In mid-April of the first year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty, the Tang army camped eight miles away from Han'er'er.
A group of cavalry patrols from the Tang Army were patrolling boredly about ten miles northwest of the camp. This had been going on for a long time, but except for the goshawks that flew by from time to time, they could not even see a single wolf. Less than that, so the original serious attitude has long since faded away. Although it is a daily patrol, when they are on patrol, they just go out to enjoy the autumn breeze and stroll around. There is no enemy situation anyway. The same is true for other patrols every day. Everyone is used to it. .
Although they were all elites selected from the frontier armies of the Tang Dynasty, if there were no battles, they would not be much different from the imperial armies in the Central Plains. Not to mention that after the Battle of Sanggan River, the troops needed to be repaired, and the Post-Turkic Khanate had only a few soldiers, so it was not worthy of attention at all, so Wang Zhongsi gave these 200,000 elites a long break. During the holidays, except for some diligent people who go to the training ground to train every day, most people are working hard every day, playing in the autumn wind, doing nothing.
When a group of more than ten cavalry approached the Tang Army's camp several miles away, the patrol team discovered them.
The leading gang leader was immediately startled and rushed over with his men.
"Stop! Who is that?!" He pointed the spear in his hand at the first few riders in the group, and said majesticly. At the same time, he hoped that if these people were friendly forces, they would never find out what they had just done. Not doing your duty.
However, when the leader on the opposite side lifted his cloak and revealed a very ordinary-looking face, the team leader was immediately frightened out of his wits, because this person was none other than his immediate boss, Shuofang. Lieutenant Ye Qingcheng of the military scout camp. Although there are several scout battalions in the Tang Army's camp eight miles away from Han'er'er, because the commander-in-chief Wang Zhongsi is the military governor of Shuofang, the responsibilities of the Shuofang Army's scout battalions are also higher than those of the other scout battalions. It is heavier. The most obvious thing is that their patrol time is much longer than that of other scout battalions. Although the Tang troops in the Shuofang Army Scout Battalion are quite critical of this, there is nothing they can do about it. Precisely because of the heavy tasks and the lack of decent threats, except for a few people on patrol duty on weekdays, most of the brothers in the scout battalion are relatively lazy.
But he didn't expect that when he was on duty, he would meet Ye Qingcheng back.
Several of his subordinates were also frightened, and they quickly got off their horses together with the gang leader. They quickly saluted Ye Qingcheng and said, "I've seen the captain before!"
However, Ye Qingcheng just gave them a cold look and said nothing. If he hadn't gone to pull out the Ximi tooth tent yet, he would have reprimanded them bitterly, and then asked them to make meritorious deeds. But now, he is about to leave Tang Jun, and even leave this mortal world, and these worldly affairs no longer allow him to worry about it.
After Ye Qingcheng gave these guys a cold look, he continued to ride past them without saying anything. These guys turned their attention to Huan Chenyu who was beside Ye Qingcheng. In the Shuofang Army scout camp, If Ye Qingcheng doesn't care about things, then the second in command is Huan Chenyu, not the brigade commanders on the surface. Especially Huan Chenyu's selfless face, which makes many people very afraid of him. But Huan Chenyu also walked past them with a straight face like Ye Qingcheng, so their eyes for help could only turn to Bai Quan, which made the guy couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Of course, he could see that these brothers were actually all They are used to being lazy. This is not their own problem, but the problem of the entire Tang Army. I am afraid it is not just them, but other patrol teams must be the same as them. In this case, it is pointless to say so.
"Get up, why are you standing here? Go and patrol your posts properly." Bai Quan said, and then followed the two of them and passed these patrol posts.
Immediately afterwards, the delegation continued to move towards the Tang Army camp. When the Tang soldiers among them passed by these guys, they greeted each other a little and then hurriedly rode up to follow them. He killed Ye Qingcheng and several others.
"Commander, does the captain look like something is wrong?" said a soldier from the scout battalion.
"Yes, if it were a former captain, it would not be like this." Another soldier also added.
"Perhaps it's due to something unexpected happening during this mission to Mobei. Haven't you noticed? There seem to be three more people in the mission team coming back this time, but they all have unfamiliar faces. Especially the guy at the end, He looks like a pampered young master or something, and his hands are tied tightly with a rope, so I'm afraid he's an important person."
Although the brothers in the scout camp are a little lazy these days, their quality in all aspects has not declined. As the most elite scouts, they have almost all developed a pair of photographic eyes and amazing memory. When the mission set out, apart from the few envoys to Huihe, there were only eleven Tang soldiers from the Shuofang Army's scout camp including Emperor Xuanzong's envoys Ni Fuguo, Ye Qingcheng, etc. But now there are several more when they come back. There were unfamiliar faces, one of them looked like a prisoner being escorted, something was wrong no matter how you thought about it, but they were caught by Ye Qing for being lazy, and they didn't dare to say anything to Ye Qingcheng and the other three, so they had no choice but to Let them pass.
But it’s not their fault. After all, it’s not war time. If it were during the Sanggan River battle, even if Ye Qingcheng begged them to go there, they would have a straight face and insist on letting Ye Qingcheng and his party undergo inspection. But now is not war time, so naturally we have relaxed a lot, and there is no need to even check. Not to mention there are so many more people, even if hundreds of people follow the mission team and sneak into the Tang army's camp, it will be in vain. It is also an established fact that there is no force in the entire Mobei that can compete with the Tang army.
I hope they will not report to Wang Shuai when they return. These people thought that although the laziness of the patrols was an established fact, most of the patrols were actually passing the time in boredom, and kept sneaking in with elites. Troops can penetrate directly into the Tang Army's camp at any time. But this is a tacit understanding reached by everyone in private, and it cannot be brought to the table. If Wang Shuai knows about this situation, I am afraid that not all 200,000 Tang Army elites will start training every day from tomorrow. It would be really exhausting. Goose and the others knew that if Wang Shuai really knew about this, he would definitely do this.
