Chapter 394

The sun is burning in the sky, and the flame mountain is like the alchemy furnace kicked down by the monkey king from the heaven, emitting layers of heat waves almost visible to the naked eye.

Gaochang city is surrounded by Flame Mountain, just like a steamer.

Qin Shubao's golden dagger sits in the capital's palace, printing in his left hand and waving in his right hand. He is constantly busy criticizing and processing the copies.

A man of the highest level of martial arts like him, whose heart is as clear as ice, is not frightened by the collapse of the sky. Even if he turns back, his face will not change. At the moment, although he was sweating and wet inside and outside, he was still calm.

It's been more than half a month since I was stationed in Dadu Prefecture, and everything is normal. The local subjects of Gaochang, even below the king, did not show too much hostility and abnormality. The initial worry and haze gradually faded, and the work of Du Fu gradually went on the right track.

As usual, most of Qin Shubao's guards were like this. After the morning discussion, they criticized and dealt with military affairs, government affairs and civil affairs. In the afternoon, they went out of the city to inspect the military parade in the Tang army camp, and in the evening, they stayed in Gaochang palace.

The two clerks, who were waiting for Mo, were sweating all over without exception. But let the sweat on the face into a stream, there is no need to take into account. General Qin Shubao has always been serious and resolute, but he has no heart to do business. The officers and generals who followed him had to be meticulous.

Today, however, the left and right officials found that Qin Shubao, a free and easy veteran, was slower than before, as if he had more heart than he could. Moreover, when I finished writing several times, my face didn't have the ruddy luster of the past.

"Marshal, are you tired? Are you sick? " He asked.

"Well, maybe it's a little bit acclimatized." Qin Shubao drank a cup of tea and said, "finish cooking these discount books as soon as possible, and go out of the city in the afternoon to send food to Xue Rengui. It's too hard for our soldiers to stay outside the city. These two days, I'll try to get some medicine soup for relieving summer heat, and send it to them as soon as possible. "

"Yes, marshal." Left and right should be a voice, their hearts sigh. This time, he followed Qin Shubao to Gaochang. It can be said that he has suffered a lot. It's needless to say that in the last time we successfully conquered Gaochang, we still have to live outside the city and suffer a lot. It's certain that people and horses will get sick in the heat of the world. Even food and herbs are not enough.

It's not so much the garrison impeachment that shows the unparalleled benevolence and righteousness of the Tang Dynasty and the hegemony of the king, it's better to say These soldiers are in exile!

The pen in Qin Shubao's hand suddenly shakes and almost falls onto the paper.

"Marshal, what's the matter with you?" Left and right exclaimed. They saw that Qin Shubao's face was very bad, as if the seriously ill man was grey. The body is also slightly shaking, cold sweat on the forehead straight down like beans.

"None No! Maybe it's eating something unclean and making trouble. " Qin Shubao strongly raised his spirit, held the pen pole, and said, "hurry up and finish approving these copies. I'll give them to Qu Zhisheng as soon as possible, and let him issue them for execution."

"Yes Marshal, why don't you send food to your humble post in the afternoon? There is no need for the marshal to do such trifles personally. The marshal is not well. We must live and rest well. I'll call for a military doctor later. "

Qin Shubao's eyebrows were locked tightly, and he involuntarily put his hand over his stomach and nodded gently, "well, you must personally hand over the grain, grass and herbs to Rengui and sign in return. There's no need for military doctors. There's no need for mediocrity and big fights. "

Forty miles away from the northern foot of Huoyan mountain, there is a rare green forest and grassland green state. It is a little famous green state tribe with a radius of more than 40 miles. The merchants on the silk road often stay here. Over time, there has been more prosperity and vitality here. Recently, however, due to the war, the merchants stopped fighting and became a dead area.

Last night, when the wind was high and the night was dark, a large number of people poured into the oasis quietly and settled down. They don't cook, they don't hunt, they whisper, they act like ghosts.

They forcibly occupied the few remaining houses and inns in the oasis. Whenever you meet a stranger, do not ask for love, by all mouth.

A lot of innocent travelers, dying in the pupil of their eyes with their bloody machetes, and a startling wolf head flag.

Wolf, Turk's totem!

In the Han people's Inn in the center of the oasis, Hu Bing is waiting for Hanliang. The tables and chairs in the center of the lobby were swept away. Instead, they were covered with a thick layer of sheepskin felt. Several people were sitting around them, drinking strong white goat milk wine.

One of them sat in the core, and the others were in a fan-shaped distribution. The head of the whole lamb just roasted is facing his direction, which shows that this man is the head of all the people.

This man is a bear on the back of a tiger, his hair is like a lion, his hook is big, his nose is blue, his eyes are blue, and his cheekbones are more prominent than those of ordinary Hu people. When you open your mouth to drink, you will have a bloody mouth.

