After Xu Yunyan dug out all the armor, Feng Wu, who had been counting beside him, happily came to Xu Yunyan.
"The general is getting rich, and we are really getting rich."
Seeing the two of them looking happy, he looked at them curiously.
"We've made a fortune. How have we made a fortune? Didn't we just dig out some armor of unknown quality? That's how we made a fortune?"
Feng Wu looked at Xu Yunyan unconcerned and explained loudly.
A look that is different, really different.
"General, we have unearthed five thousand sets of usable armors. Aren't we already rich?"
"real?"
"Really! How dare we lie to the general? We personally checked the armor."
This was something Xu Yunyan didn't expect.
He did not expect that Liu Heitai would bury five thousand sets of armor here.
Seeing Xu Yunyan's surprised look in front of him, Feng Wu chuckled.
"The general didn't expect that we would really get rich this time. If those old brothers you arranged to go out really come back with troops, they will be able to form a team armed to the teeth in an instant."
"Yeah?"
Xu Yunyan scratched his head.
"But what if we are armed? We don't have weapons? There are weapons!"
Feng Wu looked at Xu Yunyan and said immediately as soon as he said he had no weapons.
"Yes! We have it!"
Xu Yunyan looked at him curiously. Feng Wusheng explained.
"Yes, we have weapons. Our Anbei Army is very rich now, and everyone has spare weapons.
Not to mention a set of spears, swords, shields, and bows and arrows per person, we also carry thousands of spears, thousands of crossbows and swords.
Just in case there is an accident, we have no weapons to use. "
Xu Yunyan was happy now, patting their shoulders and talking.
"Okay, very good. I didn't expect that you guys did something good this time."
After Feng Wu just finished speaking, Duan Kun said something next to him.
"There's one more thing the general may have forgotten."
"What?"
"If it is really these veterans who lead the soldiers and horses to gather, they will all bring their own armor and weapons. If that is the case, there will be no problems with our weapons and personnel."
Just the two of us said this and Xu Yunyan looked at them.
"Then hurry up and pack up the excavated armor now, so as not to cause any problems when using it."
"Don't worry, General. Every time we dig out a set of armor, we always check it. There is nothing wrong with it."
Xu Yunyan felt satisfied with the two people's assurances. After explaining to everyone, he led some soldiers wearing Tang Jin armor to the direction of his original village.
He wanted to do what he said, to cook a meal for the people in the village who were nominally his hometown, but in fact he didn't know many people, and have a meal with them.
But just when Xu Yunyan was about to leave, Feng Wu and Duan Kun started talking.
"General, you should be in full splendor when you return to your hometown as a rich man, but you seem a bit sneaky with your little family spirit.
What's more, we are about to travel far away. Even if our whereabouts are really exposed in this village, as long as we are not discovered by outsiders, can you tell your fellow villagers that they will still go out and shout casually?
It’s okay even if someone believes what they say! Do you think anyone would believe it? "
When Xu Yunyan heard the reminder from the two mythical beast generals beside him, he couldn't help but slap his thigh.
"Yes! This is as it should be. I want you brothers to have a good rest. You have followed me around the clock and night every day without getting a good rest, so I just took this opportunity to take a rest.
This is not my intention to show off, but for your brothers’ consideration. "
Xu Yunyan originally agreed with their idea, but immediately seemed to have thought of something. He didn't mean to show off in front of them.
The two of them also nodded, as if they understood each other, and followed Xu Yunyan leading five thousand soldiers and horses to the outside of the woods.
In Xu Yunyan's original Zhaojia Village, Gou Sheng and others were a little frightened when they saw a woman covered in blood who returned holding a package.
Isn't this woman the one who was bullied by Zhang Xuanyang? The package in her arms was dripping with blood on the way there, and a person's head could be clearly seen on the package.
That was Zhang Xuanyang's head.
After the woman came back and passed by everyone, everyone felt a cold wind blowing by them. They didn't know whether they were curious or regretful about what was going on.
Although the expressions were different, I heard what the woman muttered next.
"Husband, I have avenged you. You can leave in peace."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel even more ashamed that they had such a heroic fellow villager.
Of course, this was the mysterious Xu Yunyan story told by Gou Sheng, which made them ashamed.
They have villagers like this, but they can't do good things.
But just as they were exclaiming here, the sound of rustling outside the village caught their attention.
These people hurriedly looked out from the streets of the village, and saw a group of Tang troops armed to the teeth and waving flags, heading towards their village.
Seeing this scene, everyone's teeth chattered.
"What's going on? Why did Tang Jun come suddenly? What's going on?"
Some people are timid and have no idea what is going on. They are worried that the arrival of the Tang army will bring destruction to them.
But Gou Sheng, who was standing at the head of the village, suddenly became happy.
"I saw it, I saw it."
Seeing the dog in front of him barking happily, the person in front of him was a little curious.
"You saw it. What did you see? What made you so elated?"
Gou Sheng said proudly and triumphantly.
"I saw one of them wearing a general's armor. He was the child of Mr. Xu's family!"
"What!"
At this moment, the villagers suddenly realized that they were the children of Xu Langzhong's family. No wonder he said he wanted to treat them to a meal. Now they had forgotten about the fact that Zhang Xuanyang was killed and could be exchanged for money to treat them to a meal.
But after seeing Tang Jun, they had a little hope again.
Although Tang Jun's food may not be very good, he is a person who has no worries about food and clothing after all, isn't he?
