People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 556 Guhe intercepted and killed, Goshawk watched

To the west of Chang'an City, under the Golden Light Gate.

Li Xuan was wearing silver armor, standing in front of the table, carefully flipping through the records of going out of the city, surrounded by Jinwu guards on guard.

Behind him, the Chengmen Ling looked at Li Xuan nervously, as if he was afraid that Li Xuan would really find something from it.

At this time, on the other side, people who entered from outside the city were not blocked at all, but those who wanted to leave were all stopped.

"You're a little nervous." Li Xuan's cold voice came directly into the ears of Chengmen Ling.

Although the city gate order had a wry smile on his face, he immediately cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to the lord, since the city gate was opened today, the subordinate officials have been carefully checking everyone who enters and exits the Golden Light Gate, and there is no omission."

"Oh, is it?" Li Xuan's voice raised slightly, he raised his head, looked at the city gate order with a slightly surprised look, and then asked: "The king asks you, after the city gate is opened today, how many people are there?" People on horseback go in and out of the Golden Light Gate."

The city gate order thought for a while, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Reporting to the lord, from the beginning of the city gate to the present, there are a total of 34 lines, and a total of 52 people have entered and exited the Golden Light Gate on horseback."

"Then how many lines are there in the team of more than two people, and where did they go?" Li Xuan's questions were uninterrupted and extremely direct.

The city gate order didn't know why, but at this moment, his heart suddenly tightened.

After listening to Li Xuan's question, the Chengmen Ling thought for a while, and said cautiously: "There are about nine people in total. These people include the Qianniu Guard, the Jinwu Guard, and the messengers of the Ministry of War. There are four caravans."

Li Xuan immediately turned to look at Qin Jun, and said in a deep voice, "Go and investigate immediately."

"Here!" Qin Jun immediately turned around and led the people towards the city. He already roughly understood Li Xuan's way of investigating the case.

Li Xuan turned around, looked at Cui Ding solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "Immediately send the information of the nine teams just now to the nearby counties and villages, and immediately verify the location of everyone, and the caravan will be detained immediately. Order them to return to the city, Jinwuwei, Qianniuwei, the messengers of the Ministry of War, and the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, and order them to immediately send back their own information for verification, but those who disobey will be arrested immediately, and those who resist will be killed!"

"Follow the order!" Cui Ding immediately became excited, and turned around to make arrangements.

Since the King of Nanchang said so, Cui Ding also felt that those people must be among the nine teams.

As long as you find someone here, you can immediately make meritorious deeds again.

"Your Majesty, are you following those horses?" The gatekeeper suddenly replied with a half-understanding.

Li Xuan turned around sharply, and stared at the city gate order in astonishment: "The order officer remembered something."

The city gate order was a little hesitant, and said with some uncertainty: "A group of Jinwu Guards came out of the city before, and they took the tokens of the Right Jinwu Guards, but the horses they rode seemed to be horses from the Ministry of War?"

"Where did you go?" Li Xuan's eyes lit up, and he took a step forward, his eyes sparkling.

The city gate order thought for a while, and said, "It seems to be going to Zhongnan Mountain."

"Cui Ding! Get on the horse immediately!" Li Xuan waved to Cui Ding, who was sending the order in the distance, and at the same time looked at the city gate order and said, "After Captain Qin comes back, immediately let him follow the horse's hooves."

"Here!" The city gate order immediately agreed.

Seeing that Cui Ding had returned, Li Xuan immediately got on his horse, and at the same time said to the city gate order: "What is your name, if you can find the fugitive, I will mark your credit."

"Xiaguan City Gate Commander Shi Wang Xing." Wang Xing hadn't finished speaking when there was a loud sound from the horse's hooves in front of him.

Seeing Li Xuan and his party rushing out of the city gate, Wang Xing was both excited and apprehensive.

If he can really win the first achievement, then he can take a big step forward.

……

The sound of hoofbeats broke the calmness of the stream, and snowflakes stood up one after another.

A whole group of Jinwu Guard cavalry followed behind Li Xuan, rushed across the stream, and rushed towards Qingzhou.

This is not the way to Zhongnan Mountain at all.

Li Xuan didn't believe that the Turkic people would detour to Zhongnan Mountain. With the temperament of the Turkic people, they wanted to fly back to the grassland immediately. How could they detour?

So after Li Xuan came out of Chang'an, without the slightest hesitation, she rushed towards the direction of Qingzhou in the north.

The soldiers of the Jinwu Guard behind him had no doubts at all.

These people are all Jin Wuwei soldiers who fought together with Li Xuan in the Yunshao Academy. Last time, they followed Li Xuan to destroy the Yunshao Academy. Hesitate a little bit.

The group of Qianniuwei has set the best example for them, following the king of Nanchang, they have never suffered a disadvantage.

A carrier pigeon flew down from the sky, and finally landed on Li Xuan's shoulder.

As soon as Li Xuan tapped his fingers, a small note was unfolded in front of his eyes.

Immediately, Li Xuan's voice rang in the ears of the soldiers of the Jinwu Guards who were running wildly: "It has been confirmed that, except for the Jinwu Guards, all other people and information have returned to Chang'an. There is a Jinwu Guard with a total of 13 people. After Chang'an, there was no information to report back, but there was a group of 13 military heralds who went straight to Huachi County along the lines of Yi and Zhengning."

