The speed of the Gaoche Huben army to Qinhan City was as fast as the wind.
This is not some kind of rhetorical device, but it is really fast like riding the wind, because there is a person who is open to hang in the team - Kou Qianzhi.
Kou Qianzhi was summoned by Tuoba Tao and Su Hejun from Mount Tai after receiving Yuan Fang's letter. I don't know if it was because of He Mulan's influence in this era, Kou Qianzhi was not used as much as in the previous life. Only preaching and teaching in Pingcheng, he was awarded the title of "Heavenly Master", and he was regarded as the leader of Taoism officially recognized by the imperial court.
But Kou Qian, who knows astronomy and geography below, is indeed the best guide in the army, so before Tuoba Tao went west to Huxia, he took Kou Qianzhi with him. The latter also accurately predicted that the Yellow River would freeze, so that the The army crossed the river and conquered Wan and took Hu Xia.
It's one thing for Kou Yizhi to not have He Mulan's illness, because he thinks that He Mulan is a man, and the harmony of Yin and Yang is the way of Dunlon. Every adult man understands that even if He Mulan is too energetic, a woman can't bear it. , In this era, it is normal to have three wives and four concubines. Who can think of danger
However, Kou Qianzhi saved He Mulan's life in Rouran. He knew that she was a woman, and he knew that there must be some reason why he in another world had been helping her.
How can a woman vent her excess yang energy? This is simply a matter of life!
So this time Gao Che Huben went to Qinhan City. In the past, Tuoba Tao still invited Kou Qianzhi and people from the Taoist sect to accompany the army. First, they were all brilliant doctors. Second, Kou Qianzhi was able to astrology and divination. Walking south and north, it can be said that he is an old man. With him following, everyone can rest assured.
The reason why Kou Qianzhi is called the "National Teacher" is of course that he has his own extraordinary ability. The Taoist person is not a fool. He will listen to you with just a few words. This person is indeed proficient in all kinds of Taoism. People of all ages will "please the gods to grant them". The so-called granting means temporarily borrowing some kind of power by means of a talisman. The Taoists on Mount Tai are the best among them.
The talisman used by the Taoists who followed this time is called "Strong Body". Although it can't make people faster, it can be used on horses, and the effect is more obvious than that of people.
Because of the help of some mysterious power, these horses run as light as swallows, and the three horses can rotate almost without sleep.
Gaoche people are all from the nomadic tribes of the past. A few years ago, on the prairie, they could eat, drink, and scatter on horses. Their trousers/crotch and thighs have long been honed. Tongue smacking.
I am afraid that if Tuoba Tao knew that Kou Qianzhi had this kind of ability, he would make Kou Qianzhi a "national teacher" when he returned to Beijing, and he would worship him well.
What is the skill of planting and water conservancy without any prophecy! This kind of ability to make the troops travel thousands of miles a day is what the Xianbei cavalry needs most!
It was precisely because the high car and the tiger traveled day and night that they reached Qinhan City in a very short time. When they arrived at Qinhan City, Helianding was still halfway there, and he couldn't even see the shadow of Western Qin. Unable to contact the other party.
As soon as they arrived at Qinhan City, Di Yefei followed Liu Yuanzong to the city guardhouse. The Gaoche, Tigers and Ben army were all exhausted and became dogs. When they finally got to the place, they immediately fell into a mess, not even taking care of eating.
"What is the current whereabouts of the mission?"
Di Yefei didn't go around in circles, and as soon as he saw Liu Yuanzong, he said directly: "Why didn't you see the envoys in Qinhan City? Didn't you pick them up?"
Di Yefei was murderous when he spoke, pressing the sword with one hand, as if Liu Yuanzong's troops would shoot directly.
Liu Yuanzong's life in the past two months was no better than Di Yefei's. Seeing that it was already late autumn, and his nose could freeze in the desert, Feng Heng took a group of people away for two months. When the news came back, he had already gone.
"The wounded and the civil servants have already been sent to Lizi Garden. If General Di wants to know the details, he can go to Lizi Garden to inquire. Duwei Feng brought supplies into the desert more than a month ago and welcomed the mission. The Hu Ben army was reluctant to leave there, and insisted on continuing to find the whereabouts of General Hua. In addition, the wind and sand in Fengcheng did not leak, and all Princess Xingping's dowries were trapped there, and they still needed to be dug up by hand, and this delay was delayed. so long."
Liu Yuanzong said with a cold face: "Beiliang is even more anxious than us, Juqupu brought something up, and Queen Meng went crazy. She took her daughter and led the guards in the palace and rushed out of the palace to find her son in the desert. So far, there is no news. The lord of Juqu sent tens of thousands of troops to search for the whereabouts of the surviving Hu Ben army in the desert. Every oasis with people has been searched, and the whereabouts of Juqu Bodhi and others have not been found."
"Beiliang sent tens of thousands of horses? Is that killing people or really looking for someone!" Di Yefei turned around with a dark face and was about to leave.
"General Di? Where are you going?"
When Liu Yuanzong saw Di Yefei pull away, he ran after him and asked.
"Go to Lizi Garden!"
Su Hejun came with a group of egret officials, of course, to find out the matter. Di Yefei went to the city guard house, but he had already learned from the spies in Qinhan City that there were many embassies in Liziyuan. The survivors of , went directly to Lizi Garden and questioned the survivors.
It's a pity that the sandstorm started so fast that everyone didn't know what was going on, and only a few close enough saw something.
"At that time, old Sangtou, the guide of the Lushuihu people, told us that we can only travel at night. Damn, I felt wrong that night. How can we travel like a ghost road? A ghostly sound..."
