Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1165 Zhang Shigui

The sky is slightly bright.

Xu Dalang, a young man in the caravan, woke up early, took the feed, put it in a cloth bag and put it on the camel's head to feed, and then checked the goods.

After all this work was done, it was just dawn, and Grandpa just woke up.

At this time, the people in the caravan were almost ready to set off. They ate some pancakes with the leftover mutton soup from yesterday, and they all bid farewell to Dui Xiao in the Bachang Castle.

"Thank you Team Xiao for seeing you off all the way, and letting me wait here to camp last night, and have a good night's sleep."

Team Xiao is crossing his hands, "Patrolling the Silk Road and protecting the caravans is also our duty. You all have a smooth journey. There are still thousands of miles to go to Kangju, but as long as you don't deviate from the main road, there will be my Daqin patrolling cavalry."

Continue on the road.

Without the red flag and the team of Qin Jun's Qingqi, everyone's laughter was much less, and the guards of the caravan were all in high spirits.

After walking for a long time, we passed a post station. Although it was only a small earthen fence, we felt more at ease when we saw the red flag.At the gate of the station, the postman and the postman crossed their hands to salute them, and greeted them with the wind.

They continued on for about twenty miles, but they never saw the patrolling Qin Qi again.

"Why don't you see Qin Qi anymore?"

"Didn't Team Xiao just say yesterday that the three silk roads, each with a thousand riders, all started from Dunhuang. Think about it, from the middle road of Dunhuang to Mulu on the Persian border, the north road to the Aral Sea, and the south road to the south of Tocharo In Luolan City, no road can be thousands of miles away, and there are only a thousand Qingqi along the way, and a team of 50 people patrols Luo, and a team has to patrol hundreds of miles or even farther.”

"That's right, but it's really amazing that our Daqin cavalry can patrol and protect merchants thousands of miles away." The young man praised.

was talking.

The captain of the caravan guard over there suddenly jumped off the camel, put his quiver Hulu on the ground, and put his ear on it to listen.Seeing this, the old man couldn't help but become serious.

"Grandpa, what's the matter?"

"When a large horse team arrives."

"It must be my Daqin patrolling cavalry."

The old man stared at the captain of the guard, and shook his head, "Looking at the expression on his head, he doesn't look like me, a Daqin patrolling cavalry."

"Can you hear this too?"

"Those who come out to roam around have the ability to suppress the bottom of the box. Team Zhang is also experienced. He can accurately identify how many cavalry there are in the cavalry by listening to the sound, whether it is a soldier or a bandit."

The caravan leader also came over nervously.

The guard stood up, "I'm in trouble. It's not the cavalry, let alone the Qin cavalry. It's the Turkic cavalry."

The young people didn't believe it, "Even Turkic people can hear it?"

"Xu Dalang, if I'm not sure, I won't talk nonsense. Everyone, be prepared, it is estimated that the person who comes is not good, I listen, there are probably hundreds of horses."

The leader of the caravan seemed to trust him very much, without any doubt at all, but immediately ordered everyone to circle the camel caravan and get ready.

"It's not enough to rely on us. We have to send someone to report to the post station behind us. The postmen there have fast horses and are good at riding. Please go to Bachang City to find Team Xiao and the others to rescue them."

The caravan leader hesitated, "Okay."

The old man came out at this time and said to the leader of the caravan, "Li Gong, can you let my son report to him, he is good at riding, young and fast."

The leader of the caravan glanced at the old man, and there was pleading in his eyes.

The leader of the caravan known as Mr. Li thought for a while, "Zhang Tou, you send someone to take Mr. Xu to report to the post station."

The young man still didn't want to leave, "Grandpa, if I stay with you, it may not be true Turkic people, and even if they are Turkic people, they may not be here to rob."

"Dalang, be obedient, hurry up and go."

The young man was reluctantly driven away by the old man.

Seeing the two horses galloping away, the old man said to the leader of the caravan, "Thank you, Mr. Li."

"It's nothing, no one knows what will happen in a while, Da Lang is still young."

A large group of horses arrived in a blink of an eye, raising long yellow sand.

In the distance, these horse teams spread out, and roared with their knives raised.

The guard opened his head and squinted his eyes to look at it, and when he saw this, he shouted, "Copy guy, the other party wants to kill people and rob goods!"

The knife was directly pointed out, and it was still in such a scattered and outflanking formation, it was obvious that it had no good intentions.

Those who dared to run such a long-distance business route were also brave people, and there were many horizontal swords around them for protection. Hearing this, they drew their swords one after another.

"Zhangtou, the life of the big guy is entrusted to you." The caravan leader said.

"Don't worry, let's keep it safe first. If we can talk, it's best to make some money. If we can't talk, we will fight. Don't worry, I, Zhang Shigui, will definitely fight to the end."

After Zhang Shigui finished speaking, he took out his bow and wound it leisurely.

This is an unusual bow. It is different from the bows carried by ordinary merchants. This bow is thicker, longer, and more ferocious. It can be seen that it is a strong bow used by the army.

Withdraw the arrow from Hu Luli and insert it directly into the ground in front of him.

The other guards also took out their bows and got ready.

These guards all have bows, and all of them are masters. Compared with the horizontal knives of the merchants, they are undoubtedly more reassuring.But facing the large group of Turkic cavalry running from afar, everyone still had no idea.

At a glance, there may be two or three hundred riders. These people roared and galloped, they had already surrounded them, and started to circle around them. They obviously regarded them as flesh and blood.

"Li Gong, what is the origin of this bow? It seems that his bow is not simple."

The leader of the caravan was surnamed Li, and he was the steward of the Li family in Longxi. Although the five surnames and seven clans are not as good as before, and they are greatly suppressed, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Li family is still very powerful in Guanlong.

"To be honest, this Zhangtou was also contacted by our patriarch. He really has a lot of background. His ancestral home is in Hedong. He learned martial arts since he was a child. He is good at riding and shooting. He has extraordinary physical strength. He has a bow of one hundred and fifty catties. He can shoot from left to right without any time."

"so smart?"

"That is, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, it was also an anti-king who rose up and gathered a crowd to revolt. Later, he joined Li Yuan and was awarded the title of Doctor You Guanglu. After that, he made many military exploits and was awarded the title of governor. The general manager, you can confer the title of Duke of Guoguo."

The old man was stunned.

He never thought that the man in front of him, dressed in a bearded robe, with a cold face and sharp eyes, had such a remarkable experience.

"But it's all in the past. After all, I, Daqin, won the world in the end. Li Yuan died in the Taiji Palace, and Li Shimin was also demoted to Annan. I heard that he is now the county magistrate of Nantang? , Naturally, he was beaten back to his original shape."

"No matter how bad it is, you won't be reduced to a caravan guard, right?"

"Normally speaking, it really wouldn't be, but who told him that he was involved in the treason case of Li Youliang and others, so he was sent to Dunhuang to farm, and he also came out to protect the caravan after the autumn harvest. Hey, it's all just for life. " Guanshi Li said.