Hearing Li Xuan's voice, the faces of everyone present beamed with joy.

Although the Turks were smart enough to change their clothes when they left Chang'an City, they couldn't change their war horses.

A few children were caught.

Juyi, Zhengning, and Hwachi are all in Gyeongju.

At the foot of the Qinling Mountains, the hills were undulating, and the speed of the horse was not fast. They were likely to intercept those people.

"After arriving in Ning County, immediately change horses and turn eastward. This king will completely stop them at Heshui." Li Xuan's voice was extremely firm and solemn.

All the Jinwu guards in the group agreed in muffled voices, and with even more rapid hoofbeats, they rushed towards Ning County.

Above their heads, a goshawk had already flew towards Heshui.

In the endless hills and dense forests, it is not easy to find a team of troops, but this team is traveling northward at a high speed, rushing out of the hills from time to time, and then sinking into the jungle farther away. , it looks very eye-catching.

The horse is still the horse of the Ministry of War, but the knight on the horse has changed into the costume of the right Qianniuwei.

It stands to reason that if this group of people took the right path, no one would dare to stop them, but they chose to take this path.

Safety is safe, but the speed has also been slowed down, but the group of people didn't care at all, and continued to move forward steadily.

Ahead, a long river suddenly blocked their way, and the group immediately got off their horses to rest.

The horses drank water and grazed, while the knight on the horse drank the wine in the wine bag, chewed the beef jerky he carried with him, and lay down on the ground for a quick rest to recover his strength.

At the front of the crowd was an unshaven old man in his [-]s, dressed in black brocade clothes, with a high nose and deep eyes, looking around sharply.

The woman on the side quickly handed over the wine bag, and the old man gulped down several sips.

After seeing the horses that had finished drinking, they shouted in a low voice, "Let's go, cross the river."

A few hundred meters above the small river, there is a wooden bridge for traffic.

A group of people headed towards the upstream bridge very neatly, as if they were very familiar with the road in this line.

Soon, they passed through hills and rivers, and finally arrived at the south bank of Gu River at dusk.

……

At sunset and dusk, light and shadow are like swords.

In the dense forest, a crisp voice sounded: "Ada, those people in the imperial court should not be able to catch up with us now, right?"

"Duo'er, don't underestimate anyone, especially Ming Chongyan. After last night's defeat, he will become even crazier, so we won't be truly safe until we reach the Wuding River." Ashina Gana Sit in the shade.

Now this is the Gu River, and there is still a long way to go from the Wuding River.

"I don't know what's going on with Yun'er." After a slight pause, Ashinaduo looked at his father and asked, "Ada, are we really going to go to war with Datang?"

"It's not that we want to go to war with Datang, but that Datang will definitely not let us go." Ashina Gana coughed slightly, and then said: "Actually, as long as the Khanate is rebuilt, Datang will definitely not let us go." Ours will definitely kill them, and when we wait for work with ease, we will definitely win."

Ashina Gana clenched his fists tightly, looking determined, but with a single word from him, the bloody storms of the next few years have been clearly displayed in front of people.

Ashinaduo was still a little uneasy, and immediately added: "Ada, let's do it together with Tubo?"

"No, let Tubo move first, let them fight Datang first, as long as Tubo is not destroyed by Datang in this battle, then we have a chance to defeat Datang." A ruthless look flashed in Ashnagana's eyes. Spicy, Tubo wants to use Turks, so Turks are not using Tubo.

The grandson of Jieli Khan, after leaving Chang'an, finally showed a heroic posture.

Seeing Ashina Gana's confident face, Ashina felt more and more uneasy.

When he was in Chang'an, he didn't think much of it, but now that he left Chang'an, and suddenly thought of going against the mighty Tang, Ashinaduo felt uneasy for no reason.

"Let's go, we're going back to the grassland." Ashina Gana stood up slowly. At this moment, a burst of eagle cries suddenly came from high in the sky, and then fell, and then landed directly on Ashina. On the shoulders of Nagana.

"Here we come." Ashina Gana's eyes flashed with joy, and immediately, he took a note from the goshawk's leg.

After just a glance, Gana handed the note to her daughter Ashina Yun, and said triumphantly, "Your cousin and the others have reached the other side."

"They're really here." Ashina Yun's eyes showed a trace of horror.

A few months ago, people from the grassland tribe had visited Ashina Gana, and the two parties had some exchanges on today's events.

The grassland tribes are extremely eager to re-establish the Turkic Khanate, and they hope that the descendants of Jieli Khan can go back and lead them again.

The attitude of the grassland tribe is the real reason why the Ashina clan defected to Tang Dynasty.

Without the support of the grassland tribes, who would give up the prosperity and wealth of Chang'an just because of the promise of the Tubo people.

But the ambition of unifying the Khanate and devouring the Central Plains made every Turkic man unbearably excited.

……

"That person actually sent the letter to the grassland." Ashinayun blushed for a while.

Although they had exchanges with the prairie tribes, the date of their defection has only been confirmed not long ago. It is impossible to be sure whether the prairie tribes will arrive in time, but now they are here.

On the other side, there was a sound of horseshoes, and the familiar felt hat and machete appeared on the other side.

It is only two hundred miles away from Chang'an.

At this moment, a strange goshawk hovered gently in the sky overhead.

Get everything in your eyes.
