What Xu Yunyan did was like the straw that broke the camel's back.
After he said these words, the group of Japanese pirates in front of him, or the unidentified people in their team, immediately took action.
I saw these people pulling out a handful of weapons that were obviously similar to those of the Tang Army from under the goods, and slashed at the Tang Army who were guarding them.
While chopping, he shouted, "You treacherous officials and traitors have robbed our Sui Dynasty. You are still here making it difficult for me to wait. I will fight with you."
Sure enough they had a problem.
Xu Yunyan waved his hand, "Soldiers, deal with them all."
As Xu Yunyan finished speaking, Liu Xiaopeng clamped his war horse under his crotch, rushed forward and chopped off the head of the Japanese pirate in front of him with a single blow.
Seeing their leader's head being chopped off and a line of blood flying high into the sky, the other Japanese pirates were killed by the Tang soldiers who rushed forward three times in a row before they could react.
After these Japanese pirates were dealt with, the remnants of the previous dynasty who resisted and disguised themselves as caravans were also wiped out.
As for the eagle in the sky? It's just a barbecue with a meal.
Seeing them like this, Xu Yunyan complained endlessly.
"Why are we like robbers robbing homes?"
Looking at the corpses lying on the ground and the pile of goods, Xu Yunyan complained, and Liu Xiaopeng stepped forward.
"General, why should we be so worried about them? Since they are remnants of the previous dynasty, as long as their bodies are sent to a nearby county and let them identify them, someone will be able to identify them, right?
Even if no one knows him in the county town, there will always be people in the capital, right?
Otherwise, General, you will send them to the capital, where it will be easier to find out their identities. "
Just when Xu Yunyan was touching his chin and considering whether Liu Xiaopeng's words were feasible, he suddenly slapped his thigh.
"Then according to what you said, I will leave this matter to you personally. Take them back to the capital and report to the court. We encountered such a group of remnants of the previous dynasty and killed them all in one fell swoop."
After Xu Yunyan's words, Liu Xiaopeng nodded in agreement. After waving his hands, the most elite soldiers under Liu Xiaopeng stepped forward to clean up the scene.
Xu Yunyan thought for a while, then got off his horse, took out a pen and paper from somewhere and started writing to Li Yuan.
After Xu Yun finished writing the memorial in his hand, sweating profusely, Liu Xiaopeng and others had already tidied up the scene and arrived in front of Xu Yunyan.
"General, we have finished cleaning up the scene. What do you want to do next?"
Liu Xiaopeng watched Xu Yunyan here waiting for instructions, but Xu Yunyan did not keep him waiting for long and handed the memorial in his hand to Liu Xiaopeng.
"This memorial is of great importance. It must be handed over to His Majesty no matter what. And this time, I have to trouble you to lead the team to escort these corpses. I am not worried about the others."
As if to convince the other people watching, and not to make them feel cold, Xu Yunyan continued to speak here.
"It's not that I don't trust you. You are my most capable assistants. It's just that Liu Xiaopeng is a school captain and has a higher official position than you. It's easier to travel."
When Xu Yunyan said this, the people present couldn't help but nod.
Xu Yunyan thought clearly. It would be strange if they casually led people to the capital, packed so many corpses, and were not wiped out as rebels halfway.
After Xu Yunyan arranged it, Liu Xiaopeng said to Xu Yunyan, "General, I will take my leave now."
Xu Yunyan clasped her fists at Liu Xiaopeng and said, "Take care along the way."
The tone was like saying goodbye, but the people present couldn't help but feel their hearts move.
"General, we are on a mission, not going to the dragon's pond or tiger's den. Why should we do this?"
After Liu Xiaopeng complained like this, and when Xu Yunyan was about to kick him with a smile, he quickly took his soldiers and a few empty carriages and rushed towards the capital carrying the target persons.
Xu Yunyan gathered his team and was about to go out again, but Zhang Hong and Zhang Xin came over.
"General, how do you deal with this material?"
