There are hunters in the mountains, who earn a small amount of money to support their families by hunting prey in the mountains and selling their meat and furs.
Pigeon, an uncommon bird in the forest.
After Orion looked at a pigeon flying overhead, he nocked an arrow without even thinking, and shot a sharp arrow.
In an instant, a dove fell from the sky.
"Tomorrow will be settled."
However, the hunter rushed over happily to see how much money the pigeon could get him in exchange for. When he was buying a few kilograms of rice, he suddenly found that although the pigeon had been shot by an arrow, it was still dragging its injured body forward. He moved slowly, as if he would never stop until he set his sights.
Seeing this, Orion suddenly felt a pain in his heart. As if he had done something wrong, he quickly ran to the side of the pigeon and broke the arrow on the pigeon.
He looked at the pigeon with a nostalgic look.
"Pigeon, pigeon, I don't want to make things difficult for you, but if I don't shoot you, how will I get my rations tomorrow?"
But as soon as the man finished speaking, he discovered that the pigeon in front of him had a small bamboo tube tied to its leg. There was a piece of paper inside, with a small head exposed on it.
This is a carrier pigeon for someone to deliver a message!
With this plan in mind, he hurriedly threw the carrier pigeon in his hand forward.
Watching the homing pigeon fluttering forward a few steps, perhaps feeling distressed, watching the homing pigeon stumble flying into the trees ahead, the Orion also took a few steps forward.
But after Orion had just taken a few steps, he heard voices coming from the front and hurriedly looked through the gaps in the woods.
Some Tang troops were lying in ambush in the valley.
Orion was startled.
"What's going on? Is there going to be another war?"
Although it was not very clear, this scene was simply not something he could participate in, and he quickly retreated back to his comfort zone.
It doesn’t matter whether the landslides or the floods are raging, as long as you are fine, that is the best outcome.
The Tang army ambushing in the mountains and forests did not care about these things. Even if they cared about these things, no one would care about that little pigeon and an ordinary hunter.
After the hunters retreated and the pigeons disappeared, the Tang army in the mountains and forests continued to wait for the prey that was about to enter their midst.
In Xiangzhou, Xu Yunyan rested for a night with his fellow villagers and then continued on his journey.
When I came to Xiangzhou, Yunzhou was not far away. I was worshiped by every household in Yunzhou.
Although Xu Yunyan didn't know much about this matter, since Li Shimin's arrangement allowed him to expand his staff and make things easier, why not go to Yunzhou for a visit?
There are weapons and armor, and as long as there are people, everything will be fine.
Zhuge Liang once wrote in "Shi Shi Biao" that Tao eats a pot of slurry to welcome the king's teacher.
Although Xu Yunyan was not ready to eat a pot of milk to welcome Master Wang now, when he came out of the village, the people who followed him to see him off also made Xu Yunyan very happy.
Look, this is a family that loves each other!
But if Xu Yunyan knew what they were thinking, and just hoped that Xu Yunyan could leave more food, I don't know what his face would be like.
After Xu Yunyan and the others were some distance away from the village, Xu Yunyan turned around and waved to them when he looked at the villagers still standing next to the village.
"Go back, folks. I will come back if I have the chance."
After getting this reply from Xu Yunyan, I don't know who shouted.
"Okay, then we will wait for you to come back and then eat and drink from you."
Xu Yunyan, who was originally happy, suddenly turned bitter.
"What's going on? You treat yourself like a fat sheep, and you still eat and drink yourself?"
As for the many Anbei soldiers who followed Xu Yunyan, they smiled politely.
These are serious relatives. This is the most familiar feeling. To be so shameless and say that I am eating and drinking from you is such a close relationship.
Although these newcomers in the village originally ridiculed him, Xu Yunyan also felt warm in his heart. He glanced at them again and murmured.
"You must live well and wait for me to come back before eating and drinking from me.
The current level of medical care and living conditions are like this. If you can wait until you are free, maybe when you are a gray-haired old man, you can still keep them here. Xu Yunyan, who I met today, is not worried or afraid that they will eat them. Self, drink yourself. "
After having the plan in mind, Xu Yunyan felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier.
In order for them to live as long as future generations, it will take a long time to work hard, but I can't just relax now.
After Xu Yunyan said this, he pinched the belly of Ma Wang Xiaohong's horse, and Ma Wang Xiaohong neighed and ran forward quickly, and behind him were many Tang Army cavalry who moved away neatly.
In Xiangzhou Zhechong Mansion, suddenly several soldiers rushed into Zhechong Mansion in a panic and shouted loudly.
"It's not good, it's not good."
When he shouted so loudly, the captain in Zhe Chong Mansion walked out of the room with a gloomy face.
"What are you doing? Are you yelling and screaming every day? Are there new thieves or enemies? How do you behave in such a yelling manner?"
Just when the captain of Zhechong Prefecture felt that he had made a mistake, he wanted to read more books to save others from saying that he was constantly adding more articles and more time to study, but the soldiers under his command would not let him take time to study, which made him a little annoyed.
But just as the captain of Xiangzhou Zhechong Prefecture finished speaking, the younger brothers in front of him started shouting.
