Chapter 426

Jinshan, a grassland nomad with wolf as totem, thinks that it is the place where the wolf God lives, so it is called "wolf mountain" and regarded as the Holy Land in his heart.

Between the Jinshan mountain and the northern desert steppe, there is a vast desert stretching for nearly a thousand miles, commonly known as "800 desert", which is also the geographical watershed between the East and the West Turks.

"I can see the golden mountain." Xue Rengui raised his eyes to look into the distance, looked back, sighed and said, "unexpectedly, we have crossed 800 deserts again..."

"Brother..." Asna Xuelian couldn't help wondering and asked, "since the first day I stepped into the desert, I have seen you and your soldiers with a heavy heart. I've always wanted to ask why, but it's hard to say. Now that I'm out of the desert, can you tell me why? "

"It's nothing." Xue Rengui said calmly. "Not long ago, I led 20000 Western expeditionary troops to break through the encirclement and go northward, fighting dozens of battles all the way. Today, more than half of them have been killed. I remember that at the foot of Jinshan, we had a bloody battle with tens of thousands of troops of Hulu tribe of Western Turks, and finally escaped into 800 desert. At that time. We are short of food and horses, and even drinking water is hard to find in the desert. Many injured brothers died in the desert because they didn't get timely recuperation and treatment. At that time, we were worried that the Western Turkic army would come to pursue and flee, and they would not have enough time to let them live in peace. The most we could do was to cover their bodies with stones and branches. Along the way back to our hometown, we saw that the remains of many soldiers had turned into white bones. Many of them were destroyed by wild animals... "

"No wonder..." The blood lotus also sighed and said, "in fact, I should have thought of it. What else can make a man like brother sad? "

"Is it?" Xue Rengui gave a slight smile and said nothing more.

At this time, several sentinel riders in front came back and reported to Xue Rengui that they were about to step into Hulu's territory and could see their barracks. According to the situation, Hulu people also found that the troops on this side of the desert were gathering troops.

"Brother, do you want to fight them again?" Xuelian said, "you have only 10000 or 20000 soldiers, and you can still kill nine in and nine out of his array. No one can stop you. This time, with the help of Xiaomei and his 40000 elite Uighur cavalry, he will be defeated in one blow! "

"Don't worry." Xue Rengui's face was as deep as water and said, "this time is different from the past. At that time, I was on the run, but now I am on the way. Moreover, the sun and the moon are changing, and the current situation is changing. I don't know what kind of position the Western Turkic North Court is taking towards my Datang. We should not use force rashly. "

"Oh, be polite before you fight, right?" Xuelian said with a smile, "yes, the Central Plains officials and generals like to get a set."

Xue Rengui was slightly stunned, and then said with a meaningful smile: "you're right. I learned this from a senior official. That senior official is the one you are eager to meet

"Make fun of me?" Blood lotus apricot eyes round stare, willow eyebrows flying, posture is about to change face.

Xue Rengui laughs, "don't make a fool of yourself. Look, there is a lot of smoke and dust ahead. It seems that there are soldiers and horses coming. "

Sure enough, within a few miles of incense burning time, there was a large cavalry formation, about 60000 or 70000. On this side, Xue Rengui and Xuelian led the army of the Han and Hui dynasties, with 50000 troops. With the formation of the two sides in line and the uniform cavalry, it seems that there will be a big war.

Hu Lu's troops and horses set up their positions, but they didn't rush to move. Instead, they ran out with a rider holding the command flag and came to Xue Rengui's front, saying, "Marshal Hu Luwu, our commander, please welcome general Xue Rengui to answer before the front."

"Please." Xue Rengui agreed. He took only one flag envoy with him and rode forward alone. Even Fang Tianhua's Halberd was put on the ground.

"Brother, be careful of cheating!" Blood lotus reminds a way. "How can you come forward so alone? No matter what, you need to bring weapons! "

"No harm." Xue Rengui turned his head and walked forward with a cool smile.

