Chapter 404

In Changyan desert, wind eroded mushroom stones can be seen everywhere. Scorching sun, frequent mirages.

Even Xue Rengui himself felt that it was a miracle that they had not been stopped by thousands of troops, died of hunger, thirst and heat, lost in the desert and buried in the wolf's belly.

In front, there is a large green field.

This time, it's not a mirage!

Soldiers and men of the three armed forces, cheering thunder!

"General Xue, we have come out! We left 800 desert and came to grassland! " The left and right deputy general cried with joy.

The corner of Xue Rengui's mouth rises slightly, nods, smiles and breathes a breath.

It has been more than half a month since the day of breaking through the encirclement and going north. Along the way, the bloody battle of Tianshan first ambushed mushusuo, then overtook the inaccessible Tianshan, and then entered the territory of xiabaximi under the rule of the Western Turkic North Court. Although bashimibu is a small tribe, all the people are soldiers. There are many elite riders waiting for work. Xue Rengui led the army, which was old and tired, but had the seal of Qin Shubao's God of war in its bones. He went up head-on and attacked the strong with a weak attack, like a sharp cone that pierced the three lines of defense laid down by bashimi. Thousands of enemy troops were annihilated and more than 30 generals and chiefs were killed. Xue Rengui captured Dou Nan, the second son of the leader of the bashimi tribe, and took him as a hostage. He escaped five hundred miles and released him. Feeling Xue Rengui's loyalty, he swore that he would persuade his father to stop pursuing the Tang army after he went back. In fact, bashimibu had no intention to be an enemy of the Tang Dynasty. However, because of the obscene power in Beiting, they had to submit to Beiting and act according to orders.

After breaking through the tight encirclement of bashimi, Xue Rengui arrived at the desert near the southern foot of Jinshan mountain. As early as a few decades ago, Jinshan was the dividing line between the Western Turks and the eastern Turks pacified by the Tang Dynasty. To the west is Beiting's sphere of influence; to the East. They entered Mobei grassland in the territory of Tang Dynasty.

Here, Hu Luwu, the leader of the Hulu department, is the second most important general in Beiting.

80000 troops are stationed in the dangerous field!

At this time, Xue Rengui's headquarters had been more than 1000 miles away from Gaochang. Many of the soldiers died in the war, were injured and suffered from summer heat. The supplies along the way basically depended on booty and wild hunting. Almost every soldier reached the limit of fatigue that the human body could bear!

But Xue Rengui knows that there is no way out now! Only by breaking through the defense line guarded by huluwu, crossing the desert and entering the grassland of Mobei, and then passing through shanyudu's residence and Yinshan and Helan Mountains and entering Helong, can we possibly return to Lanzhou!

Thousands of miles away, thousands of miles away!

At this moment, Xue Rengui really hopes that he and the remaining 17894 Tang soldiers can turn into wings and fly back to Lanzhou!

Xue Rengui only used one sentence to inspire the morale of this brave and lonely master - "we are all the sons of the God of war of the Tang Dynasty. We have only one way forward!"

"Kill -"

more than ten thousand tired soldiers launched a desperate attack on the 80000 elite Turkic cavalry of huluwu!

Xue Rengui, a pioneer, like the head of a long gun with blood tassels, broke into the army!

……

The fierce battle lasted for more than four hours. In the middle of the night, General Hu Luwu, a proud and brave general of Beiting, was personally killed by Xue Rengui before the battle!

Hu Luwu people are terrified!

Hu Luwu, the leader, was so sad and indignant that he gave up the encirclement of Xue Rengui's headquarters and let them break through the defense line and enter the desert!

After the first World War, Xue Rengui was famous and famous in Beiting!

After Xue Rengui's arrow pierced his chest, he survived and recovered half of his life, but he would not be able to lead his troops in a year and a half. Yipihailu Khan of Beiting is burning with anger. He orders people to cast a pure gold man of the same size as the real life. He threatens that if anyone cuts off Xue Rengui's head, he will be rewarded with the gold man. If he can be captured alive, he will be awarded a thousand tribal leaders, 3000 cattle and sheep, and 20 beautiful women!

At this time, Xue Rengui, who had led more than 10000 soldiers of the western expedition for the rest of his life, was like a group of undead iron men, trudging through the barren 800 Li desert and stepping on the grassland to breathe fresh air.

"General, where are we going now?" The deputy general asked Xue Rengui.

Xue Rengui frowned for a moment and said, "this is the first time I've ever been to this place. I have seen the map of the great chronicle of Mobei military strategy inherited by the young commander from Duke Wei. If I remember correctly, I will go more than 400 miles southeast. It is the territory of Turkic Turkic Khan to the East. "

"Tuli Khan? Is it the Ashina Khan who helped the Tang Dynasty to pacify the Turkic Khanate a few years ago? " He asked.

