Chapter 468 Greetings to Your Mother
In a hurry, he stumbled and fell off the bed.
Chen Changan sat quietly on the ground, looked up, and saw that the sun was already high in the sky. Damn... Fortunately it was just a dream.
The noise here made by Chen Changan had already alarmed the people outside the door, and a Xixia man rushed in.
Chen Changan was unable to react at all. He thought the Xixia people were coming so quickly, so he immediately took out his pistol and turned on the safety!
"Captain, don't shoot, it's me!"
After hearing that person's voice, Chen Changan stopped getting angry.
Old Ma wore a leather felt hat on his head with a slightly curled brim decorated with colorful silk threads and animal bones. It swayed gently as he moved, adding a touch of exotic flavor.
He was wearing a coarse cloth robe, the color of which had long since become mottled due to the erosion of wind and sand, but it was still neat and tidy.
He wore a wide leather belt around his waist, inlaid with a piece of polished amber, which served as both a decoration and a symbol of his status.
On one side of the belt hung a sharp scimitar, the scabbard of which was engraved with mysterious runes. The blade was slightly unsheathed, shining coldly, as if whispering the blood it had drunk.
"Lao Ma, why are you dressed like this?" Chen Changan rolled his eyes at Lao Ma.
"There's nothing we can do. We brought everything except clothes when we came out. Find some to wear."
Old Ma chuckled: "After we got up this morning, we were discussing that we were on Xixia's territory, so we should wear their clothes and pass them off as real people."
"They can certainly see it during the day, but they definitely can't see it at night."
Chen Changan was stunned. What a good idea.
He immediately agreed to this suggestion, and the four thousand soldiers immediately went everywhere to look for the clothes, and put them on regardless of whether they fit or not.
Chen Changan was wearing a felt hat on his head. When he saw the soldiers, he couldn't help laughing out loud.
You know what, they really look like Xixia people.
After staying here for two days, Chen Yuwei finally came back.
She probably reported the situation to Chen Changan. There was only one main fact, which was that what Li Yuanhao said was correct. Qionglusha City was indeed a transit station, and the one guarding there was Wudao Chong Suhe.
Chen Changan immediately met Li Yuanhao, raised his eyebrows and said, "Li Yuanhao, I believe you."
Li Yuanhao shook his head: "Master Chen, I know my identity, maybe... hehe, you still won't believe me."
Chen Changan nodded and chuckled: "I have a plan that can help you take over Qionglu Sand City."
"Oh?"
Chen Changan shook his head and chuckled. This time it was good. He didn’t even have to use his brain.
"We can set off immediately, under the pretext of delivering war horses to Qionglu Sand City, and try to arrive there tonight. Then..."
Li Yuanhao told his plan in detail.
Chen Changan didn't comment, just smiled.
"Then let's do as you said. Let's go to Qionglu Sand City to meet that guy. That guy is suitable for that."
"Wudaochong? Suhe."
Chen Changan smiled and immediately ordered the entire army to set off.
There are quite a few war horses in Heishui City. In addition to those ridden by more than four thousand soldiers, there are still four or five thousand horses. Chen Changan ordered his soldiers to drive them and set off from Heishui City.
A Chu army was advancing slowly.
It is only 150 miles from Heishui City to Qionglusha City. To be honest, if you run on a fast horse, it will only take two hours at most.
But if they met Su He during the day, wouldn’t the Chu army be exposed?
You know, Su He has many spies in this area. If you are not careful, the whole plan will fail.
Therefore, the Chu army walked very slowly. Every soldier looked cautious, lowered the brims of their hats, and tried not to attract the attention of others.
But Li Yuanhao gave advice: This is the territory of the Xixia people, and the people there are tough. The more low-key you are, the more likely you are to get into trouble. Be a little crazier, even crazier!
So this is the way it has to be!
Acting arrogant is not the character of the people of Da Chu, but when you come to Xixia, you have to adapt to the local customs, right?
The cautious expressions on the soldiers' faces disappeared, replaced by joy. They shouted and roared loudly!
The sound echoed in the vast desert, startling flocks of roosting sand birds.
When he met the occasional Xixia woman, he would tease her from time to time with a frivolous smile on his face, completely losing his previous cautiousness.
They spoke Xixia language, saying "Nizuli, Bo'erlimeole" all the way as they moved forward arrogantly.
You know what, although we encountered several waves of scouts from other cities on the way, no one came to ask questions when they saw them like this.
The war horses neighed and the wind howled.
The Chu army slowly moved towards the Qionglu Sand City in the flying dust, and their rolling figures gradually blurred at the end of the desert.
"After a whole day of marching, everyone is tired. Let's rest and eat."
Chen Changan chuckled, and all the soldiers shook their heads.
I basically spent the whole day wandering around the territory of Western Xia. It wasn't tiring, but I was hungry and it was time to replenish my food.
This is exactly what Chen Changan meant. There will be a big battle in the evening.
By this time it was already getting dark. The young man was busy riding the warhorse. Chen Changan had people eat and clean up. It was impossible to tell whether they were Xixia people or not.
Chen Changan nodded slightly to Lao Ma, and Lao Ma waved and set off.
The war is about to begin, and a depressing atmosphere hangs over the team.
"Master Chen, look, this is Qionglu Sand City."
Qionglu Sand City is like a giant beast lurking in the depths of the desert, majestic and powerful.
The city wall is built of huge brown rocks, with watchtowers standing at orderly intervals on the wall, like the eyes of a giant beast, always vigilantly watching the surroundings.
The sentinels in the watchtowers wore tough leather armor and carried sharp longbows.
His eyes were stern, not missing any movement.
The city gate is tall and heavy, made of a mixture of iron and wood, and inlaid with rows of sharp iron nails.
Chen Changan was silent, and the entire team fell silent.
The Xixia people had already discovered the whereabouts of this team and shouted in Xixia language: "What are you doing? Stop, or I will shoot you!"
In order to show off, Li Yuanhao walked out and said, "Don't shoot arrows, we are here to give you provisions and war horses!"
"Wudaochong? Where is General Suhe?"
"Come out and receive it!"
The Xixia people hurriedly reported that Wudao Chongsuhe appeared on the top of the city wall like a god of war.
Chen Changan looked forward. Wado Chong Suhe was not particularly old, and his robe fluttered, revealing his heroic spirit.
Exquisite runes were embroidered on the clothes with gold thread, and the red tassel on the top of the helmet stood upright like a burning flame, dancing in the wind, as if carrying endless fighting spirit.
The cheek guards hanging down from both sides of the helmet protected his angular face, but could not hide his eyes that were as sharp as cold stars.
After hearing a few shouts from the other side, Li Yuanhao reported: "Master Chen, that is Wudao Chong Suhe."
"I know."
"He said that he had not received any request for troop movements, and Prince Chishiya said that no one could enter the city after dark."
Li Yuanhao gritted his teeth and said, "In a word, let's go back."
"Go back? After a whole day of preparation, can we still go back?"
Chen Changan shook his head and chuckled, rode his horse to the front of the team and spoke loudly.
"Nizuli, Boerli is not lying!"
Greetings to your mother!
