At this time, one of his fire chiefs whispered in his ear: "Brigade Commander, could they be the team that Wang Shuai specially ordered?"
Hearing this, the brigade commander couldn't help but change his face. In the past two days, Wang Zhongsi, the commander-in-chief of the Tang Army, specifically gave instructions to the patrol post responsible for the defense of the northern part of the camp, saying that a group of scouts might return in the near future, and that they must be there when the time comes. Let them into the camp.
Although he didn't say it clearly, someone soon connected this scout team with the team in the recent rumors. It was said that two or three days ago, a team of scarred troops came from the Xiqi Allied Forces Camp on the other side. , most of them had burns. Not long after they entered the Xi Qi Alliance Camp, the Khitan members of the Xi Qi Alliance Army evacuated the camp one after another and re-established camps several miles away from the Xi clan. For Everyone was puzzled by the split of the Xi Qi coalition.
It wasn't until the spy lurking on the opposite side sent back the information that everyone knew that the largest granary behind the Khitan had been burned down, and the target was probably the Xi tribe. As soon as this news came out, the senior generals within the Tang army were in an uproar, because no matter how much they said Xi It is impossible for any clan to do such a self-defeating thing. Moreover, according to the spy report, Li Yanchong, the chief of the Xi tribe, indeed denied the incident, but a sense of distrust still arose between the two tribes, so there was a scene of living in separate camps.
Later, there were rumors that it was done by a scout team within the Tang army, which made people even more uproar, because the intelligence returned showed that there were at least tens of thousands of troops left behind in the Khitan rear, and the garrison in the granary There were also three thousand people, and the guards were second to none among the Khitans, but they succeeded. Some good people have analyzed that these people are most likely to be the fake Xi people who burned the granary. The purpose is to cause the Xi Qi coalition to split. However, the difference between the Han people and these nomadic people is really huge. What's more important is the language barrier. They are How did you get in, and how did you set the fire? These became a topic after dinner in the Tang Army camp. Some people said that Wang Shuai had received several strange secret reports in recent days. Such secret reports would appear in the shape of a goshawk and then transform into Wang Zhongsi himself in the hands of Wang Zhongsi. As a letter, only he knew the content of the secret report, so some people speculated whether the scout team would be the one who contacted him, and there should be strange people like Taoist priests or alchemists in that team, in which case they would Able to sneak into Khitan's granary.
Wang Zhongsi did not express any position on this matter, which only made this speculation more real. The popularity of this matter has not dropped yet.
After the brigade commander returned to reality from his memories, he looked at the people in front of him, and it was not difficult to find that in addition to the Dawan horse he was riding, the other horse they were holding was a prairie horse. From this point, This should be able to prove their identity. You know, with the current gathering of 200,000 cavalry, there is a serious shortage of horses, but there are no resources to equip any army with two horses. Needless to say, their grassland horses came from the Khitan taken from man's granary.
Now, everyone knew who Ye Qingcheng and the others were, so they didn't even have to check their badges.
The admiration for the hero made him and his subordinates couldn't help but respect the scout team, and they all performed a military salute, which made Ye Qingcheng's subordinates suddenly feel a little embarrassed. Although their trip was said to be a narrow escape, but In fact, they all live under the protection of Ye Qingcheng and the three of them. Without them, their scout team would have been completely wiped out like the fifth team when they went deep behind enemy lines, let alone bringing glory to the country. Burn the enemy's granary.
"Heroes, we are presumptuous. Wang Shuai is in the camp right now. Please come with me. He has been waiting for you for a long time."
After saying that, the man turned his horse's head and together with his brothers opened the way for Ye Qingcheng and others, they rushed into the Tang army's camp at lightning speed, leaving some idle Tang soldiers around to look at these busy cavalry in confusion.
After entering the camp, everyone turned over and dismounted. The brigade commander gave an order to his men, and immediately the men ran away quickly. Soon, more than a dozen Tang soldiers ran out. Look at their clothes. And the smell emanating from their bodies seemed to be those in charge of the horses. These people smiled and took their horses from Ye Qingcheng and others, and headed towards the racecourse. You know, in this Tang Army camp, there were more than ten people gathered. Ten thousand military horses, this has never happened before. Of course, the stable is not enough to accommodate so many horses, so Wang Zhongsi specially had a horse farm built, and thousands of Tang troops were responsible for logistics to take care of it. .
However, while they were taking away the horses of Ye Qingcheng and others, they were amazed. They had never seen the entire team equipped with Dawan horse scouts. These days, the Tang Army's camp sent out thousands of scouts every day. People, but no team has such good treatment, and they are actually two horses. They are good at taking care of horses. They can recognize these as prairie horses in the Xi Qi coalition at a glance. The identities of these scouts may not be simple. .
"Could it be that they are..." A Tang Jun who was leading a few horses suddenly remembered something and shouted.
"Shh, everyone can guess it. You are so slow to react. You are indeed stupid Zhang Er, hahaha."
"Hahaha." Everyone burst into laughter. They knew who these people were when they saw Ye Qingcheng and others at the first sight, but the slowness of their companion not only made them laugh.
However, this guy whom they nicknamed "Second Fool" not only did not jump up in anger like usual, but instead let out a long sigh and continued to lead the horse.
Everyone looks at me and I look at you, wondering what kind of medicine this guy is selling in his gourd.
"Hey, Zhang Shun, what's wrong with you?" A Tang Jun who was close to him temporarily changed the reins from his left hand to his right hand, and gently patted the guy on the head.
"Well, I was actually thinking, how great would it be if I was also in their team? They say why don't men take Wu Gou and capture the fifty states in Guanshan? It's also the Tang army. They go deep behind enemy lines and make great achievements, but I don't Hiding behind to raise horses, oh, God is so unfair." He shook his head.
Hearing what he said, the Tang troops holding the horses couldn't help but lower their heads, because this guy told them their pain points. Although being a logistics officer was very safe and they didn't have to fight on the front line, they also lost the opportunity for promotion. . In today's era when the Tang Dynasty favors martial arts, as long as they are a Tang Dynasty person, they dream of winning glory for the country and making contributions. Compared with those returning heroes, they wish they could crawl into the cracks in the ground.
Suddenly, everyone fell into an atmosphere of silence, and even some familiar Tang Jun who passed by did not respond to greetings.
