Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 185 The enemy advances and I retreat
Lieutenant Sun led the cavalry and immediately set off from the barracks. As expected, he was about to arrive in Yiheli in less than an hour.

When the villages along the way saw these cavalrymen dispatched, they all closed the gates of the villages tightly. The brave men in the village also gathered and looked at the officers and soldiers vigilantly.

Captain Sun is used to these gazes. When he first joined the army, the reputation of the officers and soldiers was not as bad as it is now.

But now that the officers and soldiers are traveling, the people are staring at them with anti-wolf eyes, for fear that these officers and soldiers will rush into the village and rob.

It has not been a day or two since the military discipline of the officers and soldiers has been lax. When Guo Jiedu first took office, he punished a large number of generals who plundered and killed good deeds, and the Hexi army took on a new look.

But after Guo Ziyi served concurrently as Shuofang Jiedushi, focusing on presiding over the defense of the Hetao area, Hexi's military affairs were handed over to the Jiedushi to stay behind.

This deputy commander does not have the prestige of Guo Ziyi, nor is he a person who is so ruthless to rectify military discipline. Military discipline in Hexi is rapidly falling apart, and the reputation of soldiers and bandits is similar.

But Xiaowei Sun didn't care. After he became the captain, the Sun family settled down from a shabby household in Zhangye City to a large family with hundreds of servants. People with heads and faces.

The brigade commander below is naturally imitating the example. One can imagine the reputation of the cavalry in Zhangye City.

Zhang Hun also rode behind this group of cavalry, and he didn't want to deal with these vulgar soldiers, but if he wanted to change his horse into a mulberry, he still had to rely on these guys.

At the gate of Yiheli, Captain Sun said to the two soldiers beside him: "Take a team of people and go to the entrance of the village to shout first, saying that Ma Sanlang is in collusion with the gangsters, let them tie Ma Sanlang out!"

But when Sun Xiaowei's personal soldiers went in to shout, the village in Yiheli was extremely quiet, there was no sound at all.

What happened to Yiheli?
The soldiers yelled a few more times, and seeing that Yiheli still had no response, they rushed into Yiheli on horseback.

When they rushed into Yiheli, they found that every house was closed and there was no sound of people in the village.

These officers and soldiers who usually bully men and women are also a little panicked at this time.

They got off their horses and walked into a thatched house, only to find that the house was also empty, not even the chickens in the chicken coop.

The soldiers entered the doors of several houses, and the situation was the same as this house. The houses were empty, there was no one in the house, and all the livestock and poultry in the backyard were taken away.

The soldier rushed back to Lieutenant Sun and said, "Lieutenant! Yihe is empty, there is no one there!"

no one?
Sun Xiaowei looked at the empty village and couldn't help but feel a chill.

He held up his horsewhip and said, "Such a big village, even if it hears the wind, can it run away so quickly? Search it for me!"

The guards immediately rushed into Yiheli again, this time they swept almost every house seriously, and were horrified to find that there was no one in Yiheli, and all valuables, including livestock and poultry, were taken away.

In fact, before the officers and soldiers came, Li Daoyuan had already conducted several evacuation drills with the people in Yiheli.

The gangsters led by Li Daoyuan and Ma Sanlang continued to attack the scribes who changed horses to sang, and successively ruined the clearing work of several horse farms.

Based on Li Daoyuan's understanding of these officials and lords, if their good deeds are ruined, they must be killed.

Li Daoyuan studied geographic surveying and mapping. After graduation, he joined a surveying and mapping company of a state-owned enterprise.

Although he is very skilled, he couldn't adapt to the intrigues of state-owned enterprises, so he resigned and became a blogger for survival in the wild.

Although Li Daoyuan is not good at official affairs, he still knows the lower limit of these officials, that is, there is no lower limit!

Changing a horse into a scatterer involves the interests of too many people.

If this great land is really sold, how much money can be made, and how many favors can be sold.

It can be said that from Fang Guan, the envoy of Jiedu in Hexi, to Wu Chudao, the governor of Ganzhou, and then to Cao Zhanghun, the governor of the governor's house, as long as the matter of changing the horse to a mulberry is done, the family can earn wealth for one or two generations.

Killing parents by cutting off people's wealth, and the government and army coming out of the city to wipe out the bandits will definitely happen.

That's why Li Daoyuan arranged for Zhou Shi to take over the small wine shop next to the military camp, and obtained the qualification to supply wine to the military camp by using the method of distilling and purifying spirits provided by players on the forum.

As soon as the army was dispatched, Zhou Shi had already notified Li Daoyuan in Yiheli. Li Daoyuan immediately rang the bell in the center of the village and arranged for the villagers to retreat according to the process of acting.

After a search, there was no one in Yihe, not even a chicken or a cow. Now the guards panicked, ran out of the village, and said to Xiaowei Sun : "Captain! It's not good! There is not a single living thing in the village, did you encounter some dirty thing?"

