Marry Changle in Datang

Qu Tong was about to let go of the spear to dodge, but there was still time, but before the battle, he heard the sound of "touching" the armor, the fellow vomited blood and fell on his horse's back, Zhou Cang dropped the spear he had taken empty-handed, and the iron rod was about to bear fruit This dog's life, suddenly heard someone yelling.

"Leave someone under the general's stick, and you must not hurt Qu Zongbing's life!"

Hearing the other party's exclamation, Zhou Cang turned and looked at Qin Wenyuan, hoping to see what the master wanted.

Xu Tian said to Ruan Xiong calmly.

"Let me see that Master Wei's golden face spared this guy's life, but he must be severely punished for the crime of insulting the Shangguan so that he will remember it long, Zhou Cang! For this officer, I amputated this guy's limbs."

Zhou Cang got the order to smash the iron rod several times, Qu Tong also fell into a coma after several screams.

Ruan Xiong was amazed that Qin Wenyuan was so iron-blooded, secretly thinking that Wei Xiaojie, the governor of Youzhou, might be angry that his confidant and favorite general had been deposed, causing him to have a feud with the Qin family army in western Liao, but the chief general of the Qin army seemed not to take this matter seriously "Come on," dazedly stepped forward and cupped his hands and said.

"The last general thanked my lord for not killing Qu Zongbing. I think that the current situation has delayed the opportunity. The foreign soldiers must have left here and entered the open grassland. If my lord sends the army to pursue it, it will be futile. Why don't you lead the army back to the camp How about waiting for the day to come?"

"I don't know the general's surname, but what I said is reasonable. I will lead the army to leave now. You can report back to Lord Wei, saying that Qin Wenyuan has taught him a lesson for his subordinates who don't respect the superior, and told him that it will delay the time for our army to fight. I didn't kill him because of Master Wei, and I hope Master Wei will help Liaoxi during the critical period of the development and stability of Liaoxi. Otherwise, no matter what kind of power it is, Qin dares to challenge Xu's bottom line, no wonder Qin doesn't care about affection."

Ruan Xiong was shocked by Qin Wenyuan's strong words again, and forgot to answer his name for a while, and he woke up and shouted loudly after Qin's army started to retreat.

"Unknown Ruan Xiong...!"

Amidst the sound of rumbling horseshoes, Ruan Xiong didn't know whether Qin Wenyuan heard what he said. However, what he saw today did give him a deep understanding of the Qin army. This is the great army of Tang Neng Anbang. All you can see is that there are big families of the Tang Dynasty colluding with the nobles of the imperial court and various forces outside the customs to harm the people of the Tang Dynasty for personal gain, while the chief official Wei Xiaojie has someone to help him in the court for his own status, but he turns a blind eye and closes his eyes Pretending not to see it, not only did not stop it, but gave greater help to these aristocratic families and nobles of the imperial court, it really made the soldiers who died fighting for the safety of the Tang border pass worthless, and now I finally see that there are great Tang troops for their help. The survival of the people at the border did not hesitate to offend all forces. Ruan Xiong was full of enthusiasm, thinking that if he could serve Xu Jun, wouldn't it be the happiest thing in his life.

While Ruan Xiong was thinking about it, Qin Wenyuan led his army to capture many Xi tribe soldiers who had fled north and left behind. When they approached the "valley" not far away, the scouts reported that thousands of Xi tribe infantry were heading northwest. move.

Qin Wenyuan was overjoyed and ordered the whole army to speed up their horses to outflank and raid this unexpected army.

These thousands of infantry were exactly the generals of the Xi tribe who had withdrawn from both sides of the valley. After retreating from both sides of the valley, they carefully touched a place not far from the barracks to observe the surrounding situation secretly. Killing the Quartet, while the Xi Clan and the Khitan cavalry fled separately, no longer thinking about gathering troops to organize a strong resistance.

Su Jinwu, the commander of the infantry of the Xi clan, did not know what kind of frightened situation the Khitan and cavalry of the Xi clan were in such a panic. They were still in the camp filled with smoke and fire, and they could still see the traces of being destroyed by artillery fire. However, they only saw the traces and did not know He couldn't think of such an earth-shattering scene with the power of the artillery fire. During his quiet observation, he saw that the Khitan army fled alone regardless of the life and death of the Xi army, and the Qin army seemed to be targeting the cavalry of his own clan. Hit one of them and give up the pursuit of the Khitan cavalry.

Seeing this situation, Su Jinwu knew that if he led [-] infantry troops to join the battle, preventing Xu Jun from chasing the Xi clan cavalry would not be effective at all, but would make his subordinates become sheep under the Qin Army's tiger's mouth. The combat cavalry on the land has an absolute advantage, and the infantry can only fight with the cooperation of the cavalry.

After the armies of both sides pursued and left this place, Su Jinwu's troops gathered some disabled cavalry and horses, and quickly retreated to the Xi tribe in the northwest of "Songmo" city. "Gubeikou" was blocked by the defenders and killed with a carbine.