See this person, all people think of an animal - bear!

"General nishu, just received a letter from Gao Changguo, saying that everything is ready. Our army can set out in the evening and enter the city at night!" The first one on the left said.

"Nishu" is the name and surname of the Western Turkic tribe, and it is also a famous family name. The man like Xiong is currently the highest military commander of Beiting, West Turk. He once swept the desert invincibly and was the first general to win the title of Beiting by himself.Mud cooked sipped a glance at the man, his eyes as cold as a typical carnivore. Although his heart was close to him, the man who had just spoken could not help but feel cold.

"I have no interest and trust in Qu Zhisheng." Mud cooked SIP spoke, but the voice is not as rough as I imagined, but very calm, but the voice is rich and full of air, "who sent the secret letter?"

"It's our own people, who were sent to Tutun, bil, in Gaochang by Khan before."

"That's about the same. It looks like the time is right. " "It's a pity that Qin Shubao, the world's tiger general and the world's hero, should die of such a mean and petty plan! It's a pity that I can't compete with him in a fair and just battle in this life! "

"General, since the Khan personally sent generals here, we can see that this battle is very important." "It's not an old saying in the Han Dynasty that soldiers are never tired of deceit," he said. Qin Shubao is invincible and has Pu Changhai and Xue wanche as backup. If we want to fight head-on, our army will have to suffer countless casualties even if it wins. If you kill Qin Shubao and defeat the Tang army in this battle, then only Beiting will be left in the western regions. Who dares not accept it? At the end of the day, this account will only be accounted for by Qu Zhisheng and Gaochang people. It has nothing to do with me. It's really a net business! "

"You will only be able to hearsay and follow others' advice. How can you get insight?" Mashu sipped coldly and snorted, "Da Han believed the instigation of garqin mausoleum, a Tubo boy, and decided to be the enemy of Tang Dynasty. I don't like this guy galchinling. Qin Shubao was lured away to Lanzhou for more than ten battles in the western regions. He condemned the old, weak and disabled soldiers to only feint, and let us and Gaochang's soldiers and horses to die. In the end, he still wants to use us to deal with Qin Shubao, but he just sits on the wall waiting for the benefit of the fisherman. No matter whether the battle is successful or not, he will not lose any money. That is the real business with net profit and no loss! "

"But It's really good for us! " He said, "the Tang Dynasty won the impeachment of the garrison after Gaochang, accepted people's support, recruited troops and set up the Duhufu. With the combination of grace and power, it is not a small ambition to subdue the western regions one by one! When they gradually take root here, sooner or later they will unite with Nanting to attack me. By that time, it will be really late! "

"Hum..." The mud is ripe to sip already exasperated and helpless stuffy hum a, say, "such truth. I don't know If not, how can I personally lead the troops to come here? There are no two tigers in one mountain. There will not be two overlords in the western regions. As soon as we were about to take the southern court to dominate the western regions, the Tang Court reached in. Although I despise the treacherous people like karchin mausoleum, I also know that it is extremely difficult to win without this strategy. It's a pity that Qin Shubao, the hero of my life, has been admired by our generation! "

After noon, a large number of grain convoys were escorted to the Tang army camp in Huoyanshan. Xue Rengui, dressed in full, went out to welcome them in person and counted them carefully. After that, Xue Rengui asked the escorting officer why the commander-in-chief didn't come to the parade in person today.

The evacuation officer truthfully reported that the marshal was ill and could not come in person.

Xue Rengui frowned and said: "you and I all know the temperament of Marshal. Even if the sky is falling, he will be resolute and will not change his course. I saw yesterday that he was still in good condition. Why is he too sick to travel today? Is there something strange in it

Escort officer Leng a Leng, said: "Marshal only said that the diet is not clean, acclimatized, some trouble stomach, in addition, and no harm ah!"

"Really?" Xue Rengui stares at him.

"Indeed So! The commander-in-chief also ordered that the general should distribute these herbs as soon as possible to relieve the suffering of the soldiers. "

“……” Xue Rengui pondered for a moment, nodded his head and said, "please return to the commander and say that the commander will execute the military order immediately. After that, Gaochang Kaicheng will visit the commander in person tomorrow morning, and he will not be able to return to the military affairs immediately!"

"Yes, I'm sure I will. General Xue, I'll leave that humble post! "

"Wait!" Xue Rengui suddenly drank and shocked the escort officer.

"I'm still a little worried. I'll follow you to the city to visit the marshal at the moment." Xue Rengui said.

"So It's good. I'm afraid that when the time comes, the commander will blame the general for leaving his post because he abandoned the public for personal reasons. " Escorting officer carefully reminds a way, "wait for humble position to repay first, general tomorrow again visit, pour also not late in this one night."

