Han counter current

"Guan Ping, it's up to you, a thousand miles to the east, there is the nearest reinforcements to us, find them, and then tell the leader about our situation.

I, Wang Shuang, and all the brothers will stick to it until the reinforcements arrive.Well, the time is almost up, Wang Shuang, you can escort Guan Ping to leave, remember, safety comes first. "

After a month of planning, Cao Zhen, Guan Ping and others finally decided to send people to the east to find reinforcements. Although the hope was slim, they had to try.

Among the crowd, Wang Shuang's martial arts skills are the highest, followed by Guan Ping's. But if you want to fight on horseback and at the same time have to be flexible and smart, Guan Ping is definitely the one with the highest comprehensive quality among the crowd.

Cao Zhen had to stay and preside over the affairs of Shule City. Wang Shuang was too big to easily expose his target. Besides, this guy was needed in the city to find food. Therefore, the task of finding reinforcements fell on Guan Ping.

Two days later, in the mountain forest more than 100 miles to the east, Wang Shuang panted heavily and brought a war horse to Guan Ping. The two men next to him also jumped off the horse at this time, and then handed over the rope to Guan Ping. .

"Let's go, Guan Ping, the enemy army is coming soon, if you don't go, it will be too late."

"Wang Shuang, there are only three of you, don't fight recklessly, I only need one horse, you all need to withdraw quickly."

"It's useless, the hope of the brothers in the city is on you, get out of here. This chasing army can't stop me, remember, if there is such a day, you can't find Lao Tzu when you return to Shule City, then Let’s go to the grave of my brother He Wu in the south of the city to have a look, Lao Tzu’s ashes must be buried there..."

In desperation, Guan Ping had no choice but to ride away with tears in his eyes, while Wang Shuang, with the remaining two brothers, began to set traps, preparing to entangle with the pursuers.

"Today the king's body returns to his homeland, and his soul is also the same. Guan Ping, two years ago you helped me kill the Huns' Captain Zuo and avenged my brother He Wu. Today, I will return this kindness to you." ,,,,,,"

Chapter 867 A Thousand Miles Rescue 2

Hundreds of miles to the west of Dunhuang is an uninhabited area. In this era, there are still forests and grasslands here, and there are many streams. The natural environment is still very good.

Although it is desolate, some small tribes often come here to graze. However, this place is too remote, and there are many horse bandits on the grassland, so few people settle here.

But now, the situation is a bit different. The Western Expeditionary Army sent by the Eastern Empire has already stepped into the territory of the Western Regions, and the vanguard troops have even penetrated into the Shanshan Kingdom.

In order to coordinate military affairs, Zhang Liao temporarily ordered the main force to move forward slowly, and at the same time ordered people to build fortifications here. Judging from this posture, Zhang Liao intends to build a number of fortifications on the Silk Road. control strength.

"Your Majesty wants us to digest this place thoroughly. Unlike the previous campaign, we not only need to defeat the enemy, but also lay a good foundation here.

At that time, there will be people in the country migrating here to Ansheng. After more than ten years, the people of our country Zhao will multiply and live here. After a hundred years, this place will completely become our country.

Your Majesty's plot is a hegemony for generations to come. As subjects, we shall be smashed to pieces, carry out His Majesty's orders, and never back down. You are the pillars of the army. How to proceed in this battle, I must have my own calculations. "

Standing on the hillside, Zhang Liao looked into the distance, with the generals behind him. Hearing Zhang Liao's emotion, everyone felt that the burden on them was heavier. They thought that they were just witnesses to history, but they didn't want to. History is made here.

"Nephew, I will leave the task of building the city here to you. A hundred miles west along the Silk Road is within the scope of your task. I will lead the main force to set off tomorrow. When will you complete the task? What? It's time to fight again."

"No, this subordinate takes orders."

Zhang Liao looked back at Chen Dao, this general who was from the same family as His Majesty is also full of fighting spirit at the moment, as expected, the yellow sand wears golden armor in all battles, and being a marquis and worshiping a prime minister is the pursuit of a man.

"Hehe, that boy Yan Cheng has arrived in Shanshan with five thousand pioneers, and now we should lay the foundation for us. If we go late, this guy should complain again, it's time to set off... ,"

In the territory of Shanshan, the military control system is now implemented. Among the countries in the Western Regions, Shanshan is the one that is closer to Dunhuang, so it is also a small country in the Western Regions that has benefited the most from the Silk Road.

As early as the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, this place was influenced by the oriental culture, coupled with several conquests by the Han army, it also made Shan Shanguo a complete supporter of the Eastern Empire. The army of Shanshan arrived, and the king of Shanshan could only continue to implement the support policy.

"Accept Shanshan's army, use the war to kidnap their interests into our chariots, and lay the foundation for the arrival of the army. We are now in a foreign race. As long as we can complete the plan, our descendants will come here a hundred years later. Even if you go back to your hometown."

"Follow the general's orders,,,,,,"

Yan Cheng was explaining the next plan to his subordinates. Shanshan Kingdom had been conquered in a disguised form, and the next step was to digest it thoroughly. The fastest way was to let them feel that they could gain a lot of benefits after being with the Eastern Empire.

