Li Chengqian glanced at Yue Wei and then had someone bring him down to treat his injuries.
Since his body had recovered, he couldn't let Liang shi have it easy.
Even though this place was safe for the time being, there were so many people living here. There was no guarantee that Liang Shidu would come looking for them one day.
Li Chengqian decided to take the initiative to attack.
He went outside to take a look at the Wei Army and the Red Hare Horse and found that they had almost recovered.
He had Yue Wei and Deputy General Han bring 150 soldiers to continue protecting the people here. When the time was right, they would leave Qiang Land and return to Chang 'an. Li Chengqian brought 100 soldiers and sneaked out under the cover of the night.
In order to prevent the Qiang people from following them to find the location of the army, Li Chengqian and the others walked all the way. After they had explored about twenty miles, they mounted their horses and galloped.
After Li Chengqian and his group left, they galloped on their horses.
They had not stopped since dawn. Li Chengqian saw that everyone was showing signs of fatigue.
Looking at the sky, it was already noon. However, the dark clouds were rolling, and it looked like the sky would change at any moment.
Li Chengqian put his hand on the awning and looked forward, but he could only see a vast expanse of snow.
"Yue Shan, bring me the map."
Yue Shan was the captain of the Back Wei Army. He responded and rode over. He took out a piece of leather from his chest. This was the detailed map that the Back Wei Army had collected.
There were many winding routes drawn on it. Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes and looked at it for a while. He put away the map and said,"Everyone, hurry up. There seems to be a valley ahead…Looking at the sky, there might be a storm. We must reach the col. before the storm appears, to avoid the snow.”
Just like that, everyone started running again.
It was very difficult for a horse to run in the snow.
The ground was slippery, and horses would often stumble, causing some warhorses to be forced to give up midway.
Fortunately, the Wei Army had prepared two horses for each person.
Therefore, even though they had lost more than ten horses, it did not cause much of a problem.
Before noon, they found the col.
The snowstorm finally arrived, and the entire world became unclear.
Li Chengqian let the rest and eat while he climbed up the hill with Yue Shan.
Looking around, the plain in the storm had a cold and murderous aura.
Li Chengqian was expressionless as he stood motionlessly on the hill. The black cloak on his body fluttered in the wind.
After standing for a while, just as the two of them turned around, Yue Wei suddenly stopped and turned around to look.
"What's wrong?"
Yue Shan listened attentively and said,"Your Highness, did you hear anything?”
"Voice?"
Li Chengqian shook his head and said,"I didn't hear anything!"”
"It's the neigh of horses…coming from that direction, and there seems to be quite a number of them.”
Li Chengqian listened attentively and really heard a little unusual movement. It was the sound of a horse neighing. It was faint and very weak.
Coupled with the howling of the wind, the originally unclear neigh of the horse was completely covered up.
If it wasn't for Yue Shan's good ears, Li Chengqian really wouldn't care. However, who would be hurrying in such a blizzard?
"Bring a few people over to take a look!"
"Yes, sir!"
Yue Shan immediately ran down the hill and called for a few people in the valley before running in the direction of the neighing.
They didn't ride horses, but walked. They left footprints on the snow, but they were quickly covered by the storm.
Li Chengqian hurried down the hill and gathered his men to await orders.
After about half an incense's time, Yue Shan returned with his men.
They also captured a captive. He looked like a Qiang person, but he was different from the Qiang people Li Chengqian had seen before.
After Li Chengqian interrogated him, he found out that this person was actually from one of the 36 Qiang Tribes. He was actually here to deliver rations to Liang Shidu.
"Haha, it seems like Liang Shidu really wants us dead. Why should we be polite?”
Li Chengqian laughed loudly and immediately gathered his troops. He decided to first seize the rations and kill the enemy.