Xue Rengui locked his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, so he nodded: "well, it's important for us to carry out the military order. Go ahead and give my regards to the marshal. "

"Yes."

Late at night, the moon is like a mirror, the wind howls.

In the backyard of most of Gaochang's Imperial City, there was silence, but suddenly there were two screams!

"Ah! ——Ah! "

"Marshal. What's the matter! "

Several people burst open the door and rushed in. They found that Qin Shubao rolled down from the bed, and there was a pool of blood on the ground. Qin Shubao's whole body twitched and shrunk into a ball, and black blood kept spitting out from his mouth.

"Dashai!"

A moment later, a medical officer came in a hurry. He didn't have time to feel his pulse. Seeing this, he was immediately frightened and said, "this This! It's clear that the marshal has been poisoned! "

"What?" The people around were waiting for a scream."What's the matter, what's the matter, what's the matter with en Shuai?" A thunder like roar came from outside the door, and then broke into a giant man who was like a shining iron tower. Yuwen Hongtai with only one underpants on his body.

"Hong Tai, don't make any noise!" Qi Lin He Li came forward to block him and said in a deep voice, "the commander has been poisoned!"

"What?" Yuwen Hongtai was stunned and stared at Qin Shubao with a pair of copper bell like eyes. He shook his head blankly, "it's impossible, how can it be! How can he be poisoned, but we have nothing to do? "

The doctor said in a low voice: "maybe the thief poisoned himself in the Marshal's bowl or tea. It's the poison of arsenic. The poison has gone to the bone and can't be saved!"

"Ah! ——Ah Yuwen Hongtai screamed like a tiger. Regardless of everything, the crowd around them rushed to the bed and knelt down, crying like a child, "you can't be OK, Eun Shuai! If you have something to do, how can I tell the third brother? "

"Hong Tai, no noise, no crying. What kind of system is it, grand general Half lying on the bed, Qin Shubao's face was blue and gray, his eyes were still like a knife, his expression was cold and Su, and he said in a deep voice, "what's the strength of Qi. Yuwen, Hongtai, pass on my general's order, all the people in the prefecture, gather all the equipment for the battle! "

"Wu --" Yu Wen Hong Tai burst out crying. He dragged Qin Shubao to pull him out of bed and yelled, "en Shuai, get up quickly and let me carry you! Let's leave Gaochang and go to the barracks. Let's lead our troops back to Lanzhou and meet our third brother in Lanzhou! "

"No nonsense!" Qin Shubao gave a big drink. Then he coughed violently, even spitting blood.

Qi Peng He Li forbeared his grief and indignation, and called several deputy generals to come forward and forcibly pull away Yu Wen Hong Tai. He held his fist in his arms and said in a loud voice, "the last general will take orders!"

"Hong Tai, come here with my weapons and armor and put them on my horse!"

After half a incense burning time, most of the guards were surrounded by people shouting to kill Zhentian. Countless torches red the night sky. Among the shouts and shouts, one could hear someone shouting in unison: "Qin Qiong, you can leave the whole body!"

In the courtyard. All the 500 soldiers who had gone into the city with Qin Shubao arrived. Man's armour and saddle, torches and swords.

Silence.

Qin Shubao pushed aside his left and right arms and moved out of the room step by step. When standing in front of the steps, Yuwen Hongtai hands over his golden spear carved on the tiger's head. Qin Shubao takes the gun and gives it a heavy blow on the ground. It shakes the bricks and makes the tiger powerful.

A pawn came forward to report that Dadu Prefecture, surrounded by at least 3000 troops, was the headquarters of the main King division of Western Turks.

"I see. Step back." Qin Shubao answered lightly. He said, "those who are willing to surrender will take off their military robes and leave quietly. I will not blame them. But from now on, don't say that you are from the Tang Dynasty. "

"I'd rather die than surrender, and I'll follow the Grand Marshal to the death!" Five hundred people responded almost in unison.

Qin Shubao nodded slightly, then asked Yuwen Hongtai, "Hongtai, why do you have blood on you? But I went out to fight without following my military orders? "

Yuwen Hongtai is full of ferocious, gnashing his teeth, hatefully said: "I've killed all the servants and cooks in the mansion! I don't know which son of a bitch poisoned ensai, but it was one of them anyway. Damn it all

"The real murderer has already run away. You have killed innocent people indiscriminately." Qin Shubao didn't scold him. Instead, he was as gentle as an elder. He said in a soft voice, "in the future, you have to keep your temper and don't abuse your nature. Bring him a message for me, and ask him to keep it in mind.... "

"I won't go!" Yuwen Hongtai suddenly yelled, "I will die with ensai! EN Shuai is the third brother's father, who is also the father of an Yuwen Hongtai! My father is dying. How can I go. That's not a beast! "

Five hundred soldiers, all of them with tense faces and deep eyes, looked at Qin Shubao and Yuwen Hongtai.