When thousands of infantry and disabled cavalry were marching, Su Jinwu had to send scouts to investigate the movements of the Qin army and report that nearly ten thousand Tang army cavalry were attacking our army in an outflanking manner.

Su Jinwu was shocked when he heard the report, and immediately calmed down and ordered the whole army to stop advancing, and formed a formation on the spot to defend against the enemy.

I can't run away anymore, so why not try my best? Maybe there is still some way out, Su Jinwu thought.

Thousands of infantry quickly formed a defensive formation, spearmen lined up in front of the formation holding shields, and then archers and sword soldiers formed a square formation layer by layer. Su Jinwu led the army, not to mention that he really had some tricks, if he was not panicking about the safety of his own cavalry, he was still in ambush On both sides of the valley, Qin Jun must have suffered a lot of damage if he wanted to pass through the valley.

Qin Wenyuan led the army to gallop, and the scouts reported again less than a kilometer away from the enemy in front, so he stationed his horse and took a telescope to observe the enemy's situation in front, and saw that the enemy had already formed an formation, if the cavalry charged rashly, the enemy's archers would definitely not be injured. Small.

In order to reduce the casualties of the troops, Qin Wenyuan ordered the whole army to slow down and approach the enemy in a siege, in order to create a coercive force on the enemy and surrender without fighting.

When it was a hundred meters away from the enemy army, the Qin army had formed a complete encirclement of the Xi clan army. After Qin Wenyuan ordered his personal guards to make long-range weapons ready to strike, he rode his horse alone tens of meters in front of the army and shouted loudly. .

"Is there a general from the Xi clan who came out to answer?"

The words fell, but a middle-aged general in full armor came out and said.

"A certain is Su Jinwu, the leader of the Xi Clan. I don't know what the general intends to do?"

Seeing this handsome guy, Qin Wenyuan had a good impression of him, but he said calmly.

"General Su has to see the current situation clearly. You invaded the Tang territory for no reason and committed an unforgivable crime. However, this general has the virtue of living well. If you surrender, you can still save your life. Otherwise, don't blame a certain family for being cruel. You wait to start the massacre!"

Hearing what Qin Wenyuan said, Su Jinwu was a bit courageous, without the slightest trace of fear on his face, and said with a long-handled broadsword glowing with cold light.

"If the general wins the steel knife in Su's hand, then it will be as you said. If Su wins by chance, what should the general do?"

……

In fact, when Su Jinwu saw the formation of the Qin army and heard what Qin Wenyuan said, after a little pondering, he knew that the opponent wanted to subdue the enemy without fighting. Life and death, this guy also has a plan, why not provoke the opponent's generals to fight with him, make a bet, and maybe get the chance to retreat the whole army.

Qin Wenyuan stared at Su Jinwu with both eyes, and was really impressed by this guy's calm attitude in the face of an enemy several times his own.

"Yes! If you win the halberd in Qin's hand, you can lead the army. However, if you lose, you can surrender to Qin. What does the general think?"

Su Jinwu sighed, looked back at Erlang behind him for a few glances, turned around and nodded in agreement, it can be seen that this man loves soldiers like a son.

Qin Wenyuan jumped off his horse, holding a long halberd in his hand, holding a gesture with one hand, and he deserves his respect for loyal people.

Su Jinwu bowed his hands to return the salute, and then stopped talking. He clenched the hilt of the saber with both hands and made a gesture of hitting Huanglong. The shadows of several knives turned invisible, and their left and right trajectories changed in many ways, gradually forming a net of knives around Xu Tian's body.

Qin Wenyuan was also unambiguous, and the long halberd waved a faint red light in a semicircle. A few sparks collapsed in the sound of "Dang, Dang, Dang", and the haze of blue saber energy disappeared in an instant.

The two cheered at the same time, both secretly praising each other's martial arts.

The swords come and go, rolling up the evil spirit in the sky, the swords roar and the halberds chant, like a tiger and a dragon fighting for the front.

You can see that the move of the saber does not leave the opponent's body, the blade does not touch the halberd, the end is light and agile, like a blue butterfly fluttering close to the body, no matter how you attack it, it is useless.

Looking at the halberd, it is like a dragon raging in the sea, and the evil spirit ripples and spreads around. The red halberd is like an eagle fighting a rabbit in the sky. It is swift and fierce, and the crescent blade on the halberd is like The underworld hooks the sickle, and the world locks up the living beings.

Gradually, the blue light and red mist cover the bodies of the two of them, and occasionally they only hear the sound of "Ding Dang" and see the dazzling sparks bursting out of the blue-red light mist.

After fighting for hundreds of rounds, Qin Wenyuan found that although his opponent's sword style is exquisite, his own internal strength is limited. Presumably this guy has not learned the superior internal strength. If this continues, he will be exhausted in fighting Lily again.

At this time, Su Jinwu secretly cried out, facing Qin Wenyuan's endless use of internal energy, this guy was not only shocked by the unpredictable moves of the opponent's long halberd, but also restrained by the opponent's continuous energy.