The soldier suddenly remembered a weird story told by the restaurant owner named Zhou Shi.

This is what Zhou Shi told them when they were eating wine. He said that there was a young scholar staying in a village in the wilderness.

There is a rule in the village that you must not go to the river at night.

This young scholar was so young and energetic that he insisted on climbing over the wall and going to the river at night.

The scholar saw a strange head in the river. Although it looked like a scholar, there was no body under the head. He looked straight at the scholar and showed a strange smile.

The scholar scrambled back to the village, but found that there was no one in the village, not only no one, but even the livestock and poultry disappeared without a trace.

The scholar was even more frightened, and left the village overnight, but when it was almost dawn, a head chased up from behind and bit the scholar's back!
The scholar screamed and struggled, but the flesh on his back was eaten by the flying head, and finally his heart was crushed by the flying head and he died.

The story of Zhou Shi, the man with a flying head, is very vivid, as if he had experienced it himself.

The soldier remembered this story, and immediately retreated.

However, Xiaowei Sun has never heard of this story. Even if he had heard of this story, he would order the soldiers to shoot down the Flying Man.

Evil ghosts are more afraid of evil people. Captain Sun has done so many bad things, and he has never seen any evil ghosts take his life.

However, something strange happened in Yiheli, Xiaowei Sun waved his whip and rode into the village to check.

Sure enough, as the soldiers said, all the creatures in the village were taken away.

However, Xiaowei Sun still saw some traces of life.

At Malizheng's house, he touched the still warm stove and said, "They just left, they must not have gone far, go outside the village to see if there are any traces!"

What Sun Xiaowei said finally dispelled the fear of the soldiers. It seems that these villagers ran away by themselves.

After careful inspection, the cavalry soon found traces of ruts.

"Follow me!" Lieutenant Sun ordered immediately, waving his whip.

Even if the people in Yiheli had just set off, and they didn't have horses, how could they outrun the cavalry like themselves.

Sun Xiaowei thought, and started chasing the people in Yiheli along the track of the rut.

But he didn't expect that these ruts were also intentionally left by Li Daoyuan.

Most of the people have been scattered to several nearby villages and hid in the homes of the villagers who joined the mutual aid association.

Ma Sanlang and several other young men hid in the woods to observe the movements of the officers and soldiers.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers were fooled, they chased after them along the ruts, and Ma Sanlang immediately urged his companions to join Li Daoyuan from the short cut in the forest.

Li Daoyuan and his party had already arrived at the foot of Qilian Mountain on horseback. These ruts were deliberately left by them to lure these officers and soldiers into the bait.

Shandan Horse Farm is located near Qilian Mountain. This horse farm was founded by General Huo Qubing of the Western Han Dynasty. It was the most important horse breeding base in the Central Plains in the Han Dynasty.

In the Tang Dynasty, Taipu Temple set up a Qunmu Yuan in Shandan, and dispatched Hexi Qunmu Supervisor officials to operate the Shandan Racecourse.

Before the Anlushan Rebellion, Shandan Racecourse was also the most important racecourse in Datang.

Most of the horses needed by the border towns in the Tang Dynasty were produced in the horse farms of Hexi and Hedong, and the Shandan horse farm occupied nearly half of the horses in Hexi.

However, the Shandan Racecourse is already in a state of desertion. Standing on the edge of the racecourse, you can occasionally see groups of wild horses galloping on the racecourse, but there are no riders to catch them for a long time.

When passing Shandan Racecourse, Li Daoyuan also sighed.

"New Tang Book" records that before the Anshi Rebellion, the entire Longyou had 32 war horses.

When Datang lost the land of Hexi, he completely lost the racecourse in Hexi.

In the first year of the founding of Tang Dezong, Tang Dezong spent a lot of money and food to build a horse farm in the Guanfu area to enrich the stables of the imperial army. Financial difficulties abandoned the horse farms in the Kansuke area.

During the reign of Emperor Wenzong of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court set up a horse farm in Yinzhou again, but they bred 32 horses, but it was said in the "New Tang Book" that Wenzong revitalized the horse administration. Thinking about the [-] horses before Longyou, I don’t know how inferior they are Where did it go.

Li Daoyuan continued to the front line and arrived at the foot of Qilian Mountain when it was getting dark.

The Xiangyong organized by the Mutual Aid Association had already gathered here. After seeing Li Daoyuan coming, these Xiangyong immediately surrounded him.

Li Daoyuan asked: "Are you all ready?"

"Everything is ready! The river at the foot of the mountain is the most suitable place to camp. We have already prepared an ambush in the woods by the river as instructed."

Li Daoyuan nodded and said: "Very good, remember to ensure everyone's safety, and wait until after dark to do anything. Also, remember to harass the officers and soldiers. If you don't have weapons, you won't be able to fight even a night attack."

"Understand! We just want to keep them from sleeping!"

Li Daoyuan nodded and said: "Take them to Qilian Mountain tomorrow and then deal with them!"
