Chapter 65: The Rangers

The officialdom of the Tang Dynasty was not a pool of clear water, and you could see it at a glance. Most of the new emperors ascended the throne and would support two or three parties, and the parties were fighting each other, and the power and skills were checked and balanced. The emperor was willing to see it, and the ministers below were happy to do it.

If there are parties and disputes, there will be victims.

Thinking about the history of General Yunhui who resounded throughout Mobei, he became a victim of the Tang Dynasty's party struggles. Now he can only be a fifth-rank cavalry general in this Mobei, with thousands of miscellaneous troops, running around all day long, sleeping in the open, and where the past is still there.

The general was indignant in the early years, and over the years, he was gradually smoothed out by the wind and sand on the Gobi Desert in the northern desert.

However, when there was no one, I still liked my personal guards to call him: "General Yunhui!"

Unfortunately, Shi Zhiming now has the biggest battle he has ever seen, which is fighting with two groups of horse thieves. As long as there is a battle, he will be very happy. Now, when he heard that the Turkic cavalry arrived outside the Wandering Soul Castle, he ran over in a hurry.

He couldn't wait for the orders from the Imperial Capital's military headquarters. After the imperial capital's orders were transmitted to Mobei, he would have been able to prepare some food, grass and supplies for the military camps. Perhaps at that time, before they could even get out, the people of the Wandering Soul Castle would have to be displaced and moved their heads.

Fortunately, he is now a Ranger General. The military headquarters does not love him, and his soldiers are not considered regular Tang army. He does whatever he likes. However, few of the military leaders in the imperial capital like him, but few of them are willing to offend him, so happy and free.

Two hundred spies were sent out by him to find horse thieves in the Gobi Desert. Now every horse thief is a living force.

Otherwise, how could he have grown from less than a thousand miscellaneous troops who had just arrived in Mobei to four or five thousand over the years?

Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer horse thieves in Mobei. With the strong support of the Tang Dynasty, the Wandering Soul Castle has risen rapidly. The horse thieves who were unable to make a living in the Wandering Soul Castle have long been living in the Wandering Soul Castle.

Shi Bianming stopped drinking, and the miscellaneous army in the rolling yellow sand behind him also stopped with the orders of the previous few personal soldiers.

The general was nearly fifty years old, and the flesh on his face was trembling under the bumps of the horse's back. He turned around and looked at the soldiers behind him and smiled.

Although it was a miscellaneous army, the imperial capital had no military equipment to allocate, and even had to find a way to eat. But this general still maintained these miscellaneous army for so many years. The family he had won in his early years had been in trouble over the years.

This Ranger General loves to joke with these veterans of the miscellaneous army: "Believe it or not, we can only beat the regular army raised by the Tang Dynasty to the point of being beaten."

Most veterans and oil students will agree with one or two: "Yes, don't look at whose soldiers it is."

Every time he heard this, Shi Bianming was so happy that he couldn't stop talking.

The reason why he ordered his soldiers to stop moving forward was because he had seen a horse thief village ahead. Shi Ming had already incorporated nearly 300 horse thieves on the way. According to his estimate, the village in front of him should be the last horse thief that he could meet before entering the Wandering Soul Castle.

There are naturally many horse thieves in Mobei, but he can't have all been incorporated, right? Moreover, the Turkic barbarians have been there for two or three days. Who knows when they will suddenly attack? The war will not wait for anyone.

He gave his personal guard a wink, and Shi Bianming walked forward with his horse.

The personal guard understood the general's meaning. He had been following him for so many years. If he couldn't even understand this, he would have been kicked behind as a fire-headed army.

Several personal guards led a team of people and rushed to the bottom of the village in a hurry.

From a distance, they heard the sound of drums beating from the village looking out from the building.

"Haha, it's quite lively." Ma Daiming, who saw the situation in the village, was so happy now.

Looking at this glance, when the drums sounded in the building, at least a 200-digit horse thief ran out, which was almost the same as the number of horse thieves he had worked hard along the way.

"What's the name of this village?" Ma Binming asked the personal guards beside him.

