Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

As the team advanced, the soldier who was originally at the end soon discovered something unusual behind him.

They didn't understand that they were obviously at the end of the queue, so why did there suddenly appear to be such a large group of people?

"Hey, where are you from and why are you following us?"

One of the captains couldn't help but asked the question first.

"Hey, brother, we are the defenders of Mingde Gate. Didn't His Majesty the Emperor just say that we should follow you out of the city to wipe out the rebels?"

A general hurriedly stepped forward and explained.

Seeing that this general who was several levels higher than him actually stood up and explained to himself, the captain who asked the question only felt his anus tighten, and then he immediately saluted and said:

"I've seen adults."

General Pian waved his hand:

"Don't stop, we are now wearing sin. If this time is okay, if you find a little pool, I am afraid that we can go back all the time, it is two saying."

After hearing what the other party said, the captain immediately sighed.

well. .That's what it's like to follow an unreliable general.

Then, his eyes suddenly focused, and he pointed to the back of the team, where the troops wearing different costumes asked again:

"Those people don't seem to be with you, right? Where did they come from, and why are there so many of them?"

Following the captain's hand, the commander immediately discovered the group of soldiers following his own team.

So he immediately stepped forward, pressed down the opponent's fingers, and said cautiously:

"Brother, can I call you eldest brother? Can we please stop pointing fingers?"

"You know who they are, and you dare to point fingers at them?"

Seeing that General Zhang was so nervous, the captain was no fool. He immediately felt nervous and asked nervously:

"We are following His Majesty on the expedition. Could it be that their status is higher than ours? What kind of incredible team are they?"

Pian Jiang looked at the other party as if he was a countryman who had never seen the world, and said disdainfully:

"If we are His Majesty the Emperor's personal soldiers, then we are His Majesty the Emperor's personal bodyguards."

"Those people are all Beiya Imperial Guards. They are masters who came out of the Imperial City. Their status is only slightly worse than Qianniu Guards."

When he heard that he was from the Beiya Imperial Guards, the captain immediately shut up, then looked at the general with gratitude and said:

"Thank you for your advice, sir. Otherwise, I would have been in big trouble just now."

After saying that, he carefully glanced at the army behind him, then immediately turned his head to the side, not daring to peep again.

Soon, the news that there was a group of Beiya Imperial Guards behind the team supervising the battle reached the ears of the troops in front.

Everyone thought that this was specially assigned by His Majesty the Emperor, who was worried about another accident, and had no doubts.

At this time, Chu Mo was hiding in the team, listening to the reports from all sides, laughing secretly in his heart.

He personally arranged for the old, weak, sick and disabled people who were at Mingdemen before.

Originally, after Cui Yingying left Chang'an, he also wanted to escape with her.

It can be thought that he has nearly ten thousand soldiers under his command, but he has less than a hundred war horses.

He knew that if he just escaped like this, not to mention the problem of food and grass, he would definitely not be able to match the speed of the chasing team. He would soon be overtaken by Li Shimin and his men, and then hacked to death in the wilderness.

For this reason, he decided to take a risk.

So, after seeing Zhang Taixin abandoning his car to protect his commander, he arranged the scene at the city gate.

He wanted to use the old, weak, sick and disabled to arouse Li Shimin's compassion, and then, justifiably, secretly follow their team to secretly assassinate Chen Cang.

With the rapid march of the team, the army soon moved away from Chang'an.

Under Chu Mo's deliberate arrangement, the soldiers under his command were hanging far behind the team, neither following nor leaving the team, which made people feel itchy.

However, since this team was all pieced together, no one knew where they belonged, and among Chu Mo's army, there were a large number of Beiya Imperial Guards.

Before they figured out their root cause, no one wanted to touch this bad luck, so they just turned a blind eye and ignored it.

As for Li Shimin, as an emperor, how could he care about the march of the troops behind him? What he was most concerned about now was to quickly catch up with the traitor Zhang Taixin and then cut him into pieces.

Then, it was time to catch up with Qiwang's team from the fifth surname and capture Cui Yingying alive.

No matter what, he could not let the people of the Five Surnames and Qiwang return to their ancestral land, otherwise there would be endless troubles.

In the evening, when it was about to get dark, the scouts from the front came to report that the rebels were less than 20 miles away from their side and were preparing to set up camp.

After looking at the exhausted soldiers behind him, Li Shimin thought for a while and did not order to continue the pursuit. Instead, he asked everyone to rest where they were, eat some dry food, and regain their strength.

He decided that when night falls tonight, he will lead a team of troops to attack the camp directly and defeat the opponent in one fell swoop. This will make it much easier to deal with them again.

At the same time, Zhang Taixin, who was fleeing in a hurry, also received a report from this scout, saying that a large army was following behind him. From the looks of it, it was obviously coming for him.

The moment he heard the news, he knew that the person behind him must be Li Shimin.

He never expected that the other party would be so fast.

However, when he learned that Li Shimin had already set up camp and seemed not to pursue him anymore, Li Ke's alarm bell rang loudly in his heart.

Regarding this Emperor, he had heard a lot of rumors when he followed Li Junxian.

Rumor has it that His Majesty the Emperor appears to be kind-hearted and broad-minded on the outside, but on the inside he is a man who cannot rub the sand and is determined to retaliate.

The opponent was about to catch up with him, but now he suddenly stopped to rest. This was obviously a night attack.

Thinking of this, he rolled his eyes and immediately had an idea.

If you want to attack a local area at night, you will definitely not bring too many men and horses, and you must choose to do it at night.

In this case, why not make arrangements as soon as possible?

Li Shimin, who didn't know that Zhang Taixin had discovered his plan, ordered the entire army to rest and began to reorganize his troops.

He had all the war horses of the general gathered together in preparation for the night attack.

After receiving the order from His Majesty the Emperor, all the soldiers cooperated and took the initiative to turn in their horses. Naturally, Chu Mo's rear army was no exception.

Two-thirds of the few hundred horses they had were confiscated.

This is because they are the Beiya Forbidden Army.

If so, according to Li Shimin's words, all horses must be turned in unless necessary.

And it was this move that let Chu Mo and the others know that the other party was about to make a big move.

So, while Li Shimin and Zhang Taixin were preparing their own preparations, Chu Mo also began to give orders for his men to start preparations.

He wants a mantis to catch the cicada and the oriole behind.
