Chapter 99 The same enemy(1/2)
June 1st.
Early in the morning, Liu Mingqi and the others got up to feed the horses and cook.
When the nobles got up, they realized that the Dakang army was ready to go.
"What's wrong, Your Highness?" Fei Liding asked in surprise: "Are you... ready to go back?"
As we all know, Loulan is Liu Mingqi's last stop in the Western Regions, and then she will go directly to Jiayuguan.
It takes more than 700 miles to get to Jiayuguan from Loulan, and it can basically be reached in five days.
This time, Liu Mingqi and the others prepared to set off without warning, which made them a little exhausted and reluctant to leave.
After getting along for so close to two months, Fei Liding was a little used to traveling around Liu Mingqi and Liu Mingjing, hoping that such a happy life would last longer.
"yes!"
Liu Mingqi nodded, then raised her voice a little: "Before parting, are you interested in following us and going to see a good show?"
"What a good show? I'm going!!" The little marquis said without saying a word.
"I've watched it and promised that you will never forget for life." Riding on the horse, Liu Mingjing smiled and showed her white teeth.
"good!"
"Let's go!"
"Go together and wait for us!"
Hearing this, the nobles' children had any hesitation. They hurriedly called their guards and began to prepare happily.
The big show that both Da Kang princes talked about must be very good.
Wei Lizheng, who was inquiring, also heard this statement, but he felt a little uneasy.
According to his contact with Liu Mingqi and Liu Mingjing these few days, these two people are definitely not the ones who swallow their anger after encountering grievances.
After hearing Dong Fei’s complaints, they could never go home so easily.
In the following days, Liu Mingqi and his team trained the soldiers carefully and asked the Tubo soldiers to train with wooden grenades and hell cocktails, which further proved his idea.
Last night, Fang Lei and his friends transported a large amount of supplies, which was another proof.
When I was having breakfast that day, there was only Wei Lizheng, and there were no noble children, and they didn’t know anything.
Wei Lizheng did not make any statement, and he pulled Liu Mingqi aside, "Your Highness, are you going to go to the chariot master?"
Cheshi is in the north of Loulan.
If Liu Mingqi went back to Jiayuguan directly, she wouldn't have to go around the Cheshi.
And if Liu Mingqi was going to Cheshi, she would definitely avenge Dong Fei and the group of Dakang merchants.
Liu Mingqi looked at him, "Prince, do you want to go with us?"
"Go, why don't you?" Wei Lizheng said without thinking, "I am happy to see them learn from you."
"hehe!"
The boy patted his shoulder and whispered: "Remember, you are invited by us to see the show, you don't know anything."
"Your Highness..."
Wei Lizheng's heart was thrilled. What else was he trying to ask? Liu Mingqi had already integrated into the team.
Wei Lizheng returned to Ouyang Jian's side. At this time, Ouyang Jian had signed the horse, and the thousands of white horse soldiers behind him also started queuing in line.
"Wait a minute." Wei Lizheng remembered Liu Mingqi's words just now and ordered: "Just one hundred people follow me."
"Prince!"
The captain of the personal soldiers next to him was anxious, "How can you do it?"
Wei Lizheng smiled, "With Dakang's Iron Cavalry here, what are you still worried about?"
"But……"
"Okay, if they are useless, you thousand people may not be able to escape." Wei Lizheng said: "Don't worry, it's okay!"
The captain of the personal soldiers left with a blushing face.
He was ashamed but could not refute Wei Lizheng's words.
Since the 900 people were defeated by the 100 Kang imperial guards that day, this group of white horse soldiers who usually coquettishly think they are invincible in the Western Regions have no temper at all.
Ouyang Jian asked with a smile, "How is it, prince, it's time for them to set off for revenge?"
"Well, it should be." Wei Lizheng's head was.
He just discussed this matter with Ouyang Jian.
"It seems that this incident is a bit big." Ouyang Jian said, "The Cheshiren may be in great trouble this time."
"Yes!" Wei Lizheng shook his head, "It's their worthy."
"right!"
Ouyang Jian thought about it and did not tell Wei Lizheng about his guess.
Wei Lizheng is relatively soft by nature and must have never imagined such a cruel way. Besides, Liu Mingqi and the others don’t have to do this.
...
Loulan and Cheshi are two countries side by side.
The area and population are similar, and even the cities are the same five, and the names are the same.
But the relationship between the two sides is not very good, and there is often a little friction, but because of their size, the battle cannot be fought.
The Western Qiang and the Uighurs would not allow them to fight, as this would greatly affect the Western Regions' trade routes.
Once there are no businessmen doing business, where do their money come from?
In terms of business credit and policy, Loulan is far better than Cheshi.
Therefore, Che Master was also envious of Loulan.
The west city from Loulan Xicheng to Cheshi is only more than 300 miles away.
Because there is no baggage, all of them are extra horses carrying supplies, at most hundreds of carriages carrying various parts of hot air balloons.
The Dakang army is not afraid of any army raids.
It's amazing that as long as they can abandon these burdens and rely on fighting alone to fight, they are not afraid of even if there are 50,000 elite troops on the other side.
But who dares to take huge risks to raid Liu Mingqi?
When there were 3,000 people in the past, it was useless to surround and block more than 100,000 people.
Now they have nearly 6,000 people!
So, after two days of itinerary, the Dakang army directly passed through Cheshi West City, and five days later, they arrived twenty miles north of Cheshi East City.
After entering Cheshi, the army of Cheshi was actually following along the way.
They did not contact the Dakang army, nor did they have the limit of attack, because they were only about two or three thousand people staring at, and they were divided into several directions.
It seems to exist just for the purpose of reporting.
Cheshi Dongcheng is the city on the easternmost side of Cheshi.
When they followed their chariot cavalry all the way, they thought that the Dakang army was just passing by.
Even in the afternoon, the Dakang army had already set up camp to prepare for rest, and the Cheshi army was not very surprised or alert.
But by the morning of the next day, the situation was different.
The Dakang army got up very early, boiled water and cooked, fed horses and sorted out the ordnance.
On the grassland in summer, it was already dawn at the 00s of Yin in the morning, which was 3-5.
So the surveillance chariot and cavalrymen quickly discovered this abnormality.
Because they had normal schedules a few days ago, and they were definitely not so early.
The next moment, something even more wrong happened.
The people of Dakang opened the camp, and when the cavalry came out on horseback, they were covered in armor.
It is clear what the cavalry wearing armor represents.
A group of surveillance cavalrymen left and started running towards Cheshi East City.
But strangely, the Dakang army did not head to Cheshi East City, but came to a valley less than two miles away.
In this valley, the soldiers who came over early dug out piles of corpses that had become mummies.
The corpses were wearing Dakang's clothes, but this looked a little scary, and the nobles who followed him were frightened.
Several people screamed.
Most of them don’t know what Liu Mingqi brought people here with such a big fanfare.
But Wei Lizheng and Ouyang Jian looked at each other, with a clear idea in their eyes. Of course they knew what the corpse was here.