"General, this village is called Xujiabao. It has existed for many years. It is an old village. However, I heard that this village had many people lost to it a few days ago. Now it seems that it is mostly fake."

"Yes!" Shi Bianming nodded and raised his whip: "No matter whether he is true or false, I have seen these people now. They are my sons under my Ranger General. Do you know?"

"I understand, little." The guard hurriedly bowed and replied.

Shi Bianming, who was riding on the horse's back, gently squeezed the horse's belly, and the horse under his crotch slowly walked forward.

A few people in the village seemed to be in charge. They climbed up to the viewing tower and took a few glances, then hurriedly ran down.

After a while, several more managers finally climbed up to the watchtower.

After swallowing, Xu Dabao frowned and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead: "It's so damn it's a turbulent time. Could it be that those Turkic barbarians have broken the Wandering Soul Castle and are here to fight?"

"The boss, look at the flags like our Tang Dynasty army." The second boss behind him was the horse thief with a long sword. He glanced at the distance and replied: "However, I see that the equipment standards of this group of people are not much better than ours."

"Miscellaneous Army?" Xu Dabao probably understood what the second leader meant: "Would you like to attack our village? Hurry up and call me brothers and prepare for the guys."

Before the second in commander could send the message, a feather arrow was inserted straight into the Lookout Tower.

Outside the village, two soldiers dressed in decent clothes ran up and shouted loudly: "We are the Rangers, please ask the village to be in charge and come out to answer our general, otherwise we will attack the village."

The feather arrow was still trembling slightly in front of the building. Xu Dabao was so scared that he almost fell down the building. Fortunately, the few people behind him hurriedly supported him.

"The boss,..."

"I'll go, you guys watch here." Xu Dabao gasped for a few breaths. He was afraid of death, but now he has become the leader of the village. Last time, he finally impressed his horse thieves. When he retreats, he will definitely be looked down upon by them.

After a while, Xu Dabao walked out of the village tremblingly. He pretended to be calm and stabbed the knife in his hand on the sand in front of him: "I am the boss of this village, and I will call you generals out."

"What are your name?" Shi Bianming, who was riding on the horse, passed several shouting guards and raised the whip at Xu Dabao.

"In the Xujiabao leader Xu Dabao." Xu Dabao raised his neck at Shi Bianming.

"Well, I didn't expect there would be a horse thief who is as brave as you. It's not bad. I like you very much. I decided to temporarily recruit your village today and give you a captain." Shi Bianming didn't like to hide, so he came up and said serious things.

"What?" Xu Dabao's face shook a few times, and he sniffed, making sure he had heard it right.

"Are you okay?" Shi Bianming seemed to have no patience and shouted again: "If you don't, then you will pull out your village. Anyway, when the Wandering Soul Castle is broken, you will have to fall into the hands of the Turkic barbarians. It's better to follow me, maybe you can get a good background."

As soon as he said this, Xu Dabao was completely stunned. Shi Ming seemed to be threatening them, but every word was reasonable. Even if they could avoid these miscellaneous armies, the Turkic barbarians could not escape.

Xu Dabao didn't dare to agree at once, and quietly looked back at the horse thieves in the village, especially those in charge of the house. At this moment, they were mostly confused. Xu Dabao was a smart person, smart people knew the current affairs.

"It's up." Xu Dabao withdrew his knife and fisted at Shi Bianming: "But those who don't want to go to my village, you have to raise your hands and let them go."

"Well, I don't want to follow me, so I will definitely not force it." Shi Bianming agreed.

"Okay." Xu Dabao said, turning his body to go back to the village. Before he could reach the gate, Shi Bianming slapped it in the air.

"Hehe, Fatty Xu, right? I like you guys, you will definitely not be able to escape. Also, this is the time to burn your butts. You have to give me at least two hundred people." Shi Bianming said at Xu Dabao, and his saliva flew around.

Although Xu Dabao was a fat man, in Shi Dianming's hand, even a chick might not be considered a chicken. He wiped the saliva from his face with his hand, and Xu Dabao nodded aggrievedly.

He thought to himself that this Ranger General was afraid that he had no ignorant eyes, and that his careful thought was discovered by the general as soon as he started.