He didn't know that it was because Qin Wenyuan didn't use the true energy in the "Pangu Heart Sutra", if the cold and hot true energy gushed out, no matter how exquisite his moves were, he couldn't resist them.

Sure enough, just as Qin Wenyuan thought, after dozens of rounds, Su Jinwu was obviously a little exhausted, his long sword moves gradually revealed flaws, empty doors frequently appeared during the battle, and he was a little flustered.

Seeing that the opponent did not take advantage of the situation to defeat him, Su Jinwu knew that the opponent was trying to save face for himself in front of the two armies, and he felt complicated, thinking that he had been immersed in the sword style for decades, but he was still no match for the opponent's young general , let out a long breath of frustration, put away the knife and jumped out of the battle group, blushing and said loudly.

"Thank you, General, for your mercy. Su has been defeated. I hope the general will treat the thousands of soldiers under Su's command well."

After finishing speaking, Su Jinwu knelt down in front of Xu Tian again. This move meant surrender. Qin Wenyuan knew what Su Jinwu meant. This meant that the soldiers under his command only surrendered but not surrendered. A gentleman.

Qin Wenyuan lifted him up, laughed loudly and said.

"A general who looks at Su has a Tang style, and he must have a lot of references to the Tang culture. Now that he has surrendered to Xu, Xu will not insult what you have learned. After this matter is over, you can go to the Qizhou teaching camp. Study, and then you will find the superior skills as a gift."

Su Jinwu was overjoyed. This guy has longed for the Tang civilization since he was a child. He is familiar with the epic poems of the Han Dynasty and the books on warfare. He can be regarded as a Confucian general among foreigners.

After surrendering Su Jinwu, Qin's army captured thousands of Xi soldiers and a small number of Khitan cavalry again.

Along the way, I saw banners fluttering and a mighty army marching towards the city of "Songmo".

The Battle of Liaoxi really came and went quickly. From the beginning to the end of the war, it took nearly half a month for the Xu army to win a big victory, capturing more than [-] people from the Mohe, Xi clan, Goryeo, and Khitan troops, and captured horses and horses. All kinds of supplies were exhausted, and as a large number of prisoners of war were escorted to various cities in western Liaoning to perform hard labor, Qin Wenyuan finally set his sights on the Youzhou Pass, which must be passed through on the business road.

……

Wei Xiaojie of the Governor's Mansion of Youzhou was sitting in the handsome seat, looking at Qu Tong, the commander-in-chief of the "Gubeikou" who was lying in the chair with all his limbs crippled, and anger towards Qin Wenyuan arose in his heart, thinking that "it depends on the master to beat a dog." "Well, it's obvious that you don't take yourself seriously.

"Your Commander, you can decide with the last general. Qin Wenyuan's traitor threatened that he would not be afraid of any force, saying that as long as he dared to fight against him, no matter who he was, he would be a mortal enemy. How arrogant!"

"I have my own concerns about this matter. Go back and recuperate. Gubeikou garrison commander Ruan Xiong will take over temporarily. It's a pity that this fellow doesn't rub the sand in his eyes. We have to send another general in the army to take over."

The two chatted a few more words in the government office. Wei Xiaojie ordered his soldiers to send Qu Tong back to the "Qu Mansion" in Youzhou City to resettle him. After Qu Tong went, Wei Xiaojie went back to his study and wrote a memorial to impeach Qin Wenyuan. Willfully killing the generals of the imperial court guarding the border, this fellow did not mention in the memorial the matter of preventing the Qin army from chasing foreigners, but blindly emphasized that the Xu army's reckless use of weapons brought great hidden dangers to the defense of Youzhou.

After the messenger sent the memorial to Chang'an City, Wei Xiaojie met the person sent by Changsun Wuji to deliver the letter a few days ago at the Flower Hall of the Dudu Mansion.

After Wei Xiaojie received the letter from Changsun Wuji, he roughly knew from the letter that the Changsun family wanted to make Qin Wenyuan difficult for himself, and increased the tax collection for passing caravans from Youzhou to Pingzhou and Yingzhou. In addition to rewarding the soldiers, the rest will be distributed by the two families. This will not only prevent the development of commerce and trade in western Liaoning, but also benefit themselves.

At first Wei Xiaojie didn't take it seriously, but he never saw the sender bring back his opinion. After seeing Qu Tong today, he finally made up his mind to fight Qin Wenyuan's arrogance and add obstacles to the development of Liaoxi.

Little did he know that Wei Xiaojie's mistake of thinking actually ruined half of his life's hard work, and looking back on today's events, he really regrets the beginning, this is a later story and will not be mentioned for the time being.

……

The Khitan Dahe Alliance, the Xi Clan, the Mohe Kingdom, and the Koryo State all sent special envoys to the Imperial Palace in Chang'an City to seek an audience with Li Shimin. At the same time, Xiao Yuhui, the Patriarch of the Xiao Family, and the elders of the Zhang, Wei, and Wang Clans also went to the Imperial Palace.