"It's him." Xue Rengui nodded and said, "Tuli Khan is the noble chief of Ashina tribe. The surname of "Ashina" is just like the surname of Li in the Tang Dynasty After he returned to the Tang Dynasty, he was granted the title of governor of shunzhou. Later, he returned to the court and died of illness. After that, his son, asnahe Ruhu, inherited his title and stayed in the grassland, where he was ordered by the Tang Dynasty to govern the Turkic adherents"That's great!" Around excited way, "so, he is our own people of Datang!"

"That's right." Xue Rengui frowned and said, "but I don't know him. In recent years, the Tang Dynasty rarely garrisoned troops here. At most, it only sent some officials to assist Heluo Uighur in governing the military and political affairs. On the present Turkic grassland, the most powerful tribe is Xue yantuo tribe to the north of the desert. Their leader Yi Nan, like the Turkic Khan, once helped the Tang Dynasty to pacify the Turkic Khanate. Later, his Majesty gave the princess surnamed Li the right to marry him and made him the real pearl Khan. However, Yi Nan had always been strong, brave and ambitious. In recent years, he annexed several grassland tribes in succession. All he wanted to do was to unify the grassland, break away from the independent Khanate of the Tang Dynasty, and become the second Jieli. That is to say, in name, the Ashina tribe of the prairie nobles under the command of heluohu is still a subordinate of the Tang Dynasty; but in fact, I am afraid that their authority over the barbarians has been subordinated to Xue yantuo. After all, it's beyond the reach of Datang... "

"Then what? Shall we still go to Ashley's He asked.

"Whether we go or not, it's our only way." Xue Rengui's eyes narrowed slightly and his tone sank. "How about yesterday's yellow flower grassland Ashi, compared with the 80000 cavalry under Hu Luwu's command?"

"Order - full speed eastward, target, asna territory, yudujun mountain yakeng tribe!"

Two days later, Xue Rengui walked all the way. He led the army to yudujun mountain, where the Turkic Khanate was once located. It was also the most famous political and military center and prosperous place on the grassland.

But what you see is shocking!

Yazhang tribe, once bustling and prosperous, is now dead and fragmented, with scattered corpses, cattle and sheep running around. The herdsman's felt tent was burning in the flames. The green grass is dried up with blue and purple blood clots. The tribes of tens of miles are like a dead area!

"This place has been looted by the fire!" We come to this conclusion!

"Who dares to be so bold and act rashly to the grassland Ashina?" Xue Rengui was surprised and angry. He thought to himself: Although Ashi's movie was the yellow flower of yesterday, it still lived up to the name of nobility. Among the grassland tribes, they have great prestige and influence, at least as spiritual leaders. Moreover, he Luohu, the son of Tuli Khan, was an official personally granted by the emperor of the Tang Dynasty to run the army close to the people. He was also a court Minister of the Tang Dynasty. Now Ashi's movie has been bloodwashed Is it true that Yi men are rebellious?

"Search the dental account. Let's see if there's a live one! " At the command of Xue Rengui, all the soldiers searched separately.

After a few hours passed, all the officers and men reported that there was no one alive, and almost all the cattle and sheep were looted!

"That's ridiculous!" Xue Rengui gritted his teeth and groaned. Fang Tianhua's halberd in his hand made a sound.

"General. There's a big army in the East A sudden reprimand came.

Xue Rengui raised his eyebrows: "the whole army is preparing for war!"

Innumerable hooves, rolling in. The grassland resounds!

Xue Rengui set up a good formation and brought out a horse with only one flag. Along the way, all the soldiers and men were stained with blood and dirty. Only the bright red flag of the Tang Dynasty was still shining in the wind.

Soldiers and horses from the front. The number is no less than 30000. The black iron Xuanjia cutlass wolf flag is obviously the army of the grassland tribe.

Xue Rengui raised the halberd painted by Fang Tianhua in his hand to signal the whole army to be ready for battle. Then, the horse came forward first.

The other side's cavalry in a circle, standing on a high slope, occupied a commanding position in preparation for the sprint of geographical advantage. But he didn't rush to attack and kill, but lined up like a cloud. After that, he rode out to Xue Rengui.

Of course, Xue Rengui didn't know these people, but he looked at each other's clothes and bearing. It's the chief and the general. These people are on guard and confused at the same time.