Regardless of whether it is a dignitary or a commoner, as long as they give enough benefits, they have no reason to reject the army and caravan from the east. Although Yan Cheng's move is mediocre, it is very practical.

"Where did that kid Zhang Quan go? There is no news until now. I asked him to go to the west to find out the news. This kid actually led two hundred cavalry and ran two hundred miles away to make trouble. He must be taught a lesson when he turns back." .”

When he received the emergency report the day before yesterday, Yan Cheng knew that Zhang Quan had led two hundred soldiers to Qiemo country to catch his tongue. According to this guy, he found that there seemed to be something strange in Qiemo country, so he had to investigate clearly.

But at this moment, Zhang Quan, who was cursed by Yan Cheng, was sitting on his horse with his eyes closed and recuperating. It had been six days since he had been in the Mo Kingdom, and he had heard a lot of news that he needed to inquire about.

"General Qi, they are indeed coming this way. The group of people are all dressed up as Huns cavalry, there are no less than a hundred people, and they seem to be chasing and killing a person."

"More than a hundred Xiongnu cavalry chasing and killing one person? Huh, interesting. I am going to ambush according to the original plan. I want to see what happens. The power of the remnants of the Xiongnu has indeed penetrated into the Western Regions. This time, I can't stand up." Head work."

After an incense stick of time, Zhang Quan took out his own bow and watched the figure gradually appearing in the distance. He drew out two arrows, and then aimed at the Huns cavalry who were running wildly in front, and then the two arrows flew out, The two Hun cavalry who were riding their horses a hundred steps away fell off their horses at the sound,,,,,,

A few days later, when Yan Cheng summoned the generals to discuss the military situation, some soldiers ran in and reported that General Zhang Quan had returned to the camp with his troops and the spoils he had captured.

As a general of the vanguard team, Yan Cheng was very happy to lead his subordinates to win a small battle before the main force arrived. Zhang Quan, this guy, has won the true biography of Zhang Xiu.

"General, there is good news. I brought back a man, you must know him."

Zhang Quan ran directly into the big tent, and there were soldiers behind him carrying a stretcher. Yan Cheng and others stepped forward to take a look, and they really felt that the person on the stretcher looked familiar.

"Who is this person?"

"General, take a closer look, he has an unusual relationship with you..."

Two days later, on the wilderness, a team of about 300 cavalrymen was galloping towards the west. The leader of the army was Zhang Quan, a young general under Yan Cheng's command. Guan Ping was rescued.

"General, we are now entering the territory of the Qiemo Kingdom. There may be shadows of the Xiongnu tribe nearby, so we must be careful."

"Understood, Guan Ping, you are injured, so be careful. We still have to rely on you to lead the way to Shule City. Where is Xiahouba? Hurry up and thirty brothers go to the front to find out the situation. There must be no mistakes."

"No, this subordinate takes orders."

"Cao Zhang, lead 30 people to the northwest to investigate. It's best to catch some tongues for me."

"clear,,,,,,"

After Chen Feng took over the world, he didn't make things difficult for the members of the Cao family and the Xiahou family. After all, the remnant power of the Cao family should not be underestimated. Furthermore, he also has a wife named Cao, so he definitely wouldn't do too much.

In recent years, young children of the Cao family and Xiahou's family have accepted the reality and then served in the army. Cao Zhang, Cao Xiu, and Xiahouba are representatives of them. Now, the task of Cao Zhang and Xiahouba is to assist Zhang Quan to go to Shu Lecheng rescued the brothers in the army who were left behind two years ago.

What's more, Cao Zhang and Xia Houba have already learned from Guan Ping that Cao Zhen is still standing firm in Shule City.

Chapter 868 Eastern Empire 1

In the middle of the night, Zhang Quan and his party entered the forest to camp, and at the same time set up sentries two miles away.Although their group was elite, there were only more than [-] people in total. If they were discovered by the main force of the Huns, they would be in danger of being annihilated at any time.

"Hey, the surname is Guan, can you drink?"

Cao Zhang and Xia Houba each carried a roast leg of lamb and a jug of wine, and walked to Guan Ping who was dazed by the fire.They used to belong to different forces, and they were also hostile to each other. They also fought on the battlefield, but they didn't want to, but now they became comrades-in-arms.

"Good man, how can you not drink alcohol? Guan has been trapped in Shule for more than two years, and a bird has already faded out of his mouth. I'm afraid you don't have enough wine."

Guan Ping was not polite, he just grabbed the flagon and started to drink. To be honest, in the past two years in Shule City, let alone alcohol, he was even forced to drink urine and dirty rainwater for a period of time.

What's more, they had to use cloth strips to squeeze water from the horse's dung to drink. When the horse couldn't pull out any dung, Guan Ping and the others stared at the horse's butt every day. No one else could understand the feeling.

"Brother Guan, I heard that during the period when you were trapped in the Western Regions, you had no water or food. I think you are still strong and strong, and you don't look like a hungry person. Did you start a small stove in Shule City? Tell my brother, what good food do you eat?"

Xia Houba is also a humorous person. He naturally knew that the two years when Guan Ping and his party were trapped in Shule City were difficult, but he was a little curious. How did they survive?
