After the system ran, I took off with my family

Chapter 364 Tang Chengying's Request

When Tang Chengying opened it, he found that it was a secret letter written by the current emperor.

The content of the letter had nothing to do with the Turks, but was related to the extraordinary young heroine mentioned by Captain Li.

In the secret letter, the emperor asked him whether the young heroine who caught the bandits was named Lin Shuyue, was in her teens, and was accompanied by two followers.

If so, when you encounter a difficult situation, you can go to the girl and ask for help, but don't force her.

Whether she agrees or not, you shouldn't blame her.

The secret letter also emphasized that Miss Lin's methods and skills were extraordinary and she should not be offended easily.

But just a few words made him feel surprised and curious.

What was surprising was that Miss Lin actually caught the emperor's eye, and what made him curious was where she came from that made the emperor protect her so much.

Speaking of tricky things, Tang Chengying really has one. He has been worried about it for several days.

So, out of curiosity and at the same time wanting to ask for help, he brought Captain Li and Xie Yi to visit.

"So that's how it is." After listening to Tang Chengying's explanation, Lin Shuyue suddenly understood.

But the emperor trusts her too much.

Anything that the General of the Zhenbei Army finds difficult must be a military affair. How could a commoner like her know this?

Thinking of her, she looked at Tang Chengying, but saw that he was looking at her, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Lin Shuyue smiled and said bluntly, "General, if you have anything to say, please speak frankly."

Seeing her straightforwardness, Tang Chengying immediately got straight to the point: "Miss Ayue, we came here this time because we do have something we would like to ask for your help."

"General, please speak." Lin Shuyue raised her hand to signal.

"This story begins with the second-in-command of the bandits that the girl captured.

That day, Captain Li brought the man back to the barracks and immediately interrogated him, and learned from him..."

Tang Chengying revealed the whole story of the transaction between the Duanguiling bandits and the Turks.

After he finished speaking, his expression suddenly became serious, and even Captain Li and General Xie beside him restrained their expressions.

Tang Chengying continued, "After learning of this, we sent people to investigate the Turkic army and the captured merchants.

After some investigation by the scouts, they found the Turkic camp thirty miles northwest of the front of the pass.

The garrison was quite large, with about 5,000 soldiers and horses, and the man leading these 5,000 soldiers was General Babugan, who had fought against us twice before.

According to the scouts' secret reconnaissance, there were always five Turkic soldiers guarding one of the tents day and night, and only people delivering food were allowed to enter and exit the tent.

Our people deduced that the captured merchants were most likely imprisoned in this tent.

After the scouts brought back the news, I sent a thousand elite soldiers to the base quietly to find a way to rescue the merchants.

Unexpectedly, these 1,000 elite soldiers disappeared without a trace, and even the scouts we had sent out before disappeared without a trace."

Having said this, Tang Chengying stopped and looked at Xie Yi beside him.

General Xie took over the conversation and said in a deep voice, "Later, the general ordered me to lead a group of elite soldiers to go there in person. Before we arrived at the garrison, we happened to encounter several Turkic soldiers.

After we captured them alive and interrogated them, we found out that these people were messengers under the second prince of the Turkic Khanate, Ashina Bal.

These messengers were originally supposed to deliver the second prince's order to the Turkic general Babugan stationed there, instructing them to capture as many people from the Great Zhou as possible and bring them back to the station.

The most crucial thing is that they learned from these two people that the second prince of the Turkic Khanate, Ashina Bal, was personally leading 50,000 Turkic troops towards Yangcheng Pass.

According to calculations, the Turkic army should be less than five days' journey from Yangcheng Pass."

"Therefore, before the Turkish army arrives, we must rescue those merchants and prevent them from becoming a hindrance in our battle against the Turkish army."

General Tang stood up suddenly and looked at Lin Shuyue with a scorching gaze.

He clasped his hands together and bowed deeply: "I beg Miss A Yue to lend a hand and help us rescue the people of our Great Zhou."

Captain Li and General Xie also stood up and bowed.

"That's not necessary, General."

Lin Shuyue quickly dodged the greeting, then looked at the three of them with a determined gaze and said solemnly, "With foreign enemies at hand, as a citizen of the Great Zhou, it is truly my honor to be able to contribute to the country. I am willing to obey the general's orders."

Hearing this, General Tang excitedly took a step forward. He looked at Lin Shuyue with relief and admiration in his eyes, "Your Majesty was right in choosing me."

However, this young girl in her teens has the interests of the country in her heart. No wonder the emperor trusts and values ​​her so much.

Even the taciturn General Xie and Captain Li were shocked when they heard these words.

Lin Shuyue gestured with her hand, "General, why don't we sit down and talk in detail?"

"Okay, sit down and talk, sit down and talk." General Tang sat back on the stone bench and motioned General Xie and Captain Li to sit down.

After sitting down, Lin Shuyue asked about the specific situation of the Turkic garrison.

General Tang shook his head and sighed. The thousand elite soldiers and scouts he had sent out earlier had all lost contact.

Later, Xie Yi led his troops forward, but hurried back to the military camp because of the news he learned from the Turkic messenger soldiers.

Therefore, they did not know the details of the situation, only their location and the approximate number of soldiers and horses.

Lin Shuyue expressed his guess: "General, in my opinion, the Turkic army must have anticipated that our people would go to rescue those merchants.

Therefore, they are very likely to have set up an ambush at the base, waiting for our people to jump in.

This would explain why the elite troops sent out earlier never returned."

The 1,000 elite soldiers of the Zhenbei Army faced off against the 5,000 Turkic Army. At the very least, it was impossible for no one to survive.

General Tang nodded and said gravely, "We also suspected the same thing, so we dare not send anyone there rashly."

"In that case, why don't I sneak into the enemy's base and find out the situation." Lin Shuyue thought for a moment and suggested.

When General Tang heard this, he immediately waved his hand in disapproval, "It's too dangerous for you to go alone. If something goes wrong, there won't even be anyone to help you."

At this moment, Xie Yi suddenly said, "General, why don't you let me go with Miss A Yue?"

Without waiting for General Tang to speak, Lin Shuyue said, "How about this, I will sneak into the enemy's camp to find out the situation, and General Xie will lead his men to ambush around the camp.

After I have investigated the situation at the garrison, I will discuss with General Xie how to proceed."

"This..." General Tang and General Xie looked at each other, somewhat hesitant.

"You don't have to worry about my safety. It's no exaggeration to say that if I wanted to, I could escape unscathed even from a 100,000-man army camp."

Lin Shuyue gave them a reassurance.
