear to you, now we have the troops here, most of your people, but the leader is me." If you don't admit this, then we have nothing to say, so we can only go our separate ways, and we will go half of the road. ”
"Of course I listen to you." Peng Shuangmu nodded and said: "The Yuan family is famous in Zhenzhou, I have long heard of the history of Yuan Zhou and Yuan's assassination, and I will rely on Li Xiang's army to avenge me in the future, so you can rest assured." ”
"What's good, in the future, you will be tied with Li Hai and Tang Ji, and we will also reorganize your troops, you should know that our army has a set of involuntary drills, right?"
"I've heard of it."
"So your soldiers are going to be reorganized, walk all the way, practice and fight, how about it?"
"I'm okay with that!" Peng Shuangmu nodded.
Yuan Chang happily raised his helmet, which was filled with clear water, "Welcome to our team, I welcome you on behalf of Li Xiang." ”
To tell the truth, the 1,000 cavalry and 2,000 foot soldiers brought by Peng Shuangmu are still more than 2,000 people left, which is more than twice the size of Yuan Chang's headquarters. With the addition of this new force, the next road will inevitably be much easier.
Li Hai and Tang Ji on the side also lifted their helmets, and the four helmets slammed into each other with a bang.
The yellow beard on the side was a little dumbfounded, and he was stunned for a long time before he said sneeringly: "I, can I join?" I only have seventy or eighty brothers. ”
Yuan Chang turned around: "You don't do robbery anymore?" ”
"I can't do it!" Yellowbeard shook his head and said: "In the past, within a radius of hundreds of miles, I was the strongest, but I also made more enemies because of this, and now that I am in trouble, they will definitely fall into the well, you, don't leave me, Tang Ji, Captain Tang, for the sake of me saving you, don't dump me." ”
Tang Ji smiled: "Didn't you say that we evened out?" ”
Yellowbeard's eyebrows and eyes were wrinkled together: "If you dump me, we really have no way to live, this time I face the Tubo people again, and when I turn back, they will also retaliate against me." I am familiar with the land, I can show you the way, you have to go in the direction of the Western Regions, and I also have acquaintances in that realm! I am a Tuyuhun person, and our Tuyuhun and Tubo people are also feuding, and there are many Tuyuhun people in the Western Regions. Besides, don't we have no food and grass supplies now? I know several thieves, we can rob them! Otherwise, how do we go! ”
Yuan Chang and the others glanced at each other, they all nodded, and the four helmets stretched out in front of Yellowbeard together: "Yellowbeard, welcome to join!" ”
Yellowbeard was overjoyed, quickly lifted his helmet, slammed it, brought the helmet to his mouth, drank a few big sips, and finally put his mind at ease.
At dawn, the scouts returned.
After Xenobud received a major blow, he did not chase after him. This made this army finally relieved, and after some rectification, it continued to embark on the journey to the west.
Three days later, the scouts sent by Peng Shuangmu also caught up with the team, and as he expected, almost all of the entire Muyu City was slaughtered. Peng Shuangmu burst into tears.
