Chapter 88
The next day, a dispatch order was sent out by the allied forces of the temple, and the disciples of Mochiyuan were sent to escort the allied forces to the Golden Tent Royal Court, and the affected herdsmen to spend the winter.
But Cheng Lixue didn't ask anyone to call back Taipingdao Chen Xuan who was still a guest in the Mochiyuan camp.
Although Chen Xuan is a true Taoist cultivator, he is still young, a gentle lady, and a gentleman is good at it, so he should be.
Another transfer order from Cheng Lixue was to transfer all the students in the academy to receive the second batch of food and salary. In this way, the eminent Buddhist monk had no reason to mess around.
The students of the academy didn't want to get involved in this matter, but they heard that they were the disciples of Mochiyuan of Dahe Country who had been friends with Tang Guosu, and they wanted to go together. After considering the profit and loss, the leader of the academy, Ning Que, went angrily.
In order to ensure that no trouble would occur in the White Tower, a team of temple cavalry guards followed far behind, ready to rush to rescue at any time.
Cheng Lixue now only hopes that the batch of food and salaries will be delivered to the affected herdsmen in the Golden Tent Royal Court as soon as possible.
The deserted people who have returned from the bitter cold land in the far north are the real trouble for the temple alliance.
Once Huang established a firm foothold on the grassland of the Golden Tent Royal Court, he wanted to drive him out.
I am afraid that only the High Priest of Judgment, or someone from the Taoist sect who travels all over the world, can come here in person. - Seven days later! Not yet!
On the vast wasteland, on the snowy scroll, there were dozens of carriages.
The carriage was full of rations and salaries sent to the Golden Tent King's Court, and the soldiers of Yan State who were driving the carriage had a weather-beaten expression, as helpless as they wanted.
The grain grown by the people of Yan State was given to the barbarians on the grasslands, which made them very incomprehensible.
Although Yan State was defeated by the iron cavalry of Tang State, Yandi is not without people who dare to fight. If they want to fight to the death with the prairie barbarians.
It should be that no one will retreat. This behavior is tantamount to staking the enemy! The captain of the Yan Army who came to guard the delivery of food and salaries to the Golden Tent Royal Court this time also seemed absent-minded.
There should have been [-] fine cavalry, but it was replaced by [-] old and weak. I really don't know if someone attacked the camp and whether these people could wear armor.
The boys and girls of Mochiyuan have been in the south for a long time. After breaking camp, looking at the scenery of the north, they were inevitably a little excited.
The winter snow on the road had not yet melted, and the golden crow hanging high in the sky brought some warmth to everyone.
The stack of fire talismans that Mo Shanshan had written in advance came in handy now. The waves of heat emitted by the fire talismans dispelled the severe cold in winter.
At this time, a Yan army scouting horses from a distance came galloping from behind the food transport team, and stopped in front of Chen Xuan.
The detective cavalry of the Yan Army reported back: "Mr. Chen, at the end of the rear column, there seem to be hundreds of bandits on horseback following them. The temple cavalry watched from a distance, but there was no movement."
They are the front team, more than ten miles away from the rear team, and the temple cavalry is located thirty miles away from the rear team.
The horse bandits happened to be in the middle of the rear team and the temple cavalry.
Chen Xuan also reined in the horse's head, and said calmly: "Explore again and report again, pass on my order, and the students of the academy can speed up as appropriate, and I will slow down the speed of the front team."
"Yes!" Yan Jun Tanqi shouted, turned his horse's head, and galloped wildly on the snow in the north again.
Another Tangqi sent an order, taking the lead car of the front team, and the driver drove slowly. The entire team transporting grain slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye, which was not much faster than the speed of a person's legs.
After the speed of the transport team slowed down, those old and weak cavalrymen of the Yan army also got off their horses and walked.
From the end of the team, Mo Shanshan rode his horse up to Chen Xuan, and said, "I pulled out the camp from the bank of the blue lake, and gathered the food and grass near the camp of the coalition army, and those horse thieves have been following behind for two days."
"The temple cavalry sent by the vice-president of Tianyuyuan did not see the slightest movement. I am afraid that when the horse bandits snatch the grain cart, those temple cavalry may stand by and watch."
Chen Xuan looked at Mo Shanshan who frowned slightly, and said with certainty: "Lord Mo Shan, it's not a possibility, but a certainty."
"Business and hustle and bustle are all for profit. If someone accepts a gift, there will be a gift. If the temple cavalry is delayed for a while, no one may pursue it."
"They even put the responsibility for the seizure of the grain truck on us. I am the grain escort officer, and the mountain owner is the grain protector. The Buddha Sect is a great virtuous person. Qu Ni Madi really lacks great virtuous qualities!"
And the horse thief snatched the grain truck, with the intention of Ning Que! The Thirteenth Mr. of the Academy, those people from the first year of Tang Tianqi mistakenly believed that he was the son of General Xuanwei. It should be said that it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go, and the evidence is conclusive.
Mo Shanshan asked concisely: "Then what should we do, get rid of those horse thieves?"
If the disciples of Mochiyuan really went into battle to fight the horse bandits, they would not have much advantage. Compared with the horse bandits, the Yan army's cavalry were still far behind.
She has never met the students of the academy, and she doesn't know how many people in the rear team can fight against the horse bandits.
Chen Xuan stopped at the side of the road and said calmly: "The herdsmen who were affected by the disaster in the Golden Tent Royal Court are still four or five days away from here. Word."
"This meager amount of food and grass is a life-saving thing. There are really simple horse bandits who dare to rob the food and grass to help the herdsmen."
Jinzhang herdsmen herd herds in their spare time, and in a year of famine or famine, they would go to the land of Yan State to thresh grain and grass.
In terms of bravery, a prairie barbarian is not inferior to a horse bandit. In this brutal wasteland, there are still some unspoken rules.
The horse bandits who simply rob business travelers and rob the disaster-stricken herdsmen of relief food and grass, do these horse bandits not want to be active in this wilderness in the future? Mo Shanshan, who followed Chen Xuan to a stop, frowned and said, "The prince of the Golden Tent? The cavalry of the Yan Kingdom?"
In some banned stories, the princes of the Golden Tent Royal Court can always create famine on the grassland.
So they went to the border towns of the bordering Central Plains countries to fight the grass valley. They were frequently targeted by Qu Ni for a long time before.
This group of horse bandits is not interested in food, but the disciples of Mochiyuan and Mr. Chen from Taiping Road.
Chen Xuan looked at the carriages carrying grain and grass passing by, he shook his head and said: "Longqing is a very proud person, Qu Ni's hometown is too far away from the wasteland, so I just bribed him, the temple's Cavalry commander."
"Is there anyone else in this world who commands these cavalrymen who can scare Yan Qi like this?"
Hearing the words, Mo Shanshan's face suddenly changed, and after a long time, he said: "Tang Qi!"
Chen Xuan nodded slightly and said, "That's right, it's Tang Qi."
Mo Shanshan then asked: "Why did Tang Qi want to rob and kill the grain transport team?"
The Dahe Kingdom and the Tang Kingdom have been friends for generations. Hearing this news suddenly caused countless doubts in Mo Shanshan's heart.
Chen Xuan looked at Mo Shanshan who was full of doubts and said: "Wearing the clothes of a horse bandit, outsiders will naturally not know that he is Tang Qi."
"The reason may be difficult to describe, but as a grain officer, I assume everything is safe and sound!"
