Chapter 415 No one in all fields

Wang Ping'an ordered people to take a bag of golden beans to the little eunuch, which almost fainted. Before coming, the people in the palace told the little eunuch that as long as they could establish a relationship with the king and prince, the benefits would be inevitable. However, this time the decree was to reprimand the king and prince, so no one was willing to come, so Shi Zhongchen ordered him.

This little eunuch probably wouldn't get any reward, but he didn't expect that the prince was so generous. Even if the imperial edict received was not a praise, he still rewarded a large sum of money. He was extremely satisfied.

As soon as he was happy, he started to talk too much. The little eunuch flattered him and said, "Mr. Wang, I'm going to tell you that the court has been quarreling all these days, just because of the Turkic herdsmen!"

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "If I ask you, you will definitely keep three points. I won't ask you and hold you in my heart, so that you will tell the truth more!" He sighed: "The thoughts of the adults in the court cannot be understood by me, a little servant. I just need to do it for the emperor for a long time, but I don't know how to do it well. I have to think about it carefully and I won't send you there!" As he said that, he was about to send the young eunuch away.

The little eunuch hurriedly held him and said, "Don't you think about it. If you think about it yourself, that's so brain-making. I can't be stingy! He said, "Your Majesty, if you want to do a good job, you have to go to Liangzhou quickly. I heard that there was a fight in that place!"

After a pause, he pretended to be mysterious and said, "Thinking about it, it's snowing in our Central Plains, how cold is outside the pass? I heard that the Turkic herders were all hungry and didn't take any advantage in Huaiyuan, so I ran to Liangzhou. Liangzhou is so big that there is a lot of food, so they went there to grab it. When Lord Xu arrived in Huaiyuan, the Turks had already left, so he followed him to Liangzhou. As a result, there was no news about him for many days!"

Wang Ping'an was stunned and said, "There is no news? Why do you say this? Didn't he send memorials to Chang'an? Otherwise, why would I come out?"

The little eunuch said excitedly, "How long ago has it been? You have been out of Kyoto for a while. Lord Xu has not delivered memorials to Beijing for one day. I guess he was captured by the Turks halfway!"

Almost didn't make a sound, Wang Ping'an said: "Is he captured by the Turks? Why did the Turks catch him? Ah, could it be that he looks fat, so..."

The little eunuch shivered and said, "If a person is hungry, he will not be able to do anything. I heard that in the former Sui Dynasty, some rioters treated the common people as two-legged sheep and cooked them and ate meat!"

Wang Ping'an frowned. If the Turks outside the pass eat Xu Jingzong, it would be thankful, but if they eat the common people... the Tang army must wipe out these Turkic refugees and cannot keep them in the world!

The little eunuch said, "So, if you want to do a good job for the emperor, you have to go to Liangzhou faster. The soldiers in Liangzhou are very powerful. I heard that there are two thousand iron-armored soldiers. If you want to kill the hungry Turks, that's a piece of cake. According to time, you should defeat the Turks. If you arrive at this time, your name will definitely be on the memorial for the victory!"

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "As you say, I will arrive in Liangzhou within five days. Not only will I not be a chore, but I will go to pick fruits!"

The little eunuch nodded seriously and said, "Who said it is not? The court attaches great importance to military achievements. If you have made military achievements, your title will probably be promoted to the top, and you may become a prince!"

Wang Ping'an licked his lips and thought to himself: "The Tang army at this time is extremely powerful. Maybe it can really kill the Turks away. I will pick the fruits, it should be a big problem!"

He sent the little eunuch away, called Di Renjie, Su Dingfang and Ouyang Li, and told the story.

Su Dingfang first said: "It is estimated that the Turks are hungry herdsmen. They will not attack a certain city, but will only plunder the surrounding villages and towns. The Liangzhou soldiers have always been known for their ferociousness. It should not be a problem to defeat the Turks."

Ouyang Li also said: "It should be easy to pick this fruit. As long as you fight the Turks away, even if it is a military merit, the court said that they will fight the Turks to the west. It is a military merit. When the master got there, he could pick up this military merit!"

Wang Ping'an said, "What should I do if the garrison in Liangzhou refuses to give me the credit?"

Ouyang Li smiled and said, "Why are you doing the military achievements? It's not just for promotion and wealth. It's the court's business. But if we make money, let's give him some money first. Are you afraid that he will not share the merits?"

Wang Ping'an laughed twice, turned to ask Di Renjie, and said, "Brother, you have a good brain, what do you think about this?"