"There's no need to talk about supplies. Since we encounter them, we'll requisition them. It just so happens that we don't have enough supplies. Let's see what's in them."
After saying this, Xu Yunyan began to indulge his soldiers and began to check what kind of items were underneath.
After Xu Yunyan's busy work, he finally finished counting all the items by category.
There are no materials that can prove their identities. There are also some weapons and armors hidden in the food, which further illustrates their identities. The rest are dried meat that is often available in the North and tea that is difficult to obtain and other food supplies. There are still more food supplies. Furs used to build simple tents.
Seeing this, Xu Yunyan smiled. It happened that we were sleeping in the open air, and they sent us food supplies and camp tents, which saved us a lot of trouble.
When Xu Yunyan said this, the generals couldn't help laughing and talking about how wise and powerful they were to follow Xu Yunyan.
After leading the team to set off again, not long after they walked, a pair of Tang Army patrol soldiers appeared in front of them. Seeing this inexplicable appearance of a group of Tang Army soldiers, more than a dozen of these patrolling Tang Army soldiers came closer.
"I wonder which general you are commanding? What are you doing here?"
Looking at this cavalry team of nearly a thousand, these little pawns asked very cautiously, while Xu Yunyan looked at the carriage they pointed at and asked
"Does the carriage behind this look familiar to you?"
This made these soldiers confused. They came to ask what these people did? And you ask us if these carriages look familiar, can these carriages reveal your identity?
While these soldiers were scratching their heads here, Monk Zhang Er, Xu Yunyan sighed.
"It seems that you don't recognize these carriages. In other words, you haven't encountered the caravan from the Turks."
When Xu Yunyan said this, the soldiers hurriedly reacted, "so that the general will know."
Although they didn't know what Xu Yunyan did, they still had at least some sharp eyesight. Xu Yunyan was wearing armor that only generals could wear. They were still able to recognize him. After seeing Xu Yunyan's identity clearly, they talked to him.
"General, we have seen this caravan. It is said to be the foreign envoys of the former dynasty who used this road to return to their homeland."
When Tang Jun was talking, Xu Yunyan sneered, "Don't be fooled by this appearance. They are all remnants of the previous dynasty."
Xu Yunyan's words shocked the patrolling cavalry.
"What? A remnant of the previous dynasty, but there have been several teams like them."
"How many?"
Xu Yunyan was startled at this moment. "Could they have some conspiracy?"
Xu Yunyan hurriedly stepped forward, "Tell me quickly, when did the other people go there, which way did they go? What was their direction? Do you know where their destination is?"
Xu Yunyan asked so many questions in a series that the soldiers didn't know how to answer them for a moment.
Seeing these soldiers standing here in a daze, they did not answer their questions immediately. Instead, they were struggling there as if they had thought of something. Look at me and look at you.
"Why are you so careless? Let me tell you, I am the garrison guard of Xuanwu Gate, General Bo Zhongwu of Yun County. I came to the North to exchange garrison Xu Yunyan with General Li Jing and Li on His Majesty's order."
When Xu Yunyan said this, the soldiers at the northern border hurriedly dismounted from their horses and paid homage.
"I have met Uncle Yunxian. Uncle Yunxian's reputation is very resounding in the local area. He defeated the two Khans of Tujue Tulijieli and made our Tang army famous."
Under their constant emotion, the little leader of the soldiers finally reacted and said to Xu Yunyan.
"Today this is the last envoy team that we encountered. There were two more that entered the mainland the day before yesterday. But I don't know their itinerary. They have always said that they are looking for a dock that can go to sea and want to return to their homeland. "
Hearing this, Xu Yunyan's head started to spin rapidly. What kind of changes happened during the Xuanwumen incident?
There is no record in the history books, but Xu Yunyan couldn't figure it out after thinking about it, but he noticed something keenly.
During the Xuanwu Gate Incident, many of the Sixteenth Guards generals of the Tang Dynasty were not in Chang'an City. After the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Jieli made a comeback, and there were not many defenders in Chang'an City to resist. Could it be that there was anything connected with these caravans heading south? The connection?