The other side, only two people. Hulu, the chief of Hulu tribe, was also one of the two marshals of the West Turkic North Court, and had a flag envoy.

Two people and horse and stand, Xue Rengui boxing, Hu Luwu chest nod, is seen ceremony.

"General Xue, there is an old saying in the Central Plains. It's called etiquette before soldiers." Hu Luwu's Chinese language is quite fluent. He said, "I was ordered to intercept and chase you. It's my duty. But how can you go back today? Do you really want to have a hard time with my Hulu department? "

"No way." Xue Rengui said, "if this were the case, I would not have released my captured son. I know that your Hulu department is under the pressure of Beiting to be the enemy of Datang, so I don't blame you. Today, I just came to borrow. If the general agrees, please get out of the way and let me wait. Xue promised that he would not commit any crimes along the way and would never be an enemy to your Hu Lu Department. "

"By the way?" Hu Lu Wu obviously took a long breath, with a smile on his face, stroked his chest again and bowed to give a gift to Xue Rengui. Said, "Hu Lu Department, must be Rong Yun. Originally, Beiting had already abandoned its relationship with Tubo and had a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty. There is no reason for us to be enemies with Xue Rengui. I will not only make way with general Xue, but also invite him to lead your troops to stay in our department for several days. Let me be a good host"Has Beiting been repaired with Datang?" Xue Rengui was surprised and said: how is this possible? Beiting is the main murderer of the commander. Even if the imperial court agrees, how can the young commander forget this blood feud By the way, Beiting abandoned Tubo and built up the Tang Dynasty. Its purpose was to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Facing the powerful enemy of Tubo, it is also a good strategy to appease Beiting and reduce one enemy for the time being. In this case, why don't I follow the young commander's advice and try my best to win the help of Beiting and use them to help me deal with Tubo?

"Since the marshal won. Xue will not refuse! " Xue Rengui, who had figured out the twists and turns of the situation, said frankly, "our army has just crossed 800 deserts, and we are in need of rest."

"That's great! ——General Xue, please

That night, Xue Rengui's troops. He was stationed in the territory of the Hulu people. Hu Lu house also really did a return to the friendship of the host, slaughtering cattle and sheep feast for three days. At this time, Xue Rengui knew that the marshal of Beiting, who was shot by him in the first World War of Tianshan Mountains, was not dead, but was seriously injured. So far, he can only rest in bed and can't take care of military affairs. Although Hu Luwu was second only to Ni shucuo, Ya Zhang did not give military power to him, a "foreign chieftain" guarding the frontier. Instead, he was dragged to the hands of Khan Yugu in Beiting and his sons who could not fight.

For this reason, Hu Luwu complained to Xue Rengui more than once after drinking, saying that he and the whole clan gave up their lives to work for Yugu, but in the end he was still regarded as an outsider and watchdog.

Xue Rengui can smell the flavor of his words - he wants to say that he doesn't want to work for Beiting. It's better to join Datang!

So Xue Rengui struck while the iron was hot and told Hu Luwu that the Tang Dynasty had already sent Li Ji to lead the army in the northern expedition against Xue yantuo, which was quite smooth. At that time, the great Tang Dynasty will surely dominate Mobei, and the nine surnamed tiele and Turkic Huihe tribes will surely be attached one by one. Hulu is located between Beiting and Mobei. Since it is the throat of Western Turks, it is the first place for military strategists to fight. If one day the Tang Dynasty and Beiting reopened the war, then, the first to suffer from the war, it must be Hulu no doubt!

Xue Rengui told a big truth. Hu Luwu also knew that it was natural for Tang Dynasty and Tubo to fight each other. But no one dared to persuade them to fight, so Beiting and Datang were temporarily repaired. Another important reason is that the vitality of the North Court was greatly damaged in the first World War of Tianshan Mountains, and the big pillar of the top beam was seriously injured. Now that the Tang Dynasty has attacked Mobei, sooner or later they will march westward to clean up Beiting. In any case, there is a deep blood feud between Beiting and Tang Dynasty, which can not be resolved by peace!