Several riders stared at Xue Rengui and muttered a few words. One of them came forward and said in Chinese, "where are you? Why plunder the ASHNA tribe? "

Xue Rengui looked solemn and said, "I'm Xue Li, general of zuoweiwei in Lanzhou, under the command of Qin Shubao, the defending Duke of the capital of Anxi! Leading the army to this point coincided with the bloody washing of Ashina. Our department arrived an hour earlier than your department. If you don't believe it, you can enter the tooth tent to check the knife edge by yourself! The swords used by our Tang Sergeants are straight and horizontal, and the wounds of the dead in the teeth tent. It's all caused by machetes! "

Several people on the other side were obviously shocked and asked the man, "are you Xue Rengui, the Tang God general who defeated mushou in Tianshan Mountain and Hu Luwu in 800 desert?"

"It's Xue who is not worthy of being a great general of Tang Dynasty." Xue Rengui said faintly.

Several people in front of him turned over and dismounted with a cry of surprise. They stood in front of Xue Rengui's horse, stroked their chests and bowed down to worship: "general Xue is here, please accept our big gift!"

Xue Rengui was stunned and put the halberd in the mud beside the horse. Also under the horse boxing salute, said: "such a big gift ten thousand don't dare. What do you call it, sir

"The God is in the first place. I'm a member of the Uighur tribe (official name, meaning big leader) granted by the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. I'm a vomit fan Du." The man who asked just now replied. "A few days ago, I received a call for help from ashinahe Luohu. He said that the barbarians came to harass and intended to increase their troops to slaughter the city, so they led the army to rescue I didn't expect to be late! ""It turned out to be the leader of tumidu, but he was disrespectful!" Xue Rengui gave a fist and said angrily. "Is Yi Nan really going to turn back?"

"Ah Tumidu sighed and shook his head. "After Yi Nan helped the Tang Dynasty to pacify Jieli and was named the real pearl Khan, he was proud to serve the strong and bully the weak. For several years, he has been rampant among the big and small tribes in the grassland. Even the noble Ashina in the grassland dares to bully him! Among the tribes as big as the grassland, only the Uighur and Ashina did not give in to him. At present, more than 200000 foreign men are supporting their troops. They have long been willing to give up and will sweep the grassland sooner or later. Now that the Tang Dynasty had gone to war with Tubo and Western Turks, the barbarians thought that the Tang Dynasty had no time to go north, so they took action against Ashina! ——General Xue, I have asked for help from governor Li Min of Bingzhou! However, the Yi man has already washed the Ashi film with blood. Sooner or later, I will do it in Uighur! Please also ask general Xue to do justice! "

"Justice?" When Xue Rengui heard these four words, he was very angry, but he couldn't laugh or cry. Secret way: I'm just a hasty passer-by. I'm still in a hurry to return to Lanzhou. Where can I take care of Li? Li Ji, a feudal official of the imperial court, was in charge of this place. His majesty called him "the great wall of the Tang Dynasty to the north". Where is it my turn to take over the responsibilities?

But in the twinkling of an eye, not far away, the blood washed tribe and the corpse of sixiali. Xue Rengui couldn't bear his anger. After pondering for a while, he said: "since Yi Nan is the real pearl Khan granted by his majesty, now he has washed the Ashina tribe with blood, that is a blatant rebellion. I'm a general of the Chinese dynasty. I'm here. I can't be ignored! ——Chief, please send a letter to Yi Nan, saying that the envoy of Tang Dynasty has come to ask for a crime. Let him answer with Xue Rengui before the battle, and give me an explanation! "

"Er, this..." Vomit fan degree face dew a bit difficult color, mouth huff and puff.

Xue Rengui knew that tumidu was a little afraid of Yi Nan, and obviously underestimated him. He was even more trusting than the tens of thousands of Tang soldiers. He said with a slight smile: "the leader of tumidu, although Xue is a pawn of the unknown Tang Dynasty, the flag of the Tang army is here, which is the symbol of the Heavenly Kingdom. What the emperor's banners refer to is that he should escape from the wind! If he really wants to fight back, he will dare to fight against Xue Rengui! ——If he uses force, he will break his promise and betray the Tang Dynasty first, and I will attack him by the king's division in the Tang Dynasty! If this is the case, Li Ji's army will be well-known. It is just around the corner to pacify Mobei and return the grassland to a bright future! With the great power of the Tang Dynasty as a source of support, Xue came here alone. He was tired of his teachers and soldiers, but he was not afraid of it. The big leader had plenty of troops and food, and the common people of the tribe fought together to fight against the enemy. Why should he be afraid of it? "

"That's what general Xue said! That's good! " Tumidu hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "well, let's invite general Xue and his soldiers to our tribe to have a rest! Wait for me to send a letter to Yi Nan and see how he stands for it

"Obedience is better than respect! Chief, please
