At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 122 Fuyu City

Gao Bufan wanted to go single-handedly to Fuyu City in Goguryeo to save people. The danger was no less than going deep into a tiger's den. Cui Hu admired this courage and responsibility, so he did not try his best to dissuade him, but only told the former to be careful.

Brothers Gao Shixiong and Gao Shiheng also asked to go together, but Gao Bufan sternly refused this time. Firstly, their mounts were far inferior to Qingyun Shenjun, so it would definitely slow down the trip; secondly, they were bluffing It is easy to reveal your temperament. After all, this time you are entering an enemy country, and you will be exposed if you are not careful, so the fewer people, the better; the third is naturally for the safety of Gao Shixiong brothers. If the two have an accident in Goguryeo, Gao Shixiong It's not easy for Bufan to explain to their old man Gao Shiqing.

Without further ado, although it would be dark in a few hours, Gao Bufan set off alone on his big green horse, carrying only a sword, bow, tent and ten days' dry food, and headed for Fuyu City alone .

Fuyu City is the area around Siping City, Jilin Province in later generations. During the Sui Dynasty, the east of the Liaohe River was ruled by Goguryeo, which naturally included Siping. From the map, at least from Khitan League Tent to Fuyu City There are six to seven hundred kilometers, that is to say, Gao Bufan's trip is literally a thousand miles of riding alone.

Although the snow has stopped now, the sky is still groggy, the northwest wind is still raging like a knife, the snow on the ground is more than a foot deep, and it is white as far as the eye can see. Covering, if you don't have any experience, you may not be able to tell the difference between the south, the south, and the north, let alone rushing in this environment.

Of course, this is not a problem for Gao Bufan. After all, he was a professional soldier in his previous life. He has received strict field survival training, and it is a compulsory course to distinguish directions in various harsh environments.

At this time, Gao Bufan rode his horse up to a snowy ridge, took out a map and compared it for a while, then he found the direction, stroked the mane of the big green horse that was blown by the cold wind and said softly: "Good man, let's go now I’m going to save people in a very dangerous place, so please!”

The big green horse seemed to understand the master's words, and it let out a long and clear long hiss in the face of the fierce northwest wind, and raised its front hooves to scrape the snow on the ground.

Gao Bufan pointed to the high mountain to the southeast and said: "Look, we have to go to the foot of that mountain to camp before dark."

The big green horse snorted, and in the next second it rushed down the snowy ridge like an arrow off the string, galloping towards the high mountain.The big green horse is indeed very handsome. The temperature at the moment is probably more than ten degrees below zero, but it is still full of energy, running on the snow like walking on flat ground.

Gao Bufan wrapped his cloak tightly, his body leaned forward, his butt slightly left the saddle, and his whole body followed the rhythm of the mount, undulating like waves, trying to reduce the resistance as much as possible, one person and one horse swept across the snow like the west wind, and swept across the snow ridge... …

collapse……

With the sound of strings, but seeing the arrow go like a shooting star, a fox that came out to look for food after the snow was shot and killed on the snow, and the big green horse galloped past. Gao Bufan bent down and reached out to kill him The fox picked it up, and the next second the big green horse was already more than ten meters away, and disappeared behind the col in a few breaths, so that the few squirrels on the tree didn't react, and peeked around for a few times. Then continue to hunt for food with peace of mind.

It was completely dark, and one man and one horse found a sheltered place at the foot of the mountain to camp for the night. Gao Bufan set up a tent to collect dry firewood, while Da Qing Ma used his hooves to dig up the snow on the ground to find some dead grass and leaves to satisfy his hunger. .

The bonfire was lit, and the fox was skinned and gutted and roasted on the fire. This was Gao Bufan's dinner today.It is worth mentioning that the fur of this fox is fiery red, which is very rare, so Gao Bufan just shot its eyes across with one arrow, without hurting the fur. After drying and tanning, it will be a beautiful Natural scarf, the value must be high.

The night is as dark as ink, the barren mountains are silent, and a few stars appear in the sky.

The self-reliant Daqingma lay down by the fire to rest and recover his strength after eating, while Gao Bufan was studying the map carefully. According to his calculations, at the speed of Daqingma, he could reach Fuyu City in three days at the fastest, but May Dou Xianniang have not been sent away by then.

Fortunately, since the Khitan Sule planned to dedicate Dou Xianniang to the King of Goguryeo, he would not touch her along the way, and even waited on her. After all, a complete beauty with a lively face and fragrance is the most valuable.

The weather was beautiful, and the next day it cleared up. Gao Bufan put away his tent and continued on his way. On the morning of the fourth day, he came to the edge of a big river. At this moment, the river was frozen, and its width was tens of feet. Gao Bufan estimated that this should be It is the Liaohe River, which means that after crossing the river, it will be the territory of Goguryeo.

It has to be said that Goguryeo was quite powerful during the Sui Dynasty. Its territory not only covered the entire Korean Peninsula, but even most of Liaoning and Jilin were occupied by it. It was not until the Tang Dynasty that it was laid down by the Tang cavalry .

"stop!"

As soon as Gao Bufan led his horse across the Liao River, a small group of cavalry rushed out from a forest on the other side of the river and surrounded him. They were probably soldiers from Goguryeo. Fortunately, there were not many cavalry, only twelve cavalry. , It is estimated that it is a small group of rangers who are in charge of patrolling.

"Who are you? Take off your cloak!" the leading Goguryeo soldier yelled sharply, holding a spear in his hand and looking sharp.

