Chapter 328: The Sharp Bai Siling!

"Lord, your plan sounds feasible," Zhang Lin bowed in response He had no qualwei Training Camp had zero experience on the battlefield, that didn't reenhorns

The idea proposed was still a workable one

Xu Gan nodded proudly before abruptly turning to Wang Chong With a slight sneer, he drove his steed over

"In the operation later on, you need not follow us You should just wait at the back so that you don't drag us down"

"Fine bynodded casually His nonchalant respond left Xu Gan a little frustrated, and he felt a temptation to exert his superiority over the other party

But eventually, he still chose to hold hi didn't err, Xu Gan would have no reason to provoke or challenge hiarded seriously in thebefore beckoning for the rest of the group "Set off!"

Leading twenty cavalry down the path ard

Clopping sounds echoed fro stepped forward and asked indignantly as he gazed in the direction Xu Gan and the others had left, "Lord, why didn't you speak up against the away the bandits on the western path isn't as easy as they think If that's the case, ould have eradicated the was a member of a respected military clan, so he couldn't help but think that those other leaders were acting way too audaciously before hi waved his hands nonchalantly At thisas nothing more than a naive fool Even if he were to flash his token now, they would only think that he was trying to suppress theh his identity

Only when they hit a ould they finally reflect on their actions It wouldn't be too late for him to act by then

"Have you participated in thissuddenly turned around and asked the squad leader

"Yes, lord!" Ma Song nodded "Most of our brothers here have participated in thiswas surprised Even Lieutenant Zhang see the bandits, but Ma Song seemed to know a fair bit in comparison

"Then do you knohat the current situation is?" Wang Chong asked

Ma Song thought for a , "I am not too sure of the latest events, but for the past fewperiodic cleanups of the bandits on the road to the Western Protectorate Manor However, these cleanups tend to have a fairly long interval in between However, it seeo, there has been an unusual spike in the activity of bandits in the area"

"Oh?" Wang Chong frowned "It shouldn't be too surprising for there to be occasional fluctuations in the number of bandits in the area, should it?"

"I am not too sure of the situation, but in an operation half a o, we captured the chief of a bandit band, and according to what they said, soather the other bands together and for to their description, the person who came into contact with them was masked and possessed exceptional martial arts, but they weren't able to clearly identify his background

"Nevertheless, they said that the person possessed an extremely short stature unlike that of a typical Hu or Han On top of that, he carried the strong scent of horse milk Those are the traits of the Tibetans in the west"

"Tibetans? Ü-Tsang is quite a distance away, and Tibetans rarely leave the plateau as well, so they shouldn't be faraphy of the Central Plains It isn't likely for any Tibetans to be here," Wang Chong said

Wang Chong did possess soe of Tibetans It was true that Tibetans had a shorter stature than most Han, but that didn't hinder the ferocity of their soldiers Their reatest trademark was the scimitars they wielded, which allowed them to hack any opponent in two from the top of their steeds

Very few arainst the Tibetan cavalry as they charged down froher altitude of their plateau in wave after wave

Not even the strongest fortification war halo could guarantee an are of the Tibetans

However, it was fortunate that the Tibetans shared a trait extremely similar to the Han… a deep fondness for their own homeland

They always felt that the plateau was superior to any other land, even though the Han thought of the environed to take down a city, they would still swiftly return back to their plateau This was also the reason why even though there were Hu, Arabs, Persians, Sindhi, Goguryeon, and Nanzhao men here, there were siion

This was also the reason why Wang Chong thought that it was unlikely for the masked man to be a Tibetan as well

"I can't definitively confirm this matter, and these were indeed the words of the bandit chief then After that, the men from the Bureau of Military Personnel took hi said

There were many military officers involved in the cleanup operations, and Ma Song was just an insignificant soldier ast theeable about this matter After all, it wasn't his pri nodded as he slowly fell into deep thought

However, it wasn't too rare for there to be envoy parties in Great Tang, either

It's a pity that I don't have a pigeon here Or else, I could ask souryeons are involved in this operation, Wang Chong thought