Qin Shubao gazed at Yu Wen Hong Tai for a moment. His old eyes seemed to twinkle. His gray beard trembled a few times. He almost groaned powerlessly, "this is the military order."

Yuwen Hongtai wants to yell and argue again. Qi Lin He Li comes up to stop him and says, "we follow the commander to live to this day. Who is afraid to die? Hong Tai, don't be impulsive. If you listen to the arrangement of the commander, it must be reasonable. "

The cry outside the hospital became louder and clearer: "Qin Qiong will not die if she comes out!" "If Qin Qiong comes out, he will not die!"

"Did you hear that? They asked me to come out, ha ha ha!" Qin Shubao suddenly laughed a few times. He put the golden spear on the green brick and stone slab and said in a loud voice. "Yuwen Hongtai, I'll wait for five hundred people to get you out of the city. At the moment, it is easy to die in battle, but difficult to survive. You must break through and find Xue Rengui, so that he can not enter the city to save me, let alone attack the city for revenge. Immediately lead the army to puchanghai and order Xue wanche to retreat to Yumen pass. No mistake! "

"What Yuwen Hongtai yelled, "don't send me out to move rescue soldiers. Let me run for my life? ——I'm not going to die! "

"Hong Tai My son Qin Shubao gave a low call. Yuwen Hongtai's face was full of tears again. He nodded his head and said, "here is my son! "Here it is"You're my son, and you're as close as brother to Saburo." Qin Shubao said in a low voice, "we can all fight and die generously, but you must escape from the heaven. There are only three reasons. First, you are the only one among us who is the bravest and most likely to break through. You have to pass my order to Xue Rengui. This is a big deal. Second, I want you to bring a message to Sanlang, so that he must remember the words of being a father: there is no personal feud in the battlefield, so we must attach great importance to the affairs of the state; the Qin family has been loyal and good for generations, and has been generous all his life, so that he will not insult his ancestors.... "

Five hundred people, with tears in their eyes, half knelt down, clasped their fists and saluted, but speechless.

"Third, tell my family that Qin Qiong is missing them day and night San Lang's newlywed father was not able to show up. I'm sorry. Therefore, I only prepared a small gift for my future grandchildren, that is, the wing bone of the desert eagle I shot with my own hands, and a Carved Eagle flute... "

After that, Qin Shubao took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Yuwen Hongtai, saying: "when the child of Sanlang is born, if it's a boy, let Sanlang name him Qin Ying; if it's a daughter, call him di er!"

Yuwen Hongtai kneels down, raises a pair of big hands, takes the eagle flute, and carefully puts it into his arms. Then he lies on the ground and cries, desperately smashes the ground with his fist.

"Wine!" Qin Shubao drank loudly!

Outside the hospital, he was still shouting, "Qin Qiong, you can leave the whole body!"

Five hundred people, each holding a bowl of wine, standing still.

"Eighteen days ago, I led you to wait for 502 soldiers to settle in the king's city. Tonight, I have 503 men of the Tang Dynasty, many of them. How happy I am to stay here and get drunk!" Qin Shubao held the bowl in both hands and said in a loud voice, "my brothers and sons of Qin Qiong! Drink this bowl and go to the yellow spring. Life and death are the same. How generous

"Follow the Grand Marshal to the death! Life and death are the same. How generous

"Dry!"

Three bowls of wine for each person, Sanle pulp of Kangguo. This kind of wine, all people present usually do not know how much to drink, only tonight to drink out of the gall and strong gas majestic!

"Mount

Yuwen Hongtai and Qipeng Heli want to help each other. Qin Shubao pushes them away. As soon as they turn over on horseback, they pull up the golden spear embedded in the stone. Shout: "general - all officers and men, pledge to escort Yuwen Hongtai out of the city!"

"No!"

Yuwen Hongtai was fully dressed, carrying a phoenix wing gold-plated bell, turned over and mounted the horse, turned up his robe, wiped the sweat and tears on his face, and yelled: "Eun Shuai, brothers! If I don't die, I'll come here today next year and bring the best Sanle pulp and the head of the enemy to commemorate you! "

"Open the door and follow me Get out of here

"Ga Quack

The tall and heavy door of Duhufu opened slowly. Outside. The cavalry was surrounded by torches and spears.

Mashu sips the horse standing under the wolf general's flag, squinting at the door of the mansion, his face tense.

A ride, slowly out of the door of the house, robes and ash must fly together, tiger head spear stand upright.

"In the Tang Dynasty, there are only decapitated soldiers, no kneeling slaves Qin Qiong is here. Who dares to fight to the death? "
