1002. Xue Rengui is here

After Wang Hao returned to the tent, he sat on the ground, his face changed, for a long time, he got up and took out a piece of yellow rough paper, wrote a paragraph on the charcoal strip and put it in the letter shell, while it was not too late, he went to the back and found the miscellaneous soldiers transporting grain and grass, "Brother, take the trouble to bring this letter to my mother, there is an address on it, please you." As he spoke, he took out several large sums of money from his pocket and handed them to the miscellaneous soldier.

These heavy soldiers who transport grain and grass often come and go to the front line and the rear to transport grain and grass, so there is a business of bringing letters, of course, there is also some remuneration, the baggage soldiers weighed the amount of money in their hands, and saw that Wang Hao was not an ordinary soldier, and said with a smile: "Brother, rest assured that the letter will be delivered, I will reply early tomorrow morning, and the letter will be in your wife's hand in two days."

"Thank you brother for that." Wang Hao hugged his fists and thanked him, but after turning to leave, he had a bitter face, family letter? Hehe, his wife was controlled by that damn person, and this so-called family letter was just given to them.

Early the next morning, Li Pojun led 4,000 cavalry to bid farewell to Li Jing's army and went to Chongchuan Valley, while Li Jing's army was still waiting for Tang Jian to go to the Turks to confuse Lili.

Lingzhou, Dengkou, this is a city close to the Turks, but also close to the desert, the Tang Dynasty is the king of the city, the head of the Datong Road march Li Daozong led 20,000 Datong Daoist troops have been stationed here for more than half a month, has not been able to find the fighter, and did not wait for the order of the Chinese army, had to wait, this day, with the arrival of a messenger who is dusty, the small earth city of Dengkou moved, the sound of people and horses, and the army of Datongdao who has not moved for many days is ready to leave.

At the gate of Dengkou City, Li Daozong sat on a war horse, wearing a black armor that set off a bit of heroism in elegance, looking at the desert with yellow sand, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he remembered what the letter said, and he couldn't help but hesitate a little in his heart: Chongchuan Valley, will Lili come here?

Although there was some hesitation, the commander's military order could not be violated, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also went to the Chongchuan Valley alone, where was the Tieshan Turkic camp, if Lili found out that the prince was here, the prince would be in danger, and Li Daozong would have to go.

Just as he was about to wave his hand and set off, a scout suddenly came to report, "Report... Steward, a team of 200 men is coming from the rear, all young and strong, and armed."

Li Daozong's expression was solemn when he heard this, and Zhang Baoxiang, the deputy head manager on the side, had a rough face and a generous garlic nose, and he exclaimed when he heard the words: "Rear? Behind is our Datang land, who dares to be so arrogant? ”

Li Daozong raised his eyebrows and said straightly: "Quickly go and find out whether it is an enemy or a friend, if it is an enemy, encircle and annihilate it." If you are a friend, please inquire about the meaning". After that, it is a wave of the big hand, "the whole army is set off".

Li Daozong, a team of only 200 people, still didn't pay attention to it, it was important to go to Chongchuan Valley quickly, and the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not be neglected.

However, after a while, the scout came back with a strange face, "Chief Administrator, those 200 people are all ordinary people of the Tang Dynasty, and the leader claims to be from Jiangzhou, and he has come to join the army and crusade against the Turks."

Zhang Baoxiang was born recklessly, and he has never been in shape, and he laughed again when he heard the words, "Join the army? What day is this, the day of recruitment has long passed, which army did he vote for?"

Li Daozong frowned when he heard this, and shouted slightly: "General Zhang, the prince once said: The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband. On the occasion of the national war, it is really admirable and admirable for our Datang to have such righteous men come from thousands of miles to help, and General Zhang should not be humiliated."

After that, Li Daozong thought for a moment and said: "There are enough soldiers in our army, but there is no need for soldiers. It's just that these righteous men have the heart to serve the country with their fists, so they will be ordered to take half a month's ration for 300 people and give them half a month's ration, so that they can be persuaded to return to their hometowns."

The scouts were ordered to go, and the army continued to set off.

After a while, the scout returned, scratching his head and being quite embarrassed, and said bluntly: "Chief, the group of strong men is unwilling to leave, and the leader said that he is willing to go north with the army to kill the captives, and only need two meals a day."

At this moment, Li Daozong was surprised, and had to face it squarely, such righteous people are rare, and they can't be said to be a brilliant person, so he immediately waved his hand and said: "The army continues to move forward, please come over."

The scout went down, and after a while, a bustling sound came, and Li Daozong stared at it, and he was shocked.

I saw about 200 people, ragged, covered with sludge, none of them were clean, and their hair was scattered, like a group of fleeing people, but what surprised Li Daozong was not this, and the momentum, Li Daozong was a soldier, and he could see the extraordinaryness of these 200 people at a glance, although the 200 people were ragged, the equipment was tattered, and there was no complete armor, but they walked slowly, but the formation was not dispersed, and the momentum was not low, especially the first three, who looked vaguely small but sat upright on a horse, holding a long soldier, quite imposing, Especially...... The man in the white robe holding the halberd in the middle, Li Daozong clenched the hilt of the sword.

Li Daozong immediately shouted: "Stop, just step forward for the first three people." He has never been a careless person, these more than 200 people of unknown origin and extraordinary momentum, it is impossible for Li Daozong to let them get close to him.

"Jiangzhou Longmen Xue Li has seen Manager Li."

"Jiangzhou Longmen Zhou Qing has seen Manager Li".

"Jiangzhou Longmen Xue Xiantu has seen Manager Li".

When the three of them approached, they turned over and dismounted, and bowed with a rather excited expression.

"The three righteous men are polite, I heard that the three righteous men are unwilling to return to their hometowns, why is this?" Li Daozong saw the three of them saluting, and he also asked kindly.

Li Daozong is the king of the county and the chief general of the first army, so it is already polite to behave like this.

This ragged, beggar-like team, it was Xue Rengui and the three of them who led two hundred strong soldiers to come, and Xue Rengui and the three of them went all the way north, but they couldn't find where the army was, and when they arrived at Mayi, Li Jing's army had already gone deep into the desert. I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recovered Dingxiang County, and when they arrived in Dingxiang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also entered the desert, and the military aircraft was a major event, and they couldn't inquire about the whereabouts, and they learned that the army of Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng County, was stationed in Lingzhou Dengkou, and they hurried all the way to Dengkou, just in time for the army to pull out, Xue Rengui shouted lucky, in this case, Li Daozong gave them food to return to their hometown, how could Xue Rengui be willing.

Seeing that Li Daozong deserved to be called a virtuous king, he did not despise them, but treated them with courtesy, Xue Rengui shook his spirit, raised his confidence and said directly: "I want to teach Mr. Li to know that the three of my brothers have learned bows and horses since childhood, know a little about military strategies, and volunteer to serve the country loyally." The Tang Dynasty's expedition to the north, the three of us do not want to continue to be mediocre, only willing to kill the captives to serve the country, die without regrets, so not far away, trekking through mountains and rivers, come to join the army, willing to be the head of the account, kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, Wanwang is compassionate, accept us and others." （）