A soldier with a broken arm scolded: "Then we were half-tired and fell asleep when we got to the 'Windy City'. The Windy City was also told by travelers in the oasis later, that the place is a place no one wants to go, and there are sand thieves. Not to mention, there are often inexplicable winds, and the locals say there is an 'eye of the wind', so the wind comes from there, and it must go out from there..."
He rambled on for a long time, until Su Hejun was impatient, and then continued: "There were many strange things before the wind, the guide and the old man in the regiment asked us to put all the camels and horses in a circle and kneel. Come down, let us go into the circle to avoid the wind, but when the wind blows, the strong wind can blow the horse up, and the camels that did not kneel disappear all of a sudden, horses are not kneeling animals, and many horses also suffered Yang, those who didn't enter the circle were blown away."
"General Hua didn't go in? Are there no one to guard Princess Xingping and Prince Bodhi?" Su Hejun said incredulously: "How could General Hua not go in!"
"Of course General Hua went in, but Princess Xingping was blown away. He went out to save her and flew away too."
The soldier still had lingering fears when he remembered this, "The Prince Bodhi disappeared when the wind picked up, and his entire tent was swept up into the sky, and the dead soldiers sent by the Lord Juqu lost the Prince and climbed out of the sand. He committed suicide, and the Iron Guard battalion suffered heavy casualties. General Meng suffered a rib injury, pierced his lung, and he coughed up blood and died the next day at the oasis."
It does sound like a natural disaster, because it is impossible for the country of Beiliang to sacrifice so much, and even his own people are counted.
But the old Sangtou would introduce people to this place, which is indeed very suspicious.
"Where's the old Sangtou?"
"After the sandstorm passed, he also disappeared. Some people said they saw him crawling towards two camels, and then the camels and people disappeared. I suspect that he was afraid of taking responsibility and ran away depending on the situation."
"Old Sangtou is Lu Shuihu? Is it Gai Wu's subordinate?"
Su Hejun then asked questions.
"It is said to be the subordinates of Gai Wu's father, those Lushuihu people..." Another injured person scolded, "They actually said that if the old Sangtou missionary hadn't hid under the camel, everyone would have died, and they said that It must be a natural disaster, obviously there is something wrong with Old Sangtou! If it wasn't for the fact that they had been looking for General Hua in the desert, we would definitely..."
He spat, and he seemed to have a grudge against the Lushuihu people in his heart.
"You shouldn't take outsiders with you!"
"Is it windy like that? Didn't you bring other guides?"
"I brought other guides, but they all said that they have never heard of such a strong wind in the Windy City, and it is not windy every day, sometimes not once in a few months. There was no wind at all in those days, The guides thought it was all right."
These injured people feel that they are evil, and they don't know which immortal they have offended.
"Suhe-kun, the city lord here said that the team from Qinhan City went to the desert and haven't come back yet. Are we going to the desert to meet the mission?"
Di Yefei came in from outside, and when he saw Su Hejun, he immediately shouted loudly.
"I'm afraid that what Mulan and the others have encountered are both natural disasters and disasters." Su Hejun touched his chin and deduced a general idea.
"Someone has bad intentions, and the envoy introduced the wind city, but they didn't expect that the wind was so strong. So the people who should have taken advantage of Fengxing for some convenience may not get any benefits, and the loss of the envoy is even greater. It's just what they brought the mission to the Windy City for..."
Su Hejun frowned.
"Is it seeking revenge? Who can the regiment offend?"
"Sand Wind Pirates!"
A Hu Ben soldier suddenly called out.
"When we were in the oasis before, we killed a group of horse thieves to save the caravan. Those horse thieves came and went like wind in the desert, and they were very powerful. Old Sangtou was also rescued there. The caravan later returned to the north. It's cold, but Lao Sangtou stayed in the army as a guide. The master bookkeeper Yuan said that Lao Sangtou may have been the inner responder of the Sand Feng Pirates and deliberately tricked us into going there..."
"what?"
Su Hejun frowned even more.
"Is it the Sandstorm Pirate?"
The anger in Di Yefei's chest became heavier and heavier.
"Is it for the treasure brought by the mission? Or the horses? No wonder Narohun and the others are guarding near the Windy City to catch the Sandstorm Pirates?"
If it is really for the money, knowing that so many treasures are buried in the Windy City, maybe they will go back and return.
"Master Yuan said that as long as General Yihua's character is alive, he will definitely go back to Fengcheng to have a look, so General Chen Jie and General Mangu will go back to Fengcheng from time to time to investigate. If the ambassador behind it is Sha Wind thieves, they didn't expect our people to leave at all, just waiting for the rabbits in place, as long as there is a clue, they can be caught..."
One of the injured was the interpreter of the mission, "Captain Feng has been disguising the soldiers of Qinhan City as caravans to transport supplies to the Huben Army in the oasis, also to trick the sandstorms into stealing them."
"What can we do if we catch Sand Feng Pirates? Maybe Hua Mulan has already had an accident. If there is news in two months, it should have appeared long ago."
Di Yefei's face became more and more pale, and he already had a bad premonition in his heart.
"No, the star has not yet fallen, and General Hua is still alive and well."
Kou Qianzhi, who had been closing his eyes for a while, suddenly opened his eyes.
"But the old man just watched the qi, and there seems to be a red light in the west. It should be that someone important is trapped in prison. You should move faster."
Di Yefei: "Why do you only say something so important now!"
Su Hejun: "Can't the Taoist say it earlier!"
"Do you believe me when I say it?"
Kou Qianzhi blinked innocently.