"The general has cavalry, and thousands of cavalry appeared on the border of Xiangzhou."
"What? Thousands of cavalry appeared on the border of our Zhechong Mansion. How is this possible? Where did the cavalry come from? Did you see clearly?"
"You see clearly, they are the cavalry of our Tang Army, they are flying the flag of the Tang Army, and...and..."
After these people kept coming here, the captain of Xiangzhou Zhechong Mansion was extremely angry.
"And what? Tell me, you get stuck every day at critical moments. Do you think your guardian is living too easily and want to make me angry?"
Although the captain of Xiangzhou Zhechong Prefecture was a tall and rough man, he did have the style of Cheng Yaojin. After he shouted so anxiously, the soldier in front of him finally spoke fluently.
"They are using the banner of the Anbei Protectorate."
"What? Anbei Protectorate? What's going on? Even if their army is training, they won't come to our Xiangzhou. The grassland from Anbei Protectorate is hundreds of miles away."
The captain of Zhechong Mansion didn't know what was going on for a moment, but the soldiers next to him looked at him.
"Lord Captain."
The captain turned his head hurriedly, "What's the matter? Can't you finish the sentence at once? Do you have to whet my appetite and make me feel uneasy? Why are you so uneasy day by day?"
Although the captain of Xiangzhou Zhechong Prefecture couldn't stop complaining, the soldiers in front of him couldn't say anything. What if he was stimulated again?
Their captain wanted to be a scholar rather than a general every day.
"Yes, yes, little one, just tell me."
"Then hurry up!"
The captain of Zhechong Mansion was a little unhappy again, so the younger brother next to him hurriedly accompanied him.
"So that the captain knows that they seem to be leaving Xiangzhou for Yunzhou."
"Going to Yunzhou? Are you sure?"
The soldiers nodded, "OK, sure. Looking at the direction they were heading towards was Yunzhou, I saw that there were five thousand soldiers and horses in the Anbei Protectorate, and they were all cavalry."
At this moment, the captain of the Zhechong Mansion shuddered in his heart.
"My dear, what is the Anbei Protectorate doing?"
Although five thousand was not a large number compared to the army of the Tang Dynasty, the cavalry came and went without a trace. The ordinary Zhe Chong Mansion was no match for them.
The captain of Xiangzhou Zhechong Prefecture, who couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, could only think for a moment and then said to his people.
"Just pretend you didn't see them. As long as they don't cause trouble in our Xiangzhou, it's not appropriate for us to see them. What do you think?"
But just after the captain of Xiangzhe Zhongfu finished speaking, another soldier rushed in from outside the door.
"The captain is not well."
"what happened again?"
I was originally entangled here with the appearance of the Anbei Army cavalry on the border of Xiangzhou. Suddenly another soldier came and shouted that something was wrong. Could it be that the Anbei Army was going to do something that would make people tremble just thinking about it?
The captain was trembling in his heart, but his soldiers did not disappoint him, and a piece of shocking news was immediately revealed.
"Liu Heitai's general Zhang Xuanyang has been found, and Zhang Xuanyang's identity has been confirmed. He is Liu Heitai's brother-in-law."
"What?"
At this time, the captain of Xiangzhou Zhechong Prefecture was a little worried.
"What you are saying means that Liu Heitai's brother-in-law Zhang Xuanyang is in our Xiangzhou Zhechong Mansion?"
"almost."
The soldier didn't explain much.
"My dear, isn't this coming for Zhang Xuanyang? If they know that this Xuanyang is on my territory, I haven't solved it yet, and coupled with his special identity, this Northland There are still many of Liu Heitai's original men. Although they have surrendered, what if they are incited again?"
Just when the captain of Zhechong Prefecture was struggling here, thinking that this matter was troublesome and that he had gone too far, the soldier who came to report the news continued.
"It's the news from people in Zhaojia Village not far outside the city. They killed Zhang Xuanyang and brought Zhang Xuanyang here to see if they can exchange for some reward money."
"Well, this is a good thing!"
The captain originally thought that the matter was a bit uncontrollable, but when he heard what they said, he instantly became happy.
"Not bad, this is a good thing, there is nothing to worry about."
But just when the captain sighed that this was a good thing, the soldier suddenly said something because he probably didn't want to make him feel better.
"But the identity of the person who solved Zhang Xiangyang is unusual. He is said to be from the Anbei Protectorate."
In an instant, Zhang Xuanyang's identity and location flashed through the mind of the captain of Zhechong Prefecture.
The captain has liver pain now, and I feel that I am not suitable to be a general, but a scholar.
Look, if I were a literati, what would these things have to do with me?
But now that I am a military commander, I should think about how to solve this matter.
Zhang Xuanyang, Zhang Xuanyang, why did you appear on my territory?
It's okay for you to show up and let me solve it. But why did you let the people of Anbei Army solve you? Where did you put my face?
This is pressing my face to the ground and constantly rubbing it. I have to find a way. No matter what, I have to catch up with the Anbei Army. No matter what conditions are used, I can't let them say anything wrong about me.
With the plan in mind, the captain of Zhechong Mansion, who originally thought he would turn a blind eye to the Anbei Army's crossing, suddenly had the intention to do so as soon as he had it in his mind.