Since Hu Luwu was able to be a chieftain of a clan and a marshal of a country, he had a good insight and was not stupid. After several deep discussions with Xue Rengui, he made a bold decision to leave Beiting secretly and return to Datang!

Naturally, Xue Rengui was overjoyed, but he also knew that this kind of thing should be slow rather than urgent, dark rather than clear. I want Hu Luwu to agree to join Datang now. That's unrealistic. After all, Li Ji's army is still thousands of miles away in Qibei, fighting against Xue yantuo; Qin mubai in Guanxi, fighting against Tubo, is still the only one in the western regions!

So Hu Lu Wu and Xue Rengui agreed that one day Wang Shi of the Tang Dynasty would come to Jinshan. It's the time for his Hulu tribe to work! Before that, it could only be a secret agreement between him and Xue Rengui. Xue Rengui said that he was just a general under Qin mubai, the commander of the Guanxi army, and could not decide such a big event. Unless Hu Luwu writes the following book and sets up a contract, Xue Rengui will return to Lanzhou. Give the contract to Qin mubai and let him approve it.

Hu Luwu agrees with emotion, and immediately writes down the contract document and gives it to Xue Rengui, who takes it to Qin mubai.

After five days' rest in Hulu, the Tang Hui allied forces left here and marched towards the southern Tianshan Mountains. Gao Changguo, the throat of the western regions!

On the way, Xuelian asked Xue Rengui, "brother, what's the idea of Hulu house? His hospitality to us these days is even more warm and considerate than that of us at that time. It's like a slave serving his master. He's obviously trying to please you. Does he want to leave Beiting and join Datang? "

"That's the intention. It's quite obvious." Xue Rengui said with a smile, "but he thought he was doing it very secretly."

"So he really mentioned it to you? Did you promise him then? "

"Yes for the time being, but I can't do it. It's up to young commander Qin to decide." Xue Rengui said.

"Oh! Why don't you leave young commander Qin Blood lotus curled her lips and said, "if you want to say, now he's thousands of miles away, and he can't even care about your life and death. The remaining 10000 Western expeditionary troops are saved with your life. There are more than 40000 Uighur cavalry. You defeated Yi men a few times ago. It's easy for Li Ji to pacify Xue yantuo. It's all thanks to you! Now, in the western regions and Mobei, who knows he is young commander Qin. What about Xue Rengui? ——What else can't you do? "

"There is an old saying in the Central Plains, which is called" father, son, king and Minister ". Do you understand it?" Xue Rengui said with a smile.

"I don't understand. I don't understand. Although my mother is Chinese, she didn't teach me such profound knowledge. " The blood lotus shakes its head."I'll explain it to you..." Xue Rengui said with a smile, "even if you live to be 80 years old, you are still your parents' daughter."

“……” Xuelian was silent for a while, sighed and nodded, "I understand You men, especially Han men, are so strange

"You won't understand." Xue Rengui raised his eyes and looked at the vast Tianshan Mountain in the distance. He said to himself with a sigh, "just like many people don't understand, why did you do that at the beginning..."

"Newspaper - General Xue!" A sentry horse galloped forward, flying reports, "more than ten riders were found at the foot of Tianshan Mountain in front of us. The comer claimed to be a confidant sent by shahboluoyehu Khan of Nanting. He made a special trip here to welcome general Xue!"

"Strange things." Xue Rengui couldn't help laughing and said, "just sent Hulu house in Beiting, and came to the envoy of Khan in Nanting! ——Is the sense of smell of the West Turks so sensitive? "

All the soldiers of the Tang army laughed together, while Xuelian was full of fog and water, eager to ask what Xue Rengui meant.

"Tianshan is the territory of Beiting, but the emissary of Nanting is here. Isn't it interesting?" Xue Rengui said with a smile, "come on, come on! ——I'll see what he wants! "