Just as they were thinking this, Xu Yunyan and the others had already arrived at the village and began to greet them politely before cooking and setting up camp to rest.
When Xu Yunyan and the others were recuperating in Xu Yunyan's original hometown in Xiangzhou in the north, they had just passed Luoyang at the Houjunji headquarters in the south. Of course, they had to eat Wang Huan.
Seeing Tongguan ahead, Hou Junji couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, I will be able to return to Chang'an City in a few days according to the schedule. I should be able to return to Chang'an City with His Highness the Crown Prince's Tiance Mansion, right?"
Yes, Hou Junji had already received what Li Chengqian sent, and by coincidence, Hou Junji did not encounter any danger when he moved forward. He just moved forward step by step, all the way to the front of Tongguan.
There is a steep checkpoint in Tongguan, with the Tang-character war flag fluttering in the wind and making a fierce sound.
Hou Junji saw that Tongguan had completely relaxed his vigilance, waved his hand and shouted loudly.
"All the soldiers followed me into Tongguan, rested for a day and then galloped to Chang'an."
But when Hou Junji came to Tongguan, he was about to open and close the gate, but he didn't know why Tongguan was not opened in broad daylight. As for the passing merchants, they were not allowed to enter and chose other routes.
Although he didn't know what was going on, Hou Junji was not worried at all. Could it be that the Tang army would stop him from crossing Tongguan Road to Chang'an?
But just as Hou Junji was thinking this, suddenly there were not many defenders standing on the top of the city in Tongguan. After a drum sounded, the walls were filled with figures.
When Hou Junji saw such a scene, his heart couldn't help but thump, as if he thought of something, he hurriedly stopped his army.
Hou Junji looked at the defenders on the top of the city and asked.
"I am Hou Junji, and I was ordered to return to Chang'an. Why did you close the door and prevent me from waiting to pass Tongguan and enter Chang'an?"
Hou Junji shouted loudly below Tongguan. The defenders at Tongguan looked at Hou Junji below and whispered, but before they could say much, they heard an unknown general from Tongguan shouting there.
"The bold Hou Jun gathered, and no one was allowed to cross Tongguan without underground instructions."
When Hou Junji heard what the guard said, he was stunned for a moment and then laughed.
"What's wrong with me? I just received the order from His Majesty and the double order from His Highness the Crown Prince to lead the team back to Chang'an and wait for His Highness the Crown Prince's dispatch."
Hou Junji took out the token that Li Shimin originally gave him, but he couldn't see it clearly even from a distance.
The guard on the top of the city even said this after seeing Hou Junji take out the token.
"Don't I know you? You are the father-in-law of His Majesty the Crown Prince. Now His Majesty is in bad health. What do you want to do? Bring the army back to Chang'an. If you want to do something evil, don't even think about it! All officers and men obey orders! There is no decree from the imperial court. , Hou Jun gathered an army and a pawn to cross Tongguan."
"Be bold!"
After Hou Jun gathered the guards at the top of the city and gave orders, he rode directly below the city on his horse, raised his whip, and cursed the guards at the top of the city for their boldness.
As for the guard on the city wall, he ignored Hou Junji's scolding and raised his hand to Hou Junji.
"General Hou must not be angry. It's not because the general is acting recklessly, but because there is no order from His Majesty at this critical moment. I really don't dare to let General Hou pass Tongguan. When His Majesty's order comes, I will kill you and behead you." Convenience."
The guard at the top of the city took all the responsibility on himself, saying that Hou Junji had no excuse to trouble him. Finally, Hou Junji sighed.
"Okay, very good, you won't let me pass through Tongguan, right?"
Hou Junji did not lose his mind. When the guard felt that Hou Jun sent troops to attack the city, he confirmed that Hou Junji had evil intentions. Hou Junji directly turned around the dock and ordered the soldiers to change their route and use other routes to pass the customs. Chang'an City.
Hou Junji was worthy of being a well-known general with great military exploits. Although Tongguan was a great pass in the eyes of many people, Hou Junji still knew the route around Tongguan.
But just when Hou Junji turned to another route, the guard at the top of Tongguan City laughed.
Looking at Hou Junji going away, his face was so ferocious.
Soon, a homing pigeon flew out from Tongguan, flapped its wings and flew rapidly towards the direction of Hou Junji. It quickly disappeared in the high mountains and dense forests.
In the East Palace, Li Chengqian saw the news delivered by the Jin Yiwei. The generals of the Tiance Guards began to gather and returned. This one brought three to five hundred, and that one brought six or seven hundred, which made Li Chengqian very happy.
However, suddenly a Jin Yiwei rushed into the East Palace and knelt down in front of Li Chengqian.
"Report, Your Highness, there may be something strange in the direction of Tongguan."
"What?"
Li Chengqian was very surprised. Tongguan was the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty and an important pass in the capital city of Chang'an.
There is a change in Tongguan, what is going on?
Immediately after seeing the letter in Jin Yiwei's hand, Jin Yiwei's expression changed drastically.
"Is this something someone did intentionally, or is it just that the Tongguan general is so capable of defeating the enemy?"
After Li Chengqian Nannan muttered to himself, he looked at the Jin Yiwei in front of him and gave instructions.
"Go quickly and send this news to General Hou. Ask General Hou to pay attention to safety after taking a detour, and don't fall into any villain's scheme."
"I will obey the orders of His Highness the Crown Prince!"
After Jin Yiwei finished speaking, he immediately went to deliver the news.