Di Renjie thought for a while and said, "Who wrote this imperial edict?"

Wang Ping'an took out the imperial edict to show him and said, "After looking at these words, I knew that it was written by Chu Suiliang. The articles he wrote were all literary and slandering. He also gave several examples of bastards in history to describe me!"

Di Renjie looked at the imperial edict and smiled and said, "That's right. Since it was drafted by Lord Chu and he did not let the person who announced the edict pass the message, it proves that Lord Chu did not regard this as a dangerous thing at all. We will be able to rush to Liangzhou, and the fruit will be picked!"

Wang Ping'an clapped his hands and said, "Okay, that's it!" He said to Ouyang Li, "You lead the convoy and rush back, and I'll take a team of soldiers to leave first."

Ouyang Li glanced at Su Dingfang and nodded in agreement.

Wang Ping'an said to Su Dingfang again: "Brother Su, please go with me. Let's hurry to Liangzhou and pick the fruits."

Su Dingfang was overjoyed and quickly agreed. He looked back at Ouyang Li and smiled slightly.

These two people are very harmonious on the surface, but in fact they are competing! Su Dingfang is a general of the Central Army, with a higher rank than Ouyang Li. He followed Wang Ping'an, so the army was naturally led by him. He has been suppressed for too long and needs military power. He needs to prove that his sword is not old!

Ouyang Li was Wang Ping'an's confidant, and he pulled a group of soldiers up by himself, so he naturally reluctantly handed over them, so he told his subordinates not to listen to Su Dingfang's order.

Su Dingfang had no choice. Although he was anxious, as a general, he was naturally broad-minded and would not care about the army of hundreds of people with Ouyang Li. However, he was unhappy after all, and he didn't usually talk to the soldiers. Anyway, these soldiers would not listen to him. Why bother to do this? There is no need. He watched from behind and did not step forward.

Now that Wang Ping'an has left Ouyang Li, Su Dingfang is happy to take him. As long as Wang Ping'an takes him, his life will be not far away!

Su Dingfang glanced at Ouyang Li and thought to himself: "In your life, you can only be a bodyguard and lead a regiment of soldiers. No matter how many... I think you don't have that ability!"

Wang Ping'an didn't think as much as they were. He was going to pick fruits. He wanted speed and safety. However, it was not too good to use fruits with Ouyang. Ouyang Li didn't say anything about martial arts, but in terms of military skills, he could not compare with Su Dingfang. He had to pick fruits and shock the Liangzhou guard. If he wanted to distinguish the other person's military achievements, he had to tell the other party that he had a general under his command, which was no worse than the guard. He could only use Su Dingfang to shock, so he took Su Dingfang away!

Several people discussed the specific details again and started preparing that night. The next morning, Wang Ping'an took the 100 most powerful soldiers in the army, each with three horses, and galloped towards Liangzhou.

Even if he was busy, Wang Ping'an still brought Jiang Lao Nian'er and asked him to build muskets for himself. It was very hard to travel in the snow, but Wang Ping'an made a promise that Jiang Lao Nian'er would work hard these days, traveling during the day and building muskets for him at night. As long as the new muskets were made, he would reward Jiang Lao Nian'er with 5,000 jin of money and give him 500 acres of fertile land to ensure that he has no worries about food and clothing for his whole life!

Jiang Lao Nian'er left without saying a word with Wang Ping'an. Thank you for your hard work, but he knows it's hard work, but for the past few days, he will enjoy the happiness of Tiedan'er in the future, and even Tiedan'er's son and grandson will enjoy the happiness of it. No matter how hard he works, he will accept it!

During the Tang Dynasty, Longzhou was one thousand and hundreds of miles away from Liangzhou. It was definitely not close, but it was not far away for the cavalry. If you run desperately, just like a messenger delivering an emergency military newspaper, you can get there in three days, which is only four days, and more than five days is enough!

But then again, among the 100 people, except Su Dingfang, no one was a serious soldier. Even a flying thief like Hou Ling did not ride on a horse and flipped his butt. Su Dingfang was not young anymore and had not fought so hard for many years, so he couldn't run!

There is only one person in the team who can persevere, that is Yelu Jungeer. He grew up in Khitan and is more familiar with riding horses than walking, so he can persevere naturally!

No one can run away without his life. Not to mention the 800-mile rush, even the 600-mile rush cannot be achieved, and the 400-mile rush... I did it the first day, but I will never be able to do it again!

In the end, it was impossible to arrive in Liangzhou within five days as required by the imperial edict. It took eight days to get closer to the boundary of Liangzhou!