The other party spoke Goguryeo, and Gao Bufan couldn't understand a word, but he could barely guess the other party's intentions from his body language. He slowly lifted the hood of the cloak, revealing his true colors, and asked calmly: "Is there anyone who can speak Da Sui dialect?"

Those Koguryo rangers suddenly changed their expressions slightly, and cursed: "Damn it, it's Sui Gou, god damn it, kill him!"

The leading Goguryeo soldier raised his spear first, and stabbed at Gao Bufan's chest. The latter raised his sword eyebrows, stretched out his hand, and easily grabbed the spear head, and then sent it hard, and the wooden handle of the spear hit there. The chest of a Goguryeo soldier, who fell off his horse like a weed and fell on the snow, spurting blood.

The other eleven Goguryeo cavalry were startled, they hurriedly waved their weapons and greeted Gao Bufan, the long knife in Gao Bufan's hand came out of its sheath with a clang, but the light of the knife was like a horse flying across the sky, beheading several people with great power Unstoppable and unstoppable.The rest of the Goguryeo cavalry were scared out of their wits when they saw this, turned their horses and fled, but Gao Bufan easily shot them to the ground one by one.

The leader of the Goguryeo soldier was not dead yet, seeing Gao Bufan walking towards him, his teeth chattered in fright, and he even begged for mercy in Sui dialect: "Good man, spare your life, good man, spare your life!"

Gao Bufan was a little surprised, and asked curiously, "You can speak Da Sui dialect?"

The Goguryeo soldier nodded and said fawningly: "Although my mother is from Goguryeo, my father is from Sui, so I have half Sui blood in my body."

Gao Bufan suddenly said: "So it's a Sino-foreign joint venture!"

The Goguryeo soldiers looked dumbfounded, Gao Bufan didn't explain, and asked lightly, "Is there a camp near you?"

The Goguryeo soldier shook his head and said, "Our base is in Fuyu City, not far from here, so we don't need a camp!"

Gao Bufan was overjoyed, and quickly asked: "How far is Fuyu City from here?"

"About fifty miles!" The Goguryeo soldier replied.

Gao Bufan frowned and said: "That's not too close, why did you go to such a far place to patrol? If you dare to say half a lie, I will kill you immediately!"

This Goguryeo soldier shuddered cleverly. He just watched Gao Bufan kill eleven of his companions like a chicken. He dared to hide anything, and replied tremblingly: "Actually, we are responsible The scout team who inquired about the news, Tai Sui's army suddenly launched an attack on Liaodong City a few days ago. Master Ulji Wende was worried that the Sui army would sneak attack Fuyu City, so he sent me to patrol along the Liaohe River to guard against the Sui army's sneak attack across the river! "

Gao Bufan's heart moved when he heard the words, it seems that Yu Juluo really guessed it, Yang Guang did not play the card according to common sense, he didn't wait until the spring of next year to start, but took advantage of the cold winter months to launch a surprise attack, tsk tsk, it can be seen , Yang Guang is really good at using soldiers, but it is difficult to attack a city in such a bad weather environment. If he is not careful, he will lose his wife and lose his army.

To put it nicely, this is courage and courage. To put it bluntly, it is the psychology of a gambler. Gamblers often have only two outcomes. One is to win by luck and become the king of gambling admired by everyone. In the meantime, he became a pauper, and he might even be responsible for a lot, and Yang Guang's bet was even more exaggerated, because he almost bet on his great Sui Dynasty.

"Who is Ulji Wende?" Gao Bufan asked again.

The Goguryeo soldier's eyes flickered, and he stammered: "The little one said it, can you let the little one go?"

Gao Bufan nodded and said, "Of course, I always keep my word!"

"Lord Ulji Mundeok is the guarding general of Fuyu City, and he commands 5000 people and horses, including [-] cavalry!" This Goguryeo soldier betrayed his lord without hesitation in order to survive.

Gao Bufan nodded, and asked again: "Is the Khitan independent living department who took refuge not long ago also in Fuyu City?"

The Goguryeo soldier nodded immediately and said, "Yes, there is. The Khitan who takes the lead is called Su Le, and he is in Fuyu City right now."

Gao Bufan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "You are very honest, if you answer one more question, I will let you go."

"You ask, I know everything!" the Goguryeo soldier said hastily.

"That Khitan man named Su Le captured a woman from the Sui Dynasty and said that she would sacrifice it to the King of Goguryeo, do you know?"

The Goguryeo soldier shook his head blankly, apparently he didn't know, but in his capacity, it's not surprising that he didn't know.

"Let's go!" Gao Bufan waved his hand and said calmly.

The Korean soldier was overjoyed, covered his chest and reluctantly got on the horse, and then galloped, and glanced back from time to time, as if he was afraid that Gao Bufan would shoot sniper arrows behind him.

Gao Bufan didn't shoot the arrow, nor did he chase after him, but just quietly watched the Goguryeo soldier run far away, but the latter only ran a hundred meters away, and his body froze as if possessed by an evil spirit, and he jumped from the back of the galloping horse. He fell off and never got up again.

Gao Bufan shook his head. In fact, the handle of his gun just now had already broken the opponent's breastbone. Gotta die.

Sure enough, when Gao Bufan approached with his horse, he found that the Gaoju soldier had already vomited blood and died of his breath. The horse stood a few meters away and looked around blankly.

Gao Bufan silently took off the Goguryeo soldier's clothes and put them on, then took his mount and headed towards Fuyu City.
