Chapter six hundred and twentieth heart imbalance
The night falls and Kabul City is peaceful.
On the north gate tower, Persian soldiers and Tang Dynasty soldiers were on duty together, monitoring the movements outside the city. Usually, soldiers may be lazy when on duty, but the soldiers from the two families were both unwilling to be despised by others. Therefore, they were fat and energetic, standing straight, and looking vigilantly at the vast land outside the city.
"Tread and step", a sound of horse hooves broke the tranquility.
At the north gate, a team of Tang Dynasty cavalry came from the city. A Tang army officer and a Persian officer came over at the same time and blocked their way.
"Who?" the two shouted at the same time.
"It's me." The white tiger was walking in the front of the team.
"It's General Bai. It's so late. Are you going to leave the city?" the Tang army officer greeted.
Baihu said, "Yes, go out of the city to work on the orders of the prince."
As he said that, Baihu took out a token and inspected it for the Tang army officer. Then he took out a token from the Governor's Office of the Persian Angot and handed it to the Persian officer for inspection.
The two officers nodded at each other, indicating that the tokens were correct. They turned around at the same time and shouted to the soldiers at the gate: "Open the gate."
After a "squeaking" sound, the heavy city gate was pushed open, Baihu and others left the city and rushed into the vast night.
Azimu and Umaer wore Tang army uniforms and mixed into Kabul City in the team. Azimu's heart finally let go. It seemed that the people of the Tang Dynasty were very trustworthy. He was very excited. When the Tang Dynasty met him yesterday, the prince of the Tang Dynasty gave him 50 Persian silver coins. He really gained a lot of money this trip.
Early in the morning, the team arrived on the border and the White Tiger said goodbye to Azimu.
Baihu said, "Sir, your place is ahead, so I won't send it to you anymore. My prince will set off tomorrow morning. You must make arrangements to ensure the safety of my prince."
Azimu said, "Don't worry, sir, I will arrange everything." After that, he got on the horse and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute." Baihu said.
"Hmm? Are they going to turn against each other?" Aqimu's heart skipped a beat, and suddenly he had a bad premonition.
Just when he was frightened, Baihu said, "Sir, your place is ahead. It will cause misunderstandings if they wear Tang army uniforms. It's better to change into your own clothes."
He said that the guards behind him took out two sets of cannibal costumes and handed them to Azimu and Umaer.
Azimu felt warm in his heart and said sincerely: "It's still Lord Bai who thinks carefully." He and Uma'er changed into clothes and said goodbye and left again.
The sky is high and the clouds are light, and it is blue.
The continuous mountains are like galloping horses, and they come to an abrupt end here, with endless flat grasslands ahead.
At the entrance of the Honggra valley, Li Tongshan, the deputy protector of the Western Regions Protectorate, left the valley entrance. He saw that the terrain was flat in front, and he stopped the horse's reins and said, ", Deputy General Huang, where are you?"
A deputy general around him said, "It should be out of the Hongra Valley."
Li Tongshan said, "Get the map."
He turned over and dismounted, and the generals also dismounted. A personal soldier spread the map on the ground, and Li Tongshan and others formed a circle. The deputy general pointed to the mark on the map and said, "Sir, you see, it's here, it's still 5 days away from Kabul City."
Li Tongshan nodded and said, "Send the order and the army will camp out of the valley entrance and continue to rush tomorrow morning." The army has been marching in the mountains for 8 days and is exhausted. It is time to have a good rest.
Half an hour later, the army all left the valley entrance and camped on the spot. Soon, smoke from the cooking stove was curling in the fields, and a faint smell of food was floating in the breeze.
The soldiers were setting up tents, and Li Tongshan and others were temporarily sitting outside on Hu's bed chatting.
At this moment, a personal soldier came to report, and he said, "Mr. Protector, there is our cavalry behind us, with thousands of men."
Li Tongshan and others stood up and watched towards the entrance of the valley. They saw smoke and dust rolling, and a team of Tang cavalry rushed towards them.
The Tang army quickly galloped over. They did not stop, and passed by the troops from the Western Regions Protectorate and continued to march forward.
Li Tongshan and others noticed that the equipment of this cavalry unit was different from theirs, and it looked better than theirs and had more types. At this time, in the fast Mercedes-Benz, the military flag was fluttering and rolling, and the sequence marks above were not clearly visible.
Deputy General Huang asked: "Sir, what kind of troops is this?"
Li Tongshan shook his head, he suddenly remembered something and said, "Can it be the Flying Tiger Army?"
As we all know, the equipment of the Flying Tiger Army is the best among the entire army. Although Li Tongshan and others have never seen it, they have heard of it.
At this time, an officer from the Western Regions Protectorate came with two young generals.
"General Li." The visitor called him.
"It's precious, kindness is precious." Li Tongshan said happily.
The people who came were Zhang Baogui and Xue Rengui. Everyone bowed to each other. They were old acquaintances and they met when they were in Tuyuhun.
Deputy General Huang was very curious. The two generals in front of him were only in their early 20s, but looking at their service, one was dressed in purple and gold and jade belt, which was actually General Guide from the third rank, which was half a level higher than Li Tongshan's. The other young general, dressed in bluish and gold belt, was General Zhongwu at the fourth rank. (Zhang Baogui was the commander of the Flying Tiger Army, General Guide from the third rank, and Xue Rengui was the director of the combat department of the General Staff, and General Zhongwu at the fourth rank.)
Deputy General Huang is 37 years old this year and is still a fourth-rank General Xuanwei, so he is inevitably a little unbalanced.
Li Tongshan warmly invited: "Let the troops stop and rest. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's have a few drinks together."
Zhang Baogui said: "No, in Kabul, the great cannibals have an army of 200,000. The prince is now in Kabul, but there are only one thousand men around him. It is really dangerous."
"What? How can this work?" Li Tongshan also looked anxious.
Zhang Baogui said: "General Li, General Huang, we go to Kabul first, and then drink bars there, and say goodbye."
After saying that, Zhang Baogui and Xue Rengui stepped onto the war horse and galloped away.
Li Tongshan ordered: "Send the order, and all the troops should hurry up and rest for an hour after the meal, and the entire army will set off."
The personal soldiers were building tents, and after hearing the order, they immediately began to demolish them.
It's time to eat. Li Tongshan, Deputy General Huang and several side generals have dinner together.
Deputy General Huang remembered what happened just now and said with some dissatisfaction: "Master Protector, the two generals who were so young just now were such high-level ones. Where did they come from?"
Several of the generals had similar thoughts to him, and they were all a little angry.