Wang Ping'an found a reason for himself. There was too much snow on the ground and he failed to arrive on time. It was not a human fault, but a heavenly fault. Besides, no one supervised him. Even if it was too late, no one would sue him for a crime!

It is gratifying that Jiang Lao Nian'er worked hard to make a second musket. The parts and other parts were backed up when making the first one, and the iron pipe was only made and assembled. But even so, when traveling during the day and making muskets at night, it has to be said that Jiang Lao Nian's craftsmanship is indeed much better than his peers!

Wang Ping'an put away the musket, carried it with him, rested in the snow for a night. The next day, he had some food and immediately ran towards Liangzhou.

Liangzhou in the Tang Dynasty belonged to the front line of the Great Wall. Before the Tang Empire had turmoil, it was a real border city. Its area under its jurisdiction was extremely large and extremely prosperous. There were 100,000 families in Liangzhou, and the Hu people played the pipa halfway. In terms of prosperity alone, it was almost comparable to the big cities in the Central Plains!

Liangzhou is also known as Xiliang. Dong Zhuo, Ma Teng, Ma Chao and Han Sui started their careers here during the Three Kingdoms period! Xiliang's big horses are rampant all over the world, which are all famous in history. Due to the strength of Liangzhou's soldiers, the Turks generally avoided here when they headed south, and unless they were special circumstances, they would not go to Liangzhou.

But this time it was different. As soon as Wang Ping'an and his friends entered the Liangzhou territory, they immediately felt something was wrong. They were still fifty miles away from Liangzhou City, and they could not see the people. The villages and towns along the way were all empty, and even the houses could not be seen by wild animals!

Wang Ping'an stopped Baimalong and said in surprise: "No, what about the people here? Could it be that they were looted by the Turks?"

Su Dingfang was also surprised. He said, "This place is nearly fifty miles away from Wuwei. How could it be snatched by the Turks? This is impossible. Could it be that the Turks are so powerful that even the Liangzhou soldiers can't stop them?"

Di Renjiele resided in a war horse and ran into a small village on the side of the road. After a while, he came out and shouted: "There is no one in the village. I saw a few houses, but there was no money. Either it was robbed or the people moved into the city on their own initiative!"

Su Dingfang got off his horse and ran into the village. After a while, he ran out. He shouted: "There is no sign of being burned, but on the road in the village, the people in the village will not pull the feces on the road, so they must be Turkic!"

Wang Ping'an said a word, and he knew in his heart that it must be that the people learned that the Turks invaded the border, so they went to the city to take refuge in advance. When the Turks arrived here, they saw that there was nothing to rob, so they left.

Su Dingfang came to the front and said, "I just checked the feces..."

Wang Ping'an grinned, could you still see something from the feces?

Su Dingfang said: "It seems that it is diarrhea, and I eat tree bark, fur and other things!"

Everyone, including Wang Ping'an, heard this and came out in unison, which means that the food was out of stock, and they must be Turkic!

Wang Ping'an frowned and said, "Will you get diarrhea after eating these things? You must be sick, but it's a stomach problem!" As soon as he mentioned that he was sick, he wanted to dismount and check it out in person.

Di Renjie hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Brother, you don't want to look at that. Let's go forward and see what will happen in front!"

Wang Ping'an immediately straightened his body and smiled and said, "Yes, yes, let's go forward!"

Everyone set off on the road again. Judging from the situation in the small village just now, it was estimated that the Liangzhou soldiers had not driven away the Turks for the time being, so everyone was alert. More than a dozen soldiers with better horse skills were scattered from a distance, and each of them had weapons in their hands and walked slowly.

After walking a few miles, I saw a town ahead, which looked like a hundred families. Wang Ping'an immediately rode outside the town. With a wave of his hand, a small group of soldiers entered the town carefully!

After a while, someone in the town shouted, "Turkish people, Turkic people!" Then, there was a scream inside!

The soldiers outside the town were shocked. They would not have encountered Turks here. They were all new recruits who had never been on the battlefield and had not even trained. They could only be said to be ordinary strong men in armor! Hearing the Turks in it, the soldiers suddenly became in chaos and moved closer to Wang Ping'an together!

Su Dingfang was anxious and shouted, "Scatter, disperse, damn, you are cavalry, not infantry, why are you doing together? Do you want to be a target for arrows? Stand up a shield, stand up a shield!"

When the soldiers heard his scolding, they reacted and quickly dispersed, raised their shields and looked nervously into the town!
Chapter completed!
