Let's Get Drunk First
"This subordinate brought a few brothers from the scout battalion and followed the Qiang people's hoof prints. In just two days, we caught up to this group of savages 'nest, which was about 70 miles away from the salt pans. However, when this subordinate and the others sneaked in, they realized that the building was already empty.”
Gou 'zi said.
A month ago, when the salt pans were attacked, Zhao Yiyang sent a scout unit to investigate the situation.
Gou 'zi returned to the salt pans after a day and said that the barbarians had escaped.
Zhao Yiyang ordered the scouts to find the barbarians within three days. However, the scouts only had four or five men in the desert. How could they complete the mission in three days?
After that, Zhao Yiyang was transferred to Lan Zhou City for a whole month.
During this month, they did not receive any news from the scout camp.
Zhao Yiyang had even sent Liu Bao and the others to search for him, but they had found nothing.
Unexpectedly, the scout battalion actually followed the clues and chased them all the way into the desert.
Gou 'zi used his hands and feet to point at a simple map. Then, he drew a half-moon pattern and said,""Sir, that group of barbarians is currently here. We still have a brother guarding them.”
Zhao Yiyang lowered his head and looked at it, feeling a little confused.
"What is this thing you drew?"”
"The lake."
Gou 'zi replied.
"You mean that these savages are currently stationed next to this half-moon-shaped lake, right?”
"Yes, damn it, this group of barbarians used to be called the White Horse Tribe. Later, they were afraid that our Tang border army would take revenge, so they changed it to the White Moon Tribe. Damn it, he only changed the name of the tribe, but his brothers almost broke their legs.”
"How strong is this tribe?"
"It's normal. Currently, there are about a hundred young adults, 300 to 400 women, children, the elderly and the weak, 200 to 300 cows and sheep, and 100 horses. With some food, we should be able to survive this winter.”
Zhao Yiyang nodded.
It didn't matter if they could survive the winter or not. In any case, they wouldn't be able to survive this winter.
A half-moon-shaped lake?
Damn, isn't it just Moon Lake?
He patted Gou 'zi's head and said,""Go, tell Old Zhang to start the banquet!!”
"Here!"
Gou 'zi grinned and limped out.
Just as Gou 'zi left, Li Chengqian asked,""Have you thought about what to do?"
"Just like last time, we will launch a long-distance raid and destroy them in one battle.”
Zhao Yiyang shrugged.
Hou Jie was eager to give it a try." Bring me along. It wasn't satisfying last time…"
This bastard was just like his father, a typical war fanatic.
Cheng Chumo was also eager to try, but he opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
Zhao Yiyang thought for a moment and said,"Chumo, come with me. The others won't go."”
Cheng Chumo was overjoyed.
"Why?"
Hou Jie was the first to be unhappy.
"The saltworks are related to the supplies of the 100,000-strong army in the northwest. I don't need to say more about its importance, right? Do you know why I don't often appear in the saltworks and let you take turns to guard them? Don't you know that you were demoted to Longyou? How can you return to Chang 'an without a decent contribution? But I'm worried about Chengqian alone. Brother Ren is the oldest and the most stable, so he's suitable to be the Crown Prince's assistant. You're the most noisy, so only the Crown Prince can suppress you.”
Zhao Yiyang explained patiently.
"What about us?"
Chai Lingwu jumped out.
He pointed at himself and said to Qin Huai,"We brothers are innocent.”
"Get lost. You two should learn the body refinement technique first before you chat. Do you think I don't know? You've been fishing for three days and drying your nets for two days. You've been standing in a mess for an entire month. Do you really think I don't have time to deal with you? When I came, General Chai and General Qin requested that I treat everyone equally…"
"Brother Zhangsun, your body hasn't fully recovered yet. I won't go this time."”
"I saved it."
Zhangsun Chong nodded.
"However, I'll leave these two kids to you.”
"Alright."
Chai Lingwu and Qin Huaidao's faces turned pale when they heard Zhao Yiyang and Zhangsun Chong's words.
“艹... Do you still want to live?"
"Then who are you bringing? How many people are you bringing?"
Li Chengqian asked again.
"I'll take away all my old brothers from Dongyang Castle. The other party is only a small tribe with a few hundred people, so a hundred or so people will be enough. Moreover, this place was hundreds of miles away from Moon Lake. There were no supplies along the way, and more people would only increase the burden.”
"Alright…"
Li Chengqian nodded.
"It's fine as long as you arrange it properly. Let's go and drink. Let's not care about these things. Let's get drunk first.”
